When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters,and we saw each other on special times - like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes,and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came ba ck,stamped “Address Unknown"。
I had no idea about how to find Linda.Over the years,I missed Linda very much。
I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren。
And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died。
There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.One day, I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of ayoung woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman - Linda’s married name。

[键入文字]2014年高三英语阅读理解训练(含答案)2014年高三英语阅读理解训练(含答案) 2014高考英语阅读理解巩固精品题练习(17)及答案 阅读理解 Violin prodigies (神童), I learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regions. Most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the worlds greatest violinists the reason for this phenomenon. It is very clear, he told me. They were all Jews and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world. They were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage. As a result, every Jewish parents dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West. Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field to nurture (培育) talent. Nowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. In Japan, a most competitive society, with stronger discipline than ours, says Isaac Stern, children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. When Western music came to Japan after World War II, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well. The Koreans and Chinese as we know, are1。

2014高考英语阅读理解巩固精品题练习(13)及答案阅读理解----I told my friend Graham that I often cycle two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route.He replied, "You mean fortunately."He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.My attitude to the hill has now changed.I used to grumble as I approached it but now I tell myself the following.This hill will exercise my heart and lungs.It will help me to lose weight and get fit.It will mean that I live longer.This hill is my friend.Finally I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercise bicycles when I call get the same value for free.I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.Problems are there to be faced and overcome.We cannot achieve anything with an easy life.Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree.Her activism and writing proved inspirational.She wrote?" Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved."One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity (逆境).From time to time we all face hardships, problems, accidents, afflictions and difficulties.Some are of our making but many confront us through no fault of our own.While we cannot choose the adversity we can choose our attitude towards it.Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs cut off following a flying accident.He was deter-mined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aces in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans.He was an inspiration to others during the war.He said, "Don't listen to any-one who tells you that you can't do this or that.That's nonsense.Make up your mind, you'll never use crutches(拐杖)or a stick, then have a go at everything.Go to school, join in all the games you can.Go anywhere you want to.But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible."The biographies (传记)of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced.The common thread is th at they did not become depressed.They chose their attitude.They chose to be positive.They took on the challenge.They won.Nevertheless, there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity.57.Which of the following is true according to the author of the passage?A.Climbing hills on bicycles is the best way to fake exercise.B.People are silly to pay to go to the gym.C.Those who want to achieve success cant expect to live all easy life.D.People's attitude towards adversity is the only factor that determines whether they will succeed.58.By quoting what Douglas Bader said, the author intends to tell us"________."A.Failure is the mother of Success.B.A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.C.If you venture nothing, you will have nothing.D.Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.59.Following this passage, the author will further talk about_____.A.how his friend helped him to change his attitude towards the adversity he facedB.what steps to take to change your attitude towards the adversity you faceC.what great people have in commonD.why it is important to keep optimistic in face of adversity60.Which of the following can best function as the title of the passage?A.Face adversity with a smile B.Different attitudes towards adversityC.Nothing is impossible D.Life is full of adversity参考答案C8[2013·浙江卷] CThe baby monkey is much more developed at birth than the human baby. Almost from themoment it is born, the baby monkey can move around and hold tightly to its mother. During the first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto almost any large, warm, and soft object in its environment, particularly if that object also gives it milk. After a week or so, however, the baby monkey b egins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on “mother”—the real mother or the mother-substitute (母亲替代物).During the first two weeks of its life warmth is perhaps the most important psychological (心理的) thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby. The Harlows, a couple who are both psychologists, discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mother-substitutes—one covered with cloth and one made of bare wire. If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature, the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother. However, if the wire model was heated, while the cloth model was cool, for the first two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mother-substitutes as their favor ites. Thereafter they switched and spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother.Why is cloth preferable to bare wire? Something that the Harlows called contact(接触) comfort seems to be the answer, and a most powerful influence it is. Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers' skins, putting themselves in as close contact with the parent as they can. Whenever the young animal is frightened, disturbed, or annoyed, it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body. Wire doesn't “rub” as well as does soft cloth. Prolonged (长时间的) “contact comfort” with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk.According to the Harlows, the basic quality of a baby's love for its mother is trust. If the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother, the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be. It screams in terror and curls up into a furry little ball. If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom, the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life. After a few minutes of contact comfort, it obviously begins to feel more secure. It then climbs down from the mother-substitute and begins to explore the toys, but often rushes back for a deep embrace (拥抱) as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is well. Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding onto its “mother”.50.Psychologically, what does the baby monkey desire most during the first two weeks of itslife?A. Warmth.B. Milk.C. Contac t.D. Trust.51.After the first two weeks of their life, baby monkeys prefer the cloth mother to the wire mother because the former is ________.A. larger in sizeB. closer to themC. less frightening and less disturbingD. more comfortable to rub against52.What does the baby monkey probably gain from prolonged “contact comfort”?A. Attention.B. Softness.C. Confidence.D. Interest.53.It can be inferred that when the baby monkey feels secure, ________.A. it frequently rushes back for a deep embrace when exploring the toysB. it spends more time screaming to get rewardsC. it is less attracted to the toys though they are interestingD. it cares less about whether its mother is still around54.The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A. give the reasons for the experimentB. present the findings of the experimentC. introduce the method of the experimentD. describe the process of the experiment【要点综述】这是一篇说明文。

