2014 届高考英语阅读理解：2013暑假练习题(6)

2014高考英语阅读理解：2013暑假练习题（6）及答案解析(第A)When I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from China.When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans. Thankfully，we can get all these anywhere in India now.Still, her answer surprised me，“ Green tea.”As long as I can remember she didn’ t even drink Indian tea.I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses.At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian. It was a strange country.How things change! And how soon!Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”. And everyone is talking about China.The government of India has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done. A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment(投资) and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”．But it’_s_a_two way_street. I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Bangalore to train in software. Meanwhile, all the Indian IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China.No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago, was expected to hit about US $15 billion for last year and US $20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments.No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino Indian (中印)century as the two countries started on January 1 the Sino Indian Friendship Year.But what is still a wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea.[语篇解读]文章主要讲述了一个印度人对中国的印象：中国的发展令他惊讶不已。

2014高考英语文章阅读类 2013暑假练习题(22)

2014高考英语文章阅读类：2013暑假练习题〔22〕与答案解析AIsrael was happy, very happy. The news of a deal to bring home the kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit , a young man held prisoner by Hamas for five years，spread.But the happiness was hardened by the reality of the price Israelis had paid to set him free. The 1,027 Palestinian prisoners to be exchanged for the single Israeli corporal turned out to include men and women convicted(宣判有罪) of some of the worst terrorist attacks in the country."Ambivalent," says Aya Ilouz, of her feelings on the matter. Strolling in downtown Jerusalem with her husband Liron and their 5-month-old daughter Yael, the couple is so in sync on the question of the day that they finish each other's thoughts."Yes," says Liron, "we are very happy and excited to see Gilad meet his family. And on the other hand—""We are very concerned," says Aya."About what happens next," Liron explains. "When the next terrorist blows himself up, someone will have to answer."Just around the corner, on King George Street, Alan Bauer had been walking home with his son on March 21, 2002, when a Palestinian man named Mohammad Hashaika exploded a suicide vest packed with metal scraps. Eighty-four people were wounded that day. Of the three killed, one was a woman pregnant with twins.Though the bomber of course died, Israeli courts convicted the two women who drove him to the site of the bombing, easing his way past the Israeli checkpoint by buying flowers to carry in the Mother's Day crowd."These women, as I speak, are being released," Bauer says.Specifics have a way of weakening the joy of Shalit's release. Among the 477 prisoners released on Tuesday, in the first phase of the exchange, are an organizerof the 2002 Passover bombing that killed 30 people; a woman who developed an online relationship with a lovesick Israeli youth she then had murdered when he came to meet her; and the man who proudly displayed his bloody hands to the mob(暴民) gathered outside the Ramallah building where two Israeli soldiers were beaten to death after making a wrong turn on Oct. 12, 2000.When the list became public, relatives of terrorism victims appealed, without success, to Israel's supreme court to prevent the prisoner exchange. The court hearing was interrupted repeatedly by upset survivors, including Shvuel Schijveschuurder, who lost five of his family members in a 2001 attack at a Jerusalem Sbarro. To protest the release of the woman who drove the suicide bomber to the pizza restaurant, Schijveschuurder poured paint on a memorial to Yitzhak Rabin, the Prime Minister slain by an Israeli extremist for signing the Oslo Accords."When we say 1,027 prisoners will be released, it's abstract, it doesn't mean anything," says Eliad Moreh Rosenberg, who was wounded in the 2002 terrorism bombing at the Hebrew University cafeteria. "But for victims of terror, it's a reality."Israeli officials calculate that 60% of those released resume terrorism attacks. To help prevent that resumption this time around, Israel insisted that most of the prisoners liberated be sent either to the Gaza Strip —which is sealed off from Israel and under the control of Hamas, which says it continues to observe a cease-fire —or into exile〔流放〕 in Turkey, Qatar or Syria. About 100 arrived in the West Bank, where the government led by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas works diligently to suppress terrorism, cooperating with Israeli intelligence and military.With the future uncertain, on Tuesday, Jewish Israelis stopped and stared at televisions wherever they came upon them. On the sidewalk at midmorning outside the 24-hour Hillel Market, 50 people were gathered under a flat screen to catch the first images of Shalit, looking painfully thin . "It was moving. It was very exciting," says Anat Rubin, 42. "I just saw photos of him getting out of the car. It gave mechills." But she says she heard Hamas say that, learning from success, it was keen to kidnap more Israelis in order to win freedom for the 6,000 Palestinians still in Israeli prisons. "I don't want to see the photos of them doing the V for victory," she says. "Like they won. They are really releasing murderers. I'm happy and sad all together."41.The word “Ambivalent〞 in paragraph 3 is close to _________ in meaning.A happyB movedC contradictedD terrified42.Why do the Israelis feel concerned about the exchange of prisoners?A Because it’s not fair to exchange 1 with 1,027.B Because they are concerned about the health of Shalit.C. Because they are worried more terrorist blows are coming.D Because they want to know when and where the prisoners will be set free.43.Of the following statements, which one is TRUE?A All the 1,027 prisoners were released at a time.B Among the released prisoners, Shvuel Schijveschuurder was caught because hepoured paint on a memorial to Yitzhak Rabin.C All the Israelis are not for the prisoner exchange.D The released prisoners can go wherever they like.44.What’s the main idea of the passage?A.Israeli people’s attitudes to the prisoner exchange.B.How the kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit managed to return home.C.The stories of many terrorist attack victims.D.Life of every single Israeli is highly valued.45.The underlined “them〞 in last paragraph is referring to __________.A released PalestiniansB HamasC Israeli officialsD 50 people under aflat screenBI'm flying high today after hearing the news that Bamboo People is a top ten book on the Best Fiction for Young Adults 2011list from the American Library Association.

