2014高考英语二轮阅读理解基础训练精品题（2）及答案阅读理解-----AMany people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile (汽车). But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896. That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobil e. Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker, instead of making the worker move to the parts. That is not true, either. Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better. And he made the whole factory a moving production line.In the early days of the automobile, almost every car maker raced his cars. It was the best way of gaining public notice. Henry Ford decided to build a racing car. Ford's most famous race was his first one. It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.The race was in 1901, at a field near Detroit. All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left: the Winton and Ford's. The Winton was famous for its speed. Most people thought the race was over before it began.The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began to lose power. Ford started to gain. And near the end of the race, he took the lead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name appeared in newspapers and he became well-known all over the United States. Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company. In the 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company. That sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream. Ford said: "I will build a motor car for the great mass of people. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will be built of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed. And it will be built with the simplest plans that modem engineering can produce. It will be so low in pri ce that no man making good money will be unable to own one."The Model T was a car of that kind. It only cost $850. It was a simple machinethat drivers could depend on. Doctors bought the Model T. So did farmers. Evencriminals. They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation. Americansloved the Model T. They wrote stories and songs about it. Thousands of Model T's werebuilt in the first few years.( ) 1. What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1?A. He made good use of ideas from others.B. He produced the first car in the world.C.

◆ 活学活用阅读下列短文，按要求完成读写任务(2010年山东卷)Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However，being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of overconsumption in the greenest way possible，but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005.It now makes up a third of a typical household's waste in the UK.In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK，for example，is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste.If such packaging is burnt，it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect.Recycling helps，but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem，too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However，a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue，encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags，for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products，which often have far more packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle，we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary material are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness ofour consumer culture，but we have a mountain to climb.Ⅰ.根据短文，写一篇30词左右的摘要_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Ⅱ.根据所读短文，选出最佳答案1．What does the underlined phrase “overconsumption” refer to?A．Using too much packaging.B．Recycling too many wastes.C．Making more products than necessary.D．Having more material than is needed.2．The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show ________.A．the tendency of cutting household wasteB．the increase of packaging recyclingC．the rapid growth of super marketsD．the fact of packaging overuse3．According to the text，recycling ________.A．helps control the greenhouse effectB．means burning packaging for energyC．is the solution to gas shortageD．leads to a waste of land4．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A．Unpackaged products are of bad quality.B．Supermarkets care more about packaging.C．It is improper to judge quality by packaging.D．Other products are better packaged than food.5．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．Fighting wastefulness is difficult.B．Needless material is mostly recycled.C．People like collecting recyclable waste.D．The author is proud of their consumer culture.参考答案ⅠRecycling is one way to help environment，but what's most important is that we don't overconsume or pay too much attention to packaging when we are shopping.(27 words)Ⅱ1．解析：从前句的being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need知道我们是在“过度消费”或“过量消费”。
2014高考英语二轮阅读理解基础训练精品题(1)
