2014辽宁高考英语题word版
2014年辽宁高考英语试卷（纯Word版）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑)。
Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度)。
but the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said.In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers’ report said, “While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears.”In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.21. More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can ___________________ .A. write more notesB. digest concepts betterC. get higher scoresD. understand lectures better22. While taking notes, laptop users tend to be ______________.A. skillfulB. mindlessC. thoughtfulD. tireless23. The author of the passage aims to _____________________.A. examine the importance of long-term memoryB. stress the benefit of taking notes by handC. explain the process of taking notesD. promote the use of laptops24. The passage is likely to appear in ___________________.A. a newspaper advertisementB. a computer textbookC. a science magazineD. a finance reportB（Q = Question; A = Answer）Situation IQ: If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater, is it rude to move?A: Maybe, but nobody will fault you for it. Chances are that the close sitter doesn’t realize he disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. You undoubtedly aren’t the first person he’s met who needs enough room. Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show.Situation IIQ: If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy something?A: Consider frequency and urgency. Is this a one-time thing or an emergency? If so, you don’t have to buy anything, but it would be kind if you did. However, if you regularly use the bathroom at this palce, then you are a customer, and you should act like one.Situation IIIQ: If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?A: No. try other means: 1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down. 2) Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作) and smile. 3) Put on earphones and ignore him.Situation IVQ: If I remember my friend’s birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened?A: This is the reason why the word belated was invented. “Happy belated birthday!” is short for: “Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy birthday.”Situation VQ: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond(回复) to it?A: Don’t lie. Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it. Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve? “Yes,” you can say if ever asked, “ I saw it” No explanation is needed as to why you don’t respond.25. You will get annoyed in a theater when ____________________.A. a person is too activeB. a person is too rude to youC. a person talks too loudlyD. a person sits too close to you26. How will you quiet someone down in a public place?A. By making fun of him continuously.B. By looking purposefully at him.C. By talking to him directly.D. By pointing angrily at him27. The underlined word “belated” in Situation IV probably means ________________ .A. predictedB. returnedC. cancelledD. delayed28. What is the passage mainly about?A. Modern ways to mind your manners.B. Different ways to change other s’ mannersC. Proper manners to offer help to others.D. Good manners to talk to people.CWould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.Nitrogen(氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi(真菌) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. this hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons(神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.“We didn’t take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly. “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.”If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a hue difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.29. The underlined sentence “the opposite is true” in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees __________ .A. compete for survivalB. protect their own wealthC. depend on each otherD. provide support for dying trees30. “Mother trees” are extremely important because they __________________ .A. look the largest in size in the forestB. pass on nutrition to young treesC. seem more likely to be cut down by humansD. know more about the complex “tree societies”31. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to __________________ .A. how “tree societies” workB. how trees grow oldC. how forestry industry developsD. how young trees survive32. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB. Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC. Trees Are More Awesome Than You ThinkD. Trees Contribute To Our SocietyDTravis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees(雇员) and profits(利润) of over $2 million per year. He’s never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her away. “Your working uniform is your shelter,” he told her. “Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be.”Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee’s occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions(情绪)。

