AOne morning, Ann’s neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school. She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog. Ann said that she could watch it only for the day.Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers（传单, and put them in mailboxes. Meanwhile,Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog. At the time, Ann’s son Thomas was 10 years old, and Jack, who was recovering from a heart operation, was 21 years old.Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog, whom they had started to call Riley. When she arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys’ room where Ann found Jack suffering from a heart attack. Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent.―If it hadn’t come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died,‖ Ann reported to a local newspaper. At this point, no one had called to claim the dog, so Ann decided to keep it.The next morning Tracy got a call. A man named Peter recognized his lost dog and called the number on the flier. Tracy started crying, and told him, ―That dog saved my friend’s son.‖Peter drove to Ann’s house to pick up his dog, and saw Thomas and Jack crying in the window.

His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift— $7,000, a legacy (遗产) form their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. ―It really made a difference when we were going under financially,‖ says Dave.But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were touche d by the Ha tches’ generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in others, i t was more than $100,000.It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of th e family farm.Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit ofsaving. They thrived on (喜欢) comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase .Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp wh en their parents couldn’t afford it. ―Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything ,‖ says their friend Sandy Van Weelden, ―They could see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed. It was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy—a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents —should enrich the whole community (社区) and last for generations to come.Neighbors helping neighbors—that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story.56.

But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan.Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and—most important —sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice.Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater. Mr. Bellow,did not mind if you did.That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice,trying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.We’d already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr.Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again,twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke.Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart’s dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They’re really memories of the screen,not memories of my life.46.In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner?A. 1952B. 1962C. 1972D. 198247.What does the underlined word‖It‖ in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.

He sold air conditioners.D. He was a movie star.49.Why did the author and his/her brother see the same movies several times?A. The two movies were really wonderful.B. They wanted to avoid the heat outside.C. The manager of the theater was friendly.D. They liked the popcorn and the soda at the theater.50.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.

The author considers the experience at the theater unforgettable.CElizabeth Freeman was born about 1742 to African American parents who were slaves. At the age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholders. She became known as ―Mumbet‖ or ―Mum Bett.‖For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family. One day, Ashley’s wife tried to strike Mumbet’s sister with a spade. Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. Furious, she left the house and refused to come back. When the Ashleys tried to make her return, Mumbet consulted a lawyer, Theodore Sedgewick. With his help, Mumbet sued(起诉) for her freedom.While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution. If the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then she thought it should apply to her. Eventually, Mumbet won her freedom---- the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new consititution.Strangely enough, after the trial, the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee. She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick. Mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔). One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B. Du Bois, one of the founder of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights.Mumbet’s tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried. It reads, in part: ―She was born a slave and remained a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years. She could neither read nor write, yet in her own sphere she had no superior or equal.‖51.

