『壹』 英語二2021年真題解析-閱讀2 糧食自給自足

Text 2 英國糧食自給自足的模式

本文討論了:英國糧食自給自足的模式。無法滿足國內需求的問題，文章開篇提出，人口激增引發人們對糧食安全的關注，英國也不例外，隨後引述一些人。關於恢復自給自足的觀點，並借利茲大學的報告核對英國土地特徵的分析，指出自給自足模式無法滿足國內對肉類，奶製品以及農作物的需求。

第1段：糧食安全日益成為關注焦點。

1、表原因【 With the global population predicted to hit close to 10 billion by 2050 ,and forecasts{ that agricultural proction in some regions will need to nearly double to keep pace}】, food security is increasingly making headlines.

隨著世界人口的預測，將要在2025年達到近10億人，而且預測農業的食品生產在一些地區將會達到兩倍的需求量，才能保持速度食品安全增加已經成為了一個頭條。

2、In the UK,it has become a big talking point recently too,for a rather particular reason: Brexit.

最近在英國，由於脫歐這個相當特殊的理由，他也成為了一個熱門的話題。

第2段：恢復自給自足的願景

Brexit is seen by some as an opportunity {to reverse are recent trend}{ towards the UK importing food.} 有一些認為英國脫歐是一個機會對於扭轉進口食品的趨勢

The country proces only about 60 per cent of the food it eats, down from almost three-quarters in the late 1980s.該國的糧食產量只佔其消費量的60%比20世紀世紀80年代末的75%更低

⭐A move back to self-sufficiency, the argument goes, would boost the farming instry, political sovereignty and even the nation's health.到自給自足的模式，將會推動農業發展、強化政治主權，甚至能夠提高國民健康。

Sounds great - but how feasible is this vision ?聽起來很棒但這一願景的可行性度如何呢

第3段：英國國內對肉類和奶製品的所有需求無法得到滿足。

⭐According to a report on UK food proction from the University of Leeds ,85 percent of the country's total land area is associated with meat and dairy proction.

根據報告對英國食品的生產來自於倫敦大學，在英國85%的鄉村整個的土地，連接著食物和牛奶的生產。

That supplies 80 percent of what is consumed,so even covering the whole country in livestock farms wouldnt allow us to cover all our meat and dairy needs.

但他也只供應了消費總量的80%，所以即便全國都布滿畜牧場，也無法滿足人們對肉類與奶製品的所有需求。

第4段：

There are many caveats to those figures, but they are still grave.盡管對這些數據有不少的預先聲明但形式依然嚴峻

To become much more self-sufficient, the UK would need to drastically rece its consumption of animal foods,and probably also farm more intensively—meaning fewer green fields,and more factory-style proction.  第2題干擾項出處

為了能夠更加的自給自足，英國需要大幅度的減少動物食品的消費，可能還需要加強集約式耕作，這意味著綠地減少，工廠化生產增加。

第5段

But switching to a mainly plant-based diet wouldn't help. 不過轉向素食為主的飲食也無濟於事

⭐There is a good reason why the UK is dominated by animal husbandry: most of its terrain doesn't have the right soil or climate to grow crops on a commercial basis.

英國之所以以畜牧業為主，是有其充分理由的英國大部分的土地，沒有合適的土壤和氣候來進行商業種植。

Just 25 percent of the country's land is suitable for crop-growing,most of which is already occupied by arable fields.只有25%的國土師和種植農作物其中大部分已經備耕地佔用

Even if we converted all the suitable land to fields of fruit and veg—which would involve taking out all he nature reserves and removing thousands of people from their homes—we would achieve only a 30 percent boost in crop proction .即使我們將所有適宜種植的土地改造，包括所有的自然保護區，使成千上萬的人千離家園，也只能實現農作物增長30%。

第6段

⭐Just 23 percent of the fruit and vegetables consumed in the UK are currently home-grown,so even with the most extreme measures we could meet only 30 per cent of our fresh proce needs.    目前英國消費的水果和蔬菜只有23%是本土種植的

That is before we look for the space to grow the grains,sugars, seeds and oils that provide us with the vast bulk of our current calorie intake

.因此即使採取了極端的措施，在尋找空間種植穀物糖類種子，這些目前我們提供大部分熱量的食物之前，我們也只能滿足30%的新鮮農產品的需求。

Whenever a gentleman came in with a lady, a smiling waiter gave each of them a menu(菜單), The menu looked exactly the same on the outside, but there was an important difference inside. The menu that the waiter gave to the man supplied the correct price for each dish and each bottle of wine. while the menu that he gave to the lady supplied a much higher price!

