2014高考英语阅读理解巩固练习精品题(42)及答案【江苏省常州市金坛一中2013模拟】CEver wonder how much a cloud weighs?What about a hurricane?A meteorologist has done some estimates and the results might surprise you.Let's start with a very simple white puffy cloud — a cumulus cloud (积云)。

How much does the water in a cumulus cloud weigh? Peggy LeMone,senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder,Colorado, did the numbers. "The water in the little cloud weighs about 550 tons," she calculates。

"Or if you want to convert it to something that might be a little more meaningful … think of elephants."The thought of a hundred elephants-worth of water suspended in the sky begs another question — what keeps it up there?"First of all, the water isn’t in elephant siz ed particles(微粒),it's in tiny tiny tiny particles," explains LeMone. And those particles float on the warmer air that’s rising below。

2014江苏省南京市高考英语阅读理解巩固自练阅读理解(2013·西安市标准化考练,D)Up to 45 rare species of Australian animals are in danger of becoming extinct within 20 years, scientists warned in a report. But hope is not lost! According to the report, the species can be saved if immediate action is taken to control their natural predators (天敌) and other threats.The threatened animals can be found in the faraway Kimberley region of northwestern Australia. The region is similar in square miles to California. Thirty percent of the endangered species are unique to the region, while others have already disappeared in other parts of Australia.Dr. Tara Martin, a research scientist said in the report, “A large extinction event is happening in Australia. The north has really been the last stronghold (主要栖息地) for many species of birds and mammals and reptiles. The Kimberley is really their last chance on earth.”Many of the species are under threat because they are hunted by wild cats. These cats kill around 500 000 native animal s in the Kimberley region every day. The species face another threat, too. Their native habitat is also being destroy ed by wildfires and by wild donkeys and goats that compete for food and water. Humans introduced cats, donkeys and goats to Australia to be farm animals or pets. However, their populations have exploded in the region because they have few natural predators.The report calls for $ 95 million to immediately start protection programs. The report also suggests reducing wild donkey and goat populations in the region, building fences, fighting wildfires and educating the community about how to help the endangered species. Richard Hobbs, an ecologist at the University of Western Australia, says the costs are worthwhile because the measures will not be too difficult to carry out.文章大意:本文是一篇调查报告。

2014江苏省溧水县高考英语阅读理解巩固训练社会现象类(2013·湖北,D)A German study suggests that people who were too optimistic about their future actually faced greater risk of disability or death within 10 years than those pessimists who expected their future to be worse.The paper, published this March in Psychology and Aging, examined health and welfare surveys from roughly 40,000 Germans between ages 18 and 96.The surveys were conducted every year from 1993 to 2003.Survey respondents (受访者) were asked to estimate their present and future life satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10, among other questions.The researchers found that young adults (age 18 to 39) r outinely overestimated their future life satisfaction, while middle­aged adults (age 40 to 64) more accurately predicted how they would feel in the future.Adults of 65 and older, however, were far more likely to underestimate their future life satisfaction.Not only did they feel more satisfied than they thought they would, the older pessimists seemed to suffer a lower ratio (比率) of disability and death for the study period.“We observed that being too optimistic in predicting a better future than actually observed was associated with a greater risk of disability and a greater risk of death within the following decade,” wro te Frieder R.Lang, a professor at the University of Erlangen­Nuremberg.Lang and his colleagues believed that people who were pessimistic ab out their future may be more careful about their actions than people who expected a rosy future.“Seeing a dark fut ure may encourage positive evaluations of the actual self and may contribute to taking improved precautions(预防措施),”the authors wrote.Surprisingly, compared with those in poor health or who had low incomes, respondents who enjoyed good health or income were associated with expecting a greater decline.Also, the researchers said that higher income was related to a greater risk of disability.The authors of the study noted that there were limitations to their conclusions.Illness, medical treatment and personal loss could also have driven health outcomes.However, the researchers said a pattern was clear.“We found that from early to late adulthood, individuals adapt their expectations of future lifesatisfaction from optimistic, to accurate, to pessimistic,” the authors concluded.5.According to the study, who made the most accurate prediction of their future life satisfaction?A.Optimistic adults. B.Middle­aged adults.C.Adults in poor health. D.Adults of lower income.解析细节理解题。

