On a hot African morning, Leila was lying on her stomach and an elephant was walking towards her. Leila waited. Then she pushed the button on her camera. “And I got my best photo of an elephant ever, by lying under my car,” Leila explained. “I wanted to get close to the elephants, but of course this was dangerous; they had their babies with them. So every morning I used to park my car in the open near the path (小道). They used to take the same path every morning when they left the water hole. After a week, they were used to seeing my car. So the next morning, I lay under it and got my photo!”
Many of the best wildlife photos come from good planning. In Africa, photographers set up their hides (隐匿处) near water holes. They also set up hides near forest paths, as animals use the same paths every night. For bird-watching, many lakes have hides. Inside the hides, bird-watchers can watch all day in the shade (荫处) out of the wind and rain.
Good wildlife photos are needed for books, postcards, magazines and newspapers. But
a success rate of 1 in 20 is good.
1. Why did Leila lie under her car on the stomach?
A. Because she wanted to
sleep.
B. Because she wanted to take photos but was afraid of the animals.
C. Because it’s easy to see the elephants.
D. Because it’s very comfortable.
2. How can photographers take good photos?
A. By making good
preparation.
B. By going into the forest at night.
C. By walking around the
holes.
D. By going to the nearest lake.
3.Which of the following statements is right according to the passage?
A. All animals go to water holes at night.
B. Lakes are good place for bird-watching.
C. Leila used her car to prevent the sunshine.
D. Animals pay no attention to photographers.
4. What can we know from the underlined sentence?
A. The successful rate of taking wildlife photos is 50% at most.
B. Photographers who take wildlife photos need more practice.
C. To take good wildlife photos is not difficult.

More and more birds are flying to settle at Qinghai Lake, one of the highest inland lakes in China, thanks to the protection efforts of local governments. Covering an area of over 4,000 square kilometers, Qinghai Lake is also the country’s biggest salt-water lake.
Located in Northwest China’s Qinghai Province, the lake is famous for the two islands at its northwest point--Cormorant Island and Egg Island.
The two islands have plenty of floating grass and various schools of fish, offering rich food sources for birds. The islands have become a paradise for different kinds of groups of birds and have been called ‘Bird Islands’.
Each March and April, when ice and snow covering the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau starts to melt, over 20 kinds of birds fly to the Bird Islands to lay eggs.
During the months, flocks of birds cover the whole sky over the islands and birds eggs can be found everywhere. Visitors can hear the singing of birds from miles away. These have become a world famous symbol of the lake.
To protect this paradise for birds and support calls for ecological protection, China set up the Qinghai Lake Natural Protection Zone at the end of 1997. Meanwhile, the State has pointed out the Bird Islands and Spring Bay of the Qinghai Lake as central protection zones.
Inspection officials and management employees often patrol the lake, improving local residents’ knowledge of related laws and spreading knowledge about animal protection to visitors. They are making great efforts to call on people to love and protect the birds.
At the same time, they have built special fences around the island area, to prevent wolves, foxes and other carnivorous animals, as well as illegal hunters from breaking up the birds’ nest-building, egg-laying and breeding. As a result, more and more birds are coming to the islands for sheltering and breeding.
1.Why are more and more birds coming to the biggest salt-water lake in the Great Northwest?
A. Because it is getting warmer and warmer.
B. Because it is being reformed
C. Because environments there are getting more and more agreeable for them to live in.
D. Because the people there are becoming richer and richer
2.The birds feed on _______according to the passage.
A. floating fish and various grasses
B. grass moving on the water surface and different kinds of fish

D. corn from the local farmers
3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The ice and snow covering the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau doesn’t change into water, unless more than 20 kinds of birds come to the Bird Islands
B. Flocks of birds fly up to the whole sky over islands to lay eggs
C. Visitors can listen to the singing of birds from miles away, but they couldn’t see any of the birds
D. “The ice on the Plateau begins to change into water” means spring is coming
4.The officials go around the lake mainly to _________
A. let the farmers there know the animal protection law

