高三英语阅读理解困难题查看答案及解析

The United States has about 475,000 school buses -- all painted yellow. Each day they carry more than 25,000,000 children, half of all schoolchildren in the country. But these buses, on average, use four liters of diesel (柴油) fuel to travel less than sixteen kilometers. When the school year began last fall, diesel averaged 55 cents a liter nationally. The price nearly doubled, to a dollar and 8 cents, by the end of school in June.

Bob Riley speaks for the American School Bus Council. He says fuel prices for schools arc not much lower than others have to pay. As a result, schools are looking for ways to reduce transportation costs. Bus routes are being redrawn or, in some cases, canceled. Some areas are buying buses that use natural gas or other alternative fuels. Other steps include fewer field trips and less travel by sports teams. And some school districts may end any bus service not required by law.

Studies show that school buses are the safest form of transportation to and from school. The American School Bus Council says cuts in bus service are bad for children and possibly the environment. It says removing buses from the road will mean an increase in other vehicles transporting students. Spokesman Bob Riley says another concern is that reducing bus services might reduce attendance.

But it could also get more children to walk or bicycle to school. And that would surely make people happy at the National Center for Safe Routes to School. More kids walking or biking safely to school is the aim of a three-year-old federal program, part of an international movement. The goal is to increase physical activity and reduce air pollution. The United States will celebrate Walk to School Day on October eighth this year. But for some students, high fuel prices could make every day a walk-to-school day.

68. What does this passage mainly tell us?

A. High fuel prices' influences on school buses.  B. New measures to transport school students.

C. The safest form of student transportation.          D. The origin of Walk to School Day.

69. Which of the following information is implied in the first paragraph?

A. There are too many school buses in the United States.

B. There are too many students in the US.

C. Diesel prices are going up too rapidly in the US.

D. School buses consume too much diesel in the US.

70. In order to cut down transportation cost, many schools take the following measures EXCEI _____.

A. changing some bus routes                B. stopping some bus routes

C. asking parents to drive children to school     D. using other types of fuels

71. The National Center for Safe Routes to School encourages more children to walk or bike to school in order to ________.

A. save more fuels and diesel for the country.

B. keep the children safe on their way to school

C. make the children live a simple life

D. keep the children healthy and the environment clean

Some universities have reportedly canceled the men' s 5,000-meter race and the women' s 3,000-meter race in their sports meetings due to worries that the students couldn't cope with the race. Students' physical conditions are worrying in the nation.

In ancient China, Confucian culture stressed the values of knowledge and morality and considered people with physical strength uncivilized. Having a strong body was the most obvious distinction between manual workers and civilized intellectuals.

In today's China, knowledge, which is regarded as the source of productivity, is more highly valued than physical strength. Parents and teachers value clever heads over strong bodies.

The physical condition of Chinese people has improved a lot since China's reform and opening-up policy in the early 1980s,as nutrition and food are no longer a problem for most people.

Chinese people should develop the habit of sports exercise starting from childhood. The government and education authorities must create more conditions for the people, especially for students, to do sports regularly.

A healthy and strong body is a basic guarantee for a healthy life. The health of the whole nation will also have an impact on China's future development.

Somewhere between 40,000 and 110,000 tons of plastic waste produced by Americans ends up in the ocean, according to a study published in the journal Science.

It's difficult to point out where all that waste comes from, and researchers think that much or most of it probably comes from the nation's seriously-populated coasts. But there's also evidence that the nation's inland waterways serve as a passage for plastic to travel thousands of miles into the oceans.

While researchers have documented plastic and human trash floating in the world's oceans, there has been relatively little attention paid to plastics in rivers, streams and lakes. "To my knowledge, no one has studied particular routes, with the exception of places like L.A, and Baltimore Harbor where there are measures in place to prevent trash in rivers from entering the ocean." said Kara Lavender Law, an oceanographer.

The few studies that exist, however, suggest that it may be a huge problem. A 2011 study of two southern California urban rivers---including Santa Ana River---found that every square meter of water contained from 125 to 819 pieces larger than 4.75 millimeters. Another survey of the Meuse River, which flows 575 miles through France, Belgium and the Netherlands to the North Sea, found that it contained 70,000 pieces of plastics per square meter of water, about 500 of which were roughly an inch or bigger in size.

If there's anything positive in this, it's you that can do something, at least on a personal level, to reduce the amount of plastic that goes into the oceans. "Put trash where it goes." said Jenna Jambeck, an associate professor of environmental engineering at the University of Georgia. "Use reusable items---bags, cups and bottles---to reduce waste."

Finally, Jambeck urges people to pick up litter along waterways, and record it with a phone app called the Marine Debris Tracker. The data you provide can help scientists to get a better handle on the trash problem.

1.According to the text, the least polluted place might be __________.

A.Santa Ana River B.Meuse River

C.Baltimore Harbor D.The North Sea

2.How does the author prove plastic waste in rivers is a huge problem?

A.By referring to experts' views. B.By listing statistics.

C.By making comparisons. D.By following time order.

3.What does Jenna Jambeck advise us to do?

A.Make use of plastic items. B.Reduce the size of waste we throw away.

C.Stay positive about the oceans' future. D.Start from small things to deal with waste.
