营口市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空二轮精品训练（28）含答案Teddy Bears have been a very popular children’s toy for many years. Most adults can remember their first stuffed（填充玩具）bear, and over the decades these toys have become nearly a symbol of their childhood. However, children are not the only ones with whom these toys have become popular, as many adults make it a habit to collect these toys as well.The Teddy Bear first became popular during the early 20th century and was associated with then President Theodore Roosevelt. The story can date back to a hunting trip that President Roosevelt had taken where he was invited to be the one to shoot a black bear that had been tied to a tree. Being a crazy outdoors lover and hunter, Roosevelt refused to kill the animal because he believed that shooting the helpless bear was unsportsmanlike and wrong. This story quickly spread through newspapers across the country, and in the end inspired the introduction of a stuffed toy called “Teddy’s bear”.These toys became popular soon after first introduced, and within ten years, they were being produced by dozens of companies around the world. Within a generation, these stuffed bears were “the”toy to have, and have always been within children’s toy boxes ever since.They are most often mass-produced in factories in order to keep up with the high demand. However, there are still companies that take great pride in their handmade designs; and while handmade teddy bears are often preferred, they are also generally more expensive than their mass-produced ones.Today, these bears and other similar toys generate well over a billion dollars a year in profits for the companies that make them. Walk through just about any toy store in America and you will find dozens of different teddy bears lining the shelves.68. According to the passage, we can know President Roosevelt ______.A. didn’t like huntingB. enjoy being specialC. was not brave enoughD. was fair and respectable69. Compared with mass-produced teddy bears, the handmade ones ______.A. don’t sell wellB. are of high qualityC. are more expensiveD. are preferred by adults70. From the last paragraph, the writer intends to show ______.A. teddy bears are very popularB. toys are loved by many companiesC. producing toys can earn more moneyD. teddy bears are also enjoyed by adults71. What is the passage mainly about?A. History of the Teddy Bear.B. A popular toy — Teddy Bear.C. Who made the first toy bear?D. Profits Teddy Bear have made.**************************************************************结束The World Health Organization says obesity rates are rising in Pacific island countries. So, too, are health problems linked to being overweight.The WHO says a major reason for the rising obesity rates is an increase in imported foods. It says many Pacific islanders have replaced their traditional diets of vegetables and fruits with imported processed foods.Dr.Temu Waqanivalu is with the World Health Organization’s South Pacific office in Suva, Fiji.He says many of the imported products lack nutritional value.Temu Waqanivalu said: “In some of the places, you’d be amazed to see how a bottle of Coke is cheaper than a bottle of water. I think that represents the kind of off environment we’ve created that doesn’t really encourage or make lifestyle choices an easy choi ce for the population.”And a lack of physical activity among many Pacific islanders only adds to the obesity problem.The WHO says more than 50 percent of the population is overweight in at least ten Pacific island countries. The rate is as high as 80 percent among women in the territory（领地）of American Samoa. Fiji had the lowest obesity rate at 30 percent.In all, almost ten million people live in Pacific island countries. The WHO estimates that about 40 percent of them have health disorders related to diet and nutrition.Diabetes（糖尿病）rates are among the highest in the world. Forty-seven percent of the people in American Samoa have diabetes. So do 44 percent of the people in Tokelau, a territory of New Zealand.By comparison, the diabetes rate is 13 percent in the United States, a country that has its own problems with rising obesity.Officials also note an increase in nutritional problems like anemia and not enough vitamin A in the diets of Pacific islanders. Dr. Waqanivalu says treating conditions related to obesity and diet puts pressure on limited health resources and budgets.72. The main reason why obesity rates are rising in many Pacific islanders is ________.A. the change of societyB. the change of eating habitsC. the change of life styleD. lack of exercise73. Imported products lack nutritional value but people love to buy them because they are ____.A. cheapB. popularC. tastyD. convenient to get74. How many people living in Pacific island countries have health disorders?A. 1 million.B. 4 million.C. 6 million.D. 10 million.75. The percentage of diabetes rates in American Samoa is ________.A. optimisticB. steadyC. worryingD. low参考答案完形填空Words：314 难度系数：★★★建议用时：16分钟Sometimes，when Tom Krattenmaker and his 16yearold daughter，Holland，listen to rock music together and talk about pop culture，they both enjoy these __1__.Mr.Krattenmaker，from Pennsylvania，USA, __2__ his relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“I would __3__ have said to my mom，‘Hey，this new album(专辑) is really great—how do you __4__ it？’” he said，“There was just a complete gap in sensibility (情感) and __5__.”__6__ was not the only gap.From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations，earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to be in __7__ orbits.Today，the generation gap has not __8__，but it is becoming smaller in many families，according to reports.Parents today are more __9__ in appearance and attitudes.They also wear blue jeans and they have __10__ hair styles.Those who like sports also enjoy snowboarding and rock climbing with their children.The old authoritarian (权威主义的) method is giving __11__ to a more equal one.Parents will take the “Come，let us __12__ together.” attitude __13__“Because I said so，tha t’s why.”The __14__ can be a rewarding closeness among family members.__15__that would have been awkward (尴尬的) on subjects __16__ sex and drugs now are comfortable and common between Western parents and children.Parents realize that children may have important thoughts or feelings that adults need to know.__17__ greeting cards today carry the message，“To my mother，my best friend.”Family experts，however，worry that the new __18__ can also have downsides (不利方面) —decreasing __19__ for parents as everyone has a say in the family and selfindulgence (任性) of the children as the __20__ moves to them.【解题导语】父母与孩子之间的代沟随着社会的发展正逐渐缩小，本文强调了父母与孩子相互沟通、相互尊重的重要性。

辽宁省营口市高考英语二轮阅读理解、完形填空精品训练(27)

