Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

There aren’t many actors around the world who have enough self-confidence to turn down an offer from Steven Spielberg. Maybe that was why Juliette Binoche gave him a choice. She said she’d be happy to be in Jurassic Park as long as she could play a dinosaur. Of course he turned her down and it was probably a good thing. It’s difficult to imagine Juliette ripping people apart with her teeth. However, her decision doesn’t seem to have done her career any harm. She has gone on to make a string of hits, including The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The English Patient (for which she won an Oscar) and Chocolat.

Success in the United States has not been so easy for other foreign stars. Gerald Depardieu is a good example. Since his first film in 1967, his filmography (影片集锦) lists 172 acting credits. But he has struggled on the other side of the pond. While some of his films have been popular in the US, they have usually been French films that travelled. One possible exception was Green Card, directed by Peter Weir, where he plays a French immigrant who goes through a fake wedding in order to stay and work in the United States. This is a predictable but sweet romantic comedy which typecasts (分配同一类型角色) its lead actors in terms of national stereotypes. While some reviewers were kind, others shredded both the film and Depardieu’s performance.

While Monsieur Depardieu hasn’t received the recognition he would have liked in the United States, one Mexican actor has achieved almost instant success. Gael Garcia Bernal first gained recognition in Amores Perros in 2000 and a year later in Ytu mama tambien. Since then he has appeared with hometown hero, Brad Pitt in Babel and, under the direction of top producer and director, Jim Jarmusch, he starred in Limits of Control. He hasn’t picked up an Oscar yet, but he was nominated for a BAFTA (英国电影电视艺术学院奖) in 2005 for his performance as the South American hero revolutionary Che Guevara, in Motorcycle Diaries. In the same year he played American music icon Elvis Presley in The King.

56. It can be inferred from the passage that Juliette Binoche ______.

A. very much wanted to be in Jurassic Park

B. didn’t want to be in Jurassic Park

C. really wanted to play a dinosaur in Jurassic Park

D. was hesitant whether she could play a dinosaur well

57. According to the writer, Gerald Depardieu’s most popular films ______.

A. have been made in Hollywood

B. have only been seen in Europe

C. have been made in France, but seen in other countries, too

D have been made in Hollywood, but well received in France

58. The last sentence in Para 2 “others shredded both the film and Depardieu’s performance” means others thought Depardieu’s performance and the film were ______.

A. complex

B. interesting

C. terrible

D. impressive

59. The writer’s purpose in writing this article is to suggest that ______.

A. Foreign actors generally do well in the United States

B. American actors are able to earn more money than foreign actors

C. Foreign actors are playing an irreplaceable role in the United States

D. a successful career in Europe or Latin America doesn’t guarantee success in the USA

【答案】56.B 57.C 58.C 59.D

【分析】

56.推理判断题。由第一段“She said she’d be happy to be in Jurassic Park as long as she could play a dinosaur. ”可知，Juliette Binoche并不是很想出演Jurassic Park，答案为B。

57.细节理解题。由第二段“While some of his films have been popular in the US, they have usually been French films that travelled. ”可知，Gerald Depardieu的法国电影，在其他国家也受欢迎,，故选C。

58.词义理解题。由前文“While some reviewers were kind,”可知后句应该是贬义色彩，所以选C.。

59.主旨大意题。第二段“Success in the United States has not been so easy for other foreign stars.”和最后一段，作者列举了很多的演员，他们虽然很著名，获得了很多奖项，但是在美国并不是很受欢迎，所以可知作者的写作意图是D。

Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

Despite an advertisement campaign suggesting wall-to-wall special effects, “Bridge of Terabithia” is grounded in reality far more than in fantasy. Adapting Katherine Paterson’s award-winning novel, the screenwriters David Paterson and Jeff Stockwell have produced a thoughtful and extremely affecting story of a transformative friendship between two unusually gifted children. The result is a movie whose emotional depth could appeal more to adults than to their children.

Jess Aarons (Josh Hutcherson) is a sixth grader with four sisters, financially tensed parents and a talent for drawing. An introverted(内向的) kid who is regularly picked on by the school buses, Jess forms a bond

with a new student named Leslie (Anna Sophia Robb), a free spirit whose parents, both writers, are fondly neglectful. An attraction between outsiders, their friendship feeds on her words and his pictures; together they create an imaginary kingdom in the woods behind their homes, a world they can control and where their minds can wander free.

Beautifully capturing a time when a bully in school can occur as large as a monster in a nightmare and the encouragement of a teacher can alter the course of a life, “Bridge to Terabithia” keeps the fantasy in the background to find magic in the everyday. Gabor Csupo directs this, his first feature, like someone close to the pain of being different, fascinated in tiny, perfect details.

With strong performances from all the leads, “Bridge to Terabithia” is able to handle adult topics with sensitivity. As the emotional landscape darkens, those who haven’t read the book may be surprised at the sorrow the filmmakers cause without ever resorting to horror or terror. In other words, your children may cry, but they won’t be traumatized so badly.

Consistently smart and delicate as a spider web, “Bridge to Terabithia” is the kind of children’s movie rarely seen nowadays. At a time when many public schools are being forced to cut music and art from the curriculum, the story’s insistence on the healing power of a cultivated imagination is both welcome and essential.

56.The second paragraph indicates that Jess and Leslie ________.

A. lost their control over the imaginary kingdom

B. looked down on their individual realities

C. formed a good friendship despite their different talents

D. wrote a book about a magical land called Terabithia

57.Which of the following words is most likely to replace “traumatized” (paragraph 4)?

A. criticized

B. ignored

C. delighted

D. shocked

58.The two children most likely ________.

A. skipped school to play in the woods behind their campus

B. created an imaginary world as an escape from reality

C. disappointed their parents with their over-active imaginations

D. won against the bullies at school with strong performances

59.Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with?

