【2014】高考英语阅读理解巩固精品题练习(21)及答案
2014高考英语阅读理解巩固精品题练习（21）及答案阅读理解-----AYesterday’s paper had a short article about the Coming-of-Age ceremony in a large city in Japan. According to the article, the mayor of the city formally apologized to an enraged professor who delivered a speech at the ceremony that was all but ignored by 20-year-olds in the city.The officials prepared 7,000 seats in a gymnasium where the ceremony was held for the 17,000 twenty-year-olds residing in the city. But most of the seats were empty during the speech. And many of the 20-year-olds who did show up ignored the professor and spoke among themselves or talked on their mobile phones. Some even made a ruckus outside the gymnasium.One 20-year-old who attended the ceremony said youngsters came to the ceremony not to listen to the speech but to see their classmates. The mayor criticized the young generation at a news conference on Tuesday, saying such behavior “is symbolic of the postwar era which failed to nurture healthy character and social intelligence.”Perso nally, I feel people shouldn’t generalize the whole generation or the whole era when he criticizes something. But it is also true that the generation gap is getting bigger and bigger r egarding the ceremony of Coming-of-Age Day. So far this ceremony has be en held with citizens’ tax money. Many older generations understand this festival as an entrance ceremony of adults’ world which requires maturity including responsibility, patience, and cooperativeness. Older people tend to be “educational” to younger ones, while younger people tend to feel they finally obtain a right to behave freely because they are now adults. Though, ironically, young people have to ask their parents to buy them new clothes for the ceremony.It is about time to change the way we celebrate this festival, I think. The idea of blessing new 20-year-olds is not so bad. But there seems to be some other ways to celebrate more properly. The present way seems to me a little superficial and materialistic. It can provide solutionless arguments between different generations, instead of friendships and respects. Instead of eternally complaining about the young’sbehavior at the ceremonies, people should consider how they can make their ceremo nies worthier, I feel.41. When the professor was giving a speech the 20-year-olds are not ______.A. talking with each otherB. chatting on their mobile phonesC. talking with the professorD. making ruckus outside42. According to the author,______.A. the festival is an entran ce ceremony of adult’s world which requiresmaturity including responsibility, patience, and cooperativenessB. the younger tend to obtain a right to behave freely because they arenow adultsC. young people have to ask their parents to buy them new clothes for theceremonyD. it’s time to end complaining about the young’s behavior at the ceremonies,and people should consider how to make their ceremonies worthier43. What’s the best title for the article?A. There Are Solutionless Argument Between Different GenerationsB. Coming-of-Age Ceremony Should Be Much WorthierC. Old People Should Be Educational to Young PeopleD. The Younger Ones’ Behavior参考答案41-43 CDB【甘肃省金昌二中2013模拟】CHow can a creature weighing over 5 ton s and normally taking 150 kilograms of food and 120 liters of water per day survive in a desert environment?In the southwest African country of Namibia, and the Sahara lands of Mali further north, the desert elephant does just that.Although not regarded as a separate species from the African elephant, the desert cousin differs in many ways. Their bodies are smaller, to absorb less heat, and their feet are larger foreasier walking across sandy surfaces, they are taller, to reach higher branches. They have shorter tusks（象牙）, and most importantly, longer trunks to dig for water in riverbeds. Desert elephants can travel over 70 kilometers in search for feeding grounds and waterholes, and have a larger group of families. They drink only every 3 –4 days, and can store water in a “bag” at the back of their throat, which is only used when badly needed. Desert elephants are careful feeders – they seldom root up trees and break fewer branches, and thus maintain what little food sources are available. Young elephants may even eat the dung（粪便）of the female leader of a group when facing food shortage.During drought they are unlikely to give birth to their young but with good rains the birthrate will increase gre atly. Desert elephants have sand baths, sometimes adding their own urine（尿液）to make them muddy!As we continue to overheat our weak planet, it can only be hoped that other animal species will adapt as extraordinarily well to change as the desert elephant.49．The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means “”.A．remains in the African countries B．drinks 120 liters of water a dayC．manages to live in desert areas D．eats 150 kilograms of food daily50．Desert elephants are called careful feeders because they _________.A．rarely ruin trees B．drink only every 3-4 daysC．search for food in large groups D．protect food sources for their young51．The author answers the question raised in the first paragraph with __________. A．stories and explanation B．facts and descriptionsC．