高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解基础全程训练（12）及答案较难题目特训：科普知识类People who are taking aspirin regularly to thin their blood and a re about to undergo coronary artery bypass surgery (冠状动脉旁路搭桥术) are usually to stop the aspirin a week before the operation – but they could be better off if they keep taking it.Taking aspirin up to the day coronary artery bypass grafting (移植) is performed seems to speed lung function recovery afterwa rds, without increasing the risk of bleeding significantly, accordi ng to a report from Israel.Release of a substance called thromboxane (血栓素) is associated with lung injury after heart bypass grafting, Dr Rabin Gerrah at Assuta Medical Center in Tel Aviv and his colle agues explained in the medical journal Chest. Aspirin is believe d to inhibit release of thromboxane, so Gerrah’s group theorize d that the administration of aspirin until the day of the surgery c ould improve outcomes.They therefore followed 14 patients who took 100 milligrams ofaspirin daily until the day of the surgery and 18 who stopped tak ing aspirin at least 7 days before the surgery.Those who continued with their aspirin had significantly lower th romboxane in fluid around the heart, better oxygen levels in thei r blood and spent less time on a ventilator(呼吸器) than the group who discontinued taking aspirin.On the other hand, the need for blood transfusions was no diffe rent between the groups, indicating that bleeding complications were no worse with aspirin.The researchers had excluded patients who had suffered a hea rt attack and those with heart failure because patients like these have a higher level of thrombaxane. “They will probably benefit even more than its inhibition.”Based on their findings, Ger rah’s team recommends that aspiri n therapy(治疗) not be discontinued before coronary artery bypass surgery.55. From the passage we know that_______.A. doctors usually get people who will have coronary artery byp ass surgery to stop taking aspirin 7 days before the operationB. aspirin is believed to increase release of thromboxaneC. taking aspirin up to the day coronary artery bypass grafting i s performed seems to slow lung function recovery afterwardsD. patients suffering a heart attack have a lower level of thromb oxane56. The purpose of the passage is to introduce to us that _____ ____.A. aspirin can make for release of thromboxaneB. aspirin is useful for patients suffering a heart attackC. different ways turn out to be the same resultD. aspirin may improve recovery after heart bypass57. According to Dr Rabin Gerrah, patients who will have heart bypass surgery should _______.A. stop taking aspirin before the surgeryB. take aspirin as much as they like until the day of the surgeryC. be allowed to take 100 milligrams of aspirin daily until the da y of the surgeryD. take aspirin after the heart bypass operation58. What does the underlined word “inhibit” in paragraph 3 mea n?A. to become larger or better than normalB. to make something happen more slowly than normalC. to cause to be nervous or embarrassedD. to improve something in poor condition【参考答案】4.55-58 ADCB阅读理解-----AMany people eventually get round to trading in their first car. Bu t not Mike Harrison. He loves his 1931 black Bentley sports car so much that he’s still driving it – 54 years after be bought it.Mr Harrison was 20 when he paid £150 (about £3,000 now) for the car after passing his test in 1956. It h ad already done 85,000 miles and he has since driven it a furth er 100,000, yet the car still runs like clockwork.It is now one of only three left in the country and is worth £250, 000. Despite its value, Mr Harrison, 74, says he would never sel l the car “which has been my best friend and part of my family a ll my life”.Mr Harrison courted his wife Jenny in it during the early sixties and it was their family car when children Caroline, now 46, and Ben, 42, came along. Even when he took a job as an advertisin g executive which came with the company car of his choice, Mr Harrison kept the Bentley.He said: 'How many people still have their first car these days w hen everything is so disposable? But it is a real eye-catcher. It has something that modern cars just don't have - styl e and character. 'I still drive it most days, even though it only do es about 15 miles to the gallon!' Petrol was just six shillings (30 p) a gallon when Mr Harrison bought the Bentley, which had a t op speed of 120mph.He has spent thousands of pounds on repairs over the years bu t has kept the bodywork in good condition himself, hand-painting the underneath and spraying the black panels of the bo dywork.For decades the Bentley was a regular sight on the roads near Mr Harrison's home in , Surrey. He now uses it as a runaround after retiring to Whitney-on-Wye, Herefordshire.Mrs Harrison, 71, said: “It was a nuisance(累赘) keeping it in tip-top order with me helping out with the repairs by passing Mike t he spanners the whole time. But I wouldn't have changed any o f it --- I feel like a Queen every time I'm in it.”1. When Mike Harrison bought his black Bentley sports car, it w as .A. a hand – made carB. a second – hand carC. one of only three leftD. unique in style答案解析：答案为B。

