“Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity，” said the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. I’ve never watched her show, but when a self－made billionaire gives life advice, it’s probably worth listening to.Her point is that blind luck is very rare. You may have to be lucky to find a good job these days but that does not mean you should sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you. If you’re a Chinese，you may already be familiar with the tale of a farmer waiting by a tree stump (树桩) for a rabbit to run out and break its neck.A book written by the UK psychologist Richard Wiseman, called The Luck Factor, argues we can all make ourselves luckier. It’s not about going to a temple to burn some incense (香) in hopes that the gods will give you good fortune；it’s practical advice you can follow each day. Wiseman conducted an experiment as part of his studies. First he separated volunteers into two groups：those who said they were lucky in life and those who said they were not. He gave everyone a newspaper and asked them to look through it to count how many photographs it had inside. On average, the unlucky people took about two minutes to count the photographs while the lucky people took just seconds. Why? On the second page of the newspaper, a command, “Stop counting. There are 43 photographs in this newspaper，” was written in big letters. The unlucky people mostly did not spot the message.It’s easy to compare this situation to a young person looking for jobs in a local paper. They might search so hard for one type of position that they miss an even better opportunity. People who are “lucky”，in fact, keep an open mind and don’t go through t he same routine every day.I first came to China in 2002 when it was considered a rather strange thing to do. Like many foreigners，my plan was to teach English for one year. Seven years later, and still here, I’ve had many great opportunities such as writing for newspapers and magazines. I did not dream these would have been possible. I’ve also never been sick, had an accident, got into a fight or had problems with the police. Coincidence? After reading about Professor Wiseman’s studies I think not.As Wiseman advises, I usually trust my own judgment. Your friends and parents may give you advice based on rational thinking, but it’s important to consider how you feel about each choice you make. Yourfeeling acts as a warning for a potential problem.Finally, try to turn bad luck into good.Even if you do fall down and break a leg, the time spent at home can be used wisely to study English.1. Which of the following proverbs most agrees with the writer’s point? A．Make the best of a bad job.B．Rome was not built in a day.C．All that glitters is not gold.D．A good heart conquers ill fortune.2. What do you know about Oprah Winfrey?A．She became famous through her family background.B．She was very lucky and seldom suffered setbacks in her life. C．She is a British talk show host.D．She became successful by her own effort.3. The writer quoted the Chinese tale of a farmer in order toshow________.A. luck is in your own handB．bad luck can turn into goodC．you should not sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to youD．man can conquer nature4. The underlined word “spot” is the closest in meaningto“________”. A．recognize B．markC．locate D．receive[解题导语] 本文为议论文。

We sometimes want to know where he sleeps at night.A few weeks ago he boarded the bus. A few stops later, a young woman boarded. She swiped (刷) her bus-card, only to find the machine would not accept it.

In the meantime she would have to pay the fare for that day. The woman became confused and distressed. The rest of us just watched, wondering how the problem would be solved. Suddenly the man rose from his seat, dropped a few coins into the fare box.“You’re lucky,”the bus driver said quietly. “He paid for you.” Silence fell ove r the bus. The rest of us had watched the woman’s discomfort, but he felt it. We lawyers, journalists and business people headed downtown to help fix the world.

Hazel Rymer frequently has to struggle through rainforests, climb to the top of mountains, then climb 200 metres into the crater of active volcanoes. But the 38yearold volcanologist does her best to make it sound less alarming than it is. “Driving to work is more risky，” she insists. “And the deepest I go into the crater of a volcano is about 300 metres，” she adds, trying to make it all sound as ordinary as taking thedog for a walk.Hazel has been studying volcanoes for a long time, so it's not surprising that she is used to the danger. Her interest in volcanoes began at school. A teacher gave her a book about Pompeii. “I remember reading about the eruption of Vesuvius and the destruction of the city，” she explains. “The thought of all those people just frozen in time had quite an effect on me and I am still excited by their dangerous beauty today.”Nowadays, volcanoes are getting more and more unpredictable. There have been many changes in sea level caused by global warming and melting ice caps. These have resulted in some dormant volcanoes erupting, so studying them is more dangerous than ever before. Hazel says that although she doesn't take any unnecessary risk, she has had some frightening moments. Her worst experience was on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, when she was slowly surrounded by lava. “I had a choice of walking ten hours to get around the lava flow or just walking across it，” she explains. She chose to pick a path across the cooler rocks in the lava stream. “I guess it was five metres. The flow was 1，000℃， so if you hesitated your boots would begin to melt. It was scary, but it really was a practical decision—there wasn't time to do anything else.”And what about the future? “I haven't been to the volcanoes in Indonesia yet. And I would love to spend some time working in the Antarctic，”she says. “I would also like to know why quiet lava flows erupt from some volcanoes and why other volcanoes go bang.” In other words, Hazel Rymer won't be exchanging her volcanoes for the relative safety of Driving to work just yet.1. Hazel's claim that “Driving to work is more risky” than exploring volcanoes shows that ________.A. people have exaggerated the dangers of volcanoes in the pastB. Hazel does not really understand the dangerous situations she puts herself inC. there are many bad drivers in the place where Hazel livesD. Hazel is being modest and understating the dangers she faces2. When did Hazel first become interested in volcanoes?A. When she was visiting Italy.B. When she was at school.C. When she was twenty.D. When she saw Vesuvius.3. The underlined word “These” (Paragraph 3) refers to ________.A. melting icecapsB. volcanic eruptionsC. changes in sea levelD. higher temperatures4. When Hazel was on Mount Etna she had to ________.A. take a dangerous routeB. take an unnecessary riskC. leave her boots behindD. walk for ten hours around the mountain5．In the future, Hazel wants to ________.A. revisit volcanoes she knowsB. go on holiday to the AntarcticC. find a less dangerous jobD. discover new things about volcanoes(一)【要点综述】本文主要介绍了火山学家Hazel Rymer对火山的一些研究行动。

