高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解4月训练题（9）及答案【2013界广东省三模】Most recently, it's very common in students who need a parent present for job interviews. Naturally, it's easy to blame the stud ents in these situations, but the bigger problem is us. We—as parents—are so eager to shelter our kids that we fail to realize that this in itself is harming them. As the mother of two young sons, I have to remind myself constantly that the biggest responsibility I hav e as a parent is to help them develop the skills needed to live in, to live without me. So, I'll let them fail．I'll let them fail because as long as they are safe and warm in side their comfort zones, they will never grow. And failure along with loss, heartbreak, disappointment, etc.—will be part of growth for them. Call me the anti-tiger mom, but leaving them alone is, my way of helping them b ecome equipped to fit in this world as we know it today. From te rrorism and seemingly endless natural disasters, to our national debt and beyond, if we expect the next generation to stand up to the very real problems of our time, we need to stop feeding the m and start teaching them how to fish.My children now are becoming little masters of compromise, b ut they try to negotiate everything now. It's a small price to help them learn a skill they'll use for the rest of their lives, including when I don't accompany them on job interviews.72. Why do parents accompany their kids on job interviews?A. Because they want to protect their kids from difficulties．B. Because they think they can help them on the questions．C. Because their kids are too shy to attend interviews．D. Because their kids strongly request them to do so．【答案】A【解析】细节理解题。

2013高考英语二轮（阅读理解）珍品训练（09）及答案（******）We find that bright children are not often held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are improved. We feel that there are many dis advantages in streaming pupils, a way to teach pupils in groupsaccording to their ability. It does not pay attention to the fact that children develop at different speed. It can have a bad effect on bloth the bright and not-so-bright children. After all it can be quite discouraging to be at the hottom of the top grade !Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual (智力的) ability. This is only one aspect (方面) of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic (学术理论的) ability. We also value personal qua[ides (品质)and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching helps improve all these aspects of learning.In our classroom, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups, this gives them the chances to learn to cc-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They al- sci learn how to deal with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate (分析和评价), and to comunicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual (个人的) tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is right and suitable. We encourage our pu- pils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively. An advanced pupil can do advanced work; it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to achieve this goal.1. What's the author's attitude towards "mixed-ability teaching"?A. He agrees to it.B. He doubts the truth of it.C. He is very discontent about it.D. He tries to be objective at)out it.答案：A 指导：由第一段第二句“On the contrary，both their knowledSe and experience are improved”可知作者赞同mixed-abilityteaching．2. By "held back", the author meansA. forced to study in the lower classB. made to remain in the same classC. prevented from advancingD. made to fall behind other students答案：C 指导：由第一段第二句中的improved可知。

高中英语真题:2014高考英语阅读理解精英定时训练题（9）及答案【甘肃省武威六中2013模拟题（4）】DScientists are uncovering the secrets of two port cities lost unde r the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, a researcher said yester day.Herakleion and Menouthis were rich and proud cities until some thing reduced them to rubble (碎石) and buried them in the mud beneath 30 feet of sea water, Fr ench underwater explorer Franck Goddio said at the American Geophysical Union conference.“This is a mystery that is ongoing,” said Goddio, a founder of th e European Institute of Marine Archeology, a Paris-based underwater research organization backed by the wealthy Hilti Foundation of Liechtenstein(列支敦士登基金会).The destruction of the twin port cities has haunted Goddio ever since he happened upon the site about 15 miles from Alexandri a while exploring sunken ships from Napoleon’s fleet.Goddio and his group of expert divers, marine archeologists(海洋考古学家) and others, are using high powered vacuums, satellite navig ation systems and sophisticated sonar(声纳) to excavate(挖掘) the sunken cities from underneath a carpet of silt about one meter (three feet) high.Walls of shops, remains of streets and gold artifacts have been found and recovered.Some experts believe that the port cities were destroyed by a s eries of massive earthquakes, much like the quakes scientists b elieve felled Troy(特洛伊城), Jericho and other ancient cities. The uniform direction of th e collapsed columns and walls suggest an earthquake, Goddio said, but no fault lines have been found nearby.Other researchers believe a massive wave, caused by either an offshore earthquake or a distant underwater landslide, could ex plain the catastrophe. Still others think rising seas and a shift in the Nile River outlet doomed the cities.“The argument, as you can see, continues,” Goddio said.68. The reason why the two port cities disappeared under the w aters of Mediterranean Sea is that ______.A. the two port cities were destroyed by huge earthquakesB. the disappearance of the two port cities was caused by underwater landslideC. rising seas and a shift in the Nile River outlet doomed the citi esD. the story didn’t tell us at all69. From the story we can draw a conclusion that _______.A. the two port cities were famous for their wealth and the myst eryB. the two cities belonged to FranceC. some mysterious creatures from other planets destroyed the two citiesD. the American Geophysical Union conference was once held i n one of the two cities70. This article is probably from _______.A. a scientific magazineB. a report to the governmentC. a school text bookD. a scientific report in a newspaper【答案】68-70 DBD【解析】试题分析: 本文报道了人们对法国地中海中的两座城市沉如海底的各种推测。