营口市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空二轮精品训练（27）含答案AMost of my earliest childhood memories are ofthe beach —in the hot sun, building sandcastles,burying Dad in the sand.Now the coast has a pleasant and relaxingattraction beyond words. I look forward to a windy cliff-top walk or a rainy day rock-picking just as much as those rare moments when I get to a short sleep in the sun. But there’s nothing more pleasurable than turning up at a beach to find it deserted.These are my favourite secret beaches — ones either not well known or take a bit of effort to get to. Most of those listed scored highly in the Marine Conservation Society Good Beach Guide 2009; the others are too secret even for them.Sennen Clove is just a mile northeast of Land’s End, the westernmost point of mainland England. It’s a beautiful spot, with white sands, deep green sea and amazing sunsets over the Isles (群岛) of Scilly, 28 miles away.The west-facing beach is popular with surfers, with bigger waves and winds often found at the Gwenver end. There’s a beach restaurant with good views of the bay and the sunsets.The smallest of Isles of Scilly, Bryher is a mile long, half a mile wide — and a natural wilderness of unbelievable scenery. Walk along the narrow sandy roads to the eastern seaboard and you come to two quiet beaches.Green Bay has views over to the palm trees of Tresco’s Abbey Gardens, and a little further south is Rushy Bay, a beautiful beach facing the deserted island of Samson.On Bryher, farm shops sell locally grown produce, and they trust you to leave the money in the pot. It’s that kind of place.56. The best title for this passage is ________.A. The Beautiful British IslesB. Secret Beaches on theBritish IslesC. The Most Pleasurable Place in BritainD. My Experience of Searching Beaches57. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. The author is a tourist guide in a tourist agency.B. The author likes walking on a rainy cliff-top most.C. The author wrote the article to advertise for the beaches.D. The author loves beaches that are not known to most people.58. Which of the following maps can correctly describe the geography position?(LE=Land’s End SC=Sennen Cove IS=the Isles of Scilly)59. In the author’s view, farmers on Bryher are ________.A. sincereB. selfishC. courageousD. mean**************************************************************结束Today, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural (乡下的) areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come tofind work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby, too. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see many huge skyscrapers (摩天大楼) and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.60. The underlined phrase “a residential area” means an area ________.A. where people can buy thingsB. which is near a city centerC. where people can do businessD. which is suitable for living in61. Why do people move to live in cities or towns?A. Because they can live more comfortably there.B. Because they mainly want to find work there.C. Because they are sure of having a b etter life there.D. Bec ause they like noisy life better than peaceful life.62. What can we know about the business district?A. Big companies usually have their main offices in the business district.B. People usually work and live in the skyscrapers in the cities.C. A business district usually lies not far away from the city center downtown.D. It’s reasonable for a business district without a park for children to play in.63. We can infer that this movement from rural to urban areas ________.A. has been going on for more than 2,000 yearsB. will surely continue in the futureC. may not continue in the futureD. has now stopped already********************************************************结束In-line skating（滚轴溜冰）is a fun sport that everyone can enjoy. Follow these safety tips to keep skating safe and fun.Step 1: Gear up!Even before you put on your skates, put on all your safety gear（护具）.Step 2: Buckle up!Strap（绑紧）on your skates. Make sure they fit well and are snugly（紧贴）around your ankles. This helps your ankles stay strong and straight.Step 3: Fall down!You probably do not usually try to fall. But it is good to practice falling on skates. Fall forward onto your knee pads. Put out your hands and let your wrist guards hit the ground. See? Are you surprised that it doesn’t hurt?Practice falling until it is easy to fall forward and get up again. If you are not afraid to fall, you will try new things. Knowing how to fall will help you be a better skater and find your balance. When you can stay balanced, you won’t fall as much.Step 4: Stop!Make sure you can stop on your skates. The quickest and safest is probably the brake stop. The brake is usually on the back of the right skate.The brake stop:Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Let your right skate rolla little forward. Bend your knees as if you are sitting down. Then press your right heel down hard. This will make your brake pad drag on the ground until you stop. The T stop:Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Then turn your right foot out so the toes are pointing to your right. Drag your right skate. Let the wheels drag on the ground until you come to a stop.Another way to stop is to run or jump onto the grass.Step 5: Roll around!Find a flat, smooth place to practice. Do not skate in streets. Parks and playgrounds are good places to practice. Look for “No skating” signs to make sure you can skate there.64. According to the article, which of these steps are most important for a new skater?A. Learn to fall and stop safely.B. Find a class and skate fast.C. Relax and have fun.D. Buy expensive gear and skates.65. In the step right after “Buckle up!” you should practice how to _____________.A. skate fastB. brakeC. fall safelyD. put on gear66. To begin a brake stop, you should let your right skate roll forward, bend your knees, and ___.A. turn your footB. press your right heel downC. put your wrists out in frontD. tighten your skates67. How is the passage organized?A. It tells stories about skating.B. It gives descriptions of skates.C. It uses a question-and-answer form.D. It gives step-by-step instructions.***********************************************************结束.完形填空Words：272 难度系数：★★★建议用时：16分钟(2010·高考大纲全国卷Ⅰ)It was a busy morning，about 8∶30，when an elderly gentleman in his 80s came to the hospital.I heard him saying to the nurse that he was in a hurry for an appointment (约会) at 9∶30.The nurse had him take a__1__in the waiting area，__2__ him it would be at least 40 minutes __3__someone would be able to see him.I saw him__4__his watch and decided，since I was__5__busy—my patient didn’t __6__at the appointed hour，I would examine his wound.While taking care of his wound，I asked him if he had another doctor’s appointment.The gentleman said no and told me that he__7__to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his__8__.He told me that she had been __9__for a while and that she had a special disease.I asked if she would be __10__if he was a bit late.He replied that she__11__knew who he was，that she had not been able to__12__ him for five years now.I was__13__，and asked him，“And you__14__go every morning，even though she doesn’t know who you are？”He smiled and said，“She doesn’t know me，but I know who she is.” I had to hold back__15__as he left.Now I__16__that in marriages，true love is__17__of all that is.The happiest people don’t__18__have the best of everything；they just__19__the best of everything they have.__20__isn’t about how to live through the storm，but how to dance in the rain.1.

辽宁省营口市2014高考英语二轮阅读理解、完形填空精品训练(8)

