It is a living cloud made of billions of locusts that are traveling across the continent eating everything in their path.And in the battle to stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts. The radio station is in one of Senegals worst affected regions.This is West Africas biggest locust disaster in 15 years, and it is moving east, causing huge damage to crops. As they move, they breed, and increase their number and will soon threaten Sudan in the northeast of Africa. Some say it could reach Asia.Experts say the great damage to crops in areas already suffering from food shortages and war could cause many people to go hungry. Governments in the region are not well equipped to fight the pest.Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough. “We are now treating 6,000 hectares per day with pesticide, but we need to treat 20,000 hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster,” said Mohamed Abdallahi Ould Babah, director of locust control in Mauritania.Requests are being made for international aid, which is the only way to limit the crisis, the UNs Food and Agriculture Organization warned.1.

Often parents prepare lunches on_the_basis_of what their children want.Cathy，a mother of three children，told us，“My children have packed lunches，because they say they hate school dinners.I make 3 packed lunches every morning，so were like a sandwich bar in our kitchen in the morning.” However，another mother，Susan，made her choice based on the nutritious(有营养的)value of the food.She said，“My daughter always has school dinners.I think she probably gets healthier food by having a cooked lunch at school than she would if I made sandwiches.”But how healthy are school dinners？Kaz，a father，wasnt impressed with them.“Fizzy(有泡沫的)drinks were offered and I think there were a lot of chips.” The question of how healthy school food is was brought to Jamie Oliver，who launched a campaign to improve childrens nutrition，after spending a year working in a school kitchen.The TV series about the campaign won an award this week.He was worried about the junk food he saw being served，which included burgers，pizza and chips.He decided to ban the junk，and started cooking good stews (炖菜)and curries for the children instead. Jamie improved the school dinners in that particular school，and trained the dinner ladies to cook healthy food.Then he put pressure on the government to improve the standards of school food across the country.And it looks as if the changes have begun.1What would be the best title for the passage?ASchool Dinners BHealthy FoodCDinners in the UK DResearch on Dinners答案：A标题概括题。全文围绕学校午餐展开，先是对比介绍了学校午餐与自带午餐的情况，接着质疑学校午餐是否有益健康，最后介绍了Jamie所发起的改善校园午餐的运动。所以选A项。2The underlined phrase“on the basis of”in Paragraph 2 probably means“_”Ain spite of Baccording toCas well as Dfor the good of答案：B词义猜测题。根据后面的例子可以推出第一句的句意：父母通常根据孩子们的要求准备午餐。on the basis of“基于，根据”，与according to意思相近。3Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AStews are healthy food.BCathys children like school lunch.CJamie Oliver works in a school kitchen.DIn Britain，all children have their lunch at school.答案：A细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知，Jamie禁止了垃圾食品，用炖菜和咖喱类饭菜作为孩子的午餐，由此可推知炖菜和咖喱类饭菜是健康食品，故选A项。4What can we learn from the passage?ANone of the parents in Britain like school food.BFizzy drinks and chips are good for childrens health.CMost schools in the UK offer healthy lunch to students.DSusan chooses food for her daughter according to its nutrition.答案：D细节理解题。由第三段第一句可知，Susan根据食物的营养来给女儿准备午餐。故选D项。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。When was the last time someone did something unexpectedly nice for you？Not someone you knew，but a total stranger？Its happened to me a few times，but two instances really stand out.A few years ago，I was dining out with a person who kept going on and on about himself，completely oblivious to the fact that I was sitting there in misery.It wasnt his company that disappointed me.I was recovering from a broken heart，and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship.I could have collapsed in tears right there at the table.When we picked up the check，the waitress said，“Your meal was already paid for.”My friend and I didnt have a clue how it happened.Then I remembered a man coming in out of the corner of my eye.He was dressed in mostly white，sat down at the bar，had a glass of wine，stayed for maybe ten minutes，and then left.The waitress said，“Yes，the gentleman who was in here a while ago paid for you.”Just last year，I was running a halfmarathon.With just 0.1 mile to go，I was out of breath. Runners call it“hitting the wall”；I thought I couldnt move another muscle .Out of nowhere，a teenager jogs up next to me and says，“Whats your name，sweetie？