2014年普通高校招生全国统一考试英语第Ⅰ卷第一部分阅读理解第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AArriving in Sydney on his own India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶) that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign address on most of the documents. At last they had seen a halt-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored out faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often senda warm wish their way.1.What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A.Go shoppingB.Find a houseC.Join his familyD.Take a vacation2.The girl’s family got Rashid’s phone number from________.A.a friend of his familyB. a Sydney policemanC. a letter in his papersD.a stranger in Sydney3.What does the underlined word”restored” in the last paragraph mean?A.ShowedB.Sent outC.DeliveredD.Gave back4.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A.From India to AustraliaB.Living in a New CountryC.Turning Trash to TreasureD.In Search of New FriendsBSince the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment..“We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Ander son, president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement. Business people, politics leaders, university professions, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the move ment. “The understanding has increased many, many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day.According to US government reports, emissions(排放) from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year 5.5 million tons. The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9. although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind if “thinking” has become part of practices.Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.Twenty-five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, it’s hard to find a public school, university that does not have such a kind of program. “Until we do that, nothing else will change! ” says Bruce Anderson.5.According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about ______.A.the social movementB.recycling techniquesC.environmental problemsD.the importance of Earth Day6.Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A.The grass-rootsB.The business circlesernment officialsD.University professors7.What have Americans achieved in environment protection?A.They have cut car emissions to the lowest.B.They have settled their environment problems.C.They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.D.They have reduced pollution through effective measures.8.What is especially important for environmental protection according to theparagraph？cationB.PlanningC.Green livingD.CO reductionCOne of the latest trends in American childcare is Chinese au paris. Au Pair in STAMFORD, Conn, for example, has got increasing numbers of requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to 4,000 since 2004. And that’s true all across the country.“I thought it would be very useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age,” Joseph Stocke, the managing director of a company, says of his 2-year-old son.”I would at least like to hive him the chance to use the language i n the future.’ After only six months of being cared for by a 25-year-old woman from china, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking an au pair from china: she didn’t want her children to miss out on their roots. “because I am a Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to 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 learning until the age of 10 or 12.”The popularity of au pairs from china has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents 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 the term”au pair”in the text mean?A.A mother raising her children on her ownB. A child learning a foreign language at homeC. A professor in language education of childrenD.D.A young foreign woman taking care of children10.Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them____A.To live in china some dayB.To speak the language at homeC.To catch up with other childrenD.To learn about the Chinese culture11.What can we learn from the text?A.Learning Chinese is becoming popular in Americacated women do better in looking after childrenC.Chinese au pairs need to improve their English skillsD.Children can learn a foreign language well in six monthsDMetro Pocket GuideMetrorail(地铁)Each passenger need a farecard to enter and go out.

高中英语真题-2014高考英语完形填空、阅读理解精品系列(12)含答案
高中英语真题:2014高考英语完形填空、阅读理解精品系列（12）含答案AThe Child Ego StateThe Child ego state is a set of behaviors, thoughts and feelings which are replayed from our own childhood.Perhaps the boss calls us into his or her office, we may immedi ately get a churning in our stomach and wonder what we have done wrong. If this were explored we might remember the time t he head teacher called us in to tell us off. Of course, not everyt hing in the Child ego state is negative. We might go into someo ne’s house and smell a lovely smell and remember our grandm other’s house when we were little, and all the same warm feelin gs we had at six years of age may come flooding back.The Child ego states are constantly being updated. For exampl e, we may meet someone who gives us the permission we nee ded as a child, and did not