Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet．Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, amb ition inspired and success achieved．"One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude to wards adversity (逆境）．From time to time we all face hardships, problems, accid ents, afflictions and difficulties．Some are of our making but many

But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster—often within a day or two.Walk it offExercise is the most popular bad-mood buster. A person who’s in a bad mood has low energy an d high tension.

Back then, racing around the playground or skipping rope for hours, you weren’t thinking fitness, you were thinking entertain ment. But in this age of high-tech home equipment and underused gym memberships, the si mple joy of jumping rope has been forgotten. Rediscovering it w ill give you a total-body exercise you can find.Although considered an excellent form of exercise, jumpingrope has never gained widespread acceptance because of two fundamental reasons. First, most people recognize jumping rop e as an excellent form of cardiovascular (心血管的) exercise, but they also believe that it is simply too difficult. I n other words, they don’t think they’ll be able to continue jumpin g for the near 20 minutes that it takes to achieve a beneficial ph ysical outcome. Second, many view it as somewhat boring and overly repetitive—not as something fun or enjoyable.As a matter of fact, jumping rope can be great fun if you fin d a proper way to practice it. Instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce over and over again, people good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps. A sing le bounce, a double–bounce, a skip, a knee-up, side swings, as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping.Now researchers are learning that jumping rope also prepa res the brain for learning. It is an exercise allowing both brain h emispheres to perform in parallel to each other. In short , jumpi ng rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment, time and space, yet leadi ng to a much healthier life.44. From the first paragraph we learn that .A．jumping rope has faded from people’s memoriesB．people now have more advanced equipmentC．racing around the playground was preferredD．people now like to have exercise in a gym45. Rope jumping has not spread widely because .A．it benefits the cardiovascular system B．it is neither ea sy nor enjoyableC．it is considered boring and repetitiveD．it requires little equipment, time and space46. The first sentence in the 3rd paragraph implies . A．there is only one proper way to follow B．the usual w ay should not be usedC．the easiest way is always the best D．there are many ways to follow47.What is the author’s attitude towards rope jumping?A．He is arguing against it. B．He is in favor of it.C．He is sitting on the fence of it. D．He is not cle ar about it.参考答案 44-47ABDB*************************************************************结束完形填空Words：332 难度系数：★★★建议用时：16分钟“Two books per visit per week，”said the unsmiling librarian as she handed a library card.Neither the limits nor her attitude __1 __ me，a 9yearold Jewish girl growing up in Berlin in the 1950s.I neede d those visits.The books were filled with stories in which，however __2__ things seemed，everything __3__ well in the end，__4__ justice，bravery，and wisdom－a striking contrast(对比)to my everyday experiences.Thirty years later，I，a recent immigrant to the US with a daughter aged 13，stood in front of another librarian.This librarian was __5__.“What did she say？”I asked my daughter，who already knew a little English and often __6__ as my interpr eter.“She said，‘Can I help you？’”“Ask if they have any books in __7__，”I requested.“No，they don’t.”translated my daughter.While hunting for a job，I was told that the library needed people to __8__ books.The interview was short－the job didn’t require much English，just a __9__ of the alphabet.I started the next day.Every day，I handled hundreds of books whose meaning was __10__ from me，mentally dividing them by size and color.One day，while shelving，I found English for Beginners and began studying it on my own. __11__ English letters started forming words I could __12__，words combined into phrases，and－oh，__13__！—I was reading.It was a slow process，supported by dictionaries and __14__by tears，but it was progress.Afterwards I got promoted to the front desk －__15__books in and out and answering simple questions.

高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空二轮精品训练（47）含答案AIf Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birt hday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d nee d a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his sp ecial day, few people in the United States will give him a passin g thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even re member the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confuciu s. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must c ross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have ga ined huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more th an 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language a nd culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include d Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United St ates, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese.So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to underst and their Chinese customers.So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to th e West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.56.

