As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. 41 you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to 42 down. But relaxation is 43 for a healthy mind and body.

Stress is a 44 part of everyday life and there is no way to 45 it. In fact, it is not the bad thing that it is often supposed to be. A 46 amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give 47 to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control 48 it can lead to poor performance and 49 health.

The amount of stress a person can bear 50 very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such 51 are obviously chief material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at first 52 of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in 53 form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between 54 and fight. And in more ancient days the choices made the 55 between life and death. The crises(危机) we meet today are 56 to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it requires the same response. It is when such a reaction 57 long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes 58 . Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have 59 links with stress. 60 we cannot remove stress from our lives we need to find ways to deal with it. It would be unwise to do so even if we could.

So what do you think of stress? What is your way to deal with it?

第二部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。

A

When people advise your children to “get an education”, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to give manpower for your society.

Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you are occupationally(职业上) dead, unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison and you can successfully stop study in primary school.

Get a college degree, if possible. With a BA(学士学位), you should start to find a job. You have to put on the brakes now. If you do go for a master’s degree, make sure it is an MBA and only from a first-class university. Otherwise, the famous law of diminishing(报酬递减律) begins to work.

Do you know; for example, that long-distance truck drivers make more money a year than full professors(正教授)? Yes, each driver was paid $ 28,000 in 1997 while a full professor managed to get $ 27,930.

A PhD is the highest degree you can get, but except in few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry, where the degree can quickly by turned to industrial or commercial aim, you are facing a not very bright future. There are more PhDs unemployed in this country than in any other part of the world by far.

If you became a PhD in English or history or political science or languages or－worst of all-in philosophy, you take the risk of becoming over-educated for our national demands.

Thousands of PhDs are selling shoes, driving taxis, vomiting on tables and filling out applications month after month, and then may be taking a job in high school or college with the pay much less than a door-keeper makes.

61. According to the writer, the society expects education to turn out people who will ________.

A. raise their payment

B. become specialized in some way

C. have a bright future

D. meet the demands as a source of manpower

62. If you don’t want to be occupationally dead, you ____________.

A. should look for a job in a primary school

B. must at least get a high school diploma

C. have to change your name for Bernard Shaw or Edison

D. should go on learning and become a doctor or physics or chemistry

63. The underlined phrase “put on the brakes” (in Para 3) means ________.

A. stop learning for a high degree

B. take up master’s degree at once

C. go on studying in a first-class university

D. find any interesting job

64. Which of the following is not TRUE according to the passage?

A. Neither Bernard Shaw or Edison finished high school

B. There are more PhDs than the society demands.

C. The higher education level is, the more money you will earn.

D. If you are overeducated, you can not easily get a good job.

B

Allen: I’ve never been a big fan of the bears, especially the vacation show. On my last trip to Disneyland(1999) we passed it by, because we didn’t want to spend the time on something we didn’t really enjoy. If we’d known it would be closed by our next visit, I’m sure we would have watched it one more time. I was just making the point that it wasn’t until Disney announced the closing that this feeling suddenly sprang(弹跳) up for the Country Bear show at Disneyland.

But I think the idea of keeping some attractions open forever regardless of the number of visitors it gets is a mistake. We all have great memories of the Bears, but clearly very few kids today (or I should say families today) are making those same memories from this show. That may be a sad fact, but it’s a fact. For whatever reason, the show doesn’t pull in the numbers. Isn’t it right to use the Country Bear space to bring in more popular attraction so that more kids today can make those magic memories of an attraction they like? Otherwise aren’t we just telling kids today that they “have to”make great memories of the Bears, when it’s obvious that the kids themselves are not enjoying the Bears like we did.

Roger: I am very disappointed that they have decided to retire the Country Bear Playhouse. I remember going to the show as a child, and still enjoyed it as a teenager, and now young adult. It is true that there aren’t a lot of shows left at DL and with this one closing even less. Being at DL does require a lot of walking, and it is nice to have a few attraction that are a place to sit and enjoy a good show. I understand that DL has to develop, but there has to be some history to the Disneyland that Walt Disney first designed. There should be some parts of DL that just never go away and this is one of them. By the time I have children it looks like there won’t be any attractions that I can say. I went to as a child at the rate they are going.

Now the Bears are leaving. What I want to say is: stop trying to compete with everyone! DL is the best, because of attractions like the Country-Bears. If DL insists on destroying all of its magic to make way for the latest, well, then it might as well be just another theme park.

65. What news might get people talking about the problem of the Country Bears?

A. The Country Bear Playhouse will be closed.

B. There will be a new attraction for our guests at Disneyland.

C. The number of visitors to the Country Bear Playhouse is falling.

D. The Bears will retire because of old age and can’t give shows any more.

66. Allen spoke mainly to get this point across that __________.

A. the Bears will be missed

B. we should tell kids today that they “have to” make great memories of the Bears

C. the longtime attraction ought to make way for a future attraction

D. people never care about what they have until all is lost

67. Which is the best choice to complete Roger’s idea: the Country Bears have been a part of Disneyland

for nearly 30 years, _________.”

