My husband and I only have one car. So after work I always walk to his office and wait for him to drive me home.

One day, while I was waiting for him, a beautiful Cadillac 31 near me. I was busily admiring the car when I 32 the driver. Honestly, she was probably the 33 woman I had ever seen outside of a movie screen. Her eyes were as blue as the sea, and she had 34 like an even row of pearls. Minutes later, a man came out of the building and walked over to her. They kissed and drove off.

Sitting there, 35 in jeans and a T-shirt, I wanted to cry. It is so 36 that some people have it all.

The next week I saw her again, and after that it became almost 37 to see her. I would 38 if she and her husband ate out a lot and where they went. I wanted her to 39 the car so I could see her in full length. Did she 40 classy, high-heeled shoes?

A few weeks later this question was 41 for me.

I was waiting in my usual spot and the lady’s husband came over to their car. He open ed the door. 42 the pretty woman walked around to the passenger side--- 43 on a walking cane. She 44 one leg with her hands and then the other one; she had a prosthetic(假肢) on her left leg and a brace(支架)on her right one.

As they drove away I began to cry. When my husband arrived I told him about what had

45 . He said he knew her husband and that, when the lady was 12 years old, she had been 46 in

a car that got stuck on the railroad tracks. Both her parents were killed. The rail company made a large 47 with her because the crossing had no 48 ; that is why she owned such a nice car.

For weeks I had 49 this woman and her way of life. Now I realize how lucky I am. When you meet a person who seems to be much better off than you, don’t be 50 by appearances.

At first, Rhonda Tormaschy thought her 16-year-old daughter, Cassidy, was joking about opening up an ice cream truck. “We were sitting around one night with her and one of her friends and this is what she approached us with and we kind of thought she wasn’t serious at first,” Rhonda said.

But last fall her husband, Chad, started looking for some type of truck, and they found an old school bus in Lincoln, Oregon.

The family spent the winter fixing the bus, painting it and transforming it into Ice Cream Express. In order to turn the small, old school bus into an ice cream truck, the family put in a freezer, fridge and sink.

“Getting it together was kind of an experience for all of us,” Rhonda said. “We had to go through the health inspector, we had to get signatures from the police department and the fire department.”

“The community needed something to lighten up their day and make their day better,” Cassidy said. “I thought that this would be a good way to help everybody through their day.”

She visits local businesses at a set time every Thursday and plans to hit up neighborhoods and parks in the evening, as well as serving ice cream at other summer events.

Ice Cream Express serves Schwan’s products. “It’s quite a variety,” Cassidy said. “We have everything from the sundae cones to the sandwiches and Italian ice --- just about anything.”

Now that the truck is up and running, Cassidy hopes her younger sisters will take it over when she leaves for college.

“We have a daughter that’s going to be 13 here and that would be a perfect time for her to take it over in the next couple of years-if she wants to,” Rhonda said. “If she doesn’t want to, I think I would probably continue it if it’s still a want and a need in Dickinson.”

So far, the reception to Ice Cream Express has been amazing, Rhonda said.

“We haven’t had an ice cream bus in this town for years,” Rhonda said. “I think it’s gone over way better than we anticipated it to, which is great.”

In the hills outside Missoula, Montana, wildlife biologists are looking at how climate change affects something very small: the snowshoe hare.

Life for snowshoe hares is pretty stressful-almost everything in the forest wants to eat them.

Alex Kumar, a graduate student at the University of Montana, lists the animals that are hungry for hares. “Lynx(山猫), foxes, coyotes(土狼), even red squirrels(松鼠).”

Kumar and field technician Tucker Seitz spend months searching these woods for hares, often listening for signals from hares they’ve already put radio collars(项圈) on.

They catch other hares with wire traps(陷阱) about the size of a breadbox, with some apples as bait(诱饵). Most of the hares they track live less than a year—a hazard(风险) of being what Kumar calls “the cheeseburger of the ecosystem.”

But snowshoe hares have a special skill: camouflage. They’re brown during the summer, but turn white for the snowy winter months.

“There’re times when you’re tracking them and you know they’re really, really close, and you just can’t find them,” he says.

Hares switch color in the spring and fall in response to light, when the days get longer or shorter. But if the snow comes late, you get a white hare on brown ground.

“And they really think that they’re camouflaged,”Kumar says. “They act like we can’t see them.”

Kumar calls this “mismatching”, and it’s becoming more of a concern with climate change.

“If the hares are consistently molting(脱毛)at the same time, year after year, and the snowfall comes later and melts earlier, there’s going to be more and more times when hares are mismatched,” he says.

Scott Mills of North Carolina State University leads t he research. He says they’re finding that mismatched hares die at higher rates. That’s a concern for the threatened Canada lynx, which mainly eats these hares.

“It’s a very clear connection to a single climate change stressor,” Mills says.

