1、完整word版阅读练习12篇word文档良心出品Reading ComprehensionPassage OneFor Roy Johnson, a senior magazine editor, the latest indignity came after a recent dinner at a fancy restaurant in the wealthy New York City suburb where he and his family live. First the parking valet handed him the keys to his Jaguar instead

2、 of fetching the car. Then an elderly white couple came out and handed him the keys to their black Mercedes-Benz. “It took them a while to realize that I was not a valet,” says Johnson. “It didnt matter than I was dressed for dinner and had paid a handsome price for the meal just as he had. What mat

3、tered was that I didnt fit his idea of some who could be equal to him.” 1The word “valet” in the first paragraph most probably means _. Aa restaurant owner Ba driver of expensive cars Ca wealthy-looking gentleman Da restaurant employee taking care of the cars of the diners Such incidents, which are

4、depressing familiar to African-Americans of all ages, incomes, and social classes, help explain why black and white attitude often differ so completely. A recent survey found that 68% percent of blacks believe racism is still a major problem in America. Only 38% of whites agreed. 2Roy Johnson was un

5、fairly treated because _. Ahis car was inferior in quality Bhe forgot to wear proper clothes Che failed to express himself clearly Dhe is black Many Americans find the gulf between blacks and whites bewildering. After all, official segregation is a bad memory and 40 years of laws. Polices and the co

6、urt decisions have helped African Americans make significant progress toward equal opportunity. Instead, a black man born in Harlem could be the nations next president. 3From the passage we can learn that _. Aboth blacks and whites are bewildered by racism Bexamples of racism are common in the US Cs

7、ome government officials have very bad memories Da black man born in Harlem will be the next US president But racism persists, unmistakable to every black but largely invisible to many whites. It is evident in the everyday encounters African-Americans have with racial prejudice and discrimination, l

8、ike the valet parking incident. Such encounters often strike whites as trivial misunderstandings. But they remind blacks that they are often dismissed as less intelligent, less industrious, less honest and less likely to succeed. Some insults are patently racist; others may be evidence of insensitiv

9、ity or bad manners rather than racial prejudice. But the accumulation of insults feeds anger.4It is implied in the passage that many white people deny the presence of racism in the US because _. Athey tend to regard instances of racism as trivial misunderstandings Bthey have never seen any instance

10、of racism in their country Cthey believe that black people are inherently less intelligent and less industrious Dthey have always treated black people as their equals “What is amazing to me is the number of whites who express surprise that any of these happens,” observes Mary Francis Berry, chairper

11、son of the U.S. commission on civil rights, who says she has been watched at shopping malls.5Judging from the context, the most possible explanation for Mary Frances Berrys being watched at shopping malls is that _. Ashe was a national celebrity Bshe didnt fit peoples idea of an Afro-American woman

12、Cmany people nowadays are insensitive and rude Dshe is blackPassage TwoAdd Littleton, Colorado, to the list of cities dazed with grief after a school slaughter. Two students shot and killed 12 other students and a teacher before taking their own lives. The massacre was the largest in the history of

13、this nation. This type of crime didnt exist 10 years ago. Americans should stop acting surprised that these shooting happen in nicer neighborhoods. Thats the only place they happen. None of the recent school massacres took place at an inner-city campus; they all occurred in smaller towns or suburbs.

14、 These killers havent been from impoverished or extremely violent families. They dont appear to have been picked on(挨骂受罚) any worse than kids have been for generations. They chose alienation and destruction, and they found the tools to carry out their hate-filled plan. 1. One common feature of all t

15、he recent school massacres is that _. A) they have all been carefully planned by hateful youngstersB) the killers have all failed to passed their exams C) they all occur in places that appear to be all rightD) the killers are all from disadvantaged familiesDo not blame schools for these massacres. S

16、chools simply take what they are sent. Question the killers parents. The parents are supposed to teach their children respect and empathy（认同和理解别人的感情） for others lives. Parents should help their offspring learn to handle taunt （嘲弄）or conflict without resorting to violence. 2. Children are less likely

17、 to become killers if _.A) their parents succeed in teaching them respect and empathy for others livesB) they study hard in school and get high scores C) teachers stop telling meaningless jokes in classD) they follow the rules set by administrators at schools around the countryAll concerned adults s

18、hould take a youths threat to shoot someone as seriously as airport security guards take jokes about bombs. Students must be encouraged to tell teachers if a classmate threatens or jokes about violence. Administrators at schools around the country need to emphasize they will take such reports seriou

19、sly, and that they will not identify any student who comes forward with such a report. More gun regulations probably wont stop these shootings, but gun owners and sellers must take more responsibility for keeping weapons away from young people. Gun owners should keep their guns unloaded, locked up a

20、nd hidden away. Most car owners dont leave their keys in the car even when they park in their own garage; gun owners should be at least as careful with weapons. The federal government cant solve this problem. Schools alone cant solve it. More guns wont solve it. Americans must consciously create a c

21、ulture that makes violence unacceptable. Parents need to stop allowing their childrens minds to be polluted with violence. News media need to show more restraint and thought about how and what they report. 3. Who does the author think should take the main responsibility for campus shootings？ A) Scho

22、ol authorities. B) The federal government.C) News media. D) The killers parents. The Colorado massacre is a national tragedy.

25、ld like to see its plastic products in all European kitchens; and Unilever promotes its detergents around the world. As markets expand, national boundaries mean less and less.

28、village, North American companies are increasingly finding it necessary to adapt to other cultures. In China and Korea, Procter & Gamble learned to promote unisex white diapers. Although North Americans preferred pink for girls and blue for boys, Korean and Chinese housewives dont like the idea. In

29、a society where intense sexism favors boys, shoppers preferred white diapers that did not signal their childs sex. 3.

30、o cut down the costs D) because it has to cater to the local peoples demands Whats caused this rush toward globalization of markets and blurring of national identities?
