高中英语真题:2014新课标II高考压轴卷第Ⅰ卷第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分）略第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节 (共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.ADoes a Tea Break Make You More Efficient?has been drinking tea since the time of Shennong, 5,000 years ago. Britain’s relationship with tea is much shorter, but tea enjo ys pride of place as the ’s national drink. According to the UK T ea Council, British people drink an average of three cups a day or a national total of 165 million cups every day.With figures like these, it is no surprise that time spent taking te a affects the working day in . A recent survey found that 24 min utes a day are lost to making, buying and drinking tea and coffe e. That is, £400 a year is lost in working hours per employee, or 190 days over a lifetime. So, should employers be worried about this lost working time, or does the tea break make up in other ways?One argument is that caffeine improves mental state: a drink of tea or coffee can make you active and focus on work. Professor Rogers of the of disagrees. After years of studying c affeine he sees nothing can prove that. “Workers would perform equally well if not drinking it at all,” he says. “But if they’re often drinking it and then go without, they’ll feel tired and won’t work well.”Psychologist Cooper instead emphasizes the role tea breaks pl ay in office life, and in building social relationships. “We need to make people more active and see other people. The tea break is one way of doing this,” says Cooper.And Professor Rogers also points out the comfort effect of a hot drink: “We warm our hands on them on a cold day; they’re com forting and play a big role in our everyday life. Whatever the caf feine’s doing, I’d say these 24 minutes aren’t wasted.”21. What is the passage mainly about?A. Tea Breaks cannot make people more active at work.B. British people drink more tea than people in other countries.C. Tea break plays an important role in people’s life in .D. A lot of time has been wasted drinking tea in the working day.22. We learn from a recent survey that in _______.A. £400 is lost in working hours for each personB. tea breaks take up 24 minutes in a working dayC. people spends 190 days drinking tea and coffee each yearD. people drink 165 million cups in working hours every day23. What’s Psychologist Coopers’ attitude towards tea break?A. Doubtful.B. Uncertain.C. Negative.D. Positive.BI suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened Looki ng down I immediately recognized that something was wrong a nd ran down to the edge of the near bank There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water and it was a life-and-death struggle Her calf was floating and screaming with fear Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water and keeping the calf pres sed against her huge body . Every now and then the rushing wa ter would sweep the calf a way.There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother’s body and was gone Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk （象鼻）against the rocky bank Then with a huge effort she picked it up i n her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow s helf of rockJust at this moment she fell back into the river If she were carrie d down it would be certain death I knew as well as she did ,that there was one spot（地点）where she could get up the bank but it was on the other side fr om where she had put her calfWhile I was wondering what I could do next I heard the sound o f a mother’s love Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could roarin g（吼叫）all the time but to her calf it was music.24．The moment the author got down to the river bank he saw_ _____.A．the calf was about to fall into the riverB．Ma Shwe was placing the calf on the rockC．the calf was washed away by the rising waterD．Ma Shwe was holding the calf against the rushing water 25．How did Ma Shwe manage to save her calf from the fast-flowing water?A．By putting it on a safe spotB．By pressing it against her bodyC．By taking it away with herD．By carrying it on her back26．How did the calf feel about the mother elephant’s roaring? A．It was a great comfort B．It was a sign of dangerC．It was a call for help D．It was a musical note 27．What can be the best title for the text?A．A Mother’s Love B．A Brave ActC．A Deadly River D．A Matter of Life and DeathCIt is possible to do many simple tricks with numbers. Here is on e trick. It has seven steps.First, write down your house number. For example, if your addr ess is , you would write down 73.Next, double(翻一倍) it. In other words, multiply(乘) it by two. Then, add five to thi s doubled number. For example, if your address was 73and you doubled it, you would get 146. Then, if you added five, you’d g et 151.So, to repeat the first three steps, write down your house number, double it, and add five.Fourth, multiply this number by 50. In our example here, if you multiply 151 by 50, you’ll get 7550.The fifth step is to add your age to this total. For example, if you ’re 26years old, you should add 26 to this total. In our example here, the result would be 7550 plus 26, you’ll get 7576. Sixth, you have to add the number of days in a year, which is 3 65. In our example here, 365 added to 7576 is 7941.The seventh and final step is this: subtract(减) 615 from the nu mber that you have. In our example, 7941 minus 615 is 7326. The result here, 7-3-2-6, is the trick. The first part of the number is the address and th e last part of the number is the age of the person. That is, 73is t he address that we started with, and 26is the age that we used.If you follow these seven steps with any address and the age of any person. You will get the same result.28. According to the trick, what number can you get if you are 16 years old and your house number is 85？