科学的英语阅读理解
① 一道英语阅读题，百思不得其解，求解答
选b不选c
原因，第三抄段的 倒数两行 意思是 批判性思维的过程是和长久记忆的事实知识相辅相成的 也就是说 critical thingking和knowledge谁也离不开谁
题干c的意思是 技能是获得知识的根本 文章中 关于skill，aquire的定位出现在第二段第二行 技能战胜了知识 言外之意是技能重要 但是 第三段的evidence已经把技能的重要性否定啦
所以c选项是错的
不造这样解释你能理解嘛
技能不能离开知识 和 技能是知识的根本 不是一个意思 技能和知识的关系是相辅相成

高考英语阅读理解的解题方法及提分技巧2017
高考近在眼前，如何合理利用时间使高考备考达到最好的效果，是广大考生最关心的问题之一，阅读理解所占高考英语分数比例是比较大，因此想要稳定高考英语成绩，就要提高阅读理解的解题能力，下面为各位同学整理高考英语阅读理解的解题方法及考试分析。下面是我为大家带来的高考英语阅读理解的解题方法及提分技巧的知识，欢迎阅读。
高考英语阅读理解考试分析
一、阅读理解考什么和怎么考
从以上统计中我们看出 ,高考对考生在获取信息和处理信息的速度上是有要求的 ,而且这一要求在逐年提高。从目前的统计数字看 ,高考阅读量还有提高的余地。最新的高中课程标准对合格高中毕业生阅读外语速度的要求是每分钟 70 - 80 个词。
其次 ,阅读理解文章的题材和体裁也更加多样化 ,更贴近生活。每份试题中至少有十几个单词标中文注释 ,除此之外 ,还有一些课本里没有出现过的词需要学生从文章的上下文中去猜词义。另外 ,近几年来高考英语阅读理解试题中增加了“搜寻信息”的考查内容。例如 ,1996 年试题 E阅读给出了 3 个赛事的通知 ,其后的第 70 小题就是这方面的考查内容:If youwant to find something to do for Saturday afternoon ,which telephone number will you call ?总的来说 ,高考英语篇章阅读理解试题对
考生提出了如下的能力要求:
1.丰富的英语词语知识和巩固、扎实、熟练的英语语法知识。
2.综合运用各项英语基础知识和阅读技巧 ,进行快速阅读、获取信息的能力。
3.正确的阅读方法、科学的阅读技巧及合理的阅读速度 达到大纲规定的要求 70 - 80wpm 。
4.正确分析认识文章结构 ,理解各段落、各层次之间的逻辑关系和表达的方法。
5.良好的学习品质 ,敏捷的思维活动 ,正确的思考习惯。要求学生善于捕捉信息 ,理解深刻 ,推导合理 ,判断准确。
6.丰富的阅历 ,广博的知识 ,多样的背景知识。
阅读理解的能力要求 ,主要是通过短文后的多项选择试题进行检测的。总体来说 ,其能力要求内容主要包括如下几个方面:a 理解作者的思想、观点 ,意图;b 理解主题思想 ,进行总结概括;c 理解文章中所提供的细节 ,其中包括词义、句义和段落大意。d 透过表面文字 ,挖掘和理解文章的深层次含义。通过分析对比 ,总结归纳 ,推理判断等诸项思维活动 ,推导隐含的寓意。从历年的高考试题来看这种能力要求反映在多项选择题中 ,可分为:1 认定事实 ,理解主题;2 理解文章中所提供的细节 ,综合概括并推导结论;3 推理判断 ,联想猜测 ,辨别语气;4 理解人物性格 ,识别图形等。如果把这些试题的考查内容概括起来;基本上分为4 类试题: ①猜测词义试题: ②理解认定事实试题 直接理解和语义转换理解 ; ③归纳概括试题; ④推理判断题。
二、历年高考的阅读理解分析
阅读中的难点主要可以分为 3 类：生词、长而复杂句子、英美文化障碍。
(1) 猜测生词词义：阅读中碰到生词时，首先应根据句子的意思判断出此单词的词性及其感情色彩和其在句子中所充当的成分;然后根据我们平常所学的构词法知识，联系上下文和平时积累的常识，来推测这个单词的意义。并且猜测单词时，没有必要猜测出其准确的意义，只要能猜出其大概意义即可。
① 根据构词法猜测词义：我们所学过的构词法主要有 3 种：派生法、转化法和合成法。
Most seaweed is red and brown in color. (seaweed由sea与weed合成，意为“海草”)
Invariably the background was the same. (invariably由in + vary + able + ly 构成，意为“不可改变地”)
You’ll be punished if you desert rubbish everywhere. (desert 由名词 desert 转化而成，意为“丢弃”)
② 根据上下文的语境猜测词义：我们可利用定义、解释、重述、用途、同义词、反义词、同义结构、反义结构及逻辑关系来猜测单词。
Insects would make it impossible for us to live in the world; they would devour all our crops and kill our flocks and herds. (由 devour 与后面动词 kill的并列结构得知 devour 意为“毁坏”)
Wood and skins have easily rotted away, but stone doesn’t decay. (根据 but 的反义结构可知 decay 意为“腐烂”)
