Passage 2

Coca-Cola is the best-selling soft drink in the world. 165 million "Cokes" are sold every day, from the equator to the Arctic. But whereas outside the USA Coke tends to be a young person's drink, inside the USA anybody of any age, of any income can drink it without embarrassment on any occasion. Coke is not the only " cola" drink. Pepsi Cola is a well-known rival and has its devotees, for it is not as sweet as Coke. Cola drinks contain caffeine from the kola nut and are the only soft drinks which are stimulating as well as refreshing. There are excellent wines produced in California which are praised by European connoisseurs(行家), but some Americans consume a lot of alcohol in the form of cocktails-mixture based on spirits like whisky, gin and vodka. Hamburgers and hot dogs are perhaps the best-known American food. Hot dogs --- sausages (香肠)between bread rolls —— can be bought in smack bars and from hot dog stands on streets corner. And from San Francisco to New York, in cheap or medium-priced restaurants, hamburgers will be on all the menus, in company with steaks, fried chicken and seafood. They come with French fries and crisp green salad, and for dessert you will be offered apple pie, cheese cake, chocolate layer cake, ice-creams and ice-cream sundaes(圣代). No ice cream in the world is more delicious than American ice cream.

Passage 3

In the old day, children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. This is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters who have never been close by during the birth of a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member. Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we transfer them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit terminally ill patients-even when those patients are their parents. This deprives（剥夺）the dying patient of significant family members during the last few days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience. Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed approximately 500 terminally ill patients in order to find out what they could teach us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well. We are most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential outcome. It is important for family members, and doctors and nurses to understand these patients' communications in order to truly understand their needs, fears, and fantasies（幻想）. Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their tremendous need to be informed, to be kept up-to-date on their medical condition and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to cope with the approach of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance prior to death.

1.The elders of contemporary Americans ___________.

(A)were often absent when a family member was born or dying

(B)were quite unfamiliar with birth and death

(C)usually witnessed the birth or death of a family member

(D)had often experienced the fear of death as part of life

2.Children in America today are denied the chance __________

(A) to learn how to face death (B) to visit dying patients

3. Five hundred critically ill patients were investigated with the main purpose of _________.

(A) observing how they reacted to the crisis of death

(B) helping them and their families overcome the fear of death

(D) learning how to best help them and their families

4. The need of a dying patient for company shows ____________.

(A) his desire for communication with other people

(B) his fear of approaching death

(D) his reluctance to part with his family

5. It may be concluded from the passage that __________.

(A) dying patients are afraid of being told of the approach of death

(B) most doctors and nurses understand what dying patients need

(D) most patients are unable to accept death until it is obviously inevitable

Passage 4

Thanksgiving and American Family

“Please pass the turkey and dressing.” What does this simple request make you think about？ If you are an American， you think about Thanksgiving. A turkey dinner symbolizes Thanksgiving for Americans. What does Thanksgiving remind Americans of？Th eir families. Thanksgiving is a family time. What does “family” mean to Americans？

The traditional American family is a “nuclear family.” The average American family today has two or three children (and maybe a few pets). In some cultures， people live close to their extended family. Several generations may even live together. In America，only in a few cases does more than one household live under one roof.

American values receive a warm welcome in the home. Many homes are run like democracies. Each family member can have a say. A sense of equality often exists in American homes. Husbands and wives often share household chores. Instead of fearing Mom and Dad， children may think of them as good friends. Young adults generally make their own choices about what career to pursue and whom to marry. Even though social pressures are breaking apart more and more American homes， there is still reason for hope. Almost all Americans believe that the family is one of the most important parts of life. The vast majority also feel that the traditional two parent family is best for children. They realize that problems in family life in recent years have brought about serious

consequences. As a result， more and more people are making their family a priority. Many women are quitting their jobs to stay home with their children. Families are going on vacations and outings together. Husbands and wives are making a concentrated effort to keep their marriages solid.

How do you strengthen the family bond？ Do special things for each other. Talk to each other. Play together. Oh， and one more thing: be thankful for each other. If you have a family， every day should be Thanksgiving.

1.___________remind Americans of their families.

