2014新课标I高考压轴卷英语(含解析)

2014新课标高考压轴卷英语第Ⅰ卷第二部分: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，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.AA rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below l6℃. Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover，these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns，potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.In the past hundred years，humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources（资源）：land for crops，wood for paper and other products，land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example，a lot of carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.There are two main reasons for this. Firstly，when people cut down trees，generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly，cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now，but in the long run it actually reduces the world’s wood supply.Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store. More than 25％of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However，fewer than l％of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world’s shrinking rainforests.21. What does the word “this” underlined in the third paragraph refer to?A. We will lose much more than we can gain.B. Humans have begun destroying rainforests.C. People have a strong desire for resources.D. Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests.22. It can be inferred from the text thatA. we can get enough resources without rainforestsB. there is great medicine potential in rainforestsC. we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained landD. the level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns23. What might be the best title for the text?A. How to Save RainforestsB. How to Protect NatureC. Rainforests and the EnvironmentD. Rainforests and Medical DevelopmentBLike any good mother; when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her 3 - year - old son, Michael, prepare for a new baby．They find out that the new baby is going to be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sings to his sister in Mommy's stomach．Finally, Michael's little sister is born．But she is in serious condition．With alarm in the night, the ambulance rushes the infant to the neonatal (初生的) intensive care unit at St．Mary's Hospital, Knoxville, Tennessee．The days go by．The little girl gets worse．The pediatric (儿科的) specialist tells the parents, “There is very little hope．Be prepared for the worst．”Karen and her husband contact a local cemetery about a burial plot．They have fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby , but now they plan a funeral．Michael, keeps begging his parents to let him see his sister, "I want to sing to her," he says．Karen makes up her mind．She will take Michael whether they like it or not．If he doesn’t see his sister now, he may never see her alive．She dresses him in an oversized suit and marches him into ICU．He looks like a walking laundry basket, but the head nurse recognizes him as a child and shouts, " Get that kid out of here now! No children are allowed．Never disturb patients here．The mother rises up strongly and said?" He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!"Karen leads Michael to his sister's bedside．He gazes at the tiny infant losing the battle to live．And he begins to sing．In die pure hearted voice of a 3 - year - old, Michael sings: " You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray．．．" Instantly the baby girl responds．The pulse rate becomes calm and steady．The next day, the very next day, the little girl is well enough to go home! Woman's Day magazine called it " the miracle of a brother's song．" The medical staff just called it a miracle．Karen called it a miracle of Gods love!Never give up on die people you love．24．What may the underlined words "the infant" refer to?A．The baby．B．Karen．C．Mary．D．Michael25．What do we know about the little sister after she was born?A．She was driven to St．Mary's shop． B．A doctor came to see her in her house．C．She was very thin and couldn't speak．D．She was in great danger．26．What do we know about the head nurse?A．The head nurse was careful．B．The head nurse was rude．C．The head nurse was responsible．D．The head nurse had no sympathy．27．What is the general idea of the text?A．A boy' s singing saved his sister' s life．B．The little girl is well enough to go home．C．Michael's little sister is born with a serious disease．D．No children are allowed to enter the intensive care unit．CThe opera house in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is one of the most beautiful in the United states. It is small and open, with one roof over the stage where singers perform and another roof over part of the audience. This opera house in the mountain is one of the best in the country, which may seem surprising because performances are only given during the seven weeks in summer, and because Santa Fe is a very small city.One reason why the Santa Fe Opera is so good is that it attracts many excellent young singers. They all hope to sing in famous opera houses like Metropolitan in New York someday, and they work hard to become well-known during the summer. The musicians and directors are experts who come from the best orchestras(管弦乐队) and operas in the country during their vacations. They enjoy working there because they like to live in Santa Fe, which is near both the mountains and the desert. It is very beautiful there in summer.The state government of New Mexico advertises the Santa Fe Opera in newspapers all over the country, and a great many tourists come to New Mexico because of the opera. Still, most of the audience does come from Santa Fe and other nearby cities, and all the seats in the theater are sold for every show.There is only one thing that some people do not like about the Santa Fe Opera, and that is the cold weather. Because the theater is open, performances