Bucks County

If ancient shops, covered bridges, and historic B&Bs are your idea of a charming way to spend a summer weekend, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, is perfectly suitable for you. If you’ve got the kids with you, head to Sesame Place in Langhorne or take them to the Delaware River; be sure to have a bite at the River Hot Dog Man for a special lunch at an in-the-water picnic table.

Chicago

Chicago’s our kind of town all year long, but the city really comes into its own in the summer months, when visitors enjoy the city’s finest season. Besides the sweet jazz and blues clubs, more than 7,000 restaurants and world-class museums, the onset (开始) of summer means enjoying Chicago dogs at Wrigley Field, sunning yourself on man-made Oak Street beach, and enjoying concerts in Highland Park during the Ravinia Festival.

Jackson

Lying close to Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park, this Wyoming town’s wild- -west reputation is growing for an international film festival, and a 500-seat performing arts center that opened in March.

B

A fellow speaker from California named Geri flew to Japan, in her favorite jeans and a casual jacket, to give her first speech. Fourteen hours later, four perfectly dressed Japanese gentlemen greeted her

at Narita Airport. Smiling and bowing low, they handed her their business cards. With her bag in one hand, Geri took their cards with the other. She thanked them, glanced briefly at the cards, and put them into her jeans pocket quickly.

When the five of them arrived at the hotel, they invited Geri to tea in the lobby (大厅). While sipping tea, the gentlemen presented her with a small gift which she eagerly opened. She was thrilled with the

gift and shouted excitedly, “Oh, it’s beautiful!”

At this point, the four Japanese gentlemen stood up and, bowing only very slightly, said “Sayonara”and left immediately. Poor Geri was left astonished. What did she do wrong? Everything! Her jeans were the first gaffe. Even if you’re coming off a bicycle in Japan, you do not meet c1ients (客人) casually dressed. The second mistake was Geri’s handling of their business cards rudely. In Japan, the business card is one of the most important communicative tools. It is always presented and accepted respectfully with both hands. However, Geri put their cards away much too quickly. In Japan, people use business cards as a conversation starter. You chat about each other’s cards and work and do not put theirs away until they gently and respectfully place yours in safekeeping. Putting it carelessly into her jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect.

Then, the fourth horror of horrors was that Geri should not have opened the gift in front of her clients. In a land where saving face is critical, it would be embarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice as the one they received. What is worse, Geri hadn’t even given them a gift!

1. In the four Japanese gentlemen’s eyes, Geri took their cards _____________.

A. excitedly

B. embarrassingly

C. politely

D. disrespectfully

2. Why did the four Japanese gentlemen leave Geri suddenly?

A. Because they couldn’t bear Geri’s behavior any longer.

B. Because they had finished the task.

C. Because Geri had something more important to do.

D. Because Geri felt embarrassed.

3. What does the underlined word “gaffe” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. ignorance

B. sadness

C. mistake

D. carelessness

4 The third mistake Geri made was that she _____________.

A. used her own card as a conversation starter

B. took her clients’ cards with one hand

C. kept her clients’ cards in a wrong place

D. met her clients in jeans

5. What lesson can we draw from this story?

A. Honesty is the best policy.

B. Never say never.

C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

D. Don't claim to know what you don't know.

C

I live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year-round sun. You may think people in such a splendid, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.

Many intelligent people still equate（等同）happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience

after an act. It is a deeper, more lasting emotion.

Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.

I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”. But in memoir（回忆录）after memoir, they reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness.

Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage, if he’s honest, and he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment, for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.

Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they can. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.

Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and glamorous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

1. We can learn from the passage that____________.

A. fun creates long-lasting satisfaction

B. happiness is lasting whereas fun is short-lived

C. fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness

D. fun that is long-standing may lead to happiness

2. To the author, the role Hollywood stars will play is to _________.

A. write memoir after memoir about their happiness

B. bring happiness to the public instead of going to parties

C. teach people how to enjoy their lives

D. tell the public that happiness has nothing to do with fun

3. In the author’s opinion, marriage____________.

A. indicates duty and devotion

B. leads to raising children

C. affords greater fun

D. usually ends up in pain

4. Which of the following is the best example of “painful happiness”?

A. Winning lottery by accident.

B. A bachelor resisting marriage.

C. Raising children.

D. Buying some fancy clothes.

5. If one gets the meaning of the true sense of happiness, he will____________.

A. stop playing games and joking with others

B. give a free hand to money

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/da6651762.html,e his time to increase happiness

D. keep himself with his family

America used to have a strong college education system for prison inmates (prisoners). It was seen as a way to rehabilitate men and women in prison by helping them go straight when they got out.

Those taxpayer-supported college classes were put to an end in the 1990s. But New York Governor Andrew Cuomo would like to bring them back in the state, setting off a fierce new debate.

A number of lawmakers in New York have promised to kill Cuomo’s proposal .

Cuomo says reintroducing taxpayer-funded college classes in New York’s prisons is a common-sense plan that will reduce the number of inmates who commit new crimes.

“You pay $ 60,000 for a prison cell for a year,” Cuomo responded. “You put a guy away for 10 years, and that’s $600,000. Right now, chances are almost half. Once he’s set free, he’s going to come right back.”

Cuomo says helping inmates get a college education would cost about $ 5,000 a year per person. He argues, “It’s a small amount of money if it keeps that inmate from bouncing back into prison.”

