AIt’s such a happy-looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm-tree stickers and shelter ed from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, it’s pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.It’s a library built w ith love.A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “That’s what we’re going to do for our spring break!”Son Austin, now a 10th-grader, didn’t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he’d built years earlier for daughter Abbie’s toy horses, and made a door of glass.After adding the library’s final touches (装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book,” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.They stocked it with 20 or so books they’d already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids’ favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again,” said Janey, a stay-at-home mom.Since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.The project’s best payoff, says Peter, are the thank-you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”【文章大意】文章主要讲述了Janey Henriksen一家建立微型图书馆的故事。

A．A fellow speaker from California named Geri flew to Japan, in her favorite jeans and a casual jacket, to give her first speech. Fourteen hours later, four perfectly dressed Japanese gentlemen greeted her at Narita Airport. Smiling and bowing low, they handed her their business cards. With her bag in one hand, Geri took their cards with the other. She thanked them, glanced briefly at the cards, and put them into her jeans pocket quickly.When the five of them arrived at the hotel, they invited Geri to tea in the lobby (大厅). While sipping tea, the gentlemen presented her with a small gift which she eagerly opened. She was thrilled with the gift and shouted excitedly, “Oh, it’s beautiful!”At this point, the four Japanese gentlemen stood up and, bowing only very slightly, said “Sayonara” and left immediately. Poor Geri was left astonished. What did she do wrong?Everything! Her jeans were the first gaffe. Even if you’re coming off a bicycle in Japan, you do not meet clients (客人) casually dressed. The second mistake was Ger i’s handling of their business cards rudely. In Japan, the business card is one of the most important communicative tools. It is always presented and accepted respectfully with both hands. However, Geri put their cards away much too quickly. In Japan, people use business cards as a conversation starter. You chat about each other’s cards and work and do not put theirs away until they gently and respectfully place yours in safekeeping. Putting it carelessly into her jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect.Then, the fourth horror of horrors was that Geri should not have opened the gift in front of her clients. In a land where saving face is critical, it would beembarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice as the one they received. What is wors e, Geri hadn’t even given them a gift!【文章大意】本文叙述了来自加利福尼亚的Geri坐飞机来到了日本，由于不熟悉日本的礼仪，引起了日本人的误会。

【广东专用】2014高考英语二轮专题知识与增分策略第三部分主旨大意题

考纲解读高中英语教学大纲明确规定“侧重提高阅读能力”，这为我们的备考指明了方向。

分析近几年的高考英语试题，我们不难看出，阅读理解是高考试题中难度最大，区分度最高的题型，自始至终占据着主导地位。

阅读理解能力属于语言的领会技能，它不仅考查对语篇的整体把握能力，而且考查快速捕捉信息、准确理解特定细节以及复杂句子的能力。

不仅要准确理解文章表层的意思，还要通过表层去推理、判断。

除此之外，还涉及非语言因素，如：对所学语言国家的社会和文化背景知识的掌握、生活常识、逻辑知识和语言修养等。

考情分析纵观近几年各地英语试卷，阅读理解题有如下特点：1．突出语用，体裁多样，题材丰富阅读理解题体裁分布包括记叙文、说明文、应用文和议论文等，涉及的话题新颖广泛，体现了其多样化、现代化和生活化的特点，综合反映了政治、经济、文化和生活的各个方面，具有鲜明的英语语言文化特点，体现了“语言是文化的载体”这一重要理念。

2．信息密集，句子优美，结构复杂阅读理解题每篇都是以简约的语言负载高含量的信息，要求准确迅速地从特定的语篇中有目的地获取信息。

阅读理解文章的句子原汁原味、语言地道、纯正优美，而且篇章结构和句子结构都有一定的难度。

考点1主旨大意之精确归纳标题真题解密In the animal kingdom，weakness can bring about aggression in other animals.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me，pour cream into my coffee，or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience，I see the best in people，but sometimes I feel sad because thosewho appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don’t get to see this soft side of others.Often we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness，which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.Last month，when I was driving home on a busy highway，I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry，with some speeding up alongside me，horning(按喇叭) or even shouting at me.At that moment，I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights，I was saying to the other drivers，“I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can.”And everyone understood.Several times，I saw drivers who wanted to pass.They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic.But instead of getting impatient and angry，they waited，knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way.But those are few and far between.More often，it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we’re scared.(2011·广东，A)26．The author has discovered that people will feel happy when________.A．they offer their helpB．they receive others’ helpC．they feel others’ kindnessD．they show their weakness答案 A解析细节理解题。

