一、阅读理解
A
A new program encouraging children ages 9 to 12 to get interested in computers,math and science starts next week at all 36 libraries of the San Diego Public Library.
Called “Spring into STEAM”,the program will offer workshops in March,April and May.It begins on March 2.
“We know that science education is so important now,and technology is changing so fast,” said Misty Jones,library director.“We see this as a way to bring kids new ideas and help them know more about the world around them.”
STEAM stands for science,technology,engineering,art and math,and there will be workshops in each area.This year’s theme is “Bug Out!”,so the science workshop will invite insect experts to explain the survival skills of insects.The engineering workshop will watch bees as builders.For math,the kids will learn spatial geometry (空间几何学) by making 3-D paper insects.Kids in other workshops will learn computer coding,create a light using a glass bottle,or build insects using pipe cleaners and LED lights.
Jones said she’s also excited about the chance for children to take part in the International Barcode of Life Project,which is trying to create a digital catalog (电子目录) of different kinds of insects on Earth.Kids in San Diego can ask for free insect collection tools at their local libraries beginning on March 2.Insects they collect can then be sent in for DNA identification.
Jones said it is unusual for every library to start the same program at the same time.“It’s something we’ve been trying to do,and I think it’s just the beginning of the chances we will be able to offer,” she said.

Does a grasshopper taco (墨西哥蚂蚱卷饼) sound delicious? If you were living in another part of the world — say,Mexico or Thailand or Kenya — the idea of eating insects might not seem strange to you at all.For thousands of years,insect-eating has been common practice among many of the world’s people.According to insect-eaters around the world,insects are tasty.
Insect fans say insects are not only tasty,they are also nutritious.Arnold van Huis is working with other scientists to encourage insect-eating in areas where it is already common.
According to the United Nations,the planet’s population is now almost 7 billion.It is expected to reach 9 billion before 2050.By that time,people’s need for meat is expected to double.Raising livestock (家畜) requires large areas of farmland,and feeding the animals can be expensive.“We have to find something else to take the place of meat,” Arnold van Huis says.“One very good choice is using insects.”
Raising insects would require less land,says Arnold van Huis.Insects would also be cheaper to feed.
For insect-eating to become popular in the U.S.,Brian Fisher,an insect scientist at the California Academy of Sciences,says people must be careful with ready-to-eat insects.There are more than 1,700 types of insects that are safe to eat.But do not even think of eating insects from your backyard,since there is no way of knowing if they are dangerous! If you really want to eat insects,it is possible to order insect cuisine (烹饪) at a handful of U.S.restaurants.
Arnold van Huis is working with chefs in the Netherlands to develop delicious insect recipes.For one experiment,his team prepared two types of meatballs:some made with meat and others made with mealworms and meat.In a blind taste test,nine out of ten people preferred the mealworm meatballs.
In the future,will eating insects be common practice for people in Europe and North America? “I’m completely sure it will,” says Arnold van Huis.
4.What can we learn about insect-eating in Thailand or Kenya?
A.It is not allowed.
B.It is not common.
C.It is very popular.
D.It is rather strange.

5.According to Arnold van Huis,what would be an advantage of eating more insects?
A.It would save more livestock.
B.It would solve environmental problems.
C.It would provide more nutrition for people.
D.It would help feed the world’s growing population.
6.Why does Brian Fisher advise people to go to restaurants to eat insects?
A.Insect cuisine ordered there is delicious.
B.Insects cooked there taste more like meat.
C.Insects cooked there are safe enough to eat.
D.Different insect cuisine can be chosen there.
7.How might Arnold van Huis feel about the experimental result mentioned in Paragraph 6?
A.Fearful.
B.Satisfied.
C.Doubtful.
D.Surprised.
二、七选五
What does it really mean to be successful?
1.It is about being able to live a happy life.
If you want to have a successful life,here are three things you need to focus on.
1.Believe in yourself
If you don’t believe in yourself,how do you expect other people to? When you believe in yourself,it fuels (促进) your creativity and your motivation to do things.All successful people from Gandhi to Tesla believed in themselves.2.We all have to trust that we have the ability to turn the impossible into the possible.
2.Know your intention
3,it is important to have an understanding of your intention.If your intention is simply rooted in money and fame,you are never going to truly feel successful.Money and fame only serve the ego (自负) and don’t provide true feelings of success.For a truly successful life,your intention has to be rooted in your purpose and passions.When your intention is to serve your purpose,make a change in the world and express your talents,you will feel true success and satisfaction.
3.4

Success is all around you right now.Stop to take a moment and you’ll notice the amazing success that is already present in your life.5.Being thankful for the tiniest successes in life will help you to create more and more success.
A.Realize you are already successful
B.Discover the true meaning of success
C.This is what gave them the drive to succeed
D.If you want to create a good living condition
E.When it comes to achieving greatness in this life
F.That is when you will start to feel truly successful
G.Success is much more than just money or fame

