After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep ou t to graze (吃草). I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses.Th ey looked really cool.
In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don’t be late for supper,”Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost!”“OK!”my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It wa s so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene.

After the accident .my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I?d have to have a good lawyer.

高一英语阅读理解试题（生态、环保类） 生态类 (1) A Wolf in Danger What is happening to the timber wolf today? Native Americans and early settlers often went to sleep to the sound of a lonely lullaby(催眠曲). It was the song of the wolf howling in a distant forest. There were many wolves then. One kind was the North American timber wolf. Wolves are important to the balance of nature because they eat sick and weak animals. In Colorado, people tried to help deer by shooting wolves. But then there were so many deer that many of them starved to death. The timber wolf is on the endangered special list. Animals on this list are in danger of disappearing from the earth. People drove the wolves away by cutting down the forests to build houses, towns, and highways. Timber wolves are now found only in Canada, Alaska, Michigan, and Minnesota. This special animal may soon disappear from our forests forever. Then, its lonely howl will never be heard again. 1. Animals that are in danger of disappearing from the earth are called a _______species. A. endangered B. living C. alive D. lived 2. Wolves help the balance of nature because they _______. A. are an endangered species B. eat sick and weak animals C. no longer live in forests D. help the farmers 3. At one time, the timber wolf was found _______. A. in many parts of North America B. only in Colorado and Canada C. in towns and cities in Alaska D. in many parts of Africa 4. Which of the following happened first? A.

高一英语阅读理解题20套(带答案) 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Even a small increase in light activity such as washing dishes, or walking around the house might help prevent an early death among older adults, researchers say. "It is important for elderly people, who might not be able to do much moderate intensity（强度）activity, that just moving around and doing light intensity activity will have strong effects and is beneficial," said Ulf Ekelund, who led the research. Published in the BMJ, the latest research was based on a review of eight studies involving a total of more than 36,000 people with an average age of almost 63 years. Participants were followed for five to six years; 2,149 deaths were recorded. All of the studies involved monitoring the physical activity of individuals who had activity trackers, and the studies did not rely on self-reporting, which, the experts noted, could be unreliable. For each study participants were split into four equal-sized groups, based on the total amount of time spent actively, and the risk of death assessed, taking into account factors such as age, sex, body mass index, and socioeconomic status. This was then repeated for an amount of activity at different levels of intensity. The results were analyzed together to give an overview. The team found a greater amount of activity was linked to a lower risk of death. The results held for different intensities of activity. The team said the study supported the message "sit less and move more and more often". However, the study had limitations. It only looked at the situation for middle age and older adults, most of whom lived in the US or Europe, and some of the effect could be due to those people with a higher risk of death being less likely to be related to physical activity. Physical activity levels also were only measured over one period of time. Dr Gavin Sandercock, from the University of Essex, said the results suggested moving more brought bigger benefits than simply reducing the time of sitting, another factor measured in the study. "This study reinforces the important message that getting the least active people to do even just a little bit more physical activity can have important public health benefits," he said. （1）Which of the following may Ulf Ekelund suggest elderly people do? A.lying on the sofa reading. B.Doing a little gentle gardening. C.Going out to hike with friends. D.Playing basketball sometimes. （2）What can we know about the research? A.It lasted about 8 years. B.The researchers admitted they used fake data. C.The participants didn't include younger people. D.Some participants died because of doing too much physical activity （3）What is the author's attitude towards the researchers' conclusion? A.Doubtful

What is the best title for/of the passage? 2. What can be inferred from the passage? 3. What does the author mainly tell us about in the text？ 4. What is mainly discussed in the article/passage/text? 概括主旨大意的方法有： A：寻找主题句，有些段落大意在主题句上。 答案多在文章的首句或末句 主题句有的在句首，有的在段中，有的在段尾。 B：寻找关键词，有些段落大意就散落在关键词上。（略读或扫读） 将阅读重点放在首尾部分。（一则省时间，二则目标明确，正确率自然 也相应提高了）。 掌握了找主题句的方法，就可以依据主题句归纳主题。但归纳主题容易出现以下三种错误，需要同学们注意。 1．以偏概全。即只抓住了主题的一个侧面就误以为是主题。 2．过于笼统。即归纳的主题太泛，与细节脱节或是没有对细节加以充分论证。 3．把观点强加给作者。读者往往根据自己的常识对文章进行判断而忽视了作者的见解。
（英语）高一英语阅读理解试题(有答案和解析)及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Three boys were enjoying themselves in their hometown of Bovina, Mississippi .However, their lives were turned upside down when they discovered the jawbone of a Mastodon (齿乳象). Brothers Shawn and Caid Sellers and cousin Michael Mahalitc found the prehistoric bone in a piece of earth that was recently plowed (犁、耕)."I thought it was a log," Caid said. "I tried to pick it up and it was really heavy and I saw teeth on it." The bone weighed about 50 pounds. They eventually got the bone to their home and fitted it in their tub (浴盆), but it took their collective strength, might and a golf cart, to carry the large Mastodon bone. "They didn't expect to find that," Michael's mom said. "Now that they have, I believe that they will be more aware of their surroundings and what they're digging up when they are digging and playing." "We've gotten a lot of petrified (石化的) wood and Civil War relics from the area and that's what I thought it was," the brothers' mother said. "This is our first set of teeth we've found. So we thought it was their imagination. We were quite surprised to see that it was not their imagination." They were exploring near the brothers' home. Lo and behold (真想不到), they saw what they thought resembled a fossil. It was the curator of paleontology (古生物负责人) of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, George Phillips, who first identified the bone as a "very mature individual." The Mastodon was a mammal who lived during the prehistoric times. They had long tusks and trunks, like elephants. They were clearly different from their modern-day counterparts, as well as woolly mammoths (猛犸). （1）How did they find the jawbone of a Mastodon? A. With great efforts. B. By chance. C. Instructed by an expert. D. Through imagination. （2）At first the brothers' mother thought the jawbone was . A. from people who died in the Civil War B. the bone from a very mature individual C. like a log or something D. the prehistoric bone （3）The discovery of the jawbone of a Mastodon is important mainly because it . A. helps people to know more about the Civil War B. teaches kids to be more aware of their surroundings C. promotes the research on more prehistoric creatures D. attracts the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science （4）Which of the following can be the best title for the article? A. Prehistoric Bones Recently Found in Mississippi B. Not Petrified Wood Nor Civil War Relics C. First Identifying Bone as a "Very Mature Individual" D. Unexpectedly Discovering Mastodon Jawbone 【答案】（1）B
