2014届高考英语第二轮(阅读理解)珍品训练(09)及答案
2013高考英语二轮（阅读理解）珍品训练（09）及答案（******）We find that bright children are not often held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are improved. We feel that there are many dis advantages in streaming pupils, a way to teach pupils in groupsaccording to their ability. It does not pay attention to the fact that children develop at different speed. It can have a bad effect on bloth the bright and not-so-bright children. After all it can be quite discouraging to be at the hottom of the top grade !Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual (智力的) ability. This is only one aspect (方面) of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic (学术理论的) ability. We also value personal qua[ides (品质)and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching helps improve all these aspects of learning.In our classroom, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups, this gives them the chances to learn to cc-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They al- sci learn how to deal with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate (分析和评价), and to comunicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual (个人的) tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is right and suitable. We encourage our pu- pils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively. An advanced pupil can do advanced work; 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.1. What's the author's attitude towards "mixed-ability teaching"?A. He agrees to it.B. He doubts the truth of it.C. He is very discontent about it.D. He tries to be objective at)out it.答案：A 指导：由第一段第二句“On the contrary，both their knowledSe and experience are improved”可知作者赞同mixed-abilityteaching．2. By "held back", the author meansA. forced to study in the lower classB. made to remain in the same classC. prevented from advancingD. made to fall behind other students答案：C 指导：由第一段第二句中的improved可知。

2014高考英语阅读理解二轮精英训练精品题(23)及答案【2014高考英语吉林省实验中学一模试题】“A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right" says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh，Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people。
She firmly believes that there is and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is。
In Mollie's opinion it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story，which is what every writer should be doing. “If you aren’t telling a story，you’re a very dead writer indeed." She says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain，Mollie is indeed an entertainer。
“I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,” she says。
“This love goes back to early childhood。
高中英语真题-2014高考英语二轮短文阅读类训练(5)及答案或解析
高中英语真题:2014高考英语二轮短文阅读类训练（5）及答案或解析Tides(潮汐)are created mainly by the pull of the moon on the earth. The moon's pull causes water in the oceans to be a little deeper at a point closet to the moon and also at a point farthest from the m oon on the opposite side of the earth. These two tidal"Waves"fo llow the apparent(明显的) movement of the moon around the earth and strike nearly e very coast line at in- tervals of about twelve hours and twenty-five minutes. After reaching a high point, the water level goes d own gradually for a little more than six hours and then begins to rise toward a new high point. Hence, most coast lines have two tides a day, and the tides occur fifty minutes later each day. Dif ferences in the coast line and in channels in the ocean bottom may change the times that the tidal wave reaches different poin ts along the same coast line. Tne difference in water level betw een high and low tide varies from day to day according to the re lative positions of the sun and the moon because the sun also e xerts a pull on the earth, although it is only about half as strongas the pull of the moon. When the sun and the moon are pulling along the same line, the tides rise higher, and when they pull at fight angles to one another, the tide is lower. The formation of t he coast line and variations(变化)in the weather are additional factors which can affect the hei ght of tides. Some sections of the coast are shaped in such a w ay as to cause much higher tides than are experienced in other areas. A strong wind blowing toward the shore may also cause tides to be higher.1. The height of the tide is affected by all of the following except _________.A. the position of the sunB. the direction of the windC. variations in the coast lineD. channels in the sea bottom答案：D 指导：潮汐的高度受太阳、风向和海岸线差异的影响，海沟只影响潮汐的时间。
2014届高三英语二轮专题强化训练 任务型阅读(真题模拟)