cannot start before it gets dark at nine o’clock in the evening, and then the mountain air becomes very cool. Sometimes people complain about the cold air, but because the operas are good, these people come back again wearing warm coats.28. This passage mainly introduces _______.A. a mountain cityB. young musiciansC. an opera houseD. the tourism in Santa Fe29. Yong singers come to perform in Santa Fe Opera because _______.A. the music quality is highB. they enjoy the climate thereC. they want to be famousD. they like the scenery there30. It seems surprising that Santa Fe becomes famous because _______.A. it is only a very small placeB. it is between the mountain and desertC. all the seats are sold for every showD. musicians there are from the best orchestras31. From the passage, we can learn that _______.A. the opera house is open without any roofsB. musicians always spend vacations in Santa FeC. the government advertises to attract more musiciansD. performances are held in Santa Fe only after it is darkDMy father was 44 and knew he wasn’t going to make it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out. “Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer. But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.” Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. “You will do something great.” He didn’t know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I’ve felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask. “Is this what you were talking about, Dad? Should I keep going?”A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made an y progress. Lately, though, I’ve come to believe he’d want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of and believe in, somebody else. It’s time to start writing my own letters to my children. Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids don’t hold back because they’re afraid to fail. They’re only afraid of failing us. They don’t worry about being disappointed. Their fear ----as mine was until my father’s letter----is of being a disappointment. Give your children permissio n to succeed. They’re waiting for you to believe in them. I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me: That belief will be more complete, that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts; “Don’t worry; you’ll do something great.” Not having that blessing from their parents may b e the only thing holding them back.32. We learn from the text that the author .A. lost his father when he was youngB. worked hard before he read h is father’s letterC. asked his father permission to believe in himselfD. knew exactly what great thing his father wanted him to do33. What does the author tell us in the 3rd paragraph?A. Children need their parents’ letters.B. Children are af raid to be disappointed.C. His children’s fear of failure held them back.D. His father’s letter removed his fear of failing his parents.34. Which of the following is true of the author?A. He got no access to success.B. He wrote back to his father at 12.C. He was sure his parents loved him.D. He once asked his father about the letter.35. The main purpose of the text is to _______.A. describe children’s thinkingB. answer some questions children haveC. stress the importance of communicationD. advise parents to encourage their children第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

However, during the war time, Plumb even didn’t notice such a man at all.After reading this passage, I am moved a lot. We also pay little attention to the neighboringpeople who have been helping us on our way to growth. Sometimes we even take others’ help for granted and hardly appreciate the goodness.Take my mother for example, mom has always been accompanying me since I was able to memorize something. Whenever I am ill or something wrong is with me, mom will take care of me without any reason. I enjoy such a privilege and never think of saying “thank you”. Besides, I often keep my mouth shut after shopping or eating outside and so on. How shallow I am!Appreciating others is a kind of good virtue. Of course, I want to be a grateful person. First of all, I begin to say “Thank you” to whoever has helped me. Moreover, I will encourage my friends or the people around to appreciate others for the smallest offer, even a simple “Good morning”. Without a thankful heart, our life would be meaningless.Sample 2:Plumb came across a man who packed his parachute and saved him during a flight in the war, but before that Plumb even did n’t notice such a man at all.After reading this passage, I can’t help feeling ashamed of myself. In the past, not only did I pay little attention to those who helped me out of dilemma, but also I took other s’ help for granted. However, now I come to realize that learning to be grateful is of great importance in our life.On my way to growth, there is no doubt that many people helped me a great deal. Take my English teacher for example. My English teacher, Mr Li, has always been paying special attention to me since he taught me. Finding my writing ability terrible, he instantly asked me to his office and conducted face-to-face correcting. It was his help and encouragement that made me have more confidence and gradually improve my writing ability.Appreciating others is a kind of good virtue. Of course, I want to be a grateful person. First of all, I will begin to say “Thank you”to whoever has helped me. Moreover, I will encourage my friends or the people around to learn to be grateful. Last but not least, I will try my utmost to do what I can for others in return.。

ASamuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me ---I hear the notes and can bear them in mind---each and every note,” says Samuel.Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently, “It’s all about super memory---I guess I have that gift.”However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.26. What is special about Samuel Osmond?A. He has a gift for writing music.B. He can write down the note he hears.C. He is a top student at the law school.D. He can play the musical piece he hears.27. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A.Samuel chose law against the wish of his parents.B. Samuel planned to be a lawyer rather than a musician.C. Samuel thinks of himself as a man of great musical ability.D. Samuel studies law and music on the advice of his teachers.28. Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he_____ _.A. received a good early education in musicB. played the guitar and the piano perfectlyC. could play the piano without reading musicD. could play the guitar better than his father29. What can we infer about Samuel in Paragraph 4?A. He became famous during a special event at his college.B. He is proud of his ability to remember things accurately.C. He plays the piano better than many professional pianists.D. He impressed the audience by playing all the musical pieces.30. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. The Qualities of a MusicianB. The Story of a Musical TalentC. The Importance of Early EducationD. The Relationship between Memory and Music.本⽂是记叙⽂，介绍有⾳乐天才的Samuel Osmond。

can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them．He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts．Then he thinks about the notes in his head．Two years ago，he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven．He surprised everyone around him．Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly，his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable．They say his ability is very rare，but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special．Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents，but music teachers told him he should study music instead．Now，he studies law and music．Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised．"I grew up with music．My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar．About two years ago，Isuddenly decided to start playing the piano，without being able to read music and without having any lessons．It comes easily to me﹣﹣﹣I hear the notes and can bear them in mind﹣﹣﹣each and every note，"says Samuel．Recently，Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college．The piece had more than a thousand notes．The audience was impressed by his amazing performance．He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it．Samuel says confidently，"It's all about super memory﹣﹣﹣I guess I have that gift．"However，Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music．His family says that even when he was a young boy，Samuel heard someone read a story，and then he could retell the story word for word．Samuel is still only a teenager．He doesn't know what he wants to do in the future．For now，he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies．26．What is special

title of the passage？A．The Qualities of a MusicianB．The Story of a Musical TalentC．The Importance of Early EducationD．The Relationship between Memory and Music．31．（10分）It was a cold winter day．A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth （收费站）．"I'm paying for myself，and for the six cars behind me，"she said with a smile，handing over seven tickets．One after another，the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed，"Some lady up ahead already paid your fare．"It turned out that the woman，Natalie Smith，had read something on a friend's refrigerator："Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty．"The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down．Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home．When it stayed on her mind for days，she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down．"I thought it was beautiful，"she said，explaining why she'd taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters，"like a message from above．"Her husband，Frank，liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students，one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson，a local news reporter．Alice put it in the newspaper，admitting that though she liked it，she didn't know where it came from or what it really meant．Two days later，Alice got a call from Anne Herbert，a woman living in Marin．It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper，after turning it around in her mind for days．"Here's the idea，"Anne says．"Anything you think there should be more of，do it randomly．"Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools，leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town，and giving money secretly to a proud old lady．Anne says，"Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can．" The acts of random kindness spread．If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid，who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later．Like all great events，kindness begins slowly，with every single act．Let it be yours!31．Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her？A．She knew the car drivers well．B．She wanted to show kindness．C．She hoped to please others．D．She had seven tickets．32．Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she．A．thought it was beautifully writtenB．wanted to know what it really meantC．decided to write it on a warehouse wallD．wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom33．Who came up with the phrase according to the passage？A．Judy Foreman．B．Natalie Smith．C．Alice Johnson．D．Anne Herbert．34．Which of the

