Once Dr. Mellinkoff invited me to join him at the hospital to discuss interesting cases with his students. The case at hand was a Guatemalan man, aged 34, who had a fever and many other medical problems. His condition was not improving, and there was not much hope he would live.

Dr. Mellinkoff asked to see the patient. He introduced himself in Spanish and, in a very gentle voice, asked how he felt. The patient smiled and said everything was all right. Then the doctor asked if he was able to eat. The patient said that he had no desire to eat.

“Are you getting food you like? ”

The patient said nothing.

“Do you get the kind of food you have at home? ”

The answer was negative.

The doctor put his hand on the man’s shoulder and his voice was very soft.

“If you had food that you liked, would you eat it? ”

“Yes, yes, ” the patient said.

The change in the patient’s appearance couldn’t have been more obvious. Nothing was said, but it was easy to tell that a message had been sent and had also been received.

Later, the doctor asked why the Guatemalan man wasn’t getting food he could eat. One of the students said, “We all know how difficult it is to get the kitchen to make special meals. ”

“Suppose, ” the doctor replied, “you felt a certain medicine was absolutely necessary but that our hospital didn’t carry it, would you accept defeat or would you insist the hospital meet your request? ”

“I would probably insist, ” the student said.

“Very well, ” the doctor said. “You might want to try the same method in the kitchen. It won’t be easy, but I can help you. Meanwhile, let’s get some food inside

this man as fast as possible, and stay with it. Or he’ll be killed by hunger. By the way, there must be someone among you who can speak Spanish. If we want to make real progress, we need to be able to talk with him. ”

Three weeks later, Doctor Mellinkoff told me that the Guatemalan man had left the hospital under his own power. It takes more than medicine to help sick people; you also have to talk to them and make them comfortable.

5. The patient had no desire to eat because _______.

A. he was not hungry

B. he was seriously ill

C. he was given special meals

D. he was not satisfied with the food

6. According to the passage, we can conclude that _______.

A. the patient’s native language was Spanish

B. the patient’s illness was caused by hunger

C. Dr. Mellinkoff performed an operation on the patient

D. the hospital failed to provide the right medicine for the patient

7. Which of the following words can be used to describe Dr. Mellinkoff?

A. Cold.

B. Considerate.

C. Curious.

D. Careless.

8. What do you think Dr. Mellinkoff wanted to tell his students in this case?

A. Doctors should be good at foreign languages.

B. Doctors should know their patients’ real problems.

C. Doctors should try to improve their medical skills.

D. Doctors should have a good relationship with their patients.

Employment practices often reflect the needs of employers

several decades ago. Times have changed. And so has the Canadian

workforce. Yet many employment practices have not kept pace with

this change. For example, some work environments and washrooms

designed for able-bodied workers seldom accommodate people who

use a wheelchair.

Modernizing these practices is what employment equality is about. For example, making sure work benches and washrooms are adapted for disabled people entering the workplace paves the way for workers who become disabled on the job. By doing so, any given group of people formerly discriminated against—now has access to better employment opportunities.

The objective, of course, is to make the workplace reflect Canadian society. However, this does not necessarily mean setting and enforcing quotas(实行配额）. Rather, it means identifying the barriers to employment and designing measures, with achievable goals and clear timetables, to remove them.

For example, according to the Canadian Union of Public Employees—Canada’s largest union, it would be unrealistic in the short term to insist that because half of the working age population is women, that half of the employees of an engineering firm should be women. At this moment, there would not be enough qualified female

engineers.

A reasonable numerical goal would be based on the number of women who actually are engineers（8%） and those who are studying to become engineers（25%）. A short term goal of 13% would be appropriate without running the risk of hiring unqualified people.

Equally important is to ensure people who have been disadvantaged the chance to become qualified for new opportunities. If aboriginal people（土著居民）, for example, can’t qualify for certain jobs because they haven’t had access to appropriate educational opportunities, then an employment equality program would have to address that problem with training programs.

Employment laws in this country cannot be considered displeasing if they guarantee all Canadians fair and equal access to the workforce.

1. The passage is mainly about how to _______.

A. modernize equipment for the disabled at work

B. achieve equality of employment opportunities

C. protect women’s rights in employment

D. complete a job training program

2. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to _______.

