(湖南专用)(新课标)2014高考英语二轮复习方案 专题限时集训17 人物型阅读理解

高考英语总复习计划表经典高三励志故事：那年高考，疯狂3000小时高考至今，年岁渐长，那峥嵘岁月依旧不忘。

我所就读的中学是云南省最好的中学之一，昆明市第一中学，她有逾百年的历史，我的高考故事从这里开始。

高考对我来说确实是一件难事，由于高中一二年级参与各种各样的学生工作、社会活动，我的成绩一直萎靡不振，这个状态一直伴随我到了高三上学期，每天机械的复习和毫无动静的各科分数让我迷失和彷徨——我不得不承认，我差太多了！说实话，我甚至想过随便考个一本，有个大学上就罢了。

当然，一切从那次突然的自我觉醒发生了改变。

高三我们开始有各种评优和保送的机会，就我在学校各种活动中的表现，我当时自认为完全有竞争力，结果保送北大，以及省优秀学生干部（高考加分15分）的“好事”都和我完全绝缘，老师给我的理由是：你的学习不够优秀。

这样的评价突然让我意识到，衡量高中生的核心价值观就只有一个：你考了多少分。

于是我的奋发之路开始了。

一、规律生活，规律学习。

下定决心在余下的不到10个月里只为高考磨一剑之后，我前所未有地感觉到时间对我来说如此珍贵。

然而因为时间对于每个人来说总有终点，所以它总是不够的。

想到这我便坦然了，我没有给自己订立一定要考某某大学的终极目标，只暗暗发誓要有规律地用好还剩下的3000多个小时，于是我开始制定各种长期中期短期的学习计划。

学习计划表有了这些计划而不去执行，它们没有任何价值，执行力就靠两个字，世界上最难的两个字：坚持。

下面给出坚持的方法论。

其一，明其志。

最好给自己一个开始执行新计划的标志。

我的做法很极端：剃了光头。

凉凉的亮亮的脑袋提醒我从头做起，像是一种宣誓。

大家大可不必像我这般，但是必须告诉自己，从今天开始我和从前不一样。

其二，自我鼓励。

我总对自己说你连这个表都填不好你还能做什么？这种反激励对我很有效，大家可以自寻其法自我鼓励。

其三，自我惩罚。

当我们没按时完成计划时，我们必须给自己必要的惩罚，否则计划表立即失效。

Nowadays, college students use mobile phone not only for its convenience but also for its fashion and popularity。

Besides，using mobile phone affect the normal teaching order to some extent. In class, sometimes we hear the phone to ring here and there，and some of the students sent short messages now and then。

As the result，we can’t concentrate our work.People have different opinion about it. I think it's good to use mobile phone, but college students shouldn't use them in class. Finally，I hope you can pay attention to the phenomenon。

But it is stillwidely practiced, with the groom’s family demanding even more money after marriage, leading to mental and physical annoyance that can drive the woman to suicide.“The Angry Brides game is our way of throwing a spotl ight on the nuisance(陋习)of dowry. ”said Ram Bhamidi, senior vice president and head of online marketing for Shaadi. com, a matrimonial(婚姻的)website with two million members.“According to a 2007 study, there is a dowry-related death every four hours in India, we condemn this and have consistently run campaigns on social media to help create awareness of the issue”.The name of the app, available on the group’s home page, is a spinoff from the globally popular“Angry Birds”game. Its home page shows a red-clad, eight-armed woman resembling a powerful female Hindu goddess. Underneath, there is a caption: “A woman will give you strength, care and all the love you need. . . NOT dowry! ”To play the game, users have to try and hit three dodging grooms—a pilot, a builder and a doctor. There are a variety of weapons to choose from, including a frying pan, broomstick, tomato and loafer.Each groom has a price tag, starting at 1. 5 million rupees($29, 165). Every time the player hits a groom, his value decreases and money is added to the player’s Anti-Dowry Fund, which is saved posted on their Facebook page.“Since we launched the game last week, more than 270, 000 people have liked the app. Both men and women seem to be playing it”, said Bhamidi.41.