2014高考英语阅读理解巩固精品题练习(15)
2014高考英语阅读理解巩固精品题练习（15）及答案阅读理解Remember how great exercise was when you were a little kid? Back then, racing around the playground or skipping rope for hours, you weren’t thinking fitness, you were thinking entertainment. But in this age of high-tech home equipment and underused gym memberships, the simple joy of jumping rope has been forgotten. Rediscovering it will give you a total-body exercise you can find.Although considered an excellent form of exercise, jumping rope has never gained widespread acceptance because of two fundamental reasons. First, most people recognize jumping rope as an excellent form of cardiovascular (心血管的) exercise, but they also believe that it is simply too difficult. In other words, they don’t think they’ll be able to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes that it takes to achieve a beneficial physical outcome. Second, many view it as somewhat boring and overly repetitive—not as something fun or enjoyable.As a matter of fact, jumping rope can be great fun if you find a proper way to practice it. Instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce over and over again, people good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps. A single bounce, a double–bounce, a skip, a knee-up, side swings, as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping.Now researchers are learning that jumping rope also prepares the brain for learning. It is an exercise allowing both brain hemispheres to perform in parallel to each other. In short , jumping rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment, time and space, yet leading to a much healthier life.44. From the first paragraph we learn that .A．jumping rope has faded from people’s memoriesB．people now have more advanced equipmentC．racing around the playground was preferredD．people now like to have exercise in a gym45. Rope jumping has not spread widely because .A．it benefits the cardiovascular system B．it is neither easy nor enjoyableC．it is considered boring and repetitive D．it requires little equipment, time and space46. The first sentence in the 3rd paragraph implies .A．there is only one proper way to follow B．the usual way should not be usedC．the easiest way is always the best D．there are many ways to follow47.What is the author’s attitude towards rope jumping?A．He is arguing against it. B．He is in favor of it.C．He is sitting on the fence of it. D．He is not clear about it.参考答案 44-47ABDBC8 [2013·湖北卷] EA German study suggests that people who were too optimistic about their future actually faced greater risk of disability or death within 10 years than those pessimists who expected their future to be worse.The paper, published this March in Psychology and Aging, examined health and welfare surveys from roughly 40，000 Germans between ages 18 and 96.The surveys wereconducted every year from 1993 to 2003.Survey respondents (受访者) were asked to estimate their present and future life satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10, among other questions.The researchers found that young adults (age 18 to 39) routinely overestimated their future life satisfaction, while middle－aged adults (age 40 to 64) more accurately predicted how they would feel in the future.Adults of 65 and older, however, were far more likely to underestimate their future life satisfaction.Not only did they feel more satisfied than they thought they would, the older pessimists seemed to suffer a lower ratio (比率) of disability and death for the study period.“We observed that being too optimistic in predicting a better future than actually observed was associated with a greater risk of disability and a greater risk of death within the following decade，” wrote Frieder R．Lang, a professor at the University of Erlangen－Nuremberg.Lang and his colleagues believed that people who were pessimistic about their future may be more careful about their actions than people who expected a rosy future.“Seeing a dark future may encourage positive evaluations of the actual self and may contribute to taking improved precautions (预防措施)，” the authors wrote.Surprisingly, compared with those in poor health or who had low incomes, respondents who enjoyed good health or income were associated with expecting a greater decline.Also, the researchers said that higher income was related to a greater risk of disability.The authors of the study noted that there were limitations to their conclusions.Illness, medical treatment and personal loss could also have driven health outcomes.However, the researchers said a pattern was clear.“We found that from early to late adulthood, individuals adapt their expectations of future life satisfaction from optimistic, to accurate, to pessimistic，” the authors concluded.67．According to the study, who made the most accurate prediction of their future life satisfaction?A．Optimistic adults.B．Middle－aged adults.C．Adults in poor health.D．Adults of lower income.68．Pessimism may be positive in some way because it causes people ________．A．to fully enjoy their present lifeB．to estimate their contribution accuratelyC．to take measures against potential risksD．to value health more highly than wealth69．How do people of higher income see their future?A．They will earn less money.B．They will become pessimistic.C．They will suffer mental illness.D．They will have less time to enjoy life.70．What is the clear conclusion of the study?A．Pessimism guarantees chances of survival.B．Good financial condition leads to good health.C．Medical treatment determines health outcomes.D．Expectations of future life satisfaction decline with age.【要点综述】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述对未来过于乐观的人将面对残疾或死亡的巨大危险。

When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.“We didn’t take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly. “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.29.The underlined sentence “the opposite is true”in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees__________ .A. compete for survivalB. protect their own wealthC. depend on each otherD. provide support for dying trees.30. “ Mother trees” are extremely important because they_______.A. look the largest in size in the forestB. pass on nutrition to young treesC. seem more likely to be cut down by humansD. know more about the complex “tree societies”31. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to_______.A. how “tree societies” workB. how trees grow oldC. how forestry industry developsD. how young trees survive32. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB. Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC. Trees Are More Awesome Than You ThinkD. Trees Contribute To Our Society.3DTravis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees (雇员) and profits (利润) of over &2 million per year. He's never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her. Travis took her away. “Your working uniform is your shelter, ”he told her. “Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be.”Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions (情绪). Most importantly, it taught him willpower.At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit: willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success.And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. “Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren’t working hard---–but that’s because they’ve made it automatic,” Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said, “Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it.”The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers' lives. Those courses are, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than &10 billion a year.33. We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must ________.A. learn to give lecturesB. attend education programsC. design a working uniformD. develop a common hobby34. Willpower will become a habit when employees can _________.A. focus on the profitsB. benefit from the jobC. protect themselves wellD. control their feelings well35. What can we infer from the passage?A. G&G has grown into a large companyB. G&G will spend half its profits training employeesC. G&G may become more successful in the future.D. G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

