2014高考英语阅读理解基础训练极品题（17）及答案阅读理解------Yao Yunchun, a 24-year-old author who frequently shops online in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, has never been so impatient for her parcels as she is now. She has been counting every day while she waits for the products she ordered to arrive, as many deliveries have been delayed over the past month.“It took more than a week for one of my parcels to arrive from Beijing while, in the past, it took only four days,”said Yao.She is just one of the many who like shopping on Ta , the country’s largest online shopping site, which has posted apologetic announcements to customers for the delays in deliveries.“Many parcels are still at the airport and cannot be delivered on time, but I think I will do my best.”Taobao clothes retailer(零售商) IM Shop said on its website. Meanwhile, major express delivery companies in China have put up notices saying they are ready to cope with the delay in recent days.“It was mainly caused by a big increase in online shopping orders because of discounts offered by e-commerce companies,”said Chen Shousong, an analyst with domestic research company Analysis International.Taobao Mall, the country’s largest business-to-customer shopping site by market share, for example, rolled out a large-scale discount on November 11 in which 150 brands sold their products at half price. The discount attracted the attention of many e-shopping enthusiasts who spent 936 million yuan( $ 142 million) in just one day. The recent shortage of diesel oil, which restricts de livery vehicles’ capacity, and bad weather conditions in North China, also added to an already overloaded express delivery market.Bottlenecks in delivery often appear before long holidays, such as the coming Christmas and New Year holidays and the Chinese traditional Spring Festival holiday. Delivery employees often quit their jobs at that time when faced with lots of work and low pay. So some express delivery companies are applying to build their own teams, even airlines.64.

阅读理解---C(2013·太原市二模，B)MARCH 05, 2013TOKYO (AFP)—A father froze to death while sheltering his nineyearold daughter from severe weekend snowstorms that swept northern Japan. Mikio Okada, one of at least nine people killed as snowstorms swept across Hokkaido (北海道), died as he tried to protect his only child Natsune against winds of up to 109 kilometers per hour in Yubetsu, Hokkaido, as temperatures fell sharply to minus 6 degrees centigrade.Okada's body was uncovered by rescuers looking for the pair after relatives raised the alarm. Natsune was wearing her father's jacket and was wrapped in his arms. The pair had last been heard from at 4 p. m. on Saturday, after fisherman Okada picked his daughter up from a school where she was being looked after while he was at work. Okada called his relatives to say his truck had become stuck in the driving snow, which was several meters deep in places. He told them he and Natsune would walk the remaining kilometre. The two were found just 300 meters from the truck at 7 a．m. on Sunday.Okada had his body bent over his daughter, gently holding her in his arms and apparently using his body and a warehouse wall to provide shelter. The small girl was taken to hospital, where she was found to have no serious injuries. Her father was officially pronounced dead by doctors at the same hospital.The newspaper Yomiuri said Natsune's mother had died of illness two years earlier. The paper quoted neighbors as saying Okada had been an extremely caring father who would often delay the start of his working day to enjoy breakfast with his daughter.His death came as families all over Japan celebrated Girls' Day, a festival inwhich they gather at home and decorate houses with dolls. “He reserved a cake for his only daughter and was looking forward to celebrating Dolls' Festival together，”a neighbor told the Yomiuri.文章大意：本文是一篇新闻报道。

高考英语阅读理解训练17 - 现代文阅读及答案-17China’s government has issued a severe weather warning after the heaviest snowfalls in decades. The country is experiencing transport delays and power cuts as millions of people prepare to make long journeys home for the Chinese New Year. This report from Quentin Summerville: China hasn’t experienced weather this bad in decades. And as the country prepares for Chinese New Year, the disruption couldn’t come at a worse time. Over 100,000 people are stranded(搁浅) in Guangzhou railway station in the south. It may climb to as many as 600,000 as more people arrive to make their journeys home for the Spring Festival. Travellers have been evacuated to nearby sports stadiums and exhibition centres.Across China around nineteen airports have shut because of the weather. Around half the provinces in the country have had to start rationing power(定量供电), according to the state media. The government has suspended（暂停）coal exports in favour of home consumption. At least a dozen people died over the weekend because of heavy rains and the snowfall.The Spring Festival is China’s most important holiday when people journey home to be with their families. For millions of thecountry’s migrant workers it’s their only holiday. Some two billion journeys were made during the festival last year, making it the largest migration of people on the planet. And even without the severe weather, conditions on overcrowded trains and buses are terrible. The holiday stretches China’s transport system to its very limits1.

