答案：CBBAD
在奧地利的維也納，最近當一位名為Joseph Groeger的老婦人過世的時候，人們忍不住要問：「為什麼她可以活到107歲呢?」當對148個100歲以上的維也納人進行調查之後，我們得出了答案。有點讓人驚訝的是，這些人中的多數人都大部分的人生都是在都市生活的。盡管城市給我們的印象一直都是不利於健康的，但是城市生活往往提供一些鄉村缺乏的便利。其中有一個就是這些被調查者長壽的重要因素。
這個因素就是鍛煉。在城市，對於比較短的路程，往往走路比你等著坐公車去更快捷。就算去搭乘一些公共交通工具也經常要走一段路程。較小的公寓一般沒有電梯，人們就不得不爬樓。城市人還經常步行去附近的超市買東西。在停車位如此難找的情況下，往往沒有別的選擇只有步行。
另一方面，那些住在鄉村和郊區的人反而無需每天走路。事實上，他們每天都乘坐交通工具，去上學，去上班，或者去其他任何地方，都必須開車前往。
高中英語閱讀理解測試題 篇3
If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago，we should probably have to say that we could not remember But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day，we should be able to give an answer to the question.
It is the same in history Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country，but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war.Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to Write.For example，we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4，000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them.But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa. because they had not learned to write. Sometimes.of course，even if the people cannot write，they may know something of the past.They have heard about it from older people，and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings，and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past.This we may call remembered history』.Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is，because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing.But where there are no written records，such spoken stories are often very helpful.
41. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?
A.「Remembered history」，compared with written history，is less reliable
B.Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history.
C.A written account of our daily activities helps US to be able to answer many questions.
D.Where there are no written records.there is no history.
42.We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because
A.there was nothing worth being written down at that time
B .the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record
C.the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire
D.the people there did not know how to write
43.「Remembered history」refers to
A.history based on a persons imagination
B .stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth
C .songs and dances about the most important events
D .both B and C
44.「Remembered history」is regarded as valuable only when

1n 2007.five young people in the American state of Massachusetts developed an idea. The team knew that the world is filled with mobile phones.About eighty percent of all people are said to live within reach of a wireless telephone signal. The idea was to use mobile phones and the Internet to connect job seekers with employers.The young people wrote a business plan and formed a pany called Assured Labor.
Assured Labor won a development petition at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT.Three of the founders were graate students there. ‗
Assured Labor is an electronic market place.It has two parts.One is for the United States.That operation was launched in January in Boston.It links people with employers offering temporary jobs.
The other arm of the business is for developing markets.That operation is meant to help people get permanent jobs.A representative is currently building partnerships with universities，and international panies in Central America.
Assured Labor『s president L David Reich，says the panies now place job advertisements on radio or in
newspapers.Some even drive around in cars with loudspeakers announcing that jobs are available.He says the panies are interested in having more modem hiring practices.
Through Assured Labor panies will list open positions on the Internet.People who think
they could do the job could reply by text messages or on their cell phones.
This is how the system works in Boston.
The jobs available include house cleaning, dog walking and home repair. .People who want their house cleaned，for example，can look online at a list of twenty housekeepers.The list tells what services they offer，and how much they want to be paid.People need two letters praising their work to get on the list of service providers.
The employer chooses workers they would like to hire ,The pany then sends the workers a text or e-mail message so they can respond quickly to an offer.
After a job is pleted，the employer and employee rate each other, The rating is kept for future use.Assured Labor is not charging anyone，right now, but the plan is to have employers pay for the service.
56.Which of the following is the proper procere to seek a job through Assured Labor?
a. People can look online at a list of jobs

di *** elief.―But I'm almost sixty.‖ After a few months he started planning.whenever he discussed the idea.
A man，thirty years older than I，lies in a coffin.Flowers，the American flag and his VFW
rades surround him，paying tribute頌詞to him as the man he really was.And I sit alone
here，with our two children，in silence，praying that this cold morning at church is only a nightmare and 1 will awake to his
loving arms again.
Our son，our first born，his joy and pride，sits to the right of me seeming just as confused as me I look over at him.How he looks like his father--blonde hair，tall and skinny——even his Irish
temperament氣質and that naughty look in his eyes。He's wearing his father's watch.It's too big
for him but he refused to take it off.I know he『ll keep it safe.Our second，the little angel and
Daddy's little girl，lays in her stroller嬰兒車in the aisle，sound asleep.She'll never remember the
man she called―Da‖.

