Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探险)but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.

Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry

would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.

After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, his was limited .com to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures. Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands.There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them .Fortunaly for him,a man offered to take him around the different

Spots for free. Larry didn’t even know what the time was how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken.The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.

Larry looked at his daughter.She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age.He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition.Already,she looked like she was much braver than had been then.This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.

56.In what way was this expedition different for Larry?

A.His daughter had grown up.

B.He had become a famous diver.

C.His father would dive with him.

D.His daughter would dive with him.

57.What can be inferred from Paragraph2?

B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.

C.Divers had to buy diving equipment.

D.Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.

58.Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?

A.To protect himself from danger.

B.To dive into the deep water.

C.To admire the underwater view.

D.To take photo more conveniently.

59.What can be learned from the underlined sentence?

A.Larry didn’t wear a watch.

B. Larry was not good at math.

C. Larry had a poor memory.

D. Larry enjoyed the adventure.

60.What did Larry expect his daughter to do?

The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis’s Swamp (沼泽地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack’s dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp. “So,” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name ? ” “Are you sure you want to hear it ? It’s a scary story,” warned Jack.

“Of course!” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn’t have chosen this place!”

“Ok, but don’t say I didn’t warn you,” said Jack, and he began this tale.

“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in . In those days, the area looked quite different ---- it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.

“ ‘You are clearing too much land, ’ warned one old man. ‘ The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it. ’

“ ‘ Silly fool,’ said Dennis to himself. ‘If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I’ll become wealthier. He’s just jealous!’”【江西高考英语阅读理解真题】

“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”

“What happened ? ” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.

“The land hit back ---- just as the old man warned, ” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”

“What a stupid story, ” laughed Tom. “Plants can’t …” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted(晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom’s face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.

56. The underlined word “dare” in Paragraph 1 is closed in meaning to ________.

A. courage B. assistance C. instruction D. challenge

57. Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story ?

A. To frighten them.

B. To satisfy their curiosity.

C. To warn them of the danger of the place.

D. To persuade them to camp in the swamp.

58. Why did Dennis ignore the warning of the old man ?

A. The old man envied him. B. The old man was foolish

C. He was too busy to listen to others. D. He was greedy for more crops.

59. Why did Tom scream and faint ?

A. He saw Dennis’s shadow B. He was scared by a plant

C. His friends played a joke on him. D. The weather became extremely cold.

60. What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis ?

A. Grasp all, lose all. B. No sweat, no sweet.

C. It is no use crying over spilt milk. D. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.

B

When international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure (确保)that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organiztion(UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women is every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.

More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, “Give me a fish and I eat for day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites.

1998—2008年高考英语阅读理解真是汇编及详解（文化类）

第1题 2007年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（湖南卷）C

Photos that you might have found down the back of your sofa are now big business!

In 2005, the American artist Richard Prince’s photograph of a photograph, Untitled (Cowboy）, was sold for $ 1, 248, 000.

Prince is certainly not the only contemporary artist to have worked with so-called “found photographs”—a loose term given to everything from discarded(丢弃的） prints discovered in a junk shop to old advertisements or amateur photographs from a stranger’s family album. The German artist Joachim Schmid, who believes ―basically everything is worth looking at‖, has gathered discarded photographs, postcards and newspaper images since 1982. In his on-going project, Archiv, he groups photographs of family life according to themes: people with dogs; teams; new cars; dinner with the family; and so on.

Like Schmid, the editors of several self-published art magazines also champion (捍卫） found photographs. One of them, called simply Found, was born one snowy night in Chicago, when Davy Rothbard returned to his car to find under his wiper(雨刷） an angry note intended for some else: ―Why‘s your car HERE at HER place?‖ The note became the starting point for Rothbard‘s addictive publication, which features found photographs sent in by readers, such a poster discovered in our drawer.

The whole found-photograph phenomenon has raised some questions. Perhaps one of the most difficult is: can these images really be considered as art? And if so, whose art? Yet found photographs produced by artists, such Richard Prince, may riding his horse hurriedly to meet someone? Or how did Prince create this photograph? It’s anyone’s guess. In addition, as we imagine the back-story to the people in the found photographs artists, like Schmid, have collated (整理）, we also turn toward our own photographic albums. Why is memory so important to us? Why do we all seek to freeze in time the faces of our children, our parents, our lovers, and ourselves? Will they mean anything to anyone after we‘ve gone?

