2014高考英语二轮阅读理解基础精品训练题(17)及答案

2014高考英语二轮阅读理解基础精品训练题（17）及答案阅读理解—-———AI was helping in my son’s classroom when I spotted a poster that reads，“Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can break my heart”. I started thinking。

Teachers are such an important part of a child's lif e. A teacher’s support determines how safe a child feels in school. His inspiration determines how much risk a child will take in the classroom, his understanding determines how important a child feels in school and his love determines a child’s motivating and attitude toward education。

And the effect a teacher has on a child doesn't end when the school bell rings at the end of the day. Rather，those feelings developed in the classroom go home with the child and，in a large part, determine what sort of evening the child and the family have。

The importance of a teacher to a child is fantastic and cannot be over-emphasized。

2014高考英语阅读理解巩固练习(17)及答案

2014高考英语阅读理解巩固练习(17）及答案阅读理解One of my favorite posters says，“Life is a test. It is only a test. Had this been a real life, you would have been instructed where to go and what to do。

" Whenever I think of this humorous bit of wisdom, it reminds me to not take my life so seriously.When you look at life and its many challenges as a test, or series of tests, you begin to see each issue （问题，困拢）you face as an opportunity to grow，a chance to discover more about life。

Whether you're being bombarded with problems, responsibilities，even insurmountable（不能超越的）difficulties, when looked at as a test，you always have a chance to succeed，in the sense of rising above that which is challenging you。

If，on the other hand，you see each new issue you face as a serious battle that must be won in order to survive，you’re probably in for a very rocky6 journey。

A body discovered three years after his disappearance in 2000 was thought to be the pensioner( a retired person), but i t’s now emerged(显出) it wasn’t.When John Delaney disappeared, he was spending much of his time living outside, and sleeping on the streets. He was last se en in a hosted in Manchester. His family searched the streets of the city for him but had no luck. So when a badly-rotten body was found in the grounds of the Manchester Royal I nfirmary in 2003, wearing similar clothes, police belived it was Mr Delaney and his family held a funeral.But earlier this year his son, John Renehan, saw a picture of his father on a BBC programme.An appeal was being made for anyone who knew the man — who had memory loss—to give information.John Renehan:Well I knew at that very moment that was my dad. I knew at t hat very moment. Obviously his face, it was a bit changed, but I just knew at that very moment that was my dad. It emerged tha t John Delaney had been living in a care home for the last eight years.Police have admitted they made mistakes and their enquiries were insufficient. Mr Delaney’s son now wants to know the ide ntity of the man he cremated — thinking it was his father.61. John Renehan cremated his “father”____________.A. in 2003B. in 2000C. in 2005D. in 2 00862.

Which of the following is the best title?A. A Badly-rotten BodyB. Missing BodyC. Missing FatherD. Dead FatherDo your kids like plastic toys? Well, I guess it’s time for them to play with wooden toys.I have always liked kids’ wooden toys since I was five. I alwa ys ran along on the back of a hobby horse pretending to be a c owboy from the West when I was a little boy. Now I’m a dad an d I still like buying these timeless natural wooden toys. They will never be out of style. My daughter has a child’ rocking horse, a nd my two sons have wooden trains and cars. The great thing a bout his type of toys is that they will last generations if they are t reated kindly. Even if they break, most of the time they can be r epaired using spare parts bought from wooden-toy makers, and if the part is not too complicated, you yourself c an make the part from a piece of wood.What if they do break and can’t be repaired? Well, at least th ey can be dealt with without having any bad effects on the envir onment. They can be turned into wood chippings and used for p athways in the country or play areas for kids. Even if the wooden toy is buried as rubbish, which is very rare these days, it will n ot harm the soil or the environment.I like all types of wooden toys. There is such a wide variety of wooden toys today and the choice is getting bigger day by day. As an alternative to plastic toys, wooden toys can’t be beaten. I ’m sure in the near future wood will no doubt become the numb er one material for making toys, as plastic becomes more and more expensive because if rising oil prices and the environment al issues concerning plastic. Plastic toys might harm kids’ healt h, too.66. Why does the author say wooden toys are timeless?A. Because wooden toys can be repaired easily.B. Because wooden toys do not cost much.C.

According to the author, wooden toys which can’t be repaired will ______.A. be taken back by the makers.B. need a lot of money to deal with.C. not harm the environment.D. be collected by collecto rs.68.

2014高考英语阅读理解抓分练习(17）及答案阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给四个选项(A、B、、C、D）中，选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.AIf you have ever been rock climbing，you will know that it is not a very easy sport. In fact，you probably felt quite defeated when you first tried to do any serious climbing。

Indoor and outdoor rock climbing are both extremely hard and require practice to get good at。

It is one of the most physically and mentally difficult sports。

Believe it or not, climbing is said to be about 75％legs and only 25％arms. To climb efficiently and successfully，a person needs to have a wonderful technique。

One of the major rules of rock climbing is to always have three points touching the wall，whether it is both feet and one hand，or one foot and both hands, as it is much easier to have your weight rest on three points than on two. Another important idea to grasp is that your arms in most cases will do the climbing; they only hold you into the wall so that your legs are actually pushing you upward。