营口市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空二轮精品训练〔8〕含答案With alarming regularity, we read about oil tankers having accidents near land and the terrible consequences of the oil spills 〔泄露〕 on people, nature, and the environment．Millions of dollars have been used in developing special chemicals to help dismiss the spills and to clean up the animals, beaches, and land spoiled by the oil．Unfortunately, when many of these chemicals are used, more damage is caused to the environment, especially to lives in the sea．Of all of today's environmental disasters, an oil spill may actually be one of the least serious．Although oil is poisonous, it is a natural material．In the end, it breaks down naturally．There are, of course, long-term effects, but it is usually more serious in the short term．Nature by itself works better than chemical materials, but when there is a spill we demand that governments act immediately with as much hi-tech knowledge as possible．In 1967 the tanker Torrey Canyon sank off the Scilly Isles near the coast of England and spilled 120,000 tons of oil into the ocean．If you go there today, you will find it hard to see any sign that it ever happened．Governments seem to accept the risk of transporting millions of tons of oil by ship every day so that we can fill up our cars and drive around and cause even more environmental damage．Interestingly, the biggest companies in the world produce cars, and the next biggest supply the gasoline to make them run．We should be thinking more about reducing our dependence on oil．Governments should be encouraging research into new technologies, such as cars run by solar power 〔太阳能〕 , electricity, hydrogen, and so on．Much of this research has, in the past, been held back by the oil, gas, and coal．If the world's millions of cars were 10% more efficient 〔高效的〕—and the industry could easily produce cars at least twice as efficient we would need many fewer tankerscrossing the oceans each year．If this happened, the risks of oil spills would be reduced, and the air we breathe would be cleaner and fresher, too．49．What is the passage mainly talking about?A．Oil spills pollution． B．What oil pollution is．C．Oil tanker accidents. D．How to reduce oil pollution.50．How does the author support the idea that oil spills are not as serious as people believe?A．By giving a description． B．By making an argument．C．By giving an example． D．By drawing a diagram．51．What does the underlined word "risk" in Paragraph 5 refer to?A．Transportation depending more on oil．B．Poisonous oil breaking down naturally．C．Millions of tons of oil spilling into the sea．D．More environmental damage being caused．52．Which suggestion is made for reducing oil tank accidents according to the passage?A．We should build safer tankers in the near future．B．We should develop new technologies to cut oil use．C．Tankers should not be allowed to sail near the coastlines．D．Countries should build more oil pipelines under the sea．参考答案49～52 ACDB***********************************************************完毕Violinprodigies (神童), I learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regions. Most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the world’s greatest violinists the reason for this phenomenon. “It is very clear,〞he told me. “They were allJews and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world. They were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage.〞 As a result,every Jewish parent’s dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West.Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field tonurture(培育) talent. Nowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. “In Japan, a most competitive society, with stronger discipline than ours,〞 says Isaac Stern, children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. When Western music came to Japan after World War II, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well. The Koreans and Chinese as we know, are just as highly motivated as the Japanese.Th at’s a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. Next to hard work, biological inheritance〔遗传〕 plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. J. S. Bach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music.53. Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music schoolbecause ________.A. it would allow them access to a better life in the WestB. Jewish children are born with excellent musical talentC. they wanted their children to enter into the professional fieldD. it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country54. Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that ________.A. are highly motivated in the education of musicB. treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full developmentC. encourage people to compete with each otherD. promise talented children high positions55. Which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigies accordingto the passage?A. a natural gift.B. extensive knowledge of music.C. very early training.D. a prejudice-free society.56. Which of the following titles best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A. Jewish Contribution to MusicB. Training of Musicians in the WorldC. Music and SocietyD. The Making of Music Prodigies参考答案53～56 ABAD****************************************************完毕I promised Michael I wouldn’t mention this until the season was over．Now l think it's time．Early last season, I wrote a column about an art of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the stadium．After it ran，I got a call from a man in the western suburbs．He said，“I read what you wrote about Jordan．but I thought I should tell you another thing I saw．〞Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people call you up to say that the person is not so nice.A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Had Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that poor and dirty neighborhood?"Not two boys," Jordan said. "But four."And he named them. He said four names. And what did they talk about?"Everything,〞Jordan said. " Anything. I’ve asked to see their grades so that I can check to see if they're paying attention to their study. If it turns out that one or two of them may need teaching, I make sure they get it."It's just one more part of Michael Jordan's life，one more thing that no one knows about, and one more thing Jordan does fight for. The NBA season is over now, and those boys have their memories. So do J! When the expert reviewers begin to turn against Jordan as they surely will, I'll think about those boys under the streetlight, waiting for the man they know to come. For someone they can depend on.57. The writer wrote this story about Jordan and his young friends because _______A. he thought highly of Jordan's deedsB. he hated to see Jordan do something badC. he believed it was time to help the disabledD. he felt sure he needn't keep the promise then58. A man in the western suburbs made a call to_______A. know why Jordan stopped in a bad areaB. get a chance to become famous himselfC. let the writer know Jordan was not that niceD. offer an example to show how Jordan helped others59. Jordan talked with the boys because he _______.A. needed their supportB. had promised to do soC. liked to teach them to play basketballD. wanted to make sure they all studied well60. The text implies that Jordan is _______.A. an excellent basketball playerB. good at dealing with problems of lifeC. always ready to make friends with young peopleD. willing to do whatever he can for the good of society参考答案 57～60 ACDD******************************************************完毕维A 完形填空(每题1.5分，总分为30分)选材相似度：★★★设题相似度：★★★难度系数：★★★★Wranglers and StranglersYears ago there was a group of brilliant young men at the University of Wisconsin，who seemed to have amazing creative __1__ talent.They were wouldbe poets，novelists，and essayists.They were extraordinary in their __2__ to put the English language toits best use.These promising young men __3__ regularly to read and critique (评论) each other's work.And critique it they did!These men were merciless with one another.They __4__ the minutest literary expression into a hundred pieces.They were heartless，tough，even mean in their __5__.The sessions became such areas of literary criticism that the __6__ of this special club called themselves the “Stranglers (扼杀者)〞．In order to __7__，the women of literary talent in the university __8__ to start a club of their own，one comparable to the Stranglers.They __9__ themselves the “Wranglers (争论者)〞．They，too，read their __10__ one another.But there was one great difference.The criticism was much softer，more __11__，more encouraging.Sometimes，there was almost no criticism at all.Every effort，even the weakest one，was __12__.Twenty years later an alumnus of the university was making an exhaustive __13__ of his classmates' careers when he __14__ a vast difference in the literary accomplishments of the Stranglers as opposed to the Wranglers.Of all the __15__ young men in the Stranglers，no one had made a significant literary __16__ of any kind.From the Wranglers had come six or more successful __17__，some of national renown such as Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings，who wrote TheYearling.Talent between the two？Probably the same.Level of __18__？Not much difference.But the Stranglers were strangled，while the Wranglers were determined to give each other a(an) __19__.The Stranglers __20__ an atmosphere of argument and selfdoubt.The Wranglers highlighted the be st，not the worst.【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议类的文章。