A trial that shocked the whole worldDHow fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your performance on your phone.The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don’t forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure you’re brushing long enough. ―It’s kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,‖ says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush.You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. ―We try to make it smart but also fun,‖ Several says.Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said ―yes,‖ but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, for $99 to $199, developing on features. The U.S. is the first target market.Serval says that one day, it’ll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera. The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush.56. Which is one of the feature of the Kolibree toothbrush?A. It can sense how users brush their teeth.B. It can track users’ school performance.C. It can detect users’ fear of seeing a dentist.D. It can help users find their phones.57. What can we learn from Serval’s words in Paragraph 3?A. You will find it enjoyable to see a dentist.B. You should see your dentist on a day-to –day basis.C. You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist.D. You’d like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.58. Which of the following might make the Kolibree toothbrush fun?A. It can be used to update mobile phones.B. It can be used to play mobile phone gamesC. It can send messages to other usersD. It can talk to its developers.59. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A. How Serval found out his kids lied to him.B. Why Serval thought brushing teeth was necessary.C. How Serval taught his kids to brush their teeth.D. What inspired Serval to invent the toothbrush60. What can we infer about Serval’s children?A. They were unwilling to brush their teethB. They often failed to clean their toothbrushes.C. They preferred to use a toothbrush with a dry head.D. They liked brushing their teeth after Serval came home.61. What can we learn about the future development of the Kolibree?A. The brush handle will be removed.B. A mobile phone will be built into it.C. It will be used to fill holes in teethD. It will be able to check users’ teethEThe kids in this village wear dirty, ragged clothes. They sleep beside cows and sh eep in huts made of sticks and mud. They have no school. Yet they all can chant the E nglish alphabet, and some can make words.The key to their success: 20 tablet computers(平板电脑) dropped off in their Ethiopian village in February by a U.S. group called One Laptop Per Child.The goal is to find out whether kids using today’s new technology can teachthemselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist. The MassachusettsInstitute of Technology researchers analyzing the project data say they’re already amazed. ―What I think has already happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of kindergarten,‖ said Matt Keller, who runsthe Ethiopia program.The fastest learner—and the first to turn on one of the tablets—is 8-year-old Kelbesa Negusse. The device’s camera was disabled to save memory, yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its workings and made the camera work. He called himselfa lion, a marker of accomplishment in Ethiopia.With his tablet, Kelbasa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many Englishanimal names he knows. Then he spelled words on his own. ―Seven months ago he didn’t know any English. That’s unbelievable,‖ said Keller.The project aims to get kids to a stage called ―deep reading,‖ where they can read to learn. It won’t be in Amharic, Ethiopia’s first language, but in English, which is widely seen as the ticket to higher paying jobs.62. How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village?A. It trains teachers for them.B. It contributes to their self-study.C. It helps raise their living standards.D. It provides funds for building schools.63. What can we infer from Keller’s words in Paragraph 3?A. They need more time to analyze data.B. More children are needed for the research.C. He is confident about the future of the project.D. The research should be carried out in kindergartens.64. It amazed Keller that with the tablet Kelbesa could _______.A. learn English words quickly.B. draw pictures of animals.C. write letters to researchers.D. make phone calls to his friends.65. What is the aim of the project?A. To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs.B. To make Amharic widely used in the world.C. To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English.D. To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language.第II卷（共45分）第三部分书面表达（共两节，满分45分）请把答案填在答题卡的规定位置。

