第一篇：閱讀理解練習

一、閱讀理解。

（一）國 徽

中華人民共和國國徽，是我們偉大祖國的象征。在雄偉的人民大會堂，在祖國的海關，在人民的法庭上，每當我們看到莊嚴美麗的國徽，心里便會蕩起一種崇高的愛國之情。

國徽呈圓形，圓形的中間上方是璀璨奪目的五顆金星，下方是雄偉端莊的天安門城樓，天安門城樓的正上方部是一個金色的齒輪，齒輪兩邊的稻穗對稱地向上環抱，至居中的頂部相合，齒輪的中心又系著兩幅紅綢，呈弧形伸向兩邊，而后向下垂掛，使圓形的國徽有了堅定、穩定之感。國徽的基本色彩是紅、黃兩色，熱烈、美麗、崇高、莊嚴。

天安門圖案是我們中華民族的象征。具有民族特色的雄偉端莊的天安門城樓的正面圖景，橫貫國徽的中下方，象征著中華民族的優秀文化和威武不屈的英姿。

齒輪、稻穗象征著工人階級的農民階級。金色的齒輪，仿佛帶動整個國家飛轉向前，碩大的稻麥穗，也同樣象征著人民的幸福，祖國的繁榮。

國徽的五顆星，代表中國共產黨領導下的中國人民大團結，正上方的一顆大星，代表著中國共產黨。黨是燈塔，是太陽，沒有共產黨就沒有新中國。四顆小星在一部呈半圓形環抱，象征億萬人民，心心向著共產黨，堅強團結，眾志成城。

我愛你啊，美麗莊嚴的國徽；我愛你啊，光輝燦爛的祖國！

C Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg，distance of about eighty miles.It was late.Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving tuck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light.I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop.I looked left, right and behind me.Nothing.Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.I started wondering why 1 refused to run the light I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman wound.and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it..Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me.I think I stopped because it's part of a contract(契約)we all have with each other.It's not only the law, but it is an agreement we have, and we taut each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.Trust is our first inclination(傾向).Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us.The whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互)trust, not distrust We do what we say we'll do;we show up when we say we'll show up;and we pay when we say we'll pay.We trust each other in these matters, and we're angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.63.Why did the author get impatient while driving?

2012年普通高等學校招生全國統一考試（天津卷）

D You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator.When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place.“They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering.“They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around.Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(內化)your victimization.The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently.They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way.They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail.Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter.They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的)moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart.Victims relish(沉溺)in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others---and even themselves---to feel like victims, too.Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them.Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives.One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime.Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.51.What does the word “they” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to? A.People and things around you.B.Opportunities and problems.C.Creators and their choices.D.Victims and their sufferings.52.According to Paragraph 2, creators __________.A.seem willing to experience failures in life B.possess the ability to predict future life C.handle ups and downs of life wisely D.have potential to create something new 53.What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A.Creators and victims face quite different things in life.B.Creators and victims are masters of their lives.C.Victims can influence more people than creators.D.Compared with victims, creators are more emotional.54.The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that _______________.A.strong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victims.B.people need family support to deal with challengers in life.C.it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains.D.one’s experiences determine his attitude toward life.55.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A.To define victims and creators.B.To evaluate victims against creators.C.To explain the relationship between victims and creators.D.To suggest the transformation from victims to creators.A

“Have a nice day” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression.When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me.I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day.Next!” The version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door.The words came out in the same tone(腔調)with a fixed procedure.They are spoken at me, not to me.Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other.Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting.As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting at an end.Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say.“Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day”

The expression can be pleasant.If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting.The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day.But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much.While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken The point is that people say it all the time when they like.26.How does the author understand Maxie’s words? A.Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.B.Maxie really wishes the author a good day.C.Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.D.Maxie really worries about the author’s security.27.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean? A.The salesgirl is rude.B.The salesgirl is bored.C.The salesgirl cares about me.D.The salesgirl says the words as a routine.28.By saying“Have a nice day“, a stranger may _____.A.try to be polite to you B.express respect to you C.give his blessing to you D.share his pleasure with you 29.According to the last paragraph, people say“Have a nice day”_______.A.sincerely B.as thanks C.as a habit D.encouragingly 30.What is the best title of the passage? A.Have a Nice Day—a Social Custom B.Have a Nice Day—a Pleasant Gesture C.Have a Nice Day—a Heart-warming Greeting D.Have a Nice Day—a Polite Ending of a Conversation BDACA C