A. The fantasy components of the movie were too over-done.

B. The movie is motional but not much too dramatic.

C. “Bridge to Terabithia” has a negative impact on public school education.

D. Children shouldn’t watch the film as they are too young to understand the topics.

【答案】56.C 57.D 58.D 59.B

【分析】

56.A中错在“lost control”,原文是“a world they can control”;B错在“looked down”;D中的相关描述在第

二段没有找到相关线索，所以选C。

57.前文说到“without ever resorting to horror or terror”,所以这里应该想表达的是不会被吓到，选择D。

58.根据文章第三段开头，主人公最可能的是打败学校里的欺凌，所以选择D。

59.A错在“too over-done”; C错在“negative”;D不建议孩子去因为年纪太小不能理解，但是在文章最后作者表达“welcome and essential”，所以不对。答案选择B。

Three【浦东新区】

(A)

One recent night while I was leafing through pages of an old journal, my eyes met a quote by the British writer Graham Greene that I had marked, "A prejudice had something in common with an ideal" In other words, ideas ideals------ general descriptions of people's expectations of themselves and others------can often lead us to unreasonable ideas, It got me thinking about how we often allow ourselves to generalize about groups of people. We like to stereotype people by the color of their skin, the year of their birth or any other related factors.

I grew up in a multi-racial comer of America. The different groups were often subject to narrow stereotypes: Jewish people were “greedy,” Mexicans were “poorly educated,” and Asians were “good at math.” These labels were taught to us from a young age. They wormed their way into our belief systems, harming how we came to see others. It made me sad growing up to see people repeat these stereotypes as if they were true. The rush-to-judgment of people breeds a culture of discrimination(歧视).

You can also see these over-generalized description being made against today's Chinese people. Whether it be a lack of interest or worthy among millennial(千禧一代) being described as “monkish,”or “dad-fashion(复古作风)”which has given the “greasy middle-aged men” tag, stereotypes always seem to gain a foothold in the conscientiousness of our society. But these generalizations do real harm as these myths may become part of the wider population.

It's about time that we, as a society, walked away from generalizations and stereotypes. I leave you with the words of Marin Luther King Jr. from his famous “ I have a Dream” speech: I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their shin, but by the content of their character.” By reserving judgment and really getting to mow the individual, you might just find your emotional ideas have no foundation.

56. According to the passage, how do people tend to judge others?

A. By describing people's personalities.

B. By truly getting to know those around.

C. By observing their noticeable features.

D. By fallowing Martin Luther King's speech.

57. According to the author, a culture of discrimination appears because ______.

A. people live in places of various races

B. people are born with unreasonable ideas

C. prejudices slightly influence people's belief system

D. people usually make judgments without thinking twice

58. Examples of “millennial” and “dad-fashion” are mentioned in Paragraph 3 to reveal ______.

A. generalizations have unfavorable position in society

B. generalizations have a negative influence on our society

C. generalizations are found peculiar to the middle-aged Chinese

D generalizations make today's Chinese people lack interest or worry

59. The passage is mainly concerned with ______.

A. the common prejudice

B. people's expectation of themselves

C. the groundless worries

D. the famous speech of Martin Luther King

【答案】56.C 57.D 58.B 59.A

【分析】

56.从文中general descriptions of people's expectations of themselves and others------can often lead us to unreasonable ideas, It got me thinking about how we often allow ourselves to generalize about groups of people可知选C。

57.前文说到“We like to stereotype people by the color of their skin, the year of their birth or any other related factors.But these generalizations do real harm as these myths may become part of the wider population.”,所以选择D。

58.根据文章第三段，which has given the “greasy middle-aged men” tag, stereotypes always seem to gain

a foothold in the conscientiousness of our society. But these generalizations do real harm as these myths may become part of the wider population.，所以选择B。

Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

What to endure before publication?

It takes a lot to write a novel. Even those who haven’t tried would say, “Well, duh!” to this. But it’s not much the mind space or the considerable time it takes to write a novel that is as discouraging as how many times any writer must go back to the drawing board for yet another draft. To really ready a novel for publication, a writer must spend time with his or her book. Like any promising relationship, you, the writer , must date your novel, take it out to dinner, meet its parents, and see it through its most trying and desperate times. As a writer, you have to stay up all night with your novel crying and talking and sometimes even

pulling your hair out before that perfect moment of inspiration can truly help you cross the finish line.

For many published authors I know, myself included, a completed novel takes them about 10, that’s right, 10 drafts, and at least a year of real editing. Will you be spending every single second editing your novel? No, of course not. Just as drafts need some real time on the surgery table, they also need rest in the recovery room. You don’t nurse a relationship by spending every waking second with them until you can’t stand the sight of each other, and you can’t produce a novel by breathing down its literary neck. However, a novel should undergo many drafts---and different kinds of drafts—before declaring it ready for an agent or editor to see.

Everyone has their own way to write a novel, and not all craft advice (or even craft “rules”) should all be followed by everyone, but when it comes to the many drafts of a novel, there are specific things a writer should focus on during each revision to help create a smooth transition from the initial idea to final products.

56. People are discouraged from writing a novel mainly because it requires _____.

A. a good publisher

B. too much thinking

C. tons of working time

D. frequent revisions

57. What do writers do in the course of creating a novel?

A. They spend every minute with the novel.

B. They treat the novel as a lover.

C. They go out with some readers for dinner.

D. They hurt themselves to stay awake.

58. By “breathing down its literary neck” in Paragraph 2, the author most probably means _____.

A. writing casually thus failing to take readers’ breath away

B. letting go a single mistake thus annoying the readers

C. X-raying the work thus finding each literary mistake

D. sticking too close to the work thus causing anxiety

59. Which of the following is most likely to come after the last paragraph?

A. The importance of using proper transitional words in writing.

B. The writing experience shared by famous successful write.

C. Tips on how to make ten drafts to complete a good novel.

D. Setbacks writers may suffer if ignoring the craft advice.

【答案】56.D 57.B 58.D 59.C

56.从文中But it’s not much the mind space or the considerable time it takes to write a novel that is as discouraging as how many times any writer must go back to the drawing board for yet another draft. To really ready a novel for publication, a writer must spend time with his or her book. 可知选D。

57.前文说到“Like any promising relationship, you, the writer , must date your novel, take it out to dinner, meet its parents, and see it through its most trying and desperate times.”,所以选择B。

