2014高考英语阅读理解精英定时练习题（21）及答案阅读理解------ A篇The easy way out isn't always easiest. I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal. I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time, I started on it as soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything. As Doug loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was a sticky dough (面团) covered with ugly yellowish marks . Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing at my work. I went on preparing the rest of the meal and, when Doug got home, we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the windows to see what he was doing. Looking out, I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母) made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing . I had to admit what the "living thing" was and why it was there. I don't know who was more embarrassed by the whole thing--- Doug or me.46. The writer's purpose in writing this story is ________.A. to tell an interesting experienceB. to show the easiest way out of a difficultyC. to describe the trouble facing a newly married womanD. to explain the difficulty of learning to cook from books47. Why did the woman's attempt at making the bread turn out to be unsuccessful?A. The canned orange had gone bad.B. She didn't use the right kind of flour.C. The cookbook was hard to understand.D. She did not follow the directions closely.48. Why did the woman put the dough in the rubbish bin?A. She didn't see the use of keeping itB. She meant to joke with her husband.C. She didn't want her husband to see it.D. She hoped it would soon dry in the sun.49. What made the dough in the bin look frightening?A. The rising and falling movement.B. The strange-looking marks.C. Its shape.D. Its size.50. When Doug went out the third time, the woman looked out of the window because she was_____.A. surprised at his being interested in the binB. afraid that he would discover her secretC. unhappy that he didn't enjoy the mealD. curious to know what disturbed him参考答案46---50、ADCAD（14）Surinamese military(苏里南军事的) strongman General Desi Bouterse announced on December 31, 1990 that he had taken over(接收) the army command with the agreement of the new president.

【广东省肇庆二高2021三模】AEvery few years, two groups do a study of how many Americans wash their hands after using the toilet. These groups are the American Society for Microbiology and the American Cleaning Institute, formerly the Soap and Detergent Association.There was good news in the latest study. Researchers found that eighty-five percent of adults washed their hands in public restrooms last month. That was the most yet since the studies began in nineteen ninety-six.Researchers visited restrooms at a baseball park in Atlanta and a science museum and aquarium in Chicago. They also visited two train stations in New Y ork City and a large farmers market in San Francisco. In all, they observed about six thousand adults.The researchers found that seventy-seven percent of men and ninety-three percent of women washed their hands. That was up from sixty-six percent of men and eighty-eight percent of women in the last study three years ago.Chicago and San Francisco had the most hand washers -- eighty-nine percent of adults. Atlanta followed at eighty-two percent. New York had the lowest rate, at seventy-nine percent of the adults observed at Grand Central Station and Penn Station.The findings of the observational study conflicted with the findin gs of a separate telephone survey of about one thousand people. Ninety-six percent of them said they always wash their hands after using public restrooms. Almost nine out of ten also said they always wash after using the bathroom at home.Hand washing can help prevent the spread of many different infections. To clean your hands well, wet them first and rub in soap for at least twenty seconds, including between the fingers and under the nails. Then rinse under running water. In a public restroom, if you dry your hands with a paper towel, you should also use the towel to shut off the water and open the door.26. What is the good news in the latest study?A. Almost all of the Americans wash their hands after using the toilet.B. There are more people washing their hands in the toilet than before.C. More than four-fifths of American adults wash their hands after using the restrooms.D.

