一、阅读理解
A
Ya Ting had taken me under her wing after hearing me speaking Chinese in a hotel in Lijiang.She had been hitchhiking (搭便车旅行) around China for months.She invited me to travel with her,which was how we ended up on the side of the road looking for a ride to the Tiger Leaping Gorge.Within 20 minutes,we had our first ride.The driver couldn’t take us all the way and ended up dropping us at a freeway crossroads.As a new hitchhiker,I thought that would be the end of our luck,but almost immediately we got another ride.
Our most unforgettable ride was when a twenty-something kid picked us up.He couldn’t take us the whole way so his uncle bought us lunch and a bus ticket for the rest of the journey.He felt it was his duty to help us find a way to complete our trip.It brought tears of joy and thankfulness to my eyes.This was the first time I understood how guests are respected in China.
A few weeks later,we said goodbye.I thought we had been so lucky because we had been a local and a foreigner traveling together.But now Ya Ting was no longer around to do the talking,nor did I have someone to depend on if something went wrong.When I stood by a highway in Sichuan,I knew all about the difficulties before me.Now I was just a strange foreigner on her own who suddenly had to manage with poor Chinese.
After about 30 minutes,a couple picked me up and took me the whole eight hours to Chengdu.We ate lunch on the way,and they refused to allow me to pay for any of it,which I had come to learn was typical of Chinese culture.This made me believe that people weren’t being friendly because of Ya Ting.

D.She was a lone foreign traveler in China.

Charles Darwin lived an unusually quiet life.In 1842,Darwin and his wife Emma moved from London to Kent in southern England to have as little disturbance (烦扰) as possible.They already had two children then,and would go on to have eight more in the country.
Darwin had very regular habits.He rose early and went for a walk.After breakfast he worked in his study until 9:30 am,his most productive time of the day,and then read his letters lying on the sofa before returning to work.
At midday he would go for another walk with his dog,stopping at his greenhouse to inspect his experiments.Then he would go for another walk around an area of woodland.While walking on his “thinking path”,Darwin would consider his unsolved scientific problems.
After lunch he read the newspaper and wrote letters.His network of friends provided information from all corners of the world.
The Darwins were not very strict parents and the children were always seen running wild.Their father worked patiently with a background of playful shouts and little footsteps walking past his study door.
After dinner Darwin played backgammon (a game for two people to play) with his wife.He once wrote,“Now the result with my wife in backgammon stands like this:she...has won only 2,490 games,while I have won,hurrah (a cheer of joy or victory),hurrah,2,795 games!”
Although he had poor health,Darwin continued to publish a lot of creative works until his final book in 1881.He died the following year,aged 73.
Rather than a quiet space in the local churchyard,which he called “the sweetest place on
Earth”,Darwin was given a state funeral (国葬) in London’s Westminster Abbey.
5.Why did the Darwins move to Kent?
A.To do more experiments.
B.To cut their cost of living.
C.To enjoy more peacefulness.
D.To be together with their children.
6.What did Darwin do every day?
A.He studied in the woods.
B.He started to work at 9:30 am.
C.He wrote letters in the morning.
D.He examined his experiments.
7.What did Darwin’s children probably think of him?
A.Strict.
B.Sweet.
C.Cold.
D.Brave.
8.What is this text mainly about?
A.Darwin’s personal life.
B.Darwin’s large family.
C.Darwin’s scientific achievements.
D.Darwin’s unusual state funeral.

The Silver Line,created this year,is a free,24 hours telephone helpline.It offers information,friendship and advice to 1people.
“It’s often easier to speak to a2,and nice to know you can 3day or night,” says Bolton,who has no family nearby.She called the helpline after it was 4by others.
New figures show that August was the charity’s5month,receiving more than 45,000
calls.Summer can be a(n) 6time for those left behind during the holiday season,7familiar faces are away for holidays,from the shopkeeper to the bus driver or even family members.Two-thirds of calls are 8at night-time and weekends,when no other services are 9.
84 percent of older people say it is very difficult to10loneliness,even to members of their 11 because they do not wish to become a “burden”.
A recent study found that almost three-quarters of older people in the UK are12,and more than half have 13spoken to anyone about how they feel.
People can call the Silver Line14,or be referred by a relative or other helplines.Helpline staff try to learn callers’15first and then suggest information or 16voluntary support,aiming to reconnect them with their communities.
“For a charity,trying to gain donations from the public is a17task,” says Sophie Andrews,chief leader of the Silver Line,“Older people are regarded as being responsible for economic fall.” To 18 this,Andrews wants a greater understanding of their mental health 19:“Being older means you are still exposed to mental health issues,but your ability to change your situation is 20.”

that.Therefore,she was very angry last night.She blamed me for not being considerable and asked me to rethink our own behavior.I couldn’t believe my mother would be so angry with me and I grew frightening.I learned a good lesson and changed a lot afterwards.I was thankful that my mother made me to realize my mistakes.

