with their children？”

one． “Please untie（解开）that string，” he said． The young man untied it， and the young
tree bent（弯）over to one side． “Now tie it again， please，” said the old man， “but first
pull the string tight so that the young tree is straight again．”
The young man did so． Then the old man said， “There，it is the same with
children． You must be strict with them， but sometimes you must untie the string to know

In 1950 an ordinary but imaginative（富于想象力） electrical engineer named Christopher
Cockerell began an experiment that was soon to change the world． He came up with an idea
to make boats go faster， by using a vacuum cleaner（真空吸尘器）．
Using his wife's vacuum cleaner he was able to reverse（使倒转） the motor so that it
blew instead of sucking． The air that blew out beneath（下面） acted as a cushion against
surfaces． Years later， his principle of cushioned air made it possible for the first hovercraft
（气垫船） to be successfully built and tried out． A journey along the Amazon River proved
to the world that the hovercraft was both wonderful and useful．
The invention that began in the kitchen and the boatyard of an ordinary home led to a
thousand other inventions． Today hovercrafts carry passengers in comfort over rough
channels and seas．

work in a middle school． He likes his students and is strict（严格的） with them． He does
his best to make his classes lively and interesting．
One day he carefully explained a chemical reaction（反应） to the students of Grade 2 in

five atoms of carbon（碳原子），but after I finish it， there're twenty four atoms of carbon
left！”
He stopped to watch the classroom and hoped his students would go on explaining it． But
the young men looked at each other and nobody answered him． He had to ask， “What

In order to know a foreign language thoroughly（完全地），four things are
necessary． First， we must understand the language when we hear it spoken． Secondly， we
must be able to speak it ourselves， with confidence（自信） and without hesitation（犹
豫）． Thirdly， we must do much reading． Finally， we must be able to write it． We must
be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar．
There are no shortcuts to success in language learning． A good memory is a great help，
but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book． It is not much learning
by heart long lists（一览表） of words and their meanings， studying the dictionary and so
on． We must learn by using the language．
If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized， we are not really learning the
6 110

高一英语阅读训练100篇
language． We must “learn through use．” Practice is important． We must practise speaking
and writing the language whenever we can．
21． The most important things to learn a foreign language are ＿＿＿＿＿.
A． understanding and speaking
B． listening， speaking， reading and writing
C． writing and understanding
D． memorizing and listening
22． Someone hears and writes English very well， but he speaks it very badly． This is
because ＿＿＿＿＿．
A． he doesn't understand the language when he hears it spoken
B． he doesn't have a good memory
C． he always remembers lists of words and their meanings
D． he often hesitates（犹豫） to practise speaking it
23． One can never learn a foreign language well by ＿＿＿＿＿．
A． doing much practice B． studying the dictionary
C． learning through use D． using the language
24． Which is the most important in learning a foreign language？

A． we use a language in order to learn it
B． we learn a foreign language in order to use it
C．we can learn a language well while we are keeping using it D． B and C．

What is language for？ Some people seem to think it's for practicing grammar rules and
learning lists of words—the longer the lists， the better． That's wrong． Language is for the
exchange（交流） of ideas and information． It's meaningless knowing all about a language if
you can't use it freely． Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules， but they
7 110

高一英语阅读训练100篇
can't speak correctly or fluently（流利地）． They are afraid of making mistakes． One
shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language． Native speakers
make mistakes and break rules， too． Bernard Saw once wrote， “Foreigners often speak
English too correctly． ” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those
that Chinese students make． They're English mistakes in the English language． And if
enough native speakers break a rule， it is no longer a rule． What used to be wrong becomes
right． People not only make history， they make language． But a people can only make its
own language． It can't make another people's language． So Chinese students of English
should pay attention to grammar， but they shouldn't overdo（做过头） it． They should put
communication（交际） first．
1． Language is used to ＿＿＿＿＿．
A． express oneself B． practise grammar rules
C． talk with foreigners only D． learn lists of words
2． Generally， when an American or an Englishman speaks English， he ＿＿＿＿＿．
A． never makes mistakes B． often makes mistakes
C． can't avoid making mistakes D． always makes mistakes
3． “Foreigners often speak English too correctly． ” This sentence means that ＿＿．
A． foreigners speak correct English
B． foreigners speak incorrect English
C． foreigners speak English according to the grammar rules
D． foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English
4． If too many native speakers break a rule，＿＿＿＿＿＿．
A． what they use will become right B． they are against the law
C． they should say sorry to others D． they will become heroes
5． When we speak a foreign language， we should ＿＿＿＿＿＿ ．
A． speak in Chinese way B． speak by the rules
C． speak to native speakers D． not be afraid of making mistakes

Mr and Mrs Gordon were sitting on the sand， reading their magazines． Mr Gordon was
too stingy（吝啬）to rent（租） a chair． Their twelve－year－old daughter，Sandra， was

playing at the water's edge． Suddenly a huge wave lifted Sandra up and carried her out to
sea． Fortunately（幸运的是），a lifeguard（救生员） was on duty and he saw the wave carry
Sandra away． He ran along the beach and dived into the sea． He swam quickly to where the
girl， with her head only just above the water， was shouting for help． She was very
frightened． When the lifeguard reached her she struggled（挣扎） with him， as drowning

of her and swam with her back to the beach． By the time he reached it， Mr and Mrs Gordon
had realized what had happened． They had run down to the water's edge． Neither of them
could swim． They just stood in the shallow water， and worried about their daughter． Had
the lifeguard reached her in time？ Fortunately， he had． “That was quick work，young
man，”Mr Gordon said． He turned to his wife， “Give the lifeguard a dollar．” “A dollar！”
Sandra cried． “Dad，how can you give him a dollar！ He saved my life． I was half dead．”
“Quite right， girl ” Mr Gordon said， pleased by his daughter's awareness（知道） of the

dead． Give him fifty cents． ”

