He stopped to watch the classroom and hoped his students would go on explaining it．But the young men looked at each other and nobody answered him．He had to ask，“What
happens？What makes the atom lost?”

In order to know a foreign language thoroughly（完全地），four things are necessary．First，we must understand the language when we hear it spoken．Secondly，we must be able to speak it ourselves，with confidence and without hesitation（犹豫）．Thirdly，we must do much reading．Finally，we must be able to write it．We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar．
There are no shortcuts to success in language learning．A good memory is a great help，but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book．It is not much learning by heart long lists of words and their meanings，studying the dictionary and so on．We must learn by using the language．
If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized，we are not really learning the language．We must “learn through use．” Practice is important．We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever we can．
16．The most important things to learn a foreign language are ____. A．understanding and speaking
B．listening，speaking，reading and writing
C．writing and understanding
D．memorizing and listening
17．Someone hears and writes English very well，but he speaks it very badly．This is because _______．
A．he doesn’t understand the language when he hears it spoken B．he doesn’t have a good memory

D．he often hesitates to practice speaking it
18．One can never learn a foreign language well by______．A．doing much practice
B．studying the dictionary
C．learning through use
D．using the language
19．Which is the most important in learning a foreign language？A．A good memory．

C．Practice．
D．Writing．
20．“Learn through use” means ________．
A．we use a language in order to learn it
B．we learn a foreign language in order to use it
C．we can learn a language well while we are keeping using it D．B and C．
阅读理解专项训练2
A
What is language for? Some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists，the better．That’s wrong．Language is for the exchange of ideas and information．It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can’t speak correctly or fluently．They are afraid of making mistakes．One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language．Native speakers make mistakes and break rules，too．Bernard Saw once wrote，“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They’re English mistakes in the English language．And if enough native speakers break a rule，it is no longer a rule．What used to be wrong becomes right．People not only make history，they make language．But a people can only make its own language．It can’t make another people’s language．So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar，but they shouldn’t overdo（做过头）it．They should put communication first．
1．Language is used to ______．
A．express oneself
B．practice grammar rules
C．talk with foreigners only
D．learn lists of words

A．what they use will become right
B．they are against the law
C．they should say sorry to others

C．speak to native speakers

B
In Canada you can find dogs，cats，horses，etc．in almost every family．These are their pets．People love these pets and have them as their good friends．Before they keep them in their houses，they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections（注射）so that they won’t carry disease．They have special animal food stores，though they can get animal food in almost every kind of store．Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food．When you visit people’s houses，they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them．You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden．All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal．They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada．They have a law against killing wild animals．If you killed an animal，you would be punished．If an animal happened to get run over by a car，people would be very sad about it．
People in Canada have many reasons to like animals．One of them might be：Their family ties are not as close as ours．When children grow up，they leave their parents and start their own life．Then the old will feel lonely．But pets can solve this problem．They can be good friends and never leave them alone．

Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again．They want to bring water to the deserts，so people can live and grow food．They are learning a lot about the deserts．But more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time．Scientists may not be able to change the desert in time．
Why is more and more land becoming desert？Scientists think that people make deserts．People are doing bad things to the earth．Some places on the earth don’t get much rain．But they still don’t become deserts．This is because some green plants are growing there．Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places．Plants don’t let the sun make the earth even drier．Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away．When a bit of rain falls，the plants hold the water．Without plants，the land can become desert more easily．
11．Deserts _____________．
A．never have any plants or animals in them
B．can all be turned into good land before long
C．are becoming smaller and smaller

C．all places without much rain will become deserts
D．it is better to grow crops on dry land than to cut them
D
Why do people in all countries ride in buses to school，to work and to far places?Buses can go where trains and airplanes cannot．They do not cost as much to travel on．Even though they may not move as fast as airplanes and trains，they sometimes take people between two places faster．This is because they may travel a more direct way，or may leave more often，or at better times．Buses come in different sizes．A small bus can carry only eight or ten people．A large one might have seats for fifty to seventy people and have standing room for more．
Thousands of yellow school buses carry millions of children to school every year．Most of these buses have seats placed quite close together to fit in as many children as possible．Some schools buy their own buses. Others pay to use buses that belong to bus companies．
City and town buses carry people for short distances．The seats of these are close together，and there is standing room as well．Most city buses have two doors so that people can get on and off quickly．Long distance buses go from state to state or country to country．They give people the chance to travel across huge stretches of land．These buses have comfortable seats that can be moved to different positions．They have places to store suitcases．Many have washrooms．All these things are important on a long trip．16．Compared with trains and planes，buses don’t have the advantage of _______．
A．safety B．frequent travel

Every day millions of letters go from one country to another．Letters mailed in Italy are received in Japan．Letters mailed in Canada are received in Africa．On the letters are many different kinds of stamps，bought in different countries．The Universal Postal Union helps each letter get to the right place as quickly as possible．It sets up rules about the size and weight of letters，postcards，and small packages（包裹）．It has rules that all countries must follow about international postal rates（费用）．One hundred years ago，international mail did not move so smoothly．One country did not always accept another country’s letters．Letters from some countries were too large to fit into the mailboxes of other countries.Letters travelled by many different routes（路线）．Some were lost along the way．
Sometimes the person who sent the letter could pay only part of the postage．The person receiving the letter had to pay the rest．The United States was the first to suggest that all countries work together to settle the questions of international mail．In 1974，men from twenty－four countries met in Switzerland to form the Universal Postal Union．Today，more than 120 nations belong to this union．From its office in Switzerland，the union helps the mail to move safely and quickly around the world．