Hares might be a ble to adapt over time. Some snowshoe hares in Washington State don’t turn white at all. Mills is trying to figure out whether hares and other wildlife can adapt as fast as the climate is changing.

“But how fast is too fast?” he asks.

5. Alex Kumar and his classmates catch snowshoe hares in order to find out .

A. the hares’ natural enemies

B. the influence of climate change on the hares’ lives

C. why the hares change fur colors regularly

D. how the ecosystem in the woods works

6. The word “camouflage” (Paragraph 6) is closest in meaning to .

A. hiding

B. escaping

C. fighting

D. scaring

7. According to the passage, snowshoe hares can now be easily discovered by their enemies

because they .

A. change their fur color to white too late

B. haven’t adapted to climate change

C. can no longer adapt to the change of light in spring and fall

D. find it more and more difficult to molt at the same time each year

8. Which best describes Mills’ tone in the passage?

A. Approving.

B. Concerned.

C. Enthusiastic.

D. Doubtful.

Only after the straight-talking repairman handed me the bill and waved goodbye did I finally acknowledge the painful truth: Our 20-year-old clothes dryer was not going to last.

I turned to my husband. “He says we’re throwing good money after bad,” I sighed. “I think he’s right.”

“When do you want to go shopping for a new one?” my husband asked.

I glanced out the window, appreciating the sunlight dancing on the big-leaf maples in our backyard. Perfect drying weather. Suddenly, I recalled my mother hanging laundry on a clothesline during my childhood. My sister and I had played hide-and-seek among the sweet-smelling sheets waving in the wind.

I suddenly had a plan. After the wash cycle, we covered the maples with damp blue jeans, shirts, socks and towels. The only things that didn’t go outside were my underpants. And I persuaded my shameless husband to let his big boxer shorts stay indoors, too.

There is a secret pleasure to hanging laundry outdoors. It is the perfect excuse to get up from the computer. While checking on the laundry in the backyard, I could commune(亲近) not only with cotton T-shirts, but also my cats. I could watch cautious deer run through the yard with their young, listen to nervous squirrels in trees and observe a family of wild turkeys by the road. I returned to my desk refreshed.

And, except for the sandpaper feel of sun-dried bath towels, the drying method was a complete success. When autumn came, I’d scan the horizon each day to evaluate the chances of sun-drying. One morning I saw rain clouds. I had a load of wet clothes in my arms and no place to put them.

I found my husband. Together we hung laundry throughout the house.

Then my husband gave me a hug and a smile. “I think it’s time to buy a dryer…” he said,“… like, today.”

“Good idea,” I said, just as the infamous Oregon rain started.

Our sun-dried laundry habit was finished for the season.

9. Why did the author want to try sun-drying?

a. Her husband insisted.

b. She wanted to cut expenses.

c. Their dryer wasn’t working.

d. She had good childhood memories of using a clotheslin

e.

A. b c

B. c d

C. a c d

D. b c d

10. What could the straight-talking repairman have said to the author?

A. “Continue to use it even if it is old.”

B. “You should have taken better care of your dryer.”

C. “You shouldn’t have wasted money on repairing your dryer.”

D. “Just buy a new dryer even if it’s very expensive.”

11. What was the biggest benefit that sun-drying brought to the author besides dry clothes?

A. She loves sun-dried bath towels.

B. She felt healthier and closer to nature.

C. She could bathe in the sunshine, too.

D. It gave her a break from her hard work.

12. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?

A. The author has stopped sun-drying since autumn started.

B. The author later became fed up with the trouble of hanging up her clothes.

C. The author listened to weather reports every day when autumn came.

D. The author realized sun-drying was seasonal and thus had its disadvantages.

高考英语阅读理解训练50篇

阅读理解训练50篇（1） 1 Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell.But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hor- mones (荷尔蒙).They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etC．In general the person feels excited and ready to act. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.” Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger. 1．“Damaging emotion” means t hat _________. A．the emotion is harmless B．the emotion is harmful C．the feeling is very strong D．the feeling is hard 2．What statement is right? A．Were you angry, you would be cancered (得癌症).