2014高考英语阅读理解基础练习精品题(17)及答案

2014高考英语阅读理解基础练习精品题（17)及答案阅读理解Housing price in China has always caused heated discussions among property（房产）developers and ordinary Chinese. To many property developers and local government officials，housing price in China is still low compared with many developed countries. However，the average housing price in the United States is only 8,000 yuan per square meter，while in China, it is even higher than in the United States. This shows that there are some bubbles（泡沫）in Chinese real estate market，the International Finance News reported。

Although the average price of residential houses in the United States, after converted to Renminbi, is about 8，000 yuan per square meter，the houses in US are not sold in terms of building area，as most Chinese property developers do when they sell their houses。

If US property developers sell their houses according to the building area, then the housing price will be even lower than 8,000 yuan per square meter. In most big Chinese cities，such as Beijing，Shanghai, and Shenzhen, houses are sold at a price even higher than those in the US.The high housing sales price in large cities in China proves that Chinese real estate market does have some bubbles. Moreover，Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in US in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities。

I also love my laptop computer，as it holds all of my writing and thoughts.Despite this love of tec hnology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these device(设备) and truly communicate with others. On occasion，I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher edu cation managers. My goals for the class include a full discussio n of historical themes and ideas.Because I want students to tho roughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each o ther in the classroom，I have a rule—no laptops, iPads, phones, etc.When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpl easant experiences in the past with students misusing technolo gy. There's a bit of truth to that.Some students assume that I a m antitechnology. There's no truth in that at all. I love technolog y and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the d oor is that I think there are very few places in which we can hav e deep conversations and truly engage complex ideas.

I want them to push each other to think differently and to make con nections between course material and the class discussion.I've been teaching my history class in this way for many years a nd the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environm ent that I create.Students realize that with deep conversation an d challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the cour se material beyond the classroom.I'm not saying that I won't ever change my mind about technolo gy use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason f or the change，I'm sticking to my plan.

These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an u nderstanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数)and beyond.The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmeti c. They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to lear ning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathemat ical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how th ese operations can be used practically.Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradu ally moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. Thelectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathem atical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They al so help students prepare for college mathematics and overcom e their anxiety about this amazing—and completely understandable—field of study.By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved th eir understanding of basic math. They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their a bility to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges. Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Televisi on as “the best math teacher in America”， is a devoted teache r and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways th at make them seem clear and obvious. From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is a master in making math lectures learnerfriendlier and less scary.With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State Univ ersity, Dr. Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona Colle ge.

高中英语真题-2014高考英语(2013暑假)阅读理解训练(17)及答案解析

高中英语真题:2014高考英语（2013暑假）阅读理解训练（17）及答案解析(二)People have been acting like people—in other words, they’ve been making tools, creating ceremonies, and sharing food—for a long time. That’s the conclusion of a recent study from So uth Africa’s southern coast.There, in a cave lying above the sea, researchers from Arizona State University have found evidence that humans were behavi ng in surprisingly complex ways as early as 164,000 years ago. Our species, Homo sapiens, appeared an estimated 200,000 y ears ago.The cave held three important clues about the behavior of thes e Stone Age people.First, the researchers found the remains of all kinds of shellfish. The people who lived in the cave probably collected these crea tures from rocky shores and tide pools and brought them to the cave to eat.The researchers propose the early Africans moved to the South African coast between 195,000 and 130,000 years ago. Aroun d that time, the climate inland turned relatively cold and dry. Th erefore, there were fewer plants and animals to eat away from t he coast.When these ancient people moved to the coast, they probably e xperienced a major cultural shift, the researchers suspect. That’s because observations of modern huntergatherer societies sug gest that men are more likely to hunt for big animals when peop le live inland. On the coast, women play a more important role i n providing food by gathering plants and shellfish.As for the second clue, the researchers unearthed 57 pieces of reddish pigment(颜料). The researchers think that the cave habitants used the pain t for coloring their bodies or for other ceremonies. Symbolic beh avior is a clearly human feature.Finally, the search discovered over 1,800 stone tools, including wellcrafted blades(刀片). These blades came in various sizes. The smallest were just less than a halfinch wide. Ancient people may have attached th ese blades to the end of a stick to make spears or other tools.

2014高考英语阅读理解巩固精品题练习（17）及答案阅读理解Violin prodigies （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 all Jews 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 to nurture(培育) talent。

AI was parked in front of the mall wiping off my car．I had just come from the car wash and was waiting for my wife to get out of work．Coming my way from across the parking lot was what society would consider a bum．From the looks of him，he had no car, no home, no clean clothes，and no money．There are times when you feel generous but there are other times that you just don’t want to be bothered．This was one of those “don't want to be bothered times”．“ I hope he doesn't ask me for any money，” I thought．He didn’t．He came and sat on the edge of the pavement in front of the bus stop but he didn'tlook like he could have enough money to even ride the bus．After a few minutes he spoke．“That's a very pretty car,” he said．He was in rags but he had an air of dignity around him．His badly—grown blond beard kept more than his face warm．I said, “thanks，” and continued wiping off my car．He sat there quietly as I worked．The expected plea（乞求）for money never came．As the silence between us widened, something inside said, “ask him if he needs any help．” I was sure that he would say “yes" but I held true to the inner voice．“Do you need any help？” I aske d．He answered in three simple words that I shall never forget．We often look for wisdom in great men and women．We expect it from those of higher learning and achievements．I expected nothing but an outstretched dirty hand．He spoke the three words that shook me．“Don't we all?” he said．56. Why did the writer parked his car before the mall?A。