In 1997, a group of twenty British women made history. Working in five teams with four women in each team, they walked to the North Pole. Apart from one experienced female guide, the other women were all ordinary people who had never done anything like this in their lives before. They managed to survive in an environment which had defeated several very experienced men ring the same time period.
The women set off as soon as they were ready. Once on the ice, each woman had to ski along while dragging a sledge 雪橇 weighing over 50 kilos. This would not have been too bad on a *** ooth surface, but for long distances, the Arctic ice is pushed up into huge piles two or three metres high, and the sledges had to be pulled up one side and carefully let down the other so that they didn『t bee damaged. The temperature was always below the freezing point and sometimes strong winds made walking while pulling so much weight almost impossible. It was also very difficult for them to put up their tents when they stopped each night.
In such conditions, the women were making good progress if they covered fourteen or fifteen kilometres a day. But there was another problem. Part of the journey was across a frozen sea with moving water underneath the ice and at some points the team would drift 漂流 back more than five kilometres ring the night. That meant that after walking in these very severe conditions for ten hours on one day, they had to spend part of the next day covering the same ground again. Furthermore, each day it took three hours from waking up to setting off and another three hours every evening to set up the camp and prepare the evening meal.
So, how did they manage to succeed? They realized that they were part of a team. If any one of them didn『t pull her sledge or get her job done, she would endanger the success of the whole expedition 探險. Any form of selfishness could result in the efforts of everyone else being pletely wasted, so personal feelings had to be put to one side. At the end of their journey, the women agreed that it was mental effort far more than physical fitness that got them to the North Pole.
63. What was so extraordinary about the expedition?
A. There was no one to lead it.
B. The women did not have any men with them.
C. It was a new experience for most of the women.
D. The women had not met one another before.
64. It was difficult for the women to cover 15 kilometres a day because ________.
A. they got too tired B. the ice was moving
C. they kept getting lost D. the temperatures were too low
65. What is the main message of the text?
A. Motivation and teamwork achieve goals.
B. Women can do anything they want.
C. It is sometimes good to experience difficult conditions.
D. Arctic conditions are very severe.
66. Which of the following items is NOT mentioned in the text?
A. Weather conditions. B. Protective clothing.
C. Preparing food. D. Feelings and relationships.

The United States government wants to know what the public thinks about its findings on the safety of cloned animals. The Food and Drug Administration says meat and milk from clones of *** animals
are safe to eat.They called them―as safe to eat as the food we eat every day‖.
And when those clones reproce sexually有性繁殖，the agency says，their offspring後代 are safe to eat as well. The United States this year could bee the first country to allow the sale of foods from cloned animals. First，however，the publlc wiIl have ninety days to ment on three proposed

ready to act several years ago，but an advisory mittee called for more research.
For now，the government will continue to ask procers to honor a request that
they not sell foods from cloned animals.
Clones are still rare.They cost a lot and are difficult to proce. ·
The F.D.A.says most food from cloning is expected to e not from clones themselves，but from their sexually reproced offspring.It says clones are expected to be used mostly as breeding animals to spread good qualities.
Public opinion studies show most Amerlcans do not 11ke the idea of food from cloned animals.But this research also shows the public knows little about cloning.
Cloning differs from genetic engineering.A cell tak, from a so-called donor animal is grown into an embryo胚胎in the laboratory.Next，the embryo is placed into the uterus子宮of a female animal.If the process is successful，the pregnancy reaches full term and a genetic of the donor animal is born.

