2014浙江省绍兴县高考英语阅读理解选练（2）及答案【辽宁省葫芦岛市2014一模试题】Dear Mr. King,I’m Bob Watson, one of the customers in your grocery store. I’m writing to express my idea about your goods.Your Supermart is outstanding in many ways. First I enjoy the selection of produce and fresh bakery items. Secondyour low prices and excellent customer service keep me coming back to Supermart. I have found, however, that I must make a separate shopping trip to one of your competitors because there are many items your store does not carry. This becomes inconvenient for me, as my time is valuable, and I don’t like to make two trips. I have been a long time Supermart shopper and hope to continue for many years. If I could find all the items I need in one place, I would be a more satisfied customer.Specifically, I have never been able to purchase nacho cheese soup at your store. I can find other flavors (味道) of soup, but your store does not carry nacho cheese soup, a common ingredient (原料) in many of my recipes. In addition, I can only find large wonton wrappers, while many other stores carry both large and small and offer a more varied selection for their customers. Another example is Regent Brand Chili Seasoning. Though it is not a leading brand, it is still common on the shelves of other grocery stores in this area and is superior in flavor to its competitors.I sincerely hope to continue a relationship with your store, and I hope that you will consider the possibility of expanding your goods to be more competitive.Yours truly,Bob Watson25.

According to Bob, the grocery store ________.A.offers good customer serviceB. is outstanding in every wayC.meets all his needsD. lacks convenient transportation【参考答案】25—27 BDAAI think it was my mother who taught me the meaning of honesty. Not because she actually was honest, but because she lied all the time. She felt that the easiest way out of any given situation was ge nerally the best way out. And, for her, that generally meant telling a “little white lie.” As a young child I thought it was kind of cool. And, naturally, when I would come to her with a concern or question wondering what I should do, she generally advised me to lie.“Mom, I told Theresa that I would go over to her house, but now I would rather go to Sue’s house to play.”“Tell Theresa you’re sick,” she would advise. And generally I did. But I didn’t seem blessed with her lack of conscience. On many painful occasions Theresa would find out that I really went to Sue’s house without her. These occasions taught me that it is more painful to be caught in a lie than it is to tell the truth in the first place. I wondered how it was possible that my mother had never learned that lesson.I started thinking of all the lies that I’d heard her tell. I remembered the time she told someone that her favorite restaurant had closed, because she didn’t want to see them there anymore. Or the time she told Dad that she loved the lawn-mower he gave her for her birthday. Or when she claimed that our phone lines had been down when she was trying to explain why she hadn’t been in touch with a friend of hers for weeks. And what bothered me even more were all the times she had involved me into her lies. Like the time she told my guidance counselor that I had to miss school for exploratory surgery, when she really needed me to babysit. And it even started to bother me when someone would call for her and she would ask me to tell them tha t she wasn’t there.So, I started my own personal fight against her dishonesty. When I answered the phone and it was someone my mother didn’t want to talk to, I said, “Louise, mom is here, but she doesn’t wantto talk to you.” The first time I did it, she punished me, but I refused to apologize. I told her that I had decided that it was wrong to lie. And the next time it happened I did the same thing. Finally, she approached me and said, “I agree that lying is not the best thing to do, but we need to find a way to be honest without being rude.” She admitted that her methods weren’t right, and I admitted that mine were a bit too extreme.Over the past few years, the two of us have worked together to be honest—and yet kind. Honesty should mean more than not lying. It should mean speaking the truth in kindness. Though I started by trying to teach my mom the importance of honesty, I ended up gaining a deeper understanding of the meaning of the term.1. The author’s mother __________.A. thought white lies were not liesB. helped the author get out of trouble with white liesC. told the author to lie when in troubleD. taught the author the importance of being honest2.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.【湖南省怀化市2014高考英语一模试题】AIt is generally believed that we are getting cleaned when we step under a shower. We are, but we’re also giving a home to lots of tiny little creatures we didn’t even know about. A showerhead carries thousands of bacteria called Mycobacterium．These can cause problems like coughs and tiredness, and a general feeling of poorliness (身体不舒服). When you turn on the water, the bacteria go from the showerhead onto and into your body.This is a finding of Norman R. Pace and his team at the University of Colorado, in the US. The scientists investigated bacteria in all kinds of human environment, including showers．Pace's team looked at 45 showerheads in nine American cities. They discovered that 30 percent of them had large amounts of flying Mycobacterium.But Pace said that they pose few threats to the health．Only those with a weak immune system might need to worry．He told the New York Times that the bacteria are not as unpleasant as might be thought．He said that having a shower is no more dangerous than anything else we do in the morning．But for those who feel sick about the idea of all those microorganisms (微生物), he had some advice. Let the water run for 30 seconds before getting into the shower. Why? The number of bacteria is smaller than that when the water is just turned on. If that seems like a waste of water, he added that you could also change your showerhead every few months.However, Pace had good news too. He has also been testing the air in US subways. Apart from iron particles (粒子), which are ground off the track by the wheels of trains, subway air is fresh. The reason is that a train’s movement pumps fresh outdoor air into the tunnels.Pace explained that he wanted to understand the natural microbial environments of public places. This kind of knowledge might help discover the microbes to be used in a bioterrorist (生物恐怖分子) attack.【小题1】From the finding of Norman R. Pace, after taking a shower, we might cough or feel tired because .A. it’s easy to get a cold when taking a bathB. the showerhead carries many bacteria causing illnessC. we don’t get cleaned while showeringD. we don’t get a weak immune system【小题2】According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A.

