Recently three kinds of foods are very popular in the United States. Convenience FoodsInstead of buying only fresh foods, Americans buy many more convenience foods. These are foods which are ready partly or completely prepared. There are also many canned convenience foods, such as soups and vegetables.Convenience foods save time and trouble. They are popular with people who are busy or who don’t like to cook or wash dishes. But they often cost more money than fresh, unprepared foods and may contain man-made additives. Also they don’t taste as good as home-cooked foods.Health FoodsIn the 1960s, a “back to-the –earth〞 movement was started by young people in the United States. The movement was a reaction against the harmful effects of technology. Many people now prefer natural and organic foods to the prepared foods sold in food stores.Diet foodsThese days Americans are more and more concerned with their weight.

Some people think water ices and milk ices may have been made by the Chinese between three thousand and a thousand years ago. In that timt, the dish reached India. The Indians, in turn, many have passed on the secret to the Arabs and Persians.Marco Polo, an Italian who traveled widely in the thirteenth century, noted that he found the Chinese had long been making ices out of fruit juices and milk. From the fourteenth century on, ices became popular first in Venice and then throughout Italy.At first ice cream was a luxury﹙奢侈品﹚ in France. Only rich people had the money to buy it. Then , in 1660, a young man from Sicily, Francisco Procopio, arrived in Paris. He opened a shop that sold ice cream at prices people could afford. Then his ice cream became so popular that other shops were opened.About 1640, King Charles introduced ice cream to England and soon ice cream quickly became popular in England too.Americans now eat more ice cream than any people in the world. But they are not the only ones who are fond of it. Greeks are also fond of ice cream. In the large citiesof Germany there are many small shops that sell only ice cream. Ice cream shops are not as common as in England, although large London stores do have soda fountains ﹙﹚.Ice cream sodas first became popular sometime in the 1880s in the United States. In fact they soon became too popular to suit some of the good people of Evanston, Illinois. They thought it was not proper to drink soda on Sunday. A city law was passed to stop the ice cream soda on Sundays. To keep within the law, it is said that one man served ice cream with syrup﹙糖水﹚ .Throughout its long history, ice cream has been a favorite dish, But only in this century has it been made with so many different tastes. People today can select from more than 240 flavors.﹙出处：2012江苏省质量调研篇高考全真模拟试卷八﹚参考答案：1. 根据第一段句意和文章的最后一段中的Throughout its long history 可知History2.根据第二段第二句话可知 least ，at least至少3, 根据第四段填introduced4. 根据文章中出现的国家的名字，他们都属于欧洲国家，所以Europe5.根据第二段最后一句话中的throughout Italy.可知填over ／ around6根据第五段的句意填.

Education, which greatly affects the qualities of human resources, has undergone rapid developments in recent years.Last year, China had more than 2 million graduates from colleges or universities, and another 3.5 million graduates from vocational schools.Despite the great developments in education, in the era of reform, lawmakers exposes and criticized many problems in the developments of education , which trouble, if not anger, the public.One of the most glaring problems is that in China’s vast rural areas, even the most basic education is not available to some children. And elsewhere, even if they haveaccess, the facilities available for them are still a far cry from those in cities. Official statistics show that at the primary stage, there are a big number of rural students who drop out of school because they do not have the money to pay their tuition fees.At college level, there have been some big increases in tuition fees over the last few years. So, some students from rural areas have also been forced to abandon their dreams.China has a long tradition of valuing education and Chinese parents are willing to save each and every penny to support their children’s schooling. But in a nation of more than 1.3 billion people, upholding equal opportunities in the education sector is a discouraging task.The central government is delicated to quickening the development of the cause, It will cancel rural school fees and offer the children in poverty－stricken areas financial support so they can all enjoy the equal education and complete the nine －year compulsory schooling programme.The most important part of the issue lies in the amount of cash put into it. On the other hand, it is more than an issue of fiscal input﹙财政收入﹚. The unbalanced distribution of resources between rural and urban schools risks slowing down the future of China’s vast rural areas, where two thirds of the population live. Education is undoubtedly the long－term lifeline of citizens. Good education promotes more than personal well－being or the fulfillment of individual ambition. As individual ability grows, the nation will become stronger and more prosperous. Equality in education is vital to the sustainability of our nation’s economic progress. It has a big impact on every citizen’s quality of life, so the government must do all it can to achieve this goal.﹙出处：2012总分为计划高考英语一轮复习模拟试卷四﹚解析：1.填effect/influence/impact。

When the bundle was in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped. The doctorturned quickly and looked out of the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.Time proved that the baby’ s hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was imperfect. When he rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mother’s arms, she sighed, knowing that his life was to be misfortunate. He cried out the tragedy, “A boy, a big boy... called me a freak (怪人)．”He grew up, handsome. A favourite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music. “But you might communicate with other young people，” his mother blamed him, but felt a kindness in her heart.Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, “You’ re going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it’ s a secret.” The operation was a brilliant success, and a new person emerged.Later he married and entered the diplomatic service. One day, he asked his father, “Who gave me the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her.” “I do not believe you could，” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know... not yet.”The years kept their secret, but the day did come. He stood with his father over his mother’ s casket. Slowly, tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to reveal the mother had no outer ears.“Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut，” his father whispered gently, “and nobody ever thought Mother less beautiful, did they？”【文章大意概括】本文讲述了一个感人的故事。

