He usually spent his break time and his lunchtime collecting used tin (金属盒).One day, I was fixing one of the broken machines in the factory when this “tin man” came with ___38____.

Since then, he has had to depend on his younger brother. He became his shadow (影子)， never leaving his side for years. Except for writing with his toes, he was unable to do anything else. As the two brothers grew up together, they had their own problems and would often quarrel. Then one day, his younger brother went away and lived alone. The boy was heart-broken and didn’t know what to do.A similar thing happened to a girl. One night, the girl was preparing dinner when it caused a fire. The fire took her hands away. Though her elder sister wanted to take care of her, she refused. At school, she studied hard. She learned to be self-reliant. “I am lucky. Though my hands are broken, my heart can still fly,” she wrote on her blog.One day, the boy and the girl were both invited to be interviewed for a TV program. The boy told the TV host about this uncertain future, while the girl was full of love for her life. They were both asked to write something on a piece of paper with their toes. The boy wrote: “ My younger brother’s arms are my arms.” While the girl wrote: “Broken wings, flying heart.”They had both gone through the same hard times, but their different attitudes decided the nature of their lives. It is true that life is unexpected. Disasters (灾难) can strike at any time. How do you deal with the misfortune (不幸) when faced with it is the test of your character.46.What happened to the boy?A He hurt his hands in a fire.B He lost his arms in an accident.C He left his brother and lived alone.D He caused a fire while preparing dinner.47.What’s the difference between the boy and the girl?A The girl studied hard at school while the boy didin’tB The boy worried about his future while the gi rl didn’t.C The boy lived with his brother while the girl with her sisterD The girl was interviewed for a TV program while the boy wasn’t48 What does the underlined word in the second paragraph mean in Chinese?A 自立的 B. 自信的 C. 自尊的 D. 自爱的49.What do you think of the girl?A Shy B. Brave C. Proud D. Kind50.What does the passage want to tell us?A Disasters happen unexpectedly sometimes.B Love your life and you’ll have a bright future.C People need to be taken care of after disasters.D People’s attitudes towards difficulties change their livesBWe cannot remember clearly since when we have started to take our mobiles to a dinner table. This happens a lot, especially when we eat out. Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our mobiles and click (咔哒). Later, we post the photos onto microblog or WeChat, waiting to be liked”. Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal to see whether we get “liked” or not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal.Does that sound familiar (熟悉的) to you? Do you do that often? If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you?A recent study suggests that what we are used to doing is not that good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less satisfying. To test this, some researchers did an experiment. Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. It turned out that the more photos they took, the less delicious the food seemed to them. So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you?Besides the scientific result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. After posting the photos onto the internet, one will involuntarily (不自觉地) check his mobile many times. “ Does everyone like my photos? I hope a lot of people like them!” It seems like your mobile secretly calls your name all the time, even when you are with real people.So, next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people around you. Trust me. It will be a wonderful time.51 What happens a lot at the dinner table nowadays?A People talk about their microblogs or WeChat.B People learn from each other how to cook dishes.C People like taking photos with friends or families.D People take photos of dishes and post them before eating.52 What does the recent study tell us about taking photos of food?A It makes people stay long. B. It makes food less deliciousC.It makes people want to leave.D. It makes people enjoy the food53. What does the fourth paragraph talk about?A. The reasons for checking your mobiles.B. The ways of posting the photos onto the internet.C. Other bad influences of taking photos before meals.D. The tips of making others like your photos on the microblog.54. What does the writer think of taking photos of food?A. FunnyB. HelpfulC. NecessaryD. Unacceptable55. What can we learn from the passage?A. Remember to have dinner with our family and friends at home.B. forget the photos and enjoy the life with people around us.C. take photos of delicious food and share them with othersD. Take photos of food in order to have a wonderful life.CWorld’s magical citiesParis, FranceParis probably has more familiar landmarks (地标) than any other city in the world. The Eiffel Tower, Triumphal Arch and Note Dame de Paris top of the list is its new changes in recent years. Paris used to be one of Europe’s busiest cities with cars crowed on the road. But now there is a new 2.5-kilometer-long car-free zone inside the city. And that’s not all; a gold “flying carpet” roof makes the Louvre’s (卢浮宫) new Islamic art exhibi tion attractive to tourists. The world’s most beautiful city is now even more beautiful.Auckland, New Zealand Tired of busy school life? Auckland may give you a chance to relax. Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand. It attracts people by its natural sceneries. Beaches are usually yellow or white. But in the west of Auckland, the sand of beaches is surprisingly black. What’s more, Auckland sits on top of a volcanic (火山的) field that includes 48 cones. Many of the volcanoes are not active. They offer panoramic (全景的) views of the whole city.Shanghai, China As China’s economic center,Shanghai develops at a lighting speed! In the early 1990s in Pudong, there was nothing but farmland. But now,the city is well known for its record-setting skyscrapers (摩天大楼). The 121-stored-tall Shanghai Tower will be the tallest building in China, and the second tallest in the world. Besides modern buildings, traditional lanes, or longtang (弄堂) in Chinese, reflect local culture. If you want to find out what the old Shanghai looks like, take a walk in longtang to get a good idea.56 What do you think makes Paris top of the list?A. Its world famous landmarksB. Its busiest streets full of carsC. Its art exhibition in the Louvre’sD. Its great changes in recent years57 What does the underlined sentence mean?A. People can’t park their cars in the zoneB. People can’t drive their cars in the zoneC. People can drive their cars freely in the zoneD. People can park their cars for free in the zone.58 What do you know about Shanghai according to the passage?A. It is China’s economic center.B. It has the world’s tallest buildingC. What old Shanghai looks like can’t be found out thereD. Traditional lanes have been turned into modern buildings59 Why do you think people travel to Auckland?A. To study volcanoes.B. To end busy school lifeC. To enjoy the black beachD. To visit the world’s biggest city60 What is the passage about?A. The introduction of some of the top cities for travelers in 2014B. The customs and cultures of different countries in the world.C. The suggestions for travelers choosing destinations.D. The possible ways of getting to different cities.D.Can you believe that plastic bottles and water can create light? __61___.

