阅读理解A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A MENTORING(导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.
Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.
Alex Goldberg,the program's founder,said:“We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.”
“We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth.For example,we've secured internships(实习) with worldfamous firms such as Honda.”
“At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring,it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.” Kieran Hepburn,14,is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far.In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum(论坛).
The event was held for young people from around the world,to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look.Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event.Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience.“Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop,it was amazing,” he said,“We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.”
The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life.It dealt with issues(问题) such as drug abuse,violence and unemployment.
Kieran said:“It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”
The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.For details visit www.younginspirations.com.

阅读理解阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
“ Inner beauty is the real beauty ”, you might have heard this phrase a thousand times. However, do you know the real reason behind the phrase? Inner beauty is truly the real beauty, because external beauty fades with time. You might praise someone on how good he/she looks. But, what if that person turns out to be arrogant. What is the purpose of beauty then? Well to throw light upon the phrase, we have listed some reasons why inner beauty is the real beauty
1. Characteristics are important
Sure, the look of a person is important but characteristics are equally important. It is not necessary that a good-looking person would turn out to be an honest one. Looks are always deceptive. So, judge a person by his/her traits, which is the real test of inner beauty.
2. Inner beauty is always admired
When anyone talks to you, he/she would notice the manner in which you speak. If you speak softly, then the person would remember you as a beautiful person.
Nobody will remember what you wore, or how you looked. So, inner beauty is the first test of true beauty.
3. Inner beauty is valuable
A person can be beautiful with his or her actions and thoughts. If your thoughts are positive, it can be a motivating factor for others. It is your ideas that make you beautiful. Many women have complex related to looks but with good actions, you do not have to feel inferior.
4. Inner beauty is kindness
Outer beauty will fade away, but inner beauty shall remain through your deeds. Kindness, love, empathy, generosity are all traits of inner beauty. If you have these traits, then you are the most beautiful person on earth. A kind and warm person is always remembered from the bottom of the heart.
1.Which diagram shows the structure of the passage?
2.What will be discussed in the following passage?
A. Compare outer beauty with inner beauty.
B. Emphasize the importance of the inner beauty.
C. What should you do in later life?
D. Inner beauty is the real beauty and shall remain.
3.The author quoted the sentence “ Inner beauty is the real beauty” to __________.
A. show respect for the writer of the phrase.
B. improve his passage.
C. strengthen the confidence of his opinion.
D. make some comments about inner beauty.

2016高考训练题。阅读理解阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn't see some rain soon we would lose everything.
I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously walking with a great effort... trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.
Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he held in them. Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site.
Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap up the water cupped in my beautiful boy's hand.
I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops... and more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, Himself, was weeping with pride.

参考答案1—4、DCBC
阅读理解, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
The Pacific Ocean is the largest of the world’s four oceans. Its name comes from the Latin meaning “peaceful sea”, and was given by the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, whose voyage was plain there.
However, the Pacific is not always peaceful. Its islands are often hit by typhoons, and the countries surrounding it have many volcanoes and are often hit by earthquakes. Tsunamis
(海啸 ), caused by underwater earthquakes, have destroyed many low-lying coastal towns.
The Ocean contains about 46% of Earth’s surface water, and makes up about 32% of its total surface area, more than all of the planet’s land areas.
The equator (赤道) divides it into the North Pacific and the South Pacific Oceans, the latter of which contains most of its largest 25,000 islands. The largest landmass entirely within the Pacific Ocean is the island of New Guinea, with Australia to its south;it has been the world’s second-largest island since separating from the Australian mainland.The lowest point on Earth, the Mariana Trench (海沟), lies 10,911 meters below the surface of the Pacific, but the Ocean’s average depth is 4,280 meters.
The water temperature of the Pacific varies from freezing at the poles to about 300C near the equator. Its salinity (盐分) also varies from place to place. The water near the equator is less salty because of the rainfall there, but at the poles salinity is also low, because little evaporation (蒸发) takes place in the cold water of these areas.
The exploitation (开采) of the Pacific’s mineral wealth is difficult in its deeper parts. However, in the shallow waters of the continental shelves off the coasts of Australia and New Zealand, oil and natural gas are exploited, and pearls are harvested along the coasts of Australia, Japan, Nicaragua and the Philippines.
The Pacific’s greatest wealth is its fish, but the fishing industry has been harmed greatly by marine pollution. The biggest harm comes from rivers that carry into the Ocean many chemicals used as fertilizers in agriculture, as well as waste. These days many countries are coming together to try to protect the Ocean.
1. Ferdinand Magellan gave the Ocean its name because he________.
A. expected to live a peaceful life
B.hoped there would be no more wars
C.came upon no serious storms while crossing it
D.expected to stay safe and healthy there
2. From the passage, what do we know about the Pacific Ocean?
A.It contains about 32% of the Earth’s surface water.
B.It has suffered many natural disasters.
C.Its deeper parts haven’t been exploited.
D.New Guinea is on the north of it.
3. Why is the water at the poles less salty?
A.Little of it turns into steam.
B.There is abundant rainfall there.
C.The ocean currents are slow there.
D.Melting snow adds water to the ocean.
4. We can infer from the passage that________.
A. countries near the Ocean benefit from being on it
B.pearls are a major source of income in Japan
C.most people prefer to live near the Ocean
D.all the countries along the Ocean are developed

2016高考训练题。阅读理解阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。Fear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head,according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear. Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting(收缩)and pumping blood around their bodies,compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed. Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event,depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation. Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said:“Our study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.” The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr Garfinkel said,“The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. Thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we don't see—and guide whether we see fear.” To further understand this relationship,the scientists also used a brain scanner to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a person's feeling of fear. “We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain ‘speak’ to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear,” Dr Garfinkel said. “We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders,and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.” .What is the finding of the study? A. One's fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear. B. Fear is a result of one's relaxed heartbeat. C. Fear has something to do with one's health.D. One's heart affects how he feels fear. 2.The study was carried out by analyzing ________.
A. volunteers' reactions to horrible pictures and data from their brain scans
B. the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditions C. volunteers' heartbeats when they saw terrible pictures D. different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart-brain communication .Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “mechanism” in
Paragraph 6? A. Order.
B. Machine. C. System.
D. Treatment. .This study may contribute to ________. A. explaining the cycle of fear and anxietyB. treating anxiety and stress better
C. finding the key to the heart-brain communication D. understanding different fears in our hearts and heads