58.根据文章第二段，Like any promising relationship, you, the writer , must date your novel, take it out to dinner, meet its parents, and see it through its most trying and desperate times.，所以选择D。

Five【徐汇区】

Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

A

The lives of the Ancient Greeks revolved（运转）around Eris, a concept by which they defined the universe. They believed that the world existed in a condition of opposites. If there was good, then there was evil；if there was love, then there was hatred; joy, then sorrow; war, then peace; and so on. The Greeks believed that good Eris occurred when one held a balanced outlook on life and coped with problems as they arose. It was a kind of ease of living that came from trying to bring together the great opposing forces in nature. Bad Eris was evident in the violent conditions that ruled men’s lives. Although these things were found in nature and sometimes could not be controlled, it was believed that bad Eris occurred when one ignored a problem, letting it grow larger until it destroyed not only that person, but his family as well. The Ancient Greeks saw Eris as a goddess: Eris, the Goddess of Discord, better known as Trouble.

One myth that expresses this concept of bad Eris deals with the marriage of King Peleus and the river goddess Thetis. Zeus, the supreme ruler, learns that Thetis would bear a child strong enough to destroy its father. Not wanting to father his own ruin, Zeus convinces Thetis to marry a human, a mortal（凡人）whose child could never challenge the gods. He promises her, among other things, the greatest wedding in all of Heaven and Earth and allows the couple to invite whomever they please. This is one of the first mixed marriages of Greek Mythology and the lesson learned from it still applies today. They do invite everyone . . . except Eris, the Goddess of Discord. In other words, instead of facing the problems brought on by a mixed marriage, they turn their backs on them. They refused to deal directly with their problems and the result is tragic. In her fury（狂怒）, Eris arrives, ruins the wedding, causes a jealous argument between the three major goddesses over a golden apple, and sets in place the conditions that lead to the Trojan War. The war would take place 20 years in the future, but it would result in the death of the only child of the bride and groom, Achilles. Eris would destroy the parents’ hopes for their future, leaving the couple with no legal heirs (继承人) to the throne.

Hence, when we are told, “If you don’t invite trouble, trouble comes,” it means that if we don’t deal with our problems, our problems will deal with us . . . with a revenge! It is easy to see why the Greeks considered many of their myths learning myths, for this one teaches us the best way to defeat that which can destroy us.

56.Bad Eris is defined in the passage as _______

A. the violent conditions of life.

B. the problems man encounters.

C. the evil goddess who has a golden apple.

D. the murderer of generations.

57.Zeus married Thetis off because _______

A. he needed to buy the loyalty of a great king of mankind.

B. he feared the gods would create bad Eris by competing over her.

C. he feared the Trojan War would be fought over her.

D. he feared being a father of a boy who would kill him in the future.

58.Zeus did not fear a child of King Peleus because _______

A. he knew that the child could not climb Mt. Olympus and manage to kill a god.

B. he knew that the child would be killed in the Trojan War which would happen in 20 years.

C. he knew that no matter how strong a mortal child was, he couldn’t overthrow an immortal god.

D. he knew that Thetis would always love him above everyone else.

59.What does the myth in the passage want to tell us?

A. Do not consider a mixed marriage.

B. Do not anger the gods.

C. Do not ignore the problems that arise in life.

D. Do not take myths seriously.

【答案】ADCC

【解析】

56.Bad Eris在文中定义为什么，此题为细节题，第一段中Bad Eris was evident in the violent conditions that ruled men’s lives故选A

57. 细节题，文章第二段Thetis. Zeus, the supreme ruler, learns that Thetis would bear a child strong enough to destroy its father. Not wanting to father his own ruin,宙斯不想要成为这样的孩子的父亲二sins 后毁了自己。D

58. 细节题，文章第二段Zeus convinces Thetis to marry a human, a mortal（凡人）whose child could never challenge the gods.顾选C

59.总结推断题，最后一段“If you don’t invite trouble, trouble comes,” it means that if we don’t deal with our problems, our problems will deal with us，出现问题不及时解决，最后我们会被问题找上门来，所以我们面对问题时不能逃避，顾选C

Six【闵行】

Section B

Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best

according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

Once again DC Comics and Warner Bros. have divided fans and

critics over their latest superhero film.

There had been worrying news about Justice League in the months

before its release, with a lot of reshoots of scenes, a new director being

brought in to finish the film after original director Zack Snyder’s tragic loss of his daughter and, of course, a lot of talk about Ben Affleck’s future in the role of Batman.

Some people are saying that Justice League is another big disappointment, that it could have been incredible and instead fails to really entertain. Others say that Warner Bros. have finally got it right and that the future for the League looks bright.

My opinion lies somewhere in the middle. The film was by no means a disappointment: it was exciting, funny and a lot of fun to watch. There’s something special about watching the heroes from your childhood brought to life on the big screen and maybe that is affecting my opinion.

However, I will say that a lot of work needs to be done if the producer wants to make a great success. Although the film was good, it was obvious which scenes had been reshot and how the characters had been changed. I also have to mention the several scenes in which the special effects were very badly done; these are the kinds of problems that you don’t expect to see in a film with such a big budget.

Another point to add is that it is good to see the producer making Superman slightly a brighter character and adding some jokes to the plot to keep things fun. But the producer must be careful not to make the mistake that another film producer—here, not mentioning the name—is coming very close to doing: turning all of the films into bright and colorful shows and losing a lot of seriously good stories.

In the end,Justice League is not a perfect film but it is definitely not a terrible one. A lot of work is still to be done but I hope that DC does not completely lose its darker side.

56.Before the release of Justice League, many people showed their ______.

A. pity for the director, Zack Snyder

B. concern about the film’s quality

C. higher expectation of the new director

D. support for the actor, Ben Affleck

57.According to the author, what’s special about Justice League?

A. It advocates social justice.

B. It brings lots of fun to the audience.

C. It has some brave heroes.

D. It brings back childhood memories.

58.In Paragraph 5 the author mainly wants to express his ______.

