She was taken aback in November when she noticed it had been replaced by a different voice.“Lawrence was a drama school graduate when he auditioned (试音) for a tour company. For six years after his death, I’d stay on the platform—just sit and listen to it again,” she added.When Margaret approached the tube, she was told it had a new broadcast system and it couldn’t use the old recording anymore.Nigel Holness, director of London Underground, said its staff has been so moved by McCollum’s story that they dug up the recording and gave the widow a copy of the announcement on a CD for her to keep. “Tube staff is also working to restore Lawrence’s announcement at the station,” he added. “It is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year. The tube’s ‘Mind the gap’ messages, voiced by various actors, have accompanied countless London commuter journeys since the 1960s. Train drivers and staff made the warnings themselves before that.”“I’m very pleased that people are interested in Oswald’s old recording,” Margaret said. “He was a great London transport user all his life .He would be amused, touched, and delighted to know he’s back where he belonged.”1. The best title for the passage is________. A. A Replaced Recording B. Mind the GapC. A Widow’s Wish D. The Tube’s Struggle2. The underlined phrase “ taken aback” means_________.A. disappointed B. annoyed C. excited D. shocked23. What can we infer from the passage?A. The tube always uses recordings to remind passengers.B. Oswald’s voice is great comfort to Margaret.C. No recording can be equal to Oswald’s voice.D. Oswald was an outstanding actor in London. 参考答案 1—3、CDB 黑龙江省大庆市喇中 2016 高考英语阅读练习——科普环保类Our body clock, or natural body rhythm, influences our energy and alertness. Paying attention to it can help us choose the suitable time of the day when we best perform specific tasks.The reality, however, is that most of us organize the time around work demands, school deadlines, commuting or social events. Doing whatever the body feels like doing is a luxury in today’s fast-paced modern society.But that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth trying. Obeying our body clock has significant health benefits. Disrupting our natural body rhythm, on the other hand, has been linked to problems such as depression, obesity, or headache, says Steve Key, a biology professor.When the body clock can synchronize (使…同步) the rhythms of its natural processes, it “gives us an advantage in daily life”, says Key.According to him, when it comes to cognitive (认知的) work, most adults perform best in the late morning. As our body temperature starts to rise just before awakening in the morning and continues to increase until midday, our memory, alertness and concentration gradually improve.However, he adds, our ability to concentrate typically starts to decrease soon thereafter. Most of us are more easily distracted (分心) between noon and 4 pm.Alertness also tends to fall after eating a meal and sleepiness tends to peak around 2 pm, making that a good time for a nap.Surprisingly, tiredness may increase our creative powers. For most adults, problems that require open-ended thinking are often best dealt with in the evening when they are tired, according to a study in the journal Thinking listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position. Then the two people should change roles.Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? 5What do I really want? What am I afraid of ? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, “64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation,and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves“. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends,. teachers. parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.68. This article is mainly about A. how to deal with school conflicts B. the cause of arguments in schoolsC. how to analyze youth violence D. the lives of school children69. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that________ .A. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtimeB. a small conflict can lead to violenceC. students tend to lose their temper easilyD. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight70. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?A. To find out who to blame.B. To get ready to buy new things.C. To make clear what the real issue is.D. To figure out how to stop the shouting match.71. The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to_______.A. complain about problems in school educationB. teach students different strategies for school lifeC. advocate teaching conflict management in schoolsD. inform teachers of the latest studies on school violence【参考答案】68—71、ABCC 6阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。【2014 高考二模】Did you know that women’s brains are smaller than men’s? The average women’s brain weighs 10% less than men’s. Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent(聪明的) than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size. Why? After years of study, researchers have concluded that it’s what’s inside that matters, not just the size of the brain. The brain consists of “grey matter” and“white matter”.While men have more of the latter ,the amount of “thinking” brain is almost exactly the same in both sexs.It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls tend to learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of information from different sources at the same time. When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, it’s women who come out on top every time.There are other important differences between two sexes. As white matter is the key to spatial(空间的) tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things. “A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,” says one researcher. That may explain one of life’s great mysteries:Why men refuse to ask for directions … and women often need to!The differences begin when fetuses(胎儿) are about nine weeks old, which can be seen in the action of children as young as one. A boy would try to climb a barrier (障碍物) before him or push it down while a girl would attract help from others. These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech skills. It may all go back to our ancestors(祖先) ,among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research.If all this disappoints you, it shouldn’t. “The brain changes throughout our lives according to what we do with it,” says a biologist.772. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A. Women’s brain is 10% less than men’s.B. Grey matter plays the same role as white matter.C. Grey matter controls thinking in the brain.D. Both sexes have the same amount of white matter.73. What can we infer from the second and third paragraphs?A. Men do better dealing with one job at a time.B. Women prefer doing many things at a time.C. Women do not need to tell directions.D. Men have weaker spatial abilities.74. Which of the following do you agree with according to the fourth paragraph?A. Young boys may be stronger than young girls.B. More women take up jobs requiring speech skills.C. Women may have stronger feelings than men.D. Our ancestors needed more spatial skills.75. What is the writer’s attitude in writing this passage?A. Defensive. B. Persuasive. C. Supportive. D.