2014江苏省溧水县高考英语阅读理解巩固训练社会生活类阅读理解In the United States, there were some well-constructed houses for native Indians, ranging from the simple brush shelter to the five-storied pueblo.In the eastern United States, one of the existing types was that commonly known under the Algonkian name of wigwam in which the Iroquois Indians lived. The wigwams were of wagon-top shape with straight sides and ends, made by bending young trees to form the round shape. Over this shape pieces of tree bark were laid to protect the Indians from bad weather. Over the bark dried grass was added. A small hole allowed smoke to escape from the top. Doorways at each end served also as windows. The Iroquois Indians built trunk walls all around their villages. The wall had only one opening. They could quickly close this opening if their enemies came near.Interestingly, the Choctaw Indians in Mississippi also lived in a wigwam of a most primitive(原始的) construction, but different from those of the Iroquois Indians. The Choctaw Indians’ wigw ams, made from mud, cane and straw, were in the form of a bee-hive. The covering was made of a long, tough grass. A post in the centre supported the roof. A hole in the top admitted the light, and allowed the smoke to pass out.The tipi tent-housing of the upper lake and plains area was put up with poles set lightly in the ground, tied together near the top, and covered with bark and grass in the lake country. It was easily portable, and two women could set it up or take it down within an hour.The Pawnee, Mandan and other Indian tribes(部落)along the Missouri built solidring-shaped structures of trunk, covered with earth and dried grass, housing a dozen families.The Wichita and other tribes of the Texas border built large ring-shaped houses covered with dried grass.Apart from the regular housing, almost every tribe had some style of housing.1. Which of the following pictures shows the house for the Iroquois Indians?2. According to the passage, the Pawnee Indians built their houses .A. with openings in the trunk wallsB. large enough for several familiesC. in a ring shape with bark and mudD. by bending young trees to form the shape3. All the native Indian houses described in the passage were .A. of the same shapeB. covered with grassC. built with a post in the centreD. built with doorways at each end4. The passage suggests that .A. all the native Indians built trunk walls all around their housesB. all the native Indian houses were built with poles tied togetherC. the Iroquois Indians took safety into account while building their wigwamsD. the Choctaw Indians in Mississippi built their wigwams with straight sides and ends【参考答案】63.1-4 ABBC[故事型阅读理解]----- (一)War Horse is a historical s tory by Michael Morpurgo.

2014高考英语阅读理解巩固精品题练习(2)及答案阅读理解----BCan an iPhone really make you happier? A new study says “Yes”. According to a survey of 35,000 people around the world, access to (进入) communications technology is a major factor in increasing happiness.We all need a few basic things in order to be happy: access to clean water and food, a home, health care, and relationships. But once the necessities are met, what do people most desire? The answer is access to communication devices (设备), according to the survey by BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT.Most people in the study gave similar answers, but the potential (潜在的) happiness increase that technology could bring about was particularly great in women and in people with low incomes or levels of education — even in developing countries.While farmers in the African countryside aren’t likely to pick up the latest shiny toys from Apple, even a simple cell phone can serve as a valuable happiness-increasing tool, allowing the development of social networks beyond the community.“Whether young or old, we’re all social beings, we all have a need for communication,” researcher Paul Flatters told BBC News.In rural (乡村) communiti es, access to communications technology such as cell phones and computers is limited, but expanding, thanks to groups like One Laptop Per Child, which supplies children in developing countries with basic laptops that allow them to research school projects and connect with others all over the world. Other groups, like the UK’ s Computer Aid, are helpin g rural villagers get wired with the help of portable cyber cafes (便携式网吧) that allow locals to log online to send emails and perform work-related research.And back home, it seems from the results that small IT devices like the iPhone really can increase your happiness — provided you use it to talk with and send messages, photos, and videos to friends and family to help strengthen your social networks, rather than simply play Angry Birds.45. How does an iPhone make one happier, according to the study?A. By giving one a higher income.B. By letting one keep in touch with others.C. By giving one chances to surf the Internet.D. By letting one enjoy movies or take photos.46. What does the study show us?A. How many people are using iPhones.B. What communication tools people like to use.C. What people need besides the basic necessities.D. What is the life of people in developing countries like.47. The underlined words “Angry Birds” in the last paragraph most probably refer to “______”.A. birds that are angryB. an e-gameC. naughty childrenD. a computer48. The author wrote the text to tell us that ______.A. communications technology can increase happinessB. the iPhone is the best cell phone in the worldC. playing with an iPhone is a waste of timeD. peo ple in developed countries are happierC7[2013·重庆卷] EIt is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather.Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr.Johnson's famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson's observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that,as the English weather is not at all exciting,the obsession with it can hardly be understood.He argues that “To an outsider,the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive.Bryson is wrong, he says,because the English preference for the weather has nothing to d o with the natural phenomena. “The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English.Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point.The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all.English weather-speak is a system of signs,which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other.Everyone knowsconversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data.Rather, they are routine greetings,conversation starters or the blank “fillers”. In other words, English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.72.The author mentions Dr.Johnson's comment to show that ________.A.most commentators agree with Dr.JohnsonB.Dr.Johnson is famous for his weather observationC.the comment was accurate two hundred years agoD.English conversations usually s tart with the weather73.What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to?A.A social trend.B.An emotional state.C.A historical concept.D.An unknown phenomenon.74.According to the passage,Jeremy Paxman believes that ________.A.Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weatherB.there is nothing special about the English weatherC.the English weather attracts people to the British IslesD.English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty75.What is the author's main purpose of writing the passage?A.To explain what English weather-speak is about.B.To analyse misconceptions about the English weather.C.To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.D.To convince people that the English weather is changeable.【要点综述】本文通过对Bill Bryson和Jeremy Paxman两人迥然不同的观点的陈述来阐明作者对英国人以天气为寒暄内容的见解。

