A.The world is not hungry , but it is thirsty.It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of(短缺)water.Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can't drink or use for watering plants directly(直接地).Man can only drink and use the 3%-the water that comes from rivers and lakes.And we can't even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted(污染).Now more water is needed.The problem is: Can we avoid(避免)a serious water shortage later on? First, we should all learn how to save water.Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it.Scientists have always been making studies in the field.Today, in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers.But it can be used again.Even if(即使)every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough.What could people turn to next?

The sea seems to have the best answer.There is a lot of water in the sea.All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water.This is expensive, but it's already used in many parts of the world.Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it.So you see, if we can find a way out, we'll be in no danger of drying up..The world is thirsty because ________.A.3/4 of the earth is covered with water

B.we have enough sea water to use directly

C.we haven't used all the water in rivers and lakes

D.about 97% of water on the earth can't be drunk or used for watering plants directly

A.3% of water on the earth is in rivers and lakes.B.75% of water on the earth is the sea.C.97% of the earth is covered with water.D.3% of water on the earth is sea water.3.From the passage we learn _________.A.if every city reuses its water, we'll be in no danger of drying up

B.man can only drink and use about 25% of water on the earth

C.today in most large cities water is used only once

D.water can be used only once.To avoid the serious water shortage , which of the following is the

We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers.Our car was full of flowers inside!On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights , and there my wife saw the bookshelf.It stood outside a furniture(家具)shop.“Buy it,” she said at once.“We'll carry it home on the roof-rack(车顶架).I've always wanted one like that.”

What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof-rack.It was tall and narrow, quite heavy too.As it was getting darker, I drove slowly.Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening.The police even stopped traffic to let us through.Carrying furniture was a good idea.After a time my wife said, “There's a long line of cars behind.Why don't they overtake(超车)?”

Just at that time a police car did overtake.The two officers(警官)inside looked at us seriously when they went past.But then , with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic.The police car stopped at our village church(教堂).One of the offices came to me.“Right, sir, ” he said.“Do you need any more help now?”

I didn't quite understand.“Thanks, officer, ” I said.“You've been very kind.I lived just down the road.”

He was looking at our things: first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf.“Well, Well, ” he said and laughed.“It's a bookshelf you've got there!We thought it was-er, something else.”

My wife began to laugh.Suddenly I understood why the police drove here.I smiled at the officer.“Yes, it's a bookshelf, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could..From the story we know that ___________.A.the writer was poor and didn't buy the bookshelf for his wife

B.the writer's wife didn't like the bookshelf at all

A.He could drive slowly and it was safe.B.Other drivers would let him go first.C.His wife could use a new bookshelf.D.He could save a lot of money and time..Why were the police and other drivers so kind to the writer?

A.Because they thought the writer liked studying very much and needed a bookshelf.B.Because they didn't think it was polite to overtake a car with a bookshelf on it.C.Because they thought somebody in the writer's family had died and he needed help.D.Because they thought it was dangerous to carry a bookshelf on a car.4.Why did the writer's wife begin to laugh?

A.Because now she knew what mistake the police had made.B.Because at last her husband understood why the police had driven to the church.C.Because the officer was always looking at the flowers and the bookshelf.D.Because the police had helped them a lot..When did the officers begin to realize(意识到)they had made a mistake?

A.Before they arrived at the church.B.Before they overtook the writer's car

C.After one of them looked at the flowers and the bookshelf carefully at the church.D.After the writer's family left the church.参考答案

No, it's her hat.Where's her bag? It's on the bed, too.1.Whose(谁的)room is it? 2.Is the room big or small?

3.What's on the wall?

4.Where are the flowers?

5.What colour is Betty's hat?

