Ⅱ 英語閱讀理解：For 170 years, members of a tiny American

For 170 years, members of a tiny American native tribe have lived and celebrated their traditions on a
small piece of land off the Louisiana coast called Isle de Jean Charles. They fished and they farmed, making living by hard work amid the bays and marshes（沼澤）. But now the waters that have supported them are threatening to overwhelm（淹沒）them.
「I don』t think we』re going to have any other choice except to leave because we』re getting washed away by every storm that comes by,」 said Albert Naquin, chief of the Biloxi-Chitimacha tribe. 「We have lost more and more land, and it keeps happening.」
Surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico on one side and the marsh on the other, Isle de Jean Charles sits at the southern tip of Louisiana』s rapidly disappearing wetlands, an area that is 3 to 4 miles long and about a mile wide. The tribe has been living here since 1840. but about a football field worth of land in the region is lost every half hour because of erosion（侵蝕）, storms and rising sea water-a constant process that is expected to worsen with climate change.
Isle de Jean Charles has been flooded five times in the last six years, being transformed from a once lush（繁茂的）landscape into a barren disaster zone. The floodwaters have spread large amounts of salt across the tiny island, making it nearly impossible for much to grow any more.
The road to their village has been flooded so often, and now only one narrow road is usable, which is often covered by water. The fire station was closed a few years ago, and the island』s church was relocated. Now, only 25 families are left, with a 「few dozen」 people. A controversial（有爭議的）$900 million system of sea walls to save endangered communities along the Louisiana coast raised hopes here. But the final design did not include Isle de Jean Charles because officials concluded it simply would cost too much to protect the relatively few families that were left.
72． would be the best title of the passage?
A．Climate change threatens an American native tribe

73．We learn from the third paragraph that .
C．the tribe is losing its land at a fast speed

74．What do we know about the remaining land of Isle de Jean Charles?
B．It is almost unsuitable for crops to grow.

75．The last paragraph suggests that .
C．the fate of the tribe remains dangerous

Ⅲ 急!英語閱讀理解的選擇題如何有技巧地做

高考英語閱讀理解題主要是由閱讀短文後的試題組成的。閱讀理解短文選材廣泛，內容豐富，往往涉及到日常生活、人物傳記、國內外風土人情、故事傳說、社會文化、政治經濟、史地科技、自然現象、新聞報道、體育活動、廣告說明、書信通知、目錄等許多方面的內容。文體多採用敘述、描寫、說明、議論及應用文等。年年來，高考閱讀理解題都由五篇短文組成，一般分易、中、難三種難易程度。掌握高考英語閱讀理解題的應試技巧，正確地理解和分析問題，考生應從以下幾個方面入手：
1. 抓住文章的首段與末段及段落的首句和末句
文章的首段與末段、段落的首句和末句，一般表達文章的主題和段落中心思想，其它段落及句子只起補充、說明、解釋或引申的作用。因此，首先要搜索目標，找出文章及段落中的主題句。了解了它們的含義，就可以順著提供的主要線索去捕捉文章的相關信息，從而獲得解決問題的答案。
2. 進行合理推斷
對文章有了詳細而全面的理解之後，就要按照文章內容、上下文的邏輯關系，作出推理判斷。閱讀理解涉及詞彙、語法、句型、段落結構、文化背景等各方面知識。答題時，領會句子之間的邏輯關系，特別是相鄰句子之間的關系，這樣有利於理解全文。表示邏輯關系的標志詞是連接詞、副詞、代詞、介詞短語、關系詞、插入語等，通讀時應特別注意。如：if, because, though, as, which, it, and, but, however, therefore, so, for example, so that, so...that, on one hand...on the other hand... 等詞語。它們在上下文中具有條件、原因、讓步、指代、遞進、對比、列舉、結果、目的、承上啟下等作用，正確理解並掌握這些詞彙的作用，對做閱讀理解是大有好處的。
3. 猜測推敲生詞
閱讀短文時，常常會遇到一些生詞。這時，考生要沉著，冷靜，細心思考。首先要把整段、整篇文章看完。通過對全篇短文的理解，就很有可能猜測出生詞的大意。另外，還可以從含有生詞句子的上下文，以及句子和段落之間的關系來判斷、理解生詞以求獲得其真正含義。猜測生詞的另一種方法是，根據構詞法推測。遇到生詞後，可從構詞法角度分析判斷生詞。例如：unforeseeable一詞，其中詞根為see，fore的含義是「早先、預先」的意思，un前綴是「不」的意思，因此可以猜知，此詞詞義為「未能預見的」。
4. 利用常識解題
多了解一些常識性知識有利於閱讀理解。如果對文章的相關背景有所了解，讀起文章一定既省時又省力。因此，在學習過程中，了解各方面的背景知識是十分重要的。考生應了解下列知識：
（1）著名作家、藝術家及其主要作品；（2）科普常識：盡量了解有關生態平衡、環境污染、計算機應用、諾貝爾獎等方面的知識；（3）了解西方社會風土人情、社交活動、新年、聖誕節活動、宗教信仰、罷工斗爭、失業現象、風俗習慣等；（4）看新聞聯播、世界各地和各類英語講座等節目；（5）使用各種工具書；（6） 查閱各類名詞、術語、重大事件；（7）熟記常用的縮略詞語。
5. 正確理解題綱
縱觀歷年高考試題，閱讀理解試題一般有以下幾種題型：一是直接回答who, whom, which, what, where, when, why, how等疑問詞引起的細節問題；二是猜測詞義題；三是推理判斷題；四是綜合概括題。在做閱讀理解題時，一定要仔細看完，看清楚試題要求再作答，特別要注意NOT，TRUE，EXCEPT等詞。有時，要先看題，後閱讀文章，帶著問題去讀短文，可縮短閱讀時間，效果也許會更好。