Many doctors, together with their patients, are looking for alternative methods of treatment of physical problems. In large hosp itals, modern therapy〔疗法〕 seems to focus on the physical disease. Patients may feel they are treated like broken machines. Some doctors have recognized this as a problem. They are now using psychological therapy, in which the patient is working with the doctors against the disease with the help of medicine. The patient does not wait for the medicine and treatment to cure him or her, but instead the patient joins in the fig ht.The doctor knows that a disease affects a patient's body physically. The body of the patient changes because of the disease. He is not only physically affected, but also has an emotional response to the disease. Because his mind is affected, his attitude and behavior change. The medical treatment might cure the patient's physical problems, but the patient's mind must fight the emotional ones. For example, the studies of one doctor, Carl Simonton, M. D., have shown that a typical cancer patient has predictable attitudes. She typically feels depressed, upset, and angry. Her constant depression makes her acts unfriendly toward her family, friends, doctors, and nurses. Such attitudes and behaviors prevent recovery. Therefore, a doctor's treatment must help the patient change that. Simonton's method emphasizes treatment of the “whole〞 patient.Physicians have learned that the psychological method is very useful in treating children. Children respond quickly to the treatment because they are fascinated by it. For example, Dr. Basil R. Collison has worked with 121 asthmatic children in Sydney, Australia, and had good results. Twenty-five of the children had Excellent results. They were able to breathe more easily, and they did not need medication. Another forty-three were also helped. The symptoms of the asthma occurred less frequently, and when they did, they were not as strong. Most of the children also felt better about themselves. Doctors have also used suggestion to change habits like nail-biting, thumb-sucking, and sleep-related problems.Many professional medical groups have accepted the medical use of psychology and that psychology has important applications in medicine.15. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How to use the mind against disease.B. How modern therapy focuses on the disease.C. Responses from the medical world.D. How suggestion therapy benefits adults and children.16. How does psychological therapy work?B. The doctor uses medical treatment to cure the patient's problems.C. The doctor, the medicine, and the patient work together t o fight disease.D. The patient use s his mind to cure himself.17. What can we learn from the studies of Carl Simonton, M. D.?A. The medical treatment can cure the patient's mental disease.B. The treatment of a patient by treating the body and the mind is necessary.C. The mental treatment is more important than medical treatment.D. Few patients have emotional response to the disease.18. The use of psychological therapy is helpful to some patients in that .A. the medical effect is better with psychological therapy than without itB. the patients can see a powerful beam of radiation hitting their tumor cellsC. the patients' attitudes towards themselves have changedD. the patients are easy to accept the methods the doctors use to treat them19. It can be learned from the passage that suggestion therapy cannot be used to .A. help adults deal with the strong pain of some diseasesB. help the patients with chronic diseasesC. help change some bad habitsD. help cure patients of insomnia〔失眠症〕20. According to the passage, which of the following remains unknown so far?A. The value of mental therapy.B. The effectiveness of suggestion therapy.C. The working principle of suggestion therapy.D. The importance of psychology in medical treatment.参考答案 15-20 ACBCDC【广东省肇庆二高2021三模】BThe reason for newspapers dominance in web journalism, Stovall points out, is that they put the biggest money in news. “The Birmingham News, for example, with about 175 positions, has more journalists on its payroll than all of the state’s broadcast, cable, and web.〞31．What is the best title for the passage?A．Internet won’t get rid of print media B．Internet challenges traditional mediaC．Looking national local news on the web D．Journalism should be dominated by web32．What is the author’s attitude towards the future of traditional media?

A．people prefer traditional media when looking for newsB．old media have the most important position in local marketsD．few people go to websites to get national and local news【参考答案】31-35 ADBCD阅读理解Why is America lagging behind in the global PR race? First, Americans as a whole tend to be fairly provincial and take more of an interest in local affairs. Knowledge of world geography, for example, has never been strong in this country. Secondly, Americans lag behind their European and Asian counterparts (相对应的人) in knowing a second language. Less than 5 percent of Burson-Marshall’s U.S. employees know two languages. Ogilvy and Mather has about the same percentage. Conversely, some European firms have half or more of their employees fluent in a second language. Finally, peopleinvolved in PR abroad tend to keep a closer eye on international affairs. In the financial PR area, for instance, most Americans read the Wall Street Journal. Overseas, their counterparts read the Journal as well as the Financial Times of London and The Economist, publications not often read in this country.51. According to the passage, U.S. leadership in public relations is being threatened because _______.C. the decreasing number of multinational corporations in the U.S.D. increased efforts of other countries in public relations52. London could soon replace New York as the center of PR because ________.D. Four of the world’s top public relations agencies are British-owned53. The word “provincial〞 in Para.3 most probably means“________.〞A. limited in outlook B) like people from the provincesC. rigid in thinking D) interested in world financial affairs54. We learn from the third paragraph that employees in the American PR industry ________.A. speak at least one foreign language flu entlyB. are ignorant about world geographyC. are not as sophisticated as their European counterpartsD. enjoy reading a great variety of English business publicationsC. People working in PR should be more fluent in foreign languages.D. People involved in PR should avoid using the word “foreign〞.参考答案 51-55DBACA。

高考英语阅读理解精英准时练习题（8）阅读理解 ------A篇For a while, my ne ighborhood was taken ever by an army of joggers(慢跑者). They werethere all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladiesin gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-ag ed men with red faces.“Come on! ” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every ev ening. “You’ll feel great.”Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day,anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life,and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form ofexercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. I’m not alone in my opini on.First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet a real pounding（追击） ruining down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and backproblems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attackwhile jogging, and I had something else to worry about. J ogging doesn’t kill hundredsof people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring themout, as they did with me.Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of theother for forty- five minutes isn ’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say,“I love being out there with just my thoughts”Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn’t justthe first week: it was practically every day for two months. I never got past thepain level, and pain isn ’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises,including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?I don ’t jog any more, and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two milesthree times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when theweather is good. I ’m getting exercise, and I ’m enjoyi ng it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I ’ve found a lot o f better ways to stay in shape. 46. From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer’s neighborhood ______.A. jogging became very popularB. people jogged only during the daytimeC. Alex organized an army of joggersD. jogging provided a chance to get together47. The underlined word“them”(Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _____.A. heart attacksB. Back problemsC. famous joggersD.physical weaknesses48. What was the writer’s attitude towards jogging in the beginning?A. He felt it was worth a try.B. He was very fond of it.C. He was strongly against it.D. He thought it must be painful.49.Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?A. He disliked doing exercise outside.B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting.C. He was afraid of having a heart attack.D.He was worried about being left alone.50.From the writer ’s experience, we can conclude that______. A.not everyone enjoys joggingB. he is the only person who hates joggingC. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fitD. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport.参照答案46— 50、 ADABA阅读理解In China, more and more middle school students are getting shorter sleeping time than before.