2014届高三二轮专题强化训练：任务型阅读（真题+模拟）(一)(2013·江苏)Quiet Virtue: The ConscientiousThe everyday signs of conscientiousness (认真尽责)—being punctual, careful in doing work, selfdisciplined, and scrupulous (一丝不苟的) in attending to responsibilities—are typical characteristics of the model organizational citizen, the people who keep things running as they should. They follow the rules, help out, and are concerned about the people they work with. It's the conscientious worker who helps newcomers or updates people who return after an absence, who gets to work on time and never abuses stick leaves, who always gets things done on deadline.Conscientiousness is a key to success in any field. In studies of job performance, outstanding effectiveness for almost all jobs，from sem iskilled labor to sales and management, depends on conscientiousness. It is particularly important for outstanding performance in jobs at the lower levels of an organization: the secretary whose message taking is perfect, the delivery truck driver who is always on time.Among sales representatives for a large American car manufacture, those who were most conscientious had the largest volume of sales. Conscientiousness also offers a buffer (缓冲) against the threat of job loss in today's constan tly changing market, because employees with this quality are among the most valued. For the sales representatives, their level of conscientiousness mattered almost as much as their sales in determining who stayed on.There is an air around highly conscientious people that makes them seem even better than they actually are. Their reputation for dependability influences managers' evaluations of their work, giving them higher evaluations than objective measures of their performance would predict.But conscientiousness in the absence of social skills can lead to problems. Since conscientious people demand so much of themselves, they can hold other people to their own standards, and so be overly judgmental when others don't show the same high levels of model behavior. Factory workers in Great Britain and the United States who were extremely conscientious, for example, tended to criticize coworkers even about failures that seemed unimportant to those they criticized, which damaged their relationships.When conscientiousness takes the form of living up to expectations, it candiscourage creativity. In creative professions like art or advertising, openness to wild ideas and spontaneity (自发性) are scarce and in demand. Success in such occupations calls for a balance, however, without enough conscientiousness to follow through, people become mere dreamers, with nothing to show for their imaginativeness.答案：1．strict2．helpful/good3．Functions/Roles/Importance/Significance4．running/working/going/operating/functioning5．performance(s)6．fired/dismissed/jobless7．problems/troubles8．higher/subjective/unfair/prejudiced9．tense/damaged/poor/bad10．discourage/affect/damage(二)(2012·安徽)Traveling to all corners of the world gets easier and easier. We live in a global village，but this doesn't mean that we all behave in the same way.How should you behave when you meet someone for the first time? An American shakes your hand firmly while looking you straight in the eye. In many parts of Asia, there is no physical contact (接触)at all. In Japan, you should bow, and the more respect you want to show, the deeper you should bow. In Thailand, people greet each other by pressing both hands together at the chest. In both countries, eye contact is avoided as a sign of respect.Many countries have rules about what you should and shouldn't wear. In Muslim countries, you shouldn't reveal (显露)the body, especially women, who should wear long blouses and skirts.In Korea, you should take off your shoes when entering a house. Remember to place them neatly together where you came in.In Spain, lunch is often the biggest meal of the day, and can last two or three hours. For this reason many people eat a light breakfast and a late dinner. In Mexico, lunch is the time to relax，and many people prefer not to discuss business as they eat. In Britain, it's not unusual to have a business meeting over breakfast.In most countries, an exchange of business cards is necessary for all introductions. You should include your company name and your position. If you are going to a country where your language is not widely spoken, you can get the back side of your card printed in the local language. In China，you may present your card with the writing facing the person you are giving it to.答案：1. behavior2. Greeting3. Bowing4. Muslim/Moslem5. door/entrance6. lunch7.

