高考英语阅读理解训练十篇阅读理解强化训练12014 saw that the Ebola virus reappeared in Guinea and soon spread into neighbouring Liberia and Sierra Leone, killing over 7,800 people by the new year of 2015. It leads to viral hemorrhagic fever, which is characterized by high fever and internal bleeding etc.Ebola is named after the Ebola River, where it was first discovered in 1976. There are five different types of the Ebola virus, each named after where they first happened: Sudan, Ivory Coast, Reston, Bundibugyo, and Zaire. The deadliest of the five, Zaire, was responsible for the 2012 out- break, and is believed to be attacking Guinea.Ebola is naturally found in fruit bats, which pass on the virus to other animals by biting or sucking on their blood. Humans who are suffering from the Ebola infection might have touched the bodily fluids of the infected animals. Once infected, a human becomes a carrier of the deadly virus.Unfortunately, there are no disease - specific treatments for Ebola. Health-care workers only supply the infected people with physiological saline(生理盐水) to keep them in good condition. Ebola can kill 90% of those infected, especially in underdeveloped societies like those in Africa. Since there have been many cases of nurses catching the disease from patients, they are forced to wear strict protective clothes, and in some cases, not even allowed to get close to the infected. The fact that there is no cure for the Ebola virus is what makes the outbreak a challenging one to control.Whats worse, since we live in an interconnected world, where the situation in one country can affect us all, the influences of Ebola are huge: damaging trade relations, affecting foreign visitors, and weakening entire countries. It is feared that the disease may spread throughout west African countries. For every country, a strong health system can decrease the risk of health attack and lessen the impact of Ebola.1. What is the function of the first paragraph in the whole passage?A. To arouse the readers concern.B. To summarize the whole passage.C. To give a detailed description of Ebola.D. To introduce the theme of the whole passage.2. What can we infer about the Ebola virus?A. It has caused a panic in many countries.B. It is the most dangerous virus in the world.C. A strong health system is important to fight against Ebola.D. Anyone who was infected Ebola will die.3. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us _.A. What the Ebola virus isB. How the Ebola virus spreadsC. How the Ebola virus is treatedD. How the Ebola virus affects the life4. Which of the following is true?A. There are no effective drugs to treat Ebola by far.B. Ebola is now very common in Guinea.C. Those with a fever must be infected by Ebola.D. Females are easier to be infected by Ebola.阅读理解强化训练1【语篇解读】本文是新闻报道类文章。主要介绍了埃博拉病毒到目前为止已经造成的伤害以及埃博拉病毒来源、传播的途径、目前的治疗状况等。1.

Theres a fair chance that youd be doing it wrong.One of the interesting things about the mind is that even though we all have one, we all have one, we dont have perfect insight(洞察力) into how to get the best from it. This is partly because of flaws(缺陷) in our ability to think about our own thinking. Studying this self-reflective thought process exposes human being personal blind spots.One area there these blind spots are particularly large is learning. Were actually surprisingly bad at having insight into how we learn best.Researchers Jeffrey Karpicke and Henry Roediger IIII made an experiment, where they asked college students to learn pairs of Swahib and English words. So, for example, they had to learn that if they were given the Swahili word “mashua” the correct response was “boat”. They could have used the sort of facts you might get on a high-school quiz, but the use of Swahili meant that there was little chance their participants could use any background knowledge to help them learn. After the pairs had all been learnt, there would be a final test a week later.Now if many of us were revising this list we might study the list, test ourselves and then repeat this cycle, dropping items we got right. This makes studying and testing quicker and allows us to focus our effort on the things we havent yet learnt. Its a plan that seems to make perfect sense, but that is disastrous if we really want to learn properly.Karpicke and Roediger asked students to prepare for a test in various ways, and compared their success for example, one group kept testing themselves on all items without dropping what they were getting right, while another group stopped testing themselves on their correct answers. On the final exam differences between the groups were dramatic. While dropping items from study didnt have much of an effect, the people who dropped items from testing performed relatively poorly.It seems the effective way to learn is to practice getting items back from memory, not trying to consolidate(巩固) them in there by further study. Moreover, dropping items entirely from you revision, which is the advice given by many study guides, is wrong. You can stop studying them if youve learnt them, but you should keep testing what youve learnt if you want to remember them at the time of the final exam.So the evidence has a moral for teachers: theres more to testing than finding out what students knows tests can also help us remember.1. According to the passage, we often fail to remember facts because _.A. we ignore our weakness in memorizing thingsB. we dont understand well what we are learningC. we dont know where our metal blind spots areD. we take improper ways to memorize for good ones2. The researchers experiment was intended to _.A. confirm we dont know how to learn effectivelyB. find out how we can consolidate our knowledge betterC.distinguish effects of memory in learning different languagesD. prove the importance of background knowledge in memorizing3. What does the authour believe leads to a good memory?A. Constant measure of your knowledge.B. Frequent revision of what you learn.C. Firm abandonment of what youre poor at.D. Strong desire fr grasping new knowledge.4. The proper title for the passage is _.A. An experiment on memoryB. A concept of human memoryC. A way to improve your memoryD.

