It was a cold afternoon in winter. My oldest son, Stephen, was at school, and Reed, my husband, at work. My 35 little ones were sitting around the kitchen table. Tom was perfecting a paper plane, while Sam was 36 on an oil painting.But Laura, our only daughter, sat quietly and was 37 in her project. Every once in a while she would ask how to 38 the name of someone in our family, then carefully form the letters one by one. Next, she would add flowers with small items. She finished off each with a sun in the upper right hand corner. Holding them at eye level, she let out a long sigh (叹息) of 39 .“What are you doing, Honey?” I asked. She looked quickly at her brother before looking back at me. “It’s a 40 .”she said, covering up her work with her hands.Next, she put her work into a box. When she had finished, she disappeared up the stairs.It wasn’t until later that evening that I 41 a “mailbox” taped onto the doors to each of our bedrooms. There were little notes saying that she loved all of us. She hadn’t 42 Sam or baby Paul. They are pages of colored scenes including flowers with happy faces. “He can’t read yet,” she whispered (低声说), “43 he can look at the pictures.” Each time I received one of my little girl’s gifts, it 44 my heart. I was touched at how carefully she paid attention to what wrong happened to us. When Stephen lost a baseball game, there was a letter telling him she thought he was the best ballplayer in the whole world. After I had a 45 day, there was a message thanking me for my efforts.This same little girl is grown now, driving off every day to the state college, but some things about her have 46 changed. Yesterday I found a love note next to my bedside. “Thanks for always being there for me, Mom,” it read, “I’m glad that we’re the best friends.”There are angels among us. I know I live with one.35.

47. The advertisements above are about ______.A. shoppingB. foodC. travelD. hotels48. If you go to Austria, you can ______.A. visit a village called SollB. walk along its long beachesC. take a morning river boat tripD. buy many kinds of fruits on an island49. Which place may be the hottest in the daytime?A. Soll.B. Bangkok.C. Kauai.D. Hawaii.BHip hop or rap (说唱) music started on the street and in the clubs of the New York City in the 1970s. People rap to express how they feel about their lives and problems.Rapping in class.Would you like to rap in class? Well, actually hip pop music is played in more than 10,000 schools in the USA. Why? There is a new school program called “Flocabulary” in which teachers use texts and hip hop CDs to help teach different school subjects. The words of the songs are just what students are studying. This makes learning easy and fun. Students and teachers are excited about the good results it has had on exam marks. Mr. Lee, a teacher in a high school, said, “I’ve used hip hop songs in cla ss, and I have never seen my students so crazy about history! You can’t imagine how well they remember what I teach! We even try to write our own songs.”Whose idea was Flocabulary?Blake Harrison, a high school student, was the first person to come up with the idea of Flocabulary. The word “Flocabulary” comes from the word “flow” and “vocabulary”. “Flow” is a rap word for “style”, or the way a rapper says the words of a song. “Vocabulary” means the words you have to learn in a language. How did he get the idea? Well, he realized he could remember the words of a hip hop song very easily. So, why not make lessons into songs? Today together with Alex Rappaport, a song writer, Blake produces hip hop songs for math, science and literature (文学). They are now used in schools with great success.50. Rap music started ______ in the New York City in the 1970s.A. in a high schoolB. in a music classC. on the streetD. in a CD shop51. From the passage, we can learn “Flocabulary” is a program to ______.A. write rap musicB. remember the words of a songC. write our own songsD. help teach school subjects52. Blake has produced hip hop sings for school subjects EXCEPT ______.A. mathB. historyC. scienceD. literatureCWhen something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well,it’s so-and-so’s mistake.”or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.”It is probably not your mistake, but once you form the habit of blaming (指责) somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.Winners are great at solving problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague (同事) causes you problems on the job for being short of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t depend on the person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all about – creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and chances to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose mistake it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.53. What does the underlined word “remedy” probably mean?A. Avoid.B. Accept.C. Improve.D. Consider.54. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should ______.A. blame him for his being short of responsibilityB. find a better way to deal with the problemC. tell him to find the cause of the problemD. ask a more able colleague for help55. What can be the best title for the passage?A. A Winner’s Secret.B. A Winner’s Chance.C. A Winner’s Problem.D. A Winner’s Progress.DI needed to buy a camera, one that was simply good at taking good snaps (快照). So I went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations (推荐) and headed for my nearest big camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked a salesgirl, “Can I have one of those?”“Do you want to try it first?" she said. It didn’t quite sound like a question. “Do I need to?” I replied. “There’s nothing wrong with it?” “No, no. But you should try it,” she said encouragingly. “Compare it with the others.”I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering different prices. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to consider Z and possibly H at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps (陷阱) by making the right choice. In the end, Iagreed to try the model I had chosen. The salesgirl seemed a kind girl. So I let her take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers... and when she started to introduce the special features, I cut in to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well.Why do we think that new choices still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer a chance to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.56. The salesgirl insisted that the writer should ______.A. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with itB. compare the camera he had chosen with the othersC. get more information about different companiesD. trust her and stop asking questions57. What does the writer mean by “it would be worth half what I paid for it”?A. The camera was not good.B. He should get a lower price.C. The camera would soon fall in value.D. The price of the camera was too high.58. The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he ______.A. knew very little about itB. didn’t trust the s alesgirl any moreC. wanted to make sure he chose the best oneD. wanted to take pictures of his fellow shoppers59. It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer’s opinion, ______.A. salespersons are not always very kindB. people waste too much money on camerasC. cameras have become an important part of our daily lifeD. we don’t actually need so many choices when buying a product七、阅读还原句子（共8分，每小题2分）阅读下面短文，从短文后方框中所给的五个句子中选出四个，分别填入文中相应的序号后，使短文语义连贯，结构完整。

