A group of Mississippi hunters who shot and killed an alligator (短吻鳄) weighing 910 pounds on Sunday，were amazed when they discovered that the animal already bore injuries caused by musket (火枪) from the Civil War era.A total of 9 bullets were found，and the various tests and analyses have confirmed that they were indeed fired at the animal in the 19th century.

9 of the wounds on the animal are believed to have been caused by Enfield Pattern 1853 muskets.These old injuries were concentrated around the animal's tail and hind legs，suggesting that the alligator could have possibly been used as a target for shooting practice by Confederate troops.

The huge animal also bore five other bullet wounds from three different calibers of hunting guns，as well as many dents and scars，which shows that it survived many firearm injuries in the past.It did not，however，survive the six 50－caliber bullets fired at him by the group of amateur hunters from Jackson，who were finally able to gun it down.

The bullets were confirmed as true musket ammunitions (弹药) from between 1850 and 1870.This incredible animal brings a whole new view on this large animal native to the southeastern United States.American alligators have been known for years to live well over 50 years and were thought capable of possibly living as long as 70 or 80 years，but this one was estimated to have been 185 years old at the time of its death.

Others like turtles have been known to have lifespans of over 150 years，but it is the first of crocodile of such an old age ever found.It is also one of the biggest alligators ever killed in the United States.The heaviest ever recorded，weighing in at an unbelievable 1，011.5 lbs，was pulled out of a river in Alabama in August of this year.

【语篇解读】一群密西西比州的猎人射杀了一条短吻鳄，发现其身上的伤竟然是美国内战时期留下的。此外，它还是迄今发现的寿命最长的鳄鱼。

Is it possible that the sinking of the Titanic was caused by a ghost? A plot of the story below is true...but did it really happen quite like this?

Our story begins not in the icy cold waters of the North Atlantic，but rather thousands of miles away in Egypt.It is here，perhaps，that we can find the start of the mystery (谜) of the Titanic，in the year 1910，in the great city of Cairo.

One day，a famous professor of Egyptian history called Douglas Murray was staying in Cairo，when he was contacted by an American adventurer.

The American had something unusual to offer Murray，something that was certain to thrill him: a beautiful ancient Egyptian mummy case，containing the mummy of an Egyp－tian queen.It was over 3，000 years old，but in beautiful condition—gold，with bright paintings on it.Murray was delighted with both the object and the asking －price.He gave the man a cheque immediately.

The cheque was never cashed.That evening the American adventurer died.For his part，Murray arranged to have the treasure sent back to Britain.However，it was not long before he learnt more about the beautiful mummy case: On the walls of the tomb in which it had been discovered，there were messages which warned of terrible consequences to anyone who broke into the tomb.Murray was disbelieving of these warnings until a few days later，when a gun he was holding exploded in his hand，shattering his arm.The arm had to be cut off.

After the accident，Murray decided to return to his homeland.On the return journey，two of his companions died mysteriously，and two servants who had handled the mummy also passed away.The now－terrified Murray decided he would get rid of the cursed case as soon as he arrived in London.A lady he knew named Janet Jones said she would like it，so he gave it to her.Shortly afterwards，Jones' mother died，and she herself caught a strange disease.She tried returning the mummy，but naturally Murray refused it.In the end，it was presented to the British Museum.

Even in the museum，the mummy apparently continued to cause strange events.A museum photographer died shortly after taking pictures of the new exhibit，and a manager also died for no apparent reason.In the end，the British Museum decided to get rid of the mummy too.They sold it to a collector in New York.

At the start of April 1912，arrangements for the transfer were complete，and the mummy began the journey to its new home.But the New Yorker never received the mummy or its case.For when the Titanic sank，one of the objects in its strong－room was the mummy case.Or so they say.

A．forgotten B．uncommon

C．expensive D．unlucky

解析：词义猜测题。根据第五段倒数第二句和第六段第二句可知，这个箱子带来连连厄运。由此可推知，这个箱子是受诅咒的，unlucky意为“不幸运的，不吉祥的”，与cursed

解析：事件排序题。通读全文可知，本文的叙述顺序为坟墓的墙上写有警示语，这是在坟墓建成时已有的→默里直到手臂被枪打到才相信诅咒，因此把它卖给了珍妮特·琼斯→其后她得了一种怪病，然后想还回去→木乃伊从珍妮特·琼斯手里辗转到了英国博物馆→一个给这个箱子拍照的博物馆摄影师死了→博物馆又将它卖给了美国人。故选A项。

答案：A

D(导学号59430059)

(2016·洛阳高三二模)“BANG！”the door caused a reverberation (回声)．It was just standing there，with Father standing on one side，and me on the other side.

We were both in great anger.“Never set foot in this house again！” stormed Father.With tears welling up in my eyes，I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.

The street lights were shining，causing rather sad feelings.I wandered aimlessly.

A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me.I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space：happy and carefree.

But now...I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old.We differ in our ways of thinking.We are just like two people coming from two different worlds.It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.

I wandered the streets，without a destination in mind. My_heart_was_frozen_on_this_hot_summer_night.As I walked on，there were fewer and fewer people on the streets，until I had only the street lights to keep me company.When I finally reached the high－rise apartment block in which I lived，I saw that the light was still on.