get, to be fun and joyous. We may w ell use that person in our imagination when we are stressed to r esist our old ways of thinking that we must work longer and longer hours to keep up with everything. We might ask ourselves “I wonder what X would say now.” Then on hearing the new perm issions to relax and take some time out, do just that and then re turn to the work renewed and ready for the challenge. Afterward s, rather than blaming ourselves for what we did or did not do, what tends to happen is that we automatically start to give ours elves new permissions and take care of ourselves. Alternatively, we might have had an extremely unpleasant expe rience yesterday which goes into the Child ego state as an anti que memory that stands in the way of our growth. Positive expe riences will also go into the Child ego state as antique memorie s. The positive experiences can then be drawn on to remind us that positive things do happen.The process of analyzing personality in terms of ego states is c alled structural analysis. It is important to remember that ego st ates do not have an existence of their own. They are concepts t o enable understanding. Therefore it is important to say “I want some fun” rather than “My Child wants some fun.” We may be i n our Child ego state when we say this, but saying “I” reminds u s to take responsibility for our actions.1. The writer uses two examples in Paragraph 2 in order to ____ _.A. support the idea in Paragraph 1B. explain whywe become nervousC. prove the Child ego state is negativeD. introduce the point of Paragraph 32. By asking “I wonder what X would say now”, we intend to ___ _______.A. blame ourselvesB. accept challengesC. keep up with everythingD. avoid stress3. According to the passage, the Child ego state __________.A. shows one’s wisdomB. influences on e’s actionsC. limits one’s thoughtsD. exists in one’s childho od4. The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to ___ _______.A. structural analysisB. “My Child wants some fu n”C. the Child ego stateD. “I want some fun”*************************BThe Cave Crawler mining robotWhy do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world? It’s an increasingly urgent question,given the recent high-profile(引人注目的)mining accidents in Sago, W. Va., and Huntington, Utah.A small group of engineers and robotics experts envision(展望)a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mini ng work..One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Carnegie-Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. It was called Groundhog and it looked like a golf cart. It used lasers to “see” in dark tunn els and ma p abandoned mines—some of the most dangerous work in the business.The latest prototype is called Cave Crawler. It’s a bit smaller tha n Groundhog, and even more advanced. It can take photos and video and has sensors mounted that can detect the presence o f dangerous gases. Incredibly, the robot has a real sense of logi c. If it comes across an obstacle it gets momentarily confused, i t has to t hink through the process and where to go next, and sometimes it throws a fit just lik e a real person.The biggest obstacle, though, is cost. The original research proj ect was federally funded, but that money has dried up, and it’s not clear where future funding will come from. Partly for that rea son, and partly because of advances in safety, mining is not ne arly as dangerous as it was in the past. Since 1990, fatalities ha ve declined by 67 percent, and injuries by 51 percent, accordin g to the National Mining Association.Someexperts predict that robots in mines will serve much of the s ame function that they do in the automotive industry. The robots do the most repetitive and dangerous jobs, but don’t eliminate t he need for human workers.5.The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog mainly because .A. it can map abandoned minesB. the robot has a r eal sense of logicC. it can see in the dark tunnelD. it’s a b it smaller than Groundhog6.We can infer from the last paragraph that .A. the mine robots will have a very bright futureB. robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industryC. there will be no need for human workers in minesD. robots in mines have a long way to go7. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. High-profile mining acci dents in America.B. The development of robot.C. Could robots replac e humans in mines?D. Cave Crawler, the latest robot.参考答案 1---4. ADBD 5---7. BAC9（参考答案 BADA）MUMBAI, India —The children in their party clothes on the stage were very excite d when they received the award. And the two of them said, "It’s unbelievable!"Nine-year-old Rubina Ali, and Azharuddin Ismail, 10, were living a very diff erent life and apparently loving every minute of it. The two, som e of the child stars of the Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire (《贫民窟的百万富翁》)movie, know the Indian slums very well. That was where t hey grew up, and it is where they will return at the end of their H ollywood dream trip.But before going back home, there was an interview with the ho st, Ryan Seacrest. During the interview they smiled and repeate d their disbelief at what was happening to them. To their surpris e, their movie won the first place in the Oscars. When the