2013年高考英语阅读理解专题训练答案

高中英语真题:2013高考英语二轮阅读理解（四月）训练（2）及答案I believe that animals possess greater intelligence than most pe ople think. But plants? I've never considered the possibility of pl ant intelligence. The idea seems absurd.Yet I've had friends argue that plant intelligence might exist. "W hat are the differences between plants and animals?" they ask, and then they argue about certain species that seem to share t he intelligence of both plants and animals.New research suggests that plants communicate via "networks" . Plant communication is not a new idea, and cannot indicate th at its is a kind of intelligence, but it is still interesting.Recent research from Vidi researcher Josef Stuefer at the Radb oud University Nijmegen shows that plants have their own chat systems that they can use to warn each other. Therefore plants are not boring and passive organisms that just stand there waiti ng to be cut down or eaten up. Many plants form internal comm unication networks and are able to exchange information netwo rks and are able to exchange information efficiently.Many herbal plants such as strawberries and clovers (三叶草)naturally form networks.Individual plants remain connected with each other for a certain period of time by means of runners (plant stems that grow alon g the ground and put down roots to form new plants). These co nnections enable the plants to share information with each othe r via internal channels. They are therefore very similar to compu ter networks. But what do plants chat to each other about? Recently Stuefer and his colleagues were the first to prove that clover plants warn each other via the network links if danger is nearby . If one of the plants is attacked by caterpillars (毛虫)，the other members of the network are warned via an internal si gnal. Once warned, the intact (完好无损的)plants strengthen their chemical and mechanical (机体的)resistance so that they are less attractive to advancing cater pillars. Thanks to this early warning system, the plants can stay one step ahead of their attackers. The research has shown that this significantly limits the damage to the plants.Again, I don't believe this reflects intelligence, but it's is certainl y fascinating.17.The author thinks that the plant communication___________. .A. is absolutely a new ideaB. is a sign of plant intelligenceC. is related to animal communicationD.is interesting and fascinating18.Which of the following statements about the research is NO T true?A.Most plants have no chat system and are passive organisms. B.Individual plants can also remain connected with each other. C.The communication between clover plants can protect them fro m damage.D.The research is the first to show how clover plants warn each ot her.19.The author's attitude towards plant intelligence is __________ _____.A. unconcernedB. doubtfulC. positiveD. hopeful20.What's the best title for the passage?A. Does Plant Communication Really Exist?B. Some Discoveries About Clover PlantC. Does Plant Communication Imply Intelligence?D. A New Study on Plant Communication参考答案 17-20 DABC********************************************结束ASo long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and lea rning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that whic h only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to rea d is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless h ours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “read ing cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to d o the impossible.”Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. The y differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to creat e the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for chi ldren to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselve s to read. Teaching is also a public activity: It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is n ot open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest (探索) for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for chi ldren.”When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they ar e, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is elimi nated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create a n environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.41. The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the fir st paragraph is that _______.A. it is one of the most difficult school coursesB. students spend endless hours in readingC. reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD. too much time is spent in teaching about reading42. The teaching of reading will be successful if ________.A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsB. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of re adingC. teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD. teachers can make their teaching activities observable43.

