高考英语阅读理解基础练习题（29） 阅读理解 When did you last visit a shopping mall? In many places, the answer would be"last weekend．" Some people go even more often．Why? Malls offer goods andservices all in one place: food, clothing, things for their houses, entertainment, evenmedical services．So, are they one of the highlights of modern civilization?Environmental activists would say no and would go even further, arguing thatconsumer behavior is causing a huge environmental disaster．They cause consumers' ignorance of the side effect of their shopping—urban sprawl （扩大）． Social scientists agree that patterns of development have changed the landscape alot．Before 1950, most people lived in towns or cities and either walked to work ortook public transportation．Only very wealthy people had automobiles．Farmers livedin rural areas or far-away villages and came into town only when they needed thingsthey couldn't produce themselves．If you stared at the landscape you would see townssurrounded by the countryside． Now automobiles become affordable and people are quick to make use of them．Ambitious workers could live in suburbs, just outside cities, which have started togrow rapidly．As long as there is lots of cheap land there, no one pays much attentionto the usage of that land．Malls, fast food restaurants, cinemas, and such spread out inlarge, flat buildings．These one-storey buildings and their parking lot take up too muchspace．Many farmers think they are better off selling their land than growing crops．Noone has realized once the land is built up in urban sprawl, the good farming land willbe ruined forever．There is no way to preserve （保护） it．Only in recent years have people come to miss the old way of life as they havelooked into the problems of unconditional growth．Now people realize that urbansprawl has come with serious environmental problems．The bad effects that sprawlbrings about include air and water pollution, loss of agricultural land, traffic jams, andso on．Many scholars think it's time to analyze the problems better so we can developproper policies to control further sprawl．Some think the best way to do is to educatecitizens．

Riffat” Monaf, an interesting name and an even more interesting person. Her introduction took place about six years ago, and since then I have never met a more influential person in my life. Mrs Monaf not only conquered me with her vast knowledge of geography, but also won me over with her smile and warm eyes. It was in her class that I traveled to the highest mountains and to the deepest seas from the comfort of the classroom. I learned about the vast oceans, the erupting volcanoes, the snow-capped mountains and the green valleys. She would often relate her adventures about traveling to different parts of the world. Never can I forget the glory of her face when she talks about how truly beautiful this world is. If I search back my love for the environment and geography, I find her to be the source of my love for preserving nature. If one day I became an environmentalist, I know that I'll thank her for it. Apart from this, she has always greeted me with open arms and she calls her students “ my children ”Mrs. Monaf's morals and values rubbed off me deeply and I have always taken her advice into consideration. She has been one of the most consistently good things in my life. Currently, she is fighting a battle against breast cancer, and it pains me to know that after all she has done for me; I can do nothing for her except pray.

发育生物学8—17章课后习题答案

第八章神经系统发育 1、神经胚形成 答：神经胚形成：胚胎由原肠胚预定外胚层细胞形成神经管的过程。神经胚：正在进行神经管形成的胚胎。 2、初级神经胚形成和次级神经胚形成 答：初级神经胚形成：由脊索中胚层诱导上面覆盖的外胚层细胞分裂，内陷并与表皮质脱离形成中空的神经管。 次级神经胚形成：外胚层细胞下陷进入胚胎形成实心细胞索，接着在细胞索中心产生空洞形成中空的神经管。 3、什么叫神经板，神经褶，神经沟 答：神经板：外胚层中线处细胞形状发生改变，细胞纵向变长加厚，形成神经板。 神经褶：神经板形成后不久，边缘加厚，并向上翘起形成神经褶。 神经沟：神经褶形成后在神经板中央出现的U型沟。 4、无脑畸形和脊髓裂与哪些基因有关，如何避免 答：无脑畸形和脊髓裂均为人类胚胎的神经管闭合缺陷症。人的后端神经管区域在27天时如不能合拢，则产生脊髓裂；若前端神经管区域不能合成，则胚儿前脑发育被停止，产生致死的无脑畸形。 它们与pax3、sonic hedghog和openbrain等基因有关。 约50%神经管缺陷可由孕妇补充叶酸加以避免。 5、斑马鱼的神经管如何形成 答：斑马鱼的神经管如何形成：鸟类，哺乳类，两栖类动物胚胎的后端神经管及鱼类的全部神经管形成均采用次级神经胚形成的方式，所以斑马鱼的神经管形成也如此。 6、三个原始脑泡的发育命运 答：前脑发育成为前端的端脑和后面的间脑，端脑最终形成大脑两半球，间脑形成丘脑和下丘脑区域及视觉感受区。中脑腔最终形成大脑导水管。菱脑再发育成前面的后脑和后面的髓脑，后脑形成小脑，髓脑形成延髓。 7、菱脑节