高考英语阅读理解限时训练题及答案

2014高考英语阅读理解限时训练题及答案（10） 【深圳市2014高考英语综合能力测试题（7）】A Actually, long-distance bicycle camping is one of the most pleasurable activities I have ever experienced. I generally sleep poorly at night, but in the woods on a tour, I sleep like a baby, falling asleep with the music of insects. In the morning, I am awakened by the cheeps of birds. I eat a snack before getting up, and then I quickly pack my sleeping bag, air mattress (垫), tent, and other things and get on with my road. I'm slower in the morning, having less speed but a greater desire to stop at pleasant spots and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Traveling by bike allows me to stop anywhere, such as grasslands, lakes, woods, and scenic spots. Near lunch, I find a small grocery and buy some bread, sandwiches and fruit. Then I will find a town park or other shady spots to wait out the high mid-day sun. In the afternoon, my speeds are higher, and I spend less time on stops. In the late afternoon, I start riding more slowly, and I start thinking about where I will stop. I finally find a place in the early evening, cook a simple meal and have a rest. As it starts to get dark, I put up my tent, crawl in and fall asleep. There are exciting times and difficult times as well. Visiting strange or famous places and accomplishing goals are always exciting to me. I meet and talk with interesting people along the way, sometimes other traveling cyclists. Appreciating beautiful views, meeting wild animals, and traveling up and down hills also stir me up. On the other hand, I may run into a rainy or hot spell(一段时间), have to repair my bike, or just find myself in a bad mood. The problems are infrequent and are easy to deal with. The pleasures remain in my mind for years. 26. We can learn from the passage that the author can have a good sleep ______. A. in a hotel B. at home C. in the shade D. in the woods 27. In the first paragraph, the author tells us that ________. A. how he sleeps during his travel B. the route of his bicycle travel C. why he rides slowly all the time

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.

2019高考语文阅读理解训练题：植物的花香

2019高考语文阅读理解训练题：植物的花香 阅读下面的短文，完成12—17题。 (1)植物的花香有着很多作用。 (2)植物的花有香味是为了传宗接代。植物花朵为了引诱昆虫前来 授粉，不但表现各种艳丽夺目的色彩，还会散发各种迷人的花香。于 是引来蜂蝶竞相采蜜，正所谓“蜂争粉蕊蝶分香”。结果，花粉黏附 在昆虫的身上，随着昆虫的飞行迁移而四处落户安家了。 (3)香花内部有一个专门制造香味的“工厂”——油细胞，这个 “工厂”里的产品就是令人心醉的芳香油。这种芳香油除了散发香味，吸引昆虫传粉外，它的蒸气还能够减少花瓣中水分的蒸发，形成一层“保护衣”，使植物免受白天的强烈日晒和夜晚的寒气侵袭。 (4)植物的花的香味除了有益于自身的生长繁衍，绝大部分还有益 于人类。香气能刺激人的呼吸中枢，从而促动人体吸进氧气，排出二 氧化碳。因为大脑供氧充足，所以能使人保持较长时间旺盛的精力。 此外，香味信息能够深刻地留在人的记忆中，刺激嗅觉，使人的记忆 增强。 (5)利用花香来保健和防病，在我国有着悠久的历史。古代医圣华佗，曾用丁香等制成小巧玲珑的香囊，悬挂在室内，用以防治肺结核、吐泻等疾病。古代民间把金银花放入枕内，用来去头痛，降血压，同 时还有消炎止咳的作用。 (6)不同的花香，能引起人们的不同感受。如桂花的香味使人疲 劳顿消；菊花的香味使人思维清晰。不过，事情都是一分为二的。有 些花香也会给人带来副作用。如百合、兰花的浓香，会引起眩晕和瞬 时的迟钝。 12．给加点字注音。 繁衍瞬时

13．本文的说明内容是。 14．第(4)段说花香“有益于人类”是从哪两个方面说的？(每方面六个字以内) 答：① ② 15．第(4)段画线的句子在文中起的作用是。 16．植物的花香“绝大部分还有益于人类”中的“绝大部分”为什么不能删掉？ 答： 17．第(5)段中列举了两个例子，目的是为了说明

They both grew up in very large families and lived through the Great Depression. Saving for a rainy day and avoiding superfluous consuming was their life philosophy. Rather than seeking fulfillment through material items, they chose to spend really simple life together, with family and in nature. Over the years my grandparents noticed dramatic changes in their community. Every year more farmland was destroyed to build larger and larger homes. As real estate prices rose, many of their neighbors sold their little homes and land. Soon theirs were the only small house on the block, surrounded by a sea of mansions. My grandparents built and lived m a small 600-square-foot cottage for most of their adult lives. Lots of family members encouraged my grandparents to expand their little old house. But they didn’t want a bigger place. They l oved their little house and were content with what they had. My grandparents avoided consumptive(浪费的）lifestyle by painting and repairing the house themselves. They lived in a small home, but had a huge garden. They loved gardening and planting because it reduced their grocery bill, improved their health, and gave them an excuse to be outside. They also reused and recycled everything. For instance, they had driven the same car for over 15 years and didn’t buy a new one until the old Chevrolet was worn out. Through their example I learned an important lesson: It is possible to live a simple and fulfillin g life. My grandparents taught me that living a simple life isn’t about self-deprivation. Instead, it’s about giving yourself the time, freedom, and money to pursue your dreams. Becoming debt free, downsizing to a smaller home, and going car-lite(减少用车频率）are a few ways to take control of your life and start pursuing your dreams. 26.The underlined word superfluous in Paragraph I is closest in meaning to _____.