2014高考英语二轮阅读理解根底训练精品题〔1〕与答案阅读理解-----〔A〕Sports shoes that out whether their owner has enough exercise to warrant time in front of the television have been devised in the UK.The shoes—named Square Eyes—contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the day’s efforts.The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at BrunelUniversity to London, UK. “We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,〞she says. “And I wanted to tackle that with my design.〞Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time.Existing pedometers 〔计步器〕 normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. “It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort,〞she says. “That was one of my main design considerations.〞( ) 1. According to Swan, the purpose of her design project is to ________.A. keep a record of the steps of the wearerB. deal with overweight among teenagersC. enable children to resist the temptation of TVD. prevent children from being tricked by TV programs( ) 2. Which of the following is true of Square Eyes shoes?A. They regulate a child’s evening TV viewing time.B.They determine a child’s daily pocket money.C. They have raised the hot issue of overweight.D. They co ntain information of the receiver.( ) 3. What is stressed by health experts in their suggestion?A. The exact number of steps to be taken.B. The precise number of hours spent on TV.C. The proper amount of daily exercise and TV time.D. The way of changing steps into TV watching time.( ) 4. Compared with other similar products, the new design ________.A. makes it difficult for lazy teenagers to cheatB. counts the wearer’s steps through shakingC. records the sudden movement of the wearerD. sends teenagers’ health data to the receiver( ) 5. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Smart Shoes Decide on Television TimeB. Smart Shoes Guarantee More ExerciseC. Smart Shoes Measure Time of ExerciseD. Smart Shoes Stop Childhood Overweight71. B 这是一道推断题。

2014高考英语阅读理解基础训练二轮精品题（3)及答案【2014中原名校联盟一模】BIt can be hard to meet people from another culture. From the beginning，people may send the wrong signal（信号）. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize （强调）the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust。
Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”，usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job。
In many European countries——like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office。
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand。

【2014高考英语模拟题】ADear , Dec. 24, 1848Your request for eighty dollars, I do not think it best to satisfy no w. At the various times when I have helped you a little, you hav e said to me, “We can get along very well again,” but in a very s hort time I find you in the same difficulty again. Now this can onl y happen by some fault in your behaviour. What that fault is, I th ink I know. You are not lazy, and still you are an idler. I doubt w hether since I saw you, you have done a good whole day’s wor k. In any other day,you do not very much dislike to work, and sti ll you do not work much, merely because it does not seem to yo u that you could get much for it.This habit of uselessly wasting time is the whole difficulty; it is v astly important to you, and still more so to your children, that yo u should break this habit. It is more important to them, becausethey have longer to live, and can keep out of an idle habit befor e they are in it, easier than they can get out after they are in. You are now in need of some ready money; and what I suggest is, that you shall go to work hard, for somebody who will give y ou money for it.Let father and your boys take charge of your things at home—prepare for a crop, and make the crop, and you go to work for t he best money wages, or to pay back any debt you owe. And to secure you a fair reward for your labor, I now promise you that for every dollar you will, between this and the first of May, get fo r your own labor, I will then give you one other dollar. By this, if you hire yourself at t en dollars a month, from me you will get ten more, making twen ty dollars a month for your work.Now if you will do this, you will soon be out of debt, and what is better, you will have a habit that will keep you from getting in de bt again. But if I should now clear you out, next year you will be just as deep in as ever. You say you would almost give your pla ce in Heaven for $ 70 or $80. Then you value your place in Hea ven cheaply, for I am sure you can with the offer I make you get the seventy or eighty dollars for four or five months’ work. You say if I furnish you the money you will deed(抵押) me the land, and if you don’t pay the money back, you will d eliver possession—Nonsense! If you can’t now live with the land, how will you then live without it? You have always been kind to me, and I do not n ow mean to be unkind to you. On the contrary, if you will but foll ow my advice, you will find it worth more than eight time eighty dollars to you.AffectionatelyYour brother51.

