1、本资料来源于大家网高考英语论坛2009年高考英语阅读理解训练50篇（1）1Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time
2、to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell.But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a
3、 persons health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hor- mones (荷尔蒙).They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etCIn general the person feels excited and ready to act.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressi
4、ng anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say t
5、he first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and
6、reasonably.”Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.1 “Damaging emotion” means that _. Athe emotion is harmless Bthe emotion is harmful Cthe feeling is very strong Dthe feeling is h
7、ard2 What statement is right? AWere you angry, you would be cancered (得癌症).

8、harmful than Cis no better than Dis much better than 4According to the author, youd better _. Anever be angry Bcool it down before you express it Claugh and laugh when you get angry Dadmit you are wrong when you are angry二There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested
9、in spelling. No school I have ever taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is how to enc
10、ourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities (复杂性) of spelling. If spelling becomes the only focal (焦点的) point of his teachers interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will tend to write only words within
11、 his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. Thats why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is
12、 terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is terrible.” It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupils technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted(省略) to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the c
13、hild s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation (动机) to seek improvement.1Teachers are different in their opi
14、nions about _.Ahe difficulties in teaching spellingBthe role of spelling in general language developmentCthe complexities of the basic writing skillsDthe necessity of teaching spelling2The underlined expression “play safe” probably means _.

Astudents will be able to express their ideas more freely Bstudents will have more confidence in writing Cstudents will have less trouble in correcting mistakes Dstudents will learn to be
16、 independent of teachers4 The author seems to think that the teachers judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is _.Aunfair Breasonable Cfoolish Dcareless三Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance
17、is often culturally programmed. In other words, we learn our looks- we are not born with them.A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around- family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some are
18、as of the US looks much alike.New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that can not be explained by genetics (遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many,
19、 this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us.This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas. In the US, for example, the south is the
20、 part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York States still less. Many southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people in Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in
21、 Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.1Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance _.Ahas little to do with culture Bhas much to do much culture Cis ever changing Dis different from place to place2Acco
22、rding to the passage, the final mouth shape is formed _. Abefore birth Bas soon as ones teeth are newly set Csome time after new teeth are set Daround 15 years old3Ray Birdwhistell can tell what area of the US a person is from by _. Ahow much he or she smiles Bhow he or she raise his or her eyebrows
23、 Cwhat he or she likes best Dthe way he or she talks4People who live _ are more friendly.

27、onal organization Da housing agency 五CaliforniaUpset by the war in Iraq, Julia Wilson expressed her anger and impatience with President Bush last spring on her web page on MyS . She posted a picture of the president, wrote “Kill Bush ” across the top and drew a sword stabbing his outstretched hand.
28、She later replaced her page after learning in her eighth-grade history class that such threats are a federal offense.It was too late, Federal authorities had found the page and placed Wilson on their checklist. They finally reached her this week in her biology class. The 14yearold was taken out of c
29、lass Wednesday and questioned for about 15 minutes by two Secret Service agents. The incident has upset her parents, who said the agents should have included them when questioning their daughter.The teenager said the agents questioning led her to tears. “I wasnt dangerous,” said Wilson, an honor stu
30、dent who describes herself as politically enthusiastic. “Im a peace-loving person. Im against the war in Iraq. Im not going to kill the president.”Her mother, Kirstie Wilson, said two agents showed up at the familys home Wednesday afternoon, questioned her and promised to return once her daughter wa
31、s home from school.After they left, Kirstie Wilson sent a next message to her daughters call phone, asking her to come straight home and telling her that two men from the secret service wanted to talk with her.But moments later, Kirstie Wilson received a text message from her daughter saying agents
32、had pulled her out of class.Julia Wilson said the agents threatened her, saying she could be sent to court for making the threat. “They yelled at me a lot,” she said. “They were unnecessarily mean.”Wilson and her parents said the agents were justified in questioning her over her MyS posting. But the
33、y said the agents went too far by not waiting until she was out of school and the agents should have more quickly figured out they werent dealing with a real danger.Assistant Principal Paul Robinon said the agents gave him the impression the girls mother knew they were planning to question her daugh
34、ter at school. There is no legal requirement that parents be notified.“This has been an on-going problem.” said Ann Brick, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union in San Francisco.Former governors Pete Wilson and Gray Davis vetoed(否决) bills that would have required that parents give permiss
35、ion or be present when their children are questioned at school by law enforcement officers. 1Julia Wilson was questioned because .

39、cats need a lawyer for?”The move meant giving up eight weeks vacation, an office with a view of the San Francisco Bay and a big house among the redwoods, and moving to a rural area know for its harsh winters. But Winograds wife, Jennifer, also an animal lover, was all for it. So they packed everythi
40、ng they owned, and with two young children, plus two dogs, and a bunch of cats Winograd had rescued, drove crosscountry.On the second day, they had no room for six more puppies they received. They found an old horse trough, filled it with hay and nestled the animals inside. They placed it next to th
41、e front desk, and within a day or two, all six had homes, adopted by people who walked into the shelter and couldnt resist.Blind dogs, cats with missing limbsall find homes. “There is no dog or cat too old, toougly or too undesirable not to be adopted by someone,” says Winograd. Today, Tompkins Coun
42、ty is considered the only no-kill county in the United States. Nine out of ten dogs cats that come through the shelter doors are saved. Only animals with incurable injuries or illnesses, and the truly evil, are put down. The national average is half of all dogs and 70 percent of cats, totaling more
43、than four million animals last year alone.Even though he drives an old car that leaks when it rains, and his family lives on a tight budget while his classmates from Stanford Law earn six-figure salaries, Winograd says hes doing what hed always wanted to do when he grew up; run an animal shelter and
44、 save all the animals.As a young district lawyer, he kept his goal in mind, starting when he raised his first animal cruelty case. A man was accused of intentionally setting his brown cat on fire. Winograd made his case, and the abusive owner was sentenced to prison.It was the first of many such cas
45、es, and he raised each with vigor. But the senseless violence, neglect and ignorance never failed to shock him. He decided simply, “I need to get to the other side and start saving these animals.”Now, Winograd is helping to save thousands, even millions, “Im convinced that a no kill nation is possib
46、le, Im just here trying to shorten the time until it arrives.”1What was his fathers response when Nathan Winograd left his job as a lawyer in California?AHe was all for it.BHe was strongly against it.CHe was greatly puzzled.DHe was very angry.2How did Winograd successfully save so many animals?AHe kept all the rejected animals in a large shelter.B
