英語閱讀理解及答案1

　　Many people in high school cannot wait to go to college and leave their hometown behind.Questions arise, though, when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college. One of the first considerations may be finance.State and public colleges are often the least expensive.Often, though, the better colleges are private and more expensive. It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons. Another major factor is location.Whether the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities.A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake.Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college.Distance from home may also come into consideration.If family is a top priority, that person should stay close to home; on the other hand, if independence is desired, a campus farther from home would be more appropriate. School size also plays a major role in the decision process.If you want to get to know your teachers, a small college is suitable.For those of you who consider yourself a “people_person” and want a wide range of activities, a large college is more fitting. Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decisionmaking process if you want to get the most from your education.The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you. Crucially(至關(guān)重要地), one must take into consideration the colleges by which you can realistically be accepted.An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match.Similarly, an average school for an aboveaverage student would not work well.The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard.Although there may not be the perfect college out there, there probably will be one that is close.Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.

　　The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other forever. He sent his camera crew out one evening to film the sunset for him.

　　The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?”

　　“No, sir,” the men answered.

　　The director was angry. “Why not?” he asked.

　　“Well, sir,” one of the men answered, “we’re on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”

　　“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”

　　But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don’t you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then it’ll look like a sunset.”

　　“That’s a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”

　　The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir,” they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased.

　　They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the ‘sunset’ behind them.”

　　The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.

　　The birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.

　　1. One evening, the director sent his camera crew out _________.

　　A. to film a scene on the sea B. to find an actor and an actress

　　C. to watch a beautiful sunset D. to meet the audience

　　There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is reared. If an individual is handicapped envionmentally ,it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable. The importance of environment in determining an individual's intellingence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old , their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes. Peter was reated by parents of low intelligence in an isolatedcommunity with poor educational pooprtunities.Mark was reared inthe home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child , sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually.This enviromental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were giben tesets to measure their intelligence. Mark's I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities , the twins , having identical brains,would have tested at roughly the same level.

　　1.This selection can best be titled_________.

　　a.Measuring Your Intelligence

　　b.Intelligence and Environment c.The Case of Peter and Mark

　　d.How the brain Influences Intelligence

　　2.The beststatement of the main idea of this passage is that _____. a.human brains differ considerably

　　b.the brain a person is born with is improtant in determining his intelligence c.environment is crucial in determining a person's intelligence d. persons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence

　　3.According to the passage , the average I.Q.is _____.

　　a.85 b.100

　　c.110

　　d.125

　　4.The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that _______. a.individual with identical brains seldom test at same level b.an individual's intelligence is determined only by his enviroment c.lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligence d.changes of enviroment produce changes in the structure of the brain

　　5.This passage suggests that an individual 's I.Q.______. a.can be predicted at birth

　　b.stays the same throuthout his life

　　c.can be increased by education

　　d.is determined by his childhood

　　Passage 1

　　One day an ant was drinking at a small stream and fell in. She made desperate efforts to reach the side, but made no progress at all. The poor ant almost

　　exhausted was still bravely doing her best when a dove saw her. Moved with pity, the bird threw her a blade of grass, which supported her like a raft, and thus the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass, she heard a man come near. He was walking along barefooted with a gun in his

　　hand. As soon as he saw the dove, he wished to kill it. He would certainly have done so, but the ant bit him in the foot just as he raised his gun to fire.

　　"Get up, get up, Jim. It's time to get up!" my mother said while she was pushing me. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. "Oh dear! It's a quarter to eight already. I'll be late for school again," I thought. I jumped out of the bed, washed my face, then hurried to the bus stop without breakfast. As soon as I got on the bus, it started running. "I'm sure I can get to the school on time," I said to myself. Suddenly the bus stopped. The bus driver got off the bus, then got on the bus again and said, "I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. There's something wrong with the bus. Please get off the bus and wait for another one." "I couldn't wait. The school is not far. I'd better run to the school," I thought, and then I began to run. But before I got to

　　the school, it began to rain hard.

　　I reached the classroom but I was wet shivering with cold. The physics teacher had already begun his lesson. It was Mr. Smith. He was about fifty years old. All the students were a little afraid of him and so was I. I liked neither him nor his physics lessons. I hesitated for a moment and then I opened the door. "I'm very sorry,

　　Mr. Smith. I'm late again," I said with a red face. "It's you again, Jim," Mr. smith said angrily. "I've told you not be late, but you…" he suddenly stopped and looked at my wet clothes. He turned to the class and said, "I'm very sorry, my boys and girls." With these words he quickly took off his own jacket and handed it to me. "Now take off your wet coat and put this one or you'll

　　catch cold," he said kindly.