The latest sev enpart documentary (纪录片) offers insights into the geographical, historical and cultural aspects of what Chinese eat.Made by Chen Xiaoqing, an awardwinning documentary maker, China at Your Tongue Tips is filled with varieties of food, which tells us the beautiful process of foodmaking. The program is sure to attract both food experts and ordinary audiences.Television is filled with food programs these days, especially introductions of top chefs and close looks at the complicated and refined (精制的) cooking processes of a feast (盛宴), but how to create dishes is only one aspect of food culture, according to Chen.“The program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements related to dishes, like eating habits of eating.”The surprise is that the show is not only about dishes. Every part focuses on different people, who tell stories about their adventures with food.“As a saying goes, ‘You are what you eat.’” Chen says. “Food is always connected with people. Behind the documentary, they are stories that reflect people's living situations and attitudes. That's another section which makes it special.”To get enough good stories, the production team spent three months doing researches and interviews in about 60 cities before they started shooting in last July. Filming lasted about nine months.China at Your Tongue Tips shows social changes while presenting food culture, such as showing the elderly are in their hometowns while other members of this family work outside. In those cases, food serves as reminders of happy times and centerpieces of reunions.Title: A Hit about Chinese Food1.______ ●The program consists of seven parts.●It shows Chinese food in terms of history, culture as wellas 2.________Characteristics of China at YourTongue Tips ●Experts and ordinary people are 3.______ by the program4.______ of delicious food.●5.________ elements are presented to bring something new.●Every part draws our 6.________ to persons who tell stories about their adventure with food.●Stories can 7.________ people's living situations and attitudes.Background and significance of theprogram ●It took the production team 3 months to go to about 60 cities to do 8.________ and interviews before shooting.●9.________ lasted more than nine months.●The pro gram shows social 10.________.1．Introduction(s) 2.geography 3.attracted 4.full 5.Cultural 6.attention 7.reflect 8.research 9.Filming10．changes(四)(2013·合肥市第三次质检)Relationships make or break us. From the quality of our family time to our interactions at work, our relationships are largely responsible for our career success or failure. Here are some guidelines.People who focus on themselves when interacting with others rarely build positive lasting relationships. Instead，they should become good listeners and encourage others to talk about themselves.All the skills and education in the world will never impress anyone as much as sincere, heartfelt care for them. Plus, few things have a more positive effect on others than finding out and remembering things about them. Knowing a lot about people is a real display of your care for them，and it creates a lasting bond.Give your relationship something positive when you meet，such as ideas，opportunities，and resources. Besides giving, be willing to receive from the other person. In fact, one of the best ways to start a relationship is to ask for advice or a favor. Everyone loves to show his expert knowledge and authority on a subject, because it makes him feel honored and respected.Tr y to use conflict as a tool，not a weapon. The presence of conflict in arelationship is natural and healthy. Damage only occurs when we react inappropriately to it. To learn more about the other person and find a solution that serves both of you, relationships could become stronger and deeper.Relationships break up quickly when others can't count on you, so say what you mean and stick to your word. Few things damage a friendship more severely than breaking a trust.If people know more about the value of good relationships, they can achieve both personal satisfaction and professional success. If you aren't naturally gifted in this area, don't worry. You can learn to improve them in your life and career.Title：Develop positive interpersonal 1.______ skills Tips ContentBe a good listener ■Taking the 2.______ off yourself■Encouraging others to talk about themselvesCare for others ■Caring about others to 3.______ them greatly■4.______ your care by knowing a lot about othersGive and receive ■Bringing something 5.______ while meeting ■6.______ to others to make them feel neededUse conflict ■Handling conflict in an 7.______ manner■Finding best solutions to help 8.______ relationshipsBe 9.______ ■Saying what you mean and keeping your wordConclusion：Good relationships benefit people both personally and 10.______.1．relationship2．focus/concentration/center3．impress4．Displaying/Showing5．positive6．Turning/Referring7．appropriate8．strengthen/improve/enhance9．reliable/honest10．professionally(五)(2013·马鞍山市第三次质检)Ask any group of teenagers in the UK what they most like to eat, and foods like pizzas, hamburgers and chips are sure to get a mention. But what teenagers like to eat is not necessarily what they should be eating. According to the National Diet and Nutrition Survey, far too many young people in the UK between the ages of 4 and18 consume too much fat, sugar and salt in their diet. Meanwhile, their intake offibre, iron and calcium (钙) is too low.For a growing body, eating foods containing plenty of calcium, such as milk, yogurt and cheese, is important as calcium is completely necessary for the development of healthy, strong bones. Similarly, foods that are rich in iron are good for young, rapidly developing bodies, so red meat, bread, green vegetables, and dried fruit are also recommended.It is during our teenage years that lifestyle habits can be formed, so it is vital that young people are educated about what foods are good for them. In 2005, and in an attempt to change eating habits and open teenagers' minds to new tastes, the famous chef, Jamie Oliver started a “Feed Me Better” campaign. He worked with teachers and cooks in a number of schools across the UK to provide more healthy, nutritious school meal choices. Although some teenagers and parents resisted it, the campaign was in general believed as a huge success and helped to influence governmental policy on nutritional standards for school meals.No one expects to end the teenage love affair with fast and junk food but, hopefully, if projects like “Feed Me Better” continue to give out the right messages, more young people will understand the importance of balancing several treats with healthier food choices.Title: A Little of What You Fancy1.______ Teenagers'2.______ has too much fat, sugar, salt and calories.They don't 3.______ in enough fibre, iron and calcium.Recommendation Teenagers eat foods which 4.______ plenty of calcium.