【广东省中山市2013模拟（2）】 AThe father’s role in the family is important. One researcher says babies cared for by their fathers have greater cognitive (认知的) development at one year of age than babies not cared for by their fathers. Another expert reports that by spending time with their pre-school children, fathers can help to develop children’s language ability. Researchers also point out that for school-age children, fathers are one link with the outside world.Fathers who value education have children who do better in school than those children whose fathers don’t value education. What’s more, fathers who spend quality time with their children may give their children happy memories which may last a lifetime.While each father is a unique person who educates children in his own style, good fathers have something in common.Good fathers attend their children’s school activities. They also involve the children in their lives and the adult world by taking them to see the workplace, or by taking them when the car needs to be repaired, etc.Good fathers expect a great deal from their children, but also accept and support the unique individuals that their children are becoming.Good fathers rely on explanations and reasoning rather than force.Good fathers know their time with children is really an investment (投资) in them. Being an involved father is good for children and good for fathers. Both children and fathers have the opportunity for growth and development. Today’s lifestyles are changing. More and more fathers are balancing their personal life, work, and family time.26. The passage is mainly about .A. how to be a qualified fatherB. the growth and development of both fathers and childrenC. the father’s role in the growth and development of childrenD. the changing of the father’s role in modern society27. According to the passage, we can find that .A. fathers have an important influence on their children from infancy through adulthoodB. fathers’ involvement is the most important factor in children’s developmentC. all fathers have the same way of educating their childrenD. fathers are more important than mothers in the family28. The underlined part in the third paragraph means “a person who ”.A. has the same ideas as othersB. is the only one of his typeC. does everything without considering others’ opinionsD. tries to do everything well29. Which of the following statements is CORRECT according to the passage?A. Good fathers attend their children’s school activities but never take themto their workplace.B.

2014高考英语阅读理解精英定时训练题（24）及答案【广东省肇庆二高2013三模】CMany parents try hard to protect their kids from TV and Internet advertising. But how can you protect a child from a giant fast-food ad painted on her school locker? Or a toy on the side of his school bus?As school budgets get smaller, a growing number of schools around the country are selling, or selling, advertising space on lockers, buses, gyms or cafeterias. It is an easy way for schools to make money. And ads may provide a relief for parents exhausted by running fundraiser after fundraiser or making cash donations to prop up schools.While parents can always turn off the tube or the laptop, however, they can’t block out advertising allowed into a school. This isn’t the first time the issue has come up. For example, a news program for teens has been criticized for including ads in its 12-minute classroom broadcasts. And parents’ groups successfully fought a plan by a company called Bus Radio to put music and ads into school buses.But now things are different. Just last month, Los Angeles approved a plan to allow companies to advertise in the district’s schools. Officials say the plan could provide as much as $18 million for the schools.In St. Francis, Minn., schools recently agreed to cover 10% to 15% of their lockers with ads. Time says. Edward Saxton, a teacher in the school, says, “So far, parents are accepting this as a way to bring in needed money. The money pays for programs like arts, sports and music. Parents don’t like to see programs getting cut. Neither do I. Besides, schools are thinking about the effects on kids all the time.”However, Susan Linn, an educational expert, says, “Kids have already seen enough ads on TV, in magazines and the products they use daily. School is no place for advertisements at all.”Readers, what about you? Would you rather help run yet another school fundraiser, or expose your child to ads on lockers and buses? Is keeping ads out of schools worth raising taxes, or increasing your own cash support through donations?36. Schools allow ads into schools to ________.A. reduce parents’ burdenB. solve their financial problemsC. offer kids a wide choice of goodsD. improve their students’ living conditions37. Edward Saxton holds the view that __________.A. schools choose ads carefullyB. ads in schools shouldn’t be too manyC. schools should be a place free from adsD. in-school ads do no harm to young kids38. How do parents feel about in-school advertising according to Edward Saxton?A. It is bad for kids’ health.B. It should be encouraged.C. It is interesting.D. It is acceptable.39. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The bad effect of ads on kids.B. Efforts to stop in-school adsC. whether ads should be allowed in schoolsD. Whether parents should run fundraisers for schools.40. Who are the intended readers of the passage?A. ParentsB. Teachers.C. EducatorsD. Businessmen【参考答案】36-40 BADCA阅读理解Today, there’s hardly an aspect of our life that isn’t being upended by the tons of information available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding the Internet, not to mention its ability to keep us in constant touch with each other via electronic mail. “If the automobile and aerospace technology had exploded at the same pace as computer and information technology,” says Microsoft, “a new car would cost about $ 2 and go 600 miles on a small quantity of gas. And you could buy a Boeing 747 for the cost of a pizza.”Probably the biggest payoff, however, is the billions of dollars the Internet is saving companies in producing goods and serving for the needs of their customers. Nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when power-driven machines began producing more in a day than men could turn out in nearly a year. “We view the growth of the Internet and e-commerce as a global trend,” says Merrill Lynch, “along the lines of printing press, the telephone, the computer, and electricity.”You would be hard pressed to name something that isn’t available on the Internet. Consider: books, health care, movie tickets, construction materials, baby clothes, stocks, cattle feed, music, electronics, antiques, tools, real estate, toys, autographs of famous people, wine and airline tickets. And even after you’ve movedon to your final resting place, there’s no reason those you love can’t keep in touch.A company called offers a place for you to store “afterlife e-mails” you can send to Heaven with the help of a “guardian angel”.Kids today are so computer literate that it in fact ensures the United States will remain the unchallenged leader in cyberspace for the foreseeable(能预测的) future. Nearly all children in families with incomes of more than $75,000 a year have home computers, according to a study by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. Youngsters from ages 2 to 17 at all income levels have computers, with 52% of those connected to the Internet. Most kids use computers to play games (some for 30 hours or more a week), and many teenage girls think nothing of rushing home from school to have e-mail chats with friends they have just left.What’s clear is that, whether we l ike it or not, the Internet is an ever growing part of our lives and there is no turning back. “The Internet is just 20% invented,” says cyber pioneer Jake Winebaum. “The last 80% is happening now.”10. What can we learn from the Microsoft’s remark?A. Today’s cars and airplanes are extremely overpriced.B. Information technology has reached the point where improvement is difficult.C. Information technology is developing at an amazing speed.D. There’s more competition in information technology industry than in car industry.11. According to the author, the biggest benefit of the Internet is that___.A. it saves companies huge amounts of moneyB. it speeds up profit makingC. it provides easy access to informationD. it brings people incredible convenience12. The author gives the example of to make the point that____.A. there are some genius ideas on the InternetB. some websites provide novel services to increase hits]C. people can find good bargains on the InternetD. almost anything is available on the Internet13. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?A. Many American children don’t put computers to good use.B. The U.S. will stay ahead in the information technology in years.C. Studies show that boys are more computer literate than girls.D. There is a link between income and computer ownership.14. What is the message the author intends to convey?A. We should have a positive attitude towards the changes the Internet brings.B. The Internet is going to get firm hold of our lives some day.C. The Internet is going to influence our lives even more greatly.D. Children should be well prepared for the challenges in the information age.15 Which sentence has the phrase that possesses the same meaning as the one underlinedin the fifth paragraph?A. Think nothing of it. It was my pleasure.B. He thinks nothing of the pain in his back for the moment.C. Some can tell you that he has changed their lives, while others think nothing of himD. He thinks nothing of staying up all night in the Café bar.参考答案 10-15: CADBCD【广东省肇庆二高2013三模】DThe UN Environment Program says that rising temperatures could mean the end for some migrating animals．Migrating or mobile animals move through several environments as they travel away from the cold of winter to warmer areas．Birds may fly from one part of the world to another，perhaps stopping at feeding grounds on the way．Whales and turtles cover vast areas of ocean．The report says that changes in any one of the places which these animals use can cause serious harm．“Obviously these animals have developed their traveling patterns over thousands of years，but climate change is almost certain tobe extreme over the next 25 to 50 years and it is extremely unlikely that these animals can change their habits fast enough，”said the report author Dr Robert Hepworth． Hardest hit by rising temperatures are turtles．Scientists have found that at higher temperatures，turtles produce far more female eggs than male ones．In parts of Malaysia， turtle birthing sites are producing only females，the report says It also provides evidence that some turtles are more likely to develop cancer as the waters get warmer．With birds，the main problem is climate related damage to important areas at either end of the travels of at resting places along the way．