2014届高考高三英语二轮复习专题训练：阅读理解（3）Word版含答案1.阅读下列短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、 B、 C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Former Irish President Mary Robinson was just making a polite conversation with an Ethiopian（埃塞俄比亚的）teenager about her wedding day. The 16-year-old had already been married for a year．"She looked at me with the saddest eyes and said, 'I had to drop out of school,'" Robinson said in a telephone interview．"That conveyed to me the reality, "said Robinson, the first woman to serve as Ireland's president and former U．N．high commissioner for human rights．"Her life, as far as she is concerned, had more or less ended．"Robinson said keeping girls in school was one of the most important things policymakers could do to address the coming challenges of an ever-increasing population, predicted by the United Nations to reach 7 billion soon．"European countries are concerned about aging populations as is Japan, but this is much less of an issue than the huge number of people which we are going to see over the next 40 years when the population goes from 7 billion to 9 billion, "she said．"Almost all of that increase will be in poor developing countries, so that we have a very big challenge．"Family planning experts worry in particular about the future population explosion in sub-Saharan Africa．In May, the United Nations projected the world population would reach 9.3 billion in 2050 and 10.1 billion by 2100. Much of that growth will come from Africa, where the population is growing at 2.3 percent a year—more than double Asia' s 1 percent growth rate. If that rate stays consistent, which is not certain, Africa's population will reach 3.6 billion by 2100 from the present 1 billion．Joel Cohen, a professor of population studies at Rockefeller University and Columbia University in New York, said universal secondary education offered a way to reduce population in high birth-rate regions. In addition to providing information about birth control, a secondary education teaches women to reduce their own fertility（生育力）, improve the health of their children and allows them to move from a mind-set of having many children, in the hopes that some will survive to improving the quality of each child's life, Cohen wrote in the journal Nature.59. In the first paragraph, the author introduces his topic by_____．A. explaining the author's opinionsB. giving an exampleC. describing the poor education systemD. coming straight to the topic60. What can we learn from the passage?A. Robinson is happy after talking to the Ethiopian girl.B. Robinson is a successful expert in population studies.C. Robinson is worried about population growth.D. Robinson encourages female education.61. What is Joel Cohen's view about secondary education?A. It provides basic knowledge of health.B. It improves the health of children.C. It makes people pay more attention to education.D. It can change people's parenting ideas.62. According to the passage, the most important way to control high population growth is .A. keeping girls in schoolB. letting girls go away from AfricaC. letting young girls remain singleD. keeping girls in families2.阅读下列短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、 B、 C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AIt’s such a happy-looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm-tree stickers and shelter ed from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, it’s pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.It’s a library built w ith love.A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “That’s what we’re going to do for our spring break!”Son Austin, now a 10th-grader, didn’t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he’d built years earlier for daughter Abbie’s toy horses, and made a door of glass.After adding the library’s final touches (装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book,” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.They stocked it with 20 or so books they’d already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids’ favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again,” said Janey, a stay-at-home mom.Since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.The project’s best payoff, says Peter, are the thank-you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”【文章大意】文章主要讲述了Janey Henriksen一家建立微型图书馆的故事。

2014届高考高三英语二轮专题复习：阅读理解（2）Goldie’s SecretShe turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way，not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before.“We’re moving house.”“No space for her any more with the baby coming.”“We never really wanted her，but what could we have done？She was a present.”People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name.She was so unsettled during those first few days.She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her.There was nothing I could do to make her happy，it seemed.Heaven kn ows what had happened to her at her previous owner’s. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down.Always by my side，whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.That’s why it was such a shock when she pulled away fro m me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home，when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn’t hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie.But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them.“We didn’t know what had happened to her，”said the woman at the door.“I took her for a walk one day，soon after the puppies were born，and she just disappeared.”“She must have tried to come back to them and got lost，”added a boy from behind her.I must admit I do miss Goldie，but I’ve got Nugget now，and she looks just like her mother. And I’ve learnt a good lesson：not to judge people.【语篇解读】文章讲述了一只狗(Goldie)的故事：它从原先的家中走失，被作者收养。