营口市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空二轮精品训练〔14〕含答案1. The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before. Changes for the better, changes for the worse, changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that put man in danger. Many things caused the changes, but, in my opinion, the most important was the progress in science.2. Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views. It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe. It has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development. Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life.3. The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings; in pure science—a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning; in applied science--- a more reasonable sharing of material benefits, and better protection of the environment.4. Sadly, however, there is another side to the picture. The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind. The application of science and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet. We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons. Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War, the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race, as well as of many kinds of animals.5. William Shakespeare said, “The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.〞 The above brief review the application of only one part of human activities—science seems to prove what Shakespeare said. But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good? Are we biologically programmed for war?49. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?A. 1B. 12 2 33 4 45 5C. 1D. 12 3 4 2 3 4 5550. From the fourth paragraph, we can infer that ______.A. a great many nuclear weapons were actually used for warB. a large number of nuclear weapons should have been used for warC. the author is doubtful about the ruin of human beings by nuclear warD. the author is anxious about the huge number of nuclear weapons on the earth51. Th e underlined word “mingled〞 most probably means______A. simpleB. mixedC. sadD. happy52. What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write?A. Further application of science to war.B. More reading of William Shakespeare.C. Proper use of science in the new century.D. Effective ways to separate the good from the ill.参考答案49-52 ADBD****************************************************完毕Not even three years ago, the Treo 650 smart phone looked revolutionary. But its latest successor, the Treo 755p Palm was made public two weeks ago, feels more like a relic.T he Treo’s basic concept—uniting a cellphone, hand-held organizer, miniaturized keyboard, touch-sensitive screen, Web and e-mail access and media playback in one device---makes sense. But while competitors have advanced, Palm has been napping on the train tracks.The new Treo 755p gets online faster than last year’s model. Its basic design features few changes from the 2004 version; its dimensions almost match those of the 2003 edition. And its operating system and software for desktop synchronization received their last major updates in 2002.Over that same period of time, almost every other hand-held device---Windows Mobile smart phones, Black Berrys, iPods and even plain old cellphones ---has seen major upgrades in capability and notable shrinkage in size.The Treo 755p(available form Sprint for $280 after a $100 mail-in rebate and with a two-year contract) only cements Palm’s st atus as the sick man of the smart phone business. After wasting most of this decade on pointless reorganizations and a disastrous spinoff of its software-development group, this company appears to have reached a state of creative bankruptcy.As a basic o rganizer, the 755p remains pleasant to use. It’s like a second brain that remembers details that might otherwise slip your mind. It can pluck useful bits of data off the Internet as needed. It can also run thousands of useful programs,many free, which enhance its utility and entertainment value.But you could say the same, basically, of its immensely popular predecessors. This new model’s main selling point--- a cellular Internet connection that runs as fast as most entry-level home broadband connections and can connect with a Bluetooth-equipped computer---already debuted on last year’s Treo 700p.53. What’s the author’s opinion about the Treo 650?A. NegativeB. PositiveC. CriticalD. Depressive54. What’s the feature of Treo 755p?A. It’s a multi-function device.B. It has a touch-sensitive screenC. It can be used to send e-mailsD. It is a cellphone.55. What can we infer from the 4th paragraph?A. Windows Mobile smart phones have upgrades in capability.B. The Treo has little progress compared with other hand-held device.C. Black Berrys have the best capability compared with others.D. IPods are the smallest size and the best capability.56. Which of the following is not the advantage the 755p has?A. It can help us remember some details.B. It can store information form the Internet.C. It can be used to run some programmes.D. It has a great improvement in size.参考答案 53-56 BABD*************************************************完毕EM Media was created in 2001 to be the Regional Screen Agency (RSA) for the East Midlands.

But this time I had borrowed a bicycle from a friend of mine. I didn’t know why, but once I was on my own bicycle, a kind of free feeling flooded through me. The faster I rode, the faster I wanted to go! Far ahead, I rode as if my life depended on it, head down, hands grasping the handbars. I meant to get to Jinghai Bar as fast as I could....Oh! My hands! Don’t come any closer... . Don’t touch me! That poor doctor just couldn’t get my gloves off. Each time he took a step towards me, I broke into painful shouting. Much later, Idiscovered that I had crashed heavily with another bicycle, and I hadn’t spoken one word of sense for at least three hours! After some time, my mother arrived at the hospital, her face as white as a sheet, and gave me a hug, only then did the doctor begin to stitch(缝合) my head wound, not only did he merrily cut off a long lock of my hair, but used no anaesthetic(麻药) either!

营口市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空二轮精品训练〔13〕含答案AYesterday’s paper had a short article about the Coming-of-Age ceremony in a large city in Japan. According to the article, the mayor of the city formally apologized to an enraged professor who delivered a speech at the ceremony that was all but ignored by 20-year-olds in the city.The officials prepared 7,000 seats in a gymnasium where the ceremony was held for the 17,000 twenty-year-olds residing in the city. But most of the seats were empty during the speech. And many of the 20-year-olds who did show up ignored the professor and spoke among themselves or talked on their mobile phones. Some even made a ruckus outside the gymnasium.One 20-year-old who attended the ceremony said youngsters came to the ceremony not to listen to the speech but to see their classmates. The mayor criticized the young generation at a news conference on Tuesday, saying such behavior “is symbolic of the postwar era which failed to nurture healthy character and social intelligence.〞 Person ally, I feel people shouldn’t generalize the whole generation or the whole era when he criticizes something. But it is also true that the generation gap is getting bigger and bigger regarding the ceremony of Coming-of-Age Day. So far this ceremony has been held with citizens’ tax money. Many older generations understand this festival as an entrance ceremony of adults’ world which requires maturity including responsibility, patience, and cooperativeness. Older people tend to be “educational〞 to younger ones, while younger people tend to feel they finally obtain a right to behave freely because they are now adults. Though, ironically, young people have to ask their parents to buy them new clothes for the ceremony.It is about time to change the way we celebrate this festival, I think. The idea of blessing new 20-year-olds is not so bad. But there seems to be some other ways to celebrate more properly. The present way seems to me a little superficial and materialistic. It can provide solutionless arguments between different generations,instead of friendships and respects. Instead of eternally complaining about the young’s behavior at the ceremonies, people should consider how they can make their ceremonies worthier, I feel.41. When the professor was giving a speech the 20-year-olds are not ______.A. talking with each otherB. chatting on their mobile phonesC. talking with the professorD. making ruckus outside42. According to the author,______.A. the festival is an entrance ceremony of adult’s world which requiresmaturity including responsibility, patience, and cooperativenessB. the younger tend to obtain a right to behave freely because they are now adultsC. young people have to ask their parents to buy them new clothes for the ceremonyD.it’s time to end complaining about the young’s behavior at the ceremonies,and people should consider how to make their ceremonies worthier43. What’s the best title for the article?A. There Are Solutionless Argument Between Different GenerationsB. Coming-of-Age Ceremony Should Be Much WorthierC. Old People Should Be Educational to Young PeopleD. The Younger Ones’ Behavior参考答案41-43CDB****************************************************完毕“Soon, you’re going to have to move out!〞 cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the frontdoor.Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold. First, I have to find the red ones, among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. Second, I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I pick tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.Here I am faced with a painful small decision. To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about that tomorrow.44. What are the requirements for the healthy growth of roses?A. A lot of care and the right light.B. Frequent pruning and fertilizing.C. Tomato plants grown alongside.D. Cages placed around the roots.45. The writer planted the tomato because_______A. it cost only $1.25B. the soil were just right for itC. there was room for it in the gardenD. the roses’ branches needed to be covered46. This year the writer’s roses were ______A. removed from the rose bedB. picked along with the tomatoesC. mostly damaged by too much sunlightD. largely hidden under the tomato plant47. By saying “the prize so dearly won〞 in paragraph 5, the writer wants to ______A. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoesB. show the hardship of growing the rosesC. express her liking for the rosesD. express her care for the tomatoes48. In the situation described in the text, one good thing is that ______A. the roses cost the writer little moneyB. the writer has a daily harvest of tomatoesC. someone will help the writer make the decisionD. the writer can now enjoy both the roses and tomatoes参考答案44-48 ACDAB****************************************************完毕完形填空During recent years we have heard much about “race〞:how this racedoes certain things and that race believes certain things and soon.

