关于探险的英语阅读
原文：One day Peary told Henson about his real dream: to be the first man to stand on “the top of the world” at the North Pole. He asked Henson to help him make his dream come true.
Over the next five years, the two explorers made two trips together to the North Pole. However, they were not able to reach the pole either time. The cold, wind, and ice were worse than either of them had ever imagined. In 1908, Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt at reaching the North Pole. Both men were over forty years old. The years of hardship in the North Pole cold had taken their toll on both men.
They made a mad dash straight across the ice toward the pole. In April 1909, Peary and Henson finally arrived at the North Pole.翻译：一天，皮尔告诉汉森关于他真正的梦想：成为第一个站在“世界之巅”在北极。他问他帮助他实现他的梦想。
在接下来的五年里，两个探险家一起到北极去旅行。然而，他们不能够到达南极的时间。寒冷，风和冰都比他们想象的更糟。1908，皮尔和汉森准备在到达北极做最后的尝试。两人都超过四十岁。在北极寒冷的岁月里，他们在这两个人的付出都付出了代价。
他们把一个疯狂的冲刺直穿过冰走向南极。1909年四月，皮尔和汉森终于到达北极。

Over two thousand years ago Rome(罗马)was the center of a huge empire. The Romans needed a way to move their large armies quickly so that they could protect their huge country. They needed land trade routes, so they joined all parts of their empire by a net-work of roads(公路网).
Beginning in 300 B.C., the Romans built roads in Europe, Asia and North Africa. By 200A.D., they had built 50, 000 miles of almost straight roads.
To build their roads, the Romans moved away all soft soil. They g until they reached hard ground. Then they added layers(层)of stone and other things. The most important roads were paved(铺设)with large flat(平)stones. Main Roman roads were sometimes as wide as ours today.
To build their roads, the Romans sometimes had to dig tunnels through mountains. But they didn't have any machines to help them. So they heated the rock with fire and then threw cold water over it. When the rock cracked(裂), they g it out. Roman soldiers and slaves built the roads with their hands and simple tools, but the roads were so well built that they were used for hundreds of years.

B.Roman tools in building a wide straight road
C.the Romans‘ roads built two thousand years ago
D.the reason why the Romans had to build their roads
4.Why did the Romans build so many roads at that time? It was because ______ .

Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient institution, which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past human race managed to live with it. Modern ingenuity has changed this. Either man will abolish war, or war will abolish man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing people, but by arbitration in accordance with agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.
There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology would prevent war. I believe this to be a big error. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic statements that are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their adherents believe in them so fanatically that they are willing to go to war in support of them.
The movement of world opinion ring the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between different countries, but between man and the atom bomb.
1. This passage implies that war is now ___.
A. worse than in the past.
B. as bad as in the past
C. not so dangerous as in the past
D. as necessary as in the past
2. In the sentence “To do this, we need to persuade mankind” (Para 1), “this” refers to ___.
A. abolish war
B. improve weapons
C. solve international problems
D. live a peaceful life
3. From Paragraph 2 we learn that the author of the passage ___.
A. is an adherent of some modern ideologies.
B. does not think that adoption of any ideology could prevent war.
C. believe that the adoption of some ideology could prevent war.
D. does not doubt the truth of any ideologies.
4. According to the author, ___.
A. war is the only way to solve international disputes.
B. war will be less dangerous because of the improvement of weapons.
C. it is impossible for the people to live without war.
D. war must be abolished if man wants to survive.
5. The last paragraph suggests that ___.
A. international agreements can be reached more easily now.
B. man begins to realize the danger of nuclear war.
C. nuclear war will definitely not take place.
D. world opinion welcomes nuclear war

英语阅读题及答案 3
Recent research has claimed that an excess of positive ions in the air can have an ill effect on people‘s physical or psychological health. What are positive ions? Well， the air is full of ions， electrically charged particles， and generally there is a rough balance between the positive and the negative charged. But sometimes this balance becomes disturbed and a larger proportion of positive ions are found. This happens naturally before thunderstorm， earthquakes when winds such as the Mistral， Hamsin or Sharav are blowing in certain countries. Or it can be caused by a build-up of static electricity indoors from carpets or clothing made of man-made fibres， or from TV sets， plicators or computer display screens.
