If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think.This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise—and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect(智能)and emotion, and determine the human character.(The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.)

Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was observed I some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age—using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns.Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors.White collar workers doing

【閱讀理解主旨大意】 Passage******

A teacher of English as a second language is the 20典型例題her of the Year in the United States.Kathy Mellor of Rhode Island will spend the next year as an international spokeswoman for education.President Bush and his wife.Eaura.honored her during a ceremony(儀式)at the White House last week.For the past nineteen years.Kathy Melior has taught English as a second language at Davisville Middle School in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, in the northeastern United States.She redesigned the program for E.S.L.students at her school to provide each student with one to three periods per day in classes for English learners.How much instruction the students get depends on their level of skill in listening, speak-lng, reading and writing.The amount of time they spend in these classes is reduced as their level of English increases.答案: D指導(dǎo)：文章第一段最后兩句介紹Kathy Melior(作為20典型例題范教師)將在明年作為international spokeswoinan for education，并且總統(tǒng)夫婦于上周在白宮向她表示敬意，可見政府對(duì)教育之重視。

【2013高考英語遼寧省沈陽市領(lǐng)航試卷】B About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table.I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation.At one point the woman asked: “So, how have you been?” And the boy, who could not have been more than seven or eight years old, replied, “Frankly, I’ve been a little depressed lately.”

This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing.As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years.Children don’t seem childlike anymore.Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different.Childhood as it once was no longer exists, why? Human development is based not only on innate(天生)biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge.Movement from one social rote(生搬硬套)to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status.Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation(揭示)machine has been brought in 98 percent of American homes.It is called television.Television passes information to all viewers alike, indiscriminately(不加區(qū)分地).Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of

their jobs." He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level.I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established.My topic is not standards nor its decline（降低）.What the speaker was really saying is that eh is no longer young;he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable.It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction.Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies（缺陷）.But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea.As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability.Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect.To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate.Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar to today's young people, it naturally follows that today's English teachers cannot be doing their jobs.Otherwise, young people would not have a poor command of English.41.The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that ________.A.the language of the younger generation is usually inferior to that t of the older generation

B.the students had a poor command of English because they didn't work hard enough

C.he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen years

D.English teachers should be held responsible for the students' poor command of English 【答案】D 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由“High school English teachers are not doing their jobs.”

B)young people would not have a poor command of English if the teachers did their jobs properly

C)to get rid of language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and ears

D)to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generations 【答案】A 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由“Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar to today's young people, it naturally follows that today's English teachers cannot be doing their jobs.”可知作者認(rèn)為，因?qū)W生語言上的不足而責(zé)備英語老師是不公平的。

There’s one right here.”

I sat down next to Tammy.Soon class was over, and we still had a lot to say.“Why don’t you come over later?” Tammy asked.“I live on a farm.There’s plenty of room for the kids to run.” We went.And since that day, we’ve been back a million times.When I look back, I’m grateful for that tough time.I learned to persevere.I’m

This is an old tale.It’s the story of the three little pigs and the big bad wolf that blew down a house made of straw and one made of sticks.The only house left standing was the one made of bricks.Now there is new evidence to suggest that houses built with bales of straw can be very strong.They are also environmental.Pete Walker is a professor at the University of Bath in Britain.He and a team of researchers there have built a house made out of straw bales and hemp material.During the next twelve months the team will study the effectiveness of these materials in home building.Professor Walker says there are many good reasons for using straw.Professor Walker says that one of the benefits is that it’s a relatively inexpensively renewable material that’s readily available.According to Professor Walker, straw takes in carbon dioxide as it grows.So it can be seen as having no harmful effects on the environment.He says straw helps the environment in other ways.Professor Walker: “The straw bale walls are relatively thick and so all that straw provides very good thermal(of heat)insulation.So we make buildings that

閱讀下列短文，按要求完成讀寫任務(wù)