2014届高考英语阅读理解 2013暑假练习题(15)

2014高考英语阅读理解：2013暑假练习题〔15〕与答案解析AHonesty, my mum always used to tell me, is the best policy. Of course, this didn't include her when she told me that if I didn’t eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn't give me any presents.But when it comes to medicine, I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients. After all, the doctor-patient relationship is based on trust, and therefore honesty is essential, or so I thought.I had just started working in geriatrics(老年病科). Mr. McMahon was brought in when his baby was found very swollen. I took a medical history from his daughter who had accompanied him in the ambulance. She'd been his main carer for years. I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history. "Has he lost any weight recently?"I asked, "Well, it's funny you should mention that, but yes. "She said slowly. There was silence for a few moments."Why? What are you worried about?" she asked, I hesitated. She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth. "Well, we need to prove it's not cancer. " I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order.Half an hour later, a nurse called me: "Mr. McMahon's daughter broke down－she said you told her he had cancer. " My heart sank. By the time I arrived at the ward, my consultant was already there, explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer. I stood silently at the end of the bed. My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr. McMahon, she turned to me. "Why on earth did you do that?" she asked in disbelief. I looked at her and bit my lip. "She asked me what I was worried about and I told her. " I said, hanging my head. "And give her more to worry about?" replied my consultant. "You don't say the word 'cancer' until it's confirmed. Even if you suspect it, thinkvery carefully before you tell people. "As it turned out, it wasn't cancer. But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one they're sometimes selective in what they hear－and as a doctor it's important to be mindful of this. In being truthful, I'd made the situation worse.51. The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to show that the author_________.A.misunderstood the doctor-patient relationshipB.was anxious to receive Christmas giftsC.regarded honesty as the best policyD.had an unhealthy eating habit52. The author's consultant was angry with him because _________.A.he told the daughter what he suspected.B.he delayed running the necessary tests.C.he failed to confirm the parent's disease.D.he forgot what the consultant had advised.53. The author hung his head (the underlined part in Para. 4) because he wasfeeling_________.A.guiltyB.hurtC.disappointedD.helpless54.What lesson has the author learnt from his experience?A.Learning from parents is necessary.B.Jumping to a conclusion is dangerous.C.Telling the truth may not always be the best solution.D.Selecting pleasant words may not be the perfect policy.参考答案------------------51—55CAACA********************************************************完毕DBobby Moresco grew up in New York's Hell's Kitchen, a tough working-class neighborhood on Manhattan's West Side. But Hell's Kitchen lies right next door to Broadway, and the bright lights attracted Bobby from the time he was a teen. Being stage-struck was hardly what a street kid could admit to his partners. Fearing their ridicule, he told no one, not even his girlfriend, when he started taking acting lessons at age 17. If you were a kid from the neighborhood, you became a cop, construction worker, longshoreman or criminal. Not an actor.Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few blocks east. He studied acting, turned out for all the cattle calls -- and during the decade of the 1970s made a total of $2,000. "I wasn't a good actor, but I had a driving need to do something different with my life," he says.He moved to Hollywood, where he drove a cab and worked as a bartender(酒吧服务员). "My father said, 'Stop this craziness and get a job; you have a wife and daughter.' “But Moresco kept working at his chosen craft.Then in 1983 his younger brother Thomas was murdered in a mob-linked killing. Moresco moved back to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain and the patrimony of Hell's Kitchen. Half-Deserted Streets, based on his brother's killing, opened at a small Off-Broadway theater in 1988. A Hollywood producer saw it and asked him to work on a screenplay.His reputation grew, and he got enough assignments to move back to Hollywood. By 2003, he was again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis, a director who had befriended him. Haggis wanted help writing a film about the countryafter September 11. The two worked on the writing, but every studio in town turned it down. They kept pitching it. Studio executives, however, thought no one wanted to see a severe, honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision in modern America.Moresco believed so strongly in the script that he borrowed money, sold his house. He and Haggis kept pushing. At last the writers found an independent film producer who would take a chance, but the upfront money was too little, Moresco delayed his salary.Crash slipped into the theaters in May 2005, and quietly became both a hit and a critical success. It was nominated for six Academy Awards and won three -- Best Picture, Best Film Editing and Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Paul Haggis and the kid from Hell's Kitchen.At age 54, Bobby Moresco became an overnight success. "If you have something you want to do in life, don't think about the problems," he says, "think about other ways to get it done."55. Rearrange the following statements in terms of time order:a. His work Half-Deserted Streets drew attention as it opened at a small Off-Broadway theaterb. Unexpectedly Crash became both a hit and a huge success.c. He moved to Hollywood to be a taxi driver and a waiter.d. He started learn acting in spite of hardness with the belief of doing something different.e. His younger brother Thomas was killed in conflict among bullies.A. d; c; e; a; bB. d; e; c; b; aC. c; d; e; a; bD. c; e; d; b; a56. Why Bobby Moresco did not tell anyone that he started taking lessons at age 17?A. He wanted to give his girlfriend a surprise.B. His girlfriend did not allow him to do this.C. He was afraid of being laughed at.D. He had no talent for acting.57. Which of the following sentences is NOT true?A. His father did not support his work as a bartender.B. Before he became an overnight success, his life experienced ups and downs.C. His brother’s death inspired his writing Half-Deserted Streets.D. Moresco grew up in New York's Hell's Kitchen which is a few blocks east of Broadway.58. The Studio executives turned the script Crash down because ______________.A. they thought the script would not be popular.B. the script was not well written.C. they had no money to make the film based on the script.D. they thought Moresco was not famous.59. What’s the best title of the article?A. The Road to SuccessB. Try It a Different WayC. A Talented man—MorescoD. Moresco’s Perseverance60. Which of the following can best describe Bobby Moresco?A. initiative (主动) and persistentB. shy but hardworkingC. caring and braveD. aggressive and modest参考答案第二局部〔50分，每一小题2分〕56—60 CDABA**********************************************************完毕第二局部：阅读理解〔共25小题，每题2分，总分为50分〕AAfter giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me. I was told it would mean a great deal to him, so I agreed.During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams.I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?〞 He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me. When we had finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.〞Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before: Dear Dick,My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me.I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live any more, but I still smile as much as I can.I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I will never get to do that. However, I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.Your friend,Matthew48. The boy looked forward to meeting the author because_________.A. he was also good at weight liftingB. he wanted to get to the Olympics and win a medalC. he was one of the author’s studentsD. he admired the author very much49. From the passage we learn that _________.A. Matthew was an athleteB. Matthew was an optimistic and determined boyC. The author used to have the same disease as Matthew hadD. Matthew became a champion before he died50.

