科目:高中英语 来源:2013-2014学年黑龙江省高三上学期第三次验收英语试卷(解析版) 题型:阅读理解

Last Sunday I made a visit to some new neighbors down the block. No specific in mind, just an opportunity to sit at the kitchen table, have some tea and chat. As I did so, it occurred to me how rare the Sunday visit has become.

    When I was a kid in New Jersey of the 1960s, Sunday visits were routine. Most stores were closed, almost nobody worked, and the highways, as a result, were not desperate steeplechases(障碍赛跑) they have become today. My family normally traveled eight city blocks to the home of my grandmother, where adults would sit on the front porch and chat while we children played hide-and-seek.

The Sunday visit was something to desire strongly. It was the repetition to church, our reward for an hour of devotion, an opportunity to take advantage of the fact that Dad was not at work, we were not in school, and there was no housework that couldn’t wait until Monday. Sunday was, indeed, different from the other days of the week, because everyone seemed to be on the same schedule, which means that there was one day when everyone seemed to have time for everybody else.

Sunday as a day of rest is, or was, so deeply rooted in the culture that it’s surprising to find that, in a short span of time, it has almost entirely lost this association. In my childhood, it was assumed that everyone would either be home or visiting someone else’s home on Sunday. But now the question is, “What do you plan to DO this Sunday?” The answer can range from going to the mall, to participating in a road race, to Montreal for lunch. If one were to respond, “I’m making a Sunday visit to family,” such an answer would feel strange, which sounds like an echo from another era.

I suppose I should be grateful to live in Maine, a state of small towns, abundant land and tight relationships. Even though folks work as hard here as they do anywhere else, the state’s powerfully rural feature still keeps at least remnants(残余部分) of the moral of yesterday’s America, where people had to depend on one another in the face of economic vagaries(反复无常的情况) and a challenging environment.

1.The writer’s general impression of the Sunday in the past was a day when__.

A. everyone was paying a visit to some relatives far away

B. everyone seemed to be free for others

C. Dad was not at work while Mom was busy cleaning the house

D. nearly every adult would go to church and children weren’t at school

2.In the fourth paragraph, the writer compares the response “I’m making a Sunday visit to family” to an echo from another era because_____.

A. people nowadays prefer staying at home on Sunday

B. such answers are rarely heard in our modern society

C. people in the city dislike being disturbed on Sunday

D. visiting someone on Sunday was routine in the past

3.From the last paragraph we may infer that_____.

A. people in Maine suffer more from economic depression and the changed environment

B. people in Maine have abandoned their tradition and lived an absolutely new life

C. land in Maine is short, thus the relationship between people is tense

D. people in Maine tend to help each other out of necessity

4.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Doing many activities on Sunday is beneficial.

B. We should often travel a long distance to visit some friends and relatives.

C. Nowadays, Sunday has almost lost its association as a day of rest.

D. We should abandon some old tradition.

I usually doubt about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago.While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, 1 was struck by a report which concluded that today’s children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children between 9 and 17 have a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.

Why are America’s kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation (孤独) brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.

Given that we can’t turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation to cope.

At the top of the list,nurturing (培育) is a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.

To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later.They will then have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep.

Limit the amount of virtual (虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It’s not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.

Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.

Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you deal with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable,but it doesn’t have to ruin your life.

1.What does the author thinks of the conclusion that people in America are unhappier than 50 years ago?

A.Surprising         B.Confusing         C.Illogical           D.Questionable

2.What does the author mean by saying “ we can’t turn the clock back(Para. 3)?

A.It’s impossible to slow down the pace of the change.

B.The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.

C.Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.

D.It’s impossible to forget the past.

3.According to an analysis, compared with normal children today, children 50 years ago __________.

A.were less isolated physically

B.were probably less self-centered

C.probably suffered less from anxiety

D.were considered less individualistic

4.What is the first and most important thing parents should do to help their children?

A.To provide them with a safer environment.

B.To lower their expectations for them.

C.To get them more involved socially.

D.To set a good model for them to follow.

5.What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?

A.Anxiety, though always unavoidable, can be coped with.

B.Children’s anxiety has been enormously exaggerated(夸大).