A．A fellow speaker from California named Geri flew to Japan, in her favorite jeans and a casual jacket, to give her first speech. Fourteen hours later, four perfectly dressed Japanese gentlemen greeted her at Narita Airport. Smiling and bowing low, they handed her their business cards. With her bag in one hand, Geri took their cards with the other. She thanked them, glanced briefly at the cards, and put them into her jeans pocket quickly.When the five of them arrived at the hotel, they invited Geri to tea in the lobby (大厅). While sipping tea, the gentlemen presented her with a small gift which she eagerly opened. She was thrilled with the gift and shouted excitedly, “Oh, it’s beautiful!”At this point, the four Japanese gentlemen stood up and, bowing only very slightly, said “Sayonara” and left immediately. Poor Geri was left astonished. What did she do wrong?Everything! Her jeans were the first gaffe. Even if you’re coming off a bicycle in Japan, you do not meet clients (客人) casually dressed. The second mistake was Ger i’s handling of their business cards rudely. In Japan, the business card is one of the most important communicative tools. It is always presented and accepted respectfully with both hands. However, Geri put their cards away much too quickly. In Japan, people use business cards as a conversation starter. You chat about each other’s cards and work and do not put theirs away until they gently and respectfully place yours in safekeeping. Putting it carelessly into her jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect.Then, the fourth horror of horrors was that Geri should not have opened the gift in front of her clients. In a land where saving face is critical, it would beembarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice as the one they received. What is wors e, Geri hadn’t even given them a gift!【文章大意】本文叙述了来自加利福尼亚的Geri坐飞机来到了日本，由于不熟悉日本的礼仪，引起了日本人的误会。

