高中英语真题-2014高考英语阅读理解、动词短语精讲讲练(28)及答案
高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解、动词短语精讲讲练（28）及答案More than half of young black men in the United States do not fi nish high school. Many grow up without fathers and in neighbor hoods with gangs, drugs and violence. Sixty percent of those w ho drop out of school have spent time in prison by the age of thi rty-five.Joe Marshall co-founded the Omega Boys Club in San Francisco, California, tw enty-three years ago. Mr. Marshall tries to give boys — and girls — a safe refuge and a chance at a better future. Every week, he ha s two basic messages for his young students: "Stop the violenc e" and "Don't do drugs."Mr. Marshall taught math in middle school and expected to see his best students go to college.He got a lot of horror stories — a lot of his former students ende d up dead or in prison for selling drugs, being involved in gangs , and girls ended up getting pregnant（怀孕）.The Omega Boys Club serves more than four hundred young people every year. Two times a week, it offers after-school classes in math, reading, family and life skills, and colleg e preparation.Joe Marshall sees gangs and violence as a disease that needs to be dealt with as a public health problem. "That's what these y oung people get. They develop a street mentality—anger, fear and pain. Then we tell them to follow some new rule s for living that will decrease their chances of ending up dead or in prison and increase their chances dramatically of staying aliv e and free."But his most effective way to spread his anti-violence message is through radio. In 1991, Joe Marshall starte d “Street Soldiers,” a weekly call-in show. Marlena, one of the graduates of the Omega Boys Clu b, is at Southern University right now, going into her third year. She talked about what she had learned by coming to Omega, b y listening to “Street Soldiers,” and she said she had learned ho w to love herself.The club provides guidance and financial assistance to help stu dents stay in school.

高中英语阅读理解练习答案及句子精讲(19-20)
高中英语阅读理解练习（19-20）（19）New Zealand's government recently proposed taxing the greenhouse gases from farm animals as part of a plan to fight climate change. The government said the taxes would be a world's first. They said that farmers should be able to get the money back by charging more for climate-friendly products. Farm animals produce gases through natural processes like burping(打嗝) and urinating（排尿）.But farmers quickly criticized the plan. Federated Farmers is the industry's main political support group. It said the plan would "rip(撕破) the guts(肠胃) out of small-town New Zealand" and see farms replaced with trees. Andrew Hoggard, the group's president, said farmers had been trying to work with the government for more than two years. They were working on a plan to reduce greenhouse gas production that would not decrease food production. Hoggard said, "Our plan was to keep farmers farming." But, with the taxes, he said, farmers would be quickly selling their farms.The conservative（保守的） ACT Party is the main opposition group. Members of the party said the plan would increase worldwide greenhouse gas production by moving farming to other countries that were less efficient at making food. New Zealand's farming industry is very important for its economy. Milk products, including those used to make milk for baby food in China, are the nation's largest export earner. There are just 5 million people in New Zealand. But the country has some 26 million sheep and 10 million farm animals producing milk and meat.About half ofNew Zealand's greenhouse gas comes from farms. Farm animals produce gasses that warm the planet like methane（甲烷） and nitrous oxide from burping and urinating.The New Zealand government wants to reduce greenhouse gas production and make the country carbon neutral（碳中和） by 2050.Under the government's proposal（提议）, farmers would start to pay for greenhouse gas production in 2025. The price has yet to be finalized（最后定案）. PrimeMinister（总理） Jacinda Ardern said all the money collected from the proposed tax would be put back into the industry. It would support new technology, research, and payments for farmers. Agriculture Minister Damien O'Connor said New Zealand farmers were already experiencing the impact（影响） of climate change with periods of dry weather and flooding. "Taking the lead on agricultural emissions is both good for the environment and our economy," he said.The proposal is similar to another unsuccessful proposal made in 2003 to tax farm animals for their methane production. Back then, farmers greatly opposed the idea and political opponents(对手) criticized it. And the government dropped the plan.The debate in New Zealand is part of a larger international discussion on the effects of farming on the environment and the steps some say are needed to reduce its impact. In the European nation of the Netherlands, farmers have blocked large, busy roads with farming products and vehicles. They did so to protest government proposals to decrease the production of greenhouse gases.