2014届各区二模英语试卷阅读理解 (C篇 14套)
2014届各区二模英语试卷阅读理解（C篇14套）Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words:（1）We are now living in the modern city. Most of the energy which we are using for heating lighting, transportation and manufacturing (工业生产) is from fossil fuels (化石燃料). These are carbon-based (碳基燃料) fuels from oils, coal and natural gas. When we burn these fuels we release (释放) heat which p___1____ the energy.There are three major disadvantages to using these fuels. Firstly, they are causing climate problems because of the g___2____ effect. When we burn fossil fuels they produce carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) which causes global warming. Secondly, when we have used up all our coal, oil and natural gas, we will have n___3____ left to burn. Thirdly, they are not very efficient. The internal combustion engine that we use in most cars, trucks and buses, for example, is only about 14% efficient.Scientists are working on an alternative (替代的) fuel—hydrogen (氢). There are a number of advantages to using hydrogen as a fuel. Firstly, because two thirds of the e___4____surface is water and water is made of hydrogen and oxygen (氧). There is an almost unlimited (无限的) supply of hydrogen. Secondly, burning hydrogen does not cause global warming. Thirdly it is much more efficient than carbon-based fuels.Unfortunately there are problems with hydrogen at the present time: there is the problem of separating it from water c___5____, if it is too expensive, we can not afford to use it; and there is the difficulty of storing it. It can be stored under pressure but high pressure tanks are far from sage. It can also be stored as a liquid but only at extremely（非常）low temperatures. It seems likely, therefore, that there will have to be completely new technologies before hydrogen replaces fossil fuels. S___6____ these problems is an urgent matter. Although China, India and Australia have huge quantities（大量）of cheap coal, and there are still l___7____ oil and gas reserves（储备）elsewhere, the e ffects on the planet’s climate will be catastrophic（灾难性的）if they are used.1. p______________2. g________________3. n_____________4. e_____________5. c____________6.

But if you watch the credits (字幕) at the end of a movie, you’ll find hundreds of other names. Some of them are not f____1___, but they play the most important roles in filmmaking. Here are three important jobs behind the scenes.Makeup artist: Making characters look believableThe makeup artist’s work sounds simple. But it’s more than just making the lead actress look beautiful. If the hero gets a cut on his face, the makeup artist creates that cut, and it has to look e____2____ the same tomorrow. And the special makeup for a monster or a space alien can take six hours! Sometimes makeup artists have only fifteen minutes to p____3____ twenty actors for a crowd scene. Their work must always be careful and good, so you don’t notice it when you watch the movie.Special effects coordinator (协调人): Making impossible things look realAfter a movie, people often ask, ―How did they do that?‖In films, people can fly, dinosaurs walk through cities, and spaceships travel to other p____4_____ in outer space. These are all the work of the special effects coordinator. Some special effects, especially in science fiction movies, are made with computers. O___5____ are made by machines, which can make a rainy day or a snowy night at any time of the year. Fires and explosions in movies are all created with special effects.Foley artist: Creating the sounds of the cinemaThink of your favourite scary movie and its sounds – footsteps, loud rain, and creaking doors. All of these are the work of Foley artist. Many sounds can’t be recorded d_____6____ the filming of a movie, so Foley artists p___7____ them in their studios (工作室). They create the wounds of a fight scene, and the wind, rain, and thunder in the background. In a Foley artist’s studio, there are even special floor recording different kinds of footsteps.Next time you see a movie, look for these names in the credits.1. f______________2. e____________3. p___________4. p____________5. ___________6. d_____________7. p_____________Key:1. f amous2. e xactly3. p repare4. p lanets5.

A short distance ahead of me was a mom and her three-year-old daughter. The little girl was holding a string that was attached to a helium balloon(氢气球).All of a sudden, a strong w 1 took the balloon from the little girl. I thought she would scream and c 2 .But, no! As the little girl turned to watch her balloon rise into the sky, she h 3 shouted: ―Wow!‖I didn’t realize it at that moment, but that little girl had taught me something.Later that day, I r 4 a phone call from a person with news of an unexpected problem. I felt like saying:―Oh no, what should we do?‖ But thinking of that little girl, I found myself saying: ―Wow, that’s interesti ng! How can I help you?‖ One thing is for sure---life is always going to put us off balance with things we don’t expect. However, how we respond(反应) to them is our c 5 . We can choose to be frustrated(沮丧的) or fascinated.No matter what the situation, a fascinated ―Wow!’ will always b 6 a frustrated ―Oh, no.‖ So the next time you experience one of life’s unexpected guests, think of that little girl and make it a ―Wow!‖i____7_____ of an ―oh, no.‖ The ―Wow!‖ response always works.1. w_____________2. c___________3. h_____________4. r___________5. c_____________6. b_____________7. i______________Key:1. wind2. cry3. happily4.received5. choice6. beat7. insteadComplete the following sentences as required: (4)Have you ever seen an exhibition of rare Mexican grey wolves?

