专题检测卷(二十五)阅读理解(建议用时:25分钟)A机器人的应词数382 体裁说明文题材用IMAGINE that your parents have bought you the mostadvanced robot. He looks like a real person. He talks to youand plays with you. He can even think for himself and figureout what you need.It may feel as if you have a considerate new brother who keeps you company all the time. But come to think of it, can you really trust him?Ever since the first robot was created decades ago, scientists have obsessed(迷恋)over the task of making robots more like humans. However, as they have gotten closer to that goal, doubts have grown. According to the BBC, Japanese robot designer Masahiro Mori argues that the more lifelike robots become, the more humans feel a connection to them. But once they become too similar to humans, people begin to feel uncomfortable.This theory is what led to the creation of a brand new robot inSwitzerland earlier this month. Roboy, as the new machine is called, hasvarious human-like abilities such as hand-shaking and bicycle-riding, butinstead of a skin-like covering, Roboy is wrapped in shiny white armor thatclearly indicates its robot status., even if “As long as people can clearly see that the robot is a machinethey project their feelings into it, then they feel comfortable, ”Rolf Pfeifer,the creator of Roboy from the University of Zurich, Switzerland, told theBBC.But the problem that people have with robots is not just with the waythey look. It also has to do with the roles that they play in our lives.A survey last year of European Union countries showed that 88percent of those interviewed agreed that robots are“necessary as they, such as spacedo jobs that are too hard or dangerous for people”exploration and war fighting. But when it comes to taking care of children,60 percent of respondents said that robots should not be allowed to participate, because as robots become more sophisticated(先进的), parentsmay be tempted to hand over too much responsibility to them.No matter what, robots will soon enter our homes, Pfeifer said. Whatis not yet clear is whether they will act more like servants who work for usor companions who live with us.1. What is the purpose of the text?A. To introduce the newly-invented robot, Roboy.B. To discuss problems related to designing robots.C. To explore the roles robots will play in our future lives.D. To argue what kinds of robots appeal to people more.2. Why did Pfeifer make Roboy look like a robot?A. To better protect it.B. To make it look cool and modern.C. To distinguish it clearly from a human.D. To keep its price down.3. According to the second-to-last paragraph, most of the people interviewed.A. welcome robots into their homesB. believe robots are useful for certain dangerous tasksC. think families with children shouldn’t use robots for houseworkD. are afraid that children will become less responsible if robots take careof them?4. Which best describes the author’s tone in the articleA. Objective.B. Critical.C. Admiring.D. Anxious.B(2013·马鞍山模拟) 体裁议论文题材孩子的教育词数312When my son was just learning to talk, I carried himaround the house in my arms and pointed out things to him. “Look, David,. David was quick ata clock. ”He’d smile and point as I did and say“clock”connecting the shape of things to their words.When my son was about four years old, I walked with him to the backyard. I knew that there was an ant colony under one of the slate stonesin the walkway near the shed, so I said to David, “Come on. I want to showyou something. ”As I showed David the ants that were crawling around the slate stone,he crouched down on his legs and looked with great intensity at the ants.For days after that, David wanted to look under every rock in the garden, and we often found worms, ants and so on. I recognized that David loved to look at things closely and observe how things moved, and so I continued to point things out to him as he grew older: planes, cars, shellsetc. . David was a keen observer, and I just gave him the suggestions as to where to look.Today David is a medical doctor at Columbia University Center. I didnot know that David would someday be a doctor, someone who has to pay close attention to what he sees, and yet I felt compelled when he was a boyto encourage his enthusiasm for observation.That is what teachers and parents do: e ncourage a child’s enthusiasm for a particular interest: music, swimming, art, reading. And we providetools for the children. If a child likes to draw, give him brushes, pens, andpaper. If a girl likes to tap on the table top, give her a drum. If a child wantsto sing, give him a microphone and a Frank Sinatra recording.5. The author wrote the passage to.A. recall the happy times he spent with his sonB. tell us that children are full of curiosityC. tell us how to let children love natureD. advise us to develop children’s interest or talent6. The author showed David the ants to.A. prevent him from becoming boredB. develop his enthusiasm for observationC. teach him some new wordsD. arouse his interest in creatures?7. Which of the following can best describe the author’s viewpointA. Make children have their own hobbies.B. Teach children to be independent as soon as possible..C. Satisfy children’s interest by possible means.D. Hobbies can determine one’s futurethe third paragraph probably8.

