On Tuesday, India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a series of new highproducing crop varieties, including herbicidetolerant rice that can be directly planted into the soil, cutting the huge expenses on water and farm workers.
In India, the world's biggest rice exporter, the traditional method of rice growing requires farmers to grow seeds in nurseries, and then wait for 20 to 30 days before transplanting the small plants by hand into the fields that are ankledeep in water.
With the new seed varieties developed by t he staterun Indian Agricultural Research Institute, farmers only need to water the fields once to moisten (使变得湿润) the soil before planting the rice. Besides, the traditional method also uses a lot of water to control weeds as herbicides are costly and often do not distinguish between the rice and the unwanted weeds.
Government scientists said the new rice varieties contain a gene that would allow farmers to spray a common, inexpensive herbicide without worrying about any side effects. “Our focus is very hi gh on new seeds that can be adapted to new conditions, especially in changing climates，” Modi said.
Water conservation is likely to be the main attraction of the new rice varieties in India, where farmers rely heavily on the monsoon (季风) rain. The traditional method uses 3，000 to 5，000 liters of water to produce 1 kg of rice. The new varieties could cut water use by at least 50% to 60%, farmers and government officials say. “For farmers like us, the main concern was the management of water, and the new varieties take care of that concern，” said Ravindra Kajal, who grows rice on his 9acre farmland in the northern state of Haryana. India is the world's secondlargest rice producer after China.
7．Which is the benefit of the new rice?
A．It can produce herbicides.
B．It can be planted in any field.
C．It needs a lot of water to grow.
D．It can save money for farmers.
8．Why can farmers apply a common herbicide to the new rice? A．The new rice contains herbicides itself.
B．The herbicide is suitable for all rice varieties.
C．The gene in the new rice can avoid harm from the herbicide. D．The herbicide can distinguish the rice from the weeds. 9．What plays an important role in riceplanting in India? A．Water. B．Temperature.
C．Wind. D．Sunlight.
10．What is the best title for the text?
A．India Launches New Herbicides
B．India Cuts Expenses on Farming
C．India Promotes New Rice Varieties
D．Farmers Appeal for New Rice Varieties

2023届阅读理阅读技巧专练:细节理解 （共5题） 一、阅读理解题（共5题） 1.By now, we are all aware that social media has had a tremendous influence on our culture, in business, on the world-at-large. Social media websites revolutionized the way people communicate and socialize on the Web. However, aside from seeing your friend's new baby on Facebook, or reading about Justin Bieber's latest conflict with the law on Twitter, what are some of the real influences? Social networks offer the opportunity for people to re-connect with their old friends and acquaintances, make new friends, share ideas and pictures, and many other activities. Users can keep pace with the latest global and local developments, and participate in campaigns and activities of their choices. Professionals use social media sites like LinkedIn to enhance their career and business development. Students can work together with their peers to improve their academic and communication skills. Unfortunately, there are a few downsides too to social networking. If you are not careful, immoral people can target you for cyber bullying and disturbance on social sites. School children, young girls, and women can fall victim to online attacks which can create tension and suffering. If you are a victim of cyber bullying, do not take it lying down, but try to take appropriate legal action against the attacker. Many companies have blocked social networks as addicted employees can distract themselves on such sites, instead of focusing on work. In fact, studies show that British companies have lost billions of dollars per year in productivity because of social media addiction among employees. Also, what you carelessly post on the Net can come back to trouble you. Revealing (泄露) personal information on social sites can make users vulnerable (易受伤害的) to crimes like identity theft, stalking, etc. Many companies perform a background check on the Net before hiring an employee. If a potential employee has posted something embarrassing on social media, it can greatly affect their chances of getting the job. The same holds true for our relationships too, as our loved ones and friends may get to know if we post something undesirable on social networks. Social media has its advantages and drawbacks as each coin has two sides. It is up to each user to use social sites wisely to enhance their professional and social life, and exercise caution to ensure they do not fall victim to online dangers. (1) Paragraph 2 mainly shows that social networks _____. A．help students finish their homework B．offer professionals good chances C．benefit users in various ways
细节理解题——间接信息类 A [2021·合肥市高三第二次教学质量检测]Ever since she received a little toy airliner as a birthday gift, Kate Korolevskaya has been attracted by flight. From flying remotecontrolled airplanes to building her own model ones, Kate has always considered flying a plane one of her passions, but only until recently has she been able to take that to new heights. When Kate heard about the Upwind Scholarship from her school counselor, she knew it was an extraordinary opportunity to realize her dream. The program's mission is to provide all the training necessary to obtain a private pilot's license (PPL) for students in between their junior and senior year of high school free of charge. After completing a lengthy application and her subsequent acceptance into the program, Kate began her training. Normally, recipients of the scholarship would attend ground school in person where they learn the fundamentals of flying. Due to the COVID19 pandemic (大流行病), however, Kate spent hours each weekend studying online lessons in her room whenever she got a break from homework. Once summer came around, Kate and three peers put in two straight weeks in ground school, reviewing flight training from nine to five every day. “It was the toughest part of the program，” Kate said. After completing that portion of ground school, Kate was finally able to begin flying at the San Carlos Airport with the other scholarship recipients from around the Bay Area. Flying, especially for firsttimers like Kate, is a handson process involving lots of checklists to make sure the important tasks are being taken care of. Now, having finished the program and earned her PPL, Kate plans on training as a flight instructor and hopes to become an airline pilot in her future. She credits the Upwind Scholarship with all she's been able to accomplish so far and hopes that anyone who shares her passion will look into it. “It is a very hard scholarship to get into, and you have to be truly interested in flight，” Kate said. “It can't be something like ‘Oh, why don't I try flying this summer？’ . You have to be ready to do a lot of work and put in effort in order to succeed in the program.” 1．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．Her skill of building model airplanes. B．Her wish to take flights around the world. C．Her dream of becoming a pilot. D．Her desire to fly remotecontrolled airplanes. 2．What is the goal of the Upwind Scholarship?