A. views on the film’s weakness

B. advice to the film’s director

C. love for the film

D. expectation of the film’s sequels

59.The author mentioned another film producer to ______.

A. stress the importance of fun in a film

B. show Justice League’s lack of a serious plot

C. serve as a warning to the producer of Justice League

D. set an example for the producer of Justice League

【答案】56-59 BDAC

【解析】

文中的第二段一开始就有“There had been worrying news about Justice League in the months before its release”所以应该选B.

文中第四段的第二句“There’s something special about watching the heroes from your childhood brought to life on the big screen and maybe that is affecting my opinion.”，可知答案应该选D.

文中第四段描写的是作者对于这部电影肯定的部分，在第五段一开始就有However,可见，作者在此时表示转折，读完可知作者在这一段里关注的是此部电影的不足之处，所以应该选A.

在文章中倒数第二段中，作者提到另外一部电影是为了提醒the producer must be careful not to make the mistake that another film producer，所以应该选C.

Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

I’m a student in my fourth year of a biomedical science degree at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, but I also work 38 hours a week at Sainsbury’s to make ends meet. I do three night shins a week, plus overtime if I can get it. Monday is the most occupied day for me--I work from 10 pm until 8 am on Saturday and Sunday nights, earning just over ＄100 a night, and then I have to be at my first lecture at 9 am on Monday. By the time I finish lectures, at 2 pm, I’m exhausted, but I know I have to be back at work by 10 pm.

I constantly have to force myself to stay awake, and to be alert whatever it takes. a packet of Skittles and a Red Bull usually helps. The work I do at Sainsbury's is very physical like stacking shelves. I'm lucky because I'm an active person and the amount I lift at work is nothing compared with the weights I lint in the gym. I know I have the strength to bear it.

I’m originally from Nigeria. I came here when I was seven, growing up in Croydon, south London. Money was tight. My parents gave me everything I needed, but there was no money to spend on luxuries. I worked hard at school though and, with the help of GT Scholars, i got some of the best A-level grades in my class.

Unfortunately, though I had applied for "settled" British residential status when very young, the Home Office waited until I was in sixth form to approve my application. That meant I wasn’t eligible for a student loan. The only way I could afford to go to university was that if i got a job that would pay for all my living costs and my parents, who work in market research, paid for my tuition fees. In Scotland, that's about

＄7,000 a year.

I don' t have much time to socialize because of my job. Ideally, I would also like to have more time to study so I can excel at my course. Yes, i have a lot on my plate, but working hard isn't new to me. Growing up, my parents and my mentors in the church and at GT Scholars cultivated in me the importance of working hard for what I want in life.

My dream is to do an MA in physiotherapy next year and then get a job working for the NHS. But right now, I' m just focused on trying to get the best grades I can. Whenever I find life hard, tell myself this is about my future. I don't need much, but I would like to worry less about money and have more free time. That is what I look forward to the most.

56. Why does the author work long hours and sometimes overtime every week?

A. To help his parents pay off the debts

B. To pay for his tuition fees.

C. To prove his ability to earn money.

D. To pay for his own living expenses

The underlined word "eligible" in the passage can be replaced by .

A. responsible

B. qualified.

C. feasible

D. anxious

58. According to the passage, which of the following words can NOT be used to describe the author?

A. Sociable

B. Diligent.

C. Ambitious

D. Persistent.

59. Which of the following proverbs can best summarize the passage?

A. A penny saved is a penny earned.

B. Actions speak louder than words.

C. God helps those who help themselves.

D. Where there is life, there is hope.

【答案】56.D 57.B 58.A 59.C

【分析】

56. 选D。这一题属于细节题，读懂题干，答案定位在第一段第二行以及第四段第三行和第四行，A选项属于无中生有，文中没有提到；B选项属于偷换概念，给作者付学费的人是她的父母，第四段第四行提到了这一点；C选项也属于无中生有，文章只字未提；D选项符合。

57. 选B。这一题属于推断题，把被推断词所在的这一段认真看完。该词位于第四段，从开篇的unfortunately,可以知道这一段的感情色彩是贬义的，再通读这一段可以知道是没有资格贷款，所以作者在学校需要自力更生

58. 选A。这一题属于信息概括题，可以用排除法来做，A选项从文章的倒数第二段句首可以看出是不对的。B选项是“勤奋的”意思，从第一段作者每周工作很长时间可以看出作者的勤奋；C选项是“有志向的”，从最后一段第一句话可以看出来；D选项是“坚持不懈的”，通读全文不难发现作者的持之以恒。

59. 选C。这一题属于选标题，可以采用反推法来做。A选项的意思是“省一分钱等于赚一分钱”，

大概意思是财富是节约而来的，与文章大意不符；B选项的意思是“事实胜于雄辩”，与文章大意也不符；C选项的意思是“天助自助者”用于个人励志话题，与文章大意是相符的；D选项的意思是“留得青山在不怕没柴烧”。学生会在CD中纠结，D选项更侧重于讲先失败后再东山再起的事例。

Eight【崇明县】

Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

（A）

Flu is killing us. The usual response to the annual flu is not enough to fight against the risks we currently face, let alone prepare us for an even deadlier widespread flu that most experts agree will come in the future. Yes, we have an annual vaccine (疫苗), and everyone qualified should get it without question. The reality, however, is that less than half Americans get the flu vaccines. And the flu vaccines we have are only 60% effective in the best years and 10% effective in the worst years. We urgently need a much more effective flu vaccine.

In the U.S. alone, seasonal flu can cause up to 36 million infections, three-quarters of a million hospitalizations and 56,000 deaths. We are not investing the resources needed to protect ourselves, our loved ones and our communities.

Why not? We haven’t been hit by a truly destructive widespread disease in a long time. So as individuals, we let down our guard as our leaders quietly defund and destaff the services we need to protect us.

The risk of continued foot dragging is huge. In a severe widespread disease, the U.S. health care system could be defeated in just weeks. Millions of people would be infected by the virus, and would die in the weeks and months following the initial outbreak.

