This was the scene in Zhu Zhou，Hunan Province on May 17. Nine people were killed and 16 injured. Things were similar in the Sichuan earthquake. Thousands of people were buried in the ruins and lost their lives. What if we could have warned them? People are always racking their wits to find a way of preventing buildings collapse. Better materials and technology help，but they are not a solution.Just like humans，a building has its own life cycle from “birth” to “death”If we know when a building is going to collapse，we can repair it in advance or get out of it before it falls. Now，scientists at the University of Illinois have developed a material that turns red before it breaks. The invention could be used in things like climbing ropes or bridge supports. The research was led by Nancy Sottos，a professor at the universitys Beckman Institute，and Douglas Davis，a graduate research assistant.The secret behind the colorchanging material is a type of molecule (分子)A molecule is a group of atoms held together by chemical bonds. Imagine you and your friends standing in a circle，holding hands. Each person stands for one atom，your hands represent the bonds，and the entire circle represents a molecule. If one person lets go of his or her hands，the molecule changes color. The research team put the molecule into a soft material. When the researchers stretched the material，it turned bright red for a few seconds before it broke into two pieces. When they repeatedly stretched and relaxed the material，without breaking it，it only turned a little red. The major problem is that light can get rid of the red color. When the team shone bright light on the molecule，the broken bond was fixed，and the color disappeared. Scientists have yet to do more research before the colorchanging molecules can be used outside the lab.32. What does the passage mainly introduce?A. The collapse of a large building in Zhu Zhou, Hunan Province.B. A type of molecule that can be put into a soft materialC. A material that turns red before it breaks.D. A way of preventing building from collapsing.33. The underlined words “racking their wits” in the third paragraph mean _.A. suffering a lot B. collecting beyond imaginationC. losing a lot D. thinking very hard34. Which of the following is a WRONG statement?A. Thousands of people died from the collapse of buildings in the Sichuan earthquake because they hadnt been warned.B. There is no building that will never collapse.C. A new material has been applied to buildings to warn people of collapse.D. A colorchanging material can turn red before it breaks.35. What can we infer from the passage?A. The colorchanging molecules are certain to be used outside the lab.B. There will be less collapse with the help of the colorchanging material.C. The bright light may make the materials warning system useless. D. The problem caused by bright light will be solved by scientists soon.参考答案3235、CDCC2016高考训练-阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。The U.S. government is facing an increasing bother. Wild pigs, at their worst, can damage crops, spread diseases, attack humans and kill farm animals. And things are getting worse: a study shows that they are likely to double in number over the next 3 years. Why is it so hard to control wild pigs? Introduced to America in the 16th century, and related to the wild pigs found in Europe, wild pigs can be found in 75% of all states. No single law exists to control them and regulations differ between states: while in Missouri they can only be shot if met by chance, in Texas hunting is actively encouraged; a “pork chopper” law allows Texan hunters to shoot wild pigs from helicopters, and some people in Louisiana have even built their own pighunting drone(无人机). As well as being popular with hunters, wild pigs are cheaper for game raisers to breed(饲养)than deer. In Michigan and Pennsylvania suggested bans on the private breeding of pigs for hunting have caused quarrels between game raisers and wildlife officials. Wild pigs double natureconsidered pests by farmers, but valued by huntersmakes it hard to pass laws to control them. Two other factors also contribute. Nearly 70% of land in America is privately owned. And it is difficult for lawmakers to force breeding and hunting laws on private landowners. Secondly, it is hard to define a wild pig.In some states, laws are being introduced to redefine the term “wild animal” to keep out wild pigs. This is good news for those raising pigs for hunting, but less are to those who consider them pests whose number should be limited. Meanwhile, discussions continue over how to deal with this problem.28. People are not permitted to hunt wild pigs freely in _.A. TexasB. Michigan C. MissouriD. Louisiana29. Why do the game raisers prefer raising wild pigs to deer?A. Its difficult to raise deer.B. Wild pigs are in large numbers.C. Deer are not popular with hunters.D. They can benefit more from wild pigs.30. Which is NOT the reason for the difficulty in controlling wild pigs?A. The difficulty of passing effective laws.B. The high percentage of land owned privately.C. The farmers unwillingness to shoot wild pigs.D. The popularity of raising wild pigs in many states.31. What is the best title of the text?A. Why are wild pigs so hard to control?B. Are wild pigs pests or wild animals?C. Wild pigsan increasing danger in the US.D. How to deal with the problem of wild pigs?