2014届高考高三英语二轮专题复习：阅读理解(1)及答案
2014届高考高三英语二轮专题复习：阅读理解AEarly one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine.Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious(无意识的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the consciouspart may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.1..According to the passage, Elias Howe was________.A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleepB. much more hard-working than other inventorsC. the first person to design a sewing machine that really workedD. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams2.The problem Howe was trying to solve was________.A. what kind of thread to useB. how to design a needle which would not breakC. where to put the needleD. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle3.Thomas Edison is spoken of because________.A. he also tried to invent a sewing machineB. he got some of his ideas from dreamsC. he was one of Howe’s best friendsD. he also had difficulty in falling asleep4.Dreams are sometimes called“secret messages to ourselves” because ________.A. strange images are used to communicate ideasB. images which have no meaning are usedC. we can never understand the real meaningD. only specially trained people can understand themBLanguage learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners .Most children will“obey”spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager anddelighted cooperation usually shown by the child .Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate ,they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation（模仿）leads on to deliberate（有意的）imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds .5.Before children start speaking________.A.they need equal amount of listeningB.they need different amounts of listeningC.they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructionsD.they can’t understand and obey the adult’s oral instructions6.Children who start speaking late ________.A.may have problems with their listeningB.probably do not hear enough language spoken around themually pay close attention to what they hearD.often take a long time in learning to listen properly7.A baby’s first noises are ________.A.an expression of his moods and feelingsB.an early form of languageC.a sign that he means to tell you somethingD.an imitation of the speech of adults8.The problem of deciding at what point a baby’s imitations can be considered as speech________.A.is important because words have different meanings for different peopleB.is not especially important because the changeover takes place graduallyC.is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with ageD.is one that should be completely ignored（忽略）because children’s use of words is often meaningless9.The speaker implies________.A.parents can never hope to teach their children new soundsB.children no longer imitate people after they begin to speakC.children who are good at imitating learn new words more quicklyD.even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitatingCThe greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually awoman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances（家用电器）and convenience foods.This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’ s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age ,and though women tend to marry younger ,more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more after wads, return to full or part-time work.Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each of them.10.We are told that in an average family about 1990________.A.many children died before they were fiveB.the youngest child would be fifteenC.seven of eight children lived to be more than fiveD.four or five children died when they were five11.When she was over fifty, the late 19th century mother________.A.would expect to work until she diedB.was usually expected to take up paid employmentC.would be healthy enough to take up paid employmentD.was unlikely to find a job even if she is now likely12.Many girls, the passage says, are now likely to ________.A.marry so that they can get a jobB.leave school as soon as they canC.give up their jobs for good after they are marriedD.continue working until they are going to have a baby13.According to the passage,it is now quite usual for women to ________.A.stay at home after leaving schoolB.marry men younger than themselvesC.start working again later in lifeD.marry while still at schoolDAny mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value.The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony of Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer-Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps.Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius’Government House, and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for the stamps. He accidentally inscribed the words“Post Office” instead of“Post Paid” on the several hundred stamps that he printed.Today there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left fourteen One Penny Orange-Reds and twelve Two Penny Blues. Because of the Two Penny Blue’s rareness and age, collectors have paid as much as ＄16 800 for it.14.Over a century ago, Mauritius ________.A.was an independent countryB.belonged to IndiaC.was one of the British coloniesD.was a small island in the Pacific Ocean15. The mistake on the stamps was made ________.A.in MauritiusB.at Mauritius Government HouseC.in a post officeD.in London16. Stamp collectors have paid 16 800 for ________.A. fourteen One Penny Orange-RedsB. twelve Two Penny BluesC. one One Penny Orange-RedD. one Two Penny BlueEPersonal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun see a great movie perhaps-and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.E-mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t take the place of any of the old ways.17.

Ⅰ.阅读理解AThree engineers and three accountants (会计) are traveling by train to a conference.At the station，the three accountants each buy tickets and watch as the three engineers buy only a single ticket.“How are three people going to travel on only one ticket？”asks an accountant.“Watch and you’ll see，”answers an engineer.They all board the train.The accountants take their respective seats but all three engineers cram into a restroom and close the door behind them.Shortly after the train has departed，the conductor comes around collecting tickets.He knocks on the restroom door and says，“Ticket，please.” The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand.The conductor takes it and moves on.The accountants see this and agree it is quite a clever idea.So after the conference，the accountants decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money.When they get to the station they buy a single ticket for the return trip.To their astonishment，the engineers don’t buy a ticket at all.“How are you going to travel without a ticket？”asks one puzzled accountant.“Watch and you’ll see，”answers an engineer.When they board the train the three accountants cram into a restroom and the three engineers cram into another one nearby.The train departs.Shortly afterward，one of the engineers leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the accountants are hiding.He knocks on the door and says，“Ticket，please.”1．The three engineers buy only a single ticket because________.A．only one of them need buy a ticketB．the three accountants buy tickets for themC．they just want to save moneyD．they are too poor to buy more tickets答案 C解析 细节理解题。
由第四段第二句中的save some money可知，这三个工程师只买一张火车票也是为了省钱。
2．The underlined word departed in the third paragraph means________.A．started out B．separatedC．stopped D．arrived答案 A解析 词义猜测题。
结合故事情节的发展及本段中的“the conductor comes around collecting tickets”可推知，这里指火车“开动”了。
3．Which one of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A．Only one engineer is in the restroom when the conductor collects the ticket.B．At first the three accountants know why the three engineers buy one ticket.C．On the return trip the three accountants buy three tickets again.D．On the return trip the three engineers don’t buy any ticket.答案 D解析 细节理解题。
根据第五段第一句可知，返程时三个工程师一张票也没买。
4．We can infer from the passage that________.A．the accountants are not as clever as the engineersB．the accountants are cleverer than the engineersC．the engineers are not as clever as the accountantsD．the engineers are as clever as the accountants答案 A解析 推理判断题。
根据两次买票的情况，一方面我们觉得这个故事幽默有趣，另一方面工程师确实比会计师在逃票方面技高一筹。
BBuckingham Palace has a history that dates back over 500 years and has changed hands on numerous occasions.However，much of the building that remains standing today is from the original structure built in the early 1700.In the beginning Buckingham Palace was originally known as Buckingham House.However，in 1762 George Ⅲ liked the house so much that he bought it for his wife Charlotte and renamed it Queen’s House.Soon he began to remodel the house with the help of Sir William Chambers.This trend then continued with the accession of George Ⅳ in 1820 when he decided to reconstruct the house but he still used it for the same purpose that his father did.One of the biggest physical changes to the house however occurred several years later when the king had a change of mind.It was in 1826 that King George Ⅳset about transforming the house into what it is known today，Buckingham Palace.He did this with the help of an architect known as John Nash.The work that Nash carried out involved doubling the size of the main block through adding a new suite of rooms on the garden side facing the west.He then faced this with mellow (圆润的) Bath stone，which reflected the French neoclassical influence favoured by George Ⅳ.Many of the rooms that Nash added still remain pretty much unchanged today.The palace as it stands today acts as not only the London residence of Her Majesty the Queen but also as the administrative headquarters of the Royal Household.It is in fact one of the few working royal palaces that remain in the world today.The state rooms are extensively used by the Queen as well as members of the royal family as a way of receiving and entertaining guests on state，ceremonial and official occasions.5．George Ⅳ used Buckingham House probably to________.A．please his own wifeB．give it to his sonC．give it another nameD．honor his old mother答案 A解析 细节理解题。