But a lot of my friends did very l 1 work. Some just did enough to pass the exam. Others didn’t do quite enough. Fred Braines was such a student. He spent more time drinking in the T 2 House than working in the library.Once at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in Chinese. The test had 100 questions. Beside each question we had to write ―True‖ or ―False‖. While I was studying in my room, Fred was watching TV. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night he looked very e 3__ . Then he told me of his idea.―It’s very simple. There are 100 questions and I have to get 50 right to pass the test. I will take a coin into the examination room. I haven’t studied a Chinese book for months, so I will toss the coin. In this way, I’m sure I’ll get h 4 of the questions right.‖The next day, Fred came happily into the examination room. As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour, he wrote down his answers. Then he left, half an hour b 5 the rest of us.The next day, Fred met his Chinese teacher at the school gate. ―Oh, good,‖ he said. ―I am sure you have got the r 6 of the test. Did I pass the test?‖The teacher looked at him and smiled, ―Ah, it’s you, Braines. Just a minute.‖ Then the teacher reached his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it into the air, caught in his hand and looked at it. ― I am sorry, Braines, you f 7 !‖1. l______________2.

The mother said, ―Well, I can buy you the necklace, but when we get home, we should discuss what you can do to pay for it. Can we do that?‖ Penny agreed with much h 2 , and she got the plastic necklace she liked.How much Penny loved the necklace! She w 3 it everywhere and every minute.

(7)The big Town Hall clock was striking midnight when Frank began to cross the bridge. The dark night air was cold and slightly wet, and he could see nobody walking on the street.Frank was anxious to get home and his footsteps rang loudly on the pavement. When he reached the middle of the bridge, he thought he could hear someone coming near b 1 him. He looked back but could see no one. However, the sound continued and Frank began to walk more quickly. Then he slowed down again, feeling ashamed at having acted so foolishly. There was n 2 to fear in a town as quiet as this.Just then, he heard short, quick steps. By the time he reached the other side of the bridge, he could almost feel someone at his heels. He turned round and there stood a man dressed in a large overcoat. A hat was pulled down over his eyes and very l 3 of his face could be seen. Frank said something about the weather, trying to sound friendly and c 4 . The man did not answer but asked rudely where Oakfield House was. Frank pointed to a big house in the distance and the stranger continued his way.Then Frank w 5 why the stranger had wanted to find Oakfield House at such an hour. He knew that the people who lived there were very rich. Almost without realizing what he was, he began following the stranger q 6 . The man didn’t notice him at all. Soon the man was outside the house and Frank saw him look up at the windows. A l 7 was still on and the man waited until it went out. When about half an hour had passed, Frank saw him climb noiselessly over the wall and heard him drop onto the ground at the other side.Now Frank realized what was going to happen.

But we can also work out mysteries (谜案) on our own.

