第三部分阅读理解(共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分)
A
Merchant and passenger ships are generally required to have a life preserver for every person aboard and in many cases, a certain percentage of smaller sizes for children. According to United States requirements, life preservers must be simple in design,
reversible( 可翻转的), capable of being quickly adjusted to fit the
uninitiated individual, and must be so designed as to support the wearer in the water in an upright or slightly backward position.
Sufficient buoyancy(浮力) to support the wearer should be
retained by the life preserver after 48 hours in the water, and it should be reliable even after long period of storage. Thus it should be made of materials resistant to sunlight, gasoline, and oils, and it should be not easily set on fire. The position in which the life preserver will support a person who jumps or falls into the water is the most important thing, as is its tendency to turn the wearer in the water from a face-down position to an upright or slightly backward position, with his face clear of the water, even when the wearer is exhausted or unconscious.
The method of adjustment to the body should be simple, and self-evident to uninitiated individuals even in the dark under the confused conditions, which follow a disaster. Thus, the life preserver should be reversible so that it is nearly impossible to set it on wrong. Catches, straps, and ties should be kept to a minimum. In addition, the life preserver must be adjustable to the wide variety of shapes and sizes of wearers, since this greatly affects the position of floating and the self-righting qualities. A suitable life preserver should also be comfortable to wear at all times, in and out of the water, not so heavy as to encourage to take it off on shipboard while the ship is in danger, nor so burdensome that it hinders a person in the water while trying to swim.
56. The passage is mainly about_____________.
A. the uses of life preservers
B. the design of life preservers
C. the materials for life preservers
D. the buoyancy of life preservers
57. According to the passage, a life preserver should be first of all, _________.
A . adjustable B. comfortable C. self-evident D. self-righting
58. United States Coast Guard does NOT require the life preserver to be made ______.
A. with as few strings as possible
B. capable of being worn on both sides
C. according to each wearer's size
D. comfortable and light to wear
59. By ―the uninitiated individual‖ (Para. 1, Line. 4) the author refers to the person ______.
A. who has not been instructed how to use a life preserver
B. who has a little experience in using a life preserver
C. who uses a life preserver without permission
D. who becomes nervous before a disaster
B
Television has changed the lifestyle of people in every industrialized country in the world. In the United States, where sociologists have studied the effects, some interesting observations have been made.
Television, although not essential, has become an important part of
most people’s lives. It alters people’s ways of seeing the world; in many
ways, it supports and sustains (维持) modern life.
Television has become a baby-sitter, an introducer of conversations, the major transmitter of culture, and a keeper of tradition. Yet when what can be seen on TV in one day is critically analyzed, it becomes evident that
television is not a teacher but a sustainer; the poor quality of
programming does not elevate (提高) people into greater understanding, but rather maintains and encourages the life as it exists.
The primary reason for the lack of quality in American television is related to both the history of TV programming development and the economics of TV. Television in America began with the radio. Radio companies and their sponsors first experimented with television. Therefore, the close
relationship which the advertisers had with radio programs became the system for American TV. Sponsors not only paid money for time within programs, but many actually produced the programs. Thus, in American society, television is primarily concerned with reflecting and attracting society rather than experimenting with new ideas. Advertisers want to attract the largest viewing audience possible. To do so requires that the programs be entertaining rather than educational, attractive rather than challenging.
Television in America today remains, to a large extent, with the same organization and standards as it had thirty years ago. The hope for further development and true achievement toward improving society will require a change in the entire system.
60. According to the author, American television is poor in quality because _________.
A. it is controlled by radio companies
B. the programs have to be developed partly for economic reasons
C. advertisers are interested in experimenting with new ideas
D. it is still at an early stage of development, compared with the radio
61. In the author’s view, American TV should _________.
A. be entertaining and attractive
B. reflect society and attract society
C. attract as many viewers as possible
D. change with the development of society
62. Based on the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. TV has become a must in the American’s life.
B. One can expect to improve his understanding significantly from watching TV.
C. American TV is important to most people as it affects their life in many ways.
D. American TV nowadays has some different standards from the past.
63. The author’s attitude towards American television is _________.
A. negative
B. positive
C. indifferent
D. sympathetic
C

Maya Angelou, the American poet and author, died at her
home in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on Wednesday. She was
86. Her son, Guy B Johnson, confirmed the news in a statement.
He said Angelou "passed away quietly in her home" sometime before 8 am on Wednesday.
