Pilots’ Illness
Living in space looks like lots of fun. You can do certain things in space (like floating around, or pushing huge objects) that you cannot do on earth. But being in space can do things to you, too. If you stay too long in a gravity-free environment, your bones could become weak, and a small spaceship just might annoy you after a while, because space travel could make you seasick!
On July 4, 1982, after seven days orbiting the earth, astronauts Thomas K. Mattingly and Henry W. Hartsfield returned home. Although not all of the experiments on board worked properly, the flight basically seemed to be a success except for one “little” thing: early in the flight, astronaut Hartsfield became “seasick”.
Thomas Mattingly, who is also a jet pilot and is highly resistant to motion sickness on earth, did much better. Mattingly sailed through space with a steady stomach. But no one knows why Hartsfield felt uneasy and Mattingly did not.
So far it seems there is no reliable way to predict who will become motion sick in outer space and who will not. In all, at least four astronauts have suffered from space motion sickness. Russian and American scientists are working together to try to understand and solve the motion sickness. Space program officials worry that if so many highly-trained pilots get sick in space, what will happen when civilians start flying in the shuttle?
Motion sickness is a disagreeable feeling that comes from the pitching, rolling, swaying, or just the moving of the object you are riding in or on. Symptoms of motion sickness include: dizziness, headache, a sinking feeling in the stomach, and vomiting.
Why does motion make some people ill?
Doctors believe that motion sickness is caused by a disturbance in the inner ear. Our ears do more than give us hearing. A part of the ears gives us a sense of balance and helps make us aware of whether we are right side up or upside down.
If you know that you get carsick or seasick, what can you do?
Speak to your doctor. There are certain medicines available that can help stop that uneasy feeling. But many of them can also make you sleepy. Usually they work best taken before you begin feeling ill.
Some people also recommend water, ice cubes, mints, or plain toast. But these remedies do not always work for everyone.
Perhaps, since motion sickness is such a big problem in outer space, researchers may soon find
a way to cure the astronauts -- and those of us who stay on earth.
16. Floating in space for too long a time may also do harm to one’s lungs and heart.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
17. At the end of the flight, Hartsfield became “seasick”.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
18. Mattingly was much thinner than Hartsfield.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
19. Russian and American scientists are working together to solve the problem of motion sickness in astronauts.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
20. Untrained civilians are more likely to suffer from motion sickness in a spacecraft.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
21. The motion sickness some astronauts suffered from during space travel had been caused by the defective digestive system.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
22. People suffering from motion sickness during space travel can alleviate its symptoms by eating or drinking something.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
第3部分：概括大意与完成句子(第23-30题，每题l分，共8分)

Screen Test in the Western World
1 Every year millions of women are screened with X-rays to pick up signs of breast cancer. If this happens early enough, the disease can often be treated successfully. According to a survey published last year, 21 countries have screening programmes. Nine of them, including Australia, Canada, the US and Spain, screen women under 50.
2 But the medical benefits of screening these younger women are controversial, partly because the radiation brings a small risk of inducing cancer. Also, younger women must be given higher doses of X-rays because their breast tissue is denser.
3 Researchers at the Polytechnic University of Valencia analyzed the effect of screening more than 160,000 women at 11 local clinics. After estimating the women’s cumulative dose of radiation, they used two models to calculate the number of extra cancers this would cause.
4 The mathematic al model recommended by Britain’s National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB) predicted that the screening programme would cause 36 cancers per 100,000 women, 18 of them fatal. The model preferred by the UN Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation led to a lower figure of 20 cancers.
5 The researchers argue that the level of radiation-induced cancers is “not very significant” compared to the far larger number of cancers that are discovered and treated. The Valencia programme, they say, detects between 300 and 450 cases of breast cancer in every 100,000 women screened.
6 But they point out that the risk of women contracting cancer from radiation could be reduced by between 40 and 80 percent if screening began at 50 instead of 45, because they would be exposed to less radiation. The results of their study, they suggest, could help “optimize the technique” for breast cancer screening.
7 “There is a trade-off between the diagnostic benefits of breast screening and its risks,” admits Michael Clark of the NRPB. But he warns that the study should be interpreted with caution. “On the basis of the current data, for every 10 cancers successfully detected and prevented there is a risk of causing one later in life. That’s why radiation exposure should be minimized in any screening programme.”