2014高考英语阅读理解基础训练极品题（1）及答案AA sign can be found in the front yard of a house in the US。

The people living here want to let their dog play outside and ensure it won’t run into the street。

So, they hire a company to set up an “invisible fence”，an electric wire buried in the ground around the yard。

The dog wears a special collar and when it walks near to the “fence”，the wire will send out a small shock. The dog quickly learns to stay away from the edge of the yard. As it says at the bottom of the sign，the fence will keep your dog “safe" （away from the street) and “at home” (contained inside the yard)。

The small word “BRAND” printed in blue means that “Invisible Fence” is registered as the company’s brand name。

Similarly，the “TM" printed after “your dog safe at home” stands for “trade mark”，a slogan registered specifically to one company.1。

2014高考英语阅读理解基础极品训练题(1）及答案阅读理解——--————--—CLike fine food，good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste to the last。

And good writers，like good cooks，do not suddenly appear full – blown。

Quite the opposite，just as the cook has to undergo a particular training, mastering the skills of his trade，the writer must sit at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose--—school work, matters of business, or purely social communication.You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort，the more effective the writing, and the more rewarding。

There are still some faraway places in the world where you might find a public scribe（文书) to do your business or social writing for you, for money。

There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note to work from. But for most of us，if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves.We have to write school papers，business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put words to papers。

2014高考英语阅读理解根底训练极品题〔9〕与答案A“People should have one meat-free day a week if they want to make a personal and effective sacrifice that would help deal with climate change,〞the world’s leading authority on global warming has told The Observer.Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said that people should then go on to reduce their meat consumption even further.Pachauri, who was re-elected the panel’s chairman for a second six-year term last week, said diet change was important because of the huge greenhouse gas emissions (排放) and other environmental problems associated with raising cattle and other animals. “It was relatively easy to change eating habits compared to changing means of transport,〞 he said.The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation has estimated that meat production accounts for nearly a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. These are produced during the production.For example, ruminants (反刍动物), particularly cows, give offa gas called methane, which is 23 times more effective as a global warming agent than CO2.Pachauri can expect some opposite responses from the food industry to his advice, though last night he was given unexpected support by Masterchef presenter and restaurateur John Torode. “I have a little bit and enjoy it,〞said Torode.“Too much for any person is bad. But there’s a bigger issue here: wherethe meat comes from. If we all bought British and stopped buying imported food, we’d save a huge amount of carbon emissions.〞Professor Robert Watson, the chief scientific adviser for the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs, said government could help educate people aboutthe benefits of eating less meat, but it should notregulate.“Eating less meat would help, there’s no question about that,〞Watson said.However, Chris Lamb, head of marketing for pig industry group BPEX, said the meat industry had been unfairly targeted and was working hard to find out which activities had the biggest environmental impact and reduce them. “Some ideas were contradictory,〞 he said. “For example, one solution to emissions from cattle and other animals was to keep them indoors, but this would damage animal welfare.Climate change is a very young science and our view is there are a lot of simple solutions being proposed.〞1. What is directly related to global warming?A. Consumption of meat.B. Growth of cattle.C. Methane from ruminants.D. Processing of meat.2. Who holds a view opposite to the others’ in the passage?A. Rajendra Pachauri.B. John Torode.C. Robert Watson.D. Chris Lamb.3. It is implied in the passage that _____.A. we should try to keep away from cattleB. ruminants should not be left outdoorsC. the meat industry will soon close downD. we must do our duty to save the earth4. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Less meat, slower global warmingB. More animals, more greenhouse gasC. Less imported food, better our environmentD. Greater diet change, smaller climate change【参考答案】1—4、CDDA阅读理解-------B(2013·合肥市二模，C)Traditional businessmen feel worried that growing ecommerce will reduce their share of the market.According to a survey, 90% of some people's purchases are made on the computer. As they find that by being able to go online and choose the things that they need to choose, and have them delivered right to their doorsteps, they could no longer be bothered with driving, the crowds, the noise of that, and they usually get a better selection.Cornell University Marketing Professor, MeLaughlin says traditional stores can keep their customers by offering goods like clothing, which customers may want to see and try on before purchasing, as well as items that are difficult to ship. He says some traditional stores are also pleasing customers with services that set up or repair computers and electronics.Traditional stores also offer a social experience that some shoppers enjoy. There is still a lot of emotion in the buying decision that takes place. Oftentimes, you ne ed that last sense of “this is exactly what I want〞 before you part with money. And you can't always get that online. It's a rather cold process.As more and more people have Internet access and smart phones, online commerce is likely to continue its growth here in the United States and in other countries.文章大意：本文为一篇议论文。