Clayton kept talkingabout himself all through the entire conversation: he hadsolved problems no one else could; only his views were right; other work was inaccurate or unimportant. I could not put in a word. researchers’Extremely annoyed, I planned to avoid Clayton in the future. In fact, I decided never to have another conversation with him.A few days later I was in an education class. Our professor explainedridicule(讥笑).how one child could become the target of the other students’because t he class sees their own weaknesses g laringly “Usually it’smagnified(放大)in that student. They don’t want to admit they have thesame weakness, so they ridicule and exclude the student. The behavior ofboth the class and the excluded student is caused by personal insecurity.”As I took notes, suddenly I thought of Clayton. It struck me that I havemany of the same faults. How easily I rule a conversation and leave othersout. I, too, sometimes feel that only my opinion is right. My concerns orwork easily seems most important. As my professor had described, Ireacted negatively to someone in whom I experienced my own weakness.I changed my mind. Instead of avoiding Clayton, I’ll try to listenpatiently with the same kindness and acceptance that I need.9. The writer was extremely annoyed with Clayton partly because.A. he said not all his views were right。

高中英语真题-2014高考英语阅读理解(15)及答案
高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解(15)及答案【2014高考英语福建省联考试卷】Not long ago, few little girls imagined they could grow up to bec ome astronauts. For years in the , on1y men had that opportunit y . In 1983, that changed. Sally Ride made history by becoming the first American woman to travel to space.On Monday, Ride died at the age of 61, ‘‘Sally was a national h ero and a powerful role model,”President Barack Obama said in a statement. “She inspired generations of young girls to reach f or the stars.”Ride became interested in space when she was a kid. “If you as ked me when I was 12 whether I wanted to be an astronaut ,I’m sure I wou1d have said yes,” she said in a 2010 interview . “ B ut I didn’t even think about that as a possible career.”After studying physics in college and graduate school, Ride got her chance. She was accepted into NASA’s astronaut training p rogram in 1978, and then chosen to be the first American femal e in space. In 1983, she blasted into space aboard the Challeng er shuttle.“There is no amusement park ride on the Earth that even comes so close,” she said.Ride returned to space on the Challenger a second time in1984 . Between the two missions, she spent a total of 343 hours in o rbit. After that, she remained involved with the space program a nd also worked to share her passion for science with kids. She co-authored six science books for children , and started her own sc ience education company.Ride knew that she he1d a unique place in history . “ I realized how important it was for a woman to break that barrier and ope n the door for other women to be able to do the same exciting t hings that the men had been doing,” she said.Since Ride’s historic trip, more than 40 other American women have traveled to space. They all had Ride to thank for opening t he door to the final frontier.60. Sally Ride was regarded as a national hero because she___ ________ .A. was the first American to travel to spaceB. opened a door for women to find jobs suitable for themC. became the first American female in spaceD. was the first to travel on the Challenger61. By saying ‘‘There is no amusement park ride on the Earth that even comes so close”, Ride really meant____________ .A. she preferred a ride in an amusement park on the EarthB. the trip to space was like that in an amusement parkC. she came close to an amusement park on the EarthD. the trip to space was far more interesting than any ride on the Earth62. The correct order of the following events that happened to S ally Ride is_____________a. accepted into an astronaut training programb. spent a total of 343 hours in orbitc. co-authored six science books for childrend. traveled to space aboard the Challengere. studied physics in co11ege and graduate schoolA. e-a-b-c-dB. a-d-b-c-eC. e-a-d-b-cD. e-a-b-d-c63.The passage is most probably taken out of _______________ __ .A. a novelB. a reportC, a diaryD. an essay【参考答案】60—63\CDCB阅读理解-----------AMotorists over the age of 75 face compulsory tests of their eyes ight and ability to drive under proposals being considered by mi nisters.The biggest overhaul of motoring law in a generation could also lead to all drivers having to give assurances(保证) of their fitness to get behind the wheel every 10 years.Other changes under consideration include issuing(发放) daylight driving licenses for motorists with night blindness, together with stricter checks on all drivers whose medical condit ion brought a threat to other road users.It is understood that the proposals will be part of a review of the law governing the medical fitness of drivers that will be announ ced publicly by the summer.The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency is dealing with a risin g number of motorists who are concerned that they have conditi ons---from failing eyesight to epilepsy---that could affect their driving.In 2006, the DVLA dealt with 600,000 motorists whose physical ability to drive needed to be recertified(重新认证), a 20 