(广东专用)(新课标)2014届高考英语二轮复习方案 专题限时训练(二十)社会生活型阅读理解1

专题限时训练(二十) [社会生活型阅读理解(一)](限时：25分钟)AI've spent over a year in India, and in those 365 plus days, I've learned a lot about getting around Indian cities. My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated, particularly by taxi and rickshaw (人力车) drivers, but that doesn't mean those are bad ways to travel, as long as you know what you're doing. Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi, India, and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams (欺诈)．Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are, if you arrive in Delhi by plane, as soon as you make it through customs, you'll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers. At the Delhi airport, be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths. One is inside the airport, and the other is outside. The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police, rather than by independent taxi drivers.Rickshaws are one of my favourite ways to get around Indian cities, in part because it's how the locals often travel. Auto­rickshaws are more common, but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi. If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw, you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees. Auto­rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees, depending on the distance.If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals, take a public bus. Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning. They are, however, very cheap. A bus trip won't set you back any more than 15 rupees, as long as you stay within the city limits. Since Indian buses get so crowded, try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi. Fares are reasonable, between 6 and 22 rupees. All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English, and tokens can be purchased for between 6 and 22 rupees.1. The author is trying to ________ in Delhi through this text.A．give some advice of travellingB．expect us to travel aroundC．show his/her experiencesD．explain the difficulties of travelling2. To avoid being cheated, you ought to ________ if you want to take a taxi at the Delhi airport.A．pay more to the drivers to keep safeB．show your ticket to the driverC．go to a police­run boothD．go out of the airport3. The author suggests taking a rickshaw in order to ________．A．save some moneyB．enjoy the comfortable tripC．gain a unique experienceD．help the local rickshaw drivers4. What can we infer from the passage?A．You won't have to pay much if you travel around by bus in India.B．It will be difficult for you to get a seat if you get on the bus halfway.C．A rickshaw driver only charges whatever amount you give him.D．You'll have to speak English if you travel around in India.5. Which may be the topic that follows?A．Hotel recommendations in DelhiB．Weather conditions in DelhiC．Food and drink in DelhiD．Car rentals in DelhiBLife is to be enjoyed. There's no point in giving up something you enjoy unless you get something back that's even better. When people eat more healthfully, exercise, quit smoking, and manage stress better, they find that they feel so much better that it reconstructs the reason for making these changes from fear of dying to joy of living. The latest studies show that when you exercise and eat right: YOUR BRAIN receives more blood flow and oxygen, so you become smarter, think more clearly, have more energy, and need less sleep. Two studies showed that just walking for three hours per week for only three months caused so many new neurons (神经细胞) to grow that it actually increased the size of people's brains!YOUR FACE receives more blood flow, so your_skin_glows more and wrinkles less. You look younger and more attractive. In contrast, an unhealthy diet, chronic emotional stress and smoking reduce blood flow to your face so you age more quickly. Smoking accelerates aging because nicotine causes your arteries (动脉) to narrow down, which decreases blood flow to your face and makes it wrinkle earlier. This is why smokers look years older than they really are.YOUR GENES change. In May, a study was published in the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showing that changing your lifestyle changes your genes.YOUR TELOMERES (染色体端粒) get longer. Telomeres are the ends of our chromosomes (染色体) that control how long we live. As telomeres become shorter, then cells age more quickly, thus shortening your life.Besides, one of the most interesting findings in the study was that the mothers' awareness of stress was more important than what was really occurring in their lives. The researchers gave the women a questionnaire and asked them to rate on a three­point scale how stressed they felt each day, and how out of control their lives felt to them. The women who were aware that they were under heavy stress had significantly shortened and damaged telomeres compared with those who felt more relaxed. On the contrary, some of the women who felt relaxed despite raising a disabled child had mo re normal­appearing telomeres.In other words, if you feel stressed, you are stressed; if you feel fine, you are fine.1. Which of the following are good for lengthening one's life, according to the passage?① eat healthy food ② drink plenty of water③ take exercise ④ get up early⑤ go to sleep early ⑥ release one's stressA．①③⑥ B．①②③C．①⑤⑥ D．③④⑥2. The underlined words “your skin glows” in Paragraph 3 are closest in meaning to “________”．A．your skin becomes white as there is plenty of sunshineB．your skin becomes smooth as there is much blood in itC．your skin looks pink as you are healthyD．your skin becomes soft as you exercise enough3. In the author's opinion, when you exercise and eat right, you will experience some changes EXCEPT ________．A．brains becoming clevererB．faces having fewer wrinklesC．arteries turning narrowerD．genes being changed4. From the last but one paragraph we learn that ________．A．mothers will have more damaged telomeres if they raise a disabled child B．mothers don't know how to handle stress effectivelyC．some women were asked to fill out a questionnaire about educating children D．mothers' positive attitudes are the key to managing their stress5. The best title for the passage would be “________”．A．Eat better, live betterB．Feel better, live longerC．Less stress, fewer diseasesD．Smoke more, age soonerCBig Brothers Big Sisters is based on the simplicity and power of friendship.