参考答案

解答：阅读题对于初学者来说略有困难。学生希望直接从文章中找到答案。有的题可以但有的题却不能。这篇文章介绍的是一幅画。没有提到房间是Betty的，但所介绍的物品与她有关，故房间是Betty的。

1、答案为It's Betty's.2、文章的第二句表明房间小，故答案为It's small.3、墙上除了有英国地图外，旁边还有一张照片，故答案为There is a map of England and a photo.4、文章没有说花在桌子上，但钟在桌子上，花在它的旁边，当然花在桌子上，故答案为They're on the table.5、文章也没讲Betty的帽子是什么颜色，但把床上的帽子误认为黑色的猫。由此可见她的帽子是黑色的，故答案为It's black.(6)

第三篇：英语阅读理解试题与答案

Lead Pollution Lead deposits, which accumulated in soil and snow during the 1960’s and 70’s, were primarily the result of leaded gasoline emissions originating in the United States.In the twenty years that the Clean Air Act has mandated unleaded gas use in the United States, the lead accumulation worldwide has decreased significantly.A study published recently in the journal Nature shows that air-borne leaded gas emissions from the United States were the leading contributor to the high concentration of lead in the snow in Greenland.The new study is a result of the continued research led by Dr.Charles Boutron, an expert on the impact of heavy metals on the environment at the National Center for Scientific Research in France.A study by Dr.Boutron published in 1991 showed that lead levels in arctic(北极的)snow were declining.In his new study, Dr.Boutron found the ratios of the different forms of lead in the leaded gasoline used in the United States were different from the ratios of European, Asian and Canadian gasolines and thus enabled scientists to differentiate(区分)the lead sources.The dominant lead ratio found in Greenland snow matched that found in gasoline from the United States.In a study published in the journal Ambio(人类环境杂志), scientists found that lead levels in soil in the Northeastern United States had decreased markedly since the introduction of unleaded gasoline.Many scientists had believed that the lead would stay in soil and snow for a longer period.The authors of the Ambio study examined samples of the upper layers of soil taken from the same sites of 30 forest floors in New England, New York and Pennsylvania in 1980 and in 1990.The forest environment processed and redistributed the lead faster than the scientists had expected.Scientists say both studies demonstrate that certain parts of the ecosystem(生态系统)respond rapidly to reductions in atmospheric pollution, but that these findings should not be used as a license to pollute.1.The study published in the journal Nature indicates that A.the US is the major source of lead pollution in arctic snow.B.the Clean Air Act has not produced the desired results.C.lead will stay in soil and snow longer than expected.D.lead deposits in arctic snow are on the increase.正确答案:A 解析:问题问的是：自然杂志上刊登的研究表明什么?第二段开头提到自然杂志上刊登的研究表明从产自美国通过空气传播的含铅气体排放是导致格陵兰雪地中铅浓度高的主要原因。而格陵兰就是位于北极圈内。因此A正确，美国是北极雪中铅污染的主要来源。2.Lead accumulation worldwide decreased significantly after the use of unleaded gas in the US A.was discouraged.B.was prohibited by law.C.was enforced by law.D.was introduced.正确答案:C 解析:美国法律强制使用无铅汽油后，世界范围的铅金属积累量明显减少了。第一段最后一句话支持这一说法，注意，文中的“mandated”与C选项中的“enforced”意思相同，都是“强制”的意思。

3.How did scientists discover the source of lead pollution in Greenland A.By analyzing the data published in journals like Nature and Ambio.B.By comparing the chemical compositions of leaded gasoline used in various countries.C.By observing the lead accumulations in different parts of the arctic area.D.By studying the chemical elements of soil and snow in Northeastern America.正确答案:B 解析:问题问的是：科学家是怎样发现格陵兰的铅污染来源的?第三段提到科学家发现美国汽油中的各种铅金属比重不同于欧洲，亚洲和加拿大的。通过比较这些铅比的不同判断出格陵兰雪中铅污染主要来自美国。中医眼科高级职称考试宝典因此B正确。4.The authors of the Ambio study have found that A.forests get rid of lead pollution faster than expected.B.lead deposits are widely distributed in the forests of the US.C.lead accumulations in forests are more difficult to deal with.D.the upper layers of soil in forests are easily polluted by lead emissions.正确答案:A 解析:问题问的是：人类环境杂志研究的作者发现了什么?倒数第二段结尾提到森林环境处理铅的速度之快超出科学家们的预期。因此A正确。5.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that scientists A.feel relieved by the use of unleaded gasoline.B.are puzzled by the mystery of forest pollution.C.lack sufficient means to combat lead pollution.D.still consider lead pollution a problem.正确答案:D 解析:问题问的是：通过最后一段能推测出什么?最后一段提到了两项研究说明了某些生态系统对大气污染的减少给出了快速的回应，但是这并不能作为进一步的污染行为的许可证。因此D正确，科学家们仍然认为铅污染是个问题。