two r eceived the award, it was late morning in the children’s home ci ty of Mumbai, where their family, friends and many fellow reside nts of the slums watched the results from Hollywood."I don’t really know what the Oscars are," Rubina’s mother said. "I’m just glad my daughter looks happy, though she told me sh e missed Indian food.""Our children lead a dog’s life," Rubina’s mother said, pointing a t the rubbish everywhere, the open drains (下水道) and the lack of education opportunities.In a few days they will be back in Mumbai and back in the slum s. Fortunately, according to media reports, the movie’s director, Danny Boyle, has promised to help the children he chose from t he slums go to a proper school.The two don’t need to worry about their daily lives because of th e Oscar success of Slumdog Millionaire. But the poverty and la ck of education opportunities —the central theme of the movie —is always all around.1. Which of the following is true about the two children?A. They played a major role in getting India children to receive e ducation.B. They were both excited about receiving the award.C. They were interviewed after they went back home.D. They were the only two child winners of the movie.2. When the children attended the Oscar ceremony in Hollywoo d, their family and friends were _________.A. watching TV in MumbaiB. doing what they did as us ualC. seeing the movie Slumdog MillionaireD. having a family pa rty3. What will happen to the two children after they return to India ?A. They will stay at home as before.B. They will still worry about their daily lives.C. They will leave school to learn acting.D. They will have a better education.4、 The movie is successful mainly because________.A. it attracts the public attention to an existing social problemB. it has made the two children famousC. the two children will go to a better schoolD. the two children stars in the movie are from India slumsIn-line skating（滚轴溜冰）is a fun sport that everyone can enjoy. Follow these safety tips t o keep skating safe and fun.Step 1: Gear up!Even before you put on your skates, put on all your safety gear （护具）.Step 2: Buckle up!Strap（绑紧）on your skates. Make sure they fit well and are snugly（紧贴）around your ankles. This helps your ankles stay strong and stra ight.Step 3: Fall down!You probably do not usually try to fall. But it is good to practice f alling on skates. Fall forward onto your knee pads. Put out your hands and let your wrist guards hit the ground. See? Are you su rprised that it doesn’t hurt?Practice falling until it is easy to fall forward and get up again. If you are not afraid to fall, you will try new things. Knowing how t o fall will help you be a better skater and find your balance. Wh en you can stay balanced, you won’t fall as much.Step 4: Stop!Make sure you can stop on your skates. The quickest and safes t is probably the brake stop. The brake is usually on the back of the right skate.The brake stop:Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Let your ri ght skate roll a little forward. Bend your knees as if you are sitti ng down. Then press your right heel down hard. This will make your brake pad drag on the ground until you stop.The T stop:Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Then turn your right foot out so the toes are pointing to your right. Drag yo ur right skate. Let the wheels drag on the ground until you come to a stop.Another way to stop is to run or jump onto the grass.Step 5: Roll around!Find a flat, smooth place to practice. Do not skate in streets. Pa rks and playgrounds are good places to practice. Look for “No skating” signs to make sure you can skate there.64. According to the article, which of these steps are most impo rtant for a new skater?A. Learn to fall and stop safely.B. Find a class an d skate fast.C. Relax and have fun.D. Buy expensive gear and skates.65. In the step right after “Buckle up!” you should practice how t o _____________.A. skate fastB. brakeC. fall safelyD. put on gear66.

The story can date back to a hunting trip that President Roos evelt had taken where he was invited to be the one to shoot a bl ack bear that had been tied to a tree. Being a crazy outdoors lo ver and hunter, Roosevelt refused to kill the animal because he believed that shooting the helpless bear was unsportsmanlike a nd wrong. This story quickly spread through newspapers across the country, and in the end inspired the introduction of a stuffed toy called “Teddy’s bear”.These toys became popular soon after first introduced, and within ten years, they were being produced by dozens of companie s around the world. Within a generation, these stuffed bears we re “the” toy to have, and have always been within children’s toy boxes ever since.They are most often mass-produced in factories in order to keep up with the high demand. However, there are still companies that take great pride in their handmade designs; and while handmade teddy bears are often preferred, they are also generally more expensive than their m ass-produced ones.Today, these bears and other similar toys generate well over a billion dollars a year in profits for the companies that make the m. Walk through just about any toy store in America and you wil l find dozens of different teddy bears lining the shelves.68.