Scientists looked at hundreds of studies of mobile exposur e and found no conclusive links to cancer risk, brain function or infertility. However, they said monitoring should continue becau se little was known about long-term effects. The HPA said children should still avoid excessive use of mobiles.It is the biggest ever review of the evidence surrounding the safety of mobile phones. There are now an estimated 80 million m obiles in the , and because of TV and radio broadcasting, Wi-Fi, and other technological developments, the study said expos ure to low-level radio frequency fields was almost universal and continuou s. A group of experts working for the HPA looked at all significa nt research into the effects of low-level radio frequency.'Relatively reassuring'They concluded that people who were not exposed above guid eline levels did not experience any detectable symptoms. That i ncluded people who reported being sensitive to radio frequency . They also said there was no evidence that exposure caused b rain tumours, other types of cancer, or harm to fertility or cardio vascular health.But they said very little was known about risks beyond 15 years , because most people did not use mobile phones until the late 1990s. Prof Anthony Swerdlow, who chaired the review group, said it was important to continue monitoring research. "Even though it's relatively reassuring, I also think it's important that we keep an eye on the rates of brain tumours and other ca ncers," he said. "One can't know what the long-term consequences are of something that has been around for only a short period."There has been speculation about the health effects of using m obile phones for years. The HPA conducted a previous review i n 2003, which also concluded that there was no evidence of har m. But there is now far more research into the subject.Advice on childrenThe experts said more work was needed on the effect of radio f requency fields on brain activity, and on the possible association with behavioural problems in children. They also cal led for more investigation into the effects of new technology whi ch emits radio frequency, such as smart meters in homes and a irport security scanners.The HPA said it was not changing its advice about mobile phon e use by children. "As this is a relatively new technology, the H PA will continue to advise a precautionary approach," said Dr J ohn Cooper, director of the HPA's centre for radiation, chemical and environmental hazards. "The HPA recommends that exces sive use of mobile phones by children should be discouraged."55.What does the HPA not do according to the passage?A. It gives advice to children on using mobile phones.B. It monitors the effects of low-level radio frequency.C. It keeps an eye on different functions of mobile phones.D. It does research about the detectable symptoms after using mobile phones.56.The underlined word “reassuring” in the fifth paragraph most probably means “__________”A. comfortingB. dangerousC. seriousD. expens ive57.Why should they still continue monitoring research though th ere is no evidence of harm to health? _____________.A. Because the speculation about the effect of using mobile pho nes is wrong.B. Because the time of using mobile phones isn’t long enough t o tell the long-term effects.C. Because the HPA should take its responsibility to undertake the task.D.Because they didn’t get enough safety reviews about the effe ct of using mobile phones.58.What can we infer from the passage? _____________.A. Exposure to low-level radio frequency fields is a common phenomenon .B. Using mobile phones does great harm to children’s health.C. More and more mobile phones will be used in the future.D. Long-term consequences of something must be more serious than sh ort-term ones.59. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To make people aware of the harm of using mobile phones t o health.B. To arouse people’s attention on fighting against some diseas es.C. To forbid children to use mobile phones.D. To reveal the truth but arouse persistent attention on effects of using mobile phones.55、C 56—59、ABAD阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

2014高考英语阅读理解基础精品二轮训练题（3)及答案【2014安徽省屯溪一中月考卷】AWith only fish and birds for company，Eric Erden has been rowing across the Pacific Ocean to Australia in his 23-foot-long boat since he left California on July 10, 2009.This is the first part of Eric’s trip around the world using only his own energy. He will row，bike, and walk without help from any motors at all. His plan includes climbing the tallest mountain on each of the six continents he visits，to honor the memory of a fellow climber。