高考英語閱讀理解試題【2】

When you look at yourself in the mirror, do you ever wonder why you look the way you do? Do you also wonder what biological processes were at work to shape your face, which is as indivial and unique as a fingerprint?

The answer is in a little piece of your DNA called a gene enhancer(增強片段),according to scientists at Berkeley Lab. These little pieces6 of DNA help switch on or boost the expression of specific genes, that control the development of the face and head before birth. What's interesting about these little influential bits of DNA is that a gene enhancer doesn't have to be found anywhere close to the genes and, in some cases, doesn't even have to be located on the same chromosome.

Of course, there are a number of hereditary(遺傳) factors which help determine appearance, for example, a child resembles a parent. The researchers, who outlined their findings in the journal Science, said the gene enhancer adjusts the genes to give your face its final unique look. Even with look similar but are not exactly the same in appearance.

"Our results suggest that there are thousands of enhancers in the human genome that are involved in facial development," said Axel Visel, a geneticist with Berkeley Lab's Genomics Division, who led the research. "We don't know yet what all of these enhancers do, but we do know that they are out there and they are important for facial development."

Scientists have previously been able to identify some of the genetic faults that can cause birth defects, such as a cleft lip(兔唇), but haven't been able to fully understand what genetic factors are responsible for subtle differences in appearance.

26. The author put forward two questions at the beginning of the passage to ________.

A. expect readers to answer them

B. carry out a survey among readers

C. start a discussion among readers

D. draw readers attention to the topic

27. From Paragraph 3, we know that________.

A. identical twins look similar but not exactly the same

B. hereditary factors determine our appearance completely

C. a child resembles a parent because of afterbirth factors

D. the gene enhancer is something useless and unimportant

28. The underlined word "subtle" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to"___________".

A. not a little

C. not small B. not a bit D. not obvious

29. According to the passage, which statement is NOT true?

A. A cleft lip is a kind of birth defects which are caused by genetic faults.

B. Genetic faults can not be identified and fully understood with today's technology.

C. Gene enhancers have something to do with the facial development according to the research

D. The relation between genetic factors and subtle differences in appearance remains a mystery.

30. Which part of a website is the passage probably taken from?

A. Culture.

C. Science.

B. Opinion. D. Business.

高考英語閱讀理解試題【3】

Grown- ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.

In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star”and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.

The multiplication tables (乘法口訣表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突擊學習) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.

1. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?

A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.

B. Children have a better memory than grown- ups

C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.

D. Stories for children are easy to remember. 2. The author explains the law of overlearning by.

A. presenting research findings

B. setting down general rules

C. making a comparison

D. using examples

3. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is

A. a result of overlearning

B. a special case of cramming

C. a skill to deal with math problems

D. a basic step towards advanced studies

4. What is the author’s opinion on cramming?

A. It leads to failure in college exams.

B. It’s helpful only in a limited way.

C. It’s possible to result in poor memory. D. It increases students’learning interest.

『叄』 英語閱讀理解模擬試題及答案

英語閱讀理解模擬試題及答案

下面是我收集的關於英語四級的閱讀理解模擬試題及答案解析，歡迎大家閱讀練習!

第一篇：

Henry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, “The business of America is business.” By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world.

Few would argue with Ford’s statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much peoplein the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations arereported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as “the entertainment instry” or “show business.”

The positive side of Henry Ford’s statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are proced in abundance (大量地) because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system crates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.

The negative side of Henry Ford’s statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to meanbig business. And the term big business—referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizing—the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high—creates feelings of insecurity for many.