(A) A pril Fool’s Day (B) Fathe r’s Day (C) Thankgiving (D) Independent Day

2. The average American family today ___________.

(A) lives with its extended family

(B) has two or three children

(D) only has some pets

3. In American homes, there exists a sense of equality, for example, _____________.

(A) mothers always do the household chores

(B) children may fear their parents

(D) fathers are traditionally the breadwinners of the families

4. Almost all Americans believe _____________.

(A) the traditional two-parent family is best for children

(B) problems in family life in recent years have brought about serious consequences

(D) the family is one of the most important parts of life

5. In order to strengthen the family bond, you should NOT ____________.

(A) forget to thank each other

(B) play together

(D) talk to each other

Passage 5

Some people say that human beings are the only animals that have language. Is this true? It is a very difficult question to answer. A person must have a good definition of “language”. Different kinds of animals must be studied. Some animals certainly seem to have a communication system. That system may or may not be a language. For example,

the bee has ways of telling other bees about food. The dolphin has ways of giving information to other dolphins. The monkey can use a human language system. Does this mean animals have lan guage? The answer to this question depends on how “language” is defined. We may define language as any system for exchanging information. If this definition is used, then bees, dolphins, and monkeys all have a language. But language may be defined in another way. We may define language as a system for exchanging information by making new combinations of symbols. If this definition is used, then bees and dolphins do not have a language, but monkeys may have one. Monkeys are clearly able to combine symbols in a human language that they have been taught. This is not their usual language, however.

1．What do some animals seem to have according to the passage?

(A) a language (B) a communication system

2．What animals can use a human language system?

(A) m onkeys (B) dolphins (C) bees (D) monkeys and dolphins

3．According to the passage,what are monkeys able to do?

(A) To learn a human language

(B) To exchange information

(D) To give information to human beings

4．Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?

(A) A person must have a good definition of “language”.

(B) Different kinds of animals must be studied.

(D) The dolphin has three kinds of calls to tell other dolphins about food.

5．What does this passage tell us?

(A) Animals have language like that of humans if we have a good definition

(B) Monkeys are clever enough to learn human language.

(D) Whether some animals have their own languages depends on how we define language.

Passage 6

What is high tech?

A computer is high tech .So is a communication satellite. A modern manufacturing

system is surely high tech. The opposite of high tech is low tech. As you might imagine, low tech describes technology that is traditional, simple and easy to operate. A wooden plow pulled by oxen is low tech. So is a hand pump. High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early 1980s.Because of the improvements in technology people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, products like small powerful home computers, low cost microwave ovens for cooking food quickly, modern music systems that use a digital electronic system for recording sounds. The companies that make these products were proud of their goods. They wanted everyone to know that their products were as modern as possible. So in all kinds of advertising, companies described

their products as high tech. Soon everyone knew the expression.

Passage 7

As our knowledge of health and fitness increases, people are becoming more and more interested in not only taking care of themselves physically, but mentally and spiritually as well. As a result, many are turning to more complete approaches to health, including less mainstream fitness methods such as yoga. Yoga's origins lie in Hindu philosophy, which was developed thousands of years ago in India.Today, yoga is a system of movements and meditation that emphasizes physical control and discipline as a way to achieve a state of spiritual knowledge. Yoga’s ideal state of knowledge is reached after a person has gone through eight different stages. These include aspects of self-control, religion, postures, regulation of breath, restraint of senses, steadying of the mind, meditation, and profound thought. For a practitioner of yoga, the progression through these stages is a movement from the physical toward a perfect mental state. There are eight major schools of yoga, each varying in its area of emphasis. The type of yoga that is taught in the West is mainly a combination of exercise and meditation called Hatha Yoga.Hatha Yoga is said to have a number of positive effects, such as reducing weight, strengthening muscles and nerves, cleaning out the body, and generally improving health and prolonging life. Recent decades have seen yoga gain widespread acceptance as a method of staying in shape, as well as a way of handling stress. Pop singer Madonna and supermodel Christy Turlington are just two of the many celebrities known to be strong advocates of yoga. At present, there is a lot of speculation and uncertainty about yoga and its effects. One thing, however, is certain: In our modern world of fast-paced lifestyles, taking time out to meditate and do some relaxing exercise cannot be a bad thing!

Passage 8

The world is full of variety. Trees, grasses and leafy plants cover the earth. Above, the sun shines on the earth as it turns in the ever-changing sky. This is the familiar world that we see around us every day. It is the world that story-tellers and poets write about. This world is also the world of chemistry. In this world, one form of matter changes endlessly into another. We cannot always see it happening with the naked eye. Yet it is something which is taking place all the time. The millions of forms, alive or not, are all made up of about one hundred basic chemical elements. The same elements are found everywhere. Only the combination and the quantities differ. This may seem astonishing, but it is true..It is true not only of the earth but also of the whole universe.

