六年級英語下冊閱讀材料篇1
Reading is a pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the author's or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.
Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something; they are connected with each other and with other cities. The same ideas, or related ones, turn up in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in literature, but with different solutions according to different writings at different times.
Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you "ought" to read, you probably won't have fun. But if you put down a book you don't like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time--and if you become as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won't have suffered ring the process.

讀書是愉悅心智之事。在這一點上它與運動頗為相似:一個優秀的讀者必須要有熱情、有知識、有速度。讀書之樂並非在於作者要告訴你什麼，而在於它促使你思考。你跟隨作者一起想像，有時你的想像甚至會超越作者的。把自己的體驗與作者的相互比較，你會得出相同或者不同的結論。在理解作者想法的同時，也形成了自己的觀點。
每一本書都自成體系，就像一家一戶的住宅，而圖書館里的藏書好比城市裡千家萬戶的居所。盡管它們都相互獨立，但只有相互結合才有意義。家家戶戶彼此相連，城市與城市彼此相依。相同或相似的思想在不同地方涌現。人類生活中反復的問題也在文學中不斷重現，但因時代與作品的差異，答案也各不相同。
如果你希望的話，讀書也能充滿樂趣。倘若你只讀那些別人告訴你該讀之書，那麼你不太可能有樂趣可言。但如果你放下你不喜歡的書，試著閱讀另外一本，直到你找到自己中意的，然後輕輕鬆鬆的讀下去，差不多一定會樂在其中。而且，當你通過閱讀變得更加優秀，更加善良，更加文雅時，閱讀便不再是一種折磨。
六年級英語下冊閱讀材料篇2
Baekeland and Hartmann report that the “short sleepers” had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at about age 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.
In general, these “short sleeps” appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful, conformist(不動搖) in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or workers full-or part-time while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to appear “normal” or “acceptable” to their friends and associates.
When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers” did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.
The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers” were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized as manic(瘋人). The “long sleepers” were quite different indeed. Baekeland and Hartmann report that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the “short sleepers.”
Many of the “long sleepers” were shy, anxious, introverted (內向), inhibited (壓抑), passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves (particularly in social situations). Several openly states that sleep was an escape from their daily problems.
【參考翻譯】
貝克爾和哈特曼報道說，“睡眠少的人”在未進入少年期之前，其正常睡眠時間大致與所需要的時間差不多。但到了15歲左右，由於學校、工作或其它 活動的地壓力，他們就故意地減少了夜間睡眠的時間。這些人持有這樣的觀點：夜間睡眠是一件令人討厭的事情，打斷了日常事務。
總的說來，這些“睡眠少的人”表現得雄心勃勃、積極活躍、精力充沛、無意識樂觀豁達、立場堅定，對自己職業的選擇胸有成竹。他們往往同時從事幾 項工作，或者一邊上學讀書，一邊從事專職或兼職工作。其中許多人有強烈願望，想在朋友和熟人面前表現得“正常”或“合群”。
當讓他們回憶夢境時，“睡眠少的人”回憶不起什麼來。更有甚者，他們似乎情願什麼都記不住。類似的情況是他們通常處理心理問題的方式：不承認問 題的存在，希望只要忙忙碌碌，麻煩總會過去的。
“睡眠少的人”的睡眠模式與被劃入瘋子之類精神病患者的睡眠模式十分相似，只不過沒有那麼嚴重而已。
“睡眠多的人”情形則大不相同。貝克爾和哈特曼報道說，這些年輕人從小的，有抱負的睡眠就一直很長。他們好像注重睡眠，不讓睡眠受打攪。偶爾沒 有所需的9個小時夜間卧床休息，他們便會十分不安。他們比“睡眠少的人”要更能回憶得起夢的內容。許多“睡眠多的人”靦腆、焦躁、內向、壓抑、消極和稍微 有點兒沮喪，尤其在社交場合缺乏自信。好幾個人坦言，睡眠是擺脫每天煩惱的一種方式。
六年級英語下冊閱讀材料篇3
The main impression growing out of twelve years on the faculty of a medical school is that the No.1 health problem in the U.S. today, even more than AIDS or cancer, is that Americans don’t know how to think about health and illness. Our reactions are formed on the terror level.
We fear the worst, expect the worst, thus invite the worst. The result is that we are becoming a nation of weaklings and hypochondriacs, a self-medicating society incapable of
distinguishing between casual, everyday symptoms and those that require professional attention.
Early in life, too, we become seized with the bizarre idea that we are constantly assaulted by invisible monsters called germs, and that we have to be on constant alert to protect ourselves against their fury. Equal emphasis, however, is not given to the presiding fact that our bodies are superbly equipped to deal with the little demons and the best way of forestalling an attack is to maintain a sensible life-style.
【參考翻譯】
在醫學院任教十二年來，我獲得的主要印象是，當今美國頭號健康問題——一個比艾滋病或癌症更為嚴重的問題——是美國人不知道如何去認識健康與疾病。我們的反應是驚恐萬狀。我們怕最壞的事，想著最壞的事，而恰恰就召來了最壞的事。結果 ，我們變成了一個孱弱不堪，總疑心自己有病的民族，一個分不清哪些是日常偶發症狀，哪些是需要治療的症狀，而自己擅自用葯的社會。

初一英語天天練：閱讀理解--煩人的蚊子
We know the mosquito very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They can be found almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them.
No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she loves you. She? Yes, she. It』s true that male mosquito doesn』t bite(咬) and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn』t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen. You』re different from the others!
If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch(癢) on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. By the time the itching begins, and she has flown away.
And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She just wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, on a leaf or a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs.
1. 「Mosquito」 means _______ in Chinese.
A. 蒼蠅 B. 蜻蜓
C. 跳蚤 D. 蚊子
2. We know mosquitoes very well because ___________.
A. they can be found easily B. they fly here and there
C. there are many kinds of them D. they can fly

