【高考专题辅导】湖南省2014版高考英语 专题检测卷阅读理解
阅读理解（建议用时：25分钟）A体裁说明文话题手机对人体的影响词数370 Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication—having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning(扫描)equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn’t remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer’s doctor didn’t agree.What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it’s best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it’s wise not to use your mobile phone too often.1. People buy cell phones for the following reasons except that .A. they’re popularB. they’re convenientC. they’re usefulD. they’re cheap2. The under lined word“detected”in Paragraph 3 could be best replaced by.A. discoveredB. removedC. curedD. caused3. The salesman retired young because .A. he disliked using mobile phonesB. he couldn’t remember simple task sC. he was tired of talking on his mobile phoneD. his employer’s doctor persuaded him to4. On the safety issue of mobile phones, the manufacturing companies .A. deny the existence of mobile phone radiationB. develop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiationC. hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry aboutD. try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health5. The writer’s purpose of writing this article is to advise people.A. to buy mobile phonesB. to use mobile phones less oftenC. to update regular phonesD. to stop using mobile phonesB体裁记叙文话题温情传递词数273(2013·衡阳模拟)I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate“Yes! ”. As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way oftrying to ease our pain.Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two-year-old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter.Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favourite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.6. The author has given lots of food to others because .A. she is poor at cookingB. she is a church memberC. she is friendly to othersD. she has received others’food7. We can learn from the first paragraph that the author .A. had to stay in bed for several weeksB. knew the family in need very wellC. was glad to be able to lend a handD. was tired of preparing food8. Which of the following is TRUE about the author?A. Her mother died when she was in hospital.B. She didn’t get enough food during her pregnancy.C. She received food as well as comfort in her hard times.D. She thinks offering food is the best way to show love.9. What do we know about the author’s family?A. Her family is too poor to buy enough food.B. Her family lives not far from a church.C. Her husband is not good at cooking.D. She has a babysitter taking care of her twins.10. According to the passage, which of the following conclusions can we get?A. A good beginning makes a good ending.B. One good turn deserves another.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. Every man has his faults.C体裁记叙文话题收集垃圾词数359 We buy things, use them, then throw away the packaging, largely unaware that most of our trash ends up in landfills where it can sit for decades, polluting the soil and ecosystems around it. Reducing the amount of garbage we produce in the first place is one of the best ways to save the planet.From Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2012, I saved every piece of my garbage. No, I’m not homeless, and I didn’t lose my mind. Keeping all my trash meant literally living with the impact of my daily decisions, which led me to make dramatic changes in my lifestyle.I should clarify that I saved all my nonbiodegradable(不能生物降解的)trash—things like glass, foam, and plastics, which don’t rot naturally. I set aside banana peels, coffee grounds, eggshells, and other biodegradable waste for composting(制成堆肥). Just as I washed my dishes, I scrubbed my soda cans, potato chip bags, and juice bottles with soap and water and hung them on my dish rack to dry. “Doesn’t your trash stink? ”people often asked. As long as I washed and dried everything, it didn’t smell.I believe that“waste”is actually a resource that can be used rather than discarded. Saving my tra sh allowed me to recycle or“repurpose”it. Rather than throw out my plastic bags, I’ll put them into plastic bottles that can be sued as“bricks”to build bus stops, benches, and even houses. This spring, I was part of a group of students at the University of California, Davis, who used plastic bricks to create a bench for the campus.Though I won’t be saving all my trash again this year, my experience has permanently changed my consumption habits. Every time I go to the grocery store, I bring reusable bags. And I avoid consuming drinks from glass bottles. In short, I’ll never again be able to buy anything without pausing to ask myself: Is this really something I need? Is there a way to get it that involvesless waste? I also hope that all people will see“waste”as just a resource in the wrong place.11. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 3?A. How he cleaned his trash.B. How he dealt with his trash.C. How he stored biodegradable waste at home.D. How he selected his nonbiodegradable trash.12. The underlined word“discarded”in Paragraph 4 means.A. recycledB. valuedC. thrown outD. handed over13. We can learn from the text that the author .A. kept his trash in the garageB. saved garbage for half a yearC. made the best use of his trashD. will continue to save his trash14. According to the last paragraph, the author’s experience.A. gave him much pleasure and joyB. allowed him to save a lot of moneyC. made him show little interest in shoppingD. increased his awareness of the need to reduce waste15. The text is mainly about .A. how garbage ended up polluting the soilB. how trash changes our modern lifestyleC. the author’s experience of saving garbageD. the author’s good consumption hab its【拓展训练】根据C篇文章回答问题。
2014届湖南湘中名校高三第一次大联考英语阅读理解_
