There are thousands of coral reefs(珊瑚礁) in the world. Unfortunately, however, they are now in serious danger. More than one-third are in such bad shape that they could die within ten years. 1. Here are the three main causes discovered.

The first cause is pollution on land. The pollutants run with rainwater into rivers and streams, which carry the poisons into the ocean. 2. So they will be easily infected with diseases.

3. Higher ocean temperatures kill the important food source(來源) for the coral—the algae(海藻), the tiny greenish-gold water plants that live on coral. 4. This process has happened more and more frequently in recent years.

The last factor contributing to the disappearance of coral reefs is people. People sometimes crash into reefs with their boats, breaking off large blocks of coral. 5. Moreover, some people even break coral off to collect for souvenirs since it is so colorful and pretty.

A. Global warming is another reason.

B. Many might not even last that long!

C. Divers who walk on reefs can also do serious damage.

D. Reefs provide a home for 25% of the fish in the ocean.

E. Chemicals from the poisons kill reefs or make them weak.

F. Steps must be taken now to stop over-fishing and pollution of the oceans.

G. When the algae die, the coral loses its color and it also dies in the end

If you had a strange sound in your ear,what would you do? One man in Wales who thought he had a fly in his ear called 999,the emergency services number in Britain.And so did a woman who was worried about her green potatoes.Could she make chips with them?

The Head of Clinical Services at the Welsh Ambulance Service,Richard Lee,has a warning for prank callers.He says,“When people misuse the service it means our precious time is being taken away from someone who really does need our help.”Indeed,these hotlines are supposed to help the seriously ill or those with a life—threatening injury.You never know,one day,the person who needs assistance could be you or someone in your family.

科目:高中英語 來源:2016屆遼寧遼南協(xié)作體高三下期第二次模擬考試英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

Last year, the most-read children' s books at least in UK were almost all fantasy novels. But why is this the case? What. exactly does fantasy offer to young readers?

What' s important to point out here is that fantasy writing has come to be considered as belonging to popular culture, and is therefore generally regarded as being of lower quality than realism.

This idea was formed in me during childhood by my mother, who believed that fantasy was "rubbish". She was always trying to persuade my two brothers to let go of their dog-eared copies of American author David Eddings' books and read something "proper".

I had also met some people who were against reading fantasy. While living in Finland, where I joined a book club, I was told at my first meeting that the club didn't read "genre" books, which meant that realism was in", but everything else including fantasy was "

When it comes to the subject of children, discussions about which books are "better" for them often focus on the fantasy and realism debate, causing Professor John Stephens to write that: one of the more curious sides to the criticism of children's literature is the strong wish to separate fantasy and realism into competing types, and to state that children prefer one or the other, or "progress"from fantasy to realism or vice versa(反之亦然).

A quick survey of the big children's publishing trends over the past ten years confirms that fantasy is as popular as ever in the children' s book scene. From the 450 million copies of Harry Potter books sold over this period to the more recent Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, it would seem that children are as enthusiastic about fantasy as ever before and rather than "progressing" out of fantasy, the popularity of fantasy in the young adult market would suggest just the opposite.

1.What was the author's mother's attitude towards fantasy?

A. Uncaring. B. Cautious.

C. Unfavorable. D. Enthusiastic.

2.The book club the author joined in Finland _ .

A. didn't. have a realistic aim

B was always full of people in and out

C. had a tense atmosphere in most cases

D. was not acceptive of various literature styles

3.According to Professor John Stephens, the critics of children's literature~ .

A. want to separate children into different groups.

B. want to divide fantasy and realism into separate groups

C. aim to get children to progress from fantasy to realism

D. wish to explore the difference between fantasy and realism

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Fantasy books are and continue to be popular among children.

B, Realism books are the bestsellers of the present time.

C. Young readers are moving away from fantasy .

D. Fantasy books are better than realism ones.

科目:高中英語 來源:2016屆山東青島五十八中高三上期12月考英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

With around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9:00 am Monday morning lecture, it is no surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to the class and only 10 of them are still awake after the first 15 minutes; it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pajama’s(睡衣). Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule.

All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the “night owl” schedule of sleep.

This is opposed to the “early bird” schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight. Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as “night owls” and only 10 percent can be classified as “early birds” ------ the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls, this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.

1.What does the author stress in Paragraph 1 ?

A. Many students are absent from class.

B. Students are very tired on Monday mornings.

C. Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well.

D. Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays.

2.Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?

A . Most students prefer to get up late in the morning.

B. Students don’t sleep well because of alerting systems.

C .One’s body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle independently.

D. Adolescents’ delayed sleep/wake cycle isn’t the preferred pattern.

3.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “classified”?

A. Criticized B. Grouped

C. Organized D. Named

4.What does the text mainly talk about?

A. Functions of the body clock.

B. The “night owl” phenomenon.

C. Human beings’ sleep behaviour.

D. The school schedule of “early birds”.