As one comes to some crossroads， he or she sees a sign which says that drivers have to
stop when they come to the main road ahead． At other crossroads， drivers have to go slow，
but they do not actually have to stop （unless， of course， there is something coming along
the main road）； and at still others， they do not have either to stop or to go slow， because
they are themselves on the main road．
Mr Williams， who was always a very careful driver， was driving home from work one
evening when he came to a crossroad． It had a “Slow” sign． He slowed down when he came
to the main road， looked both ways to see that nothing was coming， and then drove across
without stopping completely．
At once he heard a police whistle， so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped． A
policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said， “You didn't
stop at that crossing． ”
“But the sign there doesn't say 'stop'”，answered Mr Williams． “It just says 'Slow'， and
I did go slow． ”
The policeman looked around him， and a look of surprise came over his face． Then he
put his notebook and pen away， scratched his head and said， “Well，I'm in the wrong
street！”

their pets． People love these pets and have them as their good friends． Before they keep
them in their houses， they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections（注射） so

animal food in almost every kind of store． Some people spend around two hundred Canadian
dollars a month on animal food． When you visit people's houses， they would be very glad to
show you their pets and they are very proud of them． You will also find that almost every

People in Canada have many reasons to like animals． One of them might be：Their family

Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again． They want to bring water to
the deserts， so people can live and grow food． They are learning a lot about the deserts． But
more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time． Scientists may not be able to
change the desert in time．
Why is more and more land becoming desert？ Scientists think that people make
12 110

高一英语阅读训练100篇
deserts． People are doing bad things to the earth．
Some places on the earth don't get much rain． But they still don't become deserts． This is
because some green plants are growing there． Small green plants and grass are very important
to dry places． Plants don't let the sun make the earth even drier． Plants do not let the wind
blow the dirt away． When a bit of rain falls， the plants hold the water． Without plants， the
land can become desert more easily．

Why do people in all countries ride in buses to school，to work and to far places？Buses can
go where trains and airplanes cannot． They do not cost as much to travel on． Even though
they may not move as fast as airplanes and trains，they sometimes take people between two
places faster． This is because they may travel a more direct way，or may leave more often，
or at better times．
Buses come in different sizes． A small bus can carry only eight or ten people． A large
one might have seats for fifty to seventy people and have standing room for more．
Thousands of yellow school buses carry millions of children to school every year． Most of
these buses have seats placed quite close together to fit in as many children as possible． Some
schools buy their own buses． Others pay to use buses that belong to bus companies．
City and town buses carry people for short distances． The seats of these are close
together，and there is standing room as well． Most city buses have two doors so that people
can get on and off quickly．
Long distance buses go from state to state or country to country． They give people the
chance to travel across huge stretches of land． These buses have comfortable seats that can be
moved to different positions． They have places to store suitcases． Many have
washrooms． All these things are important on a long trip．
1． Compared with trains and planes， buses don't have the advantage of ＿＿＿＿ ．
A． cheap fare B． frequent travel C． safety D． directness
2． A large bus might carry ＿＿＿＿ people．
A． at most seventy B． at least seventy
C． more or less than seventy D． much more than seventy
3． Buses have different kinds，and they ＿＿＿＿＿＿ ．
A． leave as frequently as possible
B． carry all kinds of travelers
C． carry people according to their functions
14 110

高一英语阅读训练100篇
D． have seats as close as possible

C． small but beautiful land
D． huge districts of land
5． There are different kinds of buses mentioned in this passage except ＿＿＿＿ ．
A． short-distance buses B． direct buses

B
Every day millions of letters go from one country to another． Letters mailed in Italy are
received in Japan． Letters mailed in Canada are received in Africa． On the letters are many
different kinds of stamps，bought in different countries．
The Universal Postal Union helps each letter get to the right place as quickly as
possible． It sets up rules about the size and weight of letters，postcards，and small packages
（包裹）． It has rules that all countries must follow about international postal rates（费用）．
One hundred years ago，international mail did not move so smoothly． One country did not
always accept another country's letters． Letters from some countries were too large to fit into
the mailboxes of other countries． Letters travelled by many different routes（路线）．Some
were lost along the way．
Sometimes the person who sent the letter could pay only part of the postage． The person
receiving the letter had to pay the rest．
The United States was the first to suggest that all countries work together to settle the
questions of international mail． In 1974，men from twenty-four countries met in Switzerland
to form the Universal Postal Union． Today，more than 120 nations belong to this
union． From its office in Switzerland，the union helps the mail to move safely and quickly
around the world．
6． From the story we can infer that ＿＿＿＿＿＿ ．
A． mail is important to all countries
B． not enough letters are sent all over the world

The earth is made up of several layers（地层）．The top layer of the earth is called the earth's
crust． The crust is divided into sections which are called plates．
When two plates push against each other，or when two plates rub against each other，an
earthquake happens． An earthquake causes the ground above the plate to shake． The shaking
is caused by the movement of the plates．
Earthquakes are likely to happen at the boundaries（边界） of the earth's plates． Each of
these plates is about 70 kilometres thick．

Earthquakes are something that people fear．There are some places that have few or no
earthquakes．Most places in the world，however，have them regularly（有规律的）．Countries
that have a lot of earthquakes are usually quite mountainous（多山的）．
The most talked about earthquake in the United States was in San Francisco in 1906．Over
700 people died in it．The strongest one in North America was in 1964．It happened in Alaska．
Strong earthquakes are not always the ones that kill the most people．In 1755，one of the
strongest earthquakes ever recorded was felt in Portugal．Around 2,000 people died．
In 1923，a very strong earthquake hit the Tokyo，Yokohama area of Japan．A hundred and
forty thousand people died．Most of them died in fires which followed the earthquake．
One of the worst earthquakes ever was in China in 1976．It killed a large number of
people．The worst earthquake ever reported was also in China，in which 400,000 people were
killed or injured．This earthquake happened in 1556．