All the road markings and signs are shown in two languages—English and Welsh (威尔士语). Not all visitors to Britain know that other languages are spoken here. There's the Gaelic (盖尔语) language in Scotland and a few people speak Cornish (康沃尔语) in the southwest of England, but the most widely spoken language in the UK besides English is Welsh.Perhaps the first Welsh word you'll see on the road into Wales is ARAF. There's a helpful English translation next to it—SLOW. As you can see, Welsh looks quite different from English. It sounds very different, too. Welsh looks and sounds so different from English because it's a Celtic language. Celtic cultures still exist around the edges of the UK—in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and also in parts of France. For hundreds of years, almost everyone in Wales spoke Welsh, but nowadays there are about 600 thousand Welsh speakers—around 20% of the population.So is Welsh dying out? Not at all! Nowadays, all school children in Wales study Welsh and many choose to go to an all Welshspeaking school. You can get public information in Welsh, speak Welsh in court or take a course at university in Welsh. People surf the Internet in Welsh, keep up with friends on Facebook and write blogs in Welsh.By the way,“Croeso I Gymru!” means “Welcome to Wales!”—I hope you'll be able to visit it one day.文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。

2014高考英语阅读理解巩固练习精品题(37)及答案【江苏省常州市北郊高级中学2013模拟】CFROM lunch at the school canteen to the delicious dinner cooked by your mother, it’s easy to find pork, an important ingredient in Chinese cooking.While enjoying the dishes, however, have you ever thought about how many government agencies are involved in ensuring the quality of the meat on your table?Let’s list them.The Agriculture Ministry supervises (监管) farmers raising pigs. The Commerce Ministry supervises those slaughtering (屠宰) them. When the pork is made into sausage, it is the responsibility of the quality supervision and inspection department to supervise production. When it is then sold in supermarkets, the department of industry and commerce steps in. When it enters restaurants, the task goes to the State Food and Drug Administration. And if food safety crimes occur, it is the police’s duty to find the criminals.This overlapping (重叠) management often leads to the repetition of work and supervision blind spots, says Ma Kai, state councilor. Consumers may be confused about which government department they should go to when a quality problem involving pork occurs.But the confusion will be soon clarified thanks to a government restructuring plan released on March 10 during the National People’s Congress and Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.According to the plan, a new general administration will be established and will be responsible for a unified supervision of food and drug safety and quality throughout the process of production, circulation and consumption.So, all supervision before pigs are slaughtered will still be covered by the Ministry of Agriculture, but the duties after that fall on the new administration – the General Administration of Food and Drugs.On the whole, the reform cuts the total number of government ministry level bodiesfrom 27 to 25, while reorganizing certain other government agencies and departments. The plan is aimed at improving efficiency, China Daily reported.Another highlight of the shake-up relates to the State Oceanic Administration (SOA).In recent years, tension has been rising over territorial disputes with neighboring countries. The restructured agency will better protect China’s waters and marine resources, Xinhua said.It will unify the coast guard forces of the Public Security Ministry, the fishery law enforcement (执行) team of the Ministry of Agriculture, and the maritime anti-smuggling (反走私) authorities of the General Administration of Customs.The SOA currently has only one maritime law enforcement agency, China Marine Surveillance, and it doesn’t have nearly enough personnel or equipment to guard