When a large number of positive ions are present in the air many people experience unpleasant effects such as headaches， fatigue， irritability， and some particularly sensitive people suffer nausea or even mental disturbance. Animals are also affected， particularly before earthquakes， snakes have been observed to come out of hibernation， rats to flee from their burrows， dogs howl and cats jump about unaccountably. This has led the US Geographical Survey to fund a network of volunteers to watch animals in an effort to foresee such disasters before they hit vulnerable areas such as California.
Conversely， when large numbers of negative ions are present， then people have a feeling of well-being. Natural conditions that proce these large amounts are near the sea， close to waterfalls or fountains， or in any place where water is sprayed， or forms a spray. This probably accounts for the beneficial effect of a holiday by the sea， or in the mountains with tumbling streams or waterfalls.
To increase the supply of negative ions indoors， some scientists recommend the use of ionisers： small portable machines， which generate negative ions. They claim that ionisers not only clean and refresh the air but also improve the health of people sensitive to excess positive ions. Of course， there are the detractors， other scientists， who dismiss such claims and are skeptical about negative/positive ion research. Therefore people can only make up their own minds by observing the effects on themselves， or on others， of a negative rich or poor environment. After all it is debatable whether depending on seismic readings to anticipate earthquakes is more effective than watching the cat.
1.What effect does exceeding positive ionization have on some people?
A.They think they are insane.
B.They feel rather bad-tempered and short-fussed.
C.They become violently sick.
D.They are too tired to do anything.
2.In accordance with the passage， static electricity can be caused by___.
A.using home-made electrical goods.
B.wearing clothes made of natural materials.
C.walking on artificial floor coverings.
D.ing TV programs on a computer.
3.A high negative ion count is likely to be found___.
A.near a pound with a water pump.
B.close to a slow-flowing river.
C.high in some barren mountains.
D.by a rotating water sprinkler.
4.What kind of machine can generate negative ions indoors?
A.Ionisers.
B.Air-conditioners.
C.Exhaust-fans
D.Vacuum pumps.
5.Some scientists believe that___.
A.watching animals to anticipate earthquakes is more effective than depending on seismography.
B.the unusual behavior of animals cannot be trusted.
C.neither watching nor using seismographs is reliable.
D.earthquake

英语阅读题及答案 5
For the past severalyears, the Sunday newspaper supplement Paradehas featured a column called "Ask Marilyn." People are invited to query Marilynvos Savant, who at age 10 had tested at a mental level of someone about 23years old; that gave her an IQ of 228 - the highest score ever recorded. IQtests ask you to complete verbal and visual analogies, to envision paper afterit has been folded and cut, and to dece numerical sequences, among othersimilar tasks. So it is a bit confusing when vos Savant fields such queriesfrom the average Joe (whose IQ is 100) as, What's the difference between loveand fondness? Or what is the nature of luck and coincidence? ①It'snot obvious how the capacity to visualize objects and to figure out numericalpatterns suits one to answer questions that have eluded some of the best poetsand philosophers.
Clearly, intelligenceencompasses more than a score on a test. Just what does it mean to be smart?How much of intelligence can be specified, and how much can we learn about itfrom neurology, genetics, computer science and other fields?
The defining term ofintelligence in humans still seems to be the IQ score, even though IQ tests arenot given as often as they used to be. The test comes primarily in two forms:the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale and the Wechsler Intelligence Scales(both come in alt and children's version). Generally costing several hundreddollars, they are usually given only by psychologists, although variations ofthem populate bookstores and the World Wide Web. ②Superhigh scores like vos Savant's are nolonger possible, because scoring is now based on a statistical populationdistribution among age peers, rather than simply dividing the mental age by thechronological age and multiplying by 100. Other standardized tests,such as the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) and the Graate Record Exam(GRE), capture the main aspects of IQ tests.
