工作。因此B是正确答案。12.D答案在第一段的中间有一句话：“thereasonbehindallthisconfusionisthatthereneverhasbeenpropervocationalguidanceinoureducationalinstitution.”造成这种状况的原因是我们的教育机构没有给学生们进展适当的职业指导。因此D为正确答案。13.A答案在第二段第一句话。“Inchoosingacareeryoushouldfirstconsiderthetypeofworkwhichwillsuityourinterest.“选择职业的时候首先要考虑的是这个工作你是否有兴趣。”因此A正确答案。14.D文章的第一段谈到：“年轻人找工作时候的随意性，因为他们没有经过任何的培训。”第二段谈到：“选择职业的时候首先考虑的是自己是否有兴趣。”因此文章的标题应当是：“如何选择工作”因此D为正确答案。2023高考英语阅读理解试题40篇之一(含答案)Therearethreekindsofgoals:short-term,medium-rangeandlong-termgoals.Short-rangegoalsarethosethatusuallydealwithcurrentactivities,whichwecanapplyonadailybasis.Suchgoalscanbeachievedinaweekorless,ortwoweeks,orpossiblemonths.Itshouldberememberedthatjustasabuildingisnostrongerthanitsfoundation,outlong-termgoalscannotamounttoverymunchwithouttheachievementofsolidshort-termgoals.Uponpletingourshort-termgoals,weshoulddatetheoccasionandthenaddnewshort-termgoalsthatwillbuildonthosethathavebeenpleted.Long-rangegoalsmayberelatedtoourdreamsofthefuture.Theymightcoverfiveyearsormore.Lifeisnotastaticthing.Weshouldneverallowalong-termgoaltolimitusorourcourseofaction.1.Ourlong-termgoalsmeanalot______.A.ifwepleteourshort-rangegoalsB.ifwecannotreachsolidshort-termgoalsC.ifwewritedownthedatesD.ifweputforwardsomeplans2.Newshort-termgoalsarebulidupon______.A.twoyearsB.long-termgoalsC.currentactivitiesD.thegoalsthathavebeenpleted3.Whenwepleteeachstepofourgoals,______.A.wewillwinfinalsuccessB.weareoverwhelmedC.weshouldbuildupconfidenceofsuccessD.weshouldstrongdesireforsettingnewgoals4.Onceourgoalsaredrawnup,_______.A.weshouldsticktothemuntilwepletethemB.wemaychangeourgoalsaswehavenewideasandopportunitiesC.wehadbetterwaitfortheexcitingnewsofsuccessD.wehavemadegreatdecision5.Itisimpliedbutnotstatedinthepassagethat______.A.thosewhohabelong-termgoalswillsucceedB.writingdownthedatesmaydiscourageyouC.thegoalisonlyaguideforustoreachourdesinationD.everyshouldhaveagoal答案：adcbc2023高考英语阅读理解试题40篇之二(含答案)1.Whatisthebesttitleofthepassage?c.U.S.Economyinthe50’sd.TheFederalBudgetof19522.InLine3,theword“boom”couldbestbereplacedby______.a.nearbyexplosionb.thunderousnoisec.generalpublicsupportd.rapideconomicgrowth3.ItcanbeinferredthenationalfromthepassagethatmostpeopleintheUnitedStatesin1955viewedthenationaleconomywithanairof_________.a.confidenceb.confusionc.disappointmentd.suspicion4.WhichofthefollowingwereLEASTsatisfiedwiththenationaleconomyinthe1950’s?a.Economistsb.Frmaersc.Politiciansd.Steelworkersa.60%b.50%c.33%d.90%答案：cdabc2023高考英语阅读理解试题40篇之三(含答案)OneofthepositiveresultsfromherstudywasaSystem-wideprogramtoinformwomenofavailableadministrativejobs.CollegeofmunicationAssociateDeanPatricaWitherspoon,saiditisimportantthatwomanbeflexiblewhenitestorelocatingiftheywanttoriseintheranks.Althoughawomanmayfaceachillyclimateoncus,manytimesinorderforhertosucceed,shemustriseabovetheproblemsaroundherandconcentrateonherwork.UntilwomenmakeupagreaterpercentageoftheseniorpositionsintheUniversityandallacademia,inequitieswillexist.1.AccordingtoSpirduso,womenneedto____.duceareportonsexualdiscriminationb.callforfurtherimprovementintheirworkingconditions2.Fromthispassage,weknowthat_____.a.therearemanywomenfullprofessorsintheUniversityofTexasb.womenplayanimportantpartinadminitratingtheUniversityc.theweatheronthecusischillyd.womenmakeupasmallpercentageoftheseniorpositionsintheUniversity3.Whichofthefollowingstatementsistrue?a.thenumberofwomenprofessorsintheUniversityin1987wasgreaterthanthatof1985b.thenumberofwomenprofessorsintheUniversityin1987wassmallerthanthatof1985c.thenumberofwomenprofessorswasthesameasthatof1985d.moreandmorewomenprofessorsthoughtthatsexualdiscriminationdidexitintheUniversity4.OneofthepositiveresultsfromMilburn'sstudywasthat_____.a.womenweretoldtoconcentrateonteirworkb.womenweregiveninformationaboutavailableadministrativejobsc.womenwereencouragedtotakeonalltheadministrativejobsintheUnversityd.womenwereencouragedtodomorescholarlyactivities5.Thetitleforthispassageshouldbe_______.a.TheUniversityofTexasb.Milburn'sReportc.WomenProfessorsd.SexualDiscriminationinAcademia答案：ddabd2023高考英语阅读理解试题40篇之四(含答案)Today,asineveryotherdayoftheyear,morethan3000U.S.adlescentswillsmoketheirfirstcigaretteontheirwaytobeingregularsmokersasadults.Duringtheirlifetime,itcanbeexpectedthatofthese3000about23willbemurdered,30willdieintrafficaccidents,andnearly750willbekilledbyasmoking-relateddisease.Thenumberofdeathsattributedtocigarettesmokingoutweithtsallotherfactors,whethervoluntaryorinvoluntary,asacauseofdeath.Sincethelate1970s,whendailysmokingamonghighschoolseniorsreached30precent,smokingratesamongyouthhavedeclined.Whilethedeclineisimpressive,severalimportantissuesmustberaised.First,inthepastseveralyears,smokingratesamongyouthhavedeclinedverylittle.Second,inthelate1970s,smokingamongmalehighschoolseniorsexceededthatamongfemalebynearly10percent.Thestatisticisreversing.Third,severalrecentstudieshaveindicatehighschooldropoutshaveexcessivelyhighsmokingrates,asmuchas75percent.Finally,thouthsignificantdeclinesinadolescentsmokinghaveoccurredinthepastdecade,nodefinit