64. The first paragraph of the passage is used to _________.

A. remind readers of found photographs

B. advise reader to start a new kind of business

C. ask readers to find photographs behind sofa

D. show readers the value of found photographs

65. According to the passage, Joachim Schmid _________.

A. is fond of collecting family life photographs B. found a complaining not under his car wiper

C. is working for several self-published magazines

D. wondered at the artistic nature of found photographs

66. The underlined word ―them‖ in Para 4 refers to __________.

A. the readers B. the editors C. the found photographs D. the self-published magazines

67. By asking a series of questions in Para 5, the author mainly intends to indicate that ________.

A. memory of the past is very important to people

B. found photographs allow people to think freely

C. the back-story of found photographs is puzzling

D. the real value of found photographs is questionable

68. The author‘s attitude towards found photographs can be described as _________.

A. critical B. doubtful C. optimistic D. satisfied

答案 64. D 65. A 66. D 67. B 68. C

64.解析:这是一道推断题。根据第一段Richard Prince的一张照片拍出了很高的价钱。说明回收的图片还是非常值钱的。

65. 解析:这是一道推断题。根据第三段的“he groups photographs of family life according to themes:”可知Joachim Schmid搜集家庭照片。

66. 解析:这是一道指代题。根据后面的“called simply Found,was born one snowy night in Chicago,”可知Found是一个杂志的名字,them 指代的是自己发行的杂志。

67. 解析:这是一道推断题。从这几个问题中可以发行搜集到的别人废弃的照片带来了很多疑问,给人很多想象的空间。

68. 解析:这是一道归纳题。从文中的第一句就可以看出搜集沙发后的旧照片是个大生意,说明作者对搜集废照片还是乐观的。

第2题 2007年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（江西卷） (C）

As a professor at a large American university, there is a phrase that I hear often from students: “I’m only a 1050. ”The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT）, which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice, or even have a chance to get a higher education at all. The SAT score, whether it is 800, 1 100 or 1550, has becomes the focus at this time of their life.

It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores, then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number. Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over. The low test score, they think, will make it impossible for them to get into a good college. And without a degree from a prestigious university, they fear that many of life‘s doors will remain forever closed.

According to a study done in the 1990s, the SAT is only a reliable indicator of a student‘s future performance in most cases. Interestingly, it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicators——like a student‘s high school grades. Even if standardized tests like the SAT could show a student’s academic proficiency（学业水平）,they will never be able to test things like confidence, efforts and willpower, and are unable to give us the full picture of a student’s potentialities（潜力）. This is not to suggest that we should stop using SAT scores in our college admission process. The SAT is an excellent test in many ways, and the score is still a useful means of testing students. However, it should be only one of many methods used.

64. The purpose of the SAT is to test students‘ .

A. strong will B. academic ability

C. full potentialities D. confidence in school work

65. Students‘ self-respect is influenced by their .

第3题 2007年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（重庆卷）E

Throughout the history of the arts，the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No matter what objects they select，artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change—to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.

Landscape（风景）is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie，one of the new American realists，continued this practice，Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature，Ledge pains what he actually sees. In his paintings，there is no particular change in motion，and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography（摄影术）to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.

Besides，all art begs the age-old question：What is real？Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects，the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes，and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up. understanding reality is a necessary struggle for Artists of all periods.

Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present，Eastern or Western，the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art，and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.

71. The underlined word ―poetry‖ most probably means______________.

A. an object for artistic creation B. a collection of poems

C. an unusual quality D. a natural scene

72. Leslie‘s paintings are extraordinary because______________.

A. they are close in style to works in ancient times

B. they look like works by 19th-cenary painters

C. they draw attention to common things in life

D. they depend heavily on color photography

73. What is the author’s opinion of artistic really？______________.

A. It will not be found in future works of art. B. It does not have a long-lasting standard.

C. It is expressed in a fixed artistic form. D. It is lacking in modern works of art.

74. What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph？

A. They express people‘s curiosity about the past.

B. They make people interested in everyday experience.

C. They are considered important for variety in form.

D. They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.

75. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage？

A. History of the arts. B. Basic questions of the arts.

C. New developments in the arts. D. Use of modern technology in the arts.

答案 71. C 72. C 73. B 74. D 75. B

71. 解析:这是一道词义猜测题。从第一段“to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before”可知艺术家力图创造一种从来没人看到或者经历过的意境。既然是没有人看到过或者经历过,那么应该是一种不平常的东西。

72. 解析:这是一道推断题。根据第二段“In his paintings,there is no particular change in emotion,and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background.”可以推断出Leslie的画表现的都是平时常见的事物。

73. 解析:这是一道推断题。根据第三段“Each generations of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another.”可以推断出每一代艺术家对于现实的理解和表现都是不同的,也就是没有一个永恒的标准。

74. 解析:这是一道归纳题。根据最后一段“Many and different are the faces of art,and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.”可知虽然艺术的表现形式不同,但都是表达了人民的需要和希望。也就是说艺术反映了当时人的生存状态。

75. 解析:这是一道主旨题。本文通过对于不同时期艺术家的比较,作者分析了艺术的一个共同问题:“什么是真实”,结论是虽然不同时期和地域艺术的表现形式不同,但都反映了当时人的生存状态。

Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A—F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.