23. Paragraph 2 ________
24. Paragraph 3 ________
25. Paragraph 4 ________
26. Paragraph 5 ________
27. Early discovery of breast cancer may________.
28. Advantages of screening women under 50 are _______.
29. Delaying the age at which screening starts may _______.
30. Radiation exposure should be _______.
第4部分：阅读理解(第31-45题，每题3分，共45分)
下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定l个最佳选项。
第1篇Sports Star Yao Ming
If Yao Ming is not the biggest sports star in the world, he almost certainly the tallest. At 2.26m, he is the tallest player in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and holds the record as the most towering Olympian ever to compete in the Game.
But what really stands out about the giant center is his celebrity. Few, if any, Chinese athletes are as well-known as Yao Ming around the world. People across the globe are fascinated with Yao, not only for his basketball skill but also for being a symbol of international commerce.
When Yao joined the Houston Rockets as the No. 1 pick in the 2002 NBA draft he was the first international player ever to be selected first. His assets on the court are clear enough -- no NBA player of his size has ever possessed his mobility, so he is a handful for opponents on either end of the court. But what makes Yao invaluable to the Rockets organization is his role as a global citizen and as a bridge to millions of potential basketball fans in China.
When it was announced in February that Yao would miss the rest of the NBA season and possibly the Olympics with a stress fracture in his left foot, a collective shudder spread across
China. After considerable debate and discussion, Yao opted to get his foot surgically treated in an operation that placed several tiny screws across the bone, to offer his overburdened foot more support. The surgery was a success, though he estimated four-month recovery period will leave him little time to prepare with Team China. Yao has vowed to be ready for the Beijing Olympics.
Yao wrapped up a 10-day trip to China, where he underwent a series of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatments, hoping to accelerate his recovery process. Western experts are generally skeptical of TCM’s benefits, although new research from the Univ ersity of Rochester suggests that a certain compound derived from shellfish may indeed stimulate bone repair.
“The re is no reason to dismiss TCM,”Yao told a press conference in Beijing. “It’s been used in our country for thousands of years. I don’t think that it’s short on science.”
31. The word “towering” in Paragraph 1 means ___________.
A. large
B. fat
C. tall
D. great
32. Opponents find it very difficult to control Yao Ming because of his _________.
A. mobility
B. assault
C. defense
D. celebrity
33. Yao Ming had to undergo a series of TCM treatments because _________.
A. his right foot had been hurting.
B. he wanted to make a more rapid recovery.
C. the surgical operation had been a failure.
D. he couldn’t afford all the medical expenses.
34. Which statement about Yao Ming is NOT true?
A. He missed the Athens Olympics.
B. He is an NBA player.
C. He fractured his left foot.
D. He is an international figure.
35. In general, the Western experts’ attitude towards TCM is _________.
A. indifferent
B. positive
C. negative
D. doubtful
第2篇Pollution in the Future
Studies show that the world in 2010 will be more crowded, more polluted and less stable ecologically than the world we live in now. Visible ahead is serious stress involving population, resources and environment. Despite greater food output, people in the world will be poorer in many ways than they are today.
For hundreds of millions of the extremely poor, the outlook for food and other necessities of life will be no better. For many it will be worse.
While the economies of the developing countries are expected to grow at a faster rate than
those of the industrialized nations, the total national product per head in most less developed countries remains low. The existing gap between the rich and poor nations will further widen.
World food production is estimated to increase by 90 percent from 1970 to 2010. Most of that increase goes to the countries that already have relatively higher per-head food consumption. Meanwhile, per-head consumption of food in the developing countries will scarcely improve or will actually fall far below the present inadequate level. What is worse is prices for food are expected to double.
As a result, many less developed countries will have increasing difficulties meeting energy needs. For the one quarter of mankind that depends primarily on wood for fuel, the outlook is not hopeful.
Regional water shortage will become more severe. In the 1970-2010 period population growth will require twice as much water as it does today in nearly half the world. Still greater increases would be needed to improve standards of living. Development of new water supplies will become more costly.
