24 working as fast as she could, she seemed to be 25 further and further behind.

At last she called our 26 ,and I asked for three quarts〔品脱〕of chocolate ice-cream. “There quarts!〞 she said. “Do you know how 27 it is to scoop〔舀〕three quarts?〞

There was a drugstore in the town of Mufulira which was widely known for its racial discrimination. While Europeans were served at the counter, a long line of Africans queued at the window and often not only were kept waiting but were treated rudely by the shop assistants. One day I was determined to make a public protest against this kind of thing, and many of the schoolboys in my class followed me to the store. I simply went into the shop and asked the manager politely for some medicine. As soon as he saw me standing in the place where only European customers were allowed to stand he shouted at me in a bastard language which is only used by a boss when speaking to his servants. I stood at the counter and politely requested in proper English that I should be served. The manager became angry and said,“Even if you stand there till Christmas, I will never serve you.〞

I went to the District Commissioner’s office. Fortunately, he was out, for he was one of the old school; however, I saw a young District officer who was a friend of mine.

This he did, and I well remember him saying to the manager,“Here is Mr. Kaunda who is a responsible member of the Urban Advisory Council, and you treat him like a common servant.〞The manager of the drugstore apologized and said，“If only he had introduced himself and explained who he was, then, of course I should have given him proper service.〞

I had to explain once again that he had missed my point. I just want to prove that any man of any color, whatever his position, should have the right to go into any shop and buy what he wanted.

Sleep Struggle

Dr . Marjorie Seidentfeld answers your health questions

I have such a terrible time falling asleep every night that I’m always tired and it’s affecting my schoolwork . What should I do?

—Mindy in Nevada

One in every five young people has a sleep proble m, so you’re not alone . Getting enough sleep has become as important as eating vegetables and exercising regularly. It’s very important for your body. Most young people only get seven hours of sleep each night, when they actually need nine hours. And making up for lost sleep during the week by sleep ing on weekends doesn’t really work. In fact, sleeping late on weekends may actually do you more harm than good, if you have sleep problems. What happens i f you don’t get enough sleep ? If your sleep problem continues for a few nights, you could suffer serious problems. Lack of sleep can affect learning and memory. Worse , if your sleep difficulties last a long time , that could lead to anxiety or depression (抑郁).

Therefore, you’ve got to have some healthy sleep habits . Below are some suggestions:

●G o to bed at the same time—including weekends , if possible .

●Wake up around the same time every morning When you sleep late just one morning during the week , it may disturb your body clock . This will make it hard for you to sleep that night.

●Do something relaxing before going to bed .

●Exercise during the day. Don’t exercise right before going to bed.

●Avoid drinking alcohol . Alcohol makes you excited. This prevents you from

falling asleep or wakes you up during the night .

●Don’t smoke. Smoking is always bad for the body. Smoking before bedtime keeps

you awake.

If trying these tips over a couple of weeks does not help you, speak to your doctor. Do not take any sleeping pills without first asking your doctor. Many have strong side effects.

53. According to the passage , if you have sleep problems for a few nights , you could

be .

A．lonely B．serious C．forgetful D．happy

54. The passage suggests that people with sleep problems should .

A．eat vegetables and exercise regularly B．make up for lost sleep on weekends

C．follow a fixed timetable for sleep D. sleep seven hours every day

55．We can learn from the suggestions that .

A．getting up earlier one morning makes it easier to fall asleep that night

B．listening to soft music before going to bed may help you fall asleep

C．smokers and those who drink alcohol usually help you fall asleep

D．exercising in the evening will help you get to sleep

56．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．Sleep problems are serious among young people.

B．Sleeping late on weekends can make up for lost sleep.

C．Your eating habits will be broken due to lack of sleep.

D．You’ll no longer have your sleep problem if you try the tips.

2019高考英语配套练习(32)中华传统文化增分练_阅读理解1 (2)