营口市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空二轮精品训练〔7〕含答案AFor centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions．People who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killer．For example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer．He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someone’s life as nothing．Cold can affect other parts of the body．The expression “get cold feet〞 has nothing to do with cold or your feet．The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do．For example, you agree to be president of an organization．But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, and all the work of the organization will be your responsibility．You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.The expression “give someone the cold shoulder〞probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face．You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you．Or, to someone who has lied about you to others．A cold fish is not a fish．It is a person．But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth．A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone．Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted．Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy．Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their lovers．Out in the cold means not getting something that everybody else got．A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise---he was left out in the cold．And it is not a pleasant place to be．41．When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a distant way, you may express by “_________〞．A．I give him the cold shoulder B．I think he is a cold-blooded manC．I think he is a cold fish D．I’m likely to get cold feet42．If Sue shows absolutely no reaction to those awful pictures of starving children in Africa, you will say _________．A．she is a cold-blooded killer B．she gets cold feetC．she is a cold fish D．she is out in the cold43．We can use the expression “__________〞 to describe a man who abandons or hurts his lover without mercy．A．cold-bloodedB．cold shoulder C．cold feetD．cold-hearted44．The topic of this passage is about _________．A．the relationship between cold and our bodyB．some expressions about friendshipC．some expressions connected with coldD．how cold weather comes into being参考答案41～44 ACDC****************************************************完毕“Linda, if beating yourself up were an Olympic sport, you’d win a gold medal!〞Annabel, my close friend, stunned me with that frank observation after I told her how I had mishandled a situation with a student in a third-grade class where I was substituting.〔代课〕“I should never have let him go to the boy’s room without a pass! It was my fault he got into trouble with the hall monitor! I’m so stupid!〞My friend burst out laughing, an d then made her “Olympic〞 comment. After a brief period of reflection〔沉思〕 I had to admit that she was right. I did put myself down an awful lot. Why, just during the previous day I had called myself “a slob〞 for having some papers spread out on my desk, “u gly〞 when I left the house without makeup and “an idiot〞 when I left the house for an emergency substitute job without my emergency lesson plan.In a more reflective tone, Annabel said, “I once took a workshop at church where the woman in charge had us list all the things we say about ourselves.〞“How many did you have on your list?〞 I asked.“Fifteen,〞she confessed. “But then the teacher said, ‘Now turn to the person next to you and say all the items on your list as if you were speaking to that person!’ 〞My jaw dropped. “What did you do?〞“Nothing. Nobody did. We all just sat there, until I said, ‘I could never say these things to anyone else!’ 〞“And our teacher replied, ‘Well, if you can’t say them to anyone else, then don’t ever say them to yourself!’ 〞My friend had a point. I would never insult a child of God---and I’m God’s child, too!God, today let me be as kind to myself as I would be to another of Your children.45. What does Annabel mean by the first sentence of the passage?A. The writer is a good athlete.B. The writer scolds herself too much.C. She is encouraging the writer.D. A gold medal is not a big deal.46. What does the writer intend to tell us through the second and third paragraphs?A. She has low self-esteem over some small things.B. She often makes serious mistakes in daily life.C. She is a third-grade teacher.D. She cares too much about her appearance.47. We can infer that the underlined word “slob〞 might be _____.A. something untidyB. someone dangerousC. something dirtyD. someone lazy48. What does the writer mean by the last sentence of the passage?A. She is ready to turn to God for help.B. She will be kind to all children.C. She won’t insult herself as well as others.D. She is wi lling to be a child of God.参考答案45～48 BADC**********************************************************完毕完形填空(每题1.5分，总分为30分)选材相似度：★★★★设题相似度：★★★难度系数：★★★★Amanda took whatever pills she could get，largely because she was finding life hard to take.“Ther e were a lot of __1__，〞 she says.She had just found out that her parents were splitting.It took her __2__—and she was __3__.“I woke up one morning，and they told me.〞On a few __4__ during her two years of going to parties.“My heart would race so fast it felt like it was going to __5__.I felt weak and confused sometimes and __6__ passed out several times，〞she recalls.“But I picked up from the ground __7__ I had a lot of pride in my drinking and drugging.I was really __8__ about it and proud of the fact that I could take more than a lot of people.I could come home and have a __9__ with my parents.〞Finally，__10__，things got out of control.“I couldn't go a day without taking something，〞 she __11__，“and after a while，the pills __12__ my stomach；it hurt all the time，and I hardly ate.Finally，I couldn't __13__ it any more.I went to my parents and told them I needed help.〞Amanda entered a __14__ program and has been calm since her release last January.“Detox was the __15__ four days of my entire life，〞she says.“I was throwing up all the __16__ and had the shakes.〞She doesn't __17__ drugs.“I'm so hurt from this，〞 says Amanda，who has ulcers and damaged kidneys from the drugs and alcohol.“I have to __18__ daily to stay calm.But in some ways，I feel lucky I __19__ it，and I'm out of it now.〞Amanda wrote a song called “Goodnight to the Moonlight.〞 Amanda says，“It's about how it feels to be taking drugs and alcohol，how it __20__，how it makes you feel like you're losing yourself.〞Notes：①detox n．戒瘾②ulcer n．溃疡③kidney n．肾脏【语篇解读】 Amanda因为吸毒导致身体出现各种不适，于是她到戒毒中心参加治疗。