He says he is doing this to show kids that they can achieve any goal，but he also hopes to have some great adventures along the way.Storms and huge waves regularly force him in the wrong direction and even threaten to overturn his boat. “Sometimes I really feel scared," says a somewhat embarrassed Eric. “But that’s part of the journey. I knew this wouldn’t be easy when I started.”Protein bars give him energy，and he boils water to heat freeze—dried meals on a one—burner stove. A sun—powered machine removes salt from ocean water so he can drink it, but when that fails he sometimes tries to collect rainwater in a bucket。
2014届高三英语二轮专题强化训练 任务型阅读(真题模拟)
2014届高三二轮专题强化训练：任务型阅读（真题+模拟）(一)(2013·江苏)Quiet Virtue: The ConscientiousThe everyday signs of conscientiousness (认真尽责)—being punctual, careful in doing work, selfdisciplined, and scrupulous (一丝不苟的) in attending to responsibilities—are typical characteristics of the model organizational citizen, the people who keep things running as they should. They follow the rules, help out, and are concerned about the people they work with. It's the conscientious worker who helps newcomers or updates people who return after an absence, who gets to work on time and never abuses stick leaves, who always gets things done on deadline.Conscientiousness is a key to success in any field. In studies of job performance, outstanding effectiveness for almost all jobs，from sem iskilled labor to sales and management, depends on conscientiousness. It is particularly important for outstanding performance in jobs at the lower levels of an organization: the secretary whose message taking is perfect, the delivery truck driver who is always on time.Among sales representatives for a large American car manufacture, those who were most conscientious had the largest volume of sales. Conscientiousness also offers a buffer (缓冲) against the threat of job loss in today's constan tly changing market, because employees with this quality are among the most valued. For the sales representatives, their level of conscientiousness mattered almost as much as their sales in determining who stayed on.There is an air around highly conscientious people that makes them seem even better than they actually are. Their reputation for dependability influences managers' evaluations of their work, giving them higher evaluations than objective measures of their performance would predict.But conscientiousness in the absence of social skills can lead to problems. Since conscientious people demand so much of themselves, they can hold other people to their own standards, and so be overly judgmental when others don't show the same high levels of model behavior. Factory workers in Great Britain and the United States who were extremely conscientious, for example, tended to criticize coworkers even about failures that seemed unimportant to those they criticized, which damaged their relationships.When conscientiousness takes the form of living up to expectations, it candiscourage creativity. In creative professions like art or advertising, openness to wild ideas and spontaneity (自发性) are scarce and in demand. Success in such occupations calls for a balance, however, without enough conscientiousness to follow through, people become mere dreamers, with nothing to show for their imaginativeness.答案：1．strict2．helpful/good3．Functions/Roles/Importance/Significance4．running/working/going/operating/functioning5．performance(s)6．fired/dismissed/jobless7．problems/troubles8．higher/subjective/unfair/prejudiced9．tense/damaged/poor/bad10．discourage/affect/damage(二)(2012·安徽)Traveling to all corners of the world gets easier and easier. We live in a global village，but this doesn't mean that we all behave in the same way.How should you behave when you meet someone for the first time? An American shakes your hand firmly while looking you straight in the eye. In many parts of Asia, there is no physical contact (接触)at all. In Japan, you should bow, and the more respect you want to show, the deeper you should bow. In Thailand, people greet each other by pressing both hands together at the chest. In both countries, eye contact is avoided as a sign of respect.Many countries have rules about what you should and shouldn't wear. In Muslim countries, you shouldn't reveal (显露)the body, especially women, who should wear long blouses and skirts.In Korea, you should take off your shoes when entering a house. Remember to place them neatly together where you came in.In Spain, lunch is often the biggest meal of the day, and can last two or three hours. For this reason many people eat a light breakfast and a late dinner. In Mexico, lunch is the time to relax，and many people prefer not to discuss business as they eat. In Britain, it's not unusual to have a business meeting over breakfast.In most countries, an exchange of business cards is necessary for all introductions. You should include your company name and your position. If you are going to a country where your language is not widely spoken, you can get the back side of your card printed in the local language. In China，you may present your card with the writing facing the person you are giving it to.答案：1. behavior2. Greeting3. Bowing4. Muslim/Moslem5. door/entrance6. lunch7.

