Then comes the July, and with it are examinations; but these are soon finished and with them ends the school year. Boys and girls have nearly two months holiday before them as they leave school by train and car to return home to their fathers and mothers.

The summer holidays are the best part of the year for most children. The weather is usually good, so that one can spend most of one’s time playing in the garden or, if one lives in the country, out in the woods and fields. Even if one lives in a big town, one can usually go to the park to play.

The best place for a summer holiday, however, is the seaside. Some children are lucky enough to live near the sea, but for others who do not, a week or two at one of the big seaside towns is something which they will talk about for the whole of the following year.

In England, it is not only the rich who can take their children to the seaside; if a factory worker or a bus driver, a street cleaner or a waiter wants to take his wife and children to Southend or Margate, Blackpool or Clacton, he is usually quite able to do so.

Now, why do children like so much about the seaside? I think it is the sand, sea and sun more than any other things. Of course, there are lots of new things to see, nice things to eat, and exciting things to do, but it is the feeling of sand under one’s feet, of salt water on one’s skin, and of the warm sun on one’s skin, and of the warm sun on one’s back that make the seaside what it is.

1.Summer holidays start _______.

A. with July　　 B. as soon as the examinations are over

C. in mid----June　　 D. in August

2.After the examinations, all the pupils leave for home -_____.

A. by train only　　 B. by car

C. by bike　　 D. by either train or car

3.The summer holidays last ______.

A. nearly three months　　 B. more than three months

C. one and a half months　　 D. about two months

4.Children like the seaside so much, because they can ____.

A. swim in the sea　　 B. play with the sand

C. take a sunbath　　 D. do all of the above

Babies are born yogis．Once we were all able to pull our toes up by our ears and laugh about it．Then we aged, got injured, and began carrying stress in our shoulders and back．In short, we lost our balance．

Yoga（瑜伽）is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit．It brings us balance．I was seriously out of balance when I started practicing yoga in 1999．I had plantar fascitis（足底筋膜炎） in both feet, and my doctor had warned me against all the things I loved to do: walking, hiking, and playing tennis．I was desperate for exercise．Yoga became my salvation（拯救） and even enhanced my other fitness activities．I practice yoga at least twice a week, but I consider yoga to be part of my daily life because after a while you no longer just practice yoga—you love it．

Yoga becomes part of your physical life．Your body grows stronger, more toned, and more flexible as you move from one pose to the other．I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat（静修）, and it was the first vacation on which I lost weight．“Rather than building muscle, yoga builds muscle tone,” says Shakta Kaur Khalsa, author of the K．I．S．S．Guide to Yoga．“Because yoga helps maintain a balanced metabolism （新陈代谢）, it also helps to regulate weight．Additionally, yoga stretches muscles lengthwise, causing fat to be removed around the cells．” I do yoga poses throughout the day．After hours at my computer, I stretch my stiff shoulders and arms．When I need a boost of energy, I do energizing poses．When I am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, I do restorative poses．

Yoga becomes part of your mental life．Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses．This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves stress and anxiety．I use yogic breathing on the tennis courts, in the dentist’s chair, and in traffic jams．You should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, not tired．If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time “fighting” yourself, trying to force yourself into poses．In yoga, you “surrender” to the pose by letting go of the tension．

Yoga becomes part of your spiritual life．Yoga is practiced by people from all religions; it is not restricted to any religious group．Yoga teaches “right” living in how we deal with ourselves and others．As I work on a difficult pose, I learn patience, forgiveness, and the value of gentleness．Yoga advocates proper eating, but you don’t have to be a vegetarian to practice yoga．

Part Ⅰ starts with a brief introductory chapter and then takes up Style and Organization, covering them in that order because skill or lack of skill in style affects all writing, while much technical writing is so short as to offer no problems of organization. These chapters are followed by one on Mechanics, covering matters of form that are peculiar(独有) to technical writing or else crop up in it with abnormal frequency.

The chapter on Special Problems, which follows, performs a double function. It provides writing assignments that may be used while the study of style, organization, and mechanics is still under way, and it explains ways of handling certain problems that may arise during the writing of reports, proposals, and other longer forms. We have also expanded the treatment of technical articles — recognizing the potential contribution of article writing to the career of the writer and the value of the article to science and technology.

In Part Ⅱ, a change of emphasis at one point is reflected in the new title for Chapter 8, Nonformal Reports — Their Variation in Form and Purpose, which was formerly called Special Types of Reports. Though certain special types of reports are still discussed, additional emphasis is given to the fact that there does not exist any universally accepted set of types, under which all reports can be classified.

Two other extensive changes have been made in Part Ⅱ: The chapter on Proposals, which first appeared in the second edition, has been rewritten and substantially expanded so as to cover that important subject more thoroughly. Also, an entirely new chapter, Oral Presentation of Technical Information, has been added. Though a study of this chapter is no substitute for training in public speaking, we believe that its recommendations can nevertheless be of substantial assistance to those who use this book on the numerous occasions when they will be called upon to present their ideas in person before a small group or a large audience.