newspaper advertisement B．a computer textbookC．a science magazine D．a finance report．25．（8分）（Q=Question；A=Answer）Situation IQ：If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater，is it rude to move？A：Maybe，but nobody will fault you for it．Chances are that close sitter doesn't realize he disturbs you，so he may miss your annoyance．You undoubtedly aren't the first person he's met who needs enough room．Forgive his bad judgment，move quietly and enjoy the show．Situation IIQ：If I use the bathroom at a store，do I need to buy something？A：Consider frequency and urgency．Is this a one﹣time or an emergency？If so，you don't have to buy anything，but it would be kind if you did．However，if you regularly use the bathroom at this place，then you are a customer，and you should act like one．Situation IIIQ：If someone is talking loudly on the bus，is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down？A：No．Try other means.1）Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down.2）Lift your finger in a silence motion（动作）and smile.3）Put on earphones and ignore him．Situation INQ：If I remember my friend's birthday a day late，should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened？A：This is the reason why the word belated was invented．"Happy belated birthday!"is short for："Well，I know I forgot，but then I remembered．Forgive me and happy birthday．"Situation VQ：Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond（回复）toit？A：Don't lie．Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it．Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will

mind your manners．B．Different ways to change others'manners．C．Proper manners to offer help to others．D．Good manners to talk to people．29．（8分）Would it surprise you to learn that，like animals，trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation？UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined．Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest，Simard shows just how wrong he was．In fact，the opposite is true：trees survive through their co﹣operation and support，passing around necessary nutrition"depending on who needs it"．Nitrogen （氮）and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi （真菌）networks，making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy．This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons （神经元）in our brains，and when one tree is destroyed，it affects all．Simard talks about"mother trees"，usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend．She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation，transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow．When humans cut down"mother trees"with no awareness of these highly complex"tree societies"or the networks on which they feed，we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest．"We didn't take any notice of it"Simard says sadly．"Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying，but we never give them chance．"If we could put across the message to the forestry industry，we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future．29．The underlined sentence"the opposite is true"in Paragraph 2probably means that trees．A．compete for survivalB．protect their own wealthC．depend on each otherD．provide support for dying trees30．"Mother trees"are extremely important because they．A．look the largest in size in the forestB．pass on nutrition to young treesC．seem more likely to be cut down by humansD．know more about the complex"tree societies"31．The underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refers to．A．how"tree societies"workB．how trees grow oldC．how forestry industry developsD．how young trees survive32．What would be the best title for the passage？A．Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB．Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC．Trees Are More Awesome Than You ThinkD．Trees Contribute To Our Society．33．（6分）Travis is the manager of GG where he is responsible for forty employees （雇员）and profits （利润）of over $2 million per year．He's never late to work．He does not get upset on the job．When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her，Travis took her away．"Your working uniform is your shelter，"he told her．"Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you．You will always be as strong as you want to be．"Travis picked up that lecture in one of his GG training courses，an

the profitsB．benefit from the jobC．protect themselves wellD．control their feeling well35．What can we infer from the passage？A．GG has grown into a large company．B．GG will spend half its profits training employees．C．GG may become more successful in the future．D．GG has to produce more workbooks for managers．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．选项中有两项为多余选项．36．（10分）Eyesight plays a

into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes．Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight：•Schedule yearly exams．（36）Experts advise parents to bring babies 6to 12months of age to the

Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined．Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest，Simard shows just how wrong he was．In fact，the opposite istrue：trees survive through their co﹣operation and support，passing around necessary nutrition"depending on who needs it"．Nitrogen （氮）and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi （真菌）networks，making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy．This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons （神经元）in our brains，and when one tree is destroyed，it affects all．Simard talks about"mother trees"，usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend．She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation，transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow．When humans cut down"mother trees"with no awareness of these highly complex"tree societies"or the networks on which they feed，we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest．"We didn't take any notice of it"Simard says sadly．"Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying，but we never give them chance．"If we could put across the message to the forestry industry，we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future．29．The underlined sentence"the opposite is true"in Paragraph 2probably means that trees C．A．compete for survivalB．protect their own wealthC．depend on each otherD．provide support for dying trees30．"Mother trees"are extremely important because they B．A．look the largest in size in the forestB．pass on nutrition to young treesC．seem more likely to be cut

高中英语真题-2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空类训练(15)及答案
高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空类训练（15）及答案阅读理解Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet the y love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator, operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than ci- vilian (百姓的)clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The tel- evision repair man who wears a uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage me chanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional id entity(身份) than to step out of uniform?Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deduct ible(可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civ ilian clothes.Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experi- enced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least. Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civili an clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requ iring professional dry cleaning rath- er than the home launderin g possible with many types of civilian clothes. 1. It is surprising t hat Americans who worship variety and indi viduality ______.A. still judge a man by his clothesB. hold the uniform in such high regardC. enjoy having a professional identityD. will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform答案: B 指导：这篇文章主要讲述崇尚个性、崇尚多样化的美国人为何爱穿制服，以及制服所带来的利弊，是一道辨别事实题。
高中英语真题-2014高考英语阅读理解抓分训练(15)及答案
高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解抓分训练（15）及答案Tired of all the pushing in supermarkets? Fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought? Angry at wastin g time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you e ventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping. Or is it? Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here are a few thing s to bear in mind when browsing (浏览) various websites. The claim made by online sites is that sho pping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to be the v ictim of fraud (诈骗) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing. Use only sites that have a trusted history and an ex cellent reputation.Another problem is the appearance of items in reality is often q uite different from what you see on your computer screen. This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder bu t could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green. Also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue. Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchas e items where design and color are not essential to customer s atisfaction.Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming. Yes, your car can stay parked but how are onli ne goods delivered? Often by some large vans pouring out carb on monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic proble ms. You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated (使烦恼) by the fact that the delivery is late and you have wasted the leave from work you have taken to receive it!Without question, online shopping is here to stay and it has its b enefits. However, perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its s upporters claim it to be.36. The author lists several questions in Para. 1 to .A. support online shoppingB. collect answers from readersC. show his dislike of going shoppingD. introduce the t opic of the passage【答案】D【解析】推理判断题。

A ski school in the far north of India could put it to good use.In March we published a photo story about the extraordinary Zsnskar region in northern India，which is cut off from the outside world for more than seven months of the year，and only accessible (可通行的)via a frozen river．We also included information about the limited use of skiing in the region and the recent creation of the Zanskar Ski School:“Despite the difficulties of travelling through the region when the snow comes，skiing hasn’t traditionally been used as a means of transport by the locals，largely because trees don't grow here, so there is little in the way of raw materials from which to make skis．In 1995, a group of British scientists in the region noticed the lack of skis and one of them returned to set up the Zanskar Ski School in Padam．The school provides lessons for a small fee and rents skis to the local people. Among the benefits that the school hopes to bring are improved education—children oftenfind it difficult to get to school through the deep snow—and the possibility of offering ski tours to tourists in the future．So far，more than 300 local people have received training，and local doctors and policemen regularly borrow skis.〞Butwhat we weren't able to include in the article is that the ski school is alwayson the look out for old skiing equipment—particularly of a size suitable for children—and, I thought.