精编优选练(三十二)中华传统文化语篇专题——阅读理解1 (限时：30分钟) A There are mainly four great traditional cuisines that are viewed as representatives of Chinese culinary (烹饪的) skills. Shandong It is all about local, fresh ingredients and the stars are the seafood, including scallops, prawns, clams, sea cucumbers, and squid. Other commonly used ingredients include maize, peanuts, millet, wheat, oat, and a distinct type of vinegar. Quick-fried, stir-fried, stewed and braised items are among the more than thirty cooking techniques of Shandong cuisine. Guangdong Authentic Cantonese cuisine is among the most adventurous in China in terms of variety of ingredients as the Cantonese are famous, even among the Chinese, for their extremely wide definition of what is considered edible (可食用的). Sauces, like hoisin, oyster sauce, sweet and sour sauce are predominant in Cantonese cuisine which produces light, sweet, tender and crisp dishes. Sichuan Saying Sichuan cuisine is hot and spicy is an understatement. Mouth-numbing (麻嘴的) and sw eat-inducing, one can easily become addicted to the Sichuan peppercorns and dry peppers. Also sweat-inducing but in a different way is the Sichuan (as well as Chongqing) hotpot—perfect for the winter yet beloved by locals in the summer. The uniqueness of its cuisine also resides in its two cooking methods, the dry-braising (焖) and the dry-stewing. Huaiyang Considered a sub-regional style of the Jiangsu region, which also claims Shanghai and Hangzhou cuisine as descendants, Huaiyang cuisine is renowned for the delicateness of the dishes as well as the liberal use of sugar.

2016年湖北武汉市高考英语阅读理解二轮基础训练(32)(含答案)

2016年湖北武汉市高考英语阅读理解二轮基础训练（32）（含答案） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。 In parts of Africa, the sky is filled with a dark cloud. But this is no rain cloud. It is a living cloud made of billions of locusts that are traveling across the continent eating everything in their path. And in the battle to stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts. The radio station is in one of Senegal’s worst affected regions. This is West Africa’s biggest locust disaster in 15 years, and it is moving east, causing huge damage to crops. As they move, they breed, and increase their number and will soon threaten Sudan in the northeast of Africa. Some say it could reach Asia. Experts say the great damage to crops in areas already suffering from food shortages and war could cause many people to go hungry. Governments in the region are not well equipped to fight the pest. Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough. “We are now treating 6,000 hectares per day with pesticide, but we need to treat 20,000 hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster,” said Mohamed Abdallahi Ould Babah, director of locust control in Mauritania. Requests are being made for international aid, which is the only way to limit the crisis, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization warned. 1. The purpose of offering people rice for catching locusts in Senegal is ________. A. to get more people to eat rice so as to leave less for locusts B. to get more people involved in the war on the locusts C. to prevent more people from starvation D. to get more people to listen to the radio report on locusts 2. Which of the following is not the reason for West Africans going hungry? A. Locust disaster causes the great damage to crops. B. Food supply is far from the need of the people. C. These regions are affected by the war. D. Governments are unwilling to fight the pest. 3. It can be concluded that, in order to end the locust disaster, ________.

2019高考英语星级阶梯阅读练习 二星级(32)

2019高考英语星级阶梯阅读练习二星级（32） A Little Mark is only 6, but he has an IQ of 200, a genius among geniuses. But his intelligence comes at a cost. His parents must keep him intellectually simulated 〔启发〕while making sure he is like any other little boy. Mark has been attracted by the way how the world works since he was a baby. When he was 3, Mark was reading fluently, mostly self-taught. His parents haven't been able to keep him away from books since. "I tried many times to stop him reading. We worry about his crazy fond of reading because he constantly wants to read every-thing whatever it is.” A psychologist at the Centre for gifted children tested Mark and gave him an IQ of 200. The average child of Mark's age has an IQ of 100. At 200, Mark is a genius-even compared with other child geniuses. "With children like Mark you can tell that's a bright child as soon as they walk in. They just have this sort of intensity, and maybe they're not so good at communicating with people," the psychologist said. "He will never fit perfectly into a class where he's with children of his age.”But Mark's mother worries about the "socially isolated" labels. "Nobody wants their child to grow up with that image. I want him to communicate with others freely, but not to be frustrated academically, so it's really hard to find a balance," she says. Helen Dudeney from the Talented and Gifted Children Association says Mark is one in a million with such a high IQ. She points out that geniuses are still rare and difficult for the public education system to handle. "The lack of coping comes because teachers aren't trained in teaching gifted children," says Dudeney. Helen believes it's also extremely important for them to be recognized and supported in their talents. Mark's parents are trying to figure out how best to help Mark. At the moment, there are few options. Mark finds first year work boring and simple, but he must learn to complete the work. His mother says, "We just want to be happy. Just to have a happy childhood and want to go to school every day.” 1、By saying "But his intelligence comes at a cost. ",the author means that A. Mark must pay for his intelligence at a high price B. Mark's intelligence brings him negative effects at the same time C. Mark's intelligence results from his parents D. Mark's parents make Mark clever at all costs 2、Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Mark's parents are very satisfied with his love for reading. B. Mark began to teach himself reading at the age of 3. C. Many child geniuses are not good at communicating with others. D. It is hard for parents to bring up a genius. 3、If there are 6. 6 billion people in the world, the number of geniuses with an IQ of 200 will be ________、 A. about 4,400 B. about 5,500 C. about 6,600 D. about 7,700

