吉林舒兰市2017高考英语阅读理解一轮训练阅读理解As a professor at a large American university，I often hear a phrase from students：“Im only a 1050.” The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)，which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice，or even have a chance to get a higher education at all.The SAT score，whether it is 800,1100 or 1550，has become the focus at this time of their life.It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores，then a great amount of their selfrespect is put in the number.Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over.The low test score，they think，will make it impossible for them to get into a good college.And without a degree from a_prestigious_university，they fear that many of lifes doors will remain forever closed. According to a study done in the 1990s，the SAT is only a reliable indicator of a students future performance in most cases.Interestingly，it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicatorslike a students high school grades.Even if standardized tests like the SAT could show a students academic proficiency(学业水平)，they will never be able to test things like confidence，efforts and will power，and are unable to give us the full picture of a students potentialities(潜力).This is not to suggest that we should stop using SAT scores in our college admission process.The SAT is an excellent test in many ways，and the score is still a useful means of testing students.However，it should be only one of many methods used.1.The purpose of the SAT is to test students_.A.strong will B.academic abilityC.full potentialities D.confidence in school work2.Students selfrespect is influenced by their_.A.scores in the SAT B.achievements in mathematicsC.job opportunities D.money spent on education3.The underlined phrase “a prestigious university” probably means “_”.A.a famous university B.a technical universityC.a traditional university D.an expensive university4.This passage is mainly about_.A.how to prepare for the SAT B.stress caused by the SATC.American higher education D.the SAT and its effects【阅读心得】1.However，many of the young readers are getting interested in such poisonous reading，which costs them what they should pay for their breakfast and brings them nightmares and immoral ideas in return.(完形填空第二段倒数第二句)然而，许多年轻的读者对这些有害刊物非常感兴趣，而这些刊物花掉了他们本该去买早饭的钱，反而给他们带来了噩梦和邪恶的想法。(1)I bought him a drink in return for his help.我请他喝酒以酬谢他的帮助。(2)On his return he reported his findings to the committee.他一回来就向委员会报告结果。(3)Have you returned the novel to the library?那本小说你还给图书馆了吗？(4)We decided to return blow for blow.我们决定以牙还牙。2.The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)，which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice，or even have a chance to get a higher education at all.(阅读理解第一段第二句)这些不幸的学生正谈论他们SAT测试的分数，而这分数决定了他们是否能进入他们选择的高校，或有机会接受更高层次的教育。(1)Each ticket admits two persons to the party.每张票可供两人入场参加聚会。(2)He was admitted to hospital with minor burns.他因轻度烧伤而入院。(3)The school admits sixty new boys and girls every year.这所学校每年招收六十名男女新生。(4)He admitted having stolen the car.他招认偷了那辆汽车。3.It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores，then a great amount of their selfrespect is put in the number.(阅读理解第二段第一句)很明显，如果学生重视他们的考试成绩，他们就对这些分数投入了大量的自尊。(1)Put in more water，will you?再加些水，好吗？(2)He put in a claim for 500 damages.他提出一项五百英镑的赔偿要求。(3)If youre writing to your mother，dont forget to put in something about her coming to stay.你要是正给你的母亲写信的话，可别忘了再加上几句请她来住几天。(4)Could I put in a word at this point?在这点上我可以说句话吗？【参考答案】1.B2.A3.A4.D2016高考阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 Australian scientists are trying to give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sheep in order to cut the greenhouse gases they send out, which is thought to be responsible for global warming. Thanks to special bacteria in their stomachs, kangaroo flatulence (肠胃气胀） contains no methane(甲烷) and scientists want to transfer that bacteria to cattle and sheep who produce large quantities of the harmful gas. While the usual image of greenhouse gas pollution is a billowing smokestack, pushing out carbon dioxide, farm animals passing wind contribute a surprisingly high percentage of total emissions (排放物）in some countries. “Fourteen percent of emissions from all sources in Australia are from enteric methane from cattle and sheep,”said Athol Klieve, a senior research scientist with the greensland state government.“And if you look at another country such as New Zealand, which has got a much higher agricultural base, they are actually up around 50 percent,” he said. Researchers say the bacteria also make the digestive process much more efficient and could potentially save millions of dollars in feed costs for farmers. But it will take researchers at least three years to isolate (分离) the bacteria before they can even start to develop a way of transferring it to cattle and sheep. Another group of scientists, meanwhile, have suggested Australians should farm fewer cattle and sheep and just eat more kangaroos. And about 20 percent of health-conscious Australians are believed to eat the national symbol already. Its low in fat, it s got high protein levels and it is very clean in the sense that basically it is free-range(放养的) animal,” said Peter Ampt of the University of New South Wales institute of environmental studies.1.

The golden red sun was setting. She was on the beach, looking up at the fiery ball. She was amazed by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky. The atmosphere relaxed her. This was what she needed.“It is getting late.”she thought,“I must go home. My parents will be wondering where I am.” She wondered how her parents would react, when she got home after the three days she was missing. She kept on walking, and the road was deserted. She walked slowly and silently. Just in a few hundred meters she would have been safe in her house. It was really getting dark now. The sun had set a few minutes before and it was getting cold, too. She wished she had her favorite sweater on: it kept her really warm. She imagined having it with her. This thought disappeared when she finally saw her front door. It seemed different. Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days. She was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now. It all seemed deserted.

An animals, wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling was an important means of communication each other. There are different explants of a wolfs howl and it appears that there may be more to discover. One theory is that wolves howl to bend better together. Its almost as if howling together helps the pack stay together. Perhaps something similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when singing a song together . But this theory may be wrong, explains Fred H. Harington, a professor who studies wolf behavior. Indeed, there have been tines when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a exhorts, and the next, quarreling anions each other. It appears that usually the lowest-tanking menthes of the pack may actually be “punished” for Joining in the churs at times. So is howling a way to strcagthen a social boad or just a way to reconfirm status among its members? Why do welves howl for sure?What is cleat, however, is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other. Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that woloves may separate from one another at times. When this happens, howling appcars to be an ercellent means of gathering. Howling, interestingly, is a contagious behaviour. When one wolf starts to howl, very likely others will follow. This is often seen to occat in the morning, as if wolves were doing some sotr of “roll rall”where wolves all howl togeter to howl, very likely others will follow. This is often seen to occar in the morning, as if wolves were doing w some sotr of “roll call”where wolves all howl together to repotr their pteence.1.What the por similarity between wolves how humaes ting in chorus?A.The act of calling each other.