ActiveThe sports utility vehicle (SUV多用途车辆) was invented in the early 1990s. It quickly became very popular in the United States. There are several r 1 for this. It is larger than most of cars. It can carry lots of people, bicycles, toys, dogs and other things. This makes it popular with families. It also has four doors and a big back door, so getting in or out is e 2 . Since an SUV is taller than most cars, the driver can see above other cars and have a better sight of the road. With a lot more p 3 , an SUV can go faster than most cars. It can also go on very rough roads where other cars cannot go.The SUV is popular with many people, but other people do not like these cars. First, they are larger than most other cars. This means that drivers of other cars may not be able to see the road w 4 . Also, SUVs are very heavy. If an SUV gets into an accident with a small car, the small car may be in s 5 trouble. Another problem with SUVs is that they are very expensive. They are expensive to buy --- about 50 percent more expensive than an average small car. They are also expensive to use, since they use a lot more gasoline (汽油) than smaller cars.There are two ways to solve these problems. One way is to change the way we think about them. Now they are sold as large cars. In the future, maybe they should be sold as trucks. Then people with just a car license could not d 6 them. They would have to get a truck license. These licenses are more expensive and difficult to get, so p 7 fewer people would buy SUVs. The other way to solve SUV problems is to make them differently. Some people think that car companies should make big SUVs smaller and less dangerous. They should also make SUVs with less powerful engines. Then they would not use so much gasoline.1. r_____________2. e_______________3. p______________4. w____________5. s_______________6. d_____________7. p______________Key:1. reasons2. easier/easy3. power4. well5. serious6. drive7. probably/perhapsLibraries give kids a quiet and safe place to read and to learn. For more than 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans’ e 1 . But how are these book-filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out.Benjamin Franklin famously founded America’s first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its b 2 development in the American history in the late 1800’s. Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated (捐赠) millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie’s donations helped build 1,679 new libraries.Carnegie believed in the chances that libraries could o 3 Americans, young and old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have access（接触的机会）to books, lectures, news and more.Chances are that there is a public library in or near your c 4 . You can easily find one close to your home. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing. Seven out of ten libraries have free Internet. This opens many doors for people who cannot go online at home,i 5 the opportunity to apply for jobs online.Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program Read! Build! Play! adds reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images from the story h 6 . Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.Benjamin Franklin once said, ―The doors of wisdom are never s7 .‖ As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct!1. e_____________2. b_______________3. o______________4. c____________5. i_______________6. h_____________7. s______________Key:1. education2.biggest3.offer4. community5. including6.happily7. shutI didn’t think I had a passion (激情).

I was bored. Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, s 1 on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed in rags (衣衫褴褛). He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, for I had seen many like him b 2 .But in some ways he was d 3 . This man was not sitting down with a sad expression. He had a radio in his hand and was dancing h 4 to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious (珍贵)thing he had.― Mum, why does that man have a radio even thought he’s homeless?‖ I asked.―He bought it,‖ she replied.―But if he’s homeless, why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He w 5 it on something he doesn’t need.‖―Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important things. We need happiness, too.‖That man must c 6 enough music to buy a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that happiness is the k 7 to life.Without it, there’s nothing to look forward to.

It’s better tchina cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.RecycleRecycle means “change things into something else”. Though it takes energy to change something intoem. Find out what can be recycled insomething else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning thyour neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes.

For years, scientists said “no.” or “we don But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers(天文学家). They believeintelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe. They also think we sill soon contact thesebeings(人；生物).Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time.Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets t intelli gent life,” say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size—the universe is huge. “Hubble Telescope(哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies,” says Shosta“And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion st ars. Some planets going around these starsmight be similar to Earth.”In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes(高倍望远镜) allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth—in other solar systems.These planets might have intelligent life.Have beings from space already visited Earth? “Probably not,” says Shostak. “It’s a long way However, intelligent beings may contact us in other way, such as radio signals(信号). In fact, they may betrying to communicate with us now, but we don’t have the right tools to receive their messages. However,this is changing.

astronomers（天文学家）．They believe intelligent life exists （存在）somewhere in the universe．They also think we sill soon contact these beings（人；生物）．Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets？The first reason is time．Scientists believe the universe is about 12billion years old．"This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life，"say Shostak and Barnett．The second reason is size﹣the universe is huge．"Tools like the Hubble Telescope（哈勃望远镜）have shown that there are at least 100billion galaxies，"says Shostak．"And our galaxy，the Milky Way，has at least 100billion stars．Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth．"In the past，it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe．But now，powerful telescopes（高倍望远镜）allow scientists to discover smaller planets ﹣the size of Mars or Earth﹣in other solar systems．These planets might have intelligent life．Have beings from space already visited Earth？"Probably not，"says Shostak．"It'sa long way away．However，intelligent beings may contact us in other way，suchas radio signals（信号）．In fact，they may be trying to communicate with us now，。