　　I went to my seat with Mr. Smith's jacket on. It was a bit large for me but I felt very warm in it. I found, for the first time, physics was so interesting and how well I could understand it!

　　There was once a captain who loved money so much that he cheated his sailors

　　at the end of every voyage and took their wages. On the last day of one voyage, the ship was in a small port. It was winter time, and the sea was very cold, so the captain said to his sailors, "If one of you stays in the water during the whole night, I will give him my ship. But if he comes out

　　before the sun appears, I shall get his wages." The sailors had heard about the captain's cheating, so they didn't trust him. But then one of them, who thought that he was cleverer than the captain, said that he would do it. He got into the water, and, though it was very cold, he stayed in it. When it was nearly morning, some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half

　　a mile away.

　　"You are cheating," the captain said to the sailor. "The fire's warming you." "But it's half a mile away!" said the sailor.

　　"A fire's fire," answered the captain. "I have won." The sailor came out of the water, and said, "Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages, but you can't cook a chicken."

　　"I can," answered the captain.

　　"If you cook this chicken," said the sailor, "I shall work for you without wages for seven years, but if you can't, you will give me your ship." The captain agreed, took the chicken and said, "Where's the fire?" "There it is," answered the sailor. "On the shore."

　　閱讀理解綜合練習(xí)

　　Several years ago， a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker， another owned one of the largest companies in the world， and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.

　　The reporter was talking to them about being important.

　　“How do we know if someone is really important?” the reporter asked the banker.

　　The banker thought for a few moments and then said， “I think anybody who is invited to the Whiter House to meet the President of the United States is really important.”

　　The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked.

　　The man shook his head， “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You‘d only be important if while you were visiting the President， there was a telephone call from the president of another country， and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.”

　　The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so?”

　　“No， I don‘t，” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”

　　“Then what would make the visitor important?” the reporter and the other two men asked.

　　“Oh， I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang， and the President picked up the receiver， listened and then said， ‘It’s for you.‘ ”

英語閱讀理解及答案14

　　Real policemen hardly recognize any resemblance between their lives and what they see on TV —if they everget home in time. There are similarities, of course, but the cops don't think much of them.

　　The first difference is that a policeman's real life revolves round the law. Most of his training is in criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court. He has to know as a professional lawyer, and what is more, he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down an alley after someone he wants to talk to.

　　Little of his time is spent in chatting to scantily-clad (穿衣不多的) ladies or in dramatic confrontationswith desperate criminals. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty —or not —of stupid, petty crimes.

　　Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as he's arrested, the story is over. i real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks — where failure to produce results reflects on the standing of the police —little effortis spent on searching.

　　Having made an arrest, a detective really starts to work. He has to prove his case in court and to do thathe often has to gather a lot of different evidence. So, as well as being overworked, a detective has to beout at all hours of the day and night interviewing his witnesses and persuade them usually against their own best interests, to help him.

　　練習(xí)題：

　　Choose correct answers to the question:

　　1.The first sentence implies that ________.

　　A.the life of the real policemen and that of the policemen on TV are entirely different

　　B.the real policemen will find the similarities if they can get home in time

　　C.the real policemen seldom can get home in time to watch TV

　　D.the policemen shown on TV can always get home in time

　　2.It is essential for a policeman to be trained in criminal law _____.

　　A.so that he can catch criminals in the streets

　　B.because many of the criminals he has to catch are dangerous

　　C.so that he can justify his arrests in court

　　D.because he has to know nearly as much about law as a professional lawyer

　　3.The everyday life of a policeman or detective is ______.

　　A.exciting and glamorous

　　B. full of danger

　　C.devoted mostly to routine matters

　　D. wasted on unimportant matters

　　4.When murders and terrorist attacks occur,the police______.

　　A.prefer to wait for the criminal to give himself away

　　B.make great efforts to try to track down their man

　　C.try to make a quick arrest in order to keep up their reputation

　　D.usually fail to produce results

　　5.What’s the best title for the passage?