答：菱脑节：在神经管闭合后，后脑前后轴逐渐被划分为8节，成为菱脑节，每个菱脑节是一个发育单位，节内细胞可交换而节间不能交换（其是临时性结构，到发育后期逐渐消失，但部分由后脑产生的结构如颜面神经节仍保持分节性结构）。 8、脊髓背腹区域细胞的发育命运各与哪些因子有关 答：脊髓背部区域依次产生6种中间神经元（dI1-dI6）,腹部则形成运动神经元和4种腹侧神经元（V0-V3）。 BMP和Shh信号在脊髓的背腹轴划分过程中起着重要作用：BMP活性沿脊髓背-腹轴形成一个浓度梯度，Shh活性沿脊髓腹-背轴形成一个浓度梯度，与BMP相反。同时，Hedgehog和Wnt 信号分别在腹部和背部细胞分化起作用。另外，许多转录因子在脊髓不同背腹轴位置表达，将其分为不同区域，它们受BMP和Hedgehog信号控制。 9、原神经基因的功能 答：a.抑制其周围细胞向神经元的分化 b.促进细胞向神经元方向分化而抑制其分化为神经胶质细胞 c.调节细胞周期 10、中枢神经系统的分层 答：中枢神经系统的分层：在不同时间点的神经元的最终停留位置不同。最靠近管腔的一层为室管膜层，其内的细胞维持了分裂能力；由于停止有丝分裂的细胞不断向外迁移,形成另外两层,外套层和边缘层.外套层：来自管膜层的细胞分化为神经元和神经胶质细胞；边缘层主要为神经轴索和胶质细胞. 11、室管膜区细胞的分裂方式与特点 答：室管膜层区细胞的分裂方式与特点：垂直分裂（verticol dision）:分裂面与表皮细胞长轴平行，产生2个有继续分裂能力的子细胞；水平分（horizontal division）:分裂面与表皮长轴垂直，只产生一个有继续分裂能力的子细胞。原因：notch和numb层的不均匀分布。 12、神经轴突生长的引导机制 答：轴突生长的引导机制：神经轴突的生长首先决定于其自身表达的基因产物；神经轴突的生长也决定于其所处的环境，某些因素具有吸引作用，而有些具有排斥作用。 这些环境因素包括：其伸展途径中的组织结构，胞外基质成分，相领细胞的表面特性。长距离引导：利用可扩散的分子对神经有吸引或是排斥的作用来导引神经细胞去的位置，有化学性引导和化学性排斥两种。化学性排斥：体节生骨区中的netrin 对motor neuron的生长起排斥作用。化学性引导：神经管中的netrin分层只对中间神经神经元轴突的生长具有吸引作用。

（英语）高二英语阅读理解专题训练答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Flying for a long time, you finally arrive at the place where you can relax—your hotel room. Now you throwyour bag on the bed, turn on the TV and watch an international news programme on a satellite channel probably from UK or the USA. The main international broadcasters are BBC World and CNN. With an audience of over 1.5 billion people, these are popular channels that offer good-quality news programmes. In both companies, the journalists are experienced writers that produce journalism of a high standard. However, there are alternative news channels which people watch because they want a less traditional or non-Western view on world events. Russia Today and Al Jazeera International, an Arabic company, are international channels that broadcast in English. Both companies say they give a fresh view on big stories, and their experienced journalists often report from places where Western journalists do not work, and so they give us stories that we don't normally see. The Internet offers more variety. OneWorldTV is an Internet site where you can find stories about the developing world and human rights, rather than the usual stories about US politics and business. The writers for this company are often local people who write the stories for free. This non-professional journalism is increasing, and it certainly offers more choices. This increase in citizen journalism means that you can write the news, too. Main news broadcasters often use photographs and stories that members of the general public send to them, especially when there is a dramatic breaking news story. Besides this, some blogs are popular sources of news, and the website NowPublic lets you write stories using information you can get from anywhere, including sites like Youtube, Flickr and Twitter. （1）The first paragraph is meant to . A. offer a suggestion B. give a warning C. explain a reason D. introduce the topic （2）It can be learned from the text that more and more people will . A. prefer to read local news B. pay more attention to world news C. start a career in citizen journalism D. give up watching TV news programmes （3）What would be the best title for the text? A. The Latest Local News B. More Choices for News C. The End of TV News D. Traditional World News 【答案】（1）D （2）C （3）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了市民可以观看的新闻媒体。有些新闻来自国家（正式新闻）;有些新闻来自民间，这种民间的非正式媒体新闻正呈上升趋势；市民还可以在网上发布一些新闻。 （1）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“ watch an international news program on a satellite channel probably from UK or the USA.”和第二段中的“The main international broadcasters are BBC World and CNN”可以推断出第一段是引子，是为了引出下文的话题（介绍BBC World和

This year, however, California garlic sales are rising because American government increases tariffs （关税） on Chinese products. Christopher, a garlic grower in California, is manager of his company and he said, "In a perfect world, we would love to see the tariffs on China." Tariffs on Chinese garlic rose from 10% to 25% on May 9, 2019, and the reason is that U.S President Donald Trump increased tariffs on Chinese products worth of $200 billion.

American hegemony D. a sign （4）How much tariff did American government increase on Chinese garlic On May 9, 2019?

(新)高中英语阅读理解及答案详解

高中英语阅读理解及答案详解 4 A A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better. A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises (出现) from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered. There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, twoheaded dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar (奇怪的) that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girlfriend. No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was. 1．The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is ________. A．repeated without any change B．treated as a joke C．made some changes by the parent D．set in the present 解析：细节理解题。根据It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better. 可推知此题答案为C。 答案：C 2．According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is ________. A．in a realistic setting