About one—fifth of migrating birds are now in danger because of climate related changes including rising sea levels，land loss and more violent storms，the report concludes．Other animals picked out as particularly in danger include：·the North Atlantic Right Whale，whose main food(tiny shrimp)is disturbed by the change in ocean flows and·the White Nose Dolphin，which is out—competed by other kinds of dolphins in warmer watersThe report is not all bad news．Even with major climatic changes．protecting the environment can still help mobile animals to recover．‘‘We need governments to start taking action at the national and international level．The clock is running．”said Dr． Hepworth．And some animals ale already adapting，with the report mentioning whales that are changing their feeding behaviors，finding new feeding grounds and new foods to eat．41．What is the main topic of the text?A．The effect of climate change on migrating animals．B．How animals are adapting to changes in temperature．C The actions required to save migrating animalsD The need for government policies to prevent global warming．42 By saying“the clock is running”in the last paragraph．Dr．Hepworth means that_____.A. it may be too late to save some animalsB. it is time to start protecting the animalsC there is not much time to solve the problemD. it takes time to complete the actions43．According to the report，how will global warming affect turtles in the future?A. They will only produce female babies．B. Their food supply will gradually disappear．C. Some will suffer from higher rates of cancerD.

They are the only animals besides humans that suffer from cancer．B. They have traditionally lived longer than other ocean based animals．C. Those born nearer a hotter area are more likely to be female．D. Most kinds of turtles are likely to die out within 50 years．【参考答案】41-45 ACCDC阅读理解AAmerican society is not nap (午睡)-friendly. In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine,“There’s even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep”. Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. To quote a proverb:“Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven.”Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them.“We have to totally change our attitude toward napping,”says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research.Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an“American sleep debt”which one member said was as important as the national debt. The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent reports, President Clinton is trying to take a ha1f-hour snooze (瞌睡) every afternoon.About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have“a mid afternoon quiet phase,” also called “a secondary sleep gate.” Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap.We Superstars of Snooze don't nap to replace lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift. Rather, we “snack” on sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feel like it. I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums.4l. It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is .A. unreasonableB. criminalC. harmfulD. costly42. The research done by the Dement Commission shows that Americans ________.A. don't like to take napsB. are terribly worried about their national debtC. sleep less than is good for themD. have caused many industrial and traffic accidents43. The purpose of this article is to .A. warn us of the wickedness of nappingB. explain the danger of sleepinessC. discuss the side effects of nappingD. convince the reader of the necessity of napping44. The underlined phrase “American sleep debt” in Para. 3 is the result of .A. the traditional misconception the Americans have about sleepB. the new sleep policy of the Clinton AdministrationC. the rapid development of American industryD. the Americans' worry about the danger of sleepiness45. The second sentence of the last paragraph tells us that it is .A. preferable to have a sound sleep before a night shiftB. good practice to eat something light before we go to bedC. essential to make up for cost sleepD. natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for it参考答案 41-45 A C D A DViolin prodigies (神童), I learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regions. Most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the world’s greatest violinists, the reason for this phenomenon.“It is very clear,”he told me. “They were all Jews (犹太人) and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world. They were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage.” As a result, every Jewish parent's dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West.Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field and is able to nurture (培育) talent. Nowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. “In Japan, a most competitive society with stronger discipline than ours,”says Isaac Stern,“children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. When Western music came to Japan after World War II, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well.” The Koreans and Chinese, as we know, are just as highly motivated as the Japanese.That's a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. Next to hard work,biological inheritance plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. J. S. Bach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music.46. Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because .A. it would allow them access to a better life in the WestB. Jewish children are born with excellent musical talentC. they wanted their children to enter into the professional fieldsD. it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country47. Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that .A. enforce strong discipline on students who want to achieve excellenceB. treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full developmentC. encourage people to compete with each otherD. promise talented children high positions48. Japan is described in the passage as a country that attaches importance to .A. all-round developmentB. the learning of Western musicC. strict training of childrenD. variety in academic studies49. Which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigies according to the passage?A. A natural gift.B. Extensive knowledge of music-C. Very early training.D. A prejudice-free society.50. Which of the following titles best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A. Jewish Contribution to Music.B. Training of Musicians in the World.C. Music and Society.D. The Making of Prodigies参考答案 46-50 A B C A D。

These days everyone is worried about the size of their carbon footprint．In order to reduce global warming we need to make our carbon footprints smaller．But how much CO2 are we responsible for?But all of this can help us decide which beer to drink．From Berners-Lee’s calculations, it’s clear that a pint 〔568ml〕 of locally-brewed beer has a smaller carbon footprint than a bottle of imported beer．This is because the imported beer has been transported from far away, and it uses more packaging．The local beer only produces 300g of CO2, but the imported beer produces 900g! So, one pint of local beer is better for the environment than three cans of cheap foreign lager 〔淡啤酒〕 from the supermarket．Berners-Lee has even calculated the carbon footprint of cycling to work．Nothing is more environmentally-friendly than riding a bike, surely? Well, it depends on what you’ve had to eat before．To ride a bike we need energy and for energy we need food．So if we eat a banana and then ride a kilometer and a half, our footprint is 65g of CO2．However, if we eat bacon before the bike ride, it’s 200g．In fact, bananas are good in general because they don’t need packaging, they can be transported by boat and they grow in natural sunlight．5．According to Berners-Lee, which of the following produces the most carbon dioxide？A．A pint of local beer we drink．B．A pint of imported beer we drink．C．A banana we eat before a bike ride．D．The bacon we eat before a bike ride．6．Why are bananas good in general?A．They grow naturally．B．They produces less CO2．C．They don’t need packaging．D．They provide energy for cycling．7．The underlined word “brewery〞in Paragraph 3 most probably means “___________〞．A．a factory where beer is madeB．a machine which makes beerC．a container where beer is storedD．one of the things from which beer is made8．To make our carbon footprints smaller, we should often ___________．A．cycle to workB．drink more local beerC．cal culate the amount of CO2D．buy cheap things from the supermarkets9．What’s the most suitable title for the passage?A．Bikes, Beer and BananasB．Starting to Make ChangesC．How Big Is Your Carbon Footprint?D．The Carbon Footprint of Everything参考答案〔B〕 BBAACWhat’s clea r is that, whether we like it or not, the Internet is an ever growing part of our lives and there is no turning back．“The Internet is just 20% invented,〞says cyber pioneer Jake Winebaum．“The last 80% is happening now．〞10．What can we learn from the Micros oft’s remark?A．Today’s cars a nd airplanes are extremely overpriced．B．Information technology is developing at an amazing speedC．Information technology has reached the point where improvement is difficult．11．According to the author, the biggest benefit of the Internet is that___．B．it speeds up profit making]C．it brings people incredible convenienceD．it provides easy access to informationA．there are some genius ideas on the InternetB．almost anything is available on the InternetC．people can find good bargains on the InternetD．some websites provide novel services to increase hits13．What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?D．The U．S．will stay ahead in the information technology in years．14．Which sentence has the phrase that possesses the same meaning as the one underlined in the fifth paragraph?B．Think nothing of it．It was my pleasure．C．He thinks nothing of staying up all night in the Café bar．D．He thinks nothing of the pain in his back for the moment．15．What is the message the author intends to convey?A．The Internet is going to get firm hold of our lives some day．B．The Internet is going to influence our lives even more greatly．C．We should have a positive attitude towards the changes the Internet brings． D．Children should be well prepared for the challenges in the information age．参考答案〔C〕 BABDCBYou can not see any object unless light from that object gets into your eyes. Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies. The moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own. It is non-luminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. So moon light is only second hand sunlight.When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.1. You can see the book because_______.A. your eyes are close to itB. it reflects some of the sunlightC. it has light of its ownD. your eyesight can get to it2. The underlined word “luminous〞 means_______.A. visibleB. all colorsC. giving off lightD. sunlightA. The sun and the moonB. The stars and the earthC. The sun and the starsD. The moon and the earth4.