5. Which of the following sentences is wrong?
A. The itching begins after the mosquito bites you.
B. You feel terrible when the mosquito bites you.
C. Mosquitoes use blood to lay eggs.
D. All the mosquitoes don』t like to bite people for blood.
答案及解析：
1. D。 「吸血」和「會飛」是mosquitoes的兩個主要特徵。根據這兩個特點，聯系生活常識，即可選定答案。另外，讀罷全文之後，也能將其餘選項予以排除。
2. B。 「We know the mosquito very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere.」一句是答案的出處。
3. D。 答案就在「But if she doesn』t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood.」這句話之中。
4. C。 答案的依據是「…she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different.」一句。
5. B。 其餘三項在文中都有明確的說明。根據上面那個小題的內容，B項明顯是錯誤的。
高考英語閱讀理解真題解析·最初的和最後的人類
導語：2014高考臨近，我為考生們整理了高考英語閱讀理解真題解析 ， 希望對大家有所幫助。
Olaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men, in which he looked millions of years ahead. He told of different men and of strange civilizations(文明), broken up by long 「dark ages」 in between. In his view, what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2,000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men.
However, most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted. Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred? The next thousand? The next million? That』s much more difficult.
When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago, how could they even begin to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50,000 years from now, we may seem as primitive(原始的) in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us. Perhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spundels, or struggling with their ballalators through the cribe. These words, which I have just made up, have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can』t think of.
So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future? Here are two reasons. First, unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history, we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live because we are careless or greedy(貪婪) or quarrelsome, our grandchildren will not bother to think of excuses for us.
Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future, we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example, if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming, we can think of trying it now. So set you imagination free when you think about the future.
1. A particular mention made of Stapledon』s book in the opening paragraph ________.
A. serves as a description of human history
B. serves an introction to the discussion
C. shows a disagreement of views
D. shows the popularity of the book
2. The text discusses men and women 50,000 years ago and 50,000 years from now in order to show that ________.
A. human history is extremely long
B. life has changed a great deal
C. it is useless to plan for the next 50 years
D. it is difficult to tell what will happen in the future
3. Spundels and ballalators are used in the text to refer to ________.
A. tools used in farming
B. ideas about modern life
C. unknown things in the future
D. hunting skills in the Stone Age
4. according to the writer of the text, imagining the future will ________.
A. serve the interests of the present and future generations
B. enable us to better understand human history
C. help us to improve farming
D. make life worth living(www.nmet168.com)
【答案與解析】 這是一篇由 Olaf Stapledon 所著的《最初的和最後的人類》而引出的關於幻想未來的文章。
1. B。 用排除法解答：先排除 A，因為這篇短文並非是對人類歷史進行描述;再排除C，因為作者在此文章中並非表明對不同觀點的否定;最後排除 D，因為作者並非要說明這本書的普遍意義。至於 B 項內容，正好符合這本書引導人們討論的意圖，故應選 B。
2. D。 文中提及五萬年前，處於狩獵時代的人們不可能勾勒出現代生活的畫卷;也許我們將來會被認為是我們所認為的原始人，正如石器時代的狩獵者和我們相比一樣，可知要預測較為遙遠的未來是一件困難的事情。
3. C。 從上下文可知，這四個詞彙是作者杜撰的，用以形象地表示五萬年後未知的事物和行為。
4. A。 文中提及現在即開始對未來展開想像，是基於兩點理由：人生是有限的;我們可能得到一些對我們自己切實可行的新見解。文中還提及如果我們因粗心大意和貪得無厭而把地球弄得一塌糊塗而不能居住，我們的子孫們就不難找到遷怒於我們的理由，故應選A。

Half an hour later，I felt hungry.I had to get up.It was white everywhere and some children were skiing down the hill.On my way to the small restaurant，I saw a boy fall on to a rock(岩石).I ran to him quickly and carried him to a hospital.Soon his parents came here.Now I knew the boy was just the manager's son.He thanked me very much and gave me the money after we had a dinner.

初中英語閱讀知識點：閱讀理解的解題技巧
閱讀理解主要考查學生一下幾個方面的閱讀理解能力：
1、理解和把握文章主旨大意、段落大意和中心思想的能力。
2、理解和把握文章具體信息來獲取有關信息能力，及根據上下文提供的語境推測生詞詞義、句意，進而加深對文章的理解能力。
3、根據文章進行簡單的數字推算和計算的能力。
4、既要理解詞、短語、句子和文章的表層意思，更要理解其深層含義和抽象概念的能力。
5、理解全篇的邏輯關系，根據已知信息進行合理的推理判斷和預測新信息的能力。
解題技巧：
1、順序法：先讀懂文章，然後按順序答題。此方法適合內容較易於理解和記憶飛文章。
2、顛倒法：先讀試題再讀文章，這樣我們可以帶著問題有的放矢的閱讀文章並迅速發現答案。
3、交叉法：先閱讀一篇文章，把握中心大意後開始答題，對暫時確定不了的答案，可再次回讀文章的有關內容並對其進行分析、推敲後再確定。
4、排除法：對拿不準的答案，可先逐項排除自己有把握的錯誤選項，再將剩下的答案進行比較、篩選，直到確定最佳答案。
5、要尊重原材料中的信息、觀點，並在此基礎上答題;不要憑想當然、主觀臆斷答題，不要鑽牛角尖。
6、在做任務型閱讀回答問題時，要盡量簡略回答，無關信息盡量刪除。特殊疑問句的回答基本是直接信息，在原文中能直接找到答案。