A new set of brain images shows why : Reading the Roman alphabets and Chinese characters uses different parts of the brain.
The results also suggest that Chinese schoolchildren have reading problems in a different part of the brain used in reading alphabet-based languages. This shows that the learning disorder dyslexia inability to read properly is not the same in very culture and does not have a universal biological cause.
Scientists described the results as ― very important and revolutionary‖. While dyslexia has certain mon roots, they said, they now have some proof that this kind of functional problem works differently according to the different demands that Western and Eastern languages place on the brain.
Dyslexia is a mon developmental disorder in which people of normal intelligence have difficulty learning to read, spell and master other language skills.
The results suggest that treating dyslexia around the world probably will require different treatments.
―Reading is plex,‖ said Guinevere Eden, Georgetown University professor. ― This shows we need to be more open-minded about diverse treatment approaches.‖
Its origins are plex. There appears to be a genetic aspect to the illness. It also may result from brain injury before birth that changes visual and hearing pathways in the brain.
Earlier brain scans show that English-reading dyslexics don『t function properly in a left part of the brain associated with the awareness of 44 sounds from the English alphabet. However, according to the new study, reading Chinese uses some different parts of the brain located in the left-front of the brain. It is associated with symbol interpretation. Unlike alphabet letters, Chinese characters represent entire thoughts and physical objects.

There are four people in the picture. A girl is learning how to ride a bike. Her parents and her grandmother, being afraid that she might fall off the bike, are trying hard to support her. The mother is even carrying a first–aid box. But with them around her, the girl finds it very difficult to learn. So she tells them to let her ride it by herself.
In our real life, we can see something like that happening everywhere. Parents love their children too much. They take care of everything for them. They don『t want them to take any risks. However, by doing so, the parents actually hinder their children from growing up strong and healthy. Parents should know that trees can『t grow big and strong in a greenhouse.

高中英語閱讀理解測試題 篇5
Trees are useful to man in three very important ways：they provide him wood and other procts;they give him shade;and they help to prevent drought(乾旱)and floods.
Unfortunately，in many parts of the world，man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important.In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees，he has cut them down in large numbers Two thousand years ago，a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships，with which to gain itself an empire It gained the empire but，without its trees，its soil became bare and poor.When the empire fell to pieces，the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.
Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees，it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this.They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees So，unless the government has a good system of control，or can ecate the people，the forests slowly disappear
This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees.The results are even more serious：for where
there are trees，their roots break the soil up，allowing the rain to sink in， and also bind the soil.This prevents the soil from being washed away.But where there are no trees，the rainfalls on hard ground and flows away on the surface，and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow When a11 the topsoil is gone.nothing remains but worthless desert.
41.Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways，the most important of which is that they can ____
A. keep him from the hot sunshine
B.enable him to build warships
C.make him draw quick profit from them
D .protect him from droughts and floods
42.It』s a great pity that ____
A.man is only interested in building empires
B.man is eager to profit from trees
C.man hasnt realized the importance of trees to him
D. man hasnt found out that he has lost all trees
43.Sooner or later the forests will disappear ______.
A. unless a country has a plenty supply of trees
B.unless people stop cutting down their trees
C.unless aIl people are taught the importance of planting trees
D.unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting them
44.The word「bind」in Paragraph 5 means「____」
A.to wash away
B.to make wet
C.to make stay together
D.to improve
45. When there is a heavy rain.trees can help to prevent floods.as they can.
A.keep rain from falling down to soft ground
B，cause the soil to allow rainwater to sink in

