THE people have spoken –The Big Bang Theory is a worldwide sensation (引起轰动的事情). In January, the popular American sitcom earned its second People’s Choice Award for Best Network TV Comedy. As popular character Sheldon Cooper might say: “Bazinga!”, meaning “Gotcha”. In the US, the show’s popularity h as increased from an average of 8.31 million viewers per episode during season one to 18.61 million during the current, sixth season. So, how does The Big Bang Theory keep adding viewers after six years?

According to Dan Martin, TV critic for The Guardian, the show’s focus on nerd (书呆子) culture “speaks to its viewers” in a way that Friends did in the 1990s with its focus on coffee-house culture. In 2013, being a geek (对电脑痴迷的人) in a lab coat is cool, and The Big Bang Theory’s characters, such as Howard and Raj, fit the bill.

But being a nerd also means knowing your fantasy and sci-fi entertainment, and The Big Bang Theory is peppered (充满) with pop culture homages (敬意). Kenneth Andrews, writer at https://www.wendangku.net/doc/a719220178.html,, notes that the show includes “references to cult fra nchises (备受推崇的剧目) such as Doctor Who, Star Trek, … Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter.” Viewers appreciate that the show’s characters love the same entertainment that they do. Leonard even dressed up as Frodo Baggins, the protagonist (主角) of Lord of the Rings, for Halloween, in season one episode The Middle-Earth Paradigm.

But the show’s influence has extended even to the real setting that it satirizes (讽刺): the world of science. In November 2011, The Guardian reported that “there was a 10 percent increase[in the UK] in the number of students accepted to [university physics programs] between 2008-09, when The Big Bang Theory was first broadcast in the UK, and 2010-11.” And in January 2013, a group of biologists in Brazil named a bee species after Sheldon’s catchphrase (口头), “Bazinga!”, according to CNN’s Lightyears blog.

Sounds like geeks the world over have a new rallying cry. Thanks, Sheldon.

FOR many die-hard fans, soccer is more than just a game. It’s a source of identity, a link to the culture of a place or region –and never more so than on derby (同城比赛) day. Those who support the victor gain bragging rights, renewed faith and increased optimism for the coming months. The losers’ supporters, on the other hand, earn wounded pride and dreams of revenge next time.

To see this phenomenon in action, look no further than Spain’s national derby – Real Madrid versus FC Barcelona.

On Feb 26, the two powerhouses staged a breathtaking showdown (一决胜负). Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice to lead Real Madrid to a 3-1 win.

At Barcelona’s Camp Nou Stadium before Tuesday’s match, when thousands of Barcelona fans held up red and gold cards forming a big mosaic of the Catalan national flag, it became clear that this clash goes far beyond sports.

According to the BBC, the rivalry (对立) goes back to the 1930s. Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia, a Northeastern autonomous region in Spain where many people desire greater independence from the central Spanish government. After the Spanish Civil War, the government suppressed the Catalan language and culture.

While the Catalonians and their club FC Barcelona fought to maintain their identity, Francisco Franco, the fascist ruler of Spain at that time, treated Real Madrid better. Throughout the years, FC Barcelona was a symbol of strength for the Catalan region. There is nothing Catalans enjoy more than beating Real Madrid – a team with strong links to Spain’s ruling family.

But Real Madrid and FC Barcelona is not the only pair fighting for pride. Another fierce derby is between Boca Juniors and River Plate in Argentina. UK newspaper The Observer even placed attending the Argentinian event atop their list of “50 sporting things you must do before you die”.

Both clubs originated in the La Boca district in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. In 1925, however, River moved to a wealthier district of the city. “Ju st seven kilometers separates these two fierce rivals but a huge class divide fuels their bitter hatred for each other,”

noted The Observer. Some 70 percent of Argentines support either “aristocratic” River or the traditionally “working class” Boca.

“It is a carnival-like atmosphere… Fans exchange songs and flares, and flag-burning is a regular occurrence,” the paper wrote.