(535 words)根据文章内容，选最佳答案：1.New Zealand’s government advises the farmers to ________.A. cut the number of their farm animals.B. pay more taxes because of the climate change.C. sale their products at higher price.D. stop their animals to produce less greenhouse gases.2. If the tax comes into force, ______________.A. the farmers will make more money from the products.B. the farmers will plant more trees instead of keep animals.C. more farms will disappearD. more food production will be on sale.3. The words of "rip the guts out of small-townNew Zealand" from Federated Farmers infers that _______A. the gases from the farm animals’burping and urinating change the climate.B. people will get hungry because the farmers reduce their food production.C. the plan will increase worldwide greenhouse gas productionD.New Zealand's farming industry is very important for its economy.4. Which is the most important export product in New Zealand?A. Milk productsB. meat from farm animalsC. planting productions from the farms.D. wooding productions from the farm trees5. Which is untrue about the taxing plan?A. It will started in 2025.B. It was first proposed in 2003.C. It is both good for New Zealand’s environment and economy.D. It can collect money to help the farmers.（20）More school systems are making an effort to deal with some of the problems teachers face, including taking care of their mental health. Many schools do not have enough teachers.Current problems facing teachers include behavioral problems and fears of shootings.Some school districts have provided increased mental health training for workers and support in the classroom. They have also provided resources aimed at identifying burned out teachers and getting them connected to help. Being burned out means a person has become very physically and emotionally tired after doing a difficult job for a long time. A recent opinion study by the Rand Corporation found that twice as many principals and teachers reported frequent job-related stress as other working adults.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) noted a similar study that came from a coalition(联合,联盟) of mental health organizations in New Orleans. It found educators working during the COVID-19 pandemic reported rates of emotional difficulties similar to those of health care workers. It found 36 percent showed signs of anxiety, 35 percent had depression, and 19 percent showed signs of post-traumatic(痛苦难忘的) stress disorder.Leigh Mclean is the main investigator at the Teacher Emotions, Characteristics, and Health Lab at the University of Delaware School of Education. She said, "It's all pretty bad. She found levels of depression, anxiety, and emotional tiredness among elementary school teachers that are 100 to 400 percent higher than before the pandemic. She said those problems are increasing the most among less experienced teachers. She said she recognized similarities between teachers and the general population "with underrepresented groups being hit the hardest…"Some districts have or are planning to spend federal COVID-19 aid money on teacher mental health. They hope it mightimprove the classroom environment, keep teachers on the job and help students. Nebraska and Pennsylvania are among the states choosing teacher mental health as a top goal.A Delaware school district hired two social and emotional learning experts who deal with problems teachers are having in the classroom. And an elementary school in Indiana starts the week with Mindful Mondays, where teachers guide their classes in deep breathing. There are also Thoughtful Thursdays, where a student is called on to write a letter to someone working at the school to show that they are thankful. And on Friday Focus students and teachers talk about self-care.A growing number of groups offer training to improve mental health. Methods include breathing exercises, yoga, gentle movements and meditation(冥想). One program aimed at improving mental health is Cultivating Awareness and Resilience in Education, or CARE. Researchers found improvements, including reductions in mental health problems, in studies of its use among 224 New York City teachers. The studies also found reductions in stress and improvements in quality classroom interactions. Researchers found it helped students show increased engagement(参与).（469 words）根据文章内容，选择最佳答案：1. The following problems teachers are facing are included except ________.A. behavioral problemsB. fears of shootingsC. experience shortageD. overworking2. Which is the correct definition of the underline phrase burned out?A. 心灰意冷的B. 无可奈何的C. 筋疲力尽的D. 无计可施的3. The educators’emotional difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic include the followings except _____.A. anxietyB. depressionC. emotional tirednessD. classroom interactions4. On ________, the teachers will discuss how to take goo care of their emotions.A. Mindful MondaysB. Thoughtful ThursdaysC. Friday FocusD. Relaxing Saturdays5. The program CARE can help to __________.A. reduce mental health problemsB. improve quality classroom interactionsC. take some gentle movements like breathing exercises and yogaD. relax the teachers and students.高中英语阅读理解练习答案及句子精讲（19-20）答案：（19）1C 2C 3D 4A 5B（20）1C 2C 3D 4D 5C句子精讲：（19）1.

