篇1：职称英语阅读理解题

The Smell of Money

For many years large supermarkets have been encouraging us to spend money by pumping the smell of freshly-baked bread into their stories. Now Dale Air, a leading firm of aroma (香气) consultants, has been approached by Barclay's Bank to develop suitable artificial smells for their banks. Researchers have suggested that surrounding customers with the “smell if money” will encourage them to feel relaxed and optimistic and give them added confidence in the bank's security and professionalism.

But before a smell can be manufactured and introduced into banks' air conditioning systems. It must be identified and chemically analyzed, and this has proved to be difficult. The problem is that banknotes-and coins tend to pick up the smell of their surroundings. So cash that has been sitting in a cash register at a fishmonger's (鱼贩) will smell of fish, and banknotes used to pay for meals in restaurants will tend to smell of food.

It may be a challenge, but aroma experts have little doubt that the use of artificial smells can be an effective form of subconscious advertising. Lunn Poly, a British travel company, introduced the smell of coconuts (椰子) into its travel agencies and saw a big increase in spending by holiday makers. Many cafes now have electric dispensers (自动售货机) that release the smell of freshly roasted coffee near their entrances, subtly encouraging customers to come in and have a drink or snack. Even prestigious car maker Rolls-Royce has been spraying the inside of its cars to enhance the smell of the leather seats.

“The sense of smell is probably the most basic and primitive of all human senses,” explains researcher Jim O'Rordan. “ There is a direct pathway from the olfactory (嗅觉的) organs in the nose to the brain.” It is certainly true that most people find certain smells incredibly strong, stringing memories and feelings in a way that few other stimulants (刺激物) can rival. It is a phenomenon marketing consultants have long recognized, but until recently have been unable to harness. “We've made great progress but the technology of odour production is still in its infancy,” says O'Riordan, “Who knows where it will take us.”

1. Artificial smells have NOT been used in ___________.

A cafes

B banks

C travel agencies

D supermarkets

2. Researchers believe that introducing the “smell of money” into banks will encourage people___________.

A to spend money

B to feel confident about banks

C to earn more money

D to withdraw money from banks

Experiments under way in several labs aim to create beneficial types of genetically modified (GM) foods, including starchier potatoes and caffeine-free coffee beans. Genetic engineers are even trying to transfer genes from a cold-winter fish to make a frost-resistant tomato.

A low-sugar GM strawberry now in the works might one day allow people with health problems such as diabetes to enjoy the little delicious red fruits again. GM beans and grains supercharged with protein might help people at risk of developing kwashiorkor. Kwashiorkor, a disease caused by severe lack of protein, is common in parts of the world where there are severe food shortages.

Commenting on GM foods, Jonathon Jones, a British researcher, said: “The future benefits will be enormous, and the best is yet to come”.

To some people, GM foods are no different from unmodified foods. “A tomato is a tomato,” said Brian Sansoni, an American food manufacturer.

Critics of GM foods challenge Sansoni’s opinion. They worry about the harm that GM crops might do to people, other animals, and plants.

In a recent lab study conducted at Cornell University, scientists tested pollen made by Bt corn, which makes up one-fourth of the U.S. corn crop. The scientist sprinkled the pollen onto milkweed, a plant that makes a milky juice and is the only known food source of the monarch butterfly caterpillar. Within four days of munching on the milkweed leaves, almost half of a test group of caterpillars had died. “Monarchs are considered to be a flagship species for conservation.” said Cornell researcher Linda Raynor. “This is a warning bell.”

Some insects that are not killed by GM foods might find themselves made stronger. How so? The insecticides used to protect most of today’s crops are sprayed on the crops when needed and decay quickly in the environment. But GM plants produce a continuous level of insecticide. Insect species feeding on those crops may develop resistance to the plants and could do so in a hurry, say the critics. Insects may also develop a resistance to the insecticide Bt.

At the forum on GM food held last year in Canada. GM crops that have been made resistant to the herbicide might crossbreed with wild plants, creating “superweeds” that could take over whole fields.