The latest sev enpart documentary (纪录片) offers insights into the geographical, historical and cultural aspects of what Chinese eat.Made by Chen Xiaoqing, an awardwinning documentary maker, China at Your Tongue Tips is filled with varieties of food, which tells us the beautiful process of foodmaking. The program is sure to attract both food experts and ordinary audiences.Television is filled with food programs these days, especially introductions of top chefs and close looks at the complicated and refined (精制的) cooking processes of a feast (盛宴), but how to create dishes is only one aspect of food culture, according to Chen.“The program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements related to dishes, like eating habits of eating.”The surprise is that the show is not only about dishes. Every part focuses on different people, who tell stories about their adventures with food.“As a saying goes, ‘You are what you eat.’” Chen says. “Food is always connected with people. Behind the documentary, they are stories that reflect people's living situations and attitudes. That's another section which makes it special.”To get enough good stories, the production team spent three months doing researches and interviews in about 60 cities before they started shooting in last July. Filming lasted about nine months.China at Your Tongue Tips shows social changes while presenting food culture, such as showing the elderly are in their hometowns while other members of this family work outside. In those cases, food serves as reminders of happy times and centerpieces of reunions.Title: A Hit about Chinese Food1.______ ●The program consists of seven parts.●It shows Chinese food in terms of history, culture as wellas 2.________Characteristics of China at YourTongue Tips ●Experts and ordinary people are 3.______ by the program4.______ of delicious food.●5.________ elements are presented to bring something new.●Every part draws our 6.________ to persons who tell stories about their adventure with food.●Stories can 7.________ people's living situations and attitudes.Background and significance of theprogram ●It took the production team 3 months to go to about 60 cities to do 8.________ and interviews before shooting.●9.________ lasted more than nine months.●The pro gram shows social 10.________.1．Introduction(s) 2.geography 3.attracted 4.full 5.Cultural 6.attention 7.reflect 8.research 9.Filming10．changes(四)(2013·合肥市第三次质检)Relationships make or break us. From the quality of our family time to our interactions at work, our relationships are largely responsible for our career success or failure. Here are some guidelines.People who focus on themselves when interacting with others rarely build positive lasting relationships. Instead，they should become good listeners and encourage others to talk about themselves.All the skills and education in the world will never impress anyone as much as sincere, heartfelt care for them. Plus, few things have a more positive effect on others than finding out and remembering things about them. Knowing a lot about people is a real display of your care for them，and it creates a lasting bond.Give your relationship something positive when you meet，such as ideas，opportunities，and resources. Besides giving, be willing to receive from the other person. In fact, one of the best ways to start a relationship is to ask for advice or a favor. Everyone loves to show his expert knowledge and authority on a subject, because it makes him feel honored and respected.Tr y to use conflict as a tool，not a weapon. The presence of conflict in arelationship is natural and healthy. Damage only occurs when we react inappropriately to it. To learn more about the other person and find a solution that serves both of you, relationships could become stronger and deeper.Relationships break up quickly when others can't count on you, so say what you mean and stick to your word. Few things damage a friendship more severely than breaking a trust.If people know more about the value of good relationships, they can achieve both personal satisfaction and professional success. If you aren't naturally gifted in this area, don't worry. You can learn to improve them in your life and career.Title：Develop positive interpersonal 1.______ skills Tips ContentBe a good listener ■Taking the 2.______ off yourself■Encouraging others to talk about themselvesCare for others ■Caring about others to 3.______ them greatly■4.______ your care by knowing a lot about othersGive and receive ■Bringing something 5.______ while meeting ■6.______ to others to make them feel neededUse conflict ■Handling conflict in an 7.______ manner■Finding best solutions to help 8.______ relationshipsBe 9.______ ■Saying what you mean and keeping your wordConclusion：Good relationships benefit people both personally and 10.______.1．relationship2．focus/concentration/center3．impress4．Displaying/Showing5．positive6．Turning/Referring7．appropriate8．strengthen/improve/enhance9．reliable/honest10．professionally(五)(2013·马鞍山市第三次质检)Ask any group of teenagers in the UK what they most like to eat, and foods like pizzas, hamburgers and chips are sure to get a mention. But what teenagers like to eat is not necessarily what they should be eating. According to the National Diet and Nutrition Survey, far too many young people in the UK between the ages of 4 and18 consume too much fat, sugar and salt in their diet. Meanwhile, their intake offibre, iron and calcium (钙) is too low.For a growing body, eating foods containing plenty of calcium, such as milk, yogurt and cheese, is important as calcium is completely necessary for the development of healthy, strong bones. Similarly, foods that are rich in iron are good for young, rapidly developing bodies, so red meat, bread, green vegetables, and dried fruit are also recommended.It is during our teenage years that lifestyle habits can be formed, so it is vital that young people are educated about what foods are good for them. In 2005, and in an attempt to change eating habits and open teenagers' minds to new tastes, the famous chef, Jamie Oliver started a “Feed Me Better” campaign. He worked with teachers and cooks in a number of schools across the UK to provide more healthy, nutritious school meal choices. Although some teenagers and parents resisted it, the campaign was in general believed as a huge success and helped to influence governmental policy on nutritional standards for school meals.No one expects to end the teenage love affair with fast and junk food but, hopefully, if projects like “Feed Me Better” continue to give out the right messages, more young people will understand the importance of balancing several treats with healthier food choices.Title: A Little of What You Fancy1.______ Teenagers'2.______ has too much fat, sugar, salt and calories.They don't 3.______ in enough fibre, iron and calcium.Recommendation Teenagers eat foods which 4.______ plenty of calcium.