(2009年全國(guó)Ⅰ卷)We have met the enemy，and he is ours.We bought him at a pet shop.When monkey-pox，a disease usually found in the African rain forest，suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest，it's hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing or on human beings.“Most of the infections we think of as human infections started in other animals，” says Morse，director of the Center for Public Health Preparedenss at Columbia University.It's not just that we're going to where the animals are，we're also bringing them closer to us.Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country.A strange illness killed Isaksen's pets，and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea.“I don't think it's fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them”，says Isaken.“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing，” says Peter Schantz.Monkey-pox may be the wake-up_call.Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners.We know very little about these new diseases.A new bug may be kind at first.But it may develop into something harmful.Monkey-pox doesn't look a major infectious disease.But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.Ⅰ.根據(jù)短文，寫一篇30詞左右的摘要

________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________

Ⅱ.根據(jù)所讀短文，選擇正確答案

1．What dose the word “monkey-pox” mean? A．a(chǎn) container to keep monkeys.B．a(chǎn) medicine for a monkey disease C．a(chǎn)n infectious disease D．a(chǎn) popular foreign pet 2.What does the phrase “the wake-up call” most probably means? A．a(chǎn) new disease

B．a(chǎn) clear warning C．a(chǎn) dangerous animal D．a(chǎn) morning call 3．What does the word “bug” mean?

答案：A

Many of us mistakenly believe that it's wrong to think we have any good qualities.We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance.However, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people.How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed（有缺陷）? If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you.The person who doesn't like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy.Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time.Don't take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities.In fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else.For all the factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least as many factors that will work in your favor with someone else.You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life.There are many people who don’t mind your extra pounds.You may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend.There are people out there looking for loyalty, or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important.If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends.You can decide to feel inferior（自卑）because you don't have much money and you don't drive a nice car.You can believe that this is the reason that you don't have many friends in your life.On the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes you as a person.The point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe it's the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any.36.According to the author ___________ plays an important role in making friends.A.admitting your shortcomings B.self criticism C.modesty D.confidence 【答案】D 【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people.既然我們強(qiáng)調(diào)我們的缺點(diǎn)有可能在交朋友方面成為絆腳石，那么我們就應(yīng)該自信，故選D。37.If you are not liked by a person, _________.A.you should find the reason in yourself B.you’d better talk with the person face to face C.you may not be the one to be blamed D.you and that person misunderstand each other 【答案】C 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you.The person who doesn't like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy.不喜歡你也許和你一點(diǎn)關(guān)系都沒有，你也許不應(yīng)該受到責(zé)備，故選C。

38.We can learn from the third paragraph that ____________.A.your good qualities may turn out to be your flaws B.your weakness may also be your strengths in some way C.your negative qualities cause a person to reject you D.you’ll have few friends if your flaws are bigger than your good qualities 【答案】B 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)In fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else.你的弱點(diǎn)也許是在某方面是你的強(qiáng)項(xiàng)，故選B。39.Which of the following is true according to the author? A.It is important to lose weight.B.It is easier for a wealthy person to make friends.C.Inner qualities are more important than physical appearance.(2)One mistaken idea about business is that it can be treated as a game of perfect information.Quite_the_reverse，business，politics，life itself are games which we must normally play with imperfect information.(1)依據(jù)信息“上學(xué)12年”、還“不會(huì)寫一個(gè)句子”、“大喊大叫”，可知家長(zhǎng)在指責(zé)校方，也就不難猜出illiterate意為“文盲”。

(2)前句說“關(guān)于商業(yè)的一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤觀點(diǎn)是商業(yè)可以看做完美的信息游戲”，而后句說“商業(yè)、政治、生活本身是非常不完美的信息游戲”，由此推之quite the reverse的意思是“正好相反”。

◆ 活學(xué)活用

(一)猜出下列句中劃線單詞的意思

1．Doctors believe that smoking cigarettes is detrimental to health.They also regard drinking as harmful.2．The hot-air balloon took off.It was buoyant in the air as a rose leaf in water.3．The consequences of epochal events such as wars and great scientific discoveries are not confined to a small geographical area as they were in the past.4．The child is as fragile as glass.5．He fell into a ditch and lay there，semiconscious，for a few minutes.(一)1．解析：從also推知harmful與detrimental同義，意思是“不利的，有害的”。答案：有害的，不利的