The cost of preventing epidemics (流行病) is roughly a tenth of what it costs to cope with them when they hit. In 2012, a call was issued for an annual billion-dollar U.S. commitment to the development of a universal flu vaccine. Six years later, the search for a universal vaccine remains seriously underfunded.

The simple reason lies in our collective satisfaction. As soon as headlines about the flu are gone, hospitals are emptied of flu patients, and school and workplace absence rates decline, we go back to business as usual.

Leading scientists and public health officials have the capability to keep us much safer from flu. They need your quick and decisive support to succeed. Your action today may be a matter of life and death for you and your loved ones.

56. The problem of the current flu vaccines is that _____.

A. they are not available every year.

B. most Americans are not allowed to get them.

C. not everyone is qualified for them.

D. many people still catch flu after getting them.

57. What does the author mean by “continued foot dragging” in Paragraph 4?

A. Hospitals cannot meet the needs of patients during flu outbreaks.

B. The leaders continue to drag the feet of the patients infected with flu.

C. Individuals aren’t alert enough to the underi nvestment in flu prevention.

D. Flu will certainly become a severe widespread disease in the near future.

58. What can be inferred from the passage?

【解析】

56.考查细节理解题。根据文章第一段The reality, however, is that less than half Americans get the flu vaccines. And the flu vaccines we have are only 60% effective in the best years and 10% effective in the worst years. We urgently need a much more effective flu vaccine.可知在接种过疫苗后仍然会得流感，故选D.

57.考查词义猜测。根据文章第三段So as individuals, we let down our guard as our leaders quietly defund and destaff the services we need to protect us.个人在放下防卫，因为领导在安静得撤出资金，表示个人对流感防卫的投资不足的警惕是不够的，故选C.

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

Last summer, bird-watchers confirmed the discovery of a new species of bird in Cambodia. It was not an event of particular biological significance, but it was striking for one reason in particular. This species of bird was discovered not in an unspoiled rain forest but within the limits of Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh --a city the size of Philadelphia.

What the researchers found was surprising in cities. The medium-sized city in the study has about 110 species of birds, over 95 percent of which would have been growing there before urbanization. Ecologically speaking, cities are different, concrete buildings. Rather, each has a unique bio-profile -a kind of ecological fingerprint- that is against the idea of an environmental dead zone.

Of course, it's also true that in the world of birds and plants, as in human society, there is such a thing as worldwide-- the city-inhabitants who feel equally at home in San Francisco. Milan and Beijing. Four birds occur in more than 80 percent of the cities studied, and 11 plants occurred in more than 90 percent of the cities. On the plant side, those are seemingly spread by European settlement. In the air, it's the usual suspects: the rock pigeon and many other birds. “They have become completely adapted to urban life,” Katti says. “That's not much of a surprise. But they don't actually dominate as much as we think they do.” Those species--- occurring in the cities across the globe-represent only a small part of a city's natural varieties.

Not all cities are equal protectors of native animals and plants, though. One of the biggest predictors for a city's biodiversity is its urban design. Territory as varied as backyards and street trees can play important roles in greening a city. In fact, the amount of green space is a stronger predictor of the density of biodiversity than a city's size. A metropolis with a sizable network of parks can contain more species per square mile than a much smaller city.

In a world where architecture, food, language, fashion and commerce are increasingly globalized, a city's native animals and plants can be a kind of identity. There may be neighborhoods in London and Paris that resemble Singapore or Hong Kong. Cities are becoming similar, but their natural environments stand completely apart

56. According to the passage, what do you think of Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital?

A. It is full of various rare plants and animals

B Its birds population is larger than that of San F

C. It's as big as Philadelphia in terms of area

D. It is on an equal footing with Beijing and Milan

57. Which of the following statements is NOT the same as the author's idea?

A From a biological point new changes happen every day

B. From an environmental point the daily changes aren't obvious enough

C. Each city has different characteristics in terms of ecological development

D. Different species of creatures are born in different cities

58. Some plants are found in many cities in the world, which seems to be a result of

A. natural selection

B. globalization

C. urban development

D. Colonization

59. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A. What Surprising Cities! The Medium-sized City Has Various Species of Birds

B. The Power of Plants and Animals! The Charm of All the Cities

C. The Cities Are Concrete Jungles ! Never Think about Them the Same Way Again!

D. More Species Per Square Mile! The Amount of Green Space Is a Stronger Predictor

【答案】56. C 57. B 58. D 59. C

【分析】

56.第一段的最后一句话“Phnom Penh --a city the size of Ph iladelphia”，看出柬埔寨金边和费城两个地方面积差多不，故答案选C。

57.文章第三段提及“They have become completely adapted to urban life,”可以看出the rock pigeon and many other birds完全适应了城市的生活，说明城市生物变化是明显的，可以直接排除选项B。58.文章第三段“On the plant side, those are seemingly spread by European settlement”中的European settlement(欧洲殖民地)可以看出，一些植物遍布世界各个城市，是由于欧洲殖民者到世界各地殖民统治定居带来的，故选D.

59.文章第一段的第三句“cities are different, concrete buildings”（城市是不同的、混凝土建筑物）和最后一段的最后一句"Cities are becoming similar, but their natural environments stand completely apart"(城市正在变得非常相似，但它们的自然环境却完全不同)，都符合

Ten【嘉定区】

(A)

One day a little boy, annoyed by his father's decision for him to become a grocer, decides that he will never grow up. Grocery is a dull job and staying a child is his protest against it. This strange little boy-man, never separated from a tin drum he is always banging, is our hero of the table. It covers three crucial decades of 20th century history. Little Oscar Matzerath will experience love, war and imprisonment in a story that paints an unforgettable picture of Central Europe between 1923 and 1954.

This is an overview of the story of The Tin Drum, the most famous work by the German Nobel-winning author Günter Grass, who passed away on April 13 at the age of 87. The Tin Drum also established Grass as one of the leading authors of Germany. It also set a high bar of comparison for all of his following works. Just as his best-known fiction is both the story of an individual and of an age, so it is that Grass' life cannot

be understood without referring to the history of Germany. He was called "Germany's conscience", because he reminded Germans of a past during the Second World War (1933-1945) that many would have rather forgotten.

