For the next two hours I found myself 5 swings and playing games with my daughter and the little girl.

高中英语真题:2014高考英语完形填空、阅读理解精品系列(12)含答案AThe Child Ego StateThe Child ego state is a set of behaviors, thoughts and feelings which are replayed from our own childhood.Perhaps the boss calls us into his or her office, we may immedi ately get a churning in our stomach and wonder what we have done wrong. If this were explored we might remember the time t he head teacher called us in to tell us off. Of course, not everyt hing in the Child ego state is negative. We might go into someo ne’s house and smell a lovely smell and remember our grandm other’s house when we were little, and all the same warm feelin gs we had at six years of age may come flooding back.The Child ego states are constantly being updated. For exampl e, we may meet someone who gives us the permission we nee ded as a child, and did not get, to be fun and joyous. We may w ell use that person in our imagination when we are stressed to r esist our old ways of thinking that we must work longer and longer hours to keep up with everything. We might ask ourselves “I wonder what X would say now.” Then on hearing the new perm issions to relax and take some time out, do just that and then re turn to the work renewed and ready for the challenge. Afterward s, rather than blaming ourselves for what we did or did not do, what tends to happen is that we automatically start to give ours elves new permissions and take care of ourselves. Alternatively, we might have had an extremely unpleasant expe rience yesterday which goes into the Child ego state as an anti que memory that stands in the way of our growth. Positive expe riences will also go into the Child ego state as antique memorie s. The positive experiences can then be drawn on to remind us that positive things do happen.The process of analyzing personality in terms of ego states is c alled structural analysis. It is important to remember that ego st ates do not have an existence of their own. They are concepts t o enable understanding. Therefore it is important to say “I want some fun” rather than “My Child wants some fun.” We may be i n our Child ego state when we say this, but saying “I” reminds u s to take responsibility for our actions.1. The writer uses two examples in Paragraph 2 in order to ____ _.A. support the idea in Paragraph 1B. explain whywe become nervousC. prove the Child ego state is negativeD. introduce the point of Paragraph 32. By asking “I wonder what X would say now”, we intend to ___ _______.A. blame ourselvesB. accept challengesC. keep up with everythingD. avoid stress3. According to the passage, the Child ego state __________.A. shows one’s wisdomB. influences on e’s actionsC. limits one’s thoughtsD. exists in one’s childho od4. The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to ___ _______.A. structural analysisB. “My Child wants some fu n”C. the Child ego stateD. “I want some fun”*************************BThe Cave Crawler mining robotWhy do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world? It’s an increasingly urgent question,given the recent high-profile(引人注目的)mining accidents in Sago, W. Va., and Huntington, Utah.A small group of engineers and robotics experts envision(展望)a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mini ng work..One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Carnegie-Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. It was called Groundhog and it looked like a golf cart. It used lasers to “see” in dark tunn els and ma p abandoned mines—some of the most dangerous work in the business.The latest prototype is called Cave Crawler. It’s a bit smaller tha n Groundhog, and even more advanced. It can take photos and video and has sensors mounted that can detect the presence o f dangerous gases. Incredibly, the robot has a real sense of logi c. If it comes across an obstacle it gets momentarily confused, i t has to t hink through the process and where to go next, and sometimes it throws a fit just lik e a real person.The biggest obstacle, though, is cost. The original research proj ect was federally funded, but that money has dried up, and it’s not clear where future funding will come from. Partly for that rea son, and partly because of advances in safety, mining is not ne arly as dangerous as it was in the past. Since 1990, fatalities ha ve declined by 67 percent, and injuries by 51 percent, accordin g to the National Mining Association.Someexperts predict that robots in mines will serve much of the s ame function that they do in the automotive industry. The robots do the most repetitive and dangerous jobs, but don’t eliminate t he need for human workers.5.The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog mainly because .A. it can map abandoned minesB. the robot has a r eal sense of logicC. it can see in the dark tunnelD. it’s a b it smaller than Groundhog6.We can infer from the last paragraph that .A. the mine robots will have a very bright futureB. robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industryC. there will be no need for human workers in minesD. robots in mines have a long way to go7. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. High-profile mining acci dents in America.B. The development of robot.C. Could robots replac e humans in mines?D.