per cent rise on the previous year. With an ageing population, the biggest challenge is dealing with the rising num ber of elderly motorists. By 2021, there will be an estimated th ree million drivers over the age of 70 on Britain’s roads.Drivers must renew their licenses at the age of 70 and every thr ee years thereafter. The applicant is legally required to tell the DVLA of any conditions that could weaken their ability behind t he wheel.Ministers have ruled out a compulsory maximum age for driving but will instead rely on tightening up the checks on motorists ov er the age of 75. The most likely option would be tests to ensu re motorists were fit to drive. They would include an eyesight t est and a cognitive(认知) test that would prove a driver's ability to react to road signs , driving conditions, pedestrians and vehicles.However, checks are likely to be tightened at all ages. The stri ctest controls are expected to be imposed(强制) on motorists of any age who have had a heart attack or str oke. They could have to produce a doctor's approval to resum e(重新得到) driving. Anyone making a false declaration would be guilt y of a criminal offence.1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The new motoring law will come into effect by the summer .B. Drivers over the age of 75 must renew their licenses every three years.C. Doctors will decide whether one can get their driving licens es.D. Drivers at all ages will be expected to provide their medical condition.2. What is the biggest challenge to the traffic safety in accordi ng to the writer?A. Ageing population.B. Increasing number of cars.C. Increasing number of elderly motorists.D. Driving c onditions.3. The underlined word “overhaul” in Paragraph 2 means ____ ___.A. change B. consideration C. concern D. challenge4. What can be learned from the passage?A. There will be more and more aged drivers in Britain.B. Anyone can get a driving license as long as he/she is in go od health.C. Health tends to decline as one gets old.D. It will be guilty to make a false declaration.【参考答案】1—4、DCAC阅读理解--------BIn November of 2007, NBC Universal launched its first official G reen Week.

year and I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five﹣year﹣old son,Tenyson.As we were leaving,we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete.Her husband was with her,but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.Walking towards the scene,Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple.He said to me,"Mum,it's not much fun falling over in front of everyone."At the front of the supermarket a charity(慈善)group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds.Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower."It will make her feel better,"he said.I was amazed that he'd come up with such a sweet idea.So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up."Just take it,"she replied."I can't take your money for such a wonderful gesture."By now paramedics(救援人员)had arrived,and were attending the injuredwoman.As we walked up to her,my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment.He said he was just too scared to go up to her.Instead I gave the flower to the woman's husband and told him,"My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better."At that,the old man started crying and said,"Thank you so much,you have a wonderful son.Happy Mother's Day to you."The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower,telling her who it was from.Though badly hurt and shaken,the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.56.What dose the author intend to tell us?A.One can never be too careful.B.Actions speak louder than words.C.Love begins with a little smile.D.A small act of kindness brings a great joy.57.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson.B.Tenyson's idea of buying a flower gained his father's support.C.Tenyson's care for the elderly woman puzzled the flower seller.D.The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson's gesture.58.The underlined word"intimidated"in the fourth paragraph probably means" ".A.astonished B.struck C.frightened D.excited59.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Flower PowerB.Mother's DayC.An Accidental InjuryD.An Embarrassing Moment.60.(10分)Walt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duckand Mickey Mouse.However,he cannot take the credit for creating other well﹣loved characters,such as Cinderella and Snow White.They are almost automatically associated with Disney because Disney turned old fables(寓言)into cartoon movies.The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know today.It started off with the girl mourning her mother's death and going to her tomb three times a day.In addition,there were only birds that helped Cinderella;there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice,nor was there mention of a horse and carriage.The stepsisters were cruel:they always threw Cinderella's food into the ashes of the fire and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor,hence(因此)her name.In the original story,the king's ball actually lasted for three days.With the help of the birds,the girl,beautifully dressed,danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her.However,she broke away from him to rush back home each night.On the last night,the prince placed soothing sticky on the stairs;as Cinderella made her escape,a shoe got stuck on it.Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant:when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fit the shoe,the wicked(邪恶的)stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe.The daughter did as told.So the prince took her away to be his bride.But when they passed the tomb of Cinderella's mother,the birds called out to the prince,"Turn and peep,there's blood in the shoe;the shoe is too small,the true bride waits for you."Realizing he had been tricked,the prince returned the daughter to her mother.The other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe,with the same result.Only Cinderella's foot fit perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her.The story ends with the wedding day:as Cinderella's two stepsisters followed her,pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the king's riches,two birds flew by and plucked(啄)out their eyes.Because of their wickedness and falsehood,they had to spend the rest of their days blind.The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version.Thank goodness Disney made such changes;it indeed was a wise move.60.What dose the underlined word"They"in the first paragraph refer to?A.Such wonderful things.B.Other well﹣loved characters.C.Old fables.D.Cartoon movies.61.How did Cinderella get her name?A.The Birds came up with it.B.It was given by Disney.C.It came from the word"ash".D.She got it from her mother.62.Which of the following is TRUE according to the original story?A.Helpful mice got Cinderella a beautiful dress.B.The ball was held to celebrate the prince's wedding.C.Cinderella left her shoe on the stairs on purpose.D.The birds told the prince that he had been cheated.63.The moral of the original story is that.A.a wicked person cannot escape punishment.B.a devoted person certainly deserves respect.C.a well﹣behaved child earns a great reward.D.a dishonest child cannot get mother love.64.What does the author think of the Disney version?A.Excellent.B.Ordinary C.Dull.D.Ridiculous.65.(6分)BLOOD DRIVE MARROW(骨髓)REGISTRATION"These patients deserve a chance at a normal,happy future and they rely on the kindness of the strangers to make that happen.﹣Daisy,Isabelle's MotherIsabelle is the daughter of Daisy and Saman Mirzaei.In January 2008Isabelle was diagnosed(诊断)with a genetic blood disorder,beta thalassemia.Isabelle's body is unable to produce healthy red blood cells.As a result,Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions (输血)every 4﹣6weeks since she was 11months old.A lifetime of regular transfusions can lead to serious medical problems.Her only chance at a normal,healthy life is to have a marrow transplant.Isabelle is an only child,so doctors have started a search for an unrelated marrow donor through The Match Registry.The Mirzaei family asks that you consider helping patients like Isabelle by registering to be a marrow donor and give the gift of life,the gift of blood.Held at Wiley

happiness with more money.Strange as it may seem,if you're unsatisfied,the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires﹣not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.Real riches consist of well﹣developed and hearty capacities (能力)to enjoy life.Most people are already swamped(淹没)with things.They eat,wear,go and talk too much.They live in too big a house with too many rooms,yet their house of life is a hut.Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅),a royal palace.Every new taste,every additional interest,every fresh enthusiasm adds a room.Here are several rooms your house of life should have.Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things.If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them,they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry.Literature,classic literature,is a beautiful,richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment.To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person,for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent.Real riches are of the spirit.And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk,you have increased your thrills and bettered them.And life is a matter of thrills.Sports,without which you remain poor,mean a lot in life.No matter who you are,you would be more human,and your house of life would be better supported against the had days,if you could,and did,play a bit.Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life,the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.68.The author intends to tell us that.A.true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair meansB.big houses are people's most valued possessionsC.big houses can in a sense bring richness of lifeD.true happiness comes from spiritual riches69.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that.A.however materially rich,they never seem to be satisfiedB.however materially rich,they remain spiritually poorC.though their house is big,they prefer a simple lifeD.though their house is big,it seems to be a cage70.It can be learned from the passage that.A.more money brings more happinessB.art is needed to make your house beautifulC.literature can enrich your spiritual lifeD.sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness71.What would be the best title for the passage?A.House of Life B.Secret of Wealth C.Rest and Refreshment D.Interest and Enthusiasm.72.