練習題：

Choose correct answers to the question:

1. The United States is a typical country ________.

A. which encourages free trade at home and abroad

B. where people’s chief concern is how to make money

C. where all businesses are managed scientifically

D. which normally works according to the federal budget

2. The influence of business in the U.S. is evidenced by the fact that ________.

A. most newspapers are run by big businesses

B. even public organizations concentrate on working for profits

C. Americans of all professions know how to do business

D. even arts and entertainment are regarded as business

3. According to the passage, immigrants choose to settle in the U.S., dreaming that ________.

A. they can start profitable businesses there

B.they can be more competitive in business

C. they will make a fortune overnight there

D. they will find better chances of employment

4. Henry Ford’s statement can be taken negatively because ________.

A. working people are discouraged to fight for their fights

B. there are many instries controlled by a few big capitalists

C. there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and labor

D. public services are not run by the federal government

5. A company’s efforts to keep expenses low and profits high may result in ________.

A. rection in the number of employees

B. improvement of working conditions

C. fewer disputes between labor and management

D. a rise in workers’wages

第二篇：

It is easier to negotiate initial salary requirement because once you are inside, the organizational constraints (約束) influence wage increases. One thing, however, is certain: your chances of getting the raise you feel you deserve are less if you don’t at least ask for it. Men tend to ask for more, and they get more, and this holds true with other resources, not just pay increases. Consider Beth’s story:

I did not get what I wanted when I did not ask for it. We had cubicle (小隔間) offices and window offices.I sat in the cubicles with several male colleagues. One by one they were moved into window offices, while I remained in the cubicles, several males who were hired after me also went to offices. One in particular told me he was next in line for an office and that it had been part of his negotiations for the job. I guess they thought me content to stay in the cubicles since I did not voice my opinion either way.

It would be nice if we all received automatic pay increases equal to our merit, but “nice” isn’t a quality attributed to most organizations. If you feel you deserve a significant raise in pay, you’ll probablyhave to ask for it.

Performance is your best bargaining chip (籌碼) when you are seeking a raise. You must be able to demonstrate that you deserve a raise. Timing is also a good bargaining chip. If you can give your boss something he or she needs (a new client or a sizable contract, for example) just before merit pay decisions are beingmade, you are more likely to get the raise you want.

Use information as a bargaining chip too. Find out what you are worth on the open market. What will someone else pay for your services?

Go into the negotiations prepared to place your chips on the table at the appropriate time and prepared touse communication style to guide the direction of the interaction.

練習題：

2.[D] 事實細節題。第2段大量列舉了 business的影響的例子，特別是根據最後一句“藝術和娛樂界就常被稱為‘娛樂業’或‘展覽業’ ”可知D正確，而A、B、C均與原文信息不符。

3.[D] 事實細節題。第3段第2句談到“如此多的人從世界各地來美國生活，其最重要的原因之一就是夢想找到一份更好的工作”，故選D。

4.[C] 推理判斷題。本文第4段是在講Henry Ford的.言論的消極面，根據該段中的the biggest companies... in opposition to labor可看出C與之相符，故選C。

5.[A] 事實細節題。根據文章的最後一句，可知downsizing—the laying off of thousands of workers正是一些公司節約成本提高利潤的手段，A為原文該句的同義改寫，故選A。

第二篇：

1.[D] 推理判斷題。根據文章第1句。開頭立論：“It is easier to negotiate initial salary requirement在進入公司以前就談妥你的最初工資要求要更容易些”。因此，在接受一份工作前應該先提出期望薪金要求，即D。注意C中as much…as he can意思太絕對，不妥。

2.[B] 推理判斷題。Beth的故事是為了證明第1段提出的觀點，主要依據第2段第1句，第3段最後一句再次印證。核心詞為ask for。

3.[A] 推理判斷題。從Beth的故事中不難總結出：如果你要求加薪或提升，你可能就會得到滿足;你如果不要求，老闆就可能不予考慮。因此在salary increase中含有很大的主觀因素，故而unfair。直接依據為第3段第1句。

4.[D] 事實細節題。根據倒數第3段，performance“工作表現”，timing“抓住時機”和information“利用信息”是加薪的三大籌碼。D與其中對timing的闡述一致。

5.[C] 事實細節題。最後一段指出，帶著准備好的籌碼去跟老闆商談加薪，並在合適的時候拿出來,而且要運用一定的交際手段引導談判的發展方向，即C。注意其中place your chips on the table at the appropriate time “在適當的時候拿出籌碼”不等於A中的meet his boss at the appropriate time。

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

D .make the topsoil stick together

答案：DCCCB

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.

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 _______ .

A.it』s necessary for students to ask for teachers』 help

B.students should try to solve problems by themselves

C.students with teachers』 help have more good ideas

D.students in the first group are cleverer than those in the second group

15.The author develops the text mainly by _________ .