营口市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空二轮精品训练〔49〕含答案AIn 1835, a British astronomer called Sir John Herschel built a giant telescope in a remote area of Sauth Africa．He wanted to take advantage of the clear air in that region to observe parts of the southern sky not visible in the northern hemisphere 〔半球〕．In August of that year, an article appeared in the New York Sun with the following headline: GREAT ASTRONOMICAL DISCOVERIES MADE BY SIR JOHN HER- SCHEL 〔FROM THE EDINBURGH JOURNAL OF SCIENCE〕 The Sbn reported that Herschel had discovered life on the moon—his telescope being sopowerful that he could observe the Moon's surface "as if he Were standing on it"．More articles followed, with news that Herschel had been able to see the Moon's craters, rivers, vegetation and animals—creatures that bore a strong resemblance to antelopes, goats and pelicans on the Earth．In the final installment, it was revealed that Herschel had actually seen a race of furry, winged men and women, human—like creatures who could fly! The Sun's illustrators provided graphic images based on Herschel's "descriptions"．The story caused a sensation in America, and were soon syndicated 〔供许多报纸同时发表〕to newspapers all over the world．Scientists were skeptical about the information, but it seems that no one pointed out that the Edinburgh Journal of Science didn't actually exist．There had been a magazine with that name but it had closed down more than ten years before．The Sun articles were, of course, an elaborate hoax〔骗局〕．Herschel had not really observed life on the Moon, nor had he made any of the other astronomical discoveries that the article reported．In fact, Herschel did not even know about the articles until he returned to England some time later．He had nothing to do with the stories at all．The Sun never admitted that the stories were fake．However, a few weeks afterthe publication, the editor wrote: "We can only concede 〔承认〕 that the story is a hoax if the Scottish paper that published it admits it．"As the "Scottish paper" didn't exist, this was not likely to happen．56．What is the text about?A．An article about the Moon in an early 20th century astrological magazine．B．A series of articles about the Moon in a Science Journal in the early 19th, century．C．A series of articles about the Moon in a newspaper in the early 19th century．D．An article about South African skies in a geographical．57．Sir John Herschel was ____．A．a British astronomer who used a giant telescope to observe the skies in Africa B．a British journalist who observed the skies in South Africa and wrote about the MoonC．a South Africa astronomer who built a giant telescopeD．a British astronomer who discovered life on the Moon58．What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragragh mean?A．They believed it without question．B．They didn't believe the stories because they knew the Science Journal didn't exist．C．They believed it because it was In the newspaper．D．They didn't believe it butaccepted it because they thought the stories had been published．59．Since ____, the article was indeed an elaborate hoax．A．Herschel had something to do with the storiesB．Herschel had not discovered anything reported about the MoonC．scientists knew that the Edinburgh Journal of Science didn't actually exist D．the newspaper admitted it was a lie**********************************************************完毕My family and I lived across the street from Rose, Park since I was four years old． Then just last year the city put a chain link fence around the park and started bulldozing 〔用推土机推平〕the trees and grass to make way for a new apartment complex．When I saw the fence and bulldozers,I asked myself, “Why don’t they just leave it alone?"Looking back, I think what sentenced the park to oblivion was the drought; 〔旱灾〕 we had about four years ago．Up until then．Rose Park was a nice green park ．with plenty of trees and a public swimming pool．My friends and I rollerskated on the sidewalks, climbed the trees, and swam in the pool all the years I was growing up, ．The park was almost like my own yard．In the summer I was fifteen the drought came and things changed．There had been almost no rain all that year．The city stopped watering the park grass．Within a few weeks I found myself living across the street from a huge, brown desert．Leaves tell off the park trees, and pretty soon the trees started dying, too．The park swimming pool was closed．Then the city cut down on the work force that kept the park, and it just got too ugly and dirty to enjoy anymore．As the drought lasted into the :fall, the park got worse and worse．The rubbish piled up or blew across the brown grass．There were few people in the park．It was said that drugs were being sold or traded there．The park had gotten scary, and my mother told us kids not to go there anymore．The drought finally ended and things seemed to get back to normal that is, everything but the park．It had gotten into such bad shape that the city just let it stay that way．Then about six months ago I heard that the city was going to"redevelop" certain worn-out areas of the city．It turned out that the city had planned to get rid of the park, sell the land and let someone build rows of apartment buildings on it．The chain-link fence and the bulldozers did their work．Now we live across the street from six rows of apartment buildings．Each of them is three units high and stretches a block in each direction．The neighborhood has changed without the park．The streets I used to play in are jammed with cars now．Things will never be the same again．Sometimes I wonder what would happen if another drought came．60．How did the writer feel when he saw the fence and bulldozers?A．Scared．B．Excited． C, Curious．D．Upset．61．Why was the writer told not to go to the park by his mother?A．It was being rebuilt．B．It became crowded．C．It was dangerous．D．It had turned into a desert．62．According to the writer, what evehtuaily brought about the disappearance of the park?A．The drought．B．The crime．C．The decisions of the city．D．Piles of rubbish 63．The last sentence of the passage implies that if another drought came．A．people would have to desert their homesB．the situation would be much worseC．the city would be fully prepared in advanceD．the city would have to redevelop the neighborhood完形填空In the city of Fujisawa, Japan, lives a woman named Atsuko Saeki When she was a teenager, she 1 of going to the United States.

营口市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空二轮精品训练〔2〕含答案In late March, Southwest University became the first school in China to open a 24-hourhotline providing suicide-prevention counseling．College suicide is a heart-breaking and controversial topic．Chinese college students havelong been the focus of public attention: their youth, education and．most importantly, brightfutures make them the envy of society．However, in recent years, we've read more reports of student suicides．Perhaps that's simplybecause of society's attention with youth．But it could also signify the increasing troubled mentalstate of young people．Many studies have sought to find out the causes of student suicides．Not surprisingly, the topfactors usually include psychological and physical sickness, emotional trouble and peer pressure．Despair about their futures is also quickly becoming a leading factor: many students say theyfeel hopeless and confused about the direction of their careers in a crowded job market．Thankfully, more and more universities and colleges are providing counseling services toaddress students' mental and psychological problems．These at least offer some comfort tostudents facing tough job prospects and personal difficulties．From appointing in-house student counselors to setting up hotlines and recruiting students tohelp their troubled peers, many universities are making efforts to fight student depression．Thereis no denying that much remains to be done, but such efforts are already working, helpingstudents and saving lives．However, the most important front in this battle lies with the students themselves．Whateverefforts school officials make, it is up to students to realize their problems and ask help．Unfortunately, many students considering suicide refuse to seek help．By shutting themselvesaway, they can easily fall into vicious cycles 〔恶性循环〕, becoming even more easily hurt topersonal difficulties and the pressures of the outside world．While establishing better on-campus psychological education and outreachprograms as astep forward, students themselves must actively reach out for help．These dangers are a realityfor every student, not only those who feel confused and depressed．53．Why are there so many students that commit suicide?A．Because of psychological and physical sickness．B．Because they feel hopeless and confused about their future．C．Because of the emotional trouble．D．All of the above．54．According to the article, all of the following are right except___．A．No university in China had a whole day hotline providing suicide-prevention counselingbefore March．B．Many people envy the college students their bright futures．C．The students who feel confused and "depressed may have psychological problems andneed psychological education．D．The problems of student suicides indicate the increasing troubled mental state of youngpeople．55．The key to avoid student suicides is that ___．A．parents communicate with their children and understand them．B．colleges and universities oner more help to students．C．students themselves realize their problems and seek help from others．D．friends give more comfort and show more understanding to the problem students．56．Which of the following can be the best title for the article?A．Help is at hand for suicidal students．B．More college students commit suicide．C．How can students avoid committing suicide?D．Why do college students feel depressed?***************************************************完毕I told my friend Graham that I often cycle two miles from my house to the town centre butunfortunately there is a big hill on the route．He replied, "You mean fortunately．"He explainedthat I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided．My attitude to the hill has now changed．I used to grumble as I approached it but now I tellmyself the following．This hill will exercise my heart and lungs．It will help me to lose weightand get fit．It will mean that I live longer．This hill is my friend．Finally I comfort myself withthe thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercisebicycles when I call get the same value for free．I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the topof the hill．Problems are there to be faced and overcome．We cannot achieve anything with an easylife．Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree．Her activismand writing proved inspirational．She wrote?"Character cannot be developed in ease andquiet．Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, visioncleared, ambition inspired and success achieved．"One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity (逆境〕．Fromtime to time we all face hardships, problems, accidents, afflictions and difficulties．Some areof our making but many confront us through no fault of our own．While we cannot choose theadversity we can choose our attitude towards it．Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs cut off following a flyingaccident．He was deter-mined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying acesin the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans．He was an inspiration to othersduring the war．He said, "Don't listen to any-one who tells you that you can't do this orthat．That's nonsense．Make up your mind,