According to the passage, learning to read will no longer bea difficult task when _______.A. children become highly motivatedB. teacher and learner roles are interchangeableC. teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD. reading enriches children’s experience45. The main idea of the passage is thatA. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students le arn to readB. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as po ssibleC. reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD. reading is more complicated than generally believed参考答案 41-45DBBAC********************************************************结束BThe biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terr orist with a gun, but the man with the portable computer in busi ness class. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 1 00 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic in terference. The source of this interference remains unconfirmed , but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable ele ctronic devices such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation(航空) industry, has recommended that all airlines ban such device s from being used during “critical” stages of flight, particularly ta ke-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a to tal ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines pro hibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affe ct an aircraft’s computers. Experts know that portable devices e mit radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerou s or not.The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable (易受损的) to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio s ystem in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, t hough, is the passenger who can’t hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music’s too loud.46. The passage is mainly about ________.A. a new regulation for all airlines.B. the defects of electronic crashesC. a possible cause of aircraft crashesD. effective safety measures for air flight47. What is said about the over 100 aircraft incidents in the past15 years?A. They may have been caused by the damage to the radio sys tems.B. They may have taken place during take off and landing.C. They were proved to have been caused by the passengers’portable computers.D. They were suspected to have resulted from electromagnetic interference.48. Few airlines want to impose a total ban on their passengers using electronic devices because _______.A. they don’t believe there is such a danger as radio interfere nce.B. the harmful effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be proved.C. most passengers refuse to take a plane which bans the use of radio and cassette players.D. they have other effective safety measures to fall back on.49. Why is it difficult to predict the possible effects of electroma gnetic fields on an airplane’s computers?A. Because it is extremely dangerous to conduct such research on an airplane.B. Because it remains a mystery what wavelengths are liable to be interfered with.C. Because research scientists have not been to produce the s ame effects in labsD. Because experts lack adequate equipment to do such research.50. It can inferred from the passage that the author _________.A. is in favor of prohibiting passengers’ use of electronic device s completelyB. has overestimated the danger of electromagnetic interferenc eC. hasn’t formed his own opinion on this problemD. regards it as unreasonable to exercise a total ban during flig ht参考答案 46-50CDBCA************************************************结束CEveryone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little headline said: BOX ER RECEIVES LIFF SENTENCE.Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found gui lty of the murder of Albert Cumming, aged 32, laborer, last July. The jury (陪审团) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending t he most severe punishment to the court. It was, said the judge, a simple case. Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Cumming. When arrested, Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking.Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. As ked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, “Just don't tell my mother.”“It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. “Just don't tell my mother,” said Fee numbly. “And no one did! Oh, G od! My poor, poor Frank!”Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. “Fee , pack you r things. We'll go to see him.”She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stare d as if dead. “I can't go,” she said without a hint of pain, yet mak ing everyone feel that the pain was there. “It would kill him to se e me. I know him so well—his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it's what he wants. We've got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us?”Paddy was still weeping, not for Frank, but for the life which had gone from Fee's face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had alwa ys brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was the cause of her withdrawal from his hea rt and the hearts of his children. Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy's lov e for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was f or Frank.So he said. “Well, Fee, we won't go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to Father Jones and ask hi m to look out for Frank?”The eyes didn't liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. “Yes , Paddy, do that. Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know.”10. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Frank was found guilty of murder because he was a professi onal boxer.B. The family didn't find out what happened to Frank until three years later.C. The jury and the judge disagreed on whether Frank had com mitted murder.D. Frank didn't want his family to find out what happened becau se Paddy disliked him.11. Paddy cried because he thought ______________.A. Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishmentB. Frank should have told Fee what had happenedC. what had happened to Frank was killing FeeD. Frank had always been a man of bad moral character12. “She half-rose before sinking back…” (in Paragraph 6) shows that_______ _______.A. Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand upB. Fee didn't want to upset Paddy by visiting FrankC. Fee couldn't leave her family to go to see FrankD. Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish13.

◆活学活用阅读下面短文，从所给的四个答案中选出最佳选项(2011年广州高三英语调研测试)School phobia is a type of illness which causes students to be afraid to go to school.This condition is most commonly seen in children，typically between the ages of 8－13，and it can be very upsetting，especially if it is allowed to progress.Symptoms include stomach aches，tiredness，shaking，a racing heart and frequent trips to the toilet.This common phobia is associated with a wide variety of causes.Most commonly it is the result of separation anxiety，but it can also be caused by different kinds of stress.A child who has recently moved，suffered a loss，or gone through a divorce may develop school phobia，and phobias can also develop in response to bullying (欺侮)，an unrecognised learning disability，and poor self-image.Understanding the cause of a school phobia is an important step in providing treatment.A child with school phobia usually refuses to go to school，or protests violently.He or she may become physically ill when ordered to school，or pretend to be sick to avoid going.When the child arrives at school，he or she may run away，or develop behavioural problems in class and on the playground.When school is discussed，the child can become impatient，upset or angry.Many techniques can be used to manage school phobia，but research suggests that much more effective treatment is required for school phobia to prevent problems developing in later life.Children with this condition usually benefit from seeing a psychologist or doctor who can help the child and provide assistance to help parents and school officials support the child.As soon as a school phobia is identified，parentsshould take action too.Like other phobias，school phobia gets worse the longer it is left untreated，and it can interfere with a child's success in school.Adjustments can be made at home and in the classroom to help.If bullying is a cause，for example，the bullying situation should be solved.A teacher can meet the child at the door and take him or her to class，and provide support so that the child feels a friendly adult is always available.Changes at home can include supportive language from parents，along with support like assistance with homework.If a child lacks confidence，parents may encourage the child to take up new hobbies that will help them to feel good about themselves.Parents might also talk to their children about their own fears of school and how they got over them，and their own enjoyment of school and school-like activities.By following these methods we can help children to dispel their school phobia.Ⅰ.以约30词概括文章大意_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Ⅱ.根据所读短文，选择最佳选项1．Which of the following topics is NOT discussed in the passage?A．The definition of school phobia.B．The history of school phobia.C．The causes of school phobia.D．The effects of school phobia.2．What is a useful treatment for school phobia according to the passage?A．Parents should allow their children occasional days off.B．Teachers should be stricter with students.C．Children should be helped to develop a sense of achievement.D．Children should be regularly sent to psychologist.3．The underlined word “dispel”(the last paragraph)probably means “________”．A．accept B．realizeC．forget D．overcome4．Which of the following statement might the author agree with?A．School phobia is most often suffered by middle school students.B．School phobia may have bad influence on children's future life if neglected.C．Children with school phobia should not be given medical treatment.D．Most children with school phobia are pretending to be ill.5．What are some of the reasons for school phobia mentioned in the passage?A．Bullying，recent devoice and moving to a new area.B．Learning disability，impatience and poor concentration.C．Stomachache，poor school performance and aggressive teachers.D．Shaking，lack of confidence and few friends.参考答案ⅠThe passage introduces the causes and bad influences of school phobia，which luckily can also be managed and treated by taking some technical measures with the help of parents.(29 words)Ⅱ1．解析：事实细节题。

