一、

What are the chances of a 100-year-old chocolate candy falling in your treat bag this Halloween？Though Goo Goo Clusters may not be as familiar as Kit Kat or Hershey bars，people of all ages have enjoyed this Southern staple(产品)for an entire century.

In 1901，a 19-year-old named Howell Campbell opened a candy store in Nashville，Tennessee.He made all kinds of sweets and hard candies with just two copper kettles and about a dozen employees.Then，in 1912，he made the first candy to combine chocolate with other ingredients such as caramel，marshmallow nougat，and peanuts.Originally，these clusters were hand-wrapped and sold under the counter at a few local stores with a sign reading，“A nourishing lunch for a nickel.” Now，they are known as Goo Goo Clusters.Nearly 20，000 of these chocolate treats are made per hour in a factory in Nashville.

What else makes a Goo Goo so special？“In addition to it being the very first-ever combination confection created，its shape also makes it quite unique，” says Beth Sachan，Goo Goo Clusters' senior marketing manager.“The Goo Goo Cluster is a big，imperfectly round mound of deliciousness！”

The 100th anniversary of the Goo Goo Cluster is being celebrated throughout the month of October，the biggest candy-selling month of the year.Ab out 40 restaurants in the Nashville area have created unique desserts inspired by Goo Goo Clusters to serve to their customers.

Additionally，a Goo Goo-sponsored race called the “Jog'n Hog” was held in Nashville on October 13.Adults and children ran three miles to the finish line after eating at least one of six Goo Goo Clusters from a bag they were given at the halfway point.A golden Goo Goo was hidden in one of the bags.The winner received a $100 gift certificate to the candy's website，https://www.wendangku.net/doc/6c8348190.html,.After the race，a scavenger hunt was held throughout the city.

二、

A food chain is a simple way of explaining how each living thing gets its food.For example，a simple African food chain might consist of three parts：(1)trees and bushes；(2)giraffes; and(3)lions.Each link in a food chain is food for the next link.Food chains always start with plants and end with animals.

Plants are at the bottom of the food chain.Scientists call them producers，because they use light energy from the sun to produce food from carbon dioxide and water through photosynthesis(光合作用)．Animals，unlike plants，can't produce their own food.Instead，they must eat plants or other animals.This is why scientists call them consumers.

Consumer animals fall into three categories.Herbivores eat only plants.Carnivores eat only other animals.Omnivores eat both plants and animals.In

addition to producers and consumers，there are also decomposers.These organisms，such as bacteria and fungi，feed on decaying matter.They help the food chain by speeding up the decaying process that releases minerals back into the soil to be absorbed by plants as nutrients.

Most food chains have only four or five links in them.As you go up a food chain，the amount of energy at each level diminishes，because some of the energy is lost in the form of waste or is used up by the organism at that level.That is why it takes many plants，for example，to feed a few giraffes who in turn feed one lion.

Most animals are part of many different food chains，because they must eat more than one type of food to satisfy their energy needs.All of these interconnected food chains form a more complex structure called a food web.Humans，for example，are at the center of a very complex food web，because we tend to eat many different types of plants and animals.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章以食物链为话题，分析说明了自然界中动植物相互依存的关系，并提出了食物链中的主体——食草动物、食肉动物和草肉皆食动物。

1．Which of the following tells us the African food chain?

A．Trees，giraffes and lions live on one another.

B．Giraffes eat lions and lions feed on bushes.

C．Lions live on giraffes and giraffes eat trees.

D．Bushes live on lions and lions eat giraffes.

1．C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的最后两句“Each link in a food chain is food for the next link.Food chains always start with plants and end with animals.”可知，非洲食物链的依存关系。

2．In the second paragraph，the author is mainly to________．

A．emphasize the importance of the plants

B．compare the plants and the animals

C．present the scientists' different views

D．explain the producers and consumers

3．The underlined word “diminishes”(in Paragraph 4)probably means________．A．changes B．decreases

D．disappears D．increases

3．B 词义猜测题。根据下文中的“...because some of the e nergy is lost in the form of waste or is used up by the organism at that level.”可以推知，该词的意思是“减少”。

4．Those that may lie in the centre of the food chain are______．

A．the omnivores B．the decomposers

C．the herbivores D．the carnivores

4．A 推理判断题。根据第三段第四句和最后一段作者所列举的例子可知，既食草又食肉的动物位于食物链的核心。

5．What would be the best title for this passage?

