四、阅读理解(共4题,共 20分)

24、Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience (耐力).

Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing, but as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing. In fact, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there at the top, can you see all of the nice things, just like in life.”

At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and confidence . I found myself standing at the top of the sky, which was as clear as crystal (水晶).

1The passage tells us that mountain-climbing was ________ for Father and Son.

A. hard B. enjoyable

C. painful   D. comfortable

2The word “quit” in the passage means “________”.

A. carry on B. put off

A. You will get all you need at the top of the mountain.

B. The sky is always as clear as crystal.

C. You can find life is full of nice things.

D. Never give up half-way.

4We can infer (推断) from the last paragraph that ________.

A. the writer was very successful in his life

B. the writer didn’t reach the top of the mountain

C. though the writer was young, he could understand his father

D. the writer used to stop half-way when he climbed the mountain

5The best title for the passage is“________”.

A. Reaching the Top of the Mountain

B. Enjoy the Beautiful Views

C. Conversations between Father and Son

D. Father and I

 

25、   Is It Better to Read Books or Listen to Them?

We often think how fast we learn something depends on how smart we are. If your brain is taking in material quickly, you’re clever; if not, well, that doesn’t say great things about your IQ. But science shows context (上下文) and technique (技术) actually play a big role in how fast we learn, and even small changes – like the way you use to read – can make a big difference.

Audio (音频的) books have plenty of advantages: you can enjoy them anywhere, even in the car, and not printing books saves trees. Poor readers also often find them more interesting. But according to the latest research, if your goal isn’t to pass the time in traffic, but instead to learn something difficult, you should choose a physical book.

In a recent opinion piece in the New York Times, psychology (心理学) professor Daniel T.Willingham mentioned a 2010 study where 48 students either read or listened to an article about child psychology. Although the students spent the same amount of time with their material and did about the same number of distracting (分散注意力) activities while they absorbed the information, they scored very differently on a 10-item quiz later. Generally, the readers scored 81 percent but while the listeners scored 59 percent. Why does listening vs reading material have such a great effect on learning?

Willingham explains that first, most of us read more slowly than we listen (especially when pausing and rereading), and when you’re trying to absorb new information, slower seems to be better. “About 10 to 15 percent of eye movements during reading are actually regressive – meaning the eyes are going back and re-checking,” he explains to TIME. “This happens very quickly…”

Second, books offer visual cues (可视线索) that help our brains organize and understand new information. Things like chapter breaks, subheadings, and lists help us in making sense of the material and understanding how it fits together. You lose all that when you go the audio way.

The bottom line is simple: Don’t feel shame about passing your time in traffic with an audio book. However, be aware of audio’s limitations when it comes to studying, and seriously consider choosing good old-fashioned reading instead.

1According to the writer, you should choose to read a book to ______.

A.take in the information B.pass the time in traffic

C.learn something difficult D.organize new information

2A “physical book” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.

A.an audio book B.a book about physics

C.a book about computer D.a book made of paper or cloth

3What can we learn from the passage?

A.To read a book is better than to listen to it.

B.Readers are cleverer than listeners.

C.Reading books is a good way to pass time.

D.How fast we learn depends on how smart we are.

26、

All animals need sleep. Some sleep a little. Others sleep a lot. Some sleep in surprising ways. Keep reading to learn more about how animals get their zzzz’s.

Some animals are light sleepers. Giraffes sleep for just a few hours each day. For giraffes, it is not safe to sleep much more than that. Giraffes have long, thin legs. When they lie down, it is hard to get back up. So giraffes mostly take short naps. They sleep standing up. Horses sleep standing up, too. Like giraffes, they need to be ready to run away. Horses do need to lie down for some of their sleep, though. Giraffes do, too. The animals get about 20 or 30 minutes of deep sleep while lying down.

Some animals are big sleepers. Koalas live in Australia. These animals eat only one food: leaves. Leaves do not give them much energy. So koalas sleep most of the time. They sleep for about 20 hours in total. Lions sleep a lot, too. They can feel safe while sleeping. After all, they are predators, which hunt other animals. Who would bother (打扰) a sleeping lion?

Dolphins are always swimming in the sea. So how do they sleep? If they stop swimming, will they drown (淹死)? Dolphins have a great trick for this. They sleep with half of their brains at a time, the other half stays awake. The sides switch (转换) after 20 minutes. Some birds sleep this way, too. They use half of their brains to fly, the other half goes to sleep. After the birds land, they sleep much more.

【1】“light sleepers” in the second paragraph refers to animals that ________.

A.sleep much

B.sleep a little

C.sleep with half brain

D.sleep without lying down

【2】Why do horses sleep standing up?

A.Because they are short of energy.

B.Because they can’t lie down.

C.Because they need to stay safe.

D.Because they sleep with half brains.

【3】What does the underlined word “predators” probably mean in Chinese?

A.捕食者

B.掠夺者

C.贪睡者

D.受害者

【4】Which animals are half sleepers?

A.Koalas.

B.Giraffes.

C.Lions.

D.Dolphins.

【5】Which is the best title for the passage?

A.Sleeping helps animals stay safe.

B.All animals need lots of sleep.

C.Animals sleep in different ways.

D.Animals rest well while sleeping.

27、   Public schools across the country have been on a health look since 2010. Thanks to a new law, students said goodbye to unhealthy food and hello to better eating habits in school. They also have been exercising more during the school day.

It's up to schools to decide how they follow the law. Many places require schools to provide healthy choices for lunch. In Tennessee, most schools removed(移除)sugary snacks and soft drinks from vending machines(自动贩卖机). Instead of them, there are more nutritious(有营养的)choices, such as granola bars, nuts, water, and juice.

In Florida, Missouri, and Texas, some schools have rules that ban(禁止)desserts such as cupcakes and lollipops from parties. Instead, school officials encourage teachers and parents to provide more nutritious food.

To get kids to exercise more, the northwestern Minnesota district of Perham Dent added more physical activity to the school day. Many schools also make sure that kids have break every day.

The goals of the law are to improve good health and to reduce obesity(肥胖). Obesity is the condition of being very overweight. Being obese can lead to serious health problems later in life. Experts say the number of children aged 6-11 years old who were obese more than doubled from 1980 to 2012, and the number of obese young people aged 12-19 years old have increased 4 times in the same time period.

“We know that adults who are very overweight get sick more often and lose time at work.” Julia Lear, the director of the Center for Health and Health Care in Schools, told WR News. “The best thing to do is to get kids in the habit of getting lots of exercise and eating healthy meals.”

1What is the new law about?

A.Study habit B.Test score.

C.Health problem. D.School environment.

2What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.New laws. B.School cafeterias.

C.Sugary snacks and soft drinks. D.Granola bars, nuts, water, and juice.

3Which of the following is TRUE?

A.Schools must make the same rules to follow the new law.

B.Most schools in Tennessee no longer sell soft drinks in their vending machines.

C.Parents are encouraged to provide more cupcakes for kids in some schools in Texas.

D.The number of kids aged 6-11 who were obese became smaller from 1980 to 2012.

4What can obesity cause according to the passage?

A.Hair loss. B.Stomachache.

C.Hearing loss. D.Getting sick more often.