Louis have identified a gene that is required for proper development of the mouse ear, providing clues to deafness.In humans, this gene is known as FGF20. “When we inactivated(阻止活动)FGF20, we saw they were alive and healthy, ”says senior author David M. Ornitz, Professor of Developmental Biology. “But then we figured out that they had absolutely no ability to hear. ”The results show that disabling the gene causes a loss of outer hair cell, a special type of sensory cell in the ear responsible for amplifying(扩大)sound. While about two-thirds of the outer hair cells were missing in mice without FGF20, the number of inner hair cells, the cells responsible for transmitting the amplified signals to the brain, appeared normal.“This is the first evidence that inner and outer hair cells develop independen tly of one another, ”says first author Sung-Ho, PhD, research associate. “This is important because most age-related deafness and hearing loss caused by noise are due to the loss of outer hair cells. ”As such, Ornitz and Huh believe that FGF20 signaling will be a required step toward the goal of regenerating outer hair cells in mammals, incapable of hearing restoration.The FGF20 gene stands for one member of a family of proteins known as fibroblast(纤维组织母细胞)growth factors. In general, members of this family are known to play important and broad roles in embryonic(胚胎的)development, tissue maintenance and wound healing.Ornitz and his colleagues found that FGF20 signaling must occur on or before the 14th day of the embryo’s development to produce a normal inner ear. Even if FGF20 signaling occurred on the 15th day or later, the inner ear still did not develop properly. “In mice, the cells that can become outer hair cells must be exposed to the FGF20 protein at an early stage, ”Ornitz says. “After embryonic day 14, it doesn’t matter if they see the protein. It’s too late for them to become outer hair cells. ”46. After FGF20 was inactivated in mice, they.A. were not able to walk any moreB. didn’t appear abnormal immediatelyC. died without any symptoms soonD. saw an increase of outer hair cells47. According to the study, inner hair cells.A. are not affected by the absence of FGF20B. are responsible for regenerating soundC. will be missing if there isn’t FGF20D. have only been found in mice so far48. The underlined word“regenerating”in Para. 5 can be replaced by“”.A. reducingB. fightingC. preventingD. reproducing49. What can we learn from the passage?A. Mammals are capable of restoring hearing themselves.B. Age-related deafness may be cured with FGF20 signaling.C. Most deafness among people is caused by the loss of inner hair cells.D. To generate outer hair cells, cells must meet the FGF20 protein on day14.50. What is the passage mainly about?A. Why people become deaf.B. How to cure deafness.C. A new discovery about the gene FGF20.D. How the ear works.PartⅢWriting(45 marks)Section A(10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Renewable energy is natural energy that can be used repeatedly and will never run out.Renewable energy comes from natural processes. Renewable energy has various forms. It can come directly from the sun, the ocean, or heat deep within the earth.Renewable energy is also known as green or clean energy, because the process of complete change does not cause the emission(排放)of greenhouse gas, which is harmful to the environment.Renewable energy sources include solar energy, wind energy, geothermal(地热的)energy(from the inside of the earth), ocean energy, hydropower(水力发电), natural gas, tide power, wave power and so on.Renewable energy can be used without using it up. There is no greenhouse gas emission, no pollution emission—no contribution to global warming. It is healthy and environmentally friendly.All forms of renewable energy are expensive. This is because it is a new technology and has extremely large capital cost. But as time goes on and technologies develop, renewable energy generally gets cheaper, while mineral fuels generally get more expensive.Renewable energy can be used for power generation, hot water, space heating, transport fuels and so on. But it is difficult to generate the quantities of electricity that are as large as those produced traditionally. Soif we use renewable energy, we will need to build more energy facilities. The best solution is to have a balance of many different power sources.Renewable energy often relies on the weather for its source of power. Hydro generators need rain to fill dams to supply flowing water and solar collectors need sunshine to collect heat and make electricity. This can be unpredictable.Section B(10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.How we look and how we appear to others probably worry us more when we are in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life. Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion.Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment.Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress. A barber today does not cut a boy’s hair in the same way as their fathers and grandfathers used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did. The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull.What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion. Take hats for example—In cold climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside. In recent times, the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats: more American men followed his example.There is also a cyclical pattern in fashion. In the 1920s in Europe and America, short skirts became fashionable. After World WarⅡ, they dropped to ankle length. Then they got shorter and shorter and the miniskirt was in fashion. After a few more years, skirts became longer again.Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion. The popularity of jeans and the“untidy”look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion houses.61.

Why does the writer take President Kennedy as an example? (No more than 14 words)(3 marks)____________________________________________________________ ________63.

考纲解读高中英语教学大纲明确规定“侧重提高阅读能力”，这为我们的备考指明了方向。

分析近几年的高考英语试题，我们不难看出，阅读理解是高考试题中难度最大，区分度最高的题型，自始至终占据着主导地位。

阅读理解能力属于语言的领会技能，它不仅考查对语篇的整体把握能力，而且考查快速捕捉信息、准确理解特定细节以及复杂句子的能力。

不仅要准确理解文章表层的意思，还要通过表层去推理、判断。

考点1主旨大意之精确归纳标题真题解密Harvard researchers have created a tough，low-cost，biodegradable(可生物降解的) material inspired by insects’ hard outer shells.The material’s inventors say it has a number of possible uses and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic.The material，made from shrimp(虾) shells and proteins produced from silk，is called “shrilk”．It isthin，clear，flexible and strong.A major benefit of the material is its biodegradability.Plastic’s toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and ’60s.Decades later，however，plastic’s very durability(耐用性) is raising questions about how appropriate it is for one-time products such as plastic bags，or short-lived consumer goods，used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries.What is the point of making something that lasts 1,000 years?Shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill，but its basic components are used as fertilizer(肥料)，and so will enrich the soil.Shrilk has great potential，the inventors said.Materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature，found in everything ranging from shrimp shells，insect bodies to living plants.That makes shrilk low cost，and its mass production possible should it be used for products demanding a lot of material.Work on shrilk is continuing in the lab.The inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet，so they’re exploring ways to use it in wet environments.They’re also developing simpler production processes，which could be used for non-medical products，like for computer cases and other products inside the home.They’re even exploring combining it with other materials，like carbon fibers，to give it new properties.
