At that time, the French dreamed of discovering and controlling more land across the world. In 1535 Francois I, King of France, ordered a navigator (航海家) named Jacques Cartier to explore the New world and search for a passage to India.Cartier first arrived at the Gulf of the St. Lawrence, which he wanted to explore. He did not knowwhat to expect but he hoped that this Gulf was just an arm of the ocean between two islands. If it was, he would soon be on his way to the Far East. So he sailed upwards along the St. LawrenceRiver. However, instead of reaching Asia he arrived at Quebec or Stadacona, as the Indians calledit. It was at this point that the term “Canada” entered the country’s history. Clearly the word“Canada” came from an Indian word “Kanata”, which means village. Cartier first used it when hereferred to Stadacona or Quebec. What a huge “village” Canada is!57. What was Cartier ordered to do?A. To build a new countryB. To find the New WorldC. To get in touch with the American IndiansD. To know more about America and find a new way to Asia58. When Cartier reached the Gulf of St. Lawrence he hoped ________.A. he had got to the Far EastB. it was a water way to the New WorldC. it was a water way to the Far EastD. he had sailed into the Pacific59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Quebec and Stadacona were tow islands.B. The Indian language for village is Stadacona.C. Quebec and Stadacona were two villages in Canada.D. Stadacona was what the Indians called Quebec.60. Canada was first used to refer to __________.A. AsiaB. the New WorldC. a villageD. Quebec Olivia and Jack are the most popular names in Britain for babies born in 2008, according to a survey made by the website Bounty. Jack has been top for 14 years since it took over from Thomas.Grace — made famous by the Hollywood star Grace Kelly — slipped back into third place behind Ruby, the name of singer Charlotte Church’s daughter.Summer climbed 28 places from 44th to 16th. Ava — the name of singer Myleene Klass’s daughter — also leapt 15 places to 19th.The troubles of the singer Amy Winehouse perhaps had an effect on the popularity of the name. It dropped three places to 23rd. Rebecca is also on the wane(变弱), ranking 48th. So is Courtney, which ranked 88th. Theo, obviously inspired by England’s teenage football hero Theo Walcott, is among the biggest climbers in the boy’s list, rising from 70th to 58th.An employee of Bounty said, “Baby names have witnessed the biggest changes over the last decade as parents are increasingly influenced by celebrities. The Bounty baby name poll also shows parents are continuing to be creative and inspirational about the names they choose for their children. Some parents want a name that’s totally unique, and names such as Zebedee, Selim and Zenon are now emerging and growing in popularity. Others are simply breaking with convention and becoming bolder in their choice of names.”“While politicians’ names may be growing in popularity in America, British politicians don’t influence our choice of names in the UK. Traditional royal names continue to be supreme(最高的) in the boys’ top 100,” The employee said.6.Which of the following girl names ranks the second?A. Grace.B. Ruby.C. Kelly.D. Charlotte.7.Baby names changed a lot mainly because of the influence of ______.A. starsB. parentsC. mediaD. politicians8.What kind of names covers the most in the top 100 boys’ names?A. Unique names.B. Creative names.C. Famous people’s names.D. Traditional royal names.9.It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. Thomas was the first in boy names in 1994B. Summer ranked 28th in the girls’ list in 2007C. Rebecca might be 50th in the girls’ list in 2007D. Courtney climbed in the boy’s list in 2008 compared with 2007 A dog can’t speak words, but it can “talk”. It has feelings just as you do. At times it may feel angry or afraid. Watch a dog closely. Youcan see what it is trying to tell you. When you are afraid, you may look down shyly. A fearful dog looks away from you. It may run away too. When you are angry with people, you stare at them and press your lips together. An angry dog also stares. Sometimes the hair along its back stands up. Do you feel guilty when you have done something you shouldn’t? Dogs can feel guilty, too. At times when I come home, my dog gives me a guilty look. Then I know he’s done something wrong.Dogs need love and attention. Some dogs are very unhappy when they are left alone for a long time. Some dogs even snap(撕咬) if they don’t get enough attention.You may have a dog or you may know a dog. Treat it well if you want to have fun with it. Play with it. Take it on wa lks. Don’t order it round too much. Try not to punish it one time and not the next for doing the same thing. Always remember, a dog has needs and feelings just as you do.

When they go into action, you may not even see a fire truck.The Hotshots are firefighters who battle fires in wildness areas. But don’t think you’ll only find them in their home state California. Wherever there is a national wildfire emergency, the Golden Eagles Hotshots could be there.But these firefighters don’t work the same way as firefighters in a big city. They work in areas where there are a large number of trees, bushes,and grass. They climb up and down steep hills to clear brush and burnable debris(残骸). They sometimes use water, but they often fight fire with fire!They do that by lighting what are called “backfires,”which are small, controlled fires that burn up fuel in the path of large wildfires. That way, when the wildfire gets there, it has nothing to burn and nowhere to go, because all the burnable fuel has already gone up in smoke. The Hotshots also clear away fuel using old-fashioned hard work. For example, they use a saw to cut away trees and heavy brush that could catch fire.Of course there are times when the Golden Eagles Hotshots do have trucks to supply water to the fires. But the water is limited, and these guys have to rely on hard work more than anything. Physical fitness is very important. They have to be in great physical shape to handle steep hills and difficult terrain(地形) while carrying a 60-pound pack.The Golden Eagles Hotshots definitely work hard for their pay. But thanks to their efforts, many lives have been saved, many houses have not burned, and countless trees are still standing.15.67. The firefighters mentioned in the passenger.A. do much of their work in CaliforniaB. avoid climbing steep hills in their workC. do their work equipped with advanced tools.D. carry out their work mostly in forests and mountains.16.68. According to the passage, why do the firefighters light “backfires”?A. To signal for help.B. To remove obstacles.C. To protect trees and bushes.D. To prevent the fire from spreading.17.69. What can we learn about the Golden Eagles Hotshots?A. They are firefighters working in big cities.B. Their work requires physical strength.C. They are voluntary firefighters working for free.D. They usually hold a hose to put out the fires.18.70. What is the author’s attitude towards the Golden Eagles Hotshots?A. AppreciativeB. DoubtfulC. WorriedD. Critical Pregnancy(妊娠) and childbirth kill more than 536,000 women a year. More than half of the cases happened in Africa, according to the World Health Organization. In fact, most of the deaths are preventable with basic medical care.The five leading causes are bleeding, infection, high blood pressure, longtime labor and bad abortions (流产). Mothers' deaths from such causes were largely reduced nearly a century ago in developed countries. Experts say that what kill many women are “the three delays”— the woman's delay in deciding to go to the hospital, the time she losestraveling there and the hospital's delay in starting treatment. Only about 15 percent of births have dangerous complications(并发症).Women lack education and information about birth control. Husbands and inlaws, may decide where a woman gives birth and insist that she stay at home to save money. However, there is no single solution to a problem with so many factors—shortages of doctors, nurses, drugs, equipment, roads and transportation—though hospital officials are trying many things now.One stopgap measure to solve the problem for the present has been to train assistant medical officers, to perform certain operations. Some African countries are now struggling to train more assistants and midwives (接生婆) , and provide places for pregnant women to stay near hospitals. But there is a long way to go. Only 20 percent of women in the continent give birth at the hospital. More than 50 percent stay at home to give birth, and the rest go to local clinics that cannot handle emergencies. 19.Which is not included in the five leading causes of women's deaths during pregnancy and childbirth?A. Infection.B. High blood pressure.C. Traveling long distances.D. Bleeding.20.The underlined word “stopgap” probably means “________ ”in the passage.A. finalB. temporaryC. effectiveD. instant 21.What can we learn from this passage?A. The governments of African countries have to take more effective measures to save pregnant women.B. Developed countries should help African countries reducemothers'deaths.C. The husbands in poor countries should take responsibility for their wives'deaths.D. Most problems that cause women's deaths during pregnancy and childbirth can be treated or prevented.22.What is the author's attitude towards the future of preventing women's deaths during pregnancy and childbirth?A.