2014高考英语阅读理解(通用版）考前精讲精练（答案）阅读理解解题指导阅读理解历来都是高考英语试卷中难度最大、区分度最高的题型，它要求考生理解文章的主旨和要义；理解文中的具体信息；根据上下文推断生词的词义；理解文章的基本结构；理解作者的意图、观点和态度等。

下面我们来探讨一下高考阅读理解的解题思路。

一、主旨大意题此类题型主要考查考生的归纳、概括等能力。

一种命题方式是对整篇文章或者某一段落大意的概括,提问方式一般是：What is the text mainly about?/What is the main idea of the text/ the second paragraph?；另一种命题方式是提炼文章的标题，其提问方式一般是：What can be the best title for the text？阅读时,文章的开头、结尾及段落的段首句和段尾句特别重要，因为它们往往包含文章的中心议题。

有时候,文章或段落中没有明确的主题句，需要我们根据所提供的信息归纳出文章或段落的主旨大意。

同时要注意提炼文章的关键词.此外，标题类题目还要追求语言的生动和趣味性。

如：(2013安徽卷B篇）Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving （铺砌）a road can lead to less useable fresh water。

A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes orrivers。

2014高考英语任务型阅读（四川省）考前精讲精练（答案）阅读表达考纲解读及解题指导高考阅读表达把阅读和写作巧妙结合，是一种主客观题相结合的题型，旨在全方位、多角度考查学生的阅读、思维和语言表达能力。

本题型具有以下特点：一、问题设置形式灵活多样，综合考查学生的多种基本能力。

命题涉及标题归纳、意图判断、代词指代、补全内容、问题简答以及结论等，形成对文章全方位、多角度的考查，能全面、客观地反映学生“读、写、思、译”等方面的能力。

二、答题客观性和开放性相结合，突出思维的开放性，给学生提供广阔的思维空间。

要求考生根据短文内容和自己的理解作答，只要符合题目要求，表述准确，就是正确答案。

考生可以充分展示自己的语言表达能力，发挥思维的多样性与开放性。

三、选材要求文章结构严谨，层次分明，信息量大，包含结构复杂的难句，适合命题的多样性。

所选文章一般是一篇具有中等难度的说明文、议论文或应用文。

解题指导下面对阅读表达的命题规律做一探讨，希望对大家备战2014年高考有所帮助。

一、主旨归纳。

这种问题要求在把握好全文或某一段内容的基础上，对文章(或段落)的主旨大意进行归纳。

常用的命题方式有：What is the text mainly about? (no more than x words)What is mainly discussed in the text? (no more than x words)What advice is given in the …paragraph? (no more than x words)大家在进行主旨归纳时，应该首先看一看文章首尾段是否对全文进行了归纳，如果这样，我们通过归纳文章首尾段就能得到文章的主旨；如果上述两种情况都不存在，我们就需要对全文进行归纳总结。

