In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited . About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way . Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的. No one had told them about the British custom (习惯)of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .

Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be

surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding (点头) your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty .

In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'— a nod means 'no' . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.

In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble . Also, you should try to avoid (避免)touching the head of an adult (成人) ——it's just not done in Thailand .

A. were foreigners

Britain’s smallest school was closed down because its only pupil failed to turn up for class, a famous British newspaper reported in May.

The newspaper said the six-year-old girl’s parents were unhappy with a teacher who just got the new job to teach the only pupil.

The school had been closed for the last nine months after its former (前任的) teacher retired（退休）and the only other pupil moved on to a secondary school. The new teacher, Ms Puckey, was to start teaching the girl and reopen the school.

But the girl’s mother is keeping her daughter at home.

“I was not pleased with the new teacher,” the mother said, “I had told the old teacher as far back as last September that if Ms Puckey got the job, my children would not be going to school.”The school lies on an island off the northeast coast of Scotland.

My friend Matt and I arrived at the Activity Centre on Friday evening. The accommodation wasn't wonderful，but we had everything we needed (beds，blankets，food)，and we were pleased to be out of the city and in the fresh air.

On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come along with two friends，Kevin and Simon，while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with Amanda. There were some other members I didn't know. We had come from different places and none of us knew the area.

We knew we were going to spend the weekend outdoors，but none of us was sure exactly how. Half of us spent the morning caving while the others went rock-climbing and then we changed at lunchtime. Matt and I went to the caves(岩洞) first. Climbing out was harder than going in，but after a good deal of pushing，we were out at last. Though we were covered with mud，we were pleased and excited by what we'd done.

We have known for a long time that flowers of different plants open and close at different time of day. This is so familiar that there seems to be no need to ask the reason for it. Yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at particular times. The process (过程) is not as simple as we might think, as recent experiments have shown. In one study, flowers were kept in constant (连续的) darkness. We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of day, did not open as they normally do. In fact, they continued to open at their usual time. This suggests that they have some mysterious (神秘的) way of knowing the time. Their sense of time does not depend on information from the outside world; it is, so to speak, inside them, a kind of “inner clock”.

This discovery (发现) may not seem to be very important. However, it was later found that not just plants but also animals —including man —have this “inner clock” which controls the working of their bodies and influences (影响) their activities. Men, then, are also influenced by this mysterious power. Whether we wish it or not, it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep, our need for food.

In the past, this did not matter very much because people lived in natural condition. In the modern world, things are different; now there are spacemen, airplane pilots and, in ordinary life, a lot of people who have to work at night. It would be very useful, then, to know more about the “inner clock”. Such ordinary things as flowers might help us understand more about ourselves.

71. A recent experiment showed that ________________.

A. different flowers open and close at different times of day

B. for their opening and closing, flowers do not need information from the outside world

C. flowers are influenced by weak light even when they are in a dark room

D. flowers can be used for telling the time

72. The “inner clock” _________________________.

A. is an unimportant discovery

B. is only found in animals

C. has not been understood by far

D. has an effect on human life

73. Further study of the “inner clock” will be useful because ________________.

A. it might help us in some way

B. we do not yet understand plants and animals well enough

C. the number of spacemen and airplane pilots is fast increasing

D. we should try to live more naturally than we do now

74. Kept in constant darkness, flowers ________________________.

A. will not open or close as usual

B. will not open any longer

C. will open as they do in natural conditions

D. will always remain in full blossom (开花)

75. ________________ have a mysterious power of knowing time without information from the outside world.

A. Animals including man as well as plants

B. All living things except man

C. Flowers are the only things in the world that

D. Neither animals nor plants

There are three girls in my family. Anne is six years older than me. Our family used to be very poor, and our mother worked at a factory in the evenings. Because our mother was so busy, Anne took care of me and my younger sister. During my teenage years, Anne was always there for me, not only as a big sister, but as a mother and best friend.

When I was seventeen, I thought about winning a college scholarship (大学奖学金). In order to win it, I had to go for an important interview. At that time Anne was busy working in a restaurant.

I told her of my interview and asked her advice on what to wear. I showed her my best clothes and my shoes. There was a hole (洞) in one of the shoes.

Anne suggested that we go shopping, and we took the bus to a shoe store. We found a beautiful pair of shoes on sale. She told me to try them on.

“But…” I said.

“This interview is important. I want to see you get that scholarship.”

I said nothing. However, I knew this was a lot of money for her. She would probably have to eat nothing but hamburgers for at least a month.

I went to the interview with my beautiful new shoes. I won the scholarship and years later I became an engineer. Although they were nice everyday shoes, I didn’t wear them much when I was in college. The shoes meant a lot to me. Now, twenty years have passed, I still have that pair of shoes with me, and I just wear them on important occasions (场合).

(英语)高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案

（英语）高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they've learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one's action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life. （1）It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A. very good players on the team B. addicted to alcohol and drugs C. three junior students and two senior students D. scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol （2）What did the girls do to support their coach's decision? A. They didn't fight for Danville High School any more. B. They all gave speeches to apologize in the local press. C. They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium. D. They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life. （3）Which word best describes the coach Rainville? A. Indifferent. B. Strict. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel. （4）Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Growing up with pain B. A bad mistake C. Team rules are everything D. Basketball girls in high school 【答案】（1）A

初三英语阅读组合训练（六） On a Saturday morning, my left arm went numb(麻木的), and I felt dizzy. I was taken to hospital. After a quick 41 , the doctor said I had a stroke. As waves of paralysis(瘫痪) came over me, I slowly lost 42 of my body. I was just 50 and I c ouldn’t believe it. After two operations, I was transferred to the Recovery Center（恢复中心）. Though I had lost the use of my 43 arm and leg and couldn’t see out of my left eye, the only thought on my mind was to return to my job. But in fact I needed to relearn how to 44 and see first and this just made me feel like it was 45 to become well again. A few days after my first discouraging physical therapy(治疗) session, my mother came into my room with a neatly-typed 46 written by a nine-year-old boy named Jackson. 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. As for my recovery, it 53 just as Jackson said it would. After a year of intense physical therapy, I climbed to the top of the Capitol and returned to work. With every step I took, I thought of Jackson and his courage and confidence. Whenever I was tired or 54 , I thought of him, the world’s 55 boy. 41.

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.