[人物型阅读理解](限时：25分钟)APatti Page, the top­selling female artist of the 1950s with more than 100 million records sold, died on January 2nd, 2013, when she was 85. She was one of the most beloved singers of the post­war era. Take her Tennessee Waltz for example, it sold more than 10 million copies and was her biggest hit.Born in Claremore, Oklahoma, a small town near Tulsa, Page originally dreamed of a career in commercial art. Her first job in the art department at a local radio station soon led to performing on her own 15­minute programme.At the age of 20, Page was discovered by big­band leader Jack Rael, who quit his job to become her manager. In 1948, she signed her first recording contract with Mercury Records and two years later enjoyed her first hit record. She stayed with Mercury for the next 14 years and recorded hit after hit including: With My Eyes Wide Open, I'm Dreaming, and Old Cape Cod.Her last hit was Hush…Hush, Sweet Charlotte, recorded for the Bette Davis movie of the same name. And then, there was Doggie in the Window. The creative tune was a huge hit, but with its repeated barking sounds and silly lyrics(歌词), the song has been used by many people as an example of all that was wrong with pop music in the early 1950s.Throughout the 1950s, Patti Page made regular appearances on television variety shows and in 1957 she was chosen to host the musical programme, The Big Record. The following year, Page appeared in her own CBS television series, The Patti Page Show. She continued to record and perform into the 21st century, most recently releasing an album of songs for children, a Christmas record, and a new “best of” collection.Besides music, Patti Page did a bit of acting. She co­starred with the Oscar­winning Burt Lancaster in Elmer Gantry, and also starred on stage in the musical play Annie Get Your Gun.1. According to the passage, Patti Page ________．A．wanted to be a singer as a childB．was born in a small town in 1927C．was known mainly for her acting skillsD．started her work as a TV programme hostess2. According to the passage, which one of her following recorded songs was criticized?A．Old Cape Cod.B．Hush…Hush, Sweet Charlotte.C．Doggie in the Window.D．With My Eyes Wide Open, I'm Dreaming.3. Tennessee Waltz is mentioned in the passage in order to show that ________．A．Patti Page was a beloved singerB．Patti Page's songs were successfulC．Patti Page was the top­selling female artistD．Patti Page was good at recording songs4. We can know from the passage that Patti Page ________．A．got to know Jack Rael in 1945B．left Mercury Records at the age of 35C．appeared in The Patti Page Show in 1957D．wrote many songs for children in her late life5. It is inferred from the passage that ________．A．Patti Page gave up singing in public in her late lifeB．Patti Page's gift in art began to be shown in her teensC．Patti Page's great success was due to her hard work and others' helpD．Patti Page was not only a successful singer but also a successful actressBAmerican actor Johnny Depp can best be described as unconventional. From his early life, his path into acting and even in his choice of movie roles, we can see that Depp has seldom taken the easy road. His willingness to take risks and do the unexpected has made Depp one of the few Hollywood actors able to achieve huge commercial success while maintaining his artistic reputation.Born in 1963, Depp was somewhat troublesome as a youth, occasionally turning to petty­crime and drugs. When his parents divorced in 1978, Depp dropped out of school against his mother's wishes and started a music band called the Kids. Although the band achieved some success, they were seldom able to make_ends_meet,_with Depp often unable to pay his rent, sleeping on friends' sofas and even in his car.In 1983, the ever­optimistic Depp and his new wife, Lori Anderson, moved to Hollywood, California to further Depp's musical career. But life there continued to be a struggle and Depp was forced to take a job selling pens door to door to support his new family. His luck changed when Lori's ex­boyfriend, the famous actor Nicholas Cage, impressed by Depp's good looks and intelligence, suggested he become an actor and helped him get a small part in a movie. Several other minor movie roles—and a divorce from Lori—followed, before Depp got his big break three years later. He landed the leading role in the television series 21 Jump Street, playing a youthful undercover police officer. The hugely popular show turned Depp into a teenage heart­throb overnight. He appeared on the cover of countless magazines and was much sought after by movie producers, eager to exploit his popularity with teenage girls.But Depp left 21 Jump Street after three years, when it was at the height of its popularity, later admitting that he hated the show's unoriginal storylines and his “pretty boy” character. In the decade that followed, Depp rejected repeated offers of “pretty boy” roles in big­budget Hollywood films. Instead he established himself as a serious, somewhat dark, peculiar performer, consistently selecting roles in smaller, independent films that surprise critics and audiences alike.Even in the movie that made Depp an international superstar, The Pirates of the Caribbean(2003), he was barely recognizable as Captain Jack Sparrow, the British, long­haired golden­toothed pirate. This and subsequent hit movies have placed Deppat the very top of the commercial film industry (with a pay­check of $20 million for each such movie), but he still continues to make the smaller, stranger films for which he is so greatly admired.1. As a youth, Depp could be described as a ________．