高中英语真题:高考英语阅读理解、书面表达自练(9)答案(三月)阅读理解。
【2014·山东省齐鲁名校高三年级联合测试】When I was growing up in the suburbs of New York,our first local Earth Day was organized around a drive to a to wn field where families were urged to dump items from their b asements for recycling rather than tossing them in the trash.It was an eyeopening concept for a kid in 1970.But as an environmental reporter,I have come to dread (非常害怕) the large amount of deals and promotions that arrive via e mail or in my office or home mailbox on Earth Day.Like Valent ine’s Day,Earth Day has become a huge marketing opportunity—a paradoxical (矛盾的) way to promote consumption and sell stuff.In fact,Earth Day is such a good sales hook that some shops,like Target,have expanded Earth Day into Earth Month.There isn’t time to give you a full rundown of the Earth Day sh opping opportunities I was alerted to this past week.They incl uded deals on buying bottled water and earthfriendly diaper w ipes.My award for the silliest promotion:a plan to gift 25 of the most environmentally conscious stars unique,useful and fabulous “green” products and services,including skin care products,cat litter,cheesecake and artwork.My guess is most of the stuff will end up in celebrities’ garbage.Is buying and selling a good way to celebrate and protect the environment?I would argue that Earth Day might be an occasion to conside r giving up purchases or habits that are environmentally quest ionable or that we could happily do without.How about not buy ing bottled water,but refilling a water bottle?How about not buying foods—even “organic” foods—that are packed in nonrecyclable plastic?Don’t get me wrong.Bridgestone is celebrating Earth Day by p romising to repurpose a spent tire for every tire that it sells.Ve rizon will plant a tree for each cellphone you trade in.Some co ffee stores will even refill reusable mugs at no charge.Target is giving out free reusable carrier bags without requiring a purc hase.But few retailers are taking the next step—charging a fee at the cash register for disposable plastic bags ,a common practice in Europe—to motivate customers to use those new reusable carriers. Earth Day is transient (短暂的).If you only showed love on Valentine’s Day,would that really mean anything at all?1.The author’s first local Earth Day was celebrated by______ __.A.driving to a town field for funB.dumping unused items for recyclingC.looking for good ideas for reuseD.clearing items from their basement2.Why do some shops expand Earth Day into Earth Month? A.Because too many activities are organized for the day. B.Because they intend to make more sales strategies. C.Because they want to have more selling opportunities. D.Because they have to deal with too much waste. 3.What’s the author’s attitude towards the deals and promotions on Earth Day?A.Objective. B.Optimistic.C.Supportive. D.Critical.4.According to the author,it’s environmentally friendly to________.A.buy packed organic foodsB.offer stars green productsC.refill water bottlesD.ask for disposable plastic bags5.It could be inferred from the text that Bridgestone and Veri zon________.A.are likely to misunderstand the authorB.have a good way to celebrate Earth DayC.are devoted to making money on Earth DayD.make wrong promotion plans on Earth Day语篇解读本文作者对一些商家在世界地球日的做法发表了自己的观点。