AThis is an open letter to the three people who stole my handbag from the department store I am employed as a shop assistant.When you took my bag, I don’t know what you thought you were going to get. With my wages, there's not much left on a Tuesday. I hope the ￡5 was useful to you . I have informed the social security office so you won’t be able to cash the child benefit next week. I hope that won't leave you too short. But if you really need a couple of pounds, I suppose you could always cash one of the two checks left in my check book. Of course, I phoned the bank right away and the check-casing card is no longer valid, so it won’t be much use to you.Actually I don’t mind about the money too much. We single parents who work to support our families understand only too well what it means to be short of cash. However, I don’t suppose it went very far among the three of you. Sorry about that!I wish you had left the bag behind and just taken the wallet and check book. There were all kinds of papers in it, and notes and things that I really need. I really think that was very inconsiderate of you. I mean, how would you like something like that to happen to you?Well, perhaps the bag will turn up. It wasn’t even an expensive one, just a plain, old brown leather shoulder bag. You probably dumped it in the nearest rubbish bin or threw it into the bushes. We've looked around, of course, but no one saw which way you went after you left the shop.I'm not really angry with you. I know how the pressures of modern living can affect us, but I am sad at the loss of my personal things. I feel violated and helpless. The police were very icy, and they just shrugged their shoulders. “It happens all the time,” the y told me. Some small comfort, I suppose. But I’ve lost just a little more faith in human nature．And as my young son said when I told him what had happened, “Why? Mummy, why us?”I couldn'tanswer that question. I wonder if you can.1. In writing Paragraph 2, the writer wants to .A. describe the contents of the bag in detail.B. give some suggestions to the three thievesC. state the fact that she was careless with the moneyD. tell the thieves hardly any money was available2. Which of the following is the most valuable to the writer?A. The cash in her bag.B. The handbag itself.C. The papers and notes in the bag.D. The check books in the bag.3. What can we conclude about the police?A. They think the case quite common.B. They show sympathy for the woman.C. They have doubts about human nature.D. They are unable to find the thieves.4. Why does the author write the letter?A. To give the thieves a serious warning.B. To express her affection for her valuable bag.C. To call people’s attention to their belongings.D. To complain about the fall of morality.【参考答案】1— 4 DCADJob sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full-time job. The two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker. If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50 per cent of the job’s wages, its holidays and its other benefits.Job sharing differs from conventional part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment.Job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people. Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities.As would be expected, most job sharers are women. A survey carried out in 1988 by Britain’s Equal Opportunities Commission showed that 78 per cent of sharers were female, the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age. Subsequent studies have come up with similar results. Many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had children, but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status. Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence.The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one-position jobs. However, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position. Moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones. In sum, for a position to be job-shared well, the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals.5. In what way is work sharing different from job sharing?A. Work sharing is aimed at creating more jobs.B. Work sharing requires more working hours.C. Work sharing provides a more satisfactory salary.D. Work sharing depends on the employer’s decision.6. According to Paragraph 4, young mothers preferred job sharing to conventional part-time workmainly because _________.A. they were over ideal working agesB. they sought higher social statusC. they had difficulty finding full-time jobsD. they had to take care of both work and family7. In job sharing the partners should __________.A. enjoy equal social statusB. have similar work experienceC. know each other very wellD. keep in touch with each other8. The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. discuss how to provide more jobsB. describe job sharing in generalC. recommend job sharing to womenD. compare job sharing with work sharing参考答案5—8.ABCBConsider―YOU. In all time before now and in all time to come, there has never been and will never be anyone like you. You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe. Wow! Stop and think about that. You are better than anyone in a million.You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity（无穷，无限）!You are amazing! You're awesome! Beautiful young people are the whimsy of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art. But you don' t become "beautiful" just by virtue of the aging process.Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life. That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by just waiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers. You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today.Paint a Masterpiece.God gives every bird its food, but he doesn't throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, it's truly up to you!1．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．You B．A masterpiece C．Enjoy your life D．Real beauty2．By writing this passage, what message does the writer mean to provide us?A．Being confident is more important than anything else.B．You are of course better than anyone else.C．Real beauty comes from learning, growing and loving in the ways of life.D．God will help you once you have made up your mind.3．What does the underlined word“accelerate”mean?A．slow down B．increase the speed ofC．develop D．help4．What is the main idea of the last three paragraphs?A．God will help those are the most diligent.B．Actions are more important than goals.C．God will help you if necessary.D．You are the master of your goals and actions参考答案1-4 A A B DThe next decade will witness the most important changes in the way we consume sport since the appearance of mass audience television in the 1950's. The development of media channels such as satellite and cable television, the internet and mobile telephones has broken the traditional free television model in every advanced economy. Well managed sports will remain valuable content and many will continue to grow. Forward thinking governing bodies will grasp the opportunity by repackaging their sports to adapt to the new broadcast landscape. Others will not.Brand marketers have seen the effectiveness of the traditional TV sport advertising fall over the last twenty years as audiences for free to air television fall year by year. The growth of sponsorship（赞助）as a marketing tool is one result. However, sport must compete for the sponsor dollar with other forms of content such as music, the arts and culture and cause-related marketing, each of which offers a powerful choice.At the same time some of sports biggest marketers, the soft drink, beer and fast foodcompanies, will come under growing pressure from social and political pressure groups concerned about levels of obesity（肥胖）, over drinking and anti-social behavior that have become such a part of modern life.Companies such as McDonalds, Coca Cola and Budweiser face calls to cut its ties with sport, which will be popular over the next decade. Are we facing a ban on soft drink sponsorship similar to that of tobacco? Certainly, the removal of hundreds of millions of sponsorship dollars from the sports economy worldwide would have destructive influence. This report analyses the threat, seeking comparisons with the strategy employed by the tobacco abolitionists（废除主义者）a decade ago.1．Which of the following does NOT affect traditional television model?A．Cable television. B．The internet.C．Mobile phones. D．Mass audience television2．What can we infer from the second paragraph?A．Sponsorship leads to the fall of sport advertising.B．Sport can’t match the arts.C．Music, the art and culture often act as sponsors in sports.D．The fall of advertising only happens to some brand marketers3．If a child is overweight, which of the following may be responsible according to this passage?A．His parents. B．Growing sport sponsorshipC．Some big food or drink companies. D．Advanced economy.4．In he last paragraph, the author fears thatA．the ban on tobacco will be abolished ten years later.B．the sponsorship of soft drink companies will destruct sports economy.C．food and drink companies will be popular.D．fast food and soft drink sponsorship will be banned like tobacco sooner or later.参考答案 D A C DWhen I was a boy，my father told me that he could do anything that he wanted to do . Dad said that he wanted to be the first to develop color prints in our city, and so he did．When I was 16，Dad looked closely at the violin I played and announced that he wanted to make one．He read about violin making，and then became a violin-maker at the age of 43．He bought the tools and materials, opened a small store and set Mom up as the shopkeeper, while he worked at a local company．He retired from the company 17 years later and continued to make violins and other instruments.Dad often guessed why the Stradivarius violins sounded so beautiful．Some experts claimed that it was the unique varnish（油漆）that gave those instruments their beautiful sound．Dad argued that chemists could analyze the varnish------if that were the answer．One of Dad's friends asked him once which kind of wood was used to make violins．When Dad explained that the top was made of spruce，his friend said that he had an old piece of spruce Dad might be interested in．He worked for the next 12 months making a violin from the wood that his friend had given him. It proved to be a superior violin and it would become Dad's masterpiece．He was convinced that the secret of the Stradivarius sound was in the wood itself．Later，the instrument was stolen．Dad's spirit was broken by the robbery, and he stopped making instruments. But he kept the music shop until he was 80 years old，selling guitars and violins．My father has been gone for 14 years now．The violin has been missing for more than25 years．Somewhere a musician is playing a late-20tb-centruy violin with an excellent tone．The owner today may never understand why this ordinary-looking violin sounds so much like a Stradivarius.1. The author mentions his father's developing color prints_________A．to show that his father's real interest was not in making violinsB．to prove that his father could do anything he wanted to doC．to give an example proving that his father was an inventorD．to describe the real thing that made the author believe his father2. What did the author's father think about Stradivarius violins?A．The varnish was different from the others．B．The way of making them was specialC．The wood of the violins was specialD．They could only be analyzed by chemists．3. How long did the author’s father live after the violin was stolen ?A. About 11 yearsB. About 14 yearsC. About 25 yearsD. About 80 years( 答案、B C A B )。

