M: How did they do that?

W: My father always told me that an education was one of the greatest advantages I could have, one that would always stay with me. He used to tell me that readers were leaders, and encouraged me to read all I could. As a result, I’ve always kept up with the newspapers, faithfully read magazines and learned to really enjoy books, all of which have been a valuable help to me in radio and television reporting.

M: What about your mother?

W: Well, my mother helped me in a much different way.

B. 150 minute.

C. 75 minutes.

【答案】14. A 15. B 16. A 17. C

【解析】

M: We all know that exercise is good for us, but sometimes it seems too hard to leave the sofa. W: I can see that. You seldom do exercise.

M: Plus, having the doctor tell us to get two and a half hours’ exercise a week doesn’t really help our motivation much.

W: Don’t be discouraged. Now a new study suggests getting benefits from exercise doesn’t have to be that demanding. Jacob Sattelmair from Harvard University has done a study into how much exercise is needed to lower the risk of heart attacks.

M: Mmm…, interesting!

W: The study showed that people who put in 300 minutes a week of exercise had a 20% lower risk of death due to heart disease. Still, the people who exercise 115 minutes a week did pretty well, too, lowering their death risk by 14 %.

M: And what about the people who exercise half as much as that, like what I probably do? Does that help?

W: Of course, even 15 minutes would help.

【答案】18. B 19. A 20. C

【解析】

Here is a piece of news for bird lovers. Scientists have painted a long road, red, yellow and white. They help to discourage the sea birds from wandering onto the highway. The area is home to large crowds of birds that come to stay for the season. Young birds are often attracted to the warm roads’ surface and get killed by the traffic. Biology student, Hannah tells the broadcaster. The youngster’s feathers are brown in color. The dark-colored road surface makes the youngster hard to be noticed. As the number of tourists has grown, so has the amount of traffic on the roads. Biologist Christen says the plan is to see how the birds respond to the multi-colored road this summer, and if it works, the idea could spread to other parts of the country.

【解析】

这是一篇夹叙夹议类的文章。在现代,野生动物正在遭受巨大威胁,每天都有一些物种灭绝。白鹤就是其中之一。但是,有很多人正在竭尽全力保护这些物种免于灭绝。Chris和Tim通过努力,帮助一只名叫Emma 的雌鹤繁殖了五只幼鹤。

【36题详解】

根据第一句“Wildlife has been greatly threatened in the modern age”和最后一句提到的“…the species from going out of existence”可以推知,野生动物正在遭受巨大威胁,每天都有一些物种灭绝,即:“消失”。D选项正确。

【37题详解】

前文提到每天都有物种消失,那么该句应指科学家们正在竭尽全力保护这些物种,使它们免于灭绝。故B 选项正确。

【38题详解】

上文最后一句提到科学家们竭尽全力保护濒临灭绝的物种,由此推知,该处应指Chris和Tim帮助濒危物种繁殖,增加它们的数量,这样它们才不至于灭绝。故该空应指“繁殖”,C选项正确。

【39题详解】

自从2004年,Emma一直由Chris和Tim照顾。该空和下一句中的“human caretaker”呼应。故选A。【40题详解】

根据空后的“human caretakers”可知,caretaker当然是照看Emma的。故该句应指:出生在一个国际鹤基地,Emma由人类抚养照看。故选C。

【41题详解】

根据空后的though(尽管)可知,though前后的两个句子之间是转折关系。后面提到,她过得很开心。根据转折关系,那么前文应该表示“但是这导致了出乎意料的结果”。B选项正确。

【42题详解】

根据下文中的“become deeply attached to humans…even …killing some of them”等内容可知,因为Emma一直由人类照看,所以它没有将自己看作是一只鹤,而是深深的依恋上了人类。故选A。

【43题详解】

根据上文,Emma不把自己当作鹤,所以它“拒绝”和雄鹤生活在一起。B选项正确。

【44题详解】

根据even(甚至)这个递进关系可知,Emma不仅拒绝和雄鹤生活在一起,而且因为弄死了几只雄鹤而“臭

名昭著”。故D 选项正确。 【45题详解】

Emma 拒绝和雄鹤生活,这当然使得她“不可能”生育小鹤,成为妈妈。D 选项正确。 【46题详解】

上文提到Emma 拒绝和雄鹤生活,使得她不可能生育小鹤。下文提到两位动物园管理员不想看到这一物种的灭绝。由此推知,上下文之间是转折关系。C 选项正确。 【47题详解】