Most adults can remember their first stuffed(填充玩具)bear, and over the decades these toys have become nearly a s ymbol of their childhood. However, children are not the only one s with whom these toys have become popular, as many adults make it a habit to collect these toys as well.The Teddy Bear first became popular during the early 20th cent ury and was associated with then President Theodore Roosevel t. The story can date back to a hunting trip that President Roos evelt had taken where he was invited to be the one to shoot a bl ack bear that had been tied to a tree. Being a crazy outdoors lo ver and hunter, Roosevelt refused to kill the animal because he believed that shooting the helpless bear was unsportsmanlike a nd wrong. This story quickly spread through newspapers across the country, and in the end inspired the introduction of a stuffed toy called “Teddy’s bear”.These toys became popular soon after first introduced, and within ten years, they were being produced by dozens of companie s around the world. Within a generation, these stuffed bears we re “the” toy to have, and have always been within children’s toy boxes ever since.They are most often mass-produced in factories in order to keep up with the high demand. However, there are still companies that take great pride in their handmade designs; and while handmade teddy bears are often preferred, they are also generally more expensive than their m ass-produced ones.Today, these bears and other similar toys generate well over a billion dollars a year in profits for the companies that make the m. Walk through just about any toy store in America and you wil l find dozens of different teddy bears lining the shelves.68.

So, too, are health problems linked to b eing overweight.The WHO says a major reason for the rising obesity rates is an increase in imported foods. It says many Pacific islanders have replaced their traditional diets of vegetables and fruits with imported processed foods.Dr.Temu Waqanivalu is with the World Health Organization’s S outh Pacific office in Suva, Fiji.He says many of the imported pr oducts lack nutritional value.Temu Waqanivalu said: “In some of the places, you’d be amaze d to see how a bottle of Coke is cheaper than a bottle of water.I think that represents the kind of offenvironment we’ve created that doesn’t really encourage or make lifestyle choices an easy choice for the population.”And a lack of physical activity among many Pacific islanders onl y adds to the obesity problem.The WHO says more than 50 percent of the population is overw eight in at least ten Pacific island countries. The rate is as high as 80 percent among women in the territory(领地)of American Samoa. Fiji had the lowest obesity rate at 30 perce nt.In all, almost ten million people live in Pacific island countries. T he WHO estimates that about 40 percent of them have health di sorders related to diet and nutrition.Diabetes(糖尿病)rates are among the highest in the world. Forty-seven percent of the people in American Samoa have diabetes. So do 44 percent of the people in Tokelau, a territory of New Zealand.By comparison, the diabetes rate is 13 percent in the United St ates, a country that has its own problems with rising obesity. Officials also note an increase in nutritional problems like anemi a and not enough vitamin A in the diets of Pacific islanders. Dr. Waqanivalu says treating conditions related to obesity and diet puts pressure on limited health resources and budgets.72. The main reason why obesity rates are rising in many Pacific islanders is ________.A. the change of societyB. the change of eating habitsC. the change of life styleD. lack of exercise73. Imported products lack nutritional value but people love to b uy them because they are ____.A. cheapB. popularC. tastyD. convenient to get74.

Study author Brent Cok er said, “Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employ ee’s attention.”“People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention,” Co ker said on the university’s website. “Having a short break, such as a quick surfing of the Internet, helps the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day’s work, and as a result, increases productivity(生产效率),”he said.According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reas ons during office hours. Among the most popular surfing activiti es are searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and watching videos. “Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watch ing video, using social networking sites or shopping online,” sai d Coker. “That’s not always a good idea.”However, Coker said the study looked at people who surfed t he Internet in moderation (适度), or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office. “Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without,” he sa id.51. What does the University of Melbourne study mainly show?A. People who surf the Internet are good employees.B. Not everyone surfs the Internet for fun during office hours.C. Surfing the Internet for fun during office hours increases prod uctivity.D. The Internet is becoming more and more important in people’s life.52.