D .make the topsoil stick together

Passage 3
樹木對於人來說有3個重要益處：樹木給人類提供木材和其他產物;樹木可以讓人們乘涼;樹木可有效地防止旱澇災害。
可惜的是，在世界上許多地方，人類沒有認識到以上三個作用中，第三個是最重要的。人們急切於從樹木上快速的謀取利益，於是大量的砍伐森林。
兩千年之前，有一個富裕和強大的國家。為了建立帝國，砍倒了樹木來造戰艦。帝國建立了，但是，沒有樹木的土地變得荒蕪和貧瘠。當帝國四分五裂的時候，整個國家發覺自己面臨的是水災和飢荒。 就算在政府認識到足夠的樹木儲備的重要性時，有時卻很難讓人民也意識到這點。人們砍倒了樹木，卻疏於種植和照料樹苗。因此，除非政府建立一套體制來控制或者教育人們，否則森林就會漸漸消失。
森林的消失不僅僅意味著樹木的減少，還有更嚴重的後果。在有樹的地方，樹根不僅把土壤粉碎成小塊，便於雨水的滲入，還可以牢牢的抓住泥土，防止泥土被沖刷走。但是在沒有書的地方，雨水直接落在堅硬的地面，在土地表面流走。這不僅會導致洪水，雨水還會帶走莊稼賴於生長的肥沃的表層土。當所有的表層土被沖走之後，除了毫無價值的沙漠之外，什麼也沒有了。
高中英語閱讀理解測試題 篇6
The global population is living longer，and getting older，閱讀理解答案
The global population is living longer，and getting older，which presents new challenges. 「The question becomes：who will take care of everyone While people will always be the best caregivers for people，there just aren』t enough people. That』s where robot17教育網：ic technology can really make a difference,」 says Professor Maja Mataric at the University of Southern California.
Her group is developing robots to work with stroke (中風) patients and elderly people. The research team has found that people react well to a robot gym instructor，and seem to get less frustrated with it than with instructions given on a computer screen. The robot can act as a perfect trainer，with infinite(極大的) patience.
「People say things like 『I prefer this robot to my husband!Can I take it home』」 according to Professor Mataric. 「In fact there』s a really important point here. As we create these care giving technologies，we』re helping not only the people that need the care，but also the people caring for them. We can give them a break，and help them avoid burnout.」
People are going to have to like，and importantly trust robots before they welcome them into their homes，and several groups around the world are working on making it easier to communicate with them.
Much of human communication takes place through body language. Gestures， eye contact , and concepts of personal space are all things that robots are being taught. In learning about how people interact(互動) with machines，researchers are also discovering new roles for robots in our lives. Robots can communicate with humans in ways that other technologies can not.
「If someone finds the robot to be more persuasive and more reliable，that』s going to affect how they interact with it,」 says Dr Cynthia Breazeal, director of the Personal Robots Group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 「We can now start to think about fields where it』s the social interaction，which is the main means by which a robot helps someone.」 Dr Breazeal says that means robots could be used in ecation，learning，and health care，where social support is important.
9.Professor Maja Mataric mainly focused on robots』 function of ________.
A.teaching B.exploring
C.making things D.giving care
10.Why can robots be wonderful trainers in the gym