Edelweiss（雪绒花） is the Swiss national flower． The blooms are small and white． They

flowers as a proof（证明） of true love too． Mountain climber guides and hunters pick

It is surprising that eating three meals a day—breakfast，lunch and dinner-has been a custom（习俗） only since
1890． Before this time，people only had two meals a day—breakfast and dinner．
In the 16th century，breakfast was only to break one's fast（随便吃一点）． But 200 years later it had become a large meal，
not just for family，but for numbers of guests as well． It was a social（社会的）event． It began at 10 a.m． and lasted until
1 p.m． Then breakfast began to be less popular． It became，instead，a lighter meal and was taken at a much earlier hour． By
1850 it had been pushed back to 8 a.m． and became a family meal．
Dinner，however，went to the other way． In the 16th century it was eaten at 11 a．m． Years later，it had moved to the
early afternoon，then to 5 p.m． By 1850 dinner time had reached 7 p.m． Lunch is a recent idea． It first appeared as a snack
to fill the gap（间隙） between breakfast and dinner．
1． People did not have lunch ＿＿＿＿＿＿ ．

In many businesses, computers have largely replaced paperwork, because they are fast, effective, and do not make
mistakes．As one banker said, “Unlike humans, computers never have a bad day．” And they are honest．
Many banks advertise that their work is “untouched by human hands” and therefore safe from human
attraction． Obviously, computers have no reason to steal money． But they also have no sense, and the growing number of
computer crimes (犯罪)shows they can be used to steal．
Computer criminals don't use guns． And even if they are caught, it is hard to punish them because there are no witness(证
人) and often no proof(证据)．A computer cannot remember who used it and simply does what it is told．The head teller at a
New York City bank used a computer to steal more than one and a half billion dollars in just four years．No one noticed this
because he moved the money from someone else's account(帐目)．This man was caught only because he was a gambler (赌
徒)．When the police broke up a gambling operation, his name was in the records．
Some clerks use the computer's power to get revenge（报复）on bosses they consider unfair．Recently, a large company
fired its computer－tape assistant（助手） for reasons that were connected with her personal rather than her professional（职
业的） life． She was given thirty days' notice． In those thirty days, she got rid of all the company's computerized records．
Most computer criminals have been clerks in low position． Now police wonder if this is “the tip of the iceberg（冰
山）”． As one of the officials says, “I have a feeling that there are more crimes out there than we are catching． What we are
seeing now is all so poorly done． I wonder what the real experts are doing—the ones who really know how a computer
works． ”

We are already familiar with computers—computers work for us at home, in offices, and in factories． But it is also true

23 110

高一英语阅读训练100篇
and then international． No one knows exactly how far back the Olympic Games go but some official records date from 776
BC．
The Games took place every four years on the plain by Mount Olympus． Thousands of people came from all parts of the
Greek world to watch the games． The winner of the foot race had the great honour of giving his name to the year of his
history．
After a long history of almost 1，200 years，the Games were stopped for religious(宗教的) reasons． It was then decided
in 1896 to start the Olympic Games again． The meeting was held in Athens and 311 athletes from 13 countries took part in it
but the idea of such an international meeting attracted the world's attention． After the 1908 London Olympics，many nations
sent their best athletes． Although the Games have been time and again threatened by some unfavourable political events，the
Games have taken place every four years．
Nowadays，the Games are held in different countries in turn． As the biggest international gathering of any kind in the
world，athletes from different countries play games together and this provides them with good chances to learn to live
together． The friendly feelings in the Olympic Village make people think of the world as one big family． The Olympic
Games will be hosted in Beijing in 2008，it is believed that the Games will be a wonder of the world．

This year some twenty three hundred teenagers（young people aged from 13－19）from all over the world will spend about
ten months in U.S．homes． They will attend U.S．schools， meet U.S．teenagers， and form impressions of the real American
teenagers． American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of
the world．
Here is a two way student exchange in action．Fred，nineteen， spent last year in Germany with George's family．In turn，
George's son， Mike， spent a year in Fred's home in America．
Fred， a lively young man， knew little German when he arrived， but after two months' study， the language began to
come to him． School was completely different from what he had expected—much harder． Students rose respectfully when
the teacher entered the room． They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States． There were
almost no outside activities．
Family life， too， was different． The family's word was law， and all activities were around the family rather than the
individual． Fred found the food too simple at first． Also， he missed having a car．
“Back home， you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time． In Germany， you walk， but you soon
learn to like it．”
At the same time，in America，Mike，a friendly German boy，was also forming his idea．“I suppose I should criticize
（批评）American schools，”he says．“It is far too easy by our level． But I have to say that I like it very much． In Germany
we do nothing but study． Here we take part in many outside activities． I think that maybe your schools are better in training
for citizens（市民）． There ought to be some middle ground between the two．”

Most people want to work， but it had become more difficult in today's world to find work for everyone． The economy
（经济） of the world needs to grow by 4％ each year just to keep the old number of jobs for people． Often this is not
possible，and so more people are without work．Some people have no jobs now because new machines can do the work of
many people in a shorter time． Also, machines do not ask for more money and longer holidays． In all of the countries of the
world machines are taking work from people， not only in factories but also on the farms． One machine can often do the
work of forty people． About 75,000 people are moving to the cities a day to look for jobs， but only 60％ of them can find

Knowledge is power． But there is one thing that we must remember． A strong mind needs a strong body in order to make
it useful．
There are lots of good exercises． They are helpful and healthy． Many of them may be taken indoors during rainy
weather． Indoor exercises， however， are never as helpful as those taken outdoors in fresh air． It is because in fresh air
more oxygen（氧气） is taken into our body and more wastes are given off． The air in the house does not remain fresh very
long． But out of doors it is usually fresh．
But what shall we play？ There are a number of games such as football，basketball and races． Any game with plenty of
movement is good． The best are those which are played out of doors．
Don't neglect（忽视） your body． It is of as much importance as your mind． Our country now needs men with strong
minds， good judgement（判断力） and healthy bodies．