graduates，I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do．My degree，with honors，in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical．I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow，but I had no idea how to do that．That's when I learned about the Lighthouse Project．I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers．I knew it would be a lot of hard work，and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time．In short，I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly．Neither did my family．Eventually，however，I won the support of my family，and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application．After countless interviews and presentations，I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone．Several months later，I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty．I would be going to a small village near Abuja，Nigeria．Where？What？Nigeria？I had no idea．But I was about to find out．After completing my training，I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation．Though the local villagers were poor，they offered their homes，hearts，and food as if I were their own family．I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse．For the next year or so，I taught in that same schoolhouse．But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me．Sometime during that period，I realized that all those things that had seemed sostrange or unusual to me no longer did，though I did not get anywhere with the local language，and returned to the United States a different man．The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever．36．What do we know about the author？A．His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge．B．His dream at university was to become a

arrival at the village，the author was．A．Asked to lead a farming teamB．Sent to teach in schoolhouseC．Received warmly by local villagersD．Arranged to live in a separate house．40．What can we infer from the author's experiences in Nigeria？A．He found some difficulty adapting to the local cultureB．He had learned to communicate in the local language．C．He had overcome all his weakness before he left for home．D．He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students．41．（10分）Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents （洋流）．Most do it using satellites and other high﹣tech equipment．However，ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way﹣﹣﹣by studying movements of random floating garbage．A scientist with many years'experience，he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States．There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear．Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes﹣about 60，000 in total﹣fell into the ocean in a shipping accident．He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back．As expected，the company told him that they didn't．Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment．If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed，he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents．The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing（海滩搜寻）because winds and currents join here，and as a result，there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area．Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed．In a year he collected reliable information on 1，600shoes．With this data，he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents，and publish the findings of their study．As the result of his work，Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean．He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts，with 500subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand．They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves．41．The underlined phrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to．A．fitting roomsB．trading fairsC．business talksD．group meetings42．Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out．A．what caused the shipping accidentB．when and where the shoes went missingC．whether it was all right to use their shoesD．how much they lost in the shipping accident43．How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption？A．By collecting information from beachcombersB．By studying the shoes found by beachcomberC．By searching the web for ocean currents modelsD．By researching ocean currents data in the library44．Ebbesmeyer is most famous for．A．traveling widely the coastal cities of the worldB．making records for any lost objects on the seaC．running a global currents research associationD．phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea45．What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage？A．To call people's attention to ocean pollutionB．To warn people or snipping safety in the oceanC．To explain a unique way of studing ocean currentsD．To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach．第二节信息匹配（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息，请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑46．（10分）首先请阅读某大学提供给学生的项目信息：46．I grow up in a very big family．My parents

can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them．He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts．Then he thinks about the notes in his head．Two years ago，he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven．He surprised everyone around him．Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly，his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable．They say his ability is very rare，but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special．Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents，but music teachers told him he should study music instead．Now，he studies law and music．Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised．"I grew up with music．My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar．About two years ago，Isuddenly decided to start playing the piano，without being able to read music and without having any lessons．It comes easily to me﹣﹣﹣I hear the notes and can bear them in mind﹣﹣﹣each and every note，"says Samuel．Recently，Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college．The piece had more than a thousand notes．The audience was impressed by his amazing performance．He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it．Samuel says confidently，"It's all about super memory﹣﹣﹣I guess I have that gift．"However，Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music．His family says that even when he was a young boy，Samuel heard someone read a story，and then he could retell the story word for word．Samuel is still only a teenager．He doesn't know what he wants to do in the future．For now，he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies．26．What is special

