Americans like to visit the national parks.In 1996, over 250,000,000 people visited areas which are managed by the National Park Service.Experts say that by 2012, 500,000,000 people per year will visit the parks.As a result, people are trying to think of ways to protect the parks from the crowds.The crowding of the parks has caused several problems.One is that there is not enough space for all of the people who want to use the parks.To deal with this problem, you may have to book your tickets a few months ahead of time.The Park Service may also raise entrance fees(费).Another problem caused by increased park use is pollution.Some garbage and waste can be cleaned up, and the cleanup can be paid for by increased entrance fees.To cut down on noise people may use buses to travel around the parks.Officials may also limit the use of jet-skis, snow-mobiles, motor-boats, and sightseeing helicopters and planes.The parks may also be in danger because of development that is going on around them.For example, around Yellow Stone Park, many hotels, golf courses, resorts, and other tourist attractions have been built.Some of these developments have effect on areas that are used by animals.People will have to learn to agree about ways to protect the parks.If they do not, there will soon be no reason to visit these national treasures.41.According to experts, by 2012 the number of visitors ______.A.may be doubledB.may rise to 50%

No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon（外科医生）and part of it taken out．Today，however，we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation．The sick person falls into a kind of sleep，and when he awakes，the operation is finished．But these happy conditions are fairly new．It is not many years since a man who had to have operation felt all its pain．

Long ago，operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything．The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him.He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off，and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched．

Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called “laughing gas”．Laughing gas became known in America．Young men and women went to parties to try it． Most of them spent their time laughing，but one man at a party，Horace Wells，noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were using this gas．He decided to make an experiment on himself．He asked a friend to help him．

Wells took some of the gas，and his friend pulled out one of Well’s teeth． Wells felt no pain at all．

As he didn't know enough about laughing gas，he gave a man less gas than he should have．The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out．

The work of scribes was not easy.Much of it had to be done fast in order to meet the needs of the King.the church and traders.Most of the writing was in Latin(拉丁),but some of it was in the English of the day.And no one was quite sure how some English words should be spelled.One problem was that several letters were written with short vertical strok（竖笔）that all looked like each other.Among them were the letters , i, u, v, m and n, Thus.five straight lines in a row might stand for uni nui uvi or mii.As a result.reading was sometimes difficult, especially when the writing was done in a hurry.The scribes solved(解决)the problem in part, by changing the letter u to o when it came before m.n or v.This is how sum and cum came lo be written as some and come.At some point, too, the scribes seemed to have decided that no English word should be ended by u or v.Thus, in time an e was added to such words as live, have, due and true.It was added, but not pronounced.36.Which of the following is true according to the passage? A.Everything has been written by hand in English since 1476.B.More than 500 years ago no people made a living by writing for other people.C.The church set up schools to train scribes before 1476.D.Scribes in England worked only for kings and traders.37.Which of the following is false?

A.Often the scribes had to work with great speed.B.The spelling of some English words was changed.D.Some scribes of the day were quite sure about the spelling of many English words.38.Sometimes people couldn’t read easily_____________.A.because there were too many u’s and v’s in sonic English words B.because most of the writing was in Latin C.when the writing was in English D.When tile writing was done hurriedly 39.The scribes changed u before m to o because A.the change helped them write faster B.the change made reading easier C.um and om had the same pronunciation D.om was the right order 40.It is believed that some scribes thought

A.it important to add an e to every English word B.the letter e at the end of any word shouldn't be pronounced C.it natural to change the spelling of sonic Latin words D.an English word should be ended neither by n nor by v I Man's First real inventions, and one of the most important inventions in history, was the wheel.All transportation and machine in the world depend on it.The wheel is the simplest yet but perhaps the most remarkable(值得注意的)of all inventions.Because there are no wheels in nature—no living thing was ever created with wheels.How, then, did man come to invent the wheel? Perhaps some early hunters found that they could roll the carcass(尸体)of a heavy animal through the forest on log more easily than they could carry it.However, the logs themselves weighed a lot.It must have taken a great prehistoric(史前的)thinker to imagine two thin slices(薄片)of log connected at their centers by a strong stick, this would roll along just as the logs did and axle came into being, and with them the first carts.41.The wheel is important because _______.it was man’s first real invention B.all transportation depends on it C.every machine depends on it D.both B and C 42.The wheel is called _______.A.simple B.complicated

C.strange D.unusual 43.It was remarkable of man to invent the wheel because ______.it led to many other inventions