What would be the best title for this passage?A. A sick boy.B. A special friend.C. A real champion.D. A famous athlete.48--51 DBDC**************************************************************************完毕BCyberspace, the connections between computers in different places, considered as a real place where information, messages and pictures exist, mirrors the real world in many ways. People ask for information, play games, and share hobbies. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love.Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen．Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace．Rather, a person’s thoughts----or at least the thoughts they type-----are what really count．So even the shyest person can become a chat room star．Usually, this “faceless〞communication doesn’t create problems．Identitydoesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies．In fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation．Where else can so many people come together to chat? But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with．They’re looking for serious love relationships．Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask．Some of these relationships actually succeed．Others fail miserably．Supporters of online relationships state that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first．Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way．But critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace．Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them．Internet users can carefully craft their words to fit whatever image they want to give．And they don’t have to worry about what their “nonverbal〞communication is doing for their image．In a sense, they’re not really themselves．All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace．But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship．With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fill in the blanks．〞This inevitably leads to disappointment when couples meet in person．How someone imagines an online friend is often quite more different than the real person．So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pi oneer Clifford Stoll: “Life in the real world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen．〞52．According to the passage, chatting in the cyberspace.A．stresses more about people’s identityB．needs people to be rich in knowledgeC．puts e mphasis on people’s thoughtsD．allows people to discuss politics secretly53．People who are against online dating think.A．what is said online is under control of the InternetB．one may not show the real self in cyberspaceC．the faceless communication is conservativeD．it is hard to protect the other’s identity54．By saying “With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination ‘fill in the blanks’〞, the writer means that.A．people may be disappointed when they meet in personB．the Internet makes it easy for people to imagine how others view themC．the Internet allows people to get more information about their loved ones D．people usually get to know each other by chance through the Internet 55．We can infer from the last paragraph that Clifford.A．demands to develop the computer systemB．believes it hopeless to find love onlineC．encourages people to enjoy modern lifeD．supports to look for love in the real life参考答案 52—55、CBAD*************************************************完毕。

