An art show review.C. An announcement.D. An official report.BPassenger pigeons (旅鸽)once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks (群)so large that they the sky forhours.It was calculated that when it populationzxxk reached its highest point ,they were more than 3billlionpassenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.Sadly the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands, Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century ,the hardwood forests where passenger pigeonsnested hadbeen damaged by American’s need for wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds togreat flockswere gone, never to be seen again.In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons but by then,no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wi pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time , a few birds survived under humancare. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914.24. In the 18th and early 19teh centuries, passenger pigeons____.A. were the biggest bird in the worldB. lived mainly in the south of AmericaC. did great harm to the natural environmentD. were the largest bird population in the Us25. The underlined word “ undoing” probably refers to the pigeons’ ____.A. escapeB. ruinC. liberationD. evolution26. What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?A. To seek pleasure.B. To save other birds.C. To make money.D. To protect crops.27. What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?A. It was ignored by the public.B. It was declared too late.C. It was unfair.D. It was strict.CA typical lion tamer（驯兽师）in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip( 鞭) at a chair. The whip gets all of the attention, but it’s mostly for show. In reality, it’ the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair n front of the lion’s face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided, the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g. lose weight., start a business, travel more)—only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is been the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we cant’ focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.It doesn’t have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing,. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you want to accomplish, someone you want to become…take immediate action. If you’re clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.28. Why does the lion tamer use a chair? zxxkA. To trick the lion.B. To show off his skills.C. To get ready for a fight.D. To entertain the audience.29. In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?A. They feel puzzled over choices.B. They hold on to the wrong things.C. They find it hard to make changes.D. They have to do something for show30. What is the author’s attitude towards the expert mentioned in Paragraph3?A. Tolerant.B. Doubtful.C. Respectful.D. Supportive.A. wait for a better chanceB. break your old habitsC. make a quick decisionD. ask for clear guidanceD.As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations zxxkEducational , Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations _UNESCO and National Geographic among them—have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Centre Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and zxxkTheir Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India , Nepal, Bhutan, and China . But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials-including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes—which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.Now, through the two organizations that he has founded –the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project __Turin has started a campaign to make suchzxxk documents, for the world available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.32. Many scholars are making efforts to ______.A. promote global languagesB. rescue disappearing languagesC. search for language communitiesD. set up language research organizations.33. What does “that tradition’ in Paragraph 3 refer to ?A. Having full records of the languagesB. Writing books on language teaching.C. Telling stories about language usersD. Living with the native speaker.34. What is Turin’s book based on?A. The cultual studiesB. The documents available at Yale.C. His language research in Bhutan.D. His personal experience in Nepal.35. Which of the following best describe Turin’s work?A. Write, sell and donate.B. Record, repair and reward.C. Collect, protect and reconnect.D. Design, experiment and report.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

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. This is a good opportunity to bring families together and get them outdoors and helping each other to beautify (美化)the community.Organizing a trash removal event is easy if you know how to prepare for it. Get ready to improve the place where you live to make it cleaner for everyone!You need to choose a day for the trash removal event. Select a date that is about two to four months away. Planning as far in advance as possible is always smart. Choose a second date as a backup (候补)in the event of rain or other bad weather conditions.Your best situation is to select an area in your community that is often used and tends to interest people on a regular basis. 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。

According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power.Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter.This is the area of the brain which processes information.It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr.Andrea Mechelli，from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English.They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度)in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language，” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales，has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills.“Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible，”he said.“You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34.Reading，writing, and comprehension were all tested.The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better.“Studying a language means you getan entrance to another world，” explained the scientists.5．The main subject talked about in this passage is________.A．science on learning a second languageB．man’s ability of learning a second languageC．language can help brain powerD．language learning and maths study解析：选C。

高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空二轮精品训练（11）含答案AAt Yale University, enrollment in basic Chinese in 2005 grew ra pidly, and for the first time professors can remember, large num bers of freshmen were arriving with enough knowledge of the C hinese language to start in second- or third-year Chinese language class, rather than basic Chinese.The American interest in China is not just at the university level. In the 2006 school year, high-school students will be offered an Advanced Placement test, wh ich is one of the national exams American students take for uni versity admission, in Chinese. This is the first time Chinese is of fered in the Advanced Placement test, which is usually limited t o the most important subjects that high school students take. What is surprising is that earlier last year, an organization that tr acks university students surveyed high schools throughout Ame rica, asking if they planned to offer the language courses that pr epare students for the language Advanced Placement test. The y expected that only a hundred high schools, mostly in Californi a, New York, and a few other places with large immigrant populations, would show interest in each of the new language progra ms. Although that was true for the courses in Italian, Russian a nd Japanese, it was not true for the Chinese language course. There were thousands of American high schools that indicated t hat they planned to build their Chinese programs to levels wher e students could take the Advanced Placement exam for Chine se language. The demand for courses in Chinese is rising so ra pidly that it is rapidly overtaking all other foreign languages exc ept Spanish.41.