This sometimes made him unpopular. Many Germans did not agree in 1989 when he said that East Germany and West Germany should remain separate, as a united country would be too strong and threaten the world's peace. And Grass was called a hypocrite when he revealed in his memoir

Peeling the Onion (2006) that he had been a teenage member of the Waffen-SS, the Nazi (纳粹)

Party's fighting force. The man who had blamed the actions of others had a less-than-perfect record himself.

Grass was a man of the pen and the page and also a man with a gift for speaking to the public.

His writing was noisy and annoying, but one had to listen to it, a little like the sound of the drum banged by his most famous literary creation.

56. In The Tin Drum, the hero ________.

A. decides he will never grow up to escape from the war

B. doesn't want to become a grocer as his father expects

C. refuses to be separated from the tin drum he is playing

D. has an unforgettable experience involving love and hatred

57. What does the underlined word "hypocrite" mean?

A. Someone who has justice on his side and pursues perfection.

B. Someone who enjoys blaming others for their own mistakes.

C. Someone who is unwilling to believe there is good in people.

D. Someone who pretends to be more virtuous than one really is.

58. It can be inferred from the article that ________.

A. Oscar Matzerath's stories were modeled on Grass's own childhood life

B. critics applauded Grass's argument for continued separation of Germany

C. Grass's life and works can be best understood from a historical perspective

D. no other writer in Germany could be Grass's equal in perfect personal record

59. What is the author's purpose in writing the article?

A. To analyze what has made The Tin Drum so popular in Germany.

B. To introduce the readers to Günter Grass and his most famous work.

C. To present the history of Germany through the pen and page of Grass.

D. To give some background information about Grass's early life as a writer.

【答案】56.B 57.D 58.C59.B

【分析】

56.首段的第一句话One day a little boy, annoyed by his father's decision for him to become a grocer, decides that he will never grow up.其余选项均可排除

57.根据这个单词后的when he revealed in his memoir Peeling the Onion (2006) that he had been a teenage member of the Waffen-SS, the Nazi (纳粹)Party's fighting force. The man who had blamed the actions of others had a less-than-perfect record himself.可以得出，意思为伪善者，伪君子

58.根据第二段Just as his best-known fiction is both the story of an individual and of an age, so it is that Grass' life cannot be understood without referring to the history of Germany.

Directions:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

（A）

Charity Cycling UK recently launched a campaign to raise awareness of

dooring after discovering that many people don’t know what it is. Dooring is when

a driver or passenger opens the door into another road user—typically cyclist—

without looking for other road users.

Cycling UK chief executive Paul Tuohy told Gloucestershire Live: “Some

people seem to see car dooring as a bit of a joke, but it’s not and can have serious

consequences. Cycling UK wants to see great awareness made about the dangers of opening your car door carelessly, and people to be encouraged to look before they open.”

The charity says 2,009 of the 3,000 injuries were sustained by cyclists, resulting in five fatalities but says this might not be the full extent of the danger.

Cycling UK says not all car dooring incidents will be attended by police, so the charity has written to transport minister Jesse Norman calling for a public awareness campaign urging all car occupants, not just drivers, to look before opening vehicle doors. One of the ways the charity suggests is the “Dutch reach”, where people leaving a vehicle reach over and use the non-door side hand to open the door.

Cycling UK also suggests harsher laws and advice on safer road positioning for people who cycle.

Mr. Tuohy said: “In the Netherlands they are known for practicing a method, known sometimes as the ‘Dutch reach’, which we think could be successfully encouraged in the UK.”

“Cycling UK has written to the Department for Transport asking them to look into this, and highlight the dangers of ‘car dooring’ through a public awareness THINK style campaign.”

If you’re really concerned about opening a door into the path of a cyclist coming behind you, consider using what’s known as the “Dutch reach” to open the door. That will naturally turn you in your seat and give you a much better view of what’s coming up alongside in the car.

56. Why does the author mention the figures in Paragraph 3?

A. To cause public concern.

B. To report the terrible accidents.

C. To show the danger of car dooring.

D. To stress the importance of traffic safety.

57. While doing the “Dutch reach”, you should ________________________.

A. sit still in your seat

B. open the car door politely

C. use the inside hand to open the door

D. use the left hand to open the car door

58. What can be learned from the text?

A. Many people are ignorant of car dooring.

B. The “Dutch reach” is well received in England.

C. Dooring incidents are all attended by police.

D. Drivers are to blame for dooring incidents.

59. What’s the author’s attitude towards car dooring?

A. Negative.

B. Ridiculous.

C. Neutral.

D. Concerned

【答案】56. C 57.C 58.A 59.D

【分析】

56.文中第三段中“The charity says 2,009 of the 3,000 injuries were sustained by cyclists, resulting in five fatalities but says this might not be the full extent of the danger.”该慈善机构表示，3000人受伤中有2009人是骑自行车的人，导致5人死亡，但这可能还不是全部的危险程度。可知选C

57.文中第四段中提到“One of the ways the charity suggests is the “Dutch reach”, where people leaving a vehicle reach over and use the non-door side hand to open the door.”，所以选C

58.由文中第一段提到“Charity Cycling UK recently launched a campaign to raise awareness of dooring after discovering that many people don’t know what it is.”以及“Cycling UK has written to the Departmen t for Transport asking them to look into this, and highlight the dangers of ‘car dooring’ through a public awareness THINK style campaign.”可知选A

59.从文中我们可以很明显的发现作者对于这一现象很是担忧，可知选D

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A , B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

"Don't tell anyone". We hear these words when someone tells a secret to us. But it can be hard to keep

a secret. We're often tempted to “spill the beans”, even if we regret it later

According to Asim Shah, professor in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine, US, keeping a secret may well “become a burden". This is because people often have an "obsessive (无法摆脱的) and anxious urge to share it with someone".

An earlier study, led by Anita E. Kelly, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. People entrusted with secrets can suffer from depression, anxiety, and body aches, reported the Daily Mail.

