Unit1阅读理解题组练速度.阅读理解AChinese food is considered to be the biggest cultural exchange between China and other countries.The following dishes are each special in their own way.PekingDuckThis famous dish can be found at restaurants all around Beijing.High class restaurants take this dish so seriously that some even have their own duck farms and use only a special kind of duck for their specific Peking Duck dish.Peking Duck is famous for its thin skin,and its delicious meat,which is highly popular among all foreigners,including foreign celebrities and leaders.WonTonSoupWon Ton Soup,called “Hun Dun” in Chinese,is a highly welcoming dish in China.Since China is a country of many nationalities and different cultures,each region has their own shapes for won tons.Won tons are usually boiled and served in soup,but they can also be deep-fried.DumplingsDuring the Spring Festival,Chinese families will get together and have dumpling parties.It is said that the dish was invented by Zhang Zhongjing,one of the finest Chinese physicians in history.Dumplings have a 1,800-year-long history,which is why it is one of the most popular traditional foods in China and extremely popular in Western countries.They may be cooked by boiling,steaming,simmering,frying or baking.Egg-friedRiceFirstly from Chinas ancient western regions,egg-fried rice has now become part of Chinese peoples daily food.Famous for its pleasant smells,soft taste and handsome appearance,one can easily find this popular dish anywhere in China,from high class hotels to family-run restaurants on the street.While it is fairly easy to make,there are some points that should be kept in mind:use left-over rice rather than newly cooked rice for better taste.Additionally,before frying,the rice should be churned up.1.Which of the following has its own farm?A.Restaurants serving Won Ton Soup.B.Restaurants serving Peking Duck.C.Restaurants serving dumplings.D.Restaurants serving egg-fried rice.2.What makes dumplings so popular in China and Western countries?A.The long history.B.The different shapes.C.The special taste.D.The unique style of cooking.3.What can we learn about egg-fried rice?A.It tastes better if cooked with newly made rice.B.It first appeared in the northern part of China.C.It is served in restaurants of different classes.D.It was invented by an ancient Chinese physician.BGuanmei,a 65-year-old woman of the Dong ethnic group,is the inheritor of the Grand Song of Dong (侗族大歌),a national intangible cultural heritage in China.Her hometown Zaidai Village in Guizhou,southwestern China,is home to the Grand Song of the Dong ethnic group.The Grand Song of Dong dates from more than 2,500 years ago.The way Dong singers use their vocal cords (声带) is different from how formally trained singers do.It is a folk chorus with multi-parts,no conductor,and no accompaniment.Organically growing from their natural surroundings,it is recognized internationally as “the sound of Nature”.Before the Dong people had a writing system in 1958,the Dong culture,their history and stories were all recorded by means of songs.As a Dong saying goes,“Rice feeds the body and songs enrich the soul.”The Dong people sing right from their childhood.While not singing,they all work in their rice field.Guanmei has been singing the Grand Song of Dong all her life,making her a famous singing teacher in her hometown and nearby areas.“The songs are our means of passing on wisdom,knowledge and life experiences to others.I will not exist in this world 100 years later,but Grand songs will.Im honored to do this job,” Guanmei said.Kind-hearted,Guanmei has been volunteering to teach the Grand Song of Dong to the Dong children for over 30 years.Now she has more than 300 students.Guanmei is pleased to see the village children come to her house willingly when they have free time.“Nowadays,more and more young people leave the village and settle in cities.Decades later,the Dong children out of the village might know nothing about Grand songs.We should do something just now.Its our mission.What is once lost might be lost forever,” added Guanmei.4.What makes the Grand Song of Dong known as “the sound of Nature”?A.The outstanding conductor.B.The special musical instrument.C.The attractive natural environment.D.The inspiration from nature.5.What can we know about the Dong ethnic culture?A.The Dong singers are professionals.B.The Dong culture before 1958 has been largely lost.C.Singing is of vital importance to the Dong people.D.They have a written language with a history of over 2,500 years.6.How does Guanmei feel about the future of Grand songs?A.Concerned.B.Sympathetic.C.Optimistic.D.Satisfied.7.Whats the authors main purpose in writing the passage?A.To call on young people to return to the Dong village.B.To guide the Dong children to learn the Grand Song of Dong.C.To show a womans efforts to keep the Dong culture alive.D.To instruct people to appreciate the Grand Song of Dong.CThey say everything is bigger in Texas.While that may be true,some of the best things in Texas are quite small.Case in point:tiny Mount Vernon,a town of just under 3,000 people.But if you do come across Mount Vernon,you might just get an intention to stay.That happens a lot around here,and its worth noting how remarkable that is.Tom Wilkinson was born in Mount Vernon 87 years ago and moved back after he retired from his career as a college English professor in Dallas.Like many of his neighbors,Wilkinson can track his ancestors back to the pioneers who settled here in the 1870s.And like many,he values the simple life you cant easily find in big cities.