高考英语二轮阅读理解限时训练精品题(6)及答案

2014高考英语二轮阅读理解限时训练精品题（6）及答案[文化教育型阅读理解(一)]A Practical English Grammar is intended for intermediate(中级的) and post-intermediate students. We hope that more advanced learners and teachers will also find it useful.The book is a comprehensive survey of structures and forms, written in clear modern English and illustrated with numerous examples. Areas of particular difficulty have been given special attention. Differences between conversational usage and strict grammatical forms are shown but the emphasis is on controversial forms.In the fourth edition, the main changes are as follows.1．Explanation and examples have been brought up to date.2．There is now more information on countable and uncountable nouns, attributive and predicative adjectives, adverbs of place, sentence adverbs, cleft sentences, prepositions, conjunctives, modal verbs, perfect tenses, infinitive constructions, the passive, purpose clauses.3．Some material has been rearranged to make comparisons easier. For example, parts of chapters on can, may, must，etc. are now grouped by functions; verbs of liking and preference have a chapter to themselves; suggestions and invitations have joined the chapter on commands, requests and advice.4．The content list now summaries every edition heading, and there is a new index containing many more entries references.In this edition, the sign “～” is frequently used to show a change of speaker in examples of dialogues. Note also says that although the sign “＝”sometimes connects two words or expressions with the same meaning, it is often used more freely, e．g. to indicate a transformation from active to passive or direct to indirect speech.We wish to thank all at Oxford University Press who have assisted in the preparation of the fourth edition. We would also like to thank Professor Egawa of Nihon University, Japan, Professor Rene Dirven of Duisburg University, WestGermany and other colleagues for their friendly and helpful suggestions.1.

When you see this line in the book, “Did you get a ticket? ～Yes, I managed to get one”，we can understand that ________．A．the two parts before and after the sign “～” mean the sameB．the two parts before and after “～” are said by two different peopleC．the second speaker repeats what the first speaker saysD．the topic is changed in the part after the sign “～”5.

2014年高考英语全国卷2-答案

2014普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（全国新课标卷2）英语答案解析第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力第一节1.【答案】A2.【答案】B3.【答案】C4.【答案】B5.【答案】A第二节6.【答案】B7.【答案】C8.【答案】A9.【答案】C10.【答案】A11.【答案】A12.【答案】C13.【答案】B14.【答案】C15.【答案】A16.【答案】C17.【答案】B18.【答案】C19.【答案】A20.【答案】B第二部分阅读理解第一节21.【答案】B【解析】根据第一段内容可知，作者的丈夫只身一人到达悉尼之后就开始找房子。

故选B。

【解析】根据倒数第二段最后一句可知，那位女孩的父母是在一封写了一半的信里发现作者丈夫留给朋友的新电话号码的。

故选C。

23.【答案】D【解析】根据“not only...but also...”所连接的“restore”后面的宾语，并结合上文可知，小女孩一家人把那些重要的文件还给了作者的丈夫，所以此处应选D项，意为“恢复”。

24.【答案】C【解析】文章主要讲述了作者的丈夫丢失的重要文件被人扔在垃圾箱里面，然后又被一家好心人捡到重新归还给作者的丈夫的故事，这使作者的丈夫又重拾了对人性的信任。

作者丈夫的这些东西之所以能够失而复得离不开垃圾箱这一线索。

因此C项做标题最恰当。

文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“地球日”的来历以及它在唤起人们的环保意识、节能减排、保护环境等方面所做的贡献。

25.【答案】C【解析】根据文章第一段可知，在1970年以前人们不知道什么是“环境”，更不知道环境问题。

故选C。

26.【答案】A细节理解题。

难度中等。

【解析】根据第二段第二句可知，文中的“millions of”与题干中的“mainly”相符，所以对环保的支持主要来自美国的草根民众。

故选A。

27【答案】D【解析】根据倒数第二段尤其是该段最后一句内容可知，美国通过采取有效的措施大大降低了污染。

C项干扰性很强，但是与原文第三段第二句“The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9.”不符，原文意思是说CO超标的城市数量从40个减少到9个。

2014年全国高考英语试题分类汇编_阅读之新题型(含解析)