But there is a secret hiding in the water ---leach. He drills (钻)a hole in his roof and then pushes the filled bottle in. ___62____.

Jenny told me I shouldn’t worry about the scar.One day we were riding home from school on the bus. A boy named Jordan made fun of me about my scar. This went on for about a month.

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.

When he reached the middle of the bridge, he thought he could hear someone coming near b 1 him. He looked back but could see no one. However, the sound continued and Frank began to walk more quickly. Then he slowed down again, feeling ashamed at having acted so foolishly. There was n 2 to fear in a town as quiet as this.Just then, he heard short, quick steps. By the time he reached the other side of the bridge, he could almost feel someone at his heels. He turned round and there stood a man dressed in a large overcoat. A hat was pulled down over his eyes and very l 3 of his face could be seen. Frank said something about the weather, trying to sound friendly and c 4 .

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).

However, people in the United States learned to make hamburgers from Germans. The Germans got the idea from Russia.In the thirteenth century the Tartar people from Central Asia moved into Russia and parts of Europe. They fought the Russians and won. They ate something like hamburger meat, but it was raw. This raw meat was beef, lamb, goat meat, or horsemeat. Soon the Russians started to eat raw meat too. Germans from Hamburg and other northern cities learned to eat this food from the Russians. However, they added salt, pepper, a raw egg, and then cooked it.Between 1830 and 1900 thousands of Germans went to live in the United States. They took the hamburger with them. People called it hamburger steak.In 1904 at the World's Fair in St. Louis, a man from Texas sold hamburger steak in a roll. Then people could eat it with their hands, like a sandwich. This was the first real hamburger like the hamburgers we eat today.。

AIt's wonderful to go to another country, complete a volunteer project and feel that you really have a positive influence. But how can you become an international volunteer?* Plan practically. Contact the organization a few months before leaving and find out if there are materials which are rare and hard to attain for the project. What you often consider plentiful here, such as nails or hammers, is in great need in other parts of the world.* Do the project together, not on your own. You are a guest in the community. The most successful result is not that you build something and walk away, but that you and the community build something as a team. Share skills and build together.* Be flexible. Not everything is going to happen as planned. Often the other country doesn't have the right tools, manpower, transportation or funds to get all the needed work done. In a word, they lack infrastructure(基础设施).* Contact with the people in the community. Often you will have "downtime" outside of the range of the project. Rather than retreat to the group with whom you traveled, be sure to spend time with the people of the community. Listen to the things about their lives. If you can't speak the language, smiles work wonders. And you will be surprised ― you will find a way to community.V olunteering is a special and life-long experience for everyone involved.

That's the situation presented to Sam, Kelsey, Judy and Brenton in Dan Gutman's entertaining new book for young readers, The Home Machine.The four children, all fifth graders in Miss Rasmussen's class at Grand Canyon School, are as different as any other 11-year-old child could be, but they have one thing in common —all are somewhat separated from their classmates. Sam is a newcomer and has had his share of school trouble before; Kelsey quietly carries her pain at losing her father; Judy's sense of justice always annoys others; Brenton is the smartest child in the school, so smart that even his parents and teachers have trouble keeping up with him. When Brenton and his three classmates are put into the same study group by their teacher, the others discover that Brenton has made a time-saving gadget(装置) to do homework for him. While the boy is perfectly able to do his homework himself, Sam, Kelsey and Judy can use the help.Having perfect grades is something new for these three, and as they meet every day to "do homework", they find that they're learning a lot about each other. Such a good thing can't last though, and when a secret man starts trying to get in touch with them, they begin to get nervous. Soon there's an even more frightening problem ― why can't the Homework Machine be turned off?Told in different voices as all the children make statements to the Grand Canyon Police, the story develops in an interesting fashion. Gutman is a gifted writer who has written dozens of children's books, each with a funny and impressing table that should be equally liked by boys and girls.24.

