It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers(生产商) follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征) of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men's clothes tend to button from the right, and women's from the left. Considering most of the world's population----men and women----are right-handed, the men's standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women's clothes button from the left? History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women's shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having men's shirts button from the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt. Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time when all women's shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women's shirts that buttoned from the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men's shirts.( ) 1. What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?A. It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.B. It is different for men's clothing and women's.C. It woks better with men than with women.D. It fails to consider right-handed people.( ) 2. What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century?A. They tended to wear clothes without buttons.B. They were interested in the historical matters.C. They were mostly dressed by servants.D. They drew their swords from the left.( ) 3. Women's clothes still button from the left today because.A. adopting men's style is improper for womenB. manufacturers should follow standardsC. modern women dress themselvesD. customs are hard to change( ) 4. The passage is mainly developed by.A. analyzing causesB. making comparisonsC. examining differencesD. following the time order【语篇解读语篇解读】本文由男女衣服的不同,分析产生这种不同的原因,并且告诉我们这种不同为语篇解读什么延续到现在.1. 答案 B 【解析】细节理解题.

(You are known by the company you keep.)65. _____Do not attempt too much at once.A. A dog used to run up quietly to the heels of everyone he met, and to bite them without notice. His master put a bell about his neck so that the dog might give notice of his presence wherever he went. Thinking it a mark of distinction, the dog grew proud of his bell and went tinkling it all over the market-place. One day an old dog said to him, “Why do you make such an exhibition of yourself? That bell that you carry is not, believe me, any order of merit, but on the contrary a public notice to all men to avoid you as a bad-mannered dog.〞B. A man once stood up at a market-place in the east and said, “I have been ordered by the king to collect all the well-born and well-bred and bring them before him, since he wishes to reward them.〞 Everybody that heard him joined him, and he went towards the palace, surrounded by the whole town. Then he suddenly turned round and said, “The king has just sent me word that he means to help only those that have been ill-born and ill-bred to make up for their misfortunes.〞 The crowd lingered behind for a while, and then one after another joined the man as ill-born and ill-bred to receive the king’s gifts. The man said, “The world goes as the wind blows!〞C. A lion was awakened by a mous e running over his face. Rising up angrily, the lion cau ght the mouse and was about to kill him, when the mouse begged, “If you wouldonly spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness.〞 The lion laughed at the idea of the mouse being able to repay a favor, but let him go in the end. Later, the lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him with strong ropes to the ground. The mouse, recognizing the lion’s roar, came and gnawed the rope with his teeth and set him free.D. A fox had long been the dread of the village poultry yard. One day, he was found lying breathless in a field. The report went abroad that, after all, he had been caught and killed by someone. In a moment, everybody in the village came out to see the dead fox. The village cock, with all his hens and chicks, was also there, to enjoy the sight. The fox then got up and said, “I ate a number of hens and chicks last night. So I must have slept longer than usual.〞 The cock counted his hens and chicks, and found several chicks we re missing. “Alas!〞said he, “how is it that I do not know of it?〞“My dear sir,〞said the fox, as he ran back to the wood, “it was last night that I had a good meal of your hens and chicks, yet you did not know of it.A moment ago they found me lying in the field, and you knew of it at once.〞E. A boy put his hand into a pitcher (大罐) full of nuts. He grasped as many as he could possibly hold, but when he tried to pull out his hand, he was prevented from doing so by the neck of the pitcher. Unwilling to lose his nuts, and yet unable to withdraw his hand, he burst into tears, crying with disappointment. A person who was passing by said to him, “Be satisfied with half the quantity and you will draw out your hand at once.〞F. A man wished to purchase an ass (a donkey), and decided to give the animal a test befor e buying him. He took the ass home and put him in the field with his other asses. The new ass moved away from the others to join the one that was the laziest and the biggest eater of them all. Seeing this, the man led him back to his owner. When the owner asked how he could have tested the ass in such a short time, the man answered, “I didn’t even need to see how he worked. I knew he would be just like the one he chose to be his friend.〞参考答案61—65 DBCFE*************************************************************结束第二节:任务型阅读 (原创，文章改编自中国日报)下面文章中有5处〔第61~65题〕需要添加小标题。