青岛市2014高考英语完形填空、阅读理解训练题（6）及答案Rock and roll music developed in the United States in the early nineteen-fifties. It was based on the music called rhythm and blues that was performed by African American musicians.Early rock and roll singers developed their own kinds of music. Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, the Beach Boys, and Bob Dylan were the most popular rock and roll musicians in the early 1960’s. All were American. Then, in 1964, a new rock and roll group from England invaded America: the Beatles.Some people say the Beatles’ music shook America like an earthquake. The Beatles changed rock and roll forever. Their early songs were influenced by American rock and roll musicians, including Chuck Berry. But the Beatles looked different and sounded different from any musical group be-fore them.The Beatles released their first album in the United States in 1964, when all of the top five records in America were by the Beatles. In 1967, they released an album called “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” It was one of the first “concept” albums. That is, all the songs were linked by a common story or idea. The popularity of the Beatles led the way for more rock and roll bands from England to become popular in America. The Rolling Stones was the most important of these bands. The Rolling Stones is one of the few groups from the 1960’s that is still performing and recording today. In 1965, the group recorded one of its most famous songs, “Satisfaction”.The musical instrument most linked to rock and roll is the guitar. Experts say Jimi Hendrix was one of the most influential guitar players in rock and roll during the late 1960’s. His “Purple Haze” was liked by many people.By the 1970’s, rock and roll music became known as rock musi c. It expanded into many new forms. For example, there was country rock, hard rock, acid rock, and heavy metal rock. Punk rock, jazz rock, and glitter rock.In the middle 1970’s, experts say rock music regained some of the energy ofearly rock and roll. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band became popular with their album “Born to Run”. Springsteen’s music was like the lively rock and roll music of the early nineteen-sixties. Many of his songs were about social issues. He sang about the effects of unemployment and the war in Vietnam.59. The main topic of this passage is _______.A. the history of American musicB. the development of rock and roll musicC. the famous rock and roll groupsD. the new forms of rock and roll music60. Which of the following matches is NOT true?A. the Beatles — Chuck BerryB. the Rolling Stones — SatisfactionC. Jimi Hendrix — Purple HazeD. Bruce Springsteen — Born to Run61. Whose songs were mainly about social problems like unemployment and war?A. Elvis P resley’s.B. Bob Dylan’s.C. Jimi Hendrix’s.D. Springsteen’s.62. From the passage, we can know that _______.A. one of the Rolling Stones’ albums was called “concept”B. the Beatles and the Rolling Stones became popular at the same timeC. rock and roll music had many different forms at the beginningD. rock and roll music probably came from African American music*******************************************************结束Can we give a hand to those endangered animals? Yes, we may only do a little bit, but together our small actions add up to a lot.1. Protect wildlife habitat.Perhaps the greatest threat that faces many species is the widespread destruction of habitat. Cutting down forests, farming, and development all result in loss of wildlife habitat. In areas where rare species live, habitat destruction can quickly force a species to extinction. By protecting habitat, entire communities of animals can be protected together naturally. Parks and reserves are now all too often the only habitats that are left untouched by habitat destruction.2. Reduce the threat of invasive (入侵的) species.The spread of non-native species has greatly reduced native populations around the world. Invasive species compete with native species for resources (资源) and habitat. They can even prey on native species directly, forcing native species towards extinction.3. Place decals (贴花纸) on windows.It is reported that as many as one billion birds in the United States die each year because of collisions (碰撞) with windows. You can help reduce the number of collisions simply by placing decals on the windows in your home and office.4. Slow down when driving.Many native animals have to live in developed areas and this means they must move in human-living areas. One of the biggest obstacles (障碍) to them is that created by roads. Roads divide habitat and present a constant risk to any animal attempting to cross from one side to the other. So when you’re out and about, slow down and keep an eye out for wildlife.67. What would be the best title for this passage?A. How animals go to extinctionB. The importance of protecting wildlifeC. What to do to help save wildlifeD. How to protect wildlife habitat68. By writing the underlined sentence, the writer means that _____.A. more parks and reserves should be builtB. we should have more habitats free of destructionC. there is a need for improvement in parks and re-servesD. parks and reserves are good examples of protecting wildlife69. People are advised to put decals on windows to _____.A. decorate the houses and beautify the environmentB. protect the windows from birds hittingC. attract more birds to make homes nearbyD. avoid birds hitting the windows by mistake70. The underlined phrase “prey on” in the passage means _____.A. drive awayB. live withC. kill for foodD. fight with*******************************************************结束I teach biology at UNLV three times per week.

青岛市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（1）（答案及解析）Words：343 难度系数：★★建议用时：8分钟Grown­ups know that people and objects are solid.At the movies, we know that if we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air.But does a baby have this understanding?To see whether babies know objects are solid.Bower designed a method for projecting an optical illusion(视觉影像)of a hanging ball.His plan was to first to give babies a real ball, one they could be expected to show surprised in their faces and movements.All the 16 to 24­week­old babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there.Grown­ups also have a sense of object permanence.We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when we come back.But does a baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear and go to never­never land?Experiments done by Bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old.In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen.When 16­week­old and 22­week­old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting it to reappear.If the experiment took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train.This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence.But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case.The researcher substituted(替换) a ball for the train when it went behind the screen.The 22­week­old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train.But the 16­week­old babies did not seem to notice the switch(更换)．Thus，the 16­week­old babies seemed to have a sense of “something permanence，” while the 22­week­old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object.【解题导语】本文是一篇科普短文，大意是通过实验研究儿童是否知道物体是固体的，是否具有物体持久性的感觉，研究表明，16周到24周的婴儿都知道物体是有形的固体，然而第一项研究表明只有18周以上的婴儿才对某个特定的物体的认识具有持久性。

