英语阅读理解练习题2

Society usually tends to focus on the negative side of inner-city schools. Many people like to stereotype (模式化) these schools which, while these general statements may be true in some cases, tend to be worse most of the time. People think that the students of these schools receive inferior educations. My school, an inner-city school named St. Ignatius, is regarded as one of the best in the state. People also believe that violence occurs on a daily basis, both in the school itself and in the nearby city. I cannot even remember a serious fight at St. Ignatius. People who think that the teachers at inner-city schools lack love for their job worsen this typical stereotype even further. My teachers not only had a love for teaching, but they were also able to cultivate a love for learning in their students.

Take Mrs. Borroni, my Spanish teacher, for example. She would often take time out of her class to tell her students about the numerous activities after class with which we should get involved. She loved her job so much that she stayed after school every day to moderate activities such as "Amnesty International" (an international organization that protects human rights) and the Spanish Club. Her students, including me, joined all of the clubs which she moderated just because she made them so interesting.

After reading all of this, most people would argue that St. Ignatius should not be considered a true "inner-city school". While this may hold some truth, I am arguing that my life was greatly enriched simply because of the school's location in the middle of Cleveland, as opposed to a poor suburban area.

1.What do people often think negatively about?

A. Inner-city schools.

B. Stereotypes.

C. St. Ignatius.

D. Violence.

2.What can the author never remember seeing at St. Ignatius?

3.What would Mrs. Borroni do after school?

A. Give Spanish classes.

B. Tell students about activities.

C. Guide students in special groups.

D. Help students love learning.

4.Why might a reader of this article not view St. Ignatius as a

real inner-city school?

A. It is not in the middle of the city.

B. It is in a poor suburban area.

C. It enriched the author's life.

D. It might be better than others.

5.How does the author feel about inner-city schools?

A. The stereotypes about them are not at all true.

B. They are not necessarily all bad, as they can be good.

C. They are much poorer than those in the suburbs.

D. The students there are more enlightened.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.

In 1913, the United States government introduced a bold, new nickel. James Earle Fraser said his goal was to design a coin that

would be "truly American." In his search for symbols, he found none more distinctive than the American buffalo. Choosing to show a Native American on the other side of the coin, Fraser said the new nickel had "perfect unity of theme."

Production of "Buffalo" or "Indian Head" nickels began in February 1913. A single coining press at the Philadelphia Mint (造币厂) started turning out the nickels at the rate of 120 a minute. But after the first examples were introduced, The New York Times said they were "bad."

Other critics said that the coin's "rough" surfaces would encourage counterfeiters (造假币的人). But the most serious complaint about the nickel had to do with its inability to stand heavy use. One coin collectors' magazine predicted that the slightest wear would remove the date and the words Five Cents "beyond understanding."

In 1938, the Government staged a competition for a new nickel picturing Thomas Jefferson. According to a news item of the day, the Department of Indian Affairs didn't receive a single complaint from Native Americans about the design change. Collectors didn't seem to mind either.

6.In the eyes of Fraser, a __________ is the most distinctive.

A. nickel

B. buffalo

C. Native American

D. unity of theme

7.In the second sentence, Paragraph 2, the word "press" means

________.

A. publication

B. newspaper

C. machine

D. the act of pushing down

8.The design of a buffalo was modified ________.

A. because it was not able to stand heavy use

B. because the words Five Cents were "beyond

understanding"

C. because the coin couldn't be pressed by the Philadelphia

Mint

D. because the words were too high on the coin

9.According to one collectors' magazine using a Native

American and a buffalo was ________.

A. a good idea

B. a bad idea

C. a perfect idea

D. a forced idea

10.It seemed that the new nickel picturing Thomas Jefferson

________.

A. won much praise from collectors

B. caused strong protests from American Indians

C. was OK both to the collectors and American Indians

D. was praised both by the collectors and American Indians

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog. Time passed and my cards sold well. My enthusiasm for the greeting card business grew quickly. All along, I had been drawing fantasy art: monsters, dragons, castles, etc. With the birth of my first son in 1980, the content of my work went through a pretty dramatic change.

Fantasy went out of the window, and I began to illustrate reality.

In the spring of 1983, we, The Mary Engelbreit Greeting Card Company, took our 12 little designs to New York to exhibit them at a national card show.

I remember how big the show was. I just couldn't get over it. I had no idea there were so many different card companies. And it was exciting because our 12 little cards were getting a lot of attention in that huge place!

I've been told one of the reasons we had so much success at that show is because my card style was different than anything else at the market. I typically draw complicated details and use deep colors and funny or meaningful quotations.

By 1985, many greeting card publishers started noticing my art, and two of them approached me with licensing contracts.

I have always believed if you choose a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life. If you ask about the mystery of my success, all I can say is this: to imagine is everything!

11.Before the birth of her first son, Mary Engelbreit's cards

focused on ________.

A. reality

B. daily life

C. fantasy

D. dragons

12.The New York show was so big that Engelbreit ________.

A. couldn't walk through it

B. couldn't believe it

C. couldn't stay to the end of it

D. couldn't understand it

13.Engelbreit's cards were successful because ________.

A. they were distinctive in style

B. they had a thank-you sentence

C. they had complicated details

D. they were rich in color

14. A couple of greeting card companies ________.

A. presented Engelbreit with contracts

B. asked Engelbreit to make her cards more distinctive

C. wanted Engelbreit to use more meaningful quotations

D. thought her cards were to complicated

15.According to Mary Engelbreit, the key to success is

________.

A. devotion

B. opportunity

C. good luck

D. imagination

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the same passage or dialog.