examples and conclusion D．evidence and argument52．What can be inferred from the last sentence in the passage?A．Overheating the earth can be stopped.B．Not all animal species are so adaptable.C．The planet will become hotter and hotter.D．Not all animals are as smart as desert elephants.【参考答案】49—52、CA BB阅读理解-----“Soon, you’re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door. Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fer tilizing have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The ca ge I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.Now the tas k I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold. First, I have to find the red ones, among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. Second, I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I pick tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.Here I am faced with a painful small decision. To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about that tomorrow.44. What are the requirements for the healthy growth of roses?A. A lot of care and the right light.B. Frequent pruning and fertilizing.C. Tomato plants grown alongside.D. Cages placed around the roots.45. The writer planted the tomato because_______A. it cost only $1.25B. the soil were just right for itC. there was room for it in the gardenD. the roses’ branches needed to be covered46. This year the write r’s roses were ______A. removed from the rose bedB. picked along with the tomatoesC. mostly damaged by too much sunlightD. largely hidden under the tomato plant47. By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph 5, the writer wants to ______A. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoesB. show the hardship of growing the rosesC. express her liking for the rosesD. express her care for the tomatoes48. In the situation described in the text, one good thing is that ______A. the roses cost the writer little moneyB. the writer has a daily harvest of tomatoesC. someone will help the writer make the decisionD. the writer can now enjoy both the roses and tomatoes参考答案44-48 ACDAB阅读理解1. The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before. Changes for the better, changes for the worse, changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that put man in danger. Many things caused the changes, but, in my opinion, the most important was the progress in science.2. Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views. It hasgiven us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe. It has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development. Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life.3. The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings; in pure science—a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning; in applied science--- a more reasonable sharing of material benefits, and better protection of the environment.4. Sadly, however, there is another side to the picture. The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind. The application of science and technology to the d evelopment and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet. We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons. Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War, the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race, as well as of many kinds of animals.5. William Shakespeare said, “The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.” The above brief review the application of only one part of human activities—science seems to prove what Shakespeare said. But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good? Are we biologically programmed for war?49. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?A. 1B. 12 2 33 4 45 5C. 1D. 12 3 4 2 3 4 5550. From the fourth paragraph, we can infer that ______.A. a great many nuclear weapons were actually used for warB. a large number of nuclear weapons should have been used for warC. the author is doubtful about the ruin of human beings by nuclear warD. the author is anxious about the huge number of nuclear weapons on theearth51. The under lined word “mingled” most probably means______A. simpleB. mixedC. sadD. happy52. What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues towrite?A. Further application of science to war.B. More reading of William Shakespeare.C. Proper use of science in the new century.D. Effective ways to separate the good from the ill.参考答案49-52 ADBD【甘肃省金昌二中2013模拟】DAfter we meet people, it is up to us to make them our friends．Let us stop a moment and consider what really makes a friend. The major qualities like faithfulness, devotion, friendliness，flash through our minds. But it is the large number of very small particular qualities that make up one’s whole character, such as cheerfulness, friendlines s and punctuality.

There are particular favorable qualities, which attract others to us, and some fundamental psychological do’s and don’ts．If you are in the presence of a shy person, talking and asking casual questions may bring him out of his shell. Think of what would be most acceptable to the other person for you to talk, or to listen. Either way, the goal is to make yourself pleasant．Always remember to listen, b ut listen intelligently.