③ 根据常识猜测词义：我们可根据所学的知识及生活经验来猜测单词。
His name was Napoleon Bonaparte, and he finally became Emperor of France. (由常识“拿破仑是法国的皇帝”可知 Emperor 意为“皇帝”)
Modern alpinists try to climb mountains by a route which will give them good sport. (由句子的'意义可看出 alpinist 意为“把登山作为体育运动的人”)
(2) 分析理解长而难的句子：英语文章中，有时为了使表达准确、语言严谨，往往采用插入语、分隔结构、倒装结构、同位结构、省略结构、分词结构及 it 的句型再加上并列复合句、主从复合句，使句子很长而结构纷繁复杂，给阅读理解带来了很大的困难。然而，考生们不要慌张，对于这类句子应从句子的层次入手，先抓主句的主干，即：主、谓、宾、补、状，再理清其枝叶，即从句及其他修饰成分。如：
It is animals and plants that lived in or near water whose remains are most likely to be preserved, for one of the necessary conditions of preservation is quick burial, and it is only in the seas and rivers, and sometimes lakes, where mud and silt(淤泥) have been continuously deposited(沉积), that bodies and the like can be rapidly covered over and preserved.
这个句子是由 and 连接两个强调句型的并列句。第 1 个并列句子的主句为：It is animals and plants that lived in or near water，它的后面带了一个原因状语从句：for one of the necessary conditions of preservation is quick burial，而句子中whose所引导的句子是一个定语从句，隔位修饰前面的animals and plants 而不是 water;第 2 个并列句子的主句为：it is only in the seas and rivers, and sometimes lakes that bodies and the like can be rapidly covered over and preserved，而 where 所引导的句子为定语从句，对前面的the seas and rivers, and sometimes lakes 进行修饰。
通过上面的分析，这个长而复杂的句子也就不难理解：那些它们的尸体很可能被保存起来的动物和植物正是生活在水边或水里，因为，被保存的一个必要条件就是被迅速掩埋;也只有在海里或河里，有时在湖里，这些地方由于泥沙不停地沉积，尸体及此类东西才很快被掩埋，从而得到保存。
(3) 消除英美文化障碍：虽然，对英美文化的了解是一个长时间的积累过程，但是，对于具体的文化障碍，我们可以从上下文的语境中去理解，或通过中西方文化的比较或用生活的常识加以分析理解。如：
These days, it is differences in national regulations, far more than tariffs that put sand in the wheels of trade between rich countries. (大家知道，自行车轮胎若粘满了泥沙，车就不能前进，那么，put sand in the wheels of trade 就意味着“阻碍贸易的进行”)
高考英语阅读理解答题技巧
一、根据文体特征，快速抓住要点
在上一节的知识必备中，我们讲到了英语中各种不同文体的特征。考生在英语考试中，就可以运用这方面的知识，根据文章的不同体裁的写作方法，迅速提取文章的信息。
二、紧抓主题句，快速理解全文
无论是读书，还是看报纸，我们首先见到的就是一篇文章的标题。标题往往是文章中心的高度浓缩;标题是一篇文章的纲，统帅全文。它是我们藉以了解文章的内容、作者的写作目的和意图的窗口。一般说来，我们只要读懂了标题，就基本上把握了文章阅读理解方向。
英语文章一般是按“总—分—总”这样一种思路来写的，也就是说，文章的第 1 句或第 2 句 多半为“总写”，为文章的主题句(topic sentence)，后面的文字就围绕它展开论述;而最后一句(尾句)或倒数第 2 句，就是在论述的基础上进行总结，得出结论或发出感慨。同样，往往每一段的第 1 句 又为这一段的主题句;末尾的句子又为这一段的结论。因此，在一定程度上考生可以从首尾句入手，推测全文的内容，从而迅速理解全文。当然，有些文章的主题句并不在句子的首、尾，而在文章的中间;有的文章甚至没有主题句，这就要求考生灵活处理。
三、快速浏览全文，抓住事实和细节