Such standardized testsmay not assess all the important elements necessary to succeed in school and inlife, argues Robert J. Sternberg. In his article "How Intelligent IsIntelligence Testing?", ③Sternberg notes that traditionaltest best assess analytical and verbal skills but fail to measure creativityand practical knowledge, components also critical to problem solving and lifesuccess. Moreover, IQ test do not necessarilypredict so well once populations or situations change. Research has found thatIQ predicted leadership skills when the tests were given under low-stressconditions, but under high-stress conditions, IQ was negatively correlated withleadership - that is, it predicted the opposite. Anyone who has toiled throughSAT will testify that test-taking skill also matters, whether it's knowing whento guess or what questions to skip.
1. Which of the following may be required in anintelligent test?
[A] Answeringphilosophical questions.
[B] Foldingor cutting paper into different shapes.
[C] Tellingthe difference between certain concepts.（D）
[D] Choosingwords or graphs similar to the given ones.
2. What can be inferred about intelligence testingfrom Paragraph 3?
[A] People nolonger use IQ scores as an indicator of intelligence.
[B] Moreversions of IQ tests are now available on the Internet.
[C] The testcontents and formats for alts and children may be different.（C）
[D]Scientists have defined the important elements of human intelligence.
3. People nowadays can no longer achieve IQ scoresas high as vos Savant's because
[A] thescores are obtained through different computational proceres.
[B]creativity rather than analytical skills is emphasized now.
[C] vosSavant's case is an extreme one that will not repeat.（A）
[D] thedefining characteristic of IQ tests has changed.
4. We can conclude from the last paragraph that
[A] testscores may not be reliable indicators of one's ability.
[B] IQ scoresand SAT results are highly correlated.
[C] testinginvolves a lot of guesswork.（A）
[D]traditional test are out of date.
5. What is the author's attitude towards IQ test?
[A]Supportive.
[B]Skeptical.
[C]Impartial.（B）
[D] Biased.
;3. 有关探险的英文故事
Ferdinand Magellan (哥伦布)
Who was the first explorer to circumnavigate the globe and cross the Pacific Ocean? Ferdinand Magellan did it on his famous voyage in search of a westward route to the Moluccas (now Melaka). This is one of the greatest Portuguese explorers to ever sail the ocean. Ferdinand Magellan was born in about 1480 in Sabrosa of a noble family, and he spent his years as a court page. He ran errands and helped out with general chores but he was still looking for something more. He wanted to see the world and find out what there was to explore. In 1506 he went to the East Indies, participating in many military and exploratory expeditions in Malacca and the Moluccas, know as the Spice Islands, and by 1510 he had been promoted to the rank of captain. He returned to Portugal in 1512 and in 1513 was stationed in Morocco, where he got wounds that maimed him for life. He requested an increase in his royal allowance but was rejected by Emanuel, king of Portugal, who didn't agree with Magellan's plan to find a westward route to the Moluccas. This made Magellan renounce his Portuguese nationality. In 1517 he offered his services to the king of Spain, Charles I (later Holy Roman Emperor Charles V). With his good salesmanship skills, Magellan convinced Charles to fund the expedition to find a westward route to the Moluccas. If Magellan could reach the Moluccas from the West, Spain's wealth would surpass all other countries. On September 20,1519 Magellan started his great journey to the Moluccas from Sanlucar de Barrameda with five ships. In November of that year he reached South America. In February 1520 he explored the Rio de la Plata estuary, and on March 31, 1520 his fleet put in to port at San Julian. His fleet remained there for six months because of disease and complications. One ship was wrecked causing a mutiny. After the mutiny had been settled, Magellan sailed the passage to the Pacific Ocean named after him, the Strait of Magellan, losing another ship by desertion, en route. After 38 days and traveling 330 miles, on November 28, 1520, his three great ships sailed into the ocean, which Magellan named "Pacific" because it was so calm. He reached the Marianas, or Ladrone, Islands on March 6, 1521, and ten days later he discovered the Philippines. He landed on the island of Cebu on April 7. There he made an alliance with the ruler of the island and agreed to help him attack the neighboring natives on the island of Mactan. Magellan was killed on April 27, 1521 ring the Mactan expedition. What happens to the crew now that their leader is dead? A young Spanish navigator named Juan Sebastian del Cano takes over. Meanwhile two ships escaped and the other one was burned. The last ship, Victoria, was commanded by del Cano through the Cape of Good Hope route to Seville on September 6,1522. Although Magellan did not live to make the journey home he did circumnavigate the globe by passing the easternmost point he had visited on an earlier voyage. The cargo of spices brought back to Spain on the Victoria alone paid for the expenses of the Expedition. The passage through the Strait of Magellan was too long and difficult to be a practical trade route from Europe to the Moluccas, however, and Spain sold her interests there to Portugal. The voyage laid a foundation for trade in the Pacific between the New World and the East. Though Spain did not recognize the importance of the Philippines immediately, before the end of the century, Manila became the greatest Spanish trading center in the East. Ferdinand Magellan proved to the world and all those who rejected his ideas that one could circumnavigate the world. His discoveries and passages opened new doors to a larger world. He will always be remembered as the first man who sailed around the world.
