Part Two. Read The Following Short Passages And Choose The Best Answer.
Passage 1
There are a lot of dangerous and terrible pests in Northeastern India, but the tree-bees are the most terrible. They are killers. Unlike most bees, which will sting you only if they are disturbed or annoyed, tree-bees will attack you in thousands for no apparent reason. And then they will chase you for your life.
Walking along a dusty road one sunny morning, while I was on holiday there last year, I found myself, without the least warning, the center of such an attack. The air above me suddenly became thick with bees. Despite the heat, I went cold all over. Until then I had never heard of Indian tree-bees, but I had recently seen a film called "The Angry Swarm", whose subject was killer-bees.
I began to run to the village about half a mile away. But I was soon covered from head to foot with bees. They crawled in thousands all over me, stinging with terrible pain. I tore them away in handfuls, only to make room for others. Each time I opened my lips for breath, more bees entered my mouth, until my tongue was stung to twice its normal size and I could hardly breathe.
When I reached the village, I ran towards a house that was being built. As soon as the men working there saw the bees that were accompanying me, they ran for safety at top speed.
Soon my eyes had completely closed. I fell into a heap of brick dust used for building. I pushed myself frantically down into this until my head and shoulders were covered. I immediately found myself in a worse situation, the dust choking out what little life I had left. When I struggled up out of the brick dust, the angry swarm made a new attack on me. I was now at the end of my tether. I ran weakly about in circles. Then I went down, in a state of come.
My rescue was made by two quick-witted Gurkhas who raced to a heap of dry grass and quickly surrounded me with a thick wall of fire and smoke until the bees were driven away. They remained with me, I later learned, taking stings out of my swollen body for the next three hours until a doctor was found and brought.

Passage 2
The earliest films were short, lasting only one minute or less. People could, for one cent, see simple action films of trains, fire engines, parades, crowds on city streets, and similar subjects. Soon 20-minute pictures of news items were being shown in theaters at the end of the regular stage show. Later, films used a new method (putting the beginning of one scene upon the end of the scene before) for magical effects and to tie a story together. In 1903 a film was made about a train robbery. Much of the action took place at the same time---the robbers escaping, the men meeting and planning to capture them---and the scenes moved smoothly, back and forth, from one scene to another instead of unnaturally showing each scene separately. This was the earliest successful film in which scenes were filmed at different places and times and they combined to make a logical story. A short time later, theaters showed for five cents a whole hour's entertainment of short films---comedy, travel, and drama. These films were simple and rough, and many were vulgar. Gradually, the audiences improved as the techniques improved.
Before 1910 actors were employed in films without their names being given, because the producers were afraid that, if an actor became well known, he might demand more money. But later it became known that a film with a popular actor in it could be sold at a higher price to theater owners than could a film in which the actor was not known. Soon "movie star" won fame wherever films were shown. By 1915 the more popular stars were earning as much as $2,000 a week, and large theaters were being built downtown in all the larger cities to show films alone. The films shown in those theaters were of several types: comedies, emphasizing speed, movement, and camera tricks; "westerns," which showed, then as now, the American cowboy fighting on the side of law and justice; murder mysteries and crime stories, and special films on art, music, and other cultural subjects.
6. Pictures of paradox shown in the first films went on for no more than________.
A) one minute B) 20 minutes
C) a whole hour D) about two minutes
7. It was not until 1903 that people began to make films________.
A) by using magical effects
B) by naturally joining the scenes together in a story
C) at a railroad station
D) by putting the beginning of one scene upon the end of another
8. The first successful film in which the pictures were taken at different places and times and then put together logically was about ________.
A) a train accident B) the robbery of a train
C) a story of a train D) the capturing of the robbers
9. It was most likely that "movie stars" began to appear ________.
A) as early as 1903 B) not until 1910
C) in 1915 D) after 1915
10. This passage is mainly about ________.
A) modern movie development
B) early movie stars
C) various types of films in the early 20th century
D) history of film-making
Passage 3
On May 13, 1787, a fleet of English ships set sail for Australia with about 750 people. These men and women were no ordinary passengers. They were convicts.being sent to Australia as punishment for their crimes.
Laws in England during this period were very harsh, and people were punished severely for even the smallest crimes. A man could be sentenced to death for hunting on another man’s property or he could be put to death for chopping down someone else’s tree. For many other crimes, the punishment was “transportation” .The guilty person was shipped to a distant land where he was forced to work without pay. Often women and children were shipped to other land, too.
In 1770, Captain Cook had discovered the continent of Australia and claimed it for England. At first, England found no use for this vast land on the other side of the world, but then the American Revolution took place. England could no longer ship her convicts to the American colonies. So she turned to Australia as a good place for her prisoners.
A former naval captain was picked to accompany the convicts to the new colony. His job was to help them build a settlement which he would govern. The captain was glad to go. He believes the convicts could learn to live in peace. He felt they would obey the laws in new country.
In January 1788, the English fleet and its stranger cargo landed in Australia. After days of searching, the captain found a fine harbor. The land nearby had tree and streams. The convicts colony made a new beginning here. Austra lia’s history had begun.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
One day a police officer managed to get some fresh mushrooms. He was so pleased with what he had bought that he offered to share the mushrooms with his fellow officers. When their breakfast arrived the next day, each officer found some mushrooms on his plate.
“Let the dog examine a piece first,” suggested one careful officer who was afraid that the mushrooms might be poisonous.
The dog seemed to enjoy his mushroom, and the officers then began to eat their meal, saying the mushrooms had a very strange but quite pleasant taste.
An hour later, however, they were all astonished when the gardener rushed in and said seriously that the dog was dead. Immediately, the officers jumped into their cars and rushed to the nearest hospital. Pumps were used and the officers had a very hard time getting rid of the mushrooms that remained in their stomachs.
When they returned to the police station, they sat down and started to discuss the mushroom poisoning. Each man complained the pains that he had felt. The gardener was called to tell the way in which the poor dog had died. “Did it suffer much before death?” asked one of the officers, feeling very pleased that he had escaped a painful death himself. “No,” the gardener looked rather surprised. “It was killed the moment a car hit it.”

