马鞍山市2014高考英语阅读理解、动词短语精讲讲练（2）及答案The time of year a baby is born can shape what profession they will embark on in later life, a new study has suggested. Being born in a certain month appears to indicate the possibility of what job a person will end up with, the study by the Office for National Statistics found.Researchers have uncovered that the month in which babies are born could also affect everything from intelligence to length of life. A child born in December is more likely to become a dentist while someone whose birthday falls in January will tend to a debt collector, they found.A February birth a ppears to increase the chances of being an artist while March babies appear to go on to become pilots. Meanwhile, April and May are said to have a fairly even spread of professions, births in the summer months mean a much lower chance of becoming a high-earning football player, doctor or dentist. The study was gained by researchers who analyzed the birth months of people in 19 separate occupations using information from the last census (人口普查), the Daily Mail reported. Although these trends may be difficult to explain, relations between birth months and specific health problems have a scientific basis.Spring babies are at greater risk of illnesses including schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, asthma and autism. They may also be less clever than classmates born in other parts of the year. (/news-115-76605.html)63. What does the underlined phrase “embark on” refer to?A. land onB. keep in touch withC. be engaged inD. break from64. According to the researchers, a child born in March is likely to become_______.A. a debt collectorB. a pilotC. a dentistD. an artist65. We can learn from the text that______.A. the month babies are born could only affect his intelligence and length of lifeB. People born in the summer months are more likely to get highly paidC. Spring babies may have the bigger chance to get illD. the choice of profession for April and May is very narrow66. What can be included from the passage?A. There exist connections between birth date and occupationsB. The fate has been already decided when people are bornC. People born in Autumn would be more successful than those born in SpringD. The time of year one is born decides which specific health problems one has参考答案63—66 CBCA**********************************************************结束“If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives —the big political stories, the news of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more news of scientific research, th ough. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our live s, like genetic(基因) engineering. In t he future, I think there will be more reports of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do —as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read — sports and international news, etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体).They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresawthat television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in t he air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.67. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Best Way to Get NewsB. The Changes of MediaC. Make Your Own NewspaperD. The Future of Newspaper68. In the writer’s opinion, in the future, _______.A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make newsB. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longerC. newspapers will report more scientific researchD. more and more people will watch TV69. What will probably be on in the newspaper mad e by yourself?A. Sports and international news.B. A menu of important news.C. The most important news.D. What you are interested in.70. From the passage, we can infer _______.A. newspapers will win the competition among the different mediaB. newspapers will stay with us together with other mediaC. television will take the place of newspaperD. the writer believe some media will die out参考答案 67—70 DCDB*******************************************************结束动词和动词词组概述动词和动词词组的考查是单项填空的重中之重，就2005年高考而言，各省、市试卷涉及动词与动词词组的考题大都占到6—9题之多。

Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that generally things turn out for the best? Do you believe that if something is meant to be, it will be? If you reply “yes” to all of these questions, then you are an optimist. You probably are enthusiastic, cheerful and outgoing. You may well be successful at work 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 soo n), Wrong. When one door closes, another door slams in your face. That's bitter reality.Now a book has been published which confirms what we pessimists (悲观者）have suspected all along. It's called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism. Its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results. Defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. Defensive pessimists prepare for things by setting low outcomes for themselves. They carefully considereverything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems. And this gives them a sense of control. Lawrence Sanno, a psychology professor, says, “What’s interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situation’s outcom es is not realistic. They use it to motivate themselves to perform better. ”So far, so good. This is not rocket science. Defensive pessimists 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 count your chickens until they hatch. “ To have a confident and optimistic approach to life’s problems is good. But listen to what Woody Alien，the American comedian says, ”Confidence is what you have before yo u 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 paragraph 4 means _________.A. the cos t 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 defensive 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 basket.”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 culture 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 and all environments, to contribute to healthy and livable communities.Characterized by Slow Food International as “good, clean, and fair 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 final destination, with producing of food traveling by plane from overseas and other items shipped across the country.However，cost for food travel and heavy processing are not the only problems in the food industry that the environment faces. Industrial agriculture 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 into conflict with nature's ways of doing things. A great many of the health and environmental problems created by our food system owe to our attempts to oversimplify natures complexities, at both the growing and the eating ends of our food chain.“Slowing” food, by purchasing locally and sustainabl y, allows consumers to reduce the impact of “food miles” and develop a closer relationship with their food producers.“ We need to change our food system，” said David Prior, organizerof Slow Food Nation EatIn. “Our current food system is sick and we need to support farmers and agriculture to ensure that everyone has the right 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 stewardship”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 environment74. 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.