1.The passage is most probably a preface to ____.

A. a technical writing handbook   B. a handbook on composition

C. a book on a literary writing    D. a scientific paper

2.In Part I, the writer arranges the chapters in the order of ____.

 A. Introduction—Organization—Special Problems—Style—Nonformal Reports

 B. Introduction—Style—Organization—Special Types of Reports—Mechanics

 C. Introduction—Style—Organization—Mechanics—Special Problems

 D. Introduction—Style—Proposals—Special Problems—Mechanics

3.You can find some writing exercises in ____.

 A. the chapter on Organization        B. the chapter on Style

 C. the chapter on Special Problems     D. the chapter on Proposals

4.According to the passage, the chapter on Oral Presentation of Technical Information appears in ____ of the book.

 A. Part Ⅰ of the first edition

 B. Part Ⅱ of the second edition

 C. Part Ⅰ of the second edition

 D. Part Ⅱ of the third edition

5.Which of the following is not true of Part Ⅱ of the new edition?

 A. There isn’t the chapter on Special Types of Reports.

 B. The chapter on Oral Presentation of Technical Information is rewritten and expanded.

 C. The chapter on Proposals is a revised chapter.

 D. There is a change of the title of Chapter 8.

How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and the old wishing they were young again! Each age has its pleasure and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each agc gives him without wasting any time in uselcss regrets.

Children is a time when there are few duties to make life hard. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after, and loved whatever he may do. It’s impossible for him to be given so much again in his life without having to do anything in return. Besides, life is always giving new things to the child. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside makes him wild. But a child has his pains; he is not so free to do as he wishes. He is continually being told not to do this, not to do that, or being punished for what he has done wrong. His life is therefore not perfectly happy.

When the young man starts to make his own living, he becomes free from the rules of school and parents; but at the time he is forced to accept duties. He can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the law of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison, lf, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble, and has good health, he can have the great happiness of seeing himself make steady pro-gress in his job and of building up his own position in society.

Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be, but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age should come wisdom and tile ability to help others with advice wisely given. They can have the joy of seeing their Children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them and, perhaps, best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to continue the fight.

1.The main reason children wish they were grown up, and the old wish they were young again is that ______.

A. both aren’t satisfied with the weak points at their ages

B. both enjoy the strong points at the other age by looking back or looking forward

C. the human beings should be like this

D. they don’t think both ages are acceptable

2.“Enjoy what each age gives him without wasting time in useless regrets” means ______.

A. Enjoy what is given to him by people at his age, feeling regrets

B. Enjoy himself at his own age, feeling regrets for a waste of time

C. Make full use of the time he is given at his age instead of regretting having no achievements

D. Enjoy his own age and took down on the people at other ages

3.“Children is a time when there are few duties to make life hard” means “______”.

A. Children shouldn’t be made to live a hard life

B. All the children won’t have to work for their own living

C. Children shouldn’t answer for the hard life they are leading

D. A child bas few duties to try hard to make a living for himself or for his seniors

4. According to the passage, what is a child’s greatest dissatisfaction?

A. He thinks he has not got the equal freedom as his seniors.

B. He thinks he knows less about things than the older do.

C. He thinks it easy for him to do something wrong.

D. He thinks the society doesn’t believe in him.

How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.

Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What’s more, life is always presenting new things to the child — things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents. He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong.

When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Have you ever noticed how Americans fill up their entire glass with ice and then pour their beverage(饮品) in, but Europeans take their drinks at room temperature? In the U. S., we’ve created fridges that give you cold ice at the press of a button, but in Britain they typically serve their tap water warm.

This tradition—if that’s what you want to call it-dates back to the 19th century. During that time, it was already commonplace for most American homes to have an ice box. Ice would be harvested in northern America or Canada and shipped across the Atlantic and sold at a high price in British department stores. Can you imagine heading to Macy’s to treat yourself to a block of ice?

Putting ice in your drink started to become somewhat of a fashion(时尚) trend for the wealthy in Britain. Some would put a few cubes in their champagne and sip on their chilled drinks at high-class parties. But, like with any fashion trend, it eventually faded, mainly because the ice was just too expensive. And even once ice boxes began appearing in homes in Britain as well, Brits never took a liking to ice in their drinks.

So, next time you travel overseas, don’t feel offended(冒犯) when your server gives you an eye roll when you ask for ice water.

1.Who has written the text?

A. A European.

B. An American.

C. A Canadian.

D. An Asian.

2.Why do Europeans take their drinks at room temperature?

A. Because they have no fridges.

B. Because they have warm taps.

C. Because they are accustomed to it.

D. Because they can’t afford ice.

3.What can we infer about Brits?

A. They treat their guests to cold drinks.

B. They always follow what Americans do.

C. They don’t know where to get ice blocks.

D. They have ice boxes later than Americans.

4.What does the text mainly talk about?

A. Why Americans like icy drinks while Europeans don’t.

B. When people overseas have icy drinks with their meals.

C. Where people can entertain themselves with icy drinks.

D. How Europeans and Americans make different beverage.