A. barriers

B. measures

C. goals

D. timetables

3. The example of women shows that _______.

A. only a small percentage of women engineers will get promoted

B. 13% of the working age women should be hired as engineers

C. policy makers should adopt a practical and flexible approach

D. the quota of women for employment should be raised

4. The underlined word “address” in Paragraph 6 probably means “_______”.

A. put forward

B. run into

C. find out

D. deal with

Grandpa Nybakken loved life—especially when he could play a trick on somebody.

At those times, his large Norwegian frame shook with laughter while he pretended to be innocently surprised, exclaiming, “Oh, forevermore! ”But on a cold Saturday in downtown Chicago, grandpa felt that God played a trick on him, and grandpa wasn’t laughing.

Grandpa worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some boxes for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage abroad. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His search proved fruitless.

Suddenly, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the boxes, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses were heading for China!

The Great Depression was at its height, and grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning.

“It’s not fair, ” he told God as he drove home in frustration. “I’ve been very faithful in giving of my time and money to your work, and now this. ”

Several months later, the director of the orphanage was on vacation in the United States. He wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandpa’s small church in Chicago. Grandpa and his family sat in their usual seats among the small congregation (教堂会众).

“But most of all, ” he said, “I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year. ”

“Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses. Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my co-workers and I were much in prayer about this. Then your boxes arrived. When my staff removed the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on the top. ”After a long pause, he continued, “Folks, when I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been custom-made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that! ”

The people listened, happy for the amazing glasses. But the director surely must have confused their church with another, they thought, there were no glasses on their

list of items to be sent overseas.

But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenterhad used him in an extraordinary way.

5. Which of the following is NOT true about grandpa Nybakken according to the passage?

A. He was an outgoing man and held an active attitude towards life.

B. He had a large family to support.

C. He was a carpenter working in the church.

D. He was a loyal Christian.

6. Grandpa spent much of his time and money in church mainly to _______.

A. help the priest do some religious work

B. help those people in need

C. make some woodwork for the church

D. seek some help from God

7. The people in the church but grandpa felt confused at what the director said because _______.

A. grandpa didn’t tell the director that he was the owner of the glasses

B. the director wanted to return the glasses even though he liked it

C. the director could not get such glasses in their own country

D. the glasses were not included in the donation list

8. Which can be the best title of the passage?

A. Grandfather’s Life

B. The Helpful Donation

C. The Perfect Mistake

D. An Impressive Speech

Next Halloween, a small vegetable that looks like a pumpkin

may appear in a garden near you. The vegetable is a type of pepper

that is called “Lil’ Pumpkin”. It’s very special because it has

orange, pumpkin-like fruit.

You might think that all vegetables are grown to provide food to eat. But some vegetables are grown mainly for the lively color and holiday spirit that they bring to gardens. These are called “ornamentals (观赏性植物)”. Just like lights decorate a Christmas tree, they decorate a garden.

The peppers were bred (培育) by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists John Stommel and Robert Griesbach. Another pepper the scientists developed is called “Pepper Jack”. Because Pepper Jack has orange and black cone-shaped (锥形的) fruit, it might remind you of the popular Halloween treat “candy corn”.

Stommel says that vegetable crops such as peppers were first widely grown in Europe in the 15th century. At that time, people liked these crops more because they looked pretty than because they provided food.

Back then, when a gardener grew plants for decoration and plants for food, the garden was called a “potager”. An example of this is the large gardens on the lawns (草坪) of castles and very large homes where kings and queens lived. One of those large royal homes was the French king’s palace at Versailles during the 1600s. The palace is still there today, and people from all over the world still go there to visit and see the gardens.

Today, Stommel says using vegetables as decorations in gardens has become popular again.

So you might be wondering, if these peppers are for decoration, can people eat them? Yes, but the fruit from both of these peppers has a sharp taste (kind of like onions).

These peppers are scheduled to become available in mid-2011. These pretty peppers can be grown in containers and also in garden beds. They grow best with plenty of light and warm temperatures, Stommel says.

9. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Different kinds of peppers.