事实是作者的思想和观点的有力证据，是作者所写文章的重要依据。而细节是使文章连成整体的主要手段，是使文章充满活力的重要方式。换句话说，事实和细节是文章的血和肉。不论事件多么惊人，也不论观点如何新奇，若没有事实和细节，这篇文章就显得空洞无力。高考中，很多问题就是考查考生对事实和细节的把握，因此，考生在了解了文体特点和通过文章首尾句掌握了文章的中心和主要内容的基础上，必须快速浏览全文，抓住文中的事实和细节。并且在浏览的过程中，考生应根据短文后面的问题和选项，将与之有关的事实和细节用笔一一画出，且标明其题的序号，以便研究答题。
四、抓住相关词语，快速弄清作者的思想
相关词语分为两大类：其一是关键词，即名词、动词、数词和形容词等实词，根据这些词语就能够看出句子或文章的主要内容;其二是信息词，即情态动词(may, must, can, have to等)，副词(yet, however, therefore, otherwise，carefully, seriously 等)、连词(but, while, though, if 等)等虚词和短语(as if / though, on the contrary, by contrast, even if / though, in spite of 等)，根据这些词语就能够推断出文章中人物的精神状态或作者的目的、意图、观点、立场、态度及文章的逻辑关系。
五、研究 重点，突破难点
在阅读过程中，碰到一些难以理解的问题，是非常正常的事情。这时，考生不必惊慌，而应冷静头脑，对问题进行认真分析、研究，从而进行难点突破。因为高考中的阅读毕竟是一种信息性的阅读，只要能提取正确的信息就足够了，因此对于那些不影响阅读的问题，就不必理会。只有当它们影响了对句子或文章的理解、特别是当它们影响问题的解决时，我们才在通读全文的基础上，对这些难点进行研究，加以分析、解决。
高考英语阅读理解提分指导
一、如何备考
在考试前的最后几个月里是综合能力提高的关键时期。但是如果基础知识仍然漏洞百出 ,就谈不到综合能力的提高。因此在最后的几个月一定要两手一起抓:
1 狠抓基础
经过一段时间的复习 ,每个同学都对自己的英语学习有了基本估计 ,知道自己的薄弱点在什么地方。之所以它们仍然是弱点 ,往往是因为害怕困难 ,不愿意下大功夫去解决这个问题。外语的学习特点就是知识比较零碎 ,需要背和记的东西比较多 ,只要你肯下工夫 ,没有学不会的。
2 加大阅读的练习力度阅读是语言的输入过程 ,是学习的过程 ,是培养语感的过程。现在的高考命题一再强调加强对语篇的考查 ,因此阅读理解的能力培养显得尤为重要。
读一些有一定难度的文章 ,在高考中遇到生词多的文章就不会发慌 ,心态稳定是考试时正常发挥的关键。平时的阅读中可以复习到课本上出现过的单词 ,还可以学到这些单词在不同的文章中的不同用法 ,为做其他题型的题目时打下基础。因此做每一篇阅读文章都需要达到两个目的:一是通过做题调整做题思路;二是通过阅读扩大词汇量和掌握词的灵活用法。胡国燕:北京市英语特级教师。北京实验中学外语教研组长、西城区兼职教研员。曾荣获北京市西城区教育系统先进工作者、西城区第一批中学外语科带头人、北京市市级中青年骨干教师、全国优秀外语教师等光荣称号。她撰写的论文多次获得市、区教育科研论文的一、二等奖。
二、如何提高阅读理解成绩
首先应该找出阻碍你正确理解文章的是什么才能解决问题。可能成为阅读理解障碍的有以下几个问题:
a 单词:单词掌握不好 ,会影响对文章的理解 ,至少影响阅读的速度。
b 句型不熟:高中学习的任务之一就是学会用不同的方法表示同样的意思。
例如:
It’s time for class = It’s time to have class= It’s time that we have class.
Not all the students like sports = Not every student likes sports.
When he heard the cry for help ,he ran out immediately. = Hearing the cry for help , he dashed out. = On hearing the cry for help ,he ran out at once.
c长句子:有些同学从句掌握的不好 ,遇到长句子 ,尤其是从句中套从句的句子 ,读起来比较困难。
如2000 年高考试题阅读理解的第三篇:“Decision - think - ing is not unlike poker ──it often matters not only what you think ,but also what others you think and what you think they think you think.”在这一段 30 个词的句子中think 出现了七次。往往需要读几遍才能读懂这样时间就用的比较多 ,在时间有限的情况下 ,就会出现没有真正看懂而不得不做题的情况因此 ,抓好基础知识的落实就显得非常重要。
d 平时训练:平时训练对自己要有一定的要求。阅读文章的长度 ,生词量等方面应该与高考的要求基本一致。至少不能低于高考的难度。在阅读的速度上也应从严要求自己 ,否则不可能在高考时正常发挥。
e 发现自己经常易犯的错误 ,有针对性地进行练习。

