Both morning and afternoon Torah readings come from parsha Acharei Mos.
The morning reading starts at the beginning of the parsha, and details the Yom Kippur
service of the Kohen Gadol in the mishkan and later in the Beit Hamikdash, including the
korbanos, the entry into the kodshei kodoshim, the goat to Azazel, etc. The morning
reading is rendered in the special nusach of the Yomim Noraim.
The reading for minchah is a selection from later in the same parsha, where the various
forbidden marriage relationships are listed ... possibly in recognition of the fact that Yom Kippur
in ancient times was a kind of "Sadie Hawkins" day, when the gals approached the boys
and there was considerable merriment. The reading in the afternoon is rendered in the
regular nusach of the Torah trop year-around. The afternoon haftara is the entire book
of Jonah, complete with giant fish, withered gourd, dry bones, etc. It's enough to take
your mind off of hunger.
The Torah reading for Shacharis (morning) on Yom Kippur is the beginning of the parsha 'Acharei Mos' (Leviticus, Ch. 16), which describes the service in the Tabernacle, and later in the Holy Temple, performed by the Kohanim (Priests) on Yom Kippur. The Torah reading for Mincha (afternoon) on Yom Kippur is a section taken from the end of the same parsha (Leviticus, Ch. 18), which deals with moral standards, and in particular, with an enumeration of forbidden relationships and marriages.
The pronounciation of yom kippur is yum-kipp-her.
