Passage 3

When you speak on the telephone, you cannot use your facial (面部的) expression, eye contact and gestures to help communicate your message. Your voice must do the job.

A good voice is pleasant to listen to because it communicates a positive message. Keep in mind the following qualities of a good voice:

Speak in a voice neither too loud nor too soft. Speak louder when giving important information. Speak slowly enough so that the listener has a chance to understand your message without your having to repeat it. Keep in mind that as you speak the other person may be taking notes.

Pronunciation is the correct way to say a word. To avoid mispronouncing (读错音) words, you may wish to check the pronunciation of unfamiliar words in the dictionary before you use them.

People with an accent unlike yours may not understand your pronunciation of some words. You also may not understand the pronunciation of some of their words. In these cases, careful pronunciation is very important for effective communication. You may need to repeat or spell words that are unusual or easy to be misunderstood.

翻译：当你接电话时，你不能用你的面部（面部的）表达，眼神和手势来帮助传递你的信息。你的声音必须做的工作。

一个好的声音好听是因为它传达了一个积极的消息。记住下面的一个很好的声音品质：

声音不太大也不太软。说大声点，让重要信息的时候。慢慢地说，足够让听众有机会无需重复它了解你的消息。记住，当你说其他人可能做笔记。

发音是说的一个词的正确方法。为了避免发错音（读错音）的话，你可能要检查不熟悉的单词的发音词典中使用前。

口音不像你的人可能不理解你的一些词的发音。你也可能不理解他们的一些单词的发音。在这些情况下，仔细的进行有效的沟通是非常重要的。你可能需要重复或拼写的单词是不寻常的或容易被误解。

Passage 4

The first aid (急救) you learn from a course is not quite like reality. Most of us feel afraid when dealing with "the real thing". By overcoming these feelings, we are better able to use the first aid to cope with the unexpected.

Doing your part

First aid is not an exact science, and is thus open to human error. No matter how hard you try, the casualty (伤者) may not respond as hoped. Some conditions might lead to death, even with the best medical care.

Giving care with confidence

The casualty needs to feel protected and in safe hands. You can create an air of confidence and safety by:

being in control, both of yourself and the problem;

acting calmly and reasonably;

being gentle, but firm, with your hands, and speaking to the casualty kindly, but hopefully.

Building up trust

Talk to the casualty throughout your examination and treatment (治疗).

Explain what you are going to do.

Try to answer questions honestly to reduce fears as best as you can. If you do not know the answer, say so.

翻译：急救（急救）你从课程学习是不是很像现实。我们最感到害怕的时候处理“真实的东西”。克服这些情感，我们能够更好地使用急救应对突

发事件的。

做你的一部分

急救是不是一门精确的科学，因此是打开人类的错误。不管你多么努力，伤亡（伤者）可能不回应，希望。某些情况下可能会导致死亡，即使有最好的医疗。

付出关怀与信心

伤员需要受到保护的感觉，在安全的手。您可以创建一个空的信心和安全：

?被控制，包括你自己的和问题；

?表演从容地；

?温柔，但坚定的，用你的手，请给伤员来说，但希望。

建立信任

跟伤亡在你的检查和治疗（治疗）。

?解释你打算做什么。

?试图如实回答问题减少恐惧尽你所能。如果你不知道答案，所以说。Passage 5

Car is made up of more than 30 000 parts. Each part in a new car is as weak as a baby. So a new car requires proper care and servicing. If you're unfamiliar with the parts, you have to read through the owner's instructions carefully.

First of all, the brakes (刹车) of your car are important for safety reasons. Having them checked regularly can reduce the risks of accidents. Another important thing to consider is engine care. Always remember that the life and performance of your car engine depend on the engine oil. Replace the engine oil when recommended. If you feel the engine is very hot especially

during summer it is probably because the cooling system doesn't work well. You'd better get the cooling system serviced before the start of summer.

