2014高考英语冲刺阅读理解专项(含解析)2份 50-16
2014高考英语冲刺阅读理解专项（含解析）2份50-16ATelepathy is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses.It’s an instinct which can be woken up in times of emergency or need. When we feel that something is happening or about to happen by instinct, we’re using resources wihtin the unconscious mind. When the resources of two persons’ unconscious minds think link together into the same frequency. We call it telepathy.We can either send or receive telepathy. If you know who is calling before you answer the ringing phone, you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a person, and they call you, you are most likely better at sending.You can easily put your abilities to the test. Think of somebody and will them to contact you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver, but they should contact you much earlier than would normally be expected. Or whenever the phone rings, try "feeling" who's contacting you. Don't guess, try to feel the vibrations. However, if neither of these work for you, that doesn't mean that you are not capable of telepathy. As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency.Telepathic Dreams often contain telepathic messages. Two people may both dream of the other, and find that their dreams have a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each other’s uncounscious mind.Telepathy&Relationships The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the others mind, especially when separated.There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand the others, mind through time spent together；the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate. A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the child desperately wanting his/her mother, knowing that this is the person who would always want to be there for them, and the mothers deep desire to protect her child from harm.1. When does telepathy occur?A. It occurs when one senses that a close friend of his/her is in danger.B. It occurs when one has very good five senses.C. It occurs when one wants to call his/her best friend.D. It occurs when one doesn’t know a stranger.答案解析：答案为A。

2014年全国高考最后抢分冲刺 阅读填空专练
阅读填空专项练习(一)We all see and hear about extraordinary people and wonder why we can’t be like them.It’s not the big things but small things that make someone extraordinary.1. 1Just because you’re the boss doesn’t mean you are right every time. Learn to backup your ideas or decisions with reason. Use logic to explain things, not authority. By doing this your decisions might invite criticism, but you will also get an opportunityto improve.2. They are generous with praise. Remember the time when you worked really hard butgot nothing in return. 2 So every chance you get to praise someone, do it.3. They are helpful. Never hesitate to help someone. 3 Be specific: “I hadthe same problem with this coffee machine in the morning. I think I have figured a wayto make it work.”4. They apologize when needed.We all make mistakes, but what makes a person big is that he is ready to apologize.4 Don’t try to shift the blame. Just come out and say you’re sorry.5. They’re in cha rge of their emotions.Sometimes it is very important to stay silent, especially when you’re angry. You don’t want to end up saying things you didn’t really mean to. 5 Never be rash (轻率的) with words or actions.A. They are open to criticism.B. Don’t try to hide behind excuses.C. It hurts when your efforts are not recognized.D. Before you say anything, consider others’ feelings.E. Give the person in front of you a smile and thank him or her.F. When you don’t understand how something works, let an expert show you.G. Don’t say something not clear like, “Can I help you?” because they might say, “No, I’m good.”(二)Do you have a habit of starting projects, but not finishing them? If so, you are not alone. 1 How to finish the projects you start? Here is my best tips.1. Be selective in what you engage in.When you start on a project, make sure it is something you are enthusiastic about.I took up things which I was half interested in in the past. Eventually I stopped themmid-way. 2 Because of that, I’m more conscious of how I use my time and energytoday.2. Track your progress.Tracking your progress helps you understand how you’re doing and gives you a targetto reach. This makes it easier to keep up with your momentum (势头). 3 Specify your KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) that you want to achieve.3. Celebrate what you’ve done so far.Sometimes you get discouraged. It seems like no matter how much time you spend, it’s impossible to finish it. 4 Give yourself a big hug. Celebrate the process, the completion, everything.4. Don’t force it if it’s really not working out.Sometimes, it just happens that you lose interest in the goal. You change; your interests change, and you get new ideas. 5 Because it just prevents more goodness from coming your way.A. Don’t try to hold on to what you’ve done.B. Actually everything you’ve done so far is an accomplishment!C. Create a proje ct sheet that records your targets and your current status.D. That means doing a plan on how much time and effort this idea will take.E. The easiest way to complete the projects is to be flexible in your project management.F. This resulted in a waste of time and resources which could have been better used elsewhere.G. Many people have a habit of starting projects but not finishing them, which isa very bad practice.(三)We often close ourselves off when unfortunate events happen in our lives. We try to forget the pain by pretending it doesn’t exist, but although we can try all this we want,in the end, we can’t hide from ourselves. 