Many people think a telephone is essential. But I think it is a pest and a time waster. Very often you find it impossible to escape from some idle or curious chatter-box, or from somebody who wants something for nothing. If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going out, or when you are taking your bath. Are you strong minded enough to ignore it, to say to yourself,“Ah, well, it will all be the same in a hundred years’ time” You are not. You think there may be some important news or messages for you. I can a ssure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Have you never rushed dripping from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number?But you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls. Besides, you will say, isn’t it important to have a telephone in case of emergency—illness, an accident, or fire? Of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like England one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity.I think perhaps I had better try to justify myself by trying to prove that wh at I like is good. I admit that in different circumstances—if I were a tycoon(business VIP),for instance, or bed ridden I might find a telephone essential. But then if I were a taxi-driver I should find a car essential.Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to show particular talent; one is mechanical invention, the other is literature. My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them. For I have just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. I think I had better answer it. After all, one never knows, it may be something important.1.The passage is mainly discussing _______.A. that we should be strong enough to ignore a phone callB. that important message will reach you sooner or laterC. whether it’s necessary t o answer all phone callsD. whether it is necessary to have a telephone提示:通读全文，尤其是文章的第一段和最后一段可以得出此结论。

In the fall of 1985. I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 81. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives. In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember；little steps add up to big dreams.( ) 1. When the author went to Howard University, her dream was tobeA. a writerB. a teacherC. a judgeD. a doctor( ) 2. Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?A. She wanted to study by herself.B. She fell in love and got married.C. She suffered from a serious illness.D. She decided to look after her grandma.( ) 3. What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?A.She was busy yet happy with her family life.B.She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.C.She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.D.She was too confused to make a correct choice.( ) 4.

With the advancement of technology, sm all computers have come onto the market, which are capable of doing the work that used to be done by much larger and ex pensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them.The main development in small computers has been in the fiel d of word processors (处理器) , or WPS as they are often called. 40% of British offices ar e now estimated to have a word processor and this percentag e is growing fast.There are many advantages in using a word processor for bot h secretary and manager.

From a manage r’s point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of a nd money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outs ide office hours.But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units (显示器). The case of a slow loss of sight among people using wor d processors seems to have risen greatly. It is also feared tha t if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child i n her body might be killed. Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in bother to buy them .Whatever the arguments for and against word processor are, they are a key feature (特征) of this revolution in office practice.1.

But everything has changed, that is, the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were． Above all, a great deal of waste hardly rots away.______62．More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the importance of a safer and cleaner environment, which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up.______63．Organic products are getting more and more popular among people, but we should know the fact that organic products might also have something to do with pesticides.______64．I`m very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small gar den, for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread pesticides.______65．Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked.A．"Organic produce is always better, "Gold said．"The food is free of pesticides(农药) ,and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms．And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is tastier." Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business. B．Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences - but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete．For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products．And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand．"The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing marke t, "said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.C．Many cities aroun d the world today are heavily polluted．Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem．One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid o f.D．However, today, more and more consumers are choosing "green" and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment．Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: "Will this shampoo damage the environment?" "Can thismetal container be reused or can it only be used once?"E．Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds．Some supermarket products carry labels(标签) to show that the product is green．Some companies have made the manufacturing(制造) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising. F．The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business．No longer will the public accept the old attitude of "Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it." The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.参考答案六选五:61-65: CFBAE********************************************结束第二节：下面文章中有5处〔第61~65题〕需要添加小标题。