(8分)As has been all too apparent in recent days at Balcombe,few issues cause greater concern than energy policy.Many village communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the power﹣producing machines of wind farms;yet they never take"direct action",even though the planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage.And the generous subsidies (财政补贴),which encourage the expansion of wind power,are not favorable to the village communities and set landowners in conflict with other residents (居民).Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they cause is out of proportion(比例)to the benefits they bring,because their energy output cannot match that of the carbon﹣based power stations they are supposed to replace.Supporters insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewables,nuclear and carbon,and that the country is committed to meeting EU (European Union)targets for non﹣carbon energy generation.Against this background,the fact that there is an argument within the Government over whether to publish an official report on wind farms'impact on the countryside becomes even more extraordinary.The two parties in the coalition (联合)government are in disagreement over what it should say.We have some advice for the two parties:publish the report,and let the country be the judge.Even if it contains evidence that wind farms are harmful,it will hardly be a pleasant surprise to people who do not like them.Equally,supporters must argue their case by acknowledging the concerns and explaining why they are either misplaced or worthy of much attention.The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place to produce an"acceptable"report suggests that the politics of coalition government are doing the country harm in a certain way.Given the sensitivities involved,all the information should be available so that people can reach their own conclusions,rather thanbeing left with the suspicion(猜疑)that facts are being replaced by political beliefs.72.We can learn from the first paragraph that.A.energy policy catches much attention of the publicB.the residents are in favor of the expansion of wind farmsC.many village communities are satisfied with the subsidiesD.the planning laws offer great benefits to the residents73.Supporters think that the expansion of wind power.A.is more rapid than that of carbon﹣based powerB.guarantees an increase in energy outputC.is expected to be much better than that of nuclear powerD.agrees with EU targets for non﹣carbon energy generation74.It can be inferred from the passage that.A.an official report will settle the energy problemB.the two parties are divided over the issue of wind farmsC.the two parties have agreed on a further negotiationD.political beliefs concerning energy issue go against facts75.Which of the following reflects the author's opinion?A.Increase political impact on energy policy.B.Release a statement of supporters on wind farms.C.Let the nation judge the facts about wind power.D.Leave the two parties to reach their own conclusions.五、写作(共两节,满分10分)第一节短文填词(共1小题;每小题10分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,根据以下提示:1)汉语提示,2)首字母提示,3)语境提示,在每个空格内填人一个适当的英语单词,所填单词要求意义准确,拼写正确,并将该词完整地写在答题卡中相应的横线上.76.(10分)Many of us were raised with the saying"Waste

2014高考英语阅读理解精品训练(2)及解析
2014高考英语阅读理解精品训练(2)及解析C2[2013·福建卷]When I was 12,all I wanted was a signet (图章)ring. They were the “in” thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 13th birthday, my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母)carved into it。
I was in heaven。
What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn’t being “replaced”。
We’d been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the “new” stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what we'd lost. But not my ring. My ring was new.Then, only one month later,I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it。

I grew up in a small town until I was 18 and then moved to a big city, so I have experienced the good and bad sides of both. I never thought that I would like living in a big city, but I was wrong. After ten years of living in one, I can’t imagine ever living in a small town again. Surely small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transport. In a small town, you have to own a car to make life comfortable. You can’t get around without one because there isn’t any kind of public transport. Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking, but there you have a choice of taking public transport, which is cheaper than driving. So, if you don’t have a car, you’d better live in the city. I also love the exciting life in big cities. I can always enjoy a lot of films, concerts, and other wonderful shows. However, these things are not common in small towns. The final thing I like about large cities is that you can meet different kinds of people. However, you seldom find such a variety of people in a smaller town. I think that living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become dull. Of course, safety should be considered, and that’s one area where small towns are better than big cities. Still, I would rather be a bit more careful and live in a large city than to feel safe but dull.18.【答案】C【解析】原文:M: Well, I’d love to share with you my personal opinions on city life and life in small towns.

