For one tired out from work, autumn is one of the best times to step into the open air to kick back and enjoy some great music. And that’s what many Beijingers have done this past weekend.

Family, friends, laughter; beautiful grass, fresh air and live music echoing (回响) off the forest and the Great Wall that surround this place. A weekend in this music paradise（乐园） just seems too short. Besides, a brand new world-class outdoor theater has just been open at this year’s festival, which will surely make the festival a better and more permanent experience.

A full house is before the new outdoor amphitheater (圆形剧场). Even the thunderstorm couldn’t break up the crowd completely absorbed in the music. Thanks to the new theater, this year’s Great Wall Forest Festival offers even more superb acoustics（音效的）and an overall outdoor theatrical experience, even though the project is still half complete.

The festival is now in its fourth year. Since its first show in 2010, the festival has seen a steady increase in festival-goers and has expanded its length from two days to four days, divided over two weekends. It has also been experimenting with a variety of styles, from classical to pop, with this year’s theme “Celebrating 20 Years of Chinese Folk Song.” Folk Song legend Lao Lang explains how folk songs have helped encourage more amateur folks to express themselves through music.

“Before music was reserved for the professionals. But folk songs made young people realize that they can express themselves through music as well. And that’s what characterizes folk songs. It’s popular music and it always has a story.” said Lao Lang.

Unlike some of the other outdoor festivals, the Great Wall Forest Festival appeals to a wide range of audiences. It’s a rare place where teens, parents and families can all enjoy the outdoors and have a great time.

Great music and scenery aside, many children’s workshops, master music classes, and interactive art activities have also been introduced this year. If music is the reason to come to the festivals, you’ll find even more reasons not to leave.

1.What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “kick back” in Paragraph 1?

A. to hit with legs.　　 B. to work harder

C. to relax oneself　　 D. to make people leave

2.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. The place where the Festival is held is near the Great Wall.

B. The completed project adds to the attraction of this year’s Festival.

C. The audience attending the festival bury themselves in the music.

D. The year 2010 saw the beginning of the Great Wall Forest Festival.

3.The 2014 Great Wall Forest Festival has got improved in the following aspects except that _________.

A. it has included different types of music

B. it has attracted a wide range of audiences

C. it has introduced more activities besides music

D. it has been expanded from 2 days to 4 days in a week

4.According to Lao Lang, we can know that _________.

A. folk songs can help amateur singers become famous easily

B. folk songs are the ones just intended for the professionals

C. a folk song, always with a story, belongs to popular music

D. popular songs are used by the young to express themselves

In the past years a lot of people migrated from one country to another in Europe. They had to leave their countries with their traditions, their cultures and sometimes also their families. People migrate because they think that they will have a better life, they will find a job and they will make a lot of money for their families to survive. Sometimes it's true, and they find a job, they make a lot of money and then they go back to their families to help them. But sometimes they are not that lucky.

The problem that those people create is that a lot of people from Europe are unemployed and they don't have jobs because immigrants have taken so many jobs. But the question is also: Would European people want a job such as cleaning or hard labor? I think that most of them wouldn't. So we should stop criticizing for a moment and think. We would then maybe realize that it's not that bad to have immigrants at home.

The only problem is that it's not right that immigrants want to impose( 强加于 )their religion on other countries by leading and building mosques ( 清真寺). Because if they had done that in other countries they would have caused trouble. Phenomena like these happened a few years ago in Great Britain: It was forbidden to switch on Christmas lights outside, because Christmas is a Catholic ( 天主教的 ) recurrence and it was offensive for the Islamic people who lived there. That is not right. The country that gives hospitality to immigrants has the task to allow them to enter society, to be free to believe in their religion and their culture, but every country does not have to forget its tradition and culture. This is one of the many facts which happened in the past years, and I think that many others are going to happen because this phenomenon is developing every day more and more.

1.The first paragraph is mainly about__________.

A. what a life Europeans lived

B. why some Europeans migrated

C. how Europeans migrated

D. what migration caused

2.What's the main problem between the immigrants and the native people according to the passage?

A. Native people and immigrants fight for the same job opportunities.

B. Native people always leave the worst jobs to the immigrants.

C. Different religions and cultures often result in some conflicts.

D. Native people refuse the immigrants to enter their country.

3.What does the author think of the European immigrants?

A. It takes them too much trouble to migrate.

B. They have made contributions to the host country.

C. They are offered hard jobs but paid less.

D. They should be accepted in the host country.

4.We may learn from the passage that__________.

A. some people reject foreigners' immigrating to their own country

B. the author thinks immigrating can help mix different cultures together

C. immigrants to Great Britain were all Islamic people

D. immigrants can only find hard and dirty jobs in other countries

5.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that__________.