全球人口的壽命越來越長，年齡越來越大，這帶來了新的挑戰。「問題變成了：誰來照顧每一個人，而人們永遠是最好的照顧者，只是人太少了。這就是機器人的問題。」教育網：南加州大學的Maja Mataric教授說，IC技術真的能起到作用。
她的團隊正在開發用於治療中風的機器人(中風) 病人和老年人。研究團隊發現，人們對機器人健身教練的反應很好，而且似乎對機器人健身教練的失望程度比對電腦屏幕上給出的指令要低。該機器人可以作為一個完美的教練，具有無限的靈活性(極大的) 耐心
馬塔里克教授說：「人們會說『比起我的丈夫，我更喜歡這個機器人！我能把它帶回家嗎』。」。「事實上，這里有一個非常重要的觀點。當我們創造這些護理技術時，我們不僅幫助了需要護理的人，也幫助了護理他們的人。我們可以讓他們休息一下，幫助他們避免精疲力竭。」
人們在歡迎機器人進入自己的家之前，必須喜歡機器人，更重要的是要信任機器人。世界各地的幾個組織正在努力讓機器人更容易與它們溝通。
人類的大部分交流都是通過肢體語言進行的。手勢、眼神交流和個人空間的概念都是機器人學習的內容。了解人們如何互動(互動) 有了機器，研究人員也發現了機器人在我們生活中的新角色。機器人可以用其他技術無法實現的方式與人類通信。
麻省理工學院個人機器人小組主任辛西婭·布雷澤爾博士說：「如果有人發現機器人更具說服力、更可靠，這將影響他們與機器人的互動方式。」。「我們現在可以開始思考社會互動的領域，這是機器人幫助他人的主要方式。」布雷澤爾博士說，這意味著機器人可以用於教育、學習和醫療保健，而在這些領域，社會支持非常重要。
高中英語閱讀理解測試題 篇7
英語閱讀答案
Here』s something to think about the next time you ask your teacher for help：trying hard to do schoolwork on your own can help you learn.According to a recent study，the more you try while you are learning new information，the better you can remember it later.
This might surprise you.When teachers are presenting new information，they often give students lots of help.But a new study shows this may not be the best way to support learning.「Don』t be too quick to get help when learning something new，」ecation expert Ma Kapur said.「Try to work on it yourself even if it means trying different ways.』』
Kapur came up with the idea that trying hard can lead to better learning.Then he tested it out on students in Singapore.He separated students into two groups.In the first group，students were asked to solve math problems with the teacher』s help.In the second group，students were asked to solve the same problems by helping one another，instead of getting help from the teacher.
With the teacher』s help，students in the first group were able to find the correct answers.Students in the second group did not solve the problems correctly.But they did come up with a lot of good ideas.
The students were then tested on what they had 1earned.The group without any help from a teacher scored much higher than the group who had help.Kapur said working to find the answers helped students understand the process(過程)，not just the solution.
Kapur』s advice for kids is to put a 1ot of effort(努力)into learning something new rather than going to your teacher for help.「Simply doing a little work or nothing at all won』t work.」says Kapur.「Try to solve a problem in as many ways as possible.』』
13.What is the best title for the text
A.Work Your Mind
B.Practice Makes Perfect
C.The Best Way to Learn
D.Teachers』 Role in Schoolwork
14.Manu Kapur holds that _______ .

下次你向老師求助時，有件事需要考慮：努力自學可以幫助你學習。根據最近的一項研究，你在學習新信息時嘗試得越多，你以後就能更好地記住它。
這可能會讓你大吃一驚。當老師在介紹新信息時，他們經常給學生很多幫助。但一項新的研究表明，這可能不是支持學習的最佳方式。教育專家馬卡普爾說：「學習新東西時，不要太快尋求幫助。」。「試著自己動手，即使這意味著嘗試不同的方式。」
卡普爾提出了努力學習可以帶來更好的學習的想法。然後他在新加坡的學生身上進行了測試。他把學生分成兩組。在第一組中，學生們被要求在老師的幫助下解決數學問題。在第二組中，學生們被要求通過互相幫助來解決同樣的問題，而不是從老師那裡得到幫助。
在老師的幫助下，第一組的學生能夠找到正確的答案。第二組的學生沒有正確地解決問題。但他們確實想出了很多好主意。
然後對學生們所學知識進行測試。沒有老師幫助的組比有老師幫助的組得分高得多。卡普爾說，努力尋找答案有助於學生理解這個過程(過程)，不僅僅是解決方案。
卡普爾給孩子們的建議是付出更多的努力(努力)學習新東西，而不是向老師尋求幫助。「簡單地做一點工作或什麼都不做是行不通的。」卡普爾說。「盡可能多地解決問題。」