Australia is nearly as large as the United States， but most of it is too dry for people to live in． Around the edge（边缘）
of this huge dry part are large sheep and cattle farms． A few of them are as large as the smallest states in America． One of
the nearest neighbours are many hundred miles away．
The two－way radio is very important to people who live on these great Australian farms． It works much like a
telephone． A person can listen to someone else's talk and then give an answer．
When these radios first came into use，the government set up a special two－way radio programme．Then，people on the
large farms could talk to a doctor hundreds of miles away． They could tell the doctor about someone who was sick，and the
doctor could let them know how to care for the sick person．
Since the large farms were so far away from the towns， the children could not go to school．Radio schools were set up for
them in some areas． At a certain time each day，the boys and girls turn on their radios and listen to teachers in cities miles
away．
Families on the large farms wanted to give news to their neighbours．“Round robin（知更鸟）”talks by radio were started
to keep families in touch with each other． They could talk about who was going away or who was sick or who was getting
married． The men could talk about their sheep and cattle and how much money the market would pay for them．In many
ways the radio became a newspaper for the farm people of Australia．
6． What does the text mainly tell us？
radio is important to people in Australia.
radio can be found everywhere.

7Letter A
Dear Rose，
I like your programmes very much．I'm now writing to ask you something about American social customs（社交习惯）．My
American friends want me to join them in their dinner party．I am very happy and have decided to go but I'm a little worried
about it too．The social customs in my country are very different from here， and I know little about it．
Should I bring a present， such as sweets or flowers？ Should I arrive on time or a little late？ At the dinner table， how
can I use the fork（*子）and knife？ How can I let the family know that I'm thankful for their kindness？
Wang Lin
Letter B
Dear Wang Lin，
It's a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party． Flowers are always nice，or you may bring a bottle
of wine（酒）if you know that your friends drink it．
You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late． Don't get there early．If you're going to be more than fifteen minutes
late，you should call and tell them．Try to be free at the dinner table．If you don't know how to use the fork and knife，just
watch the other people，and follow them．If you still have no idea of what to do，ask the person next to you．
If you like the food， say so． Of course， you'll thank them for the meal and for their kindness． It's also a good idea to
send a thank－you card the day after．

Different countries and different people have different manners． We must find out their customs， so that they will not
think us ill－mannered． Here are some examples of the things that a well－mannered person does or does not do．
If you visit a Chinese family you should knock at the door first． When the door opens， you'll not move before the host
says “Come in， please．” After you enter the room， you wouldn't sit down until the host asks you to take a seat． When a
cup of tea is put on a tea－table before you or sent to your hand， you'll say “Thank you” and receive it with your two hands，
not one hand， or they'll think you are ill－mannered．
Before entering a house in Japan， it is good manners to take off your shoes．In European countries， even though shoes
sometimes become very dirty， this is not done．In a Malay house， a guest never finishes the food on the table． He leaves
a little to show that he has had enough．In England， a guest always finishes a drink or the food to show that he has enjoyed
it． This will make the host， especially the hostess pleased．

We can make mistakes at any age． Some mistakes we make are about money． But most mistakes are about people:“Did
Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job，did Jim really feel good about it as a friend？ Or
did he envy（嫉妒） my luck？” When we look back，questions like these can make us feel bad． But when we look back，
it's too late．
Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies？ Sometimes what people say hides real meaning． And if we
don't really listen，we miss the feeling behind the words． Suppose someone tells you，“You are a lucky dog”． Is he really
on your side？ If he says，“You are a lucky boy” or “You are a lucky girl”，that's being friendly． But “lucky dog”，there's
a bit of envy in the “dog”． Maybe he doesn't see it himself． But bringing in the “dog” puts you down a little． What he may
be saying is that he doesn't think you should have such good luck．
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another example that says one thing and means another． It
could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to look upon your problems as part of your life as a whole． But is he？
Hidden in this phrase is the thought that your problem can't be important． It's telling you to think of all the poor people in
hunger and cold in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night．
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words？ One way is to take a good look at the person talking． Do
his words fit the way he looks？ Does what he says square with the tone of his voice？ His posture（姿势）？ The look in
his eyes？ Stop and think．The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save
another mistake．
18． The examples in the first paragraph show the writer ＿＿＿．

Our surroundings are being polluted faster than man's present efforts to prevent pollution． Time is bringing us more
people，and more people will bring us more industry，more cars，larger cities and the growing use of man－made materials．
What can explain and solve the problem？ The fact is that pollution is caused by man ─ by his desire（欲望） for a
modern way of life． We make “increasing industrialization” our chief aim． So we are often ready to offer everything：clean
air，pure water，good food，our health and the future of our children． There is a constant（连续不断的）flow of people from
the countryside into the cities，eager for the benefits of our modern society． But as our technological achievements（成就）
have grown in the last twenty years，pollution has become a serious problem．
Isn't it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going ─ and why？ It makes one think of the story of the airline
pilot（飞行员）who told his passengers over the loudspeaker，“I've some good news and some bad news． The good news is
that we are making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour． The bad news is that we are lost and can't know where we are
going.” The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when we speak of our modern society．

Have you ever heard your own voice？ “Of course,” you say．
Has anyone else ever heard your voice？ Again you say，“Of course.”
But that's not quite true． Nobody else has ever heard your voice—the way you hear it． When you talk， you set up sound
waves． The air outside your head carries the sound waves to your outer ears． But， of course， the sound of your voice
begins inside your head． The bones of your head pick up the sound waves， too． They carry the sound waves straight to