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校高考英语二轮复习三月精品练习阅读理解Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami(海啸), adding weight to ideas they possess a “sixth sense” for disasters, experts said on Thursday.Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the giant waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island’s coast seemingly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals found.“No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit. animals can sense disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening,” H.D. Ratnayake, deputy director of Sri Lanka’s Wildlife Department, said on Wednesday.The waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km (2 miles) inland at Yala National Park in the southeast, Sri L anka’s biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants. “There has been a lot of evidence about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proven,” said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behavi our specialist at Johannesburg Zoo.“There have been no specific studies because you can’t really test it in a lab or field setting,” he said.Other authorities agreed with this conclusion.“Wildlife seem to be able to pick up certain phenomenon, especi ally birds. There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters,” said Clive Walker, who has written several books on African wildlife. Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators(食肉动物).Th e idea of an animal “sixth sense” is a lasting one that the evidence on Sri Lanka’s damaged coast is likely to add to.1.This passage is mainly about________.A. the damage that was caused in the Indian Ocean tsunamiB. why animals can save them from natural disastersC. how to protect the wildlife when disaster happensD. the different opinions about animals’ natural power2.Which of the following is true the text?A. It has been proved that animals have a “sixth sense”.B. Research has been made on the special movements of animals before disasters.C. It’s generally considered that animals can sense the coming of disasters.D. Animals have depended on the known senses to escape the Indian Ocean tsunami.3.What does the term “sixth sense” in the text mean s?A. It is the natural ability of animals that can save them from danger.B. It is the animal’s imagination in the brain.C. It is some hidden power to say in advance that something will happen.D. It is a kind of sense that is the same as smell or hearing. 4.Which section does the text most probably appear in a newspaper? A. News Report. B. Discovery. C. Science Fiction. D. Culture.5.In America, drivers’ education is part of the regular high school curriculum. Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver’s education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course.The course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to practise driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students have a text from which they study the basic laws they must know to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone wanting to get a dr iver’s license.Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel (steering wheel) and practice starting steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners, and all the other maneuvers (操作) required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided up into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two hour blocks of time. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor and “driver” sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back.Drivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes, one on the driver’s side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution(小心) the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced and prone to driving slowly.After the student has passed the driver’s education course and reached the appropriate age to drive (this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to a designated state office to take their driver’s test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The person must pass all three tests in order to be given a driver’s license. If the person did well in his or her driver’s education class, he or she will pass the test with flying colors and get a driver’s license.1. In America, the driver’s course mentioned above___________.A. is considered as part of the advanced educationB. is given to anyone wan ting to get a driver’s licenseC. is carried on at the same time as other coursesD. is offered to all the students of Grade 2 in high schools2. To prevent accidents, a drivers Ed car______________.A. has a sign inside itB. has two sets of brakesC. is big enough to hold five personsD. can’t run very fast3. We can infer that the students are required to ______ in their whole driving practice.A. go out driving for twelve timesB. spend at least six hours drivingC. drive for two hour blocks of timeD. get half an hour driving4. Which of the following does not agree with the requirements for the students wanting to get their driver’s license?A. They must be 16 years of ageB. They should go to have their driver’s testC. They must have their eyes examinedD. They ought to do well in their driver’s course5 In the last sentence, “with flying colors” means______________.A. happilyB. successfullyC. colorfullyD. quicklyMillions of people are now using what a re called“peer-to-peer”networks. Basically, you link your computer to other computers all across the country, mostly so you can give something in exchange for music for free.“But here's the problem,”“Early Show”Consumer Correspondent Susan Koeppen says as part of the broadcast's series, “Somebody's Watching You”: thieves are using the same networks, and they're not interested in music-they're seeking access to your financial information.Beth Pope learned the hard way. When she put peer-to-peer software on her computer, she had one goal in mind: increasing her music library.“I thought I could get access to other people's music folders and they could have access to my music folders,”she says,“and that was about it. I didn't think it went any further than th at.”Are Your Medical Records Watched? That is, until she was contacted by the Secret Service-with shocking news-someone had stolen personal information from her computer-using the very software she used to trade music. With the help of David Dunn, a member of the Secret Service Electronic Crimes Task Force, Koeppen decided to see what personal information she could find using a peer-to-peer network.Thieves typically seek documents such as credit reports, tax returns, or the federal financial student aid application, Dunnsays.“Obviously,”says Dunn,“we aren't going to download it, because it's someone's personal information. I'm sure that, whoever (this file sharer) is didn't want her (student aid application) confirmation number available online for somebody to download.”Pope says she's done usingpeer-to-peer.“I've gotten all of that off my computer, ”she says.“I pay for music now. It's the best way to do it. There's no way that I would ever do that again.”The trade group for file sharing software companies says they are working on better systems to prevent the misuse of the peer-to-peer networks. Still, Koeppen urges that people, for instance, delete Lime Wire from their computers, or make sure they have the latest version, which should have updated security features.6.Thieves are trying to get access to your computer in order to .A. find your personal informationB. see how your computer is workingC. talk with youD. help you with your system7.Why did Beth Pope use peer-to-peer software?A. Because she wanted others to use her information.B. Because she wanted to try it.C. Because she wanted to increase her music library.D. Because she wanted to get others' financial information. 8.Susan Koeppen tried to .A. warn the readers of dangers of sharing music files with others.B. warn the readers not to share music files with others.C. tell us a true and funny storyD. advertise the peer-to-peer networks.9. From the passage we get to know .A. we shouldn't believe others.B. computers make our life easy and comfortable.C. softwares help us to share music with othersD. everything has two sides, the good side and the bad one10.根据对话内容,从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校高考英语二轮阅读理解基础训练题9Last night’s meteor(流星) shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers. According to Gabe Rothsclild, Emerald Valley’s mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city’s lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.“My family was so frustrated,” admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.”Astronomers---scientists who study stars and planets---have been complaining about this problem for decades. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds, bats, frogs, snakes, etc. For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating(迁徙的)birds. According to the International Dark-Sky Association. “100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”Countless more animals casualties(伤亡)result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans, too. They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase person’s chances of getting cancer.Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution. For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory. Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night.【文章大意】许多人想在晚上看流星雨,结果由于光线太亮,影响了他们的观看效果。

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校2014高考英语二轮阅读理解三月特训I’ve written 14 movies.My characters smoke in many of them, and they look cool and glamorous(有魅力的) doing it.Smoking was an integral (必需的) part of many of my screenplays because I was a heavy smoker.It was part of a bad-boy image I’d cultivated for a long time— smoking, drinking, partying, rock ’n’ roll.Smoking, I once believed, was every person’s right.The second-hand smoke was non-existent problem invented by professional do-gooders.I put all these views into my plays.Remembering all this, I find it hard to forgive myself.I have been an accomplice (帮凶) to the murders of untold numbers of human beings.I am admitting this only because I have made a deal with God.Spare me, I said, and I will try to stop others from committing the same crimes I did.Eighteen months ago I was diagnosed with throat cancer, the result of a lifetime of smoking.I am alive but disabled.Much of my larynx (喉) is gone.I have some difficulty speaking; others have some difficulty understanding me.I have n’t smoked or drunk for 18 months now, though I still take it day by day and pray for help.I believe in prayer and exercise.I have walked five miles a day for a year, without missing even one day.Quitting smoking and drinking has taught me the hardest less on I’ve ever learned about my own weakness; it has also given me the greatest affection and empathy(同感) for those still addicted.I don’t think smoking is every person’s right anymore.I think smoking should be as illegal as heroin(海洛因).I’m no longer such a bad boy.I go to church on Sunday.I’m desperate to see my four boys grow up.I want to do everything I can to undo the damage I have done with my own big-screen words and images.Screen writers know, too, that some movie stars are more likely to play a part if they can smoke —because they are so addicted to smoking that they have difficulty stopping even during the shooting of a scene.My hands are bloody; so are Hollywood’s.My cancer has caused me to attempt to cleanse(彻底清洁) me.I don’t wish my fate upon any one in Hollywood, but I beg that Hollywood should stop putting it upon millions of others.1. The main idea of this passage probably is _________.A. the writer is ashamed of the bad effects his screenplays have hadon human beingsB. the writer’s smoking experience nearly killed himselfC. the bad effects that Hollywood screenplay have brought to childrenD. the determination of the writer to overcome his illness答案解析:答案为A。