This action will often produce results. However, if not, there are various means to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” the consumer takes their complaint, the faster they can expect a settlement. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favor, assuming they have a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the store, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate the problem with the item. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work.”The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the producer. If so, the consumer should state the complaint as politely and firmly as possible.If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. They can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to an organization responsible for protecting consumers' rights.答案：1．satisfied 2.helpful/useful 3.seriously 4.faster/sooner 5.phone/telephone 6.effectively7.demonstrating/showing/explaining8.Take9.threatening 10.charge(七)(2013·安徽名校联盟最后一卷)Family structure had changed dramatically over the last 50 years. The following are the types of families existing today.Nuclear FamilyThe nuclear family is a traditional type of family structure. This family type consists of mother, father and children. The nuclear family was long held in esteem by society as being the ideal in which to raise children because children in nuclear families receive strength and stability from the twoparent structure.Single Parent FamilyThe single parent family consists of one parent raising one or more children on his own. When only one parent is at home, it may be a struggle to find childcare, as there is only one parent working. This limits income and opportunities in many cases, although many single parent families have help from relatives and friends.Extended FamilyThe extended family structure consists of two or more adults who are related, either by blood or marriage, living in the same home. This family includes many relatives living together and working toward common goals. This type of family structure may be formed due to financial difficulties or because older relatives are unable to care for themselves alone.Childless FamilyWhile most people think of family as including children, there are couples who either cannot or choose not to have children. Many childless families take on the responsibility of pet ownership or have extensive contact with their nieces and nephews as a substitute for having their own children.StepfamilyOver half of all marriages end in divorce, and many of these individuals choose to get remarried. This creates the stepfamily, which involves two separate families merging into one new unit. Stepfamilies tend to have more problems, such as adjustment periods and discipline issues.There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to what is the best type of familystructure. As long as a family is filled with love and support for one another, it tends to be successful and thrive.Title Today's family typesIntroduction Family structure is quite 1.______ from what it was fifty years ago.Nuclear Family ◆The nuclear family is a 2.______ family structure which consists of mother, father and children.◆It is seen as an ideal type of family structure because of its being good for 3.______ children.Single Parent Family ◆A single parent family is 4.______ up of one or more children and a parent.◆The income and opportunities of single parent family are5.______.Extended Family ◆The extended family is one in which two or three related adults live in the same home by blood or 6.______.◆Lacking in money or attending to the older members account for the formation of extended family.ChildlessFamilyChildren are not born in childless family.Stepfamily ◆Stepfamily is 7.______ when two divorced individuals choose to get married.◆It has a 8.______ of having more problems.9.______ Love and support can always 10.______ to a successful and thriving family regardless of family structure.1．different 2.traditional 3.raising 4.made 5.limited6．marriage 7.created/formed 8.tendency 9.Conclusion 10.contribute/lead(八)(2013·皖南八校第三次联考)Do you love traveling? If the answer is yes, then have you ever thought about why? You may maintain that traveling can help you expand your scope of knowledge, especially geographical and historical learning. It will provide more chances for you to enjoy food and try on clothes that you otherwise cannot possibly have. A famous English author Francis Bacon (1561－1626) makes a point when he says that, “Travel,in the younger sort, i s a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.”Evidence of leisure travel can be traced (追溯) as far back as ancient Babylon. This year, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council, the 1 billionth tourist will cross an international boundary before the end of this month. That means that one in seven people on the planet traveled this year, something that would not have been possible a few decades ago. Around 20 years ago only the rich could travel.While the US and France remain the two largest destinations for world travel, experts say much of the explosive growth in tourism has been to countries like Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and the Ivory Coast, which weren't even on the world tourism map a decade ago. The top five destinations in the world, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, are Paris, London, New York, the Mediterranean, Turkey.Several factors have led to the boom in world travel. The prosperity (富裕) of people in Asia is one factor. People in Asian developing countries have lifted their incomes above middleclass levels in the past few years. And a lot of them have used their new wealth to travel. In addition, travel costs have been reduced thanks to the rapid development of transportation, and competition between airlines to give customers the best prices.Top ic TravellingAdvantages ·Enrich knowledge, especially in 1.