定额市鞍钢阳光实验学校2015高考英语（四月）完形填空、阅读理解小练（2）答案【2015高考复习】阅读理解Does stress cause gray hair？Many people believe that tension and stress can cause your hair to lose its color.In fact，it is an_old_wives’_tale that being upset all the time can result in premature graying.Here is a closer look at this situation and why some believe that this old wives’ tale could be true.As one ages，the hairs on the head also age.In fact，just about everything on the human body begins to show signs of wear and tear after a while.The joints wear and become stiff and skin wears and becomes wrinkled.Hairs on the head grow and eventually die.They are replaced，but in the process something else happens.When new hairs are replaced，the color or pigment (色素) is also added to them.However，as one ages，this pigment becomes less and less available.At first，hairs will have a limited amount of pigment and they will appear to be grayish in color.In time，they will lose all of their pigment and will be white.Many things are known to cause graying，and genetics is a very powerful factor.If one of your parents turns gray at an early age，there is a good chance that you will too.Some people begin the graying process in high school，while others may be over the age of forty.Constant worry and tension can have many harmful effects on the human body.It is a known fact that stressful times can cause one to suffer hair loss.It would make sense that if it can cause these problems，perhaps it also may contribute to graying.However，there is no sound evidence to support this.On the other hand，many medical professionals believe that there may be a link between graying and a constant state of anxiety or tension.Does stress cause gray hair？There is no scientific evidence to support the theory，but it is best to avoid stressful situations.【语篇解读】压力会导致头发变白吗？许多人相信情况是这样的。

It takes more than just practice to become an Olympian. Gold medal performances require some serious nutrition. Have you ever wondered what these successful athletes eat to stay in peak shape?Keri Glassman, a regist ered dietitian and founder of Nutritious Life Meals, appeared on“Good Morning America”today to give you a glimpse into the diets ofsome top athletes. Some of their meals could surprise you.Crazy Calorie CountGlassman said Olympians eat a lot of food—quantities that for ordinary people would constitute pigging out. One secret of swimmer Michael Phelps’ astonishing performance in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing was consuming as many as 12, 000 calories in one day.Athletes can eat like this and not gain any weight because their workouts are intense. According to Glassman, Phelps’ workouts can burn 4, 000 to 6, 000 calories in a day, and those calories must be added in order to train the following day.Snacking SecretsSome athletes eat strange foods that improve their performance. Yohan Blake, the Jamaica sprinter and 100-meter world champion, has stolen champion sprinter Usain Bolt’s thunder on the track during the Olympic trials. Asked about how he gets his energy, Blake answered that he eats 16 bananas per day, Glassman said.Jonathan Horton, the lead gymnast on the US team, has a blood sugar problem. His solution is honey. When he starts to feel shaky at the gym, he takes honey to boost his energy, Glassman said. Foods for RecoveryWhat are the best foods to help the body recover after harsh competition?For Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, the recovery meal is grilled chicken breasts with Alfredo sauce, whole-grain spaghetti and a salad with lemon juice and olive oil. Lochte, who recently cut out junk food, candy and soda, has undertaken a strength-training regimen(养生法)that involves flipping tractor tires and tossing beer kegs, Glassman said.【文章大意】运动员的成长不仅需要锻炼, 还需要营养, 合理膳食也至关重要。

On Friday June 21st，2013，the folks at the annual Sonoma County Fair in California celebrated the 25th anniversary of a rather unusual contest—one that crowns the “World's Ugliest Dog”！And while in most settings a title like this would be considered insulting (无礼的) here，it is liked by both the dog owners who come from all over the world and the visitors that come to cheer the contestants.To mark this special anniversary，this year's fair that was themed “Dog Days of Summer”featured among other things，including an exhibit featuring the contestants and winners from the last 25 years.As for the winner? Unlike last year，when he had flown in all the way from London，England，this year's title winner was Chico，California resident Walle，who beat out 29 other equally “ugly contestants”. The refreshing part was that Walle，who happened to be a last minute entrant(参赛者)，is not a nearly hairless，Chinese Crested Chihuahua or a mix of both breeds，which have been dominating the contest for many years now. Instead，he is a mutt mix—part beagle，part basset and part boxer.The four－year－old impressed the judges with his giant head and humped back. As one of them put it，he looked as though he had been photoshopped with pieces from various dogs and maybe a few other animals. It exactly represents the kind of natural “ugliness”they were looking for! Along with the title，the first time entrant received a cash prize of $1，500 as well as scheduled appearances on NBC's weekend Today on Sunday，the Today Show on Monday and the Jimmy Kimmel Show on Wednesday.Though the competition may seem unbelievable to some people，it is held just for fun and organized by an animal psychiatrist who not only vets the dogs before they enter the competition to ensure they are healthy，but also has a “pet”talk with them to ensure they are also happy. It is also important to remember all the contestants come from homes where they are loved because of their rather unusual looks. After all，beauty is in the eye of the beholder!【解题导语】在2013年6月21日举行的世界上最丑的狗的比赛上，一条三个品种的杂交狗赢得了“世界上最丑的狗”这个头衔。