Profits Teddy Bear have made.The World Health Organization says obesity rates are rising in Pacific island countries. So, too, are health problems linked to b eing overweight.The WHO says a major reason for the rising obesity rates is an increase in imported foods. It says many Pacific islanders have replaced their traditional diets of vegetables and fruits with imported processed foods.Dr.Temu Waqanivalu is with the World Health Organization’s S outh Pacific office in Suva, Fiji.He says many of the imported pr oducts lack nutritional value.Temu Waqanivalu said: “In some of the places, you’d be amaze d to see how a bottle of Coke is cheaper than a bottle of water.I think that represents the kind of offenvironment we’ve created that doesn’t really encourage or make lifestyle choices an easy choice for the population.”And a lack of physical activity among many Pacific islanders onl y adds to the obesity problem.The WHO says more than 50 percent of the population is overw eight in at least ten Pacific island countries. The rate is as high as 80 percent among women in the territory（领地）of American Samoa. Fiji had the lowest obesity rate at 30 perce nt.In all, almost ten million people live in Pacific island countries. T he WHO estimates that about 40 percent of them have health di sorders related to diet and nutrition.Diabetes（糖尿病）rates are among the highest in the world. Forty-seven percent of the people in American Samoa have diabetes. So do 44 percent of the people in Tokelau, a territory of New Zealand.By comparison, the diabetes rate is 13 percent in the United St ates, a country that has its own problems with rising obesity. Officials also note an increase in nutritional problems like anemi a and not enough vitamin A in the diets of Pacific islanders. Dr. Waqanivalu says treating conditions related to obesity and diet puts pressure on limited health resources and budgets.72. The main reason why obesity rates are rising in many Pacific islanders is ________.A. the change of societyB. the change of eating habitsC. the change of life styleD. lack of exercise73. Imported products lack nutritional value but people love to b uy them because they are ____.A. cheapB. popularC. tastyD. convenient to get74. How many people living in Pacific island countries have hea lth disorders?A. 1 million.B. 4 million.C. 6 million.D. 10 million.75. The percentage of diabetes rates in American Samoa is ___ _____.A. optimisticB. steadyC. worryingD. low参考答案2014高考英语完形填空、阅读理解精品系列（12）含答案AThe Child Ego StateThe Child ego state is a set of behaviors, thoughts and feelings which are replayed from our ow n childhood.Perhaps the boss calls us into his or her office, we may immediately get a churning in our stoma ch and wonder what we have done wrong. If this were explored we might remember the time th e head teacher called us in to tell us off. Of course, not everything in the Child ego state is nega tive. We might go into someone’s house and smell a lovely smell and remember our grandmoth er’s house when we were little, and all the same warm feelings we had at six years of age may come flooding back.The Child ego states are constantly being updated. For example, we may meet someone who g ives us the permission we needed as a child, and did not get, to be fun and joyous. We may well use that person in our imagination when we are stressed to resist our old ways of thinking that we must work longer and longer hours to keep up with everything. We might ask ourselves “I w onder what X would say now.” Then on hearing the new permissions to relax and take some tim e out, do just that and then return to the work renewed and ready for the challenge. Afterwards, rather than blaming ourselves for what we did or did not do, what tends to happen is that we aut omatically start to give ourselves new permissions and take care of ourselves.Alternatively, we might have had an extremely unpleasant experience yesterday which goes int o the Child ego state as an antique memory that stands in the way of our growth. Positive exper iences will also go into the Child ego state as antique memories. The positive experiences can t hen be drawn on to remind us that positive things do happen.The process of analyzing personality in terms of ego states is called structural analysis. It is imp ortant to remember that ego states do not have an existence of their own. They are concepts to enable understanding. Therefore it is important to say “I want some fun” rather than “My Child w ants some fun.” We may be in our Child ego state when we say this, but saying “I” reminds us t o take responsibility for our actions.1. The writer uses two examples in Paragraph 2 in order to _____.A. support the idea in Paragraph 1B. explain why we become nervousC. prove the Child ego state is negativeD. introduce the point of Paragraph 32. By asking “I wonder what X would say now”, we intend to __________.A. blame