4. Why did the Barcelona fans make a big mosaic of the Catalan national flag?

A. To represent Catalan identity.

B. To call for a more united country.

C. To show their love and support for Spain.

D. To impress and entertain the audience.

5. What is the biggest reason for Boca Juniors and River Plate’s rivalry?

A. Different cultures.

B. Different religions.

C. Different social classes.

D. The competition system.

6. What is the article mainly about?

A. What soccer fan culture is.

B. Why derbies are so fierce.

C. How derby came into being.

D. How rivalry between two teams makes their game more interesting.

WHEN I signed up to volunteer as a team leader for the Special Olympics, I had no idea what it would entail (带来). Standing in the middle of the crowded gymnasium, I waited anxiously for my team of girls to be called. Suddenly, a small group of schoolgirls closed in on me.

One young woman bounced clumsily toward me with such liveliness. Gravity seemed to have no effect on her. Strands of brown hair swayed back and forth in front of her blue eyes with every step, and a huge smile warmed her freckled face.

I felt paralyzed as I realized she was heading directly toward me. She stood next to me, placed her arm on my shoulder, and said, “Hi, I’m Jane.”

“Hi, I’m Sandy.”

Then, moving even closer, she said: “Hi, Sandy. I’m Jane.”

Smiling, I asked: “How are you, Jane?”

“Fine,” she said.

Just then the whistle announced the first event: a

basketball-dribbling relay. The girls lined up behind the starting line, ready to dribble the ball to the other end of the court and back again.

When it was Jane’s turn, she looked at me and said: “Watch, Sandy.

I can do this.” As she attempted to dribble, her bouncing gait (步法) kept her from controlling the ball. With almost every step, Jane’s foot would kick the ball, sending it flying across the gymnasium.

“You can do it, Jane!” I yelled.

.Her smile never faded as she happily retrieved (重新得到) the ball and resumed (再次开始) where she had left off. It took two more trips

across the gymnasium before Jane was back at my side

“I did good, didn’t I, Sandy?” Jane asked proudly. “Yes, you did fine.”

Then, Jane on ce again placed her arm on my shoulder and declared: “Hi Sandy, I’m Jane.”

“Yes, you are Jane, a wonderful young lady,” I responded, with a reassuring smile. This game continued throughout the other events.

At the end of the day, each athlete received a ribbon. No one on my team came in first. Rankings weren’t important.

Because of Jane, I now find joy in the little things. I know that winning isn’t the only thing that matters. When life sends me in an unexpected direction, I now get right back on course and start again, with a smile like hers.

Every once in a while, I can feel her arm rest on my shoulder and hear her say: “Hi Sandy, I’m Jane. You did good.”

9. When Jane said “I did good, didn’t I, Sandy?”, what was the author’s response?

A. She agreed with her sincerely.

B. She agreed for fear of hurting her self-esteem.

C. She wondered why Jane was so confident.

ONE summer I was driving from my hometown of Tahoe City, California to New Orleans, Louisiana. In the middle of the desert, I passed a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. There was a time when you’d be called a jerk (混蛋) for passing by somebody in need. Now you’re a fool for he lping. “I don’t want to get involved” seems to have become a national motto.

Several days later I was thinking about the hitchhiker, about how I didn’t even lift my foot off the accelerator for him.

“Does anyone stop any more?” I wondered. Blanche DuBois once said: “I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.” Was that possible these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey across the US without any money, just relying on the good will of others. What would happen? Would he find food, shelter and support?

The idea intrigued (激起兴趣) me.

The week I turned 37, I realized that I had never done something truly crazy. So I decided to really do it: travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. I would only accept offers of rides, food and places to sleep.

For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states. I was treated kindly everywhere I went. I was amazed by people’s readiness to help a stranger.

In Nebraska, a house painter named Mike noted the chilly weather and asked if I had a coat. I didn’t, so he g ave me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker in Michigan named Tim invited me to a simple dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me a tent.