2014高三英语二轮复习专题精品训练：阅读理解阅读理解Most students hate their endless homework. The students from Class 2, Senior 2 of the High School Affiliated to Peking University certainly did so before they published their own collection of English novels at home.Their small book contains stories about a holy (神圣的) war, the happy life of a self-taught artist and the story of a laid-off worker who devoted his last breath to playing his beloved accordion (手风琴). The book becomes an instant hit on campus. About 3,000 copies have been sold and the class is already working on the second volume."We're up to our ears in homework. Exercises and exams make us out of breath. But to do something creative and full of imagination is such a great achievement," said Yu Xiaoxiao, 16. "I took the writing as an ordinary homework at the beginning, but after I finished the first part of my story, I could not help but let it flow," said Wang An, who wrote "Accordion".Inspired by "Lord of the Rings", Jiang Lu wrote his story about magic wins between angels from the light and the dark side. "The main message of the story was to look at the balance of the world. Both dark and light angels fight with love as their weapons. I want to tell people that selfish love might bring hate," Jiang said."I was shocked by their work and felt so proud to be the editor of my students' book," said Nathaniel Timmermann, the oral English teacher at the school. Liu Xiuqin, an English teacher, started the project by asking students to write whatever was in their mind every week. "They have performed beyond expectation," Liu said. "They wrote interesting stories and their English has improved after they started to express their real minds.""We never imagined that our homework would be so popular and profitable (盈利的).