Passage 9

Research shows that the average high school student will study four hours per week for any major test. The outcome of this four hours of study varies from an A to an F, which means in high school grades are strongly determined by intelligence since every one studies the same amount of time. But college is different. Most of the students are highly intelligent and each has plenty of time for self study. To score high on any test, a college student has to work hard and, probably more importantly, know how to use his or her time most efficiently. The problem is that your study habits formed in high school may make you unable to study well in college because you have never experienced what it takes to perform at the college level. That is why the freshman year is the hardest year for all college students. Based on my extensive observation of student performance on college tests., I recommended the following study time per test: 6 hours per week for an A,4 hours for a B, 3.5 hours for C, 2.5 hours for a D and 0 hours for a F. An hour of study is defined as studying for 45 minutes and break of 15 minutes. Ten hours of continuous study without a break is defined as one hour of study. The brain does not process and store information the way students prefer studying. Occasionally, some succeed by studying at the last minute, but they are exceptions to the rule. Research also suggests that the slowest 10 percent of the students may need 5 to 6 times as much time to learn the same material as the fastest 10 percent. Each person is very likely to have strengths and weaknesses. Overcoming your weakness increases your strength.

1．According to the writer, the reason why high school students get different test results is that .

(A) some students work hard than the rest of them

(B) some students have good study habits while others do not

(D) their teachers teach them in different ways

2．The freshman year is considered the hardest for all college students because_____.

(A) they have to take the same course at the same time

(B) they are too anxious to score high on all tests

(D) they worried among so many intelligent

3．In order to study efficiently, the writer suggests that one should .

(A) study 6 hours and then take a good test

(B) set aside 1/4 of the studying time for break

(D) spend 10% of his time on the most difficult subjects

4．What takes the fastest students to learn in one hour take the slowest students ___.

(A) 2 hours (B) 3 hours (C) 4 hours (D) 5 hours

5．From the way this passage is written, it can be concluded that the writer is most probably .

(A) a high school student (B) a college student

Passage 10

There are many forms of energy. Some of these forms are heat energy, light energy, electrical energy and chemical energy. Any form of energy can be changed into another form. Besides, there is a huge quantity of energy in the atoms of chemical elements. This is called atomic energy. Atomic energy has been used and will be widely used in the future. The greatest source of energy is the sun. Each day the sun sends a lot of energy onto the earth in the form of heat rays and light rays. But to use solar energy in large amounts is a great problem. Sunlight is not steady. Clouds and night cut off the source. Therefore people must find ways to store up solar energy. Different kinds of devices have been developed. The solar-energy collector is one of them, and the solar battery is another. In the future solar energy may take the place of some power sources.

1．What is this passage about?

(A) A toms (B) Sunlight (C) Power sources (D) Energy

2．According to the passage, what energy will be widely used in the future?

(A) H eat energy (B) Light energy (C) Atomic energy (D) Chemical energy

5．What form of energy is not mentioned in the passage?

(A) h eat energy (B) e lectrical energy (C) solar energy (D) mechanical energy

Passage 11

The first bridge that was built by man was probably a natural bridge. Men no doubt used a tree trunk that had fallen across a stream. Later, man built his own bridges. We know that bridge building began very early in history. The Chinese and Greeks built bridges thousands of years ago. But the greatest bridge builders of ancient times were the Romans. No wooden bridges built by them are still standing. But a number of their stone bridges have been preserved. Some very fine bridges were also built in twelfth century Europe. The first iron bridge was built in 1799 in England. The most modern type of bridge is steel bridge. The Bayonne Bridge, stretching from Bayonne, New Jersey, to Staten Island, New York, is one of the largest steel arch bridges. It was built in 1931.

Passage 12

It was not yet eleven o'clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger who had obtained his transportation at that unusual hour by promising an extra fare. While the youth stood on the landing-place searching in his pocket for money, the ferry man lifted a lantern, by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey of the stranger’s figure. He was a yo ung man of barely 18 years old, evidently the country breed, and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to the town. He was wearing a tough gray coat, which was in good shape, but which had seen many winters before this one. The garments under his coat were well constructed of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of muscular legs; his stockings of blue yarn must have been the work

of a mother or sister, and his head was a three-cornered hat, which in its better days had perhaps sheltered the grayer head of the lad’s father. In his left hand was a walking stick, and his equipment was completed by a leather bag not so abundantly stocked as to inconvenience the strong shoulders on which it hung. Brown, curly hair, well-shaped features, bright, cheerful eyes wer e nature’s gifts, and worth all that art could have done for his adornment. The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day. As he walked, he surveyed his surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid, instead of the little metropolis of a New England colony.

1．The story took place in ______.

(A) w inter (B) fall (C) summer (D) spring

2．The boatman was willing to take the young man across the river because _____.

