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高考英语阅读理解冲刺满分训练阅读理解----（A）Every day we experience one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it. It is not the amazing complexity of television, nor the impressive technology of transport. The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noise without mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other's minds. This ability comes so naturally that we tend to forget what a miracle (奇迹) it is.Obviously, the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animal. Of course, some animals have powers just as amazing, Birds can fly thousands miles by \observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year. In Nature's talent show, humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act. If we reduce it to basic terms, it's an ability for communicating information to others, by varying sounds we make as we breathe out.Not that we don't have other powers of communication. Our facial expressions convey our emotions, such as anger, or joy, or disappointment. The way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad. This is so-called "body language". Bristling (直立的) fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals. Similarly, the bowed head or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals, including human beings, instinctively acquire and display. Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct? If so, how did human beings acquire this amazing skills ? Biologist can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function, but this doesn't tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history.本文是介绍关于人类使用语言的能力的说明文, 主要阐述人区分动物的特殊能力及其相似性。

2014高考英语阅读理解冲刺全程训练(14)

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。

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。

高中英语真题:2014高考英语最后冲刺阅读理解提升练习5阅读理解----AFew laws are so effective that you can see results just days afte r they take effect.But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled－to $1.01 per pack－smokers have jammed telephone “quit lines” across the country seeking to kick the habit.This is not a surprise to public health advocates.They've studie d the effect of state tax increases for years，finding that smokers，especially teens，are price sensitive.Nor is it a shock to the industry，which fiercely fights every tax increase.The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their e ars to the message.Tobacco taxes improve public health，they raise money and most particularly，they deter people from taking up the habit as teens，which is when nearly all smokers are addicted.Yet the rate of ta xation varies widely.In Manhattan，for instance，which has the highest tax in the nation，a pack of Marlboro Light Kings，cost $10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday.In Charleston，S.C.，where the 7 cent a pack tax is the lowest in the nation，the price was $4.78.The influence is obvious.In New York，high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys－13.8%，far below the national average.By comparison,26% of high scho ol students smoke in Kentucky.Other low tax states have similar ly depressing teen smoking records.Hal Rogers，Representative from Kentucky，like those who are against high tobacco taxes，argues that the burden of the tax falls on low income America ns “who choose to smoke.”That's true.But there is more reason in keeping future generatio ns of low income workers from getting hooked in the first plac e.As for today's adults，if the new tax drives them to quit，they will have more to spend on their families，cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.【语篇解读】烟草税增加后，取得了立竿见影的效果——许多烟民纷纷戒烟。

2014高考英语疯狂冲刺倒计时任务型阅读＋短文改错1(限时30分钟)Ⅰ.任务型阅读AAny car accident is frightening, but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water, with you trapped inside, is absolutely terrifying.__1__ However, most deaths result from panic, without a plan or understanding what is happening to the car in the water.By adopting a brace(支撑) position, acting decisively and getting out fast，you can save yourself from a sinking vehicle.Brace yourself for impact(撞击力)．As soon as you're aware that you're going off the road and into a body of water，adopt a brace position.The impact could set off the airbag system in your vehicle，so you should place both hands on the steering wheel in the “ten and two” position.Undo your seatbelt.__2__ Unbuckle the children，starting with the oldest first.Forget the cellphone call.Your car isn't going to wait for you to make the call.__3__ Leave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the window.A car's electrical system should work for up to three minutes in water，so try the method of opening it electronically first.Many people don't think about the window as an escape option either because of panic or misinformation about doors and sinking. Break the window.If you aren't able to open the window，or it only opens halfway，you'll need to break it with an object or your foot.It may feel counterintuitive(有悖常理的) to let water into the car.__4__Escape when the car has equalized.If it has reached the dramatic stage where the car cabin has been filled with water and it has become balanced，you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival.__5__ While there is still air in the car，take slow，deep breaths and focus on what you're doing.A．Open the window as soon as you hit the water.B．Surviving a sinking car is not as difficult as you think.C．It takes 60 to 120 seconds for a car to fill up with water usually.D．Such accidents are particularly dangerous to the risk of drowning.E． In conclusion，if you know what to do in the water，you will be safe.F．This is the first thing to attend to，yet it often gets forgotten in the panic. G．But the sooner the window is open，the sooner you can escape directly through it. 1．______ 2.______ 3.______ 4.______ 5.______本文为说明文，主要介绍了当遇到汽车掉入水中时，人们应该如何应对。

His emotional voice is enthralling (迷人的).

2014高考英语阅读理解全程冲刺训练〔13〕与答案阅读理解阅读如下短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最优选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AHow I Turned to Be OptimisticI began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.( ) 1. How did the author get to know America?A. From her relatives.B. From her mother.C. From books and pictures.D. From radio programs.【答案】C。