Angelou’s failing health was reported as recently as Tuesday, when she canceled an appearance honoring her with a Beacon of Life Award for ―health reasons‖. The ceremony was part of th e 2014 MLB Beacon Award Luncheon, in Houston, Texas, part of Major League Baseball’s Civil Rights Games. Last month, forced to cancel an appearance at a library in Arkansas, she wrote: "An unexpected condition put me into the hospital. I will be getting better and the time will come when I can receive another invitation from my state and you will recognize me for I shall be the tall Black lady smiling. "
Angelou was born Marguerite Annie Johnson, in St Louis, Missouri, in 1928.She survived several personal trials: she was a child of the Depression, grew up in the segregated(种族隔离的) south, and gave birth as a teenager. She wrote seven autobiographies, including the 1969 memoir I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, and was a playwright, director and novelist.
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings was a condemnation(谴责) of the racial discrimination she experienced during her childhood. "If growing up is painful for the southern black girl," she wrote, "being aware of her displacement is the rust(铁锈) on the razor that threatens the throat. "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”has had a wide appeal and continues to appear on school and university reading lists in the US and the UK.
In 1993, she read her poem On the Pulse of the Morning at President Clinton's first inauguration(就职演说), a performance that made the poem a bestseller. The poem celebrates the diversity of ethnic groups in the US, and calls on the nation to leave behind cynicism and look forward to a new pride in itself, and a new belief for the country. Clinton on Wednesday said he would "always be grateful for all the years of friendship that followed. America has lost a national treasure, and Hillary and I a beloved friend."
Angelou was a long-time Clinton supporter. One month before his inauguration, she told the New York Times: ―Since the election, I have found it easier to wake up in the morning.‖ And her loyalty to Hillary Clinton has been steadfast, even as Barack Obama campaigned to be America's first black president.
The mayor of Winston-Salem, Allen Joines, said the town would probably remember Angelou best for her commitment to health and theatre. She supported the founder of the National Black Theater Festival, and eventually became its first chairperson in 1989. In 2012, the Maya Angelou Women’s Health and Wellness Center opened in the city. Despite her many accomplishments, the mayor said small moments seemed to touch the poet. In April 2008, the town threw Angelou an 80th birthday party. Despite entertainers and speakers present at the party, the mayor said, ―The thing that seemed to touch her the most was a group of littl e kids.‖
68. Maya Angelou was ________ .
A. originally named Marguerite Annie Johnson and a black female poet.
B. first confirmed to be ill last month in Arkansas and put into hospital.
C. honored with Civil Rights Award in Major League Baseball Games.
D. described as the national treasure by the mayor of her hometown.
69. We can NOT infer from the passage that ________.
A. Angelou's unhappy experience as a black girl in the south inspired her writings.
B. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and On the Pulse of the Morning were among her most famous works.
C. Angelou supported Barack Obama when he campaigned to be President
D. Angelou died peacefully in her home on a Wednesday morning in 2014.
70. The underlined sentence "...being aware of her displacement is the rust on the razor that threatens the throat." implies that ________
A. Her being away from her parents is like a sharp razor that brings much pain.
B. Her realization that she doesn't belong here makes her feel emotionally painful.
C. People who think she is different from others threaten to kill her with a razor.
D. People's refusal to accept her makes her want to cut her throat with a razor.
71. Which one is true according to the passage?
A. In America, Angelou's accomplishments in health and theatre were best remembered.
B. Angelou was the founder and chairperson of the National Black Theater Festival.
C. A group of children moved her the most on her 80th birthday party.
D. Clinton's performance of the poem On the Pulse of the Morning made it a bestseller.

Moby-Dick (1851) is a novel by Herman Melville, considered
an outstanding work of Romanticism and the American
Renaissance. Ishmael narrates the crazy quest of Ahab, captain of
the whaler Pequod,for revenge(报仇) on Moby Dick, a white
whale which on a previous voyage destroyed Ahab's ship and
severed his leg at the knee.
Our narrator, Ishmael, signs up as sailor on a whaling voyage
to cure depression. On board the Pequod, Ishmael meets the mate ?
honest Starbuck. Captain Ahab remains in his cabin and never
shows himself to the crew.
Just when Ishmael’s curiosity about Ahab has reached a fever pitch, Ahab starts appearing on deck –and we find out that he’s missing one leg. When Starbuck asks if it was Moby Dick, the famous White Whale, that took off his leg, Ahab admits that it was and forces the entire crew to swear that they will help him hunt Moby Dick to the ends of the earth and take revenge for his injury.