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校2014高考英语二轮阅读理解三月特训[故事型阅读理解]------(一)I still remember—my hands and my fingers still remember—what used to lie in store for us on our return to school from the holidays. The trees in the school yard would be in full leaf again and the old leaves would be lying around like a muddy sea of leaves.“Get that all swept up!” the headmaster would tell us. “I want the whole place cleaned up, at once!” There was enough work there, to last over a week. Especially since the only tools with which we were provided were our hands, our fingers, and our nails. “Now see that it's done properly, and be quick about it,” the headmaster would say to the older pupils, “or you'll have to answer for it!”So at an order from the older boys we would all line up like peanuts about to cut and gather in crops. If the work was not going as quickly as the headmaster expected, the big boys, instead of giving us a helping hand, used to find it simpler to beat us with branches pulled from the trees. In order to avoid these blows, we used to bribe(贿赂) the older boys with the juicy cakes we used to bring for our midday meals. And if we happened to have any money on us, the coins changed hands at once. If we did not do this, if we were afraid of going home with an empty stomach or an empty purse, the blows were redoubled. They hit us so violently and with such evil enjoyment that even a deaf and dumb person would have realized that we were being whipped not so much to make us work harder, but rather to beat us into a state of obedience(服从) in which we would be only too glad to give up our food and money.Occasionally one of us, worn out by such calculated cruelty, would have the courage to complain to the headmaster. He would of course be very angry, but the punishment he gave the older boys was always very small—nothing compared to what they had done to us. And the fact is that however much we complained, our situation did not improve i n the slightest. Perhaps we should have let our parents know what was going on, but somehow we never dreamed of doing so; I don't know whether it was loyalty or pride that kept us silent, but I can see now that we were foolish to keep quiet about it, for such beatings were completely foreign to our nature.1.The statement “my hands and my fingers still remember” (Para.1) means that________.A.the author's hands were severely injured in the cleaning upB.the author seldom did such hard work as the cleaning upC.the author was bullied by the big boys in the cleaning upD.the author's hands were his only tool for the cleaning up2.The headmaster would tell the students to clean up the school yard at the beginning of the term because________.A.he was too lazyB.there were many fallen leaves on the groundC.the school yard was co vered with mudD.the students didn't finish their homework3.The headmaster asked the older boys to________.A.beat those who worked slowlyB.treat the small boys as peanutsC.take charge of the process of the cleaning upD.do the cleaning up all by themselves4.According to Para. 3, if the author had any money on him, he most probably________.A.gave it to the big boys so as to please themB.gave it as a bribe to the headmasterC.spent it all on his midday mealD.spent it buying midday meals for the big boys5.When receiving complaints, the headmaster would deal with the big boys by means of ________.A.slight punishment B.harsh criticismC.complete indifference D.good beatings(一)【要点综述】本文为记叙文。

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校2013高考英语二轮阅读理解(三月强化训练09)及答案(1)Ask any person who is successful in whatever he or she is doing what motivates him/her, and very likely the answer will be "goals". Goal Setting is extremely important to motivation and success. So what motivates you? Why are you in college? If you are in college because that's what your parents want, you may find it difficult to motivate yourself. Sure, it's possible to succeed with someone else providing the motivation for you. ("If you graduate from college, I'll give you a car!" or worse "If you don't graduate from college, you won't get a car.") But motivation that comes from within really makes the difference.Certainly, you need some intelligence, knowledge base, study skills, and time management skills, but if you don't have motivation, you won't get far. Think about this analogy. You have a car with a full tank of gas, a well-tuned engine, good set of tires, quadraphonic CD system, and a sleek, polished exterior(外表). There it sits. This car has incredible potential. (Have you heard that before?) However, until a driver sits behind the wheel, puts the key in the ignition(点火装置), and cranks it up, the car doesn't function. You guessed it; the KEY is MOTIVATION.Interest is an important motivator for a student. So is a desire to learn. When you link these two things together, you create success. Often success in an endeavor leads to more interest and a greater desire to learn, creating an upward spiral(螺旋形) of motivation toward a goal you have established.So be honest with yourself. Are you genuinely interested in being in college? Have you set realistic goals for yourself? How can you develop the internal motivation that really counts? When it comes to motivation, KNOWING is not as important as DOING.1.Why does the writer give the example of a car in the second paragraph?A.Because people can never go far without a good car.B. Because a good car motivates some college students to study harder.C. Because a good car is a symbol of being a success.D. Because motivation leads people to success like it starts a car.2. What is the CORRECT understanding of the internal motivation and theexternal (外部的)motivation?A. Only the internal motivation can result in success.B. Internal motivation outweighs external motivation.C. Internal motivation and external motivation has equal importance.D. External motivation is enough for people to achieve success.3. According to the article the following factors can push peopletowards their goals EXCEPT __________?A. interestB. the desire to learnC. the knowledge of motivationD. the sense of success4. What’s the main purpose of the article?A. To inspire everyone to develop motivation for whatever they are doing..B. To motivate college students to set goals for their college life.C. To imply that the less motivated college students quit the college.D. To call on parents to give up their over-protection of their children.5. What may be the writer’s advice to the potential readers?A. The goals you set for yourself shouldn’t be far beyond your reach.B. You needn’t attend college if you are really not interested in it.C. You should work harder to win praise from others.D. Honesty is the best policy to solve problems in your life.参考答案 1---5 D B C B A********************************************************结束链接·2 2010全国二卷③Thousands of people living in the Chinese capital will celebrate the start of the Chinese New Year by heading for the ski resorts(滑雪场).Never mind that Beijing’s dry weather seldom produces now. It is cold enough in winter for snow-making machines to make a covering for the hills north to the capital. And the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this New craze(热潮).Since Beijing’s first ski resort was opened ten years ago, the sport has enjoyed an astonishing increase. There are now more than a dozen resorts. Clothes markets in the city have added bright colored ski suits to their winter collections. Mr.Wei, a manager of a newly-opened ski resort in Beijing, sees the growth of an industry that could soon lead Chinese to head for the ski resorts of Europe. In recent years ski resorts offering natural snow have opened in China. But many are in faraway areas of the country and can’t really match the equipment and services of some ski resorts in Europe.Beijing’s skiing craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private cars. This has led to the growth of a leisure industry in the capital’s suburbs, which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people. According to Mr. Wei, About 40% of the visitors to his resort some in their own cars. The rest are bused in by schools, businesses or government offices.The problem is making money. Starting ski resort requires quite a lot of money: hiring land from the local government, preparing the hills, buying snow machines ,making sure there are enough water and electricity to run them, and buying ski equipment for hiring out to customers. The ski resort where Mr.Wei works cost nearly $4m to set up. And, as so often in China when someone comes up with a good idea, many others rush in andprice wars break out. Beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world, though with most people rather new to the sport, expecting a few more doing the same job. 50.What does this text mainly talk about?A .Convenience for skiers brought about by private carsB .Skiing as a new way of enjoying one ’s spare timeC .Things to be considered when starting a ski resortD .A sudden increase of ski training classes in Beijing 51.Why are some Chinese likely to go skiing in Europe?A .To visit more ski areasB .To ski on natural snowC .For a large collection of ski suitsD .For better services and equipment52.The underlined words ”leisure industry ” in Paragraph 3 refer toA .transport to ski resortsB .production of family carsC .business of providing spare time enjoymentsD .part-time work for people living in the suburbs 53.What is the main problem in running a ski resort?A .Difficulty in hiring landB .Lack of business experienceC. prices wars with other ski resorts.D .Shortage of water and electricity·错题集52. 本题难度较大,很多考生从文章大意出发,从而选择了A 项;但是要做好本题只有看好本词汇的上下文进行推断,如果做题经验丰富,注意到50题的选项B 的内容,也有助于本题的选择,如果这几个方面有所缺漏的话,答案就很难选出。