2014全国高考汇编阅读新题型一（2014安徽卷）第一节任务型读写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

Many people believe that classical music is not relevant to young people today . However, this issue (问题) frequently causes heated debate.Some people say that classical music is associated only with old people .For example, if you look at the audience at a classical concert , the majority is over the age of fifty.Others say it is more popular than we first imagine . Many young people listen to classical music without realising .It is often used in films and advertisements. For example.a famous piece of classical music was used as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup . Not many people could have given its name , but millions enjoyed it .Also,some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas: for example, it is said that rap(说唱)music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is now used by young people in pop music.However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology. To play a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need to study hard and practise for hours. Nowadays, you don't need to get aching arms from practising. A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom.A final point to in mind is that the term "classical music" is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras(管弦乐队).This makes it even more difficult to say whether classical music is relevant to young people.So, it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments ,but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music. It may be more relevant to young people in the modern world than they realise!【答案】relevant【试题解析】原词再现。

高考英语阅读理解(教育文化)试题(有答案和解析)及解析

高考英语阅读理解 ( 教育文化 ) 试题 ( 有答案和分析 ) 及分析一、高中英语阅读理解教育文化类1．阅读理解It's a common belief that the roles actors play might somehow reflect their true personalities.It's usually not true, but British actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge, 34, is an exception.Just like Fleabag, the character she played in the comedy-drama series of the same name, Waller-Bridge feels that her life is a mess. "It's just really wonderful to know that a dirty and messed up woman can make it to the Emmys," she said. She may be "messed up", but Variety magazine calls her an "all-around icon".Last month, Waller-Bridge took home three Emmy awards for her work on Fleabag — best writing in a comedy series, best lead actress, and best comedy series.Her success is partly because of her family. Waller-Bridge was brought up in a free environment. Her mother always told her, "You can be whatever you want if you imagine it." So Waller-Bridge broke all the rules about what a "good" girl should do. "Our laws and moral codes don't apply—she lives without fear of consequence," The Sun noted.That fearlessness extends to being authentic ( 真切的 ) in her writing and acting. Unlike the can-do heroines and strong, successful women in many TV dramas, Waller-Bridge shows a flawed butreal character. The character Fleabag was a screw-up who always found a way to say or do thewrong thing. "It resonated with the lives of stressed-out women everywhere in reality—doing their best to find balance in their lives," a viewer wrote on US movie website.Villanelle in Killing Eve, another hit TV series developed by Waller-Bridge, was a little bit violent but showed no interest for the rules others created, which make many people see themselvesin her."People have been scared to write characters like these. But I think, now, women are so relieved to have this new template ( 样板 ). And, aren't we all a bit of everything?" Waller-Bridge said in an interview with Indian Express.With such courage and sincerity, Waller-Bridge is, without a doubt, a "golden girl" in Hollywood, Australian news website The New Daily commented.（1） What is the article mainly about?A.What helped Waller-Bridge succeed in comedy.B.The popularity of the comedy-drama series Fleabag.C.What inspired Waller-Bridge to take up writing and acting.D.The similarities between Phoebe Waller-Bridge and the character she plays on Fleabag.（2） How did Waller-Bridge's parents influence her growth?（3） The underlined phrase "resonated with" in Paragraph 7 probably means "__________".A.messed upB.paid attention toC.had great effects onD.was in agreement with（4） What do Villanelle in Killing Eve and Fleabag in Fleabag have in common?A.Both are courageous and organized.B.Both are much alike in character.C.Both successfully find balance in their lives.D.Both are rebellious but strong and successful.【答案】（ 1） A（2） B（3） D（4） B【分析】【剖析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了喜剧演员沃勒·布里奇，因其真挚的个性特色在喜剧上获取了成功，说了然勇于表达真切的自己更加人们赏识。

