『壹』 英语二2021年真题解析-阅读2 粮食自给自足

Text 2 英国粮食自给自足的模式

本文讨论了:英国粮食自给自足的模式。无法满足国内需求的问题，文章开篇提出，人口激增引发人们对粮食安全的关注，英国也不例外，随后引述一些人。关于恢复自给自足的观点，并借利兹大学的报告核对英国土地特征的分析，指出自给自足模式无法满足国内对肉类，奶制品以及农作物的需求。

第1段：粮食安全日益成为关注焦点。

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.

随着世界人口的预测，将要在2025年达到近10亿人，而且预测农业的食品生产在一些地区将会达到两倍的需求量，才能保持速度食品安全增加已经成为了一个头条。

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

最近在英国，由于脱欧这个相当特殊的理由，他也成为了一个热门的话题。

第2段：恢复自给自足的愿景

Brexit is seen by some as an opportunity {to reverse are recent trend}{ towards the UK importing food.} 有一些认为英国脱欧是一个机会对于扭转进口食品的趋势

The country proces only about 60 per cent of the food it eats, down from almost three-quarters in the late 1980s.该国的粮食产量只占其消费量的60%比20世纪世纪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.到自给自足的模式，将会推动农业发展、强化政治主权，甚至能够提高国民健康。

Sounds great - but how feasible is this vision ?听起来很棒但这一愿景的可行性度如何呢

第3段：英国国内对肉类和奶制品的所有需求无法得到满足。

⭐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.

根据报告对英国食品的生产来自于伦敦大学，在英国85%的乡村整个的土地，连接着食物和牛奶的生产。

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.

但他也只供应了消费总量的80%，所以即便全国都布满畜牧场，也无法满足人们对肉类与奶制品的所有需求。

第4段：

There are many caveats to those figures, but they are still grave.尽管对这些数据有不少的预先声明但形式依然严峻

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题干扰项出处

为了能够更加的自给自足，英国需要大幅度的减少动物食品的消费，可能还需要加强集约式耕作，这意味着绿地减少，工厂化生产增加。

第5段

But switching to a mainly plant-based diet wouldn't help. 不过转向素食为主的饮食也无济于事

⭐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.

英国之所以以畜牧业为主，是有其充分理由的英国大部分的土地，没有合适的土壤和气候来进行商业种植。

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%的国土师和种植农作物其中大部分已经备耕地占用

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 .即使我们将所有适宜种植的土地改造，包括所有的自然保护区，使成千上万的人千离家园，也只能实现农作物增长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.    目前英国消费的水果和蔬菜只有23%是本土种植的

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

.因此即使采取了极端的措施，在寻找空间种植谷物糖类种子，这些目前我们提供大部分热量的食物之前，我们也只能满足30%的新鲜农产品的需求。

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.

『叁』 英语阅读理解模拟试题及答案

英语阅读理解模拟试题及答案

下面是我收集的关于英语四级的阅读理解模拟试题及答案解析，欢迎大家阅读练习!

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.

练习题：

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 (约束) 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 (小隔间) 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 (筹码) 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.

高中英语阅读理解测试题 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(干旱)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“____”

Passage 3

树木对于人来说有3个重要益处：树木给人类提供木材和其他产物;树木可以让人们乘凉;树木可有效地防止旱涝灾害。

可惜的是，在世界上许多地方，人类没有认识到以上三个作用中，第三个是最重要的。人们急切于从树木上快速的谋取利益，于是大量的砍伐森林。

两千年之前，有一个富裕和强大的国家。为了建立帝国，砍倒了树木来造战舰。帝国建立了，但是，没有树木的土地变得荒芜和贫瘠。当帝国四分五裂的时候，整个国家发觉自己面临的是水灾和饥荒。 就算在政府认识到足够的树木储备的重要性时，有时却很难让人民也意识到这点。人们砍倒了树木，却疏于种植和照料树苗。因此，除非政府建立一套体制来控制或者教育人们，否则森林就会渐渐消失。

森林的消失不仅仅意味着树木的减少，还有更严重的后果。在有树的地方，树根不仅把土壤粉碎成小块，便于雨水的渗入，还可以牢牢的抓住泥土，防止泥土被冲刷走。但是在没有书的地方，雨水直接落在坚硬的地面，在土地表面流走。这不仅会导致洪水，雨水还会带走庄稼赖于生长的肥沃的表层土。当所有的表层土被冲走之后，除了毫无价值的沙漠之外，什么也没有了。

高中英语阅读理解测试题 篇6

The global population is living longer，and getting older，阅读理解答案

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教育网：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 (中风) 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(极大的) 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(互动) 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

A.Because they are more clever.

B.Because they give correct instructions.