A．serious criminalB．trouble makerC．drug addictD．successful musician2. The underlined expression “make ends meet” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”．A．get together after a showB．meet their audienceC．play to the endD．earn enough to live3. In which order did the following events take place in Depp's life?a. met Nicholas Cageb. started a band called the Kidsc. played a British pirated. sold pens door to doore. got married to Lori Andersonf. starred in a TV showA．d, b, e, a, c, fB．b, e, d, a, f, cC．a, b, f, c, d, eD．e, d, a, c, f, b4. Why did Depp leave the TV show 21 Jump Street?A．The show was no longer popular.B．He wanted to perform in movies.C．He thought the show was terrible.D．He rejected planned changes to his role.5. Depp's choice of movie roles throughout most of his career suggests that ________．A．he valued interesting work over moneyB．he believed he couldn't play “pretty boy” roles wellC．he was very popular with Hollywood movie producersD．he was more interested in shocking audiences than entertainingCGreg Woodburn, a student at the University of Southern California, spends a lot of time cleaning sneakers he collected. But soon the shoes will be sent to poor children in the United States and 20 other countries, thanks to Woodburn's Share Our Shoes (S. O. S．) charity.A high school track star in the town of Ventura, California, Woodburn was treated in hospital for months with knee and hip injuries.“I started thinking about the health benefits, the friendship and theconfidence I got from running, ” he says,“And I realized there are children who don't even have shoes. ”Woodburn gathered up his old sneakers, then asked his friends to donate. His goal was to have 100 pairs by Christmas 2006. When he collected more than 500 pairs, he decided to turn the shoe d rive into a year­round endeavour.Back then, the sneakers came from donation boxes at the YMCA and the local sporting goods store and from door­to­door pickups. Woodburn has now set up collection boxes at two high schools, city gym and recreation centre. He has started accepting adult sizes and sandals(凉鞋). So far, S. O. S. has collected and donated more than 3, 000 pairs.Woodburn has cleaned all the shoes. After sorting the shoes by size, Woodburn selects the good shoes for the washing machine and the wor n­out ones for recycling.To ship the footwear, Woodburn teamed with Sports Gift, a non­profit organization that provides soccer and baseball equipment to children around the world. Keven Baxter, founder and president, says, “We'd send kids balls and shoes. I've heard that for many of these kids, these old sneakers are the only shoes they had. They wear them to school and to do sports. So Greg's running shoes were a nice addition for us.”For many recipients(接受者), the shoes represent opportunity. Two young boys in Southern California attended school on alternate days because they shared a pair of shoes. They were too big for one boy and too small for the other. Thanks to S. O. S．， each brother received his own pair of shoes. The boys now attend school daily and enjoy their learning. When they graduate, they say, they will help a stranger, just as Woodburn helped them.1. What caused Greg Woodburn to donate old shoes for poor children?A．The benefits from playing sports.B．News about some poor children.C．His reflection on school life.D．The medical treatment he received.2. When collecting more sneakers than expected, Woodburn decided to________．A．include adult sizes and sandalsB．set up branches in different citiesC．collect shoes throughout the yearD．expand his endeavour in the whole city3. How did Woodburn manage to deliver the shoes collected?A．By sending them by mail.B．By working with Sports Gift.C．By advertising for those in need.D．By offering them from door to door.4. What can we learn from Keven Baxter's remarks?A．Sports Gift is popular around the world.B．Many children need Greg's old sneakers.C．Greg's running shoes are the best gifts for children.D．Children need more soccer and baseball equipment than shoes.5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．An organized activityB．Greg Woodburn's lifeC．How to collect sneakersD．Recycled sneakers fit for sharing专题限时训练(十三) [故事型阅读理解](限时：25分钟)AI 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, our nails. “Now see that it's done pro perly, 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 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 meal. 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 in 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 beating is completely foreign to our nature.1. Th e 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 cleaning2. 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 covered 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 cleaningD．do the cleaning 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 punishmentB．harsh criticismC．complete indifferenceD．