Having experienced a shocking electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, James Franco’s world became completely dark and quiet for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.

One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorms started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up 20 minutes later, lying face down in muddy water. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a tree and muddy road. When Mrs. Franco came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.

The news of James regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a compellent answer as to why this should happen. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since James lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was another sudden shock.

A young fashion designer from Germany is revolutionizing high fashion by designing clothes from milk.

Domaske, 28, has developed a fabric(织物) called QMilch from high concentrations of the milk protein casein (酪蛋白). “It feels like silk and it doesn’t smell----you can wa sh it just like anything else,“ Domaske told Reuters. Made from all natural materials, QMilch has many health benefits, says Domaske. The amino acids（氨基酸）in the protein fight bacteria and aging, and can help regulate both blood circulation and body temperature, she says.

Domaske’s fashion label MCC is popular among people, and has now started weaving the milk fiber into its collection.

Currently MCC’s line of clothes----which feature flowing wrap dresses with modern cuts and bright patterns----are made from combinations of various fibers, including QMilch. But Domaske plans to design a collection made entirely from the milk fiber.

Milk fabric has been around since the 1930s, but was always produced in environmentally unfriendly ways that used a lot of chemicals. Unlike early forms, QMilch is made almost entirely from casein without chemicals.

“We have developed an all-natural fiber consisting of a very high concentration of casein, with a few other natural ingredients –and in only two years,” Domaske, a former microbiology student, say.

The casein is taken from dried milk powder and then heated up in a type of meat-mincing machine（绞肉机）with other natural ingredients. The fiber comes out in threads and is then made into yarn（纱线）on a spinning machine.

Domaske says it would take about 6 liters of milk to produce an entire dress, which costs about $200 to $270. Luckily, for that kind of money, the clothes don’t come with a date when they are no longer usable----during the heating process, the molecules（分子）bond in such a way that the protein won’t break down.

Due to its anti-bacterial qualities, the fiber can also be used in medicine and makeup, and some auto companies have ever looked into using it in car seat covering.

32. Which of the following feature of QMilch is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. It is beneficial to one’s health.

B. It feels soft and has a special smell.

C. It is easy to clean.

D. It is a man-made fiber that uses no chemicals.

33. We can learn from the passage that MCC’s line of clothes ?

A. are fashion labels created by Domaske’s students

B. are characterized by their modern cuts and bright patterns

C. are made completely from various chemicals

D. are produced in environmentally unfriendly ways

34. Put the following in order in which clothes can be produced from milk.

a. Casein is heated

b. Milk powder is acquired.

c. Casein is taken from dried milk powder.

d. The fiber is spun into yarn.

e. Threads of fiber are produced.

f. Clothes are woven.

A. a,c,b,e,d,f

B. b,c,a,d,e,f.

C. b,c,a,e,d,f

D. c,a,e,b,d,f

35. We can infer from the passage that .

A. this new type of clothing will never go out of fashion

B. these new clothes are reasonably priced

C. the new clothes are heat-resistant

D. milk fiber will have a good sales market 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项.。

Ways to save time

We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.

36But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that

really matter.

1.Get Out of Bed Earlier If you normally get up at 7:30 a.m, try getting up at 7:00 a.m. That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you’ve been meaning to finish.37

2.Do the Important Tasks First Once you get to work, get the important ones done first(not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones).You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones. 38The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won’t miss the important ones.

3.Reduce Interruptions If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. Constant interruptions don’t just eat up time, they also break your concentration. When you’ve got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail.39Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.

4.40 A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day.

When you’re working, work.If your concentration is slipping, take a prope r break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit.And if you’re facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it’s easier to deal with. A.Stay Focused on Your Work B.Take Breaks When Necessary

C.If you have an office door, close it.

D.If yo u work like this, you’ll save time.

E.Would you want me to make your day longer?

F.I can’t magically make all your days 25 hours long.

G.Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.

It is the season of weddings for Hindu families. Also, because the demand is so great, it is likely that several weddings take place in the same temple. So perfect timing is stuck to 41 there is no confusion; but 42 , as I found out, there is.

When I 43 Kalyani's invitation to her wedding, I made a note of it in my diary. She had been my schoolmate and we had got along well, so 44 I was happy to

From where I was sitting, I could not see 47 but I thought she had 48 a little since she left school. She looked a little fat now and wore glasses. I 49 my head. Anyway I 50 down to wait for the long ritual (仪式). As soon as the wedding was over, a line formed to 51 the couple and I joined in. When I arrived and handed her the 52 , she looked up and 53 a beautiful smile and only then did I realize that the 54 was entirely mine: it was not Kalyani at all.

Then I went to look for the correct wedding party in the 59 area. Sure enough there stood Kalyani. As I was walking up to her, I realized I was in deep 60 : I had just given the present meant for her to a complete stranger.

Riffat” Monaf, an interesting name and an even more interesting person. Her introduction took place about six years ago, and since then I have never met a more influential person in my life. Mrs Monaf not only conquered me with her vast knowledge of geography, but also won me over with her smile and warm eyes. It was in her class that I traveled to the highest mountains and to the deepest seas from the comfort of the classroom. I learned about the vast oceans, the erupting volcanoes, the snow-capped mountains and the green valleys. She would often relate her adventures about traveling to different parts of the world. Never can I forget the glory of her face when she talks about how truly beautiful this world is. If I search back my love for the environment and geography, I find her to be the source of my love for preserving nature. If one day I became an environmentalist, I know that I'll thank her for it. Apart from this, she has always greeted me with open arms and she calls her students “ my children ”Mrs. Monaf's morals and values rubbed off me deeply and I have always taken her advice into consideration. She has been one of the most consistently good things in my life. Currently, she is fighting a battle against breast cancer, and it pains me to know that after all she has done for me; I can do nothing for her except pray. Whenever I see her in school, she still keeps that kind smile and an expression so soft that it trembles my heart. Mrs Monaf still talks enthusiastically about geography, and I know that I can never see what a truly great person she has been in my life. . （1） What can we learn from the second paragraph? A.

高中英语阅读理解专项练习二(含答案)

A “You can use me as a last resort（选择）, and if nobody else volunteers，then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids lacrosse（长曲棍球）club. I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on … At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,“Alright. Yes, I’ll do it.” I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal. Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community（社区）as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services