A．The types of plants and animals

B．The differences among the living things

C．Three categories of the consumers

D．The food chain in the natural world

高频词汇

herbivore n. 动] 食草动物

carnivore n. 动] 食肉动物

omnivore n. 动] 杂食动物；不偏食的人

interconnect v. 互相联系

【长难句分析】Most animals are part of many different food chains，because they must eat more than one type of food to satisfy their energy needs.大多数动物是许多不同食物链的一部分，因为它们不只吃一种食物以满足自己的能量需求。

该句为复合句。句中because引导原因状语从句。另外，more than one意为“许多”；satisfy意为“使满足”。

三、

Most cell phone companies design models especially for kids.But parents are

usually the ones buying the phones，and paying the bill.According to a July 2012 study，56% of parents of children aged 8 to 12 have given their children a cell phone.According to a recent YouthBeat survey，12 is the magic number.It is the most common age for kids to get their first cell phone.But 13% of children aged 6 to 10 already have one.That's more than one out of every 10 kids.

Pro-cell phone people，including many parents，note that cell phones help kids keep in touch with their friends and families.They believe that cell phones are an important tool in an emergency.Kids can stay connected with their parents at all times，whether it's to ask for a ride home from soccer practice or to receive a good-luck text message moments before a big game.Plus，some cell phones designed for kids can be controlled with settings that allow the phone to only be used in parent-appro ved ways.What's the harm in that?

But other people are worried about the health and safety effects of kids' cell phones.They believe that plugged-in kids could be missing out on other activities，such as playing outside or hanging out with friends，and that sending text messages or fielding phone calls while doing homework is bad for concentration.They say that kids are spending too much time texting instead of talking to each other.“Our brains evolved to communicate face to face，” says Gary Small，a professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine，in California.“A lot of this is lost with texting.”

And some experts are also concerned about possible health risks.They worry that radiation—or energy waves—released by cell phones could be harmful to young people.To be safe，many pediatricians advise limiting talk time.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。根据最新的一项调查表明，现在大多数孩子都携带手机，并介绍了人们对孩子携带手机的两种不同观点和看法，对此专家给出了一些建议。

B．most kids are eager to have their own cell phones

C．many kids have their first cell phone at the age of 12

D．more than half of the parents can afford to buy cell phones

1．C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的倒数第二句“It is the most common age for kids

to get their first cell phone.”可知，许多孩子在12岁的时候开始拥有自己的第一部手机。

2．Pro-cell phone people probably refer to those who think that kids________.

A．mustn't own cell phones

B．should have cell phones

C．had better make more friends

D．may lose touch with others

3．What would be the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A．The disadvantages of cell phones.

B．Cell phones designed for kids.

C．The kinds of cell phones.

D．How to send text messages.

3．A 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的第一句“But other people are worried about the health and safety effects of kids' cell phones.”可知，该段主要介绍了孩子携带手机的坏处。

4．According to Gary Small，cell phones________.

A．waste us a lot of money

B．are of great benefit to many kids

C．bring much pleasure to most of the kids

D．reduce kids' face-to-face communication

4．D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后他所说的话语可知，他的观点表明携带手机会减少孩子们面对面的交流。

5．The author's attitude toward the fact that kids have cell phones is________.

A．supportive B．objective C．negative D．optimistic

高频词汇

hang out with 与……出去玩；与……闲逛

plug-in adj. 可插入插头的

evolve v. 发展，进展；进化；逐步形成

【长难句分析】Kids can stay connected with their parents at all times，whether it's to ask for a ride home from soccer practice or to receive a good-luck text message moments before a big game.不管是在足球训练后要求接回家，还是在一场大型的比赛之前收到一条祝愿好运的短信，孩子们能一直和父母保持联系。

该句为复合句。句中whether...or...连接让步状语从句，意为“无论是……还是……”。另外，stay connected with为“和……保持联系”之意。

Driving on up to Yosemite with my family was exciting yet nerve racking.I had never been to such an amazing national park before yet I wasn't the most athletic person so I knew that I couldn't stick through all the hiking up and down.It actually ended up being a fun and adventurous experience.

The ride there was definitely long but worth it.As I woke up from my nap，I saw the beautiful scenery of the tall mountains and beautiful streams.The trails were

made nicely for visitors.The waterfalls were breathtaking with capturing views.Climbing up rocks was one of my favorite parts.Even though I fell a couple of times，I still had a lot of fun.The fact that my family and I spent so much time together all trying to find out which route to take and what views to watch really brought us closer together.