Early Life
Hi, my name is Ferdinand Magellan. I was born in 1480 in northern Portugal. My parents died when I was only 10 years old. At the age of 12, I was appointed as the queen’ messenger in the royal court. Young boys were appointed as messenger as a source of ecation. At the court, I learned about many famous explorers and the most important information about navigating ships.
First Expedition
My first time at sea was in 1505 when I was 25 years old. I sailed with Francisco de Almedia, Portugal’s first admiral, and his fleet. In 1511, I went on an expedition to conquer Melaka. After our victory, a Portuguese fleet sailed to the Spice Islands (also known as the Moluccas Islands). Portugal claimed the islands at this time. One of my close friends, Francisco Serrao, went on the voyage and wrote to me. In his letters he described the route and the island of Ternate.
Planning for a Long Trip
Serrao’s letters helped build in my mind the location of the Spice Islands, which later became the destination for my great voyage. I asked the King of Portugal to support my journey, but he refused. After that, I begged the King of Spain to support my journey. He was interested in my plan since Spain was looking for a better sea route to Asia than the Portuguese route around the southern tip of Africa. It was going to be hard to find sailors, though. None of the Spanish sailors wanted to sail with me because I was Portuguese. I would have to take anybody who signed on, whether they were good seamen or not. Parts of my crew were prisoners, released from jail in return for sailing with me.
Journey Around the World
In September of 1519, my crew and I said our prayers and set sail for southern Spain with five ships—the Santiago, the San Antonio, the Conception, the Trinidad, and the Victoria. At first, all went well. Our small fleet sailed across the Atlantic Ocean and reached South America. We stocked up with goods and sailed down the coastline looking for a passage through this great continent. We just couldn’t find a route through South America! We sailed further and further south, sailing into every river and bay we came upon. The weather was getting colder, and we were running out of supplies. The crew revolted against the other captains and me. I had the men who started the mutiny hanged, and then we continued our journey. Finally, in October of 1520, we found a strait. I named it after myself, calling it the Strait of Magellan. It took 38 days to sail through the dangerous strait. We finally arrived at the ocean that Balboa had discovered several years before. I named it the Pacific Ocean because of its calm waters. We found ourselves sailing for weeks across this ocean with no sign of land. Our drinking water stunk and started to get slimy. My crew and I had to eat rats! Could you imagine eating a rat? Many of my crew suffered from scurvy. One of the other captains deserted me and sailed the San Antonio back to Spain. In March of 1521, we arrived in Guam, an island in the Pacific. From there, we headed for the Moluccas.
The End of My Days
I never made it to the Spice Islands. I was caught in a war in the Philippine islands. We faced a group of natives who killed me with a poisoned arrow in my foot and a spear through my heart. After I died, my crew burned my ship. Now only 3 ships remained. My body was left behind. Only two ships actually reached the Spice Islands because the Santiago was sunk in a storm. My crew loaded both ships with a rich cargo and headed for Spain. On the way home, the Portuguese who had claimed the Spice Islands captured the Trinidad. The Victoria was the only ship to make it safely back to Spain. Out of the five ships that began the journey, only one ship made the voyage around the world. Out of 250 men, only 18 survived…I was not one of them.