Changing showerheads is the only way to avoid microorganisms.D. Shower water contains much less bacteria after being left to run for 30 seconds.【小题3】We can learn from the third paragraph that .A. having a shower in the morning is more dangerous than at other timeB. the bacteria always threat people’s healthC. there is no reason to fear microorganisms for people with strong immune systemD. it is better to do some exercise in the morning than have a shower【小题4】The underlined word “pose” in the third paragraph probably means “______”．A. causeB. avoidC. describeD. promise【小题5】What contributes to fresh air in US subways?A.

While it is generally taken as an indicator of their marital（婚姻的）status, the practice is primarily related to the Hindu （印度教的）religion. The dot goes by different names in differen t Hindi dialects, and “bindi” is the one that is most commonly known.Traditionally, the dot carries no gender restriction:Men as well as women wear it. However, the tradition of men wearing it has faded in recent times, so nowadays we see a lot more women than men wearing one.The position of the bindi is standard: center of the forehead, close to the eyebrows. It represents a third, or inner eye. Hindu tradition holds that all people have three eyes: The two outer ones are used for seeing the outside world, and the third one is there to focus inward toward God. As such, the dot means piety（虔诚）and serves as a constant reminder to keep God in the front of a believer’s thoughts.Red is the traditional color of the dot. It is said that in ancient times a man would place a drop of blood between his wife’s eyes to seal their marriage. According to Hindu beliefs, the color red is believed to bring good fortune to the married couple. Today, people go with different colors depending upon their preferences. Women often wear dots that match the color of their clothes. Decorative of sticker bindis come in all sizes, colors and variations, and can be worn by young and old, married and unmarried people alike. Wearing a bindi has become more of a fashion statement than a religious custom.28. Why did people in India start wearing a red dot on their forehead?A. To stress their family background.B. To indicate their social rank.C. To show their religious belief.D. To display their financial status.29. What is the function of the third eye in Hindu tradition?A. To help the other eyes see better.B. To look to the distance.C. To see the outside world.D. To pay respect to God.30. Why was red chosen as the original color of the bindi?A. The word “bindi”means “red”in some Hindi dialects.B. Red was believed to be a lucky color for husband and wife.C. The red dot represented the blood of God.D.