You must face the fact that in your inmost heart you hate the thought of moving. It is easiest not to leave the rooms where your children passed through their wonderful childhood and annoying teens to a friendly but slightly distant maturity.

Until, suddenly one day, the distance is absolute and they are

grown up and gone. Then you find yourself living in too large a house, which consumes in its maintenance too much energy and money. When we found ourselves in this situation a few years ago, we determined to move while we still had the strength and before the emotional ties that the old house had wrapped around us became too powerful to be broken. Move while you can! But be sure you really want to, and do not move too often. It is an exhausting process.

Your first task is to find a house that will suit you. It must be smaller, quieter, easier to run, and more conveniently placed for transport. Not so small, though, that it will not have room for your largest pieces of furniture, and located not too far from the neighborhood where so many friendships have been built up.

At last we found one: a late Victorian cottage, in a street where the houses, all small, range from late 18th to mid 20th century. It was near enough to where we wanted to live. It had no basement (底下层), which was a great convenience for aging legs; there were only two floors: one for ourselves and one where friends, children, and grandchildren could spread themselves when they came to stay. Each floor had two rooms. There was a kitchen on the ground floor, with the bathroom above it.

16.The passage concerns ________.

A. buying a house for a newly married couple

B. buying a large house for a growing family

C. buying a better house when people have more money to

spend

D. buying a smaller house for older people whose children

have left home

17.The passage implies that grown-up children are _______.

A. more friendly to their parents when they are grown up

B. distant from their parents

C. friendly but not very close

D. annoying

18.The author decided to move ________.

A. when his house gave him too much work and cost too

much to run

B. when he grew tired of his house

C. when he suddenly got the strength to do so

D. before the house collapsed

19.The author advises people in his own situation ________.

A. to move into a very small house

B. to move somewhere where the largest possible pieces of

furniture will fit

C. not to move too far from the main road

D. to choose somewhere not so noisy

20.According to the passage, the new house had _________.

A. two floors

B. three floors

C. four floors

D. two bathrooms

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the same passage or dialog. Is teaching important? Well, of course it is. There was a time when all necessary knowledge could be taught to the young by family members. But as societies became more complex and division of labor more common, it was impossible for family members to teach the information and skills young people needed to become useful members of the society. As the need for specialists appeared, the job of teaching came into being in our country, and teaching as a

job has been of increasing importance over the past one hundred years. Today, we have strict rules for teachers. We hope all children can go to school. Many things tell us that teaching is indeed an "important" job.

In recent years, there has been an increasing need for teachers to be "responsible". This means that the public expects teachers to succeed in teaching important information to the young. Teachers' salaries today, while not much, certainly are much higher than they were in the past. These increases have come about because people have realized that quality people, individuals who are highly able to teach, will not do it if they are not offered enough money. Today almost no one says that "anybody will do" for a teacher. The public expects "quality people" to teach the young, and progress is being made to give salaries that will make people who have abilities become teachers.

21.In the author's opinion, the job of a teacher ________.

A. is done best by family members

B. is too complex for most people

C. is free of rules

D. is important for society

22.The cause for the new job of "teacher" was ________.

A. the increased importance of labor

B. the need for specialists

C. the strict rules of the government

D. the increased number of children in school

23.According to the writer, ________ is on the increase

nowadays.

A. a need for teachers to have responsibility for themselves

B. a need for teachers to teach responsibility to students

C. the numbers of students who are entering school

D. the numbers of people who take the job of teacher

24.We learn from this passage that ________.

A. money encourages teachers to be responsible

B. money is not a responsible reason to become a teacher

C. money is a good way to attract people to become teachers

D. money was much higher for teachers in the past

25.What do people hardly ever say these days?

A. Anyone can be a teacher.

B. Progress is being made.

C. Teachers have abilities.

D. Quality people are teaching the young.

英语阅读理解练习题带答案 阅读理解练习题1： When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly ad possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk 冒…危险being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up. “Storm chasing追逐” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby喜好, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frepuent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and wits for it to develop. Although anyone can do it , storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season. Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement . “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.” However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature, It is the greatest show on Earth.” 56. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to . A. head straight for the center of the storm B. get into the car for safety C. wait patiently for the storm to develop D. collect information about a coming storm 57. Beginners of storm chasing are advised .

Here are two predictions about the world of tomorrow. When we dream about the future, many like to think of owning a personal flying car. The advantages are obvious. This technology would allow total freedom of movement. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, some people believe there will be problems with traffic control. If the cars become popular, there is likely to be air traffic jam. Another big problem is mechanical failure. What will happen if the cars stop working? These are problems we must expect if flying cars become a reality. Three-dimensional printing is another new technology with exciting possibilities. 3D printers are used to build an object with liquid plastic. They build the object layer by layer until it is complete. Car companies already use 3D printers to make life-size models of car parts, and medical companies use the technology to make man-made body parts. As we move into the future, 3D printing will revolutionize the way we shop, the way we manufacture and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such equipment will be extremely expensive. So in the future, we might be able to fly to work or print out new shoes. Although there are some problems to solve before this will be possible, we can certainly dream of a world where technology makes life easier and safer for millions of people. （1）What is the passage mainly about? A. Environmental protection. B. The world of tomorrow. C. Advantages of technology. （2）What do we learn from the passage? A. Some people think technology development may bring new problems B. 3D printing can bring great changes to our life and its equipment is cheap. C. The flying cars won't bring air traffic jam even when they become popular.

This year, however, California garlic sales are rising because American government increases tariffs （关税） on Chinese products.

Tariffs on Chinese garlic rose from 10% to 25% on May 9, 2019, and the reason is that U.S President Donald Trump increased tariffs on Chinese products worth of $200 billion.
