英語閱讀理解【1】
For ten weeks，in a great house on the island of St Thomas，Doctor Sharp，a famous scientist，tried to teach a six﹣year﹣old dolphin to speak English，Margaret Howe，an experiment helper，would live day and night with Peter，a dolphin.And they would eat，bathe，sleep and play together from Sunday to Friday，with only Saturdays off for Margaret.She lived her 1ife in swimming clothes﹣﹣with a coat on colder evenings﹣﹣﹣and cut her hair short so that she could get on with Peter more easily.
After a few days，Peter was becoming more and more interested in winning her attentions.He threw a ball against her shower towel to get her to play.As time went by，he only wanted to play ball with her and not on his own.
The problem was that，just at the time Peter and Margaret began to get on well just as two best friends，the experiment ended and the lab was closed.After a few weeks，Margaret received the sad news that Peter had killed himse1f by refusing to breathe，and sinking to the bottom of his pool.

【考點】日常生活類閱讀.
【分析】原文大意：
十周以來，在圣托馬斯島上的一所大房子里，一位著名的科學家夏普博士試圖教一個六歲的海豚說英語，實驗助手瑪格麗特•豪，日夜都會與彼得相伴，它是一只海豚.他們會從星期日到星期五一起吃，洗，睡，一起玩，只有星期六不在一起.她常年穿著游泳衣，在較冷的夜晚加一件外套，剪短頭發使她更容易與彼得接觸.
幾天后，彼得對于贏得她的關注變得越來越感興趣.他把一個球扔在她的浴巾上，讓她玩.隨著時間的.推移，他只想和她一起打球，而不是自己打球.
問題是，就在彼得和瑪格麗特開始成為兩個最好的朋友時，實驗結束了，實驗室被關閉.幾個星期后，瑪格麗特收到了悲傷的消息，彼得已經通過拒絕呼吸自殺，沉到了池底.
海豚可能不會說英語﹣但是，就像人類一樣，他們都知道心碎的感覺.
【解答】38.A，推理判斷題.在文中第一段寫到"live day and night with Peter，a dolphin"她與peter一起生活，之后a dolphin作為同位語修飾peter，可知peter是一只海豚，所以選擇A.
39.C，推理判斷題.文中提到"play together from Sunday to Friday，with only Saturdays off for Margaret"它們倆從周日到周一都在一起，只有周六不在，所以它們倆在一起的時間是一周六天，選擇C.
40.B，推理判斷題.文中提到"with only Saturdays off for Margaret"，周六Margaret休息不在實驗室，所以A錯誤;最后指出"the lab was closed.After a few weeks，Margaret received the sad news that Peter had killed himse1f by refusing to breathe，and sinking to the bottom of his pool."實驗室關閉，peter自殺并且沉到了池底，所以B正確;文章做后一段寫到"Dolphins may not speak English"，并不會說英語，所以C錯誤;D選項文章并沒有相關介紹，所以D選項錯誤.因此選擇B.
41.C，推理判斷題.對于A選項，文章中沒有相關介紹，排除;文中提到"just at the time Peter and Margaret began to get on well just as two best friends"她與海豚成為了朋友，可見他們倆關系很好;所以B選項錯誤;文章最后一句指出"they know all about broken hearts"海豚會心碎，所以有類似人類的感覺，所以C選項正確;文章提到"cut her hair short so that she could get on with Peter more easily"實驗過程中她把頭發剪短了，所以可知并不是實驗全程都是短發，之前是長發，所以D選項錯誤.因此選擇C.
英語閱讀理解【2】
Your brain controls everything you do. It makes it possible for you to think, Learn, create and feel; to blink(眨眼) and breathe and for your heart to heat --this fantastic control center is your brain. It is so amazing that a famous scientist once called it " the most complex(復雜) thing we have yet discovered in our universe".
Can this small grey organ(器官) , which weighs less than one and a half kilos, really do so much? Amazingly , your brain contains about 100 billion neurons(神經元) -it would take you over 3 ,000 years to count them all. Believe it or not, the activity in your brain never stops. Your neurons create and send more messages than all the phones in the world. And although one neumn creates only a little electricity, all your neurons together can produce enough electricity to power a light bulb (燈泡).
So exactly how fast does your brain work? Well, imagine this: a bee lands on your foot. Neurons in your skin send this information to your brain at a speed of more than 240 kilometers per hour. Your brain then uses other neurons to send the message back to your foot to shake the bee off quickly. These neurons can send this information at more than 320 kilometers per hour. No computer has your hrain's unbelievable ability to deal with the amount of information coming from your eyes, ears and other sensory organs.
But how does your brain allow you to leam things Lhat you will use in the future? The structure (結構) of your brain changes every time you have a new thought, remember or leam something. For example, riding a bike seems impossible at first, but soon you are able to do it. How? As you practice, your brain sends "bike riding" messages again and again Soon, the actions are learnt and you are able to ride a bike easily from then on.
42. From the passage we know that neurons______________ .
A. receive messages very slowly B. are only found in your skin
C. send messages to your brain D. need electricity to work
43. In Paragraph 3, the writer mentions computers to ______________ .
A. compare them wich the human brain B. show how fast they have become
C. say that computers have no abilities D. ask people to use computers more
44. When you have a new thought, ______________ .
A. your brain will power a light bulb B. your heart beats faster
C. you remember something D. the structure of your brain changes
45. The article is mainly ahout ________________ .
A all the steps when your brain leams things
B. what an unbelievable organ the human brain is
C. how the brain makes people smarter than computers
D. the things you can do to make your brain work faster
【考點】教育文化類閱讀;內容歸納;文中細節.
【分析】本文是一篇教育文化類短文.主要介紹了我們的大腦控制一切，它會讓我們思考，學習，創造，感覺，眨眼，呼吸，心跳，科學家把它稱為"宇宙中最復雜的東西". 大腦中有1000多億個神經元，神經元產生信息，并把信息傳送到大腦.比如：有只蜜蜂落在你的腳上，神經元就會把這個信息傳到大腦，大腦就會傳給你的`腳一 個信息，把蜜蜂抖掉.其速度比電腦快多了，當你有一個新的思想或者記憶、學習的時候，大腦的結構就會改變.
【解答】42.C. 細節理解題.根據"Your neurons create and send more messages"以及"Neurons in your skin send this information to your brain"可知神經元把信息傳送到大腦.故選C.
43.A.細節理解 題.根 據"No computer has your brain's unbelievable ability to deal with the amount of information coming from your eyes，ears and other sensory organs." 沒有電腦能夠處理這么大量的來自眼睛，耳朵以及其他感官的信息.主要是用電腦和人腦進行比較.故選A.
44.D.細節理解題.根據"The structure (結構)of your brain changes every time you have a new thought"可知當有新的想法的時候，大腦的結構就會發生變化.故選D.
45.B.主旨大意題.本文主要介紹了人的大腦---這個神奇的器官.大腦控制一切，它會讓我們思考，學習，創造，感覺，眨眼，呼吸，心跳，科學家把它稱為"宇宙中最復雜的東西".故選B.
【點評】首先要仔細閱讀短文，掌握大意，然后結合具體的題目再讀短文，找出相關信息，就可以確定正確答案.