2.B细节理解题。由第四段中的“The engineering workshop will watch bees as builders.”可知,参加该小组的孩子将会了解蜜蜂是如何筑巢的。
3.A推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“Kids in San Diego can ask for free insect collection tools at their local libraries beginning on March 2.Insects they collect can then be sent in for DNA identification.”可知,孩子们为该工程收集昆虫。
【篇章导读】本文是说明文。来自荷兰的昆虫专家Arnold van Huis认为虫子不仅美味还能帮助养活不断增长的世界人口。
4.C推理判断题。由第一段中的“If you were living in...Mexico or Thailand or Kenya —the idea of eating insects might not seem strange to you at all...insect-eating has been common practice among many of the world’s people”可知,在泰国或肯尼亚很流行吃昆虫。
5.D推理判断题。第三段提及了随着世界人口数量的急剧增长,人类对肉的需求量也
大大增加。由第三段Arnold van Huis提出的建议“find something else to take the place of meat...One very good choice is using insects”和第四段他指出饲养昆虫的优势require less land和be cheaper to feed可知,他认为昆虫可替代肉来帮助养活不断增长的世界人口。
6.C细节理解题。由倒数第三段中的“But do not even think of eating insects from your backyard,since there is no way of knowing if they are dangerous”可知,Brian Fisher建议想
要吃昆虫的人去饭店是出于安全方面的考虑。
7.B推理判断题。倒数第二段的实验结果“nine out of ten people preferred the mealworm meatballs”说明,绝大多数受测者喜欢含有昆虫的肉丸。这样的实验结果对鼓励人们食用昆虫并致力于研发美味的昆虫食谱的Arnold van Huis来说自然是满意的。
二、【篇章导读】本文是说明文。文章就成功提出三点建议,告诫人们:成功不仅仅只是收获名利,而是内心的满足。只要相信自己、明确目标、懂得满足,你就是成功的。
1.G根据上文“What does it really mean to be successful?”及下文中的“It is about being able to live a happy life”可知,此空应为成功的定义。G项指出:成功不只是金钱和名誉,符合上下文语境。
5
2.C根据上文中的“All successful people from Gandhi to Tesla believed in themselves”可知,此空为:正是他们相信自己,才取得巨大成就。C项符合语境。
3.E根据下文中的“If your intention is simply rooted in money and fame,you are never going to truly feel successful”可知,如果目标不正确,就不会觉得自己成功,因此上文提出:在讨论如何取得成功之前,首先要对人生的目标有正确的理解。E项符合语境。
4.A根据下文中的“you’ll notice the amazing success that is already present in your life”可知,第三点建议为:要意识到你已经是成功的。A项符合语境。

6.known考查过去分词做表语的用法。设空处做表语,which在此指代process,因为know与process之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故填known。
7.that/which考查关系代词。设空处引导限制性定语从句修饰disease,且在从句中做主语,故填that或which。
8.to bury考查不定式做补语的用法。advise sb not to do sth意为“建议某人不做某事”。