全球人口的寿命越来越长，年龄越来越大，这带来了新的挑战。“问题变成了：谁来照顾每一个人，而人们永远是最好的照顾者，只是人太少了。这就是机器人的问题。”教育网：南加州大学的Maja Mataric教授说，IC技术真的能起到作用。

她的团队正在开发用于治疗中风的机器人(中风) 病人和老年人。研究团队发现，人们对机器人健身教练的反应很好，而且似乎对机器人健身教练的失望程度比对电脑屏幕上给出的指令要低。该机器人可以作为一个完美的教练，具有无限的灵活性(极大的) 耐心

马塔里克教授说：“人们会说‘比起我的丈夫，我更喜欢这个机器人！我能把它带回家吗’。”。“事实上，这里有一个非常重要的观点。当我们创造这些护理技术时，我们不仅帮助了需要护理的人，也帮助了护理他们的人。我们可以让他们休息一下，帮助他们避免精疲力竭。”

人们在欢迎机器人进入自己的家之前，必须喜欢机器人，更重要的是要信任机器人。世界各地的几个组织正在努力让机器人更容易与它们沟通。

人类的大部分交流都是通过肢体语言进行的。手势、眼神交流和个人空间的概念都是机器人学习的内容。了解人们如何互动(互动) 有了机器，研究人员也发现了机器人在我们生活中的新角色。机器人可以用其他技术无法实现的方式与人类通信。

麻省理工学院个人机器人小组主任辛西娅·布雷泽尔博士说：“如果有人发现机器人更具说服力、更可靠，这将影响他们与机器人的互动方式。”。“我们现在可以开始思考社会互动的领域，这是机器人帮助他人的主要方式。”布雷泽尔博士说，这意味着机器人可以用于教育、学习和医疗保健，而在这些领域，社会支持非常重要。

高中英语阅读理解测试题 篇7

英语阅读答案

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(过程)，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

下次你向老师求助时，有件事需要考虑：努力自学可以帮助你学习。根据最近的一项研究，你在学习新信息时尝试得越多，你以后就能更好地记住它。

这可能会让你大吃一惊。当老师在介绍新信息时，他们经常给学生很多帮助。但一项新的研究表明，这可能不是支持学习的最佳方式。教育专家马卡普尔说：“学习新东西时，不要太快寻求帮助。”。“试着自己动手，即使这意味着尝试不同的方式。”

卡普尔提出了努力学习可以带来更好的学习的想法。然后他在新加坡的学生身上进行了测试。他把学生分成两组。在第一组中，学生们被要求在老师的帮助下解决数学问题。在第二组中，学生们被要求通过互相帮助来解决同样的问题，而不是从老师那里得到帮助。

在老师的帮助下，第一组的学生能够找到正确的答案。第二组的学生没有正确地解决问题。但他们确实想出了很多好主意。

然后对学生们所学知识进行测试。没有老师帮助的组比有老师帮助的组得分高得多。卡普尔说，努力寻找答案有助于学生理解这个过程(过程)，不仅仅是解决方案。

卡普尔给孩子们的建议是付出更多的努力(努力)学习新东西，而不是向老师寻求帮助。“简单地做一点工作或什么都不做是行不通的。”卡普尔说。“尽可能多地解决问题。”

People used to say, “The hand that rocks (摇) the cradle (摇篮) 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.

在奥地利的维也纳，最近当一位名为Joseph Groeger的老妇人过世的时候，人们忍不住要问：“为什么她可以活到107岁呢?”当对148个100岁以上的维也纳人进行调查之后，我们得出了答案。有点让人惊讶的是，这些人中的多数人都大部分的人生都是在都市生活的。尽管城市给我们的印象一直都是不利于健康的，但是城市生活往往提供一些乡村缺乏的便利。其中有一个就是这些被调查者长寿的重要因素。

这个因素就是锻炼。在城市，对于比较短的路程，往往走路比你等着坐公车去更快捷。就算去搭乘一些公共交通工具也经常要走一段路程。较小的公寓一般没有电梯，人们就不得不爬楼。城市人还经常步行去附近的超市买东西。在停车位如此难找的情况下，往往没有别的选择只有步行。

另一方面，那些住在乡村和郊区的人反而无需每天走路。事实上，他们每天都乘坐交通工具，去上学，去上班，或者去其他任何地方，都必须开车前往。

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

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 (给予活力) 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.

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

【小题2】在教室里或者书本上读一种技巧远不如在做志愿者的工作中实践一种技能更高效。前面的名词是skill
，所以这里的it应该是指A
skill。
【小题3】文章第五段提到做志愿者在帮助他人的同时，自己也学会了很多的知识技能，如团队合作，发现自己的特长等。所以做志愿者是不仅给予而且收获。所以回答Because
a

not

and
skills.
【小题4】根据Anybody
who

in
need
can
become
a

意为：任何人只要想帮助需要帮助的人都可以成为志愿者。
【小题5】根据全文内容，尤其是第二段可知，本文的主题的西方的志愿者服务的情况。所以最佳题目是Volunteer
Service
in
the