在归纳文章主旨时，一定要注意扣准能够体现文章主旨的关键词。

二、标题归纳。

这种题型非常类似于阅读理解中的标题选择题，即要求考生在整体把握全文的基础上，用最简洁凝练的语言归纳文章的标题。

目录综合类C级： (2)Shark Attack ! 【小心鲨鱼!】 (2)The Travels of Ibn Battuta【伊本白图泰游记】 (3)综合类B级： (5)Income【收入】 (5)I'II Be Bach【我也能成为巴赫】【2014年新增文章】 (6)Oseola McCarty 【老妇人】 (8)综合类A级： (9)To Have and Have Not【逃亡】 (9)Life as a Movie Extra【群众演员的人生】【2014年新增】 (11)综合类C级：Shark Attack ! 【小心鲨鱼!】Craig Rogers was sitting on his surfboard, scanning the distance for his next wave, when his board suddenly stopped moving. He looked down and was terrified to see a great white shark biting the front of his board. "I could have touched its eye with my elbow," says Craig. The shark had surfaced so quietly that he hadn't heard a thing.In his horror and confusion, he waved his arms and accidentally cut two of his fingers on the shark's teeth. He then slid off the opposite side of his surfboard into the water. Then, with Craig in the water and blood flowing from his fingers, the five-meter-long shark simply swam away, disappearing into the water below.Although sharks are often categorized as killers that hunt and eat as many humans as they can, this is factually inaccurate. Sharks very rarely kill humans. A person has a greater chance of being struck by lightning or drowning in a bath than of being killed by a shark. 0nly 74 people have been reported killed by great whites in the last century. But great white sharks can reach six meters in length and weigh 2,200 kilograms or more. With frightening jaws that can hold up to 3,000 teeth arranged in several rows, they could very easily kill and eat a helpless human in the water. Why is it, then, that most people survive attacks by great whites? Shark researchers are trying to comprehend the reasons that allow people to escape without being eaten.The most common explanation is that great whites don't see well. It has been thought that they mistake people for the seals or sea lions which make up a large part of their diet. There is reason to doubt this, however. Recent information shows that great whites can actually see very well. Also, when attacking seals, great whites shoot up to the surface and bite with great force. When approaching humans, however, they most often move in slowly and bite less hard. They soon discover that humans are not a high---fat meal. “They spit us out because we're too bony,” says Aidan Martin, director of Reef Quest Center for Shark Research.Shark researchers like Martin hypothesize that great whites are actually curious animals that like to investigate things. It's possible that they use their bite not only to kill and eat, but also to gather information. Although such an experience is unlucky for people like Craig Rogers, when sharks bite surfboards of other objects or people, they are likely just trying to learn what they are.练习：1. After Craig Rogers fell into the water, the shark __________.A) bit his surfboardB) bit his fingersC) swam awayD) attacked him2. It is difficult for the author to understand why great whites ________.A) often let humans escapeB) kill humansC) have so many teethD) grow to six meters or more3. Which of the following is closest in meaning to make up in line 2 of paragraph 4?A) create.B)are.C)increase.D)depend upon.4. The word their in line 2 of paragraph 4 means __________.A) people'sB) great whites'C) sea lions'D) seals'5. What is the main idea of the forth paragraph?A) Great whites eat low-fat, bony meals more slowly.B) Great whites see well enough to include seals, sea lions, and humans in their diet.C) We now know great whites don't mistake humans for other animals.D) There is reason to doubt that great whites see well enough to attack humans.1. 答案：C2. 答案：A3. 答案：B4. 答案：B5. 答案：CThe Travels of Ibn Battuta【伊本白图泰游记】“I left Tangier, my birthplace, the 13th of June 1325 with the intention of making the pilgrimage [to Mecca]...to leave all my friends both female and male, to abandon my home as birds abandon their nests.” So begins an old manuscript in a library in Paris-the travel journal of Ibn Battuta.Almost two centuries before Columbus, this young Moroccan set off for Mecca, returning home three decades later as one of history's great travelers. Driven by curiosity, he journeyed to remote corners of the Islamic world, traveling through 44 modem countries, three times as far as Marco Polo. Little celebrated in the West, his name is well known among Arabs. In his hometown of Tangier, a square, a hotel, a cafe, a ferry boat, and even a hamburger are named after him.Ibn Battuta stayed in Mecca as a student for several years, but the urge to travel soon took over. In one adventure, he traveled to India seeking profitable employment with the Sultan of Delhi. 0n the way, he described his group being attacked in the open country by 80 men on foot, and two horsemen: “we fought…killing one of their horsemen and about twelve of the foot soldiers…．