2020年中考英语阅读理解专题练习《热点话题》 新科技 Passage1(2019台州) Brooke wanted a doll house and some sugar cookies. So the 6yearold asked Alexa to get them. Alexa wasn't her mom or babysitter. It was a voiceactivated home assistant powered by AI(人工智能). And it made Brooke's wishes come true. A few days later, much to her parents' surprise, a $170 dollhouse and four pounds of cookies showed up. They ate the cookies and gave away the dollhouse to a local hospital. And that's not the end of the story. When a news reporter told the story of what happened on TV, Alexa devices(设备)in many listeners' homes woke up and tried to order dollhouses!

It's usually very easy to cancel an order or return products. The thing t hat worries some people is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to respond when you want them. So they listen for “Alexa” or “OK Google” or another order. When they hear it, they start recording the conversation. Some have worried about what happens to these recordings. Should companies be allowed to use them to learn about people's shopping habits And what if someone hacks(入侵) the device The CIA found a way to hack smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time.

考研英语阅读经济类文章 考研英语阅读经济类文章 熟悉考研的同学都清楚，阅读理解在真题试卷中占有很大的比重，整个试卷总结下来实际上是考查七篇文章，阅读是四篇文章，翻译，完形，新题型各一篇，这相当于是占去了大半壁江山。那么，在离考试不到三个月的时间里，我们去梳理一些重要的做题技巧显得尤为重要。下面将阅读理解中重要的做题技巧依次进行总结，希望能够对广大考生有所帮助。 一、文章中连词和副词是解题的线索。 1. 连词出现在文中时，要格外注意，其涉及到逻辑关系的判定。关注常见的逻辑关系会考查以下几种：转折，并列/递进，因果关系，解释关系。 2. 副词出现在文中或选项中，要格外敏感。比如说deliciously ironic 一定不能按字面意思去译，理解为"美味的具有讽刺意味的";。副词修饰形容词表程度，实际上等同于very. 所以应该译为"极其具有讽刺意味的";。此外，当副词出现在选项时，一定要注意范围的扩大和缩小。 二、作者的观点与文章的主旨紧密相连。 读文章时如何把握作者的观点： 1. 出现一些明显表观点的词。 2. 文中无人认领的观点为作者的观点。 3. 被动语态表达的观点没有具体指明主体，那就是大众观点。 4. 包含有主观价值判断词的句子一定是文中的观点。 关注：主系表(判断句)
三、设置错误选项常见手段 1. 因果倒置 2. 主客观混淆 3. 偷换概念(张冠李戴) 4. 正话反说，反话正说 5. 答非所问 6. 加入比较概念 7. 肯否定关系 四、蒙题技巧 (一)错误选项的特征： 1. 有绝对语气词的'一般不选： Must;always;never;the most;all;only;have to;any;no;none;hardly;completely;absolutely;not…at all。 2.照抄原文的一般不选。 3. 表达意义较具体的、肤浅的一般不选。 (二)正确选项的特征：
2019年中考英语阅读理解真题汇编 (带详细解析过程) (名师精讲解题方法与技巧+实战训练，建议下载练习) 【考点分析】 阅读理解旨在考查学生阅读、理解的能力。近几年来，中考英语题中的阅读理解材料新颖，题材丰富，考查学生综合推断能力、根据语篇猜单词意思的能力 的力度加大，考查学生关注细节的能力占很大部分。所以学生往往要么没能正确 理解语篇中某些句子的意思，在细节题上丢分，要么就是对语篇的整体把握不够，在综合题或者推断题方面丢分。那么到底怎么做好阅读理解这一题型呢？ 一、解题思路 （一）先读问题，弄清考查要点，以便能带着问题看文章，这样会心中有数，有 的放矢。 （二）快速浏览全文，掌握全貌，注意发现与问题有关的信息，如果时间紧，至 少要扫视一下起首段和尾段。再把标题和文章内容结合起来想一想，这样全文大意便清楚了。此时，不要忙于答题。 （三）细读原文，捕捉相关信息词，掌握短文细节内容。这是解题的关键，应特 别注意以下几点： 1．抓住四个"W"和一个"H"，就是边读边用铅笔做些标记，把What (事件)，When （时间），Where（地点），Why（原因），How（经过）划出来。抓住了四个“W”和一个“H”，就抓住了文章的全貌，一些直接性的问题便可解决。 2．抓住连接词及起关键作用的副词、代词、介词、插入语等。因为这些词具有 因果，让步，递进，转折，指代，列举及承上启下等各种连接上下文的特殊功能。 这对考生分清文章层次，辨明各种关系，了解人物心理，推断作者意图，进行逻 辑推理等手段来分析难点，都具有举足轻重的作用。 3．注意领会文章的寓意。
4．根据题意，初选答案。这一步须仔细审题，领会测试要求，确定解题方法。 对那些明显的，有把握的题可以断然确定，不必把其余三个答案再作推敲而浪费 时间：有些略难的题，应再查阅短文（不是重读一遍），迅速找出依据，予以排 除。常用的解题方法有如下几种： ①直接解题法。即从原文中直接找出答案。 ②归纳解题法。对于不能从原文中直接找出答案的可在把握全文中心和线 索的前题下进行概括、归纳得出正确答案。 ③综合推理法。读者需统观全文，认真分析，综合推理及至计算，最后归纳出 正确答案。 题干中有"suggest, conclude, conclusion, probably, reason, because, according to“等字眼时，属于推断概括型，考查内容着眼于全篇，考生应具备一 定的分析归纳，推理等逻辑思维能力。 ④捕捉关键词。在阅读时应该注意与问题相关的同义词，近义词，反义词 或同位词等信息词来得出正确答案。 ⑤转换解题法。即原文这么说，而在问题和所给选项中则用另外的词去转 换一种说法，但仍表示同一含义。 ⑥排除法。根据语言，句法结构，信息词和常识，在没有把握的选项中用 排除法得出正确答案。 四、重读原文，仔细斟酌核对答案。在解完最后一道题后，如果时间允许，再 将原文读一遍；用全文的主题思想统率各思考题，研究其内在联系和逻辑关系， 目的在于对所做答案进一步审查，推出未解答的题，以便减少失误。