C.Children’s anxiety can be removed with more parental care.

D.Anxiety, if properly controlled, may help children become mature.

The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture to help perform operations for about 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves inserting(插入)flexible needles (针)into certain parts of the body. The needles used are available in a number of stores in China and everyone may buy them.

To learn how to use needle takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to insert the needles so the needles themselves are not painful. This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed. The needles are not necessarily inserted near the place where the pain is to be prevented. In the past, a particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body. But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles.

Today the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture. They are trying to develop a convincing theory to explain how the needles work in preventing pain, or, why a needle in the wrist(手腕), for example, would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth.

A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sleep. It has been estimated that over half of the patients choose acupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation whereas(然而,反之) the chemical may make the patient sick for a few hours or a day.

1.Acupuncture is a kind of _______.

    A. medical needles          B. medical equipment

    C. medical technique        D. medical examination

2. To perform the acupuncture skillfully, one _______.

    A. has to learn how to insert the needles accurately in the right place

    B. should insert the needles where the pain is to be prevented

    C. needs to be trained for a short period of time

    D. must use fewer needles than in the past

3. According to the 3rd paragraph, we can infer _______.

    A. people must insert a needle in the wrist to prevent the pain in the mouth

    B. people come to realize the shortcomings of the acupuncture

    C. people are convinced to use the acupuncture to cure diseases

    D. people need to make deeper research into the acupuncture

4.Nowadays, more and more people prefer having acupuncture because _______.

    A. acupuncture has no side effects after the operation

    B. acupuncture costs them less than having chemicals

    C. chemicals usually cause many more deaths

    D. they want to protect the traditional Chinese medicine

5. The author of the passage tends to be ________ acupuncture.

    A. strongly against      B. in favor of     C. doubtful about      D. uninterested in

科目:高中英语 来源:2013届福建省高一下学期期中考试英语题 题型:阅读理解

Several years ago, I had a huge falling out with one of my best friends. So huge, in fact, that now I can’t even remember what happened.

In the past nine years, I’ve seen her twice, and each time we’ve been polite but distant. And that troubles me because we were once that close to each other. I’d like nothing more than to go back nine years, and continue our friendship. But how? How do you reconnect with friends you’ve lost throughout the years?

Linking to your past

The desire to reconnect with lost friend isn’t unusual. Why? Because friends link us to the past. Friends from years ago are custodians(监护人) of our past, says Sandy Sheehy, author of Connecting” The Enduring Power of Female Friendship.

Although you can’t share information about your past with friends you’ve met recently, you don’t have a shared history with them. So you wind up only telling them about your past, rather than sharing it with them.

But many people never try to reconnect. Women especially have trouble taking the first step. Shyness or fear that the other person doesn’t want to reconnect often stops many women. And that shouldn’t be. Your friends probably want to be in touch with you as much as you want to be in touch with them.

Searching for friends

Fortunately, finding lost friends isn’t as difficult as it once was, thanks to tools like the Internet. Our experts offer these suggestions for locating contact information:

Search Internet sites designed to locate people like classmates.com and switchboard.com.

Contact your high school or college alumni(校友)office to request current address information.

Surf online yellow pages. Check current phone records from your friend’s hometown.

Network with other friends who might have known your friend.

Get in touch with any of her relatives(亲戚), if you know where they live. If you know where she works, find the company’s web site and search the directory of personnel.

1.What ‘s the subject discussed in the passage?

A. How to make new friends.               B. How to rediscover friendships.

C. How to develop healthy friendships     D. How to keep in touch with friends.

2.The underlined sentence “Friends from years ago are custodians of our past” means _____.

A. many years ago old friends kept something for us

B. in the past old friends took care of us

C. old friends are part of our life history

D. old friends know what wrong things we did in the past

3.What makes us unwilling to reconnect old friends?

A. Lack of money                    B. Shortage of time        

C. Regret and shame                 D. Fear and shyness

4.How can we make contact with the lost friends?

A. By asking other friends of the information on your lost friends.

B. By searching your friends’ telephone number in the net.

C. By asking the local post office about your friends’ new address.

D. By putting an ad in your friends’ local town.