2015上海英語高考真題閱讀理解
(A)
Look to many of history’s cultural symbols, and there you’ll find an ancestor of Frosty, the snowman in the movie Frozen. It appeared on some of the first postcards, starred in some of the earliest silent movies, and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos, dating all the way back to the 1800s. I discovered even more about one of humanity’s earliest forms of life art ring several years of research around the world.
For example, snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages, built with great skill and thought. At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky. It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art. Some were created by famous artists, including a 19-year-old Michelangelo, who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence, Italy, to build a snowman in his mansion’s courtyard.
The Miracle of 1511 took place ring six freezing weeks called the Winter of Death. The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen—an impressive scene that told stories on every street corner. Some were political in nature, criticizing the church and government. Some were a reflection of people’s imagination. For the people of Brussels, this was a defining moment of artistic freedom. At least until spring arrived, by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.
If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed, don’t worry: I’ve learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today. Every year since 1818, the people of Zurich, Switzerland, celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman. On the third Monday of April, the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds. The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood. After the bells of the Church of St. Peter have rung six times, representing the passing of winter, the pile is lit. When the snowman explodes, winter is considered officially over—the quicker it is burnt down, the longer summer is said to be.
66. According to the passage, why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages?
A. People thought of snow as holy art supplies.
B. People longed to see masterpieces of snow.
C. Building snowmen was a way for people to express themselves.
D. Building snowmen helped people develop their skill and thought.
67. “The heyday of the snowman” (paragraph 4) means the time when___________.
A. snowmen were made mainly by artists
B. snowmen enjoyed great popularity
C. snowmen were politically criticized
D. snowmen caused damaging floods
68. In Zurich, the blowing up of the Boogg symbolizes__________________.
A. the start of the parade
B. the coming of a longer summer
C. the passing of the winter
D. the success of tradesmen
69. What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage?
A. They were appreciated in history
B. They have lost their value
C. They were related to movies
D. They vary in shape and size
參考答案：66. C 67. B 68. C 69. A

Scary Bunny
The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) is the first full-length feature film made by directors Nick Park and Steve Box with their amazing plasticine (粘土) characters Wallace and Gromit. It won an Oscar in 2006, and if you watch it, you’ll understand why. It’s an absolutely brilliant cartoon comedy.
Cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his brainy dog Gromit have started a company to protect the town’s vegetables from hungry rabbits. However, just before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition, an enormous rabbit begins terrorising the town. It is attacking all the vegetables and destroying everything in its path. The competition organizer, Lady Tottington, hires Wallace and Gromit to catch the monster alive. But they will have to find the were-rabbit before gun-crazy hunter Victor Quartermaine who is desperate to kill it.
The screenplay is witty and full of amusing visual jokes. As usual, the voice of Peter Sallis is absolutely perfect for the role of Wallace, and Gromit is so beautifully brought to life, he can express a huge range of emotions without saying a word. And both Helena Bonham-Carter, who plays the part of Lady Tottington, and Ralph Fiennes as Victor are really funny.
To sum up, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is an amazing film which is suitable for both children and alts. If you liked Wallace and Gromit’s previous adventures and you appreciate the British sense of humour, you’ll love this film. Don’t miss it!

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項中，選出最佳選項，並在答題卡上將該項塗黑。
A(words:296&230)
Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict(迷),” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled(皺的).” Today David wears casual clothes — khaki pants and a sports shirt — to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the changes from formal to casual office wear have been slow. In the early 1990s,many companies allowed their workers to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday).This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for workers has really become an everyday thing,” said business adviser Maisly Jones.?
Why have so many companies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new workers if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more proctive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study made by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that casual dress has a side effect on work. Supporters of casual office wear also say that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”
41.David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict” because ______________.
A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt
B. he couldn't stand a clean appearance
C. he wanted his clothes to look tidy and clean all the time
D. he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes
42. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because ______________.
A. they make him feel at ease when working
B. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes
C. he looks handsome in casual clothes
D. he no longer works for any company
43. According to this passage, which of the following is FALSE?
A. Many workers don’t like a conservative dress code.
B. Comfortable clothes make workers more proctive.
C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young workers.
D. All the employers in the U.S. are for casual office wear.
44. According to this passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.
B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.
C. “Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.
D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.
45. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT ______________.
A. saving worker’s money
B. making workers more attractive
C. improving worker’s feeling
D. making workers happier

I found out one time 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(解散). As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (負責任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized(強調) the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating(欺騙) themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously(認真地) 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 if I was ing answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued(繼續) to believe that I had cheated on the test.