But with secrets so often getting out, why do people share them at all? Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend. Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust can develop when people who are close do not share it with each other. "Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either gaining or losing the trust of someone." according to Shah.

He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out. But this doesn't mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside. To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret.

Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, you'd better put yourself in their position. Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustn't give the information away. Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someone's secret you should come clean about it. Let the person know that their secret isn't so secret anymore.

56. The underlined phrase "spill the bean" is closest in meaning to ________.

A. let out a secret

B. tell the truth

C. eat our words

D. take gossip

57. A person who is entrusted with a secret ________.

A. is oft often obsessed with a certain threat

B. often would rather not have been told about it

C. usually has a strong desire to keep it until death

D. may suffer from physical or psychological problems

58. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Quiet people are more likely to keep the secrets to themselves.

B. Sharing secrets helps establish friendship or get over the sense of guilt.

C. It's better to inform others of the chances of your leaking secrets beforehand.

D. Putting yourself in others' shoes helps realize the difficulty of keeping secrets.

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

A. Walls have ears.

B. Still tongues make wise heads.

C. A word spoken is past recalling.

D. Every wall has a crack.

【答案】：56-59 A D D D

【分析】：

56.回到第一段，由“But it can be hard to keep a secret”可知，这里指泄密，只有A正确。

57.由关键词entrusted with定位到第3段第2句“People entrusted with secrets can suffer from depression, anxiety, and body aches, reported the Daily Mail.”，只有D才是同义概括。

58.推理判断题，此题为易错题，A答案和文章说的泄密相背，由第四段“people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend. Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them.”可知，是为了维护友谊而不是“establish”建立友谊，同时，后半段表达

也是错的，原文意为人们出于这种内疚感而去告诉朋友，而不是为了“get over”克服内疚而告诉朋友。C不是事先而是事后告知，D选项从最后一段“Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, you'd better put yourself in their position. Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustn't give the information away. ”可以得知，换位思考就知道保守秘密有多难了。

59.A隔墙有耳，混淆概念，本文不是指偷听。B选项寡言者智，wise head没有在文章体现，C项一言既出,驷马难追，也不符合文意，D没有不透风的墙，和文章主题保守不住秘密相一致。

Jack London, one of America’s major writers of adventure tales, was born in California in 1876. During his life, London worked at many jobs. His broad life experiences would become the background for his writing.

London loved to read. As a teenager, he spent many hours educating himself at the Oakland, California, public library. He attended college at the University of California at Berkeley, but he stayed for only six months. He thought Berkeley was “not lively enough” and wanted to do something more exciting.

London wrote stories about working people and the hard times they had making a living. He knew their problems first hand. He worked as a sailor, farmer, factory employee, railroad worker, and gold prospector, to name just a few of his many jobs.

London grew up near the waterfront in Oakland. He loved the water. When he was fifteen years old, he bought a small sailboat called a sloop. Later he sailed to Japan on a schooner, which is a much larger sailing boat. Like many people of the time, London caught the Klondike Gold Rush Fever. In 1897, he headed for Alaska. He didn’t find gold, but he discovered something even more valuable. He discovered that people enjoyed listening to the stories he made up with his vivid imagination. London entertained the miners with story after story. Later, using his experiences during the Gold Rush, he created many more colorful stories.

London resolved to live a full, exciting life. He once said, “I would rather be a superb meteor(流星),

一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Gemini Man Gemini Man is a big-budget Hollywood sci-fi-action movie based on an original concept, rather than on a superhero comic or an old TV series, even though this particular original concept is more 20 years old. In it a government assassin (杀手)is being hunted down by his own clone The original script was sold by Darren Lemke to a studio in 1997, and since then almost every male A-listener has been attached as a potential star. Now, at long last, Ang Lee has directed Gemini Man, and Will Smith plays both the veteran assassin and his much younger doppelganger (分身). Jojo Rabbit During World War Two, a 10-year-old German boy (Roman Griffin David) is desperate to be a dutiful Nazi, only to discover that his mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding, a Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their house.

As well as writing and directing Jojo Rabbit, Waititi co-stars as the boy's imaginary friend,a nitwitted Adolf Hitler. Doctor Sleep Mike Flanag's new film is adapted from Stephen King, novel, Doctor Sleep, which was a sequel (续集) to The Shining. You can expect to see blood flowing out of lifts in a rapid stream, ghostly twin girls and headache-including carpet patterns.

(A ) A coal-fire stove(炉灶)provided heating for Zhao Yaoqin's courtyard bungalow in a Beijing hutong all her life. This winter, however, the stove has disappeared from the 66-year-old's life, and an electric radiator takes its place beside her bed, a product of a government to use clean energy in the national capital. With the Olympics to be staged in Beijing next August, the city is determined to eliminate the use of coal within the Third Ring Road that circles the city before the Games. The project to replace the stoves with electric radiators has been part of the effort. When the city's four-month long heating season started on Thursday, coal-fired stoves, known as a big source of pollution in the big city, have disappeared from some 20,000 local households like Zhao's bungalow in the inner city "hutong" -- traditional alleyways(小巷) that date back centuries. "We used to boil water or bake bread on the stove," said Zhao, sounding sentimental(伤感) to the disappearance of the coal furnace from her life. Late in the 1990s, Beijing's air quality monitoring office found that the emissions(排放) of sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide from the hutong areas have been higher than the city's average in winter, mainly because of the coal stoves. With the project to switch to clean energy for heating launched in 1999, the emission level of the two poisonous substances decreased by 42 percent and 44 percent, respectively, this year from 2001 levels. Zhao said the fee for electrical heat for the entire winter was usually around 2,400 yuan (US$323) per household. With the government's subsidy（补贴）, however, she only needed to pay about 500 yuan, nearly the same price as that for coal. 1．Zhao Yaoqin’ example in the passage is to tell us that_______. A.people in Beijing using electric radiators to welcome the Olympics. B.people in Beijing are doing something to protect the environment. C.hutongs in Beijing have a long history. D.People pay more money to use electric radiators than before. 2. The underlined word eliminate probably means________ A. cut down. B. increase. C. get rid of. D. replace 3. We can infer from the passage that ______ A. Zhao Yaoqin has a strong and deep emotion with the use of coal-fire stove. B. The government will pay most of the fee. C. The air of Beijing has been badly polluted since 1990s. D. The people do not use coal eight months in one year. 4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. The clean air is important when the Olympics Games is held in Beijing. B. The success of the Olympics Games depends on the clean air. C. The government spare no effort to make the environment better. D. The emission level of poisonous substances will be low in 2008.