考研英语阅读中频繁出现的经济类题型 相信考生们的通过第一轮真题的完成已经对考研阅读理解的题材有所了解，题材涉及社会科学、自然科学、人文科目，其中社会科学所占比重较大，其常涉及的领域有经济学、心理学、教育学等，今天就带各位考生一起来看一下考研英语真题中的经济类型题材真题，为考生向高分冲锋助力! 一、词汇积累 由于考研英语命题的时效性强，命题的题材高频率稳定，因此考生想要对经济类题材比其他考生掌握的更胜一筹，就要多关注诸如《经济学人》、《新闻周刊》、《时代》、《华盛顿邮报》等考研英语命题同源期刊上的文章，对词汇和长难句进行积累。首先了解经济类术语，考生可以试着将每年真题中出现的经济类词汇加以总结，方便记忆、熟悉含义和用法。 在高频经济类词汇中，考生要注意经济类文章中的特定含义的词汇，如captive资本、interest利率、swing经济趋势。此外还要掌握相关词组economic crisis 经济危机、financial crisis 金融危机、economic depression 经济萧条、economic revival 经济复苏、private enterprise 私营企业、enterprise in the red 亏损企业、commodity prices 商品价格、price index 价格指数、supplier 供货商、exchange rate 汇率。 二、解题技巧 要做好考研英语的经济类文章，在词汇积累以及分析句子结构的基础上，还要仔细研究真题。即要抓住文章主旨要义，弄清作者到底在写什么。 2007年Text3一文中，分别考察了细节题、推断题和主旨题。可以说经济类的文章考察的题目类型较多，有些“偷换概念”的地方，如the safety net偷换了原文的信息the parachute，原文中说的是“保护伞”消失了，而不是“安全网”消失了。命题人同样也会设计“正反混淆”的题目，如原文的信息是家庭不得不为利润和股票市场的波动担忧，而更为残酷的现实是他们甚至担忧退休金无法养活自己。只是说退休人员的安全感降低了，并不像题干中A.B 选项说的“a higher sense of security”、“less secured payments”，同样，“无中生有”即把原文中未曾提到的内容，作为题干供考生选择，也是命题的一种方式。还需考生擦亮眼睛，通过不断的做题实践中积累宝贵的经验。 三、真题再现 2007年Text3属于经济类文章，主要介绍了处于悬崖边缘的美国中产阶级所面临的风险增加的现状，首先，作者指出了美国劳动力成分的变化导致中产阶级风险的增加。之后作者评论道，美国总统关于健康储蓄的政策加剧了经济的风险。最后作者指出经济的不良后果已经显现，并且可能会对政治产生影响。下面我们来一起看一下真题原文： During the past generation, the American middle-class family that once could count on hard work and fair play to keep itself financially secure has been transformed by economic risk and new realities. Now a pink slip, a bad diagnosis, or a disappearing spouse can reduce a family from solidly middle class to newly poor in a few months. In just one generation, millions of mothers have gone to work, transforming basic family economics. Scholars, policymakers, and critics of all stripes have debated the social implications of these changes, but few have looked at the side effect: family risk has risen as well. Today's families have budgeted to the limits of their new two-paycheck status. As a result, they have lost the parachute they once had in times of financial setback -- a back-up earner (usually Mom) who