2014届各区二模英语试卷阅读理解（D篇14套）
2014届各区⼆模英语试卷阅读理解（D篇14套）Uniforms, used for identifying people, are seen almost everywhere in the world. They are a part of everyday life. Let?s look at some of the reasons why people wear uniforms and the types of people that wear uniforms.Many children have to wear a uniform at school. Boys and girls must wear the same coloured clothes and a school tie. There is often a school badge on the jacket or shirt. There are many reasons for having a school uniform. Firstly, the uniform shows that the children attend the same school. It is important for children to feel they belong to a school and that they identify with their school. Secondly, the uniform makes it easy for other people to tell which school they go to and the children are proud of their school. Thirdly, school uniforms are comfortable, smart clothing. Finally, it is cheaper for parents to buy one set of clothes for their child. Most parents cannot afford to buy lots of expensive, fashionable clothes for their children.It is not only children who wear uniforms. Think about police officers, bus drivers, security guards, chefs, waiter, and bank clerks. They all wear special clothes for their jobs. These clothes are comfortable and practical for their daily work. Their uniforms also allow the public to recognize them at once.Many other people wear uniforms too. A business person usually wears a dark suit, a white shirt, a tie, and carries a briefcase to the office. A builder wears jeans, strong shoes and a T-shirt. The clothes a person wears tell other people the kind of job the person does.Go to a shopping mall at the weekend. You will see groups of teenagers wearing blue jeans, colourful T-shirts and baseball caps. These clothes say, …We are young and free. We do not need to work.? But they are all wearing the same clothes as part of the same group. Although they may not like the uniform they have to wear at school, they like to have a group identity. At the weekend, they have a group identity by wearing the same styles of clothes as their friends. This is also a uniform -----the uniform of youth.Clothes communicate many things about the wearers: their jobs, their social groups, even their attitudes. What do you want to tell people through the clothes you wear?1. Are children the only people who wear uniforms?________,_____________________________________________________________.2. Why are children on their best behaviour when they wear their school uniforms?_________ ___________________________________________________________.3. Why do police officers wear uniforms?_____________________________________________________________________.4. Can you describe a teenager?s weekend ?uniform??_____________________________________________________________________.5. What do teenagers? clothes tell you about them?_____________________________________________________________________.6. What do you want to tell people through the clothes you wear?_____________________________________________________________________.Key:1.No, they aren’t. / No, adults wear uniforms, too.2. Because people know which school they can go to / and the children are proud of their school._3. Because they wear uniforms so that people can recognize them. / These clothes are comfortable and practical for their daily work. / because they think people can recognize them easily.4. (Their weekend “uniform” is ) a pair of jeans, as colourful T-shirt and a basketball cap.5. They tell us that) they are young and free. / that they don’t need to work / that they are all part of the same group.6. I want to tell people that I am a shiny, healthy and active young boy through the clothes I wear._He felt strange when he went back to his college in Oxford. He had left the college 25 years before, and he had never been back. As he walked up from station, he slowly began to feel the same excitement that he had felt when first went there as an 18-year-old boy. When he received the email inviting him to the reunion (重聚) for the people of his year at college, he had felt only happy and excited. Now, as he got nearer to the college, he was nervous, yes, definitely nervous. Perhaps his classmates had all been more successful than him, or at least earned more money than him.He was happy in his job as a university lecturer, but the others were probably all lawyers, accountants and cankers. Who would be there at the reunion? He wondered. He was proud that he had studied there and glad to be back, but at the same time sad that the college was no longer part of his life, sad that he couldn?t bring back those days which meant so much to him.The porter gave him a key to a room in the college. He couldn?t believe it. It was his old room. As he walked through the door, he was surprised to feel a tear rolling down his checks. He had never thought he would feel like this. He tried to remind himself that his times there had not always been happy, that there had been problems too. I t was almost time for dinner, so he put on his black dinner jacket and bow tie and walked down to the dining hall, wondering if any of his old friends would be there.He walked into the dining hall, and there she was. She had changed a little. The smile which had made him fall in love with her was still the same. But she was sitting with the man she had chosen to marry, the man she had chosen to marry instead of him. He had thought the pain had gone, but it hit him in the stomach like a boxer?s punch. Was it wrong for him to have come back? Or should he …?1. How old was the writer when he went to college?__________________________________________________________________________2. How did he feel when he received the email inviting him to his college reunion?____________________________________________________________________________3. Why did he feel sad on his way to his college?____________________________________________________________________________4. The old room made him think of happy and sad times in the college, didn’t it?____________________________________________________________________________5. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?____________________________________________________________________________6. Please finish the last question.____________________________________________________________________________Key:1. 18 / Eighteen years old.2. Happy and excited.3. Because the college was no longer part of his life / he couldn’t bring back those days whichmeant so much to him.4. Yes, it did.5 .”The pain.”6. Should he come here with his wife? / Should he talk with them?Happiness is a feeling that lights up your eyes, makes your steps light and makes you want to sing for no reason. Everyone wants to be happy. But sometimes, a guest comes in without invitation. It?s unhappiness. Don?t let it get you down. Send it away.When you are happy, the world feels like a better place. As the saying goes: When you smile, the world smiles with you; when you cry, you cry alone. Wearing a smile makes you more charming(迷⼈的)and helps you to win lots of friends. A goodmood（⼼情）always gives you hope, which makes trouble and problems easier to handle.No matter how happy you are, it?s normal to feel angry, sad or gloomy once in a while. Life is full of ups and downs. We can? t change the way life is, but we can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one. To help us do this, it?s good to know some of the factors（因素）that influence happiness.One of the biggest factors is social relationships. People who are close to family and friends are happier than people who don?t have those r elationships. Talking and sharing is a good way to relax and build confidence. Knowing someone is there for you will make you braver and more outgoing.Another factor is work or school. If you enjoy school, even if you have lots of homework or extra classes, you will feel that your school life is meaningful and happy. But if you hate school, your negative attitude（消极的态度）may cause you to feel bored and upset that you hate to do so much work.A third factor is your attitude towards life. How do you feel if you fail in an exam? Maybe you think it?s unfair because you always study and should have got a good mark. You can?t stop blaming（责备）yourself. Or, maybe you accept it. You go through the paper carefully, find out why you made stupid mistakes, and tell your self, “Take it easy! I?ll do better next time!”Your attitude makes a big difference.Do you smile a lot or wear a long face most of the time?1.