(A)he felt sorry for him because the young man looked poor

5．How did Robin appear as he walked into the town?

(A) H e was tired. (B) He was cheerful and excited

Passage 1 There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students do badly in a traditional classroom. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules. For students who worry about these things a lot, it is a good idea to be in an open classroom. But many students will not do well in an open classroom. For some students, there are too few rules. These students will do little in school. They will not make good use of open education. Because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem getting used to making so many choices. For many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom. They worry about the rules even when there are no rules. Even a few rules will help this kind of student. The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. Many teachers do not believe in open education. Teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their schools. You now know what open education is. Some of its good points and bad points have been explained. You may have your own opinion about open education. The writer thinks that open education is a good idea, but only in theory. In actual fact, it may not work very well in a real class or school.

高二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 The noise of chattering mouths subsided（平息） as the teacher entered classroom. “ Good morning class. I am Riffat Monaf, and I will be your geography teacher. Riffat” Monaf, an interesting name and an even more interesting person. Her introduction took place about six years ago, and since then I have never met a more influential person in my life. Mrs Monaf not only conquered me with her vast knowledge of geography, but also won me over with her smile and warm eyes. It was in her class that I traveled to the highest mountains and to the deepest seas from the comfort of the classroom. I learned about the vast oceans, the erupting volcanoes, the snow-capped mountains and the green valleys. She would often relate her adventures about traveling to different parts of the world. 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. Mrs Monaf still talks enthusiastically about geography, and I know that I can never see what a truly great person she has been in my life. . （1） What can we learn from the second paragraph? A.

He told me about the stroke he’d had only a year earlier. He, too, had been paralyzed on his left side. But, beyond telling me what he had lost, Jackson shared what I would 47 . “Do not give up on yourself. All the hard work is worth it.” he wrote. And the advice kept on coming. He told me to 48 the therapy on the hospital’s “grown-up” floor, where “they make you work hard and you get lots of things back fast.” Here I was, a grown man and a senator(参议员) of Illinois, getting 49 from a young boy I had 50 met. After a few weeks of writing letters to each other, I arranged for us to meet. He seemed 51 at first, but the embarrassing situation quickly melted away. Jackson showed me how he could run, and I immediately felt encouraged. One thing I particularly 52 was the energy and dignity radiating from him.

大学英语B阅读理解练习题及答案

Passage 1 Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening. One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own. Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the countr y. If one likes garden, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature. Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. 1. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city. B. All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country. C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London. D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside. 2. With the same money needed for ________, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country. A. getting a small flat with a garden B. having a small flat with a garden C. renting a small flat without a garden D. buying a small flat without a garden 3. When the garden is in blossom, the one ________ has been rewarded. A. living in the country B. having spent time working in the garden. C. having a garden of his own. D. having been digging, planting and watering 4. People who think happiness lies in the city life would feel that ________ if they had to live outside London. A. their life was meaningless B. their life was invaluable C. they didn’t deserve a happy life D. they were not worthy of their happy life 5. The underlined phrase “get away from” in the 3rd paragraph refers to ________. A. deal with B. do away with C. escape from D. prevent from 很多在伦敦工作的人喜欢住在伦敦郊外，然后每天乘火车、汽车和公交车去上班或上学。这也就意味着他们不得不早出晚归。

It was a Sunday morning, and I was in a 1 mood(情绪).Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn't invited me. I was in my room 2 ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a rid today, Beck? It's a beautiful day.” “No! Leave me alone!” Those were 3 words I said to him that morning. My friends called and 4 me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be 5 with them and then went with them. When I came home, I found a 6 on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an 7 .Please meet us at Highland Park Hosp ital.” When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me a car hit my father and his injuries were extensive(大面积的). “Your father told the driver to leave8 alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, ...” My mother may have said but I didn't hear. I didn't hear anything 9 those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them in order to 10 himself. He didn't want to be hurt more. How much had I hurt him 11 I shouted out those words at him earlier in the day? It was several days later that he was 12 able to have a talk. I held his hand gently，afraid of hurting him. "Daddy...I am so sorry...” “It's okay，sweetheart. I'll be okay.” “No，”I said，"I mean about 13 I said to you that day. You know, that morning?" He looked at me and said, “Sweetheart, I remember14 about that day, not before, during or after the accident. I remember telling you goodnight the night before, though.” He managed a weak smile.

高中英语阅读理解专项练习二(含答案)

A “You can use me as a last resort（选择）, and if nobody else volunteers，then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids lacrosse（长曲棍球）club. I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on … At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,“Alright. Yes, I’ll do it.” I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal. Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community（社区）as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services