______ and history.·Taste different 2.______ and buy different clothes.·Francis Bacon thinks that travel is a part of education and a part of experience.Development ·3.______ from ancient Babylon, travel only really took off after World War Ⅱ.·Only the wealthy people could go on a trip about two 4.______ ago.·The number of people travelling abroad will 5.______ as many as 1 billion before the end of this month.Tourist 6．______ ·The US and France remain the two most popular countries for world travel.·Tourism has developed 7.______ in countries like Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and the Ivory Coast.·The top five destinations in the world are Paris, London, NewYork, the Mediterranean and Turkey.Factors8．______ in the popularity of global tourism ·Asian people have got 9.______ than before.·People have 10.______ less money on travel because of convenient transportation and price competition between airlines.1．geography 2.food(s) 3.Dating 4.decades 5.reach6．destinations 7.explosively/quickly/rapidly/fast 8.resulting9．richer/wealthier 10.spent(九)(2013·皖北协作区联考)In 2000, the world's first mobile phones with cameras were put on the market in Japan. Two years later, these phones were released in Australia, Europe and the United States. A market research shows that there has been a sharp rise in worldwide sales from 80 million mobile camera phones in 2003 to 1.14 billion by 2013.Camera phones have not only been used for entertainment. In Sweden, a grocer snapped a shot of a robber and downloaded the photograph to his computer, which allowed the police to catch the suspect. In Italy, the same thing was done when a shop o w ner snapped pictures of two robbers. In Wales, doctors send photos of Xrays to consult a more experienced specialist about medical treatment for their patients. In Japan, the police have set up a website for citizens to send pictures of suspicious activities.Now, newspaper reporters can use camera phones to take pictures of important events. They can then send the pictures to their newspaper office. As the quality of camera phone pictures increases, we can expect to see camera phones used more and normal cameras used less. More people are using their camera phones to take pictures of their trips, or just small unexpected things that happen in their daily lives. They can then send these pictures to friends anywhere.However, camera phones have also been used to commit crimes. To prevent spying, these phones are not allowed in government buildings in the United Kingdom. Some car companies don't allow their employees to use their phones because they want to prevent some employees watching new car models and sensitive information secretly. In Italy, to prevent dishonest voting, people are not allowed to use mobile phones while they vote. It appears that although there are many advantages to the newtechnology, we still have to be careful.Title: Camera PhonesIntroduction The sales of camera phones have 1.______ sharply since they came onto the market.Advantages of camera phones ·People can use camera phones for 2.______.·The pictures taken with camera phones led to robbers being 3.______Doctors can get som e advice by sending photos of Xray to 4.______.·Newspaper reporters use camera phones to take pictures of events that are of 5.______·Camera phones are used to take pictures of unexpected things 6.______ in people's daily lives.7.______ of camera phones ·Some people use camera phones to do some 8.______ things.·In the UK, camera phones are sometimes used to 9.______ on sensitive information.·In Italy, some people use camera phones to vote 10.______.答案：1．risen 2.entertainment 3.caught 4.specialists 5.importance 6.happening 7.Disadvantages 8.illegal 9.spy10．dishonestly(十)(2013·合肥市二模)Tomatoes are generally easy to grow. Experts suggest you start seeds indoors if the ground is still cold. For best results with the l east risk, they say, plant wh en the soil is warm, soon after the frostfree date for your area.Small plants may be placed a third of a meter apart in rows. If you grow staked plants, set the sticks in the ground about half a meter apart. Some larger varieties of tomatoes may need about a meter between plants and a t least a meter and a half between rows. The idea is to leave enough space for harvesting.Work the soil to remove weeds(杂草). But do not work the soil too deeply or youcould damage the tomato plants. Water the plants regularly during long dry periods. Give them plenty of water. Plants in containers may need water daily or even more than once a day. Besides, do give the tomato plants complete organic fertilizers(肥料)．Some gardeners train tomato plants to grow on supporting materials. Whatever you choose, make sure the supports are tall enough. Most modern tomato plants grow about a meter tall. Others reach almost two meters.Tomatoes started from seed take fortyfive to ninety days till harvest. The average air temperature should be about 24℃. In that case, you can pick the tomatoes when they are firm and fully colored. But if the weather is very hot, pick the tomatoes every day or two. Let them soften and develop their full color indoors.There was a time when people thought tomatoes were poisonous. In fact, they are just the opposite. Tomatoes are good for you. But are they a fruit or a vegetable? Technically, a tomato is a fruit—the fruit of the tomato plant. But some fruits, including tomatoes, may be called “vegetables” because they are used in tasty foods instead of sweet cooking.Title：1.