Thedisappearance of such striking features had changed the appearance of the town centre entirely, to the annoyance of its more conservative inhabitants( 居民 ).Among the annoyed, under more normal circumstances, would have been Chief Inspector Douglas Pelham, head of the local police force. But at the height of thatweek's storm, when t he wind brought down even the mature walnut tree in his garden,Pelham had in fact been in no fit state to notice. A large and healthy man, he hadfor the first time in his life been seriously ill with an attack of bronchitis.When he first complained of an aching head and tightness in his chest, his wife,Molly, had tried to persuade him to go to the doctor. Convinced that the police force could not do without him, he had, as usual, ignored her and attempted to carry onworking. Predictably, though he wouldn't have listened to anyone who tried to tellhim so, this had the effect of fogging his memory and shortening his temper.It was only when his colleague, Sergeant Lloyd, took the initiative and drovehim to the doctor's door that he finally gave in. By that time, he didn't have thestrength left to argue with her . In no time at all, she was taking him along to thechemist's to get his medicine and then home to his unsurprised wife who sent himstraight to bed.WhenMolly told him, on the Thursday morning, that the walnut tree had been brought down during the night, Pelham hadn’t been able to take it in. On Thursday evening,he had asked weakly about damage to the house, groaned( 含糊不清地说) thankfully when he heard there was none, and pulled the sheets over h is head.It wasn't until Saturday, when the medicine took effect,his temperature dropped and he got up, that he realised with a shock that the loss of the walnut tree hadmade a permanent difference to the appearance of the living-room.The Pelhams'large house stood in a sizeable garden. It had not come cheap, but even so Pelham had noregrets about buying it. The leafy garden had created an impression of privacy. Now, though, the storm had changed his outlook.Previously,the view from the living-room had featured the handsome walnut tree. This had not darkened the room because there was also a window on the opposite wall,but it had provided interesting patterns of light and shade that hid the true stateof the worn furniture that the family had brought with them from their previous house.With the tree gone, the room seemed cruelly bright,its worn furnishings exposed in all their shabbiness. And the view from the window didn’t bear looking at. Thetall house next door, previously hidden by the tree, was now there, dominating theoutlook with its unattractive purple bricks and external pipes. It seemed to havea great many upstairs windows, all of them watching the Pelhams' every movement.“Doesn’t it look terrible?” Pelham whispered to his wife.But Molly, standing in the doorway, sounded more pleased than dismayed.“That's what I ’ve been telling you ever since we came here. Wehave to buy a new sofa, whatever it costs.”6.Why were some people in Brackham annoyed after the storm?A. No market could be held.B. The police had done little to help.C. The town looked different.D. Fallen trees had not been removed.7.In the third paragraph, what do we learn about Chief Inspector Pelham’s general attitude to his work?A. He finds it extremely annoying.B.Не is sure that he plays an important role.C.Не considers the systems are not clear enough.D.He does not trust the decisions made by his superiors.8.What aspect of the Pelhams’ furniture does “shabbiness ”in paragraph 8 describe?A. its condition.B. its colour.C. its position.D. its design.9.As a result of the storm, the Pelhams’ living-room _____.A. was pleasantly lighterB. felt less privateC. had a better viewD. was in need of repair10.Why did Molly sound pleased by her husband’s comment?A. It proved that he was well again.B.She agreed about the tree.C. She thought he meant the sofa.D. It was what she expected him to say.参照答案CBABCC8 [2013 ·湖北卷 ] EA German study suggests that people who were too optimistic about their futureactually faced greater risk of disability or death within 10 years than those pessimists who expected their future to be worse.The paper, published this March in Psychology and Aging, examined health andwelfare surveys from roughly 40，000 Germans between ages 18 and 96.The surveys were conducted every year from 1993 to 2003.Survey respondents (受访者 ) were asked to estimate their present and future life satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10, among other questions.The researchers found that young adults (age 18 to 39) routinely overestimatedtheir future life satisfaction, while middle － aged adults (age 40 to 64) more accurately predicted how they would feel in the future.Adults of 65 and older, however, were far more likely to underestimate their future life satisfaction.Not only didthey feel more satisfied than they thought they would, the older pessimists seemedto suffer a lower ratio ( 比率 ) of disability and death for the study period.“We observed that being too opti mistic in predicting a better future than actually observed was associated with a greater risk of disability and a greater risk of death within the following decade，” wrote Frieder R．Lang, a professor at the University of Erlangen－Nuremberg.Lang and his colleagues believed that people who were pessimistic about theirfuture may be more careful about their actions than people who expected a rosy future.“Seeing a dark future may encourage positive evaluations of the actual self and may contribute to taking improved precautions (预防举措)，” the authors wrote.Surprisingly,compared with those in poor health or who had low incomes,respondents who enjoyed good health or income were associated with expecting a greater decline.Also, the researchers said that higher income was related to a greater riskof disability.The authors of the study noted that there were limitations to their conclusions.Illness, medical treatment and personal loss could also have drivenhealth outcomes.However, the researchers said a pattern late adulthood, individuals adapt theirwas clear.“We found that from early to expectations of future life satisfaction fromoptimistic, to accurate, to pessimistic，” the authors concluded.67． According to the study, who made the most accurate prediction of their future life satisfaction?A．Optimistic adults.B．Middle －aged adults.C．Adults in poor health.D．Adults of lower income.68． Pessimism may be positive in some way because it causes people ________．A．to fully enjoy their present lifeB．to estimate their contribution accuratelyC．to take measures against potential risksD．to value health more highly than wealth69． How do people of higher income see their future?A．They will earn less money.B．They will become pessimistic.C．They will suffer mental illness.D．They will have less time to enjoy life.70． What is the clear conclusion of the study?A．Pessimism guarantees chances of survival.B．Good financial condition leads to good health.C．Medical treatment determines health outcomes.D．Expectations of future life satisfaction decline with age.【重点综述】本文是一篇谈论文，主要叙述对将来过于乐观的人将面对残疾或死亡的巨大危险。