A. and I feel it is time to give our bears a good rest

B. but anyway, the attraction has lost interest

C. but I know that Disneyland will always be changing, and I accept that

D. and I am sad that the Bears will be leaving

68. Which of the following is NOT in the same group as the other three?

A. an attraction

B. a theme park

C. the Bears

D. the latest magic

69. Where can this passage be found?

A. In a Web discussion zone.

B. In a suggestion book.

C. In a report on the popularity of the Country Bears.

D. In high school students’ compositions.

C

IT is always hard for a small fish to live in a big pond. Pluto’s recent departure(离开) from the classical planet family clearly proves that size really matters.

Astronomers voted on August 24 to create the first scientific definition of the word “planet”, and Pluto obviously didn’t make the cut. It turned out to be only a “dwarf planet”(矮行星).

After weeks of heated debate, over 2,500 astronomers from 75 countries voted on the definition of a “planet”at a conference of the International Astronomical Union (IAU). According to the definition, a planet must have a clear neighborhood around its orbit(轨道). Pluto has widely been considered a planet since its discovery in 1930. Unfortunately, it has a special orbit which overlaps with Neptune’s. It is all because, compared with Neptune, Pluto is very small. It is attracted by Neptune’s gravity when the two planets get closer.

According to IAU. a “dwarf planet”should have an orbit around the Sun. It will not have a clear neighborhood around its orbit, and must not be a satellite. The new classification means that the science textbooks will have to be updated. The solar system is now made up of the eight “classical planets,”together with a number of dwarf planet. The classical planets are: Mercury; Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The debate over Plates status started in 1992. After an advanced telescope was sent into space, astronomers started to find a belt of objects, which lies beyond Neptune. The belt contains nearly 1,000 objects, including Pluto. As they continued the exploration, scientists recently discovered at least 41 dwarf planets at the edges of the solar system. There are at least two objects of a similar size to Pluto.

It seems that even if the IAU had kept Pluto’s status as a planet, the classical theory of nine planets in the solar system would have had to be changed, but the other way around. More dwarf planets of a similar size to Pluto would join the family of planets. Scientists will probably find many more dwarf planets.

70. According to the passage, Pluto is ___________.

A. a planet which has a clear neighbouhood around its orbit

B. a satellite of Neptune which was discovered in 1930

C. is the smallest planet in the solar system

D. a planet which has an orbit around the sun

71. The sentence “IT is always hard for a small fish to live in a big pond” quoted in the beginning of the

passage is used to _______________.

A. tell us small fish can hardly survive in the big pond

B. tell us the size of an object really matters

C. mean that small planet can hardly exist in the solar system

D. explain the disappearance of Pluto in the solar system

72. From the last paragraph we can infer that if IAU kept Pluto’s status as a planet, the number of planets in

the solar system would be ________________.

A. eight

B. nine

C. less than nine

D. more than nine

73. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. According to definition of a “planet”, if Pluto were bigger it would not have left the classic planet

family.

B. More dwarf planets of a similar size to Pluto would join the family of planets. Many more dwarf

planet will be found by the scientists in the future.

C. Pluto has a special orbit which overlaps with Neptune’s because it is so small as to be attracted by

Neptune’s gravity when the two planets get closer.

D. A “dwarf planet”, which must not be a satellite without a clear neighborhood around its

orbit, should have an orbit around the Sun.

D

Qinghai-Tibet Railway

Qinghai-Tibet Railway was unfolded to the public on Mondy. From July1, the service will cost a minimum of 389 yuan (hard seat) and take about 48 hours from Beijing to Lhasa. A hard sleeper (bottom berth) ill cost 813 yuan, and a soft sleeper (bottom berth) 1,262 yuan. The fare for an air ticket is about 2,540 yuan. Trains will run to and from Lhasa in three directions: through Beijing, Chengdu/ Chongqing and Xining/ Lanzhou

MOSCOW is this year’s most expensive city for big consumers in the world, a study released by British human resources firm Mercer HR suggests. Seoul was in second place, followed by Tokyo－which topped the list in 2005, when the Russian capital was in fourth position－then Hong Kong and London. The findings were based on prices for 200 goods and services, especially housing, transport, food, clothing and entertainment. In the 144 cities surveyed, Beijing and Shanghai ranked 14th and 20th.

Cutting wages in monopoly industries(垄断行业)

CHINA’S State-owned monopoly industries may be forced to cut their employees’wages as the government looks at reducing the country’s widening income gap, the Economic Observer said on Monday. The report said the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), working with other central government departments, worked out a plan. High salaries in electricity, telecommunications and other monopoly industries have met with strong criticism.