ourselvesB. accept challengesC. keep up with everythingD. avoid stress3. According to the passage, the Child ego state __________.A. shows one’s wisdomB. influences one’s actionsC. limits one’s thoughtsD. exists in one’s childhood4. The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to __________.A. structural analysisB. “My Child wants some fun”C. the Child ego stateD. “I want some fun”*************************BThe Cave Crawler mining robotWhy do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world? It’s an increasingly urgent question,given the recent high-profile(引人注目的)mining accidents in Sago, W. Va., and Huntin gton, Utah. A small group of engineers and robotics experts envision(展望)a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other tec hnology do most of the dangerous mini ng work..One of the first mining r obots was developed five years ago at Carnegie-Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. It was called Groundhog and it looked like a golf cart. It used lasers to “see” in dark tunnels and ma p abandoned mines—some of the most dangerous work in the business.The latest prototype is called Cave Crawler. It’s a bit smaller than Groundhog, and even more a dvanced. It can take photos and video and has sensors mounted that can detect the presence o f dangerous gases. Incredibly, the robot has a real sense of logic. If it comes across an obstacleit gets momentarily confused, it has to t hink through the process and where to go next, and sometimes it throws a fit just like a real person.The biggest obstacle, though, is cost. The original research project was federally funded, but th at money has dried up, and it’s not clear where future funding will come from. Partly for that rea son, and partly because of advances in safety, mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in th e past. Since 1990, fatalities have declined by 67 percent, and injuries by 51 percent, according to the National Mining Association.Someexperts predict that robots in mines will serve much of the same function that they do in th e automotive industry. The robots do the most repetitive and dangerous jobs, but don’t eliminate the need for human workers.5.The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog mai nly because .A. it can map abandoned minesB. the robot has a r eal sense of logicC. it can see in the dark tunnelD. it’s a b it smaller than Groundhog6.We can infer from the last paragraph that .A. the mine robots will have a very bright futureB. robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industryC. there will be no need for human workers in minesD. robots in mines have a long way to go7. Which of the follow ing can be the best title of this passage?A. High-profile mining acci dents in America.B. The development of robot.C. Could robots replac e humans in mines?D. Cave Crawler, the latest robot.参考答案 1---4. ADBD 5---7. BAC9（参考答案 BADA）MUMBAI, India —The children in their party clothes on the stage were very excited when they received the award. And the two of them said, "It’s unbelievable!"Nine-year-old Rubina Ali, and Azharuddin Ismail, 10, were living a very different life and apparently loving every minute of it. The two, some of the child stars of the Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire (《贫民窟的百万富翁》)movie, know the Indian slums very well. That was where they grew up, and it is where they will return at the end of their Hollywood dream trip.But before going back home, there was an interview with the host, Ryan Seacrest. During the in terview they smiled and repeated their disbelief at what was happening to them. To their surpris e, their movie won the first place in the Oscars. When the two received the award, it was late m orning in the children’s home city of Mumbai, where their family, friends and many fellow reside nts of the slums watched the results from Hollywood."I don’t really know what the Oscars are," Rubina’s mother said. "I’m just glad my daughter looks happy, though she told me she missed Indian food.""Our children lead a dog’s life," Rubina’s mother said, pointing at the rubbish everywhere, the o pen drains (下水道) and the lack of education opportunities.In a few days they will be back in Mumbai and back in the slums. Fortunately, according to medi a reports, the movie’s director, Danny Boyle, has promised to help the children he chose from th e slums go to a proper school.The two don’t need to worry about their daily lives because of the Oscar success of Slumdog Mi llionaire. But the poverty and lack of education opportunities —the central theme of the movie —is always all around.1. Which of the following is true about the two children?A. They played a major role in getting India children to receive education.B. They were both excited about receiving the award.C. They were interviewed after they went back home.D. They were the only two child winners of the movie.2.