Heroes 1.National Hero China’s first manned spaceship lifted off at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, October 15th, 2003 in Jiuquan, Gansu Province. The spaceship, called Shenzhou V, was carrying China’s first astronaut, Yang Liwei. Yang, who was a pilot in the army, was chosen from 1,500 other army pilots and started training for his space flight in 1998. The launch was very successf ul. “When the spaceship was lifting off, I could really feel the high gravity”, said Yang Liwei. “When the spaceship separated from the rocket, I suddenly got a feeling of soaring into the sky because of the zero gravity.” During the 21-hour space flight, the Shenzhou V circled the earth 14 times. While the spaceship was circling the earth for the sixth time, Yang Liwei spoke with ground control in Gansu. He was also able to speak with his wife and 8-year-old son. Yang Liwei had several tasks to complete during the flight and only slept in the spaceship for about 3 hours. While he was sleeping, the spaceship circled the earth twice.

考研英语阅读理解精读100篇之经济类 unit1 unit1 Some of the concerns surrounding Turkey’s application to join the European Union, to be voted on by the EU’s Council of Ministers on December 17th, are economic-in particular, the country’s relative poverty. Its GDP per head is less than a third of the average for the 15 pre-2004 members of the EU. But it is not far off that of one of the ten new members which joined on May 1st 2004 (Latvia), and it is much the same as those of two countries, Bulgaria and Romania, which this week concluded accession talks with the EU that could make them full members on January 1st 2007. Furthermore, the country’s recent economic progress has been, according to Donald Johnston, the secretary-general of the OECD, "stunning". GDP in the second quarter of the year was 13.4% higher than a year earlier, a rate of growth that no EU country comes close to matching. Turkey’s inflation rate has just fallen into single figures for the first time since 1972, and this week the country reached agreement with the IMF on a new three-year, $10 billion economic programme that will, according to the IMF’s managing director, Rodrigo Rato, "help Turkey... reduce inflation toward European levels, and enhance the economy’s resilience". Resilienc e has not historically been the country’s economic strong point. As recently as 2001, GDP fell by over 7%. It fell by more than 5% in 1994, and by