Eating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.Previous studies have linked high exposure to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风）within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物）were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection A gency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.1.The text mainly discusses the relationship between . A．heart problems and air quality B．heart problems and exercising C．heart problems and smoking D．heart problems and fatty food2.The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means. A．relativelyhigh B．extremely lowC．relativelylow D．extremely high3. What can we learn from the text?A．Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.B．The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.C．Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking,D．Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.4.

Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York—he in computers, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us, " Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton’s foundation(基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer’s home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire, “ Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder. "Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imaginationlibrary. com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts. The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children rubbish, " says Linda. The books—reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists, and Dollywood board members—included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books li ke Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12, 200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of."The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die, “ says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left."1. What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?A. His health problem.B. His love for teaching.C. The influence of his wife.D. The news from the Web.2. What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?A. Give out brochures.B. Do something similar.C. Write books for children.D. Retire from being a teacher.3. According to the text, Dolly Parton is .A. a well-known surgeonB. a mother of a four-year-oldC. a singer born in TennesseeD. a computer programmer4. Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?A. To avoid signing up online.B. To meet Dollywood board members.C. To make sure the books were the newest.D. To see if the books were of good quality.5.

He considers his efforts worthwhile.【参考答案】1—5、 ABCDD社会文化（阅读理解）由 (2013辽宁,D)改编“Indeed,” George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785,“some kind of fly,or bug,had begun to eat the leaves before I left home.”But the father of America was not the father of bug.When Washington wrote that,Englishmen had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century,and Americans had already created lightning-bug (萤火虫).But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language,leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.The American bug could also be a person,referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity.Although fan became the usual term,sports fans used to be called racing bugs,baseball bugs,and the like.Or the bug could be a small machine or object,for example,abug-shaped car.The bug could also be a burglar alarm,from which comes the expression to bug,that is,“to install (安装) an alarm”.Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others’ conversations.Since the 1840s,to bug has long meant “to cheat”,and since th e 1940s it has been annoying.We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design.That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison.In 1878 he explained bugs as “little problems and difficulties” that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful product.In 1889 it was recorded that Edison “had been up the two previous nights discovering‘a bug’ in his invented record player.”1.We learn from Paragraph 1 that .A.Americans had difficulty in learning to use the word bugB.George Washington was the first person to call an insect a bugC.the word bug was still popularly used in England in the nineteenth centuryD.both Englishmen and Americans used the word bug in the eighteenth century2.What does the word “flaw” in the last paragraph probably mean?()A.Explanation.B.Finding.C.Origin.D.Fault.3.The passage is mainly concerned with .A.the misunderstanding of the word bugB.the development of the word bugC.the public views of the word bugD.the special characteristics of the word bug语篇解读:本文为一篇说明文。