B. The history of peppers.

C. Peppers with the Halloween spirit.

D. Food for the Halloween festival.

10. What do we know about “Lil’ Pumpkin” and “Pepper Jack”?

A. They are used to decorate Christmas trees.

B. They are grown mainly to provide food to eat.

C. Their fruits have different shapes.

D. Their fruits are of the same color.

11. The underlined word “they”in Paragraph 2 refers to “_______”.

A. these vegetables

B. these holidays

C. these lights

D. these scientists

12. According to the passage, a potager was _______.

A. the place where kings and queens lived

B. the garden in the French king’s palace

C. a place providing vegetables for the royal homes

D. a garden with plants for decoration and for food

高考英语阅读理解三篇

(A ) A coal-fire stove(炉灶)provided heating for Zhao Yaoqin's courtyard bungalow in a Beijing hutong all her life. This winter, however, the stove has disappeared from the 66-year-old's life, and an electric radiator takes its place beside her bed, a product of a government to use clean energy in the national capital. With the Olympics to be staged in Beijing next August, the city is determined to eliminate the use of coal within the Third Ring Road that circles the city before the Games. The project to replace the stoves with electric radiators has been part of the effort. When the city's four-month long heating season started on Thursday, coal-fired stoves, known as a big source of pollution in the big city, have disappeared from some 20,000 local households like Zhao's bungalow in the inner city "hutong" -- traditional alleyways(小巷) that date back centuries. "We used to boil water or bake bread on the stove," said Zhao, sounding sentimental(伤感) to the disappearance of the coal furnace from her life. Late in the 1990s, Beijing's air quality monitoring office found that the emissions(排放) of sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide from the hutong areas have been higher than the city's average in winter, mainly because of the coal stoves. With the project to switch to clean energy for heating launched in 1999, the emission level of the two poisonous substances decreased by 42 percent and 44 percent, respectively, this year from 2001 levels. Zhao said the fee for electrical heat for the entire winter was usually around 2,400 yuan (US$323) per household. With the government's subsidy（补贴）, however, she only needed to pay about 500 yuan, nearly the same price as that for coal. 1．Zhao Yaoqin’ example in the passage is to tell us that_______. A.people in Beijing using electric radiators to welcome the Olympics. B.people in Beijing are doing something to protect the environment. C.hutongs in Beijing have a long history. D.People pay more money to use electric radiators than before. 2. The underlined word eliminate probably means________ A. cut down. B. increase. C. get rid of. D. replace 3. We can infer from the passage that ______ A. Zhao Yaoqin has a strong and deep emotion with the use of coal-fire stove. B. The government will pay most of the fee. C. The air of Beijing has been badly polluted since 1990s. D. The people do not use coal eight months in one year. 4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. The clean air is important when the Olympics Games is held in Beijing. B. The success of the Olympics Games depends on the clean air. C. The government spare no effort to make the environment better. D. The emission level of poisonous substances will be low in 2008.

(英语)高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案

（英语）高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they've learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one's action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life. （1）It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A. very good players on the team B. addicted to alcohol and drugs C. three junior students and two senior students D. scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol （2）What did the girls do to support their coach's decision? A. They didn't fight for Danville High School any more. B. They all gave speeches to apologize in the local press. C. They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium. D. They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life. （3）Which word best describes the coach Rainville? A. Indifferent. B. Strict. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel. （4）Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Growing up with pain B. A bad mistake C. Team rules are everything D. Basketball girls in high school 【答案】（1）A

I walked up to him and right on queue he asked me for a quarter. “I’ll give you a quarter if you tell me your story.” He laughed, “You’ll give me a quarter for my story?” I lay the qu front of him and corrected myself –“Nah, here’s the quarter but it would be nice to hear your story.” I followed his eyes to the quarter and for a brief moment I saw a glimmer of reflection. I sat down next to him and waited. I was a sniper(狙击手)and was supposed to shoot down the “I was in the army,” he said. “ carefully to his grizzly voice as he went deeper into the story. enemy from the distance.” I listened He wore dirty old torn clothes and smelled like a dead rat left in a mouse trap. He told me how he used to hunt with his family and was really good at it. He had his own way of respecting animals by not wasting what he killed for food and not killing more than he needed.

But I wouldn’t be able to live with continued, “I can live with being homeless—that’s killing innocent people.” On that lonely Friday night, I met a hero. It just never occurred to me that a hero could be a smelly old man left on streets. 1. It can be learned from the passage that the homeless man_______. （） A. never killed animals B. had a strong respect for life C. deserved the punishment he received D. felt guilty about disobeying the order