This action will often produce results. However, if not, there are various means to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” the consumer takes their complaint, the faster they can expect a settlement. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favor, assuming they have a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the store, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate the problem with the item. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work.”The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the producer. If so, the consumer should state the complaint as politely and firmly as possible.If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. They can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to an organization responsible for protecting consumers' rights.答案：1．satisfied 2.helpful/useful 3.seriously 4.faster/sooner 5.phone/telephone 6.effectively7.demonstrating/showing/explaining8.Take9.threatening 10.charge(七)(2013·安徽名校联盟最后一卷)Family structure had changed dramatically over the last 50 years. The following are the types of families existing today.Nuclear FamilyThe nuclear family is a traditional type of family structure. This family type consists of mother, father and children. The nuclear family was long held in esteem by society as being the ideal in which to raise children because children in nuclear families receive strength and stability from the twoparent structure.Single Parent FamilyThe single parent family consists of one parent raising one or more children on his own. When only one parent is at home, it may be a struggle to find childcare, as there is only one parent working. This limits income and opportunities in many cases, although many single parent families have help from relatives and friends.Extended FamilyThe extended family structure consists of two or more adults who are related, either by blood or marriage, living in the same home. This family includes many relatives living together and working toward common goals. This type of family structure may be formed due to financial difficulties or because older relatives are unable to care for themselves alone.Childless FamilyWhile most people think of family as including children, there are couples who either cannot or choose not to have children. Many childless families take on the responsibility of pet ownership or have extensive contact with their nieces and nephews as a substitute for having their own children.StepfamilyOver half of all marriages end in divorce, and many of these individuals choose to get remarried. This creates the stepfamily, which involves two separate families merging into one new unit. Stepfamilies tend to have more problems, such as adjustment periods and discipline issues.There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to what is the best type of familystructure. As long as a family is filled with love and support for one another, it tends to be successful and thrive.Title Today's family typesIntroduction Family structure is quite 1.______ from what it was fifty years ago.Nuclear Family ◆The nuclear family is a 2.______ family structure which consists of mother, father and children.◆It is seen as an ideal type of family structure because of its being good for 3.______ children.Single Parent Family ◆A single parent family is 4.______ up of one or more children and a parent.◆The income and opportunities of single parent family are5.______.Extended Family ◆The extended family is one in which two or three related adults live in the same home by blood or 6.______.◆Lacking in money or attending to the older members account for the formation of extended family.ChildlessFamilyChildren are not born in childless family.Stepfamily ◆Stepfamily is 7.______ when two divorced individuals choose to get married.◆It has a 8.______ of having more problems.9.______ Love and support can always 10.______ to a successful and thriving family regardless of family structure.1．different 2.traditional 3.raising 4.made 5.limited6．