2014届各区二模英语试卷阅读理解 (C篇 14套)
2014届各区二模英语试卷阅读理解（C篇14套）Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words:（1）We are now living in the modern city. Most of the energy which we are using for heating lighting, transportation and manufacturing (工业生产) is from fossil fuels (化石燃料). These are carbon-based (碳基燃料) fuels from oils, coal and natural gas. When we burn these fuels we release (释放) heat which p___1____ the energy.There are three major disadvantages to using these fuels. Firstly, they are causing climate problems because of the g___2____ effect. When we burn fossil fuels they produce carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) which causes global warming. Secondly, when we have used up all our coal, oil and natural gas, we will have n___3____ left to burn. Thirdly, they are not very efficient. The internal combustion engine that we use in most cars, trucks and buses, for example, is only about 14% efficient.Scientists are working on an alternative (替代的) fuel—hydrogen (氢). There are a number of advantages to using hydrogen as a fuel. Firstly, because two thirds of the e___4____surface is water and water is made of hydrogen and oxygen (氧). There is an almost unlimited (无限的) supply of hydrogen. Secondly, burning hydrogen does not cause global warming. Thirdly it is much more efficient than carbon-based fuels.Unfortunately there are problems with hydrogen at the present time: there is the problem of separating it from water c___5____, if it is too expensive, we can not afford to use it; and there is the difficulty of storing it. It can be stored under pressure but high pressure tanks are far from sage. It can also be stored as a liquid but only at extremely（非常）low temperatures. It seems likely, therefore, that there will have to be completely new technologies before hydrogen replaces fossil fuels. S___6____ these problems is an urgent matter. Although China, India and Australia have huge quantities（大量）of cheap coal, and there are still l___7____ oil and gas reserves（储备）elsewhere, the e ffects on the planet’s climate will be catastrophic（灾难性的）if they are used.1. p______________2. g________________3. n_____________4. e_____________5. c____________6.