People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June.
Mother’s Day was proclaimed a day for national observance by President Woodrow Wilson in 1915. Ann Jarvis from Grafton, West Virginia, had started the idea to have a day to honor mothers. She was the one who chose the second Sunday in May and also began the custom of wearing a carnation.
In 1909, Mrs. Dodd from Spokane, Washington, thought of the idea of a day to honor fathers. She wanted to honor her own father, William Smart. After her mother died, he had the responsibility of raising a family of five sons and a daughter. In 1910, the first Father’s Day was observed in Spokane. Senator Margaret Chase Smith helped to established Father’s Day as a national commemorative day, in 1972.
These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and ecate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead.Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery.

H. 高中英語考試閱讀理解的解題技巧
高中英語考試閱讀的4個解題技巧
1、閱讀積累
要提高閱讀水平，詞彙量與短語量非常重要。所以要提高閱讀水平，我們就得學會積累詞語。我們不妨這么做：在通讀全文後看第二遍，遇到生詞盡可能根據上下文來猜，仍猜不出意思的，就查詞典，然後將這些詞抄寫在一本可隨身攜帶的小本子上。
每當有空時，就拿出這個小本子來背誦記憶。這樣做不但不費時，而且效果也很好。因為不時地接觸、反復地記憶，詞彙量會增加得很快。
2、根據上下文猜測詞義
猜測詞義也是一種英語閱讀能力。英語閱讀理解試題中有不少這樣的題目。任何一個實詞，只有在一定的上下文中才能表示一個確定的詞義。
上下文的作用就是幫助確定上下文中的詞、短語或句子的意義。據此，我們可以盡可能地利用上下文來猜測詞義，即從已知推求未知，也就是用我們所熟悉的詞或短語來猜測我們不熟悉的詞的詞義。
猜測詞義時，我們可以從三個方面來考慮：1)根據上下文已知部分進行邏輯上的推理。根據上下文猜測詞義的方法有下列幾種：根據定義或解釋猜測詞義;根據並列、同位關系猜測詞義;根據同義、反義、因果關系猜測詞義。
2)運用語法知識進行語法分析。3)依靠常識和經驗做出判斷。
3、尋找出處，對號入座
由於閱讀填表題要以所讀材料為依據，在通常情況下，每個空格的所填內容一般可從給定材料中找到出處或依據，在做題時要充分利用這一特點，將“空格”與“出處”對號入座，然後根據表格中已有信息的表現形式，准確填出所缺內容。
同時，值得注意的是，如果表格所填信息與原文中的“出處”基本相同，則可直接對號入座;如果表格信息與原文中的“出處”有較大出入，則要進行適當的轉換。
4、邏輯推理，做好深層理解題
在實際閱讀中，有時作者並未把意圖說出來，閱讀者要根據字面意思，通過語篇邏輯關系，研究細節的暗示，推敲作者的態度，理解文章的寓義。要求讀者對文字的表面信息進行分析、挖掘和邏輯推理，不能就事論事，以偏概全。推理題在提問中常用的詞有：infer,imply,suggest,indicate等。
高中英語閱讀練習材料：Profession
Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is“Don‟t!”.But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act，although the chances of his becoming famous are slim. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama sch001.Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted，and the course lasts two years.Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a theatrical company(劇團)，usually as an assistant stage manager This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre and occasionally acting in very small parts It is very hard work indeed，the hours are long and the salary is tiny.
Of course，some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and Success without this long and hard training.Connie Pratt，for example，was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory.A film procer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop，as he drove past in his car.He stopped and got out to speak to the girl.He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test，and she thought he was joking Then she got angry and said she would call the police It took the procer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious The test was successful.And within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day But chances like this happen once in a blue moon
36 From the very beginning，the author puts it clearly that acting is a profession __A____
A sought after by too many B.too difficult for young people
C.for slim people only D.one can go into without special training
37.For someone who feels he must act，it is very likely that _D____
A.he will become a film star at long last B he will become a stage manager
C he will be well paid D.he will end up without any Success
38.The film procer found Connie Pratt one morning when she was __D__

