泉州市2014高考英语文章突破一轮训练（4）及答案(***)If cars had wings，they could fly and that just mighthappen, beginning in 2012.The company Terrafugia, basedin Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver itscar­plane, the Transition, to customers by the end o f 2012.“It’s the next ‘wow’ vehicle，”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh.“Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don’t fly.”The car plane has wings that unfold for flying—a process the company says takes one minute—and fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then you’re good to go. When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don’t have to store it at an airport—you park it in the garage at home.The car­plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界)conditions.The Transition’s price tag: $194,000. But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, transponder or GPS. Another option is a full­plane parachute.“If you get into a very a wful situation, it is the necessary safety option，” Gersh said.So far, the company has more than 70 orders with deposits. “We’re working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps，” Brown said.( )11.We can learn from the first paragraph that________.A．car­planes will be popular in 2012B．people might drive a car­plane in 2012C．both Transition and Ferrari can take off and landD．Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts( )12.It takes the car­plane one minute to________.A．fold and unfold its wings B．unfold wings for flyingC．land in the airport D．meet flying safety regulations( )13.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A．The car­plane needs a runway to take off and lan d.B．To meet aircraft regulations, the company has been working with FAA.C．The car­plane may fly as high as normal planes.D．People can park the car­plane in the garage at their home.()14.The underlined word “it” in the last but one paragraph refers to________.A．the radio B．the transponder C．the GPS D．the full­plane parachute ( )15.What’s the best title for the passage?A．Cars With Wings May Be Just Around The CornerB．Which To Choose: A Ferrari Or A Car­Plane?C．A More Convenient And Cheaper Way To FlyD．Cars With Wings Can Fly As Fast As Plane(二)本文为说明文，主要介绍2011年末即将上市的一种汽车飞机的性能、特点与价格等。

泉州市2014高考英语文章突破一轮训练（10）及答案阅读理解、专题训练(**)、议论文的阅读(**)◆ 方法点拨议论文通常用来讨论一个观点或现象，其内容主要由三部分组成：论点，论据与结论。

论点就是作者要论述的观点，是文章的主旨；而论据是用来证明论点的材料，也就是支撑论点的理由和事实。

它可以是事例，理论，数据等等，结论则是论证后所得出的总结性观点。

写作方法通常是：提出论点，分析或举例论证，得出结论。

阅读议论文的方法：读者应该先搞清楚其结构。

首先通过寻找短文的主题句来确定文章的主题，也就是论点。

主题句在文章中的位置通常有三种情况：开头、中间、结尾(含在开头结尾同时出现、首尾呼应的主题句)。

因此仔细阅读这类文章或段落的首尾句是关键。

在浏览时，一般不需逐句浏览，只需选读文章的首段、尾段，或每段的首句和末句。

但注意，有些文章的主题句或者说“文眼”出现在文章的最后，此类文章往往以列举事实开头，通过论证，最后阐述核心观点，或者引用某个人的话印证自己的观点，以此归纳文章的主旨大意。

找出文章的主论点后，还需进一步找出每段落的分论点，以免分论点与主论点混淆。

◆ 活学活用阅读下列文章，按要求完成读写任务It's natural that children are curious about the world around them.For example，they want to know how their hearts beat.They want to know why the ocean water tastes salty.As children grow up，they become curious about different kinds of things.When they are babies，they are interested in the parts of their bodies and in the smiles of the others.Then they become interested in the physical world around them：the plants，the animals，and the ter they become interested in the things that people have made：wheels，bicycles，cars，etc.And when they are adults，their curiosity continues.Sometimes this curiosity leads to a career(生涯)in science.Scientists spend their lives trying to find out about the world.Those who work with the earth sciences study the earth，the oceans，and the skies.Other scientists who study living things work with the biological science.A third group of scientists study the physical science，e.g.physics and chemistry.These scientists have already discovered a lot about our world.For example，they tell us why your heart beats fast when you run.They say that when you are quiet，your heart normally beats sixty­five or seventy­five times a minute.Your heart is a pump that pumps blood to all parts of the body.The blood carries oxygen and nutrition.When you run，your muscles work very hard and use the nutrition that the brain carries to them.The muscles need oxygen，too.So your brain sends a signal to the heart.The signal means that the muscles need more nutrition and oxygen.Then the heart beats fast and sends blood quickly to the muscles.It may beat 90 to 140 times a minute.Of course，scientists cannot answer all of our questions.If we ask，“Why does the ocean water taste salty”，scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks.When a rock gets very hot or very cold，it cracks.Rain falls into the cracks.The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers.The rivers carry the salt into the oceans.But when then we ask “What happens to the salt in the ocean？The ocean does not get saltier every year.” Scien tists are not sure about the answer to this question.We know a lot about our world，but there are still many answers that we don't have and we are curious.Ⅰ.根据短文，写一篇30词左右的摘要____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Ⅱ.根据所读短文，选择最佳选项1．According to the passage，which of the following statements is true？________.A．People are curious in the same way.B．People in different countries are interested in different things.C．Men and women are curious about different things.D．People of different ages are interested in different things.2．Scientists who work with the biological sciences study________.A．the earth，the oceans and the skyB．man­made thingsC．plants and animalsD．ocean water3．When you run，your muscles need ________.A．more nutrition and oxygenB．more signalsC．more saltD．water4．People are always curious because________.A．they cannot explain many thingsB．they know nothing about the worldC．they know little about the worldD．they want to be scientists5．The passage mainly shows us that ________.A．Scientists find out many things because they are curious about everything around themB．what the people are curious aboutC．everyone has curiosity which makes the science develop quicklyD．Sometimes scientists cannot answer all of our questions参考答案ⅠThis passage tells us that everyone，either children or adults are curious about the world around them，which sometimes leads to a career in science and thus makes science develop by showing some examples.Ⅱ1．解析：根据第二段可知。

泉州市2014高考英语文章突破一轮训练（9）及答案(***)Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now，and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them；often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.Of course sometimes there were real disasters(灾难) which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes.Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore.At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries；however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U. S．， for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell.A third department looks at the places where people work，and then reports any company that is breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course，new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness，but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products.( )11.The main topic of the passage is________.A．conditions in the work place B．the freedom of industries in the past C．changes in industrial production D．the safety and health of workers and customers( )12.It can be inferred from the passage that in the past________.A．workers often got ill because of the poor working conditionsB．companies were free to put out any products they wanted toC．many people were killed by dangerous productsD．industries were as careful in management as they are today( )13.It is implied in the passage that________.A．governments and companies had different opinions about the safety of products B．governments paid little attention to the safety of productsC．government officials often did not listen to scientistsD．in the past no safety laws were introduced by governments( )14.Some years ago safety rules________.A．were put forward due to scientists’ recommendationsB．came into being as a result of the worke rs’ demandsC．were introduced because quite a number of people were killed or seriously injuredD．were effective enough to protect workers and customers( )15.The special departments protect customers and workers in many ways EXCEPT by________.A．testing new products B．controlling the sale of productsC．designing new products D．inspecting work places(二)本文为说明文。