参考答案2831、CDCA 2016高考训练-阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。Nowadays many people are concerned about the problem of what to do with electronic waste such as old televisions, computers, radios, cellular telephones and other electronic equipment.Electronic trash, or e-waste, is piling up faster than ever in American homes and businesses. People do not know what to do with old televisions or computers so they throw them in the trash.National Solid Waste Management Association (NSWMA) state programs director Chaz Miller says the large amount of electronic waste Americans product is not unexpected.The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates more than 400 million consumer electronic items are dumped each year, and there is a push by more states to ban the waste from landfills (垃圾填埋场) and create recycling programs. They can be torn apart and sorted for useable parts. Mike Fannon who runs the plant in Baltimore says, “There are lots of valuable metals that can be recovered and reused instead of just putting them in the landfill, and in certain components there are some materials that should not really be in the landfill. ” Fannon says nearly 20 percent of electronic waste is recycled nationwide. Thirteen years ago, it was only about 6 percent. Recycling rates continue to rise as more communities have banned electronics from landfills in order to keep e-waste poisons like lead (铅) and mercury (汞) out of garbage dumps.This year several states like Vermont imposed a ban on electronic waste in landfills. More than 25 other states have also adopted bans on e-waste in landfills. Chaz Miller says more can be done to boost electronic waste recycling.“We can do much better,” noted Miller. “I think clearly our goal should be to do as well as we do recycling newspapers.” 32. Which of the following does NOT belong to e-waste?A. Old televisions.B. Old computers.C. Old cell phones.D. Old newspapers.33. Why is e-waste banned from landfills in many states?A. Because it can not be recycled.B. Because the landfills are already full.C. Because it might damage the environment.D. Because it can be shipped to other countries.34. According to Mike Fannon, what might be the best way of dealing with e-waste?A. Recycling it.B. Selling it.C. Burying it.D. Breaking it.35. What can we learn from the passage?A. Chaz Miller works for EPA.B. Miller is optimistic about the future of e-waste.C. At present, less than 10 percent of e-waste is recycled.D. All states in the US have banned e-waste from landfills.参考答案3235 DCAB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。(2013哈尔滨市质检，C)Your name made you do it, though unconsciously, suggests new research that finds your name can negatively make you achieve less. Psychologists at Yale and the University of California, San Diego studying the unconscious influence of names say a preference for our own names and initialsthe “nameletter effect”can have some negative consequences.Students whose names begin with C or D get lower grades than those whose names begin with A or B; major league baseball players whose first or last names began with K are significantly more likely to strike out.Assistant professors Leif Nelson of UCSD and Joseph Simmons of Yale have conducted five studies over five years using information from thousands of individuals.“The conscious process is that baseball players want to get a hit and students want to get As，” Nelson says. “So if you get a change in performance in agreement with the nameletter effect, it clearly shows there must be some unconscious desire operating in the other direction.”The researchers work supports a series of studies published since 2002 that have found the “nameletter effect” causes people to make life choices based on names that resemble (类似) their own. Those studies by Brett Pelham, an associate professor at SUNY University, have found that people are disproportionately (不定比例地) likely to live in states or cities resembling their names, have careers that resemble their names and even marry those whose surnames begin with the same letter as their own.The twist, says, is that he has believed the nameletter effect would apply only to positive outcomes. Nelson and Simmons, he