marriage 7.created/formed 8.tendency 9.Conclusion 10.contribute/lead(八)(2013·皖南八校第三次联考)Do you love traveling? If the answer is yes, then have you ever thought about why? You may maintain that traveling can help you expand your scope of knowledge, especially geographical and historical learning. It will provide more chances for you to enjoy food and try on clothes that you otherwise cannot possibly have. A famous English author Francis Bacon (1561－1626) makes a point when he says that, “Travel,in the younger sort, i s a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.”Evidence of leisure travel can be traced (追溯) as far back as ancient Babylon. This year, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council, the 1 billionth tourist will cross an international boundary before the end of this month. That means that one in seven people on the planet traveled this year, something that would not have been possible a few decades ago. Around 20 years ago only the rich could travel.While the US and France remain the two largest destinations for world travel, experts say much of the explosive growth in tourism has been to countries like Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and the Ivory Coast, which weren't even on the world tourism map a decade ago. The top five destinations in the world, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, are Paris, London, New York, the Mediterranean, Turkey.Several factors have led to the boom in world travel. The prosperity (富裕) of people in Asia is one factor. People in Asian developing countries have lifted their incomes above middleclass levels in the past few years. And a lot of them have used their new wealth to travel. In addition, travel costs have been reduced thanks to the rapid development of transportation, and competition between airlines to give customers the best prices.Top ic TravellingAdvantages ·Enrich knowledge, especially in 1.______ and history.·Taste different 2.______ and buy different clothes.·Francis Bacon thinks that travel is a part of education and a part of experience.Development ·3.______ from ancient Babylon, travel only really took off after World War Ⅱ.·Only the wealthy people could go on a trip about two 4.______ ago.·The number of people travelling abroad will 5.______ as many as 1 billion before the end of this month.Tourist 6．______ ·The US and France remain the two most popular countries for world travel.·Tourism has developed 7.______ in countries like Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and the Ivory Coast.·The top five destinations in the world are Paris, London, NewYork, the Mediterranean and Turkey.Factors8．______ in the popularity of global tourism ·Asian people have got 9.______ than before.·People have 10.______ less money on travel because of convenient transportation and price competition between airlines.1．geography 2.food(s) 3.Dating 4.decades 5.reach6．destinations 7.explosively/quickly/rapidly/fast 8.resulting9．richer/wealthier 10.spent(九)(2013·皖北协作区联考)In 2000, the world's first mobile phones with cameras were put on the market in Japan. Two years later, these phones were released in Australia, Europe and the United States. A market research shows that there has been a sharp rise in worldwide sales from 80 million mobile camera phones in 2003 to 1.14 billion by 2013.Camera phones have not only been used for entertainment. In Sweden, a grocer snapped a shot of a robber and downloaded the photograph to his computer, which allowed the police to catch the suspect. In Italy, the same thing was done when a shop o w ner snapped pictures of two robbers. In Wales, doctors send photos of Xrays to consult a more experienced specialist about medical treatment for their patients. In Japan, the police have set up a website for citizens to send pictures of suspicious activities.Now, newspaper reporters can use camera phones to take pictures of important events. They can then send the pictures to their newspaper office. As the quality of camera phone pictures increases, we can expect to see camera phones used more and normal cameras used less. More people are using their camera phones to take pictures of their trips, or just small unexpected things that happen in their daily lives. They can then send these pictures to friends anywhere.However, camera phones have also been used to commit crimes. To prevent spying, these phones are not allowed in government buildings in the United Kingdom. Some car companies don't allow their employees to use their phones because they want to prevent some employees watching new car models and sensitive information secretly. In Italy, to prevent dishonest voting, people are not allowed to use mobile phones while they vote. It appears that although there are many advantages to the newtechnology, we still have to be careful.Title: Camera PhonesIntroduction The sales of camera phones have 1.______ sharply since they came onto the market.Advantages of camera phones ·People can use camera phones for 2.______.·The pictures taken with camera phones led to robbers being 3.______Doctors can get som e advice by sending photos of Xray to 4.______.·Newspaper reporters use camera phones to take pictures of events that are of 5.______·Camera phones are used to take pictures of unexpected things 6.