That way work would be both painless and fun.Or, so we imagine.Well, in fact it isn’t quite as simple as that.Yes, it is true that being the boss has its satisfactions and that you can arrange your working hours freely if you own your own small business.But in those early years of starting your own business, you shouldn’t think of a free day, not to mention flying off for a month’s vacation.It is not unusual for new business owners to work seventy or eighty hours a week, and if there is a day off, that day might need to be devoted to accounting.But this negative picture doesn’t destroy the beautiful hopes.The possibility of getting something wonderful in return---both material and mental---continues to drive that large number of people who start up small businesses each year in the United States.52.From the first paragraph, we know that everybody hopes _____.A.to rule others B.to be his or her own boss C.to get a time work D.to be free from work 53.Most new business owners have to _______.A.work more than 10 hours a day B.devote himself to accounting C.fly to some places in the world D.have a day off in a week 54.The expression “negative picture” most probably means “_____________”.A.a terrible experience B.a poor picture C.limited freedom D.unpleasant situations 55.The beautiful hopes will never be destroyed because _____.A.people love beautiful things by nature B.people have a strong desire to seek personal gains C.small businesses make big money each year in the US D.small businesses have advantages over big companies M Giving backing Fair Way The Westborough High School golf team had taken the official photos with the state prize.The other teams, disappointed, were on the bus heading home.And then Westborough instructor Greg Rota noticed something wrong on one of the score cards.A 9 had been recorded as a 7.They were not the state prize winner;Wobum High had won.“No one would have known,” said Wobum’s instructor, Bob Doran.For Rota, it wasn’t difficult decision: “The prize wasn’t ours to take.” Coin Stars “College students are lazy, but they also want to help,” says University of Pennsylvania graduate Dana Hork.So she made it easy, placing cups in rooms where students could leave their spare coins, and handing out cups to first-year students to keep in their rooms.Her “Change for Change” effort has collected $40, 000 for charities(慈善机构), which were decided upon by students.Never Forgotten A school in Massachusetts received a $9.5 million check from Jacques LeBermuth.But it took officials several days of digging to discover his connection to the school.Records showed the on hard times, he was offered free room and board.LeBermuth became a trader, owned shares of AT&T and lived off the earnings until he died, at age 89.56.What did Greg Rota probably do in the end? A.Took photos of Doran B.Had meeting with Doran C.Returned the prize to the organizer D.Apologized to Wobum High school 57.Greg Rota’s decision shows that he was ______.A.honest B.polite C.careful D.friendly 58.The underlined word “change” in the second paragraph means _______.A.Idea B.Decision C.Cups D.Coins 59 What did the school officials do after receiving the check from Mr.LeBermuth?

68.Which of the following pictures shows the right positions of Canada and Mexico?(C== Canada M —Mexico)keys: BACDD P In the United States, it is not usual to telephone someone early in the morning.If you telephone early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention.So it is with the telephone calls made after 11:00 pm.If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he may think that it’s a matter of life and death.The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part.In the USA guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party reaches them only three or four days before the party date.But it is not true in all countries.In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meaning of time is not the same in different cultures that treat time differently;being on time is valued highly in American life, for example.If people are not on time, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible.In the USA no one would think of keeping a business friend for an hour;it would be too impolite.A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a shout apology.It he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.69．A call at midnight would mean_________.A.the matter is less important B.the matter is too difficult to handle C.the matter requires immediate attention D.it is a matter of life and death 70．According to the passage, time plays a very important part in_______.A.everyday life B.private life C.getting along with others D.business 71．In the passage, the author suggests that invitation cards should be sent________.A.three or four days before the party date in all cultures B.three or four days before the party date in some cultures C.three or four days before the party date in the USA D.at your chosen time Keys: DCB Q Napoleon agreed to plans for a tunnel(隧道)under the English Channel in 1802.The British began digging one in 1880.Neither tunnel was completed.Europe has had to wait until the end of the 20th century for the Channel Tunnel.After nearly two centuries of dreaming, the island of Great Britain is connected to Continental Europe for the first time since the Ice Age, when the two land masses moved apart.On May 6, 1994, Britain's Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ and France's President Mitterrand carried out the official opening.The Queen was accompanied(陪同)on her train journey through the historic tunnel by one of her Rolls-Royce cars which was placed on the train.The following day saw celebrations taking place in Folkestone and Calais.Regular public services did not start until the latter part of 1994.72．Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ________ at the opening.A．took her car Rolls-Royce through the tunnel B．took her car which was placed on her train through the tunnel C．took her train through the tunnel D．took Mitterrand's train through the tunnel 73．The island of Great Britain is ________.A．connected to France all the time B．separated from France with a tunnel C．separated from France all the time D．joined to France with the tunnel 74．Which of the following is right? A．Napoleon made plans for the tunnel.B．The public could pass through the tunnel by train after May 6, 1994.C．The tunnel was built for two centuries.D．The tunnel will do great good to Britain and France.75．Before 1994, one could go to Britain from France ________.A．only by ship B．by ship or plane C．by car or train D．by ship, car or train keys: DCBD R About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way.Women are luckier, only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter.Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!There are different forms of color blindness.In some cases a man can not see deep red.He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green.Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green.In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green-a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain.In a single eye there are millions of very small things called“cones”.These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors.There are also millions of“rods” but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark.They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors.Mosquitoes(蚊子)like blue but do not like yellow.y red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will.In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors.Yet we are lucky.With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night.One day we may even learn more about the invisible(看不见的)colors around.76．Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women? A．Women are more careful.B．There are few color-blind women.C．Women are fonder of driving than men.D．Women are weaker but quicker in thinking 77.This passage is mainly about ________.A．color and its surprising effects B．women being luckier than men C．danger caused by color blindness D．color blindness 78．According to the passage, with the help of the“cones”，we can ________.A．tell orange from yellow B．see in weak light C．kill mosquitoes D．tell different shapes 79．We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a ________.A．red light B．yellow light C．blue light D．green light keys:DABC