Quite often in rural areas, kids of all 2 were taught in the same one-room schoolhouse.Decades later in the 1980s, home-schooling made a comeback when religiously conservative parents convinced states to 3 and give full credit for the teaching of children at home. The home-schooling 4 has since broadened to include parents of all faiths—or no faith at all. Thus, an 5 1. 5 million American children—about 3 percent of the school-age population—won’t be going an ywhere as schools open for the 6 term.7 , one or both of their parents will gather books and other materials, 8 lesson plans, and teach their children everything from algebra to zoology right in their living rooms.Home-schooling’s big selling point f or many parents is the 9 that children get their ethical 10 from the people with whom they spend the most time.In home-schooling households, it’s not11 to find several children, aged 4 to 16, being taught together. 12 kids help younger ones, as they 13 did in those one-room schoolhouses. Many home-taught students are good at several 14 and have no trouble 15 to college, often with academic scholarships in hand.But critics point to home teachers lack of 16 and credentials. “No one’s supervising them, 〞they say. And they 17 that pulling kids out of school may deprive them 18 social skills.Home-schooling parents dispute the notion that their children are 19 isolated and bookish. “They are, 〞the parents say, “20 hard workers who go to scout and church meetings, play sports, and shop at malls right alongside their friends who go to school. 〞1.

高中英语真题-2014高考英语阅读理解抓分练习(39)及答案
高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解抓分练习（39）及答案阅读理解When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could le ave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm and，in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside w orld. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to t he capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its probl ems too.One big disadvantage is money—it costs so much to go out，not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvant age is pollution. I suffer from asthma (哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle，but that can be quite dangerous.Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city，whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment (娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally，if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising—and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.Is life better then，in the city? Perhaps it is，when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However, as you get older，and especially if you have small children, the peace of the coun tryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back ther e soon.1、. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?A. Staying on the farm.B. Moving to the countryside.C. Leaving home for the city.D. Running away from the school.【详解剖析】细节理解题。
高中英语真题-2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空类训练(11)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（11）及答案阅读理解Technology has been an encouragement of historical ch ange. It acted as such a force in England heginning in the eight eenth century, and across the entire Western World in the ninet eenth. Rapid advances were made in the use of scientific findin gs in the manufacture (制造)of goods, which hanged ide as about work. Onc of the first c hanges was that other forms of energy have taken the place of human power. Along with this came the increased use of mach ines to manufacture products in less time. People also develop ed machines that could produce the same parts for a product: e ach nail was exactly like every other nail. meaning that each nai l could be changed for every other nail. This means that goods could be mass production, ahhough mass production required b reaking production down into smaller and smaller tasks.Oncc this was done, workers no longer started on the produ ct and lahored to complete it. Instead, they might work only one thousandth of it, other workers completing their own parls in ce rtain order.There is nothing strange about this manufacturing work by toda y's standards. Highly skilled workers were unable to com pare with the new produciion techniques, as mass production allowe d goods of high standard to be produced in greater num- ber th an could ever be done by hand. But the skilled workers wasn't t he only loser, thc common workers lost too. Similar changes fo rced fanners a way. The increased mechanization (械化) of agriculture freed masses of workers from ploughing the la nd and harvesting its crops. They had little choice but to stream toward the rapidly developing industrial centers. Increasingly, standards were set by machines. Workers no longer owned thei r own tools, their skill was no longer valued, and pride in their w ork was no longer possible. Workers fed, looked after and repa ired the machines that could work faster than humans at greatly reduced cost.1. In this passage, which of the following is NOT considered asa change caused by tile use of scientific findings in the producti on of goods?A. Other forms of energy have taken the place of human pow er.B. The increased exploitation of workers in the 19th century.C. The increased use of machines to make products in less ti me.D. The use of machines producing parts of the same stand ar d.答案：B 指导：由文中第一段可知。