1 Here are some ways you can open your heart more fully.1. Breathe into painWhenever a painful situation arises, try to accept it instead of running away. 2 By using our breath we soften our experiences.2. Embrace the uncomfortable3 We know how fear feels in our bodies: the tension in our necks, the tightnessin our stomachs, etc. We can face these feelings of discomfort and let them show us where we need to go.3. Spe nd time aloneFor most of our lives we’re surrounded by people: our friends, colleagues, peers,family members, loved ones, and strangers. How often do we really spend time alone? 4 You can truly open yourself and explore whatever you’d like. The golden ticket here is not to let yourself become distracted; just see what it’s like to be alone.4. Get outside of yourselfThis may seem a little contradictory to the last tip. 5 After you’ve explored the depths of yourself, you come away with a new understanding. Now, it’s time to share that — not through telling others, but through being with others.A. We all know what anxiety feels like.B. However, in reality they work hand in hand.C. We need to learn to open our hearts to the potential of life.D. When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and face up to it.E. You’ll add a new layer of depth and understanding into your life.F. Lose yourself in the beauty of others; see what they can teach you about yourse lf.G. When you spend time in solitude (独自) you’re free from the influences of other people.(四)If you think about your circle of friends and family members, you can certainly pick out one or more people who are not good listeners. 1 If you’re fortunate, that person is a good friend, a loved one or a teacher.All too often, we associate the benefits of good listening skills with achieving very specific outcomes, like following the boss’s orders (aimed at getting a job promotion).2 We think of them as something basic, which we mastered in our formal schooling, along with dictation and obeying instructions, etc. This is a shame. We should know listening skills are the focus of lifetime learning and development, related to our communication skills.3 All of these occur because two people or groups don’t listen to each other. We don’t analyze the root problem, or work on improvement steps.We still tend to treat listening skills the way we treat learning to walk: we think that once we’ve acquired them, we’ve got them. We are rea dy to move on to the next thing. Wrong. 4Poor listening skills often damage effective dialogue between people. 5 If we were able to reduce misunderstandings in our conversations by 20-30%, there would be benefits in efficiency and the elimination (消除) of tiresome repetition.A. However, think about the upside potential.B. We’re surrounded by this kind of outcome.C. We tend to undervalue the importance of our listening skills.D. Think about the number of failures, misunderstandings and arguments.E. Equally you can think of someone you know who is a very good listener.F. The challenge of listening is determining when the speaker wants a response or advice.G. The problem is that people and language are far more complex than the roads we travel on.(五)Travelling is a very enjoyable experience as it provides an opportunity to see new things. 1 The following article discusses the advantages of traveling.Traveling gives you the opportunity to disconnect from your regular life. People all have crazy schedules, work and a family to take care of, and traveling alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps even make you realize how important these people are to you. 2Another grea t benefit is the relaxation you get. 3 When you come back you feel energetic and you are happy to be back to your daily routine.4 They will create a bond that nothing can erase no matter what happens to the friendship/relationship. You can create photo albums and when you feel nostalgic (对往事怀恋的) you can experience the trips again b y looking at your pictures.It’s never been this cheap to travel. With increasing oil prices the cheap travel era might be coming to an end. 5 With the Internet and all the new technology, you can plan your trip exactly the way you want it. You can choose your budget, the duration of the trip and what you want to do.A.It’s nice to enjoy a stress-free time.B. As the saying goes, you never know what you have until you lose it.C. When traveling with friends or family it creates memories of a lifetime.D. Discovering different values and ways to get by in life is really interesting.E. Going on a trip means that you are most likely going to spend time outside.F. However, there are still many budget airlines fighting for your dollar right now.G. There are many benefits other than enjoying yourself that can be realized when you travel.(六)Experiencing moments of jealousy at some time or other in your life is a very routine thing. 1 Maybe your peers are doing better than you. Or sometimes your sister probably has just achieved what you never could but always wanted to. Try out the following to deal with jealousy:Try to list the reasons for your jealous feeling. Are you jealous because a colleague got a promotion that you thought you deserved and wanted? Or is it something else? Whatever the reason, take a few days off to stay away from the situation to calm your mind. Askyourself why you get jealous and what you can do to win what the other person won. 2 Try to change the way you think. Jealous people tend to compare themselves to others too much. Learn to accept the fact that everyone is different and everyone eventually has their day. 34 Jealousy is a negative emotion and feeling. If you feel it boiling within you, calm your mind and think of positive, happy things inste ad. Once your mind is fullof jealous thoughts, you will get so deep into it that you won’t even realize how bitter you have become as a person.Learn to appreciate others for who they are and what they have done. Jealous people sometimes like people who do not perform as well as expected. 