2014高考英语二轮阅读理解根底训练精品题〔1〕与答案阅读理解-----〔A〕Sports shoes that out whether their owner has enough exercise to warrant time in front of the television have been devised in the UK.The shoes—named Square Eyes—contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the day’s efforts.The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at BrunelUniversity to London, UK. “We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,〞she says. “And I wanted to tackle that with my design.〞Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time.Existing pedometers 〔计步器〕 normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. “It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort,〞she says. “That was one of my main design considerations.〞( ) 1. According to Swan, the purpose of her design project is to ________.A. keep a record of the steps of the wearerB. deal with overweight among teenagersC. enable children to resist the temptation of TVD. prevent children from being tricked by TV programs( ) 2. Which of the following is true of Square Eyes shoes?A. They regulate a child’s evening TV viewing time.B.They determine a child’s daily pocket money.C. They have raised the hot issue of overweight.D. They co ntain information of the receiver.( ) 3. What is stressed by health experts in their suggestion?A. The exact number of steps to be taken.B. The precise number of hours spent on TV.C. The proper amount of daily exercise and TV time.D. The way of changing steps into TV watching time.( ) 4. Compared with other similar products, the new design ________.A. makes it difficult for lazy teenagers to cheatB. counts the wearer’s steps through shakingC. records the sudden movement of the wearerD. sends teenagers’ health data to the receiver( ) 5. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Smart Shoes Decide on Television TimeB. Smart Shoes Guarantee More ExerciseC. Smart Shoes Measure Time of ExerciseD. Smart Shoes Stop Childhood Overweight71. B 这是一道推断题。

2014高考英语阅读理解二轮专题训练精品题（2)及答案阅读理解—-—-—BCan dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight。

A recent research has found a new recipe of success。

According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog，and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats，a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two—thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light。

There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes，while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example，when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission。

【2014高考英语模拟题】ADear , Dec. 24, 1848Your request for eighty dollars, I do not think it best to satisfy no w. At the various times when I have helped you a little, you hav e said to me, “We can get along very well again,” but in a very s hort time I find you in the same difficulty again. Now this can onl y happen by some fault in your behaviour. What that fault is, I th ink I know. You are not lazy, and still you are an idler. I doubt w hether since I saw you, you have done a good whole day’s wor k. In any other day,you do not very much dislike to work, and sti ll you do not work much, merely because it does not seem to yo u that you could get much for it.This habit of uselessly wasting time is the whole difficulty; it is v astly important to you, and still more so to your children, that yo u should break this habit. It is more important to them, becausethey have longer to live, and can keep out of an idle habit befor e they are in it, easier than they can get out after they are in. You are now in need of some ready money; and what I suggest is, that you shall go to work hard, for somebody who will give y ou money for it.Let father and your boys take charge of your things at home—prepare for a crop, and make the crop, and you go to work for t he best money wages, or to pay back any debt you owe. And to secure you a fair reward for your labor, I now promise you that for every dollar you will, between this and the first of May, get fo r your own labor, I will then give you one other dollar. By this, if you hire yourself at t en dollars a month, from me you will get ten more, making twen ty dollars a month for your work.Now if you will do this, you will soon be out of debt, and what is better, you will have a habit that will keep you from getting in de bt again. But if I should now clear you out, next year you will be just as deep in as ever. You say you would almost give your pla ce in Heaven for $ 70 or $80. Then you value your place in Hea ven cheaply, for I am sure you can with the offer I make you get the seventy or eighty dollars for four or five months’ work. You say if I furnish you the money you will deed(抵押) me the land, and if you don’t pay the money back, you will d eliver possession—Nonsense! If you can’t now live with the land, how will you then live without it? You have always been kind to me, and I do not n ow mean to be unkind to you. On the contrary, if you will but foll ow my advice, you will find it worth more than eight time eighty dollars to you.AffectionatelyYour brother51.

