Most of the flowers in nature are red, orange...

Most of the flowers in nature are red, orange and yellow. If we have seen a black flower, it’s a chance in a million.

People have made a census (普查) to colors of mor e than four thousand kinds of flowers and discovered that only eight of them are black.

As we know, sunlight is formed by seven different colored lights.The wave length of each light is different, so the quantity of heat in each light is also different. Flowers, especially their petals, are easy to be harmed by light temperature.

Black flowers can take in all the light waves which cause the flowers to dry up in the high temperature. So black flowers can rarely survive sunlight. But red flowers, yellow flowers and orange flowers can protect themselves from sunlight by reflecting the red light, yellow light and orange light, each of which has a large quantity of heat.

1. It is _____ to see a black flower.

A. impossible     B. seldom          C. common       D. no chance

2. From the passage we know that _______.

A. black flowers are so weak that it is difficult for them to grow up.

B. there are only eight black flowers in nature

C. sunlight is formed by seven different colored lights, so the wave length of each light is different

D. black flowers can take in the light of all the wave length which makes them dry up because of high temperature

3. Which of the following ideas is WRONG?

A. People have found that only a few kinds of flowers are black.

B. Flowers are easy to be harmed by very high temperature.

C. Red, orange and yellow flowers can also take in the light of all wave lengths.

D. The black flowers can’t protect themselves from sunlight.

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, and red? If you do, you must be an optimist（乐观主义者）, a leader, or an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grey and blue? If you do, then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don't choose our favorite colors as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

Colors do impact our moods----there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark grey.

Remember that if you feel low, you can brighten your day with a few colorful things. Remember that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike as well.

1. According to psychologists, _________.

A. anyone can choose his color preference in his life

B. no one can choose his color preference in his life

C. anyone is born with his color preference

D. no one is born with his color preference

2. According to the passage,__________.

A. if you enjoy life, you must like yellow, orange and red

B. if you are quiet, you must prefer gray or blue

C. if you love green, you usually do what you have decided

D. if you love pink, you often go to flower shops

3. The underlined word “impact” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by “_______”.

A. influence　　　　　　　 B. ruin　　　　　　 C. reflect　　　　　 D. explore

4. Psychologists study the meaning of color preference because_________.

A. colors may decide the results of our work and study

B. colors may affect the emotional states of the people

C. color preference can tell you who your friends are

D. color preference can help you to see through your enemies

The Red Cross is known for carrying out some of the most heroic acts in the world. There are Red Cross societies in 190 countries all over the world. Their task is to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of sudden serious situations by organizing volunteers and the people who want to donate(捐献).

In 1860, Swiss businessman and social activist, Jean Henri Dunant, saw the effects of war, and countries not prepared or able to deal with the suffering of those who had been injured in the Battle of Solferino during the second War of Italian Independence. Dunant organized a group of volunteers to help bring water and food to the injured, to help with medical treatment, or to write letters to the families of those who were dying. After that moment, he knew that more had to be done, and he wrote the book, A Memory of Solferino, which encouraged the public to create an organization which would help the wounded. His writing encouraged more people to support him in creating the International Federation of the Red Cross. And in 1863, International Committee of the Red Cross was founded.

The modern-day Red Cross does more than nursing soldiers during wartime. The group began to devote itself largely to disaster relief (灾难救援) and epidemic (流行病) treatment. It has achieved even greater service in humanitarian (人道主义的) programs that serve continuously in both peace and war.

One of the easiest ways you can help the Red Cross is to make sure you are able to donate blood and make an appointment at the Red Cross website. But, donating blood isn’t the only way you can help out —the Red Cross also encourages you to donate your time if you can, along with other things the modern-day Red Cross wants you to know.

1.What does the underlined word “alleviate” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A.Reduce. B.Report.

C.Express. D.Find.

2.Why did Dunant write A Memory of Solferino?

A.To make more people know the Red Cross.

B.To ask more people to help the wounded.

C.To let people see the cruelty of wars.

D.To call on people to stop wars.

3.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?

A.To introduce the Red Cross website.

B.To explain the Red Cross’s future work.

C.To show how the Red Cross helps needy people.

D.To encourage people to offer help to the Red Cross.

高一英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Many of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.

Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.

When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.

If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.

1.What does the author seem to like about cherries?

A. They contain protein.　　 B. They are high in vitamin A.

C. They have a pleasant taste.　　 D. They are rich in antioxidants.

2.Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?

A. To make them smell better.　　 B. To keep their colour.

C. To speed up their ripening.　　 D. To improve their nutrition.

3.What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?

A. A dessert.　　 B. A drink.

C. A container.　　 D. A machine.

4.From which is the text probably taken?

A. A biology textbook.　　 B. A health magazine.

C. A research paper.　　 D. A travel brochure.
