高中英语真题:高考英语（四月）完形填空、阅读理解小练（6）答案阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

Heading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips fr om our experts you should keep in mind:Dress to impress: Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smi th says, “Girls should keep in mind that your college professor s will often be the bridge that connects you to your future care er and your classmates will become your professional networ k. You do n’t need to dress like you’re going to the office, but y ou should display an ability to properly present yourself with a ppropriate maturity and confidence, and look put together.”Logo mania (品牌狂热症): Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so conside r the targeted age group of the stores you shop at. It’s temptin g to load up on logos, especially well-known logos that signify high-end brands. But consider this: college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style. Instead of wearing logos head to toe, “walking advertisement”-style, why not express who you really are?Wear real pants! The combination of leggings and baggy shirt s is all too common on college campuses. Smith points out th at leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unaccept able in public unless you’re exercising. Although leggings wor n as pants are a common trend among high school and colleg e girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear. As a y oung woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your m aturity level. So, get rid of leggings and wear real pants! Keep the cute factor to a minimum: Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters, or Hello Kitty o n them. Sure, kittens might be cute, but they’re not doing you any favors in the style department. Dressing too cutesy can ta ke years off your look, and not necessarily in a good way!1. The second paragraph indicates the importance of _______ _.A. impressing professorsB. getting on well with classmatesC. creating a professional imageD. dressing appropriately2. The author believes that college girls should ________.A. choose a logo that suits their ageB. try to load up on well-known logosC. use logos to show who they areD. find their identity by trying different logos3. The author recommends wearing real pants because _____ ___.A. leggings and baggy shirts are too commonB. yoga pants and sweatpants are not as comfortableC. real pants can present you with appropriate maturityD. people like real pants better than the other pants4. What’s the writer’s attitude towards sweaters with animals on them?A. They make people look lovely.B. They are very fashionable these days.C. They will show you’re an animal lover.D. They are not suitable for college-aged students.5. In which magazine would you most likely find this passage?A. Business Week.B. Parents.C. In style.D. Travel & Lei sure.【参考答案】1—5、D A C D C阅读理解。

Tea drinking was common in China for about one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.Tea was rare and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more appreciate of tea. Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day an outstanding French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added. She found it so agreeable. Because she was such a great lady, her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few British people drink tea without milk.At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a submerging(沉浸) feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, tea-time was born.56．Which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into Britain?A．The British got expensive tea from India.B．Tea reached Britain from Holland.C．The British were the first people in Europe who drank tea.D．It was not until the 17th century that the British had tea.57．This passage mainly discusses.A．the history of tea drinking in BritainB．how tea became a popular drink in BritainC．how the British got the habit of drinking teaD．how tea-time was born58．People in Europe began to drink tea with milk because.A．it tasted like milkB．it tasted more pleasantC．it became a popular drinkD．Madame de Sevigne was such a lady with great social influence that people tried to copy the way she drank tea59．We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was m ostly due to the influence of .A．a famous French lady B．the ancient ChineseC．the upper social class D．people in Holland【参考答案】56---59、BADC阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

2015天津市高考英语阅读、完形填空（四月）冲刺自练（11）答案阅读理解【2014·江西省抚州五校高三第六次联考】Parents who are thinking of sending their children to private schools often weigh the advantages and disadvantages because not all people can afford to send their children to these schools.They are definitely not cheap.There is also the anxiety of being separated from their children.However，there are many advantages private schools can have over public schools. Small class sizes—Private schools have a significant difference in terms of class size from public schools.While typical public schools may have class sizes ranging from 30－40 (some even more)，private schools keep their class sizes small (usually from 4 to 15 )．Children are less likely to be overlooked when class sizes are this small.Teachers can easily spot students who are having difficulties with their lessons；they can form a more positive relationship with them，and students can feel that they are given more attention in class.Excellent facilities—Many private schools have facilities that are on a par with universities and they have the space and the means to allow children to explore many different kinds of afterschool programs such as sports，performing arts，and more.Such programs can help young people become well-rounded individual s.It’s one of the private school advantages that they will take with them well into their adulthood.Teachers—Generally，private schools pride themselves with the fact that they hire teachers who have advanced degrees in their field and who belong to diverse cultures. Administration—Public school systems are likely to make it difficult to implement positive changes that can benefit the staff and the students.Since private schools are structured differently，it’s easier to make changes and carry them out without having to go through all that red tape. Funding—Private schools are funded by tuition fees，donations，and other sources of income.If they need money to improve facilities or hire more staff，they always have the option to increase the tuition fee or explore other means of obtaining income.1．Why are some parents unwilling to send their children to private schools?①The fees are high.②Private schools have different school systems.③The teachers belong to diverse cultures.④Private schools keep the class sizes very small.⑤They’re anxious about being separated from their children.A．①⑤B．①②⑤C．①③D．②③⑤2．Compared with students in private schools，students in public schools________.A．are harder to be recognized by their teacherB．are given more attention in classC．are more likely to be ignored in classD．have a closer relation with their teacher3．What makes it possible for children to have a wide variety of afterschool activities? A．Teachers.B．Excellent facilities.C．Small class sizes.D．Administration.4．What is the meaning of the underlined word “implement” in Paragraph 5?A．Hold up.B．Carry out.C．Give away.D．Turn down.5．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Advantages and disadvantages of private schools.B．Characteristics of private schools.C．Parents’ concern of private schools.D．Advantages of private schools.语篇解读父母在选择私立学校之前总要权衡私立学校的优缺点，本文列举了私立学校的一些优势。