S Until late in the 20th century, most Americans spent time with people of generations.Now mid-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves.That’s because we group people by age.We put our three-year-olds together in day-care center, our 13-year-olds in school and sports activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior-citizen homes.Why? We live away from the old for many reasons: young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears for aging and dying.It is much harder to watch.someone we love disappear before our eyes.Sometimes it’s so hard that we stay away from the people who need us most.Fortunately,.some of us have found our way to the old.And we have discovered that they often save the young.A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people.At first her children were disappointed.But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbours and had her children deliver it and visit.Soon the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects.“My children have never been less lonely,” the reporter said.The young, in turn, save the old.Once I was in a rest home when a visitor showed up with a baby.She was immediately surrounded.People who hadn’t gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair.Even those who had seemed asleep wake up to watch the child.Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.Grandparents are a special case.They give grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity.As my husband put it, “my grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end.”

Grandchildren speak of attention they don’t get from worried parents.“My parents were always telling me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down,” one friend said.A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer, more trusting.80 Now in an American family, people can find that ____.A.children never live with their parents B.not all working people live with their parents C.aged people are supported by their grandchildren D.grandchildren are supported by their grandparents 81 The reason why old people are left alone may be that ____.A.the old don’t like to live in a big family

B.the young can’t get enough money to support the old

C.different generations have different lifestyles

D.the old are too weak to live with the young 82 The fact that the reporter told us shows that ___.A.old people in America lead a hard life B.old people in America enjoy banana bread C.she had no time to take care of her children D.old people are easy to get along with 83 Seeing a baby, the old people get excited because ____.A.they had never seen a baby before B.the baby was clever and beautiful C.the baby brought them the image of life D.the baby’s mother would take care of them

Why do children not get attention from their parents?

A.Because they often make trouble and make their parents disappointed.B.Because their parents are too busy to take care of them.C.Because their parents have to take care of their grandparents.D.Because their parents have been out of work for a long time.Keys: BCDCB

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。

Greenwich（格林威治）is on the River , five miles from the middle of London , and its history is two thousand years old.The first English people were fishermen there , and they named the place Greenwich , meaning “green village”.Later the English kings and queens lived at Greenwich in their beautiful places.The name of the earliest palace was Placentia.Its windows were made of glass---the first in England.Henry VIII lived there.He knew that England must be strong at sea.So he started two big ship-yards(船坞）at Greenwich ,and for 350 years the ships which were made there were the best in the world.But trouble was coming to Greenwich.In 1649 , a war started in England and for eleven years there was no king.The men who had worked for him at Placentia decided to live the place themselves.They sold all its beautiful things , and bought small pieces of the palace garden with money.Finally , the war ended and King Charles II came back.But Placentia was falling down.So King Charles built a new and bigger palace , which is now open to the public.At this time , Charles was worried about losing so many of its ships at sea : their sailors did not know how to tell exactly where they were.So in 1675 , Charles made John Flamsteed , the first astronomer(天文学家）in England , try to find the answer.Flamsteed worked in a new building on the high ground in Greenwich Park.From it with a telescope which he made himself , Flamsteed could look all round the sky.And he did , night after night , for twenty years.Carrying on Flamsteed's work a hundred years later , an astronomer called Harrison finally made a clock which told the time at sea , and helped sailors to know where they were.You can see Harrison's clock , still working , in Greenwich's museum of the sea.Because of Flamsteed's work , every country in the world now tells its time by Greenwich time.___45.The first English people living in the “green village” were _____.A.sailors B.fishermen C.King Charles and his family D.The families of king and queens ___46.Placentia was _____ palace in Greenwich.A.the biggest B.smallest C.the earliest D.the latest ___67.What kind of trouble came to Greenwich in 1649 ?
