The table, as I remember, was always in my family and I had to clean it as a child as my weekly housework. It was such a beautiful table that my mother was proud to have it in her living room. Our family moved around a lot because my father, a Spanish and Hawaiian guitar teacher, needed to find new students as the old learned and left. We were never without food, fancy clothes or a house to live in. but, as I grew older, I knew why. My father would usually make enough money to buy us food and clothing, and deal with the doctor bills by paying out of his own pocket for a family of six. He was self-employed and had no medical coverage(医疗保险). Through so many moves, my mother was the organizer of everything that needed to be done. Dad was away at around one oclock each evening, so the major kid rearing(抚养), cooking and cleaning were all her work. I can also remember her sewing almost every night. My mom didnt take vacations. She didnt go out to buy fancy clothes for herself, and what she did buy was for her four children. As children, we cared about almost nothing. We didnt care about when the next money would come in. and, all through the years there sat a table with a vase on top. I sat back now and then and stared at that table. It was a reminder of what love was shown by my mother, what she suffered over the years, and what she gave to us, so we could have what we needed. And, her only valuable possession was the table with the vase on top.1. What did the author sometimes recall?A. Having to clean the table weekly. B. Putting a vase on the table weekly.C.

Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals natural behavior, intelligence, or beautyZoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species name, diet, and natural rangeThe animals normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos dont usually take care of the animals natural needs The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exerciseThis results in unusually and self-destructive behavior called zoochosisA worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cagesAnother study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain. Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangeredCaptive breeding(圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wildZoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying outIn fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customersHavent we seen enough competitions to name baby animals? Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill themInstead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals natural habitats.【小题1】How would the author describe the animals life in zoos?

We bought him at a pet shop. When monkeypox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, its hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings.可推断，从宠物商店购买的动物身上携带疾病。2D根据A strange illness killed Isaksens pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea.“I dont think its fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them，”可判断。3B根据上文，猴痘是一种从非洲的动物身上传播到人类身上的疾病，紧接着作者说这种没有经过严格控制的法律需要改变。最后又以猴痘为例，由此可判断“the wakeup call”表示“一种警示”。4A根据We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug (病毒) may be kind at first. But it may develop into something harmful.可知新的病毒会转化成有害的东西，最后导致人与人的传播，因此我们必须与新的疾病作斗争。5C最后一段大意：我们必须改变不检疫而引进野生动物的规定，这样才能避免疾病的传播。黑龙江省大庆市喇中2016高考英语阅读练习科普环保类 You may have never heard of Lanthanum, Cerium or Neodymium, but these elements (元素) and others known as “rare earth” play a major role in modern technology. They can actually be found in many places on the earth, but not in quantities that can be mined. Only a few countries China, America, India, Australia, Brazil and Malaysia have any that can be mined enough to be traded. Even though some of these elements such as Cerium are as abundant as Copper, they are not found in concentrated amounts on the earths surface. They are often mixed together with other metals, which makes extraction (提取) of these elements an expensive and an environmentally messy process. It was due to this reason that the term “rare earth” was invented. Rare earth metals are used widely in our life. Rechargeable car batteries, computers, iPhones, DVD players, computer monitors, televisions, lighting, lasers, glass polishing, and superconductors all use quantities of rare earth metals. Also, with the advancement in “green” technology like solar panels, these shiny materials are becoming more important than ever. An average electric car uses 10 pounds of Lanthanum for its rechargeable battery! America has large deposits (存储量) of rare earths and has one of the first mines. It was opened in Southern California in 1940. The element “Europium” was the first metal to be separated in quantity for use in color televisions. However, in the 1980s and 1990s, as China started producing these elements in Inner Mongolia, the mines in America and elsewhere could not keep pace. The mine in Mountain Pass, California also failed environmental regulations and shut down in 2002. Now, recognizing the importance of having more than one supplier of this important resource, other rare earth owning countries like India and Australia are either dusting off their rare earth mines or speeding up their production. It is believed that the debate over rare earths will become louder in the coming months and years.【小题1】What can we learn about rare earths? AThey are actually as abundant as Copper.BThey can be mined easily as other metals.CThey can only be found in a few countries.DThey are not really as rare as they are named.【小题2】Compared with China, America _. Apaid more attention to EuropiumBhas larger deposits of rare earthsCstarted producing rare earths earlierDhas more rare earth mines【小题3】It can be inferred from the text that rare earths _. Aare now in great demandBcan now be used in few fieldsCare harmful to the environmentDwill soon be replaced by other metals阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。Like distance runners on measured course, all of us will move through time in a roughly predictable pattern. In the first stage of our lives, we develop and grow, reaching toward the top of physical vitality (energy). After we grow up, however, the body begins a process of gradually wearing out. A new awareness of physical fitness may help lengthen our years of health and vitality, yet nothing we do will work to stop the unavoidable force of aging. Most of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body. The lungs become less able to take in oxygen. Powerful muscles gradually lose their strength. The heart loses power and pumps less blood. Bones grow easier to break. Finally, we meet a stress, a stress that is greater than our physical resistance. Often, it is only a minor accident or chance infection (a disease caused by virus), but this time, it brings life to an end. In 1932, a classic experiment nearly doubled the lifetime of rats, simply by cutting back the calories (unit for measuring the energy value of food)in their diet. The reason for the effect was then unknown. Today, at the University of California at Berkley, Dr. Paul Seagle has also greatly lengthened the normal lifetime of rats. The result was achieved through a special protein (蛋白质)limited diet, which had a great effect on the chemistry of the brain. Seagle showed that within the brain, specific chemicals control many of the signals that influence aging. By changing that chemical balance, the clock of aging can be reset. For the first time, the mystery (something that is difficult to understand or to explain)of why we age is being seriously challenged. Scientists in many fields are now making striking and far-reaching discoveries. An average lifetime lasts 75 years, yet in each of us lies a potential for a longer life. If we could keep the vitality and resistance to disease that we have at twenty, we would live for 800 years. 1. What does the underlined word “it”refer to? A. Physical vitality.B. Stress.C. Aging.D. Physical resistance. 2. The author believes the following EXCEPT that _.A. humans life pattern is predictableB. physical fitness cant stop the force of agingC. humans lifetime will last longer than 75 yearsD. all of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body3. How did Dr Paul Seagle lengthen the lifetime of rats in his experiment? A. By limiting the protein in their diet. B. By cutting the calories in their diet. C. By resetting their clock of aging. D. By keeping their physical fitness. 4. What is probably the best title for the article? A. Two Great Experiments. B. The Mystery of Human Life. C. Ways to Lengthen Human Life. D. The Breakthrough in the Study of Aging. 【参考答案】14、BDAD
