语鹅市安置阳光实验学校2015西安市高考英语【四月】阅读理解、完形填空选练（3）答案阅读理解Imagine looking for your lost dog. Youstep into a cave. But instead of the dog, youfind beautiful cave paintings. You seepaintings of horses, deer, and bison drawn inblack, brown, red and yellow. Your firstquestion would probably be“Who did this? ”This is what happened to four French boys in 1940. They found the Lascaux caves. The paintings the boys discovered in those caves are about 17, 000 years old. They were drawn by the ancient people called Cro-Magnon(克鲁马努人).Cro-Magnons looked much like people of today. They used tools, such as fishing nets. But their art was extremely good. The main cave at Lascaux is called Great Hall of Bulls, which has a picture of bulls and horses in many colours. The largest animal is 18 feet long. There are smaller animals, such as bison, stags and a bear. There is also a strange spotted two-horned(两只角的)animal.To the left of the main cave are the most famous paintings that are the drawings of animals in many different colours. One painting is called Little Horses. On the ceiling are horses and cows. The most unusual sight may be in the Shaft of the Dead Man where there is a rhinoceros, a carefully drawn dead man, an injured bison and a bird.Why did Cro-Magnon artists do these beautiful drawings on cave walls? Did the drawings call upon some magic power? Did the Cro-Magnon people hope that the drawings would bring good luck? There is one thing the paintings seem to tell us. The Cro-Magnons were interested in the world. They looked at beauty and they understood it.【文章大意】本文介绍了法国Lascaux岩洞壁画的相关情况。

Increa sed use of the Internet and mobile pho nes is undermining pupils’ability for independent study and promoting poor grammar, it was claimed.Cranfield School of Managementfound almost six in ten schoolchildrenwere copying information directly from websites for homework tasks without properly reading it.More than a quarter thought it was an acceptable practice, eventhough they know it was considered plagiarism(剽窃).The study, based on a sample of around 260 pupils aged from 11 to 18at a secondary school in the Midlands, raised concerns that moderntechnology was having a destructive effect on young people.Andrew Kakabadse, professor of international management development at Cranfield, said, “Our researc h shows that technologyobsession(痴迷)prevents spelling skills, encourages plagiarism, anddisturbs classroom learning. ”“Despite school policies restricting mobile ph one usage, students use the phone frequently, with the majority making calls from the toilets. The mobile phone continues to be a main channel of social communication during the school day. ”The report revealed that so-called“text-speak”was increasingly f inding it was into pupils’school work.Three in ten students admit to using text message shortcuts, such as“r u ok”in ess ays and classroom tasks.It followed a study earlier this year that found almost half of the teachers failed to understand some pupils’writing because it was so full of confusing language. Phrases such as“innit”and“Gr8”were regularly found in school work.The Cranfield study found that mobile use was so common that many pupils chose to ignore school rules on phones.More than a third said they would use their mobile in class, while nearly three quarters said they would not even make an excuse to leave class to answer a phone call.【文章大意】使用互联网和手机的学生越来越多了。

定额市鞍钢阳光实验学校2015高考英语（四月）完形填空、阅读理解小练（2）答案【2015高考复习】阅读理解Does stress cause gray hair？Many people believe that tension and stress can cause your hair to lose its color.In fact，it is an_old_wives’_tale that being upset all the time can result in premature graying.Here is a closer look at this situation and why some believe that this old wives’ tale could be true.As one ages，the hairs on the head also age.In fact，just about everything on the human body begins to show signs of wear and tear after a while.The joints wear and become stiff and skin wears and becomes wrinkled.Hairs on the head grow and eventually die.They are replaced，but in the process something else happens.When new hairs are replaced，the color or pigment (色素) is also added to them.However，as one ages，this pigment becomes less and less available.At first，hairs will have a limited amount of pigment and they will appear to be grayish in color.In time，they will lose all of their pigment and will be white.Many things are known to cause graying，and genetics is a very powerful factor.If one of your parents turns gray at an early age，there is a good chance that you will too.Some people begin the graying process in high school，while others may be over the age of forty.Constant worry and tension can have many harmful effects on the human body.It is a known fact that stressful times can cause one to suffer hair loss.It would make sense that if it can cause these problems，perhaps it also may contribute to graying.However，there is no sound evidence to support this.On the other hand，many medical professionals believe that there may be a link between graying and a constant state of anxiety or tension.Does stress cause gray hair？There is no scientific evidence to support the theory，but it is best to avoid stressful situations.【语篇解读】压力会导致头发变白吗？许多人相信情况是这样的。