5 It is better to respect everyone and to get along with people who have earned or achieved more than you.A. Learn to be positive.B. Put yourself in their shoes.C. So learn to accept and to forget.D. For some, it comes early in life and for some, later.E. They feel better about themselves in front of such people.F. There are many things that may lead to feelings of jealousy.G. Once you get your answer, you will eventually reach your goal for sure.(七)Are you someone who you think is a little too dependent? Well, you can become independent. 1 For one thing, you’ll have more freedom to do stuff. Another benefit is that you can have some quality private time. Read on to learn how to be independent.Accept yourself. You cannot build a strong, independent you if you can’t live with yourself. Accept your personality, your opinions, your choices, and your preferences.2 Make an effort to be a better you, and most importantly, love yourself!3 This is a difficult step on the journey to independent living, but you must start doing things on your own. Go shopping alone, and spend at least one or two eveningsa week by yourself. Work on activities that force you to lead, not follow.Save money. Save as much as reasonably possible. This will help you create an emergency fund, since life can be unpredictable at times. Improve the quality of your life by putting aside a set amount of money each month. 4Realize and accept that life sometimes seems unfair. Our parents care for us so much that they do everything in their power to raise us in a fair and just environment. 5 You will be treated badly for all sorts of unfair things: your skin color, your intelligence, your height, and so on. You have to be happy in spite of that.A. Try not to care what others think.B. Leave your friends and family at home.C. There are many benefits of being independent.D. Put behind you your mistakes and learn from them.E. However, the real world does not function on this principle.F. You don’t have to throw away your friends to be independent.G. There are such things as accidents, which can occur when you least expect them.(八)Whether you have a toddler (刚学会走路的孩子) or a teen, here are several good strategies to improve nutrition and encourage healthy eating habits.The best way to encourage healthy eating is to eat well yourself. 1 By eating fruit and vegetables and not overindulging (溺爱) in the less nutritious stuff, you’ll be sending the right message.2 Talk about your feelings of fullness, especially with younger children. You might say, “This is delicious, but I’m full, so I’m going to stop eating.” Simila rly, parents who are always dieting or complaining about their bodies may foster these same negative feelings in their kids. Try to keep a positive attitude towards food.Don’t battle over food. 3 Well-intentioned parents might find themselves bargaining with kids. A better strategy is to give kids some control and to limit the kind of food available at home. Kids should decide if they are hungry and when they are full. 4Get kids involved. Most kids will enjoy deciding what to make for dinner. 5 Some might even want to help shop for ingredients and prepare the meal. At the store, teach kids to check out food labels to begin understanding what to look for.A. Get kids to attach importance to each meal.B. It’s easy for food to become a sou rce of conflict.C. School lunches can be another learning lesson for kids.D. Kids will follow the lead of the adults they see every day.E. Talk to them about making choices and planning a balanced meal.F. Another way to be a good role model is to serve appropriate portions and not to overeat.G. Parents control what food is available to the child, both at mealtimes and between meals.(九)Now we know that brains can grow, adapt to change, regardless of your age. To learn a new skill you’ve got to create the new circuits in the brain that support the behavior required by the skill. 1 And it’s also linked to improved memory and cognition. Then how to improve your brain power?One way to do that is to mix things up a bit. When we do the same thing every day, those mental circuits become well-established. Impulses (神经冲动) easily fly along them.2 This feels uncomfortable to us, but exciting to the brain.Even driving a new route home from work, trying a new recipe or taking on a new workout routine can fire up our brain. 3Making use of your five senses is another way to improve your brain power. It is suggested that you get dressed with your eyes closed or listen to music while smelling the roses. 4 Wash your hair with your eyes closed.In the beginning any change is going to be uncomfortable. 5 They haven’t formed a map to guide the impulses down the new path. This is when we feel like our brains will explode. But once the new route is constructed, the unfamiliar and difficult skill will become easy.A. This usually takes a long time.B. Brush your teeth with your opposite hand.C. That is because our brains can’t read the change.D. First, we must gradually get used to that change.E. This process leads to brain growth, better overall health.F. But when we add something new and unfamiliar, our brains need to develop new circuits.G. The brain then gets busy creating new circuits to help us adapt to our new environment or task.参考答案：(一) 1-5 ACGBD (二) 1-5 GFCBA (三) 1-5 CDAGB (四) 1-5 ECDGA (五) 1-5 GBACF(六) 1-5 FGDAE (七) 1-5 CDBGE (八) 1-5 DFBGE (九) 1-5 EFGBC。

