青岛市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（18）（答案及解析）Words：327 难度系数：★★★建议用时：9分钟When one thinks of the expansion of the American West，the event most likely to come to mind is the California Gold Rush of 1849.However，there remained wide land between the Pacific Coast and，say，St.Louis，Missouri.Why mentions.St.Louis? You might be asking.Because the young United States started exploring the vast land mass to the west from that very point and almost fifty years before those gold nuggets started hitting the pan in California.In 1803 President Thomas Jefferson sent a secret message to Congress calling for an expedition into the area west of the Mississippi River.He felt that a military man with some men could successfully chart the route.At that time France owned the territory and such an expedition would be considered invading.Then in July of the same year，Napoleon of France，in a surprise move，offered Louisiana to the United States for $15,000，000.America accepted and the United States grew by about one million square miles，from the Mississippi to the Rockies and from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada.Shortly before this news，Jefferson had handed his personal secretary，Meriweather Lewis his instructions for the expedition of the Missouri River.On May 14,1804，the Lewis and Clark Expedition started out from St.Louis in search of the Pacific Ocean.Two and a half years and 8,000 miles later the explorers returned to St.Louis and there’s a thunderous welcome from a grateful nation.Although the route never became widely used，it provided the impetus for the great western exploration movement.The search for America began.By 1848，when Mexico ceded its claim to all US territories to the north of its presentday border，the United States had acquired the land westward from the Rockies to the Pacific Coast，north to the 49th parallel and south to the Rio Grande.This lawful possession convinced thousands of settlers to move westward in search of land. 【解题导语】本文讲述了美国领土扩张过程中的几个重大事件。
青岛市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练(20)(答案及解析)
青岛市2019高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（20）（答案及解析）You can not see any object unless light from that object gets into your eyes. Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies. The moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own. It is non-luminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. So moon light is only second hand sunlight.When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.1. You can see the book because_______.A. your eyes are close to itB. it reflects some of the sunlightC. it has light of its ownD. your eyesight can get to it2. The und erlined word “luminous” means_______.A. visibleB. all colorsC. giving off lightD. sunlight3. ________ have light of their own.A. The sun and the moonB. The stars and the earthC. The sun and the starsD. The moon and the earth4. Which of the following is true?A. All the things you can see give off light.B. Light from the book is much shorter than that from the moon.C. The moment you open your eyes the light from the book travels to your eyes.D. Light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read.(1—4 BCCC)【答案与解析】本文介绍了光的种类及其特征。

山东省青岛市2014届高三教学质量统一检测英语2高考英语2014-03-24 1203BMany people hate the idea of having to sleep on a plane. But Swedish entrepreneur Oscar Dios thinks they can be persuaded otherwise and he has created a new kind of hostel to prove it.Dios says it is the world's first jumbo jet hostel, an actual jet-plane Sweden's main airport outside Stockholm which has been converted (改装) into a 25-room guesthouse that sleeps as many as 72 people."I learned about this plane that was standing abandoned at Arlanda airport and I've been trying t he concept of hostels in manydifferent houses and buildings," he told reporters. "I thought, 'Why not a plane?"'Jumbo Hostels opened for business on Thursday, giving customers the chance to check in and sleep in a room that can best be described as cozy."The most challenging part with this project is trying to build something inside a metal hull (外壳) — it's just really, really tight."The jet, which was originally produced for Singapore Airlines, was taken out of service in 2002. One thing the hostel has going for itis price — a room starts at 350 Swedish crowns (about $41), which is a lot less than hotel rooms outside of major airports.Another feature customers can get married on the wing of the plane and live in the plane's more lu xurious honeymoon room situated in the cockpit (驾驶舱).Instead of walking down the aisle (走廊), lovebirds can take what Jumbo Hostels calls the "wing walk," where they can be joined in great joy at the wing tip. The hostel has someone ready to perform the ceremony.But in some respects, this hostel remains a plane — most customers have to share the jet's nine bathrooms and staff only wear air steward and stewardess clothes. The only room that has its own bathroom is the honeymoon suite.61. Swedish entrepreneur Oscar Dios creates a new kind of jet hostel in order to .A. make people more comfortableB. earn more money from peopleC. change people's idea of not sleeping on the planeD. explore the sources of the universe62. According to the passage the jet hostel is .A. flying in thesky B. hung in the skyC. lying on theairport D. buried underground63. The advantages of the jet hostel are the followingEXCEPT .A. morecomfortable B. suitable for new couplesC. convenientbathroom