It was Jeff’s new colleague, John Smith, and his wife, Phyllis. The Smiths had stopped by to 5 us to town with a loaf of homemade bread. They pointed out a 6 on the porch (门廊). Apparently the doorbell wasn’t working in the cold snowy weather and we had 7 a visit from the Browns, our across-the-street neighbors, who brought us a Christmas card and more Christmas cookies.The 8 feelings brought by these thoughtful gestures lasted longer than the food.As Jeff and I were clearing pre-Christmas 9 from our driveway, Ernie Guzman came over from next door to 10 us to dig out.Then, we received an invitation to 11 a Christmas Eve meal with our neighbors, Ernie and Nancy Sommer, and their 12 — a 90-year-old lady, who also had no family in the immediate area with whom to spend the holiday.Our Christmas Eve was quite merry, thanks to our 13 . Our Christmas morning 14 was special, thanks to the Smiths’ gift of bread. I was so 15 for these gestures of welcome, especially during the holidays.This year, we were again unable to be with our families for Christmas.

辽宁省营口市2014高考英语二轮阅读理解、完形填空精品训练(26)

营口市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空二轮精品训练〔26〕含答案Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.Recite and repeat in conversation.When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.Ask the other person to recite and repeat.You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce〔发音〕 it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.Admit you don’t know.Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy〔同情〕if you say, “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue〔一时想不起来〕. What is it again?〞Use associations〔联想〕.Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng－tall, black hair.〞 To reinforce (加强) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.Go early.Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others -- an automatic(自动的) reviewfor you.63. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?A. They will be moved.B. They will be happy.C. They will be angry.D. They will be discouraged.64. If you can’t remember someone’s name, you may __________.A. ask others to help youB. tell him a white lieC. ask him for pityD. tell him the truth65. When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember __________.A. a couple of names firstB. all their namesC. just their last namesD. as many names as possible66. What does the text mainly tell us?A. How to recite and repeat names.B. Importance of attending parties.C. How to make use of associations.D. Tips on an important social skill.参考答案 63. BDAD**********************************************************完毕Che ating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test --- unless the person cheats again.Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason〞 for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions(解决方法) together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating. 67．The author thinks that when kids cheat in class, _______.A．it is unfair to other peopleB．it does harm to their heathC．teachers should punish themD．teachers shouldn’t stop them at once68．Some students like cheating mainly because_________.A．the material in the test is very difficultB．they want to do better than the othersC．cheating can make hard things seem very easyD．they have little time to study their lessons69．The fourth paragraph mainly tells us______.A．cheating isn’t a good ideaB．why kids cheat in the testC．some kids can’t pass the test without cheatingD．some kids don’t spend the time studying70．We can learn from the passage______.A．cheaters are often thought highly ofB．people show no respect for those who cheatC．parents whose kids cheat are often in troubleD．kids cheat in the test because of swim practice参考答案 67. ACBB*********************************************************完毕Whether you admit it or not, music improves our daily life and makes us feel easy, especially the music of Beethoven〔贝多芬〕, Mozart〔莫扎特〕. But can you believe that a school in England is using classical music to cut down on〔减少〕 students' bad behavior?The head teacher Brian Walker at the West Park School in Derby asks some students to stay behind after school on Fridays. He forces his students to listen to Mozart and other classical〔古典的〕 music. He also makes them copy〔抄写〕 his favorite poems and they have to watch educational videos.Mr. Walker says his main aim is to stop noisy pupils causing trouble in class for students who want to study. He said the students staying behind were "not the smokers or drinkers, the truants (逃学的学生 ) or the people who are late for school... It's those who have slowed the learning and teaching in class for everyone". Mr. Walker said this was unacceptable, because it was making the rest of the students distract 〔转移〕 their attention on their study.Mr. Walker believes what he does reminds students that education is something to value. "It helps them see they are part of something bigger that will improve their life chances," he said. The head teacher thinks students in fact learn from being kept behind after school. "Hopefully, I open their ears to an experience they don't normally have and...don't want to have again, so it's both educational and acts as a warning."Music has had success elsewhere in reducing bad behavior. In 2004, it reduced crime〔犯罪〕 on London's subway by 25 percent. Researchers from a Belfast university found it helped stop elephants' bad behavior.However, one West Park student called Kieran said, "An hour of Mr. Walker's musicis a real killer."71. Mr. Walker asks his students to listen to music to _______________.A. make them rest after a day's studyB. punish them for their bad behaviorC. get them to love arts graduallyD. reduce their bad behavior72. A student who _____may be left behind to listen to Mozart after class.A. plays truantB. smokes in classC. bothers〔打扰〕others in classD. comes late for class73. Why does Mr. Walker say some students' bad behavior is unacceptable?A. Because the rest of the students hate them.B. Because they are wasting their life.C. Because they are disturbing teachers.D. Because they have a bad influence on the other students.74. In the eyes of Mr. Walker,_____.A. some students don't realize education is valuableB. all students can learn from musicC. music must be taught after classD. students ought to love music75. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that_____.A. the action Mr. Walker takes doesn't really work as plannedB. Mr. Walker aims to tell students study is importantC. once music helped animals behave wellD. animals also like to listen to music参考答案71.

营口市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空二轮精品训练〔29〕含答案AHoney(蜂蜜)from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest(巢)and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper--a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax (蜂蜡) inOnce it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.56. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?A. It's small in size.B. It's hidden in trees.C. It's covered with wax.D. It's hard to recognize.57. What do the words "the follower" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A bee.B. A bird.C. A honey seeker.D.

Although our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in "snow". Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.The next scene was a complete contrast (比照). The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen (幕). An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island. By a trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches,and blue,clear skies had been brought into the studio!Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film "stars"!60. Who is the author?A. A cameraman.B. .A film director.C. A crowd-scene actor.D.

