We sometimes want to know where he sleeps at night.A few weeks ago he boarded the bus. A few stops later, a young woman boarded.

The driver told her to pay the $2.25 fare. “I just bought this card,” she said. “I paid the money...”The driver said she could take the card back to the sales office and explain the problem. In the meantime she would have to pay the fare for that day. The woman became confused and distressed. The rest of us just watched, wondering how the problem would be solved. Suddenly the man rose from his seat, dropped a few coins into the fare box.“You’re lucky,” the bus driver said quietly. “He paid for you.” Silence fell ov er the bus. The rest of us had watched the woman’s discomfort, but he felt it. We lawyers, journalists and business people headed downtown to help fix the world. He fixed her world.I haven’t seen him since that day. Some people believe angels occasion ally drop down and move among us. All I know is that I have a new respect for the simple act of kindness.

2014高考训练题With 10, 600 bicycles in circulation，Paris cityofficials are hoping the program will provide peoplewith more environmentally friendly transportation．It seems both Parisians and tourists are takingadvantage of the program．Since its launch a little over two weeks ago，Vélib has already seen almost half a million rentals．And，with the addition of 10，000 more bikes and 700 more stations in the next 12 months，city officials expect at least 200，000 regular users by year end．Parisian Olivier Bioret has already gone for a spin on one of Vélib’s vehicles and plans to make use of them more often．“It’s a real pleasure—when，like me，you don’t have space enough in your flat to have yourown bike—to be able to discover．to cross Paris and not have to take the subway，”he said．As a socialist and longtime green activist，Mayor Bertrand Delanoe regards Vélib as just a part of his plan to reduce car traffic and，thus，lower pollution by 2020． Apart from its environmental benefits，Vélib is also being praised as a way of collecting money for the city，for all the money from rentals goes to the city government．Paris is not alone in its attempt to profit from the power of the bicycles． Across the globe，cities such as Barcelona，which stated its bike-share program in March with 1,500 vehicles and 100 stations，and New York，which launched a five-day trial program lastmonth，are using bicycles as a way to cut back on both traffic and pollution．However，it remains to be seen whether people’s acceptance of these programs is simply apassing fashion or whether this movement has the power to take root and transform the face of public transportation around the world．56．The real purpose of Vélib is________．A．to help people save money and spaceB．to make some money for the city governmentC．to provide convenience to both Parisians and touristsD．to reduce traffic and pollution in the city57．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．There will be 700 stations in one year’s time．B．There will be over 20, 000 bikes in use in a year．C．In the first two weeks there were nearly a million rentals．D．There will be 200, 000 regular rentals each day by year end．58．We can know from the passage that_________．A．other cities also have such programsB．Parisians can use the bicycles free of chargeC．Paris sets an example to many other citiesD．Paris is the first city to start such a program59．As to the future of the program，the author is_________．A．critical B．optimistic C．uncertainD．negative【参考答案】56.

C2014高考训练题A carefree summer vacation can be yours with these easy tips．1．Fly into Alternate AirportsMost major destinations are served by more than one airport．Flying into a less popular one can result in cheaper tickets．Another added perk of quieter airports? Shorter check-in and securitylines，and less waiting around．2．Use Public Transportation for City Travel to Save Time and MoneyWhen possible，take public transportation from the airport to your hotel．For example，theLondon-Heathrow express train takes just 15 minutes to get from airport to city and costs under 20pounds．By contrast，“A taxi costs about 70 pounds and takes 40 minutes，"reports DiScala．3．Eat Smart，Explore…and SaveLook for ways to take your order in pricey restaurants and you can avoid “Are we about to run out of money?”“Don’t order an appetizer．Don’t drink a lot of booze，” says DiScala．Also，cover more ground by spreading out your snack places．“Have dessert at a café or icecream stand, instead of at the dinner restaurant，” suggests DiScala．You’ll see more of the city anddecisions about where to go for dinner will be less worrying．4．Hit the MarketMuch like reading the local newspaper，visiting a market gives context to a foreign country．Even the smallest villages tend to have a weekly open-air market(often on Saturday mornings) , while in larger towns and cities，expect additional market days，as well as big supermarkets．Markets also sell amazing，wallet-friendly souvenirs．Think about sea salt，local spices orsauces，and regional oils and vinegars． Eatable gifts are almost always appreciated，saving you the stress of finding the“perfect”gift for each person on your list．60．The passage aims to tell the readers how to________．A．take a plane without waiting for longB．spend your holidays abroad economicallyC．eat in a pricey restaurant at the smallest expenseD．save money to buy eatable gifts in a foreign market61．What does the underlined word“perk” in Line 4 mean?A．Special benefit． B．Strict standard．C．Common scene． D．Extra trouble．62．Which of the following will best help you save time and money?A. Choosing a bigger airport． B .Visiting local markets．C．Having dinner at the hotel． D．Taking an express train．63．What can be inferred from the passage?A．Having coffee at a cafe will cost more money．B．Souvenirs bought at local markets are expensive．C．You will run out of your money if you eat out．D．Markets help you understand your tourist destination．【参考答案】60.