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.
Male pilots flying general aviating (private) aircraft in the United States are more likely to crash due to inattention or flawed decision-making, while female pilots are more likely to crash from mishandling the aircraft. These are the results of a study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health.
The study identifies the differences between male and female pilots in terms of circumstances of the crash and the type of pilots error involved. “Crashes of general aviation aircraft account for 85 percent of all aviation deaths in the United States. The crash rate for male pilots, as for motor vehicle drivers, exceeds that of crashes of female pilots,” explains Susan P. Baker, MPH, professor of health policy and management at the Bloomberg School of Public Health. “Because pilot youth an d inexperience are established contributors to aviation crashes, we focused on only mature pilots, to determine the gender differences in the reasons for the crash. ”
The researchers extracted data for this study from a large research project on pilot aging and flight safety. The data were gathered from general aviation crashes of airplanes and helicopters between 1983 and 1997, involving 144 female pilots and 267 male pilots aged 40-63. Female pilots were matched with male pilots in a 1:2 ratio, by age, classes of medical and pilot certificates, state or area of crash, and year of crash. Then the circumstances of the crashes and the pilot error involved were categorized and coded without knowledge of pilot gender.
The researchers found that loss of control on landing or takeoff was the most common circumstance for both sexes, leading to 59 percent of female pilots’ crashes and 36 percent of males. Experiencing mechanical failure, running out of fuel, and landing the plane with the landing gear up were among the factors more likely with males, while stalling was more likely with females.
The majority of the crashes—95 percent for females and 88 percent for males—involved at least one type of pilot error. Mishandling aircraft kinetics was the most common error for both sexes, but was more common among females (accounting for 81 percent of the crashes) than males (accounting for 48 percent). Males, however, appeared more likely to be guilty of poor decision-making, risk-taking, and inattentiveness, examples of which include misjudging weather and visibility or flying an aircraft with a known defect. Females, though more likely to mishandle or lose control of the aircraft, were generally more careful than their male counterparts.
6. What is the research at Johns Hopkins University about?
A)Causes of aircraft crash.
B)Gender difference in relation to types of aircraft crashes.
C)Causes of mishandling aircraft.
D)Gender discrimination in general aviation in the United States.
7. Which of the statements is NOT true according to the second paragraph?
A) Crashes of general aviation aircraft is a major source of aviation accidents in the United
States.
B) Male pilots, like male vehicle drivers, are more likely to have accidents than female pilots.
C) It is commonly known that aircraft crashes are mostly caused by young and inexperienced pilots.
D) Only mature pilots are studied to determine the gender differences in the reasons for
aircraft crash.
8. How did the researchers carry out their study?
A) They studied the findings of several previous research projects.
B) They conducted a questionnaire with 411 pilots.
C) They collected data from the database at the Johns Hopkins University.
D) They analyzed the circumstances of the crashes involved.
9. What is the most common circumstance of crash with female pilots?
A) Mechanical failure and running out of fuel.
B) Loss of control on landing or takeoff and stalling.
C) Loss of control on landing or takeoff and running out of fuel.
D) Stalling and landing with the gear up.
10. In the comparison of female and male pilots.
A) female pilots are found to be more courageous and risk-taking.
B) male pilots are found to be more professional and attentive.
C) female pilots are found to make more errors out of carelessness.
D) male pilots are found to make more errors in decision-making.

(英语)高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1.阅读理解 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they've learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one's action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life. (1)It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A. very good players on the team B. addicted to alcohol and drugs C. three junior students and two senior students D. scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol (2)What did the girls do to support their coach's decision? A. They didn't fight for Danville High School any more. B. They all gave speeches to apologize in the local press. C. They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium. D. They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life. (3)Which word best describes the coach Rainville? A. Indifferent. B. Strict. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel. (4)Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Growing up with pain B. A bad mistake C. Team rules are everything D. Basketball girls in high school 【答案】(1)A

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1.阅读理解 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸,拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps,back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time. (1)Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps? A. Because he was injured in his swimming. B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment. C. Because westerners know a little about TCM. D. Because westerners attach great importance to TCM. (2)Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases. B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture. C. Because Western medicine is more effective. D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly. (3)Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4? A. The methods of planting herbs. B. The effectiveness of prescription. C. Lacking in standardization. D. Its stable functions.