It was already late when we started for the next town， which according to the map was about fifteen miles away on the
other side of the hill． There we felt sure that we would find a bed for the night． Darkness fell soon after we left the village，
but luckily we met no one as we drove fast along the narrow（狭窄的） road that led to the hill． As we climbed higher， it
became colder and rain began to fall， making it difficult at times to see the road． I asked John to drive more slowly．
After we had travelled for about twenty miles， there was still no sign of the town which was marked on the map， we
were beginning to get worried． Then， without warning， the car stopped． A quick examination showed that we had run
out of petrol（汽油）． Although we had little food with us， only a few biscuits（小面包） and some chocolate， we decided
to spend the night in the car．
Our meal was soon over， and then I tried to go to sleep at once， but John， who was a poor sleeper， got out of the car
after a few minutes and went for a walk up the hill． Soon he came running back． From the top of the hill he had seen， in
the valley below， the lights of the town we were looking for． We at once pushed the car to the top of the hill and set off

In the beginning， the universe（宇宙） was nothing but a man whose name was Self．One day Self looked around and saw
that there was nothing else in the universe but himself．So he shouted “It is I”， meaning that the universe was him and he was
the universe．
But when he heard his own voice， Self became afraid． This is why even today we are afraid when we are alone． But
then Self thought for a while and said ，“Since there is no one here but myself， what is there to fear（害怕）？” So he was
no longer afraid of being alone．
But Self was not happy， and we still believe that when we are alone we can not feel happy． Self wanted someone else to
be with him． Self was quite big and so he divided himself into two parts． One part was like a man and the other part was
like a woman．
The man held the woman in his arms and from them came the human race． But the woman became afraid and so she
decided to hide（躲藏）． First she turned herself into a cow． Then the man turned himself into a bull and together they made
all the cows in the world． Then she became a horse and he also changed to a horse and from them came all the others． She
became a goat then a sheep， and in the end every animal on the earth． The man also changed into the male of every animal
and kept following her． From the two of them came all the other creatures（生物）on the earth．

Finally， the man stopped and thought for a while． He then realized that he was the creator（创造者） of the world， for

Visitors to Britain are always complaining（抱怨） about English food． But they do not really know what they are talking
about because they rarely get a chance to eat it． Most of the restaurants in large towns have foreign owners and serve foreign
food． When visitors are invited to eat in an English home， their hosts（主人） often feel they must offer them something
foreign and special．
Those of us who do know English food realize that at its best it can be really very good． On the other hand it is true to say
that it is sometimes terrible． Part of the problem is that we are not really interested in food． We eat to live， but we do not
live to eat． So we don't gene－rally spend the necessary time and energy needed cooking really good meals． We prefer food
that is simple and easy to cook or ready food which only needs heating up before eating．
You can find the best English food in the country away from the large towns， where life is slower and people are not in
such a hurry． But， of course， most visitors come to London． They come because they are interested in shopping and
sightseeing． They come not because of the food， so why should they complain about it？
13． The writer thinks ＿＿＿＿＿＿．

If you go into the forest with friends， stay with them． If you don't， you may get lost． If you get lost， this is what you

you by staying in one place． There is another way to help your friends or other people to find you． You can shout or whistle

just making a noise for fun． They will let you know that they have heard your signal． They will give you two shouts or two
whistles． When a signal is given twice， it is an answer to a call for help．
If you don't think that you will get help before night comes， try to make a little house with branches（树枝）． Make

Students who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries often speak English well but usually write poorly，because
they make many mistakes．

高一英语阅读训练100篇
The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either． The ones who look up every new word do not
read fast． Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two－language dictionaries have the worst
problems． Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as a translation of English． But one English word often has
many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English．
The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use
them too often． When they are reading， these students
first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context（上下文）．Then they reread and use the dictionary
to look up only key words that they still do not understand．They use dictionaries more for writing．If they are not sure how to
spell a word，or divide it into syllables （音节）， they always use a dictionary． Also， if they think a noun might have an
unusual plural form or a verb might have an unusual past form，they check these in a dictionary．
21． The writer seems to think that＿＿＿＿＿＿．
A． if you choose a good dictionary， you'll succeed in learning English
B． dictionaries are not very necessary to the students who learn English
C． it is very important for students to use good dictionaries properly

B． No matter what new words you meet while reading， never use dictionaries．

Australia's worst pests are the rabbits， introduced by a settler who released 24 into the wild for sport hunting． In less than
100 years， the rabbits grow into the millions of ones， leaving large areas of land looking like the surface of the moon due to
thousands of rabbit caves． The spread（蔓延）of the rabbits in Australia was the fastest of all animals in the world． The
spread of the rabbits' disease in 1950 cut the number， but it was not until 1997 when the spread of another disease targeted
（瞄准）the pests that the number was finally brought under control． Farm losses due to rabbits today still remain a
surprising
total A＄200 million （US＄112 million）a year．
The European red foxes， also released for sport hunting， are growing and eating sheep flocks， costing farmers A＄40
million （US＄22．4 million） a year． The State of Victoria offers a A＄10 (US＄5．6） prize for each fox tail and has
gathered 25，000 in a few months．
Foxes are one of the biggest threats to wildlife in Australia． Foxes kill thousands of lambs（羊羔），birds and native
wildlife． Australia lost its long battle against wild pests．

Over a third of one's life is spent sleeping with one's head on a pillow（枕头）． A good pillow，in its right height and
composition， has important effects on one's sleep and health．There is an old way of medical treatment（治疗） called “smell
the medicine to cure（治愈）the disease” which means that people smell medicines while asleep for disease treatment．In
China， since ancient times， people have put plants into pillows for their health． Medicinal pillows get medical treatment
closely with people's life and keep the people working in process． Back in the Tang Dynasty （AD 618 907）， the famous
Chinese doctor Sun Simiao made medicinal pillows to treat aches in the neck and head， getting good results．The medicine
that should be put into the pillow should be carefully chosen according to one's illness．
Pillows filled with the skins of beans， seeds， dried flowers and wheat are good for the eyesight and keeping the mind
clear，since their smell helps one go to sleep． Furthermore，in South China， a strange pillow has long been popular during
hot seasons．Peasants collect silk-worm excrement（排泄物）and fill pillows with it． Such pillows then fetch a high price，
because people believe they can successfully cool their babies．