I thought to myself，“Is Father waiting for me，or is he still angry with me？”

In fact，it was nothing.Perhaps，Dad was throwing away some of his old stamps.Perhaps he thought they were useless.I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.

All the lights were off except Father's.

Dad was always like this.Maybe he didn't know how to express himself.After shouting at me，he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret.

This was how he always was.He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.

The light was still on.“Am I wrong？” I whispered，maybe...With the key in my hand，I was as nervous as I had ever been.At last，I decided to open the door.As soon as I opened the door，tears ran down my cheeks.I suddenly realized that the

iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all.Love—it's second to none.

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).

A．never be angry B．cool it down before you express it C．laugh and laugh when you get angry D．admit you are wrong when you are angry 二

2017年高考英语生态环保类阅读理解.

话题七:生态环保类 (一 The need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the world's supply of water. With 97% of the world's water too salty to be drunk or used in agriculture, the worldwide supply of water needs careful management, especially in agriculture. Although the idea of a water shortage(短缺 seems strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfall country, many of the world's agricultural industries experience constant water shortages. Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons, the costs of water redistribution(重新分配 are very high. Not only is there the cost of the engineering itself, but there is also an environmental cost to be considered. Where valleys(山谷 are flooded to create dams, houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed. Besides, water may flow easily through pipes to fields, but it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other. Each country must therefore rely on the management of its own water to supply its farming requirements. This is particularly troubling for countries with agricultural industries in areas dependent on irrigation (灌溉 . In Texas, farmers' overuse of irrigation water has resulted in a 25% reduction of the water stores. In the Central Valley area of southwestern USA, a huge water engineering project provided water for farming in dry valleys, but much of the water use has been poorly managed. Saudi Arabia's attempts to grow wheat in desert areas have seen the pumping of huge quantities of irrigation water from underground reserves. Because there is no rainfall in these areas, such reserves can only decrease, and it is believed that fifty years of pumping will see them run dry. 1. From the first two paragraphs we learn that________.

小学语文阅读理解专项练习题 1、种辣椒 常识课上，老师对植物的讲解，把我带到植物世界里。听完课，我动了心，决心种点什么，仔细观察它的生长过程。 回到家，我找到了两个花盆，满心欢喜地种下了辣椒籽。下种后，我每天都要给它浇些水，盼望种子早些发芽。一天中午，弟弟告诉我花盆里出小苗了，我飞一样地跑到窗台前，只见一棵小嫩芽拱出土，又过了两天，好几棵小芽出来了。小芽越来越多，我给小辣椒间苗，把太密的小苗小心翼翼地拔掉了一些。 到了盛夏，每株辣椒已有半尺多高了，它们的茎上都缀满了欲放的花苞，几天后，一朵朵雪白的小花，先后开放了。大约又过了四五天，辣椒就开始结果了，出现了青绿的椭圆形的小辣椒，一个个缀在茎上，真惹人喜爱。 秋风吹进窗来，带进一股香气，辣椒开始由青变红，看上去更让人喜爱。一个个两寸多长的小辣椒挂在枝头对我微笑，感谢我对它们的辛勤培育。收获的时节到了，我满怀欣喜地把成熟的辣椒一个一个摘下，竟收了小半筐。 我看着筐里的辣椒，心想：这多有意思呀！知识来源于实践，而实践又必须付出辛勤的劳动，这难道不是真理吗？ 1．找出文章中点明中心的句子，在下面画横线。 2．把文章分成三段，在段尾用“‖”表示，并写出段意。 3．读下面句子，在括号里写出各运用了什么修辞手法。 ①小辣椒挂在枝头对我微笑，感谢我对它们的辛勤培育。（） ②我飞一样地跑到窗台前。（） 2、蒙蒙的小雨 蒙蒙的小雨正落着，陈红骑着自行车悠然于柏油路上。她没有穿雨衣，因为她觉得在这样细雨中骑车很浪漫。她望着路两边来去匆匆的行人，心想：这些人真是的，干嘛要东躲西藏的。 忽然迎面一辆的士飞驰而来她猛地拐向路边但车把挂在树干上她摔倒了小妹妹没事吧一个小伙子站在她身边问道陈红白了他一眼，没有理他。心想：谁是你的小妹妹？她一翻身想站起来，可左腿的剧痛却使她不得不重新坐在地上，她接连两次试图站起来，都没成功。最后，只好放弃了努力。小伙子一笑，“别逞强了，还是送你上医院吧。”接着，拉起陈红的车子，又扶陈红坐到车架上，推起车子向医院走去。温柔如丝的春雨淅淅沥沥地落着。陈红已不再潇洒，只感到沉重。她坐在车上，望着前面推车的小伙子，不知该说些什么。 她发现小伙子走路不太自然，仔细观察，只见小伙子左腿的袜端与裤腿之间不时地露出一段刺目的棕色。那是什么？啊，他装着一只假腿。陈红想问问他的腿，却不愿张嘴。这时，只听到小伙子自言自语地说：“三年前，我也喜欢在细雨中骑车，那的确很潇洒，可是我却重重地跌倒了，像你一样。不，还不如你。”“噢，你的左腿——？”停了一会儿，小伙子说：“就在那次跌倒时被后面的汽车轧断了。”听了这话，陈红陷入了沉思?? 医院到了，小伙子搀着陈红进了急诊室。“我去通知你父母，你知道他们的电话吗？”陈红把号码告诉了他。不一会儿，陈红的父母风风火火地赶来了。见到女儿腿上雪白的绷带，忙问这问那。陈红把经过告诉了他们，又说，“要不是那位大哥哥，我真不知该怎么办好，哎，他呢？”这时，只听护土小姐说：“那个小伙子，看见你爸妈来后，他就离开医院了。”陈红怔住了：“我还不知他叫什么呢！” 父亲背起陈红，母亲在旁边扶着，一家人走出医院的时候，他们多么希望在人流中再次寻到那小伙子的身影。 1．给第二自然段中没有标点的地方加上标点。 2．联系上下文解释加粗词的意思。