This year, it’s Wi-Fi-enabled laundry machines and fridges that can tell you when yo ur groceries are going bad.The washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, conne ct to any smart-phone through a downloadable application. The phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be turned o n and off while their owners is at work or on the bus. Samsung says it’s not just something new — the app connectio n actually has some practical uses.“If you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take th em out, you can go to your phone and restart your dryer for the time when you come home, so your clothes are refreshed and r eady to go,” said spokesperson Amy Schmidt.The company also says that with electricity rate(电)varying dep ending on the time of day, more control over when the machines are used can help save money.Perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what a ll good technologies do —enable laziness. Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will instead monitor it on their phones w hile watching TV.60. What can be inferred from the common response of the atte ndees at the CES?A. The machine will be a big success.B. their wives like doing the laundry.C. The machine is unrelated to their life.D. This kind of technology is familiar to them.61. We can conclude from Samsung’s statements that ________ ___.A. the app connection makes life easierB. it is better to dry clothes in the morningC. smart-phone can shorten the drying timeD. we should refresh clothes back at home62. What can we learn about the new laundry machines?A. They can tell you when your clothes need washing.B. They can be controlled with a smart-phone.C. They are difficult to operate.D. They are sold at a low price.63. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. The laundry should be frequently checked.B. Lazy people like using such machines.C. Good technologies also cause problems.D. Television may help do the laundry.参考答案60、C A B C完形填空（1）Loving Kindness Is Twice BlessedI felt gloomy (沮丧的) the other day.

This is the kind of statistic that 41 love, but it doesn’t really tell us anything about why so many people like to buy so many things online.Is it because its easy? Is it because of the 42 selection? Is it because we want to feel 43 to others without leaving the house?Taobao was in fact a 44 to ebay’s entrance into the Chinese market in 2003. Jack Ma (马云) knew that he knew China better than the Americans did, and that Taobao could beat ebay at its own game here. He was right, and Jack Ma has helped to 45 the nature of online commerce in China—what it looks like, how it works, and, most 46 , who its users are.T aobao’s aesthetic (美学) is distinctive, and has influenced and inspired competitors in China and around the world. The way it works is also different from other 47 online retailers (零售店) . But the real genius of Taobao lies in its 48 of its users.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.When we think of green buildings, we tend to think of new ones----the kind of modern, solar-paneled masterpieces that make the covers of architecture magazines．But the US has more than 100 million existing homes, and it would be incredibly 51 to tear them all down and 52 them with greener versions．An enormous amount of energy and resources went into the construction of those houses．And it would take an average of 65 years for the 53 carbon emissions (排放) from a(an) __54 _ energy-efficient (节能) home to make up for the 55 lost by destroying an old one．So in the broadest sense, the greenest home is the one that has already been built．But atthe same time, 56 half of US carbon emissions come from heating, cooling and powering our 57 , offices and other buildings．"You can't deal with climate 58 without dealing with existing buildings," says Richard Moe, the president of the National Trust．With some exceptions, the oldest homes tend to be the 59 energy-efficient．Houses built before 1939 use about 50% more energy per square foot than those built after 2000, mainly due to the tiny cracks and gaps that 60 over time and let in more outside 61 .62 , there are a vast number of relatively simple changes that can green older homes, from63 ones like Lincoln's Cottage to your own postwar home．And efficiency upgrades (升级) can save more than just the earth; they can help 64 property owners from rising power 65 .51.