No one can believe that the over 6，300 kilometer Great Wall might disappear some day．Believe it or not， the Great Wall
is being destroyed by people． Less than 20 per cent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty， is still perfect， but about
80 per cent is in danger．The Great Wall can be called “great” mostly because of its amazing length． But we should realize
that the length was made up of one brick at a time． If we do nothing to save the Great Wall， it will become a series of
separate wasteland rather than a historic site．
The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2,000 years． It began in
the rule of China's first emperor， Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty （221-206 BC）， and lasted into the Ming Dynasty． The
parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared． People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing
and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu， because they have been open to tourists for many years． But those sections far away from the
public eyes have been almost forgotten．
Few local people knew the 3 metre high walls made of earth and stones beside them are part of the Great Wall． The lack
of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind human．
The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses，sheep corrals（畜栏） and
pigsties(猪圈）．Some were taken away to build roads．Bricks carved with people's names are put away as
remembrance． Rubbish is spread over the battlements（城垛）． The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load． Those
who destroyed and are destroying the Wall know its name，but are not clear about its cultural meaning． It will take a long
time to let them know this． The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but dug out the entire base．
It is necessary to protect the Great Wall． First of all， the officials should be aware of the importance of the Great
Wall．Young Chinese should know more about the nation's great civilization（文明）and learn to love it．
9． Why does the author say the Great Wall might disappear？
A． It is useless from now on．
B． It will be replaced by a new one．
C． Some parts of it are being destroyed．
D． It is too old to be used again．
10． Which of the following is TRUE？
A． The Great Wall was completed in the Ming Dynasty．
B．There are only two wonders in the world， one， the Great Wall， the other， the pyramids in Egypt．

Wang Lihuan， a 15-year- old senior high school student from Chongqing beat 30 other competitors in Beijing to take
home the top prize in the first “21st Century Cup” National High School English Speaking Competition， held by China
Daily． The schoolgirl's prize was an expenses paid trip to the international English－speaking competition， to be held in
London in May 2003． It will be the first time that a Chinese student will have taken part in the international one．
Yesterday， competitors from around China presented a prepared speech on the topic “Learning English — My Personal
Story” and each answered two questions that they picked out before going on stage． The topics came from all kinds of
fields． All the competitors did a pretty good job， said Helen， the English language teaching manager of the British
Council， who was a judge in the competition． She said it was amazing that the high school students in China could use
English so well． However， what surprised the judges most was not the students' excellent English but their wide range of
knowledge． “I was afraid that the questions would be too difficult for them，” said Nie Lisheng，editor in chief（主编）of
21st Century，the organizer of the competition． “But soon I found that I didn't have a single reason to worry， for they
seemed to know quite a lot about things such as the solar system or AIDS prevention，” added Nie．
Huang Qing， another judge， said： “It shows how much the students care about the world around them instead of only
for their studies． I was quite surprised that the students could deal with questions with such deep thought and a global view．”
Another four students won a one week study trip to Australia or Singapore．

Just like the Abu Simbel， in Aswan， Egypt， the Temple of Zhang Fei had to go upstream to a high place along the
Yangtze River， as a result of the rising water level， as the Three Gorges Project is being built． Standing for centuries on
the northern bank of the Yangtze River， the temple had showed the Three Kingdoms period （AD 220 280） of China's
history． Before the project， the engineers had visited the Abu Simbel in Egypt． They would do as the ancient Egyptians
had done． It will be rebuilt in its copy form．
On October 8， the temple was being torn down piece by piece． More than 300 workers and experts have been working
round the clock． Bricks， wooden rails， stone figures， even time-worn stone steps have been removed with great
care． Each piece is wrapped in cloth and loaded onto lorries（卡车） and ships and carried to the new temple site． The cost
of the project is to be at least 70 million yuan． The new place is 32 kilometres upstream on the Yangtze．
Zhang Fei， a brave character， in the Three Kingdoms period in the Chinese classic “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” is
a household name among the Chinese people． Zhang has been worshipped （崇拜) as a god of protection， especially by the
fishermen on the Yangtze River． The temple is regarded as a cultural treasure and must see for the 200,000 or so visitors
each year． On October 4，thousands of visitors from home and abroad celebrated Zhang's 1，843rd birthday in the temple．

The recent death of the world's most famous sheep—Dolly the clone—has not dampened the enthusiasm（热情） of Chinese
scientists， who are working hard to make more breakthroughs in clone technology．
“It is hard to say whether Dolly died at a relatively young age or died from defects（缺陷）in reproduction，”Du Miao， a
researcher with the Biology and Growth Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences，told China Daily in Beijing
yesterday．“But Dolly's case reminds us that both Chinese and foreign scientists should put more efforts into improving clone
technology as well as disease treatment techniques in the field of cloning animals．” He said his institute，in co operation（合
作） with Yangzhou University in Eastern China's Jiangsu Province， had cloned more than 10 sheep since 1999 and the
oldest is nearly five． They are all still alive．
Li Ning， deputy director of the National Key Laboratory of Agricultural and Biological Technology， who is also a
professor with the Beijing based China Agriculture University，said， “Clone technology is actually progressing well． Dolly
is the first cloned sheep after all． Like driving cars， new drivers meet with accidents more easily， but the more you drive，
the easier and safer you feel．In the future， the death rate of cloned animals will be reduced with technological
developments．”
“Official reports show seven locally cloned sheep are still alive． Clone technology in China is gradually approaching（接
近） a level of commercialization（商业化），” Li added．But Wang Yu，deputy director of the Biological Technology Centre
under the Ministry of Science and Technology， said the commercialization of clone technology depends on market demand．