A. presenting research findings

B. comparing different opinions

C. showing scientific information

D. setting down general rules

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。」

People used to say, “The hand that rocks (搖) the cradle (搖籃) rules the world.” and “Behind every successful man there is a woman.”

Both these sayings mean the same thing. Men rule the world, but their mothers and wives rule them..

Most American women wish to make their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want more for themselves. They want good jobs. When they work they want to be better paid. They want to be as successful as men.

The American women’s liberation movement was started by women who didn’t want to stand behind successful men. They wanted to stand beside men, with the same chance for success. They refused to work side by side with men who do the same work for a higher pay.

A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and have confidence (自信) in herself. If somebody says to her, “You have come a long way, baby.” she will smile and answer, “Not nearly as far as I’m going to go, baby!”

This movement is quite new, and many American women don’t agree yet. But it has already made some important changes in women’s lives--- in men’s lives, too.

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

第一篇：

Martin Lynch, an American businessman, had been going on vacation to a small Mexican fishing village for a number of ears. One morning while going for a walk along the beach, he saw his friend Pablo Perez, a local fisherman. Martin watched Pablo unload his boat and pack the fish in a box.

Martin noticed Pablo was smiling and looked very happy. He could also see several large fish in the boat. Martin greeted Pablo and asked how long it took to catch the fish. “Just a few hours,” replied Pablo. Martin asked, “Why didn’t you stay longer and catch more fish?” “I have enough for my family,” Pablo said. “And what do you do with the rest of your day?” asked Martin. “I take a nap, play with my children, spend time with my wife, and go into the village to see my friends and play cards, I have a full and busy life.” Martin explained that if Pablo worked longer hours and caught more fish, he could make more money. With the extra money, Pablo could buy more boats and catch money more fish. By selling the fish, Pablo could open his own factory and sell direct to supermarkets.

“Then what?” asked Pablo. “Well you would probably have to move to Mexico City to run the business. Finally, you would be able to sell your business and make millions of dollars,” replied Martin. “How long will that take?” asked Pablo.

Martin thought for a while and said it would probably take at least 15 years. “And then what” asked Pablo.

“Well, that’s the best part,” Martin said. “You will be able to retire, buy a house near the ocean, sleep longer, play with your children, spend more time with your wife, see your friends, and play cards.”

第二篇：

Chuck Wall teaches management and human relations at Bakersfield College. He walked into class one day and told his students that their homework was to perform one act of random(任意的) kindness. His students did not understand the homework and didn’t know what to do, but the professor would not answer their questions. He encouraged his students to work it out for themselves.

One week later, the students entered the classroom excited to share their stories. One student told of giving away blankets to the homeless. Another reported on helping a dog to find its owner, and another student had been trying to find a long, lost friend. Students were energized (給予活力) by the homework assignment and wanted other people to be kind too. With the support of local businesses, the students made stickers to put on cars that invited people to do something kind for others. They sold the stickers and decided to donate the money to a center for the blind---not surprising as Professor Wall is blind.

Since then, similar kindness activities have been started in schools around the world. Many schools organize a Random Acts of Kindness Week, around November 13th, to celebrate World Kindness Day. Some schools use each day of Random Acts of Kindness Week to perform a different kind act, such as making a new friend, helping someone, doing community service, or raising money for a charity. Students learn to consider other people and thank about how small actions can make the world a better place.

61. The professor’s homework was to ask his students _________.

A. to write about kindness. B. to be kind to strangers

C. to spend time helping other D. to go out to raise money

62. We learn from the passage that ________.

【小題1】本文一開始就提出兩個問題引出本文的話題，志願者服務機構常問的問題。所以回答By
raising
/
putting
forward
questions.
【小題2】在教室里或者書本上讀一種技巧遠不如在做志願者的工作中實踐一種技能更高效。前面的名詞是skill
，所以這里的it應該是指A
skill。
【小題3】文章第五段提到做志願者在幫助他人的同時，自己也學會了很多的知識技能，如團隊合作，發現自己的特長等。所以做志願者是不僅給予而且收獲。所以回答Because
a

not

and

【小題4】根據Anybody

serve
people
in

need
can
become
a
volunteer.
意為：任何人只要想幫助需要幫助的人都可以成為志願者。
【小題5】根據全文內容，尤其是第二段可知，本文的主題的西方的志願者服務的情況。所以最佳題目是Volunteer
Service
in
the
West。
考點：任務性閱讀。