By using a new technology, it speaks to you as you prepare a French dish. The kitchen breaks new ground by taking language learning out of the classroom and linking it with an enjoyable and rewarding real-life activity.The new kitchen is designed to be used in schools, unive rsities and even people’s homes. It could also be an existing kitchen. The first version of the technology was tested in the kitchens of project partner Newcastle University. The kitchen could be available for schools and universities, and for the UK market by the June of 2014. The Newcastle University team is now working on ways to put it on the market. And the European Union has given money to begin programs in six other languages, including English Italian and Spanish. Finally, versions could be developed for any language cuisine（烹饪法）in the world.Professor Paul sa ys, “By international standards, the UK students are now poor when it comes to learning languages—a problem that certainly has an economic influence. We believe that developing skills in a count ry’s language and its cuisine will help change the trend.”On a computer fixed into the kitchen, the user first selects the French recipe（菜谱）they want to follow. Digital sensors built into dishes, containers and other equipment then communicate with the computer to make sure the right instructions are given at the right time, the user can ask the computer to repeat an instruction, or translate it into English, simply by pressing the touch screen. After cooking, the user can test what they have learned by carrying out a short test on the computer. All grammar and vocabulary has been carefully selected to make sure that using the kitchen adds to basic proficiency（熟练）in understanding French.Now three easy-carrying versions of the kitchen are being prepared. Th ey’re to be fixed in Newcastle University and at Institute Francais, a London-based charity devoted to teaching the French language.57. The new kitchen is designed mainly to __________.A. increase people’s interest in cookingB. teach people how to cook French dishesC. offer people a new way to learn languagesD. help cooks learn spoken French in the kitchen58. Which of the following is TRUE about the kitchen?A. It has versions in six languages now.B. It is already available for sale in the UK.C. It has received strong support from the EU.D. It can be used only in schools and university.59. When a person is using the kitchen, ___________.A. it will give him a test on his cooking skillsB. it can translate French into another languageC. the cooking process will stop if he goes wrongD. he must be careful so as not to make mistakes60. What would be the best title for the text?A. UK students have problems in language learning.B. New technology helps students learning cooking.C. An enjoyable and rewarding real-life activity.D.