2014高考英语疯狂冲刺倒计时阅读理解综合考查(限时30分钟)AThreequarters of a million tourists flock to the white beaches every year, but this booming industry has come at a price. Poisonous smoke rising from open fires, rubbish made up of plastic bottles, packets...it's_a_far_cry_from the white sands, clear waters and palm trees that we associate with the Maldives(马尔代夫), the paradise island holiday destination set in the Indian Ocean.Of its 200 inhabited islands, which are spread across an area of 35,000 square miles, 99 are good resorts(度假胜地). So many tourists come every year, more than double the local population. Of these tourists, over 100,000 travel from the UK. The capital, Malé， is four times more densely populated than London. Given these facts, it's hardly surprising that the Maldives has a waste disposal problem.Years ago, when the tourists left, the government had to deal with a stream of rubbish. Their solution was to turn one of the islands into a dumping ground. Four miles west of Malé is the country's dumping gr ound, Thilafushi. What you are seeing here is a view of the Maldives on which no honeymooners will ever clap eyes. Each visitor produces 3.5 kg of waste per day. The country dumps more than 330 tons of rubbish on the island every day.Now, since many waste boats, fed up with waiting seven hours or more, directly offload their goods into the sea, the government of the Maldives has banned the dumping of waste on the island. So, the waste boats ship the rubbish to India instead.本文介绍了美丽的岛国马尔代夫的污染现状以与垃圾的处理情况。

2014高考英语阅读理解冲刺全程训练〔14〕与答案阅读理解请认真阅读如下短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最优选项。
AWe know the famous ones—the Thomas Edison and the Alexander Graham Bells —but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)？Shouldn’t we know who they are?Joan Mclean thinks so. In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at MountainUniversity in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that she’s developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning “who〞 inv ented “what〞, however, Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why〞 and 〞how〞questions. According to Mclean,〞 When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.〞So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn’t be a built-in device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever(操作杆)on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations，It’s hard to imagine driving without Garrett AMorgan’s traffic light. It’s equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett’s innovation that makes glass invisible, Canyou picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?( ) 1. By mentioning “traffic light〞and “windshield wiper〞, the author indicates that countless inventions are .A. beneficial, because their inventors are famousB. beneficial, though their inventors are less famousC. not useful, because their inventors are less famousD. not useful, though their inventors are famous( ) 2. Professor Joan McLean’s course aims to_____.A. add color and variety to students’ campus lifeB. inform students of the windshield wiper’s inventionC. carry out the requirements by MountainUniversityD. prepare students to try their own invention( ) 3. Tommy Lee’s invention of the unbreakable umbrella was _________.A. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producerB. inspired by the story behind the windshield wiperC. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstormD. not related to Professor Joan McLean’s lectures( ) 4. Which 0f the following can best serve as the title of this passage?A How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?B How to Design a Built-in Device for Cleaning the Window?C Shouldn’t We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?D Shouldn’t We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?A篇第一篇文章是关于生活中离不开小发明，鼓励年轻人要善于把握发明的契机，推动社会的进步。

Ⅱ.阅读理解AWhenever anyone measures educational success, East Asian countries are always top scorers. But in a recent league table, a European country, Finland, was top of the class. South Korea was still in second place, though. Britain was at number 6.In Korea the school day is long—typically 7 or 8 hours, followed by hours of private tutoring in the evenings. All_this_hothousing leaves Korean students so tired, they sometimes fall asleep in class next day. Worries about the effects of late night cramming(考试的突击准备) led the government to force cramming schools to close by 10 p．m. Finnish children spend the least time in class in the developed world, often finishing just after lunch, with about one hour of ho mework a day. Private tuition is uncommon. The British and American school day is quite long in comparison, around 6 hours, and secondary school pupils do 2 or 3 hours of selfstudy a night.The Korean education system, like many in Asia, is intensely competitive, with students even competing to get into the best cramming schools, to help them get ahead. Finnish education is far less cutthroat. Classes are all mixed ability, and there are no league tables. British schools again occupy the middle ground, with quite high levels of competition for places at university, and schools and universities battling to come top of league tables for everything from exam results to student satisfaction. Korea and Finland both do well, yet their education systems are so different. However, there are some similarities between Korea and Finland. In those countries, teachers have high status in society, and education is very highly valued. Those attitudes can't c hange quickly. But it can be done. They might be the star pupils now, but until the 1970s, Finland's education system was poor. Their thoroughly different approach to schooling has taken them to the top in just a generation. 文章介绍了最新全球教育成就排名，芬兰第一、韩国第二，并对一些国家的教育制度进行了比较。