But, now it is on an innovative path that has led to success andthe market downtown has passed and it is seeing a second peak.It has stopped using the mass production lines that targeted big festivals and has turned instead to traditional lantern arts and culture and brought in new technology and developed new products to meet diverse demands from customers all across the country.Li Xiaopan, head of one shop, says that they have turned from single-product groups to arts and crafts and are “making culture ” instead of just products. Previously, they only catered to Shanxi culture, but now they embrace Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang,and Taiwan cultures as well and even got the invitation from the city of Taichung, Taiwan to take part in 2015 lantern show during the Spring Festival there. And, Li goes on, even though this may not bring in big profits, it could be a good way to increase their influence through cultural exchanges.In their research, they also discovered a friend among museums and tourist spots that valued Chinese civilization and culture so they considered combining the traditional lantern business with tourism as another pathway and are now sorting through all kinds of historical materials and preparing for indoor exhibitions by cooperating with museums and exhibition centers.So, it looks, as if, in the battle for the market, this crafts shop has finally come out a winner.1.The lamp and lantern industry declined after _.A. the prices went up sharply some years agoB. big festivals were celebrated in more waysC. we started to correct unhealthy social trendD. they lost attraction to their former customers2.

Each bike is designed with the logo“Nice Ride” the name of the citys bike-share program.Nice Ride bikes are a lot like the library books that people come here to borrow. To rent a bike, you simply use your membership card at a Nice Ride bike station. Members can rent one of 1,200 bikes from 138 stations throughout Minnesotas largest city. People use the Nice Ride bikes to go to work, to go out on business, or just to enjoy the citys many bike paths.The rise of bike-share programs like Nice Ride is encouraging more people than ever to choose biking over driving. Rising gas prices and concerns about the environment have also gotten people to dust off their bike helmets,pump air into flat tires, and hit the road.Why ride? Not only is biking good exercise, but switching from a car to a bike also reduces the amount of pollution in the air. Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas linked to climate change, is one of the many polluting substances that come out of a cars tall pipe.Bike-share systems are found around the world in cities like London, Paris, Barcelona, and Melbourne, Australia. The largest program-with 70,000 bikes-is in Wuhan, China.To make roads friendlier to non-motorists, the U.S. Department of Transportation has invested more than a billion dollars in cycling and pedestrian projects in recent years. The money went toward building thousands of miles of on-street bike lanes and bike-and pedestrian-only passages called green ways.1.

Recent research has confirmed that experiential purchases tend to produce greater hedonic(享乐的) gains than material purchases.The reason why experiences improve with time may be because it is possible to think about experiences in a more abstract manner than possessions. For example, if you think back to a fantastic summer from your youth, you might easily remember an abstract sense of warm sunshine and youthful exuberant(生气勃勃), but youre less likely to remember exactly what you did day-by-day.Material possessions are harder to think about in an abstract sense. The car you bought is still a car, that great new jacket you picked up cheap is still just a jacket. Its more likely the experience of that summer has taken on a symbolic meaning that can live longer in your memory than a possession.Purchasing may have a negative impact on happiness because consumers often buy “joyless” material possessions, resulting in comfort but not pleasure. In general, people adapt to experiences more slowly than to material purchase. This can be seen in both negative and positive purchases: hedonic adaptation would result in a positive experience causing more happiness but a negative experience causing less happiness than the comparable material purchase with the same initial happiness level.Experience, however, seems to be more resistant to these sorts of unfavourable comparisons. It is because of the unique nature of experience. Its more difficult to make an unfavourable comparison when there is nothing directly comparable. After all, each of our youthful summers is different.Its well established that social comparisons can have a huge effect on how we view what might seem like positive events. One striking example is the finding that people prefer to earn $50,000 a year while everyone else earns $25,000, instead of earning $100,000 themselves and having other people earn $200,000.A similar effect is seen for possessions. When there are so many flat-screen HD TVs to choose from, its easy to make unfavourable comparisons between our choice and the others available.1. An abstract sense in the passage refers to awareness of something _.A. you cannot think aboutB. you can t remember wellC. you cannot understandD. you cannot see or touch2. If you make an experiential purchase before a material purchase, you may go to_.A. a theatre before going to a storeB. an exhibition before going to a parkC. a mall before going to a grocersD. a market before going to a restaurant3. The example of earnings is given to actually indicate_.A. how ridiculous people areB. how people feel contentC. how nearsighted people areD. how people hold prejudice4. It is implied in the passage that, after their material purchases, people might _.A. enjoy their ownership of what they have boughtB. pick every fault in the products they have gotC. regret making a wrong decision to buy the itemsD. leave what theyve purchased untouched at home阅读理解强化训练5【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。该文章主要介绍了现在流行的实验购物的优点和可行性。1.