The question of what children learn, and how they should learn, is continually being debated and redebated. Nobody dares any longer to defend the old system, the learning of lessons parrot-fashion, the grammar-with-a-whip system, which was good enough for our grandparents. The theories of modem psychology have stepped in to argue that we must understand the need of children. Children are not just small adults; they are children who must be respected as much.Well, you may say, this is as it should be, a good idea. But think further. What happens? "Education" becomes the responsibility not of teachers, but of psychologists (心里学家). What happens then? Teachers worry too much about the psychological implications (暗示) of their lessons, and forget about the subjects themselves. If a child dislikes a lesson, the teacher feels that it is his fault, not the child’s. So teachers worry whether history is "relevant" to modern young children. And do they dare to recount stories about violence? Or will this make the children themselves violent? Can they tell their classes about children of different races, or will this encourage racial hatred? Why teach children to write grammatical sentences? Verbal expression is better. Sums? Arithmetic? No: Real-life mathematical situations are more understandable.You see, you can go too far. Influenced by educational theorists, who have nothing better to do than to write books about their ideas, teachers leave their teacher-training colleges filled with grand, psychological ideas about children and their needs. They make elaborate, sophisticated (精致的，复杂的) preparations and try out their "modem methods" on the long-suffering children. Since one "modem method" rapidly replaces another the poor kids will have had a good bellyful by the time they leave school. Frequently the modem methods are so sophisticated that they fail to be understood by the teachers, let alone the children; even more often, the relaxed discipline so essential for the " informal" feelings the class must have, prevents all but a handful of children from learning anything.1. People do not dare defend the old system mainly because under the old system________.A. too much grammar was taught to childrenB. children were spoiled (宠坏)C. children were treated as grown-upsD. children were made to learn passively(被动的)2. What view do the modem psychologists hold?A. Children must be understood and respected.B. Children are small adults and know what they need.C. Children are better off without learning lessons.D. Education of children is the responsibility of psychologists.3. What happens when teachers pay too much attention to the psychology of their lessons?A. They find that the children dislike the lessons.B. They tend to blame students for their failure.C. They do not pay enough attention to the actual lessons.D. They no longer want to teach children history.4. Grammatical sentences are regarded as unimportant because ________.A. it is better to use verbs onlyB. words are said out of natural feelings onlyC. talking freely and naturally without sentences is a better form of expressionD. it is felt that formal grammar rules might cause unnatural expressions5. According to the passage, the modern methods are understood by________.A. neither teachers nor pupilsB. only a handful of teachers and pupilsC. the more sophisticated teachersD. everyone who enjoys the relaxed discipline of the informal classes。

Tea drinking was common in China for about one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.Tea was rare and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more appreciate of tea. Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day an outstanding French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added. She found it so agreeable. Because she was such a great lady, her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few British people drink tea without milk.At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a submerging(沉浸) feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, tea-time was born.56．Which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into Britain?A．The British got expensive tea from India.B．Tea reached Britain from Holland.C．The British were the first people in Europe who drank tea.D．It was not until the 17th century that the British had tea.57．This passage mainly discusses.A．the history of tea drinking in BritainB．how tea became a popular drink in BritainC．how the British got the habit of drinking teaD．how tea-time was born58．People in Europe began to drink tea with milk because.A．it tasted like milkB．it tasted more pleasantC．it became a popular drinkD．Madame de Sevigne was such a lady with great social influence that people tried to copy the way she drank tea59．We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was m ostly due to the influence of .A．a famous French lady B．the ancient ChineseC．the upper social class D．people in Holland【参考答案】56---59、BADC阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Friendship has been the favorite subject of movie makers for a long time. Many movies are based onlovely relationships like friendship. Friendship can be between two persons or among more than two persons. Movies based on friendship make us remember that the relationship among friends is delicate(需要小心处理的). These movies also show how important it is to have a true friend in life and to own the friendship.Friendship is described in different ways in movies. These movies show different faces of this lovely relationship including the pleasant and interesting faces. Let us discuss how friendship is described in movies. Friends share common interests: In most of the movies, it is shown that two people become friends easily when they share some common interests. For example, two friends may be in love of the same sports, studying in the same school or living in the same neighborhood. You can see such friendship in movies such as“Harry Potter”and“Lord of Rings”. Harry Potter has two friends. All of them are interested in the use of magic. Friends make sacrifices(牺牲): In most of the movies, friends make sacrifices for each other. A good example is“Sholay”. In this movie, there are two friends Jay and Veeru who are there for each other till death. Jay sacrifices his life to save his friend.Friends never run away from difficulties: In movies, it is always shown that true friends always stand up for their friends in times of difficulties.Understanding: In movies, friends understand each other without even saying a word. A single smile can brighten up the faces of all the friends. 【文章大意】电影中的友谊是社会和现实生活中友情的反映。

