Everyday we have to make many choices. For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food because it is tasty? Will I work hard in all my classes or will I waste time? We make choices like this every day.Making the wrong choices can bring unhappiness. We have realized that the choices we make can affect the rest of our lives. Just as importantly, our choices can also affect other people. The next time you misbehave in class or fight with your brother or sister, think about this: who else does your choice affect?61.

高中英语真题-2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空类训练(2)及答案
高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空类训练（2）及答案阅读理解Against the supposition than forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia warm the climate, scientists have discovered that coolin g may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirr or more sunlight into space.This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern fores t to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climat e in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in th ese areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with clim ate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by t he earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling.This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fire s influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming b ecause greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are rel eased into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenh ouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozo ne（臭氧）levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation fr om the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the la nd within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, b ecause fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mi rrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling.“We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of g reenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked the cha nge in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate syst em as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely rela ted to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regio ns occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, h owever, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radi ation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts ar e used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost fro m the earth.1. According to the new findings, taking steps to prevent norther n forest fires may _______.A. result in a warming climateB. cause the forest fires to occur more frequentlyC. lead to a longer fire seasonD. protect the forests and the environment there【答案与解析】A 根据第二段第一句This finding suggests ……可知2. The following are all the immediate effects after a forest fire EXCEPT _________.A. large amounts of greenhouse gases enter the atmosphereB. the levels of ozone which is a type of oxygen increaseC. snow on the ground mirrors more sunlight back into spaceD. ashes from the fire fall on the ice surface and take in more ra diation from the sun【答案与解析】C 根据第四段可知3. Earlier studies about northern forest fires _________.A. analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climateB. indicate that forest fires will pollute the atmosphereC. suggest that people should take measures to protect environ mentD. suggest that the fires will speed up climate warming 【答案与解析】D 根据第三段可知4.

My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields. I would walk behin d an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. For $ 1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.It was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. I’ve never been late for any job since. I also lea rned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. More important, I earned my pay; it never entered my mind t o say I was sick just because I didn’t want to work.I was only six years old, but I was doing a man’s job. Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never e arned more than $ 18 a week. Our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet. Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, fath er, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me self-esteem(自尊心), one of the most important things a person can have. When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in b ed and dreamt of making thousands of dollars by playing golf a nd being able to buy a bicycle.The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not? I made my fi rst golf club out of guava limb(番石榴树枝) and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small holes in the grou nd and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same dev otion and intensity. I learned working in the field — except now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick. 41.

Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen. You’re different from the others!If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch(痒) on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood.

Electric lights, infrared (红外感应) faucets andair-conditioners need electricity to work．One way to save energy is by keeping lights clean. More and more dust and dirt make the lights less bright.

Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth. ”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotio nal(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she didforgive(原谅) me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times.Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.1. The writer began to love her mother’s desk ______.A. after Mother diedB. before she became a writerC. when she was a childD. when Mother gave it to her2.

What did mother do with her daughter’s letter asking forgiveness?A. She had never received the letter.B. For years, she often talked about the letter.C. She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.D. She read the letter again and again till she died.5. What’s the best title of the passage?A. My letter to MotherB. Mother and ChildrenC. My mother’s DeskD. Talks between Mother and Me4Here are some tips (建议) on how to stay safe in earthquakes (地震).1．Stay inside and duck and cover.

2014中考英语阅读理解及答案：地震之后
After a serious earthquake happened, a father left his wife safely at home and rushed to his son’s school, only to find that the building where his son studied had collapsed and looked like a pancake.
He was shocked. He didn’t kn ow what he should do for a while, then he remembered the words he had said to his son,“No matter what happens, I’ll always be there for you!”And tears began to fill his eyes. He started digging through the ruins (废墟).
As he was digging, other helpless parents and the firemen arrived and tried to pull him off the ruins, saying,“It’s too late! They’re all dead! There’s nothing you can do!” To them he replied with one line, “Are you going to help me now? “ And then he kept on digging.
No one helped, however. He went on alone because he needed to know for himself: “Is my boy alive or is he dead? ” He dug for eight hours......12 hours......24 hours (36)
hours……then, in the 39th hour, he pulled back a rock and heard his son’s words. He shouted his son’s name,“ARMAND!”He heard back,“Dad!?! It’s me, Dad! I told
the other kids not to worry. I told them that if you were alive, you’d save me and when you saved me, they’d be saved. You promised, ‘No matter what happens, I’ll always be there for you!’ You did it, Dad!”
“What’s going on in there? How is it?”the father asked.
“There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. We’re frightened, hungry, thirsty and thankful you’re here. When t he building fell down, it made a triangle (三角) , and it saved us.”
“Come out, boy!”
“No, Dad! Let the other kids out first, because I know you’ll get me! No matter what happens, I know you’ll always be there for me!”
underlined word “collapsed” probably means “ ”.
