高中英语阅读理解+七选五考前小题提分练二（1）Known for its complicated, seemingly wavelike sandstone walls and the rays of sunlight that shine into them, Arizona's Antelope Canyon（羚羊峡谷）is an everlasting attraction for tourists. It's a slot canyon, meaning it formed from water carving it out over millions of years. It sits about 3, 700 feet above sea level and takes its name from the antelope that once lived in it.The canyon forms part of Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park in the Navajo Nation. The Navajo Nation limits visits to either the Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon to two hours and requires all visitors to be led by authorized guides. If you're planning a trip and need help deciding which area to visit, keep these recommendations in mind.When： Tours are available twice a day during the week year-round, though exact times vary by season； tours are not available on weekends or major holidays.Cost： Tour companies fees vary, but tickets, including entrance to the park, generally start at around $ 60 for 90-minute tours of Upper Antelope Canyon. Tours of Lower Antelope Canyon tend to be around an hour and generally cost around $ 40 per adult and $ 20 for children. Must-know tip： Most of Arizona does not follow daylight saving time, though the Navajo Nation, where Antelope Canyon is located, does. Check with your tour operator to confirm the precise time of your tour.Antelope Canyon hosts tons of visitors and, in order to protect the canyon walls from damage, no bags of any kind are permitted in either the Upper or Lower section.

His father was in jail (监狱). His mother had to work nights, so she wasn't at home in the evening and was sleeping when he woke up.As the weeks went on, David slowly gave up doing his homework and staying on task, and began to get into more troubles out on the playground. He was going downhill quickly. It was clear that he was looking for any kind of attentioneven if it was negative. I also knew that he was not getting much support at home. If David was going to pass the fifth grade, I need to come up with a plan.One day, David and I sat in the library and just talked. I told him that I knew that he was not an “F” student and that I was not going to let him fail. It was my job to teach him, but his job was to try. We talked about home and what he did after school. He knew what I expected him to do and that I respected him as a person. As a result, his behavior in my room improved. From then on David and I periodically sat in the library and just talked. He told me that his goal was to pass the fifth grade and not be suspended (停学). Finally, the last day of school arrived. David had met his goal.During Teacher Appreciation (感谢) Week, the students had written about any teacher they wanted. In my booklet, on a wrinkled piece of paper, it reads. “You never give up on me and focus on the silver lining because you know I am smart. And for that I not only appreciate you, but admire you”, signed David. After reading that, I sat down with tears rolling down my face. We, as teachers, never know when or how we affect our students. But it's the note like this that makes all we do worthwhile.4. According to the passage, we know the writer is_.A. talentedB. brainlessC. patientD. selfish5.

The very spring and root of honesty and virtue lie in good education.PlutarchCWeve certainly seen a dog nursing a wound, or a deer calling out in pain. But many animals suffer in silence. The most silent sufferers in the animal world may be fish.Do fish feel pain? A new study from the University of Liverpool has found that fish feel pain in a way thats “strikingly similar” to humans. For the study, Lynne Sneddon, from the universitys Institute of Integrative Biology, reviewed the existing body of research98 studies in alland concluded that they feel pain just as sharply as we do.When subject to a potentially painful event, fish show changes in behavior such as stopping feeding and reduced activity, which are prevented when a pain-relieving drug is provided. “In fact, like us, they breathe heavily and stop eating when theyre hurting. They will even rub the part of their body that aches.” Sneddon notes in a university release.To understand pain in other species, scientists look at nociceptors (疼痛感受器), which send signals to the brain when the body is being damaged. Humans have them throughout their skin, bones and muscles. Nociceptors have also been found in many other species, including even those tiny fruit flies.Fish have the same means to detect pain signals and the equipment to receive them. Besides, the fishermens opinion that fish feel no pain just doesnt add up from an evolutionary view. Pain is an efficient messenger that tells, us that weve got a problem. An animal that cant feel it wont get that memo (ER), even if it hurts itself.“If we accept fish experience pain, then this has great significance for how we treat them,” Sneddon says. “Care should be taken when handling fish to avoid damaging theirs sensitive skin and they should be humanely caught and killed.”7.What can we learn about fish?A. They are insensitive to pain.B. They are able to sense pain.C. They won't react to painkillers.D. Their brain is the first to send pain signals.8. What will a fish do when its lips get hurt?A. It might rub its lips.B. It will keep its mouth open.C. It will swim around like crazy.D. It will keep eating to forget pain.9. What is the significance of the study according to Sneddon?A. People will treat fish in a kinder way.B. People can understand evolution better.C. People can develop more drugs to save fish.D. People will think of more ways to catch fish.10. What does the underlined part "add up" probably mean?A. Disappear.B. Put forward.C. Make sense.D. Happen.Part B第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Improve Your Study HabitsPerhaps you are an average student with average intelligence.