What will happen to the two children after they return to India?A. They will stay at home as before.B. They will still worry about their daily lives.C. They will leave school to learn acting.D. They will have a better education.4、 The movie is successful mainly because________.A. it attracts the public attention to an existing social problemB. it has made the two children famousC. the two children will go to a better schoolD. the two children stars in the movie are from India slumsIn-line skating（滚轴溜冰）is a fun sport that everyone can enjoy. Follow these safety tips to keep skating safe and fun. Step 1: Gear up!Even before you put on your skates, put on all your safety gear（护具）.Step 2: Buckle up!Strap（绑紧）on your skates. Make sure they fit well and are snugly（紧贴）around your ankles. This helps your ankles stay strong and straight.Step 3: Fall down!You probably do not usually try to fall. But it is good to practice falling on skates. Fall forward on to your knee pads. Put out your hands and let your wrist guards hit the ground. See? Are you su rprised that it doesn’t hurt?Practice falling until it is easy to fall forward and get up again. If you are not afraid to fall, you wil l try new things. Knowing how to fall will help you be a better skater and find your balance. Whe n you can stay balanced, you won’t fall as much.Step 4: Stop!Make sure you can stop on your skates. The quickest and safest is probably the brake stop. Th e brake is usually on the back of the right skate.The brake stop:Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Let your right skate roll a little forward. Be nd your knees as if you are sitting down. Then press your right heel down hard. This will make y our brake pad drag on the ground until you stop.The T stop:Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Then turn your right foot out so the toes ar e pointing to your right. Drag your right skate. Let the wheels drag on the ground until you come to a stop.Another way to stop is to run or jump onto the grass.Step 5: Roll around!Find a flat, smooth place to practice. Do not skate in streets. Parks and playgrounds are good pl aces to practice. Look for “No skating” signs to make sure you can skate there.64. According to the article, which of these steps are most important for a new skater?A. Learn to fall and stop safely.B. Find a class and skate fast.C. Relax and have fun.D. Buy expensive gear and skates.65. In the step right after “Buckle up!” you should practice how to _____________.A. skate fastB. brakeC. fall safelyD. put on gear66. To begin a brake stop, you should let your right skate roll forward, bend your knees, and ___ .A. turn your footB. press your right heel downC. put your wrists out in frontD. tighten your skates67. How is the passage organized?A. It tells stories about skating.B. It gives descriptions of skates.C. It uses a question-and-answer form.D.

高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（答案及解析）Words：322难度系数：★★建议用时：8分钟If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong.Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power.Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter.This is the area of the brain which processes information.It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr.Andrea Mechelli，from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English.They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度)in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language，” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales，has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills.“Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible，”he said.“You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34.Reading，writing, and comprehension were all tested.The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better.“Studying a language means you getan entrance to another world，” explained the scientists.5．The main subject talked about in this passage is________.A．science on learning a second languageB．man’s ability of learning a second languageC．language can help brain powerD．language learning and maths study解析：选C。

Readers thus are able to gain a clear understanding of how the then central g overnment succeeded in handling those issues.” (From China D aily)56.

They can find missing people and things like bombs and illegal drugs. Now a study su ggests that the animal known as man’s best friend can even fin d bladder （膀胱）cancer.Cancer cells are thought to produce chemicals with unusual sm ell. Researchers think dogs have the ability to smell these smell s, even in very small amounts, in urine（尿液）. The sense of smell in dogs is thousands of times better than that in humans.The study follows reports of cases where, for example, a dog s howed great interest in a growth on the leg of its owner. The ma n was later found to be skin cancer.Carolyn Willis led a team of researchers at Amersham Hospital in England. They trained different kinds of dogs for the experim ent. The study involved urine collected from bladder cancer pati ents, from people with other diseases and from healthy people.Each dog was tested 8 times. In each test there were 7 sample s for the dogs to smell. The dog should signal the one from a bl adder cancer patient by lying down next to it. Two cocker（一种猎犬） dogs were correct 56 percent of the time. But the scientist s reported an average success rate of 41 percent.The British Medical Journal published the research. In all, 36 bl adder cancer patients and 108 other people took part. During tr aining, all the dogs reportedly even identified（认出）a cancer in a person who had tested healthy before the study. Doctors found a growth on the person’s right kidney（肾）.Carolyn Willis says dogs could help scientists identify the combi ned chemicals produced by bladder cancer. That information co uld then be used to develop machines to test for the chemicals. The team also plans to use dogs to help identify markers for oth er kinds of cancer.64. What’s the general idea of the text?A. Dogs have a good sense of smellB. Dogs can help cure cancerC. Dogs can smell cancerD. Dogs help perform experiments65. According to the text, people who suffer bladder cancer____ _A. often have urine with unusual smellB. probably smoke cigarettes in their lifeC. can easily make dogs lie downD. are likely to die within nine years66.

