阅读训练一 Do you still remember the terrible earthquake in ‎2008 in Sichuan, which killed at least 87,000 people and left millions homeless? On the twelfth day after the earthquake, Premier Wen Jiabao said, “A new Wenchuan will rise from the ruins（废墟）.” Now his words have come true. Four years has passed and the worst-hit areas in Sichuan have risen from the ruins. ‎ ‎ So far, 95% of the reconstruction projects（重建项目）have been completed. Nearly 3,000 schools, 1,000 hospitals and more than 5 million homes have been built. Now everyone has been provided（提供） with a home, a job and social security.‎ Dong Xinjun, a villager in Qingchuan, said volunteers from Zhejiang taught him how to grow mushrooms and now he makes about 3,000 yuan more than before every year. ‎ Zhu Lihu, the headmaster of a village primary school in Qingchuan, told us that teaching equipment had been greatly improved. Now they have new classrooms, a library and a computer room with 20 computers.‎ On May 8th, 2019, Premier Wen Jiabao made his 10th visit to Sichuan‎ ‎Province after the earthquake. He visited a lot of middle schools and neighborhoods. At Beichuan‎ ‎Middle School, Premier Wen embraced a student named Zheng Haiyang, who lost both of his legs in the earthquake. The students told Premier Wen that their new school was very beautiful. And they would never forget that it was built with the hearts and strength of people across the whole country.‎ ‎ Premier Wen believes that the people in Wenchuan have a “strong will” and a “bright future”. They will never back down, but stand bravely on this land.‎ ‎53. What is NOT provided for everyone in the earthquake-hit areas? ‎ ‎ A. A home. B. A job. C. A computer. D.Social security.‎ ‎54.

I’d never had any interest in driving schoolchildren to and from school, but 10 years later, I was still working on the school bus.‎ There are so many good reasons why I stayed. Firstly, it was the conversations that brought me different kinds of information. I also got to hear all the family secrets of the newcomers who were afraid to be starting at a new school. I have a toy bear who was a great comforter for the little ones. The kids got to look after him on the trip to school and he waited patiently for them to get on for the trip home.‎ Our bus would often pass a place where we could see some alpacas (羊驼) in front of a farm house. Little Michael would cry excitedly from the seat, “Look, Miss! Look at the camels!” He ‎ used to put his head out of the bus window. When I warned him that a fly would come into his nose if he wasn’t careful, he smartly gave up the habit.‎ I remember a little girl got on the bus one morning 5 years ago and cried loudly all the way to school. We arrived at the school gate. As she waited to get down the bus stairs, she threw her arms around my neck and sobbed (抽泣) that her grandfather had died the night before.‎ A school bus driver needs to keep one eye on the road and the other on the mirror to watch what the little ones are doing down the back. My catchphrase (口头禅) each day was that I was “taking the monsters (怪兽) to their mothers”.‎ Now, it’s necessary to think how many lives I’ve been responsible for throughout the years, and how many kilometers I’ve driven in order to get my passengers home safely. I’ve enjoyed it, but after 20 years, it’s time to rest and park my school bus for good. Long live the school bus driver!‎ ‎53. When did the writer begin to be a school bus driver?‎ A. 5 years ago.