______ TomatoesSowing and transplanting ■Start seeds indoors when it is still cold outside. ■Plant them soon after the 2.______ date ends.■Set proper 3.______ for the plants.4.______ the field ■Weed without5.______ the plants.■Water the plants regularly, especially in dry periods.■6.______ the tomato plants.■Choose proper 7.______ to train the plants to grow tall.Harvesting the fruits ■Pick the ripe fruits when the tempe rature is about 24℃.■Get in the fruits 8.______ to ripen indoors if it's too hot.Interpreting tomatoes ■People used to consider tomatoes as a 9.______ but actually they aren't.■A tomato can be called either a fruit or a 10.______.1．Grow/Growing 2.frost 3.distance/space 4.Managing 5.damaging6.Feed/Fertilize/Fertilise7.supports8.earlier9．poison 10.vegetable(十一)(2013·蚌埠市一模)Trash removal(清除垃圾)is something every person needs to think about for their residence(住宅) because organizing a cleanup event can make the community more beautiful and be good for the environment.

Parks are a good example of an area that might need a good cleanup. Lakes, beaches and areas that are found along roads that are traveled frequently could get some help in the trash removal event. Just make sure you make plans to clean up an area that will not be dangerous to everyone involved.It is strongly recommended that you ask for permission from the county, city or town before you start making serious plans to round up the garbage in an organized event. Doing so makes you responsible citizen of the community.Once you receive permission to hold a trash removal event you can then move forward with your plans. Organize a committee to make the public know about the outdoor cleanup and then ask for volunteers. For example, you can give out fliers(传单)or put them up in right areas of your community where the fliers are visible.。
2014高考英语二轮阅读理解基础训练精品题(11)
2014高考英语二轮阅读理解基础训练精品题（11）及答案阅读理解------（A）In the kitchen of my mother’s houses there has always been a wooden stand（木架）with a small notepad（记事本）and a hole for a pencil.I’m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can’t be the same pencil? The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.“I’m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years.” I say to he r, walking bank into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. “You still use a pencil. Can’t you afford a pen?”My mother replies a little sharply. “It works perfectly well. I’ve a lways kept the st and in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in these days.”Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, “One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”This story—which happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible（看不到的）exhi bits at every meal.( ) 1. Why has the author’s mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?A. To leave messages.B. To list her everyday tasks.C. To note down maths problems.D. To write down a flash of inspiration.( ) 2. What is the author’s original opinion about the wooden stand?A. It has great value for the family.B. It needs to be replaced by a better one.C. It brings her back to her lonely childhood.D .It should be passed on to the next generation.( ) 3. The author feels embarrassed for _________A. blaming her mother wrongly.B. giving her mother a lot of trouble.C. not making good use of time as her mother did.D. not making any breakthrough in her field.( ) 4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A .The mother is successful in her career.B. The family members like traveling.C. The author had little time to play when young.D. The marks on the breadboard have disappear ed.( ) 5. In the author’s mind ,her mother is____A. strange in behavior.B. keen on her research.C. fond of collecting old things.D. careless about her appearance.本篇文章为记叙文。

2014届高考英语二轮复习阅读理解强化训练70
2014届高考英语二轮复习阅读理解强化训练70i.、阅读理解（本大题共4小题，共0分）A1.C（2013湖北卷）We’ve reached a strange—some would say unusual—point. While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO), more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. It’s the good life that’s more likely to kill us these days.Worse, nearly l8 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. What’s going on?We really don’t have many excuses for our weight problems. The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public-health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through—up to a point.In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. Not any more. A public-health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades.Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. That has become a sort of fashion. No wonder it ranks as the world’s most body-conscious country.We know what we should be doing to lose weight—but actually doing it is another matter. By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. More than half of us admit we lack willpower.Others blame good food. They say: it’s just too inviting and it makes them overeat. Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American-style fast food.Some also blame their parents—their genes. But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they’re normal in shape, or rather slim.It’s a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight. Parents are eager to see their kids shape up. Do asI say—not as I do.59. What is the “strange” point mentioned in the first sentence?A. The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.B. Starvation is taking more people’s lives in the world.C. WHO report shows people’s unawareness of food safety.D. Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO’s efforts.60. Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?A. A lot of effective diet pills are available.B. Body image has nothing to do with good food.C. They have been made fully aware of its dangers.D. There are too many overweight people in the world.61. The example of Finland is used to illustrate ______.A. the cause of heart diseaseB. the fashion of body shapingC. the effectiveness of a campaignD. the history of a body-conscious country62. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Actions or Excuses?B. Overweight or Underweight?C. WHO in a DilemmaD. No Longer Dying of Hunger【答案解析】C篇【文章大意】肥胖现在成了一个社会问题，给人们带来很多严重危害。