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校2014高考英语二轮阅读理解三月特训【高三考前冲刺卷(三)】BA woman and her elderly uncle were waiting for a bus at a corner in downtown Chicago.Buses came by,not the one they wanted.The woman finally halfentered one of the buses and asked the driver if the bus she wanted stopped at that corner.The driver looked at her but made no answer,so she repeated the question.To her surprise,he then closed the door,by her arm,and drove off.The woman,her arm stuck in the door,ran alongside the bus,shouting.Passengers said the driver stopped after almost a block only because they,too,were shouting.When the driver finally did stop and open the door,the woman jumped on the bus to get his bus number.Then he took off again and went another couple of blocks before other shouting passengers persuaded him to stop and let the woman off.After the driver’s bosses at a taxsupported governmental company(CIA) heard of the incident,they looked into it and set his punishment:a fiveday suspension(停职) without pay.That struck me as rather light. But Bill Baxa,the company’s pubicrelations man,said,“That’s a pretty serious punishment.”Five days off work is a serious punishment for dragging a woman alongside a bus by her arm?Baxa said,“Any time you take money away from someone,it is a terrible punishment.The driver makes $14 an hour.Multiply that by 40 and you can see what he lost.”Yes,that comes to $560,a good sum.But we know that people in the private company are fired for far less minor mistakes.If the people who run the bus company think th at the loss of a week’s pay is more than enough,I offer them a sporting(公正的) suggestion:Give me a bus.Then have their wives stick their arms in the doorway of the bus,and I’ll slam the door shut,start the bus quickly and take them for a fast oneblock run.And I’ll pay $560 to anyone who is bold enough to try it.Any takers?Mr. Baxa?Anyone?I didn’t think so.31.The nurse halfentered one of the buses because________.A.the bus they wanted didn’t stop thereB.she wanted the driver to stop the busC.she wanted to get some information from the driverD.she and her uncle couldn’t wait any longer at the corner32.How many blocks was the woman away from the corner where she waited when the bus driver finally let her off?A.Almost one block.B.Almost two blocks.C.Probably three blocks.D.Probably five or six blocks.33.Why did the author offer a sporting suggestion?A.Because the CTA paid little attention to the incident. B.Because he bus driver had not been fired.C.Because he wanted to threaten the CTA people.D.Because he thought the punishment was a light one.34.From this passage we may infer that________.A.many people in the private sector are fired for minor mistakes every dayB.people in the private sector usually get more serious punishment than those in the public sectorC.people in the private sector get much higher pay than those in the public sectorD.people in the private sector are better trained than those in the public sector35.Which of the following is NOT true?A.The company is a bus company supported by the government.B.The writer and Mr.Baxa disagreed with each other on the bus company’s decision.C.The driver finally stopped the bus under the pressure of the passengers.D.The writer asked the bus company to give him a bus if his suggestion was refused.31.C [从第一段最后一句的后半部分可知,她问情况,也就是打听信息。

2019 高考英语二轮强化训练—阅读理解 09ANearly everyone is shy in some ways. If shyness is making you uncomfortable, it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence. You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists.Make a decision not to hold back in conversations. What you have to say is just as important as what other people say. And don’t turn down party invitations just because of your shyness.Prepare yourself for being with others in groups. Make a list of the good qualities you have. Then make a list of ideas, experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people. Think about what you would like to say in advance. Then say it.If you start feeling self-conscious in a group, take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people. Remember, you are not alone. Other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too.No one ever gets over being shy completely, but most people do learn to live with their shyness. Even entertainers admit that they often feel shy. They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the cameras and the public. Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards. But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know more about you.56.Where would this article probably appear?A.In a popular magazine.

D.In an encyclopedia.( 百科全书 )57.The main purpose of the article is to .A.explain how shyness developed B.recommend ways of dealing with shynessC.persuade readers that shyness is natural D.prove that shyness can overcome58.Which of these can you conclude from reading the article?A.Shy people never have any fun.

B.Shy men and women.C.doctors and psychologists D.Popular entertainers.BAs we know, it is very important that a firm should pay attention to the training of its staff as there exist many weak points in its various departments. Staff training must have a purpose, which I defined(解释) when a firm considers its training needs, which are in turn based on job descriptions and job specifications.A job description should give details of the performance that is required for a particular job, and a job specification should give information about the behaviour, knowledge and skills that are expected of an employee who works in it. When all of this has been collected, it is possible to make a training specification. This specifies that the training department must teach for the successful performance of the job, and also the best methods to use in the training period.There are many different training methods, and there are advantages and disadvantages of all of them. Successful training performances depend on an understanding of the difference between learning about skills and training in using them. It is frequently said that learning about skills takes place “off the job” in classroom, but training in using theseskills takes place “on the job,”by means of such activities as practice in the workshop.It’s always difficult to evaluate the costs of a training programme. The success of such a programme depends not only on the methods used but also on the quality of the staff who do the training. The evaluation of management training is much more complex than that.60.To be successful in our training programme, we must understand the difference between.A.a job description and a job specification B.what is taught, and how it is taughtC.the costs and the quality of the programme D.the training contents and training in using61.According to passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A.As there exist weak points in different departments of a firm, the training of its staff ishighly necessary.B.A training specification is based on the information collectedfrom a job description and a job specification.C.Training in using skills and learning about skills usually do not happen at the same time.D.It’s easier to evaluate management training than to evaluatethe training of workers and technicians.62.The best title for the passage might be .A.Staff training and its evaluation B.A successful training programmeC.How to describe and specify a job D.The importance of training the staff63.From the passage we know the success of a training programme lies in .A.the training methods and the quality of the training staffB.the performance of the trainees in the programmeC.the places where the training programmes take placeD.the way to evaluate the training programmeCFive years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict(有瘾旳人)”he jokes.“I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.”Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and a sports shirt—to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie.“I am working harder than ever.”David says,“and I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday).This became known as“dress-down Friday”or“casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.”said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes?One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.”“A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company,“so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative(保守旳)dress code.”Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believethat casual dress improves employee morale(心境,士气). Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,”one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”64.David Smith refers to himself as having been“a clothes addict,” because .A.he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt B.he couldn’t stand a clean appearanceC.he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time D.he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes65.David Smith wears casual clothes now, because .A.they make him feel at ease when working B.he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC.he looks handsome in casual clothes D.he no longer works for any company66.According to this passage, which of the following statements is FALSE?A.Many employees don’t like a conservative dress code.B.Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.C.A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.D.All the employers in the U. S. are for casual office wear.67.According to this passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?pany workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.B.Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 90s.C.“Dress-down Friday”was first given as a favor from employers.D.Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people. 68.In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentionedEXCEPT .

Both were known as strong currencies across the world, so it is not surprising that Britain wants to have its people vote about changing currencies before making a decision. In the 15-member European Union, Britain, Denmark and Sweden chose not to adopt the euro.The decision about a single currency was taken 10 years ago. On January 1,1999,11 European countries began to use the new euro currency: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portuguese, Spain. Greece became the 12th country to adopt the euro on January 1,2002. It became the official, single currency of these nations on January 1,2002.At present, all prices in 12 countries are valued in euro. Each “old”currency stopped being used completely on February 28.The coins have one side the same in all 12 countries. The other side is different in each country. The notes will look the same throughout the euro area. On the notes, pictures of gateways and bridges represent European openness and co-operation.As the euro becomes the only currency in the euro-zone, its symbol will become as well-known as the US dollar or Coca-Cola symbols. But Arthur Eisenmenger, now 86 and the designer of the symbol, seems to have been forgotten. He now lives in an old people’s home in Germany.European Commission President, Jacques Santer, introduced the euro symbol to the world in 1997. He said it was a sign of the weight of European civilization, and “E”for Europe, and the lines crossing through stand for the euro being a dependable currency. Even then, he never mentionedEisenmenger, who designed the euro symbol more than a quarter of a century ago.72.The euro symbol was designed by Eisenmenger .A.in the 1970s B.in the 1980s C.in 1997 D.in 1999 73.Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A.The euro is the official single currency of Italy.B.Germany used to use German deutschmark as its currency.C.All the 15-member European Union doesn’t adopt the euro.D.France can’t use French franc after January, 1,2002 74.Europe’s new currency will help to.A.make people live a peaceful life in Europe.B.make it convenient for people to travel in twelve European counties.C.settle the problem of banknote forgery(伪造)D.make Europe much stronger than it used to be75.Britain wants to have its people vote about changing currencies beforemaking a decision because .A.people have the right to decide important things.B.the government of Britain is willing to do things against people’s willC.the currency of Britain-pound is known as a strong currencyD.Britain has not the tradition to use the same currency with other European countries56—59ABDC 60—63DDAA 64—68CADCB69—71BAA 72—75ADDC。

2021高考英语二轮阅读理解三月特训Though war is something people hate, Director Feng Xiaoning often exposes his audience to it.“If we don’t impress the audience, who are without the painful experience of war, with the cruel injury to life and human nature war causes, how can we bring them a love of peace and objection to war?” asked the director with a glance in his eyes.After Red River Valley and Lover’s Grief over the Yellow River, both of which star Chinese model and actress Ning Jing, Feng drew a satisfactory full stop to his war trilogy (三部曲) last month with Purple Sunset.The film tells a story which took place in 1945, at the very moment when World War II was drawing to an end. A Chinese peasant and a Soviet woman soldier flee into a forest, where they seize a Japanese girl. They follow the girl in the hope that she will take them out of the forest, but instead they arri ve in a Japanese base. Humanity (人道主义) prevents them from killing the young, innocent (无辜的) victim of Japanese militarism. This humanity, the longing for peace and eagerness to survive, make the three unite.“If people are touched by justice, tolerance and unselfishness, I think I have achieved my goal,” Feng said. Feng admits that there are violent and bloody scenes in the film, such as tanks fighting and Japanese burning Chinese people alive, to show the cruelty of the war. But that’s never his personal preference, he says.“Everyone who has watched my films can tell how much I hate war,” he said. “I wrote all the things for my war films by my self. Whenever I finished one, I felt as though I had suffered great pain.”Feng regards every one of his productions as an opportunity to learn about human nature and humanity. In spite of violent scenes which frighten and sicken the audience, a balance is sought with beautiful scenery. Just like the sno wy mountains in Red River Valley and the grand plateau (高原) in Lover’s Grief over the Yellow River, a beautiful vast grassland appears in this film. “I used to study art, and I appreciate beautiful things,” Feng said. “I believe that films should offer the audience a chance to enjoy beauty.”1.Director Feng Xiaoning shot war film because _____.A. he was deeply interested in such a topicB. he wanted to give the audience the painful experience of warC. he hoped to arouse people’s love of peace and objection to warD. he dreamed of becoming a world-famous director2.All of the following belong to Feng’s war trilogy except _____.A. Red River ValleyB. Lover’s Grief over the Yellow RiverC. Purple SunsetD. In the Mood for Love3.A Chinese peasant and a Soviet woman solider seized a Japanese girl so that _____.A. they could find the Japanese base easilyB. she could take them out of the forestC. they could kill her for revengeD. it would cause the Japanese militarism to give in4.Scenes of Japanese burning Chinese people alive i n the film are to ______.A. show that war is cruelB. attract people’s interestC. show Feng’s personal preference in dealing with detailsD. make the film moving and interesting5.第三部分:阅读明白得(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