在高三的复习阶段中，少不了“练”，下面我给大家准备了高三英语的阅读理解练习以及答案，大家一起来学习一下吧!
第一篇：
In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest growing U.S.minority.As their children began moving up through the nation schools，it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging.Their achievements are reflected in the nation’s best universities，where mathematics，science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character.This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that AsianAmerican students who began their ecation abroad arrived in the U.S.with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English.They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college.Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively.And the return on the investment in ecation is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.
Most AsianAmerican students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American ecational system has to offer.An effective measure of parental attention is homework.Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do，and it helps.Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that makes success，such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize ecation.
Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image.Many can remember when Chinese，Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation(隔离).Indeed，it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.
1.With making outstanding achievements at college，AsianAmerican students ________.
A.feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English
B.are afraid that their academic successes are not recognized
C.still worry about unfair treatment in society for their origin
D.generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents
2.What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?
A.A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian culture.
B.Hard work and intelligence.

3.Few Asian American students major in human sciences mainly because ________.
A.their English is not good enough
B.they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areas

4.Why do “both explanations”(Para.3) worry Asian Americans?
A.They are afraid that they appear of typical Asian characteristics.
B.People will think that Asian students rely on their parents for success.
C.Asian Americans will be a threat to other minorities.
D.Americans fear the academic achievements made by Asian Americans.
5.Before 1952 in America，________.
A.Asian Americans could not be academically successful

C.immigrants were not equally treated by Asian Americans
D.immigrants from East and Southeast Asia were looked down upon
第二篇：
Have you ever wondered why you sometimes take an almost immediate liking to a person you have just met? We often get the first impression of a people based on the color of a person’s skin or the manner in which he or she dressed. Meaning is conveyed not only by words or verbal languages but also by nonverbal communication systems, such as body behaviors.
Nonverbal communication is important because we use the actions of others to learn about their affective emotional states .Our emotions are reflected in our posture, face, and eyes—be it fear, joy, anger, or sadness—so we can express them without ever saying a word .For this reason, most of us rely heavily on what we learn through our eyes.
Nonverbal communication is significant in human interaction because it is usually responsible for the first impressions. More importantly, those first messages usually influence the perception(感知) of everything else that follows. Even how we select friends and sexual partners is grounded in first impressions with nonverbal communication.
Nonverbal communication is important because it is culture-related. It is based on different beliefs, religions, values and customs in different cultures. When, where, how, and to whom people display his or her specific nonverbal behaviors is greatly affected by culture and context. Culture determines what the appropriate nonverbal behavior is. For example, feelings of friendship exist everywhere but their expression varies. It may be appropriate in some countries for man to embrace each other and for women to hold hands; in other countries these displays of affection may be shocking. Each culture has its own specific interpretation on nonverbal communication. What is acceptable in one culture may be completely unacceptable in another. One culture may determine that snapping fingers to call a waiter is acceptable; another may consider this gesture rude.
1. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Nonverbal communication and first impression
B. Nonverbal communication is culture-related
C. Nonverbal and verbal communication
D. The importance of nonverbal communication
2. We can know a person’s feeling through our eyes because_________.
A. we can see a person’s feeling on his face.
B. a person’s emotions can be reflected through eyes.
C. a person’s feeling can be reflected through his body languages
D. we can see a person’s feeling through his posture
3. Which of the following statements is not True?
A. Meaning can be conveyed both by words and body language.
B. We can use nonverbal communication to learn about a person’s emotional states.
C. We often get the first impression by what a person says.
D. The first impression can affect what we will do in the following.
4. How many reasons are mentioned in the text to show nonverbal communication is important?
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D.5
5. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A. we can use different ways to express friendship
B. each culture has its own specific interpretation on nonverbal communication
C. snapping fingers to call a waiter is acceptable
D. learning a country’s culture is very important.