A. people with different religions won' t be allowed to migrate to another country

B. immigrants are not free to believe in their own culture

C. no other European countries but Great Britain have conflicts

D. problems caused by different religions and cultures will exist long

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Many animals move from one place to another at certain times of the year. This annual movement is called migration. They migrate to find food, seek a partner, or in search of warmer weather. One of the most wonderful migrations in nature is that of the North American monarch butterfly.

Every autumn, millions of these beautiful insects with fine black and orange wings begin a long and difficult journey. Somehow they manage to travel around 4, 000 kilometers south and find their way to California or Mexico. However, until recently no one knew how they did this.

A team of scientists led by Professor Eli Shlizerman at the University of Washington has now found the answer. They have found out that the monarch is able to tell the time of day. It uses its eyes to measure the position of the sun. These two pieces of information—the time of day and the point where the sun is in the sky—allow the butterfly to determine the way to go. Eventually, it manages to reach the places where it will spend the winter.

The solution to the mystery of the monarch’s amazing ability comes at a time when it is in serious trouble. Its population has crashed by as much as 90 per cent in the last few years. Sadly, human activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falling. In many of the places where the butterfly can be found, people are destroying the natural environment. They cut down trees and use chemicals that kill the plants that monarch caterpillars eat.

The research on the monarch’s behavior has however led to a greater awareness of this creature. People have been working together to record its migration and make sure that there are enough plants for it to feed on. If this works, there may come a time when the number of monarch butterflies increases once again. The more we know about this lovely creature, the greater the chance it will survive and keep its place in the natural world for a long time to come.

1.Which is not the purpose of animals’ migration according to the text?

A.To search for food. B.To look for a partner.

C.To breed young babies. D.To stay away from cold weather.

2.What mainly caused the decrease in the number of the monarch butterflies?

A.Weather changes. B.Human activities.

C.Trees being cut down. D.The long migration every year.

3.What can we know from the text?

A.All the animals migrate at fixed times of the year.

B.The monarch has the ability to identify the time of day.

C.The population of the monarch is decreasing rapidly every year.

D.No one knows how the monarch butterflies make their way to their destinations.

4.What does the last paragraph imply about the research?

A.It is quite encouraging. B.it is fairly complex.

C.It is very unacceptable. D.It is rather useless.

高三英语阅读理解简单题查看答案及解析

Parkour is a sport with the aim of moving from one point to another as smoothly, efficiently and quickly as possible using chiefly the abilities of the human body. It’s more similar to martial arts (武术) than to a sport. Parkour focuses on how any obstacle is dealt with, whether the obstacle is either physical or mental.

Inspiration for parkour came from the “Natural Method of Physical Culture” developed by Georges Hebert in the early twentieth century. French soldiers in Vietnam were inspired by Heber’s work and created what is now known as parcours du combatant (障碍训练课程). David Belle, who was introduced to this method by his father Raymond Belle, a Vietnamese soldier who had practiced it, had taken part in activities such as martial arts and gymnastics, and sought to apply his athletic skill in a manner that would have practical use in life.

After moving to Lisses, David Belle continued his journey with others. “From then on we developed,” says Sebastien Foucan, who helped to spread parkour, “and really the whole town was there for us; there for parkour.”

Over the years as devoted practitioners (实践者) improved their skills, their moves continued to grow in scale, so that building-to-building jumps and drops of over a storey(楼层) became common in media description, causing much misunderstanding on the nature of parkour.”

Although many practitioners say parkour isn’t an extreme sport, it does carry risk with it. The practice of running, jumping, and leaping from a variety of urban structures (roof tops, staircases, raised surfaces, walls, etc.) and landing on concrete, of course, carries the potential for injury. Some of the most common injuries include sprained (扭伤的) ankles and injuries to the knees.

According to one practitioner, “One of the biggest differences between parkour and other so-called ‘extreme’ sports is that it is not concerned only with physical skills, but also with one’s mental and spiritual pleasure.”

1.      The second paragraph is mainly about _______.

A. Belle’s devotion to parkour                             B. the origin of parkour

C. the use of parkour during wartime                   D. the practical use of parkour in life

2.      What do we know about David Belle?

A. He used to be a French soldier in Vietnam.

B. His attitude toward Hebert’s work was negative.

C. He and Foucan held different views on parkour.

D. He attempted to make full use of his athletic skill in life.

3.      What do we infer from the passage?

A. The practitioners think parkour is worth the risk.

B. Parkour needs specially designed training places.

C. The practitioners are often blamed by the media.

D. Parkour was developed in the early twentieth century.

4.      Parkour requires _______.

A. only the abilities of human body

B. move from one point to another

C. the ability to deal with mental problems

D. the ability to remove obstacles physically and mentally

5.      According to the passage, which of the following is parkour?

A.               B.

C.          D.