2014高考英语阅读理解练习(15)(含解析)
2014高考英语阅读理解练习〔15〕与答案〔解析〕C5[2013·陕西卷] DAbout 30 years ago, I left Cuba for the United States with my son. After getting settled finally in Brunswick, New Jersey, I enrolled(注册) my son in kindergarten. Several weeks later, my son's teacher asked me to meet him at his office.In the teacher's office, an exchange of greetings was followed by his questions：“Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)? Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability？〞Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? No, no, it can't be. What a helpless, lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead. I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.My son could not follow the teacher's directions, he told me, and thus, Scola was disrupting the class. Didn't he know my son did not speak English yet?He was angry：“Why hasn't your son been taught to speak English? Don't you speak English at home？〞No, I didn't speak English at home, I replied. I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months, and I didn't want him to forget his native language. Well, wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all times? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society？〞Needless to say, I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people〞. Then he told me the meeting was over, and I left.As I had expected, my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over. He went on to graduate from college and got a job, earning close to six figures. He travels widely and leads a well－adjusted, contented life. And hehas benefited from being bilingual(双语的)．Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others; it teaches people about other cultures and other places—something very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator〞 I met in New Jersey.57．The teacher asked the author to his office ________．A．to discuss Scola's in－class performanceB．to get Scola enrolled in kindergartenC．to find a language partner for ScolaD．to work out a study plan for Scola58．What does the underlined word “disrupting〞 in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Breaking. B．Following.C．Attending. D．Disturbing.59．The author's attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as ________．A．critical B．casualC．positive D．passive60．This text is likely to be selected from a book of________．A．medicine B．educationC．geography D．history【要点综述】本文作者通过说明自己儿子学习语言的过程和他最后的成功经历，说明了“双语〞学习的重要性。
高中英语真题-2014高考英语完形填空、阅读理解精品系列(15)含答案
高中英语真题:2014高考英语完形填空、阅读理解精品系列（15）含答案AThose who have suffered from insomnia know the sinking feelin g of watching the clock tick. Now a new study in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that lying in bed awake may actuall y contribute to the problem of sleeplessness.The study of 79 adults (average age 72) with insomnia aimed to determine whether brief behavioral interventions for insomnia would help. Traditional behavioral therapy（疗法）requires at least half a dozen hour-long sessions with a therapist — a costly commitment many pat ients either can't make or don't have access to. Other options in clude sleep-aiding medications or supplements. In the current study, the 39 participants in the behavioral therapy group received a 45- to 6 0-minute instructing session, plus a 30-minute follow-up session and two 20-minute phone calls.Doctors offered the following behavioral interventions for improv ing sleep: reduce time in bed; get up at the same time every da y, regardless of sleep duration; don't go to bed unless sleepy; and don't stay in bed unless asleep.The other 40 participants in the study were given printed educat ional materials about insomnia, which included the same instruc tions given to the intervention group, but without the individualiz ed sessions with a therapist. Two weeks later, the latter group a lso got a 10-minute follow-up phone call.At the end of four weeks, the behavioral treatment group was si gnificantly more likely to show improvements in sleep than the p rinted-materials group. By that time, 55% of those who received beha vioral treatment no longer met the criteria for insomnia, compar ed with 13% of the group that got educational brochures.The good news comes at the same time as a report on the heal th effects of insomnia from the U.K.'s Mental Health Foundation . The report, Sleep Matters, suggests a link between insomnia a nd poor relationships, low energy levels and an inability to conc entrate. Poor sleep has already been linked to depression, imm une deficiency and heart disease.What is the meaning of the underlined word “insomnia”?A. sleeplessnessB. depressionC. heart diseaseD. immu ne deficiency67. What is the disadvantage of traditional behavioral therapy?A. It can’t help.B. It costs a lot of money.C. It requires sessions with a therapist.D. It includes sleep-aiding medications.68. How to improve sleep according to the doctor?A. Lying in bed awake.B. Get up early every day.C. Don’t go to bed late at night.D. Don’t stay in bed if you are not asleep.69. We can learn from the text that insomnia may cause the foll owing results except________.A. depressionB. concentrationC. immune deficiencyD. heart disease70. What can we infer from the study?A. The intervention group was not given the printed materials.B. The latter group of the study was not given follow-up phone calls.C. The behavioral treatment group was less likely to show impr ovements.D. The instructing session that the intervention group received i s most effective.BBritain’s seed bank, the only one in the world aiming to collect a ll of the planet’s wild plant species, has reached its goal of bank ing 10 percent by 2010．The Millennium Seed Bank Project, run by Kew Gardens—one of the oldest botanical gardens—will officially deposit the 24,200th species on Thursday, a pink, wild banana from China．More than 50 countries are now on board with Kew’s giant task but vast places of the globe, including India and Brazil, still nee d to join in and donate seeds, director Paul Smith said．The seed bank is one of the largest and most diverse in the wor ld with more than 1．5 billion seeds．Its goal is to help protect t he planet’s bio-diversity during a time of climate change．The wild banana seed is under threat of extinction（灭绝） in southwest China from agricultural development．It is a vital food source for Asian elephants and important for growing bananas for human consumption．Stored at minus-20 degrees centigrade, so they can last for thousands of years, the seeds await the day that scientists hope never comes—when the species no longer exist in the wild．It is a race against time, Smith said, because in the last decade alone, 20 plants held in the bank have already been wiped out i n the wild．He estimates that between a third and a quarter will become extinct this century．"It is urgent and it is happening now．An area, the size of Engla nd, is cleared of primary vegetation（植被）every year．" Smith said．Because most of the world’s food and medicines come from nat ure, protecting wild plant species is quite important, scientists s ay．There are already many other seed banks safeguarding fo od crops, which only account for 0.6 percent of plant diversity．For Kew’s next goal—to collect a quarter of wild varieties by 2020—the botanists need 10 million pounds a year, or a further 100 mil lion pounds on top of the 40 million they have already been gra nted．71．What’s the final purpose of the Britain’s seed bank?A．To collect enough money for the project．B．To safeguard food crops．C．To protect wild plants from extinction．D．To help scientists study wild plants．72．The wild banana seed in China is in danger because of ___ ____．A．the expanding of farming workB．the climate change in this areaC．the large number of Asian elephantsD．human’s large consumption73．We can learn from the passage that _______．A．the seeds in the bank can be used now and then all over t he worldB．India and Brazil haven’t joined in the Seed Bank Project at presentC．there is only one seed bank in the world at presentD．the wild plants in places like India and China will never die out74．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 7 refer to?