Jennifer？Okay，Jennifer，lets go！Come on! Its just around the corner！You can do it！”And he ran with me until I picked up my pace. I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasnt even supposed to be in the race that day. He was running in place of someone else.I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need. Do you have any experiences like this?1Which of the following is the best title for the passage?AThe Kindness of StrangersBAn Unpleasant CompanionCTwo Special ExperiencesDHitting the Wall答案：A推理推断题。文章第一段便是文章的主题，句中的something unexpectedly nice for you则说明了作者想在下文中谈的内容，由此可知答案选A项。其他几个选项，则是文中的细节部分。2Why did the author say he was in misery?ABecause he couldnt enjoy his meal.BBecause he fell into conflict with his companion.CBecause his companion talked a lot.DBecause he was then disappointed in love.答案：D细节理解题。作者谈到自己坐在那里痛苦的样子，后面提到了痛苦的原因是“I was recovering from a broken heart(刚刚失恋了).”，由此可知答案D项正确。3What do you think of the man paying for the meal?AHe showed his kindness for his former girlfriend.BHe is an acquaintance to the two persons.CHe is generous and warmhearted to others.DHe enjoys making fun of others by doing that.答案：C推理判断题。文中讲述的是陌生人的帮助，由此排除A、B两项；作者只谈了这位陌生人帮他们付了账单，并没有说陌生人如何捉弄他们，因此排除D项；帮助不认识的人付账单，说明了这位陌生人的慷慨和热心，由此可知C项正确。4How did the teenager help the author?AHe gave the author a glass of water.BHe gave the author orders firmly.CHe ran after the author.DHe ran with the author.答案：D推理判断题。根据第四段的“And he ran with me until I picked up my pace.”可知，这位年轻人陪着作者跑了一段时间，直到作者加快了脚步，由此可知D项符合文意。5What can we infer from the last paragraph?AThe author still believes his experience today.BThe author feels grateful for the help he received.CThe author thinks everyone is an angel.DThe author often gets help expectedly.答案：B推理判断题。根据文章前面的叙述可知，作者对别人给予的帮助充满感激，认为帮助过他的两位都是天使级人物，所以选B项。【2016届石家庄市高中毕业班质量检测（二）试题】阅读理解。阅读下面短文，选择最佳答案填空。DIf you watch British television on March 15, you might be surprised to see celebrities (名人) wearing funny red noses and joking around. But dont worry. Theyre not mad. Its all part of a money raising event called Red Nose Day.Founded in 1985 by two British comedians, the aim of the event is to raise money to fight poverty and injustice in the UK and Africa. Celebrities and public figures support the event by making appearances on comic TV shows. For example, UK Prime Minister David Cameron once appeared in a music video by One Direction, which the band produced for the event.Britons dont just raise money for charitable causes on one day a year, but they do it all year round. One way of doing so is by shopping in charity shops. These small shops sell clothes, books and household goods just like any other shop except that its all secondhand.There are nearly 10,000 charity shops in the UK. Their business model is simple: Anybody who has things they dont want anymore can donate them to a charity shop, where they are checked for damage, cleaned and priced. The money that is made by selling them is used for a charitable cause.The idea of buying used clothes may sound unpleasant, but for shoppers who have less spending money, it has been a welcome option. Now, shopping at charity shops is also becoming popular with young people looking for alternative fashion. “You can find very unique clothes for a very cheap price. It doesnt bother me that other people may have worn them, I simply wash them before I wear them,” said Anne Marie, a 19-year-old from the US.So next time you spot a charity shop, why not go inside? Who knows, you might find a lovely dress for just a few pounds. Even better, you can enjoy wearing it in the knowledge that your money helped a good cause. 1. Why did Cameron appear in One Directions music video?A. To earn a living.B. To support the band.C. To help raising money.D. To entertain the audience.2. Where are the goods of charity shops from?A. Local bands.B. Peoples donation.C. British comedians.D. The UK government.3. Whats Anne Maries attitude to charity shops?A. Favorable. B. Particular.C. Doubtful.D. Disapproving.4. What is the text mainly about?A. Red Nose Day.B. British celebrities.C. Charity in Britain.D. Secondhand shops.参考答案、14、CBAC【2016年沈阳市高中三年级教学质量监测（一）】阅读理解。阅读下面短文，选择最佳答案填空。ABritish International Schools in ChinaHarrow International School BeijingThe mission statement of the school is “Leadership for a better world”, which draws on the great tradition of famous leaders studying in Harrow School such as Winston Churchill and Pundit Nehru.