(A)Some scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings.The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.Decibels (分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land.A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety－five would have the same effect.Some scientists have suggested setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in the oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales（鲸鱼）.A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals.The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected(被感染的).Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds are against a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to oceananimals. However, many scientists don’t think that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean. 【文章大意】本文叙述了研究表明噪音污染引起了海洋生物的危险，科学家将来要采取措施拯救海洋生物，阻止噪音对海洋生物的伤害，提醒我们也要意识到保护海洋生物的重要性。

Florence Chadwick was a great swimmer. However, not all of her efforts worked out. In addition to working hard, she had a secret for success. At the age of 34, her goal was to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to the California coast. However, in 1952, the sea was like an ice bath and the fog was so dense that she could hardly see her support boats. Her body was numb(麻木) and she had been swimming for nearly 16 hours. Against the cold grip of the sea, she struggled on—hour after hour—while millions watched on national television. Alongside Florence, inone of the boats, her mother and her trainer offered encouragement. They told her it wasn’t much farther. But all she could see was fog. They urged her not to quit. She never had… until then. With only a half mile to go, she asked to be pulled out. Still warming her chilled body several hours later, she told a reporter, “Look, I’m not excusing myself, but if I could have seen land I might have made it.” It was not tiredness or even the cold water that defeated her. It was the fog. She was unable to see her goal. Two months later, she tried again. Despite the same dense fog, she swam with her faith intact（未受影响的）and her goal clearly pictured in her mind. She knew that somewhere behind that fog was land and this time she made it!【写作内容】你准备参加学校最近组织的一次英文演讲比赛，主题是“The Value of Goals”。

Though he is only 18 years old and blind, Suleyman Gokyigk is among the top computer technicians and programmers at Intelidata Technologies Corp. , a large software company with several offices across the United States. "After our company united with another one last October, two different computer networks were driving us crazy," recalls Douglas Braun, the InteliData president. "We couldn't even send E-mail to each other." In three weeks Mr. Gokyigit created the software needed to connect the two networks. "None of the company's 350 other employees could have done the job in three months" , says Mr. Braun. "Suleyman can'see' into the heart of the computer."Mr. Gokyigit's gift, as Mr. Braun calls it, is an unusual ability to form an idea of the inside of a machine. "The computer permits me to reach out into the world and do almost anything I want to do," says Mr. Gokyigit.The young programmer is at home with hardware as well, thanks partly to a highly developed sense of touch. Mitzi Nowakows-ki, an office manager at InteliData, remembers how he easily disconnected and reconnected their computer systems during a move last year. "Through feel, Suleyman can find the position of connectors, pins and wires much faster than most other people with sight,' he says.Much of the student programmer's speed comes from his ability not to be interrupted while at the computer. When typing, he listens carefully to the synthesizer(合成器). His long, thin fingers fly over keyboard. "Nothing seems to shake his attention,' says Mrs. Nowa-kowski, his boss.Mr. Gokyigit is the only company employee who is available (可找到的) 24 hours a day.

2014届高考高三英语二轮专题复习：阅读理解ADeserts are found where there is little rainfall or where rain for a whole year falls in only a few weeks' time. Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive (存活) if the rain is spread throughout the year. If it falls within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high. There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs (悬崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing--very, very slowly--as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that have adapted to life in the deserr. During the heat of the day, a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.1. Many plants may survive in deserts when_______.A. the rain is spread out in a yearB. the rain falls only in a few weeksC. there is little rain in a yearD. it is dry all the year round .答案: A 指导：通过第一段内容可推出，此外作为中学生都应该有这样的常识，这题应是一个送分题。

can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them．He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts．Then he thinks about the notes in his head．Two years ago，he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven．He surprised everyone around him．Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly，his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable．They say his ability is very rare，but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special．Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents，but music teachers told him he should study music instead．Now，he studies law and music．Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised．"I grew up with music．My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar．About two years ago，Isuddenly decided to start playing the piano，without being able to read music and without having any lessons．It comes easily to me﹣﹣﹣I hear the notes and can bear them in mind﹣﹣﹣each and every note，"says Samuel．Recently，Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college．The piece had more than a thousand notes．The audience was impressed by his amazing performance．He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it．Samuel says confidently，"It's all about super memory﹣﹣﹣I guess I have that gift．"However，Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music．His family says that even when he was a young boy，Samuel heard someone read a story，and then he could retell the story word for word．Samuel is still only a teenager．He doesn't know what he wants to do in the future．For now，he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies．26．What is special