高考英语阅读理解冲刺满分训练17(含解析)
2014高考英语阅读理解冲刺满分训练（17）阅读理解Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight.A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are lea rning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ‘dog’, and dogs can learn how to talk ‘Cat’.What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sl eeping together on the sofa. They can easilyshare the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets-to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.( ) 1. The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.A. earlyB. sweetlyC. quicklyD. smoothly( ) 2. Some cats and dogs may fight when ______.A. they are cold to each otherB. they look away from each otherC. they misunderstood each other’s signalsD. they are introduced at an early age( ) 3. What is found surprising about cats and dogs?A. They eat and sleep each other.B. They observe each other’s behaviors.C. They learn to speak each other’s language.D. They know something from each other’s voices.( ) 4. It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ______.A. have common interestsB. are less different than was thoughtC. have a common body languageD. are less intelligent than was expected( ) 5. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A. We should learn to live in harmony.B. We should know more about animals.C. We should live in peace with animals.D. We should learn more body languages.这是一篇说明文，通过对猫狗和平相处的研究，让我们知道，人类应该和谐相处。

China said that Arafat is the true leader , elected by the Palestinian people , and removing him would harm the peace in the Middle East .

B.Interesting. C．Satisfactory. D．Doubtful.(B)A new period is coming. Call it what you will: the service industry, the information age, the knowledge society. It all translates to a great change in the way we work. Already we’re partly there, the- 1 -percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen sharply in the Western World. Today the majority of jobs in America, Europeand Japan (two thirds or more are in many of these countries) are in theservice industry, and the number is on the rise. More women are in the workforce than ever before. There are more part-time jobs. More people are self-employed. But the breath of the great change can’t be measured by numbersalone, because it also is giving rise to new way of thinking about the natureof work itself. Long-held opinions about jobs and careers, the skills neededto succeed, even the relation between workers and employers-all these arebeing doubted.We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead. No one looking ahead 20 years possibly could have seen the ways in which a single invention, the chip(芯片), would change our world thanks to its uses in personal computers, and factory equipment. Tomorrow’s achievements in biotechnology or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of great changes. But one thing is certain: information and knowledgewill become even more important, and the people who own it, whether they workin factories or services, will have the advantage and produce the wealth. Computer knowledge will become as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write. The ability to deal with problems by making use of information instead of performing regular tasks will be valued above all else. If you look ahead 10 years, information service will be leading the way. It will be theway you do your job.61．Information age means _____________. A．the service industry is depending more and more on women workers B．heavy industries are rapidly increasing C．people find it harder and harder to earn a living by working in factories D．most of the job chances can now be found in the service industry. 62．Knowledge society brings about a great change that __________. A．the difference between the workers and employers has become smaller B．people’s old ideas about work no longer exist C．most people have to take part-timejobs D．people have to change their jobs from time to time 63．What doesthe author mean by referring to computers and other inventions? A．People should be able to act quickly to the advancement of technology. B．Future achievements in technology will bring about big changes. C．The importance of high technology has been paid no attention to. D．Computer science will playa leading role in the future information services. 64．The future willprobably belong to those who _________. A．own and know how to make use of information B．can read and write well C．devote themselves to service industries D．look ahead instead of looking back(C)One of the United States’ social problems is the breakdown of the two-parent family. Today, millions of American children grow up without fathers. Too often, these children lack the love and help they badly need and whichthey would ordinarily receive from not one but two parents. In the old days, American parents placed the needs of their children above their own. At present, however, nearly one half of all new marriages end in divorce(离婚), with often troubling results for their children. Worse, every year, thousands of teenage, unmarried Americans become mothers outside marriage, with generally terrible results for the mothers and children alike and for American society more generally. However, Chinese continue to value whole marriages. This is not to say that Chinese marriages are all perfect-they certainly are not, judging from increasing rates of divorce and extramarital affairs－but the willingness of Chinese to set aside their own needs and stay together for the sake of the children is admirable and worthy of study. Families, in whatever form they may take, are important to Americans. If one was to ask a group of Americans what is dearest to them, the majority wouldsay“family”.And yet, so many Americans spend- 2 -much more time at work-that is, beyond the formal forty-hour work week-than they do with their own families. Obviously, the USA is one of the most powerful in the world, owing in large measure to“workaholism”（工作狂）.It seems to me that Chinese generally find a better balance between work and family needs than many Americans do. I don’t see the number of workaholics in China that I do in the United States（or American organizations inChina）.Instead, average Chinese usually head home right after work（in the office or field），have meals together, and spend time with their family members. What’s more, Chinese try to make more time for grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins than many Americans; in many cases, multigenerational families live together.