Dogs can only smell bladder cancer.B. Dogs have a good knowledge of cancer.C. Scientists might invent some equipment to test cancer.D.

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 Paragraph3?A.TolerantB.DoubtfulC.RespectfulD.Supportive31.When the world is“waving a chair in your face”,you’re advised to.A.wait for a better chanceB.break your old habitsC.make a quick decisionD.ask for clear guidanceDAs more and more people speak the global languages of English,Chinese,Spanish,and Arabic,other languages are rapidly disappearing.In fact,half of the6,000-7,000languages 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 Paragraph3refer to?A.Having full records of the languages.B.Writing books on language teaching.C.Telling stories about language users.D.Living with the native speakers.34.What is Turin’s book based on?A.The cultural studies in India.B.The documents available at Yale.C.His language research in Bhutan.D.His personal experience in Nepal.35.Which of the following best describes Turin’s work?A.Write,sell and donate.B.Record,repair and reward.C.Design,experiment and report.D.Collect,protect and reconnect.第二节（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

高中英语真题:2014高考英语完形填空、阅读理解训练题（13）及答案阅读理解While some scientists overlook the existence of a sixth sense f or danger, a new research from Washington University in St. Lo uis has identified a brain area that clearly acts as an early warni ng system and helps us adjust our behavior to avoid dangerous situations."Our brains are better at picking up not obvious warning signs than we previously thought," said Joshua Brown, PhD, a resear ch associate in psychology in the Feb. 18 issue of the journal S cience.The findings offer exact scientific evidence for a new way to f orm a concept of the complex control processes taking place in and around the ACC, a brain area located near the top of the fr ontal lobes(耳垂) and along the walls that divide the left and right hemisphere s(大脑半球)."In the past, we found activity in the ACC when people had to make a difficult decision, or after they make a mistake," Brownsaid. "But now we find that this brain area can actually learn to r ecognize when you might make a mistake, even before a difficu lt decision has to be made. So the ACC appears to act as an ea rly warning system—— it learns to warn us in advance when our behavior might lead to a negative outcome, so that we can be more careful and avo id making a mistake."By providing a clearer picture of the cognitive mechanisms(认知结构) by which we self monitor and control our behavior, the study is an important step in efforts to develop more effective treatme nts for mental illnesses. It also provides a new way of understa nding inappropriate behaviors that often accompany mental illn esses."Our results suggest how injury of the ACC mechanisms can l ead to breakdowns in the early warning system, so that the brain fails to stop or control inappropriate behavior ahead of time," said Brown. "On the other hand, in those persons with m ental disorder, the ACC might warn of an upcoming problem ev en when no problem is in the existence."Known to be an important part of the brain's control system, t he ACC is believed to help adjust between cold, hard, fact-based reasoning and emotional responses, such as love, fear or expectation.68. According to the passage, the ACC____________.A. refers to the sixth sense for dangerB. deals with obv ious warning situationsC. connects the left and right hemispheresD. sends war ning messages in advance69. The new research is beneficial because it ________ .A. provides a new way of avoiding mistakesB. adjusts emotional responses in time of dangerC. helps find better treatments for mental illnessesD. assists people in predicting and avoiding danger70. The new research helps us understand _________.A. why we are likely to make mistakes when the ACC is badly i njuredB. why people with mental illnesses usually have so many stran ge behaviorsC. how the ACC works when something dangerous happensD. how our brain warns us of failure in advance参考答案68-70 DCA阅读理解Read these unusual news articles.1.Tom Smith has been banned from the bedroom by fed-up wife Mary: She gave him his marching orders after Tom had been hiccupping(打嗝) none for seven days.