______ in people's daily lives.7.______ of camera phones ·Some people use camera phones to do some 8.______ things.·In the UK, camera phones are sometimes used to 9.______ on sensitive information.·In Italy, some people use camera phones to vote 10.______.答案：1．risen 2.entertainment 3.caught 4.specialists 5.importance 6.happening 7.Disadvantages 8.illegal 9.spy10．dishonestly(十)(2013·合肥市二模)Tomatoes are generally easy to grow. Experts suggest you start seeds indoors if the ground is still cold. For best results with the l east risk, they say, plant wh en the soil is warm, soon after the frostfree date for your area.Small plants may be placed a third of a meter apart in rows. If you grow staked plants, set the sticks in the ground about half a meter apart. Some larger varieties of tomatoes may need about a meter between plants and a t least a meter and a half between rows. The idea is to leave enough space for harvesting.Work the soil to remove weeds(杂草). But do not work the soil too deeply or youcould damage the tomato plants. Water the plants regularly during long dry periods. Give them plenty of water. Plants in containers may need water daily or even more than once a day. Besides, do give the tomato plants complete organic fertilizers(肥料)．Some gardeners train tomato plants to grow on supporting materials. Whatever you choose, make sure the supports are tall enough. Most modern tomato plants grow about a meter tall. Others reach almost two meters.Tomatoes started from seed take fortyfive to ninety days till harvest. The average air temperature should be about 24℃. In that case, you can pick the tomatoes when they are firm and fully colored. But if the weather is very hot, pick the tomatoes every day or two. Let them soften and develop their full color indoors.There was a time when people thought tomatoes were poisonous. In fact, they are just the opposite. Tomatoes are good for you. But are they a fruit or a vegetable? Technically, a tomato is a fruit—the fruit of the tomato plant. But some fruits, including tomatoes, may be called “vegetables” because they are used in tasty foods instead of sweet cooking.Title：1.______ TomatoesSowing and transplanting ■Start seeds indoors when it is still cold outside. ■Plant them soon after the 2.______ date ends.■Set proper 3.______ for the plants.4.______ the field ■Weed without5.______ the plants.■Water the plants regularly, especially in dry periods.■6.______ the tomato plants.■Choose proper 7.______ to train the plants to grow tall.Harvesting the fruits ■Pick the ripe fruits when the tempe rature is about 24℃.■Get in the fruits 8.______ to ripen indoors if it's too hot.Interpreting tomatoes ■People used to consider tomatoes as a 9.______ but actually they aren't.■A tomato can be called either a fruit or a 10.______.1．Grow/Growing 2.frost 3.distance/space 4.Managing 5.damaging6.Feed/Fertilize/Fertilise7.supports8.earlier9．poison 10.vegetable(十一)(2013·蚌埠市一模)Trash removal(清除垃圾)is something every person needs to think about for their residence(住宅) because organizing a cleanup event can make the community more beautiful and be good for the environment. This is a good opportunity to bring families together and get them outdoors and helping each other to beautify (美化)the community.Organizing a trash removal event is easy if you know how to prepare for it. Get ready to improve the place where you live to make it cleaner for everyone!You need to choose a day for the trash removal event. Select a date that is about two to four months away. Planning as far in advance as possible is always smart. Choose a second date as a backup (候补)in the event of rain or other bad weather conditions.Your best situation is to select an area in your community that is often used and tends to interest people on a regular basis. Parks are a good example of an area that might need a good cleanup. Lakes, beaches and areas that are found along roads that are traveled frequently could get some help in the trash removal event. Just make sure you make plans to clean up an area that will not be dangerous to everyone involved.It is strongly recommended that you ask for permission from the county, city or town before you start making serious plans to round up the garbage in an organized event. Doing so makes you responsible citizen of the community.Once you receive permission to hold a trash removal event you can then move forward with your plans. Organize a committee to make the public know about the outdoor cleanup and then ask for volunteers. For example, you can give out fliers(传单)or put them up in right areas of your community where the fliers are visible.。
