I was tired and hungry after a long day of work.
When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked 36 at me and said “I love you.” I didn’t know what to say. 37 several seconds all I could do was to stand there and 38 down at him. My first thought was he must need 39 while doing his homework 40 he was trying to prepare me for some 41 .
Finally, I asked, “What was that all about?”
“ 42 ” He said, “My teacher said we should tell our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s an experiment.”
The next day I 43 his teacher at my office to find out more about this 44 and how the other parents had responded（反应）.
“45 , most of the fathers had the same reaction as you did.”The teacher said, “When I first 46 we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble. The 47 is, ”the teacher explained, “feeling 48 is an important part of 49 . It’s something all human beings 50 . What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too 51 that we don’t express those feelings. A boy should be 52 to tell his dad that he loves him.”
The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how difficult it is for 53 of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me 54 , I held on to him for an extra second. And just 55 he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you.”
I didn’t know if saying that would make either of us healthier, but we did feel pretty good. Maybe next time when one of my children says “I love you.” It would not take me a whole day to think of the right answer.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项
A
Long after the 2002 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still angry at the questionable refereeing decisions that made their team lose the match. A researcher was sent to study the performance of some top referees (裁判).
The researcher organized experimental matches between four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge.
Observers noted down the referees’ errors (错误), of which there were 61 over the matches. Compared to an ordinary match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.
The researcher then studied the videotapes to study the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials did it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the proper distance is about 20 meters.
There also seemed to be a proper speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.
If FIFA, football’s international ruling body, wants to improve the justice of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues.
He also says that FIFA’s insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is of less importance.
56. The experiment carried out by the researcher was meant to ____________.
A. make new rules for football refereeing
B. reexamine the rules for football refereeing
C. study the causes of errors made by football referees
D. review the decisions of referees at the 2002 World Cup
57. The findings of the experiment show that __________.
A. errors are less likely when a referee stays in one sport
B. the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely errors will happen
C. the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errors
D. errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ball
58. The underlined word “officials” in the passage most probably refers to __________.,
A. the researcher sent to study in the experiment
B. the referees of the experimented matches
C. the observers at the site of the experiment
D. the inspectors of the football matches
59. What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?
A. Age is not the most important factor for a football referee.
B. A football referee should be young and strong.
C. The ideal retirement age for a football referee is 45.
D. An experienced football referee can do well even if in poor health.
B
The question has puzzled scientists since the SARS virus first appeared and spread around the world: Where did it come from?
Now, the first clue has appeared. Researchers in Hong Kong and Shenzhen have proved the probable culprit (凶犯)—— the palm civet, a small cat-like animal that is treated as a tasty dish in some parts of China.
After investigating many civets and other animals, scientists from the University of Hong Kong and Shenzhen Center for Disease Control and Prevention, made a discovery. Four of the palm civets tested were carrying the coronavirus (冠状病毒) that causes SARS.
The study provides the first suggestion that the SARS virus exists outside humans. However, many important questions remain. The possibility of animal-to-animal transmission (传播) has to be investigated. For example, the presence of the virus could result from eating of an infected animal.
Yuen Kwok-Yung, a microbiologist at the university, said the virus may have jumped into humans as people raised, killed and cooked the wild animals.
The civet is one of the main parts in the usual wildlife dish “dragon-tiger-phoenix soup”, for which wealthy Chinese in Guangdong Province will pay large sums. The soup includes pieces of civet cat and snake.
Hong Kong virologist Malik Peiris, who heads the team that first found the SARS coronavirus, said that if the food was properly cooked, the virus should be killed.
However, he said, it obviously came from the wild animal, and someone could come into contact with it while the live animal was being handled (买卖).
The findings, announced Friday, caused Chinese officials to ban the sale of the animals to try to stop the spread of the disease and prevent new outbreaks, World Health Organization officials said.
News from the WHO website says that it is too early to know how much wild animals cause the transmission of SARS.
60. Scientists have been puzzled since SARS first appeared and spread because __________.
A. SARS virus existed outside humans
B. SARS virus came from a cat-like animal
C. they didn’t know where SARS virus came from
D. they didn’t know how to control SARS virus
61. In order to prevent the spread of the disease, Chinese officials ______________.
A. encourage people to carry on the sale of wild animals
B. ask people to protect wild animals
C. forbid people to sell and buy wild animals
D. ask people to eat wild animals so that they can be more healthy
62. Who was the first to find the clue that shows where the SARS virus comes from?
A. World Health Organization officials
B. Researchers in Hong Kong and Shenzhen
C. Chinese officials
D. Wealthy Chinese in Guangdong Province
63. The passage as a whole is about that _____________.
A. Chinese officials try their best to ban the sale of the animals
B. it is very certain that wild animals are the source of the SARS virus
C. SARS virus appeared and spread around the world
D. scientists have found the probable source of the SARS virus
C