There are only two seasons in Antarctica： winter and summer． You get polar（极地的） nights in winter and polar days
in summer． Day is longer than night in summer， and the temperature often reaches below zero． Luckily， there are no

For the first time in Hong Kong's history， an entertainer（艺人） has been written into middle school textbooks． He is

The example of his long hard struggle for success has been used in a chapter in a Hong Kong middle school

Indeed， Chow has travelled a long and difficult path to reach his success． In 1955，he was born into a poor family in
Hong Kong． When he was 17， he had to leave school． He worked in a number of jobs—as a postman，camera salesman
and taxi driver．These experiences paved the way for him to play all kinds of roles later in life．
Chow broke into the film industry in the late 1970s． He was one of the hardest working actors and starred in a number of
popular TV dramas and films including “Shanghai Bund”（《上海滩》） and “A Better Tomorrow”． Since 1985， he has
won many awards including Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards and Hong Kong Film Awards （香港金像奖）．
In 1995， he went to Hollywood． Although he was already in his 40s， he had to learn English． He even put chopsticks
in his mouth to practise pronouncing certain sounds．
His film， “Crouching Tiger， Hidden Dragon”， began to gain him more fame and recognition around the world． In
1998， the mayor of Chicago set aside January 12 as “Chow Yun fat Day．”

On March 31, John Slater， a 45-year-old man from Cardiff， in the UK， will dress in a giant rabbit suit and parade （游
行） in front of over 100 people．
John Slater will hide chocolate eggs in bushes， trees and flower beds． Later in the day， about 60 local children will race
to find the eggs until Slater blows his whistle． Then the child with the most eggs will win a prize．
This event is called an Easter Egg Hunt （复活节寻彩蛋活动）． Slater will be one of the many Easter bunnies （兔子）
bringing chocolate eggs and joy to children across Britain on Easter Sunday．
“I love seeing the children's faces． They have no idea that it is really me under the rabbit suit，”Slater said．
The Egg Hunt is an Easter tradition in Britain and the US． Children enjoy two weeks off school． And most adults get
Good Friday （the Friday before Easter） and Easter Monday off work．
With all this fun， it's easy to forget the reason for Easter．
It is a Christian festival． Good Friday remembers the day Jesus Christ died， and Easter Sunday celebrates his resurrection
（复活）． The date of Easter changes each year，but it is always in March or April．
Easter marks the end of a time called Lent （四旬斋）， which lasts for 40 days．
During this period， many British people give up something they enjoy． Children often give up chocolate and are
rewarded with chocolate eggs on Easter Sunday．
Easter is also a family time． Families come together to enjoy traditional food， such as hot cross buns （圆面
78 110

高一英语阅读训练100篇
包） ． These are bread buns with a cross on top， which represents（代表） the cross upon which Jesus died． Other
traditional foods include roast lamb（烤羊肉）and roast duck．
Easter is a holiday enjoyed by all， especially children． As 8-year-old Kierran Mann，from the north of England， says，

Central Bangkok's Lumpini Park becomes a sea of morning exercisers just before dawn．
Joggers （慢跑者）， walkers， Taiji fans and an army of other exercise lovers start to ather in the square kilometres of
greenery and lakes as the sun rises．
Some are drawn by food stalls（小摊） selling breakfasts of rice and spicy（辛辣的）Thai ood， while others come to pick
up pastries（糕点） and tea， but most are pulled in by a very modern Thai enthusiasm（热情）—exercise．

park their home．
“The main thing is the exercise but it's also very social； all sorts of people are here，” said Noppadol， a middle aged man
who drives 20 kilometres from his house on the Bangkok border every day．
Noppadol takes part in a dance group． He follows the lively steps of a young teacher，pushing himself to the limit as the
temperature climbs with the rising sun．
There are also classes of men and women practising Taiji．They drift（从容地移动）through perfect balances and sweep
hand and foot movements．
By late morning — when the sun starts to show the promise of another hot Bangkok day—people have melted away． The
food stalls and markets crowding around the park gates are being cleared away after the dawn rush， while the city's

80 110

高一英语阅读训练100篇
took the cat away immediately， because the cat often lay on the baby． Then the baby couldn't breathe， and it died by magic
（魔力）．
In many countries， people are afraid of black cats because they bring bad luck． Napoleon didn't like black cats．He saw
a black cat before the battle of Waterloo．He lost the battle and the British won． Therefore， on the Continent，the black cat

procession． This was for luck．
Several years ago in Britain， Prince Charles went fox hunting． When they caught the first fox， they killed it．Then they
put some of the blood on Prince Charles．They did the same thing two years later，when Princess Anne went fox hunting for

blooded”；and fox hunters think that is very necessary．
It brings good luck to the new fox hunter，when the blood of the first fox is put on him or her． In the country，it is very

The Tower of London was started in 1076 and completed in 1079． It was the oldest of the 20 towers which used to stand
here． The Tower of London was first built by William， the conqueror（征服者）to protect and control the city． Today it
is the most popular tourist sight and attracts（吸引） over three million visitors a year．

There're five people at our table， including myself． I've already learnt a great deal about them in the short time we've
been at sea， although we rarely meet except at mealtimes．
First of all， there's Dr Stone． He's a man of about sixty five， with gray hair and a friendly face． He gave up his work
a short while ago and is now travelling round the world before he retires（退休） to some quiet country village． As a young
man， he served for many years as a doctor in the Army and visited many countries． He's told us a great deal about the city to
which we are going．
Then there's “Grandmother”． I call her that because her name escapes me．In spite of being a grandmother， she looks
remarkably young， not more than fifty． She's on her way to visit a daughter who went to Australia some years
ago． Naturally she is very excited at the thought of seeing her again， and her three grandchildren， whom she has never
seen．
Then there's a man I don't care for very much， an engineer by the name of Barlow．He has been on leave in England and
is now returning to his work in Singapore．
The other person who sits at our table is Mrs Hunt． I've found out hardly anything about her． She's extremely quiet and
rarely talks， except to consult（咨询） the doctor about children's various illnesses． She's on her way to join her husband
in India．