阅读理解My daughter has been in karate <空手道> since the first grade,and has been in high honor and gifted classes her whole life.She is always a joy,and at 15,though people tell me we should be fighting and she should be hanging out at malls and chasing boys,she is none of that.My 11－year－old son,Tom,for years would fight with me over everything.If I said the sky was blue,he would say it was black.For years he was failing several subjects.We took games away and then TV; we tried a reward program,but nothing worked long.He would bring a grade up to get his stuff <物品> back,and then go back to where he had been.My daughter told me one day to bring him to her karate class,and maybe life in the martial arts <武术> would help him turn around.At first he didn't like it because he had to ask permission to do anything,and he had to say "yes,sir" and "no,sir" for everything.He even had to respect hissister,because she was of a high rank.So he wanted to stop.However,my husband told our son,"If I can do this at 40 something years old,so can you."And then I would take my whole family three or four times a week to learn martial arts.My son learned so much about a better way of living：respecting others,following the rules,and above all respecting himself.I am proud to say both of my kids are now high honor students,and we could not be closer than we are.There is always an answer to your problem.If you do your research or just ask another person,or even a kid for help,you will find it.And when it es to our kids,the right answer is always worth finding.[解题导语]作者通过自己的经历告诉父母们,在教育孩子的过程中遇到困难不要放弃,只要努力总会找到解决问题的办法。

2015天津市高考英语阅读、完形填空（四月）冲刺自练（9）答案阅读理解It is probably the strangest sport anyone has ever invented. And at first sight, it looks like the easiest. Competitors have to do two things. The first is to stand still.The second is to place their hands anywhere on the body of a car,and keep it there.This is where things start getting difficult. Lots of people are doingthe same thing. And the winner of the“handathon”contest is theperson who can carry on doing it for the longest time. That persongets to own the car.It still seems to be an easy thing to do. At the beginning it is.Anyone can stand still. But when the contest has been going for four or five days, standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world. And keeping the hand in place over this time becomes an act of serious attention. After a few days, the hand seems to belong to someone else—someone who wants to go home and get some sleep.Competitors are allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat, drink or do whatever else is necessary. No one is allowed to lean on the car for support. Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention. They also need to be able to develop special skills.Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter. Entrants in the Longview handathon certainly don’t seem to do much preparation. Most say they will prepare by“getting lots of sleep”. Others say they will“eat healthy food”or“pray for success”. The whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end.Handathons are competitions, but there is little rivalry(敌对)between competitors. They help each other out and keep each other’s spirits up. People who drop out early return with food, drink and encouragement.【文章大意】双手放在车身任何部位, 静立不动, 你能坚持多久? 本文介绍了一项看似简单, 实则类似于马拉松的运动形式“handathon”。

