【题目】阅读理解

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Although I started learning English during my college years, when I entered the States, I only understood two English words “Yes” and “No”. We learned many grammar rules but we could not make the language connections to the real English world. Language frustration worries almost all first-generation immigrants. For example, I got a letter from a Chinese-American who has lived in the States for a long time and has a good IT job saying “My 11-year-old girl writes quite well, but as her parents, we could not even read her article.” In addition, my Chinese-American professor friend has difficulty reading a novel. Improving our English skills has become a long journey for all of us. Honestly, if I have a chance, I really want to reach out to everyone in the world who has had a similar experience: learning a second language in adulthood. I wish I could encourage them to speak out about the culture shock, frustration they felt about the differences between West and East.

I have mainly focused on my English writing since 2008 after I found “Literacy Volunteers”, an organization that specially focuses on helping immigrants improve their English. I decided to challenge myself, writing a story like an American. I saw many wonderful Americans there. As soon as I met my teacher Alice, I asked her to be my private language tutor and have taken Tim’s English class. Every week Alice and I have worked on my English essays sentence by sentence.

To observe the culture differences between West and East, occasionally, I posted a few of my English essays online. I mentioned previously about American culture; when people read the same article or even face the same situation, American and Chinese act very differently. In my viewpoint, these differences make America the strongest country in the world. I know you have the right to express your own opinions, but accusing others without proof is not acceptable.

【1】What does the underlined word “frustration” in the first paragraph mean?

A. Failure and Setbacks B. Words and Problems

C. Understanding and Progress D. Slang and Idioms

【2】In the passage, “Literacy Volunteers” is .

A. of great use to people like the author

B. a school showing how to enjoy literature

C. only intended to help the Chinese-Americans

D. an organization which is set up to make a profit

【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Americans and Chinese are of the same idea about something.

B. Culture shock only exists between Chinese and Americans.

C. Accusing others freely can be acceptable in America.

D. Culture differences have great influence on the people.

【4】What’s the purpose of the passage ?

A. To show how hard a Chinese-American life in America.

B. To share her experience of improving her English.

C. To imply grammar rules are not important.

D. To warn Chinese-Americans of English.

【答案】

【1】A

【2】A

【3】D

【4】B

【解析】作者介绍了自己学英语的经历,一开始就只是会说简单的YES,NO到后来开始用英语写作,作者的经历让每个人都值得学习。

【1】A 考查推理判断。根据原文Language frustration worries almost all first generation immigrants以及上文,作者的英语是很差的,只会说几句单词,所以选择A。

【2】A 考查细节理解。根据文章Literacy Volunteers”, an organization that specially focuses on helping immigrants improve their English.可以选出A项。

【3】D 考查细节理解。To observe the culture differences between West and East, occasionally, I posted a few of my English essays online. I mentioned previously about American culture; when people read the same article or even face the same situation, American and Chinese act very differently.由于两国文化的差异,两国表现出来的态度也就不一,所以选择D。

【4】B 考查主旨要义。作者的写作就是以自己的亲身经历为背景,讲述了自己提高英语的过程,所以选B。

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Annie slept in the front of the seat with her father drove through the darkness. “We’re almost there!” Dad announced cheerfully. “Soon well be observing and counting owls at the state park.” Yawning, Annie nodded and smiled. The time was 4:30 a.m. Looking out into the darkness, Annie remembered learning in school that most owls are active at night, when they hunt for food. During the day, they sleep in hard-to-find spots.

“Dad, why do you need to count owls?” she asked. “It’s important for the scientists to have current information about bird populations,” he explained. “We want to know which birds have decreased in number and whether any new kinds of birds are coming into a certain area. You and I will write down the kinds of birds that we see today and keep a record of how many times we see each kind. The we’ll send out a report to a scientific organization that is collecting about birds from people all over the county.”

Dad pulled into the parking lot of the state park. Then, with flashing in hand, they began their hike into the woods. Annie zipped up her coat and tried to keep from trembling. She had not expected the morning to be so frigid. Luckily her gloves were in her pocket.

Suddenly Annie’s father stooped and gestured for her to be still. Obeying, Annie did not take another step. She thought she heard a low crying up head. “That’s certainly a screech owl,” her father whispered. “Let’s get a look at it.” After looking more closely, Annie could see that it was a small owl. Sensing danger, the owl narrowed its eyes and pulled its feathers tightly against its body. Annie carefully wrote down in her notebook that they had seen a screech owl.

Walking a little farther, they came to a tall oak tree. “This looks like a perfect spot to attract owls,” Dad said. “I’m going to play a recording of common call of the barred owl. Maybe we can get one to answer.’ Annie could hardly believe her ear. The recorded all sounded as if the bird were asking, “who cooks for you?” Moments later Annie thought she heard a return call in distance. She held her breath and waited. Suddenly a huge bird landed very quietly on a branch above them.

Annie had long forgotten how cold it was. She stood in wonder, shining her flashlight on the bird and studying it carefully. The barred owl was nearly two feet tall. Gray feathers surrounded its dark eyes. The bird did not matter. Annie would never forget the image of the powerful barred owl.

【1】Why did Annie and her father go to the state park to ?

A. To catch owls.

B. To collect information about owls.

C. To record the call of owls and feed them.

D. To carry out an experiment on owls and study.

【2】Annie could study the barren owl carefully with the help of ________.

A. scientists

B. moonlight

C. flashlight

D. a recorder

【3】How did Annie feel when she saw the barren owl?

A. Bored.

B. Relaxed.

C. Frightened.

D. Amazed.

【4】What would be the best title?

A. The Owl Count.

B. A Study on Owls.

C. Observation of Birds.

D. A Cheerful Early Morning.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Being physically active three times a week reduces the odds of being depressed by about 16%, according to new UCL research carried out as part of the Public Health Research Center.

The study, published in JAMA Psychiatry, found a two-way relationship between depression and physical activity. People who increased their weekly activity reported fewer depressive symptoms but those with more depressive symptoms were less active, particularly at younger ages.

Researchers followed 11,135 people born in 1958 up until the age of 50, recording depressive symptoms and levels of physical activity at regular intervals in adulthood. They found that each additional activity period per week reduced odds of depression by 6%. In England 19% of men and 26% of women are currently classed as “inactive”, and this study suggests that activity could significantly improve their mental as well as physical health.

“Assuming the association is causal, physical activity has a protective effect against depression. If an adult between their twenties and forties who isn’t physically active became active 3 times per week, they would reduce their risks of depression by about 16%.” says Dr. Snehal of the UCL Institute of Child Health, lead author of the study.

Professor Mark, Director of the Public Health Research Center, said, “Many people are already aware of the benefits of physical activity on their general health, but now we are seeing more evidence that suggest it also has a positive effect on a person’s mental well-being. The latest research highlights just how important it is to ensure that people are working and living in environments that allow them to be both physically active and mentally healthy.”

【1】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To tell us a fun story about how to protect us against depression.

B. To introduce a research on the link between activity and depression.

C. To persuade readers to increase their weekly activity.

D. To describe the disadvantages of physical activity.

【2】According to the second paragraph, if people increase their weekly activity, ______.

A. their depressive symptoms will be fewer

B. their depressive symptoms will be more

C. they will become much younger

D. they will become more depressive

【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Dr. Snehal thinks it important to be both physically and mentally healthy.

B. The research shows men are more active in physical activities than women.

C. Adults who insist on physical activity will reduce depression completely.

D. Increasing physical activities can free people from depression in a way.

【4】The author shows his view mainly by_______.

A. doing research

B. comparing and contrasting

C. trying on himself

D. discussing and summarizing
