　　高考英語閱讀練習(xí)題1

　　Not many years ago, a wealthy and rather strange old man named Johnson lived alone in a village in the south of England. He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries. When he was seventy—five, he gave £ 12,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment (設(shè)備) for a children’s playground.

　　As a result of his kindness, many people came to visit him. Among them was a newspaperman. During their talk, Johnson remarked that he was seventy-five and expected to live to be a hundred. The newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at seventy—five. Johnson had a sense of humour (幽默). He liked whisky (威士忌酒) and drank some each day. “I have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening.”he told the newspaperman, thinking of his evening glass of whisky.

　　The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant. In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was seventy—five and had a daily injection in his neck. Within a week Johnson received thousands of letters from all over Britain, asking him for the secret of his daily injection.

　　高考英語閱讀練習(xí)題2

　　Bees add an estimated eighteen billion dollars a year to the value of American crops. They pollinate(授粉)flowers that become fruits, nuts and vegetables. But, in recent years, honeybee colonies in the United States and Europe have been shrinking. Scientists have proposed different theories to explain what is known as colony collapse disorder.

　　New research suggests that a commonly used group of insecticide(殺蟲劑) could cause bees to have a hard time finding their way back to their hive. The new research looks at the use of pesticides called neonicotinoids. They were first used in the 1990s. They are now put on the seeds of many major crops around the world. The seedlings absorb the chemicals as they grow. That means farmers do not need to spray a whole field. Instead there is a little bit of insecticide inside each plant—including the pollen(花粉) and the nectar(花蜜) that the bees want. There is not enough pesticide to kill them. But the new research in the journal Science says it may harm them anyway.

　　Researchers stuck microchips to the backs of the bees. These chips recorded the bees' movements as they came and went from their hive. The scientists fed some bees sugar water with a low dose of a neonicotinoid. The study found that these bees were about twice as likely not to return as other bees.

　　Dave Goulson at the University of Stirling in Britain worked on another study published in Science. He says the pesticides could help explain why bumblebee populations are also decreasing.

　　Bayer CropScience makes neonicotinoid pesticides. The company's spokesman Jack Boyne disputed the findings. He also notes that researchers are studying other factors that could affect the bees' population. These include parasites, diseases and stress caused by transporting beehives to farms. Some European countries have banned the pesticides. And there are growing calls to ban them in the United States as well.

　　高考英語閱讀練習(xí)題答案

　　1.B　詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)本句中轉(zhuǎn)折連詞But和下文的colony collapse disorder可知，蜜蜂對(duì)美國(guó)的農(nóng)作物有重要作用，但是最近幾年蜜蜂蜂群數(shù)量一直在下降，故選B項(xiàng)。

　　2.C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“These chips recorded the bees' movements as they came and went from their hive.”可推知，這樣做的主要目的是記錄蜜蜂往返于蜂房的活動(dòng)規(guī)律，從而進(jìn)一步推斷殺蟲劑是否影響其活動(dòng)規(guī)律，影響其數(shù)量。故選C項(xiàng)。

　　3.D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容可知，歐洲一些國(guó)家已經(jīng)禁止使用殺蟲劑，美國(guó)禁用殺蟲劑的呼聲也越來越高，因此可推知可能會(huì)有更多的國(guó)家禁用殺蟲劑。故選D項(xiàng)。

　　4.C　主旨大意題。本文是一篇科普說明文，主要說的是最新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)蜜蜂蜂群近年數(shù)量下降，故選C項(xiàng)。