For this busy man, it was a sort of alarm: after y ears of non-stop hard work, he might wear himself out and die an early deat h.Only after a week’s leave — during which he read novels, list ened to music and walked with his wife on a beach — was Rud enstine able to return to work.In our modern life, we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. Amazingly, within this world there is a universal but silly saying: “I am so busy.”We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts were a tale nt by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, w e imagine, to others. To be unavailable to our friends and family , and to be unable to find time to relax — this has become the model of a successful life.Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We miss the guide telling us where to go, the food providing us with strength, the q uiet giving us wisdom.How have we allowed this to happen? I believe it is this: we h ave forgotten the Sabbath, the day of the week — for followers of some religions — for rest and praying. It is a day when we ar e not supposed to work, a time when we devote ourselves to en joying and celebrating what is beautiful. It is a good time to bles s our children and loved ones, give thanks, share meals, walk a nd sleep. It is a time for us to take a rest, to put our work aside, trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the w orld.Rest is a spiritual and biological need; however, in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities , we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest. The Sab bath gives us permission to stop work. In fact, “Remember theSabbath” is more than simply permission to rest; it is a rule to o bey and a principle to follow.56. The “alarm” in the first paragraph refers to “_______”.A. a warning of dangerB. a spread of diseaseC. a sign of ageD. a signal of stress57.According to Paragraph 4, a successful person is one who is believed to _______.A. be busy working without time to restB. be able to work without stressC. be more talented than other peopleD. be more important than anyone else58. Some people feel guilty when taking time to rest because th ey _______.A. think that taking a rest means lacking ambitionsB. think that taking a rest means being lazyC. fail to realize that religions force them to restD. fail to realize that rest is an essential part of life59. What is the main idea of this passage?A. It is silly for anyone to say “I am so busy.”B. The Sabbath gives us permission to rest.C. We should balance work with rest.D. We should be available to our family and friends.*****************************************************结束Top lists are lecturing people on everything from"100 books to r ead ".