伤仲永 [宋]王安石

金溪民方仲永，世隶耕。仲永生五年，未尝识书具，忽啼求之。父异焉，借旁近与之，即书诗四句，并自为其名。其诗以养父母、收族为意，传一乡秀才观之。自是指物作诗立就，其文理皆有可观者。邑人奇之，稍稍宾客其父，或以钱币乞之。父利其然也，日扳仲永环谒于邑人，不使学。

余闻之也久。明道中，从先人还家，于舅家见之，十二三矣。令作诗，不能称前时之闻。又七年，还自扬州，复到舅家问焉。曰：“泯然众人矣。”

王子曰：仲永之通悟，受之天也。其受之天也，贤于材人远矣。卒之为众人，则其受于人者不至也。彼其受之天也，如此其贤也，不受之人，且为众人；今夫不受之天，固众人，又不受之人，得为众人而已耶？

天气那么暖和，那么晴朗！

画眉在树林边宛转地唱歌；锯木厂后边草地上，普鲁士士兵正在操练。这些景象，比分词用法有趣多了；可是我还能管住自己，急忙向学校跑去。

……

我一纵身跨过板凳就坐下。我的心稍微平静了一点儿，我才注意到，我们的老师今天穿上了他那件挺漂亮的绿色礼服，打着皱边的领结，戴着那顶绣边的小黑丝帽。这套衣帽，他只在督学来视察或者发奖的日子才穿戴。而且整个教室有一种不平常的严肃的气氛。最使我吃惊的，后边几排一向空着的板凳上坐着好些镇上的人，他们也跟我们一样肃静。其中有郝叟老头儿，戴着他那顶三角帽，有从前的镇长，从前的邮递员，还有些别的人。个个看来都很忧愁。郝叟还带着一本书边破了的初级读本，他把书翻开，摊在膝头上，书上横放着他那副大眼镜。

我看见这些情形，正在诧异，韩麦尔先生已经坐上椅子，像刚才对我说话那样，又柔和．．又严肃地对我们说：“我的孩子们，这是我最后一次给你们上课了。柏林已经来了命令，阿．．尔萨斯和洛林的学校只许教德语了。新老师明天就到。今天是你们最后一堂法语课，我希望你们多多用心学习。”

我听了这几句话，心里万分难过。啊，那些坏家伙，他们贴在镇公所布告牌上的，原来就是这么一回事！

（二）我的老师董秋芳先生

季羡林

①想得最多的是董秋芳先生。

②董先生是我在济南高中时的国文教员，笔名冬芬。胡也频先生被国民党通缉后离开了高中，再上国文课时，来了一位陌生的教员，个子不高，相貌也没有什么惊人之处，一只手还似乎有点毛病，说话绍兴口音颇重，不很容易懂。但是，他的笔名我们却是熟悉的。他翻译过一本苏联小说：《争自由的波浪》，鲁迅先生作序，他写给鲁迅先生的一封长信，我们在报刊上读过，现在收在《鲁迅全集》中。因此，面孔虽然陌生，但神交却已很久。这样一来，大家处得很好，也自是意中事了。