马鞍山市2014高考英语阅读理解、动词短语精讲讲练（14）及答案(·山西省三市联考)The iPhone, the iPad, the iPod: each of Apple's products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” — and many other brands are following suit. The BBC's iPlayer — which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet —adopted the title in 2008. A lovely bear — popular in the US and UK — that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmeddown version of London's Independent newspaper was l aunched last week under the name “i”．In general, singleletter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as email and ecommerce first came into use.Most “i” products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent's “i”，it's no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name.But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”，“b”，or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King's College, London, “i” works bec ause its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”， no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn't have one clear definition，” he says.“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability(轻便)，” adds Thorne.Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the ide a that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and w e love personalized products for this reason.Along with “Google” and “blog”，readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the trend inevitably disappeared.语篇解读：本文为说明文。

马鞍山市2014高考英语阅读理解、动词短语精讲讲练〔11〕与答案On August 26, 1999, New York City experienced a torrential downpour. The merciless rain caused the streets to flood. New York City’s subway system came to a screeching stop as the subway stations were drowned in water. Unfortunately, this happened during the morning rush hour.Many people who were going to work were trapped and forced to go home. Some battled with fellow New Yorkers to hail a cab or to get on a bus. Still others braved the storm, walking miles to get to work.I happened to be one of the people on their way to work that morning. I went from subway line to subway line only to find that most service had stopped. After running around like crazy and making my way through crowds of people, I finally found a subway line that was operating. Unfortunately, there were so many people waiting to board the subway that I could not even get down the stairs to the platform. Determined to get to work, I decided to take the train uptown several stops and then switch back to the downtown train. It was annoyance, but it paid off. However, the train got more packed at each stop. People pushed and shoved. I was constantly hit with elbows and bags. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity (no end), the train reached my stop.But the journey was not over yet. I would still have to walk several blocks to get to my office. When I finally got to work, I was completely soaked and left a puddle of water everywhere I sat. I was also exhausted (tired out) and discouraged from my commute.My co－workers and I spent most of the day drying off. When 5：00 rolled around, I was ready to go home. I was about to log off my computer when I received an e －mail from Garth, my Deputy Director：Iwouldliketothankallthosewhomadetheeffortandeventuallyreportedtowork. Itisalwaysreassuring, attimeslikethese, whenemployeessoclearlyshowtheirdevotiontotheirjobs. Thankyou.His e－mail was short, but I learned more from that brief message than I ever did from a textbook. The e－mail taught me that a few words of appreciation can make a big difference. The rainstorm and the transit troubles had made me miserable. But Garth’s words immediately invigorated me and put a smile back on my face. As a matterof fact, his e－mail made the whole subway painful experience all worthwhile.August 26, 1999 may have been one of the darkest days in New York City history, but it was one of the brightest days in my life thanks to Garth.5．The subway system in NY came to a sudden stop because ______.A. most of its service had stoppedB. it was flooded by busy travelersC. it was during a morning rush hourD. its stations were covered with water6．How did the writer get to her office?A. By pushing in the stairs to the platform.B. By switching trains in a roundabout way.C. By battling with people to hail a taxi.D. By walking miles to get to the office.7．The underlined word “invigorated〞 probably means ______.A. inspiredB. expectedC. liberatedD. convinced8．Which is the best title for the passage?A. A downpour in mid－summer.B. A lesson from a rainy day.C. An appreciation of a misery.D. A dark day in New York history.[答案]1999年8月26日那天因为纽约雨下得大，交通几乎完全停滞，上班不便，而作者费了很大的劲，终于成功地赶到了单位，但因为浑身湿透了什么事情也干不成。

马鞍山市2014高考英语阅读理解、动词短语精讲讲练（3）及答案AI had made up my mind a long time ago that I would not give a homeless person money, because Icould never be sure what that money would be u sed for.