She decides to give up the job. B. She tries to go on driving.‎ C. She wants to have a holiday. D. She hopes to have more kids.‎ 阅读训练三 Florida school children chose the panther as the state animal. ‎ What is the Florida panther?‎ Florida‎ panthers are a type of mountain lion. The Florida panther is the only group of mountain lions east of the Mississippi River. The panther stands for beauty and power of life.‎ Is the Florida panther endangered?‎ In 1967 the government listed the Florida panther as endangered. Endangered means that without human help an animal or plant will become extinct. Extinct means that the animal or plant will never again stay alive on earth.‎ What do Florida panthers look like?‎ Panthers are about 10 times as big as a housecat. Like all cats they have very sharp claws and teeth. They need sharp claws and teeth to kill and eat their food. Florida panthers are tawny (the same color as deer). The fur on their bellies and the inside of their legs is lighter, and the fur on their backs, tails, and legs is darker. These are Florida panther paw prints:‎ Front paw Length: 3 inches Width: 3.5 inches Hind paw Length: 3 inches Width: 3 inches What do Florida panthers eat?‎ Panthers only eat meat. Panthers eat deer, wild hogs, raccoons, armadillos, and rabbits. Sometimes they eat birds and even alligators. No panther has ever even killed a person.‎ What kinds of families do panthers have?‎ Panther females and kittens make up the panther family. The father does not help take care of the kittens. Panthers may have from 1 to 4 kittens. Panthers leave their mothers when they are about 2 years old. Growing up is harder for boy panthers than girl panthers. Girls often stay near their mother. Boys must try to find a home range of their own.‎ Where do Florida panthers live?‎ Panthers need lots of land. The area where a panther hunts is its home range. They prefer hardwood hammocks and pine forest with lots of palmettos for their range. Panthers usually rest during the day hidden in thickets of palmetto. At dusk they begin to travel and hunt. Unless you are very lucky, you will probably never see a panther in the wild. But you can help them by protecting the lands they need to keep alive. You can support efforts to recover the panther from being endangered.‎ ‎53. Which of the following looks like the panther most? ‎ ‎ A. B. C. D.‎ ‎54.

He is on the rush for news all the time, then after several years he may get a desk job, and life becomes a bit more settled. Let’s look at his work a little more closely. In a day he may have to interview the president of a foreign country, and the next day he may be writing about a football match. Sometimes he may be so busy that he has hardly any time to sleep. And at other times he may go on for days looking out for news materials yet return empty-handed.‎ ‎　　In the beginning, a reporter has to cover a very wide field. After the early years he becomes more specialized in his work. For example, he may finally be asked to write only politics or sports. Some reporters may become so specialized that they are asked only to write on a special thing: horse racing, for example. In most newspaper houses there is at least one special racing correspondent(通讯记者、特派员). Some newspapers have book reviews. Their job is to make people pleasant. They read the latest book and then write reviews on the ones they like. Then there are those who write on films, so they get to see them even before they are shown in the cinema. How lucky, you would say!‎ ‎　　A reporter’s job can also be very dangerous. A number of them have died rushing from one task to another, and if there is a flood or a riot(暴乱) they may get hurt or even be killed. Three years ago there was a reporter whose camera was destroyed by a group of men, because they were angry with him for taking their picture. Dangerous or not, one thing is certain, and that is, their job is never boring!‎ ‎53.

Many join organizations run (管理) by their governments, for example, the Peace Corps in the United States and Voluntary Service Overseas in Britain. Since the powerful (猛烈的) earthquake took place in Sichuan, more than 200 thousand volunteers across China have been helping there! They do all kinds of work or come up with ways to help improve life. Some offer their professional skills for free. Others have no qualifications (资历), but they love to work hard to help.‎ One of the most famous volunteers in the world was Mother Teresa. She could be the best volunteer because she gave her life to helping the poorest people of Calcutta. She helped the homeless, cared for the sick, gave out food, and became the mother of those without families.‎ Now more and more teenagers actively look for volunteering opportunities, too. They volunteer because they think it will be fun or they will learn something. They also like the idea of being helpful to others, even if it is just handing out books for the teacher. As they get older, these reasons are still the same, but there are other important reasons for volunteering such as learning on-the-job, getting work experience, and improving their social life.‎ All volunteers bring joy to the people they help in so many ways. They might read books to the blind, fix up broken homes, find ways to get water for villages. Could you be a volunteer? What kind of volunteer work could you do? There is someone in the world who needs you. ‎ ‎53. The Peace Corps is in the United States. ‎ A. a city B. an organization C. a volunteer D. a school ‎54.