But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People sho w their good manners by turning their backs on others while the y eat.What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you.

We have good manners to show that we __________.A . are different from other peopleB . don’t want other people to worry usC . begin all manners in the same wayD . want to be friends with other people参考答案--------71—75 BDCDD阅读理解-----(A)Sports shoes that out whether their owner has enough exercise to warrant time in front of the television have been devised in t he .The shoes—named Square Eyes—contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wire less transmitter passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing tim e the wearer deserves, based on the day’s efforts.The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swa n, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University to , . “We looked at current issues and childho od overweight really stood out,” she says. “And I wanted to tack le that with my design.”Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further ti me in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps. Swan calculated how exercise should translate totelevision time using the recommended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time.Existing pedometers (计步器) normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep cou nt of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat . “It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort,” she says. “That w as one of my main design considerations.”( ) 1. According to Swan, the purpose of her design project is to________.A. keep a record of the steps of the wearerB. deal with overweight among teenagersC. enable children to resist the temptation of TVD. prevent children from being tricked by TV programs( ) 2. Which of the following is true of Square Eyes shoes?A. They regulate a child’s evening TV viewing time.B. They determine a child’s daily pocket money.C. They have raised the hot issue of overweight.D. They contain information of the receiver.( ) 3. What is stressed by health experts in their suggestion?A. The exact number of steps to be taken.B. The precise number of hours spent on TV.C. The proper amount of daily exercise and TV time.D. The way of changing steps into TV watching time.( ) 4. Compared with other similar products, the new design ___ _____.A. makes it difficult for lazy teenagers to cheatB. counts the wearer’s steps through shakingC. records the sudden movement of the wearerD. sends teenagers’ health data to the receiver( ) 5. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Smart Shoes Decide on Television TimeB. Smart Shoes Guarantee More ExerciseC. Smart Shoes Measure Time of ExerciseD. Smart Shoes Stop Childhood Overweight71. B 这是一道推断题。
2014高考英语阅读理解巩固精品题练习(5)及答案阅读理解-------【细节理解题】常见错误类型:(1)张冠李戴。
把文章作者的观点与他人的观点混淆起来,题干问的是作者的观点,选项中出现的却是他人的观点;或者题干问的是他人的观点,却把作者的观点放到选项中去。
或者是选项的答案并非是题干中主语的行为或观点,而是文中其他人物的行为或观点。
(2)扩缩范围。
英语文章为了表达准确、严密,很注意对范围的限定,有时通过加上almost all,nearly,more than,normally,usually等词对文意加以限制,“扩缩范围”干扰法就是通过改变或去掉限制性词语,将信息中的范围、程度、色彩等改变,使该选项看似正确,实际上却是错误的。
(3)无中生有。
干扰项往往是生活的基本常识和普遍接受的观点,但在原文中并无相关的信息支持点,这种选项的设置往往与问题的设问毫不相干。
此外,干扰项也可能就是与所阅读的文章内容没有任何联系。
(4)偷梁换柱。
干扰项用了与原文相似的句型结构和大部分相似的单词,却在不易引人注意的地方换了几个词汇,造成句意的改变。
(5)文不对题。
这类题最不容易辨别,选项中的描述与原文完全一致,确属原文中的一个细节,这时要回到题干,看该选项是否能回答题干所提的问题。