阅读理解Eleven－year－old twins Luke and Ryan Novolsel of Wilmette，Illinois，had a goal. The fifth－graders wanted to set a Guinness world record.Ryan Novolsel and his twin brother Luke hope that Guinness World Records will recognize their school for having the most sets of twins in a single grade. Some of their friends had already tried to jump on a pogo stick longer than anyone else. One even attempted to produce the loudest burp(打嗝). But none of them came close. Then Luke and Ryan realized that there were lots of other twins in their grade at Highcrest Middle School. They did a full count，and were amazed to discover 24 sets of twins in all.“We were absolutely shocked，”Luke and Ryan's mother，Nancy Fendley，told the Associated Press. The boys figured they now had their Guinness record：most pairs of twins in one grade. The current record is 16 pairs，and is shared by Valley Southwoods Freshman High School in Iowa，Staples High School in Connecticut，and Maine South High School in Illinois.Earlier this year，Luke and Ryan—with help from their parents—sent an application to Guinness. They added birth certificates，photos，and proof that all of the sets of twins attend Highcrest Middle School. They expected to hear back in several weeks on whether they actually set a new world record.Since 1980，twin birth rates have more than doubled in the United States，according to the Centers for Disease Control(CDC). The age of mothers has gone up over the years，and women in their 30s are more likely to give birth to twins. In 2009，one in every 30 infants was born a twin，compared with one in 53 infants in 1980.For Highcrest Middle School，the rise in twin births could be a ticket into the record books. Dave Palzet，the school's principal，said he is proud of his students' effort.“I think it is wonderful that they have taken it on themselves to research and work with the world record officials to obtain this great honor for Highcrest Middle School，”he said.【解题导语】Luke和Ryan发现他们学校有二十四对双胞胎，他们向吉尼斯世界纪录提交了申请，希望创造一项一所学校单年级双胞胎最多的世界纪录。

2015天津市高考英语阅读、完形填空（四月）冲刺自练（2）答案阅读理解Bill Javis took over our village’s news-agency at a time of life when most of us only wanted to relax. He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news-agency was ready-made. The business produced little enough for him, but Bill was a man who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been a long-serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock.Every day he opened his shop at 6:00 a. m. to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his doorstep before that. Many of Bill’s customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station. Business was tailing off by 10 o’clock, so at eleven sharp Bill closed for lunch. It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the afternoon, for most likely Bill would be down on the river bank, fishing, and his neatest competitor was five kilometers away. Sometimes in the afternoon-, the evening paper landed on the doorway, and at 4 o’ c lock Bill reopened his shop. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile.He lived in a flat above the ship, alone. Except in the very bad weather, you always knew where to find him in the afternoon, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was aston-ished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line in the, water. He had no luck, I could, see, but he was making no effort to move.“What’s wrong, Bill?” I called out from the path.For answer, he put a hand in his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be, and then it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire engine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and called back, "Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right. "I had never known anyone carrying a brass alarm clock round with him before.5. Bill Javis became a news-agent when ________.A. he need the money.B. he decided to take things easyC. he was quite an old manD. he gave up clock-repairing6. Bill opened the shop so early in the day because ________.A. he liked to do as much as possible before he went to workB. the shop had to be open when the morning papers cameC. he was never sure of timeD. it was then that he did a lot of business7. On that sunny afternoon, the writer was surprised when he saw Bill because ________.A. he thought it was late for Bill to be still fishingB. he thought Bill was ill, since he was not moving at allC. Bill had not caught anything, and that seemed strangeD. Bill stayed in his flat8. From the information given in the passage, who or what do you think was wrong?A. The bell was; it must have gone off at the wrong time.B. Bill was; he had dropped off to sleep.C. The writer’s watch was fast.D. Bill’s clock was wrong; it was old.5. C 推断题。

定额市鞍钢阳光实验学校贵阳市2015高考英语（四月）阅读理解、完形填空课外练（4）答案阅读理解【2014·高三年级模拟考试】Many people think of the brain as a mystery.They don’t know much about intelligence and how it works.When they do think about what intelligence is，many people believe that a person is born smart，average，or dumb—and stays that way in the whole life.But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle—it changes and gets stronger when you use it.And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn.Everyone knows that when you lift weights，your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.A person who can’t lift 20 pounds when he/she starts exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time.That’s because the muscle s become larger and stronger with exercise.And when you stop exercising，the muscles shrink and you get weaker.That’s why people say “Use it or lose it！”But most people don’t know that when they practice and learn new things，parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise.Inside the cortex (皮层) of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells，called neurons.The nerve cells have branches connecting them to other cells in a complicated munication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems.When you learn new things，these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger.The more you challenge your mind to learn，the more your brain cells grow.Then，things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do—like speaking a foreign language or doing algebra (代数)—seem to become easy after learning them for a period of time.The result is a stronger，smarter brain.Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals’ brains.They found out that animals that lived in a challenging environment were more “perspicacious”—they were better at solving problems and learning new things.1. According to the first paragraph，________.A．the function of our brain is like that of the muscleB．until now it’s impossible to explain the brain’s mystery C．many people believe one’s intelligence is naturally determined D．one’s brain grows stronger as the age increases2．Training muscles is compared to________.A．using the brainB．connecting things in your brainC．lifting weightsD．doing research about the brain3．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The complex structure of the brain.B．How changes in the muscles affect the brain.C．The importance of the brain.D．How the brain becomes stronger by learning new things.4．What does the underlined word “perspicacious” in the last paragraph probably mean?A．Strong. B．Smart.C．Popular. D．Active.5．The following paragraph will most probably talk about________. A．the differences between animals’ brains and humans’ brains B．the relation between human brains and musclesC．scientists’ findings about animals’ brainsD．how to make your brain smarter through self­development语篇解读科学研究发现，经常学习能促进大脑的发育，正如经常锻炼能使肌肉更强健一样。