D. cheaper64. This abandoned plane originally belongs to .A. StockholmAirlines B. Singapore AirlinesC. SwedenAirlines D. Oscar Dios Airlines65. Which statement of the following do you think can best describe this passage?A. A new fashion of wedding in the plane.B. For travelers, a new way to get a restful night.C. A new way to enjoy yourselves.D. How to change a plane into a hostel.CMAY 14 marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel. Many Israelis, however, are not in the mood to celebrate.Looking at the damage to her neighbor's home from a Palestinian rocket, Batia Katar, a 17-year-old Israeli girl, was in tears. "We can't celebrate (Israel's) independence when things like this are happening," she said.What is clear is that Israel is not a normal country. The country has a dramatic (戏剧性) history and ancient culture but has onlyofficially existed for 60 years. Within hours after it was established in 1948, Israel was at war with its Arab neighbors for land. It won that time, and in 1956, 1967 and 1973, acquiring the West Bank, the Golan Heights, Gaza and east Jerusalem. For good or ill, Israelis can take pride in victories with so many countries. However, it occupied much more land than the United Nations agreed, which left local Palestinians homeless.Different from all its neighbors in religion, Israel is also far more successful economically than its neighbors. Though, it gets a great amount of support from America and other Western countries. The country is now a world leader in many industries, such as IT and modern agriculture.However, conflict exists, just like 60 years ago. And the signal of peace is as weak as ever. Palestinian militants (武装人员) have fired more than 7,000 missiles from Gaza, mainly at Sedro, killing 13 people. In the same period hundreds of Palestinian civilians in Gaza have died in Israeli military action.In order to create peace, the world community hopes both sides accept and follow the Middle East peace plan. Optimists believe through Israeli-Palestinian negotiations there will finally be peace.Both Israelis and Palestinians want to live in peace without explosions that remind them that they are living in a special but dangerous place.66. Why are many Israelis not in the mood to celebrate the both anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel? Because .A. the government didn't organize itB. they are too bus y to attend itC. it is dangerous to celebrate itD. conflicts and fights still exist67. The underlined word established in the fourth paragraphmeans .A. defeatedB.founded C.attacked D. accepted68. Israel is not a normal country because .A. the country has a dramatic history and ancient culture but has only officially existed for 60 yearsB. within hours after its establishment, Israel was at war with its Arab neighbors for landC. it occupied much more land than the UN agreed, which left local Palestinians homelessD. all of the above69. Which statement about Israel is NOT true according to the passage?A. It became a country in 1948.B. It is different from all its neighbors in religion.C. It is now a world leader in many industries, such as IT and modern agricult ure.D. No country has supported it since it was founded.70. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. it is still a question mark whether Israelis and Palestinians can live in peaceB. Israel was created as a homeland for homeless JewsC. for good or ill, Israelis can take pride in victories with so many countriesD. Israel is far more successful economically that it neighborsDFROM 1964 to 1978, Dazhai, with a population of 500, was the most famous village in China. Millions of Chinese came to the Shanxi village to visit its terraced fields (梯田) and "splendid" irrigation systems.It was not until 1978 when Guo Fenglian, head of the village, paid a visit to th e US that China's model village found how far it had fallen behind those in developed countries."I was astonished at their modern equipment in harvesting, which could even separate big tomatoes with small ones," said Guo. "American farmers' life quality also impressed me a lot. Every day they had two cups of milk, which is something we don't have even in our wildest dreams.""We have to learn their advanced technology and administration for our own development," said then first Deputy Prime Minister Deng Xiaoping who was planning China's reform and opening up policy then. "Through opening our doors, we would not only take advantage of foreign funds (资金), but also create job opportunities and cultivate (培养) talents."In 1978 Japanese electricity giant Panasonic (松下) came to China as the first foreign business to invest (投资) here and its success attracted other world brands into exploring the Chinese market. Sofar China has for 15 years taken in the world's second biggestforeign investment, following the US, to help set the country in a fast growth.However, China's 30-year road of reform was not always smooth. Doubts on the reform began to rise at the end of the 1980s as many people worried the country would turn to capitalism (资本主义)."The criterion for our judgment is whether it helps develop socialist productive forces, whether it helps increase the overall national strength of a socialist country, and whether it brings about better living standards," said Deng."China's reform and opening up is a unique success story. It has brought benefit to both China and the world," said William Keller, chief manager of a