Sitting on the peaceful coast of Galapagos Islands. Ecuador, watching the sun move quietly into the sea, you shouldn't forget that Charles Darwin (1809-1882) arrived here in 1835. He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. This finally inspired (启发) his famous work, On the Origin of Species. You can certainly follow Darwin's footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands. The islands are certainly a paradise (天堂) for wildlife, as there are n o natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control. Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago, each day is as impressive as it could be. The most well-known animal of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise(巨型海龟), which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Sanra Cruz, the second largest island in the archipelago(群岛). Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself. Despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures: diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; a nd, most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air. Travelling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin, you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world. At night you will sleep on board the ship, leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time. ( ) 1. What do we know about Dar win's visit to the islands?A. H e studied different creatures on the islandsB. He completed his famous book on the islandsC. He was touched by the geography of the islandsD. He was attracted by well-known animals of the islands( ) 2. Which of the following plays a role in making the islands "a paradise for wildlife"?A. Animals on the islands feed on grass.B. Local government forbids killing wildlife.C. People cannot visit the islands as they wish.D. Tourists are not allowed to touch the animals.( ) 3. Your stay on the islands will be most impressive mainly because of_________.A. The beautiful sea viewsB. Darwin's inspiring tripC. a closer view of animalsD. various daring activities( ) 4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. A Unique Attraction for Wildlife LoversB. Calapagos as a Paradise for AdventuresC. Charles Darwin as a Symbol of GalapagosD. A Successful Example of Wildlife Protection【语篇解读语篇解读】本文介绍了一个冒险家的乐园 Galapagos Islands,达尔文曾在这儿受到启发写语篇解读出了《物种起源》一书,同时,由于这儿保护得很好,直到现在依然是旅游的好去处.1. 答案 A 【解析】细节理解题.由文中的 He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals.可知达尔文在这儿观察了各种各样的动物.2. 答案 C 【解析】细节理解题.根据文中...strict control over activities and timing...可知,当地对游客的活动和参观时间都是有严格限制的,所以答案选 C 项.3. 答案 C 【解析】细节理解题.根据 your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered asa chain of incomparable pictures: diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; and, most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air.可知,在 Galapagos 岛上能与动物亲密接触.4. 答案 A 【解析】主旨大意题.这篇文章主要是向我们推荐 Galapagos Islands,因此题目要具有醒目的特点,方能达到吸引读者眼球的目的,故题目以 A 为佳.【浙江省金丽衢十二校2014高考英语第二次联考】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，并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑。

“Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity，” said the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. I’ve never watched her show, but when a self－made billionaire gives life advice, it’s probably worth listening to.Her point is that blind luck is very rare. You may have to be lucky to find a good job these days but that does not mean you should sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you. If you’re a Chinese，you may already be familiar with the tale of a farmer waiting by a tree stump (树桩) for a rabbit to run out and break its neck.A book written by the UK psychologist Richard Wiseman, called The Luck Factor, argues we can all make ourselves luckier. It’s not about going to a temple to burn some inc ense (香) in hopes that the gods will give you good fortune；it’s practical advice you can follow each day.Wiseman conducted an experiment as part of his studies. First he separated volunteers into two groups：those who said they were lucky in life and those who said they were not. He gave everyone a newspaper and asked them to look through it to count how many photographs it had inside. On average, the unlucky people took about two minutes to count the photographs while the lucky people took just seconds. Why? On the second page of the newspaper, a command, “Stop counting. There are 43 photographs in this newspaper，” was written in big letters. The unlucky people mostly did not spot the message.It’s eas y to compare this situation to a young person looking for jobs in a local paper. They might search so hard for one type of position that they miss an even better opportunity. People who are “lucky”，in fact, keep an open mind and don’t go through the same routine every day.I first came to China in 2002 when it was considered a rather strange thing to do. Like many foreigners，my plan was to teach English for one year. Seven years later, and still here, I’ve had many great opportunities such as writing for newspapers and magazines. I did not dream these would have been possible. I’ve also never been sick, had an accident, got into a fight or had problems with the police. Coincidence? After reading about Professor Wiseman’s studies I think not.As Wiseman advises, I usually trust my own judgment. Your friends and parents may give you advice based on rational thinking, but it’s important to consider how you feel about each choice you make. Your feeling acts as a warning for a potential problem.Finally, try to turn bad luck into good.Even if you do fall down and break a leg, the time spent at home can be used wisely to study English.1. Which of the follow ing proverbs most agrees with the writer’s point?A．Make the best of a bad job.B．Rome was not built in a day.C．All that glitters is not gold.D．A good heart conquers ill fortune.2. What do you know about Oprah Winfrey?A．She became famous through her family background.B．She was very lucky and seldom suffered setbacks in her life.C．She is a British talk show host.D．She became successful by her own effort.3. The writer quoted the Chinese tale of a farmer in order to show________.A. luck is in your own handB．bad luck can turn into goodC．you should not sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to youD．man can conquer nature4. The underlined wo rd “spot” is the closest in meaning to“________”.A．recognize B．markC．locate D．receive[解题导语]本文为议论文。