But if you watch the credits (字幕) at the end of a movie, you’ll find hundreds of other names. Some of them are not f____1___, but they play the most important roles in filmmaking. Here are three important jobs behind the scenes.Makeup artist: Making characters look believableThe makeup artist’s work sounds simple. But it’s more than just making the lead actress look beautiful. If the hero gets a cut on his face, the makeup artist creates that cut, and it has to look e____2____ the same tomorrow. And the special makeup for a monster or a space alien can take six hours! Sometimes makeup artists have only fifteen minutes to p____3____ twenty actors for a crowd scene. Their work must always be careful and good, so you don’t notice it when you watch the movie.Special effects coordinator (协调人): Making impossible things look realAfter a movie, people often ask, ―How did they do that?‖In films, people can fly, dinosaurs walk through cities, and spaceships travel to other p____4_____ in outer space. These are all the work of the special effects coordinator. Some special effects, especially in science fiction movies, are made with computers. O___5____ are made by machines, which can make a rainy day or a snowy night at any time of the year. Fires and explosions in movies are all created with special effects.Foley artist: Creating the sounds of the cinemaThink of your favourite scary movie and its sounds – footsteps, loud rain, and creaking doors. All of these are the work of Foley artist. Many sounds can’t be recorded d_____6____ the filming of a movie, so Foley artists p___7____ them in their studios (工作室). They create the wounds of a fight scene, and the wind, rain, and thunder in the background. In a Foley artist’s studio, there are even special floor recording different kinds of footsteps.Next time you see a movie, look for these names in the credits.1. f______________2. e____________3. p___________4. p____________5. ___________6. d_____________7. p_____________Key:1. f amous2. e xactly3. p repare4. p lanets5.

A short distance ahead of me was a mom and her three-year-old daughter. The little girl was holding a string that was attached to a helium balloon(氢气球).All of a sudden, a strong w 1 took the balloon from the little girl. I thought she would scream and c 2 .But, no! As the little girl turned to watch her balloon rise into the sky, she h 3 shouted: ―Wow!‖I didn’t realize it at that moment, but that little girl had taught me something.Later that day, I r 4 a phone call from a person with news of an unexpected problem. I felt like saying:―Oh no, what should we do?‖ But thinking of that little girl, I found myself saying: ―Wow, that’s interesti ng! How can I help you?‖ One thing is for sure---life is always going to put us off balance with things we don’t expect. However, how we respond(反应) to them is our c 5 . We can choose to be frustrated(沮丧的) or fascinated.No matter what the situation, a fascinated ―Wow!’ will always b 6 a frustrated ―Oh, no.‖ So the next time you experience one of life’s unexpected guests, think of that little girl and make it a ―Wow!‖i____7_____ of an ―oh, no.‖ The ―Wow!‖ response always works.1. w_____________2. c___________3. h_____________4. r___________5. c_____________6. b_____________7. i______________Key:1. wind2. cry3. happily4.received5. choice6. beat7. insteadComplete the following sentences as required: (4)Have you ever seen an exhibition of rare Mexican grey wolves?

But a lot of my friends did very l 1 work. Some just did enough to pass the exam. Others didn’t do quite enough. Fred Braines was such a student. He spent more time drinking in the T 2 House than working in the library.Once at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in Chinese. The test had 100 questions. Beside each question we had to write ―True‖ or ―False‖. While I was studying in my room, Fred was watching TV. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night he looked very e 3__ . Then he told me of his idea.―It’s very simple. There are 100 questions and I have to get 50 right to pass the test. I will take a coin into the examination room. I haven’t studied a Chinese book for months, so I will toss the coin. In this way, I’m sure I’ll get h 4 of the questions right.‖The next day, Fred came happily into the examination room. As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour, he wrote down his answers. Then he left, half an hour b 5 the rest of us.The next day, Fred met his Chinese teacher at the school gate. ―Oh, good,‖ he said. ―I am sure you have got the r 6 of the test. Did I pass the test?‖The teacher looked at him and smiled, ―Ah, it’s you, Braines. Just a minute.‖ Then the teacher reached his pocket and took out a coin.