good beatingBThe 30 miles of steep roads that snake through the mountains of Logan Canyon in Utah are enough to make most drivers' hands sweat. But Andersen, a 46­year­old father of four, wasn't expecting any trouble on the road last New Year's Eve, when he set off for a ski trip to the Bear River Mountains with nine­year­old daughter Mia, four­year­old son Baylor, and nine­year­old n eighbour Kenya. Andersen had driven through the Canyon hundreds of times over the years.The weather was fine，but the higher they drove, the more slippery the roads became. Rounding a sharp U­turn at mile marker 473, Andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and immediately tapped his brakes. In an instant, the car was sliding at 25 miles per hour towards the shoulder of the highway, then rolling down a steep ten­foot dam towards the extremely cold Logan River. As it hit the water, the car tipped towards the passenger side, hesitated, and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river.There was no time to tell the kids what to do. The crash had broken a few windows, and within seconds, the upside­down car was filled with water. “It was frightening how fast we were completely underwater，” remembers Andersen, a soft­spoken product development manager. “You're thinking, is this how it's all going to end？”Having lost all sense of direction, Andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids. Mia had been right next to him in the front seat; now, in the blackness, he couldn't find her. I thought，“If I don't get out, maybe none of us are going to get out.” Andersen got out of his seat belt, swam through a broken window, and, deeply and quickly, breathed air at the surface. That's when he saw a group of men, about ten in all, appear at the top of the dam. One after another, they raced down into the water. Helping onto safety all the three children, they began to shout atthe father, “Who else is in the car？” Andersen says respec tfully, “It_was_like_the_sight_of_angels_(天使). ”1. What might be the main reason for the car accident?A．The sharp U­turn.B．The steep dam.C．The sudden brake.D．A truck hitting the car.2. Andersen didn't expect any trouble on the road because ________．A．he was familiar with the roadB．he was good at drivingC．his hands didn't have sweatD．the weather was fine3. What can be learned from the last paragraph?A．Andersen lost conciousness in the water.B．Strangers helped Andersen out of the car.C．Andersen liked Mia most among the children.D．Strangers teamed together to save the three children.4. The underlined sentence is to express Andersen's feeling of being________．A．tiredB．excitedC．doubtfulD．grateful5. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A．Stay calm when in troubleB．Drive rounding a U­turnC．Miracle rescue from an icy riverD．Mystery of the Bear River MountainsCDetective Keeling took his client—a good­looking lady into the back yard of the store together. The lady opened a door in the wall and they entered the small room behind the store. They crossed the room to a locked door.Mr Keeling took some special keys from his pocket. Moments later, one of the keys unlocked the door. The lady went into the store. She said she would hide under the table to keep watch on her husband. Mr Keeling did not follow her.The detective went quickly to the policeman's house. Then the two men hurried to the jewellery store. They looked through the window. The policeman was surprised. He spoke to Mr Keeling，“I don't understand. You told me, ‘Robbins took a young woman to a restaurant.’ Where is she？”“There she is！” said Mr Keeling. He pointed through the window.“Do you know the lady with Robbins？” asked the policeman.“That's his secret friend，” said Mr Keeling.“No! You're wrong! That's Robbins' wife，” said the policeman. “I've known her for fifteen years.”“What？” the detective shouted. His face became pale. “Who is under the table in the store？”He started to kick the door of the jewellery store.Mr Robbins came to the door and opened it. The policeman and the detective ran into the store.“Look under that table！” shouted the detective. “Be quick！”The policeman lifted the cloth and put his arm under the table. He pulled out a black dress, a black veil and a woman's wig(假发)．“Is this young lady your wife？” Mr Keeling asked the jeweller. He pointed at the woman.“Yes! She is my wife！” said Mr Robbins angrily. “Why did you kick my door? Why are those clothes under my table？”“Please check all the jewellery in your store, Mr Robbins，” the policeman said. “Is anything missing？”Some diamond rings and some expensive necklaces were missing. The missing jewellery was worth $800.Later that night, Mr Keeling was sitting in his office. He was looking through a big book of photographs. They were photographs of criminals. The policeman had brought the book to the detective's office. Suddenly, Mr Keeling stopped turning the pages. He looked at a picture of a handsome young man with a familiar face.The next morning, Mr Keeling paid the jeweller $800, then closed his office.1. At the beginning, the lady was able to go into the jewellery store because ________．A．she went to the back yard and found the wayB．she was the owner of the store and had the keyC．two men helped her together to enter the storeD．Mr Keeling unlocked the back door to the store2. The young lady who stayed with Mr Robbins in the jewellery store was actually ________．A．Mr Robbins' sisterB．Mr Robbins' secret friendC．Mr Robbins' wifeD．a clever thief3.