對於山瑞納博朗家庭的人來說，高中畢業，只是一個目標。在16歲的時候，諾維說，學院從來沒有一個選項。但是，在一個月兩次的漢普頓大學的葯劑學學生開始來到教室以來。她說，她感覺，激勵了看見色彩的人們，成功，然後，傳遞給他們同樣地經驗。

從計劃上面來說，總所周知，紳士都是穿白色的衣服，當第二年,葯劑學的學生，約翰伴頓在十月開始的時候，給了他的計劃是基督徒斯托克斯，一個在諾福克科技中心的葯劑學的老師，斯托克斯說，她喜愛這個主意。

在兩周以後，五個葯劑學的學生，和六個高中的學生們一起交流。啟動會議是成功的。從今天來說，大概有30個年輕人和男人，一起參加了啟動會議，從如何開始寫作，到應聘技巧，用來學習關於生活方面的知識，然後，和專業技能。

漢克瑞納是一個初級的諾威。知道會議結束以後，她說，她現在知道，也理解了關於生活方面的技巧，像是專業的穿著等等。「它幫助我們增加了自信心，因為，這種方法，我看見，我發現，我變得堅強了，像是，我知道，我能夠做什麼?」她說道。

傑俄海克卜瑞，一個第二年進入葯劑學的學生，說道，其中一個理由是，他自從2009年，一次事故以後，一個葯劑師說，他的外婆身體功能正在退化的時候，他決定，進入葯劑學領域。

「 我不喜歡那樣子。所以，我認為，我能夠成為一名葯劑師，然後，和15到20個人每天交流關於葯劑學的事情，然後，更友好的對待他們，就如對待他的外婆一樣，然後，我將會對世界有一個影響。」

因為，經驗的關系，也因為別的困難，他們選擇，去葯劑學的學校學習，那些年輕人理解了，什麼是他們成功的原因，然後，想要通過他們的高中學習。

思道科思說道：一些學生可能已經發現了自己上不起學，但是，之後，他們見了葯劑學的學生們，「他們看見他們受過的教育生涯，然後，為之變得更加光彩奪目了。」

Today more and more families own computers. Parents buy computers for their children.

Once upon a time there lived an old man. He had three sons. One day, he called them together and said, "Sons, I will die soon. To my oldest son I give half my camels, to my second, one-third(三分之一), and to my youngest, one-ninth (九分之一)." Soon after that he died.
Now, the old man had seventeen camels, and the three brothers didn't know how to do as their father said. They thought a long time about the problem, and it seemed that they must either kill some of the camels and cut them into pieces, or disobey their father.

The three sons thanked the old man and took his camel. Now they found it was easy to do as their father wished, The oldest took half- that was nine camels; the second took one-third, that was six; and the youngest took one-ninth, that was two.

We know mosquitoes very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They can be found almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them.
No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide if she loves you. She? Yes, she. The male mosquito doesn』t bite! Only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn』t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen. You』re different from the others!
If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch(癢) on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. When the itch begins, she has flown away.
And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, in a tree or on a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs.