ActiveThe sports utility vehicle (SUV多用途车辆) was invented in the early 1990s. It quickly became very popular in the United States. There are several r 1 for this. It is larger than most of cars. It can carry lots of people, bicycles, toys, dogs and other things. This makes it popular with families. It also has four doors and a big back door, so getting in or out is e 2 . Since an SUV is taller than most cars, the driver can see above other cars and have a better sight of the road. With a lot more p 3 , an SUV can go faster than most cars. It can also go on very rough roads where other cars cannot go.The SUV is popular with many people, but other people do not like these cars. First, they are larger than most other cars. This means that drivers of other cars may not be able to see the road w 4 . Also, SUVs are very heavy. If an SUV gets into an accident with a small car, the small car may be in s 5 trouble. Another problem with SUVs is that they are very expensive. They are expensive to buy --- about 50 percent more expensive than an average small car. They are also expensive to use, since they use a lot more gasoline (汽油) than smaller cars.There are two ways to solve these problems. One way is to change the way we think about them. Now they are sold as large cars. In the future, maybe they should be sold as trucks. Then people with just a car license could not d 6 them. They would have to get a truck license. These licenses are more expensive and difficult to get, so p 7 fewer people would buy SUVs. The other way to solve SUV problems is to make them differently. Some people think that car companies should make big SUVs smaller and less dangerous. They should also make SUVs with less powerful engines. Then they would not use so much gasoline.1. r_____________2. e_______________3. p______________4. w____________5. s_______________6. d_____________7. p______________Key:1. reasons2. easier/easy3. power4. well5. serious6. drive7. probably/perhapsLibraries give kids a quiet and safe place to read and to learn. For more than 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans’ e 1 . But how are these book-filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out.Benjamin Franklin famously founded America’s first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its b 2 development in the American history in the late 1800’s. Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated (捐赠) millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie’s donations helped build 1,679 new libraries.Carnegie believed in the chances that libraries could o 3 Americans, young and old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have access（接触的机会）to books, lectures, news and more.Chances are that there is a public library in or near your c 4 . You can easily find one close to your home. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing. Seven out of ten libraries have free Internet. This opens many doors for people who cannot go online at home,i 5 the opportunity to apply for jobs online.Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program Read! Build! Play! adds reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images from the story h 6 . Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.Benjamin Franklin once said, ―The doors of wisdom are never s7 .‖ As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct!1. e_____________2. b_______________3. o______________4. c____________5. i_______________6. h_____________7. s______________Key:1. education2.biggest3.offer4. community5. including6.happily7. shutI didn’t think I had a passion (激情).

As I picked it up , greed( 贪心) suddenly came over me and I decided to 35 it.When I got home from school, I found my mother cooking dinner in the 36 . I proudly held out my prize for her to see. Mom was 37 that I had kept the watch instead of turning it in. Mom then 38 me to drive straight back to the school and take the watch to someone at the office. I started to argue, but after taking a good look at the expression on Mom’s face, I realized that it would ge t me 39 .As time passed，I forgot all about the watch until four years later.While I was attending college, I had managed to get a 40 at a Walmart pushing carts off the parking lot. One morning, I found a checkbook that had been left in a shopping cart. __41 , I gave it to the employee there so that the customer(顾客) who had lost it could pick it up.Later, as I was outside pushing carts, a man came up to me and told me that his wife had left their checkbook in a shopping cart the night before. When he told me his name, I realized that he was the owner of the checkbook I had found. I 42 to him that he could go inside and claim it at the service desk. The look on the man’s face was full of thankfulness. He pulled out his wallet and 43 me some cash(现金), but I refused. I was proud of myself, prouder than I had been in a long time, and I wasn’t about to let something like 44 ruin（毁灭）that.Suddenly, the lesson my mom had taught me that day came into focus.