live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years．So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors．He suggested we could see a movie．It was a brilliant plan．Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and ﹣most important﹣sit in air conditioning．In those days，you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies．Then，the theater would show the same two movies again．If you wanted to，you could sit through them twice．Most people did not do that，but the manager at our theater．Mr．Bellow did not mind if you did．That particular day，my brother and I sat through both movies twice，trying to escape the heat．We bought three bags of popcorn and threesodas each．Then，we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance．We'd already seen the second movie once before．It had been at the theater since January，because Mr．Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it．We left the theater around 8，just before the evening shows began．But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again，twice more．And we did it the next day too．Finally，on the fourth day，the heat wave broke．Still，to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart's dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance!Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962．They're really memories of the screen，not memories of my life．46．In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner？A.1952B.1962C.1972D.198247．What does the underlined

as"Mumbet"or"Mum Bett．"For nearly 30years Mumbet served the Ashley family．One day，Ashley's wife tried to strike Mumbet's sister with a spade．Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead．Furious，she left the house and refused to come back．When the Ashleys tried to make her return，Mumbet consulted a lawyer，Theodore Sedgewick．With his help，Mumbet sued（起诉） for her freedom．While serving the Ashleys，Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution．If the constitution said that all people were free and equal，then she thought it should apply to her．Eventually，Mumbet won her freedom﹣﹣﹣﹣the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution．Strangely enough，after the trial，the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee．She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick．Mumbet died in 1829，but her legacy lived on in her many descendants（后裔）．One of her great﹣grandchildren was W．E．B．Du Bois，one of the founder of the NAACP，and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights．Mumbet's tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried．It reads，in

electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush，and it lets you track your performance on your phone．The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week．It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection．The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right （don't forgetthe insides of the teeth!）and make sure you're brushing long enough．"It's kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day﹣to﹣day basis，"says Thomas Serval，the French inventor．The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone，so developers could，for instance，create a game controlled by your toothbrush．You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth．"We try to make it smart but also fun，"Several says．Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father．He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth．They said"yes，"but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry．He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed．The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer，for 99to199，developing on features．The U．S．is the first target market．Serval says that one day，it'll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that

huts made of sticks and mud．They have no school．Yet they all can chant the English alphabet，and some can make words．The key to their success：20tablet computers（平板电脑） dropped off in their Ethiopian village in February by a U．S．group called One Laptop Per Child．The goal is to find out whether kids using today's new technology can teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist．The Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers analyzing the project data say they're already amazed．"What I think has already happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of kindergarten，"said Matt Keller，who runs the Ethiopiaprogram．The fastest learner﹣and the first to turn on one of the tablets﹣is 8﹣year﹣old Kelbesa Negusse．The device's camera was disabled to save memory，yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its workings and made the camera work．He called himself a lion，a marker of accomplishment in Ethiopia．With his tablet，Kelbasa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal names he knows．Then he spelled words on his own．"Seven months ago he didn't know any English．That's unbelievable，"said Keller．The project aims to get kids to a stage called"deep reading，"where they can read to learn．It won't be in Amharic，Ethiopia's first language，but in English，which is widely seen as the ticket to higher paying jobs．62．How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village？A．It trains teachers for them．B．It contributes to their self﹣study．C．It helps raise their living standards．D．It

help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English．D．To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language．第三部分书面表达（共两节，满分45分）第一节：阅读表达（共1小题；每小题15分，满分15分）19．（15分）阅读下面的短文并用英语回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的字数要求）．[1]Nowadays the cost of a new car has fallen in real terms so that it is cheaper than ever to own one，and better road conditions have also attracted more drivers．The result is overcrowding on the road system，which is one of the problems the local governments are faced with．[2]When people travel to other towns，the problem might be relieved by getting them to park outside the town．Buses could be provided to take them into the centre．These Park and Ride projects are increasingly popular in the UK．At Southerton，for example，a council﹣funded project led to a 15% drop in city centre traffic over five months．[3]What the council found，though，was that the project proved somewhat unpopular with shop owners in the area outside the centre．Many of their shops relied on passing car drivers for some of their trade．As the number of people driving past dropped，so did their incomes．[4]Making car driving expensive is another way of ．Road taxes tend to mean that people use their cars less．Fining drivers who are in areas where cars have been banned can also tend to encourage them to leave their cars behind．[5]However，one thing has to be got right for any solution to succeed．If we expect people to give up the habit of driving，we must give them an alternative they can rely on．Constant delays，unannounced changes to the timetable and sudden cancellations all discourage people from usingpublic transport．People will only see it as a real choice if the buses and trains are on time．66．What causes overcrowding on the road system according to Paragraph 1？（no more than 12words）67．What should people do when traveling to other towns according to the Park and Ride projects？（no more than 10words）68．Why were some shop owners unhappy about the project？（no more than 10words）69．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4．（ no more than 8words）70．Why are people unwilling to use public