③在课堂上，他同胡先生完全不同。他不讲什么“现代文艺”，也不宣传革命，只是老老实实地讲书，认真小心地改学生的作文。他也讲文艺理论，却不是弗里茨，而是日本厨川白村的《苦闷的象征》、《出了象牙之塔》，都是鲁迅先生翻译的。他出作文题目很特别，往往只在黑板上大书“随便写来”四个字，意思自然是，我们愿意写什么，就写什么；愿意怎样写，就怎样写，丝毫不受约束，有绝对的写作自由。

④有一次，在董先生的作文课堂上，我在“随便写来”的启迪下，写了一篇记述我回故乡的作文。感情真挚，自不待言。在谋篇布局方面却没有意识到有什么特殊之处。作文本发下来了，却使我大吃一惊，先生在作文本每一页的空白处都写了一些批注，不少地方有这样的话：“一处节奏”“又一处节奏”，等等。我真是如拨云雾见青天：“这真是我写的作文吗？”这真是我的作文，不容否认。“我为什么没有感到有什么节奏呢？”这也是事实，不容否认。我的苦心孤诣连自己都没有意识到的，却被董先生和盘托出。知己之感，油然而生。这决定．．．．了我一生的活动。从那以后，六十年来，我从事研究的是一些稀奇古怪的东西，与文章写作风马牛不相及。但是感情一受到剧烈的震动，所谓“心血来潮”，则立即拿起笔来，写点什么。至今已到垂暮之年，仍然是积习难除，锲而不舍。这同董先生的影响是绝对分不开的。我对董先生的知己之感，将伴我终生了。

⑤五十年代初，在民盟一次会议上，完全出乎我意料，我竟见到了董先生，他已垂垂老矣。我激动得说不出话来，他也非常激动。但是我平生有一个弱点：不善于表露自己的感情。董先生看来也是如此。我们每个人心里都揣着一把火，表面上却颇淡漠，大有君子之交淡如水之概了。

⑥我生平还有一个弱点，我曾多次提到过，这就是，我不喜欢拜访人。这两个弱点加在一起，就产生了致命的后果：我同我平生感激最深、敬意最大的老师的关系，看上去有点若即若离了。

⑦不记得是什么时候了，董先生退休了，离京回到了老家绍兴。这时大概正处在十年浩劫期间，我是泥菩萨过江，自身难保。自顾不暇，没有余裕来想到董先生了。

⑧又过一些时候，听说董先生已经作古。乍听之下，心里震动得非常剧烈。一霎时，心中几十年的回忆、内疚、苦痛，蓦地抖动起来，我深自怨艾，痛悔不已。然而已经发生过的事情是无法挽回的。看来我只能抱恨终天了。等我们两个隔世相遇的时候，我相信，我的两个弱点经过地狱的磨练已经克服得相当彻底，我一定能向他表露我的感情，一定常去拜访他，做一个程门立雪的好弟子。

⑨然而，这一些都是可能的吗？这不是幻想又是什么呢？“他生未卜此生休”。我怅望．．青天，眼睛里溢满了泪水。

第五篇：2012年考研英语阅读理解及答案解析11

2012年考研英语阅读理解及答案解析11

难句分析：

难句1 A lateral move that hurt my pride and blocked my professional progress promoted me to abandon my relatively high profile career although, in the manner of a disgraced government minister, I covered my exit by claiming “I wanted to spend more time with my family”.［分析］此句主干是“a lateral move promoted me to...”。其中that hurt my pride and blocked my professional progress是a lateral move的定语，although, in the manner of a disgraced http:///kcnet1480/ government minister, I covered my exit by claiming “I wanted to spend more time with my family”是状语，其中逗号之间的in the manner of a disgraced government minister是插入语。

［译文］一次平级的人事调动伤了我的自尊心，并阻断了我的事业发展，这促使我放弃自己地位较高的职业，尽管就像面子扫尽的政府部长那样，我也掩饰说“我只想与家人更多的呆在一起”。