We are warned of danger by sounds. Sounds serve to please us in music. Sound has a waste product, too, in the form of noise. Noise has been called unwanted sound. Noise is growing and it may get much worse before it gets any better.In order to know how noise affects people and animals, scientists have been studying for several years. They are surprised by what they have learned. Peace and quiet are becoming harder to find. Noise pollution is a threat that should be looked at carefully.Sounds is measured in units called decibels (分贝). At a level of 140 decibels people feel pain in their ears.Trucks , buses , motorcycles, airplanes, boats, factories---all these things make noise. 8They trouble not only our ears, but minds and bodies as well.There is a saying that it is so noisy that you can’t hear yourself think. Doctors who study noise believe that we must sometimes hear ourselves think. If we don’t, we may have headaches, other aches and pains, or even worse mental problems.Noise adds more tension (紧张) to a society that has already faced enough stress.【小题 1】The sense of sound _________. A．makes us feel excitedB．helps us hear more clearlyC．is something harmful to usD．helps to know what is happening around us【小题 2】When sound is turned into noise, ______________. A．people grow worse and worseB．it makes us forget all the pastC．people don’t know what to do with everyday lifeD．it will be a kind of pollution to people【小题 3】Why does the passage say peace and quiet are becoming harder to find? A．Because the world is making more and more noise.B．Because wars and battles happen here and there in the world.C．Because all the sounds are becoming over 140 decibels.D．Because some machines can make noise.【小题 4】Doctors say we can hear ourselves think __________. A．if we don’t like to hear noiseB．if we have no aches or pains in our bodiesC．if there isn’t too much noiseD．if we can’t be careful of noise91广东四会县 2017 高考英语一轮阅读理解基础训练（三）2016 高考训练--阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 Amy Pankratz spent a few nights in the hospital with her daughter, Isabella, who caught a bad flu. “Lying in bed beside Isabella, I could hear the cries of children in pain, ”says Amy. “It completely broke my heart. ”When Isabella was getting well and could leave her room, she wore her prized possession—a “superhero cape(短斗篷)”Amy had sewn to encourage her—and walked into the hallway. The pink cape was an instant hit with the other young patients, who were doing exercise around the nursing station. “Then, all the kids were taking turns wearing the cape, giggling, ”Amy says. “These were some of the same children I had heard crying the night before, and here they were playing and having fun—kids just being kids! ”From that moment on, Amy began making Comfort Capes for little ones battling with serious illnesses. “I felt God presenting an opportunity, ”she says. “I hoped Comfort Capes can help these kids feel brave, to lift some of the fear away. ”Since then, Amy has made and donated more than 5, 000 capes in the United States. Amy usually pays for materials herself, although she accepts donations.The capes she makes for kids in treatment are different from those her own children have. Before Amy starts to sew she learns what image or character the little boy or girl connects with. “ I choose the pattern, color and theme specially for each child,” explains Amy.When she is not sewing, Amy is raising awareness of childhood cancers and looking into ways to get Comfort Capes to more kids who need them, “ If a cape can help a child, even only for a moment, forget his illness, it’s worth the time spent sewing,” she says.1.What made Amy feel sad when she was staying with her daughter in the hospital?A. Her daughter’s serious illness. B. The cries of children in pain.C. The tiredness from sewing the cape. D. The illness of children in her daughter’s room.2.What purpose did Amy have when she began making Comfort Capes for sick children?A. To make them feel warm. B. To find friends for her daughter.C. To make them happy and fearless. D. To raise the awareness of children’s illness.3.According to the passage, we can get that the author’s attitude toward Amy’s behaviour 2is ________.A. indifferent B. neutral C. negative D. supportive 4. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Turning Sick Kids into Superheroes B. How to Treat the Sick ChildrenC. A Strong Mom Who Helps Others D.