2014年全国高考英语试题分类汇编：阅读之文化教育类 Word版含解析

2014全国高考汇编阅读之文化教育类一（2014安徽卷）DShould we allow modern buildings to- be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons for example, economic (经济的) reasons-why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的)and do not like change.Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward . If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be living in caves . Thus , I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different , even though that might be the more risky choice.68.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?A.Some of them are not attractive.B.Most of them ate too expensive to preserve.C.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.D.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.69.Which of the following is true according to the author ?A.We should reproduce the same old buildings.B.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.C.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.70.By ―move things forward ‖ in the last paragraph , the author probably means―‖A.Destroy old buildingsB.Put things in a different placeC.Choose new architectural stylesD.Respect people’s feelings for historical buildin gs71.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain why people dislike change.B.To warn that we could end up living in caves.C.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.D.To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.【考点】考察文化类阅读【文章大意】是否可以在历史遗迹的地方建设现代化的建筑？文章对此问题进行了讨论，作者如果在不破坏原来情况的基础上我们是可以这样做的，因为很多现代建筑能够提升城市的品味。

高考英语阅读理解(教育文化)试题经典

高考英语阅读理解(教育文化)试题经典一、高中英语阅读理解教育文化类1．阅读理解The arts, especially music, should be part of every school's lessons at every grade level. Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang(团伙). Parents can enjoy listening to their children's music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.Music builds self-confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of an audience. Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence.Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their character. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.（1）According to the passage, music could make students smarter by _______________.A.improving their classroom skills and paying attentionB.improving their classroom skills and imaginationC.improving their attention, direction and imaginationD.learning music, making music and trying out their own ideas（2）What does the underlined phrase "glued to" in the second paragraph mean?A.unwilling to turn onB.always lookingC.unwilling to leaveD.always playing（3）The third paragraph mainly tells us that music could _______________.A.give children self-expression and self-confidenceB.bring to children achievement and successC.give children something to be proud ofD.develop children's self-confidence（4）What's the best title of this passage?A.Music is a must as a course at school.B.Music builds children's self-confidence.C.Music makes students much smarter.D.Learning music and making music.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）D（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文介绍了音乐在学生的成长过程中不容忽视的作用，应该被列为学校里的一门必修课程．音乐不但能够提高学生们的注意力和服从指挥的能力，而且也能让学生发挥想象力，培养他们的创造能力。

2014高考英语阅读理解精品训练题(1)及答案(解析)

2014高考英语阅读理解精品训练题（1)及答案（解析）Today’s children are the “result" of the modern society. Our parents have jobs that keep them busy almost all day long. They only have a free day in a week. This doesn't allow them to keep an eye on their children。

On the other hand, the modern society gives more freedom to the children than they could “handle”. As a child，you don’t know how to grow up by yourself until you reach a certain age。

That is why you need school and parents to be by your side all the time。

If you do n’t have either of them you may make a lot of mistakes。

The social system of the modern society is very lenient especially with the children.Most of the children today are rebels (判逆者). They are rude。

They are given too much freedom by their families. Thi s is their parent’s mistake. They ought to know that the freedom they give to their children is misunderstood.For example it is a bad thing for a 17 – year – old child to go out in the evening on weekends. Parents are also guilty of the way their children show up in the street or at school。

They chose Tom to be ___captain of the team because they knew he was __smart leader.A。

a；the B. the; the C. the; a D. a; a【考点】考察冠词【答案】C【解析】本题第一空后面的名词captain队长后面有介词短语of the team修饰，表示特指，所以使用定冠词the表示特指。

第二空后的可数名词leader前面有形容词smart修饰，用a修饰表示泛指。

句义：他们选择Tom作为队长，因为他是一个聪明的领袖。

故C正确。

【试题延伸】本题着重理解定冠词和不定冠词的区别，定冠词the表示特指，不定冠词a/an 表示泛指;对于冠词特指和泛指的考察是历年来高考的必考点,平时的学习要多进行积累,仔细分析特指还是泛指.【举一反三】It's good feeling for people to admire the Shanghai World Expo that gives them pleasure.A。

Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers.

And that’s true all across the country.“I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age” Joseph Stocke, the managing director of s company, says of his 2-year old son. “I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future,” After only six months of being cared by 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says. zxxkLi Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China. She didn’t want her children to miss out on their roots.” Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture.” she says.“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom,” says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of Children.” But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”The popularity if au pairs from china has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.9.What does that term” au pair” in the text mean?A. A mother raising her children on her ownB.