;7. 求一篇英语阅读文章（貌似初中做过的），help others,help yourself.讲得是两个探险者...
Help Others, Help Yourself
助人助己
Have you ever had a day when everything seemed to go wrong, and nothing seemed to go right? Not too long ago I was having one of those days. I was discouraged, weary, and plain sad. My focus was on me, me, me. After all, no one else was experiencing the same trials as I was.
你有没有过这样的一天, 事事都不如人意, 没有一件事让你开心? 不久前, 我就有过这么一天. 我气馁, 疲倦, 悲伤挥之不去. 我的注意力就是自己, 自己, 自己. 毕竟, 没有任何人在经历我所遭受的磨难.
I expressed my downcast state to my mother, hoping for some pity. Instead, she said, “I heard Lily was having a difficult day too. Why don’t you make her some cookies and we’ll take them to her this afternoon?” I didn’t really want to, but decided that I didn’t want to go back to my other problems just yet. I made the cookies and arranged them on a little plate. Then I made a card with a sunflower on it and wrote a small noted of empathy.
我向母亲说出了沮丧的心境, 希望得到一点同情. 而她开口说的是: “我听说莉莉今天也不大开心. 你为什么不做些曲奇饼, 下午我们给她送去?” 我并不想做曲奇饼, 但决定还是暂时别回到自己的问题中去. 于是, 我做了曲奇饼, 并把它们摆放倒一个小盘子里. 然后我还做了一张卡片, 上面画了一朵向日葵, 还写了几句安慰的话语.
That afternoon we dropped by my friend’s house. I went to the door and rang the bell. Soon, Lily came to the door and looked at me in surprise for the unexpected visit. Before sh could say anything I rushed, “I heard you were having a hard day and decided to bring you something. I hope your day goes better.” The look that came over Lily’s face was one that I could never put into words. It was as if a darkened sky was suddenly lit with the golden rays of the sun; it was as if in that small act, her day was brightened.
那天下午我们去了我朋友莉莉的家. 我走倒门前按响了门铃. 不一会, 莉莉来开门, 惊奇地看着我, 没料倒我们会到访. 没等她开口, 我先急急地对她说: “我听说你不开心, 决定给你带点东西来. 希望你能开心起来.” 莉莉脸上浮现的表情是我无法用语言描述的. 好像原来乌云密布的天空顷刻间雨过天晴, 金光四射; 好像就因为这么一个小小的举动, 她的这一天就亮堂起来了.
I got back into the car and for some amazing reason, I felt a lot better myself. That day I experienced the truth that James Barrie attempted to describe. “Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others, cannot keep it from themselves.”
我回到我们的车子里, 也不知是什么奇妙的原因, 我自己也感觉好多了. 那天, 我的经历正如同詹姆斯.巴里曾试图描述的: “给他人带去阳光的人, 自己也会沐浴在阳光之中.

larry正在进行他的又一次海底探险，但不同的是这次他觉得带着女儿一起探险。她今年仅有10岁，这将是她与父亲首次一起旅行，她的父亲在这方面可是大名鼎鼎。
Larry在他像他女儿这么大时就开始潜水了。他父亲也是在一次探险的时候带他一起的。从此之后larry就开始一发不可收拾。一开始larry从岸边潜水店里租用潜水设备。他对它们有种爱不起来的感觉。因为它们要么太大要么太小。这时，他碰见了一位导师。他给他短暂的训练之后允许他与他父亲一起下水。他是个例外。没有至少5小时候以上的理论课和差不多时长教练指导下进行的实际练习，Larry是不会允许下水的。因为他这个年龄的儿童是不能允许潜水的。
第一次探险之后，LARRY后来的潜水冒险越来越好。潜水的日子没有一刻是无聊沉闷的。穿着黑蓝色潜水服，背着氧气瓶，larry从船上跳入到海洋中间。危险地带不能阻止他的探索。有时他会被困在水下的洞穴里，但这不能阻止他，至少，他还能给水下的动物拍照。
Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands.There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them .Fortunately for him,a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry didn’t even know what the time was how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken.The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.
Larry looked at his daughter.She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age.He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition.Already,she looked like she was much braver than had been then.This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.