The panel is calling for tighter controls on the industry such as requiring teenagers to get the approval from their parents before using tanning beds or limiting the use of artificial tanning to a certain age.“Given the absence of any demonstra ted benefits，I think it is an obligation for us to ban artificial tanning for those under 18，”said panelist Dr.Michael Olding. Along with a possible ban for teenagers，the panel also recommended that visible warning labels should be placed either on the tanning machines or in the salons in order to caution tanners of the possible dangers.In addition，the committee decided that stricter regulations and classifications were critical to make the machines safe r.At this time the machines are categorized as FDA Class 1 devices，the ones that are least likely to cause harm.In case the FDA decided to change their classification from Class 1 to Class 2，as advised by the panel，the FDA could limit the levels of radiation the machines emit.Class 2 devices include X-ray m achines and powered wheelchairs.

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.

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

高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案含解析

高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案含解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Average humans can consume 15 or more drinks in plastic bottles a month. If you were born after 1978, and live until 80 years old, you will leave behind a minimum of 14,400 plastic bottles on this planet. These bottles take hundreds of years to break down into tiny pieces of plastic, never to completely disappear. Most of the waste is consumed by fish and birds, which has shortened their lifetime greatly. The Plastic Bottle Village is just a great idea that might finally save us from being buried in plastic. It's a community in Panama that is going to be made of used bottles. The design process begins with building steel frames, which are then filled with these bottles. Once this step is complete, and electrical and plumbing (管道装置) lines are put inside, the plastic walls are covered by concrete—both inside and outside. So no one will actually be able to tell that the walls are made of plastic. Besides, the material will keep the house 17°C cooler than the outside, which is the biggest benefit to people living inside. The village is the brainchild (主意) of Robert Bezeau with the intention of setting up several environmental projects. Having started a recycling program four years ago, during which a number of plastic bottles were collected, he started to think of how they could be put to use. Soon enough, he decided to use them to build houses, and came up with a basic idea for the construction process. The project hopes to make people conscious of the waste that these bottles create so that they can do more to protect the environment. The village will also create an education center that will teach individuals from the world how to reuse plastic bottles as construction materials for shelter. Recycled bottles could neutralize the negative effect of your passage on this planet, and move closer to leaving only your “footprints”. （1）What does Paragraph 1 intend to tell us? A. The reason for buying fewer drinks. B. The difficult situation of wildlife. C. The amount of plastic waste. D. The seriousness of plastic pollution. （2）What is the biggest benefit to people living in the Plastic Bottle Village? A. The house will be much cooler than normal ones. B. The material of construction will be reduced a lot. C. The newly-made house can save a lot of electricity. D. The waste of the house can be consumed by fish and birds. （3）Which of the following words can best describe Robert? A. Creative. B. Courageous. C. Enthusiastic. D. Sensitive.（4）The main purpose of Robert's projects is to A. provide shelter for locals B. reuse all deserted plastic bottles C. popularize the use of plastic bottles D. raise people's environmental awareness 【答案】（1）D （2）A

高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案及解析

高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 I was born on the 17th of November 1828, in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of the Portuguese Colony (殖民地) of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide. As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs. Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China, came to Macao. Supported by the Ladies' Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a girls' school for Chinese girls, which was soon followed by the opening of a boys' school. Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff's school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school. It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed. Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the country, than to allow me to attend an English school. Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth. I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English. In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world. I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs. Gutzlaff's School. As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were entirely left in the hands of God. （1）How was the author admitted to Mrs. Gutzlaff's school? A. Through his father's friend's help. B. Through his own efforts to exams. C. Through his father's request. D. Through Mrs. Gutzlaff's influence. （2）Why did the author's parents put him into an English school？ A. An English school was more influential. B. Foreign trade with China was developing fast. C. It met with Chinese public opinion. D. He could become a successful interpreter. （3）What did the author think of his parents' decision to put him into an English school? A. It was skeptical. B. It was mysterious. C. It was thoughtful. D. It was wonderful.【答案】（1）A （2）D （3）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，小时候父亲送作者去英语学校而不是中文学校，并分析了具体原因。 （1）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor.
