高一英语阅读训练Too many people think that global warming is not a threat, but I think it is one of the biggest problems. Our world has been greatly affected by climate change and its critical that people, young and old, work together to fight it. How are children supposed to fight global warming if they grow up not knowing about its dangers? Children should be taught ways they can help in primary school, which is why it is critical that more schools offer environmental education classes.I think the nation should require schools to have a class about being “green”——Green Living could be its name. Every school should teach students about global warming, its effect, and what they can do to reduce their carbon footprints.In the classes, students could be assigned(安排)to find solutions to everyday energy problems, while learning about their influence on the earth and how we all can help. Students will probably use what they have learned in class at home, where it will affect the whole family.However, to be effective, schools must take steps to be “green” too. What would children be learning if the school’s lights were always left on and there were no recycling dustbins? When schools are renovated(修缮) or new ones are built, towns should support an eco-friendly design that would save energy and reduce power bills.Green living and green schools are part of a new wave that should be sweeping the nation, but is not. How will our future leaders respond after years of living in a community where preserving our world’s natural integrity(完整性) just isn’t considered important? Schools and the government should be responsible for teaching young people about global warming quickly.1.In the passage, the author suggests that it should be necessary to_______A.make it clear if global warming is a threat.B.teach students ways to build a friendly relationshipC.give children environmental education classesD.help schools develop effective educational programs2. According to the passage, in order to make schools “green”, _______A. schools should be enlargedB. recycling dustbins should be replaced by new onesC. students should protect our natural integrityD. people should turn off the lights when no one is there3. The author is eager to tell the readers that_______A. more money should be provided to equip the school with recycling dustbins.B. we should take action to prevent global warming before it is too lateC. government should close more polluted factoriesD. we should avoid a new sandstorm sweeping the nation4. The underlined part “our future leaders” in the last paragraph refers to______A. the leaders of our countryB. the residents of a communityC. the government leadersD. the young people at school5. All the following are called for EXCEPT_______A. Green Living should center on problems and their solutionsB. family members don’t necessarily practice measures against global warmingC. the eco-friendlier the design is, the better it proves itself to beD. Green Living and green schools deserve close attention阅读二Kids have their own ideas about money-----some are sensible and others are not so wise.Twelve-year-old Amanda thinks it’s good to save and not blow your money right away “ so you can buy other things”.When it comes to credit cards, eight-year-old Jeremie says when the monthly bills comes in “you sign it and then you give it back”----Leaving out the part about actually paying it..These kids are still far away from the working world, but the ideas they’re forming about money could affect how much they save, how they use credit cards and how much debt they finally take on in later life.High school business teacher Jeff Balch said his students had little knowledge about money other than spending. “They don’t know most things because nobody talks to them about them-----as in their parents,” said Balch,” The discussions tend to be in terms of kids spending too much money, but no one tells them why, where their money goes.”Mitch Murphy said students’ message to the task force was to “make it real”. “It may be difficult to have a 14- or 15-year-old student get too enthusiastic about retirement planning,”Murphy said, “But if you want to talk about a cellphone contact or a debt card and how they work, they will be engaged in.”Murphy said learning financial literacy early, well before getting into the workforce, should stay with Canadians for life and benefit the country as a result.Sandra Martin said children could start learning about money when they learn to count. “Sit down with the flyers and look at how much things cost,” Martin said. Babysitting and birthday money could be deposited and there would be a limit as to how much could be debited every month, she said.