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解It was just before 8 a.m. on October 17, 2010.She'd checked the higher summits forecast posted by the Mount Washington Observatory before she left. Based on her experience, Bales knew that her hike was realistic. Besides, she had two plans and extra layers of clothing to better regulate her temperature as conditions changed.At 10:30 a.m., the weather was showing its teeth. Bales added even more layers, including a jacket to protect herself from the cold winds and heavy fog. She made her way across the snow—covered ridge toward Mount Washington and began to think about calling it a day. Then she noticed something: a single set of footprints in the snow ahead of her. She'd been following faint tracks all day and hadn't given them much thought, because so many people climbed Jewell Trail. But these, she realized, had been made by a pair of sneakers. She silently scolded the absent hiker for breaking normal safety rules and walked on.Now she felt genuinely alarmed. She was sure the hiker could not navigate(找到方向)in the low visibility and was heading straight toward the challenging trails of the Great Gulf Wilderness. Bales stood there, shocked. The temperature and clouds were in a race to find their lowest point, and darkness was mere hours away. If Bales continued to follow the tracks, she'd add risk and time to the route she'd already adjusted to manage both. But she could not let this go. She turned to the left and called out, "Hello!" into the frozen fog.Bales wouldn't get an answer until a week later, when the president of her rescue group received a letter in the mail. It read: "I hope this reaches the right group of rescuers. I want to remain anonymous(匿名的), but I was called John. On Sunday, October 17, I went up my favorite trail, Jewell, to end my life. Weather was to be bad. Thought no one else would be there. I was dressed to go quickly. Next thing I knew this lady was talking to me, changing my clothes, giving me food, making me warmer."（1）What does the underlined sentence mean?A.The weather began to get worse.B.Nobody controlled the weather.C.Weather could never be predicted.D.Weather was generally changeable.（2）Why did Bales feel really frightened?A.Because she lost her way completely.B.Because the terrible weather was on the way.C.Because she was blinded by the frozen fog.D.Because she was convinced that someone was in trouble.（3）What is the purpose of John's hiking?A.To challenge his limit.B.To go up his favorite trail.C.To donate some money to rescue group.D.To kill himself without being discovered.【答案】（1）A（2）D（3）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，贝尔斯在天气恶劣时去登山，无意发现一串往危险区域行进的脚印，她知道有人陷入了困境。

西安市2014高考英语阅读理解训练（21）及答案 【广东省汕头市2014高考英语模拟试题】C Celebrities(名人) are more in love with themselves than the average person，according to a new study． In case anyone needed proof, a new study supports the widely held perception：Famous people are more narcissistic(自我陶醉的)，which means they are more in love with themselves than the average person is．That is the conclusion drawn by Drew Pinsky and S．Mark Young of the University of Southern California，whose study of 200 celebrities will appear in the Journal Of Research in Personality． It is not the entertainment industry that turns stars into narcissists，the study found．Rather, it suggests，the self-adoring(自恋的)people seek jobs in show business．The study, whose subjects were a11 celebrities from Pinsky’s‘Loveline’radio show, found that reality TV stars were the most narcissistic of all celebrities．Female stars were also more likely than the male stars to exhibit narcissistic characteristics． It’s “common sense” that celebrities are narcissists，said Jeremy Ritzlin，a longtime Hollywood psychologist who has not seen the study．“Everyone knows famous people are really in love with themselves，”he said．“So it would be natural for narcissists to be attracted toward the stage and spotlight，where other people will also think highly of them．” Pinsky, an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at USC’S Keck School of Medicine，said narcissists desire attention，are overconfident，behave strangely and lack sympathy．“However, they are easily-liked，especially on first meeting，are outgoing and perform well in public，” added Pinsky, who has hosted the radio show“Loveline”for 20 years． Celebrity guests appearing on the program were randomly chosen to participate in the study．They anonymously(匿名地)took the Narcissistic Personality Inventory test．which rates self-love levels based on seven components：superiority, exhibitionism，entitlement，vanity，authority, exploitativeness，and self-sufficiency． 36．Who are most likely to be self-adoring in the study? A．The women stars． B．The men stars C．The average people． D．It is not mentioned in the passage． 37．According to the forth paragraph．the fact “celebrities are narcissists” .

Houses fall down. Trees fall over. Large holes form in the ground. Could Alaska be sinking? That’s what some villagers in Alaska have been asking themselves recently and scientists think they know why. Warmer temperatures may be causing Alaska’s frozen ground to thaw (解冻).
About 85 percent of Alaska’s land surface has permafrost (永久冻结带). Permafrost supports the ground above it—including trees, houses, and roads. But why is the permafrost thawing?
Some scientists say that human-caused pollution is leading to global warming. And most scientists agree that Alaska has been getting warmer. They say that the warmer temperature is causing permafrost to thaw in some areas. The thawing permafrost can cause problems for people, plants, and animals.
The collapsing (倒塌)is a problem in the villages in Alaska which are built on permafrost, and some of them may have to move to safer ground, where there is no permafrost.
The Alaskan town of Glennallen saw its old post office collapse. And, according to James Walters, a permafrost expert at the University of Northern Iowa, house-moving companies have been very busy.
“Melting permafrost can also destroy trees and forests,”Walters said. “When holes in the ground form, trees fall into them and die. This could turn a forest into a swamp (沼泽), and animals which need the forests will have to move elsewhere.”