马鞍山市2014高考英语阅读理解、动词短语精讲讲练（32）及答案AFor Senior 3 students, choosing which college to attend can be the most exciting and thrilling time in their entire school lives．This is also true for an American girl named Melanie in the film, College Road Trip, which was released in the US on March 7．Melanie's dad, James Porter, is the chief of polic e for a Chicago suburb．Incredibly security obsessed（困扰）, he wants Melanie to attend nearby Northwestern University, where she's already been accepted．But Melanie, 17, really wants to go to Georgetown in Washington, D．C．, where she's been wait-listed．When she gets an unexpected interview, she decides to take a road trip with a few close female friends．Melanie believes it is her first step toward adulthood．But despite the fact that this trip is "girls only", James isn't comfortable with the prospect of his little princess exploring the world without, him．He wants to protect her．James joins the girls and hopes he c an convince her to go to Northwestern．While Melanie's father only has the best of intentions, his presence leads to an endless series of comic encounters．After following their faulty GPS device deep into the backwoods, James and Melanie discover her little brother and his pet pig have been hiding in the spare tire compartment（隔间）．What should be a simple tire change results in the expensive car rolling down a mountain, forcing them to hike to a nearby hotel．There the pig ruins an outdoor wedding reception after eating an entire bag of coffee beans．All these disasters add spice to their trip while along the way a father and a daughter finally get the chance to really talk to each other．The film explores the parent-child relationship in a comic way: The discrepancy （不同） between how close James thinks he is to Melanie and how little he actually knows of her plans makes us laugh first and then think．All parents, whether they have college students or not, can relate to thebittersweet realization that their kids are growing up．Like what Melanie and James have done in the film, we all can find the delicate balance between staying connected and letting go．41．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A．It's unclear whether Melanie could be accepted by Northwestern University．B．Northweste rn University isn't so famous as the university in Washington D．C．C．There is no hope that Melanie will be accepted by the university in Georgetown．D．Melanie's father prefers her to stay not too far away from him．42．We can infer from the passage that ____ _．A．their car rolled dow n the mountain, ruining the wedding receptionB．a hotel was destroyed by Melanie's b rother and his pet pigC．Melanie and her fa ther got to understand each other better after so many encountersD．the girls had to give up their trip because of the incidents on the way 43．The main purpose of the passage is to___ ___．A．introduce the newly released filmB．call on parents to learn to balance the relationship with their children C．tell a story which happened between an American girl and her fatherD．explore the differences in parent-child relationship between the west and the east************************************************结束I look in the mirror, and I'm not happy with what I see．I don't have a "perfect" face．I look in the magazines and all I see are girls with fair hair, blue eyes, and, of course, a-pretty little nose．They're on the outside of the buses that I take home, the television programs I watch, and the billboards I walk under．Almostevery advertisement I see shows this human physical "perfection"．These billboards not only tell me what to drink, but also how to look．Our society tends to place more importance on a person's physical beauty, rather than their ability, honesty and character．We have influenced women to go through painful surgeries and starve themselves to become this society constructed physical model．To be a beautiful woman in the 21st century doesn't mean that you are a brilliant doctor or caring mother．It mean s you have the perfect jaw structure, eyes and lips．It means that you can be six feet tall and weigh one hundred and ten pounds．But what about the women who are starting to leave their youth? Instead of looking at aging as a sign of wisdom, we attempt to prevent the aging process．It's a kind of funny thing to want to look eighteen when fifty．Fifty is a relaxed age, where yo u can step back and look at all you've achieved．It is when your hard work pays off．Unfortunately, our society just sees you as "old"．To stop the aging process, women buy wrinkle creams, do eye lifts and face lifts．They spend thousands of dollars to win the hopeless battle against age．I remember when I was about thirteen years old and going through teens, I had oily hair, and a half developed body．I hated the way I looked．I used to cry to my mother all the time, but she would just laugh and tell me that "you don’t want anyone to like your appearance．It's your heart that matters, because beauty fades．”I knew that she was right．If you work on your heart enough, people will start to see the beauty in you, which lasts and remains on even after you die．44．The main idea of the first paragraph is that _____ _．A．the author doesn't have a perfect faceB．women have to look beautifulC．photos of beautiful girls can be seen everywhereD．there are too many beauties in daily life45．What's the author's attitude towards being "old"?A．It's a pity tha t people have to get old．B．It's a fruitful and wise time．C．It's stupid to try to stay young．D．It's a pity that society looks down upon the old．46．It is ____ _ that regard（s） the physical beauty as more important．A．women themselves B．the author's parentsC．newspapers and mag azines D．society47．What's the author's opinion about beauty?A．The author doesn't like the beauties our society values．B．It is not important whether a person looks beautiful or not．C．It is a person's inner qualities that matter rather than the physical beauty．D．The author feels appearance is important to a person．短语动词陷阱题总结归纳【1】◆典型陷阱题分析◆1.