第一篇：
【解题导语】 在短短二十年的时间里，亚裔美国人就成了增长最快的少数民族。他们的孩子学习成绩优异，这可能与他们的家教有关，然而正是这让家长担心他们所培养出的典型种族形象会招致社会隔离。
1.解析：细节推断题。文章第三段第一句明确指出，他们担心具有典型的种族形象也就是与众不同。下面又说到亚裔移民以前是社会隔离的牺牲品。因此C项 “仍然担心社会的不公正对待” 为正确答案。
答案：C
2.解析：细节理解题。亚裔美国人成功的主要因素是数学基础坚实，亚洲文化历来重视教育。文章前两段分析了亚裔学生主要在理工科方面学业突出的原因，即有坚实的'数学基础和父母的言传身教。B项也是成功的因素之一，但文章并未提到;C项中 “a limited knowledge of English” 不是主要原因;D项中的 “the American ecational system” 为所有学生提供的机会是均等的，不是亚裔学生成功的根本原因。
答案：A
3.解析：细节理解题。亚裔学生很少主修人文科学是因为担心会受到不公平对待。根据文章第一段倒数第二句 “Asians feel...like mathematics and science because...more objectively” 可推断，对人文科学成就的评价带有主观因素，因而更容易受到不公正对待。选项A、C、D并不是主要原因。
答案：B
4.解析：从最后一段判断，亚裔美国学生担心自己的突出成就会使自己再次成为社会孤立的对象，这是因为他们的成功是按照亚洲人的教育方式以及受到父辈影响所取得的，被深深地打上了亚洲文化特征的烙印。因此选项A为正确答案。
答案：A
5.解析：细节推断题。文章最后说，直到1952年政府才颁布法律承认所有亚洲移民的公民资格，才享受平等的待遇。至于说当时亚裔人没有学术上的成功、当时移民少都是毫无根据的。

;④ 求：2009重庆高考卷英语阅读理解E的翻译
最近的一项研究表明，尽管人们对科学持普遍乐观态度，但同时也表明人们普遍担心它可能“失控”。这个想法很危险。
科学可以是为善的力量，也可以是邪恶的力量。科学可以应用于这两者中的任何方面，这要靠我们的抉择而定。我们作出的决定，无论是个人的还是集体的，都将决定科学的归宿。但此处确有危险。科学发展如此之快，且受到商业的影响如此之强烈，我们很可能相信，无论我们做出什么决定，都几乎无济于事。与其力争采取可能的最好策略，我们有可能退后而无所作为。
有些人走得甚至更远。他们说，尽管道德和法律所不容，任何科学上可能做到事，在某个地方，在某个时候，终究都会被做出来。他们相信科学最终会失去控制。这种信念也是危险的，因为它加剧了无望的情绪，打消了他们努力来建设一个更安全世界的念头。
在我们的这个相互联系的世界里，科学界内部以及关于科学界缺乏共识，可能导致对科学的应用失去控制。如果不能达成共识，本世纪对科学加以“控制”的挑战将是非常严峻的。以克隆人为例。尽管科学家们就其对传统道德价值观可能产生的巨大影响达成了普遍的共识，但有一些国家仍然继续进行研究并发展相关的技术。最终的后果难以预料。
因此，关于如何应用科学的讨论应该扩展至远超科学团体以外之处。只有通过满怀希望的人们的共同努力，我们才能完全安全地抵制科学的滥用，将来科学才能更好地为人类服务。