I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known.I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help.After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not like them.I must have been a terrible danger on the roads, Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes.Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something,“I’m awfully sorry,”I said and stepped forward only to run into it again.When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost.This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me.So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off.No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound.Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away.In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop;It seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus.Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did.But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by.I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one.Then I gave up.I decided to walk on to the next stop.36.The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_________.A.she might be recognized B.asking for help looked silly C.she was normal and independent D.being fond blind was embarrassing 37.After the girl got off the bus that evening, she_________.A.began to run B.hit a person as usual C.hit a lamppost by accident D.was caught by something 38.At the request stop that evening, the girl___________.A.stopped a big lorry B.stopped the wrong bus C.made no attempt to stop the bus D.was not noticed by other people 39.What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus? A.Other vehicles also stopped there.B.It was unreliable for making judgments.C.More lorries than buses responded to the girl.D.It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.40.Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping __________.A.to find people there B.to find more buses there C.to find the bus by herself there D.to find people more helpful there DCCBA

B.Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.King's Art Centre

A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere.This weekend tees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.You could attend a class teaching you how to 'learn from the masters' or get more creative with paint----free of charge.The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.The Botanic Garden

The Garden has over 8,000 plant species;it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive.The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts.Look for grass snakes in the lake.A snake called 'Hissing Sid' is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.Byron's Pool

Many stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University, Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of ”mess and drunkenness“.However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough.I'm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his roans.He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron's Pool.A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields.The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea.If you don't trust me, then perhaps you’ll take it from Virginia Woolf-----over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.61.As mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for_____.A.attending the masters' class

B.working with local artists

C.learning life drawing

D.seeing an exhibition 62.”Torch Aloe“ and ”Venus Flytrap" are_____.A.common insects

D.to finish university in 1805 64.In the passage Byron's Pool is described as a lake_____..A.surrounded by fields

B.owned by Lord Byron

C.located in Grantchester

D.discovered by Virginia Woolf 65.What is the passage mainly about?

A.Some places for weekend break B.A way to become creative in art.C.The colourful life in the countryside.D.Unknown stories of Cambridge University.61.C.King’s Art Centre下最后一句.62.B。The Botanic Garden下第二、三段可知是兩種植物，并不是昆蟲、蛇，更不是野生動物愛好者。

63.B。Byron’s Pool下第一段最后一句。64.A。Byron’s Pool下第二段第二句 65.A。文章開始第一句。

Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously.Jason was determined not to go against their father’s wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother.He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you’ve been playing with his new computer.” Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”

“He won’t find out.” Mark said, “I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”

Mark had been scolded before for touching his father’s equipment.But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.“It was a strange-looking machine –one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked.“It’s an experimental model,” his father had explained, “so don’t touch it under any circumstances.” But his warning only served to make Mark more curious.Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch.The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colors, shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the center of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”

“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “It’s a computer game.I knew it!Dad’s only been pretending to work.He’s really been playing games instead.” A new message appeared on the screen:

“ENTER NAMES

VOYAGER 1: ?

VOYAGER 2: ?”

Mark’s fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.“INPUT ACCEPTED.START TRANSPORT PROGRAM.AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED（自動回收程序已啟動）.”

The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.“I think we’d better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yelled, reaching for the power switch.He was really frightened.But his hand never reached the switch.A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒), until they themselves seemed to be glowing.Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life.And the boys were no longer there.On the screen, the letters changed.“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL.DESTINATION: MARS.RETRIEVE DATE: 2025.” 56．Why did Mark touch the computer against his father’s warning?