Our body clock,or natural body rhythm，influences our energy and alertness．Paying attention to it can help us choose the suitable time of day when we best perform specific tasks．The reality，however，is that most of us organize their time around work demands，school deadlines,commuting or social events．Doing whatever your body feels like doing is a luxury in today's fast—paced modem society．But that doesn’t mean it isn’t wo rth trying．Obeying our body clock has significant health benefits．Disrupting our natural body rhythm，on the other hand,has been linked to problems such as depression，obesity，or headache,says Steve Key，a biology professor．When the body clock can synchronize(使……同步）the rhythms of its natural processes，it “gives us an advantage in daily life”,says Key．According to him，when it comes to cognitive（认知的）work，most adults perform best in the late morning．As our body temperature starts to risejust before awakening in the morning and continues to increase until midday，our memory,alertness and concentration gradually improve．However，he adds，our ability to concentrate typically starts to decrease soon thereafter．Most of us are more easily distracted（分心）between noon and 4 pm．Alertness also tends to fall after eating a meal and sleepiness tends to peak around 2 pm,making that a good time for a nap．Surprisingly，tiredness may increase our creative powers．For most adults,problems that require open ended thinking are often best dealt with in the evening when they are tired, according to a study in the journal Thinking ＆Reasoning．When choosing a time of day to exercise，paying attention to your body clock can improve results．Physical performance is usually best from about 3 to 6 pm，says Michael Smolensky，a professor of biomedical engineering．Of course，not everyone's body clock is the same，making it even harder to synchronize natural rhythms with daily plans．1．If we know our natural body rhythm well, we can ．A．find out the suitable time to do specific tasksB．organize our time around work demandsC．do whatever our body feels like doingD．be sure to be healthy2．Which of the following is NOT true？A．Our alertness is influenced by our natural body rhythmB．Doing whatever your body feels like is very difficult in our modem society．C．Obeying our body clock is good for our health．D．Disrupting our natural body rhythm can lead to obesity．3．According to Steve Key，which of the following is NOT true? A．When our body clock synchronizes the rhythms of its natural processes，we can do better．B．When it comes to cognitive（认知的）work，most people perform best in the late morning．C．As body temperature rises before awakening in the morning，our concentration gradually improves．D．We concentrate better in the late morning than between noon and 4 pm．4．Inspiration(灵感）to solve a difficult problem will most probably cometo us ．A．when we get up in the morningB．when we are tired in the eveningC．when we are full of energy in the late morningD．when we are asleep at night5．Which of the following can be the suitable title for the passage? A．What is natural body rhythm?B．Natural body rhythm is good for us．C．Something about natural body rhythm．D．The latest research about natural body rhythm．【参考答案】1—--5 ADBBC阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A，B，C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项.Inside the pleasingly fragrant cafe，So All May Eat (SAME）in downtown Denver, the spirit of generosity (慷慨）is instantly noticeable：A donation box stands in place of a cash register。

Maybe you're feeling down because of the financial. Maybe you're feeling over-whelmedby(以…一压倒)holiday tasks．Or maybe you're just having an unpleasant day．If so ,you can make yourself happier--right now．1．Boost your energy．Stand up and pace while you talk on the phone or, even better, take a ten-minute walk outside 36 The activity and sunlight are good for your focus，your mood，and the reservation of information. Plus，because of “emotional infection'’，if you act energetic，you’ll help the peopIe around you feel energetic，too．2 37Take ten minutes to think about all the things in your life that are going right，about all the things that other people do to help you，about all the things that you're thankful for. In the disorder of everyday life，it’s very easy to focus on the negative and to lose sight of what really matters．3．Reach out to friends．38__ Having warm，close bonds with other people is the KEY to happiness，so take the time to stay in touch. Somewhat surprisingly, socializing boosts the moods not only of extroverts(外向者),but also of introverts(内向者)。

Most young architects—particularly those in big cities—can only dream about working in a building of their own。
And making that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want，which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner,Brian Bell。
Their building is a former automobile electrical-parts firm in Atlanta。
From the outside,it looks too old，even something horrible,but open the door and you are in a wide，open courtyard,lined on three sides with rusting （生锈的）walls。
In 2000，Yocum and Bell found this building in the city’s West End。
Built in 1947，the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down。
But the price was right，so Yocum bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition (拆除)，pulling rubbish out through the roof,because it was too dangerous to go inside the building。

Please follow the following suggestions:Make sure you're well prepared before filming your movie, as not being prepared might just waste your resources, such as your video tapes.Before shooting a scene, make sure that your video camera is charged up and is ready to run. Having a spare battery is a good idea.If you are bad at introductions and conclusions, then think of the end first, and begin the movie in the same place, or vice-versa（反之亦然）.Add music, but not illegally. In other words, you can put music in, but don't give out copies. If you do, you will have to use non-copyrighted material or contact someone to get permission. No matter where you are there is always independent musicians that would love to have their songs in your movie. and lighting is very important: Good sound (easily understanding the person speaking without hearing the photographer breathing, or street noise, for example) is critical. Good lighting makes the video/movie watchable. Excellent "Predicting lighting " include: Dusk or early morning, a foggy or overcast day, and shade (but only when there is a darker background.) A white poster board can be used to bounce(弹回) light to the shaded side of the face.Here are a few camera pointers to consider: Vary the shots for interest, but vary the type of shots, between wide, medium and close-up(特写). Too many close-ups in a row is in disorder. Start with a wide Establishing Shot (so the audience knows where the action is taking place and what time of day, year or millennium（千年期）it is), then vary medium and close-up shots. Keep strange point of view (POV) shots to a minimum unless you are trying to surprise the viewer. 2801. Which one is the best title for this passage?A. To add music, but not illegally.B. Some camera pointers to consider.C. Some advice on filming a movie.D. To try to surprise the viewer.2. The word charged up may mean______.A. To count cost.B. To put electricity into a battery.C. To accuse.D. To check out.3. Why do we add music illegally? BecauseA. Music is illlegal.B. Music is owned by the government.C. Any music isn’ t allowed into it.D. It is involved in the copyright problems.4. Why is lighting very important?A. Lighting gives people electricity.B. It makes films appear watchable.C. Lighting gives people light.D. Lighting can make more films.5. The reasons for not using too many close-ups in rows is______..A. It makes no sense.B. It is very tiring.C. It can be used once.D. It can cause confusion.本文为说明文。