ability to remember things accurately．C．He plays the piano better than many professional pianists．D．He impressed the audience by playing all the musical pieces．30．Which of the following is the best title of the passage？A．The Qualities of a MusicianB．The Story of a Musical TalentC．The Importance of Early EducationD．The Relationship between Memory and Music．31．（10分）It was a cold winter day．A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth （收费站）．"I'm paying for myself，and for the six cars behind me，"she said with a smile，handing over seven tickets．One after another，the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed，"Some lady up ahead already paid your fare．"It turned out that the woman，Natalie Smith，had read something on a friend's refrigerator："Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty．"The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down．Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home．When it stayed on her mind for days，she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down．"I thought it was beautiful，"she said，explaining why she'd taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters，"like a message from above．"Her husband，Frank，liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students，one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson，a local news reporter．Alice put it in the newspaper，admitting that though she liked it，she didn't know where it came from or what it really meant．Two days later，Alice got a call from Anne Herbert，a woman living in Marin．It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper，after turning it around in her mind for days．"Here's the idea，"Anne says．"Anything you think there should be more of，do it randomly．"Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools，leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town，and giving money secretly to a proud old lady．Anne says，"Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can．" The acts of random kindness spread．If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid，who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later．Like all great events，kindness begins slowly，with every single act．Let it be yours!31．Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her？A．She knew the car drivers well．B．She wanted to show kindness．C．She hoped to please others．D．She had seven tickets．32．Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she．A．thought it was beautifully writtenB．wanted to know what it really meantC．decided to write it on a

kindness are likely to offer it to others．C．People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet．D．People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver．36．（10分）Like many new graduates，I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do．My degree，with honors，in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical．I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow，but I had no idea how to do that．That's when I learned about the Lighthouse Project．I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers．I knew it would be a lot of hard work，and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time．In short，I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly．Neither did my family．Eventually，however，I won the support of my family，and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application．After countless interviews and presentations，I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone．Several months later，I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty．I would be going to a small village near Abuja，Nigeria．Where？What？Nigeria？I had no idea．But I was about to find out．After completing my training，I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation．Though the local villagers were poor，they offered their homes，hearts，and food as if I were their own family．I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse．For the next year or so，I taught in that same schoolhouse．But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me．Sometime during that period，I realized that all those things that had seemed sostrange or unusual to me no longer did，though I did not get anywhere with the local language，and returned to the United States a different man．The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever．36．What do we know about the author？A．His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge．B．His dream at university was to become a

arrival at the village，the author was．A．Asked to lead a farming teamB．Sent to teach in schoolhouseC．Received warmly by local villagersD．Arranged to live in a separate house．40．What can we infer from the author's experiences in Nigeria？A．He found some difficulty adapting to the local cultureB．He had learned to communicate in the local language．C．He had overcome all his weakness before he left for home．D．He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students．41．（10分）Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents （洋流）．Most do it using satellites and other high﹣tech equipment．However，ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way﹣﹣﹣by studying movements of random floating garbage．A scientist with many years'experience，he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States．There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear．Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes﹣about 60，000 in total﹣fell into the ocean in a shipping accident．He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back．As expected，the company told him that they didn't．Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment．If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed，he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents．The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing（海滩搜寻）because winds and currents join here，and as a result，there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area．Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed．In a year he collected reliable information on 1，600shoes．With this data，he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents，and publish the findings of their study．As the result of his work，Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean．He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts，with 500subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand．They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves．41．The underlined phrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to．A．fitting roomsB．trading fairsC．business talksD．group meetings42．Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out．A．what caused the shipping accidentB．when and where the shoes went missingC．whether it was all right to use their shoesD．how much they lost in the shipping accident43．How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption？A．By collecting information from beachcombersB．By studying the shoes found by beachcomberC．By searching the web for ocean currents modelsD．By researching ocean currents data in the library44．Ebbesmeyer is most famous for．A．traveling widely the coastal cities of the worldB．making records for any lost objects on the seaC．running a global currents research associationD．phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea45．What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage？A．To call people's attention to ocean pollutionB．To warn people or snipping safety in the oceanC．To explain a unique way of studing ocean currentsD．To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach．第二节信息匹配（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息，请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑46．（10分）首先请阅读某大学提供给学生的项目信息：46．I grow up in a very big family．My parents