So where do you stand? Should GM food be banned in the United States, as they are in parts of Europe? Or do their benefits outweigh any of the risks they might carry?

1. Paragraphs 1,2&3 tries to give the idea that

A) GM foods may bring about great benefits to humans.

B) We cannot recognize the benefits of GM foods too early.

C) GM foods may have both benefits and harm.

D) GM foods are particularly good to the kwashiorkor patients.

2. Why is the case of the pollen-sprayed milkweed citied in Paragraph 6?

A) It is cited to show GM foods can kill insects effectively.

B) It is cited to show GM foods contain more protein.

C) It is cited to show GM foods also have a dark side.

D) It is cited to show GM foods may harm crops.

3. What happens to those insects when not killed by the spray of insecticide?

A) They may lose their ability to produce offspring.

B) They may have a higher ability to adapt to the environment.

C) They move to other fields free from insecticide.

D) They never eat again those plants containing insecticide.

4. Which of the following statements concerning banning GM foods is true according to the passage?

A) Underdeveloped countries have banned GM foods.

B) Both Europe and the U.S. have banned GM foods.

C) Most European countries have not banned GM foods.

D) The United States has not banned GM foods.

5. What is the writer’s attitude to GM foods?

A) We cannot tell from the passage.

B) He thinks their benefits outweigh their risks.

C) He thinks their risks outweigh their benefits.

D) He thinks their benefits and risks are balanced.

2.及时作总结：有的考生练习做了不少，但是水平提高不多。究其原因，主要是缺少了总结这一环节。正所谓“学而不思则罔”。只练习不总结就是缺少了更高层次的思考，不能知道自己的不足在哪里，更不能有针对性地加以改正。在作总结的时候，考生可以站在出题者的角度

托福阅读理解题

Questions 1-11

Before the 1500 s， the western plains of North America were dominated by farmers. One group， the Mandans， lived in the upper Missouri River country， primarily in present-day North Dakota. They had large villages of houses built close together. The tight arrangement enabled the Mandans to protect themselves more easily from the attacks of others who might seek to obtain some of the food these highly capable farmers stored from one year to the next.

The women had primary responsibility for the fields. They had to exercise considerable skill to produce the desired results， for their northern location meant fleeting growing seasons. Winter often lingered； autumn could be ushered in by severe frost. For good measure， during the spring and summer，drought， heat， hail， grasshoppers， and other frustrations might await the wary grower.

Under such conditions， Mandan women had to grow maize capable of weathering adversity. They began as early as it appeared feasible to do so in the spring. clearing the land，using fire to clear stubble from the fields and then planting. From this point until the first green corn could be harvested，the crop required labor and vigilance.

Harvesting proceeded in two stages. In August the Mandans picked a smaller amount of the crop before it had matured fully. This green corn was boiled， dried， and shelled， with some of the maize slated for immediate consumption and the rest stored in animal-skin bags. Later in the fall， the people picked the rest of the corn. They saved the best of the harvest for seeds or for trade， with the remainder eaten right away or stored for later use in underground reserves. With appropriate banking of the extra food， the Mandans protected themselves against the disaster of crop failure and accompanying hunger.

The women planted another staple， squash， about the first of June， and harvested it near the time of the green corn harvest. After they picked it， they sliced it， dried it， and strung the slices before they stored them. Once again， they saved the seed from the best of the year s crop. The Mandans also grew sunflowers and tobacco； the latter was the particular task of the old men.

1. The Mandans built their houses close together in order to

（A） guard their supplies of food

（B） protect themselves against the weather

（C） allow more room for growing corn

（D） share farming implements

2.The word “enabled” in line 5 is closest in meaning to

（A）covered

（B） reminded

（C）helped

（D）isolated

3.The word “considerable” in line 10 is closest in meaning to

篇6：如何做好阅读理解题

如何做好语文阅读理解题?

该不该读?