2．解析：從as a rose leaf in water(水中的玫瑰花瓣)可知buoyant是形容詞，意為“漂浮的”。

答案：漂浮的

3．解析：從wars and great scientific discoveries可知epochal的意思是 “重要的”。

答案：重要的

4．解析：常識(shí)告訴我們“玻璃易碎”，此處用以描繪人，意思是“脆弱的”。答案：脆弱的

5．解析：他掉進(jìn)溝里，躺在那幾分鐘，劃線單詞的意思是“半清醒的、半昏迷的”。

(2010年江蘇卷)Usually，when your teacher asks a question，there is only one correct answer.But there is one question that has millions of correct answers.That question is “What's your name？” Everyone gives a different answer，but everyone is correct.Have you ever wondered about people's names？Where do they come from？What do they mean? People's first names，or given names，are chosen by their parents.Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used.Some parents choose the name of a well-known person.A boy could be named George Washington Smith；a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.Some people give their children names that mean good things.Clara means “bright”；Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”；Donald means “world ruler”；Leonard means “as brave as a lion”．

The earliest last names，or surnames，were taken from place names.A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪)；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long，paved road.The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.Other early surnames came from people's occupations.The most common occupational name is Smith，which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals.In the past，smiths were very important workers in every town and village.Some other occupational names are：Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart；Potter—a person who made pots and pans.The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village.The Carpenter's great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin，or their size，or their special abilities.When there were two men who were named John in the same village，the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray.Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman.John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.Some family names were made by adding something to the father's name.English-speaking people added -s or -son.The Johnsons are descendants of John；the Roberts family's ancestor was Robert.Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc

A Six years ago, I walked into a local animal shelter on a cold, rainy day.Although my house was already full of cats and dogs, I still couldn’t resist an occasional visit to the shelter.This time as I was walking down the row of pens full of barking dogs I noticed a small boy looking into one of them.He had a malnourished（營(yíng)養(yǎng)不良的）looking body and a bony face with a big nose sticking out of the middle of it.He was looking at a small, golden dog.Its bony ribs were showing and its thin tail was folded between its legs.It wasn’t begging for attention like the other puppies but was hiding in the corner instead.The boy looked up at me with sad eyes and asked what was wrong with it.“It was probably abused and abandoned”, I said.“That is why it is so scared.”

The boy immediately turned to an older lady and said, “Grandma, I want this one.” The old woman smiled and walked to the front desk to fill out the adoption forms.I followed and asked about the boy.I found out that he’d had a rough start in life too.She had just gotten custody（監(jiān)護(hù)權(quán)）of him after the state had taken him from his parents.She had hoped getting a dog would make it easier on him.I looked back at him, holding his scared puppy, and said a prayer for them both.It was yesterday.I was driving down the road enjoying a gloriously sunny, spring day.Then in a green front yard I saw the boy.His teenage body was tall and strong.His nose no longer seemed big but fit well into his smiling face.He was throwing

閱讀中的猜詞技巧(2)------定義釋義法

◆ 方法點(diǎn)撥

釋義指對(duì)陌生詞的解釋(解釋性描述)，一般通過定義、定語從句、詞組、同位語從句來體現(xiàn)。其表現(xiàn)形式為：用that is，in other words，or，mean，be called，refer to或連系動(dòng)詞to be等定義或重述形式來解釋生詞。如∶

[例題1]：Anthropology is the scientific study of man.[例題2]The_herdsman，who looks after sheep，earns about 650 yuan a year.[解析1]從解釋 the scientific study of man可知anthropology的意思是 “人類學(xué)”。[解析2]定語從句中l(wèi)ooks after sheep就表明了herdsman的詞義為“牧人”。◆ 活學(xué)活用

高考英語閱讀理解練習(xí)題及答案(5)

The fiddler crab(蟹)is a living clock.It indicates(=shows)the time of day by the colour of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night.The crab’s changing colour follows a regular twenty—four hour plan that exactly matches the daily rhythm(節(jié)奏)of the sun.Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply answer to the sun’s rays, changing colour according to the amount of light strikes it? To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months.Even without daylight, the crab’s skin colour continued to change exactly on time.This characteristic(特性)probably developed gradually in answer to the daily rising and setting of the sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies.After millions of years it has become completely regulated(受控制)inside the living body of the crab.The biologists noticed that once each day the colour of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the day before.From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides(潮水).The crab’s period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was cought!

1.The fiddler crab is like a clock because it changes colour ______.A in a regular 24—hour rhythm B.in answer to the sun’s rays

C.at low tide D.every fifty minutes