经过努力,Chris 和Tim 成功的将“人工繁殖”和“自然繁殖”结合在一起。A 选项正确。 【48题详解】

Chris 和Tim 成功的将“人工繁殖”和“自然繁殖”结合在一起,这使得Emma 诞育了五只幼鹤。enable sb. to do sth.意为“使……能够做某事”,D 选项正确。 【49题详解】

根据后文的

more efforts must be made 可以推知,尽管两个人为自己的成就感到骄傲,但是他们还需要付出更多努力,因为野生鹤的数量在减少。所以他们还不能完全放心(白鹤不会灭绝)。故选C 。assured 意为“确定的,有把握的,自信的”。 【50题详解】

根据because 可知,前后句之间是因果关系,根据more efforts must be made 可以推知,野生白鹤数量在减少,所以,还要付出更多的努力(来挽救白鹤灭绝)。故D 选项正确。 【51题详解】

前文提到:野生白鹤数量正在减少,很多其他物种似乎也在逐渐灭绝。该句提到,并不是所有的人都意识到野生动物有思想,感情,以及平等生存的权利。很明显,该句是对前文出现野生动物濒临灭绝原因的一种解释。故B 选项正确。after all :毕竟(用于解释和说明理由)。 【52题详解】

针对上文提到的很多物种灭绝这种现象,作者提出一个问题:我们如何来消除将人类和动物隔开的不断扩大的鸿沟呢?B 选项正确。

53题详解】

前文提出一个问题:我们如何来消除将人类和动物隔开的不断扩大的鸿沟呢?Chris和Tim的做法给我们提供了一个答案。C选项正确。

【54题详解】

根据下文中的“hold all the solutions”可以推断出,人类认为自己的“大脑”掌握着所有的解决办法。即:人类认为自己的大脑可以想出所有的解决办法。A选项正确。

【55题详解】

根据转折词but可以推知,人类想当然的认为自己的“大脑”掌握着所有的解决办法。但或许他们可以用“心”更好地“引领”他们去保护这些濒危的动物。故A选项正确。

第三部分: 阅读理解(共15 小题;每小题2 分, 满分30 分)

请认真阅读下列短文, 从短文后各题所给的A.B.C.D 四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

这是一篇说明文。短文向游客介绍了去布克斯顿旅游可以去的一些景点的相关信息。

【56题详解】

细节理解题。由High energy中的“...... journey beneath the earth at Poole's Cavern”可知,在Poole's Cavern,可以在地下旅行,也就是乘坐地铁旅行。所以如果你想乘地铁旅行,Poole's Cavern是你最好的选择。故A选项正确。

【57题详解】

细节理解题。由High minded中的“Buxton is justifiably proud of it’s cultural life and you will find much to suit all tastes with art ,music,opera,and the performing arts at Buxton Opera House&Pavilion Arts Center and Green Man Gallery”可知,Buxton 以其丰富的文化生活而自豪,在Buxton Opera House&Pavilion Arts Center and Green Man Gallery,您将发现许多适合各种品味的艺术、音乐、歌剧和表演艺术。所以Buxton Opera House&Pavilion Arts Center特别是因为它提供艺术和文化活动。故C选项正确。

B

In the 1960s,while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park,Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that,oddly,had not troubled anyone before:he couldn't find the park's volcano. It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature — that's what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features. But Christiansen couldn't find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.

Most of us,when we talk about volcanoes,think of the classic cone(圆锥体)shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro,which are created when erupting magma(岩浆)piles up. These can form remarkably quickly.