Her daily routine was not fascinating．She did everyt hing from sweeping the floor to cooking the meals．If someone had asked Cinderella, “Are there any kinds of household work t hat you particularly hate?” she probably would have answered, “Why, none, of course．Housework is my duty!" In the real world, however, most people have definite dislikes for certain sorts of household work．Two of these tasks are ironing clothes and washing dishes．Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can b e completed quickly or thoughtlessly. Each piece of clothing mu st be handled individually, so ironing a basket of laundry can ta ke hours! After ironing a piece of clothing with great caution, wh ich-requires smoothing out the fabric, and following the seams （线缝） ,you need to place it on a hanger as soon as possible．If y ou do not follow these directions carefully, it might become wrin kled （有皱纹的） and you have to start over．Perhaps that is why ironing is not a favorite thing to do．It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end．Another household job that many people dislike is washing dish es．Of course, some people claim that this work is no longer a problem because we have dishwashers now! However, no one would argue that dishes, silverware, and especially pots and pa ns washed in a dishwasher don’t come out as clean as they do when washed by hand．For this reason, many of us continues t o wash our dishes by hand, but we are not necessarily happy d oing it．Cleaning dishes is a job that not only takes a lot of energy but also requires the patience to wash and dry them．In add ition, unlike ironing clothes, washing dishes is a thing that usuall y must be done every day．I don't know how Cinderella felt abo ut this particular task, but I believe that most people hate it as m uch as I do．53．Why do most people hate to do clothes - ironing?A．Because it has to be done by one person．B．Becaus e it must be handled skillfully．C．Because it involves careful planning．D．Because it i s time - consuming．54．To avoid ironing the clothes over again, one should ______．A．know how to iron certain clothes material B．spare no care through all the proceduresC．find some proper hangers for the ironed D．pay speci al attention to the seams55．Many people still prefer washing dishes by hand to machin e washing because _____．A．hand - washed dishes are cleanerB．washing dishes by hand is cheaperC．dishwashers are not so easily handledD．some dishes cannot be machine washed56．In which way is ironing different from dishwashing?A．It is not a daily routine．B．It demands less care．C．It requires patience．D．It is not laborious．*********************************************结束Over two hundred years ago, Adam Smith introduced some ide as which brought about a world revolution．If we enjoy a high s tandard of living in modem society, we owe much to this Scottis h economist and philosopher．If we enjoy driving in beautiful ca rs, wearing fashionable shoes, or flying away to distant places f or exciting holidays, we should perhaps pay thanks to the man who made it all possible．What was Adam Smith’s contribution? Like so many ideas whic h have surprising effects, his was a simple one．He watched workers practicing their craft（工艺） of pi11 making．One man would heat the strip of metal, st retch it out, cut off a suitable length, shape it, cool it and finally smooth and shine it．Smith drew attention to the advantages w hich could be gained if these various tasks were performed by d ifferent workers．Let one be responsible for preparing the meta l．Another for stretching and cutting．Another for shaping．An other for finishing．He described the technique as the Division of Labor; in this way workers repeat the same actions again an d again．Smith made the world believe that specialization coul d solve the problem of poverty and want．What was the result?

Her daily routine was not fascinating．She did everyt hing from sweeping the floor to cooking the meals．If someone had asked Cinderella, “A re ther e any kinds of household work that you particularly hate?” she probably would have answered, “Why, none, of course．Housework is my duty!" In the real world, however, most people have d efinite dislikes for certain sorts of household work．Two of these tasks are ironing clothes and washing dishes．Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thoughtlessly. Each piece of clothing must be handled individually, so ironing a basket of laundry can tak e hours! After ironing a piece of clothing with great caution, which-requires smoothing out the fabric, and following the seams （线缝） ,you need to place it on a hanger as soon as possible．If you do not follow these direction s carefully, it might become wrinkled （有皱纹的） and you have to start over．Perhaps that is why ironing is not a favorite thing to do．It call s for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end．Another household job that many people dislike is washing dishes．Of course, some people cla im that this work is no longer a problem because we have dishwashers now! However, no one would argue that dishes, silverware, and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher don’t come out as clean as they do when washed by hand．For this reason, many of us continues t o wash our dishes by hand, but we are not necessarily happy doing it．Cleaning dishes is a job that not only takes a lot of energy but also requires the patience to wash and dry them．In addit ion, unlike ironing clothes, washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day．I don 't know how Cinderella felt about this particular task, but I believe that most people hate it as mu ch as I do．53．Why do most people hate to do clothes - ironing?A．Because it has to be done by one person．B．Because it must be handled skillfully．C．Because it involves careful planning．D．Because it is time - consuming．54．To avoid ironing the clothes over again, one should ______．A．know how to iron certain clothes material B．spare no care through all the procedures C．find some proper hangers for the ironed D．pay special attention to the seams 55．Many people still prefer washing dishes by hand to machine washing because _____．A．hand - washed dishes are cleanerB．washing dishes by hand is cheaperC．dishwashers are not so easily handledD．some dishes cannot be machine washed56．In which way is ironing different from dishwashing?A．It is not a daily routine．B．It demands less care．C．It requires patience．D．It is not laborious．*********************************************结束Over two hundred years ago, Adam Smith introduced some ideas which brought about a world r evolution．If we enjoy a high standard of living in modem society, we owe much to this Scottish economist and philosopher．If we enjoy driving in beautiful cars, wearing fashionable shoes, or flying away to distant places for exciting holidays, we should perhaps pay thanks to the man wh o made it all possible．What was Adam Smith’s contribution?