I refused, but Tim insisted, packing it into my bag himself. I found people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people bought me food and gave me necessities. Those who had the least to give often gave the most.

I’m grateful to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter and their gifts. My faith in ordinary folks was renewed. It turns out you can still depend on the kindness of strangers.

11. How did the author feel days after he refused to give the young man

a ride?

A. Guilty.

B. Worried.

C. Confused.

D. Embarrassed.

12. Why did the author decide to go on a hitchhiking journey without any money?

A. To test his doubts about people’s kindness.

B. To experience the culture of hitchhiking.

C. To call for trust and love among people.

D. To have a fun and cool birthday party.

13. What does the underlined word “compassionate” in Paragraph 7 mean?

A. Inspiring.

B. Sympathetic.

C. Passionate.

D. Responsible.

14. During the author’s journey, _____.

A. he found his previous faith in people proved correct

B. he was impressed that poor people were more eager to help

C. he made lots of friends and learned many practical survival skills

D. he didn’t receive as much help as he had expected

2020-2021高考英语 阅读理解训练经典题目(含答案) (2)

2020-2021高考英语阅读理解训练经典题目(含答案) 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 "When someone is rude to you, it can put you in a bad mood. It may even lead you to be rude to someone else, creating a chain of rudeness. In fact, this troubling chain may even be caused by simply seeing someone be rude to another person. You don't even have to be the target of the had behavior," stated a researcher. The researchers worked with 81 persons, with occupations ranging from security to business to medicine, who were asked to complete online surveys over a 10-day period. Participants recorded their moods when they woke up; and in the evening, they described their experiences over the course of that day. Each morning the participants also viewed a short video, describing workplace interaction of some kind. Half of the mornings, the video included some kind of rudeness while the other half had some kind of warm interaction in the workplace. Rudeness was conveyed through various means, including a lack of eye contact or unpleasant language. Participants who watched the rudeness videos reported seeing or experiencing rudeness during the day, and they were also more likely to escape from fellow employees to avoid being the victims of rudeness themselves. They reported their overall work suffered that day as a result. Not all participants were affected by the rudeness videos, however. A few weeks before the study began, the participants completed an evaluation that measured their self-confidence and emotional stability among other things. The participants who scored higher on this evaluation were significantly less likely to be influenced by the rudeness. Consequently, one of the researchers recommended that companies hire managers who can limit exposure to rudeness, provide plenty of positive reinforcement (强化) and build a civil workplace environment. This, in turn, could help employees build their confidence levels and help them better handle workplace rudeness. （1）What is Paragraph 1 intended to show? A. The popularity of rudeness. B. A regular cause of rudeness. C. A new finding about rudeness. D. The common disadvantage of rudeness. （2）Why are the short videos played for the participants? A. To make them spread rudeness. B. To educate them on workplace interaction. C. To expose them to various aspects of rudeness. D. To teach them how to use right body languages. （3）What is the probable effect of watching the videos on some participants? A. Being unwilling to work. B. Poor ability to do their work. C. Serious emotional sufferings. D. Less interaction with others. （4）Who may not be affected by the rudeness videos? A.People positive and kind to themselves. B.People keeping calm in stressful situations.

And when it comes to celebration, festivals offer something for everyone. Mardi Gras (New Orleans, Louisiana) Also known as Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras in New Orleans is a cultural event. Though the celebration is held every year, the festivities last for months. And if you love music, check out the annual Galactic concert at the world­famous Tipitina's on Lundi Gras (the day before Mardi Gras). La Tomatina (Valencia, Spain) Launched way back in 1944 or 1945, La Tomatina is one of the oldest festivals on our list. It's also easily the happiest but the messiest, coming off like the world's biggest food fight. Legend has it that the whole thing started when some local boys joined a parade alongside musicians. The boys made the performers so angry that they tried to hit the boys, and a vendor's (摊贩) vegetable stand fell victim to the incident. If you go, please follow some simple rules: Don't throw hard objects; squash the tomato before throwing it; keep a safe distance from tomato trucks and stop in time. Montreux Jazz Festival (Switzerland) Founded back in 1967, Montreux is one of the oldest music festivals in the world. It is also the second largest jazz festival, after the Montreal International Jazz Festival. That Canadian concert may attract more visitors — around 2 million annually. But Montreux benefits from its pretty location on the attractive shores of Lake Geneva.