高中英语 原创阅读精讲：The Meaning of Life(生命的意义)(附重点单词+对应习题+阅读理解+参考答案)
原创阅读精讲文：Minstrel 题：明昇讲义编辑：明昇*本资料适用于初三英语程度较好的学生，也可作为高中英语学习拓展素材，供教师参考。
The Meaning of Life 生命的意义When we talk about something like the meaning and purpose of life, on the one hand, the answer we demand is to illustrate it with finite steps, finite words, quite similar to writing stories of our own. On the other hand, we expect this story to be as general as possible, with a relatively regular commencement, development, highlight, and ending. But this kind of answer is, to be honest, extremely hard to obtain. Although we share the same beginning of birth and ending of death, it is still almost impossible to find a singular content between them. So what we are truly curious about when this question comes up is how to fill our story with an exhilarating process and happy ending. As we have agreed, there is no both general and specific answer, so what I believe meaningful to provide here is nothing but a common goal at the start and a standard to check if your life is satisfactory enough at the end of it.As long ago as human beings came into existence, there is only one aim for which we have been striving for thousands of years—to improve the quality of our life—both as individual and as the entirety of mankind. But at some moments we just become too embarrassed to admit it, quite unaware of the fact that this process itself serves as the most valuable meaning while we are busily engaged in seeking it. This idea may not look very noble, but it is a realistic and practical one for the simple reason that it is always when we are faced with difficulties and frustration that this question pays a visit to our mind. So if it is bothering you as a young man, try to think about some ways to change your life into a better one, both physically and mentally. As for the standard, allow me to introduce a quotation from Wittgenstein①: the best answer to the question is the extermination to the question, that is to say: as your life is coming to an end, when you look back at it, you find nothing to be regretful for as you have achieved everything that was in you to do; you feel your story is complete and your life is increasingly merged in the universal life; when this question strikes you as an old friend, there seems nothing more to say, then you shall deserve the congratulation that you have found your own meaning of life and freedom from confusion because when you find there’s no need answering the question is always the time when you have already had one.I.New Words and Expressionspurpose [ˈpɜːpəs] n.目的demand[dɪˈmɑːnd] v.要求illustrate[ˈɪləstreɪt] v.解释；说明finite[ˈfaɪnaɪt] adj.有限的highlight[ˈhaɪlaɪt] n.最好(或最精彩、最激动人心)的部分；高潮obtain[əbˈteɪn] v.(尤指经努力) 获得content[ˈkɒntent] n.内容exhilarating[ɪɡˈzɪləreɪtɪŋ] adj.令人激动的specific[spəˈsɪfɪk] adj.具体的existence[ɪɡˈzɪstəns] n.存在；生存aim[eɪm] n.目的v.目的在......；旨在......；瞄准strive[straɪv] v.努力; 奋斗individual[ˌɪndɪˈvɪdʒuəl] adj.&n.个人（的）entirety[ɪnˈtaɪərəti] n.整体unaware[ˌʌnəˈweə(r)] adj.未察觉的engage[ɪnˈɡeɪdʒ] in phrasal verb 参加；从事frustration[frʌˈstreɪʃn] n.懊恼; 沮丧；挫败bother[ˈbɒðə(r)] v.使(某人)烦恼(或担忧、不安) n.麻烦quotation[kwəʊˈteɪʃn] n.引用；引文extermination[ɪksˌtɜːmɪˈneɪʃən] n.绝灭；消灭merge[mɜːdʒ] v.融入；结合universal[ˌjuːnɪˈvɜːsl] adj.普遍的strike[straɪk] v.碰；撞；敲击n.袭击；罢（工，课，市等）deserve[dɪˈzɜːv] v.应得；应受congratulation[kənˌɡrætʃuˈleɪʃn] n.祝贺；贺词confusion[kənˈfjuːʒn] n.困惑II.Notes to the Text1.Wittgenstein, 路德维希①约瑟夫①约翰①维特根斯坦（Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein，1889年4月26日—1951年4月29日），犹太人，哲学家，出生于奥地利维也纳省，逝世于英国剑桥郡，享年62岁。
高中英语真题-2014高考英语阅读理解、动词短语精讲讲练(23)及答案_3
高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解、动词短语精讲讲练（23）及答案When your parents advise you to “get an education” in order to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth. What they re ally mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrass ment(尴尬) to your society.Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be oc cupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Ber nard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison or Albert Einstein, and you c an successfully dropout in primary school.Get a college degree, if possible. With a B．A., you are on the l aunching pad(发射台). But now you have to put on the brakes(刹车). If you go for a master’s degree, make sure it is an M．