I’m walking on a path in the forest in the Central African Republic. Unexpectedly, I’m face-to-face with the gorilla, who begins screaming at 2 top of her lungs. That makes her baby scream, and then a 400-pound male appears. He screams the 3 (loud) of all. The noise shakes the trees as the male beats his chest and charges toward me. I quickly lower myself, ducking my head to avoid 4 (look) directly into his eyes so he doesn’t feel 5 (challenge). My name is Mireya Mayor. I’m a 6 (science) who studies animals such as apes and monkeys. I was searching 7 these three western lowland gorillas I’d been observing. No one had seen them for hours, and my colleagues and I were worried. When the gorillas and I frightened each other, I was just glad to find 8 (they) alive. True to a gorilla’s unaggressive nature, the huge animal 9 (mean) me no real harm.

While regularly eating out seems to 6 (become) common for many young people in recent years, it’s not without a cost. The obvious one is money; eating out once or twice a week may be 7 (afford) but doing this most days adds up. There could be an even 8 (high) cost on your health. Researchers have found that there is a direct link between the increase in food eaten outside the home and the rise in 9 (weigh) problems.

华美实验学校 高三英语限时训练（六） 第一部分阅读理解（共9小题；每小题2分，满分18分） 第一节: 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs. AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost ￡169.15 at https://www.wendangku.net/doc/6f18913615.html,. A week later, the same room cost ￡118.15. If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you?re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as https://www.wendangku.net/doc/6f18913615.html,, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category. STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday. Don?t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge?s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was ￡95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was ￡75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just ￡62.95. LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city center buildings. A great example is the historic O?Neill Flat on Edinburgh?s Royal Mile, available for ￡420 for five days in late September, with rooms for four adults. GET ON A BIKE London?s …Boris bikes? have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmers that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs. Among the smaller cities with their own programmers are Newcastle (casual members pay around ￡1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or ￡5 per day). 1. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________. A. help travelers pass time B. attract lots of travelers to the UK C. allow travelers to make flexible plans D. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation 2. The passage shows that the O?Neill Flat ________. A. lies on the ground floor B. is located in central London

It was in her class that I traveled to the highest mountains and to the deepest seas from the comfort of the classroom.

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.

His mother had kept on hinting that there would be a big surprise for him during the vacation. Kevin took out his scrapbook (剪贴簿). The exams had just finished, and summer vacation had just started. Now he was free as a bird — free to draw, paint, play basketball, and watch television…anything he wanted to do. Suddenly, the doorbell rang, startling (使惊吓) him. It was his pain of a cousin, Max. “Hi!” screamed Max as he jumped on Kevin’s bed. “I have come to stay here for the holidays.” Kevin had never expected his mother’s surprise to be this bad. If this was the start of his vacation, then the next few weeks were going to be the worst experience of his life. The next few days were horrible for Kevin. After breakfast, Kevin decided to make a painting. Luckily, Max was not around. Kevin spread out all his art supplies and started painting some beautiful scenery. When he was doing the finishing touches, Max entered the room with a Pepsi bottle. He slipped on some water, spilling Pepsi all over the painting and totally ruining it. The next day was even worse. Everything was peaceful until the evening. It all started when Max put the dirty clothes in the washing machine. After some time, Kevin heard some strange sounds from the washing machine. He went to check and found that Max had put his best pair of shoes into the machine, along with the clothes. One day, Kevin was looking through the newspaper when some interesting news caught his attention. He read it aloud: “The world famous philatelist (集邮家) Dick Brown’s stamps were stolen last week from his house. Several other stamp robberies also have taken place, and police suspect that all the robberies are linked.” This piece of news concluded by warning all stamp collectors to keep their stamps safe.

(英语)高二英语阅读理解专题训练答案及解析

（英语）高二英语阅读理解专题训练答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Flying for a long time, you finally arrive at the place where you can relax—your hotel room. Now you throwyour bag on the bed, turn on the TV and watch an international news programme on a satellite channel probably from UK or the USA. The main international broadcasters are BBC World and CNN. With an audience of over 1.5 billion people, these are popular channels that offer good-quality news programmes. In both companies, the journalists are experienced writers that produce journalism of a high standard. However, there are alternative news channels which people watch because they want a less traditional or non-Western view on world events. Russia Today and Al Jazeera International, an Arabic company, are international channels that broadcast in English. Both companies say they give a fresh view on big stories, and their experienced journalists often report from places where Western journalists do not work, and so they give us stories that we don't normally see. The Internet offers more variety. OneWorldTV is an Internet site where you can find stories about the developing world and human rights, rather than the usual stories about US politics and business. The writers for this company are often local people who write the stories for free. This non-professional journalism is increasing, and it certainly offers more choices. This increase in citizen journalism means that you can write the news, too. Main news broadcasters often use photographs and stories that members of the general public send to them, especially when there is a dramatic breaking news story. Besides this, some blogs are popular sources of news, and the website NowPublic lets you write stories using information you can get from anywhere, including sites like Youtube, Flickr and Twitter. （1）The first paragraph is meant to .