ability to remember things accurately．C．He plays the piano better than many professional pianists．D．He impressed the audience by playing all the musical pieces．30．Which of the following is the best title of the passage？A．The Qualities of a MusicianB．The Story of a Musical TalentC．The Importance of Early EducationD．The Relationship between Memory and Music．31．（10分）It was a cold winter day．A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth （收费站）．"I'm paying for myself，and for the six cars behind me，"she said with a smile，handing over seven tickets．One after another，the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed，"Some lady up ahead already paid your fare．"It turned out that the woman，Natalie Smith，had read something on a friend's refrigerator："Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty．"The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down．Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home．When it stayed on her mind for days，she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down．"I thought it was beautiful，"she said，explaining why she'd taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters，"like a message from above．"Her husband，Frank，liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students，one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson，a local news reporter．Alice put it in the newspaper，admitting that though she liked it，she didn't know where it came from or what it really meant．Two days later，Alice got a call from Anne Herbert，a woman living in Marin．It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper，after turning it around in her mind for days．"Here's the idea，"Anne says．"Anything you think there should be more of，do it randomly．"Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools，leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town，and giving money secretly to a proud old lady．Anne says，"Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can．" The acts of random kindness spread．If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid，who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later．Like all great events，kindness begins slowly，with every single act．Let it be yours!31．Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her？A．She knew the car drivers well．B．She wanted to show kindness．C．She hoped to please others．D．She had seven tickets．32．Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she．A．thought it was beautifully writtenB．wanted to know what it really meantC．decided to write it on a

graduates，I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do．My degree，with honors，in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical．I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow，but I had no idea how to do that．That's when I learned about the Lighthouse Project．I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers．I knew it would be a lot of hard work，and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time．In short，I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly．Neither did my family．Eventually，however，I won the support of my family，and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application．After countless interviews and presentations，I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone．Several months later，I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty．I would be going to a small village near Abuja，Nigeria．Where？What？Nigeria？I had no idea．But I was about to find out．After completing my training，I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation．Though the local villagers were poor，they offered their homes，hearts，and food as if I were their own family．I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse．For the next year or so，I taught in that same schoolhouse．But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me．Sometime during that period，I realized that all those things that had seemed sostrange or unusual to me no longer did，though I did not get anywhere with the local language，and returned to the United States a different man．The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever．36．What do we know about the author？A．His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge．B．His dream at university was to become a

arrival at the village，the author was．A．Asked to lead a farming teamB．Sent to teach in schoolhouseC．Received warmly by local villagersD．Arranged to live in a separate house．40．What can we infer from the author's experiences in Nigeria？A．He found some difficulty adapting to the local cultureB．He had learned to communicate in the local language．C．He had overcome all his weakness before he left for home．D．He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students．41．（10分）Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents （洋流）．Most do it using satellites and other high﹣tech equipment．However，ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way﹣﹣﹣by studying movements of random floating garbage．A scientist with many years'experience，he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States．There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear．Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes﹣about 60，000 in total﹣fell into the ocean in a shipping accident．He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back．As expected，the company told him that they didn't．Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment．If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed，he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents．