2019 年雅思考试阅读理解提分训练试题及答案（三篇）

To begin with,"muzak"( 音乐广播网)was intended simply

to create a soothing( 安慰)atmosphere.Recently,however,it's

become big business —thanks in part to recent

research.Dr.Ronald Milliman,an American marketing expert,has

shown that music can boost sales or increase factory

production by as much as a third.

But,it has to be light music.A fast one has no effect at

all on sales.Slow music can increase receipts by 38%.This is

probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity

to spot items they like to buy.Yet,slow music isn't always

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/299144929.html,liman found,for example,that in restaurants slow

music meant customers took longer to eat their meals,which

reduced overall sales.So restaurants owners might be well

advised to play up-tempo music to keep the customers moving —

unless of course,the resulting indigestion leads to

complaints!

that ______.

2017 年雅思考试阅读理解提分训练试题及答案 2

In the earliest stages of man's development he had no

more need of money than animals have.He was content with very

simple forms of shelter,made his own rough tools and weapons

and could provide food and clothing for himself and his

family from natural materials around him.As he became more

civilized,however,he began to want better shelter,more

efficient tools and weapons,and more comfortable and more

lasting clothing than could be provided by his own

neighborhood or by the work of his own unskilled hands.For

these things he had to turn to the skilled people such as

smiths,leather workers or carpenters.It was then that the

question of payment arose.

At first he got what he wanted by a simple process of

exchange.The smith who had not the time to look after land or

cattle was glad to take meat or grain from the farmer in

exchange for an axe or a plough.But as more and more goods

which had no fixed exchange value came on the market,exchange

became too complicated to be satisfactory.Another problem

arose when those who made things wanted to get stocks of wood

or leather,or iron,but had nothing to offer in exchange until

their finished goods were ready.

Thus the difficulties of exchange led by degrees to the invention of money.In some countries easily handled things

like seeds or shells were given a certain value and the farmer,instead of paying the smith for a new axe by giving

him some meat or grain,gave him so many shells.If the smith

had any shells left when he had bought his food,he could get stocks of the raw materials of his trade.In some countries

quite large things such as cows or camels or even big flat stones were used for https://www.sodocs.net/doc/299144929.html,ter,pieces of metal,bearing

values according to the rarity of the metal and the size of

the pieces,or coins were used.Money as we know it had arrived.

1.Exchange of goods became difficult because _________.

A man became more civilized

B smiths began to look after land or cattle in their

spare time

C more and more goods which had no fixed exchange values came to the marker

D farmers hadn't enough grain or meat to provide for skilled workers

2.Money was not used until _______.

A paper was invented

B people practiced a simple process of exchange

C nothing could be offered in exchange

D the exchange of one thing for another became too

complicated

3.The best title for this passage is _____.

A What is money

B What are money's functions.

C The importance of money

D The beginning of money

注释：

1.stage 阶段; 时期at an early stage in our history

Next Year Marks the EU's 50th Anniversary of the Treaty

A.After a period of introversion and stunned self-

disbelief,continental European governments will recover their

enthusiasm for pan-European institution-building in

2007.Whether the European public will welcome a return to

what voters in two countries had rejected so short a time

before is another matter.

B.There are several reasons for Europe's recovering

self-confidence.For years European economies had been lagging

dismally behind America(to say nothing of Asia),but in 2006

the large continental economies had one of their best years

for a decade,briefly outstripping America in terms of

growth.Since politics often reacts to economic change with a

lag,2006's improvement in economic growth will have its

impact in 2007,though the recovery may be ebbing by then.

C.The coming year also marks a particular point in a

political cycle so regular that it almost seems to amount to

a natural law.Every four or five years,European countries

take a large stride towards further integration by signing a

◆分类题 Passage 1 The Nature of Disputes To resolve a dispute means to turn opposing positions into a single outcome. The two parties may choose to focus their attention on one or more of three basic factors. They may seek to reconcile their interests, determine who is right, and/or determine who is more powerful. Section A Interests are needs, desires, concerns, and fears-the things one cares about or wants. They provide the foundation for a person’s or an organization’s position in a dispute. In a dispute, not only do the interests of one party not coincide with those of the other party, but they are in conflict. For example, the director of sales for an electronics company gets into a dispute with the director of manufacturing over the number of TV models to produce. The director of sales wants to produce more models because her interest is in selling TV sets; more models mean more choice for consumers and hence increased sales. The director of manufacturing, however, wants to produce fewer models. His interest is in decreasing manufacturing costs and more models mean higher costs. Section B Reconciling such interests is not easy. It involves probing for deeply rooted concerns, devising creative solutions, and making tradeoffs and compromises