2014 届高考英语阅读理解：2013暑假练习题(11)

2014高考英语阅读理解：2013暑假练习题（11）及答案解析(第1 篇)Three years ago，five parrots were set free in a wild place of Arizona，thousands of miles from the Channel Islands in Jersey where they had been looked after by zookeepers. No evolutionary strategies informed them how to behave in this new landscape of mountainous pine forest unoccupied by their kind for 50 years. To the researchers‟ surprise, they failed to make contact with a group of wild parrots imported from Mexico and set free at the same time. Within 24 hours the reintroducing ended in failure, and the poor birds were back in cages, on their way to the safety of the Arizona reintroduction programme.Ever since then, the programme has enjoyed great success，mainly because the birds now being set free are Mexican birds illegally caught in the wild, confiscated (没收)on arrival north of the border, and raised by their parents in the safety of the programme.The experience shows how little we know about the behaviour and psychology(心理) of parrots, as Peter Bennett, a bird researcher，points out: “Reintroducing species of high intelligence like parrots is a lot more difficult. People like parrots, always treating them as nothing more than pets or valuable …collectables‟．”Now that many species of parrot are in immediate danger of dying out, biologists are working together to study the natural history and the behaviour of this family of birds. Last year was an important turning point：conservationists founded the World Parrot Trust, based at Hayle in Cornwall, to support research into both wild and caged birds.Research on parrots is vital for two reasons. First, as the Arizona programme showed, when reintroducing parrots to the wild, we need to be aware of what the birds must know if they are to survive in their natural home. We also need to learn more about the needs of parrots kept as pets, particularly as the Trust‟s campaign does not attempt to discourage the practice, but rather urges people who buy parrots as pets to choose birds raised by humans.[语篇解读]本文通过在亚利桑那州五只鹦鹉被释放的故事，说明了鹦鹉引入计划的重要性以及对鹦鹉生活习性等各方面进行研究的重要性和对鹦鹉进行研究的重要原因。

XI'AN - China's conservation work for the endangered crested ibis（朱鹮）is facing new challenges, including an increasing death rate due to inbreeding（同系繁殖）, and the conflict between the need to expand natural habitats and local communities' economic interests, bird experts have warned. The crested ibis, once widespread in Japan, China, Russia and the Korean Peninsula, almost became extinct in the first half of the 20th century. Before 1981, when seven crested ibis were accidentally found in Yangxian county, in Northwest China's Shaanxi province, academics thought the species had been extinct in China for almost 17 years. Due to the huge effort put into species protection since 1981, the number of crested ibis in China has risen to an estimated 1,617, including 997 in the wild, the State Forestry Administration said at a meeting on crested ibis protection in Xi'an on Monday. However, although the ibis population exceeds 1,000, the birds are still not free from the threat of extinction, said Fang Shengguo, director of the State Conservation Center for Gene Resources of Endangered Wildlife at Zhejiang University. Ornithologists used inbreeding in the early stages of protection so that numbers of the precious birds could increase quickly, but that method had consequences, Fang said. "Studies have proved that as a result of inbreeding, crested ibis have the lowest genetic diversity of all endangered birds," Fang said. - 2 -

"It means a high death rate and more physical defects for hatched chicks." The government should collect genetic information from all crested ibis and establish a genetic database as soon as possible, then design a scientific mating plan for the species, Fang said. So far, about 90 percent of crested ibis live in Shaanxi province, and fewer than 140 ibis live in three zoos in other parts of the country, including Beijing Zoo, according to Liu Dongping, an assistant researcher at the National Bird Banding Center of China, which is affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Forestry. The bird has lost the ability to migrate, he said, adding that if an unexpected natural disaster occurred in Shaanxi province or an infectious disease spread through the area, the ibis population could be greatly reduced. Experts also warned that the increased population of ibis, whether in the wild or in captivity, requires a larger and more varied natural habitat. Rampant hunting, the massive loss of habitat caused by deforestation and the overuse of pesticides, which killed aquatic(水生的) insects on which the ibis feed, are believed to be the main reasons for the sharp reduction in the ibis population before 1981. So, in 1983, a State-level natural reserve was set up in Shaanxi province to protect the bird. But the struggle for living space between human and animal has never stopped, said Lu Baozhong, deputy director of the Shaanxi Crested Ibis Conservation Station. "For example, ibis often look for loaches in farmers' rice fields. Sometimes their claws trample the rice seedlings. In another case, villagers discovered some land with abundant mineral resources which happened to be a habitat for ibis," said Lu, who has devoted 30 years to ibis protection. A long-term win-win solution for ibis and local communities needs to be developed, one that would provide ecological compensation for local residents, Lu said. 49.