The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing（海滩搜寻）because winds and currents join here，and as a result，there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area．Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed．In a year he collected reliable information on 1，600shoes．With this data，he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents，and publish the findings of their study．As the result of his work，Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean．He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts，with 500subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand．They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves．41．The underlined phrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to．A．fitting roomsB．trading fairsC．business talksD．group meetings42．Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out．A．what caused the shipping accidentB．when and where the shoes went missingC．whether it was all right to use their shoesD．how much they lost in the shipping accident43．How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption？A．By collecting information from beachcombersB．By studying the shoes found by beachcomberC．By searching the web for ocean currents modelsD．By researching ocean currents data in the library44．Ebbesmeyer is most famous for．A．traveling widely the coastal cities of the worldB．making records for any lost objects on the seaC．running a global currents research associationD．phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea45．What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage？A．To call people's attention to ocean pollutionB．To warn people or snipping safety in the oceanC．To explain a unique way of studing ocean currentsD．To

高中英语真题-2014新课标II高考压轴卷

高中英语真题:2014新课标II高考压轴卷第Ⅰ卷第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分）略第二部分: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，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.ADoes a Tea Break Make You More Efficient?has been drinking tea since the time of Shennong, 5,000 years ago. Britain’s relationship with tea is much shorter, but tea enjo ys pride of place as the ’s national drink. According to the UK T ea Council, British people drink an average of three cups a day or a national total of 165 million cups every day.With figures like these, it is no surprise that time spent taking te a affects the working day in . A recent survey found that 24 min utes a day are lost to making, buying and drinking tea and coffe e. That is, £400 a year is lost in working hours per employee, or 190 days over a lifetime. So, should employers be worried about this lost working time, or does the tea break make up in other ways?One argument is that caffeine improves mental state: a drink of tea or coffee can make you active and focus on work. Professor Rogers of the of disagrees. After years of studying c affeine he sees nothing can prove that. “Workers would perform equally well if not drinking it at all,” he says. “But if they’re often drinking it and then go without, they’ll feel tired and won’t work well.”Psychologist Cooper instead emphasizes the role tea breaks pl ay in office life, and in building social relationships. “We need to make people more active and see other people. The tea break is one way of doing this,” says Cooper.And Professor Rogers also points out the comfort effect of a hot drink: “We warm our hands on them on a cold day; they’re com forting and play a big role in our everyday life. Whatever the caf feine’s doing, I’d say these 24 minutes aren’t wasted.”21. What is the passage mainly about?A. Tea Breaks cannot make people more active at work.B. British people drink more tea than people in other countries.C. Tea break plays an important role in people’s life in .D. A lot of time has been wasted drinking tea in the working day.22. We learn from a recent survey that in _______.A. £400 is lost in working hours for each personB. tea breaks take up 24 minutes in a working dayC. people spends 190 days drinking tea and coffee each yearD. people drink 165 million cups in working hours every day23. What’s Psychologist Coopers’ attitude towards tea break?A. Doubtful.B. Uncertain.C. Negative.D. Positive.BI suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened Looki ng down I immediately recognized that something was wrong a nd ran down to the edge of the near bank There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water and it was a life-and-death struggle Her calf was floating and screaming with fear Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water and keeping the calf pres sed against her huge body . Every now and then the rushing wa ter would sweep the calf a way.There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother’s body and was gone Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk （象鼻）against the rocky bank Then with a huge effort she picked it up i n her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow s helf of rockJust at this moment she fell back into the river If she were carrie d down it would be certain death I knew as well as she did ,that there was one spot（地点）where she could get up the bank but it was on the other side fr om where she had put her calfWhile I was wondering what I could do next I heard the sound o f a mother’s love Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could roarin g（吼叫）all the time but to her calf it was music.24．The moment the author got down to the river bank he saw_ _____.A．the calf was about to fall into the riverB．Ma Shwe was placing the calf on the rockC．the calf was washed away by the rising waterD．Ma Shwe was holding the calf against the rushing water 25．How did Ma Shwe manage to save her calf from the fast-flowing water?A．By putting it on a safe spotB．By pressing it against her bodyC．By taking it away with herD．By carrying it on her back26．How did the calf feel about the mother elephant’s roaring?