C大兴Jim was good at playing football. His father was sent tickets during the football season and cheered for him. Although Jim was on the name list of the team, his coach always 35 him as a “walk-on” because he had a skinny, small build. As a result, Jim had no chance to play in a game. But he 36 missed any practice.At the end of the football season, Jim 37 a letter about his father’s death. He asked the coach if he could stop his practice and go back home. The coach put his arms around his shoulder and said, “Take the38 of the week off, you may come back at weekend.”During the third quarter of the game, which was not going well for their team, Jim quietly slipped(溜) 39 the empty locker room and put on his football clothes. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were 40 to see Jim come back so soon. “Coach, please let me play. I’ve just got to play today,” said the young man. Before long, the coach, the players and everyone in the stands(看台) could not believe their 41 . This little unknown, who had never 42 before, was doing everything right. He ran, passed, blocked like a star. In the closing seconds of the game, Jim intercepted(拦截) a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown. His teammates 43 up and lifted him over their heads.After the game, the coach noticed Jim sitting quietly in the corner alone. He came to him and said, “Kid, I can’t believe it. You were44 !”He looked at the coach with tears in his eyes and said, “Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know my dad was blind? Dad came to 45 my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him I could do it!”The coach was deeply moved and 46 to accept Jim as a real player on his team.35.

It was then that I learned how 35 it is to have a passion in life.That day 1 went home in Mom’s car. When Mom 36 at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed 37 rags (破旧衣服). He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, because I had seen many like him before. Those people usually 38 unhappy and hopeless.But this man was 39 in some way. He was not sitting down with a sad expression. Instead, he had a 40 in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious (珍贵的) thing he had.“Mo m, why does that man 41 a radio though he’s homeless?” I asked.“He 42 it.” She replied.“But why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He 43 for something that he didn’t need.”“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important.”That man must care so much about 44 for that he bought a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that 45 is the key to life.Since then I am always thinking of what is truly important in life. A home, a meal, clothes—these things are not 46 parts of the life. What we often forget is that we all need a joy, a light in a dark day. We all need a passion which gives a person the happiness they need to keep going.35.

We’re flooding!” he shouted and shook me by the shoulders. That woke 35 up! I ran downstairs to the basement. It was like a swimming pool. My mother and I immediately started to pick up things and take them upstairs. I had no 36 on, so my feet were quite freezing.Things got worse every minute. Within the next hour, we had moved everything that we could to the first floor. The computer, big-screen television and heavy boxes 37 with our most valuable things were taken to safety. 38 , our piano, sofa, washing machine and water heater were all still down there—being 39 . There was nothing we could do.That was the hardest part. Knowing that your home is being destroyed is bad enough, but 40 that you can’t do anything to stop it feels even worse.Water had come in our front door. Rescue 41 were floating in our streets. Mother told me to pack an overnight bag of clothes and valuables and get ready to leave.When it was 42 safe to walk outside, all the people in the neighborhood 43 at the street corner. People became friends, and friends became like family. People 44 each other. We learned later that the National Weather Service had declared the storm a flash flood.I really have 45 something from this flood. I’ve learned what destruction is. I have learned what 46 means.

I picked up the menu and was to order something for breakfast.“Excuse me,”I looked up and 35 a nice-looking woman standing before me.“Is your name Roger?” 36 asked.“Yes, ” I answered, feeling rather surprised as I had never seen her before.“My name’s Barbara and my husband is Tony,” she said, pointing to a middle-aged man sitting alone at the table by the window. He was 37 and weak.“Tony White, from Landon School in Jacksonville, Florida,” she added.I looked at that man for a few seconds but I didn’t recogni ze him.“I’m really sorry. The name doesn’t ring the bell,” I said.She walked back, began 38 with her husband and once in a while I saw her turn around and look directly at me.I ordered breakfast and a cup of 39 , sitting there, trying to remember who this Tony was. “I must know him,” I thought to myself. “He recognizes me for some reason.” I picked up the coffee cup. All of a sudden it came to me like a flash of lightning.“Tony, the bully, the bad boy!” I could 40 believe my eyes. “My God! He’s so thin now. Not the big boy that I 41 from back in 1997.”Everything came up to my mind. The time this 42 boy had made fun of my big ears in front of the girls in my class, and the time this big bully had pushed me against the walls in the hallway just to make himself 43 a big man to all other students.“I am sorry, Roger,” Tony rolle d by me in the wheelchair, being pushed by his wife, raising his thin, shaking hand. “I am so sorry for 44 that I did to you.”“I’m…I’m er…” I didn’t know what to say to him.After a few months, I received a letter from Barbara.