In a word, timely and proper servicing is an important task for car owners. Good servicing can not only extend the life of your newborn baby, but also ensure your safety, and the safety of those who share the road with you.

翻译：汽车是由超过30个000个部分。在一个新的汽车各部分像一个婴儿一样脆弱。所以一个新的汽车需要适当的照顾和服务。如果你不熟悉的部分，你必须经过业主的指示，小心。

首先，刹车（刹车）你的车是安全的重要原因。他们定期检查可以减少事故的风险。另一个重要的考虑是发动机护理。永远记住，生活和你的汽车发动机的性能取决于发动机润滑油。更换发动机机油时，推荐。如果你感觉到发动机是非常热的夏季期间，这可能是由于冷却系统工作不正常。你最好把冷却系统保养之前夏天的开始。

总之，及时的服务是车主的一项重要任务。良好的服务不仅能延长你的新生儿的生命，而且保证你的安全，和那些与你分享的道路安全。

Passage 6

My husband and I got married in 1981 and for the first ten years of our marriage, I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children. Then four years ago, our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work.

My husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He emphasized all of the things I can do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.

After several weeks of looking for a job, I found my present job, which is working for a small public relations firm. At first, my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends, “My clever little wife can run that company she’s working for.”

But as his joking statement approached truth, my husband stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions and pay increa ses, and I’m now making more money than he is. I can buy my own

clothes and a new car. Because of our joined incomes, my husband and I can do many things we had always dreamed of doing, but we don’t do these things because he is very unhappy.

We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think it is possible that our marriage may come to an end.

I love my husband very much, and I don’t want him to feel inferior（低等的）, but I also love my job. I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don’t know how. Who can give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career？

翻译：我和丈夫结婚在1981和我们结婚后的前十年，我在家抚养我的三个孩子很快乐。四年前，我最小的孩子上学了，我想我会回去工作。

我的丈夫是非常支持和帮助我做出我的决定。他强调，所有的事情我可以做在家，并说他认为我可以事业非常成功。

经过几个星期的找工作，我发现我现在的工作，这是一个小型公关公司工作。首先，我的丈夫非常自豪，我会告诉他的朋友，“我聪明的小妻子可以运行的，她工作的公司。”

但他开玩笑的说法接近真理，我丈夫停止谈论我的工作。我收到一些升职和加薪，我现在比他挣得多。我可以买我自己的衣服和一辆新车。因为我们加入了收入，我丈夫和我能做我们一直梦想着做很多事情，但是我们不做这些事，因为他很不高兴。

我们战斗的小事和我丈夫在我们的朋友面前我很挑剔。在我的第一次婚姻，我认为这是可能的，我们的婚姻结束了。

我非常爱我的丈夫，我不想让他感到自卑（低等的），但我也爱我的工作。我想我能成为一个好妻子，一个工作的女人，但我不知道。谁能给我一些建议吗？我要选择一个或另一个或我可以把我的丈夫和我的新事业吗？

Passage 7

Being a salesman, the most important thing is to understand people.

You've got to know what they're thinking. If you can figure that out, you can get them to do a lot. They come in with an idea about what they want. You get them talking about themselves, about what they like.

If it's a man, you talk about football, or something like that. If it's a woman, you ask her about fashions. That way they get comfortable with you. You ask them a lot of questions and get them saying yes. Then they just get into the habit of saying yes.

In the end, you can put them into anything you want, if you're really good. For example, if they need a little car for the city; you send them home a truck. Of course, 1 wouldn't really do that. It wouldn't be right. You've got to sell on this job, but you also have to be fair. It's not fair to take advantage of people too much. There are some people in this business who'd do anything. But 1 don't believe in that.