Scientists looked at hundreds of studies of mobile exposur e and found no conclusive links to cancer risk, brain function or infertility. However, they said monitoring should continue becau se little was known about long-term effects. The HPA said children should still avoid excessive use of mobiles.It is the biggest ever review of the evidence surrounding the safety of mobile phones. There are now an estimated 80 million m obiles in the , and because of TV and radio broadcasting, Wi-Fi, and other technological developments, the study said expos ure to low-level radio frequency fields was almost universal and continuou s. A group of experts working for the HPA looked at all significa nt research into the effects of low-level radio frequency.'Relatively reassuring'They concluded that people who were not exposed above guid eline levels did not experience any detectable symptoms. That i ncluded people who reported being sensitive to radio frequency . They also said there was no evidence that exposure caused b rain tumours, other types of cancer, or harm to fertility or cardio vascular health.But they said very little was known about risks beyond 15 years , because most people did not use mobile phones until the late 1990s. Prof Anthony Swerdlow, who chaired the review group, said it was important to continue monitoring research. "Even though it's relatively reassuring, I also think it's important that we keep an eye on the rates of brain tumours and other ca ncers," he said. "One can't know what the long-term consequences are of something that has been around for only a short period."There has been speculation about the health effects of using m obile phones for years. The HPA conducted a previous review i n 2003, which also concluded that there was no evidence of har m. But there is now far more research into the subject.Advice on childrenThe experts said more work was needed on the effect of radio f requency fields on brain activity, and on the possible association with behavioural problems in children. They also cal led for more investigation into the effects of new technology whi ch emits radio frequency, such as smart meters in homes and a irport security scanners.The HPA said it was not changing its advice about mobile phon e use by children. "As this is a relatively new technology, the H PA will continue to advise a precautionary approach," said Dr J ohn Cooper, director of the HPA's centre for radiation, chemical and environmental hazards. "The HPA recommends that exces sive use of mobile phones by children should be discouraged."55.What does the HPA not do according to the passage?A. It gives advice to children on using mobile phones.B. It monitors the effects of low-level radio frequency.C. It keeps an eye on different functions of mobile phones.D. It does research about the detectable symptoms after using mobile phones.56.The underlined word “reassuring” in the fifth paragraph most probably means “__________”A. comfortingB. dangerousC. seriousD. expens ive57.Why should they still continue monitoring research though th ere is no evidence of harm to health? _____________.A. Because the speculation about the effect of using mobile pho nes is wrong.B. Because the time of using mobile phones isn’t long enough t o tell the long-term effects.C. Because the HPA should take its responsibility to undertake the task.D.Because they didn’t get enough safety reviews about the effe ct of using mobile phones.58.What can we infer from the passage? _____________.A. Exposure to low-level radio frequency fields is a common phenomenon .B. Using mobile phones does great harm to children’s health.C. More and more mobile phones will be used in the future.D. Long-term consequences of something must be more serious than sh ort-term ones.59. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To make people aware of the harm of using mobile phones t o health.B. To arouse people’s attention on fighting against some diseas es.C. To forbid children to use mobile phones.D. To reveal the truth but arouse persistent attention on effects of using mobile phones.55、C 56—59、ABAD阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

2014高考英语阅读理解基础精品二轮训练题（3)及答案【2014安徽省屯溪一中月考卷】AWith only fish and birds for company，Eric Erden has been rowing across the Pacific Ocean to Australia in his 23-foot-long boat since he left California on July 10, 2009.This is the first part of Eric’s trip around the world using only his own energy. He will row，bike, and walk without help from any motors at all. His plan includes climbing the tallest mountain on each of the six continents he visits，to honor the memory of a fellow climber。

He says he is doing this to show kids that they can achieve any goal，but he also hopes to have some great adventures along the way.Storms and huge waves regularly force him in the wrong direction and even threaten to overturn his boat. “Sometimes I really feel scared," says a somewhat embarrassed Eric. “But that’s part of the journey. I knew this wouldn’t be easy when I started.”Protein bars give him energy，and he boils water to heat freeze—dried meals on a one—burner stove. A sun—powered machine removes salt from ocean water so he can drink it, but when that fails he sometimes tries to collect rainwater in a bucket。

AI got my first driver’s license (执照)in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. Four years later when it was time to renew my license I was a married woman. Henry and I were living in Baltimore, Maryland. Two weeks before my 20th birthday, Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon. When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Carolina driver’s license, ready to renew, the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law since I was not yet 21. “Mr. Henry Smith, your husband, will have to sign for you,” he said.I argued, pointing to a very large belly(肚子)of mine,” I am married. I am havinga baby. Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive?” He answered coldly, “It’s the law, madam?” Henry encouraged me to calm down, just go ahead and get the license and be done with it “No.” I sa id. I refused to have him sign for me. So I left without a Maryland license.I called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Office and renewed my NC license by mail-using my name Susan Brown. And thus it was for the next twelve years. Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license. By the time Henry left the army we were once again livin g i n Maryland, and I had to take the Maryland driver’s exam. Since then I just go in and renew every four years-sign the name Susan Brown, have my new picture taken, and walk out with a license to drive.( ) 1.