Here is on e trick. It has seven steps.First, write down your house number. For example, if your addr ess is , you would write down 73.Next, double(翻一倍) it. In other words, multiply(乘) it by two. Then, add five to thi s doubled number. For example, if your address was 73and you doubled it, you would get 146. Then, if you added five, you’d g et 151.So, to repeat the first three steps, write down your house number, double it, and add five.Fourth, multiply this number by 50. In our example here, if you multiply 151 by 50, you’ll get 7550.The fifth step is to add your age to this total. For example, if you ’re 26years old, you should add 26 to this total. In our example here, the result would be 7550 plus 26, you’ll get 7576. Sixth, you have to add the number of days in a year, which is 3 65. In our example here, 365 added to 7576 is 7941.The seventh and final step is this: subtract(减) 615 from the nu mber that you have. In our example, 7941 minus 615 is 7326. The result here, 7-3-2-6, is the trick. The first part of the number is the address and th e last part of the number is the age of the person. That is, 73is t he address that we started with, and 26is the age that we used.If you follow these seven steps with any address and the age of any person. You will get the same result.28. According to the trick, what number can you get if you are 16 years old and your house number is 85？A. 1685B. 8516C. 8165D. 165829. How can your age number appear at the last part of the res ult?A. It’s really a trick.B. By taking all the steps except Step1 and Step 2.C. By taking Step 6and Step 7.D. By taking all the steps.30. What’s the secret of the trick?A. It’s impossible to know.B. By taking Step 2 and Step 4, we get the formula(公式)：your address number ×2×50.C. By taking all the steps except 1 and 2, we get the formula: 5×50+your age number+365－615=your age number.D. Both B and C.31. Is it possible for us to design another program of getting the same result？A. No, it’s impossible to find out another way.B. No problem.C. I’m not sure.D. It’s nothing but a trick.DIt was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, war m air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited m y sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had ne ver been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I’m so glad I did.On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. Aft er all，it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny cha nnel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance.On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her b aby. We couldn’t believe it ——there aren’t any whales along the coast here. The storm must h ave driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.The little baby whale——actually as big as our boat——was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived und er the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves. “She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,” my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes t he big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then itswam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperat e attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to le ad them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, some-times rising from the water right beside us to breathe——and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, th e mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a hal f. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day, Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.32. The author says “I’m so glad I did.”(in Para.2)because ____ ______.A. he witnessed the whole process of fishingB. he enjoyed th e beauty of the calm seaC. he experienced the rescue of the whalesD. he spent the weekend with his family33. The harbour survived the storm owing to____________.A. the shape of the harbourB. the arms of the bayC. the still water in the channelD. the long coast line34. The mother whale failed to help her baby because________ __.A. she had stayed in the polluted water for too longB. the whirlpools she had made were not big enoughC. she had no other whales around to turn to for helpD. the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction35. What is the theme of the story?A. Saving lives brings people a sense of happinessB. Fishing provides excitement for childrenC. It’s necessary to live in harmony with animalsD. It’s vital to protect the environment第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A few years ago, the bearded author was invited to meet the President of India to receive a national award for literature at a ceremony in the capital, New Delhi. He politely declined. Absorbed in writing his new novel, he gave the reason that he did not have time. But what he has made time for every Sunday for seven years, is going door-to-door in Mira Road, asking residents if they need their tap fixed for free!As an outstanding Indian painter and author, Aabid has written around 80 books but no story so moved him as the truth about water shortage on the planet. “I read an interview of the former UN chief Boutros Ghali,” he recalls, “who said that by 2025 more than 40 countries are expected to experience water crisis. I also remembered my childhood in a poor town fighting for water.”Around the same time, several years ago, he noticed a leaky tap in a friend’s house. It bothered him. When he pointed it