翻译：作为一个推销员，最重要的是要了解的人。你知道他们在想什么。如果你能看出来，你可以让他们做了很多。他们有什么想法，他们想要的。你让他们谈论他们自己，喜欢什么的。

如果这是一个男人，你谈论足球，或类似的东西。如果这是一个女人，你问她关于时装。这样他们熟悉你。你问他们许多问题，他们说是的。然后他们就习惯说是的。

最后，你可以放在任何你想要的东西，如果你真的很好。例如，如果他们需要一辆小汽车的城市；你送他们回家的汽车。当然，1不会真的这样做了。它不会是正确的。你要对这项工作卖，但是你也要公平。这是不公平的优势的人太多了。有一些人在这个行业的人会做任何事。但1不相信。

Passage 8

Mrs. Peters stopped playing the piano when she began to work. She had lived in a very small flat, and there had been no room for a piano. But when she married, she had a new flat which was big enough for one. So she decided to get one and her husband agreed and helped her. She saved some money, and her parents gave her a generous amount of money for her birthday. Then she went to a shop and said, “I’ll choose whichever piano does

not cost too much and fits into my living room.”

When she had paid for the piano, the shop assistant asked her if she would like him to get it tuned every few months. Mrs. Peters agreed.

A few months later she heard from the shop that a man was coming to tune the piano at ten that morning. Now she had not cleaned the house yet, so it was dusty and untidy. Mrs. Peters hated having even the least amount of dirt, and felt ashamed whenever strange people saw her house like that. So she had to hurry to clean everything carefully. It meant a lot of effort, and it made her hot and tired, but anyhow, by the time the man arrived, everything was finished.

She opened the door, and the man was standing there with a big dog. “Good morning,” the man said politely, “Will it disturb you if I bring my dog in, please? I’m blind, and he leads me wherever I go.”

翻译：彼得斯夫人不弹钢琴的时候，她就开始工作了。她住在一个很小的公寓，并没有一个房间钢琴。但当她结婚了，她有了一个新的公寓是足够大的一个。于是她决定找一个和她丈夫同意帮助她。她存了一些钱，她父母给她的生日礼物是一大笔钱。然后她去了商店，说，“我会选择钢琴不太贵，适合我的起居室里。”

当她弹钢琴的支付，店员问她是否会像他一样把它调每几个月。彼得斯太太同意了。

几个月后，她听到从商店里，有人要调钢琴那天上午十时。现在她还没有打扫房子呢，所以这是灰尘和不整洁的。彼得斯太太讨厌甚至灰尘最少，而感到羞耻时，奇怪的人看到她那样的房子。所以她不得不赶快清除一切小心。这意味着大量的努力，这使她又热又累，但无论如何，当人到了，一切都结束了。

她打开门，那人正站在那儿有一只大狗。“早上好，”他很有礼貌地说，“它会打扰你，如果我带我的狗，好吗？我是盲人，他带我到哪里去。”

Passage 9

Once I found out that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I

didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.

Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she mentioned how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.

Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as though I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper, I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed awfully strange to her that I hadn’t mention ed anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even though I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.翻译：一旦我发现做一个人能给你带来麻烦。当时我在第八年级，我们有一个最后的考验。在测试期间，坐在我旁边的女孩低声说了些什么，但我不明白。所以我俯身在她的方式，发现她想问我是否有额外的笔。她发现她是我的墨水用完，不会写。我碰巧有一个额外的一个，所以我把它从我的口袋里，把它放在她的书桌。

后来，在试卷已上缴，老师让我呆在房间里时，所有其他的学生被开除。当我们单独在一起，她开始向我谈起长大意味着什么；她提到要站在自己的两只脚，并为自己的行为负责是多么重要。很长一段时间，她谈到诚实，并强调这一事实，当人们做一些不诚实的，他们真的欺骗自己。她让我保证，我会认真思考所有的事情她说，然后她告诉我我可以离开。我走出房间问她为什么选择了跟我说所有这些事情。

后来，我发现她认为我在考试中作弊了。当她看到我瘦了跟我旁边的女孩，好像我是复制的女孩的试卷答案，我试图解释的笔，但她可以说是它似乎很奇怪，她说我没有提到关于笔的一天，她对我说在测试什么。