高考英语阅读理解专项训练100篇(附答案)
高考英语阅读理解专项训练100篇 (名师传授解题技巧+实战练习，值得下载) 一、阅读理解解题技巧 阅读理解题是考查学生对活的语言材料的理解能力，即通过阅读材料获得信息的能力。具体说来，阅读理解能力测试的主要要求是：（1）掌握所读材料的主旨大意，以及用以说明主旨大意的事实和细节；（2）既理解具体事实，也理解抽象的概念；（3）既理解字面意思，也理解深层含义，包括作者的态度、意图等；（4）既理解某句、某段的意义，也理解全篇的逻辑关系，并能根据文章进行推理和判断；（5）既能根据材料所提供的信息去理解，也能结合中学生应有的常识去理解。根据这几项能力测试的要求，试题中常采用如下几种题型：事实询问题、推理判断题、数据推算题、识图解意题和主旨大意题。根据这一测试要求和题型设计，答题时可以采取如下解题技巧和对策。 1．首先解题时要充满自信。由于平时有些同学对做阅读理解时存在一种畏惧心理，因此考试做题时心理就难免会产生紧张感，特别是阅读时再遇到几个生词就头脑发胀，从而使自己的思路更加模糊不清。其实这是完全没有必要的，因为阅读中遇到几个生词或几个难以理解的句子是常有的事，也是正常现象。因为按大纲要求，试卷中允许有不超过3%的生词，只要认真分析，仔细阅读，这些生词和句子很可能并不影响你的解题。所以答题之前首先要有必胜的信心。 2．扫读全文，理解全文主旨大意。拿到一篇文章，首先要快速扫读全文，虽为扫读，但不可漫不经心，阅读时也应聚精会神，力求可能多地获取材料信息，只是这次遇到生词和难句先不必去处理，不要因纠缠文中的个别生词和难句而影响了对全文的主旨大意的了解。
3．对症下药，各个击破。了解全文的大概意思之后，再把短文的问题简单看一遍，弄懂题意，然后带着问题再去寻读全文。这次阅读过程中要善于抓文章中的关键词句。寻读也就是迅速的查找需要了解的信息，是为某些特定的问题而阅读，因此阅读时要有较强的针对性，对与问题有关的数据，词句等仔细阅读，认真理解，同时结合不同考查内容的题型，采取如下解题对策： （1）事实询问题：这类试题通常是以疑问词what，who，when，where，why，how 等引起的特殊问句，就文章中某一词语、某一句子、某一段落或某一具体细节和事实进行提问。解答此类试题首先要弄清题目和每一个选项的含义，然后按题目要求寻找与之相关的细节，正确估计答案来源，同时注意题目和文章中的暗示作用。特别注意辨别各种信息，确认各种信息。 （2）推理判断题：此题要求我们通过表面文字信息去推测文章隐含的意思，对文章的发展情节及作者的态度、意图等做出合乎逻辑的的推理判断。这种题要求我们在阅读时要抓住文章的主题和细节、从分析文章的结构入手，根据上下文的内在联系，充分挖掘文章的深层含义。对暗含在文章中事件的因果关系，人物的动机，以及作者未言明的倾向、态度、意图、观点进行合乎逻辑的推理、分析和判断。同时善于抓住文中实质性的东西，不要被带假象的表面信息或似是而非的东西所迷惑。并且注意推断作者态度时要力求从作者的态度、观点去思考，切勿想当然，凭个人的观点习惯看法来回答的问题。 （3）数据推算题：此题要求我们就文章提供的数据，以及数据与文章中其他信息的关系做出计算和推断，然后做出选择。这就要求我们解题时，要在理解好题意的前提下去对与数据有关的信息认真分析，若数据信息较多，还要注意弄清数据之间的关系，同时分清有用与无用信息，最终作出正确判断。 （4）主旨大意题：此题用以考查我们对文章主题或中心思想的领会和理解能力。在解答此类试题时要注意每段的中心句，抓住每一段的主题句。一般主题句都用来表达一段主旨大意，因此，只要找准每段的主题句，文章的中心思想和文章的最佳标题也就不难确定了。

(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

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析
高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps，back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time. （1）Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps? A. Because he was injured in his swimming. B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment. C. Because westerners know a little about TCM. D. Because westerners attach great importance to TCM. （2）Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases. B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture. C. Because Western medicine is more effective. D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly. （3）Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4? A. The methods of planting herbs. B. The effectiveness of prescription. C. Lacking in standardization. D. Its stable functions.
高考英语阅读理解限时训练题及答案
2014高考英语阅读理解限时训练题及答案（10） 【深圳市2014高考英语综合能力测试题（7）】A Actually, long-distance bicycle camping is one of the most pleasurable activities I have ever experienced. I generally sleep poorly at night, but in the woods on a tour, I sleep like a baby, falling asleep with the music of insects. In the morning, I am awakened by the cheeps of birds. I eat a snack before getting up, and then I quickly pack my sleeping bag, air mattress (垫), tent, and other things and get on with my road. I'm slower in the morning, having less speed but a greater desire to stop at pleasant spots and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Traveling by bike allows me to stop anywhere, such as grasslands, lakes, woods, and scenic spots. Near lunch, I find a small grocery and buy some bread, sandwiches and fruit. Then I will find a town park or other shady spots to wait out the high mid-day sun. In the afternoon, my speeds are higher, and I spend less time on stops. In the late afternoon, I start riding more slowly, and I start thinking about where I will stop. I finally find a place in the early evening, cook a simple meal and have a rest. As it starts to get dark, I put up my tent, crawl in and fall asleep. There are exciting times and difficult times as well.

【英语】高考英语阅读理解专项练习及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Money is the root of all evil (邪恶) and new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying. Scientists at the University of California Berkeley, US, announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do immoral things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer people. The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNA《美国国家科学院院刊》). They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive ears ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving mow modest cars. In another experiment, a group of college students was asked if they would do immoral things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher — class families were more likely to act dishonestly. According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people's feelings. Finally, it just makes them greedier. “Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more, and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self- intere st,” said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study. Piff pointed out that the findings don't mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts（本能）and values in different ways. （1）By saying “money is the root of all evil”, the author wants to .