Earthquakes are something that people fear．There are some places that have few or no earthquakes．Most places in the world，however，have them regularly（有规律的）．Countries that have a lot of earthquakes are usually quite mountainous（多山的）．The most talked about earthquake in the United States was in San Francisco in 1906．Over 700 people died in it．The strongest one in North America was in 1964．It happened in Alaska．
Strong earthquakes are not always the ones that kill the most people．In 1755，one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded was felt in Portugal．Around 2,000 people died．
In 1923，a very strong earthquake hit the Tokyo，Yokohama area of Japan．A hundred and forty thousand people died．Most of them died in fires which followed the earthquake．
One of the worst earthquakes ever was in China in 1976．It killed a large number of people．The worst earthquake ever reported was also in China，in which 400,000 people were killed or injured．This earthquake happened in 1556．

It is surprising that eating three meals a day—breakfast，lunch and dinner—has been a custom only since 1890．Before this time，people only had two meals a day—breakfast and dinner．In the 16th century，breakfast was only to break one’s fast（随便吃一点）．But 200 years later it had become a large meal，not just for family，but for numbers of guests as well．It was a social event．It began at 10 a.m．and lasted until 1 p.m．Then breakfast began to be less popular．It became，instead，a lighter meal and was taken at a much earlier hour．By 1850 it had been pushed back to 8 a.m．and became a family meal．

（英语）高一英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案) 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 From the loss of wildlife to rising sea levels, we're all well aware of the problems that climate change could cause. But while it may seem like such issues won't affect most of us directly，it looks like future generations could grow up without something that many of us now take for granted: chocolate. According to an essay published by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, changes to the climate in the regions that produce cacao - the plant from which chocolate is produced - may mean that it will soon become extinct. Most of the world's cacao grows in countries close to the equator，with over half of it growing in the African nations of Ghana and Ivory Coast. It's predicted that by 2050, climate change will have accelerated the rate at which temperatures in these countries rise, making it extremely difficult for cacao to grow there. The problem doesn't lie in increased heat, however，but in lower humidity (湿度)，as it's believed that rainfall will stay at the same level if the temperature rises. “In other words, as higher temperatures squeeze more water out of soil and plants, it's unlikely that rainfall will increase enough to offset the moisture (含水量) loss,” Michon Scott, the essay's author, wrote. To help fight this problem, researchers from Berkeley University in the US are working on changing the DNA of cacao plants to allow them to survive in dryer conditions by using gene editing technology, according to US News. In the meantime, US company Mars, one of the world's biggest manufacturers of chocolate products, announced in January that it would spend $1 billion to help reduce the effects of climate change. “This is a world issue, and it requires everyone to work together,” Mars spokesperson Barry Parkin told Business Insider. The message here is that if we all do our part, we may be able to prevent some of the worst impacts of climate change. Or if we're unlucky, chocolate will become a thing of the past. （1）What could make it hard for cacao to survive around the equator in the future? A. The increased heat there. B. The higher humidity there. C. The decrease in rainfall there. D. The moisture loss in the soil there. （2）What does the underlined word “offset” in the seventh paragraph mean? A. hold back B. make up for C. protect D. accept （3）What will US company Mars do to help cacao survive? A. It will work hard to plant cacao in greenhouses. B. It will apply gene editing technology in planting cacao. C. It will give financial support to help fight climate change. D. It will develop cacao that can survive in dryer conditions. （4）What may be the best title of this text?

2020年中考英语阅读理解专题练习(含答案)
2020中考英语大阅读组合练有答案 一、阅读理解 A Getting electricity has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South America. However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rain damaged the only power cables in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce. Luckily, according to the researchers at the University of Technology (UT) in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution. They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb. While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the idea is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the sun's energy, water and chemicals from the soil), they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons — the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to capture the energy and keep it in the lamp's batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50－watt LED light for two hours — enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done. The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp, believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities, 42% of whom have no electricity. ()1、What are the problems of oil lamps according to Paragraph 1? A. They are difficult to use and create pollution. B. They are expensive to buy and easily damaged. C. They are difficult to repair and produce little light. D. They are expensive to use and can be bad for health. ()2、The underlined word “cables” means “______”in Chinese. A. 电报B．电缆 C. 电话 D. 网线 ()3、What is true about the Plant Lamp? A. It can be made by local people. B. It is much easier to use than oil lamps. C. It can produce all the electricity the villagers need. D. The things it needs to make electricity are easy to find.

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."

Autumn fought to control it but it was too late. We ran into a truck. The girls jumped out of the car. My chest felt much pain. “Get out, Mom. Come on！” Amber cried. “I can't,” I said. Autumn took out her cellphone, “There's been an accident. Send an ambulance (救护车)！” Amber and Autumn pulled me out of the car and helped me lie on my back in the grassy area by the roadside.

Another woman came close to me and said, “No one in the truck was injured.