year，my brother and I went to Miami for a vacation．Some of my friends who had been there before said （16）it was a wonderful holiday destination．Before we went，we had planned for months．When the day came，we were ready．After our plane landed，we went to the hotel．We had made our reservation six months（17）earlier（early），but the man at the front desk said there had been a mistake．We （18）were told（tell）that our rooms hadn't been reserved for that week，（19）but for the week after．I didn't understand （20）why this would happen and my credit card had already been charged（21）for the reservation．What's worse，the hotel had been fully booked．When we were wondering what to do，the manager came out．She was （22）surprisingly （surprise）helpful．She apologized for the mistake and gave us a spare VIP room on（23）the top floor．We had never stayed in such an amazing room，and we weren't charged extra．The next day，my brother and I went to the beach （24）where we watched some people play volleyball．We got a little （25）sunburned/sunburnt （sunburn），but the day had been so relaxing that we didn't mind．【分析】本文是记叙文．讲述的是我和兄弟去迈阿密旅游，当到达目的地后，来到六个月前订的宾馆，却意外被告知订的房间是下个星期的，且该宾馆的房间已订满，正当不知如何办时，经理出来了，将我们安排在留出来的VIP房间，且不另外收他们的钱，这真是个意外的意外．通过能够不考虑自己的利益，而设身处地地为他人着想，这是一个优良的品质．【解答】16．it 考查代词．根据在said后的宾语从句中缺主语，应填代词，指代前句中Mimami这个地方，故填it．17．earlier 考查形容词比较级．根据句子结构可知，空格处在句中作状语，依然用副词，不变词性，可考虑用比较级，由时态"had made"可知，是早在六个月前就定好了．故填earlier．18．were told 考查谓语动词．根据时态语态以及主谓一致规则的变化．由句意或tell sb sth这一句型结构可知，是"我们被告知"，由上下文的时态可知，用一般过去时的被动语句态．故填were told．19．but 考查并列连词．根据固定结构"not…but…"可知，这里表示不是那个星期订的而是后一个星期订的．故填but．20．why 考查宾语从句的连接词．根据句意可知，我不知道为什么会发生这样的事．用why引导宾语从句．故填why．21．for 考介词．根据固定搭配"charge sb sth for…"可知．故填for．22．surprisingly 考查词性转换．由本句已有作表语的形容词helpful，所以应用副词来修饰形容词helpful，指"邻人惊讶地，意外地"，故填"surprisingly"．23．the 考查冠词．这里特指"在楼顶"．24．where 考查定语从句连接词．先行词是"the beach（表地点）"，定语从句中不缺主、宾、表等主要成分，应该用关系副词作状语，故填where．25．sunburned/sunburnt 考查动词变为非谓语动词．在表示"变化"的got后作表语，要用形容词．sunburn是动词，其形容词形式是sunburned或sunburnt．Ⅱ阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节阅读理解（共4小题；每小题10分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．26．（10分）（2014•广东）Samuel Osmond is a 19﹣year﹣old law student from Cornwall，England．He never studied the piano．However，he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them．He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts．Then he thinks about the notes in his head．Two years ago，he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven．He surprised everyone around him．Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly，his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable．They say his ability is very rare，but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special．Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents，but music teachers told him he should study music instead．Now，he studies law and music．Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised．"I grew up with music．My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar．About two years ago，I suddenly decided to start playing the piano，without being able to read music and without having any lessons．It comes easily to me﹣﹣﹣I hear the notes and can bear them in mind﹣﹣﹣each and every note，"says Samuel．Recently，Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college．The piece had more than a thousand notes．The audience was impressed by his amazing performance．He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it．Samuel says confidently，"It's all about super memory﹣﹣﹣I guess I have that gift．"However，Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music．His family says that even when he was a young boy，Samuel heard someone read a story，and then he could retell the story word for word．。