2014届湖南湘中名校高三第一次大联考英语阅读理解_A friend is moving house this weekend and wouldlike some help, and you agree. But, what you really wanted was a couple of quiet days relaxing at home. Ora roommate spends the entire weekends playing video games and wants to borrow your homework for reference . But, you ve just finished it after taking a whole dayto work hard.Many people say yes to these kinds of requests.They tend not to consider their own interests and feelings, and are often angry with themselves afterwards.Saying no requires courage and considerable practice, in fact, according to psychologists.Everyone wants to be liked, says Gabriele Steinki,a German psychologist. Saying no risks losing the affection of the person asking the favor or even a job.The result is that many people say yes just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is regrettable. Anyone should have the right to say no .In fact, rejecting a request can even help to strengthen a relationship because it expresses a true feeling.But, for people used to agreeing to every request, changing can be a long and uncomfortable learning process.Most people believe that If I say no , I ll lose the affection of the person. But the affection is important to me. This way of thinking can be replaced by this: If he only likes me because I always do what suits him , then the price of his affection is toohigh in the long term.Steinki says the key is talking to the otherperson to find a mutual (相互的) solution. One needsto present the situation from one s own point of view, and to suggest how the situation can be dealt with to the advantage of both parties. The other person musthave the feeling that his interests are being considered.When the refusal is not accepted, Steinki advises giving the reasons calmly again until the person gets the message.1．Most people say yes much more readily than no because ________.A. they don t care about their own interests and feelingsB. they don t know they will regret afterwardsC. they have already been used to saying yesD. they care more about others affection2．I n the opinion of experts, _________ .A. people need a lot of practice to say noB. p eople should say yes to keep the peaceC. saying no means losing a jobD. people have the right to be liked3．According to the writer, what should you do if you want to refuse the other person s request?A. Just say you can t help him.B. Say sorry to him.C. Refuse him clearly.D. Talk to the other person to find a mutual way.4．According to the writer, what should you do if your refusal is not accepted?A. Say yes to him.B. Repeat your reason for his acceptanceC. Just go awayD. Say no to him5．What is the best title of the passage?A. You Need Courage To Say NoB. Yes More Than NoC. Nobody Has the Right To Say NoD. It s Easy To Say Yes【文章大意】本文叙述了一般情况下，其他的人向你寻求帮助时，你如果感觉这样做不对，也不符合自己的想法，但是还是说了可以，心理专家提醒要有勇气说出自己的想法，敢于说不，当别人不能接受你的拒绝时，要说一些对方能够接受你的理由。

Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and tha t generally things turn out for the best? Do you believe that if so mething is meant to be, it will be? If you reply “yes” to all of thes e questions, then you are an optimist. You probably are enthusi astic, cheerful and outgoing. You may well be successful at wor k and in love.But you may be misguided because things don’t turn out for the best. You may believe that when one door closes another one opens (for example，you may fail to obtain a new job，another chance will come around soon), Wrong. When one door closes, another door slams in your f ace. That's bitter reality.Now a book has been published which confirms what we pessi mists (悲观者）have suspected all along. It's called The Positive Power of Defe nsive Pessimism. Its author argues that defensive pessimism c an lead to positive results. Defensive pessimism is a strategy u sed to manage fear, anxiety and worry. Defensive pessimists pr epare for things by setting low outcomes for themselves. They c arefully consider everything that may go wrong and plan for wa ys to handle these problems. And this gives them a sense of co ntrol. Lawrence Sanno, a psychology professor, says, “What’s i nteresting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situation’s outco mes is not realistic. They use it to motivate themselves to perform better. ”So far, so good. This is not rocket science. Defensive pessimist s prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on a date or even in a sports game. It makes sense to have a back-up plan. There are many sayings in English urging caution. For example, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket,” and “Don’t co unt your chickens until they hatch. “ To have a confident and op timistic approach to life’s problems is good. But listen to what W oody Alien，the American comedian says, ”Confidence is what you have bef ore you understand the problem.”There are pros and cons to being an optimist and a pessimist. Don’t feel bad if you see the glass half empty. You are a realist. But lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.68. What is the passage mainly about?A. A book that has recently been published.B. The dangers of being too optimistic.C. The benefits of defensive pessimism.D. How to become successful in life.69. The underlined sentence “This is not rocket science” in para graph 4 means _________.A. the cost is not so highB. there is no real proofC. it’s not a dangerous thing to doD. it is quite simple to understand70. The writer would probably describe himself as_____.A. an optimistB. a realistC. a defeatistD. a scientist71. Which of the following English expressions would a defensi ve pessimist believe?A. “Every cloud has a silver lining.”B. “The glass is half full not half empty.”C. “Whatever will be, will be.”D. “Don’t put all your eggs in one b asket.”