you have fresh garlic. as garlic ages, the skin is gradually dried-up, making it easier to peel. 1. the passage is mainly about. a. how to select, store and peel garlic b. what garlic tastes and smellsc. where to keep the garlic d. when to reap the garlic2. a dark patch under the skin of garlic means. a. the cloves of garlic are soft b. the garlic has been kept for longc. something wrong with the garlic d. the garlic has been cooked3. the underlined word “sprouts” means. a. new parts growing on a plant b. newly seeds growing on a plant c. parts belonging to a branching shape d. thin skin attached to garlic4. if you want to store garlic, . a. you can keep it in the refrigerator up to three monthsb. youd better keep the peeled in the refrigeratorc. you may keep frozen unpeeled garlicd. you can put garlic in vegetable oil5. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. the sprouts of garlic tastes like chives. b. garlic juice is better than the freshly-peeled. c. a cutting board is helpful for peeling garlic. d. olive oil is needed when cooking garlic. 【参考答案】15、acabc 2016高考训练题。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。【题文】cfor a while, my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers(慢跑者). they were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. there were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “come on!” my friend alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “youll feel great.” well, i had nothing against feeling great and if alex could jog every day, anyone could. so i took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army, im not alone in my opinion. first of all, jogging is very hard on the body. your legs and feet take a real pounding（重击）running down a road for two or three miles. i developed foot, leg, and back problems. then i read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and i had something else to worry about. jogging doesnt kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me. secondly, i got no enjoyment out of jogging. putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isnt my idea of fun. jogging is also a lonely pastime. some joggers say, “i love being out there with just my thoughts.” well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt. and how could i enjoy something that brought me pain? and that wasnt just the first week;it was practically every day for two months. i never got past the pain level, and pain isnt fun. what a cruel way to do it! so many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog? i dont jog any more, and i dont think i ever will. im walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. i bicycle to work when the weather is good. im getting exercise, and im enjoying it at the same time. i could never say the same for jogging, and ive found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.1. the underlined word “them”(paragraph 3) most probably refers to _.a. heart attacks b. back problems c. famous joggers d. physical weaknesses2. what was the writers attitude towards jogging in the beginning?a. he felt it was worth a try. b. he was very fond of it.c. he was strongly against it. d. he thought it must be painful.3. why did the writer give up jogging two months later?a. he disliked doing exercise outside. b. he found it neither healthy nor interesting.c. he was afraid of having a heart attack. d. he was worried about being left alone.4. from the writers experience, we can conclude that_.a. not everyone enjoys jogging b. he is the only person who hates joggingc. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fitd. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport参考答案14、 d a b a 阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d) 中, 选出最佳选项。get your degree at home!have you ever wondered what a degree might be worth to you in your job or career(事业)? it means a lot of americans with an associate degree average nearly $10,000 more in yearly earnings than those with just a high school diploma(毕业证).harcourt learning direct offers you a way to get a specialized associate degree in 11 of todays growing fields-without having to go to college full time. with harcourt, you study at home, in your spare time-so you dont have to give up your present job while you train for a better one. choose from exciting majors like business management, accounting, dressmaking design, bookkeeping, photography, computer science, engineering, and more!