To: manger@ https://www.doczj.com/doc/446766978.html,
Date: Monday, 7 October, 3:34p.m.
From: raymondyuen @ https://www.doczj.com/doc/446766978.html,
Subject: Complaint
Dear Mr Price,
I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service. This makes what happened last Saturday even more disappointing.
It was my son’s birthday so we booked a non-smoking table at your restaurant for 7:30 p.m. We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready. At 8:00 p.m., we were given a table in the smoking section. I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables. A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy.
Our first waitress, Janet, was very polite and helpful. She gave us free drinks for waiting so long. Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty. When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found a dead cockroach (蟑螂) in her vegetables. She was shocked and wanted to leave. At first, the waitress told us it was a piece of garlic. When we told her that garlic does not have legs, she apologized and took the food away.
We asked for the bill, expecting not to pay for my wife’s meal. Nobody came. After
15 minutes, I asked to see the manager. The head waiter told us that you were on holiday.
I complained again about the horrible cockroach. He told me Janet had finished work. He didn’t believe my story and gave me a bill for three meals. I argued with him but was forced to pay.
The waitress, Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology from your impolite head waiter and a full refund for our meal. It cost $ 68. Until then, I will not be eating at your restaurant or recommending it to anyone.
You can contact me at 742-3254 or through e-mail if you want more information.
Thank you for your attention.
Yours Sincerely,
Raymond Yuen

How to beat a bad mood
Having one of those days — or weeks — when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster — often within a day or two.
* Walk it off
Exercise is the most popular bad-mood buster. A person who’s in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or doing some quick exercises can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.
* Tune it out
Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tensions go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences we’ve had.
* Give yourself a pep talk
Stop and listen to what’s on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper; the pessimistic (悲观的) messages you’ve been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers. (“I still don’t have-ajob.”vs. “I have two interviews next week.”)
* Reduce your stress
Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood-lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing (想像), all of which sound complicated but aren’t. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to distress is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options (选择). By taking control over certain areas, you realize you’re not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.
* Avoid things that won’t improve your mood
TV may not help much: you need to increase your energy level and stimulate (激活) your mind — something that the TV show “Neighbors” won’t do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such
as potatoes and pasta, produce a calming effects in people who have a desire for them.
72. We learn from the text that it might help rid us of a bad mood to
A. do nothing about it
B. take a long walk on the beach
C. do some exercises with light music
D. talk it to neighbors
73. Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?
A. It is not complicated to do so.
B. It is an area to be easily controlled.
C. It helps beat a bad mood.
D. It brings us a new technique.
74. TV may not improve your mood because ___________.
A. it sometimes shows what happens around you
B. it does not energize you
C. it reminds you of eating and drinking
D. it produces a calming effect
75. This text most probably appears in ____________.
A. a TV program on physical exercises
B. a doctor’s handbook
C. an advertisement
D. a magazine
阅读理解训练50篇（1） 1 Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell.But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hor- mones (荷尔蒙).They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etC．In general the person feels excited and ready to act. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.” Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger. 1．“Damaging emotion” means t hat _________. A．the emotion is harmless B．the emotion is harmful C．the feeling is very strong D．the feeling is hard 2．What statement is right? A．Were you angry, you would be cancered (得癌症). B．Once you are angry, you must be cancered. C．Angry as you are often, you can't be cancered, D．Anger may cause you a cancer. 3．Expressing anger violently _________ repressing it according to some scientists. A．is just the same as B．is more harmful than C．is no better than D．is much better than 4．According to the author, you'd better _________. A．never be angry B．cool it down before you express it C．laugh and laugh when you get angry D．admit you are wrong when you are angry 二

十年高考真题分类汇编（2010-2019）英语 专题23 阅读七选五 (2015﹒北京) This Way to Dreamland Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s h appening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy._71__They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things. But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. __72__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions? So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool? First, understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.__73_ And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings. It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.__74__ Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.____75_ Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds. A. Having interesting things to think about also helps. B. They stare off into space and wander by themselves. C. Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relatively, Coke or Post-it notes. D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.
高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps，back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time. （1）Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps? A. Because he was injured in his swimming. B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment. C. Because westerners know a little about TCM. D. Because westerners attach great importance to TCM. （2）Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases. B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture. C. Because Western medicine is more effective. D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly. （3）Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4? A. The methods of planting herbs. B. The effectiveness of prescription. C. Lacking in standardization. D. Its stable functions.

高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 I was born on the 17th of November 1828, in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of the Portuguese Colony (殖民地) of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide. As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs. Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China, came to Macao. Supported by the Ladies' Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a girls' school for Chinese girls, which was soon followed by the opening of a boys' school. Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff's school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school. It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed. Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the country, than to allow me to attend an English school. Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth. I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English. In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world. I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs. Gutzlaff's School. As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were entirely left in the hands of God. （1）How was the author admitted to Mrs. Gutzlaff's school? A. Through his father's friend's help. B. Through his own efforts to exams. C. Through his father's request. D. Through Mrs. Gutzlaff's influence. （2）Why did the author's parents put him into an English school？ A. An English school was more influential. B. Foreign trade with China was developing fast. C. It met with Chinese public opinion. D. He could become a successful interpreter. （3）What did the author think of his parents' decision to put him into an English school? A. It was skeptical. B. It was mysterious. C. It was thoughtful. D. It was wonderful.【答案】（1）A （2）D （3）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，小时候父亲送作者去英语学校而不是中文学校，并分析了具体原因。 （1）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff's school”可知，作者是通过父亲朋友的帮助进入到Mrs.