陕西省西安市高考英语四月阅读理解、完形填空选练（10）2015西安市高考英语【四月】阅读理解、完形填空选练（10）答案阅读理解English as a Foreign LanguageWho taught you to speak English? Your parents, while you were a young child? Your teachers at school? Perhaps even the BBC as a grown-up. Whoever it was,somehow you have developed an understanding of what is rapidlybecoming a truly global language.There are now about 376 million people who speak English astheir first language, and about the same number who have learnt itin addition to their mother tongue. There are said to be one billionpeople learning English now and about 80% of the information onthe Internet is in English.Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures? Or should we worry about the dangers of“mono-culturalism”, a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music?Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language? On the contrary, I would have thought-although I have never accepted the argument that if only we allunderstood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India(where many of them speak at least some English)and Pakistan(the same situation with India). . .If we all speak English, will we then all start eating McDonald’s burgers? Surely not. If English becomes more dominant(占主导地位的), will it kill other languages? I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but often one or more other related languages, as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well.When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we receive d a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland. “The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe it’s like a rose, ”he said. “But who would ever want their garden just full of rose? ”Well, I love roses, and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you don’t necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, that’s fine by me.【文章大意】作者以独特的视角分析了英语的发展前景和人们的种种顾虑。

2015西安市高考英语短文改错、阅读理解【四月】选练4【阅读理解】William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13,1865. His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by sa ying that he remembere d “little of childhood but its pain〞. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family—both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s.His early theatrical experiments，however，were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn't lose heart，and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats's poems attract much admiring notice.The subject matter includes love，nature，history，time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923.Yet，he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40，he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats's death in 1939, W．H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines：Earth，receive an honoured guest：William Yeats is laid to rest.Let the Irish vessel (船) lieEmptied of its poetry.本文介绍了爱尔兰著名作家威廉·巴特勒叶慈，他在19世纪90年代成立了爱尔兰国家剧院，他以诗体戏剧与诗歌闻名，于1923年获得了诺贝尔奖。

(2014·溧阳模拟)An Israeli law banning too-skinny models went into effect with the start of 2013. The law, approved last March in Israel, requires models to prove they have maintained a Body Mass Index(BMI)of at least 18. 5 for three months before a fashion show. That means a woman who is 5’8”tall can weigh no less than 119 pounds.“This law is another step in the war against eating disorders, ”said physician Adatto. “Underweight models, ”he explained, “can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny. ”But some critics in this country say it is misguided, focusing on weight instead of health. They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry. “I think it’s an approach that isn’t going to work, ”said eating disorder expert Susan Ice, who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models.But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an aspiring model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized. He said, “I realized that only legislation(立法)can change the situation. There was no time to waste; so many girls were dieting to death. ”However, the efforts to regulate model’s weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health.Still, folks including Ice say there’s no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with. “Certainly I don’t believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders, but it makes it harder, ”she says. “It’s a difficult recovery environment, worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal. ”【文章大意】本文讲述了以色列出台了一项新法律, 限制模特太瘦, 此项新法律引起了争议。

One secret of swimmer Michael Phelps’ astonishing perform ance in the 2008 Olympics in was consuming as many as 12, 000 calories in one day.Athletes can eat like this and not gain any weight because the ir workouts are intense.

Designer PatrickHyland says it can even work off the warmth of your pocket. The first time“it would takeapproximately se ven hours to reach full charge, then after that it’s continuously charging by keeping the phone in areas between 86 degrees and 104 degrees Fahrenheit. ”That’s one hot pocket.He’s put a thermo generator(热偶发电器)inside the phone that transforms heat into electric potential energy. To better conduct the heat to that little power plant in your pocket, the E-Cu(E for energy, Cu for copper)is coated by copper backing with heat sinks like those normally used to keep electronics from overheating.Nokia doesn’t ha ve current plans to build the phone, so for now it remains a concept. But Hyland says he’s open to anyone who wants to cooperate.For Americans this technology would certainly be convenient. It would also save a bit on energy bills and waste. “Annually, u nwanted phone chargers produce 51, 000 tons of waste in addition to the greenhouse gases created by the production of the electricity needed to charge them, ”Hyland says. So a charger-free phone is also a green phone. Though adapting our plug-in habits would help a group of people, most cell phone related energy use comes from leaving your charger plugged in all day unnecessarily.The real potential for charger-free cell phone technology is what it could enable places where plugging in isn’t an option, l ike rural areas in the developing world.Cell phones are spreading faster than power lines and bringing with them countless opportunities, aid and health advances. A phone like the E-Cu, if it ever comes to be, would enable all manner of expanded aid and development by phone projects. Let’s hope Patrick finds a partner. 【文章大意】本文介绍的是一种不用插入电源、在口袋里即可获得电能的手机。

