阅读下列短文，按要求完成读写任务

(202_年全国Ⅰ卷)We have met the enemy，and he is ours.We bought him at a pet shop.When monkey­pox，a disease usually found in the African rain forest，suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest，it's hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing or on human beings.“Most of the infections we think of as human infections started in other animals，” says Morse，director of the Center for Public Health Preparedenss at Columbia University.It's not just that we're going to where the animals are，we're also bringing them closer to us.Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country.A strange illness killed Isaksen's pets，and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea.“I don't think it's fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them”，says Isaken.“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing，” says Peter Schantz.Monkey­pox may be the wake­up_call.Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners.We know very little about these new diseases.A new bug may be kind at first.But it may develop into something harmful.Monkey­pox doesn't look a major infectious disease.But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.Ⅰ.根据短文，写一篇30词左右的摘要

Ⅱ.根据所读短文，选择正确答案

1．What dose the word “monkey­pox” mean? A．a container to keep monkeys.B．a medicine for a monkey disease C．an infectious disease D．a popular foreign pet 2.What does the phrase “the wake­up call” most probably means? A．a new disease

B．a clear warning C．a dangerous animal D．a morning call 3．What does the word “bug” mean?

答案：A

Many of us mistakenly believe that it's wrong to think we have any good qualities.We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance.However, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people.How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed（有缺陷）? If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you.The person who doesn't like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy.Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time.Don't take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities.In fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else.For all the factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least as many factors that will work in your favor with someone else.You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life.There are many people who don’t mind your extra pounds.You may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend.There are people out there looking for loyalty, or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important.If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends.You can decide to feel inferior（自卑）because you don't have much money and you don't drive a nice car.You can believe that this is the reason that you don't have many friends in your life.On the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes you as a person.The point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe it's the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any.36.According to the author ___________ plays an important role in making friends.A.admitting your shortcomings B.self criticism C.modesty D.confidence 【答案】D 【解析】推理判断题。根据a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people.既然我们强调我们的缺点有可能在交朋友方面成为绊脚石，那么我们就应该自信，故选D。37.If you are not liked by a person, _________.A.you should find the reason in yourself B.you’d better talk with the person face to face C.you may not be the one to be blamed D.you and that person misunderstand each other 【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。根据If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you.The person who doesn't like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy.不喜欢你也许和你一点关系都没有，你也许不应该受到责备，故选C。

38.We can learn from the third paragraph that ____________.A.your good qualities may turn out to be your flaws B.your weakness may also be your strengths in some way C.your negative qualities cause a person to reject you D.you’ll have few friends if your flaws are bigger than your good qualities 【答案】B 【解析】细节理解题。根据In fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else.你的弱点也许是在某方面是你的强项，故选B。39.Which of the following is true according to the author? A.It is important to lose weight.B.It is easier for a wealthy person to make friends.C.Inner qualities are more important than physical appearance.(2)One mistaken idea about business is that it can be treated as a game of perfect information.Quite_the_reverse，business，politics，life itself are games which we must normally play with imperfect information.(1)依据信息“上学12年”、还“不会写一个句子”、“大喊大叫”，可知家长在指责校方，也就不难猜出illiterate意为“文盲”。

(2)前句说“关于商业的一个错误观点是商业可以看做完美的信息游戏”，而后句说“商业、政治、生活本身是非常不完美的信息游戏”，由此推之quite the reverse的意思是“正好相反”。

◆ 活学活用

(一)猜出下列句中划线单词的意思

1．Doctors believe that smoking cigarettes is detrimental to health.They also regard drinking as harmful.2．The hot­air balloon took off.It was buoyant in the air as a rose leaf in water.3．The consequences of epochal events such as wars and great scientific discoveries are not confined to a small geographical area as they were in the past.4．The child is as fragile as glass.5．He fell into a ditch and lay there，semiconscious，for a few minutes.(一)1．解析：从also推知harmful与detrimental同义，意思是“不利的，有害的”。答案：有害的，不利的

2．解析：从as a rose leaf in water(水中的玫瑰花瓣)可知buoyant是形容词，意为“漂浮的”。

答案：漂浮的

3．解析：从wars and great scientific discoveries可知epochal的意思是 “重要的”。

答案：重要的

4．解析：常识告诉我们“玻璃易碎”，此处用以描绘人，意思是“脆弱的”。答案：脆弱的

【解析】词义猜测题。make use of利用； come up with想出； look into调查； deal with处理。根据solar power is still quite expensive及Eight19, a British company by Cambridge University, has, however, invented a novel way to因为太阳能仍然很贵，所以Eight19发明了一个新的方法来解决这个问题，故选D。