2014高考英语试题分类汇编：阅读之文化教育类_Word版含解析

There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension. He spent the entire session running around, hitting and kicking, and destroying property.I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-worker told me that this boy’s teacher was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking, the boy ran in. I told my co-worker that I would take care of him.I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket. I talked to him about it. We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation:―So what happened today?‖It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didn’t let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start, which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize.51. The boy made trouble for his teacher because he ______.A. was accused of destroying propertyB. was told not to yell at other childrenC. was made to do things against his willD. was blamed for creating an air of tension52. Why didn’t the author do anything about the boy’s bad behavior at first?A. She didn’t want to make it worse.B. She didn’t mind the huge mess at all.C. She was tired of shouting and threats.D. She hadn’t thought of a coping strategy.53. The author managed to get the boy to talk to her by ______.A. playing games with himB. giving him a good suggestionC. describing his teacher’s feelingsD. avoiding making critical remarks54. Why did the boy have tears in his eyes in the end?A. He was sorry about his reputation.B. He was regretful about his behavior.C. He was fearful of the author’s warning.D. He was sad for the author’s misunderstanding.【考点】考察文化教育类阅读【文章大意】作者在本文中通过教育一个小男孩，让他认识到自己的错误告诉我们人与人之间需要的是沟通和理解。

高考英语阅读理解(教育文化)试题(有答案和解析)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解教育文化类1．阅读理解Everywhere we look, we are surrounded by technology. We heavily rely on technology for our day-to-day lives. There are the social media apps, such as Facebook, Twitter, where we are able to see into the lives of everyone around us. There are other more useful apps like Google Maps where you can use a GPS to get from one place to another. It is no wonder that we are constantly looking down at our phones and other devices. And, that is a problem.Pretty soon, I fear that people will no longer be able to communicate face to face. I personally love being able to sit down and have a conversation with someone sans cell phones and distractions. It shows that you care about who you are talking to and want to involve and listen to them. The cell phone can wait until later.What I really dislike is that younger and younger children are using technology. Instead of playing outside with friends, they are playing on iPads, iPods, or video games. Instead of having little games or books, children now have electronic devices to use to distract them even if waiting at doctors' appointments etc. They want cell phones at young ages. They have texting. I overheard sixth graders one day talking about texting, and I was a little sad. At that age, I had to call my friends on the phone in order to talk to them.We are a society based on technology. And, that isn't a completely bad thing, given its use in areas such as medicine. But we shouldn't be addicted to so many of these devices that we forget to look around and see what is happening in the world around us.（1）What can be concluded from the first paragraph?A.Some tech products leave us unable to focus.B.Social media apps make people more visible.C.Many people usually misuse social media apps.D.Technology provides us with a convenient life.（2）Which can best replace the underlined word "sans"?A.is need ofB.withoutC.is spite ofD.with（3）What's the author's attitude towards using technology in medicine?A.Indifferent.B.Opposed.C.Concerned.D.Supportive.（4）What does the author really want to show in the passage?A.We should take a step back from constantly using technology.B.The electronic devices are closely connected with our life.C.Society should no longer be based on technology.D.We should say goodbye to electronic devices.【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）D（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者提出了在日常生活中人们严重地依赖高科技产品的现象，并表达自己的观点：不要沉迷于电子产品。

Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries describedflocks（群）so large that they darkened the sky for hours.It was calculated that when its population reach its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons – a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant birds 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 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 pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans’ need for wood, which scattered（驱散）the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were 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 wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden in September 1, 1914.24. In the 18th and early 19th 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 whip gets all of the attention, but it’s mostly for show. In reality, it’s the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair in 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 best, 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 can’t 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? A. To show off his skills.B. To trick the lion.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 changed.D. They have to do something for show.30. What is the author’s attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. TolerantB. DoubtfulC. RespectfulD. Supportive31.