大学英语阅读理解题及解答
下面是我给大家提供的大学四级的英语阅读理解题以及答案解析，有兴趣的朋友可以练习一下哦!
第一篇：
Merchant and passenger ships are generally required to have a life preserver for every person aboard and in many cases, a certain percentage of smaller sizes for children. According to United States requirements, life preservers must design, reversible capable of being quickly adjusted to fit the uninitiated indivial, and must be so designed as to support the wearer in the water in an upright or slightly backward position.
Sufficient buoyancy(浮力) to support the wearer should be retained by the life preserver after 48 hours in the water, and it should be reliable even after long period of storage. Thus it should be made of materials resistant to sunlight, gasoline, and oils, and it should be not easily set on fire.?The position in which the life preserver will support a person who jumps or falls into the water is most important, as is its tendency to turn the wearer in the water from a face-down position to an upright or slightly backward position, with his face clear of the water, even when the wearer is exhausted or unconscious.
The method of adjustment to the body should be simple, and self-evident to uninitiated persons even in the dark under the confused conditions, which follow a disaster. Thus, the life be reversible that it is nearly impossible to get it on wrong. Catches, straps, and ties should be kept to a minimum. In addition, the life preserver must be adjustable to the wide variety of shapes and sizes of wearers, since this greatly affects the position of floating and the self-righting qualities. A suitable life also be comfortable to wear at all times, in and out of the water, not so heavy as to encourage to take it off on shipboard while the ship is in danger, nor so burdensome that it hinders a person in the water while trying to swim.
1. The passage is mainly about____.
A) the uses of life preservers
B) the design of life preservers
C) the materials for life preservers
D) the buoyancy of life preservers
2. According to the passage, a life be first of all ____.
A) adjustable B) comfortable C) self-evident D) self-righting
3. United States Coast Guard does NOT require the life preserver to be made ____.
A) with as few strings as possible
B) capable of being worn on both sides
C) according to each wearer's size
D) comfortable and light to wear
4. By “the uninitiated indivial” (Para. 1, Line. 4) the author refers to the person ____.
A) who has not been instructed how to use a life preserver
B) who has a little experience in using a life preserver
C) who uses a life preserver without permission
D) who becomes nervous before a disaster
5. What would happen if a person were supported by the life preserver in a wrong position?
A) The waves would move him backwards.
B) The water would choke him.
C) He would immediately sink to the bottom.
D) He would be exhausted or unconscious.
第二篇：
The table before which we sit may be, as the scientist maintains, composed of dancing atoms, but it does not reveal itself to us as anything of the kind, and it is not with dancing atoms but a solid and motionless object that we live. So remote is this “real” table——and most of the other “realities” with which science deals——that it cannot be discussed in terms which have any human value, and though it may receive our purely intellectual credence it cannot be woven into the pattern of life as it is led, in contradistinction to life as we attempt it. Vibrations in the ether(以太) are so totally unlike the color, purple that the gulf between them cannot be bridged, and they are, to all intents and purposes，not one but two separate things of which the second and less “real” must be the most significant for us. And just as the sensation which has led us to attribute all objective reality to a non-existent thing which we called “purple”is more important for human life than the conception of vibrations of a certain frequency; so too the belief in God; however ill founded, has been more important in the life of man than the germ theory of true the latter may be.
We may, if we like, speak of consequence, as certain mystics love to do, of the different levels or orders of truth. We may adopt what is essentially a Platonistic (布拉图式的) trick of thought and insist upon postulating the existence of external realities which correspond to the needs and modes of human feeling and which, so we may insist, have their being in some part of the universe unreachable by science. But to do so is to make an unwarrantable assumption and to be guilty of the metaphysical fallacy of failing to distinguish between a truth of feeling and that other sort of truth which is described as “truth of correspondence” and it is better perhaps, at least for those of us who have grown up in thought, to steer clear of such confusions and to rest content with the admission that, though the universe with which science deals is the real universe, yet we do not and cannot have any but fleeting and imperfect contacts with it; that the most important part of our lives-our sensations, emotions, desires and aspirations-take place in a universe of illusions which science can attenuate or destroy, but which it is powerless to enrich.
1. The author suggests that in order to bridge the puzzling difference between scientific truth and the world of illusion, the reader should____.
A) try to rid himself of his world of illusion
B) accept his words as being one of illusion
C) apply the scientific method
D) learn to acknowledge both
2. Judging from the ideas and tone of the selection, one may reasonably guess that the author is ____.
A) a humanist B) a pantheist C) a nuclear physicist D) a doctor of medicine
3. According to this passage, a scientist would conceive of a “table” as being ____.
A) a solid motionless object
B) certain characteristic vibrations in “ether”
C) a form fixed in space and time
D) a mass of atoms in motion
4. The topic of this selection is____.
A) the distortion of reality by science
B) the confusion caused by emotions
C) Platonic and contemporary views of truth
D) the place of scientific truth in our lives
5. By “objective reality” (Last line, Para. 1) the author means____.
A) scientific reality
B) a symbolic existence
C) the viewer's experience
D) reality colored by emotion