This passage most probably comes from .A. a student's diaryB. a book reviewC. a school reportD. a science storyCScientists have been puzzled by the phenomenon that migrating birds fly not just in groups all the time, but in "V" formations and they have tried to figure out what benefit birds get from this particular formation. Now, a research group from University of London may have found the answer ― migrating birds fly in a "V" to save energy, according to a study published in the journal Nature.When a bird flaps(振翅) its wings, it stirs the air around it and causes it to move indifferent directions. Scientist found in the study that the air creates an upward-moving wave at the tips of the wings, which means that if a bird flies around the wingtips of another bird, it can get a boost（抬高）from the rising air and therefore use less energy to stay in the air.Apart form the "free ride" strategy, scientists were also surprised to observe that migrating birds timed their wing beats and adjusted their positions in a very precise way to maximize the lifting effect while avoiding areas where the air move downward."They're able to sense what's going on from the bird in front, where this 'good air' is coming from and now how to position themselves perfectly in it," lead researcher Steven Portugal told BBC.In fact, the "V" formation has long thought to help birds fly more efficiently(效率搞地). A previous study showed that birds' heart rates went down when they were flying together in a "V" formation. Jet fighters were also found to be able reduce their energy use by up to 18% by staying near the wingtips ofother jet fighters. Both of these findings led scientists to suspect that the "V" formation had an efficiency purpose, but until now they still lack proof."For scientists, the new study provides an insight into an interesting natural phenomenon. But it could mean even more for aircraft companies — helping them understand how they can imitate that with their plane formations to save fuel, said Portugal."28. What is the author's purpose in writing this article?A. To explain how birds benefit from migration.B. To introduce how migrating birds find their way.C. To tell some applications of migrating birds' "V" formations.D. To report new findings about migrating birds' "V" formations.29. According to the recent study, when birds migrate .A. they don't change their lead birds during the whole journeyB. they fly in "V" formations to protect themselves against enemiesC. they form the shape of a "V" to make best use of the lifting effectD. the air they stir around makes it hard for the birds behind to fly fast30. What is the significance of the new study according to this article?A. It might inspire aircraft companies to think of ways to improve efficiency.B. It has proved that the "V" formation can improve in efficiency in many fields,C. It has led scientists to discover that birds' heart rates go down when they fly in a "V".D. It shows that the best formation of jet fighters in battle should be a "V" formation.31. The underlined word "imitate" in the last paragraph most probably means " ".A. useB. copyC. changeD. learnDFacebook (脸谱网) friends cannot replace the real thing, say psychologists(心理学家).People are happier and laugh 50% more when they talk face to face with friends or via webcam (web camera) than when they use social networking sites, a study has found.Dr. Roberts, a famous lecture at the University of Chester, said such websites don't appear to help make true friendships. Based on two questionnaires(调查表), he found there was no link between Facebook use and people with larger groups of friends.Dr. Roberts, whose work will be presented at the British Psychological Society conference in Harrogate, said, "The bottom lime conclusion is that our relationships are not dependent on the quantity of communication. They depend on quality, and even Skype(一种网络即时语音沟通工具) is better at increasing the quality of our communication than time on Facebook." Even talking on the phone or texting does not make people feel as good as sharing a smile, the research says. The studies suggest quality, not quantity, of communication is the most important for keeping friends for life.People find the most satisfying relationships come from a small number of close friends, with an outer "ring" of 10 significant others. With these people, it doesn't matter what type of social media you use for communication. But people who want to "contact the world at large" using Facebook can be disappointed because they spread themselves too thinly, claim researchers.In a third study, Dr. Roberts asked people to communicate with friends face to face or via Skype and keep a 14-day diary. This was compared with communicating via phone, text messages or social networking sites. People communicating face to face on Skype were 50% more likely to laugh, and they rated themselves as significantly happier.32. Dr. Roberts's finding that there was no connection between Facebook use and people with many friends was .A. based on questionnairesB. based on conversationsC. through instant messagesD. through social media33. What is the idea of the fourth paragraph?A. Most people contact each other online.B. Keeping a friend for life is not easy.C. The quality of communication is important.D. Skype is better at understanding us than Facebook.34. What does the underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph probably suggest?A. They are too excited to express themselves.B. They limit their social circle to a small range.C. They spread their information at a low speed.D. They lack information to introduce themselves.35. What is Dr. Roberts's attitude towards the use of Facebook?A. Positive.B. Casual.C. Responsible.D. Unsupportive.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分；满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
