A

I have been a music fan ever since I was a little kid. It must have been my eldest brother who brought me to the world of music, which later in my life became the source of happiness

and sadness. My brother liked to play the dizi, a very traditional musical instrument which was very popular in the 1970's. Greatly influenced by his enthusiasm to music, I learned to play the dizi in my spare time.

Do you know what the most popular form of culture was in the 1970's? The so-called model dramas, that is, "Modern revolutionary Beijing opera", which were officially formed during the Cultural Revolution. Their materials were from the communist activities or related subjects. From morning till night, you would hear them broadcast over and over again. Frankly speaking, model dramas served as my guide to music to some extent（程度）because the music was really wonderfully made.

Later I met my desk-mate, who was then also a music lover. Having much in common, we soon became good friends. Very often we listened to the radio, learned new songs and then sang them on our way home. I still remember one day in class we even put our radio beneath the surface of our desk and kept our ears close to it, listening to the pop songs of that time with the teacher giving his lesson in front. Does it shock you? At the beginning of the 1980's, films were very much popular with young people and the songs in them would soon become the hits. At the same time, many film stars like Liu Xiaoqing, Chen Chong captured the hearts of us late 1960's generation.

I spent my high school days in the world of music and continued my passion for music in my spare time in my following years.

1. The author of the passage began his musical hobby with .

A. Beijing opera

B. radio broadcast

C. films

D. dizi

During the 20th century there has been a great change in the lives of women.

A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century probably has been in her middle 20's and would be likely to have seven or eight children. By the time the youngest was 15, the mother would have been in her early 50's and would expect to live a further 20 years, during which chance and health made

it hard for her to get paid work.

Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman's youngest child will be 15 when she is 45 and she can be expected to live another 35 years and is likely to get paid work until 60.

This important change in women's life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a fulltime job. However, when they married they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is 16, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more return to work later. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties of family life.

4. We learn from this passage that in the 19th century .

A. there were more children in the world than there are today

B. women spent a greater part of their lives raising

C. there were more women in poor health than there are today

D. women married younger than they do today

5. One reason why a married woman of today may take a job is that .

A. she is young when her children can look after themselves

B. she is obliged to help her husband support the family

C. she feels lonely at home when her children grow up

D. she hopes to change the world a bit

6. Many girls are now likely to .

A. give up their jobs after they get married

B. leave school as soon as they can

C. marry early so that they can get better jobs

D. continue working until they are going to have a baby

7. Now a husband probably .

A. plays a greater part in doing housework

B. does almost all of the housework

C. feels unhappy about his wife's going out to work

D. takes a part-time job so as to help at home

C

Tens of thousands of travelers from around the world pelted each other with tonnes (公吨) of tomatoes on Wednesday in a festival in the eastern Spanish town of Bunol.

The one-hour bloodless battle, known as the Tomatina, left the town awash in a sea of tomato pulp（果肉）.

The local government brought in some 100 tonnes of ripe tomatoes on trucks for the about 40,000 tourists who visited the town of just 9,000 local people for the yearly festival, which has taken place for more than 60 years. Many of them were shirtless while others wore old clothes and hard hats.

Afterwards, workers clean the walls and streets to remove the tomato pulp.

Spanish media said the tomatoes cost the local government around 28,000 euros (35,000 dollars), about one third of the total amount of money for the festival, most of which goes to pay for security, cleaning services, and mobile toilets.

More than 100 police and 120 civil protection volunteers were on hand in case of incidents.

The Tomatina is held each year in Bunol, located in a rich area some 40 kilometres (25 miles) north of the coastal city of Valencia, Spain's third-largest city, on the last Wednesday in August.

The origins of the event are unclear although it is thought to have its roots in a food fight between childhood friends in the mid-1940s in the city.

It has grown in size as international newspaper coverage brought more and more people to the festival.

8. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Tomatina--a local government's headache

B. Tomatina--a Spanish tomato festival

C. Tomatina--an international incident

D. Tomatina--a one-hour bloody battle

9. What does the underlined word "pelt" in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. catch

B. connect

C. throw

D. trick

10. The local government will be concerned about the following EXCEPT .

A. preventing the citizens and tourists from fighting

B. asking workers to tidy the street after the battle

C. buying tonnes of tomatoes for the festival

D. providing the rest rooms for all present

11. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. The local government spent more than 80,000 euros on the festival.

B. The festival is organized by a non-government organization.

C. Tourists have to buy tomatoes from the local people.

D. Most local people are poor and shirtless.

Michelle Obama has started a campaign against childhood obesity in the US, saying that it is a problem that concerns her both as first lady and as a mother.

Mrs. Obama said that the fight was designed to encourage people to live healthier lives, but admitted that she herself was not immune to the temptations of junk food. "I love hamburgers and fries. And I love ice cream and cakes. And so do most kids," she said. But she added: "We' re not talking about a lifestyle that avoids all that."

"The question is how we help people balance that out so that they're not facing life-threat-

ening illnesses, but they're enjoying their food, they're eating their vegetables, they're doing th-

eir running and walking and playing and still have time to get a good, fun meal in every once in a while."