\”The reality is that we’re not spending with cash anymore. If you’re always in control of your child’s money, then they’re never going to learn what it means to save for something that’s important.”Balch said he tried to make his students realize the differences between needs, wants and priorities. If they haven’t learned self-control and if they haven’t learned how to handle money, they can easily spiral out of control.1.It can be inferred from the first paragraph that______A, money has special meaning for kids’B. some kids like money while others don’t like itC. some kids don’t know how to spend money wiselyD. some kids are wise enough to make money2. According to Jeff Balch, his students paid attention to ______A. finding how much many things wereB, finding where their money wentC. learning about why they spent moneyD. spending a lot of money carelessly3. In the opinion of Murphy, teaching kids financial knowledge should be ______A. related to kids’ lifeB. connected with kids’ futureC. done after they get into workforceD. worried about as late as possible4. In the opinion of Martin, teens needed to ______A. save every penny they get every monthB, learn how to save for something importantC.spend with cash rather than credit cardD. set a limit to spending money every day5.The main idea of the passage is that ______A. kids save money for their own special thingsB, kids develop good financial habits for familyC. kids need to learn about money for later lifeD. kids can’t control themselves in spending money.阅读三Taking part-time job is very popular among American students and usually begins during their high school years.A very popular job for teenage girls in America is babysitting(当临时保姆). Babysitting is not an easy job. A good babysitter should know how to change diapers(尿布). She must be able to get the baby ready for bed on time. In addition, she should be able to solve any unexpected emergency(突发事件) and she should always remember the emergency numbers of the hospital and the police and also the phone numbers of the baby’s parents so that she can call them when an emergency happens. Once the baby is asleep, the babysitter is free to watch TV or listen to music. But she should be careful not to wake the baby up. It is always the best choice to spend the time doing her homework.Compared with teenage girls, boys usually have more choices because of their strong bodies. But to most of them, delivering newspapers is very appealing because they can make quite a bit of money by doing this job even though they have to get up early in the morning. This job has no holidays because the newspapers have to be delivered every day.In America, part-time jobs for high school students are often considered as an opportunity to teach young people to have a strong sense of responsibility(责任) and show respect for others. They can also learn how to become part of the adult world.1.Which of the following responsibilities of a babysitter is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.Changing diapers.B.Giving a bath to the baby.C.Making sure the baby goes to bed on time.D.Keeping the phone numbers of the baby’s parents in mind.2.What is the best thing for the babysitter to do if the baby is asleep?A.Watching TV or listening to music quietly.B.Going shopping.C.Doing her homework.D.Cleaning the rooms.3.The underlined sentence most probably means that________A.most teenage boys are interested in delivering newspapers.B.Most teenage boys think delivering newspapers is very hard.C.Most teenage boys don’t like delivering newspapers.D.Most teenage boys can only deliver newspapers.4.The last paragraph is mainly about______A.where high school students can get part-time jobs.B.how to become part of the adult world.C.the advantages(优点) of taking part-time jobs.D.the importance of respecting others.阅读四In yesterday’s programs, we talked about children’s behavior. Today, we’ll continue with this topic.Last night, my daughters and I went to a department store. There was a little boy crying loudly. My younger daughter said, “I believe his mother is going to tell him to stop because there are many people that don’t want to hear the noise!”However, his mom didn’t do it, much to the annoyance(恼怒) of everyone else in the store. You know what? Even though I loved kids so much, I disliked that boy greatly!Sometimes, it’s fine to let kids get a little crazy, buy not in public. They should be always taught how to behave in restaurants or other public places. If we don’t teach them, our kids may think that it is OK for them to destroy the peace, as the crying child in the department store did. Then they will easily develop into inconsiderate people who never think of how other people feel. And then who will like them? Who will want to spend time with them? I guess only their parents will.We teach our children not to steal, tell lies or fight. Shouldn’t we also teach them to respect others? Their bad behavior in public is something no one really wants to see, especially strangers.Well, this is all we have today. Just remember: kids need to learn good manners. They will go farther in life if we teach them well. Thanks for listening. See you tomorrow!1.The intended readers of the passage are_____A.people who need to be careful with their behavior in public.B.children who don’t behave well in publicC.parents who need to teach their kids to behave well in publicD.parents whose public behavior is not good2.The underlined word “inconsiderate” means______A. often making mistakesB. not caring about other people’s feelingsC. not wanting to help othersD. easy to get angry3.

The passage is most probably taken from____A. a radio programB. a news reportC. an advertisementD. a travel magazine。