Inside their one-store, metal-roofed house on Vancouver Island’s west coast，Janet Schwartz and her domesticated(驯养的) deer, Bimbo, are returning to their normal lives. The law-represented by men and women dressed in black uniforms and carrying guns — is no longer threatening to forcibly separate Schwartz and Bimbo，freeing the l0-year-old deer to the fates (命运) of the surrounding rainforest and its hungry wolves and black bears．“We love each other，”said Schwartz who turned 70 on Saturday. “she’ll come up to me and she’ll kiss me right on the lips，like a man kisses a woman’’For four days last week，Schwartz’ life turned as rocky as the rough logging road that connected her life to the outside world. Conservation officers had arrived with orders to loose Bimbo. Schwartz was told she wasn’t allowed to touch Bimbo any more. It seemed somebody had complained，said Environment Minister Terry Lake earlier in the week, noting it’s illegal to keep wild animals as pets.During those tense days，sleepless nights were made even more restless by nightmares，said Schwartz. There were news stories and Facebook pages which supported Schwartz and by Friday，the government had changed its mind. Schwartz could keep her pet with the help of a veterinarian and conservation officers.“It makes me feel good，”said Schwartz of the announcement．“She is my life．and I’ve had her since the day she’s been born.”The relationship began when a friend found the orphaned fawn (幼鹿) along a nearby logging road，more than a kilometer away from her current home，said Schwartz. The friend brought the fawn over because she knew Schwartz had raised a deer before. Schwartz named the fawn(小鹿) Bimbo，based on a Gene Autry song that was playing inside her home at the time，and began feeding the animal goat’s milk. Days turned into months and years, and now Bimbo is a part of the family.1. According to Paragraph 1 , Janet Schwartz’s life is returning to normal becauseA. no one disturbs her life againB. she can continue to keep the deerC. she has married againD. Bimbo has returned to the forest2. Why didn’t Schwartz want to loose the deer?A. It was the only companion in her houseB. She wanted to study the lifestyle of the deer．C. The deer had become part of her life．D. She had a veterinarian to help her．3. Conservation officers ordered Janet to loose Bimbo becauseA. the deer was not properly taken care ofB. the deer brought harm to the neighborhoodC. it was against the law to keep the deer as a petD. the deer made too much noise4. What made the government change its mind?A. Schwartz’s love for the deer.B. The threat to the deer in the wild.C. The change of the law.D. The influence from the press and the Web. 参考答案1--4 BCCD阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

They already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia（痴呆） or Alzheimer's．Alzheimer's can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing or drinking enough water．The dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers（触发器） in the home that cause them to perform tasks．The duties will include reminding their owners to take medicine, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep regularly．The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer's Scotland and Dogs for the Disabled．The first dogs will be distributed to four Scottish couples, where one of the partners is in the early stages of dementia．Some 670,000 people in Britain have dementia and one in three over 65s will develop the condition．By 2021 this is expected to rise to one million．Joyce Gray of Alzheimer's Scotland said, "People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine．" Another advantage of using the pets as companions is that dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship．Ms Gray said, "The evidence is that people may forget familiar faces but not pets．It's such a strong bond that people often remember them longest．People don't need to communicate verbally （言语地） but they can still interact．You can have a speechless bond．"Helen McCain, director of Dogs for the Disabled, said, "People with dementia often forget to take the medicine．If a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it there's a greater chance of them taking it．The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people．" 1．In Britain people with dementia _ _．A．are likely to increase in number B．are mostly over 65 years oldC．will be trained to respond to sound triggers D．will be able to live a relatively normal life2．The dogs are taught to perform tasks by -．A．making some sound signals B．communicating with the patientsC．reminding the patients by barking D．reacting to some sound triggers 3．What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．Faces．B．Triggers． C．Pets．D．Companions．4．What is mainly talked about in the passage?A．The idea of dementia dogs was developed by students．B．Dogs are trained to assist Alzheimer's patients．C．British people with Alzheimer's are in poor condition．D．The dementia dogs perform most duties of a doctor．参考答案1—4、BCBD阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