难句2 Curiously, some twoandahalf years and two novels later, my experiment in what the Americans term “downshifting” has turned my tired excuse into an absolute reality.［分析］此句主干是“...my experiment...has turned my tired excuse into an absolute reality”。注意其谓语是一个turn sth.into sth.的结构。前面两个逗号之间的是时间状语。

［译文］奇怪的是，大约两年半的时间我写完两部小说后，我这个被美国人称为“放慢生活节奏”的试验，却使我老掉牙的借口变成了现实。

难句3 I have discovered, as perhaps Kelsey will after her muchpublicized resignation from the editorship of She after a buildup of stress, that abandoning the doctrine of “juggling your life”, and making the alternative move into “downshifting” brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status.［分析］此句中I have discovered是主句的主谓结构，that abandoning the doctrine of “juggling your life”, and making the alternative move into “downshifting” brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status是主句的宾语，其中abandoning the doctrine of “juggling your life”, and making the alternative move into “downshifting”为该宾语从句的主语，brings为谓语。as perhaps Kelsey will after her muchpublicized resignation from the editorship of She after a buildup of stress既是伴随状语，又是插入语，其主语为Kelsey，谓语为will，而after her muchpublicized

resignation from the editorship of She after a buildup of stress是本插入语中的时间状语。［译文］我已经发现（由于压力过大，凯茜已公开宣称辞去《她》杂志编辑的职务，在这之后她也许会有同样发现），放弃“忙忙碌碌”的生活哲学，转而过一种“放慢生活节奏”的生活所带来的回报，比经济成功和社会地位更有价值。

难句4 Downshifting—also known in America as “voluntary simplicity”—has, ironically, even bred a new area of what might be termed anticonsumerism.［分析］此句主干是“Downshifting has bred a new area...”，破折号之间的是插入结构，ironically也是插入语，可放在句首，what相当于thought which。

［译文］具有讽刺意味的是，“放慢生活节奏”——在美国也称“甘愿简朴”——甚至孕育了一个崭新的、可称之为反消费主义的生活方式。

难句5 For the women of my generation who were urged to keep juggling through the ’80s, downshifting in the mid’90s is not so much a search for the mythical good life—growing your own organic vegetables, and risking turning into one—as a personal recognition of your limitations.［分析］此句主干是“...downshifting in the mid’90s is not...”。其中who were urged to keep juggling through the ’80s是修饰the women of my generation的定语从句。growing your own http:///kcnet1480/ organic vegetables, and risking turning into one既是插入语，又是the mythical good life的同位语。本句中not so much A（a search for the mythical good life）as B（a personal recognition of your limitations）的句式含义，即“与其说是A，不如说是B”。

［译文］对我们这一代女性来说，整个80年代我们曾被迫忙碌地生活，90年代中期的简化生活与其说是寻找那种自己种有机蔬菜并试图与之合一的神话般美好生活，还不如说是对我们自身局限性的认识。

本文的主题是慢节奏（downshifting）的生活方式。作者以第一人称的口吻叙述了自身生活方式转变的过程，谈及慢节奏的生活方式在美国的发展情况，并剖析了这种现象背后的原因。

试题解析：

67.根据第一段，下面哪项说法正确？

［A］ 全职工作是一种新的国际潮流。

［B］ 作者因环境所迫而辞去工作。

［C］ “一次平级调动”意味着退出专职工作。

［D］ 作者只是太想多花时间与其家人在一起了。

判断题【正确答案】 ［B］

作者在第一段中说明她放弃工作时，根本没想到自己会成为一种新兴时尚的一分子，她辞职是因为一次平级的人事调动伤害了她的自尊心，妨碍了她的事业发展。可见，作者的辞职是出于环境所迫，所以［B］项是正确答案。