A. New teachers‘ opinions of involving parents

B. An argument over an assignment

C. A conflict between assumption and reality

D. Difficulties in sharing goals

E. The best way to score high

F. Proper ways of parental involvement

80.

An Iowa high school counselor gets a call from a parent protesting the ―C‖ her child received on an assignment. ―The parent argued every point in the essay, ‖recalls the counselor, who soon realized why the mother was so disappointed about me grade. ―It became apparent that she‘d written it. ‖

81.

In a survey, 90% of new teachers agreed that involving parents in their children’s education is a

priority at their school, but only 25％described their experience working with parents as “very satisfying.” When asked to choose me biggest challenge they face, 31％ of them quoted involving parents and communicating with them as their top choice. 73％ of new teachers said too many parents treat schools and teachers as enemies.

82.

At a time when competition is rising and resources are limited, when battles over testing force schools to adjust their priorities, when cell phones and e-mail speed up the information flow and all kinds of private ghosts and public quarrels slip into the parent-teacher conference, it‘s harder for both sides to step back and breathe deeply and look at the goals they share.

83

Everyone says the parent-teacher conference should be pleasant, civilized, a kind of dialogue where parents and teachers build partnership. But what most teachers feel, and certainly what all parents feel, is anxiety and panic.

84.

When a teacher asks parents to be partners, he or she doesn't necessarily mean Mom or Dad should be camping in the classroom. Research shows that though students benefit modestly from having parents involved at school, what happens at home matters much more.

第5题 2006年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（湖北卷）

Have you ever received a gift that was so clearly not your taste that you wondered if perhaps it had been handed to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box? Maybe she responded with a polite "Why, thank you," but you knew you had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wrong? And what do your choices (good and bad） reflect about your personal qualities?

Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe. It calls for empathy — the ability to put yourself into someone else's head and heart .We're all able to do this; in fact, we're born with a kind of natural empathy. After the earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced (加强）—by our parents, teachers, friends. When it isn't, we're not able to understand other people's feelings as sharply. This can show in the gifts we select, and so can many other emotional (情感的） qualities.

Think back to the presents you‘ve given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection, how much you spent, your thoughts while you were shopping, and your feelings when the receiver opened the package. Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world. Of course, you may express yourself differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you know.

We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication. Ignoring the tradition won't make it go away. If you really dislike such a tradition, tell your friends ahead of time.

一、1998—2008年高考英语阅读理解真是汇编及详解（文化类）

第1题 2007年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（湖南卷）C

Photos that you might have found down the back of your sofa are now big business!

In 2005, the American artist Richard Prince’s photograph of a photograph, Untitled (Cowboy）, was sold for $ 1, 248, 000.

Prince is certainly not the only contemporary artist to have worked with so-called “found photographs”—a loose term given to everything from discarded(丢弃的） prints discovered in a junk shop to old advertisements or amateur photographs from a stranger’s family album. The German artist Joachim Schmidt, who believes “basically everything is worth looking at”, has gathered discarded photographs, postcards and newspaper images since 1982. In his on-going project, Archive, he groups photographs of family life according to themes: people with dogs; teams; new cars; dinner with the family; and so on.

Like Schmidt, the editors of several self-published art magazines also champion (捍卫） found photographs. One of them, called simply Found, was born one snowy night in Chicago, when Davy Rothberg returned to his car to find under his wiper(雨刷） an angry note intended for some else: “Why’s your car HERE at HER place?” The note became the starting point for Rothberg’s addictive publication, which features found photographs sent in by readers, such a poster discovered in our drawer.

The whole found-photograph phenomenon has raised some questions. Perhaps one of the most difficult is: can these images really be considered as art? And if so, whose art? Yet found photographs produced by artists, such Richard Prince may ride his horse hurriedly to meet someone? Or how did Prince create this photograph? It’s anyone’s guess. In addition, as we imagine the back-story to the people in the found photographs artists, like Schmidt, have collated (整理）, we also turn toward our own photographic albums. Why is memory so important to us? Why do we all seek to freeze in time the faces of our children, our parents, our lovers, and ourselves? Will they mean anything to anyone after we’ve gone?