Scientists fear rising energy bills may lead to an increase in obesity （肥胖） after discovering a link between poorly-heated homes and higher body -fat．Researchers from the University of Stirling’s Behavioural Science Centre set out to explore claims that warm indoor temperatures have contributed to rising obesity levels in winter．Instead, the team found that people who live in well-heated homes are more likely to have low body mass index （体重指数） levels while those who keep their heating turned down or off tend to be heavier．Dr Michael Daly, behavioral scientist and senior lecturer, said: "We set out to investigate the scientific claims that cooler indoor temperatures help us maintain a healthy weight by pushing our bodies to use up more energy. In fact, the research suggests people may eat less and burn more energy when in a warmer indoor environment．The 13-year study, published in the journal Obesity, involved more than 100,000 adults across England．Researchers found reduced weight levels among people living in homes heated to above 23°C（73F）, which involved about 15,000 of the households studied．Dr Daly said: "As national gas bills continue to rise faster than the rate of inflation, this research suggests the obesity could worsen where heating is turned down below comfortable levels or off for long periods to cut costs．"This is not just about people who live in well-heated homes being in the financial position to afford more expensive low-calorie foods, exercise classes and sporting activities, and therefore finding it easier to maintain a low BMI level．The study took age, sex, social class and other factors into account．"The comfortable temperature of 20°C -23°C is where we feel comfortable in our clothes and are neither hot nor cold．At temperatures above this, we use more energy and we eat less because our appetite is affected．"1. The findings of the research can be described as ___．A．horrible B．surprising C．funny D．encouraging 2.According to the passage, with rising gas bills, people may turn down or off their heating to______.A．stay in shape B．maintain a low BMI level C．save money D．avoid eating more3. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Obesity links to poorly-heated homesB．Well-heated home's contribute to obesityC．Obesity--- A weighty problem in EnglandD．Rising energy bills help maintain a healthy weight参考答案1—3、BCA【2014高考英语梅州市质检试卷】CThe ancient Egyptians appeared to be among the first early civilizations to learn how to grow roses. In 1888, at Hawara in the El Faiyum area of Egypt, two-thousand-year-old roses were found in ancient tombs. The discovery suggested roses were an important part of the complex burial ceremony which took place when an important person died. The roses found in the tombs are thought by modern experts to be the oldest preserved flowers ever found in the world. They must have been cut and dried before flowering so that they would remain undamaged. Over the centuries, the roses had shrunk and became tight balls, but on careful examination it was discovered that the petals (花瓣) themselves were hardly damaged.Egypt’s skill in mass-cultivation（大面积栽培）of roses in early times led to the flowers becoming an important export product. At the height of the Roman Empire, Egypt exported large quantities of roses to the Roman courts. Wealthy Romans loved the beautiful colors and sweet smells of roses. So the Romans attempted to grow their own roses and they eventually mastered the art of mass cultivation. Egypt then decided to concentrate on growing grain instead of roses, so grain soon took over as the number-one agricultural product of Egypt.Roses were appreciated in other early civilizations too, including Greece and Persia. They are a decorative feature on coins, sculpture, and vases dating back thousands of years. There is also evidence that roses were highly valued by the Chinese who believed that the flowers could be used to help treat a wide range of illnesses, from toothache to skin and chest diseases.In the modern world, the rose has not lost its popularity as the “Queen of Flowers” —the name given to it by the Greek poetess Sappho. Even today more roses are sold than any other flower. Modern techniques have enabled people to create ever more beautiful roses. Transportation by air makes it possible to grow roses in countries with favorable climates and sell them within twenty-four hours in profitable markets all over the world. Tons of roses are transported this way every week. Roses from Ecuador, a country in northern South America, can be bought in Holland, even though that country itself has a huge rose-growing business.36. The roses discovered at Hawara in 1888 were ______.A. buried about four thousand years agoB. cut after they floweredC. used to keep the dead body freshD. finely preserved37. Grain replaced roses to become the number-one agricultural product of Egypt because _____.A. the Egyptians showed less interest in rosesB. the competition in rose export became fierceC. the Romans could grow roses for themselvesD. grain was in great demand in the world market38. Paragraph 3 is developed mainly _____.A. by cause and effectB. by order in spaceC. by order in timeD. by examples39. With the example of roses from Ecuador, the author shows ______.A. modern techniques help the cultivation of rosesB. air transport helps the rose trade worldwideC. roses grown in Ecuador are world-famousD. roses are sold more than any other flower40. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Queen of flowersB. History of growing rosesC. Big archeological discoveryD. Rose trade around the world 【参考答案】36-40 D CDBA本文是说明文。

Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes，fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper，when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man，when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?Television has not killed reading, however. Today，newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment．Although some books with hard covers are expensive，many books are printed today as paperbacks(平装本)，which are quite cheap.