高三英语晚自习限时训练 一、阅读理解 A Icehouse and ice ticket As early as Pre-Qin Dynasty, people used natural ice to keep food fresh and make cold drinks. The Zhou royal court had a specialized department called “ice administration”. They collected natural ice blocks each December to store in the icehouse. During th e Qing Dynasty, “ice tickets” were used and they were available only to officials and the rich. Ice container The most commonly used cooling tool is called “Jian”, which is a big container filled with ice. It was made of clay in early Chinese history, and was later made of copper (铜). The “Jian” can be seen as an ancient refrigerator, which can be used to make cold drinks. Hiding food in the well During the Qin and Han dynasties, for common people, the most common way to cool off is by using their wells. Some families put a pot in the well as a cold closet, or put food in a basket and lowered the basket into the well with a rope. Herbal drinks During the Qing Dynasty, taking Chinese herbal medicine was popular in Beijing. In hot summer, some people preferred to drink ice water, some boiled perilla leaves, and liquorice as summer soup to keep off the heat. Ancient people also loved to make lotus seed soup in summer for the benefit of strengthening the body. 1. What does “Jian” have the same function as? A．Container. B．Refrigerator. C．Clay. D．Copper. 2.

高考英语二轮复习 专题限时训练(三十二) 文化教育型阅读理解(配套作业二)(解析版,新课标)

(限时：25分钟) (一) “Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits(品质)in the Americans. They show confidence in the way they talk, the way they smile, the way they dress and the way they walk. Living and competing with all these confident American students, I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and instructor. As a student, being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind. Don't mind if it sounds simple or silly. Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all. What's worse, the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive. Being confident for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it. Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace. But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their Speeches(The course I'm teaching here is public speaking). Modesty is a trait highly valued in China, but it won't be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program. 1. To compete with American students it's very important to ________. A. be quite confident B．be polite and friendly C．have more discussions with them D．understand what they think about 2. A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who ________. A. gives a silly or simple answer B．tries to seize any chance to speak in class C．shows no interest in the course D．is considered to have no opinion of his own 3. The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if ________. A. he asks a student to repeat what he has said B．the students bargain with him C．he pretends to know what he doesn't D．he has to give a speech 4．We learn from the second paragraph that ________. A. we should also remain modest in America B．modesty doesn't help in America C．the Americans also like modest people D．modesty can help you through an American graduate program 5. The passage is mainly developed by ________. A. providing examples B．making comparisons C．giving different figures D．telling personal experiences

高三英语高效限时训练

高三英语高效限时训练 姓名:___________班级:___________ 一、阅读理解 A Beavers(海狸), like humans, change their surroundings to fit their needs. Known as nature’s engineers, they tear trees down to build homes to live in and dams to raise water levels for protection from enemies. Dams also slow water’s flow while blocking sediment(沉积物)that would otherwise flow downstream. The resulting wetlands often attract wildlife diversity where none had existed. There are challenges, though. Beaver dams sometimes cause flooding, and most people prefer trees alive and upright. Communities face a delicate balancing act, learning to coexist with beavers. Last winter, many people enjoying Winston Path became beaver fans as one furry family transformed Swallow Pond into an oasis for birds, frogs, turtles and deer. Yet such activity caused concern. As beavers worked, they raised water levels about five feet. The increased depth allows beavers to survive underwater if the pond ices over. But county officials were concerned about how higher water would affect the soil bank supporting Winston Path. To find a good balance between protecting the path and the beavers, the county introduced a“ beaver baffle”— a pond leveler.Beavers often rush to fill holes in their dams.Baffles stabilize water levels by creating a hidden exit for high water to escape through the dam, unnoticed by the beavers. People love the beavers but they also love the mature trees. Recently, Catherine Jones,18, organized a tree-caging event — putting wire cloth around large tree trunks to discourage beavers from biting them. It also protects people from injury due to random trees falling.“We cover the trees we don’t want them to eat, while planting periodically oth ers they like,“said Jones.“We need-to learn to give up a little of our wants to share the Earth’s resources.” Swallow Pond’s 2023 project will restore proper water depth and improve wildlife habitat without creating problems for the path. The balancing act continues.； 1. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A．Where beavers’ favorite surroundings are. B．What effects beavers have on their habitat. C．Why beavers are called nature’s engineers. D．How beavers help attract wildlife diversity.； 2. Why did the beaver family’s activity cause concern? A．Swallow Pond would flood often. B．Sediment would flow downstream. C．The popular path might be damaged.