36. According to the passage, in 2010 while output of food will be greater, _________.
A. people will have sufficient food supplies
B. The world resources will become more than enough
C. In most developing countries people will have less food than they have today
D. The living standards of the world’s population will improve greatly
37. According to the author, in 2010 for many poor people, ___________.
A. things will get even worse
B. things will be a little better
C. it will be necessary for them to improve their housing
D. it will be impossible to obtain enough necessities of life
38. In the 1970-2010 periods, the large proportion of global increase of food production goes _______.
A. to 90 percent
B. to developing countries
C. to any country in the world that needs it
D. to those countries that already have high per head consumption
39. How does the author predict the development of new water supplies in the future?
A. Water shortage will occur in some regions only.
B. Development of new water supplies will be more expensive.
C. The less developed countries need more water than the developed ones.
D. The demand for water will double with the growing population.
40. Which of the following may best serve as the title of this passage?
A. The Future problems in the World.
B. Water and Air Pollution.
C. Water and Food Shortages.
D. Food Production and Consumption.
第3篇Most Mistakes about People
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck? And Paul -- why didn’t I pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car? When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meanings. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feelings behind the words. Suppose someone tells you that you’re a lucky dog. That’s being friendly. But lucky dog? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the dog puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
41. This passage is mainly about_______.
A. how to interpret what people say
B. what to do when you listen to others talking
C. how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people
D. Why we go wrong with people sometimes
42. According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that________.
A. We fail to listen carefully when they talk
B. People tend to be annoyed when we check what they say
C. People usually state one thing but means another
D. We tend to doubt what our friends say
43. In the sentence “maybe he doesn’t see it himself,” the pronoun “it” refers to_________.
A. being friendly
B. a bit of envy
C. lucky dog
D. your luck
44. When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to do is__________.
A. notice the way the person is talking
B. take a good look at the person talking
C. mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes
D. examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and his posture
45. The author most probably is a_______.
A. teacher
B. philosopher
C. psychologist
D. doctor

The Tough Grass that Sweetens Our Lives
S ugar cane was once a wild grass that grew in New Guinea and was used by local people for roofing their houses and fencing their gardens. Gradually a different variety evolved which contained sucrose and was chewed on for its sweet taste. Over time, sugar cane became a highly valuable commercial plant, grown throughout the world. __________ (46)
Sugar became a vital ingredient in all kinds of things, from candy to medicine, and, as the demand for sugar grew, the industry became larger and more profitable.__________(47) Many crops died, despite growers’ attempts to save them, and there were fears that the health of the plant would continue to deteriorate.
In the 1960s, scientists working in Barbodos looked for ways to make the commercial species stronger and more able to resist disease. They experimented with breeding programmes, mixing genes from the more delicate, commercial type. _______(48) This sugar cane is not yet ready to be sold commercially, but when this happens, it is expected to be incredible profitable for the industry.
__________ (49) Brazil, which produces one quarter of the world’s sugar, has coordinated an international project under Professor Paulo Arrudo of the Universidad Estaudual de Campinas in Sao Paulo. Teams of experts have worked with him to discover more about which parts of the genetic structure of the plant are important for the production of sugar and its overall health.
Despite all the research, however, we still do not fully understand how the genes in sugar cane.