湖南长沙市2016高考英语（二轮）阅读理解训练（50）阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
体裁：议论文话题：健康生活时间：7分钟A new study suggests you are where you live—at least in terms of weight.A rural address could be a risk factor for being overweight，according to the research published in the fall issue of The Journal of Rural Health.The study，led by researchers at the University of Kansas，analyzed data from the National Center for Health Statistics.They said it is the first in more than 30 years to use actual measurements of height and weight，rather than selfreported data，which can be unreliable.About 70 million Americans，or 23% of the population，live in rural areas.The researchers found that 39.6% of them are obese(肥胖的)，while 33.4% of urban residents are obese.Including overweight people as well，the comparative totals are 70.8% and 67.1%，the study said.The factors at work could be the “cultural diet” of rural America，as well as the isolation(隔离) that often exists，said the lead researcher，Christie Befort，assistant professor of preventive medicine and public health at the University of Kansas Medical Center.That diet includes “rich homemade foods” with lots of meat and desserts，she said.Rural Americans typically consume more fats than their urban counterparts，the study found.Another factor could be the increased mechanization(机械化) of farm work，Befort said.Older generations showed less difference in weight than younger ones—older farmers would have put in more physical labor，she said.“Although some intervention(介入) research has begun to address obesity among rural adults and families，great attention needs to be focused on widespread effective programs in rural areas，which contain some of the largest medically underserved communities in the nation，” the researchers said.【语篇导读】肥胖症的研究有了新的发现——居住地也是造成肥胖症的重要因素。
39.6%的美国乡下居民患有肥胖症，这与油腻的饮食、农场机械化、落后的医疗服务等有很大的关系。
1．What do we know about the study about weight in the passage?A．The new study is the first study of rural obesity in the past 30 years. B．The new study is the first time to research into the cause of obesity.C．Results in the past years can be inaccurate as they haven't adopted actual measurements.D．The result of the new study is not reliable at all.解析推理判断题。
根据第三段可知，这个研究分析了国家健康中心的数据，是近30年来第一次使用身高和体重的实际测量数据，而不是使用未必可靠的“自我报告的数据(selfreported data)”，从这些信息可推知，过去的研究数据不是很准确，不太可靠。
因此选C。
答案 C2．What do we know from the fourth paragraph?A．The rural population in America has increased by 23%.B．About 27.72 million rural Americans have the problem of obesity.C．Obese people have moved to live in the countryside for its natural environment. D．23% of the 70 million Americans live in the countryside.解析推理判断题。
第四段说美国人口的23%，即七千万美国人，住在农村，其中39.6%是肥胖者，因此B正确(39.6%×70 million＝27.72 million)。
C项文章未提及，A、D项均是对第四段第一句话的曲解。
答案 B3．What does the report suggest to deal with the problem?A．Calling on the farmers to do more physical work.B．Paying attention to widespread effective programs in rural areas.C．Getting farmers connected with each other.D．Persuading people to move to the urban area.解析细节理解题。
根据最后一段可知，研究者认为应该更关注向农村——那里有医疗服务极其低下的地区——推广有效的项目，由此推断选B。
答案 B4．What does the underlined word“address” in the last paragraph mean?A．deal with B．write downC．refer to D．cure解析猜测词义题。
最后一段研究员介绍了如何应对肥胖问题，因此该词的含义应该是“对付，处理”，而不是“治疗”。
答案 A【长难句解读】原文“Although some inte rvention(介入) research has begun to address obesity among rural adults and families，great attention needs to be focused on widespread effectiveprograms in rural areas，which contain some of the largest medically underserved communities in the nation，” the r esearchers said.译文研究者称：“尽管已经开始了一些介入性的研究来解决乡村成年人与家庭的肥胖问题，但也需要关注向乡村地区大范围地推广有效的项目，在乡村有些地方医疗水平极其低下。
”分析Although在句中引导让步状语从句，which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词rural areas。