2014高考英语阅读理解巩固练习精品题(33)及答案阅读理解(共1 5小题;每小题2分,满分30分)【江苏省常州市武进区2013模拟】AEvery time Lionel Messi breaks a re cord, it seems appropriate to compare him to the legends that came before him.In 2012, he rewrote soccer history on multiple occasions, and his latest record came when he scored his 86th goal of the calendar year, breaking Gerd Muller’s previous mark, before wrapping up the year with 91 goals.All statistics indicate that Messi is currently the best player in the world, and that he will go down in history as the top footballer of his generation. But when he is judged against all-time greats like Pele and Diego Maradona, he still has work to do.We don’t know whether the Barcelona striker will have another year in which he records more than 90 goals, but he must still sustain(维持)a similar level of production for the next several seasons.Messi has already taken part in three of Barcelona’s victorious Champions League(冠军联赛)campaigns, and he played an important role in two of them. In order to firmly establish himself as the greatest club football player in history, he must win the tournament a few more times.Most importantly, the Argentine(阿根廷人)needs to win on the international stage. Regardless of what Messi does for Barcelona, his legacy will be incomplete if he cannot win the World Cup with Argentina.Both Pele and Maradona led their countries to the top of international soccer during their ca reers, and Messi’s performances for his country have been severely disappointing.While he was still a teenager in 2006 —and his lackluster(平淡的)showing is excusable due to his youth—he cannot brush off the disappointment that characterized Argentina’s performance in 2010.But the 4-0 loss to Germany in the 2010 World Cup Quarter Final seems to have sparked Messi. He scored 12 times for Argentina last year, and the next World Cupcould finally be Messi’s breakout performance in blue and white stripes.Due to all of his accomplishments, it is easy to forget that the extraordinary footballer is just 25 years old. If he can avoid injury or lengthy slumps(低潮状态)until his speed and skills start to decline due to age, he may continue to break records and win trophies.56.

C7[2013·安徽卷] BUsing too much water or throwing rubbish into our river s 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 usable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers.It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave,the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages(短缺). Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱) than areas with more rainfall,but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference,too. In the United States,a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live,but there's a lot we can do to lower the number.You can take steps to save water in your home.To start with,use the same glass for your drinking water all day.Wash it only once a day.Run your dishwasher (洗碗机)only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.60.Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater?A.Using river water.B.Throwing batteries away.C.Paving parking lots.D.Throwing rubbish into lakes.61.What can be inferred from the text?A.All water shortages are due to human behavior.B.It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs.C.There is much we can do to reduce family size.D.The average family in America makes proper use of water.62.The last paragraph is intended to ________.A.show us how to fix leaks at homeB.tell us how to run a dishwasherC.prove what drinking glass is best for usD.suggest what we do to save water at home63. The text is mainly about ________.A.why paving roads reduces our waterB.how much we depend on water to liveC.why droughts occur more in dry climatesD.how human activity affects our water supply【要点综述】人类活动对地球水资源供给的影响巨大,人类应该通过调整自身的活动方式来改变自身的生存环境。