Co. uk/CanadaAbout this tripJohn Cabot had set sail looking for a new trade route for Asia, when he landed in Cape Bonavista. Clearly he felt this barren desolate landscape could provide this, so he claimed it for its pot ential and so began the rise of the British Empire. Newfoundland is the most easterly point in North America and was Britain’s first overseas colony until 1949, when it became p art of Canada. It’s roughly the size of England and Craig’s journ ey by camper van or RV (recreational vehicle) took in just a sm all part of the island called the Bonavista Peninsula.First stop was the tiny fishing port of Keels to stock up for the jo urney ahead. There’s a long standing love affair between Newf oundlanders and cod. The seas off the Newfoundland coast we re once the richest cod fishing grounds in the world, attracting fi shermen from all over Europe. Many settled, establishing these coastal villages known locally as outports.An hour’s drive down the coast is the town of Bonavista, where Craig met up with retired fisherman, Wilson Hayward. He told C raig how the landscape used to lie, and described the peculiariti es of the language and accents in the area. There’s a different l anguage in every bay.44．The title “Why not an island get-away?” _________.A. invites people to take a holiday trip to NewfoundlandB. informs people that the island is moving away from where it used to beC. tells people that they can buy the island at the price of £1080 .D. asks people to visit the website frontier-travel. /Canada 45．From the context we can conclude that “Frontier Canada” i s the name of _________.A. a tourist guideB. a kind of fish found around the islandC. a tourist agencyD. someone who has already booked the trip46．When John Cabot first discovered Cape Bonavista he was actually on a voyage to find ____.A.

In the 2006 school year, high-school students will be offered an Advanced Placement test, which is one of the national exams American students take for university admission, in Chinese. This is the first time Chinese is off ered in the Advanced Placement test, which is usually limited to the most important subjects tha t high school students take.What is surprising is that earlier last year, an organization that tracks university students survey ed high schools throughout America, asking if they planned to offer the language courses that p repare students for the language Advanced Placement test. They expected that only a hundred high schools, mostly in California, New York, and a few other places with large immigrant popul ations, would show interest in each of the new language programs. Although that was true for th e courses in Italian, Russian and Japanese, it was not true for the Chinese language course. Th ere were thousands of American high schools that indicated that they planned to build their Chi nese programs to levels where students could take the Advanced Placement exam for Chinese language. The demand for courses in Chinese is rising so rapidly that it is rapidly overtaking allother foreign languages except Spanish.41. According to the passage many freshmen at Yale University today .A. know enough basic ChineseB. needn’t learn Chinese any moreC. take courses in the Chinese languageD. go to university to study Chinese42. For university entrance, the American high-school students .A. have to learn ChineseB. learn more than one foreign language.C. take the Advanced Placement TestD. used to have a test in Chinese43. We can learn from the passage that .A. Chinese will overtake all foreign languages in American high schoolsB. Americans will know more about China and its peopleC. the U.S. government pays much attention to language studiesD. Chinese may take the place of English in American universities参考答案 ACB****************************************************结束Why not an island get-away?NewfoundlandPriceFrom £1080 per person in June 2005We went with:Frontier Canada frontier-travel. Co. uk/CanadaAbout this tripJohn Cabot had set sail looking for a new trade route for Asia, when he landed in Cape Bonavis ta.

高中英语真题-2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空类训练(2)及答案

高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空类训练（2）及答案阅读理解Against the supposition than forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia warm the climate, scientists have discovered that coolin g may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirr or more sunlight into space.This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern fores t to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climat e in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in th ese areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with clim ate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by t he earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling.This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fire s influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming b ecause greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are rel eased into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenh ouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozo ne（臭氧）levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation fr om the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the la nd within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, b ecause fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mi rrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling.“We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of g reenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked the cha nge in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate syst em as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely rela ted to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regio ns occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, h owever, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radi ation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts ar e used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost fro m the earth.1. According to the new findings, taking steps to prevent norther n forest fires may _______.A. result in a warming climateB. cause the forest fires to occur more frequentlyC. lead to a longer fire seasonD. protect the forests and the environment there【答案与解析】A 根据第二段第一句This finding suggests ……可知2. The following are all the immediate effects after a forest fire EXCEPT _________.A. large amounts of greenhouse gases enter the atmosphereB. the levels of ozone which is a type of oxygen increaseC. snow on the ground mirrors more sunlight back into spaceD. ashes from the fire fall on the ice surface and take in more ra diation from the sun【答案与解析】C 根据第四段可知3.