一、【篇章导读】本文是记叙文。文章叙述了一名外国女士描述她在中国搭便车旅行

的(busiest)”一个月。
6.A根据文中的“those left behind during the holiday season”和“familiar faces are away

14.C根据下文中的“or be referred by a relative or other helplines”可知,老年人可以“直接(directly)”拨打热线服务电话,或由其他热线电话转接。
15.A根据下文中的“and then suggest information”可知,热线电话工作人员首先要了解打电话求助者的“需求(needs)”,然后才给出建议。

19.D根据下文中的“Being older means...”可知,Andrews呼吁人们理解老年人的“经历(experiences)”。

I’m walking on a path in the forest in the Central African Republic. Unexpectedly, I’m face-to-face with the gorilla, who begins screaming at 2 top of her lungs. That makes her baby scream, and then a 400-pound male appears. He screams the 3 (loud) of all. The noise shakes the trees as the male beats his chest and charges toward me. I quickly lower myself, ducking my head to avoid 4 (look) directly into his eyes so he doesn’t feel 5 (challenge). My name is Mireya Mayor. I’m a 6 (science) who studies animals such as apes and monkeys. I was searching 7 these three western lowland gorillas I’d been observing. No one had seen them for hours, and my colleagues and I were worried. When the gorillas and I frightened each other, I was just glad to find 8 (they) alive. True to a gorilla’s unaggressive nature, the huge animal 9 (mean) me no real harm. He was just saying: “I’m king of this forest, and here is your reminder!” Once his message was delivered, he allowed me 10 (stay) and watch. 1.____________ 2.____________ 3.____________ 4.____________ 5.____________ 6.____________ 7.____________ 8.____________ 9.____________ 10.____________ 二．（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）(2018年6月浙江卷) Few people I know seem to have much desire or time to cook.

I still remember 4 (visit) a friend who’d lived here for five years and I 5 (shock) when I learnt she hadn’t cooked once in all that time. While regularly eating out seems to 6 (become) common for many young people in recent years, it’s not without a cost. The obvious one is money; eating out once or twice a week may be 7 (afford) but doing this most days adds up. There could be an even 8 (high) cost on your health. Researchers have found that there is a direct link between the increase in food eaten outside the home and the rise in 9 (weigh) problems. If you are not going to suffer this problem, then I suggest that the next time you go to your mum’s home 10 dinner, get a few cooking tips from her. Cooking food can be fun. You might also begin to notice the effects not only on your health but in your pocket. 1.____________ 2.____________ 3.____________ 4.____________ 5.____________ 6.____________ 7.____________ 8.____________ 9.____________ 10.____________

A Famous centenarians (百岁老人) still active in arts, science are in no mood to retire. "Those who stand still, die," is one of Oliveira's favorite phrases. He knows from experience what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession. Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project. "You have to work, work, work in order to forget that death is not far away," he said. When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some humility: "It's down to mother nature. It gave to me what it took from others." Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character. Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens. Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer (103), Nobel laureate Montalcini (101) and director Kurt Maetzig (100), Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generation. Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer. The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking（未来派的）buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor. "The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few," said Niemeyer recently. He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbladder (胆囊) operation he composed a samba tune (桑巴舞曲) in the clinic. Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters. The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works. Recently Heesters said: "I want to be at least 108-years-old." He also plans to keep performing. "Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?" Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is looking for a "good stage role". Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has described the force that keeps driving her on: "Progress is created through imperfection." In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor. She's convinced that humans grow on challenges.
2014高考英语阅读理解限时训练题及答案（10） 【深圳市2014高考英语综合能力测试题（7）】A Actually, long-distance bicycle camping is one of the most pleasurable activities I have ever experienced. I generally sleep poorly at night, but in the woods on a tour, I sleep like a baby, falling asleep with the music of insects. In the morning, I am awakened by the cheeps of birds. I eat a snack before getting up, and then I quickly pack my sleeping bag, air mattress (垫), tent, and other things and get on with my road. I'm slower in the morning, having less speed but a greater desire to stop at pleasant spots and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Traveling by bike allows me to stop anywhere, such as grasslands, lakes, woods, and scenic spots. Near lunch, I find a small grocery and buy some bread, sandwiches and fruit. Then I will find a town park or other shady spots to wait out the high mid-day sun. In the afternoon, my speeds are higher, and I spend less time on stops. In the late afternoon, I start riding more slowly, and I start thinking about where I will stop. I finally find a place in the early evening, cook a simple meal and have a rest. As it starts to get dark, I put up my tent, crawl in and fall asleep. There are exciting times and difficult times as well. Visiting strange or famous places and accomplishing goals are always exciting to me. I meet and talk with interesting people along the way, sometimes other traveling cyclists. Appreciating beautiful views, meeting wild animals, and traveling up and down hills also stir me up. On the other hand, I may run into a rainy or hot spell(一段时间), have to repair my bike, or just find myself in a bad mood. The problems are infrequent and are easy to deal with. The pleasures remain in my mind for years. 26. We can learn from the passage that the author can have a good sleep ______. A. in a hotel B. at home C. in the shade D. in the woods 27.