_________(50) This gene is particularly exciting because it makes the plant resistant to rust, a disease which probably originated in India, but is now capable of infecting sugar cane across the world.
Scientist believes they will eventually be able to grow a plant which cannot be destroyed by rust.

2014年高考英语原创预测题（通用版） 一、单项填空（15小题） 1．Japan says its prime minister promised to provide the world with "maximum transparency" about ____ accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant during _____ telephone call. A. the; a B. the; the C. an; the D. an; a 【解析】选A。考查冠词。福岛核电站的事故应用定冠词the；而电话谈话没有指明是哪一次，因此用不定冠词表泛指。句意为：日本表示，日本首相在一次电话谈话中承诺以“最大的透明度”向全世界通报福岛核电站的事故情况。 2．It is thought that Henan Shuanghui Industry Group Co., Ltd. ____take responsibility for its consumers. A. can B. may C. must D. need 【解析】选C。must表示义务、必要，意为必须。而need通常用于否定句，表示需要。句意为：人们认为河南双汇食品有限公司必须对它的消费者们负责。 3. The civil war in Libya that ______on March 12 _______ for a week until now. A broke out; has lasted B breaking out ; was lasted C was broken out; has lasted D broke out; lasting 【解析】选A。考查动词的时态和语态，本句是一个主从复合句，它的时间状语是3月12日，因此定语从句的谓语用一般过去时，且break out为不及物动词短语无被动语态，因此排除B,C两项，until now 与现在完成时连用，排除D项只有A项符合题意，故选A。 4. It was not until the subprime loan crisis(次贷危机) had caused great damage to the American financial system ____ Americans realized the severity（严重性）of the situation. A. which B. that C. what D. when 【解析】选B。考查强调句型。not until the subprime loan crisis(次贷危机) had caused great damage to the American financial system是被强调部分，因此后面用that引导主句。句意为：是直到次贷危机给美国的金融系统造成了巨大危害时美国人才意识到局势的严重性。 5. In order to make people to _____ money to the sick baby, he suggested the mother kneel down every few meters in the street. A. distribute B. provide C. afford D. donate 【解析】选D。考查动词词义辨析。句意为：为了使人们给那个生病的孩子捐钱，他建议孩子的母亲在大街上每几米就下跪一次。Distribute“分配；分发”；provide ...for...“为……提供”；afford“买得起，付得起”；donate捐赠，赠送。根据题意，故选D。 6．A serious forest fire broke out in Shandong, _______ the authority had to take immediate steps to protect the forest in Tai’an. A. why B. which C. as D. for which 【解析】选D。考查定语从句。根据句意可知前句是后句的原因，而此处why不能引导定语从句，需用for which；which引导定语从句指代前面整句内容，并在从句中作主语或宾语，但是后面的句子主谓宾都有，所以不用关系代词which或as。故选D。 7．Nowadays children have to take arts, music and sports classes in their free time ____ busy schoolwork. --- No wonder they have more and more pressure. A. rather than B. owing to C. apart from D. expect for 【解析】选C。考查介词短语。apart from“除了……之外”，符合句意“如今的孩子除了繁重的学校作业外，他们还要在业余时间不得不上绘画，音乐和体育课”。rather than“而不是”；owing to“因为；由于”；expect for排除的是细节。 8．The biggest full m oon of 2011 occurred on a Saturday night, ______ Chinese observers to gather outside to record the splendor. A. to lead B. led C. leading D. having led 【解析】选C。考查非谓语动词。leading和最大的月亮之间是主谓关系，用现在分词做结果状语，表示自然而然的结果，而不定式则表示出乎意料的让人失望的结果。句意为：2011年最大的月亮出现在一个星期六的晚上，致使中国观察者聚集在户外记录下这一光辉景象。 9．I heard the alarm ringing all the morning. ____ something very urgent happened. A. Really B. Obviously C. Especially D. Terribly 【解析】选B。考查副词。句意：我听到警报声一早上响个不停，显然发生了紧急事情。obviously 显然，明显地；符合句意。really真正地，强调事情的真假；especially尤其，特别；terribly糟糕地；可怕地。 10．The figures are further evidence ______ children are more likely to become near-sighted. A. that B. what C. why D. which 【解析】选A。考查名词性从句。that引导同位语从句，对evidence的内容进行说明，而且没有意义，只是起连接作用。其余选项引导同位语从句，在从句中都有意义和作用，所以只有A符合。句意为：这些数据进一步证明孩子们更有可能患近视。 11．The radiation from the nuclear power in Japan urged all the nations around to ______ their people to make preparations for possible disasters. A. fight for B. apply for C. call on D. wait on 【解析】选C。考查动词短语辨析。句意是：日本核电站的辐射使得周围的国家号召人们对可能出现的灾难做好准备。fight for与……做斗争；为……而战；apply for申请；call on拜访（人）；号召；call on sb. to do sth. 号召某人做某事。wait on等待，伺候，服侍。根据句意选C。 12．______young people were making efforts to take more exercise and eat healthily, they are still putting on weight. A. Because B. Now that C. When D. While 【解析】选D。考查状语从句。while“尽管；虽然”，引导让步状语从句。句意为：尽管年轻人努力做更多运动，健康饮食，他们的体重还是增加。 13．He gets up at six o'clock, runs for half an hour and then has a meal; that is his morning . A．policy B．behaviour C．tendency D．routine 【解析】选D。考查名词辨析。routine“程序；日常生活；例行公事”；根据“他每天早晨六点起床，跑步半小时，然后吃饭”可知是他的日常生活。所以选D。policy“政策”；behaviour“举止；行为”；tendency“倾向，趋势；癖好”。 14．There happened earthquakes in many places recently, one of ____ in Japan. A. the others B. them C. it D. which 【解析】选B。考查代词。根据句意“最近很多地方发生地震，其中之一是发生在日本”，可知用代词them代替前面的earthquakes。独立主格结构，因为不是完整的句子，故排除D选B。 15．—It is so hot today! Do you mind if I drink this last bottle of beer, Susan?