I also love my computer, as it stores all of my writing and thoughts. Though I love these devices(装置) of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from them and truly communicate with others.‎ I teach history in a high school. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes(主题) and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and share their ideas with each other in the classroom. I have a rule---no computers, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule before class, some of them were not happy at all.‎ Most students think that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students believe that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.‎ The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations. Interruptions(打断) by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want ‎ students to dig deep within themselves for ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and the class discussion.‎ I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and students realize that with deep conversation, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.‎ I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.‎ ‎53. What’s the second paragraph mainly about? ‎ ‎ A. The reasons why students should use computers or iPads in class. ‎ ‎ B. The advantages of using cell phones and computers in the classroom. ‎ ‎ C. What the writer is trying to do and what rule has been made in class. ‎ ‎ D. A new learning style that the teacher enjoys using in history class.‎ ‎54. According to the writer, the use of technology in the classroom may _____. ‎ ‎ A. improve teaching and offer more help ‎ ‎ B. allow students to get on well with each other ‎ ‎ C. help students concentrate on what they learn ‎ D. keep students from making deep conversations ‎55. What can we infer from the passage? ‎ ‎ A. The teacher will carry on the success in the future.‎ ‎ B. The teacher will have to cancel the rule in class.‎ ‎ C. Some students will be punished according to the rule.‎ ‎ D. More and more students will be absent in history class.‎ 阅读训练八 There’s a lot of focus on trans fats(反式脂肪) these days. We read about it in the news, and there’s talk of passing laws against trans fats. We are bombarded with the word. Unfortunately, most people don’t know that trans fats truly are and why they are so bad for us. A lot of food production companies want to get your dollars by printing “Trans Fat Free” on their label(标签). Sadly, they may not be telling the truth.‎ So what is a trans fats really? A trans fat is a liquid(液体)fat that is turned into solid. Although there is a very small amount of natural trans fats in meal and dairy products, most of them are created by adding hydrogen to light fat. Food-makers do this because it makes the products last longer on the shelf. Have you ever wondered why cookies can still be crispy and “tasty” after six months to a year on a store shelf? It’s because of trans fats. Trans fats are typically found in things like donuts, French fries, cookies, microwave popcorn, and potato chips.‎ Why are trans fats bad for you? Trans fats raise the bad cholesterol(胆固醇) in your body and lower the good cholesterol that the body needs. Fatty foods do cause overweight. Trans fats build up in the body and block book flow to the heart. People whose diet contains a high percentage of trans fats are at risk of heart disease and stroke.‎ Why can the food-makers label trans fats free when it isn’t? Because of the way the nutrition labeling laws work, the FDA(Food and Drug Administration) has allowed that if a food has less than 0.5 grams per serving (一份) it can be classified as trans fats free. Read the label and you may discover that the package actually contains 6 servings, and if you just are three of them, you might have eaten 1.49 grams of trans fats.‎ Besides, in most fast food restaurants, ingredient and nutrition information are not listed. You may be shocked if you know what you are eating. An article in Men’s Health magazine pointed that in KFC, hydrogenated(氢化的) oils appeared 91 times among the ingredients from the menu list. ‎ How do you really know if there are trans fats in the food you are eating? One way to truly ‎ understand what you are eating is to read the label. Another is to understand your ingredients. Anything on the label that says hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated, even if the package says “Trans Fats Free”, has trans fats in it. You had better not buy that product. Make a different choice, a choice for your health.‎ ‎53. The expression “are bombarded with” in Paragraph 1 probably means ‎ A. are tired of B. hear much of C. are connected with D. know clearly about ‎54. Which of the following is true according to the passage? ‎ A. Trans fats can make food last long and keep people fit.‎ B. Food-makers use trans fats because they make food delicious C. The amount of trans fats in food is clearly written on the label D. Trans fats can be found in the food with package saying trans fat free.‎ ‎55. What can be the best title for the passage? ‎ A. Danger of Eating Trans Fats Food B. Truths and Facts about Trans Facts C. Buy Trans Fats Free Products Now! D. Don’t Eat in Fast Food Restaurant!‎ 答案 阅读训练一CDA 阅读训练二CBA 阅读训练三DABC 阅读训练四DBA 阅读训练五BAB 阅读训练六BDAC 阅读训练七CDA 阅读训练八BDB