2014江苏高考英语卷单选解析word版

2014江苏高考英语卷答案解析(单选部分) 21.Lessons can be learned to face the future, history cannot be changed. A.though B. as C. since D. unless 21.A. 本题考察连词用法。根据句意结合常识来判断,A选项更合理:“尽管历史无法改变,教训却能够被吸取来面对未来。”B选项也有尽管的意思,但用于“n/adj/adv+as+主谓”结构中。C选项是最大干扰项,“既然,由于”。似乎说得通,但是题干前后两句并非因果关系。D选项相当于if not. 22.The book has helped me greatly in my daily communication, especially at work a good impression is a must. A. which B.when C.as D. where 22. D. 本题考察定语从句关系词的用法。其解题的突破口是先行词的判断及句子成分的分析。本题先行词为work,可以理解为抽象的地点;而从句部分不缺主语也不缺宾语,因此可以排除关系代词,而选择可以做状语的关系副词where. 句意为“这本书在日常交际中给予我很大的帮助,尤其是在第一印象至关重要的工作中。” 23.---How much do you know about the Youth Olympic Games to be held in Nanjing? --- Well, the media it in a variety of forms. A.cover B. will cover C.have covered D.covered 23. C. 本题考察时态的用法。“你了解将在南京举行的青奥会么?”“各大媒体已进行了全方位的报道。” 24.Tom always goes jogging in the morning and he usually does push-ups too to stay . A.in place B.in order C.in shape D.in fashion 24.C. 本题考察介词短语。A.就位,到位。B.井然有序。C.保持体形 D. 流行。根据句意,“Tom坚持早上跑步并且还常常做俯卧撑来维持体形.” 25. Top graduates from universities are ______ by major companies. A. chased B. registered C. offered D. compensate 25.A. 本题考察动词词汇量。A.追逐,追求。B.注册,登记。C.提供,常接双宾语。D.赔偿,补偿。根据句意可知,高才生受到各大公司的青睐,成为争相录用的对象。 26.---What a mess! You are always so lazy! ---I’m not to blame, mum, I am you have made me. A.how B.what C.that D.who 26.B.本题考察名词性从句。“这么乱!你总是这么懒!”“妈妈,要怪也不应当怪我啊。我这么懒也是你娇惯出来的。”言外之意是,“You made me what I am.” 27.She was put under house arrest two years ago but remained powerful in the last year’s election. A.symbol B.portrait C.identity D.statue 27.A. 她两年前被软禁,但是在去年的选举中仍然是势力强大的代表人物。本题考察名词词汇量。A. 象征,代表。B.肖像C.身份。 D. 雕像,塑像。 28.The idea “happiness”, , will not sit still for easy definition. A.to be rigid B.to be sure C.to be perfect D.to be fair 28.B.本题考察不定式做插入语的常见短语。A.刻板地,僵硬地。B. 毫无疑问,可以肯定地说。C. 为了完美。D.公平地说。根据句意“幸福的概念,可以肯定地说,并非一成不变,因此很难定义什么是幸福。” 29.The lecture , a lively question-and-answer session followed.

Even the Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese includes 239 English words. Some people support it while others do not. Generally, I am in favour of the inclusion. As the number of English learners is on the rise, it’s not difficult for them to understand these words in Chinese contexts. Besides, it is, on some occasions, more convenient to use English words. Most people nowadays use “IT” instead of its translation “xinxi jishu.” In our global village, we can see that it’s not uncommon for one language to borrow words from other languages. In English, there are many words borrowed from Latin, French, or even Chinese. In fact, Chinese has never stopped taking words from other languages, say, “ganbu” or “minzhu” from Japanese. So, it’s safe to conclude that it is reasonable to include English which facilitates daily communication. 反对: With English words getting popular in both media and daily life, a Chinese dictionary has included 239 of them, leaving the public divided into two opposing groups: “For” and “Against.” I tend to take the “Against”side for two reasons. Firstly, this inclusion has actually polluted our mother tongue. Sooner or later, many English accents will rise and fall with the four Chinese tones. And, rules don’t tell us how to pronounce such English-turned Chinese words as “wifi” and “Out”in a Chinese way! Secondly, such an inclusion may give rise to prejudices of the educated against those with little knowledge of English. Just for one illustration, while college students take “Bye-bye”for granted when parting from each other, it may unconsciously hurt the feelings of someone who is used to “zaijian.”