As the thrills of the London 2012 Olympic Games fade, the focusnow is on the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil. Over the next two yearsit hosted the FIFA Confederation Cup in June 2013 and will host theFIFA World Cup in 2014. Brazil has taken steps to increase theeconomic profits by safeguarding the interests of broadcasters andfunders.In 2009, the Brazil passed the Brazilian Olympic Act and theso-called World Cup Law in 2012, which are designed to fightambush(隐性)marketing and digital piracy(盗版), and regulateadvertising in and around official sporting si tes.The Brazilian World Cup Law goes much further in protecting theinterests of right owners than Brazil’s pre-existing legislation(立法)inthis area, the so-called Pele Law. For example, the World Cup Law bans anyone but the official broadcaster from using images of events. However, it does permit use for non-commercial purposes. It also requires that FIFA or its local broadcaster provide highlights up to two hours after each match. Other items allow protection of trademarks associated with the event and ban unauthorized association with the event’s marks.The Pele Law permits, as an information right, both access to sporting sites and the use of images for journalistic purposes. It is, however, unlikely that such an understanding will be gained in relation to the World Cup Law which governs access to and use of images specifically in relation to the FIFA World Cup 2014. Although the Brazilian Olympic Act regulates the IP(知识产权)relating to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, it remains silent on broadcasting rights.Whatever the benefits, it seems clear that IP rights in general, and broadcasting rights in particular, will continue to play a key role in bringing in funds. If past experience is anything to go by, Rio 2016 not only promises new sporting achievements, but also the breaking of new records in terms of profits produced from the sale of broadcasting and other media rights.【文章大意】文章主要介绍了巴西保护知识产权的World Cup Law和Pele Law。

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校南宁市2015高考英语四月完形填空、阅读理解课外练习（13）答案阅读理解【2013·江西临川一中压轴考试】Since we are social beings，the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships.One strength of the human conditions is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful (有压力的) conditions.Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties.Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems.People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties.Studies over types of illnesses，from depression to heart disease，show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness，and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely. Social support cushions stress in a number of ways.First，friends，relatives and co­workers may let us know that they value us.Ourself­respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by other s in spite of our faults and difficulties.Second，other people often provide us with informational support.They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them.Third，we typically find social companionship supportive.Taking part in f ree­time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting (转移注意力) us from our worries and troubles.Finally，other people may give us instrumental support—money aid，material resources，and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.1．Interpersonal relationships are important because they can________.

(原创)“Did you come alone or with your parents? ”When Tsinghua University’s new 2013 freshmen arrived on campus late last month, the first question they were faced with at the registration desk was the above. According to statistics, we know that more than half of the 539 students came alone. Chen Jining, president of Tsinghua University, encouraged them to “start this new adventure by standing on your own two feet”.To help freshmen grow up, some universities have thought of new methods. At Tsinghua, for example, freshmen need to register and find their dormitory by themselves. The process requires two to three hours, during which volunteers take parents on a tour of the campus. At Zhejiang University, a banner hanging i n the information center says“Parents let go please; let us guide your children. ”“Often parents like to do things or make decisions for their children. In their eyes, children never grow up, ”said Lu Guodong, dean(系主任)of undergraduate studies at Zhejiang University. “But at university, growing up is the goal for all students. Growing up is the biggest success. In China, students grow up too slowly as parents are always in charge. Students never think about what path they should take and why, ”he said.Zhang Yanxue, a senior student studying Chinese language and literature at the Communication University of China, is president of the Self-improvement Society. Although most students can finish the registration process by themselves, their parents usually prefer accompanying them to the university. “This is the third time I’ve welcomed freshmen and I didn’t see much change in that regard, ”Zhang said. “The number of students who came alone is the same as in previous years. ”Sometimes, however, the distance between university and home is so great that many parents are too worried to let their children travel alone. To reassure parents, Renmin University of China introduced a new method. It asks senior students to return to their hometown and accompany freshmen back to the campus. This helps freshmen get used to living independently.“Students should have an independent character and a dream. Learning how to use that independent character to achieve their dreams and finish tasks assigned by the country is very i mportant, ”said Tsinghua University President Chen.【文章大意】9月第一周, 各大高校已陆续进入开学季。