2013高考英语XX卷阅读理解答案与解析A参考译文：Jimmy是一名汽车修理工，但是几个月前他丢了工作。

虽然他是一个非常热心的人，可他总是害怕去找一份新的工作。

有一天，他终于鼓足勇气决定去参加一个工作面试。

他的面试时间是上午10点，那时候已经到了8：30。

当他本该等着去面试地点的公交车的时候，他看见一个老人很粗暴地踢着自己的汽车轮子。

很明显，他的车坏了。

Jimmy 立刻过去帮了那个老人的忙。

当Jimmy修完汽车的时候，那个老人说：“请允许我开车送你去参加面试，这是我仅能为你做到的了，我坚持这样做。

〞Jimmy接受了他的好意。

到达面试的地方，Jimmy发现有很多求职者在等待面试。

他身上还有一些修完汽车之后残留的油渍，可他却没有时间洗干净或者换一件衬衫。

一个接着一个，那些求职者带着失望的表情离开了面试官的办公室。

最后，面试官叫了他的名字。

当时，面试官正面朝办公室的窗户坐在一个大椅子上。

他边摇晃着椅子边问道：“你真的需要应聘这份工作吗？〞Jimmy的心沉了下去，心里想着：“看我现在的样子，我怎么可能通过面试呢？〞然后面试官转过了椅子，另Jimmy吃惊的是，他就是早上他曾帮助过的那个老人。

原来那个老人就是这家公司的总经理。

“很抱歉让您一直等着，在您还没踏入这间办公室之前，我就决定让你成为我的员工，我非常确信我做出的决定是正确的。

我只是相信你会成为一名可信赖的员工。

恭喜你！〞为他获得的这份新工作，Jimmy坐了下来与老人一起喝了一杯值得享用的咖啡。

题目解析：56.[A]解析：此题为第一篇文章第一道题，是一道细节题，本文亦为记叙文，难度很低，从文章第一段可知Jimmy刚刚丢了工作。

57.[D]解析：此题为一道细节题，根据题文同序定位，在文章第二段可知Jimmy看到一位老人的车坏了，选D。

58.[D]解析：此题为一道细节题，出处在上一道题的后面，老人为了报答Jimmy，故载他一程。

59.[B]解析：此题依旧是细节题，出自文章第三段第一个问号之后，“Jimmy’s heart sank〞，Jimmy的心沉了下去，表明他以为自己失败了。

2013高考英语新课标全国卷单选题答案及解析本次单项选择考试特点：考点经典、语境定调。

考查重点：时态语态(2道)；从句(状从、名从、定从各一)；非谓语动词(3道)；介词，冠词，情态动词以及副词题目各一道。

2013年的新课标卷延续了去年的风格，拿单选题目来说，题干不再有冗杂的文字，言简意赅，放弃了华而不实的题目设计，回归语言基础，同时在题目的设计中强调语法、语言的实用性。

如加入了对基本句式的考查和更多学生在生活中可以用到说到的对话及句子。

可以说无论在内容上还是在务实的角度上比起前几年都有了较大的突破和革新，且难度不小。

这一转变也许反而让考生们措手不及，毕竟学校练习的高频考点与本年度题目设计有一定的出入。

但从单选出题重点来分析，从句、时态、虚拟语气的考查比例都有所下降，甚至连虚拟语气都没考。

常规考点保留情态动词和介词，同时加入副词比较级的考查，再一次表明了考点务实、重视基础这一转变。

同学们今后在学习过程中也要打好基础，不可凭印象盲目做题。

遇到难题应冷静分析，句式类题目从句意和成分角度入手解题，词(动词、代词、介词等)类题目则从句意和该内容基本用法和功能上入手解题，如动词时态要清楚动作发生时间、顺序和主被动等。

另外今年新课标卷考试对考生翻译和对对话情景的理解和感悟要求不低，建议同学在平时训练是加强对这一点的训练。

21. —Why, this is nothing but commonvegetable soup!—______madam. It’s our soup of the day。

A. Let me seeB. So it isC. Don’tmention itD. Neither do I【考点】情景交际【答案】B【解析】本题考查语境感悟能力，A。

让我来看看B。

确实是C。

别提了D。

我也不虽然情景不易，但是四个选项明显风马牛不相及，其余三个放在句中对话都不通顺。

【句意】——怎么，这不就是普通蔬菜汤么？——就是啊，女士。