Mix up 52 playing cards. Now look at the top seven for a second. Can you remember them in order?Players at the World Memory Championships can. In fact, the 2002 champion (冠军), Andi, memorized the order of 1196 cards after looking at them for only an hour! And a German girl, Lara, only ten years old, memorized 75 faces and names in fifteen minutes!In 1987, a Japanese man, Mr. Tomoyori, wanted to prove that his memory was the best in the world by remembering by heart pi (π), a number in math which starts 3.14159…This number never repeats itself or ends. He recited pi to 40,000 decimal places (小数位). It took the fifty-five-year-old man more than twelve hours to say the numbers, but he did it withoutmaking a mistake!To remember pi, Mr. Tomoyori connected each number with a sound. He then made up stories to help him remember the words he made from the sounds. In an interview after his achievement, he said, “I decided to go ahead and memorize the value of pi up to one thousand places. But it wasn’t easy – in fact, it took me three years. To get to 40,000 decimal places it took me about ten years.”Unluckily for Mr. Tomoyori, his record was broken in 1995, when another Japanese man, Mr. Goto, memorized pi to 42,195 places.（1）（小题1）Why w as Lara’s success special?A She was just a little girl.B She was the 2002 champion.C She was from Germany.D She remembered more words.（2）（小题2）What is true about Mr. Tomoyori?A He found pi easy to remember.B His memory was the best in the world.C He used stories to help remember words.D He only made one mistake while saying pi.（3）（小题3）Who remembered the greatest numbers according to the passage?A Andi.B Lara.C Mr. Goto.D Mr. Tomoyori.17. Time can be categorized (分类) into three general types:Predictable Time: Such activities as classes, team practice, eating and sleeping. If you know the restaurant is open between 7:00am and 7:30pm, you should plan to eat sometime between that block of time.Discretionary Time: This is free time that can be planned in a manner matching with your lifestyle and to carry through the most important considerations in your life.______: Activities including unexpected and difficult or dangerous situations which happen suddenly and which require quick action to deal with them.How to manage your Time:Value Your Own Situation. The first step is to know yourself. People work differently. Some people are very active in the early morning and can carry out much at that time. Others find that their most powerful time is later in the day.Get Organized. Make a shopping list or make some type of planned notebook. This may seem simple but you would be surprised how many people do not use these necessary things. Prepare a To-Do List. Consider all that you wish to complete and make a list. Prioritize (优先排序) these items using three rules A, B, C:A=" Most" important goal that needs to be completed very soonB=" Next" important goal that does not have immediate necessityC=" Finally," do all other things.Plan Your Time. Fill in any spaces purposely left blank, and block out time to sleep. Be realistic, most college students don’t go to bed at 9 pm. Choose tim e for recreation each day. Plan Study Time. Students should study 2-3 hours for every unit, for a total of 25-35 hours per week.Time management is a system of learning to give first concern to the tasks you wish to complete. The key to being a good time manager is to learn to make full use of discretionary time and try to use it successfully.（1）What does the underlined phrase “Imposed Time” mean?A Unreasonable time.B Valuable time.C Busy time.D Unpredictable time.（2）Which of the following can be considered as Rule A according to the To-Do List?A Study for the final exam.B Play in the sports club in free time.C Visit an art museum at the weekend.D Hand in the history report tomorrow morning.（3）What is the passage mainly about?A Time preference.B Time management.C Importance of managingtime. D Instructions of saving time.18.