B.A. Do you know, for instance, that long－distance truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes, the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $24,000 w hile the full professors managed to earn just $23,030.A PhD is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few speci alized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you w ork for such a degree in any other field, you will face a dark futu re. There are more PhDs unemployed or underemployed in the country than any other part of the world.If you become a PhD in English or history or anthropology or po litical science or languages or－worst of all－in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming over－educated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind yo u, but for our demands.Thousands of PhDs are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on t ables, and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater coll ege that pays much less than the street cleaner earns.You can equate the level of income with the level of education o nly so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the total va lue of national product, but not so far that nobody can turn muc h of a profit on you.5．According to the writer, what the society expects of educatio n is to turn out people who ______.A. will not be a shame to societyB. will become loyal citizensC. can take care of themselvesD. can meet the nation’s needs6．Many PhDs are out of work because ______.A. they are improperly educated in schoolsB. they are of little commercial value to their societyC. there are fewer jobs in high schools and collegesD. they prefer easier jobs that make more money 7．According to the passage, ______ degree can quickly be tur ned to industrial or commercial purposes.A. philosophyB. chemistryC. historyD. anthropology8．Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A. Bernard Shaw finished high school, but Edison didn’t.B. The higher your education level is, the more money you will earn.C. One must think carefully before working for a master degree.D. The more you are educated, the more you’ll be fit for society’s demands.[答案]文章说明了当今社会的一种现象——学历和收入并不成正比。

高考阅读：通读全文，掌握大意问题先行，阅读随后仔细审题，重点再读全面理解，归纳推理分析验证，确定答案阅读理解能力的重要标志是阅读速度和理解力的正确率。
主要考察题型：主旨大意型；事实细节型；推理判断型；词义猜测型。
高考阅读理解有4篇短文，设置15道单选题，考试时间30分钟。
这就要求考生在处理阅读理解的时候既要"快"，又要"准"。
解题注意：正确处理好复杂句式、生词和选项的关系与题目无关，不影响理解文章大意的，就不必浪费时间和精力。
相反，那些和题目相关的长难句，我们就要首先分析其类型(是带有较多成分的简单句，还是含有多个简单句的并列句，还是含有多个从句的复合句，还是含有多个插入成分)，理清句子成分，去除干扰成分，抓住句子主干！对待生词也应该采取同样的方法，首先看看生词是否与题目、文章的大意有关，如果是题目要求所必需的，我们就要弄清楚生词所处的语境，以及和下文的联系，推测生词含义，否则就忽略它！所选有据，忠实原文，避免主观必须以作者的思维模式为准绳，以原文提供的事实、细节和逻辑关系为基点，切忌自以为。
同时，符合原文的选项是正确选项但不一定就是最佳选项，必须通盘考虑，取主要，舍枝节。
1．阅读题干，明确问题------减少盲目性。
2．快速掌握大意，不在细节上纠缠。
3．可在文中相应处作出标记，以便进一步了解并最终确定答案。
4．带着问题略读原文，确定答案。
知己知彼，减少失误有时四个选项中总有一个极易误选，因此，了解干扰项的特点，可大大减少失误。
干扰项可分为以下三种：1．与原文矛盾。
2．无中生有。
即选项与文章内容不矛盾，但在文中没有相关信息支持，没有根据。
这类选项的干扰较大。
在做此类题时，切忌把自己或他人观点作为选择依据。
3．答非所问。
在做此类题时，不仅要判断选项内容的正确性，还应注意选项是否针对题目。
（1）主旨大意题题干：Main idea, topic, title, purpose, aim, means to要求在理解全文的基础上对全文进行高度概括或总结。
应该做到：①寻找主题句，从而抓住全段中心思想，常见位置是段首句或第二句，但也可能在段尾或段中。
②概括全文，寻找文章中心思想。
各段落中心句的整理归纳便是文章的中心思想。
干扰项：可能是文中某个具体事实或细节；可能是从文中某些(不完全的) 事实或细节片面推出的错误结论；可能属非文章事实的主观臆断。
例1Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jimbo.While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.The Jimbo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn't just deliver general answers to questions；it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company's "Oshbot" robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product's location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees."We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,"said Breazeal.( ) 23.We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will .A. train employeesB. be our workmatesC. improve technologiesD. take the place of workers( ) 24.What does the passage mainly present?A. A new design idea of household robots.B. Marketing strategies for social robots.C. Information on household robots.D. An introduction to social robots.23.本题为推理判断题。
根据最后一段Breazeal的话"We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,"可以推断出社交机器人可以和我们一起做事情。
24.本题为主旨大意题。
根据全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了社交机器人的功能和作用。
Humanized, humanity, chief, companions, distinguish, respond, response, appropriate, ship, personal, personalized, social, socialize, socialization, assist, assistant, perform, deliver, individual, apply, application, fellow, employ, employee, employment, intend, intention, market, strategy, tactic,-mate~workmate, roommate, classmate例2In spite of the fact that cars from Germany and Japan are flooding the American market, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler are employing more workers than ever before. The flood of cheaper foreign cars has not cast American autoworkers their jobs as some experts predicted. Ford operates as far as Asia, and General Motors is considered Australian's biggest employer. Yet General Motors has its huge American work force and employs hundreds of people every day to meet the needs of an insatiable(不能满足的）society.Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the paragraph?A. GM is one of the largest car producers.B. Ford operates not only in the U.S.A., but also in Asia.C. The foreign cars have not taken away the jobs of American autoworkers.D. The flood of the cheaper foreign cars is terrible for American autoworkers.【解析】take sth. away of sb.和cast sb. sth. 的意思相似。