You just need to get started."及"Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people"可知，当你面前挥舞着一把椅子时，你要集中精力做一件事，那就是开始下决心去做．成功的人的习惯之一就是在感觉准备好之前就开始行动，文中的"take immediate action"与"make a quick decision"同义．故选C．【点评】解答细节理解题时，一个常用的方法就是运用定位法，即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子，与选项进行比较从而确定答案；推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思，又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断，力求从作者的角度去考虑，不要固守自己的看法或观点．DAs 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 Educational, 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 Center, 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 Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans 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, tap 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 such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the youngers.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 languageB. rescue disappearing languagesC. search for language communitiesD. set up language research organizations33. What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Having full records of the languages.B. Writing books on language teaching.C. Telling stories about language users.D.

AOne morning, Ann’s neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school. She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog. Ann said that she could watch it only for the day.Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers（传单, and put them in mailboxes. Meanwhile,Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog. At the time, Ann’s son Thomas was 10 years old, and Jack, who was recovering from a heart operation, was 21 years old.Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog, whom they had started to call Riley. When she arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys’ room where Ann found Jack suffering from a heart attack. Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent.―If it hadn’t come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died,‖ Ann reported to a local newspaper.

His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift— $7,000, a legacy (遗产) form their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. ―It really made a difference when we were going under financially,‖ says Dave.But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were touche d by the Ha tches’ generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in others, i t was more than $100,000.It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of th e family farm.Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit ofsaving. They thrived on (喜欢) comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase .Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp wh en their parents couldn’t afford it. ―Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything ,‖ says their friend Sandy Van Weelden, ―They could see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed. It was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy—a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents —should enrich the whole community (社区) and last for generations to come.Neighbors helping neighbors—that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story.56.

But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan.Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and—most important —sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice.Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater. Mr. Bellow,did not mind if you did.That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice,trying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.We’d already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr.Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again,twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke.Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart’s dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They’re really memories of the screen,not memories of my life.46.In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner?A. 1952B. 1962C. 1972D. 198247.What does the underlined word‖It‖ in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.

At the age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholders. She became known as ―Mumbet‖ or ―Mum Bett.‖For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family. One day, Ashley’s wife tried to strike Mumbet’s sister with a spade. Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. Furious, she left the house and refused to come back. When the Ashleys tried to make her return, Mumbet consulted a lawyer, Theodore Sedgewick. With his help, Mumbet sued(起诉) for her freedom.While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution. If the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then she thought it should apply to her. Eventually, Mumbet won her freedom---- the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new consititution.Strangely enough, after the trial, the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee. She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick. Mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔). One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B. Du Bois, one of the founder of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights.Mumbet’s tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried.

An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your performance on your phone.The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don’t forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure you’re brushing long enough. ―It’s kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,‖ says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush.You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. ―We try to make it smart but also fun,‖ Several says.Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said ―yes,‖ but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, for $99 to $199, developing on features. The U.S. is the first target market.Serval says that one day, it’ll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera.

They sleep beside cows and sh eep in huts made of sticks and mud. They have no school. Yet they all can chant the E nglish alphabet, and some can make words.The key to their success: 20 tablet computers(平板电脑) dropped off in their Ethiopian village in February by a U.S. group called One Laptop Per Child.The goal is to find out whether kids using today’s new technology can teachthemselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist. The MassachusettsInstitute of Technology researchers analyzing the project data say they’re already amazed. ―What I think has already happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of kindergarten,‖ said Matt Keller, who runsthe Ethiopia program.The fastest learner—and the first to turn on one of the tablets—is 8-year-old Kelbesa Negusse. The device’s camera was disabled to save memory, yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its workings and made the camera work. He called himselfa lion, a marker of accomplishment in Ethiopia.With his tablet, Kelbasa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many Englishanimal names he knows. Then he spelled words on his own. ―Seven months ago he didn’t know any English. That’s unbelievable,‖ said Keller.The project aims to get kids to a stage called ―deep reading,‖ where they can read to learn. It won’t be in Amharic, Ethiopia’s first language, but in English, which is widely seen as the ticket to higher paying jobs.62. How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village?A.

What is the aim of the project?A. To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs.B. To make Amharic widely used in the world.C. To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English.D. To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language.第II卷（共45分）第三部分书面表达（共两节，满分45分）请把答案填在答题卡的规定位置。