2014福建三明高考英语阅读理解精练高考频考点21. 阅读理解〈14〉Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. ―I was a clothes addict,‖ he jokes. ―I used to carry a freshsuit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.‖ Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. ―I‘m working harder than ever,‖ David says, ―and I need to feel comfortable.‖More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as ―dress-down Friday‖ or ―casual Friday‖. ―What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.‖ said business consultant Maisly Jones. Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason i s that it‘s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.―A lot of young people don‘t want to dress up for work,‖ says the owner of a software company, ―so it‘s hard to hire people if you have aconservative dress code.‖ A nother reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. ―Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,‖ one person said. ―For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.‖72.

2014福建厦门高考英语阅读理解精练高考频考点21. 阅读理解〈7〉When the musical sound rings you, you immediately reach for your pocket ready to have a chat. But although you probably use it all the time, have you ever stopped to think about the manners related totalking o n the phone? If you haven‘t, here are some tips to guide you.●Always give the person you are calling plenty of time to get to the phone before you hang up. If the person who answers is not the one you want,give your name and ask if you may speak to the person you want.●Think about the time you call people. Try not to call too early in the morning(before about 9:00)or too late at night(after about 9:30). Also try not to call at mealtimes. ●If you go by plane to visit your relatives at Christmas, remember to follow airline instructions. Cell phones must be turned off as soon as the plane doors are closed and remain so until the doors open again on arrival.●When face to face with someone, do not talk on the phone. Itis rude to be on the phone when a waiter is trying to take your order in a restaurant, or when you are returning the shoes you have just been trying on in a shop. Finish any face-to-face business before taking a call. Continuing to use the phone while nodding to the person in front of you is quite impolite.●When in a restaurant with your friends,keep phone conversations short. Make a call only if it is important. Practise speaking in a low voice. If no one looks your way, you’ve got it.●If you go to a theatre, a concert or a cinema, co nsider the other people around you. Check that your phone is “off” before you enter. If you are expecting a very important call, put your phone on “vibrate”(振动)and run for the exit as soon as you feel it. If you forget both ―off‖ and ―vibrate‖ and your phone rings, don‘t answer it, turn it off straight away.64. Which is true according to the passage above? 【江苏省宿迁2010届期末联考】【判断正误】A. You may call people anytime as you like.B. You may talk loudly on the phone at dinner in the restaurant.C. You may keep on talking on the phone while greeting somebody.D. You may call people as soon as you get on the plane,but not after the doors are closed.65. We may infer from these tips that__________.【江苏省宿迁2010届期末联考】【逻辑推理】A. some people don‘t pay much attention to manners while making cell phone callsB. you may ask to leave a message unless the person you are calling is inC. calling people too early or too late in the morning is not politeD. almost everyone has got a cell phone66. What does the underlined sentence “…you’ve got it” meanin the passage?【江苏省宿迁2010届期末联考】【猜测句意】A. You have succeeded in making a call without disturbing others.B. You have made the phone call brief and interesting.C. You‘ve got the message you are waiting for.D. You have made a phone call secretly.67. From the tips given above, we can decide the writer is sure to share the opinion that______.【江苏省宿迁2010届期末联考】【归纳概括】A. 1ike the saying ―clothes make a man‖, nowadays cell phones make a manB. as the old saying goes, money talks; nowadays cell phonestalkC. the way we use the cell phones tells what we are likeD. we are what cell phones we use64【答案】D【解析】文中的第三点提到:Cell phones must be turned off as soon as the plane doors are closed推出答案:D。

2014高考英语阅读理解抓分练习题(45)及答案阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分, 满分40分)【福建省厦门外国语学校2013模拟】AA month went by in this manner, but a month was all I could bear。
The memory of Marguerite accompanied me wherever I went。
I had loved that woman – still loved her – too much for her suddenly to mean nothing to me. Whatever feelings I might have for her now, I had to see her again. At once.…I knew Marguerite. Meeting me so unexpectedly must have thrown her into a state of great confusion. Probably,she had heard of my departure which had set her mind at rest as to the consequences of our sudden parting。
But, seeing me back and coming face to face with me, weak as I was, she had sensed that my return had a purpose,and must have wondered what was going to happen。
If, when I saw her again, Marguerite had been unhappy;if,in taking my revenge (复仇),there had also been some way of helping her then I might well have forgiven her, and would certainly never have dreamed of doing her any harm. But when I saw her again,she was happy, at least on the surface。