高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解基础精品练习题（2）及答案(2011·湖北卷，C)In today's throwaway society，dealing with the city's growing mountain of waste is an increasin g challenge for the city council(市议会)．Recently, Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of(处理)about 250,000 million tons of waste a year. Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner—largely through encouraging recycling—its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have th e ability to deal with it.The European Union(EU) has issued a new policy，regulating how such mountains of waste are to be disposed of. The five councils (Edinburgh，East Lothian, West Lothian，Midlothian and Borders) face fines around ￡18 million a year fr om 2013 if they don't increase recycling levels and rely less on l andfill.With this in mind，the councils got together with the idea of building a large inciner ator plant (垃圾焚烧厂)to burn half of the waste produced in their districts.But this pl an fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK gover nment waste policy which required that no more than 25% of th e city's waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025.After the plan was abandoned，a private company which already transported millions of tons of the city's waste by train to a landfill site near Dunbar，offered an alternative solution when it suggested opening a hug e waste site near Portobello.Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015，it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh Council to accept the suggestion.But soon they turned it down—after 700 local objections reached them—because it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making l oud noise through heavily populated areas.That still leaves the council with a problem.By 2013，only 50% of 1995 levels of waste will be allowed to be sent to la ndfill.Even if recycling targets are met，there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up.Due t o this，Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an incinerator plant as time to find a solution is f ast running out.回收利用曾是最绿色的垃圾处理方式。

2014高考英语阅读理解基础精品练习题（4)及答案（201*·新课标卷,C）Cassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husband's income. So this year she did something more than a hobby：She planted vegetables in her yard。

AThere was once a rich old abbot (男修道院院长) in England who lived a very rich life. When King John, who was the worst king that England ever had, heard of the way in which the abbot lived, he decided to stop it. So he sent for the old man and said, “Your fault is clear, and unless you can answer me three questions within two weeks, your head shall be cut off, and all your money shall be mine. Firstly, you must tell me just how long I shall live. Secondly, you must tell me how long I shall ride round the whole world, and lastly, you shall tell me what I think.”The abbot went to Oxford and Cambridge for help but not one of the teachers in the great schools could. At last, sad and sorrowful, he rode towards home. Then he met his shepherd and told him all that had happened.“Cheer up, good master. I think I can help you out of your trouble.”The shepherd dressed himself up with great care and looked just like the abbot. Then he went to the king.“How long shall I live?” “You will live until the day that you die, and not one day longer.”“How long shall I ride round the world?” “You must rise with the sun, and you must ride with the sun until it rises again the next morning. As soon as you do that, you will find that you have ridden round the world in twenty-four hours.”“What do I think?” “You think that I am the abbot. But, to tell you the truth, I am only his poor shepherd, and I come to beg your pardon for him and for me.”The king laughed long. “Very well then, you have won the old abbot a free pardon from King John for this joke.”36.