北京市高考英语二轮复习专题精讲 第12讲 阅读理解(新题)赏析之新题型1
第12讲阅读理解2013新题赏析之新题型题一：[1] Do you spend over an hour each day texting messages to your friends? Do youfrequently ignore work, study, and other activities to check your phone for messages?Are you anxious and restless if you are separated from your mobile phone? Do youhardly ever use your phone to talk any more, and do your thumbs hurt from textingtoo much?[2]If ______________________, then it is very possible that you are atextaholic. A textaholic can be defined as someone who is addicted to sending andreceiving messages. The main symptoms are a strong desire to text messages, whichtakes precedence (优先)over everything else, and bad moods, low spirits and a lackof selfconfidence if messages fail to come in. The root of the problem, as withmany addictions, is the desire to escape from emotional difficulties such as stress,anxiety and relationship problems. Experts warn that text addiction is likely tobecome the most common form of addiction in the future, especially among the young.[3] So what can you do if you think you may be a textaholic? The key is to getyour life back in balance. Make sure you resist the urge to answer every messageyou receive, and consider leaving your mobile phone behind occasionally when yougo out. Most importantly, make a point of spending quality time with friends andfamily, and make time to relearn the art of facetoface conversation instead ofconducting your relationships by means of text messages. Not only will you save timeand money, but you may also rediscover the pleasure of true communication.1. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? (no more than 5 words)______________________________________________________________________2. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words. (no more than 8 words)______________________________________________________________________3. What emotional difficulties may be the causes of text addiction? (no more than5 words)①__________________②__________________③__________________4. What do experts say about text addiction? (no more than 14 words)_____________________________________________________________________5. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? (no more than 8 words)_____________________________________________________________________题二：(1)It is now possible to watch live sport on television on any day of the week,and the current amount of reporting will undoubtedly increase further in years tocome. This is certainly having an influence on the live sports events themselves,and there are both benefits and shortcomings to this.(2)Why has there been such growth in televised sport? For one thing, with digitalbroadcasting, there are now many more TV channels than there were even then yearsago. Moreover, sport has become an important from of entertainment, appealing toboth men and women.(3)What are the benefits of this state of affairs? One obvious advantage to the profession is the addition of money provided by television companies. Large football clubs benefit financially from TV income and the top players can command very large salaries. Less popular sports also receive money that can be used in training and awarenessraising. What’s more, there is a health benefit to some of the population, because through televised sport, more people have become interested in actually playing sport.(4)However, ________ if so much sport is on television. Considering football again, many small clubs have suffered financial losses recently, as they cannot compete with the large ones. There has been a general falling in ticket sales, especially among smaller clubs. Fewer people attend live matches nowadays, preferring to watch from the comfort of their living room. And ticket prices have risen greatly. (5)To sum up, while televised sport has created many opportunities and benefited certain people and clubs very much, it has also been responsible for changing the nature of live sports events for ever.1. What is the main idea of the text? (no more than 8 words)_______________________________________________________________________2. Complete the following statement with words from Paragraph 2. (no more than 3 words)There has been a great increase in TV channels in the past few years with the help of_______________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________3. Point out the advantage of televised sport which does not concern money in Paragraph 3.(no more than 3 words)_______________________________________________________________________4. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words. (no more than 6 words) _______________________________________________________________________5. What does the word “it” (Line 2, Paragraph 5) probably refer to? (no more than 3 words)_____________________________________________________________________题三：Money MattersParents should help their children understand money. 