After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest.Sleep is necessary for good health.During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day.The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before.As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little.Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down.After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream.Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly(although your eyelids are closed).This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply.Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy.There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!1.A good title for this passage is ____________.A.Sleep B.Good Health C.Dreams D.Work and Rest 2.The word “drowsy” in the last paragraph means ____________.A.sick B.stand up C.asleep D.a little sleepy 3.The passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you ____________.A.dream more often B.have poor health C.nervous D.breathe quickly 4.During REM, ____________.A.your eyes move quickly B.you dream C.you are restless D.both A and B 5.The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ____________.A.approximately six hours B.around ten hours C.about eight hours D.not stated here 2 To the curious and the courageous, the sea still presents the challenge of the unknown, for ignorance is still the distinguishing characteristic of man's relation to the sea.But now, more than ever, necessity urges us onward in our exploration of the sea.We now have submarines capable of staying under water of many months holding missiles capable of destruction many times greater than those used in World War II.For strategic reasons, therefore, we need urgently to learn more about the ocean bottom.Quite apart from the threat of war, another necessity presses us to learn to master the sea.That necessity is basic to life itself: food.The lives of two-third of the world's people are wholly dictated by that basic necessity, they are oppressed by hunger and by the weakness and disease which hunger generates.Out of the sea we can extract the food to relieve the hunger of these millions of people and give dignity to their lives.We must turn to the sea, because the bounty of the land has limit.6.The best title of the passage may be ____________.A.Challenge of the Unknown B.World's Food Problem C.Conquering the Sea D.The Unknown World 7.Which of the following statements is true? A.The sea is of special importance to the curious and the courageous.B.The sea may be a potential threat to man.C.Submarines may help us conquer the sea.D.As yet, we still don't know much about the sea.8.Modern submarines can ____________.A.destroy all the natural resources at the ocean bottom B.stay under water for months without returning to their base for supplies C.be the one and only answer to win the next war D.be economically used as transport vessels 9.The author implies that ____________.A.the ocean may hold the key to solving the world's food problem B.the advance of science and technology is a threat to human existence C.conquering the sea may ultimately mean the conquest of the world D.food shortage drives people to war 10.Wisely explored and fairly distributed of its harvest, the sea stands for ____________.A.a mighty threat B.an unseen enemy C.a great challenge D.a potential promise 3 It is a matter of common observation that although incomes keep going up over the years, people never seem to become much better off!Prices are rising continuously.This condition is termed one of inflation;the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable.People have grown accustomed in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation.What could be bought ten years ago for one dollar now costs well over two dollars.Present indications are that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fall.If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices one might think that inflation does not matter.But it does.When money is losing value it lacks one of the qualities of a good moneyyour brain.Keep your mind awake and you'll stay young all over.These are exciting times.Take an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning at least one new thing every day.Regardless of your age, it's not too late to make your life more interesting.I know a housewife with no previous knowledge who made herself into an outstanding industrial designer;I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly paid ceramic artist.Get over the notion that you are ever too old to go back to school.I know a man who entered medical college at 70.He got his degree with honors and became an eminent physician.Another man went to law school at 71 and his now an active lawyer.In spite of years, staying young is easy for those who live in the future.You can do it if you care enough to try.Keep your mind awake and active;that's the only youth elixir(萬靈藥)guaranteed to work.16.The statement that our brain remains young and growing regardless of age is __________.A.an impossibility B.a scientific fact C.a supposition D.a ridiculous conclusion 17.It is wrong to __________.A.think oneself too old to go back to school B.keep one's mind awake C.try to stay young D.get one's degree with honor 18.The passage states that a man who entered college at 70 became __________.A.an active lawyer B.an electric engineer C.a distinguished doctor D.a highly paid ceramic artist 19.The only youth elixir is to __________.A.go back to school B.forget one's own age C.keep in touch with young people D.keep one's mind awake and active 20.All of the following statement are true EXCEPT that __________.A.human brain never gets old with age B.every person should take up a new occupation when he becomes old C.staying young is not difficult if one is willing to try D.there is always something to learn if you have an interest in what's going on around you 5 The water level of oceans rises and falls alternately twice a day.This movement of water is called the tide.Tides are caused by the pull of the sun and the moon on the earth's surface;since the moon is closer, it affects the tides more than the sun.When the moon is directly overhead, it actually pulls on the water that is below it.This causes the water level to rise because the water is pulled away from the earth.As the moon disappears over the horizon, the pull lessens and the water level settles back towards the ocean bottom.When the water reach its highest level, we have high tide.And when the water comes to its lowest level, we have low tide.From its lowest point, the water rises gradually for about six hours until it reaches high tide.Then it begins to fall continuously for about six hours until it reaches low tide.Then the cycle begins again.21.Which of the following may be the best title for the passage? A.The Moon and Ocean B.The Moon and the Tide C.Water Levels D.The Pull of the Moon and the Sun 22.The pull of the moon on the earth's surface is stronger than that of the sun because __________.A.The moon is directly over the earth B.The moon pulls the water away from the earth C.The moon is closer to the earth D.The moon moves around the earth 23.Water level reaches its low point when __________.A.the moon is hidden by clouds B.the moon's effect is indirect C.the moon moves far away D.the sun is overhead 24.High tide occurs __________.A.every 12 hours B.every 6 hours C.every 24 hours D.every 18 hours 25.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A.Weather sometimes affects tides.B.The force directly affecting the earth's surface comes form the moon only.C.The effect to the sun on the ocean water can be neglected.D.Tides are the result of the pull of the moon and the sun.參考答案：