A. 1685B. 8516C. 8165D. 165829. How can your age number appear at the last part of the res ult?A. It’s really a trick.B. By taking all the steps except Step1 and Step 2.C. By taking Step 6and Step 7.D. By taking all the steps.30. What’s the secret of the trick?A. It’s impossible to know.B. By taking Step 2 and Step 4, we get the formula(公式)：your address number ×2×50.C. By taking all the steps except 1 and 2, we get the formula: 5×50+your age number+365－615=your age number.D. Both B and C.31. Is it possible for us to design another program of getting the same result？A. No, it’s impossible to find out another way.B. No problem.C. I’m not sure.D. It’s nothing but a trick.DIt was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, war m air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited m y sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had ne ver been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I’m so glad I did.On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. Aft er all，it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny cha nnel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance.On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her b aby. We couldn’t believe it ——there aren’t any whales along the coast here. The storm must h ave driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.The little baby whale——actually as big as our boat——was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived und er the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves. “She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,” my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes t he big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then itswam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperat e attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to le ad them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, some-times rising from the water right beside us to breathe——and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, th e mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a hal f. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day, Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.32. The author says “I’m so glad I did.”(in Para.2)because ____ ______.A. he witnessed the whole process of fishingB. he enjoyed th e beauty of the calm seaC. he experienced the rescue of the whalesD. he spent the weekend with his family33. The harbour survived the storm owing to____________.A. the shape of the harbourB. the arms of the bayC. the still water in the channelD. the long coast line34. The mother whale failed to help her baby because________ __.A. she had stayed in the polluted water for too longB. the whirlpools she had made were not big enoughC. she had no other whales around to turn to for helpD. the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction35. What is the theme of the story?A. Saving lives brings people a sense of happinessB. Fishing provides excitement for childrenC. It’s necessary to live in harmony with animalsD. It’s vital to protect the environment第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2014新课标1高考压轴卷英语第1卷第一局部：听力〔共两节，总分为30分〕略第二局部:阅读理解(共两节,总分为40分)第一节 (共15小题; 每一小题2分, 总分为30分)阅读如下短文，从每题所给的四个选项〔A,B,C和D〕中，选出最优选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.AA rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below l6℃. Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover，these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns，potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.In the past hundred years，humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources〔资源〕：land for crops，wood for paper and other products，land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example，a lot of carbon dioxide〔二氧化碳〕in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.There are two main reasons for this. Firstly，when people cut down trees，generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly，cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now，but in the long run it actually reduces the world’s wood supply.Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store. More than 25％ of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However，fewer than l％of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world’s shrinking rainforests.21. What does the word “this〞 underlined in the third paragraph refer to?A. We will lose much more than we can gain.B. Humans have begun destroying rainforests.C. People have a strong desire for resources.D. Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests.22. It can be inferred from the text thatA. we can get enough resources without rainforestsB. there is great medicine potential in rainforestsC. we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained landD. the level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns23. What might be the best title for the text?A. How to Save RainforestsB. How to Protect NatureC. Rainforests and the EnvironmentD. Rainforests and Medical DevelopmentBThe brown widow spider became established in Southern California in early 2000 and has become part of the local spider family in urban Los Angeles and San Diego. The brown widow spider is continuing its expansion in Southern California and could possibly move northward into Central California.The brown widow is suspected to have evolved in Africa although it was first described from South America, which adds confusion as to where it might have originated. Itis a tropical and subtropical spider having established populations in Hawaii, Florida, parts of Australia, South Africa and Japan. In North America, the brown widow was restricted for many decades to the Florida peninsula. However, around the year 2000, it started showing up in other GulfCoast states. Brown widows are now known from Texas to Georgia and South Carolina.The brown widow builds its web in protected sites around homes and in woody vegetation with branches. Some typical sites selected by brown widows for web building are empty containers such as buckets and nursery pots, mail boxes, entry way corners, under eaves, storage closets and garages, undercarriages of motor vehicles that are stationary for long periods, and the undersides of