Since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated（展示）a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person’s thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“our brain has bi llions of nerve ceils. These send signals through the spinal cord （脊髓）to the muscles to give us the ability to move. B ut spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized whee lchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “The practical possibili ties that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.”He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit front. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.1.BCI is a technology that canA. help to update computer systemsB. link the human brain with computersC. help the disabled to recoverD. control a person's thoughts2. How" did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?A. By controlling his muscles.B. By talking to the machine.C. By moving his hand.D. By using his mind.3. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A. scalp → computer →cap →wheelchairB. computer →cap →scalp →wheelchairC. scalp →cap →computer →wheelchairD. cap → compute →scalp →wheelchair4. The team will test with real patients toA. make profits from themB. prove the technology useful to themC. make them live longerD. learn about their physical condition5. Which of the followin g would be the best title for the text?A. Switzerland, the BCI Research CenterB. New Findings About How the Human Brain WorksC. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the DisabledD. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries【文章大意】科普说明文。

When I decided to quit my job as a wedding photographer, I was in my late twenties, fresh from my divorce from Bob who had left me empty and confused. I decided to leave the US and travel. I had no savings, plus more than $5,000 in debt. What I did have were two sponsored tasks as a travel photographer- and with that along, I thought, it would be easy.My first experience was a road trip from Toronto to Las Vegas, paid for by a car delivery service. Other trips followed and then I started a travel blog (博客). It was intended to be my calling card for assignment travel photography. Yet even with my blog and past experience, email after email I sent to publications, trying to get work, went unanswered. When they did get in touch, editors told me that I had no chance of making a career with travel photography. While I struggled to get on the path that I wanted, and as I expanded my blog to help get me there, I found myself wearing the hat of a full-time blogger.Luckily, I got in at the right time. It was 2010，and the travel industry was just starting to turn its attention to bloggers. As I never could have predicted, my blogging-not my photography-did take me around the world successfully. At first，I thought it was for personal reasons, but I realized later that it was for free marketing for my blogging.Within two years, I was being asked to speak at travel blogging conferences, which helped me to raise a network of friends around the world. Even more meaningful, however, was when I saw that my travels were also helping other people. My blog and social media followers saw that I chased my dreams and told me over and over again how they needed that kind of example, which was absent in their lives elsewhere.51 After the author quit her job, she decided to ______.A. divorce her husbandB. be a wedding photographerC. pay off all her debtD. go travelling abroad2. What can we learn about the author from the 2nd paragraph?A. She paid money to a car delivery agency for a road trip.B. She realised his dream of becoming a travel photographer.C. She got a job as an editor in a publishing house.D. She finally became a professional blogger unintentionally.3. The author believed her success mainly resulted from ______.A. her personal reasonsB. her photographing skillsC. free marketing for bloggingD. booming of travel industry4. What did the author think of her two years' work?A. Inspiring.B. Appealing.C. Interesting.D. Challenging.【参考答案】1—4、DDCA【2014高考英语湖北省汉阳市联考试题】400-year-old plants from the Little Ice Age were brought back to life, which could help us understand how the Earth will deal with climate change.Moss(藓类植物) found buried beneath the Teardrop glacier(冰川) on Ellesmere Island in Canadahas been brought back to life. Findings suggest that these plants could help repopulate regions exposed by melting ice caps. Plants that were buried beneath thick ice in Canada more than 400 years ago and were thought to have frozen to death have been brought back to life by Canadian scientists.Samples of the moss plant, covered by the glacier during the Little Ice Age of 1550 to 1850 AD, were replanted in a lab at the University of Alberta and grew new stems(茎). Researchers now think these findings can give indication as to how regions can recover as the ice covering them melts. Biologist Dr. Catherine La Farge and her team at the University of Alberta were exploring the region around the Teardrop glacier on Ellesmere Island. Ice on Ellesmere Island region has been melting at around four meters each year for the past nine years. This means that many areas of land that were previously covered by ice have since been exposed. Many ecosystems that were thought to have been destroyed during the Little Ice Age between 1550 and 1850 AD can now be studied, including many species that have never been studied before.While examining an exposed area of land, La Farge and her