第一篇：
1. B
文章主要讲述了救生衣的设计。间接题型段首主旨题。C项和D项都是对救生衣设计中设计材料的说明。A项为陷阱，指救生衣的用途，尽管开头提到，但范围不着边际。故只有B是正确选项。
2. D
根据文章，救生衣首先会自动扶正。事实细节题。本文第三段主要讨论救生衣落水位置，应设计的能“自动扶正”,或稍向后仰。B项是对材料的描述，范围太窄，而A和C不合题意，因此D是正确答案。
3. C
美国海岸巡逻队不需要救生衣根据穿戴者的尺寸生产。事实细节题。A项和B项都涉及method，其相关部分见最后一段第三句，A，B，D三项都是文章中提及的，C项与本题无关的'内容，因此应该选C。
4. A
“the uninitiated indivial”作者指的是不知道怎么使用救生衣的人。语义指代题。根据文章最后一段第一句，我们可推出“the uninitiated indivial”就是指的那些不知道怎么使用救生衣的人。故A是正确选项。
5. D
如果一个人没有正确使用救生衣，就会发生什么?细节辨别题。第三段第一句后半句中a face-down position和本题中的 in a wrong position相对应。因此选项D“他可能太累了或者是已经失去知觉”是正确答案。

高考英语阅读理解试题【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(增强片段),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(遗传) 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.

高考英语阅读理解试题【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 (乘法口诀表) 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 (突击学习) 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.

;⑧ 六年级英语阅读理解短文
六年级英语阅读理解在考试中占有非常大的分值，所以，学好六年级英语阅读理解，将会大大提高同学们的英语考试成绩，今天小编就为各位准备了几篇，关于六年级英语阅读理解的中英对照版短文。
六年级英语阅读理解中英对照版短文第一部分
读书之乐
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'闷让t have suffered ring the process.
读书是愉悦心智之事。在这一点上它与运动颇为相似:一个优秀的读者必须要有热情、有知识、有速度。读书之乐并非在于作者要告诉你什么，而在于它促使你思考。你跟随作者一起想像，有时你的想象甚至会超越作誉罩庆者的。把自己的体验与作者的相互比较，你会得出相同或者不同的结论。在理解作者想法的同时，也形成了自己的观点。
每一本书都自成体系，就像一家一户的住宅，而图书馆里的藏书好比城市里千家万户的居所。尽管它们都相互独立，但只有相互结合才有意义。家家户户彼此相连，城市与城市彼此相依。相同或相似的思想在不同地方涌现。人类生庆握活中反复的问题也在文学中不断重现，但因时代与作品的差异，答案也各不相同。
如果你希望的话，读书也能充满乐趣。倘若你只读那些别人告诉你该读之书，那么你不太可能有乐趣可言。但如果你放下你不喜欢的书，试着阅读另外一本，直到你找到自己中意的，然后轻轻松松的读下去，差不多一定会乐在其中。而且，当你通过阅读变得更加优秀，更加善良，更加文雅时，阅读便不再是一种折磨。

给予
Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving-away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. “Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?” I said yes. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.”
像大多数人，我长大看待生命是一个过程获得。直到我在30月底，我作出这一重要发现：给予，距离使我们的生活如此更令人兴奋的。您不必担心如果缺乏资金。这是我尝试让-消失。如果一个主意，可以改善窗口显示一个闪烁附近商店给我，我的步骤，并提出上述建议的仓库保管员。一发现我付出，离开是，它几乎是不可能放弃任何在这个世界上，没有得到回报，尽管返回往往在一个意想不到的形式。一个星期天上午，当地邮局作了重要特别的递送信件到我家里，但给我在我的办公室。我写了一份说明邮政的赞赏。一年多后，我需要一个后Office中的一个新的业务，我开始。我被告知的窗口，没有框的左边，我的名字将不得不在很长的等候名单。当我正准备离开，邮政出现在门口。他听到我们的交谈。 “是不是你，我们该信中写道：一年前为客户提供一份特别的递送到您的家? ”我说是的。 “嘿，你肯定将会有一个盒子在这个邮政局如果我们要取得一个适合您。你不知道什么样的信，这意味着给我们。我们通常会只是投诉。题目的答案：ACBCD，题目不祥。