高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（答案及解析）Words：322难度系数：★★建议用时：8分钟If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong.Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power.Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter.This is the area of the brain which processes information.It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr.Andrea Mechelli，from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English.They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度)in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language，” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales，has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills.“Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible，”he said.“You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34.Reading，writing, and comprehension were all tested.The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better.“Studying a language means you getan entrance to another world，” explained the scientists.5．The main subject talked about in this passage is________.A．science on learning a second languageB．man’s ability of learning a second languageC．language can help brain powerD．language learning and maths study解析：选C。

青岛市2014高考英语完形填空、阅读理解训练题（1）及答案阅读理解专题******主旨大意一、题型特点与解题技巧这类试题要求对文章的整体或局部（如段落）进行分析、概括，归纳相关部分的中心大意(Main idea)，选择标题（title），判断作者的写作目的（purpose）等，旨在考查考生加工与浓缩信息的能力。

这一项考查的是文章的灵魂与中心。

一、常见问题形式有：(1)The subject/topic of the article is ……(2)Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?(3)What does the passage/author mainly discuss?(4)Which of the following is the best title of the passage?二、应试技巧1.开门见山, 提出主题。

开门见山, 提出主题，随之用细节来解释, 支撑或发展主题句所表达的主题思想，是最常见的演绎法写作方式，分清main idea 和 supporting sentences。

英语阅读理解中的许多文章都属于“观点论证型”和“现象解释型”的文章，而这两类文章常常采取的是“一般到具体”的篇章结构模式。

也就是说这类文章往往开宗明义，文章伊始就要摆明描述的主要对象或论述的主要观点。

An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to (归因于) the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up.…………………………………………………………………………………………………What’s the main idea of the text?A. Universities have received more applications.B. Economics is attracting an increasing number of studentsC. College students benefit a lot from economic uncertainty.D. Parents are concerned with children’s subject selection. ( 2009 山东)2．首段的末句和二段首句对于阅读理解中的其他篇章结构模式，如“问题解决型”和“破旧立新型”的文章，文章的首段的末句或二段的首句就成了主题句高发出现点，特别是当文章的首句后出现的转折性的陈述，而所涉及的主体事物没有发生转变时，那么文章的主题句往往是转折词后出现的与首句相对立的结论。

青岛市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（10）（答案及解析）.阅读理解Words：362 难度系数：★★建议用时：8分钟In so many ways，cyberspace(网络空间) mirrors the real world.People ask for information，play games，and share hobby tips.Others buy and sell products.Still others look for friendship，or even love.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 end in tears.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 counts.So even the shyest person can become a chat room star.Usually，this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems.Identity doesn’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?Supporters of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to know how intelligent they are first.Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way.But critics(批评者)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 choose their words to fit whatever image they wantcommunication 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 surely leads to disappointment when couples meet in person.How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different from the real person.So，before looking for love in cyberspace，remember the advice of Internet pioneerClifford Stoll，“Life in the real world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen.”1．Which would the critics of online relationships most probably disagree to? A．Nobody can truly know another person in cyberspace.B．Internet users can choose words to create any image they like.C．The Internet allows couples know how intelligent they are.D．In a sense，Internet users are not really themselves.解析：选C。