外刊精读 如何改善睡眠质量 导读： 有很多关于改善睡眠质量和增加睡眠时间的观念是错误的，其中一些甚至会对人们的健康造成损害。坐在电视机前打盹，一直躺在床上以帮助睡眠……这些方式可能并不像你想象的那样有益处。本文介绍一些可以帮助你改善睡眠质量的方法，以及一些关于“睡眠” 的词汇。 一、语篇泛读 Sleeping is important, but we all know that, right? Many people have experienced strange sleeping patterns, weird dreams and a feeling of restlessness and drowsiness during the coronavirus lockdown, despite a good night’s sleep. So what sort of things can help you to improve your sleep? There's a plethora of myths related to sleep, some of which can be quite damaging for our health. Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher famously claimed that she only hit the sack for five hours a night. But according to experts this is detrimental to health. Likewise, kipping in front of the TV is another thing to avoid. The bright lights can prevent you from entering deep sleep. From a young age we're told to count sheep to help us to nod off, with some choosing to stay in bed to battle with insomnia. However, some experts advice getting up and doing something mindless, like folding socks, to help us get in the mood to catch forty winks. Psychologist Seth J. Gillihan PhD recommends walking to help in the battle against insomnia. He talks about a sleep study published in the journal Sleep Health which suggests that those who walk slightly more will experience better

One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area. Paul knocked him down. From then on, something happened inside him. Years later Paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office. He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back. The answer from that big industry was “No”. Paul then went to college to study the science of plants. Unfortunately, his teachers said there weren’t any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds. It would be a waste of his life to try to do it. Everyone knew that, he was told. Even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected, he wouldn’t get his idea accepted. Paul later got married but his dream would not die. And then one night he did what he could with what he had.

It is a yearly event on 23rd April, organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO), to promote reading. In the United Kingdom, the day is recognized on the first Thursday in March. On 3rd March, 2016 children of all ages in the U．K. will come together to appreciate reading. Sometimes, reading a modern novel can be tough (Booker Prize winner The Luminaries runs to 832 pages! ), especially if reading is not your strong suit. In fact, one in six people in the U．K. never pick up a book because they've experienced difficulties or are out of the habit of reading for pleasure. The Galaxy Quick Reads series are designed to introduce reluctant readers to bestselling short funny novels, which bring the joy of reading without demanding hours of concentrated time. They cover a range of subjects, from romance to comedy. Jojo Moyes's Paris for One is a romantic adventure in which 26－year－old Nell books a weekend away to Paris with her lazy, neglectful boyfriend. When he fails to turn up, she is alone in the city. That is, until she meets Fabien, who shows her the charms of the French capital—in more ways than one. Adele Geras's moving story Out In The Dark was set in World War I, in which young Rob came back from the battlefields. Determined to find the officer's widow to return the photo of her and their daughter that the captain kept with him, he traveled several thousand miles but never gave up. Dead Man Talking is a fantastic tale of Pat, who had a terrible fight with his best friend, Joe, ten years ago—but now hears that Joe is dead, and he must attend his funeral. But Joe is not going quietly that very night—he's lying in his coffin being very chatty indeed. 体裁：说明文题材：介绍说明主题：《银河快速阅读》系列 语篇导读：有些书让不擅长阅读的读者望而却步。本文向读者举荐了《银河快速阅读》系列，并列举了其中几本读物。 1．What is the main aim of the World Book Day?