My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields. I would walk behin d an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. For $ 1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.It was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. I’ve never been late for any job since. I also lea rned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. More important, I earned my pay; it never entered my mind t o say I was sick just because I didn’t want to work.I was only six years old, but I was doing a man’s job. Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never e arned more than $ 18 a week. Our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet. Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, fath er, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me self-esteem(自尊心), one of the most important things a person can have. When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in b ed and dreamt of making thousands of dollars by playing golf a nd being able to buy a bicycle.The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not? I made my fi rst golf club out of guava limb(番石榴树枝) and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small holes in the grou nd and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same dev otion and intensity. I learned working in the field — except now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick. 41.

Now mind you, the ages holding this blanket were 46 from seven to five, thus the sheet was probably being held up to our waist and also close to touching the ground. But we were 47 it could work.Chris, my brother, aged four, looked down at us with hesitation, asking in a 48 voice, ―Are you sure I‘ll land on the blanket?‖ But because of a problem at 49 with his tongue being a bit attached to the mouth, it came out like this, ―Ah you sho awill lan on da blanked?‖ ―Yup!‖ I told him, ―We‘re sure!‖ and he let go.How 50 he was to trust us! And no matter how 51 we held, Chris fell right 52 that sheet and landed on his stomach. This tiny seventy-pound boy had made a big 53 right in the sheet!Because he wasn‘t moving, we bent down to sense if he was sti ll alive. Slowly, he uttered these five words, ―Ah stee hi da flow!‖, 54 , ―I still hit the floor!‖ Poor little man!Now Chris is fourteen and he still blames us about it. 55 , he wants to be a fireman when he grows up.36.

Both are copies of the famous Olympics buildings in Beijing.Xie Xizhang, a literature critic, said that taking the ―Shanzhai‖ Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the ―Shanzhai‖ version appears naturally to attract people.―In spite of its poor techniques and operation, ‗Shanzhai‘culture meets the psychological demands of common people and could be a comfort to their minds,‖ Xie said.Tia n Huiqun, a professor at Beijing Normal University, said that ―Shanzhai‖ culture never copies classic things, only trendy products. In that sense, it‘s like a computer virus, multiplying without meaning.Though controversial, ―Shanzhai‖ culture is becoming a widely accepted phenomenon.To the mainstream culture, the rise of ―Shanzhai‖ culture is a challenge as well as a motivation, said Xie.Tian said different kinds of cultures developing together is an ideal situation and it is for the public to choose.48. The Chinese Word―Shanzhai‖may have its origin in _________.A. fake cellphonesB. electronic productsC. Spring Festival GalaD. Olympics buildings49. A. The underlined word ―imitates‖ is closest in meaning to _______.A. stealsB. copiesC. advertisesD. cheats50. A. According to the passage, ―Shanzhai‖ culture refers to ________.A. The action that a person imitates famous peopleB. anything that imitates something famousC. those similar names to famous brandD. products with poor techniques and quality51. A. We can infer that the mainstream culture ________.A. Will be held back by ―Shanzhai‖ cultureB. will sooner or later be replaced by ―Shanzhai‖cultureC. may develop faster because of the challenging of ―Shanzhai‖cultureD. thinks nothing of the challenge of ―Shanzhai‖culture52. Which of the following might be the best title of passage?A.―Shanzhai‖culture will definitely fade outB.―Shanzhai‖culture –the mountain village cultureC.―Shanzhai‖culture – the mainstream cultureD.―Shanzhai‖culture takes on life of its own【答案解析】B4.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2014高考英语二轮复习阅读理解专题测试题 (1)阅读如下短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最优选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Tired of all the pushing in supermarkets? Fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought? Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping. Or is it?Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing (浏览) various websites. The claim made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to be the victim of fraud (诈骗) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing. Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation.Another problem is the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen. This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green. Also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue. Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items where design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction.Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming. Yes, your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? Often by some large vans pouring out carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems. You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated (使烦恼) by the fact that the delivery is late and you have wasted the leave from work you have taken to receive it!Without question, online shopping is here to stay and it has its benefits. However, perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its supporters claim it to be.36. The author lists several questions in Para. 1 to.A. support online shoppingB. collect answers from readersC. show his dislike of going shoppingD. introduce thetopic of the passage【答案】D【解析】推理判断题。