　　A.Policemen and Detective

　　B.Policemen’s Life-Fun and Fantasy

　　C.The Real Life of a Policeman

　　D.Drama and Reality

　　參考答案

　　1.[C] 推理判斷題。本題考查對第1句的理解。if引出的條件狀語從句前的破折號表明這個假設(shè)是相對于之前的看電視來說的，而不是相對于整句話的。該句特意用if作補(bǔ)充說明，暗示了一些附加的信息：真實生活中的警察通常很晚回家，連看電視都趕不上。由此可見,C是正確的理解。A說法過于絕對，與原文的hardly不符。

　　2.[C] 推理判斷題。本題考查內(nèi)在的因果關(guān)系。從第2段第3句可以推斷出答案,A毫無原文依據(jù)，原文中也并沒有暗示B和D這兩種因果關(guān)系。

　　3.[C] 推理判斷題。本題考查對長句的理解。根據(jù)第3段第2句可以推斷出答案。本題最具干擾性的是B，按照常識,警察的工作通常都被認(rèn)為很危險，但是第3段第1句由Little引出的`倒裝句表明了他們很少與亡命之徒交鋒，并非充滿危險，因此B不對;而D將在文中用來修飾people的unimportant拿來修飾“事情”,顯然偷換概念，曲解原文。

　　4.[B] 推理判斷題。本題考查對復(fù)合句的理解。答題關(guān)鍵在于正確理解第4段最后一句，except引出的句子暗示警方只有在遇到特別嚴(yán)重的犯罪時追捕罪犯才會花費(fèi)很大的氣力，B符合文意。本題最具干擾性的是C,由本句第2個破折號后的內(nèi)容可知此處主要強(qiáng)調(diào)“費(fèi)不費(fèi)勁”的問題，而C中的make a quick airest并未突顯出原文的關(guān)鍵含義，不如B準(zhǔn)確。

　　5.[C] 主旨大意題。本文的重點(diǎn)是說瞀察們的現(xiàn)實生活，全文將這種現(xiàn)實生活與電視里面展現(xiàn)的作比較,是為澄清事實，故C可概括全文主題。

英語閱讀理解及答案15

　　How did your friendships begin? Most start with a short conversation on a random day.Asking about a homework assignment in class or complaining about your sore legs after playing in a soccer game, you found your best pal by accident. “Small talk is where all your relationships begin，”Forbes magazine summed up. The following is a fivestep guide to making small talk from Bernardo J．Carducci, the director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast，US.Let's have a look.

　　1．Getting started

　　Begin by talking about the setting, such as the weather outside or the room you are in (“It's cold in here，isn't it？”)．The purpose of talking about the setting is to show the other person that you are willing to make a conversation. 2．The personal introduction

　　You should mention something about yourself, such as your name.A good personal introduction helps move the conversation forward. 3．Looking for topics

　　At this point, you and your conversation partner need to find common

　　ground. This is a good time to ask questions or to refer back to things you've said or heard earlier.Don't worry if it gets quiet.The other person is probably just thinking of something to say. 4．Expanding the topic

　　The goal is to keep the conversation going.At every stage, you should be careful not to talk too much.But don't let the other person dominate(支配) the conversation either.If that starts to happen, mention something about yourself when he or she takes a breath. 5．A polite ending

　　When ending a conversation, let the person know you'll be leaving soon, express gratitude for the conversation and set the stage for a future conversation.For example，you could say，“I really must be going soon，but I had a great time chatting with you.I really liked hearing your opinion about that new movie.Here's my phone number.Call or text me if you know of any other movies you think I might enjoy.”

　　1．According to the article, starting by talking about the setting is meant to .

　　A．find common ground

　　B．impress the other person

　　C．make the room warmer

　　D．show your eagerness to make a conversation 答案：D

　　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段“The purpose of talking about the setting is to show the other person that you are willing to make a conversation.”可知談?wù)摥h(huán)境是一個很好的`表達(dá)你想要交流的契機(jī)。

　　2．What is the reader advised to do when making small talk? A．Turn the conversation to your advantage. B．Never cut in when the other person is talking. C．Do whatever you can to avoid quiet moments. D．Focus on topics both sides are interested in. 答案：D

　　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第六段“At this point，you and your conversation partner need to find common ground.”可知。

　　3．When ending a conversation，you'd better . A．talk about how much you want to keep talking B．show that you've not enjoyed the talk

　　C．mention a specific movie that you love

　　D．give your opinion about the other person's earlier comments 答案：A

　　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段可知，在你即將離開前，要先給予對方暗示，同時還要傳遞“我很想把本次談話延續(xù)下去”的意思。故A項符合。

　　4．The main purpose of the article is to .

　　A．encourage students to make more friends at school

　　B．give students tips on making small talk

　　C．introduce popular topics for students to have daily conversations about D．teach students how to create their friendships

　　答案：D

　　解析：寫作意圖題。根據(jù)文章第一段可知這是寫給學(xué)生看的。再結(jié)合第一句話“How did your friendship begin？”可推測作者的意圖是向?qū)W生介紹如何建立友誼。