After all, who would choose a plastic toy over a lovely puppy? But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it: “You don’t have to feed it, you don’t have to walk it, it won’t make a mess in your house, and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty.” The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets, short on space, or fearful of real animals.It’s not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studies do suggest that we can bond with these smart machines. People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories. It’s the same with robots. When Sony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2014, owners in Japan held funerals.As an animal welfare researcher, Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect our attitudes towards live animals. “If we become used to a robotic companion that doesn’t need food, water or exercises, perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings,” he said.So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault predicts? For those who grew up with living and breathing pets, the mechanical kind might not do. But for our next generation who are in constant touch with smart technology, a future in which lovely pets needn’t have a 3heartbeat might not be a far-fetched dream.【小题 1】What does the underlined phrase “sit well with” means? A．be refused by B．be beneficial toC．make a difference to D．receive support from【小题 2】What are the advantages of robot pets?a. They are plastic and feel smooth.b. Owners needn’t worry about them when going out.c. They can help cure allergies（过敏）.d. They save space and costs. A．ab B．bc C．bd D．cd【小题 3】We can learn from the passage that___________. A．Sony is the first company to produce robot pets Aibo.B．People can develop strong bond（联系、关系） with their robot pets.C．Rault thinks robot pets still have a long way to go.D．Robot toys may help people care more about living beings.【小题 4】The passage mainly tells us___________.

Similar changes in behavior have been observed in polar bears and yellow-eyed penguins in areas visited by colorists are producing smaller babies.Conservationists are now calling for more research into the effect of ecotourism on ani-mals and say the industry must be developed carefully.

The building—the country’s largest commercial and shopping complex—uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. The Eastgate’s owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning equipment didn’t have to be imported.The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glass-roofed atrium(天井) open to the air. Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents(通风口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys.During summer’s cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building, to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents.This is all possible only because Harare is 1600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature changes—days as warm as 31℃ commonly drop to 14℃ at night. “You couldn’t do this in New York, with its hot summers and cold winters,” Pearce said.The engineering firm of Ove Arup & Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23℃ and 25℃, with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is fresh—far more so than in air-conditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled.【小题 1】Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building? A．It was designed in a smaller size.B．No air conditioners were fixed in.C．Its heating system was less advanced.D．It used rather different building materials.【小题 2】What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．Hollow space.7B．Baseboard vent.C．Fresh air from outside.D．Heat in the building.【小题 3】Why would a building like Eastgate Not work efficiently in New York? A．New York has less clear skies as Harare.B．Its dampness affects the circulation of air.C．New York covers a larger area than Harare.D．Its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.【小题 4】The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgate’s temperature control system_____. A．works better in hot seasonsB．can recycle up to 30% of the airC．functions well for most of the yearD．allows a wide range of temperatures阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。【2014 高考英语仿真模拟试题】The pound new Library of Birmingham（LoB）will be the most visible sign of the way the city is accepting the digitalization（数字化）of everyday life.Set to open in 2013, the £188m LoB is already beginning to tale shape next to the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, with which it will share some equipment.As digital media（媒介）is important to its idea. the project is already providing chances for some of the many small new local companies working at the new technologies.Brian Gambles, the LoB project director, says it is about giving people the right tools for learning,“The aim is to mix the physical with the digital.