team discovered a small area of moss called Aulacomnium turgidum. It is a type of bryophyte(苔藓类植物) plant that mainly grows across Canada, the US and the Highlands of Scotland.Dr La Farge noticed that the moss had small patches of green stems, suggesting it is either growing again or can be encouraged to repopulate. Dr La Farge told the BBC, “When we looked at the samples in detail and brought them to the lab, I could see some of the stems actually had new growth of green branches, suggesting that these plants are growing again, and that blew my mind. When we think of thick areas of ice covering the l andscape, we’ve always thought that plants have to come from refugia(濒绝生物保护区), never considering that land plants come from underneath a glacier. It’s a whole world of what’s coming out from underneath the glacier that really needs to be studied. The ice is disappearing pretty fast. We really have not examined all the biological systems that exist in the world; we don’t know it all.”Dr La Farge took samples of the moss and, using carbon-dating techniques, discovered that the plants date back to the Little Ice Age. Dr La Farge’s team took the samples, planted them in dishes full of nutrient-rich potting soil and fed them with water.The samples were from four separate species including Aulacomnium turgidum, Distichium capillaceum, Encalypta procera and Syntrichia ruralis. The moss plants found by Dr La Farge aretypes of bryophytes. Bryophytes can survive long winters and regrow when the weather gets warmer.However, Dr La Farge was surprised that the plants buried under ice have survived into the twenty-first century. Her findings appear in proceedings（论文集）of the National Academy of Sciences.59. Dr La Farge’s research is of great importance to ________.A. knowing what the plants during the Little Ice Age were likeB. understanding how ecosystems recover from glaciers.C. regrowing many species that have been destroyed before.D. figuring out the effects of melting ice caps on moss.60. The underlined part “blew my mind” in Paragraph 6 can best be replaced by “________”.A. surprised meB. greatly frightened meC. put my doubt out of my mindD. was exactly what I had in my mind61. According to the passage, Aulacomnium turgidum ________.A. lives better in small groupsB. is very active in hot weatherC. is strong enough to survive coldnessD. is chosen from Canadian refugia62. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Bryophyte ecology is greatly affected by climate change.B. 400-year-old moss’s survival is a mystery to solve.C. Moss in ancient times was discovered in Canada.D. 400-year-old plants were brought back to life.【参考答案】59、ＢＡ61-62 ＣＤ【2014高考英语湖北省汉阳市联考试题】DToday, in many high schools, teaching is now a technical miracle of computer labs, digital cameras, DVD players and laptops. Teachers can e-mail parents, post messages for students on online bulletin(公告，告示) boards, and take attendance with a quick movement of a mouse.Even though we are now living in the digital age, the basic and most important element of education has not changed. Most students still need that one-on-one, teacher-student relationship to learn andto succeed. Teenagers need instruction in English, math or history, but they also want personal advice and encouragement. Kids talk with me about their families, their weekend plans, their favorite TV shows and their relationship problems. In my English and journalism classes, we talk about Shakespeare and persuasive(富有哲理的) essays, but we also discuss college basketball, the war in Iraq and career choices. Students show me pictures of their rebuilt cars, their family vacations, and their newborn baby brothers. This personal connection is the necessary link between teachers and students that no amount of technology can improve upon or replace.A few years ago I had a student in sophomore English who was struggling with my class and with school in general. Although he was a humorous young man who liked to joke around, I knew his family life was far from ideal. Whenever I approached him about missing homework or low test grades, he a lways had the same reply, “It doesn't matter because I'm quitting school anyway.” Even though he always said this in a half-teasing way, I knew he needed to hear my different opinion and my “value of a high school education” lecture. He needed to hear this speech from me. After he left my class, he struggled through the next two years of school. But, he did finally graduate because we kept telling him to hang in there. We’d cared about him finishing school.Recently, I saw this former student working at a local Italian restaurant. I told him again how proud I was of him. He said that he was hoping to go back to school to become a certified electrician. I encouraged him to get that training.Students rely on compassionate teachers to guide, to tutor, to listen, to laugh and to cry with them. Teachers provide the most important link in the educational process—the human one.63. The first paragraph mainly talks about _____________.A. the variety of modern teaching methods.B. the wide use of modern technology in educationC. the importance of teacher-parent relationship.D. the importance of using modern technology.64. The underlined word “ compassionate” in Para 5 means ____________.A. ambitiousB. knowledgeableC. sympatheticD. generous65. According to the text, the most important element in education is _________.A. teachers’ good instructionB. advanced technologyC. teachers’ encouragementD. personal connection66.