2023年英语阅读理解练习题和答案整理 英语考试中,同学经常由于基础学问的不坚固而失分，甚至影响到自己升学。下面我收集了有关英语阅读理解练习题及答案，供大家参考。 篇一：英语阅读理解练习（附答案） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 What would it be like to take a walk on the surface of Mars? If you could design the tallest building in the world, what would it look like? Do you dream of being the next J.K.Rowling? This summer, you can experience all of these things, and more. All you need is an Internet connection and your imagination. A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids spend an average of 1 hour and 29 minutes online each day. Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends, play games or check e-mails. But next time you get on the Web, try exploring the world instead. “With the Internet, you can go back 11,000 years in time, or go 11,000 kilometers across the planet,” said Russell, Web search expert of Google. “The whole scope of history and the world is open to you.” There is a wealth of information to be found online. For example, if your family is going on vacation somewhere, do a quick online search on the area before you even get in the car. “What’s the background of the place; what’s the history?” says Russell. “I like to tell my kids, ‘Whenever you have a question, whenever you have a doubt, search it out.’”
阅读理解 Preschool Girl Lifts Old Man’s Spirits When Tara Wood brought her daughter to a grocery store to buy the four-year-old some cupcakes, she had no idea that would be a life-changing experience. As Tara pushed her daughter Norah around the store last month, she passed an old man who was by himself. The old man looked cold, until Norah shouted to him, “Hi! It’s my birthday today!” The man stopped and his demeanor changed from distant and serious to warm and friendly. “How old are you today?” the man asked. After some time talking together, Norah asked her mom to take a picture of her with her new friend “Mr. Dan”, Dan Peterson, 82. They hugged and after ten minutes went their separate ways. That could have been the end of the story. But it is actually the beginning of a special relationship. Tara posted the picture of her daughter and Mr. Dan on Facebook and someone who recognized him reached out to her with his contact information. It turned out that Mr. Dan’s wife died in March and he had been suffering from depression and anxiety ever since. The person on Facebook told Tara that it was the first time they had seen Mr. Dan smile since the death of his wife. Knowing that, Tara contacted Mr. Dan, and ever since Norah and the 82-year-old have developed a friendship unlike any other. “She has shown me a depth of love, a depth that I didn’t know existed,” Mr. Dan told the reporter. Mr. Dan told Tara that before meeting Norah, he hadn’t had one night of uninterrupted sleep. Anxiety kept him up at all hours and made him restless. After meeting Norah, he said he now sleeps soundly. For Mr. Dan’s 82nd birthday on October 20, the mother and the daughter brought balloons and presents — and, of course, cupcakes. Mr. Dan will also spend a day around Thanksgiving with Norah and her family. “If you don’t take the time to notice people, you will never know how you can positively impact a life,” Tara Wood said. 1．Mr. Dan looked cold because ________. A．he felt lonely B．he disliked little kids C．nobody had hugged him D．he knew little about Norah 2．How did Tara know more about Mr. Dan? A．From a news reporter.B．From a stranger.

The arugula (芝麻菜)was to make a nice green
salad, rounding out a roast chicken dinner. But I ended up working late. Then friends called with a dinner invitation. I stuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought way too much; I could have made six salads with what I threw out. In a world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry, “food waste goes against the moral grain,” as Elizabeth Royte writes in this month’s cover story. It’s jaw-dropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away —from “ugly” (but quite eatable) vegetables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans. Producing food that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other resources used to grow it. That makes food waste an environmental problem. In fact, Royte writes, “if food waste were a country, it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world.” If that’s hard to understand, let’s keep it as simple as the arugula at the back of my refrigerator. Mike Curtin sees my arugula story all the time — but for him, it's more like 12 bones of donated strawberries nearing their last days. Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington, D.C., which recovers food and turns it into healthy meals. Last year it recovered more than 807,500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished (有瑕疵的) produce that otherwise would have rotted in fields. And the strawberries? V olunteers will wash, cut, and freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road. Such methods seem obvious, yet so often we just don’t think. “Everyone can play a part in reducing waste, whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the side dish you won’t eat,” Curtin says. 5. What is a consequence of food waste according to the test? A. Moral decline. B. Environmental harm. C. Energy shortage. D. Worldwide starvation. 【题干定位】关键词a consequence of food waste 【文章定位】（第三段）Producing food that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other resources used to grow it. That makes food waste an environmental problem. 【相同关键词】food waste 【答案定位】food waste is an environmental problem 【正确选项】B. Environmental harm 6. What does Curtin’s company do?