But even some members of the governor’s own party hate this idea. State Assemblywoman Addie Russell, whose upstate district includes three state prisons, says taxpayers just won’t stand for inmates getting a free college education, while middle-class families struggle to pay for their kids’ college fees.

“That is the vast majority of feedback that I’m also getting from my constituents ，” she says. “You know, ‘Where is the relief for the rest of the population who obey the law ?’”

“I was very disappointed that the policy had been changed,” says Gerald Gaes, who served as an expert on college programs for the Federal Bureau of Prisons in the 1990s. In 1994, President Clinton stopped federal student aid programs for inmates.

Gaes says research shows that college classes actually save taxpayers’ money over time, by reducing the number of inmates who break the law and wind up back in those expensive prison cells.

“It is cost-effective,” he says. “Designing prisons that way will have a long-term benefit for New York State.”

32．The underlined word “rehabilitate” probably means “”.

A．let people know more about prisoners. B．help someone have a normal life again.

C．allow prisoners to experience the world. D．encourage someone to help other people.

33．What is the debate about ?

A．Lawmakers’ rights in New York.

B．College classes for New York’s citizens.

C．Higher education in New York’s prisons.

D．Punishments given to New York’s criminals.

34．Cuomo does the calculations to prove .

A．almost half of prisoners are likely to come back into prison.

B．college classes for inmates can save taxpayers’ money.

C．the costs of running prisons in the US are on the rise.

D．it is very difficult to reduce the number of inmates.

35．Most of Russell’s constituents believe Cuomo’s proposal .

A．is unfair to middle-class families. B．will benefit citizens obeying laws.

C．will be useless for improving prisons. D．is based on most taxpayers’ feedback.

They will make enough so they can enjoy it the whole year! In the backyard, several bags of fresh tomatoes lay on the ground, waiting to be washed, cut and boiled (煮沸) into delicious sauce. Mrs Romano was busy cleaning the huge pots in which the tomatoes would be cooked. Mr Romano was preparing the outdoor stove (火炉) which would be used to heat the pots. Their two daughters, Rosemary and Pina, were washing the tomatoes. After the tomatoes were washed, the girls sat down at the picnic table and began to cut the tomatoes carefully into small pieces. The pieces were then poured into the pots. When they had filled one pot, Mr and Mrs Romano worked together to lift the pot onto the stove. The pot was slowly heated until the tomatoes started to boil. Mrs Romano thought about the day her mother taught her the recipe (食谱). She added the same ingredients (原料) to the tomatoes and stood by the stove, stirring (搅拌) and watching them turn into thick sauce. When the tomato sauce was ready, all four of the Romanos smiled. They knew that their tomato sauce was delicious and ready to be put into glass bottles. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 ( )1. How many people are there in the Romano family? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. ( )2.

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

UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures. Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations. It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture. “Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells Nationa l Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan. “What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.” Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran. Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me, it’s the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on how talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wid er context,” says Moran, “so I want to continue

第15讲考试题型专讲专练四：阅读理解(2)(二)

第五篇 Romeo and Juliet was probably written in 1595, when Shakespeare was a young, successful playwright. He had already written comedies and history plays, but had not yet developed his skill at tragedy. The power of fate is strong in Shakespeare's play. Chance and evil eventually join to bring tragedy. Chance involves Romeo in a murder; chance prevents a message from reaching Romeo in time; chance brings about a deadly meeting in a cemetery. Many Elizabethans were followers of astrology (星相术) and believed that the stars could control events. Thus, Romeo and Juliet are referred to as "star-crossed lovers" whose stars doomed (命中注定) them to disaster. Elizabethans also had a concept of fate in the person of Dame Fortune (命运女神). By spinning her wheel, she could raise the state of a beggar or lower that of a king. One of the fascinations of Shakespeare is the way in which he put these ideas into the play. One of the most difficult things to decide about this play is the question of responsibility. Did irresistible fate bring tragedy to Romeo and Juliet, or were they themselves to blame? The fact that this question is not resolved by the author also helps to make Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet a fascinating work. 6. According to the passage, chance . A. involves Juliet in a murder B. sends Romeo and Juliet into evil-doing C. causes late arrival of a message for Romeo D. leads to a happy meeting between Romeo and Juliet 答案：C 解析：问题几乎没有提供解题线索，只能分解为四个判断正误题，在文章里找依据句，用排除法进行排除。 第六篇 This is not a diet (减肥食谱) or a hard ~exercise program.

Unit2_阅读理解专练

Unit2 阅读理解专练 Have you ever heard someone use the phrase “once in a blue moon”? People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might say that he tries to avoid (避免) eating sweets because they are unhealthy，but will eat chocolate “ once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the shore once in a blue moon”. While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the meaning behind it. The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue. This is just an expression. In fact, the phrase “blue moon” has to do with the shape of the moon, not the color. As the moon travels around the earth, it appears to change shape. We associate (联系) certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon, it is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip (尖端) of a fingernail (指甲) When we cannot see the moon at all, it is called a new moon. When we can see the whole moon, it is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes, however, there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second full moon is called a “blue moon”. Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see, a blue moon is a very rare event. This fact has led people to use the expression “once in a blue moon” to describe other very rare events in their lives. 1. Which of the following would be a good example of using the phrase “once in a blue moon”? A. Simon often tells jokes. Simon tells jokes once in a blue moon. B. Tom rarely remembers to do exercise. Tom does exercise once in a blue moon. C. Mary likes to go shopping every weekend. Mary goes shopping once in a blue moon. D. Cindy hates to stay up, but she stays up every day.