I was hit by an arrow and my horse by another, but God in his grace preserved me…．We carried the heads of the slain to the castle of Abu Bak'har…and suspended them from the wall.” In Delhi, the sultan gave him the position of judge, based on his prior study at Mecca. But the sultan had an unpredictable character, and Ibn Battuta looked for an opportunity to leave. When the sultan offered to finance a trip to China, he agreed. Ibn Battuta set off in three ships, butmisfortune struck while he was still on the shore. A sudden storm grounded and broke up two ships, scattering treasure and drowning many people and horses. As he watched, the third ship, with all his belongings and slaves—one carrying his child—was carried out to sea and never heard from again.After a lifetime of incredible adventures, Ibn Battuta was finally ordered by the Sultan of Morocco to return home to share his wisdom with the world. Fortunately, he consented and wrote a book that has been translated into numerous languages, allowing people everywhere to read about his unparalleled journeys.练习：1. What is the passage mainly about?A) Visitors to Mecca.B) The adventures of Ibn Battuta.C) Ibn Battuta's character.D) Asian countries of the 14th century.2. Which of the following is closest in meaning to set off for in line 5?A) left to go toB) discussed.C) arrived at.D) decided upon.3. The Sultan of Delhi gave Ibn Battuta a position of judge because _____A) the sultan needed a translator.B) Ibn Battuta had been a judge before.C) Ibn Battuta had studied in Mecca.D) Ibn Battuta had traveled to many countries.4. Which of the following would the writer of this passage most likely agree with？A) Ibn Battuta's journeys were very common for people of that time.B) Ibn Battuta's stories are probably not true.C) Ibn Battuta's journey was less important than Marco Polo's.D) Ibn Battuta should be better known in the West today.5. Why did Ibn Battuta finally return to his home?A) He was tired of traveling.B) He didn't have any more money.C) He feared the Sultan of Delhi.D) The Sultan of Morocco asked him to return.1. 答案：B2. 答案：A3. 答案：C4. 答案：D5. 答案：D综合类B级：Income【收入】Income may be national income and personal income. Whereas national income is defined as the total earned income of all the factors of production—namely, profits, interest, rent, wages, and other compensation for labor, personal income may be defined as total money income received by individuals before personal taxes are paid. National income does not equal GNP(Gross National Product)because the factors of production do not receive payment for either capital consumption allowances or indirect business taxes, both of which are included in GNP. The money put aside for capital consumption is for replacement and thus is not counted as income. Indirect taxes include sales taxes, property taxes, and excise taxes that are paid by businesses directly to the government and so reduce the income left to pay for the factors of production. Three-fourths of national income goes for wages, salaries, and other forms of compensation to employees.Whereas national income shows the income that the factors of production earn, personal income measures the income that individuals or households receive. Corporation profits are included in national income because they are earned. Out of these profits, however, corporation profit taxes must be paid to government, and some money must be put into the business for expansion. Only that part of profits distributed as dividends goes to the individual; therefore, out of corporation profits only dividends count as personal income. The factors of production earn money for social security and unemployment insurance contributions, but this money goes to government(which is not a factor of production., not to individuals. It is therefore part of national income but not part of personal income.On the other hand, money received by individuals when they collect social security or unemployment compensation is not money earned but money received. Interest received on government bonds is also in this category, because much of the money received from the sale of bonds went to pay for war production and that production no longer furnishes a service to the economy.The money people receive as personal income may be either spent or saved. However, not all spending is completely voluntary. A significant portion of our income goes to pay personal taxes. Most workers never receive the money they pay in personal taxes, because it is withheld from their paychecks. The money that individuals are left with after they have met their tax obligations is disposable personal income. Disposable income can be divided between personal consumption expenditures and personal savings. It is important to remember that personal saving is what is left after spending.练习：1. This passage is mainly about _______。