42.What should the user do when the electricity in the battery is used up? A.Buy a scratch card.B.Recharge it outside.C.Buy another solar cell.D.Return it to the company.【答案】B 【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句Then, next day, it can be put outside and charged back up again.可知没有电了，你可以把它放在外面重新充电，故选A。

43.How much would users pay for the cell and scratch cards before they own a 2.5-watt solar cell? A.Around $10.B.Around $80.C.Around $90.D.Around $180.【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。根据文章1,3段After buying around $80 worth of scratch cards—which Eight19 expects would take the average family around 18 months—the user will own it.和In return for a deposit of around $10 it is supplying poor Kenyan families with a solar cell able to generate 2.5 watts of electricity可知在你拥有这些之前，你要花费90元。故选C。

44.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ____________.A.Kenyan families would find it difficult to afford the solar cell B.using the solar cell would help Kenyan families save money

202_高考英语阅读理解基础练习题（43）及答案

阅读下列短文，按要求完成读写任务

(202_年江苏卷)Usually，when your teacher asks a question，there is only one correct answer.But there is one question that has millions of correct answers.That question is “What's your name？” Everyone gives a different answer，but everyone is correct.Have you ever wondered about people's names？Where do they come from？What do they mean? People's first names，or given names，are chosen by their parents.Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used.Some parents choose the name of a well­known person.A boy could be named George Washington Smith；a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.Some people give their children names that mean good things.Clara means “bright”；Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”；Donald means “world ruler”；Leonard means “as brave as a lion”．

The earliest last names，or surnames，were taken from place names.A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪)；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long，paved road.The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.Other early surnames came from people's occupations.The most common occupational name is Smith，which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals.In the past，smiths were very important workers in every town and village.Some other occupational names are：Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart；Potter—a person who made pots and pans.The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village.The Carpenter's great­great­great­grandfather probably built houses and furniture.Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin，or their size，or their special abilities.When there were two men who were named John in the same village，the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray.Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman.John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.Some family names were made by adding something to the father's name.English­speaking people added ­s or ­son.The Johnsons are descendants of John；the Roberts family's ancestor was Robert.Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc

A Six years ago, I walked into a local animal shelter on a cold, rainy day.Although my house was already full of cats and dogs, I still couldn’t resist an occasional visit to the shelter.This time as I was walking down the row of pens full of barking dogs I noticed a small boy looking into one of them.He had a malnourished（营养不良的）looking body and a bony face with a big nose sticking out of the middle of it.He was looking at a small, golden dog.Its bony ribs were showing and its thin tail was folded between its legs.It wasn’t begging for attention like the other puppies but was hiding in the corner instead.The boy looked up at me with sad eyes and asked what was wrong with it.“It was probably abused and abandoned”, I said.“That is why it is so scared.”

The boy immediately turned to an older lady and said, “Grandma, I want this one.” The old woman smiled and walked to the front desk to fill out the adoption forms.I followed and asked about the boy.I found out that he’d had a rough start in life too.She had just gotten custody（监护权）of him after the state had taken him from his parents.She had hoped getting a dog would make it easier on him.I looked back at him, holding his scared puppy, and said a prayer for them both.It was yesterday.I was driving down the road enjoying a gloriously sunny, spring day.Then in a green front yard I saw the boy.His teenage body was tall and strong.His nose no longer seemed big but fit well into his smiling face.He was throwing

阅读中的猜词技巧(2)------定义释义法

◆ 方法点拨

释义指对陌生词的解释(解释性描述)，一般通过定义、定语从句、词组、同位语从句来体现。其表现形式为：用that is，in other words，or，mean，be called，refer to或连系动词to be等定义或重述形式来解释生词。如∶

[例题1]：Anthropology is the scientific study of man.[例题2]The_herdsman，who looks after sheep，earns about 650 yuan a year.[解析1]从解释 the scientific study of man可知anthropology的意思是 “人类学”。[解析2]定语从句中looks after sheep就表明了herdsman的词义为“牧人”。◆ 活学活用

高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案(5)

The fiddler crab(蟹)is a living clock.It indicates(=shows)the time of day by the colour of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night.The crab’s changing colour follows a regular twenty—four hour plan that exactly matches the daily rhythm(节奏)of the sun.Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply answer to the sun’s rays, changing colour according to the amount of light strikes it? To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months.Even without daylight, the crab’s skin colour continued to change exactly on time.This characteristic(特性)probably developed gradually in answer to the daily rising and setting of the sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies.After millions of years it has become completely regulated(受控制)inside the living body of the crab.The biologists noticed that once each day the colour of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the day before.From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides(潮水).The crab’s period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was cought!

1.The fiddler crab is like a clock because it changes colour ______.A in a regular 24—hour rhythm B.in answer to the sun’s rays

C.at low tide D.every fifty minutes