We find that bright children are seldom held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming(按能力分班) pupils. It does not consider the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have had effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright children. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be the bottom of the top grade.Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual(智力) ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We care much about the development of all the pupils’ abilities to the f ull, not just their study ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching does good to these aspects of learning. In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups; this gives them the chance to learn to work together, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to deal with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze(分析) an devaluate(评价) and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teachers.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual(个人) tasks, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is proper. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this well. An advanced pupil can do advanced work and it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to achieve this goal.56. By “held back” in the first paragraph, the writer means “________”.A. made to remain in the same classB. forced to study in the lower classC. drawn away form their studiesD. prevented from advancing57. The writer’s purpose of writing this passage is to ________.A. argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same classB. advise pair work and group work for classroom activityC. offer advice on the proper use of the libraryD. tell us the importance of proper formal classroom teaching58. What would be the best title for the text?A. Pair work.B. Group work.C. Mixed-ability teachingD. Individual tasks.2.第二部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2.5分,满分50分)Proper arrangement of classroom space is important to encouraging interaction. Most of us have noticed how important physical setting is to efficiency and comfort in our work. College classroom space should be designed to encourage the activity of critical thinking.We have entered the 21st century, but step into almost any college classroom and you step back in time at least a hundred years. Desks are normally in straight rows, so students can clearly see the teacher but not all their classmates. The message behind such an arrangement is obvious. Everything of importance comes from the teacher.With a little imagination and effort, unless desks are fixed to the floor, the teacher can correct this situation and create space that encourage interchange among students. In small or standard-size classes, chairs, desks, and tables can be arranged in a variety of ways. The primary goal should be for everyone to be able to see everyone else. Large classes, particularly those held in lecture halls, unfortunately, allow much less flexibility.Arrangement of the classroom should also make it easy to divide students into small groups for discussion or problem-solving exercises. Small classes with movable desks and tables present no problem. Even in large lecture halls, it is possible for students to turn around and form groups of four to six. Breaking a class into small groups provides more opportunities for students to interact with each other, think out loud, and see how other students’ thinking processes operate all essential elements in developing new modes of critical thinking. In courses that regularly use a small group format, students might be asked to stay in the same small groups throughout the course. A colleague of mine, John, allows students to move around during the first two weeks, until they find a group they are comfortable with. John then asks them to stay in the same seat, with the same group, from that time on. This not only creates a comfortable setting for interaction but helps him learn students’ names and faces.1. The primary purpose of desk rearrangement is _______.A. for the teacher to divide students into small groups.B. to make it possible for students to interact with each other.C. for the teacher to find out how students think.D. to give students more opportunities to practice speaking.2. The expression “step back in time at least a hundred years” in Paragraph2 is intended to convey the idea that _______.A. there is not much change in educational idea over the past hundred yearsB. critical thinking was encouraged even a century agoC. college classrooms often remind people of their college lifeD. a hundred years ago, desk arrangement in a classroom was quite different3. The greatest advantage in allowing each student to find his own group might be that________A. learning is made comfortable in this wayB. the teacher can easily remember students’ names and facesC. the teacher saves the trouble in doing thatD. brighter students can help slower ones.4. It is implied in the passage that ______.A. students are allowed to changed groups throughout the course in John’sB. classroom interaction between students is essential to the teachersC. a comfortable environment leads to higher working efficiencyD. new kinds of desks and chairs should be made5. The author mentioned John in the last paragraph in order to ________A. create a comfortable setting for interactionB. introduce an approach of le arning students’ names and faces easilyC. give an example that students stay in the same seat throughout the course.D. describe a good seat-arrangement mode in courses with small group format. Some spiders hunt on the ground, others build webs to trap their food, but the grass water spider catches its prey by running along the surface of the water. This special water spider lives on the grassy banks of streams where mosquitoes, damsel flies and other insects come to feed and breed.Although it is one of the largest spiders in New Zealand, it has an unusual ability. It doesn’t disturb the water as it waits for its meal, and there is barely a ripple(波纹) when it skims(掠过) across the surface at lightning speed to catch its prey.Grass water spiders deal swiftly with larger insects like damsel flies by pulling their heads under the water and holding them there until they drown.After a meal, the grass water spider spends up to half an hour grooming(修饰) itself. It wipes its eight eyes, brushes its antennae(触角), and takes special care to clean the hairs on its body.It is the hairs that trap tiny bubbles(泡沫) of air so that the spider can run down a blade(叶片) of grass and stay underwater for up to an hour when it is frightened. The hairs also keep the spider dry, even underwater.It is only when the female spider is caring for the young that she does not hunt on the water. After mating, she produces a large egg sac(囊), which she carries around for five weeks. Once the eggs start to hatch, she attaches the sac to some blades of grass or a thistle. She then tears the sac open and releases the tiny spiders into the nursery web.3.How does the grass water spider kill its prey?A. in a webB. by drowningC. by poisoningD. with its antennae4.the writer describes the special spider as “special” because _______.A. it walks on waterB. it has eight eyesC. of its hairy appearanceD. of the way it produces its young5.The passage tells us that the spider ______.A. feeds grass and thistles to its young.B. lives on blades of grass under the waterC. lives in the grass on the banks of streamsD. eats a meal once every five weeks6.The purpose of the passage is to _______.A. convince readers that spiders are dangerousB. indicate that the grass water spider is endangeredC. list all of the spiders that can be found in New ZealandD. describe the characteristics of the grass water spiderThe bicycling craze came in when we were just about at the right age to enjoyto ride, and they had to have tricycles.My mother had(I believe)the first female tricycle in Cambridge;and l had a little one,and we used to go out for family rides,all together;my father in front on a bicycle. and my poor brather Charles standing miserable on the bar behind lny mother.I found it very hard work.pounding(轰隆隆行进)away on my hard tyres;a glorious,but not a pleasurable pastinle.Then, one day at lunch, my father said he had just seen a new kind of tyre,filled up,with air,and he thought it might be a success.And soon after that everyone had bicycles,ladies and all; and bicycling became the smart thing,and the lords and ladies had their pictures in the papers,riding along in the park,in straw hats.My mother must have fallen off her bicycle pretty often,for I remember seeing the most appalling cuts and bruises(青肿)on her legs.But she never complained,and always kept these accidents to herself.However,the great Mrs. Phillips,our cook, always knew all a hout them;as indeed she knew practically everything that ever happened.She used to draw us into the servants' hall to tell us privately:“Her Ladyship had a nasty fall yesterday;she cut both her knees and sprained her wrist.But don't Iet her know I told you.”So we never dared say anything.Similar little accidents used to occur when,at the age of nearly Seventy,she insisted on learning to drive a car.She never mastered the art of reversing(倒车),and was in every way an unconventional and terrifying driver. Mrs.Phillips used then to tell us:“Her Ladyship ran into the back of a milk-cart yesterday;but it wasn't much hurt”;or“A policeman stopped her Ladyship because she was on the wrong side of the road;but she said she didn't know what the white Line on the road meant,so he explained arld Let her go on.”Mrs.Phillips must have had an excellent Intelligence Service at her command,for the stories were always true enough.7.Women did not ride bicycles at first betause .A.bicycling demanded too much hard workB.bicycling was considered unsafe and unladylikeC.they preferred to ride tricyclesD.tricycles could carry young children as well8.How did the writer feel about tricycles?A.They were very hard to ride.B.Riding tricycles was an enjoyble arnusement.C.They were not as fast as bicycles.D.They were not proper for women to ride.9.Cycling became popular when .A.the writer's father popularized it B.air-filled tyres began to be usedC.noble people started enjoying it D.newspapers had pictures of cyclists10.The writer admired Mrs.Phillips because .A.she was the best cook they had ever hadB.she was in command of all the setvantsC.she could keep secretsD.she had an outstanding ability to gather informationA.she could not control the car well B.she was very old then C.she ignored the traffic signs D.she behaved too proudlyThe bo oking notes of the play “the Age of Innocence”:Price: $10BOOKINGThere are four easy ways to book seats for performance:------ in personThe Box Office is open Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. ---8 p.m.------ by telephoneRing 01324976 to book your tickets or to pay by credit card(Visa, MasterCard and Amex accepted)------ by postSimply complete the booking form and return it to Global Theatre Box Office. ------ on lineComplete the on-line booking form at www.

