ALinda Evans was my best friend — like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special times —like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back，stamped “Address Unknown”.I had no idea about how to find Linda.Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.One day, I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman —Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans.” I thought, but I still wrote to her.She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs. Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother.”Minutes later I heard a voice that I recognized at once, even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!26. The writer went to piano lessons with Linda Evans ________.A. at the age of 13B. before she got marriedC. after they moved to new homesD. before the writer’s family moved away【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。

2014届高考高三英语二轮复习专题训练：阅读理解（3）Word版含答案1.阅读下列短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、 B、 C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Former Irish President Mary Robinson was just making a polite conversation with an Ethiopian（埃塞俄比亚的）teenager about her wedding day. The 16-year-old had already been married for a year．"She looked at me with the saddest eyes and said, 'I had to drop out of school,'" Robinson said in a telephone interview．"That conveyed to me the reality, "said Robinson, the first woman to serve as Ireland's president and former U．N．high commissioner for human rights．"Her life, as far as she is concerned, had more or less ended．"Robinson said keeping girls in school was one of the most important things policymakers could do to address the coming challenges of an ever-increasing population, predicted by the United Nations to reach 7 billion soon．"European countries are concerned about aging populations as is Japan, but this is much less of an issue than the huge number of people which we are going to see over the next 40 years when the population goes from 7 billion to 9 billion, "she said．"Almost all of that increase will be in poor developing countries, so that we have a very big challenge．"Family planning experts worry in particular about the future population explosion in sub-Saharan Africa．In May, the United Nations projected the world population would reach 9.3 billion in 2050 and 10.1 billion by 2100. Much of that growth will come from Africa, where the population is growing at 2.3 percent a year—more than double Asia' s 1 percent growth rate. If that rate stays consistent, which is not certain, Africa's population will reach 3.6 billion by 2100 from the present 1 billion．Joel Cohen, a professor of population studies at Rockefeller University and Columbia University in New York, said universal secondary education offered a way to reduce population in high birth-rate regions. In addition to providing information about birth control, a secondary education teaches women to reduce their own fertility（生育力）, improve the health of their children and allows them to move from a mind-set of having many children, in the hopes that some will survive to improving the quality of each child's life, Cohen wrote in the journal Nature.59. In the first paragraph, the author introduces his topic by_____．A. explaining the author's opinionsB. giving an exampleC. describing the poor education systemD. coming straight to the topic60. What can we learn from the passage?A. Robinson is happy after talking to the Ethiopian girl.B. Robinson is a successful expert in population studies.C. Robinson is worried about population growth.D. Robinson encourages female education.61. What is Joel Cohen's view about secondary education?A. It provides basic knowledge of health.B. It improves the health of children.C. It makes people pay more attention to education.D. It can change people's parenting ideas.62. According to the passage, the most important way to control high population growth is .A. keeping girls in schoolB. letting girls go away from AfricaC. letting young girls remain singleD. keeping girls in families2.阅读下列短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、 B、 C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AWe live in central Phoenix, near the canal. Every day I used to see a homeless old man and his scruffy little dog hanging out down there.I would tell my husband we should give him food for the little dog. It wouldn't have been a problem; we have our own "mini farm" of animals! But he would say "OK!" and then blow the idea off because of our business.Being in Phoenix, Arizona, you can just imagine how hot it gets here, but his winter was really chilly! I had just come from KFC with take-out food for dinner. As I was turning by the canal, the man and his dog were sitting right there all bundled up. Even the doggy had a coat on! Not even thinking about it, I pulled into the parking lot along the canal and piled up a plate of chicken with al the fixings for the man and his little buddy. I gave it to him with a soda and a bottle of water for the little dog. He said, "Thank you, sweetie. You are an angel." And there were tears welling up in his eyes! I told him he ws so welcome, and then went home.When my husband dug into the KFC gag he asked, "Were you hungry, or what?" I told him what I did and he said, "Only you!" Then he told me I had done a good thing.A few weeks later, we were walking along the canal and found the man walking to me, with his little dog. He asked whether I would mind adopting the dog. With tears in eyes, he said it had gotten too hard for him to care for the dog. He added that he was planning on heading to Washington State but his dog wouldn't have been up to it, so he hoped to give it to me. "Only you! In this city, you are the only person I can believe in!"Now, every time I watch and pat the puppy lying near the fireplace, I will recall the old man's words and wish him good luck.26.The author and her husband didn't kelp the old man at the beginning because _______A.they had a farm of animals to feedB.they didn't have food even for themselves.C.they worked busily and often forget it.D.they were unwilling to help a man with a dog. 【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。

ADutch treat is a late-nineteenth-century term, and it originally refers to a dinner where everyone is expected to pay for his own share of the food and drin k. If people go “Dutch treat”, or simply “go Dutch”, it means that they will share the expenses of a social engagement.There are many other “Dutch” expressions in English, many of which were invented in Britain in the seventeenth century, when the Dutch and the English were commercial and military rivals. The British used “Dutch” to refer to something bad, cheap and shameful. A “Dutch bargain” at that time was an uneven, one-sided deal; “Dutch reckoning” was an unitemized account; and “Dutch widow” was sl ang for prostitute. Later centuries brought in “Dutch courage”, for bravery induced by drink; “Dutch concert”, for discordant music; “Dutch nightingale”, meaning a frog; and “double Dutch”, for incomprehensible language, or unintelligible talk.Some of th e expressions are still in use today, but some are not. In fact, in American English, some “Dutch” expressions have nothing to do with the Dutch, but something with the German. It was probably because of the similar spelling and pronunciation that people m ade a mistake in distinguishing between “Dutch” and “Deutsch” (the German word for German), when German immigrants came to America in the 1700s. For instance, “the Pennsylvania Dutch” refers to the German descendants, instead of the Dutch descendants, livi ng in Pennsylvania.56. Many of the “Dutch” expressions were invented with derogatory (贬义) sense, because .A. The Dutch were underdeveloped people.B .Britain and Holland were competitors at that time.C. The Dutch had many bad habits.D. The British were superior to the Dutch.【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。