1 So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.1. The basic function of moneyBegin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收银员). 2 When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.2. Money lessonsApproach money lessons with openness and honesty. 3 If you must say no to a child’s request to spend money, explain, “You have enough toy trucks for now.”Or,if the request is for many different things, say. “You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”3. 4Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product—a namebrand butter and a generic (无商标产品), for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. 5 If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later，you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.A. Wise decisionsB. The value of moneyC. Permit the child to choose between them.D. Tell your child why he can—or cannot—have certain things.E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you.F. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.G. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest. 题四：Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain SharpEveryone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit—and that can be a very annoying thing 1 Read on for some techniques worth trying.1. 2People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer’s disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study.3 Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There’s evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or shortterm goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.2. Go for a walk.Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain 43. Learn something new.Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time. 5 or go dancing with your friends.A. Focus on the future.B. This can be especially harmful to the aged.C. It should be something like learning gardening.D. So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.E. But don’t worry if your schedule isn’t filled with lifechanging events.F. Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.G. In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain. 第12讲阅读理解2013新题赏析之新题型主讲教师：张志强北京市英语高级教师题一：1.

阅读表达〔2012·湖南卷·阅读简答〕Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to information given in the passage.A wise teacher once told me that every teenager needs to experience a not-so-fun first job from working at a grocery store to the fast food industry.Now I still remember my first day at a fast food restaurant three years ago.I wanted to save up money and buy my own car, so I applied everywhere I could that summer. The restaurant called me right away and I thought to myself, this is going to be easy. Within four hours of my first shift(轮班), I had angry customers who complained how slow I was. I watched in fear as a kid spilled his milk everywhere, and I heard the words that no 16-year-old boy or anyone for that matter wants to hea r: “Mike, there’s a problem in the men’s bathroom and you might want gloves for this one.〞 I realized right away that working at the restaurant was not going to be a picnic.

第12讲阅读理解2013新题赏析之新题型题一：[1] Do you spend over an hour each day texting messages to your friends? Do you frequently ignore work, study, and other activities to check your phone for messages? Are you anxious and restless if you are separated from your mobile phone? Do you hardly ever use your phone to talk any more, and do your thumbs hurt from texting too much?[2]If ______________________, then it is very possible that you are a textaholic. A textaholic can be defined as someone who is addicted to sending and receiving messages. The main symptoms are a strong desire to text messages, which takes precedence (优先)over everything else, and bad moods, low spirits and a lack of self-confidence if messages fail to come in. The root of the problem, as with many addictions, is the desire to escape from emotional difficulties such as stress, anxiety and relationship problems. Experts warn that text addiction is likely to become the most common form of addiction in the future, especially among the young.[3] So what can you do if you think you may be a textaholic? The key is to get your life back in balance. Make sure you resist the urge to answer every message you receive, and consider leaving your mobile phone behind occasionally when you go out. Most importantly, make a point of spending quality time with friends and family, and make time to re-learn the art of face-to-face conversation instead of conducting your relationships by means of text messages. Not only will you save time and money, but you may also rediscover the pleasure of true communication.1. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?

This is certainly having an influence on the live sports events themselves, and there are both benefits and shortcomings to this.(2)Why has there been such growth in televised sport? For one thing, with digital broadcasting, there are now many more TV channels than there were even then years ago. Moreover, sport has become an important from of entertainment, appealing to both men and women.(3)What are the benefits of this state of affairs?

What’s more, there is a health benefit to some of the population, because through televised sport, more people have become interested in actually playing sport.(4)However, ________ if so much sport is on television.

There has been a general falling in ticket sales, especially among smaller clubs. Fewer people attend live matches nowadays, preferring to watch from the comfort of their living room.