Learning to use the controls is easy and comes quickly, and you can measurethe results in terms of sharp and correctly developed pictures. Once you have mastered that, you can start on the second step of your photographic work. Using these basic skills in a wide variety of situations to give the pictures you want, noticing what you see through the viewfinder and turning that intothe most effective picture becomes totally interesting.All good photographs have one thing in common; there is no doubt what the subject of the picture is meant to be. Every photographer must use those same standards to his or her work, not only to the finished results but to the subject before he or she takes it. Always work out quite clearly what the subject of the picture is to be and why you are taking the picture. For example,“I am going to take a picture of this street to show the differentstyles and ages of the buildings and that people have been living, working and shopping in them since time began.”By doing this you have a better idea of what to include in the picture and what to leave out. How often have you been shown photographs taken by people away on a trip somewhere? The judgment is always similar, something about“the car park is out of the picture to the left”, or“you can’t quite see from thi s picture but if you go up the street”. The- 3 -photographs are usually collections of buildings, people, parked cars, possibly a distant look of an ancient church, and best of all, a figure which you are told is Aunt Henrietta, disappearing in the middle distance. When photographers show you their pictures, they have a clear idea of what they want to bring to your attention, but it often does not appear in the picture. If they had given just a little of their time to think about their future judgment before taking the picture, then the picture would relate its own story. Good pictures can show their subjects quickly and easily.69．What does the author mean by saying“in many ways, the earliest periods of photography are themost satisfying”? A．The skills of photography are not as satisfactory nowadays as beforeB．The earliest pictures were the best pictures people have ever taken C．The present-day photography depends more on technology than on artD．Learning to produce a sharp and correctly developed picture is only the first step in photographyand is easily learned.70．What will it bring you if you decide the purpose of the photograph in advance? A．Allows you to leave out unnecessary material B．Allows you to stand in the best placeC．Helps you to vary the subjects of your pictures D．Means you waste less time. 71．Many photographers fail because . A.their pictures include the buildings and people B.the details are not clear in their pictures C．the subjects of their pictures are not obviousD．the explanation given for their pictures is mistaken 72．What book is this passage most likely taken from?

All the road markings and signs are shown in two languages—English and Welsh (威尔士语). Not all visitors to Britain know that other languages are spoken here. There's the Gaelic (盖尔语) language in Scotland and a few people speak Cornish (康沃尔语) in the southwest ofEngland, but the most widely spoken language in the UK besides English is Welsh.Perhaps the first Welsh word you'll see on the road into Wales is ARAF. There's a helpful English translation next to it—SLOW. As you can see, Welsh looks quite different from English. It sounds very different, too. Welsh looks and sounds so different from English because it's a Celtic language. Celtic cultures still exist around the edges of the UK—in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and also in parts of France. For hundreds of years, almost everyone in Wales spoke Welsh, but nowadays there are about 600 thousand Welsh speakers—around 20% of the population.So is Welsh dying out? Not at all! Nowadays, all school children in Wales study Welsh and many choose to go to an all Welshspeaking school. You can get public information in Welsh, speak Welsh in court or take a course at university in Welsh. People surf the Internet in Welsh, keep up with friends on Facebook and write blogs in Welsh.By the way，“Croeso I Gymru！” means “Welcome to Wales！”—I hope you'll be able to visit it one day.文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。