But these stations are expensive and sparsely (稀疏地) distributed. Additional sensors could save trees by providing better local climate data to be used in fire prediction models and earlier warnings. However, recharging or replaci ng batteries by hand at very hard­to­reach locations makes it impractical and costly.The new sensor system seeks to avoid this problem by developing trees into a self­sustaining power supply. Each sensor is equipped with a battery that can be slowly r echarged using electricity produced by the tree. “A single tree doesn't generate a lot of power, but over time the trickle (细流) charge adds up, just like ‘________’”， said Shuguang Zhang, one of the researchers on the project and the associate director of the MIT's Centre for Biomedical Engineering (CBE)．The system produces enough electricity to allow the temperature and humidity sensors to wirelessly send out signals four times a day, or immediately if there's a fire. Each signal spreads from one sensor to another, until it reaches an existing weather station that sends the data by satellite to a forestry command centre in Boise, Idaho.Scientists have long known that trees can produce extremely small amounts of electricity. But no one knew exactly how the energy was produced or how to take advantage of the power.1．What are the disadvantages of the remote automated weather stations?A．They cost too much.b．They are of poor quality.c．They are not enough.d．They can't reach remote places.A．a, b B．b, dC．a, c D．b, c2．Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank?A．Far water does not put out near fire.B．All rivers run into the sea.C．Many a little makes a mickle.D．It never rains but it pours.3．What Shuguang Zhang said in Paragraph 4 means that ________．A．a single tree is enough to generate much powerB．the power from the tree can't be storedC．trees can generate enough power for our lifeD．a tree can produce the electricity to meet the needs of a sensor4．What would the author talk about after the last paragraph of the passage?A．The amount of electricity trees produce.B．How trees produce electricity.C．Trees' contribution to society.D．The research process of tree power.5．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Preventing forest fires with tree powerB．Trees can produce electricityC．Tree power in daily lifeD．Developing new energyB(NEW YORK) A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two­year­old girl in Manhattan said he didn't think twice before diving into the freezing East River.Tuesday's Daily News said 29­year­old Julien Duret from France was the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.“I didn't think at all，” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast.I reacted very fast.”Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(码头) when he saw something falling into the water.He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. Immediately, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn't realize his story of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.“I don't really think I'm a hero，” said Duret. “Anyone would do the same thing.”1．Why was Duret in New York?A．To meet his girlfriend.B．To spend his holiday.C．To work as an engineer.D．To visit the Andersons.2．What did Duret do shortly after the ambulance came?A．He was interviewed by a newspaper.B．He went to the hospital in the ambulance.C．He disappeared from the spot quickly.D．He asked his girlfriend for his dry clothes.3．Who dived after Duret into the river to save the little girl?A．David Anderson.B．A passer­by.C．His girlfriend.D．A taxi driver.4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Duret thought twice before he jumped into the cold water.B．Duret dived into the water before the girl's father.C．The rescue happened on the day Duret left for France.D．Duret didn't think he was brave enough to be a hero.5．What is probably the headline of this news report?A．A Careless FatherB．A Poor GirlC．Warm­hearted OnlookersD．Brave Frenchman FoundCScientists have not found any signs of life on Mars yet, but they say a robotic vehicle called “Curiosity” is helping them learn a lot about the planet's history and climate.Curiosity landed on Mars in August 2012 after travelling through space for more than eight months. It was sent to Mars by scientists from NASA in the United States.Curiosity is about the size of a car and has six wheels. It also has a robotic arm, cameras, and instruments that allow it to examine things it finds on the surface. Then it sends the information back to the earth.Curiosity's main task is to find out if anything could live on Mars, either now or in the past. On Nov. 2, NASA scientists held a press conference (新闻发布会) to discuss what Curiosity had found in its first two months on Mars.Curiosity has found soil that is similar to the sand formed by volcanoes (火山) on the earth. Scientists say that studying the minerals in Martian soil will help them understand what conditions were like on the planet in the past. Curiosity also found smooth stones like the ones found on river beds and seashores on the earth, where their rough edges have been worn down by water. Mars is very cold and dry now, but scientists say the smooth stones tell them that a river used to run through the place where they were found.Curiosity has been testing the atmosphere around Mars for a type of gas called methane (甲烷), but so far it has not found any. On the earth, most methane is produced by plants or animals. Methane on Mars might indicate that some type of tiny plants or animals lived there.Curiosity is the fourth robotic vehicle to be sent to Mars. It will continue to explore the planet for about two years.1. Which of the following descriptions about Curiosity is TRUE?A．It landed on Mars in January 2012.B．It is small in size and has four arms.C．It took over eight months to arrive in Mars.D．It was sent to Mars by scientists from Russia.2. According to the information sent back by Curiosity, scientists believe that________．A．there's no air on MarsB．Mars is warm and wet nowC．the soil on Mars is richD．there used to be water on Mars3. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refers to“________”．A．smooth stonesB．riversC．robotic vehiclesD．volcanoes4. We know from the sixth paragraph that________．A．some tiny animals once lived on MarsB．there are no plants or animals on Mars nowC．the atmosphere around Mars is full of methaneD．Curiosity is designed to test the atmosphere around the earth5. What is the main idea of the passage?A．Humans benefit a lot by going to Mars.B．Scientists will stop the research on Mars soon.C．It is possible to build an earth­like environment on Mars.D．A robotic vehicle helps scientists get useful information from Mars.。