68.作者的实践表明：降低节奏。

［A］ 使她能够实现自己的梦想

［B］ 帮助她形成了一种新的人生观

［C］ 促使她放弃了自己很高的社会地位

［D］ 使她接受了《她》杂志所倡导的生活哲学

细节事实题【正确答案】 ［B］

第二段中作者提到自己已经是一个由信奉“拥有一切”生活哲学的人转变或一个知足常乐的人，对于作者而言，“慢节奏”的生活方式是一种新的生活哲学。因此选择［B］项。

69.“Juggling one’s life”可能指的是过一种具有特性的生活。

［A］ 不追求物质利益的生活方式［B］ 很容易满足

［C］ 极度紧张［D］ 反消费主义

词汇题【正确答案】 ［C］

在第三段第一句，juggling one’s life与downshifting恰好是相对立的两种生活方式，说明她从a buildup of stress取得的financial success and social status远不及

downshifting给她带来的回报多，因此选择［C］项。

70.根据本文的观点，美国出现放慢生活节奏的原因是。

［A］ 现代生活的快节奏［B］ 人们的冒险精神

［C］ 人们对神话般生活体验的追求［D］ 经济形势

细节事实题【正确答案】 ［D］

第五段第一句话指出，在美国，产生这种慢节奏生活方式是源于20世纪80年代末期因为经济萧条而进行的裁员。当时采取这种措施是为了应对这种经济衰退。因此选择［D］项。

全文翻译：

当我决定辞去自己的全日制工作时绝没有想到，自己竟成了一种新的国际性潮流的一分子。一次平级的人事调动伤了我的自尊心，并阻断了我的事业发展，这促使我放弃自己地位较高的职业，尽管就像面子扫尽的政府部长那样，我也掩饰说“我只想与家人更多的呆在一起”。

奇怪的是，大约两年半的时间我写完两部小说后，我这个被美国人称为“放慢生活节奏”的试验，却使我老掉牙的借口变成了现实。我已从一个“拥有一切”哲学（琳达•凯茜过去七年中在《她》这本杂志所宣扬的）的狂热支持者，变成了一个知足常乐的女人。我已经发现（由于压力过大，凯茜已公开宣称辞去《她》杂志编辑的职务，在这之后她也许会有同样发现），放弃“忙忙碌碌”的生活哲学，转而过一种“放慢生活节奏”的生活所带来的回报，比经济成功和社会地位更有价值。什么也说服不了我回到过去那种凯茜所宣扬的、我也曾自得其乐的生活中去：每天12小时的工作日，压得人喘不过气来的最后期限，可怕而紧张的办公室的尔虞我诈，在“最佳时期”为人父母的限制。

第一至第三段：作者介绍了自己从忙碌生活过渡到悠闲生活的缘由，及经过。

在美国，摆脱忙碌，转而过一种简单、更远离物质化的生活已成明确趋势。具有讽刺意味的是，“放慢生活节奏”——在美国也称“甘愿简朴”——甚至孕育了一个崭新的、可称之为反消费主义的生活方式。对于那些想简单生活的人来说，有许多很畅销的帮你轻松生活的自助书籍；有各种简讯，例如省钱简报，会给美国人提供成千上万条有用的点子去做事，从保鲜膜的再利用到自制肥皂；甚至还有一些支援性团体，帮人按90年代中期脱离传统社会的人的生活方式去生活。

第四段：通过举例论证，简单悠闲生活已经在美国成为一种趋势。

在美国，这种趋势一开始是对经济衰落所做出的一种反应——出现于20世纪80年代后期，企业缩小经济规模所引起的大规模裁员——也与节俭的观点密切相连；在英国，至少在我所熟悉的中产阶级慢节奏生活的人中，我们对于为什么寻求简朴的生活有不同的原因。

第五段：作者指出赞成这种趋势的原因。

对我们这一代女性来说，整个80年代我们曾被迫忙碌地生活，90年代中期的简化生活与其说是寻找那种自己种有机蔬菜并试图与之合一的神话般美好生活，还不如说是对我们自身局限性的认识。

第六段：指明作者追求闲适生活的真正原因。