People rap to express how they feel about their lives and problems.Rapping in class.Would you like to rap in class? Well, actually hip pop music is played in more than 10, 000 schools in the USA. Why? There is a new school program called "Flocabulary" in which teachers use texts and hip hop CDs to help teach different school subjects. The words of the songs are just what students are studying. This makes learning easy and fun. Students and teachers are excited about the good results it has had on exam marks. Mr. Lee, a teacher in a high school, said, "I've used hip hop songs in class, and I have never seen my students so crazy about history! You can't imagine how well they remember what I teach! We even try to write our own songs."Whose idea was Flocabulary?Blake Harrison, a high school student, was the first person to come up with the idea of Flocabulary. The word "Flocabulary" comes from the word "flow" and "vocabulary". "Flow" is a rap word for "style", or the way a rapper says the words of a song. "Vocabulary" means the words you have to learn in a language. How did he get the idea? Well, he realized he could remember the words of a hip hop song very easily. So, why not make lessons into songs? Today together with Alex Rappaport, a song writer, Blake produces hip hop songs for math, science and literature (文学). They are now used in schools with great success.（1） Rap music started ______ in the New York City in the 1970s．A in a high schoolB in a music classC on the streetD in a CD shop（2）From the passage, we can learn "Flocabulary" is a program to ______.A write rap musicB remember the words of a songC write our own songsD h elp teach school subjects（3）Blake has produced hip hop sings for school subjects EXCEPT ______.A mathB historyC scienceD literature17. When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it's so-and-so's mistake．"or"I know I'm late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down．"It is probably not your mistake, but once you form the habit of blaming （指责） somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser．You have no power an d could do nothing that helps change the situation．However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to re medy the situation．This is the winner's key to success．Winners are great at solving problems．For example, if you were late because your car bro ke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly．Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need．For another example, if your colleague （同事） causes you problems on the job for being short of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person．Ask to wo rk with a different person, or don't depend on the person．You should accept that the perso n is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well．This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens．Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations t o face as anybody else．They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and chan ces to develop their own talents．So, stop focusing on"whose mistake it is．"Once you are co nfident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success．（1） What does the underlined word"remedy"probably mean？________A Avoid．B Accept．C Improve．D Consider．（2） When your colleague brings about a problem，you should________．A blame him for his being short of responsibility．B find a better way to deal with the p roblem．C tell him to find the cause of the problem．D ask a more able colleague for help．（3） What can be the best title for the passage？________A A Winner's Secret．B A Winner's Chance．C A Winner's Problem．D A Win ner's Progress．18. I needed to buy a camera, one that was simply good at taking good snaps （快照）．So I went on the net, spent 15minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations （推荐） and headed for my nearest big camera store．There in the cupboard was one of the ca meras on my list．And it was on special offer．Oh joy．I pointed at it and asked a salesgirl, " Can I have one of those? ""Do you want to try it first? "she said．It didn't quite sound like a q uestion．"Do I need to? "I replied．"There's nothing wrong with it? ""No, no．But you should try it, "she said encouragingly．"Compare it with the others．"I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering diff erent prices．With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend ho urs weighing X against Y, always trying to consider Z and possibly H at the same time．But w hen I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worthhalf what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new mod el．But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps （陷阱） by making the right choice．In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen．The sal esgirl seemed a kind girl．So I let her take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show h ow it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers…and when she started to introduce the s pecial features, I cut in to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well．Why do we think that new choices still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they of fer a chance to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited t han we would like to imagine．（1）The salesgirl insisted that the writer should________．A try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it．B compare the camera he had chosen with the others．C get more information about different companies．D trust her and stop asking questions．（2）What does the writer mean by"it would be worthhalf what I paid for it"？________A The camera was not good．B He should get a lower price．C The camera would soon fall in value．D The price of the camera was too high．（3）The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he________．A knew very little about it．B didn't trust the salesgirl any more．C wanted to mak e sure he chose the best one．D wanted to take pictures of his fellow shoppers．（4）It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer's opinion，________．A salespersons are not always very kind．B people waste too much money on cameras ．C cameras have become an important part of our daily life．D we don't actually n eed so many choices when buying a product．四、信息匹配19.