out, his friend, like others, casually ignored it: it was too expensive and inconvenient to call a plumber for such a minor job — even plumbers resisted coming. A few years later, he came across a statistic in the newspaper: a tap that leaks once every second wastes a thousand liters of water in a month. That led to an idea. He would take a plumber from door to door and fix taps for free.As a creative artist, he had earned more goodwill than money and the first challenge was funding. “But,” he says, “if you have a noble thought, nature takes care of it.” Within a few days, he got a message that he was unexpectedly being awarded $2,000 by the UN for his contribution to Hindi literature. And one Sunday morning in 2007 he set out with a plumber to fix the problem for his neighbors.It’s hard to say how much water he has saved — the taps he had fixed could have continued leaking for months, and maybe years, had he not rung the doorbell. But conservatively, it could be estimated that he has saved at least 5.5 million liters of water till date.31. Why did Aabid Surti refuse to receive a national award for literature?A. Because he was too strange a character.B. Because he thought he didn’t deserve it.C. Because he had more important things to do.D. Because he was too busy writing his new novel.32. What moved Aabid Surti most?A. The childhood of Boutros Ghali.B. The novel that won him the award.C. The truth that his friend had a leaky tap.D. The fact of the earth’s being short of water.33. Which of the following wasn’t the reason why his friend didn’t fix the leaky tap?A. That it would cost a lot of money.B. That it was inconvenient to ring a plumber for such a small thing.C. That maybe some plumbers didn’t volunteer to come.D. That his friend was not willing to have the tap fixed at all.34. What was the first challenge that Aabid Surti faced?A. A lack of money.B. Too serious tap problems.C. Bad will from others.D. A shortage of time for literature.35. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Aabid Surti: The Strangest NovelistB. Aabid Surti: An Artist and Water SaverC. Water Matters More Than MoneyD. Goodwill Matters More Than MoneyCWatching a horror film could burn off a whole bar of chocolate, according to new research released today.Viewers who put themselves through 90 minutes of adrenaline(肾上腺素)-pumping terror can use up as much as 113 calories, close to the amount burned during a half-hour walk and the equivalent to a chocolate bar.The movie top of the list of calorie-burners was found to be the 1980 psychological thriller The Shining, with the average viewer using up a whopping 184 calories.Jaws took the runner-up spot, with viewers burning on average 161 calories, and The Exorcist came third, with 158 calories.The University of Westminster study measured the total energy expenditure of ten different people as they watched a selection of frightening movies.Scientists recorded their heart rate, oxygen intake and carbon dioxide output - and discovered the number of calories used increased by on average a third during the films.The research also revealed films featuring moments designed to make viewers jump in terror are the best calorie-burners, as they cause heart rates to soar.Dr Richard Mackenzie, senior lecturer and specialist in cell metabolism and physiology at the University of Westminster, said: “Each of the ten films tested set pulses racing, sparking an increase in the heart rate of the case studies.”“As the pulse quickens and blood pumps around the body faster, the body experiences a powerful increase in adrenaline.”“It is thi s release of fast acting adrenaline, produced during short bursts of intense stress (or in this case, brought on by fear), which is known to lower the appetite, increase the Basal Metabolic Rate and ultimately burn a higher level of calories.”Helen Cowley, editor of the movie rental company LOVEFILM - which commissioned the University of Westminster study - said: “We all know the feeling ofwanting to hide behind the sofa or grab a pillow when watching scary or hair raising scenes, but this research suggests that maybe those seeking to burn some calories should keep their eyes on the screen.”36. How many calories can be burned off if you watch a thriller for 90 minutes?A. 113B. 184C. 161D. 15837. Under normal conditions, your heart rate is 75 beats per minute. When you watchthe horror film, how many beats is your heart rate?A. 55B. 100C. 25D. 22538. According to the passage, which of the following is the best calorie-burner?A. Running for half an hour.B. Watching the very thrilling Jaws.C. Watching such a film as The Shining.D. Watching a film as terror as The Exorcist.39. From the last paragraph we know_________.A. We shouldn’t watch the thriller because it will increase our heart rate muchB. To burn calories, we should fix our eyes on the screen at scary momentsC. To lose weight, we should watch the horror films as often as possibleD. Helen Cowley thinks watching the thriller will be harmful to our health40. What’s the main purpose of writing this passage?A. To warn us not to watch the horror film often.B. To recommend us some good horror films to see.C. To introduce and analyze for us what horror films are.D. To tell us that watching thrillers can burn some calories.DGoogle has kicked off Google Science Fair (GSF) 2014, its annual online competition for bright, creative and ambitious teenagers who want to change the world with science.