Australia's worst pests are the rabbits， introduced by a settler who released 24 into the wild for sport hunting． In less than
100 years， the rabbits grow into the millions of ones， leaving large areas of land looking like the surface of the moon due to
thousands of rabbit caves． The spread（蔓延）of the rabbits in Australia was the fastest of all animals in the world． The
spread of the rabbits' disease in 1950 cut the number， but it was not until 1997 when the spread of another disease targeted
（瞄准）the pests that the number was finally brought under control． Farm losses due to rabbits today still remain a
surprising
total A＄200 million （US＄112 million）a year．
The European red foxes， also released for sport hunting， are growing and eating sheep flocks， costing farmers A＄40
million （US＄22．4 million） a year． The State of Victoria offers a A＄10 (US＄5．6） prize for each fox tail and has
gathered 25，000 in a few months．

Over a third of one's life is spent sleeping with one's head on a pillow（枕头）． A good pillow，in its right height and
composition， has important effects on one's sleep and health．There is an old way of medical treatment（治疗） called “smell
the medicine to cure（治愈）the disease” which means that people smell medicines while asleep for disease treatment．In
China， since ancient times， people have put plants into pillows for their health． Medicinal pillows get medical treatment
closely with people's life and keep the people working in process． Back in the Tang Dynasty （AD 618 907）， the famous
Chinese doctor Sun Simiao made medicinal pillows to treat aches in the neck and head， getting good results．The medicine
that should be put into the pillow should be carefully chosen according to one's illness．
Pillows filled with the skins of beans， seeds， dried flowers and wheat are good for the eyesight and keeping the mind
clear，since their smell helps one go to sleep． Furthermore，in South China， a strange pillow has long been popular during
hot seasons．Peasants collect silk-worm excrement（排泄物）and fill pillows with it． Such pillows then fetch a high price，
because people believe they can successfully cool their babies．

No one can believe that the over 6，300 kilometer Great Wall might disappear some day．Believe it or not， the Great Wall
is being destroyed by people． Less than 20 per cent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty， is still perfect， but about
80 per cent is in danger．The Great Wall can be called “great” mostly because of its amazing length． But we should realize
that the length was made up of one brick at a time． If we do nothing to save the Great Wall， it will become a series of
separate wasteland rather than a historic site．
The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2,000 years． It began in
the rule of China's first emperor， Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty （221-206 BC）， and lasted into the Ming Dynasty． The
parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared． People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing
and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu， because they have been open to tourists for many years． But those sections far away from the
public eyes have been almost forgotten．
Few local people knew the 3 metre high walls made of earth and stones beside them are part of the Great Wall． The lack
of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind human．
The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses，sheep corrals（畜栏） and
pigsties(猪圈）．Some were taken away to build roads．Bricks carved with people's names are put away as
remembrance． Rubbish is spread over the battlements（城垛）． The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load． Those
who destroyed and are destroying the Wall know its name，but are not clear about its cultural meaning． It will take a long
87 110

高一英语阅读训练100篇
time to let them know this． The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but dug out the entire base．
It is necessary to protect the Great Wall． First of all， the officials should be aware of the importance of the Great
Wall．Young Chinese should know more about the nation's great civilization（文明）and learn to love it．
9． Why does the author say the Great Wall might disappear？
A． It is useless from now on．
B． It will be replaced by a new one．
C． Some parts of it are being destroyed．
D． It is too old to be used again．
10． Which of the following is TRUE？

B．There are only two wonders in the world， one， the Great Wall， the other， the pyramids in Egypt．
C． The first part of the Great Wall was built in 221-206 BC．

＿＿＿＿＿＿．
A． that are too difficult to undeand
B． nobody can watch
C． that are too far to be seen
D． that are not well known to the public
12． What's the main reason of the Great Wall's being destroyed？

fields． All the competitors did a pretty good job， said Helen， the English language teaching manager of the British
Council， who was a judge in the competition． She said it was amazing that the high school students in China could use
English so well． However， what surprised the judges most was not the students' excellent English but their wide range of
knowledge． “I was afraid that the questions would be too difficult for them，” said Nie Lisheng，editor in chief（主编）of
21st Century，the organizer of the competition． “But soon I found that I didn't have a single reason to worry， for they
seemed to know quite a lot about things such as the solar system or AIDS prevention，” added Nie．
Huang Qing， another judge， said： “It shows how much the students care about the world around them instead of only
for their studies． I was quite surprised that the students could deal with questions with such deep thought and a global view．”

Just like the Abu Simbel， in Aswan， Egypt， the Temple of Zhang Fei had to go upstream to a high place along the

高一英语阅读训练100篇
bringing chocolate eggs and joy to children across Britain on Easter Sunday．
“I love seeing the children's faces． They have no idea that it is really me under the rabbit suit，”Slater said．
The Egg Hunt is an Easter tradition in Britain and the US． Children enjoy two weeks off school． And most adults get
Good Friday （the Friday before Easter） and Easter Monday off work．
With all this fun， it's easy to forget the reason for Easter．

（复活）． The date of Easter changes each year，but it is always in March or April．
Easter marks the end of a time called Lent （四旬斋）， which lasts for 40 days．
During this period， many British people give up something they enjoy． Children often give up chocolate and are
rewarded with chocolate eggs on Easter Sunday．
Easter is also a family time． Families come together to enjoy traditional food， such as hot cross buns （圆面
包） ． These are bread buns with a cross on top， which represents（代表） the cross upon which Jesus died． Other
traditional foods include roast lamb（烤羊肉）and roast duck．
Easter is a holiday enjoyed by all， especially children． As 8-year-old Kierran Mann，from the north of England， says，