The great thing about nature is that，it's just you，the views，and the people around you.There's nothing there to bother you and it's the best way to relax and enjoy yourself.Yosemite has 5 of the world's highest waterfalls，and about 300 lakes.The structure of each mountain is incredible，it's formed in ways that literally take your breath away.Some of them are a deep dark color with waterfalls forming，some are formed with spots of green peeking out.It's definitely something you wouldn't want to miss.The park also has 67 mammalian species with a variety of different types of animals that roam around you.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 A To American visitors, Iceland is a very interesting country, partly because it is different in so many ways from what he or she is used to seeing at home. There are quite a few things that are not done, or that do not exist on the island —quite a few "No's". There is no pollution, for instance. No dogs are permitted in Reykjavik, the capital. There is no television on Thursdays or during the entire month of July, and only three hours of black-and-white TV the rest of the time. There is no hard liquor on Wednesdays and no beer at any time. There are no handguns; only one jail of thirty-five cells in the entire land —an admirable figure, even for a small country of 313,376 people. There is no army, air force or navy. There is no tipping for anything. There are no large stores open on Saturdays or Sundays. Since Iceland is situated just under the Arctic Circle, there is no darkness in summer and no daylight in winter. But thanks to Gulf Stream, the climate is rather mild, with temperatures ranging from 34 degrees Fahrenheit to 52 degrees in July. The rules on television, liquor, and guns are the result of governmental decision. But the absence of pollution is due in great part to the fact that Iceland gets its power from the enormous geyser(间歇泉and the thousands of hot springs that come out of the ground. They provide all the energy needed by the country. In fact, Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available power. Iceland has been described as a democratic independent country where more fish are caught and more books published per person than anywhere else in the world. The Icelanders have always felt a particular love for literature. They composed their first works in the ninth and tenth centuries AD. These works were poems and tales about the kings, heroes, and heroines of Iceland and Norway. At first the stories were memorized

高三英语阅读理解(带详解)

I watched from a distance as the homeless man quarreled with those who did not leave money for him – the majority. 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 quarter in 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 in the army,‖ he said. ―I was a sniper(狙击手)and was supposed to shoot down the enemy from the distance.‖ I listened carefully to his grizzly voice as he went deeper into the story. 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. When the army came knocking on his door, he felt pride and joined up. All those years of polishing his hunting skills could now serve a larger purpose—to defend us from the bad guys. He set out to fight in Iraq. It wasn’t long before he realized his ideals and expectations were just a shadow of the truth. He became disillusioned with the killings, which he felt were of innocent people. ―I was a sniper but I never really killed anyone,‖ he said. ―One day I had to do it. They asked me to shoot this lady from the distance. I saw kids near that lady and my hands were on the trigger (扳机). Man, I was tearing up ... I couldn’t do it. She wasn’t doing anything to anyone and she was with the kids—I couldn’t see through my tears. It just didn’t make any sense to me.‖ The story goes on as he describes eventually being put into prison for 180 days for refusing to follow orders. He told me how he was black listed so that he couldn’t get a job. All the rights we take for granted were taken away from him. Why? Here was a man who was being punished—and for what? For refusing to kill the lady? For being a hero? ―I have no regrets,‖ the homeless man said. ―I may be homeless now, but I never killed that lady. I never killed anyone in the army. It didn’t feel right. I didn’t go there to do that. I went there to save people.‖ He continued, ―I can live with being homeless—that’s okay. But I wouldn’t be able to live with 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

2017年高考英语阅读题 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节,满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分,满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Attending college can be expensive, and applying to college can be costly as well. With today’s college application fees averaging around $ 80, you can expect to spend hundreds of dollars on college before you are even accepted into a school. One of the easiest ways to save money on college application fees before you begin applying is to narrow down your list of schools. To save money, try to limit the schools to which you apply to about 2- reach schools and 2- safety schools. At some schools, being a relative of a graduate can secure you a free application. If you are applying to a school where one of your parents or grandparents is a former graduate, check to see if you’re qualified for it. Research the preferred method of applying for each school on your list. Some schools offer free online applications, yet charge a fee for paper submissions. This is because online applications save schools the cost of employing a staff member to physically enter the application information. Several states, such as Michigan and North Carolina, take part in College Application Week, where many schools in the participating states cancel their application fee for the week. Be sure to contact the schools to I j which you are applying to see if they participate in College Application Week and when the program takes place in that state. Apply for early admission. If you have already decided on which college is your top choice, consider applying under an Early Action or Early Decision admission program. If you are accepted, you won’t have to submit application fees to other schools. For more information regarding college applications and the fees associated with them, contact your high I school advisor or the admissions department at your school(s) of interest. 21.The passage is mainly written to______. A.introduce famous universities in the United Stales B.show some practical ways to apply an ideal college C.advertise for successful applications and advisors D.offer tips to save money on college application fees