I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part. in. and live in.With this unshakable belief, I, at. fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own worl d. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people’s writing can one discover what works, what doesn’t and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品)．As a. law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter—the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime. ( ) 1. What can be inferred about the author as a child? A. He never watched TV.B. He read what he had to.C. He found reading unbelievable.D. He considered reading part of his life. ( ) 2. The underlined word "voice" in the second paragraph most probably means “”.A. an ideaB. a sound qualityC. a way of writingD. a world to write about( ) 3. What effect does reading have on the author?A. It helps him to realize his dream.B. It opens up a wider world for him.C. It makes his college life more interesting.D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.( ) 4. Which of the following can be the best title of this text? A. Why do I read? B.How do I read?C. What do I read?D. When do I read?语篇解读：本篇文章是记叙文。

You’ve just graduated from business school and you feel like t he world is your oyster, only to find that job offers aren’t knock ing down your door as expected, making MBAs wonder why t hey’re not getting hired. This can be disheartening, but as an MBA, you know that perception(洞察力)is more important than reality. The key to getting hired is a n employer’s perception of you. Many MBA graduates are guil ty of unconsciously displaying signs that they are not the best fit for the job. Once you discover what these common mistake s are, you can put your MBA skills to use and strategize how t o turn things in your favor and land the job you’ve been lookin g for.Employers feel more comfortable hiring MBAs with experi ence because there is less need for training. Many MBAs mist akenly apply for jobs they are obviously not qualified for or wh ich require more experience than they have, leaving them scr atching their heads at why they’re not getting interviews. Recr uiters want MBAs who can prove their ability to increase reve nues, decrease costs, and help their business succeed in so me way. Show that you can help the company by providing co ncrete examples of relevant experience.MBAs often have great resumes showing all the right qua lifications, but then blow the interview with inappropriate beha vior, such as a lack of professional appearance, poor hygiene, or even a bad attitude. It’s necessary to be on your best beha vior, dress appropriately, and not seem cocky, bored, or disint erested in the company. A little enthusiasm won’t hurt you, es pecially when it comes to a potential new job. Every business wants to put their most enthusiastic MBAs forward with import ant clients and customers, so be sure to show your passion fo r your work.Another mistake you may be making unknowingly is how you portray yourself on social media. As an MBA, you know h ow important networking is, and these days, most of it is done online. Don’t assume that employers aren’t interested in youronline profiles. Many employers now use social networking sit es and online searches to check up on potential hires. Inappr opriate photos and information, such as annoying material or i mplications of drinking and drug use are huge red flags to em ployers. Even discriminatory comments related to race, gende r, or religion will leave employers with a bad impression. Make sure to remove any photos, content, or links that can work ag ainst you in an employer’s eyes.Don’t forget that practice makes perfect when it comes to finding a great MBA job. Earning your MBA was a huge acco mplishment, but there’s always room for improvement. Ask yo ur classmates, peers, family, and even past co-workers or managers for feedback. Show multiple, trusted res ources the job posting you’re interested in, your cover letter a nd resume. Take constructive criticism on how it can be better . Do mock interviews to help relieve any tension and gain a be tter idea of how you’d like to present yourself. With a few mino r changes to your resume and the way you interact with other s, you’ll be hearing “you’re hired” in no time!【参考答案】71. mistakes 72. fail 73. applying 74. b ehave75. assumption76. better 77. ability/capacity/qualifica tions78. enthusiastic/passionate 79. impress 80. succeed阅读理解。