高中英语真题-2014年高考(安徽卷)答案及解析
高中英语真题:2014年高考（安徽卷）答案及解析（听力略）21．—Reading is the best way to pass time on the train.—_________ , I never go traveling without a book.A．You are joking B．That's trueC．I don't think so D．It sounds like fun【答案】B【解析】试题分析：句意：--阅读是在火车上度过时间的最好的方式。

所以选B。
考点：考查交际用语22．The exact year_________ Angela and her family spent toge ther in China was 2008.A. WhenB. whereC. whyD. which【答案】D试题分析：句意：--Angela和家人一起在中国度过的那年是2008年。
这句话使用了定语从句，先行词是the exact year，定语从句中的动词spent是及物动词，后面缺少宾语，所以用关系代词that或which引导定语从句，而不能用关系副词。
所以选D。
【知识拓展】考点：考查定语从句定语从句关系词的考查，首先要确定从句是定语从句，然后找到先行词，再分析关系词在从句中的成分，最后选择正确的词。
如果定语从句中缺少主宾表或定语，就用关系代词that/which/who/whose引导，如果做宾语，可以省略关系代词，如果定语从句中不缺主宾表，缺少的是状语，用关系副词when，where，why引导定语从句，如果定语从句中缺少介词+先行词，就用介词+关系代词。

马鞍山市2014高考英语阅读理解、动词短语精讲讲练（21）及答案“Tear them apart！” “kill the fool！” “Murder the referee (裁判)！”These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At th e time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But let’s not kid ourselves. Th ey have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real violence. Books have been written about the way words affect us. It has been shown that words having certain meanings may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual behavior. I see the term “opponent” as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports term.The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent” is “enemy”，or “one who opposes your interests.” Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. I remember an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player’s request for a time out for a glove change beca use he did not consider them wet enough. The player went away to rub(磨擦) his gloves across his wet T－shirt and then screamed, “Are they wet enough now？”In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the effect that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent’s intentional and illegal blocking by hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which differs from normal behavior.Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated(提升) the game to the level where it belongs, setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term “oppo nent” with “associate” could be a good way to start.The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is “friend” or “companion”. You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to term “associate” rather than “opponent”．5．What did the handball player do when he was not allowed to change his gloves?A. He refused to continue the game.B. He angrily hit the referee with a ball.C. He insisted that the referee was unfair.D. He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T－shirt.6．According to the passage, players, in a game, may ______.A. throw the ball at the opponent illegally blocking their wayB. keep on screaming and shouting throughout the gameC. lie down on the ground as an act of protectionD. kick the ball across the court with force7．What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. The player’s eagerness to win.B. The player’s bad behaviour.C. The player’s attitudes towards the game.D. The player’s totally different behaviour on and off the court.8．What can be concluded from the passage?A. Players should be educated to respect referees on the court.B. Replacing the present terms on the court can help reduce violence.C. Raising the referee’s sense of responsibility can help reduce violence.D. Changing the attitude of players on the sports field can help reduce violence.[答案]5．D。
细节理解题。
根据第三段倒数第一句可判断此项正确。
前三项在文章中没有信息支持。
6．A。
根据第四段第二句可判断此项正确。
B、D两项在文章中没有信息支持；根据第四段第一句可知运动员躺下的原因是为了阻挡别人，而不是自我保护，因此C项错误。
7．D。
段落大意题。
本段提到在比赛进入白热化阶段时，选手有时会不择手段地去阻挡对方，而出了球场又是朋友，由此可见球场上的表现与正常行为存在差异性。
8．B。
推理判断题。
结合倒数第二段最后一句以及最后一段中的内容可推断此项正确。
文章叙述的是一些体育用语的使用不当导致了一些不文明的行为，其余三项与此无关，因而不恰当。
