Although he will always be remembered for starring “Superman,” the greatest role of actor Christopher Reeve’s life was as a champion of sufferers of spinal cord （脊椎） injuries and an supporter of stem cell （干细胞） research.

Unlike the man of steel, he wasn’t faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than an engine and he couldn’t leap tall buildings in a single bound. But the courage and determination Reeve showeed in trying to overcome his paralysis （瘫痪） from a 1995 horse-riding accident went beyond any of the achievements of the comic book hero.

“He became a real-life Superman. His heroism, his courage was extraordinary,” Colin Blakemore, the chief executive of Britain’s Medical Research Council said. “Like many people who suffer some terrible injuries, Christopher Reeve was totally changed by that experience and brought the kind of energy and enthusiasm that made him successful as a film star to an entirely different issue, with huge effect.”

Reeve, 52, died of heart failure on October 10, 2004 after having treatment for an infected pressure wound without realizing his dream of walking again. But in the nine years since his accident, he made personal progress to regain respect and admiration, founded the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation, a non-profit research organization, and used his fame to raise millions of dollars for research into spinal cord injuries.

He also provided hope and inspiration to other patients and made speeches to support scientists to be allowed to conduct stem cell research in the hopes of eventually curing paralysis and other illnesses such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

“He has been our champion. If you think of spinal injuries, you automatically recall a picture of Christopher Reeve,” said Paul Smith, executive director of the Spinal Injuries Association in England. It is because of Reeve that spinal cord injuries and stem cell research are so widely discussed, according to Smith. The fact that it happened to Reeve showed it can affect anyone, even Superman.

Reeve did not live long enough to see whether stem cell research could help restore movement to the paralyzed. The research is still in its early days and no one knows what advances it may bring.

1.Which of the following words can best describe the characteristics of Reeve?

A. strong-willed and caring

B. tough and persuasive

C. caring and reliable

D. sympathetic and considerate

2.The purpose of paragraph 2 is to show us that ______.

A. Reeve was not as capable as the image he acted in his film

B. the image of Superman created by Reeve will always be remembered

C. Reeve is no more than an ordinary person when he was faced with paralysis

D. the inspiring image in Reeve’s real life was even greater than that in his film

3.Reeve made the following contributions to the scientific research except______.

A. setting up a non-profit research organization

B. winning public respect and admiration by overcoming obstacles

C. influencing the world by making speeches on stem cell research

D. struggling for the permission to conduct stem cell research

4.It can be implied from the passage that ______.

A. Reeve remained optimistic after suffering from paralysis

B. stem cell research has long been a controversial subject

C. paralysis can happen to anyone no matter how strong he seems

D. some presently incurable illnesses are to be cured in the near future

5.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. A Fighter of Spinal Cord Injuries

B. A Real Hero in Film

C. A Forever Superman

D. A Struggling Life

高二英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Ninety percent of Americans drive to work every day although working from home is on the rise. If you’re lacking for topics of conversation at a party, chatting about your commute（通勤） is a pretty safe bet.

According to a recent study, driving for more than two hours each day can steadily decrease the IQ of middle aged drivers. The Sunday Times of London detailed the study, which looked into the lifestyle choices of over 500,000 Britons between the ages of 37 and 73.

When looking at the data of the 93,000 participants who drove more than two to three hours per day, the study found a noticeable drop off in brainpower, measured by intelligence and memory tests. The study found similar results with participants who took part in several hours similarly sedentary (久坐的) activities, like television watching.

As it turns out, stimulating activity stimulates your brain, while non-stimulating activity, well, doesn’t stimulate your brain.

“Cognitive (认知的) decline is measurable over five years because it can happen fast in middle-aged and older people. This is associated with lifestyle factors such as smoking and bad diet — and now with time spent driving,” Kishran Bakrania, a medical epidemiologist(流行病学家） at the University of Leicester（莱斯特大学） told the Times.

Fortunately for most Americans, the average commute time was recorded at approximately 26.5 minutes according to the 2015 United States Census.

And if you think that the way to pump up your IQ is through brain games, think again. Just try and avoid those long hours on the road if possible, and if you happen to have free time on your commute, be sure to use it wisely.

1.According to the passage, which of the following may be of help to our brainpower?

A. Watching TV.　　 B. Having sports.

C. Driving long time.　　 D. Sleeping.

2.Why does the writer mention “results with people participating in similarly sedentary activities” in paragragh3?

A. To make a contrast.　　 B. To give an example.

C. To make a description.　　 D. To give more evidence.

3.We can infer from the passage that ________.

A. people should participate in more stimulating activities

B. long time drive may decrease the driver’s IQ

C. smoking and bad diet can cause cognitive decline

D. an increasing number of Americans drive to work every day

To help the environment, many Americans have made the change from paper and plastic bags to reusable shopping bags.But a report by a Florida newspaper says that reusable shopping bags sold by some supermarkets have high levels of lead(铅), which can be dangerous to humans, especially young children.Now, there’s a call for a rethink about the use of reusable shopping bags.

“When our families go to the store looking for safe and healthy foods, the last thing they should be worrying about is a bag，”Charles Schumer, a government official said.“Quick and complete research will allow everyone to make right decisions.”

The newspaper bought more than a dozen bags sold at Publix supermarkets from Florida supermarkets to test them for lead.The results showed that certain bags had lead levels that worried health officials.Some bags had enough lead in them to be considered dangerous waste if people were to throw the bags out with other rubbish.Lead in the bags is not likely to move onto food.But over time, paint (油漆) on the bags can break off and the bags can wear out.When this happens, lead can be freed.

The affected (受影响的) bags were found in Florida.But Publix has more than 1，000 stores across America.Publix says that its bags don’t break any laws about lead levels, but that they have asked the makers of the bags to reduce(降低) the lead levels in them.

The bags with the highest levels of lead had beautiful designs and many pictures.Plain reusable bags without them are found to have little lead.People worried about lead levels in reusable bags can turn to cloth.Paper bags are also a good choice, since paper can be reused.

1.What worries people now is that reusable shopping bags ________．

A. can’t be reused

B. can be a danger to people

C. are a waste of money

D. are as bad as paper bags

2.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to “________”．

A. bags　　 B. foods

C. supermarkets　　 D. officials

3.Lead in shopping bags will probably come out when ________．

A. food is put in them

B. they are thrown away

C. they are put with other rubbish

D. the paint is separated from them

4.What’s the best title for the text?

A. The return of paper bags

B. Time to invent greener shopping bags

C. The safety of shopping bags

D. Look out for reusable shopping bags

Years ago it was very difficult to travel from one place to another. The journeys were often long, tiring and dangerous. Today the picture has changed. Science has improved transportation and communication facilities a great deal. Traveling has become safer, more enjoyable and above all, more economical.

Traveling—whether within one’s country or abroad—brings many invaluable benefits. People travel for pleasure, business or for education and knowledge. In the world of yesterday most people were only able to read about strange and fascinating places across the mountains and seas. Later, with the coming of the cinema and television, man’s curiosity about faraway places with strange sounding names was further stirred up. Today man’s curiosity can be satisfied in luxurious comfort. There are first-class ships and airplanes to take him where his dreams lie.

We travel to increase our knowledge of the world in which we live. Knowledge obtained from books alone is not enough. New knowledge of different land and peoples enriches our mind and soul. Books generally do not give us a very true picture of lands beyond our shores. Some of them are even misleading.