落堕市安心阳光实验学校2014高考英阅读理解语一轮（暑假）训练题（10）及答案In business, there’s a speed difference: It's the difference between how important a firms leaders say speed is to their competitive (竞争的) strategy（策略）and how fast the company actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. Companies fearful or losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track, What’s more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up “improved their top and bottom lines ,averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-years period.How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better ? They thought differently about what “slower “and “faster”mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly ) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value ). Simply increasing the speed of production, for example , may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference . But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.In our study, high performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary . They became more open to idea and discussion. They encouraged new ways of thinking. And they allowed time to look and learn. By contrast (相比而言). Performance suffered at firms that moved falt all the among their employer , and had little time thinking about changes.Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership . Teams that regularly take time to get things right , rather than plough ahead full bore , are more successful in meeting their business goals . That kind of strategy must come from the top.57 . What does the underlined part “gain an edge ”in Paragraph 2 mean ?A. Increase the speed.B. Get an advantage.C. Reach the limit.D. Set a goal58. The underlined part “the laws of business physics” in Paragraph3 means ___________.A. spending more time and performing worse.B. spending more time and performing betterC. spending less time and performing worseD. spending less time and performing better59. What can we learn from the text?A. how fast a firm moves depends on how big it is.B. how competitive a firm is depends on what it produces.C. Firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes.D. Firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit.60. Where could be the last title for the text?A. Improve quality? Serve better.B. Deliver value? Plough ahead.C. Reduce time? Move faster.D. Need speed? Slow down.【答案】BDCD*************************************************************结束.（201*·全国II）ASince 1984, Philadelphia has been cleaning up its act.

(2021·)Life can be so wonderful，full of adventure and joy.It can also be full of challenges，setbacks(挫折) and heartbreaks.Whatever our circumstances，we generally still have dreams，hopes and desires—that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones.Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem，because when we go to change the way we do things，up come the old patterns and pitfalls(陷阱) that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.This tension between what we feel we can have and what we're seemingly able to have is the niggling(烦人的) suffering，the anxiety we feel.This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up.But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more.The intelligence behind that knowing is us—the real us.It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities.If you drop that，you begin to feel a little “dead〞inside because you're dropping “you〞．So，if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck，how do we break these patterns?Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time.This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today's challenges.While，deep down，we know we can do it，our mind—or the minds of those close to us—usually says we can't.That isn't a reason to stop; it's just the mind，that little man or woman on your shoulder，trying to talk you out of something again.It has done it many times before.It's all about starting simple and doing it now.Decide and act before overthinking.When you do this you may feel a little，or large，release_from_the_jail_of_your_mind and you'll be on your way.文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，作者介绍了在我们想要放弃的时候改变这种形式的一种方法就是重新选择目的并且迅速做出决定。

People in communities have slowly been pushed apart through the years, mostly becausepeople simply aren’t taking the time to say a simple “ hello. ” After considering this phenomenon, I decided I was going to 1 the way I was doing things.My 2 came one morning when I was in the community library.

However, when I had to 4 because I stupidly forgot my book, I noticed she had just finished packing them up by herself.

In 1888, at Hawara in the El Faiyum area of Egypt, two-thousand-year-old roses were found in ancient tombs. The discovery suggested roses were an important part of the complex burial ceremony which took place when an important person died. The roses found in the tombs are thought by modern experts to be the oldest preserved flowers ever found in the world. They must have been cut and dried before flowering so that they would remain undamaged. Over the centuries, the roses had shrunk and became tight balls, but on careful examination it was discovered that the petals (花瓣) themselves were hardly damaged.Egypt’s skill in mass-cultivation（大面积栽培）of roses in early times led to the flowers becoming an important export product. At the height of the Roman Empire, Egypt exported large quantities of roses to the Roman courts. Wealthy Romans loved the beautiful colors and sweet smells of roses. So the Romans attempted to grow their own roses and they eventually mastered the art of mass cultivation. Egypt then decided to concentrate on growing grain instead of roses, so grain soon took over as the number-one agricultural product of Egypt.Roses were appreciated in other early civilizations too, including Greece and Persia. They are a decorative feature on coins, sculpture, and vases dating back thousands of years. There is also evidence that roses were highly valued by the Chinese who believed that the flowers could be used to help treat a wide range of illnesses, from toothache to skin and chest diseases.In the modern world, the rose has not lost its popularity as the “Queen of Flowers” — thename given to it by the Greek poetess Sappho. Even today more roses are sold than any other flower. Modern techniques have enabled people to create ever more beautiful roses. Transportation by air makes it possible to grow roses in countries with favorable climates and sell them within twenty-four hours in profitable markets all over the world. Tons of roses are transported this way every week. Roses from Ecuador, a country in northern South America, can be bought in Holland, even though that country itself has a huge rose-growing business.36.