No w a new study in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that lying in bed awake may actuall y contribute to the problem of sleeplessness.The study of 79 adults (average age 72) with insomnia aimed to determine whether brief behavi oral interventions for insomnia would help. Traditional behavioral therapy（疗法）requires at least half a dozen hour-long sessions with a therapist — a costly commitment many patients either can't make or don't have access to. Other options include sleep-aiding medications or supplements. In the current study, the 39 participants in the behavioral th erapy group received a 45- to 60-minute instructing session, plus a 30-minute follow-up session and two 20-minute phone calls.Doctors offered the following behavioral interventions for improving sleep: reduce time in bed; g et up at the same time every day, regardless of sleep duration; don't go to bed unless sleepy; a nd don't stay in bed unless asleep.The other 40 participants in the study were given printed educational materials about insomnia, which included the same instructions given to the intervention group, but without the individualiz ed sessions with a therapist. Two weeks later, the latter group also got a 10-minute follow-up phone call.At the end of four weeks, the behavioral treatment group was significantly more likely to show i mprovements in sleep than the printed-materials group. By that time, 55% of those who received behavioral treatment no longer met th e criteria for insomnia, compared with 13% of the group that got educational brochures.The good news comes at the same time as a report on the health effects of insomnia from the U .K.'s Mental Health Foundation. The report, Sleep Matters, suggests a link between insomnia a nd poor relationships, low energy levels and an inability to concentrate. Poor sleep has already been linked to depression, immune deficiency and heart disease.What is the meaning of the underlined word “insomnia”?A. sleeplessnessB. depressionC. heart diseaseD. immune deficiency67. What is the disadvantage of traditional behavioral therapy?A. It can’t help.B. It costs a lot of money.C. It requires sessions with a therapist.D. It includes sleep-aiding medications.68. How to improve sleep according to the doctor?A. Lying in bed awake.B. Get up early every day.C. Don’t go to bed late at night.D. Don’t stay in bed if you are not asleep.69. We can learn from the text that insomnia may cause the following results except________.A. depressionB. concentrationC. immune deficiencyD. heart disease70. What can we infer from the study?A. The intervention group was not given the printed materials.B. The latter group of the study was not given follow-up phone calls.C. The behavioral treatment group was less likely to show improvements.D. The instructing session that the intervention group received is most effective.BBritain’s seed bank, the only one in the world aiming to collect all of the planet’s wild plant speci es, has reached its goal of banking 10 percent by 2010．The Millennium Seed Bank Project, run by Kew Gardens—one of the oldest botanical gardens—will officially deposit the 24,200th species on Thursday, a pink, wild banana from China．More than 50 countries are now on board with Kew’s giant task but vast places of the globe, incl uding India and Brazil, still need to join in and donate seeds, director Paul Smith said．The seed bank is one of the largest and most diverse in the world with more than 1．5 billion se eds．Its goal is to help protect the planet’s bio-diversity during a time of climate change．The wild banana seed is under threat of extinction（灭绝） in southwest China from agricultural development．It is a vital food source for Asian eleph ants and important for growing bananas for human consumption．Stored at minus-20 degrees centigrade, so they can last for thousands of years, the seeds await the day that sci entists hope never comes—when the species no longer exist in the wild．It is a race against time, Smith said, because in the last decade alone, 20 plants held in the ban k have already been wiped out in the wild．He estimates that between a third and a quarter will become extinct this century．"It is urgent and it is happening now．An area, the size of England, is cleared of primary vegeta tion（植被）every year．" Smith said．Because most of the world’s food and medicines come from nature, protecting wild plant specie s is quite important, scientists say．There are already many other seed banks safeguarding foo d crops, which only account for 0.6 percent of plant diversity．For Kew’s next goal—to collect a quarter of wild varieties by 2020—the botanists need 10 million pounds a year, or a further 100 million pounds on top of the 40 mill ion they have already been granted．71．What’s the final purpose of the Britain’s seed bank?A．To collect enough money for the project．B．To safeguard food crops．C．To protect wild plants from extinction．D．To help scientists study wild plants．72．The wild banana seed in China is in danger because of _______．A．the expanding of farming workB．the climate change in this areaC．the large number of Asian elephantsD．human’s large consumption73．We can learn from the passage that _______．A．the seeds in the bank can be used now and then all over the worldB．India and Brazil haven’t joined in the Seed Bank Project at presentC．there is only one seed bank in the world at presentD．the wild plants in places like India and China will never die out74．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 7 refer to?A．The extinction of plant species． B．Kew Gardens’ next goal．C．Britain’s seed bank． D．The Millennium Seed Bank Project．75．Which of the following information isn’t mentioned in the passage?A．The global partnership of collecting wild plant species．B．The temperature condition of the conservative wild plant species．C．The government’s financial support for the seed bank project．D．Scientists’ concern on the extinct wild plant species．参考答案、、、66—70ABDBD 71—75 CABDC****************************************************结束One morning a few years ago, Harvard President Neil Rudenstine overslept. For this busy ma n, it was a sort of alarm: after years of non-stop hard work, he might wear himself out and die an early death.Only after a week’s leave — during which he read novels, listened to music and walked with h is wife on a beach — was Rudenstine able to return to work.In our modern life, we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. Amazingly, within this world there is a universal but silly saying: “I am so busy.”We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts were a talent by nature and an ability to su ccessfully deal with stress. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, w e imagine, to others. To be unavailable to our friends and family, and to be unable to find time t o relax — this has become the model of a successful life.Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We miss the guide telling us where to go, the food providing us with strength, the quiet giving us wisdom.How have we allowed this to happen? I believe it is this: we have forgotten the Sabbath, the d ay of the week — for followers of some religions — for rest and praying. It is a day when we are not supposed to work, a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is be autiful. It is a good time to bless our children and loved ones, give thanks, share meals, walk an d sleep. It is a time for us to take a rest, to put our work aside, trusting that there are larger force s at work taking care of the world.Rest is a spiritual and biological need; however, in our strong ambition to be successful and c are for our many responsibilities, we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest. The Sab bath gives us permission to stop work. In fact, “Remember the Sabbath” is more than simply per mission to rest; it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow.56. The “alarm” in the first paragraph refers to “_______”.A. a warning of dangerB. a spread of diseaseC. a sign of ageD. a signal of stress57.According to Paragraph 4, a successful person is one who is believed to _______.A. be busy working without time to restB. be able to work without stressC. be more talented than other peopleD. be more important than anyone else58. Some people feel guilty when taking time to rest because they _______.A. think that taking a rest means lacking ambitionsB. think that taking a rest means being lazyC. fail to realize that religions force them to restD. fail to realize that rest is an essential part of life59. What is the main idea of this passage?A. It is silly for anyone to say “I am so busy.”B. The Sabbath gives us permission to rest.C. We should balance work with rest.D. We should be available to our family and friends.*****************************************************结束Top lists are lecturing people on everything from"100 books to read ". Aren't you just tired of bei ng told what to do with your time?Now you have a list to end all lists!Take a look at the following two examples from the list of "101 things not to do":Swim with Dolphins（海豚）？Swimming with dolphins is one of the world’s most profitable tourist activities.

Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they’re just opening mouths. Go to See the Mona Lisa?There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的)smile. The 6 million people who the lady in the Louvre every year can’t all be wrong after all.

After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painti ng only for 15 seconds most.If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn’t just be smiling, she laughing. So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Tings N OT to Do Before You Die. Visit and buy the book at a 20％ discoun t.60.

It is not as satisfying as expected.D. Queuing for hours is worthwhile.62.

What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To recommend tourist activities.B. To comment on popular listsC. To introduce a websiteD. To advertise a bookPassage ***It was raining.

A ski school in the far north of India could put it to good use.In March we published a photo story about the extraordinary Zsnskar region in northern India，which is cut off from the outside world for more than seven months of the year，and only accessible (可通行的)via a frozen river．We also included information about the limited use of skiing in the region and the recent creation of the Zanskar Ski School:“Despite the difficulties of travelling throug h the region when the snow comes，skiing hasn’t traditionally been used as a means of transport by the locals，largely because trees don't grow here, so there is little in the way of raw materials from which to make skis．In 1995, a group of British scientists in the region noticed the lack of skis and one of them returned to set up the Zanskar Ski School in Padam．The school provides lessons for a small fee and rents skis to the local people. Among the benefits that the schoo l hopes to bring are improved education—children often find it difficult to get to school through the deep snow—and the possibility of offering ski tours to tourists in the future．So far，more than 300 local people have received training，and local doctors and policemen regularly borrow skis.”But what we weren't able to include in the article is that the ski school is always on the look out for old skiing equipment—particularly of a size suitable for children—and, I thought. Now theEuropean ski season is drawing to a close，there might be a few of you out there who have some old equipment you'd like to see go to a good home．If that's the ease you can get in touch with the school via their website www.zanskarski .63.

Who would be the most helpful to the school now?A. Locals in Zanskar region．B. Students in the Zanskar Ski School．C. People having old skiing equipment．D. Tavellers enjoying skiing．67. What can be the best title for the text？A. An extraordinary region in IndiaB. A popular sport—skiingC. A good means of transportD.