专题限时训练(十六)[文化教育型阅读理解(一)](限时：25分钟)AA Practical English Grammar is intended for intermediate(中级的) and post-intermediate students. We hope that more advanced learners and teachers will also find it useful.The book is a comprehensive survey of structures and forms, written in clear modern English and illustrated with numerous examples. Areas of particular difficulty have been given special attention. Differences between conversational usage and strict grammatical forms are shown but the emphasis is on controversial forms.In the fourth edition, the main changes are as follows.1．Explanation and examples have been brought up to date.2．There is now more information on countable and uncountable nouns, attributive and predicative adjectives, adverbs of place, sentence adverbs, cleft sentences, prepositions, conjunctives, modal verbs, perfect tenses, infinitive constructions, the passive, purpose clauses.3．Some material has been rearranged to make comparisons easier. For example, parts of chapters on can, may, must，etc. are now grouped by functions; verbs of liking and preference have a chapter to themselves; suggestions and invitations have joined the chapter on commands, requests and advice.4．The content list now summaries every edition heading, and there is a new index containing many more entries references.In this edition, the sign “～” is frequently used to show a change of speaker in examples of dialogues. Note also says that although the sign “＝”sometimes connects two words or expressions with the same meaning, it is often used more freely, e．g. to indicate a transformation from active to passive or direct to indirect speech.We wish to thank all at Oxford University Press who have assisted in the preparation of the fourth edition. We would also like to thank Professor Egawa of Nihon University, Japan, Professor Rene Dirven of Duisburg University, West Germany and other colleagues for their friendly and helpful suggestions.1. The grammar book mentioned in this passage is not suitable for ________．A．a middle school teacherB．a primary school studentC．a senior high studentD．a college student2. According to the passage, we know that this grammar book________．A．compares modern English with old EnglishB．gives a large number of examples to reduce difficultyC．attaches more importance to conversational formsD．pays little attention to strict grammatical forms3. Which of the following statements about the changes is TRUE?A．This book keeps up with the latest usages of the American English language.B．This edition offers more information about pronouns.C．It's not easy for us to find the information we need in this book.D．One particular chapter discusses verbs like “care, like, love, hate, prefer, wish”．4. When you see this line in the book, “Did you get a ticket? ～Yes, I managed to get one”，we can understand that ________．A．the two parts before and after the sign “～” mean the sameB．the two parts before and after “～” are said by two different peopleC．the second speaker repeats what the first speaker saysD．the topic is changed in the part after the sign “～”5. In the last paragraph, the authors thank several people because________．A．they have helped the authors with this editionB．they have agreed to buy a lot of books from the authorsC．the authors want to make use of the fame of those peopleD．those people will make advertisements for this bookBA fellow speaker from California named Geri flew to Japan, in her favourite jeans and a casual jacket, to give her first speech. Fourteen hours later, four perfectly dressed Japanese gentlemen greeted her at Narita Airport. Smiling and bowing low, they handed her their business cards. With her bag in one hand, Geri took their cards with the other. She thanked them, glanced briefly at the cards, and put them into her jeans pocket quickly.When the five of them arrived at the hotel, they invited Geri to tea in the lobby (大厅). While sipping tea, the gentlemen presented her with a small gift which she eagerly opened. She was thrilled with the gift and shouted excitedly, “Oh, it's beautiful！”At this point, the four Japanese gentlemen stood up and, bowing only very slightly, said “Sayonara” and left immediately. Poor Geri was left astonished. What did she do wrong?Everything! Her jeans were the first gaffe. Even if you're coming off a bicycle in Japan, you do not meet clients (客人) casually dressed. The second mistake was Geri's handling of their business cards rudely. In Japan, the business card is one of the most important communicative tools. It is always presented and accepted respectfully with both hands. However, Geri put their cards away much too quickly. In Japan, people use business cards as a conversation starter. You chat about each other's cards and work and do not put theirs away until they gently and respectfully place yours in safe keeping. Putting it carelessly into her jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect.Then, the fourth horror of horrors was that Geri should not have opened the gift in front of her clients. In a land where saving face is critical, it would be embarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice as the one they received. What is worse, Geri hadn't even given them a gift!1. In the four Japanese gentlemen's eyes, Geri took their cards ________．