Swiss pharmaceutical (制药的) company.71. Dazhai was not famous for .A. the wonderful irrigationsystems B. its terraced fieldsC. its modernequipment D. the farmer’s life72. Guo Fenglian was at the sight of the modern equipment in harvesting when she visited the US in 1978.A. shockedB.delighted C.excited D. attracted73. was the first big country to invest in China.A. AmericaB.Japan C.Swiss D. Panasonic74. Many people have doubts about the reform ________.A. in1978 B. in 1980C. in1981 D. at the end of the 1980s75. According to remarks by Deng, which one is NOT the criterion for judging the success or failure of our work in vari ous fields?A. whether it helps develop socialist productive forces.B. whether it strengthens the overall capacity of the country.C. whether it brings about better investment and more profit.D. whether it improves the peoples living standards.第Ⅱ 卷 (共45分)第四部分书面表达 (共两节，满分45分)第一节阅读表达 (共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后面的要求答题。

青岛市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（11）（答案及解析）阅读理解Words：420 难度系数：★★★建议用时：7分钟The discovery of an ancient giant panda skull has confirmed its bamboo diet dates back more than 2 million years and may have played a key part in its survival.A Chinese US research t eam reports its results today following studies on a fossil skull found in South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in 2001.The six fossils unearthed in Jinyin Cave are dated between 2.4 and 2 million years ago，according to the report in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences，an influential US journal.Jin Changzhu，of the Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS)and lead author of the paper，said the smaller fossil skull indicates the giant pandas were about a third smaller than today’s pandas.Researchers knew the panda reached its maximum size about 500,000 years ago，when it peaked，and then gradually became smaller.Jin，a paleontologist(古生物学者)at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology(古人类学)attached to the CAS，said the size variation was a basic rule of evolution.“A species tends to grow bigger when it reaches the peak of its population，but becomes smaller when numbers decline，”he said.The dental remains of the skull，which is the oldest giant panda skull ever found，are similar to today’s pandas’，indicating the type of teeth that could munch(用力嚼)mountains of bamboo.A panda can eat up to 40 kg of bamboo per day. Paleoanthropologist Russell Ciochon，the US co author at the University of Iowa，said the panda’s focus on bamboo could ha ve helped it survive all these years. “Once an animal begins to rely on a common and stable food source，such as bamboo，it tends to evolve a larger body size，”he said.“As individuals of the evolving species grow bigger，they have a better chance not to be eaten by predators(肉食动物) due to their larger body size.”【解题导语】2001年在广西壮族自治区出土的一个大熊猫头骨化石证明，大熊猫在两百多万年前已经以竹子为主食，而且当时的大熊猫比如今的大熊猫小三分之一。

Literally, everyone “has a book in their stomach”. One in 10 Icelanders will publish one.“Does it get rather competitive?” I ask the young novelist, Kristin Eirikskdottir. “Yes, especially as I live with my mother and partner, who are also full-time writers. But we try to publish in alternate years so we do not compete too much.”“Writers are respected here,” Agla Magnusdottir tells me. “They live well. Some even get a salary.” Magnusdottir is head of the new Icelandic Literature Centre, which offers state support for literature and its translation. “They write everything— modern sagas （长篇小说）, p oetry, children’s books, literary fiction —but the biggest boom is in crime writing,” she says.So what has led to this extraordinary book boom? I would say it is due to a crop of good writers, telling interesting tales with elegant economy and fantastic characters.Iceland’s black lava （火山岩） riverbeds, its steaming, bubbling earth, with its high volcanoes and great streams also make it the perfect setting for stories. Solvi Bjorn Siggurdsson, an Icelandic novelist, says writers owe a lot to the past. “We a re a nation of storytellers. When it was dark and cold we had nothing else to do,” he says. “Thanks to the poetic works and medieval （中世纪的）sagas, we have always been surrounded by stories.”Siggurdsson shows respect to Iceland’s Nobel Literature winner, H alldor Laxness, whose books are sold in petrol stations and tourist centres across the island. Locals name their cats after Laxness and pay visits to his home. “When Laxness won the Nob el Prize in 1955 he put modern Icelandic literature on the map,” Siggurdsson tells me. “He gave us confidence to write.”4. The phrase in Icelandic “ad ganga med bok I maganum” in Paragraph 2 suggests that ______.A. Icelanders love readingB. Icelanders love writingC. there are a lot of good books in IcelandD. it’s competitive to publish a book in Iceland5. What kind of book is the most popular in Iceland?A. Poetry.B. Medieval sagas.C. Crime novels.D. Children’s stories.6. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Halldor Laxness is the teacher of Siggurdsson.B. Halldor Laxness is greatly respected in Iceland.C. Writers in Iceland benefit from its literary tradition.D. Siggurdsson won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1955.7. According to the passage, Iceland _______.A. has more writers than any other country in the worldB. possesses some factors to be the perfect setting for storiesC. publishes more books than any other country in the worldD. advises people to publish books to increase their incomeCLast weekend I moved into a share house. It will come as a surprise to anyone that I’m no longer a lively, young 20-something. According to my own rules, this is not how things were supposed to be at 40. I should be organising schedules for childcare and family holidays, not working out a list assigning whose turn it is to clean the toilet. But I am. And I’m OK with it.A recent article from another 40-something who moved back in with his family after losing his job indicates how routine people can be. Comments suggested he should grow up and stop depending on his parents. Even I had a short moment thinking he should get organized by now. But why? Why should a 41-year-old have to follow the routine lifestyle?Despite the phone calls I make to keep in touch, being alone at home can be mentally challenging. So why then would I deny myself the option of having someone to talk to in the evening, to laugh with or to cook food for, simply because I think I’m too old for that kind of nonsense?Please don’t a ssume I am Peter Pan (天真的成年人). I love being alone and need quiet time. But while I’m busy at a new job, sometimes it’s difficult to keep a sunny mood when you head home alone with no one to ask how your day was or if you’d like some cake.Perhaps it’s no t us single 40-somethings that need to grow up, but the routine views of others that need to be altered. Society is changing rapidly. Jobs aren’t for life, so we need to be more flexible. Rather than give judgment, why not add it to the g rowing list of alt ernatives to the “house, two kids and a dog” nuclear family.8. It can be learned from Paragraph 1 that the author .A. is as energetic as 20-somethingsB. opposes cleaning the toilet in turn between roommates.C. is changing her rules about how 40-somethings should liveD. doesn’t like organizing schedules for childcare and family holidays9. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. The author thought highly of the critical people.B. The author had doubts about the 41-year-old’s choic e.C. The author still thought the man ought to be independent.D. The author showed a negative attitude to the comments.10. We can learn from Paragraph 3 and 4 that the author .A. dislikes being aloneB. can’t bear the fee ling of lonelinessC. is really too old to have a young persons’ gameD. has denied the option of having someone as company11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A. People don’t live to work.B. People today enjoy a long life.C. The old rules won’t work one day.D. Nuclear families will disappear gradually.DElephants are known to be highly social and intelligent. Now there is evidence that they will show something that looks very much like a group hug when a fellow elephant is in despression.Joshua Plotnik, who leads a conservation and education group called Think Elephants, and teaches conservation at Mahidol University in Thailand, studied elephants at a park in Chiang Rai Province in Thailand, to look for consolation（慰藉）behavior.As explained by Frans de Waal, Dr. Plotnik’s Ph.D. adviser at Emory University, consolation behavior involves bystanders’ responding to an animal that is in emotional depression. The depression may be caused by a conflict with another member of the group.“We’re pretty confident it’s relatively rare in animals,” Dr. Plotnik said in an interview. He said there was good evidence for the behavior in apes, wolves and some birds. And he said there had been some reports of such behavior in dolphins and elephants.Elephants clearly have strong emotional connections to other elephants and are highly intelligent, so it made sense to think that they might console one another. To find out, Dr. Plotnik observed 26 elephants in six groups at a managed park.When one elephant was disturbed, Dr. Plotnik said, other elephants — bystanders — gathered around. They made soft sounds and touched the depressed elephant, head to mouth with their long trunk(象鼻), which are comforting gestures, for elephants.Dr. Pl otnik said that since he couldn’t always observe the original source of the depression, he couldn’t say that the behavior met the real meaning of consolation, as it was not clear whether it followed conflict. The elephants might have been scared by a person, dog, or, in some cases, a noise that humans couldn’t hear. But, he said, in every other way the elephant behavior showed that they were acting to comfort elephants that were upset.12. What would other elephants do when one elephant was in depression?A. They would stand by to watch.B. They would make comforting gestures.C. They would gather around to defend it.D. They would make sounds to cheer it up.13. Joshua Plotnik is sure that __________.A. dolphins too have consolation behaviorB. most animals have consolation behaviorC. consolation behavior only exists in a few animal speciesD. consolation behavior exist in highly intelligent animals14. What Dr. Plotnik says in the last paragraph suggests that __________.A. he is sure of the finding of his studyB. he has found a new meaning of consolationC. he needs further evidence to conclude his studyD. it’s impossible to find the source of elephants’ depression15. Which of the following best gives the main idea of the passage?A. Elephants have emotions.B. Elephants can get upset.C. Elephants are highly social and intelligent.D. Elephants give a comforting trunk.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。