outdoor furniture. They choose places that are more exposed than sites chosen by black widows and therefore, appear to be at higher risk for interactions with humans as far as bites are concerned. One recent study demonstrates that the brown widow spider is less poisonous than other widow species. The reason for the weaker effect of brown widow bites on humans is possibly because the brown widow does not have much poison as its larger relatives, but it is really a threat to humans as to its poison. The two major symptoms of a brown widow bite were that the bite hurt when it was given and it left a red mark. These two symptoms are not much different from the bite of normal household spiders. There is no specific information regarding the control of brown widows by farm chemicals. Most current advice is what is used for controlling spiders in general. Therefore, most commercially available farm chemicals should work on brown widows. Avoiding a mess of the house and the garage should reduce nest sites for them. Also, one should store garage items in plastic bags where there might be interactions with spiders. These items include rarely worn garments such as gardening clothes and gloves, recreational items like sports equipment (i.e., baseball gloves) and other items where spiders can crawl up into holes where fingers can be inserted.24. The author wrote this article to _______.A. announce the result of a research on spidersB. introduce the ways to get rid of the spidersC. report a new finding of the widow speciesD. warn readers against the brown widow25. From the passage we can conclude that _______.A. brown widows are spreading northwardB. the brown widow originated from AfricaC. brown widows now can be found in all countriesD. there used to be no brown widows in North America26. The third paragraph is mainly about _______.A. the brown widow’s web buildingB. the characteristics of the brown widowC. the habitat preferences of the brown widowD. the brown widow’s threaten to human beings27. It can be inferred that _______.A. brown widows can be killed with any farm chemicalsB. at present people can only control brown widow spidersC. the brown widow has more poison than the black widowD. victims bitten by the brown widow needn’t see the doctorCThe opera house in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is one of the most beautiful in the United states. It is small and open, with one roof over the stage where singers perform and another roof over part of the audience. This opera house in the mountain is one of the best in the country, which may seem surprising because performances are only given during the seven weeks in summer, and because Santa Fe is a very small city.One reason why the Santa Fe Opera is so good is that it attracts many excellent youngsingers. They all hope to sing in famous opera houses like Metropolitan in New York someday, and they work hard to become well-known during the summer. The musicians and directors are experts who come from the best orchestras(管弦乐队) and operas in the country during their vacations. They enjoy working there because they like to live in Santa Fe, which is near both the mountains and the desert. It is very beautiful there in summer.The state government of New Mexico advertises the Santa Fe Opera in newspapers all over the country, and a great many tourists come to New Mexico because of the opera. Still, most of the audience does come from Santa Fe and other nearby cities, and all the seats in the theater are sold for every show.There is only one thing that some people do not like about the Santa Fe Opera, and that is the cold weather. Because the theater is open, performances cannot start before it gets da rk at nine o’clock in the evening, and then the mountain air becomes very cool. Sometimes people complain about the cold air, but because the operas are good, these people come back again wearing warm coats.28. This passage mainly introduces _______.A. a mountain cityB. young musiciansC. an opera houseD. the tourism in Santa Fe29. Yong singers come to perform in Santa Fe Opera because _______.A. the music quality is highB. they enjoy the climate thereC. they want to be famousD. they like the scenery there30. It seems surprising that Santa Fe becomes famous because _______.A. it is only a very small placeB. it is between the mountain and desertC. all the seats are sold for every showD. musicians there are from the best orchestras31. From the passage, we can learn that _______.A. the opera house is open without any roofsB. musicians always spend vacations in Santa FeC. the government advertises to attract more musiciansD. performances are held in Santa Fe only after it is darkDMy father was 44 and knew he wasn’t going to make it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out. “Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer. But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.〞 Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. “You will do something great.〞He didn’t know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I’ve felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask. “Is this what you were talking about, Dad? Should I keep going?〞A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, I’ve come to believe he’d want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of and believe in, somebody else. It’s time to start writing my own l etters to my children. Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids don’t hold back because they’re afraid to fail. They’re only afraid of failing us. They don’t worry about being disappointed. Their fear ----as mine was until my father’s letter----is of being a disappointment.Give your children permission to succeed. They’re waiting for you to believe in them.I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me: That belief will be more complete, that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts; “Don’t worry; you’ll do something great.〞 Nothaving that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.32.