“Experience may possibly be the best teacher, but it is not a particularly good teacher.” You might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words, but they actually come from James March, a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in t he field of organization decision making. For years March( possibly be wisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act, and he continues to do so in his new book The Ambiguities of Experience.He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning :“Experience is respected；experience is sought；experience is explained.” The problem is that learning from experience involves（涉及）serious complications（复杂化），ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book.In one interesting part of book，for example，he turns a double eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. He says “The more accurately（精确的）reality is presented，the less understandable the story，and the more understandable the story, the less realistic it is.”Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher. March is also a poet, and his gift shines though in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. Though the book is short, it is demanding；Don’t pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons. Rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life. ( ) 1. According to the text, James March is ____________.A. a poet who uses experience in his writingB. a teacher who teachers story writing in universityC. a researcher who studies the way humans think and actD. a professor who helps organizations make important decisions( ) 2. According to James March, experience ______________.A. is overvaluedB. is easy to explainC. should be actively soughtD. should be inactively sought( ) 3. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Experience makes stories more accurate.B. Stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth.C. The use of stories is the best way of experiential learning.D. Stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described. ( ) 4.What’s the purpos e of this text?A. To introduce a book.B. To describe a researcher.C. To explain experiential learning.D. To discuss organizational decision making.【答案与解析】【要点综述】文章介绍了Jam es March所著的一本名为The Ambiguities of Experience书。

河北省唐山市丰润区2016高考英语阅读理解好信息匹配暑假自练（7）【阅读理解】Skeptics are a strange lot.Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the enviroment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them.Those people，say skeptics，spread nothing but bad news about the environment.The“eco­guilt”brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity.That book ，The Skeptical Environmentalist, declares that it measures the “real state of the world”as fine. Of course ，another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests. Indeed, Mr. Lomborg's views are similar to those of some industry­funded organizations, which start huge activities through the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming.So it was strange to see Mr. Lomborg's book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that “After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.”Such one­sided views sh ould have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborg's “preference for unexamined materials is incredible(不可信的)”．A critical (批判的)eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests. People might become half­blind before a world partially exhibited by the media. That's a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.本文讲述了怀疑论者不承认人类活动对环境造成的危胁，认为地球状况是良好的，这迎合了一些追求利益的商业公司。

It’s 5:00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the ba throom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is of my face. It’s not a smi le because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shak e heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite o f their grandmother’s chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it’s okay to just say “no.”I shouldn’t feel sorry for refusing food that I don’t want to eat.So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self –confidence and energy, extends life and above all improve my body shape.

Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources (来源), as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills (风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were fi rst introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground when electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.风能早在公元前七世纪就开始被人们用风车所利用，当人们发明了电以后，风能被用来发电，但随着电的广泛使用，风车逐渐不被人们使用了。
