【广东省广州市执信中学2013第三次模拟】A My grandparents actively practiced simplicity. They both grew up in very large families and lived through the Great Depression。
Saving for a rainy day and avoiding superfluous consuming was their life philosophy。
Rather than seeking fulfillment through material items, they chose to spend really simple life together, with family and in nature.Over the years my grandparents noticed dramatic changes in their community. Every year more farmland was destroyed to build larger and larger homes。
As real estate prices rose，many of their neighbors sold their little homes and land。
Soon theirs were the only small house on the block，surrounded by a sea of mansions. My grandparents built and lived m a small 600-square-foot cottage for most of their adult lives。

高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解精品训练（17）及答案解析C4[2012·北京卷]The Basics of Math—Made ClearBasic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathe matics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas. These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an u nderstanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数)and beyond.The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmeti c. They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to lear ning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathemat ical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how th ese operations can be used practically.Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradu ally moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students.

They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their a bility to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges. Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Televisi on as “the best math teacher in America”， is a devoted teache r and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways th at make them seem clear and obvious. From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is a master in making math lectures learnerfriendlier and less scary.With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State Univ ersity, Dr. Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona Colle ge. His courses include various makeup classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers.If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you c an easily exchange it for any other course that we offer.

Joan feels hurt for Sally seems completely uninterested in her baby. Sally，who has no children, claims that her younger sister "acts as if no one ever had a beby before.”Neither Sally nor Joan understands that the real cause of the current coldness is that their family roles have suddenly changed to the opposite。

高中英语真题-2014高考英语单项选择精英定时训练题(17)及答案
高中英语真题:2014高考英语单项选择精英定时训练题（17）及答案情景对话单项选择（1）情景对话单项选择序与词汇、听力、阅读、写作相比，语法实际是最容易学的，（你可以问问英语成绩优秀的学生）但许多同学学了许多年英语后，语法仍然是一塌糊涂。
有的学生也下了很大决心想把语法学好，但在努力了相当长的时间之后还是没有明显进步，最终决定放弃。
有的老师在语法上投入了很多，让学生做了很多题，也投入了大量时间来评讲，但学生的语法长进仍不大，最后“顿悟”了，说，“在语法上付出太多时间不值得。
”语法真的不重要吗？如果有人说语法不重要，那一定是违心的，因为谁都知道高考多考一分多么重要，而学好语法不仅可以提高单选的得分，又可提高阅读、改错和作文的得分，增的又何止十分八分？而切，单选题和作文上的得分一般是不会有什么变数的，而阅读题的得分还要看考场发挥地如何。
说在语法上付出时间不值得，实际上是在承认自己在语法学习上或教学上是失败的。
为什么那么多人都学不好语法呢？一方面是因为现在盛行的教学理论在作怪。
它把外语教学和母语与第二语言的教学混为一起，过于强调语言的“习得”，而完全忽视了传统的语法教学，导致学生的语法基础较差。
另一方面，因为没有合适的语法资料。
教材上的语法讲解，“千呼万唤始出来，犹抱琵琶半遮面”，总是放不下架子，就是讲一点，其深度比考试的难度要低得多，根本靠不住。
书店里的语法资料，一类是语法大家们编的，旨在解释一些语法现象，本来就不是给高中学生看的，有些知识学生看了没有用，有些知识学生根本看不懂。
再一类就是一些名校编的资料，先是笼统的语法讲解，再弄点题一凑就好了。
讲的多，练的少，结果是学生前学后忘，印象不深。
学生平时做的语法题都过于靠高考，强调覆盖面，什么都有，一半题学生都不会做。
老师就是讲，也没时间系统地讲，学生一知半解，课后，又没有针对性很强的题进行巩固，学生还是学得稀里糊涂。
所以就造成了，学生题没少做，老师没少讲，学生语法还是没进步。

A在于；B召集；C吸收，理解，欺骗；D导致；句意：然而，这种自然的平衡被人类的行为打破了。
导致很多难以预料的可能的影响。
根据句意说明D正确。
考点：考察动词短语辨析点评：动词短语是高考常考内容。
可以按照以下方法学习：1.在每个部分找出自己最熟悉或者最理解的短语，并根据该短语助记总体意思；2.熟记动词本身所具有的全部意思；3.重点根据小品词在该项中的总体意思结合动词本身的意思，理解自己最不理解和不熟悉的短语4.脱离汉语，只看英语动词短语，并放到具体句子和场景中认识动词短语5.注意有些短语意义很接近, 这要结合例句和上下文掌握它们的用法。
2．These facts are unimportant in ________, but if you put them together, you may find something unusual.A. itB. themC. itselfD. themselves 【答案】D【解析】试题分析：考察代词固定搭配。
介词in oneself自身；因为本句的主语是these facts，所以使用in themselves在他们自己。
句意：这些事实自身好像很不重要的，但是如果你把他们都放在一起，你会发现一些不同寻常的事情。
故D正确。
考点：考察固定搭配点评：：固定搭配是学习语言的重要环节。
要掌握好英语,记忆相当数量的词组是必不可少的。

高中英语真题-2014高考英语阅读理解精英练习题(17)及答
高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解精英练习题（17）及答阅读理解E(2012·泸州一诊)Gary Kidd had a pretty good idea that what his 3yearold grands on had found was no rock, but the tooth of a woolly mammoth (猛犸)．That's because he had found one himself nine years ago. Kaleb Kidd was catching some squirrels last Monday near La C rosse when he spotted what looked like an unusual rock.“Grandpa, what's that？” Kaleb asked.He told his grandson it lo oked like the tooth of the extinct (灭绝) woolly mammoth.Next stop was the Mississippi Valley Arch aeology Center at the University of Wisconsin, which proved th at it was, indeed, the tooth of a mammoth.Connie Arzigian, the center's lab director, said it could be 10,00 0 to 30,000 years old.It weighs 2 pounds and measures 15 cent imeters long and 7.6 centimeters wide.The center already has a woolly mammoth tooth in its collection , but it's always fun to see someone discover another one. Arzigian said.“It's wonderful to get an idea of what was here in the pa st，” she said.The latest find is in better shape than the one Gary Kidd brough t up from the bottom of the Mississippi River while clamming (捕蛤蚧) in 1998.That_tooth was watersoaked and had fallen apart, h e was told when he took it to the center.Gary Kidd, 46, said it would be up to Kaleb' s father, Travis, to d ecide what to do with the tooth.For now it is on display at Satori Arts Gallery, much to Kaleb's sadness.“When we dropped it down at the art gallery, he was crying.He didn't want to let it go，” his granddad said.“At first he thought it was just a rock.Now he's all excited.”文章大意：一名3岁的小孩在捕捉松鼠时，发现了一枚猛犸化石。

考查如何回应对方的邀请。

“Not at all.”用来回答感谢，意为“不用谢，不客气”“没关系”；“It’s OK.”意为“没关系，没问题，好的”，用以回答道歉或请求；“I couldn’t agree less.”表示完全不同意对方的观点或看法等，可译为“我一点也不同意”；“You’ll catch it.”表示“你会挨骂的，你会挨揍的”。
由语境可知应选C。