China’s more than 18,000 kilometers of coastline and 3 million square kilometers of territorial water.63. Now which department will supervise restaurant owners who may serve sausage to customers?A. the Agriculture MinistryB. the Commerce MinistryC. the quality supervision and inspection departmentD. the State Food and Drug Administration64. According to the restructuring plan, the General Administration of Food and Drugswill be responsible for the supervision of_________.A. the process of raising pigsB. the slaughtering of pigsC. the production of sausagesD. the management of farms65. What can we infer from the passage?A. It is reported that the restructuring plan is aimed at improving efficiency.B. The Ministry of Agriculture will supervise the process after the pigs areslaughtered.C. The tension over territorial disputes with neighboring countries is coming toan end.D. China’s guard force over its waters and marine resources needs to bestrengthened.66. What is the purpose of the fourth paragragh?A. To explain how the government supervise the meat production.B. To explain the different roles of different departmentsC. To show the inefficiency of the government administration.D. To show how the job is divided among the departments.【参考答案】DCDC阅读理解-----BTake Action for a Better World: Volunteers NeededSix mont hs’ preparation in Denmark: Africa studies, team work combined with social work with risk group teenagers.Six months’ community work in Malawi in People to People Projects: Child Aid, HIV / AIDS.

Reportedly, Howard “grabbed Kobe’s uniform, put it on, and imitated him in front of all the other players on the team”.How did Kobe react?

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校2014高考英语阅读理解巩固自练阅读理解(2013·质检,B)Bursting into the classroom from recess (课间休息), 15 children take their seats and face the woman they know as Ms. Yang.“What day is it today?” she asks, in Mandarin Chinese (普通话).“Confucius' birthday!” the fifth graders shout in Mandarin.“Why do we celebrate Confucius' birthday?”“Because he's the greatest teacher in the history of China!”exclaims a brownhaired girl. She is speaking Mandarin.English is rarely heard in Lisa Yang's class at the Chinese American International School (CAIS), despite the fact that few students are native speakers of Mandarin.The United States is actively trying to increase the group of students in “critical languages” such as Mandarin. The students at CAIS are way ahead in such a trend.Founded 25 years ago, this small private school in San Francisco, USA, does what few other American schools do: It produces fully fluent speakers of Mandarin Chinese, by far the most commonly spoken language in the world.Mandarin Chinese is suddenly hot in American schools. As China becomes the world's leading economy sometimes this century, schools in the U. S. are scrambling to add Mandarin to their list of foreign languages or expand Chinese programs already in place.“It really is almost unprecedented (无前例的). People are looking at China as a force to be reckoned with... And to ensure that the U. S. has the ability to conduct trade, and to work with the Chinese, certainly having an understanding of Chinese language and culture is an advantage,”said Marty Abbott of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages(ACTFL).To develop Chineselanguage programs has not been smooth. A shortage of trained teachers has made it difficult for some schools to join the race. When schools do get teachers, they often hire them straight from China, and the teachers usually suffer culture shock when they come to the U. S.Robert Liu remembers his first two years in an American classroom. It was not an easy adjustment. “In China, students respect their teachers,” he said. Liu found that American students, however, expectan active teaching style. He had to use games to engage them rather than lectures.To avoid many of the problems with foreign teaching styles, the CAIS has been working with the Chinese government to improve training of teachers who are sent to the U. S.文章大意:本文为一篇说明文。