即使我试图解释说我只是做女孩的忙，让她用我的笔，我相信她仍然认为，我在考试中作弊了。

Passage 10

Mr. Smith was a wealthy industrialist, but he was not satisfied with life. He did not sleep well and his food did not agree with him. This situation lasted for some time. Finally, after several sleep-less nights, he decided to consult his doctor. The doctor advised a change of surroundings. “Go abroad”, he said. “But I’m not good at foreign language,” said Mr. Smith. “It doesn’t matter,” said the doctor. “It won’t hurt you to talk a little less. Go on a voyage. Take plenty of exercise. Try to reduce your weight. Avoid rich food.”

Mr. Smith went to Switzerland. He did not know French or German, and had to communicate through gestures. He attended a physical training course. The instructor made him bend his knees, swing his arms, stretch his neck and shake his head rapidly. He had to lie on the ground and raise his right and left legs alternately. After a time his muscles grew hard and firm. He forgot the financial crisis and the importance of raising the level of production. He even began to notice individual trees and individual birds.

Finally he returned home. But unfortunately his improvement was only temporary. Soon he was a normal business man again, worried about his property, his profits, his savings, his advancement in a technological society, and things in general.

翻译：

史密斯先生是一位富有的企业家，但他对生活感到不满意。他睡得不好，他的食物不同意他。这种情况持续了一段时间。最后，经过多次睡眠较少的夜晚，他决定去请教医生。医生建议改变环境。“走出去”，他说。“但我不擅长外语，”史密斯先生说。“没关系，”医生说。“这不会伤害你说话少一点。去旅行。多做锻炼。尽量减少你的体重。避免油腻的食物。”

史密斯先生去瑞士。他不知道法国或德国，不得不通过手势。他参加了一个身体训练课程。老师让他他的膝盖弯曲，摆动双臂，伸长脖子和快速摇头。他得躺在地上，把他的左右脚交替。一时间，他的肌肉变得结实后。他忘了金融危机和提高生产水平的重要性。他甚至开始注意到一棵棵树和鸟。

最后他回到家。但不幸的是他的改善只是暂时的。很快，他是一个正常的业务的人了，担心自己的财产，他的利润，积蓄，他在科技社会的进步，和一般的东西。

3 大学英语四级阅读理解试题及答案（四） 十六 Trees should only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and , fortunately,the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of obergrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way. First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut diseaed or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air. One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but itis a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the desease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce which has been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hurs and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts yu make will bleed. If this does happen,it is, of course,impossible to paint them properly. 1.Pruning should be done to ______. a.make the tree grow taller

（英语）英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon. The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype (原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton, marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics, says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly. It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed, he adds. Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors ( 交叠式旋翼 )to power the vehicle. The company is testing a full-size prototype of the Hoverbike, which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams. In New Zealand, the Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying device, called the Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour. Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said the Jetpack “is built around safety from the start. In his words, reliability is the most important element of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car.” The Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute (降落伞) that can be used should there be an emergency. “It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot,” he adds. Mr. Coker says the Jetpack will be ready for sale soon. （1）We can learn from the passage that the Hoverbike . A. can hardly get in and out of small spaces quickly B. can fly for over 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters high C. has been used by the police and emergency rescue teams D. can be transported quickly after being folded and packed （2）The writer uses the example of For One racing car to show that . A. the Jetpack is very safe and reliable B. the engine of the Jetpack is powerful C. the actual structure of the Jetpack is unique D. the Jetpack can reach a great speed and height （3）The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer s to. A. the jet stream B. the engine C. the Jetpack D. the parachute （4）What is the authors main purpose of writing the passage? A. To describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles. B. To introduce the latest development of flying vehicles. C. To show the differences between two flying vehicles. D. To advertise the two personal

一、中考英语阅读理解汇编 1．阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出最佳选项。 What will the world of the future be like? There are plenty of people who are happy to give their opinion of what we will be doing in 2050. 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.

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.