“People are still polite.They hold the door open for you,” he says.“We grow strong roots here!”Preserving and honoring the past has been key to helping Mount Vernon survive.The residents have restored and reopened some of the empty stores,including the old barbershop,built more than 100 years ago.An old general store was turned into a combination space.Wander in on any given day and you might find a book club discussion,a Coffee Ladies meet-up,or a work session for the local genealogy(家谱) group among the tables of people chatting over cups of coffee and plates of food.Mount Vernon has the kind of big hearts you tend to find in a small town.For instance,when a local policeman was diagnosed with cancer last year,ten-year-old Lola McKellar set up a lemonade stand to raise money for his treatments.In 2015,when a 350-year flood sent water rushing into local homes,an army of volunteers showed up to get a wheelchair-bound neighbor and his wife to higher ground,and then came back to help rebuild.8.What does the author think of Mount Vernon?A.Remote.B.Wealthy.C.Primitive.D.Attractive.9.Why did Tom Wilkinson come back to Mount Vernon?A.He preferred the simple and natural life.B.He could continue his language teaching.C.He could live together with his ancestors.D.He could meet more neighbors of his age.10.What can we infer about peoples way of life in Mount Vernon from Paragraph 3?A.It is in danger of extinction.B.It is quickly changing over time.C.It is conservative but harmonious.D.It is being disturbed by the outside world.11.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The history of Mount Vernon.B.The humanity of Mount Vernon.C.The volunteers of Mount Vernon.D.The reconstruction of Mount Vernon.DIf a president,a philosopher,and one of the best-selling writers credited the same secret for their success,would you try to follow it too?What if the secret was something you already knew how to do?In fact,you probably do it every day.Heres what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote:“It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth.” Thomas Jefferson:“Walking is the best possible exercise.” Charles Dickens:“If I could not walk far and fast,I think I should just explode and die.”Researchers have found quite a lot of connections between walking and producing ideas.A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting.According to the study,walking outsidecompared with on a treadmill(跑步机)produces the most novel and highest-quality ideas.The movement aspect of walking is obviously key.Our creative thinking is generated by physical movement,which is exactly why walkingwith your dog,a friend,or alonefeeds creative thinking.The scenery is almost as important as the sweat.Breaking your routine with a walk can be a catalyst for fresh understanding of problems or projects.Just by going outside,you are stepping out of your familiar surroundings and your comfort zone,which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities.You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood.You can walk through a park and observe people joking or birds singing.Being inside,youre more likely to be lifeless,which means you dont have enough energy to wonder or create.So instead of setting a fitness goal,why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking?Involve yourself more closely in your surroundings.Turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world,to hear conversations and natural sounds,and to notice the way people move and the way the sun reflects in puddle(小水坑).12.How does the author introduce the topic?A.By providing background.B.By borrowing phrases from great minds.C.By giving definition.D.By presenting well-known examples.13.The underlined word in Paragraph 4 means something . A.causing a changeB.stopping progressC.catching eyesD.interrupting creativity14.What can we learn from the passage?A.Nature exploration improves fitness.B.Walking on a treadmill brings more energy.C.Working indoors makes people less creative.D.Familiar surroundings encourage novel ideas.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Exercise in Nature.B.Train Your Brain.C.Develop Your Creativity.D.Walk for Wonder.阅读七选五HelpingYourChildPrepareaSpeechPublic speaking doesnt come naturally for everyone.Most people get nervous before giving a speech,and children are no exception.1 Thinkaboutthesubject.The