2014年山东高考英语试题解析版第一部分：语言知识运用1.答案：D解析：考查动词时态。

题干有…was more time-consuming than we____可知，横线中的动词expect 的动作应该在was 之前发生，故用过去完成时即“过去的过去”。

2.答案：A解析：查查状语从句。

前一句“我并非真正喜欢这个作者”；后一句“我必须承认他的书振奋人心”。

故选让步关系的从属连词although(尽管)3.答案：A解析：考查情景交际。

上句说“这个苹果排太甜了，你不认为如此吗？” 注意下句横线后的提示：实际上，我认为正好。

故选对上句观点进行否定态度的回应语---not really. B项“我也希望如此”C项“听起来很好”是对建议计划的肯定语。

D项“不足为奇”都不符合交流意向。

4.答案：C解析：考查it用法。

It 做形式主语、宾语并代替句中的V-ing短语、to do 和从句。

此处it 代替that从句，做形式宾语。

5.答案：B解析：考查过去将来时态的基本用法-----常用于宾语从句中。

句意：一旦Larry更换工作，他们决定买一所新的房子。

Buy 应该发生在Made up their mind 之后，故用以过去为起点的将来时态—would+动词原形。

6.答案：A解析：考查V-ing 做后置定语，相当于which says….用主动形式。

句意：门上钉了一个便条，上面写着商店何时再开门的字样。

7.答案：B解析：考查名词性从句中的宾语从句。

横线后介词like缺宾语，表示物，选what。

Which 必须是“在….范围中的一个”时可选。

A,D两项均为副词，不符要求。

8.答案：D解析：考查情景交际。

上句“Anne明天来吗？下句横线后的提示：如果她来的话，她会给我打电话的。

所以选D：我认为她不会来的。

A项：好吧，行，可以；B项：当然C项：对了。

都不符合句意。

9.答案：C解析：考查to do 用法，实际上是间接考查it 做形式主语的用法。

Readers thus are able to gain a clear understanding of how the then central g overnment succeeded in handling those issues.” (From China D aily)56.

They can find missing people and things like bombs and illegal drugs. Now a study su ggests that the animal known as man’s best friend can even fin d bladder （膀胱）cancer.Cancer cells are thought to produce chemicals with unusual sm ell. Researchers think dogs have the ability to smell these smell s, even in very small amounts, in urine（尿液）. The sense of smell in dogs is thousands of times better than that in humans.The study follows reports of cases where, for example, a dog s howed great interest in a growth on the leg of its owner. The ma n was later found to be skin cancer.Carolyn Willis led a team of researchers at Amersham Hospital in England. They trained different kinds of dogs for the experim ent. The study involved urine collected from bladder cancer pati ents, from people with other diseases and from healthy people.Each dog was tested 8 times. In each test there were 7 sample s for the dogs to smell. The dog should signal the one from a bl adder cancer patient by lying down next to it. Two cocker（一种猎犬） dogs were correct 56 percent of the time. But the scientist s reported an average success rate of 41 percent.The British Medical Journal published the research. In all, 36 bl adder cancer patients and 108 other people took part. During tr aining, all the dogs reportedly even identified（认出）a cancer in a person who had tested healthy before the study. Doctors found a growth on the person’s right kidney（肾）.Carolyn Willis says dogs could help scientists identify the combi ned chemicals produced by bladder cancer. That information co uld then be used to develop machines to test for the chemicals. The team also plans to use dogs to help identify markers for oth er kinds of cancer.64. What’s the general idea of the text?A. Dogs have a good sense of smellB. Dogs can help cure cancerC. Dogs can smell cancerD. Dogs help perform experiments65. According to the text, people who suffer bladder cancer____ _A. often have urine with unusual smellB. probably smoke cigarettes in their lifeC. can easily make dogs lie downD. are likely to die within nine years66.

Dogs can only smell bladder cancer.B. Dogs have a good knowledge of cancer.C. Scientists might invent some equipment to test cancer.D. Cancer doesn’t have any sign in the beginning.参考答案 64-67 CACC“Down-to-earth” means someone or something that is honest, realistic an d easy to deal with.It is a pleasure to 1 someone who is down-to-earth.
