高考英语阅读理解训练十篇阅读理解强化训练12014 saw that the Ebola virus reappeared in Guinea and soon spread into neighbouring Liberia and Sierra Leone, killing over 7,800 people by the new year of 2015. It leads to viral hemorrhagic fever, which is characterized by high fever and internal bleeding etc.Ebola is named after the Ebola River, where it was first discovered in 1976. There are five different types of the Ebola virus, each named after where they first happened: Sudan, Ivory Coast, Reston, Bundibugyo, and Zaire. The deadliest of the five, Zaire, was responsible for the 2012 out- break, and is believed to be attacking Guinea.Ebola is naturally found in fruit bats, which pass on the virus to other animals by biting or sucking on their blood. Humans who are suffering from the Ebola infection might have touched the bodily fluids of the infected animals. Once infected, a human becomes a carrier of the deadly virus.Unfortunately, there are no disease - specific treatments for Ebola. Health-care workers only supply the infected people with physiological saline(生理盐水) to keep them in good condition. Ebola can kill 90% of those infected, especially in underdeveloped societies like those in Africa. Since there have been many cases of nurses catching the disease from patients, they are forced to wear strict protective clothes, and in some cases, not even allowed to get close to the infected. The fact that there is no cure for the Ebola virus is what makes the outbreak a challenging one to control.What’s worse, since we live in a n interconnected world, where the situation in one country can affect us all, the influences of Ebola are huge: damaging trade relations, affecting foreign visitors, and weakening entire countries. It is feared that the disease may spread throughout west African countries. For every country, a strong health system can decrease the risk of health attack and lessen the impact of Ebola.1. What is the function of the first paragraph in the whole passage?A. To arouse the reader’s concern.B. To summarize the whole passage.C. To give a detailed description of Ebola.D. To introduce the theme of the whole passage.2. What can we infer about the Ebola virus?A. It has caused a panic in many countries.B. It is the most dangerous virus in the world.C. A strong health system is important to fight against Ebola.D. Anyone who was infected Ebola will die.3. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us _________.A. What the Ebola virus isB. How the Ebola virus spreadsC. How the Ebola virus is treatedD. How the Ebola virus affects the life4. Which of the following is true?A. There are no effective drugs to treat Ebola by far.B.

阅读理解强化训练2If I asked you to sit down and remember a list of phone numbers or a series of facts, how would you go about it? There’s a fair chance that you’d be doing it wrong.One of the interesting things about the mind is that even though we all have one, we all have one, we don’t have perfect insight(洞察力) into how to get the best from it. This is partly because of flaws(缺陷) in our ability to think about our own thinking. Studying this self-reflective thought process exposes human being’ personal blind spots.One area there these blind spots are particularly large i s learning. We’re actually surprisingly bad at having insight into how we learn best.Researchers Jeffrey Karpicke and Henry Roediger IIII made an experiment, where they asked college students to learn pairs of Swahib and English words. So, for example, they had to learn that if they were given the Swahili word “mashua” the correct response was “boat”. They could have used the sort of facts you might get on a high-school quiz, but the use of Swahili meant that there was little chance their participants could use any background knowledge to help them learn. After the pairs had all been learnt, there would be a final test a week later.Now if many of us were revising this list we might study the list, test ourselves and then repeat this cycle, dropping items we got right. This makes studying and testing quicker and allows us to focus our effort on the things we haven’t yet learnt. It’s a plan that seems to make perfect sense, but that is disastrous if we really want to learn properly.Karpicke and Roediger asked students to prepare for a test in various ways, and compared their success—for example, one group kept testing themselves on all items without dropping what they were getting right, while another group stopped testing themselves on their correct answers. On the final exam differences between the groups were dramatic. While dropping items from study didn’t have much of an effect, the people who dropped items from testing performed relatively poorly.It seems the effective way to learn is to practice getting items back from memory, not trying to consolidate(巩固) them in there by further study. Moreover, dropping items entirely from you revision, which is the advice given by many study guides, is wrong. You can stop studying them if you’ve learnt them, but you should keep testing what you’ve learnt if you want to remember them at the time of the final exam.So the evidence has a moral for teachers: there’s more to testing than finding out what students knows—tests can also help us remember.1. According to the passage, we often fail to remember facts because _______.A. we ignore our weakness in memorizing thingsB. we don’t understand well what we are learningC. we don’t know where our metal blind spots areD. we take improper ways to memorize for good ones2. The researchers’ experiment was intended to _______.A. confirm we don’t know how to learn effectivelyB. find out how we can consolidate our knowledge betterC.distinguish effects of memory in learning different languagesD. prove the importance of background knowledge in memorizing3. What does the authour believe leads to a good memory?A. Constant measure of your knowledge.B. Frequent revision of what you learn.C. Firm abandonment of what you’re poor at.D. Strong desire fr grasping new knowledge.4. The proper title for the passage is ________.A. An experiment on memoryB. A concept of human memoryC. A way to improve your memoryD. A discovery of a mental blind spot阅读理解强化训练2【语篇解读】这是一篇教育文章。