雅思阅读真题

Climate and Country Wealth Why are some countries stupendously rich and others horrendously poor? Social theorists have been captivated by this question since the late 18th century, when Scottish economist Adam Smith argued in his magisterial work The Wealth of Nations that the best prescription for prosperity is a free-market economy in which the government allows businesses substantial freedom to pursue profits. Smith, however, made a second notable hypothesis: that the physical geography of a region can influence its economic performance. He contended that the economies of coastal regions, with their easy access to sea trade, usually outperform the economies of inland areas. Coastal regions and those near navigable waterways are indeed far richer and more densely settled than interior regions, just as Smith predicted. Moreover, an area's climate can also affect its economic development. Nations in tropical climate zones generally face higher rates of infectious disease and lower agricultural productivity (especially for staple foods) than do nations in temperate zones. Similar burdens apply to the desert zones. The very poorest regions in the world are those saddled with both handicaps: distance from sea trade and a tropical or desert ecology. The basic lessons of geography are worth repeating, because most economists have ignored them. In the past decade the vast majority of papers on economic development have neglected even the most obvious geographical realities. The best single indicator of prosperity is gross national product (GNP) per capita – the total value of a country's economic output, divided by its population. A map showing the world distribution of GNP per capita immediately reveals the vast gap between rich and poor nations. The great majority of the poorest countries lie in the geographical tropics. In contrast, most of the richest countries lie in the temperate zones. Among the 28 economies categorized as high income by the World Bank, only Hong Kong, Singapore and part of T aiwan are in the tropical zone, representing a mere 2 percent of the combined population of the high-income regions. Almost all the temperate-zone countries have either high-income economies (as in the cases of North America, western Europe, Korea and Japan) or middle-income economies (as in the cases of eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and China). In addition, there is a strong temperate-tropical divide within countries that straddle both types of climates. Most of Brazil, for example, lies within the tropical zone, but the richest part of the nation – the southernmost states –is in the temperate zone. There are two major ways in which a region’s climate affects economic development. First, it affects the prevalence of disease. Many kinds of infectious diseases are endemic to the tropical and subtropical zones. This tends to be true of diseases in which the pathogen spends part of its life cycle outside the human host: for instance, malaria (carried by mosquitoes) and helminthic infections (caused by parasitic worms). Although epidemics of malaria have occurred sporadically as far north as Boston in the past century, the disease has never gained a lasting foothold in the temperate zones, because the cold winters naturally control the mosquito-based

When Denis Hennequin took over as the European boss of McDonald’s in January 2004，the world’s biggest restaurant chain was showing signs of recovery in America and Australia，but sales in Europe were sluggish or declining.One exception was France，where Mr Hennequin had done a sterling job as head of the group’s French subsidiary to sell more Big Macs to his compatriots.His task was to replicate this success in all 41 of the European countries where anti- globalisers’favourite enemy operates.

Coral reefs form complex ecosystems with tremendous biodiversity. Among the myriad inhabitants, the fish stand out as particularly colorful and interesting to watch. Hundreds of species can exist in a small area of a healthy reef, many of them hidden or well camouflaged. Reef fish have developed many ingenious specializations adapted to survival on the reefs. Coral reefs occupy less than one percent of the surface area of the world oceans, but still they provide a home for 25 percent of all marine fish species. Reef habitats are a sharp contrast to the open 相关英文原文阅读water habitats that make up the other 99% of the world oceans. However, loss and degradation of coral reef habitat, increasing pollution, and overfishing including the use of destructive fishing practices, are threatening the survival of the coral reefs and the associated reef fish. As an example of the adaptations made by reef fish, the yellow tang is a herbivore which feeds on benthic turf algae. They also provide cleaner services to marine turtles, by removing algal growth from their shells. They do not tolerate other fish with the same color or shape. When alarmed, the usually placid yellow tang can erect spines in its tail and slash at its opponent with rapid sideways movements. 1-4: 1. NOT GIVEN 题型难度分析 2. TRUE 3. FALSE 4. TRUE