A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly，courteous and helpful most Americans were to them．To be fair，this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians，and should best be considered North American．There are，of course，exceptions．Small-minded officials，rude waiters，and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US．Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment．For a long period of time and in many parts of the country, a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence．Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another．Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of diversion，and brought news of the outside world．The harsh realities of the frontier also shaped this tradition of hospitality．Someone traveling alone，if hungry，injured，or ill，often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement．It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers．It reflected the harshness of daily life：if you didn‘t take in the stranger and take care of him，there was no one else who would．And someday，remember，you might be in the same situation．Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the weary traveler．Yet，the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US，especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist trails．“I was just traveling through，got talking with this American，and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner—amazing．” Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon，but are not always understood properly．1．In the eyes of visitors from the outside world，___________．A．rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the USB．small-minded officials deserve a serious commentC．Canadians are not so friendly as their neighborsD．most Americans are ready to offer help2．It could be inferred from the last paragraph that ___________．A．culture exercises an influence over social interrelationshipB．courteous convention and individual interest are interrelatedC．various virtues manifest themselves exclusively among friendsD．social interrelationships equal the complex set of cultural conventions 3．Families in frontier settlements used to entertain strangers ___________．A．to improve their hard lifeB．in view of their long-distance travelC．to add some flavor to their own daily lifeD．out of a charitable impulse4．The tradition of hospitality to strangers ___________．A．tends to be superficial and artificialB．is generally well kept up in the united StatesC．is always understood properlyD．has something to do with the busy tourist trails5．What’s the author’s attitudes toward the American‘s friendliness？A．Favorable． B．Unfavorable． C．Indifferent． D．Neutral．【参考答案】1---5、DACBA【2015高考复习】阅读理解Public bookshelves are appearing across Germany on street corners，city squares and in suburban supermarkets.In these freeforall libraries，people can grab whatever they want to read，and leave behind anything they want for others.There’s no need to register，no due date，and you can take or giv e as many as you want.“This project is aimed at everyone who likes to read.It is open for everybody，” Michael Aubermann，one of the organizers of the free book exchange said.The western city’s latest public shelf was put up next to Bayenturm.It is the fo urth free shelf that Aubermann’s group，the Cologne Citizen’s Foundation，has placed outside.“We set up our other outdoor shelves last year and it’s been working really well，” said Aubermann.The public bookshelves，which are usually financed by donations and cared for by local volunteer groups，have appeared independently of each other in many cities，suburbs and villages.Each shelf holds around 200 books and it takes about six weeks for a complete turnover，with all the old titles replaced by new ones.Even commercial book stores and online book sellers seem to support the idea of free book exchanges.“We see this project rather as a sales promotion than as competition，” said Elmar Muether.“If books are present everywhere，it helps our business，too.”So far，the Cologne book group has had few problems with damage or other problems.Aubermann said，“Propaganda (宣传) is the only kind of literature we do not allow here.”At another bookshelf in the Bayenthal neighborhood，the lower shelves are reserved for children’s literature only.“It is important that we make it easy for everyone to participate in this ‘reading culture on the street’—from old readers to kids to immigrants，” Aubermann said.While most of the shelves have so far been put up in upscale_neighborhoods，Aubermannand the 20 volunteers who help look after the project are planning to put up future shelves in poor neighborhoods，where citizens often don’t have as much access to literature.【语篇解读】在德国的城市街角、广场和郊区超市，一排排公共书架出现在人们的视野中。

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校南宁市2015高考英语四月阅读理解和完形填空自练（5）答案【2015高考复习】阅读理解For many people，volunteering is a way of life.Holidays are the time of the year that more people are in a giving mood.Homeless shelters，children’s hospitals，and nursing homes are excellent places to give of one’s time.Volunteering in Homeless SheltersThere is a homeless directory online that anyone can easily access to find the closest homeless shelter to their home.According to the homeless shelter directory，currently there are 3,233 shelters in the US，so it is not difficult to find a shelter.Helping to serve food，picking up donations of food，preparing meals，and cleaning up are things that one can do to help at a homeless shelter.Volunteering in Children’s HospitalsEvery child needs comfort and joy，especially during the holiday seasons.By visiting sick children in hospitals，an individual provides helping hands by supplementing the services usually done by the hospital staff.Personalizing the hospital experience adds to the comfort and happiness of the children and their families.Volunteers provide help，and positive interactions (相互交流) which enhance the patient’s quality of care.Help is needed almost everywhere in a hospital；from the lobby，parking lot，cafeteria，to admitting，helping with the gift cart，and even reading to children in the waiting rooms or their hospital rooms. Volunteering in Nursing HomesAccording to the National Center for Health Statistics，“Over 50% of those living in nursing homes do not have close relatives and 46% have no livin g children.” Life in a nursing home is lonely，confusing，and frightening for many residents.Volunteering at a nursing home is a great opportunity to make a difference in someone else’s life.Playing cards，sitting with and talking to a resident，taking a walk，or sharing a meal makes a huge difference，especially when they have no other sole on earth to visit them.The three examples above are only a small fraction of institutions in which volunteers are needed.Giving of oneself，especially during the holidays blesses and cheers others.【语篇解读】本文介绍了人们在假期中可以选择去做志愿活动的三个地方。