辽宁省营口市2014高考英语二轮阅读理解、完形填空精品训练(9)

营口市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空二轮精品训练〔9〕含答案〔A〕To Chinese immigrants, in the mid-1800s, California was “The Land of the Golden Mountain.〞In their homeland they had heard the words, “There’s gold in California.〞 They sailed 7,000miles to join the gold rush and strike it rich. Between 1849 and 1882, more than 30,000 Chinese came to California. Most were men. They had been farmers in China. They came here to be miners and laborers. They ended up doing many other jobs, too.Like many other immigrants, they did not plan to stay in America. They came because of their ties to their homeland and their families. They planned to return to China with their fortunes and help their families.Only a few Chinese gold miners struck it rich. Most picked over the areas that had been mined already. But still, white miners resented the Chinese. Slowly, they drove the “yellow peril〞 from the mining camps.By the end of the 1850s, many Chinese returned home. Those who stayed found other jobs.Few women had come west in the gold rush. The Chinese saw a good business opportunity. They began doing the jobs women would have done. Many became house servants. Many more opened laundries.The Chinese opened restaurants. Chop suey and show mein are popular Chinese-American dishes. The Chinese probably created these dishes to serve to the white miners. Other Chinese became fishermen, farmers, and even cigar makers.41. Why did Chinese go to America in the mid-1800s?A. Because they could find good jobs there.B. Because they had found gold there.C. Because they could open laundries and restaurants there.D. Because they heard there was gold there.42. The underlined word “resented〞mean “________〞.A. likedB. helpedC. hatedD. served43. Which of the following was NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Some Chinese became drivers.B. Many Chinese opened shops to help wash clothes.C. Many Chinese picked gold around the old mines.D. Many Chinese returned to China by the end of the 1850s.44. Which should be the title of the passage?A. Early Chinese immigrants in AmericaB. Dream to strike it richC. The difference between men and womenD. Gold miners in America参考答案41---44DCAA***********************************************************完毕Remember how great exercise was when you were a little kid ?

辽宁省营口市2014高考英语二轮阅读理解、完形填空精品训练(10)

营口市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空二轮精品训练〔10〕含答案To the Editor,I have been reading your newspaper, the Hometown Gazette, for the past two years, ever since I moved to Smithville. We moved here from New York City, so I am accustomed to reading excellent newspapers such as The New York Times. In fact, we still have the Times delivered on Sundays. The entire family enjoys reading the recipes(食谱) in the magazine, as well as the Styles section.The Times is great, but the Gazette is another story. I' ve never read an article that doesn't contain at least three or four spelling or grammatical errors. For instance, in last week's issue, you misspelled the word“secretary,〞used a singular verb with a plural noun, and used “it's〞as a possessive(所有格). And that was just in th e lead story! In case you never went to elementary school, “it's〞means “it is. 〞It's not a possessive adjective!It's a pity that this tiny little hick (乡下) town has only one newspaper, because I' d like to have an alternative to the rag you publish. I find it hard to believe your news stories. If you can' t spell correctly, how can you get your facts right？ I' ve been meaning to get this off my chest for some time. Please cancel my subscription(订阅 ).And buy yourself a dictionary.Sincerely,Jane Z. Jones49. Which phrase from the passage shows the writer' s prejudice(偏见)？A. get this off my chestB. three or four spelling or grammatical errorsC. tiny little hick townD. reading the recipes in the magazine50.

It' s a pity this town has only one newspaper.B. The Times is great, but the Gazette is another story.C. We still have the Times delivered on Sundays.D. You never went to elementary school.52.

But Winograd’s wife, Jennifer, also an animal lover, was all for it. So they packed everything they owned, and with two young children, plus two dogs, and a bunch of cats Winograd had rescued, drove cross—country.On the second day, they had no room for six more puppies they received. They found an old horse trough, filled it with hay and nestled the animals inside. They placed it next to the front desk, and within a day or two, all six had homes, adopted by people who walked into the shelter and couldn’t resist.Blind dogs, cats with missing limbs—all find homes. “There is no dog or cat tooold, , toougly or too undesirable not to be adopted by someone,〞 says Winograd.Today, Tompkins County is considered the only no-kill county in the United States. Nine out of ten dogs ,cats that come through the shelter doors are saved. Only animals with incurable injuries or illnesses, and the truly evil, are put down. The national average is half of all dogs and 70 percent of cats, totaling more than four million animals last year alone.Even though he drives an old car that leaks when it rains, and his family lives on a tight budget while his classmates from Stanford Law earn six-figure salaries, Winograd says he’s doing what he’d always wanted to do when he grew up; run an animal shelter and save all the animals.As a young district lawyer, he kept his goal in mind, starting when he raised his first animal cruelty case. A man was accused of intentionally setting his brown cat on fire. Winograd made his case, and the abusive owner was sentenced to prison. It was the first of many such cases, and he raised each with vigor. But the senseless violence, neglect and ignorance never failed to shock him. He decided simply, “I need to get to the other side and start saving these animals.〞Now, Winograd is helping to save thousands, even millions, “I’m convinced that a no-kill nation is possible, I’m just here trying to shorten the time until it arrives.〞53．What was his father’s response when Nathan Winograd left his job as a lawyer in California?A．He was all for it. B．He was strongly against it.C．He was greatly puzzled. D．He was very angry.54．How did Winograd successfully save so many animals?A．He kept all the rejected animals in a large shelter.B．He let the animalsadopted by people who visited the shelter.C．He sold some of the animals and get some money.D．He delivered the animals to the local government.[来源:金太阳新课标资源网 ://WX.JTYJY /]55．Which could be the right order of the following events according to the passage?a．Winograd and Jennifer set up an animal shelter.b．Winograd and Jennifer lead a comfortable life.c．Winograd and Jennifer got married and had two children.d．Winograd and his family lived on a tight bugget.e．Winograd worked against animal cruelty as a lawyer.f．Winograd worked as a lawyer in Californiag．Winograd and Jennifer moved to Tompkins County.A．f-c-b-g-a-e-d B．f-e-d-e-a-g-b C．g-a-c-b-f-e-d D．e-d-g-a-f-c-d 56．Which could be the best title of the passage?A．Being Rich is Important B．Animals, Our Best FriendsC．No Pet Left behind D．The Winograd Family参考答案53-56 CBAC*****************************************************完毕As a teenager of the digital era, it is really hard to say no to fantastic electronic gadgets〔电子产品〕. Many of us can’t get through a day without using our mobile phones or checking our e-mails. No matter if we’re “@home〞, “@school〞or “@play〞, living without technological toys seems more and more unthinkable.However, although gadgets bring convenience, many of us can start to feel stressed out by them. And, a lot of electronics are fairly expensive. Fashionable gadgets come and go in the digital age in the blink of any eye. So, think twice before you pulling out your wallet. [来源:金太阳新课标资源网 ://WX.JTYJY /]Here are some of the most popular gadgets and their pros and cons:Pros: Laptops have made our lives much easier. You can take your books, movies, music and homework everywhere.Cons: They cost at least 4,000 yuan! If you only want to share photos or games with your friends, then a flash memory stick is a great cheap alternative.Pros: As well as carrying your favourite music, a video MP3 player can play up to 150 hours of movies and TV programmes.Cons: The price –sometimes more than 2,000 yuan –is the first concern. Secondly, though music is really important to young people, ask yourself if video is really necessary. A regular MP3 player is a lot cheaper. And remember, don’t let the loud volume damage your hearing.Pros: New mobile phones combine traditional functions with a digital camera, MP3 player and even a radio. Some can also send and receive e-mails.Cons: Always trying to keep up with the latest model can be a waste of money. There are always new, improved phones coming out. Don’t be a fool.