2017年高考英语全国卷I--语法填空答案及详解

第二节(共10小题；每小题 1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt. This trend, which was started by the medical community（医学界）61 a method of fighting heart disease, has had some unintended side 62(effect) such as overweight and heart disease—the very thing the medical community was trying to fight. Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required 63(process) the food that we eat, to recover from injury and for several other bodily functions. When fat and salt 64 (remove) from food, the food tastes as if it is missing something. As 65 result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even 66 (bad), the amount of fast food that people eat goes up. Fast food 67(be) full of fat and salt; by 68 (eat) more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet. Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack(吃点心) between meals and will improve the taste of your food. However, be 69 (care) not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible to have too much of both, 70 is not good for the health. 翻译：最近，在食品服务业方面有一种朝着低脂肪和少盐的趋势。这种趋势最初是由医学界发起，用来作为防御心脏病的一种方式，已经产生一些意料之外的副作用，例如，肥胖 和心脏病，这正好是医学界致力去防御的疾病。 脂肪和盐分是每日膳食中的重要部分。我们需要他们去加工处理摄入的食物、有助于伤病的恢复和满足几项人体正常的运作。当脂肪和盐分从食物当中被去除了，食物尝起来 好像有所缺失。结果，人们会吃更多的食物来补偿缺失的东西。甚至更糟糕的是，人们吃 了更多的快餐食品。快餐中脂肪和盐的含量很高；由于吃了更多的快餐，人们会摄入比他 们在饮食中所需要的更多的盐分和脂肪。 通过每日饮食摄入足够的脂肪和盐分会减少在两餐之间吃点心的欲望，而且会提高你的食物的味道。然而，要注意不要摄入过量。跟其他食物一样，我们也有可能会吃太多， 这一点是对我们的健康不利。 61.as 考查介词。根据句意“这一趋势最开始被医学界作为一种治疗心脏病方法”可知这里 表达“作为”之意，所以答案填as。 62.effects 考查名词单复数。有前面的修饰短语some可知这里的side effects应该用复数，所以答案填effects。 63.to process 考查非谓语动词。根据固定短语be required to do sth.“被要求做某事”可知此处答案填to process。

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps，back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time. （1）Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps? A. Because he was injured in his swimming. B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment. C. Because westerners know a little about TCM. D. Because westerners attach great importance to TCM. （2）Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases. B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture. C. Because Western medicine is more effective. D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly. （3）Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4? A. The methods of planting herbs. B. The effectiveness of prescription. C. Lacking in standardization. D. Its stable functions.

2017届全国高考英语阅读理解汇编(1)英语试卷

2017届全国高考英语阅读理解汇编（1）英语试卷SYS201708100601 一、阅读理解 详细信息 1. 难度：中等 阅读理解。 Many of us still tend to think that emotions can affect reasonable thought，and sometimes land us in trouble. But in recent years psychologists have taken quite a different view. Keith Oatley，Professor of Psychology at Glasgow University，is involved in the research which shows the fundamental importance of emotions. He believes we are very ambivalent about them：we think of our emotions as being unreasonable，but we also consider them as essential to being human.For example，Mr Spock，a character in the television series Star Trek，is superintelligent and he has no emotions at all.However，he is never made captain of the spaceship.Maybe，this is because Mr Spock is not the kind of person you can share your feelings with—a person who shows his emotions. As Professor Oatley points out，our emotions have very important functions，for example，fear.If we cross the road and a car approaches，we usually stop moving or step back.We stop what we are doing，check what we have done and pay very careful attention to the environment.The emotion of fear makes us take this small series of actions which，on average，help preserve our safety. On the other hand，if things are going well and small problems come up，we find we can solve them with the resources we have to hand.As a consequence，we tend to feel happy and usually continue doing the job. Anger is an emotion that tends to occur when someone is preventing us from doing something.Then this small “kit” of reactions enables us to prepare ourselves to be quite aggressive to that person，or to try harder，and so on. Professor Oatley believes emotions generally occur at these important moments in actions.With fear and anger our emotions make us decide to start doing something else，while with happiness they “suggest” we continue what we are already doing. 1.What’s Keith Oatley’s opinion about emotions? A．They affect reasonable thought. B．They get us into trouble. C．They are helpful to us. D．They are reasonable. 2.What does the underlined part “we are very ambivalent about them”in Paragraph 2 mean? A．We have contradictory feelings towards emotions. B．We have similar ideas of emotions.