Do you know why different animals or pests(昆蟲) have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts(蝗蟲), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops(莊稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest (收獲)time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you』ll find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the trees.
Have you ever found an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid(液體) when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over(散開), its enemies(敵人) cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.

Ⅶ 成人高考關於"新年"的英語閱讀

The Origin of Chinese New Year
The Chinese New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the Beginning of Spring (the first of the twenty-four terms in coordination with the changes of Nature)。 Its origin is too old to be traced. Several explanations are hanging around. All agree， however， that the word Nian， which in modern Chinese solely means "year"， was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.
春節始於中國農歷，其起源因太古老，而無法考究。其中有一種說法是"年"原來是一種怪獸的名字。
One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite. People were very scared. One day， an old man came to their rescue， offering to sube Nian. To Nian he said， "I hear say that you are very capable， but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents?" So， it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.
傳說年有一張大嘴，一口能吞下很多人。人們很害怕。一天，一個老人來了，答應制伏年獸。老頭跟年獸說：我聽說你很有兩下子，可是你能吃了其他那些兇殘的野獸嗎?於是年獸就把很多其他野獸吃了，但也吃了不少家畜。
After that， the old man disappeared riding the beast Nian. He turned out to be an immortal god. Now that Nian is gone and other beasts of prey are also scared into forests， people begin to enjoy their peaceful life. Before the old man left， he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each year's end to scare away Nian in case it sneaked back again， because red is the color the beast feared the most.
後來，老頭騎著年獸消失了，臨走告訴人們，用紅色的紙把門和窗裝飾起來，以防年獸回來，因為年獸很害怕紅色。
From then on， the tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on from generation to generation. The term "Guo Nian"， which may mean "Survive the Nian" becomes today "Celebrate the (New) Year" as the word "guo" in Chinese having both the meaning of "pass-over" and "observe". The custom of putting up red paper and firing fire-crackers to scare away Nian should it have a chance to run loose is still around. However， people today have long forgotten why they are doing all this， except that they feel the color and the sound add to the excitement of the celebration.
至此，趨趕年獸的方法流傳了一代又一代。過年這個詞，也由原來的躲避年售，變成現在的慶祝新年。過年帖紅紙，放鞭炮的習俗延續了下來。現在的人們，只有這種顏色，這種聲音能讓他們過年的興奮。
China's traditional festivals have evolved through the centuries from past major events. For instance， long ago when people had a bountiful harvest， they gathered and celebrated their good fortune with gala (祭日)performances. When natural disasters struck， they offered sacrifices to the gods and their ancestors， hoping for a blessing. The change of the seasons， flowers in spring， and the bright moon in autumn could all arouse their longing for a more beautiful life. Thus， creative activities were held to signify these events， Graally these activities developed into festivals.
中國的傳統節日大多是由一些重大事件發展而來的，例如：很久以前，如果人們有一個大豐收的話他們就會聚在一起慶祝。逐漸的這些活動就發展成了節日。
The most important festival in China is the Spring Festival. It is said that the Spring Festival evolved from an activity known as the Winter Sacrifice. It was a custom practiced by the people of primitive society.
據說春節源於原始社會中的人們在冬天舉行的獻祭。
As the cold winter began to recede (退卻)and the warm spring was about to begin， the people of an entire clan gathered together. They brought out their bounty(恩惠) from hunting， fishing and the field. They thanked the gods for the blessings of nature， including the mountains， rivers， the sun ，moon and stars， They thanked their ancestors， then they shared and enjoyed the sumptuous (華麗的)bounty of the land， sea， air and fields as they ate， danced and sang heartily.
隨著冬季的過去和暖春的來臨，整個氏族的人聚在一起，拿出他們在狩獵，打魚，種地中得到的。他們感謝各種神，感謝祖先。人們吃著，唱著，跳著來進行這種紀念活動。
In the beginning， their activity had no fixed date. But usually it was held at the end of each winter. Graally， through the years， it was celebrated at the end of the old year or the beginning of the new. With the changes and disintegration of primitive society， the form and content of the Winter Sacrifice also changed. Ultimately， it became a festival to bid farewell to the old year and welcome in the new year. So it came to be called the Spring Festival.
開始，他們的活動沒有固定日期。但通常在冬天結束的時候進行。漸漸的變成了在一年的結尾開頭之際舉行。伴隨著原始社會的瓦解，冬天獻祭的形式與內容也發生了變化。最終變成了一個辭舊迎新的節日。