A．excitedlyB．embarrassinglyC．politelyD．disrespectfully2. Why did the four Japanese gentlemen leave Geri suddenly?A．Because they couldn't bear Geri's behaviour any longer.B．Because they had finished the task.C．Because Geri had something more important to do.D．Because Geri felt embarrassed.3. What does the underlined word “gaffe”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Ignorance.B．Sadness.C．Mistake.D．Carelessness.4. The third mistake Geri made was that she ________．A．used her own card as a conversation starterB．took her clients' cards with one handC．kept her clients' cards in a wrong placeD．met her clients in jeans5. What lesson can we draw from this story?A．Honesty is the best policy.B．Think twice before you take any action.C．When in Rome, do as the Romans do.D．Don't claim to know what you don't know.CSome American parents might think their children need better education to compete with China and other countries. But how much do the parents themselves need to change?A new book called Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua has caused a debate about cultural differences in parenting. Ms Chua is a professor at the Yale Law School in New Haven, Connecticut, and the mother of two daughters. She was raised in the American Mid-west by immigrant Chinese parents.In the Chinese culture, the tiger represents strength and power. In her book, Ms Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters. For example, she threatened to burn her daughter's stuffed animals unless they played a piece of music perfectly. She would insult her daughters if they failed to meet her expectations.Ms Chua told NBC television that she had a clear list of what her daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were not permitted to do, such as attending a sleepover, having a play date, watching TV or playing computer games and getting any grade less than an A.Many people have criticized Amy Chua. Some say her parenting methods were abusive(辱骂的). She even admits that her husband, who is not Chinese, sometimes objected to her parenting style. But she says that was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters.Ms Chua makes fun of her own extreme style of parenting. She says she eased some of the pressure after her younger daughter rebelled and shouted, “I hate my life! I hate you！”Ms Chua says she decided to retreat when it seemed like there was a risk that she might lose her daughter. But she also says American parents often have low expectations of their children's abilities.“One of the biggest differences I see between Western and Chinese parenting is that Chinese parents assume strength rather than fragility(脆弱)．”Stacey DeBroff has written four books on parent ing. “I think that the stirring of intense debate has to do with what it means to be a successful parent and what it means to be a successful child.”Ms DeBroff says Amy Chua's parenting style is not limited to Chinese families. She says itrepresents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children.But she also sees a risk. When children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests, they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life. Stacey DeBroff advises parents to develop their own style of parenting and not just repeat the way they were raised.1. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about American parents?A．Some of them expect their children to be competitive.B．Some of them need to educate themselves better.C．They should learn from Chinese parents.D．They care their kids more than Chinese parents.2. What can we learn about Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother?A．It is a list of things for children to do.B．It is a book about cultural differences.C．It is a heated debate about parenting.D．It is a book about how to raise children.3. Based on the passage, Ms Chua's parenting is exposed to the following EXCEPT________．A．pressure B．managementC．recreation D．compromise4. What does the underlined word “retreat”in Paragraph 7 mean?A．Give in. B．Pass away.C．Cry out. D．Go ahead.5. According to Ms DeBroff, ________．A．Amy Chua's parenting style should be banned(禁止) in ChinaB．Amy Chua should stop to adopt American parenting stylesC．Amy Chua's parenting style should be adjusted if possibleD．There isn't any advantages in Amy Chua's parenting style专题限时训练(十六)A【要点综述】本文主要介绍了《实用英语语法》的特点及对它的第四版与之前版本主要不同的地方进行了介绍。