Or perhaps you wondered what would happen next in your favorite TV show or film series. If you have, you’ve experienced the Zeigarnik effect. You tend to remember unfinished tasks better than finished tasks. Knowledge of the Zeigarnik effect can be put into use in everyday life. The effect is especially well suited for helping overcome procrastination or delaying an action to a later time. We often put off big tasks that seem overwhelming. However, the Zeigarnik effect suggests that the key to overcoming procrastination is to just get started. The first step could be something small and seemingly insignificant. In fact, it’s probably best if it’s something fairly easy. The Zeigarnik effect can be useful for students who are studying for an exam. The effect tells us that breaking up study periods can actually improve recall. So instead of cramming for an exam all in one sitting, breaks should be scheduled in which the student focuses on something else. This will cause intrusive(侵入的) thoughts, enabling students to rehearse and consolidate the information that must be remembered, leading to better recall when they take the exam. The Zeigarnik effect also points to reasons why people may experience mental health problems. If an individual leaves important tasks incomplete, the intrusive thoughts that result can lead to stress, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, and emotional distress. Conversely, completing a task can give an individual a sense of accomplishment and lead to a feeling of closure that can improve psychological well-being. The Zeigarnik effect can actually be used to positively impact your work productivity. 【答案】 The Zeiguvnik Effect is that you always remember unfinished matter, which can be well used. The effect helps you overcome procrastination and have a good start. The effect is effective for students to improve recall and remember things better. It also encourage people to finish work and improve psychological well-being. It can influence us positively in all aspect. 【解析】 要点中需要包括：1.The Zeigarnik Effect的定义2.三个好处 容易出现的问题：主旨句不清晰；语言不够精炼。

【2018宝山区—一模】 IV. Summary Writing Secure payment without leaving a trace Computer scientist Andy Rupp, member of the “Signaling Code and Security” working group, is always surprised about lacking problem awareness: only few users are aware of the fact that by using payment systems they disclose in detail how and what they consume or which routes they have taken. To prevent control of the accounts by dishonest users, customer data and account balances of payment are usually carried out with the help of a central database. In every payment deal, the customer is identified and the details of her/his deal are transmitted to the central database. This repeated identification process produces a data trace that might be misused by the provider or third parties. The expert has now presented the basics of an “electronic purse” that works by unknown names, but prevents misuse at the same time. The “black-box addition plus” (BBA+) code system developed by them transfers all necessary account data to the card used or the smartphone and guarantees their secrets with the help of signaling code methods. At the same time, BBA+ offers security guarantees for the operator of the payment system: The code system guarantees a correct account balance and is mathematically constructed such that the identity of the user is disclosed as soon as the attempt is made to pay with a controlled account. “Our new code system guarantees privacy and security for customers during offline operation as well,” Andy Rupp says. “This is needed for ensuring the payment system’s suitability for daily use. Think of a subway doorway or a payment bridge. There you may have no internet connection at all or it is very slow.” Also its high efficiency makes the code system suited for everyday use: During first test runs, researchers completed payments within about one second. ①when customers use payment systems, most of them don’t realize the fact that by doing so, they risk( take the risk of ) losing privacy. ②Researchers have now developed a secure system called BBA+, which works anonymously and avoids misuses as well. ③moreover ( apart from / besides the security of privacy), it also proves to be efficient for daily use.(47 words) 【2018—崇明区一模】 IV.

高考英语阅读理解真题汇编(含答案) 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Mexico sites on an island plateau (高原) surrounded by volcanic peaks, which makes air quality a constant concern for people who live there. In April, the country took a decisive step toward improving air quality by enacting a temporary ban on private and Federal vehicles in the city. The rule forbids people from driving in the city one day each week and one Saturday each month. Electric vehicles, government service vehicles, public transport options and school buses are not included in the ban. Mexico City isn't the first urban center to be involved in car-free living. But the ban is more than an awareness-raiser. It was enacted with the direct aim of solving air pollution. In March, the city sank into a deep brown haze of smog when the pollution levels passed the 200 mark. The city ordered some 1.1m of the area's 4.7m cars off the streets and also offered free bus and subway rides. Mexico City's temporary vehicle ban raises questions about the best ways to improve urban air quality. India, whose citizens breathe some of the world's dirtiest air, has tried a variety of solutions. Earlier this year, the Indian government started a 4% sales tax on new-car purchases. Beijing also has experience with cleaning the air. The city introduced alternate-day rules in advance of the 2008 Olympic Games, which produced good results. And then there is the London congestion (拥挤) charge, introduced in 2003. The charge has had a measurable effect on air quality. For now, Mexico City — named by the United Nations as the most polluted city on the planet in 1992 — can look forward to the start of the region's rainy season, when daily showers will help lo clean the air. （1）How did Mexico ban vehicles in the city? A. By banning private and Federal vehicles one day a week. B. By forbidding private and public vehicles every Saturday. C. By limiting the number of new cars. D. By prohibiting the vehicles except public ones.（2）What did the government of Mexico do when carrying out the ban on vehicles? A. Raised the number of public vehicles. B. Offered free bus and subway rides. C. Introduced more travel options. D. Encouraged citizens to leave the city. （3）What may contribute to improving the air quality in Mexico? A. Alternate-day rules. B. Tax rises. C. Congestion charge. D. The rainy season.（4）What's the best title for the passage? A. Mexico —an Island Plateau B. A Variety of Bans on Vehicles in Mexico C. Should Cities Be Car-free Zones D. How to Improve Air Quality 【答案】（1）A （2）B （3）D （4）C

(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