2014福建漳州高考英语阅读理解精练
2014福建漳州高考英语阅读理解精练高考频考点21. 阅读理解〈112〉My newly-rented small apartment was far away from the centre of London and it was becoming essential for me to find a job, so finally I spent a whole morning getting to town and putting my name down to be considered by London Transport for a job on the underground. They were looking for guards, not drivers. This suited me. I couldn‘t drive a car but thought that I could probably guard a train, and perhaps continue to write my poems between stations. The writers Keats and Chekhov hadbeen doctors. T.S. Eliot had worked in a bank and Wallace Stevens for an insurance company. I‘d be a subway guard. I could see myself being cheerful, useful, a good man in a crisis. Obviously I‘d be overqualified but I was willing to forget about that in return for a steady income and travel privileges — those being particularly welcome to someone living a long way from the city centre.The next day I sat down, with almost a hundred other candidates, for the intelligence test. I must have done all right because after about half an hour‘s wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test. This time there were only about fifty candidates. The interviewer sat at a desk. Candidates were signaled forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous occupant had been dismissed, after a greater or shorter time. Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones. Some of the interviews were as short as five minutes. Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half.I can remember the questions now: ―Why did you leave your last job?‖ ―Why did you leave your job before that?‖ ―And the one before that?‖ I can‘t recall my answers, except that they were short at first and grew progressively shorter. His closing statement, I thought, revealed (揭示) a lack of sensitivity which helped to explainwhy as a psychologist, he had risen no higher than the underground railway. “You’ve failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position.”Failing to get that job was my low point. Or so I thought, believing that the work was easy.

高考频考点21. 阅读理解〈9〉Last year, I lived in Chile for half a year. I lived with a Chilean family and had the responsibilities of any Chilean teenager. I had good days and bad days I didn'‘t understand.Chuquicamata, my host community, is a mining camp. When I arrived there, I was scared. It was so different from what I was used to. There were lots of dogs on the streets, and there was no downtown, few smoothly paved streets, and little to do for entertainment. Rain was not seen very often, earthquakes and windstorms were frequent.I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class. But in my first week in Chile I was only able to communicate and needed one person to whom I could explain my shock. I couldn‘t speak the thoughts in my head and there wer e so many.Most exchange students experience this like me. Culture shock presents itself ineverything from increased aggression towards the people to lack of appetite (食欲)..I was required to overcomeall difficulty.As time passed, everything changed. I began to forget wordsin English and to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food. I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun. Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. And I took math, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, art, and philosophy.But the sacrifices were nothing compared to the gain. I learned how to accept and to succeed in another culture. I now have a deeper understanding of both myself and others.72.

专题检测卷(二十五)阅读理解(建议用时: 25分钟)AOn the morning of Super Bowl Sunday inFebruary, I didn’t have to think about what to wear.It was smelly, shabby and too small for me, but noneof that mattered - it was my lucky NFL footballjersey(运动衫), a black-and-gold No. 36 Jerome Bettis shirt. My dad bought it for me when I was little. I would wear it every day that the Pittsburgh Steelers, my favorite NFL team, played a game. On this particular day, I couldn’t dream of breaking my habit.Sports superstitions like mine are extremely common in the United States, because being a sports fan is a bit like practicing a religion. Just as religious people perform various rituals(仪式)to send love to their gods, sports fans’routines send supportive energy to their favorite teams. All sports fans stubbornly believe that this helps their teams win.For years, my friends and I would watch the Steelers play football onthe same TV, eating the same snacks, wearing the same clothes.We’d even do bizarre things. During crucial plays, we would each grab our left foot and be completely silent. We thought this gave our team favor with the “football gods”.That Sunday, back in 2009, the football gods smiled on us - while we each held onto our left foot, Santonio Holmes caught a pass from Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers won their sixth Super Bowl.As I looked around at the fans celebrating in the Pittsburgh streets, I could see that they felt they had won the game themselves. And in a way, they had—their weird(奇怪的)rituals had worked.None of them asked me to change into a better-smelling shirt.1. What is the purpose of the text?A. To describe his enthusiasm for football.B.