定额市鞍钢阳光实验学校2015高考英语阅读、完形填空（四月）冲刺自练（9）答案阅读理解It is probably the strangest sportanyone has ever invented. And at firstsight, it looks like the easiest.Competitors have to do two things. Thefirst is to stand still. The second is toplace their hands anywhere on the body of a car, and keep it there. This is where things start getting difficult. Lots of people are doing the same thing. And the winner of the“handathon”contest is the person who can carry on doing it for the longest time. That person gets to own the car.It still seems to be an easy thing to do. At the beginning it is. Anyone can stand still. But when the contest has been going for four or five days, standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world. And keeping the hand in place over this time becomes an act of serious attention. After a few days, the hand seems to belong to someone else—someone who wants to go home and get some sleep.Competitors are allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat, drink or do whatever else is necessary. No one is allowed to lean on the car for support. Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention. They also need to be able to develop special skills.Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter. Entrants in the Longview handathon certa inly don’t seem to do much preparation. Most say they will prepare by“getting lots of sleep”. Others say they will“eat healthy food”or“pray for success”. The whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end.Handathons are competitions, but there is little rivalry(敌对)between competitors. They help each other out and keep each other’s spirits up. People who drop out early return with food, drink and encouragement. 【文章大意】双手放在车身任何部位, 静立不动, 你能坚持多久? 本文介绍了一项看似简单, 实则类似于马拉松的运动形式“handathon”。

But her future hasn’t always looked so bright.While her mother，Bekelech，sacrificed immensely for Genzeb，she would not have been able to continue sending her to school.When her husband died，Bekelech was the sole provider，for their five children.In order for them to survive，she began the daily routine of walking approximately 8－10 miles a day collecting sticks to sell near her 8′×10′ home in Kichone.It wouldn’t have been long before Genzeb would have been forced to quit school in order to help her mom.But Bright Future changed all that. Genzeb has been at Bright Future for 3 years.Since Ethiopian schools let out early，Genzeb walks to the facility right after lunch.Because of her high ability，she even helps teach the younger children there，building confidence and locking in important foundational academic skills.There’s also other meaningful opportunities Genzeb experiences which allow her eyes to be opened to the different opportunities that are available to her if she completes her studies.Field trips are one of her most favorite activities of all.She especially loved the one to Addis Ababa University. She knows it goes beyond fun trips，though.“I am happy because I get extra help for school from Bright Future.”Genzeb shares.At so many levels，her involvement with Bright Future allows her to receive a better education，which she values.For one day she wants to help people in need by becoming a doctor.And now she knows，that with a lot of hard work，that dream might just become a reality. 1．What does the underlined word “sole” in the second paragraph probably mean?

阅读理解。 A murder will occur this weekend in the peaceful seaside town of Langley, Washington. In fact, a murder has occurred there every February for the past 25 years. But don’t panic! It’s all part of the town’s yearly Mystery Weekend. What began as a local event in 1984 now attracts visitors from over the U.S. and even abroad. Would-be detectives（侦探）arrive and check in at the visitor center on Saturday. There, they receive a packet, including a newspaper with details about the crime and information telling where to find clues（线索）. Participants then travel to various shops, restaurants and other downtown locations, picking up clues as they go. Along the way, they encounter and interview suspects played by local townspeople. Most Langley residents participate in some way in the Mystery Weekend, a true community（社区）event. Amateur sleuths have until Sunday at 4:00 p.m. to solve the crime and turn in their guesses. Then as everyone gathers, the murderer is found and arrested, and prizes are awarded for correct answers. It’s the perfect ending for a murder mystery and enormous fun for those who get to play detective. For visitors, Mystery Weekend is not only fun but also a great introduction to the charms of Langley. It’s a very attractive community with historic buildings, exciting ocean views and above all, friendly people. Since Langley is on an island, a fun way to get there is by taking a car ferry to the nearby town of Clinton and then driving the rest of the way. Langley has a delightful selection of inns with