2014高考英语阅读理解精英训练二轮精品题（1）及答案阅读理解A villa (别墅) designed to resist earthquakes with “self-healing” cracks in its walls, thanks to nanotechnology (纳米技术) applications with self-healing polymers (聚合物), is to be built on a Greek mountainside. The villa’s walls w ill include special particles that turn into a liquid when squeezed under pressure, flow into cracks, and then harden to form a solid material.The NanoManufacturing Institute (NMI), based in Leeds University, will play a key role in an EU project to construct the home by December 2010. The project, called “Intelligent Safe and Secure Buildings” (ISSB) is funded under the EU’s Sixth Framework program. This potentially life-saving scheme is led by German building manufacturer Knauf. The villa will be built in Amphilochia, in western Greece, where Knauf currently runs a manufacturing plant. If the experiment is successful, more tremor-resistant（防震）homes could be built in earthquake zones across the globe. NMI chief executive Professor Terry Wilkins said, “What we’re trying to achieve here is very exciting. We’re looking to use polymers in much tougher situations than ever before on a larger scale.” Monitors contained in the villa’s walls will be able to collect vast amounts of data about the building over time. Wireless sensors will record any stresses and vibrations, as well as temperature, humidity and gas levels.The walls are to be built from new load-bearing steel frames and high-strength gypsum（石膏）board. Prof Wilkins said, “If there are any problems, the intelligent sensor network will be able to alert residents immediately so they have time to escape.” If whole groups of houses are so constructed, we could use a larger network of sensors to get even more information. “If the house falls down, we have got hand-held devices that can be used over the rubble to pick out where the embedded （嵌入的）sensors are hidden to get some information about how the villa collapsed.” Also, we can get information about anyone who may be around, so it potentially becomes a tool for rescue.16. The aim of the passage is to .A. report a piece of interesting newsB. promote tremor-resistant homesC. inform us of the nanotechnology developmentD. tell us about a tremor-resistant home17. The villa can resist earthquakes because .A. it will be built on a special placeB. the cracks in its walls can be healed by the polymersC. the special particles can make its walls strongerD. the intelligent sensor network can tell people where there is a crack18. If the tremor-resistant home falls down, .A. rescue work can be done more quickly and accuratelyB. the intelligent sensor network will stop workingC. no one can be hurt in the earthquakeD. a warning signal will be given to other residents19. What Prof Wilkins said suggests that .A. he is doubtful about the projectB. he thinks the tremor-resistant home is perfectly designedC. he is confident in the tremor-resistant homeD. the tremor-resistant home still needs to be tested in a real situation20. It can be inferred from the passage that tremor-resistant home .A. is still being tried outB. is already under constructionC. has been in wide useD. will be put into wide use soon【参考答案】16—20、DBACAC5[2013·广东卷] ----COne day, when I was working as a psychologist in England，an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale,and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family，” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I'm very worried about him. Can you help？”I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn't have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.The first two times we met, David didn't say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon—in complete silence and without looking at me. It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?“Perhaps he simply nee ds someone to share his pain with，” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.”Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.“It's your turn，” he said.After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one—without any words—can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.36．When he first met the author, David ________．A. felt a little excitedB. walked energeticallyC. looked a little nervousD. showed up with his teacher37．As a psychologist, the author ________．A. was ready to listen to DavidB. was skeptical about psychologyC. was able to describe David's problemD. was sure of handling David's problem38．David enjoyed being with the author because he________．A．wanted to ask the author for adviceB．needed to share sorrow with the authorC．liked the children's drawings in the officeD．beat the author many times in the chess game39．What can be inferred about David?A．He recovered after months of treatment.B．He liked biking before he lost his family.C．He went into university soon after starting to talk.D．He got friends in school before he met the author.40．What made David change?A．His teacher's help.B．The author's friendship.C．His exchange of letters with the author.D．The author's silent communication with him.【要点综述】对于一个自闭的孩子，心理医生最好的疗法或许就是默默地和他一块感受他的痛苦……36．C 细节理解题。

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 E vans 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.
