高一英语阅读表达练习题

　　第一篇：

　　Happy Leap Day! Leap Day, you ask? Yes, it’s February 29. You may notice this date didn’t appear on the last year’s calendar, or the year before that, or…That’s because Leap Day happens every four years and 2014 is a leap year.A leap year has 366 days instead of the usual 365 days that an ordinary year has.An extra day is added to the calendar in a leap year, and here’s why:

　　The 365 days of the calendar are meant to match up with the solar year.A solar year is the time it takes the Earth to complete its orbit around the Sun, about one year. But the Earth’s yearly trip around the Sun takes a bit longer than 365 days. The orbit takes 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds, to be exact. That time equals roughly one quarter of a day, so the calendar and the solar year don’t match accurately. After a few years, that extra time in the solar year begins to accumulate. After four years, for example, the four extra quarter days will make the calendar fall behind the solar year by about a day.

　　According to the Honor Society of Leap Year Day Babies — a club for people born on Leap Day — there are an estimated 4 million people whose birthdays come but every four years.But who wants to wait four years to celebrate his/her birthday? Most celebrate yearly on February 28 or March 1.

　　There was a time when strict rules prevented women from proposing marriage to their beloved.In most cultures, that’s not the case anymore.In fact, female pioneers who thought this rule was clearly unfair managed to get Leap Year established as an acceptable time for women to　　　　　to unmarried men.So on February 29, a man could be surprised at an offer he couldn’t refuse.The first documentation of this day of ladies’ choice was in 1288 in Scotland.Officials then decided to pass a law that allowed women to propose marriage to men of their choice in that year.They also made it a law that any man who said no to a proposal in a leap day had to pay a fine.The fine could range from a kiss to payment for a silk dress or a pair of gloves.

　　第二篇：

　　[1]Adults are often astonished by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

　　[2]One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.

　　[3]In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.

　　[4]The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.

　　[5]The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may _______ a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.