On the third day, however, Julia did not have a dollar coin. She had only fifty cents, so she dropped this into the beggar’s bowl.“What have I done wrong?” the beggar said, “Why are you so stingy (吝啬的) today?”Julia was very surprised at the beggar . “How do you know I haven't given you a dollar?” she said, “If you’re blind you can't know what coin I put into your bowl.”“Ah,” explained the beggar,“The truth is that I'm not blind. I'm just looking after this place for the regular beggar while he’s on holiday.”“On holiday?” Julia said, “And what exactly does your blind friend do on holiday?”“He goes into the countryside,”the man said, “and takes photographs.

2014届高考英语二轮复习三月精品练习阅读理解Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami(海啸), adding weight to ideas they possess a “sixth sense” for disasters, experts said on Thursday. Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the giant waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island’s coast seemingly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals found.“No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit. I think animals can se nse disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening,”H.D. Ratnayake, deputy director of Sri Lanka’s Wildlife Department, said on Wednesday.The waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km (2 miles) inland at Yala National Park in the south east, Sri Lanka’s biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants. “There has been a lot of evidence about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proven,” said Matthew van Lierop, an an imal behaviour specialist at Johannesburg Zoo.“There have been no specific studies because you can’t really test it in a lab or field setting,” he said.Other authorities agreed with this conclusion.“Wildlife seem to be able to pick up certain phenome non, especially birds. There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters,” said Clive Walker, who has written several books on African wildlife.Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators(食肉动物).The idea of an animal “sixth sense” is a lasting one that the evidence on Sri Lanka’s damaged coast is likely to add to.1.This passage is mainly about________.A. the damage that was caused in the Indian Ocean tsunamiB. why animals can save them from natural disastersC. how to protect the wildlife when disaster happensD. the different opinions about animals’ natural power2.Which of the following is true according to the text?A. It has been proved that animals have a “sixth sense”.B. Research has been made on the special movements of animals before disasters.C. It’s generally considered that animals can sense the coming of disasters.D. Animals have depended on the known senses to escape the Indian Ocean tsunami. 3.What does the term “sixth sense” in the text means?A. It is the natural ability of animals that can save them from danger.B. It is the animal’s imagination in the brain.C. It is some hidden power to say in advance that something will happen.D. It is a kind of sense that is the same as smell or hearing.4.Which section does the text most probably appear in a newspaper?5.In America, drivers’ education is part of the regular high school curriculum. Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver’s education. However, unlike other courses, it is not givenThe course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to practise driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students have a text from which they study the basic laws they must know to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone wanting toDriving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel (steering wheel) and practice starting steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners, and all the other maneuvers (操作) required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided up into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two hour blocks of time. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor and “driver” sit in the front seats and the other three studentsDrivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes, one on the driver’s side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution(小心) the student driver is a beginning driver, not veryAfter the student has passed the driver’s education course and reached the appropriate age to drive (this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to a designated state office to take their driver’s test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The person must pass all three tests in order to be given a driver’s license. If the person did well in his or her driver’s education class,1. In America, the driver’s course mentioned above___________.A. is considered as part of theD. is offered to all the students of Grade 2 in high schoolsA. has a sign inside itC. is big enough to hold five personsD. can’t run very fast3. We can infer that the students are required to ______ in their whole driving practice.A. go out driving for twelve timesB. spend at least six hoursC. drive for two hour blocks of timeD. get half an hour driving4. Which of the following does not agree with the requirements for the studentsA. They must be 16 years of ageB. They should go to have their driver’s testC. They must have their eyes examinedD. They ought to do well in their driver’s courseA. happilyB. successfullyC. colorfullyD. quicklyMillions of people are now using what are called“peer-to-peer”networks. Basically, you link your computer to other computers all across the country, mostly so you can give something in exchange for music for free.“But here's the problem,”“Early Show”Consumer Correspondent Susan Koeppen says as part of the broadcast's series, “Somebody's Watching You”: thieves are using the same networks, and they're not interested in music-they're seeking access to your financial information.Beth Pope learned the hard way. When she put peer-to-peer software on her computer, she had one goal in mind: increasing her music library.“I thought I could get access to other people's music folders and they could have access to my music folders,”she says,“and that was about it. I didn't think it went any further than that.”Are Your Medical Records Watched? That is, until she was contacted by the Secret Service-with shocking news-someone had stolen personal information from her computer-using the very software she used to trade music. With the help of David Dunn, a member of the Secret Service Electronic Crimes Task Force, Koeppen decided to see what personal information she could find using a peer-to-peer network.Thieves typically seek documents such as credit reports, tax returns, or the federal financial student aid application, Dunn says.“Obviously,”says Dunn,“we aren't going to download it, because it's someone's personal information. I'm sure that, whoever (this file sharer) is didn't want her (student aid application) confirmation number available online for somebody to download.”Pope says she's done using peer-to-peer.“I've gotten all of that off my computer, ”she says.“I pay for music n ow. It's the best way to do it. There's no way that I would ever do that again.”The trade group for file sharing software companies says they are working on better systems to prevent the misuse of the peer-to-peer networks. Still, Koeppen urges that people, for instance, delete Lime Wire from their computers, or make sure they have the latest version, which should have updated security features.6.Thieves are trying to get access to your computer in order to .A. find your personal informationB. see how your computer is workingC. talk with youD. help you with your system7.Why did Beth Pope use peer-to-peer software?A. Because she wanted others to use her information.B. Because she wanted to try it.D. Because she wanted to get others' financial information.8.Susan Koeppen tried to .A. warn the readers of dangers of sharing music files with others.B. warn the readers not to share music files with others.C. tell us a true and funny storyD. advertise the peer-to-peer networks.9. From the passage we get to know .A. we shouldn't believe others.B. computers make our life easy and comfortable.C. softwares help us to share music with othersD. everything has two sides, the good side and the bad one10.根据对话内容,从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
