The United States is a large country. From the East Coast to the West Coast it is about 3, 000 miles wide. The Atlantic Ocean is on the East Coast and the Pacific Ocean is on the West Coast. Canada is the country to the north of the United States and Mexico is the country to the south. There are many rivers in the United States. The most important ones are the Mississippi River and the Missouri River in the central part of the country, and the Colorado and Columbia River in west. There are 50 states in the United States today.
The American people are of almost every race in the world. This is because of immigrations from abroad throughout American history. The population is now over two hundred million. English is the common language. The largest city in the United States is New York. It is on New York Bay and at the mouth of the Hudson River.

In the United States, it is not usual to telephone someone early in the morning. If you telephone early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. So it is with the telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call ring sleeping hours, he may think that it’s a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
In social life, time plays a very important part. In the USA guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party reaches them only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time is not the same in different cultures that treat time differently; being on time is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not on time, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the USA no one would think of keeping a business friend for an hour; it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a shout apology. It he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.
1.A call at midnight would mean_________.
A. the matter is less important
B. the matter is too difficult to handle
C. the matter requires immediate attention
D. it is a matter of life and death
2.According to the passage, time plays a very important part in_______.
A. everyday life B. private life
C. getting along with others D. business

A. three or four days before the party date in all cultures
B. three or four days before the party date in some cultures
C. three or four days before the party date in the USA
D. at your chosen time

About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier, only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!
There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man can not see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green - a strange world indeed.
Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called“cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of“rods” but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but no color.
Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes (蚊子) like blue but do not like yellow. y red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of </PGN0007B.TXT/PGN>the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible (看不见的) colors around.
1.Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?
A.Women are more careful.
B.There are few color-blind women.
C.Women are fonder of driving than men.
D.Women are weaker but quicker in thinking
2. This passage is mainly about ________.
A.color and its surprising effects
B.women being luckier than men
C.danger caused by color blindness
D.color blindness
3.According to the passage, with the help of the“cones”, we can ________.
A.tell orange from yellow
B.see in weak light
C.kill mosquitoes
D.tell different shapes
4.We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a ________. A.red light B.yellow light C.blue light D.green light

❹ 高中英语阅读能力强的人进来看
一、充足的词汇量
充足的词汇量不仅是应试阅读理解部分的基础,而且是整个考试成功的关键,因此考生在备考之初必须花大力气积极扩展词汇量。在考研大纲规定的5 500个词汇和词组中,考生至少应该掌握其中的90%以上,而且应该选择其中一部分词汇和词组做重点记忆。不仅如此,考生还应该记忆一些虽然超纲、但出现频率很高的词语,记忆一些与目前的社会热点问题相关的新词语,如有关计算机网络的常用词语。而且,词汇的记忆应该结合文章的上下文,而不能孤立地进行。只有在上下文中记忆的词语印象才更深刻,理解才更透彻,这同时也锻炼了考生根据上下文推测和理解词义的能力。
二、把握文章重要信息
把握重要信息的能力直接关系到做题的命中率。一篇文章的重要信息包括文章涉及的各主要方面以及作者的观点。就作者的观点而言,在英文文章中,作者很少用“我认为”、“在我看来”这样的措辞直接表达自己的观点,而经常是借助于其他方式表达。例如,各种转折句经常准确地表达作者的观点,相应地,当回答涉及作者观点的题时,考生要充分利用这些转折句提供的线索,达到对作者观点的准确把握。把握文章的重点信息不仅帮助考生正确地回答涉及作者观点的题,而且对整个文章的理解会起到强有力的引导作用。
三、疑难长句的理解
提高对疑难长句的理解能力不仅对应试阅读理解部分重要,而且对应试翻译和综合填空部分同样重要。理解疑难长句,关键的问题是首先把握住句子的主干框架,只有这样,才把握住了各句子成分之间的结构和逻辑关系,才可能抓住句子的核心意思,这时,即使有个别单词不认识,也不会严重影响对整个句子的基本理解。其次,要达到对疑难长句的正确理解,考生必须学会利用上下文提供的线索把握词语的确切含义,具体地说,就是要学会利用某个句子的上一句和下一句提供的词语上的线索,达到对这个句子更确切的理解。这也是我们不主张考生脱离文章的上下文、孤立地分析疑难长句的原因。此外,学会把握句与句之间的关系,对应试阅读理解新题型尤其重要。
四、掌握解题思路
良好的解题思路当然非常重要。在做阅读理解部分题时,不少考生采用的方法是将四个选择项与文章中某些地方反复对照。这种做法不仅效率不高,而且占用了大量时间。笔者认为,不同的题型应该采用不同的思路来回答。例如,在回答问及作者态度的题时,考生应该集中考察文章中表达作者观点的那些句子(如转折句)或最后一段(尤其是最后两三句)表达的内容,待看懂这些地方以后,再阅读四个选择项。这样做往往能够帮助考生直接选出正确答案,省去反复核对文字占用的时间。
五、扩大知识面
近几年来,考研文章的题材呈现出两个显著特点,一是选文内容比较新颖,二是涉及的领域较广阔,包括经济、文化、教育、科技、法律、社会等问题。为了达到对文章的透彻理解,考生必须积极扩大自己的知识面。除了上面提到的传统话题外,考生还要了解新知识,了解社会热点问题,如:计算机网络、信息等技术的应用带来的影响,医学、教育、法律等方面的一些争议,经济上的热点问题、全球化问题等等。相信知识面的扩大无疑将加深考生对文章的理解,拓展把握题的思路。 扩大阅读面,每天坚持多读多写,每天坚持能写点英语方面的东西,比如日记,或者命题作文,或者翻译一点东西,这样结合着协同推进,效果会比较好。阅读面扩大方面,既可以拿一些阅读理解题来做,看一些小段落的阅读材料,也可以翻阅一些英语报刊,比如《英语世界》、《China Daily》、《21st Century》等等。如果条件与英语基础能力不错,还可以上一些外电或英文网站,获取一些知识,比如CNN、卫报等,如果能跟所报考专业的英语结合起来,就更好了。不仅能大大提升英语阅读能力,还可以学习专业课知识,同时还能提高专业能力,一举三得。
❺ 高中英语阅读理解答题技巧(全国一)
额,我一般阅读会花上40分钟左右,LL不要觉得别人写的很快就很好,没有质量还是不行回答....
你可以看两段写一题,我老师上次给我做了一次4级阅读【听说真的很难,我做了,的确很难】,我用自己的方法平均每道题知错了一个,加起来错了5个,不知道这个水平你是怎么看的。

Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri?鄄beri. He was going there to try and find a cure.
At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beri?鄄beri. He raised some chickens. He didn’t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate — refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery — that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (维生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person’s food.
Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don’t, they can also take vitamin pills.
61. The underlined word “cure” in Paragragh 1 probably means ______.
A. a medical treatment B. a kind of vitamin
C. a kind of germ D. a kind of rice
62. Christian Eijkman went to the island of Java to ______.

D. help the Javanese with their illness
63. Why did Christian Eijkman raise some chickens?

B. To carry out his experiments.
C. To give the Javanese a surprise.
D. To make money by selling them.
64. If a person doesn’t get enough vitamins in his diet, he’d better ______.

C. eat some chicken D. eat vitamin pills
65. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. beri?鄄beri was caused by chickens
B. the Javanese didn’t like vitamins
C. Christian Eijkman’s experiment was successful
D. the Javanese’s disease was caused by a kind of germ
C ★★
America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
66. The writer of this passage must be ______.
A. an American B. a Chinese
C. a professor D. a student
67. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.
B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.
C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.
D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.
68. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.
A. warmly welcomed at the airport
B. offered a ride to his home
C. treated hospitably at his home
D. treated to dinner in a restaurant
69. The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______.
A. strict with time B. serious with time
C. careful with time D. willing to spend time
70. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.
A. Friendships between Chinese
B. Friendships between Americans
C. Americans’ hospitality
D. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendships
D ★★★
The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:
“I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can’t even understand a bit of music.”
“I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”
But, one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”
I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.
Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative, they’re rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (责怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.
This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard (标准) for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.
Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.
71. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. A friend in need is a friend indeed
B. How to make friendship last for ever
C. You are who your friends are
D. Friends are the most important in one’s success
72. The underlined sentence “they’re rubbing off on you” in Paragraph 6 means ______.
A. they’ll push you ahead

C. they’ll cover your shortcomings
D. they’ll help you achieve your goal
73. The musicians’ words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______.
A. the musicians’ living conditions are quite poor
B. people have poor taste in music
C. people have different attitudes towards the same thing
D. young people have greater chances of succeeding
74. By taking the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 7, you can ______.
A. improve a lot in making more friends

Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.
Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.
Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.
Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute (降落伞)?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.
Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.

English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.
However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
71. According to the passage ______.
A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things
B. there should be egg in an eggplant
C. pineapples are the apples on the pine tree
D. boxing rings should be round
72. Which of the following is the correct plural?
A. Beeth. B. Geese. C. Meese. D. Tooth.
73. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?
A. A wise man and a wise guy.
B. Overlook and oversee.
C. Quite a lot and quite a few.
D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.
74. The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean “______”.
A. blow B. roll up C. get hurt D. finish
75. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ______.
A. clever B. crazy C. lazy D. ll

The nervous-looking young man had waited for a few moments outside the jeweler’s before he got enough courage to enter. He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present. The assistant listened carefully and told him he’d better buy a necklace. He wasn’t used to buying jewellery and was a little worried about overspending. After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o’clock. When, half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife Laura, the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before.

People who are hit by lightning and survive often have long-term effects. These may include memory loss, sleep disorders, muscle pain and depression.
Experts tell people to seek the safety of a building or a hard-top vehicle any time they hear thunder, even if it is not raining. They say lightning can strike as far as sixteen kilometers from any rainfall. Lightning can travel sideways. And at least ten percent of lightning happens without any clouds overhead that you can see.
People who are outdoors should make sure they are not the tallest thing around. Bend low to the ground, but do not lie down. And do not stand near a tree or any tall subject. Get away from water and anything made of metal. A car is safe, but do not touch any metal inside.
Safety experts say people in buildings should stay away from anything with wires or pipes that lead to the outside. The National Weather Service says if you plan to disconnect any electronic equipment, do so before the storm arrives. Do not use a wired telephone. Do not use water. All these can carry electricity.
Some people think a person struck by lightning carries an electrical charge (电荷) afterward. Experts say this is not true. It is safe to begin emergency treatment.