高中英语真题-2014高考英语阅读理解巩固全程训练(20)及答案

高中英语真题-2014高考英语阅读理解巩固全程训练(20)及答案

高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解巩固全程训练(20)及答案[社会生活型阅读理解(二)]People turn to magic(魔力)chiefly as a form of insurance—that is, they use it along with actions that actually bring results. For example, hunters may use a hunting charm(咒语). But they also use their hunting skills and knowledge of ani mals. The charm may give hunters the extra confidence they ne ed to hunt even more successfully than they would without it. If they shoot a lot of game(猎物), they credit the charm for their success. Many events happe n naturally without magic. Crops grow without it, and sick peopl e get well without it. But if people use magic to bring a good har vest or to cure a patient, they may believe the magic was respo nsible.People also tend to forget magic's failures and to be impressed by its surface successes. They may consider magic successful i f it appears to work only 10 percent of the time. Even when mag ic fails, people often explain the failure without doubting the po wer of the magic. They may say that the magician made a mist ake in recitingthe spell or that another magician cast a more powerful spell ag ainst the magician.Many anthropologists(人类学家) believe that people have faith in magic because they feel a need to believe in it. People may turn to magic to reduce their f ear and uncertainty if they feel they have no control over the out come of a situation. For example, farmers use knowledge and s kill when they plant their fields. But they know that weather, ins ects, or diseases might ruin the crops. So farmers in some soci eties may also plant a charm or perform a magic rite to ensurea good harvest.1. From the passage, we can learn that the writer of the passage ma y be ________.A. a hunterB. a farmerC. a magicianD. an anthropologist2. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passa ge?A. Magic and HuntingB. Magic and FarmingC. Why Magic Works?D. Why People Believe in Magic?3. The underlined word “spell”(Paragraph 2) most probably mea ns “________”.A. magic wordsB. magic eventsC. words or expressionsD. magicians4. People believe in magic because________.A. magic powers are greater than natural powersB. magic can turn dreams into realityC. they are not sure of themselvesD. magic can bring good results5. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Even though magic fails, believers in magic will explain the r eason.B. Believers in magic usually overstate the power of magic.C. People use magic to reduce their uncertainty and give them extra confidence.D. Magic can solve problems people can't deal with in a natural way.(三)【要点综述】为什么有些人相信魔法咒语呢?魔法咒语真的灵验吗?这些人相信魔法咒语是因为他们缺乏自信。

Natsune was wearing her father's jacket and was wrapped in his arms. The pair had last been heard from at 4 p. m. on Saturday, after fisherman Okada picked his daughter up from a school where she was being looked after while he was at work. Okada called his relatives to say his truck had become stuck in the driving snow, which was several meters deep in places. He told them he and Natsune would walk the remaining kilometre. The two were found just 300 meters from the truck at 7 a.m. on Sunday.Okada had his body bent over his daughter, gently holding her in his arms and apparently using his body and a warehouse wall to provide shelter. The small girl was taken to hospital, where she was found to have no serious injuries. Her father was officially pronounced dead by doctors at the same hospital.The newspaper Yomiuri said Natsune's mothe r had died of illness two years earlier. The paper quoted neighbors as saying Okada had been an extremely caring father who would often delay the start of his working day to enjoy breakfast with his daughter.His death came as fami lies all over Japan celebrated Girls' Day, a festival in which they gather at home and decorate houses with dolls. “He reserved a cake for his only daughter and was looking forward to celebrating Dolls' Festival together,”a neighbor told the Yomiuri.文章大意:本文是一篇新闻报道。

阅读理解解读Traditional businessmen feel worried that growing e­commerce will reduce their shareof the market.According to a survey, 90% of some people's purchases are made on the computer. As they find that by being able to go online and choose the things that they need to choose, and have them delivered right to their doorsteps, they could no longerbe bothered with driving, the crowds, the noise of that, and they usually get a better selection.Cornell University Marketing Professor, MeLaughlin says traditional stores can keep their customers by offering goods like clothing, which customers may want to see and try on before purchasing, as well as items that are difficult to ship. He says some traditional stores are also pleasing customers with services that set up or repair computers and electronics.Traditional stores also offer a social experience that some shoppers enjoy. There is still a lot of emotion in the buying decision that takes place. Oftentimes, you need that last sense of “this is exactly what I want” before you part with money. And you can't always get that online. It's a rather cold process.As more and more people have Internet access and smart phones, online commerce is likely to continue its growth here in the United States and in other countries.文章大意:本文为一篇议论文。
