一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Huawei Technologies Co. displayed its much-anticipated in-house operating system Harmony OS on Friday, marking what some call the Chinese tech giant's biggest push yet to build its own software ecosystem for the era of the internet of things.The move is also expected to weaken the influence of the United States government's restrictions on Huawei using Google's Android operating system in smartphones, analysts said.Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei's consumer business group, speaking in Dongguan, Guangdong province, said it is difficult to deliver a smooth experience across different devices with the huge amount of codes involved in the Android and Linux operating systems. Linux is an open-source operating system widely used in personal computers and other hardware."Harmony is a next-generation operating system designed to address the challenge," Yu said, adding that it will be able to support a wide range of application situations, including smart TVs, automobiles and wearables.The internet of things refers to a network of devices and other objects that can connect with each other and exchange data.Yu said the US government's restrictions have accelerated the company's marketing of the system, which now has about 4,000 employees working on it.The senior executive said Harmony can be used in its smartphones. But Android is still Huawei's preferred choice for handsets if the company is allowed to use it."But when Android is not available, Harmony can be applied immediately to smartphones. Harmony is ready," Yu added.Jia Mo, an analyst at market research company Canalys, said even if Huawei does not use Harmony in its smartphones in the short term, its smartwatches and smart TVs can be equipped with Harmony to widen its use and accumulate more experience in building an ecosystem."Also, more importantly, Huawei chose to build Harmony into an open-source operating system and allow it to be compatible with Android. Thus Harmony will be more accepted by current Android users. This will prevent Huawei from repeating the fate of Microsoft in promoting smartphone systems," Jia said. Microsoft failed to popularize the use of its Windows system in smartphones years ago.（1）What is the significance of the Harmony OS?A. It symbolizes Huawei has finished its own software ecosystem.B. It may reduce the threat from US government's restrictions.C. It will accumulate more experience in building an ecosystem.D.

2．阅读理解Idioms are one of the hardest parts of learning a language. For those of you who don't know, an idiom is a phrase which has a meaning, but the meaning is not clear from the words themselves. If you translate an idiom word for word, it sometimes makes no sense at all. They are like puzzles and even native speakers can get confused when someone uses a phrase that they've never heard of.With that in mind, here are five common English idioms that you can use in a variety of Situations.⒈Get your act together (Meaning: you need to improve your behaviour/work)This might be something your teacher says to you if you score badly in an exam or if you misbehave in class. You can also use it to talk about people in general. For example, if your friend is being mean or nasty for no reason, then you can tell them that they need to get their act together.⒉Pull yourself together (Meaning: calm down)This is a somewhat impolite way of telling someone that they are overreacting and that they need to relax. Only use this if you think the person you are speaking to is getting upset over something insignificant. If your friend tells you that their close relative has died, it is NOT the time to tell them to pull themselves together.⒊I'm feeling under the weather (Meaning: I'm sick)Yes, it's longer and more difficult to say than 'I'm sick', but if your English teacher asks you why you haven't done your homework, he or she is more likely to forgive you if you say that you were feeling under the weather. You may not have done your English homework, but your teacher might be impressed that you know how to make eloquent excuses in a foreign language.⒋It's a piece of cake (Meaning: it's easy)I don't know why this means what it does, but sometimes you just have to accept that English people use weird phrases.⒌Break a leg (Meaning: good luck!)This is perhaps one of the most confusing yet well-known English idioms. If someone says this to you, do not take offence or think they are threatening you; they are just wishing you luck. It is most often used for people wishing success to actors and actresses before they perform on the stage, but it can be said in other situations, too.All in all, learning a new language can be challenging. It's definitely not a piece of cake, especially when there are so many confusing idioms. However, with enough hard work and interest, you will succeed in no time. Break a leg!（1）Which idiom is proper for you to say to your worried classmate who is to take part in the 800-metre race at the school sports meet?A.Get your act together.B.Pull yourself together.C.Break a leg.D.It's a piece of cake.（2）How should you respond when you hear your deskmate say, "I am feeling under the weather."A."What's wrong with you?"B."Don't worry. Let's call 120."C."Get up and finish your homework."D."Why don't you take an umbrella with you?"（3）According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about idioms?A.They sometimes make no sense at all.B.Native speakers have trouble understanding idioms sometimes.C.Idioms are the hardest part of learning a language.D.We can guess the meaning of an idiom from the words in it.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，习语是学习语言最困难的部分之一，作者列举了五个常见习语的用法。