One in three American children is overweight or obese, patting them at higher risk of develop-

ing diabtes（糖尿病）, high blood pressure, high cholesterol（胆固醇）and other illnesses. Billions of dollars are spent every year treating obesityrelated conditions. "None of us wants this future for our kids," Mrs. Obama said at the White House.

"We have to act, so let's move."

Her campaign has four parts: helping parents make better food choices, serving healthier food in school vending（出售）machines and lunch lines, making healthy food more affordable, and encouraging children to exercise more.

The campaign, which Mrs. Obama hopes will be seen as her gift, is aimed at solving the childhood obesity problem in a generation, so that children born today can reach adulthood at a healthy weight.

"This isn't like a disease where we're still waiting for the treatment to be discovered. We know the treatment for this," she said at the starting ceremony. President Barack Obama praised his wife for dealing with what he called one of "the most urgent health issues facing the country."

"This has great promise in improving the health of our children, in giving support to parents to make the kinds of healthy choices that are often very difficult," he said.

12. What's the main idea of the passage?

A. The first lady enjoys her healthy eating lifestyle.

B. The first lady started a movement against fat people.

C. The first lady is eager for forming her healthy eating habit.

D. The first lady calls for improving the health of American children.

13. Her campaign includes the following parts EXCEPT .

A. providing better food for parents

B. supplying healthy food for school lunch

C. keeping the healthy food cheaper

D. asking children to do more sports

14. What's the purpose of the campaign?

A. Helping her husband President Obama solve the urgent issue.

B. Attracting the international attention to the children obesity.

C. Cutting down the cost spent every year treating obesity.

D. Expecting the American children to grow up stronger.

15. What did Mrs. Obama mean when she said "she herself was not immune to the temptations of junk food"?

A. She was hurt by junk food for most of the time.

B. She was willing to accept junk food sometimes.

C. She wanted to get rid of the bad habit of eating junk food.

D. She was eager for a cure for unhealthy eating habit. 1—15 DBABA DABCA ADADB

高考英语阅读理解训练50篇

阅读理解训练50篇（1） 1 Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell.But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hor- mones (荷尔蒙).They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etC．In general the person feels excited and ready to act. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.” Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger. 1．“Damaging emotion” means t hat _________. A．the emotion is harmless B．the emotion is harmful C．the feeling is very strong D．the feeling is hard 2．What statement is right? A．Were you angry, you would be cancered (得癌症).

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析

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.

(英语)高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案

（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

2. The underlined sentence in the passage means that you’d better ask for a raise ______. A. when the employer has a normal pulse rate B. when the employer is in a good mood C. when the company has a good financial situation D. when the company’s practices are more flexible 3. Which of the following is NOT true? A. The employer will give you a raise because of your personal reasons. B. You should show them that you’re worthy of a salary increase. C. You can tell your boss the exact number of salary increase you want D. Schedule a meeting with your boss but don’t push too hard. 4. It can be inferred in the last paragraph that ______. A. If your boss won’t give you a raise, you’d better take fewer responsibilities. B. It is a wise way to get a raise by letting your boss know you are doing more. C. Only if you find a proper time to talk with your boss will you get a raise. D. You should schedule a meeting within a few months to discuss the matter again. B Here’s one number to keep in mind during your next cell phone conversation: 50. A new experiment shows that spending 50 minutes with an active phone pressed up to the ear increases activity in the brain. This brain activity probably doesn't make you smarter. When cell phones are on, they emit (发出) energy in the form of radiation that could be harmful, especially after years of cell phone usage. Scientists don't know yet whether cell phones are bad for the brain. Studies like this one are attempting to find it out. The 47 participants in the experiment may have looked a little strange. Each one had two Samsung cell phones attached to his or her head — one on each ear. The phone on the left ear was off. The phone on the right ear played a message for 50 minutes, but the participants couldn't hear it because the sound was off. With this set-up, the scientists could be sure they were studying brain activity from the phone itself, and not brain activity due to listening and talking during a conversation. After 50 minutes with two phones strapped to their heads, the participants were given PET scans. The PET scan showed that the left side (the side with the phone turned off) of each participant's brain hadn't changed during the experiment. The right side of the brain, however, had used more glucose, which is a type of sugar that provides fuel to brain cells. These right-side brain cells were using almost as much glucose as the brain uses when a person is talking. This suggests th at the brain cells there were active ― even without the person hearing anything. That activity, the scientists say, was probably caused by radiation from the phone. Henry Lai, who works at the University of Washington in Seattle, is uncomfortable with the data related to cell phones. Holding a cell phone to your ear during a conversation is “not really safe,” Lai told Science News. Lai is a bioengineer at the University of Washington in Seattle. He wrote an article about the new study for a journal, but he did not work on the study. Bioengineers bring together ideas from engineering and biology. For those who don't want to wait to find out for sure whether cell phones are bad for the brain, there are ways to talk more safely. You can have short and sweet conversations, use a