参考答案 68-71 CDBD****************************************************结束In 1986，when Carlo Petrini first coined the term “Slow Food，” he organized locally in his native Italy to preserve the food and wine cult ure and protest fast food.Today, slow food has spread to 132 countries with over 85, 000 members, addressing worldwide issues like farmer equity and environmental stewardship—the actions people take to respect the rights of all living things a nd all environments, to contribute to healthy and livable commu nities.Characterized by Slow Food International as “good, clean, and f air food，” slow food must enrich the eaters' life，have no negative impact on human or environmental health，and compensate fairly for food producers' work.The average American meal travels about 1,500 miles to its fina l destination, with producing of food traveling by plane from ove rseas and other items shipped across the country.However，cost for food travel and heavy processing are not the only probl ems in the food industry that the environment faces. Industrial a griculture also has unsustainable practices like inefficient water use and decreased biodiversity. Our ideas in feeding ourselves are exceptional, but at various points our technologies come int o conflict with nature's ways of doing things. A great many of th e health and environmental problems created by our food system owe to our attempts to oversimplify natures complexities, at b oth the growing and the eating ends of our food chain.“Slowing” food, by purchasing locally and sustainably, allows co nsumers to reduce the impact of “food miles” and develop a clo ser relationship with their food producers.“ We need to change our food system，” said David Prior, organizer of Slow Food Na tion EatIn. “Our current food system is sick and we need to sup port farmers and agriculture to ensure that everyone has the rig ht to nutritious food.”72. The main idea of the passage can be summarized as______ __.A. why slow food is so importantB. the food and wine culture is rich in ItalyC. what you're eating always travels a long wayD. slow food makes the current food system sick73. According to the second paragraph, “environmental steward ship” refers to________.A. measures of environmental protectionsB. ways to establish healthy and livable communitiesC. people's admiration for all the creatures on the earthD. actions to protect the rights of all living things and environme nt74. Slow food's characteristic doesn't lie in________.A. improving the quality of eaters' lifeB. providing a fair pay for food workersC. being friendly to human and environmental healthD. developing a loose relationship with food producers75. What is David Prior's attitude towards current food system?A. Suspicious.B. Unsatisfied.C. Indifferent.D. Supportive.参考答案 72-75 ADDB动词和动词词组自我检测1.

AIt was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor．On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of my colleagues turned to me and said, "Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life．" At my inquiry, he answered, "Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave．"As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague's words no longer existed．When I came across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher．It obviously isn't the money．Once a former computer science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change．He was working at Nintendo Corporation．His salary was higher than my current one, though I have more education and have worked for over a decade．With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired．I thanked him, but refused his kind offer．A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework．She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class — not about math, but about life — would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away．As I finished reading, I remembered wh y I had become a teacher．Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with renewed dedication （奉献）and a deeper sense of satisfaction — I will always be grateful that I am a teacher．56. Hearing his colleague's description of graduation for the first time, the author ．A．quite agreed with his colleague B．was very puzzledC．thought it very funny D．was very sad57．The computer science student called up the author because he ．A．wanted to inform the author of his present jobB．tried to persuade the author to work with himC．wanted the author to share his joy and satisfactionD．thought the author wasn't fit to be a teacher58．The underlined part blue hats and gowns refers to ．A．university colleagues B．graduates' clothesC．life memories D．decorations in the hall59．The author wrote this passage toA．express his devotion to being a teacherB．compare two different graduation ceremoniesC．talk about the meaning of graduationD．give advice on how to be a good teacher60．The reason why he earns less than the computer science student is that ．A．he was only a young professorB．he didn't do well in his workC．he taught his students more about life than mathD．salaries for different careers are differentBWhen a child is told he is “uncool”, it can be very painful. He may say he doesn’t care, and even act in ways that are opposite of cool o n purpose. But, these are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending it’s not there.Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. If you say, “Why are you worried about what other children think about you? It doesn’t matter！”，children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, “I’m going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school.”If a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child’s popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. I t even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc.There are things that patents can do at home, too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite fri ends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider “super”. When you plan trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. Then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build real friendship of his own.61.