Despite first mate Starbuck’s wo rries and a variety of bad omens (e.g., all the navigational instruments break, a typhoon tries to push the ship backwards, and the Pequod encounters other ships that have lost crewmembers because of Moby Dick), Ahab insists on continuing to pursue the whale.
Finally, just when we think the novel’s going to end without ever seeing this famous White Whale, Ahab sights him and the chase is on. For three days, Ahab pursues Moby Dick, sending whaling boat after whaling boat after him – only to see each one wrecked (使下沉)by the whale. Finally, at the end of the third day, the White Whale attacks the ship itself, and the Pequod goes down with all hands.
Even while his ship is sinking, Ahab, in his whaling boat, throws his harpoon at Moby Dick one last time. He misses, catching himself around the neck with the rope and causing his own drowning death.
72. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. Ishmael signs up as sailor for making a fortune.
B. The crew on board the Pequod was unwilling to help the captain to hunt Moby Dick
C. The captain was very kind to the crew on board the Pequod
D. The captain successfully captured Moby Dick and returned home.
73. The underlined word ―omens ‖in paragraph 5 most probably means ________.
A. troubles
B. accidents
C. stories
D. signs
74. What does the author think of Captain Ahab?
A. Selfish
B. Knowledgeable
C. Considerate
D. Bad-tempered
75. In a newspaper, this passage is most probably in the section of ________.
A. Lifestyle
B. Travel
C. Career
D. Entertainment

This quotation stresses the importance of imagination over knowledge. Imagination alows us to free ourselves from the limits of our body and it can take us where our feet won’t. Imagination is to man what fuel is to cars. Without imagination, we won’t be able to explore the unknown and the world will be colorless.
Great inventions that change the course of human history often begin with imagination, for example, planes. The Wright brothers had imagined flying like birds ever since they were young. Never losing sight of their dream, they finally succeeded. Admittedly, other qualities also play an important role. It is imagination that starts all this.
Sadly, our imagination doesn’t necessarily keep pace with our knowledge. Some students gradually lose the ability to imagine in the endless homework and exams. However, I firmly hold the belief that imagination is a pair of wings that God lend us and should be cherished.
高中英语检测试题(三) 第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分50分。) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分。) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中（A、B、C和D），选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want. It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks．Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide. Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home. My first ride home was orderly．To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully. Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck. I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive. 21. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today? A．Because they are traditional and safe. B．Because they are convenient and inexpensive. C．Because they are colorful and available. D．Because they are fast and environment friendly. 22. The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ________． A．to ride it for fun B．to use it for transport C．to experience local culture D．to improve his riding skills 23.How did the author feel about his street crossing? A．It was boring. B．It was difficult. C．It was lively. D．It was wonderful. 24. Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience? A．The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills. B．The author was annoyed by the air while riding. C．The author was praised by the other bikers. D．The author took great pleasure in biking. B A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”However, that's not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn't matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves-the positive and negative effects are just as lasting. We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We're usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. But we really shouldn't be, because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. This self-talk helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Beware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying, “Good job !”

But far between simply repeat a conditioned response, truly understanding the nature of an apology, and being able to deliver one ___11__, requires a level of social ability that many __12___ find difficult, let alone the teenage with autism (我向思考). Breaking that “simple” __13__ down into understandable steps of progress goes a long way towards helping a student with autism comprehend and __14___ this critical interpersonal skill. The need for an apology may come at a time when emotions are running high. If this is the case, an apology need not come ___15___ to be effective. There is a huge gap between merely reciting words of apology and feeling true __16___. In the heat of anger, the student may need a cooling-off period before he or she can ___17__ real feelings of being sorry and apologize sincerely. The cooling-off period will __18___from person to person. This requires striking a balance—you want the ___19___ handled in a timely and relatively immediate way, but an insincere apology is not an ___20___ apology. Remember, attempting to teach anything when the student is still ___21___ overstressed is a wasted effort. In order to issue a sincere apology, a student needs first to understand why the apology is necessary. Learning to recite the words “I’m sorry.” isn’t enough—it doesn’t help the student understand what he or she did and the __22___ it had on another person. All students, not just those with autism, have __23___ of selfishness, defensiveness in their __24___. Encourage them to think about other people’s feelings, and explain why we make apologies is important and helps them to develop __25___. This will come increasingly over a long period.