C.going to a film studio D.waiting for a bus
39.A few weeks after the test.Connie Pratt found herself __B____
A the most famous actress of the world B.playing the leading female role in a play
C.as famous as the greatest actor of the world D.no less famous than the leading actor of the day
40 The concluding sentence “chances like this happen once in a blue moon” means D
A this is something which happens once in a while B.this is a highly profitable chance
C.this is something highly possible D this is a very rare chance
演藝界是一個人口密度過高的職業。對於想登上舞台的年輕人的唯一建議就是不要進入。但是想勸阻那些明知成功的機會很渺茫卻執意要做演員的人，這種說教是無用的。要做演員通常辦法就是去戲劇學院進修。通常這里只接受有前途和有天賦的學生，課程要花2年的時間。之後，年輕的女藝人或者男藝人以舞台助理的身份，參與到劇團的工作。這意味著要做和舞台相關的.所有事務和偶爾的跑龍套。這確實是很辛苦的工作，工作時間長，薪水又少的可憐。
當然，有些人沒有經過長期辛苦訓練，而是是通過不尋常的機會就獲得了聲望和成功。例如說，Connie Pratt原本是自行車廠的一個普通女工。某個早晨她在公車站等車的時候被一個開車路過的電影製作人看中了。製作人停車出來和她交談，問她是否願意來攝影棚試鏡。Connie認為他只是在開玩笑罷了。最後她生氣了，還威脅說要叫警察。最後製作人花了20分鍾的時間讓Connie相信他是認真的。試鏡很成功。幾個星期之後，她就作為女主角和當時很有名的一個男演員在一部戲中演對手戲了。但是，類似這樣的機會少之又少啊。
高中英語閱讀練習材料：Travel
Most people usually traveled by ship and train which are driven by steam engine. It played an important part in many kinds of vehicles several scores of years ago. Who invented steam engine and what units could be used to measure the power of engine?
The word “horse-power” was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt from a worker‟s family made the world first widely used steam engine. At first, he couldn‟t tell people how powerful it was, because there were no units at that time. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He named that unit one horse-power. In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine.
He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horse-power engine.
31. The main idea of the passage is __B_.
A. James Watt invented the steam engine
B. James Watt first used horse-power as a unit of measure
C. how much power does a horse have
D. why Watt‟s engine is called a ten horse-power engine

One should be moderate(適度) in all things. Moderation is always the safest way to do things and a virtue(品質)we should have. Let's take the student life for example. There are some students who study too hard and play too little, while there are others who play too much and study too little. On one hand, it is harmful to his health if he has too few exercises, and on the other hand, it is harmful to his mind if he plays too much.
In the matter of eating, one also should be moderate. Do not eat too much or too little. Too much eating will make you sick, while too little eating will make you weak.
The man of progress is he who neither has too high an opinion of himself nor thinks too poorly of himself. If a man thinks too highly of himself, he is sure to become very proud, but if he has too poor an opinion of himself, he will have no courage to make an advance. Both the conditions above will make you lose your advancing aim. A broadminded man is he who always moves within the orbit (軌道)of reasonableness. Whether in any activities in life, moderation is one of the best ways to enjoy real happiness.

future
Scientists around the world have been studying the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean known as El Nino. The appearance of El Nino is known to affect the weather around the world. Scientists still do not completely understand it. Yet they now find they can use it to tell about the future in different areas of the world.
One example is the work of two scientists at Columbia University in New York, Mark Cane and Gordon Eshel. A scientist of Zimbabwe, Roger Buckland worked with them. They have found that when El Nino appears, Zimbabwe has little or no rain. This means corn crops in Zimbabwe are poor. The last El Nino was in 1991 to 1993.That was when southeastern Africa suffered a serious lack of rain.
The scientists wrote about their recent work in the publication Nature. Their computer program can tell when an El Nino will develop up to a year before it does. They suggest that this could provide an effective early warning system for southern Africa, and could prevent many people from starving.
