Dear Students,

I am delighted to be your guest.

I would like to tell you about myself. I have been a news reporter

for the past fifteen years. I chose this job so I could travel the world, but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons. The work is sometimes difficult. I have seen famines, wars, earthquakes, poverty and death. But I have also seen courage, hope and happiness.

In India, I visited a city where there were many homeless children. Some were as young as four years old. They lived in the streets and survived by begging or stealing. But then a wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them. Within one year, she was looking after two hundred children. She clothed them, fed them, and taught them. She gave them hope.

Another time, I was in Turkey after a terrible earthquake, in one place. I found an old lady whose house was in ruins, her son was missing and rescuer workers said there was no chance that he was still alive. But the old lady did not give up hope. For four days, she moved heavy stones one at a time by herself. She did not stop until she found her son. He was alive.

Here in China, I met a young boy with a serious condition. He had undergone twenty operations and spent nearly his whole life in hospital. I thought he would be sad, but when I met him, his smile was so warm and welcoming.

In life, we need role models that we can admire and learn from. When my life is difficult, I try to remember the courage and goodness of these three people.

60. The underlined word “ famine ” in Paragraph 2 means __________.

A. pleasure  B. joy       C. luck       D. extreme lack of food

61. What can we learn about Rosa ?

A. She’s a rich lady and she likes to help the homeless children.

B. She’s a kind-hearted woman and she provides houses for the homeless children.

C. She’s a great mother and she looks after the homeless children.

D. She’s a good teacher and she teaches the homeless children.

62. The speaker is giving a speech to students in __________.

A. China     B. Canada    C. Turkey     D. India

63. For what does the speaker admire the Turkish woman and the Chinese  boy?

A. Their bravery.         B. Their strong mind.

C. Their age.             D. Their luck.

高一英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

How would you like an easy way to earn $2,500? All you have to do is to sit around and wait for your meals. There’s a catch, however. You have to stay in a chicken cage with a stranger for a whole week. There are no books or television or radio for a whole week. There are no books or television or radio for amusement. You can’t leave until the week is up. And a camera will be recording your every move.

Two people actually took the job. The idea came from Rob Thompson, a video artist. He wanted to make a film about the way animals are treated. His goal was to raise people’s awareness (认识) of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food. He decided to pay $5,000 out of his own savings to two people who were willing to live like chickens for a week.

To Rob’s surprise, quite a few people answered his advertisement. He had interviews and selected Eric, a 24-year-old restaurant worker, and Pam, a 27-year-old chemist. The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that was six feet long and three feet wide. A camera would record their experience, which would take place in an art museum.

The week was long and difficult. They slept on a hard wooden floor. They couldn’t stand up without banging their heads. They ate mash(a kind of food for animals) and drink water from a garden pipe. Their only privacy (隐私) was a toilet surrounded by a curtain. There were no sinks, mirrors, or toothbrushes in the cage. Visitors who came here were warned, “Do not feed the humans.”

Finally it was over, and Pam and Eric came out of the cage. They had survived the week, and they each had a $2,500 check in their hands. When Rob Thompson opened the cage, Eric came out, changed into clean clothes, and ate a chocolate bar right away. “It’s great for me to be able to stand up.” he said. Pam just changed her clothes and left. After a week of visitors and reporters watching her, she didn’t want to talk to anyone.

1.The underlined word “catch”(in Paragraph 1) probably means _______.

A. unsolved problem　 　　　　 B. surprising wonder

C. unbelievable condition　 D. hidden difficulty

2.What made it the most difficult for the two to stay in the cage?

A. That they had nothing for fun.

B. That they didn’t have meat to eat.

C. That they couldn’t lie down to sleep in the cage.

D. That they had to do almost everything in public.

3.Rob Thompson offered the job in order to___________.

A. Make a film about humans and animals

B. Advertise for his experiment about animals

C. Show how terribly some animals are treated

D. Experiment on how long a human can live in a cage

4.What would be the best title for this passage?

A. An Easy Way to Earn $2,500

B. Do Not Treat Animals Badly

C. Living Like a Chicken

D. Getting Along Well Anyway