腹有诗书气自华

高三不阅读如何提升阅读理解力和语文素养?不阅读何谈作文的丰富性、深刻性、文采度以及深厚的文化意蕴呢?阅读的目的有两方面：

长远目的

要在阅读中开阔视野，提高对美的鉴赏力与自身的修养，使得阅读者终生受益。

短期目的

短期目的就是分类阅读，通过阅读来提高自己的语文素养、语文积累和思维能力，从而达到以阅读促积累、以阅读促思考、以阅读促写作。具体来说，就是通过指导阅读不同的文本类型来养成阅读思考的习惯，使自己走进文本，亲近文字，感受文学类文本语言的魅力，提高理解文言文和现代文水平，从而内化为写作能力。

读什么?

非学无以广才

走进书店或者图书馆，古今中外的作品汗牛充栋，而短短的高三一年到底要读些什么呢，这是大家最关心的问题。阅读本应是慢慢积累才能发生质变的过程，也应是多维度的，要把课内与课外阅读结合、必读与选读结合、精研和博览结合、经典和时尚结合、文字与视频结合。

(一)试卷，教材集锦

首先，数量大，最熟悉。高三语文很少再学习新课文，试卷是高三复习的主要材料，每道题目都做过，老师也讲过，已经花了大量的时间和精力。

再次，品质优，针对性强。试卷上的文本一般都是经过命题者精心选择的文质兼美的材料，而且文本从形式、难度都贴近高考[微博]的，以江苏的高考为例，文言文，考人物传记;诗歌，主要考唐宋诗词;文学类文本，主要考散文与小说，这些文本试卷都是现成的。

从这些方面来讲充分开掘使用手头的这些试卷无疑是提高语文的捷径之一。

(二)素材，源头活水

喜欢写议论文的小伙伴积累素材很重要，不但要大众化的素材，更要小众化的素材，甚至要深度素材。这些素材不会轻易获得的，需要用心准备的。建议以下内容：

1、生动的视频。视频阅读是一种容量大、速度快、时效强且效果好的阅读方法，是积累素材首先的方法。当然在选择上是有讲究的，一是要典型的或有影响人物与事件，二是要思想深刻。例如《新闻1+1》《看见》《大师》《人物》《读书》《艺术人生》等。

2、鲜活的报刊。杂志最能透出时代气息，把握时代脉搏，描绘精彩人生故事，传达出深刻智慧的认识，也是积累小众素材的上好选择。例如《三联生活周刊》《人物周刊》《看世界》等。

3、透彻的传记。读透一本书，读透一个人，让人物成为认识人生与社会、理想与现实的载体。如《名人传》《乔布斯传》等，这些传记将成为写作的深度素材。

(三)两本案头书，厚积薄发

一本，发展特长读。古今中外名著皆可，关键是自己喜欢。名著不厌百回读，一年精读一本书，读透了会受益匪浅!同时兼顾写作需要：如果你擅长写议论文，那就多读点名家杂文;如果你擅长写记叙文，那么读点汪曾祺沈从文的短篇小说;你擅长写散文，那就多读点毕淑敏、贾平凹的散文……

一本，深刻思维读。选一本像周国平、余秋雨、鲁迅等思想类或文化类散文，弥补中学生思维肤浅的通病，也让作文透出人生的睿智。

总之，博览无限，开卷有益。

怎么读?

操千曲而后晓声

阅读有法可以提高阅读效率。爱因斯坦读书是一总，二分，三合。毛泽东则是不动笔墨不看书。马克思读书是博、记、诵。建议：(一)约取。博观要约取!每次阅读，不管是精读试卷，还是博览群书，不管是读5分钟，还是读半小时，能不能至少摘抄一句话，并记住这一句话!那一年读下来，会有多少，还会觉得腹内空空吗?(二)评点。评点不限字数，动笔就有收获。有感悟就形成短文，随笔成练笔，语言与思想水到渠成。

学习语文不读书不行，而学会读书提高的不仅仅是语文。“聪明出于勤奋，天才在于积累”，想在高考战场上屹立不倒，就要懂得将自己的利剑磨利，平时除了认真上课和备考外，不妨多留心生活多看书。
