高中生必做的英语阅读资料

　　高中生的英语阅读练习资料：technological

　　Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient (便利的) way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two—thirds of the world’s population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.

　　In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive (=continue to live). Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man’s needs.

　　The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations (探险) have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined (开采).

　　Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish (贝类动物) is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people.

　　Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents (水流) and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.

　　Technology is enabling man to explore (勘探) ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.

　　The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2000 the problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.

　　1. The major things that the sea offers man are ______.

　　高中生的英语阅读练习资料：possession

　　―The sea is the common possession of all nations. It belongs equally to all. No one can take it entirely to themselves; nor is it‘foreign’to any one.‖

　　This was the decision of John Marshall, chief Justice of the United States from 1801 to 1835. It was made known as a basic rule of the sea that no one, and therefore everyone, owns the ocean. This means that outside territorial waters (the waters within three miles of a country‘s coast),the law is whatever nations agree on in peacetime and whatever the strongest navy powers can enforce in wartime.

　　After the United States bought Alaska, Americans began to seize Canadians who were hunting seals outside Alaskan territorial waters. The Americans said that the seals were American possession because they often came into the Alaskan shores owned by the United States. International judges disagreed with this reasoning. In some cases, however, the special rights of a nation that makes good use of an open-sea area are recognized.

　　All of the sea‘s rules are set up by international conferences and agreements. 1.The idea that the sea‖ belongs equally to all‖ was put out by______.

　　A. an unwritten agreement

　　B. a U.S. Supreme Court decision

　　C. an international conference

　　D. a written agreement

　　2.The basic rule of the sea means that______.

　　A. any powerful nation may control the sea

　　B. any area of the sea belongs to the nation closest to it

　　C. no one has whole rights to the open sea

　　D. no nation has any sea rights

　　3.International judges decided that______.

　　A. Canada had no sealing rights off Alaska

　　B. the Canadians could hunt the seals

　　C. the United States could own the seals

　　D. the Americans could not hunt the seals

　　4.Nations may obtain special rights on open waters by______.

　　A. overrunning those waters B. guarding the waters

　　C. using the waters regularly

　　D. spreading out their territorial waters

　　5.The main idea of this passage is that______.

　　A. the rule of the sea was made known by John Marshall

　　B. some nations are able to acquire special open-sea rights.

　　C. every nation owns its territorial waters

　　D. the laws of the sea should be set up by international agreements

　　高中生的英语阅读练习资料：lightning

　　In earliest times, men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries (神秘的'事物) of nature. Some ancient peoples believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons (武器) of the gods.

　　In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs (灯泡).

　　The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first lightning rod (避雷针). This device (装置物) protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.

　　Modern science has discovered that one stroke (闪击) of lightning has a voltage (电压) of more than 15 million volts (伏特). A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.

　　Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average (平均数) of one person every day.

　　The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under tress. Also, one should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.

　　With lightning, it is better to be safe than sorry?

　　1. People once thought lightning came from ________.

　　A. the sky B. the gods C. the earth D. nature

　　2. According to the passage what do you think all buildings need?

　　A. Metal fences. B. Electricity. C. lightning rods. D. Machines.

　　3. Lightning can travel ________.

　　A. as quickly as water B. not so quickly as electricity

　　C. at very low speed D. at very high speed

　　4. Which of the following is NOT true?

　　A. In the U.S about one person per day dies from lightning.

　　B. The Empire State Building frequently gets hit by lightning.

　　C. Swimming during a thunder storm is a good idea.