64. The first paragraph of the passage is used to _________.

A. remind readers of found photographs

B. advise reader to start a new kind of business

C. ask readers to find photographs behind sofa

D. show readers the value of found photographs

65. According to the passage, Joachim Schmidt _________.

A. is fond of collecting family life photographs B. found a complaining not under his car wiper

C. is working for several self-published magazines

D. wondered at the artistic nature of found photographs

66. The underlined word “them” in Para 4 refers to __________.

A. the readers

B. the editors C. the found photographs D. the self-published magazines

67. By asking a series of questions in Para 5, the author mainly intends to indicate that ________.

A. memory of the past is very important to people B. found photographs allow people to think freely C. the back-story of found photographs is puzzling D. the real value of found photographs is questionable

68. The author’s attitude towards found photographs can be described as _________.

A. critical B. doubtful C. optimistic D. satisfied

答案 64. D 65. A 66. D 67. B 68. C

64.解析:这是一道推断题。根据第一段Richard Prince的一张照片拍出了很高的价钱。说明回收的图片还是非常值钱的。

65. 解析:这是一道推断题。根据第三段的“he groups photographs of family life according to themes:”可知Joachim Schmidt搜集家庭照片。

66. 解析:这是一道指代题。根据后面的“called simply Found, was born one snowy night in Chicago,”可知Found是一个杂志的名字,them 指代的是自己发行的杂志。

67. 解析:这是一道推断题。从这几个问题中可以发行搜集到的别人废弃的照片带来了很多疑问,给人很多想象的空间。

68. 解析:这是一道归纳题。从文中的第一句就可以看出搜集沙发后的旧照片是个大生意,说明作者对搜集废照片还是乐观的。

第2题 2007年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语（江西卷） (C）

As a professor at a large American university, there is a phrase that I hear often from students: “I’m only a 1050. ”The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT）, which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice, or even have a chance to get a higher education at all. The SAT score, whether it is 800, 1 100 or 1550, has becomes the focus at this time of their life.

It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores, then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number. Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over. The low test score, they think, will make it impossible for them to get into a good college. And without a degree from a prestigious university, they fear that many of life’s doors will remain forever closed.

According to a study done in the 1990s, the SAT is only a reliable indicator of a student’s future performance in most cases. Interestingly, it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicators——like a student’s high school grades. Even if standardized tests like the SAT could show a student’s academic proficiency（学业水平）,they will never be able to test things like confidence, efforts and willpower, and are unable to give us the full picture of a student’s potentialities（潜力）. This is not to suggest that we should stop using SAT scores in our college admission process. The SAT is an excellent test in many ways, and the score is still a useful means of testing students. However, it should be only one of many methods used.

64. The purpose of the SAT is to test students’.

A. strong will B. academic ability

C. full potentialities D. confidence in school work

65. Students’ self .

A. scores in the SAT B. achievements in mathematic

C. job opportunities D. money spent on education

66. “A prestigious university” is most probably

A. a famous university B. a technical university

C. a traditional university D. an expensive university

.

A. how to prepare for the SAT

C. American higher education

答案 64. B 65. A 66. A 67. D B. stress caused by the SAT D. the SAT and its effects

64.解析：这是一道细节推断题。 根据第一段中的“which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice, or even if they have a chance to get a higher education at all”可判断出SAT测试的目的是测试学生的学习能力。

65. 解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据第二段中的“It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores, then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number.”可判断出SAT的分数对学生的自尊心造成了影响。

66. 解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据第二段中的“they fear that many of life’s doors will remain forever closed”可推断出a prestigious university是一所著名的大学，因为如果在著名的大学毕业，就会找到好的工作，否则将会使生活的大门永远关闭。

67. 解析：这是一道主旨题。这篇短文讲述了SAT的测试，而这种测试对学生的一生造成了极大的影响，所以这篇短文主要是关于SAT和它的影响。

A

He wishes the holiday season would end already . His back aches , his red suit feels like a spacesuit , his cheeks have gone tight from smiling for 12 hours —and still the kids keep coming and coming , like ants at a picnic . As Christmas becomes more commercialized (商业化) across the U. S. and Canada , so must Santas . As the holiday begins earlier each year , so must its .

The questions from children these days are harder than ever . Now, with thousands of children expecting a father or mother serving in Iraq or Afghanistan , the questions are as heart-breaking as they are unanswerable . For example , “Can you please bring Daddy home from the war in time for Christmas morning ?”

Santas also have a pretty good chance of getting sued (指控). A professional Santa Claus in Canada told a story : A Santa had a girl on his knee , and he commented , “You have nice eyes and nice hair .” The girl later said it was sexual harassment (骚扰) . When a Santa feels anxious , he often shows it in the same ways ordinary people do : The Santas were always seen to hang around at the dinner table when the show ended . Many of them just sleep in bed for several days and don’t see other children again .

C．A Christmas Story

D．What Does Santa Claus Do for Children ?

B

What should our attitude to beggars be ? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories . It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from . It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars .

Certainly , most of the world’s great religions (宗教) order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves .But has the world changed ?Maybe what was morally（道德方面）right in the old days ,when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help ,is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars .Let us look at their arguments.

First ,some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging .Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil(恶行).Secondly ,there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer ,wine or