2014北京英语二模各区汇总--阅读C篇
2014北京中考二模各区县阅读理解C篇汇总DongchengAt the age of sixteen, I went on my first volunteer program in West Virginia to repair or build homes for poor families. When we arrived, we discovered that the family we were going to help was living in a trailer（拖车式活动房）that was in poor condition, no bigger than two parking spaces. A group of people had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another appeared.We soon decided that the only way was to build a new house. It was something unusual because normally our goal was to repair old homes. The family was pleased with their new house that was 20 by 30 feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.On Tu esday of that week, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, “What do you want for your new room?” Kids in the families we had helped usually wanted toys or posters, so we were surprised when Josh, the oldest boy said, “We just want beds.” T he boys had never slept in a bed. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.On Friday when we saw the truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. They were very excited.That afternoon, while we were setting up the beds, Eric ran into the house to watch us with wide eyes. As Maggie, a member of our group, put one of the pillows on the bed, Eric asked, “What is that?”“A pillow,” she replied.“What do you do with it?” Eric went on asking.“When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” Maggie answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the pillow.“Oh . . . that’s soft,” he said, holding it tightly.Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems very urgent（急迫的）, my dad always asks, “Do you have a pillow?” We know exactly what he means.53.

Mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “ is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But as a young girl,between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”.But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.As years passed and 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 did forgive me.My hope turned to disappointment, 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.But the present of her desk told me, 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. It was my letter.“In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.”53. The passage shows that __________.A.

With the coming of new technologies like computers and smart phone, writing by hand has become something of old skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful--both in school and in life.Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology(心理学) at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children learn the skill of writing by hand.Berninger and her workmates carried out a study that looked at the ability of students to complete different writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, people wrote longer articles and more complete sentences.In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a s tudent’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to h ow well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us get our vocabulary, word meaning and ideas. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换) “those words in the mind into written symbols(标志) on paper or keyboard and scree n,” the study said. Seeing thenotice spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time.“In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the choices given by the co mputer.”53.

But when you have a teacher like Mrs. Rheineck, it’s more than a science class. It’s a science class where learning is easy and fun. There is no getting down to a huge textbook or listening to a teacher about something you don’t care about.My experience with Mrs. Rheineck didn’t start with science class, but with her as my tutor（导师，家庭教师）. I was always a weak reader and wasn’t getting any better. My parents told me I needed to be tutored.One day after school, I went into the library with my mom for my first tutoring time. I had no idea who was tutoring me. My mom practically h ad to pull me into the library. The first thing we did was to play a game to get to know each other and get rid of the awkwardness (笨拙，尴尬). We didn’t even play a reading game.We also went around the library and I got to pick out a book I wanted to read. She didn’t make me read a boring textbook about something I didn’t care about. I didn’t even pick a book. I picked out a magazine about remote control cars. I thought to myself, how bad could it be? I got to read about remote control cars. She told me even though I was reading a magazine, I was still reading. After the first magazine, she picked out a book she liked. I would read a chapter(章) and then she would read a chapter to me, this way I didn’t have to read for long periods of time.As I got better and faster at reading, I was able to read two chapters in the same amount of time, which used to take me to read one chapter.Reading is one of the most important things in high school and college to be successful. If it wasn’t for her,I would not be the reader I am today and I thank her for that.53. Why was the writer tutored by Mrs. Rheineck?A. Because the writer was too shy to talk with others.B.

I’m sure lots of children of your age will say “yes”. Not only the students in China have this problem, but children in the United States also have heavy school bags. Doctors are starting to worry that younger and younger students are having back and neck problems as a result of school bags being too heavy for them.“It’s hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because it’s so heavy,’ said Rick Hammond, an 11-year-old student in the US.Rick is among students who have common school bags with two straps to carry them, but many other students choose rolling bags.But even with rolling bags, getting up stairs and buses is still a problem for children. Many of them have hurt their backs and necks because of the heavy school bags.But how much is too much? Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight.Scott Butch, a back doctor, said children under Grade 4 should stay with 10%, but it is also important that older children don’t stay with over 15%, because their bodies are still growing. “Children are losing their balance and falling down with their school bags,:”he said.Parents and teachers are starting to tell children to only take home library books they will be reading that night. Some teachers are using pieces of paper or thin work books for students to take home.One of the best answers is, as some children said, to have no homework at all!53.