He was a great TVnews reporter. When he was reporting in Rwanda, one heartbreaking momentmade a deep impression on me. When the camera showed all of the children whowere dying, suffered from terrible diseases, Jim ended his piece by saying thatwhen he got home, the first thing he was going to do was to put his arms aroundhis own children. Then I realized that he was diff erent, that he didn?t fall into anyof the modern television-news tricks, that he was not giving us any awful,artificial (假的) television-journalist reports out of（出于) pity. Instead, I waswatching a real reporter with a gift (天赋) for both words and slight differences.Then I read his book, We Are All the Same, about his friendship with Xolani Nkosi, a South African boy who became the international spokesman for AIDS (艾滋病). It is about the friendship between Wooten and a black child who was ten years old and already dying of AIDS. It is also a book about a great teacher and his student. But the teacher－the one with real wisdom and understanding about life－is the little boy, not the journalist. And, finally, it?s about a love story of Gail Johnson, Nkosi?s white mother who does her best to save the boy, and their love for each other. When reading the book, I felt touched from time to time.1. How did Jim Wooten feel when he saw the dying children in Rwanda?___________________________________________________________________.2.

He held a sign which said, "I am blind, please help me."There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the words.Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?"The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way."What he had written was, "Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it."Do you think the first sign and second sign were saying the same thing?Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.

They had to go by Dawson?s house, but as they got close, Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over the street. Like most, she was afraid of the man.Amy said not to worry. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown(皱眉)，but when he saw it was Amy, he gave a broad smile.Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight with her they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and gave them each an apple.Later, Janet asked Amy, “Everyone says he isn?t generous. Actually he?s the meanest man in town. How come he was so nice to us?”Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house, he wasn?t very friendly, but she pretended he was wearing an invisible smile and so she always smiled. It took a while, but one day he half-smiled back.After a while, he started smiling real smiles and then talked to her. She said he always offers her an apple now, and is always very kind.“An invisible smile?” questioned Janet.“Yes,” answered Amy, “My grandma told me that if I pretended I wasn?t afraid and pretended he was smiling an invisible smile at me and I smiled back at him, sooner or later he would really smile.”If we remember that everyone wears an invisible smile, we too will find t hat most people can?t resist our smile after a while.It?s so easy to get caught up in everyday life that we forget how simply we can bring cheer to ourselves and others.

When the films are not on at the cinema, I like to watch all the fashionable people down at the beach. Everywhere you look, there are famous film stars and directors. I saw three of my favourite stars walking around the festival yesterday. I was too nervous to talk to them, though.I did not realize that this festival was so old. It was first held in 1946. At this year?s festival, around twenty films are competing for the main prize, the Palme d’Or (⾦棕榈奖) . The films are from all around the world—Europe, Asia, North America, Africa…Some of the people who choose the winner this year are also great actors and directors.There are a lot of excellent Hollywood films as well, though they are not considered for prizes. There are so many different types of films, and lots of them are from countries which are not famous for the film-making business. For someone who loves films like me, this is Heaven!。
