The world is full of 46 stamp albums and unfinished models, each standing as a monument to someone’s 47 interest. When parents bring home a pet, their child 48 bathes it and brushes its fur. Within a short time, however, the 49 of caring for the animal is handed over to the parents. Adolescents enter high school with great 50 but are soon looking forward to 51 . The same is true of the young adults going to college.

高中英语真题:2014高考英语完形填空、阅读理解精品系列（12）含答案AThe Child Ego StateThe Child ego state is a set of behaviors, thoughts and feelings which are replayed from our own childhood.Perhaps the boss calls us into his or her office, we may immedi ately get a churning in our stomach and wonder what we have done wrong. If this were explored we might remember the time t he head teacher called us in to tell us off. Of course, not everyt hing in the Child ego state is negative. We might go into someo ne’s house and smell a lovely smell and remember our grandm other’s house when we were little, and all the same warm feelin gs we had at six years of age may come flooding back.The Child ego states are constantly being updated. For exampl e, we may meet someone who gives us the permission we nee ded as a child, and did not get, to be fun and joyous. We may w ell use that person in our imagination when we are stressed to r esist our old ways of thinking that we must work longer and longer hours to keep up with everything. We might ask ourselves “I wonder what X would say now.” Then on hearing the new perm issions to relax and take some time out, do just that and then re turn to the work renewed and ready for the challenge. Afterward s, rather than blaming ourselves for what we did or did not do, what tends to happen is that we automatically start to give ours elves new permissions and take care of ourselves. Alternatively, we might have had an extremely unpleasant expe rience yesterday which goes into the Child ego state as an anti que memory that stands in the way of our growth. Positive expe riences will also go into the Child ego state as antique memorie s. The positive experiences can then be drawn on to remind us that positive things do happen.The process of analyzing personality in terms of ego states is c alled structural analysis. It is important to remember that ego st ates do not have an existence of their own. They are concepts t o enable understanding. Therefore it is important to say “I want some fun” rather than “My Child wants some fun.” We may be i n our Child ego state when we say this, but saying “I” reminds u s to take responsibility for our actions.1. The writer uses two examples in Paragraph 2 in order to ____ _.A. support the idea in Paragraph 1B. explain whywe become nervousC. prove the Child ego state is negativeD. introduce the point of Paragraph 32. By asking “I wonder what X would say now”, we intend to ___ _______.A. blame ourselvesB. accept challengesC. keep up with everythingD. avoid stress3. According to the passage, the Child ego state __________.A. shows one’s wisdomB. influences on e’s actionsC. limits one’s thoughtsD. exists in one’s childho od4. The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to ___ _______.A. structural analysisB. “My Child wants some fu n”C. the Child ego stateD. “I want some fun”*************************BThe Cave Crawler mining robotWhy do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world? It’s an increasingly urgent question,given the recent high-profile(引人注目的)mining accidents in Sago, W. Va., and Huntington, Utah.A small group of engineers and robotics experts envision(展望)a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mini ng work..One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Carnegie-Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. It was called Groundhog and it looked like a golf cart. It used lasers to “see” in dark tunn els and ma p abandoned mines—some of the most dangerous work in the business.The latest prototype is called Cave Crawler. It’s a bit smaller tha n Groundhog, and even more advanced. It can take photos and video and has sensors mounted that can detect the presence o f dangerous gases. Incredibly, the robot has a real sense of logi c. If it comes across an obstacle it gets momentarily confused, i t has to t hink through the process and where to go next, and sometimes it throws a fit just lik e a real person.The biggest obstacle, though, is cost. The original research proj ect was federally funded, but that money has dried up, and it’s not clear where future funding will come from. Partly for that rea son, and partly because of advances in safety, mining is not ne arly as dangerous as it was in the past. Since 1990, fatalities ha ve declined by 67 percent, and injuries by 51 percent, accordin g to the National Mining Association.Someexperts predict that robots in mines will serve much of the s ame function that they do in the automotive industry. The robots do the most repetitive and dangerous jobs, but don’t eliminate t he need for human workers.5.The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog mainly because .A. it can map abandoned minesB. the robot has a r eal sense of logicC. it can see in the dark tunnelD. it’s a b it smaller than Groundhog6.We can infer from the last paragraph that .A. the mine robots will have a very bright futureB. robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industryC. there will be no need for human workers in minesD. robots in mines have a long way to go7. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. High-profile mining acci dents in America.B. The development of robot.C. Could robots replac e humans in mines?D.

During the interview they smiled and repeate d their disbelief at what was happening to them. To their surpris e, their movie won the first place in the Oscars. When the two r eceived the award, it was late morning in the children’s home ci ty of Mumbai, where their family, friends and many fellow reside nts of the slums watched the results from Hollywood."I don’t really know what the Oscars are," Rubina’s mother said. "I’m just glad my daughter looks happy, though she told me sh e missed Indian food.""Our children lead a dog’s life," Rubina’s mother said, pointing a t the rubbish everywhere, the open drains (下水道) and the lack of education opportunities.In a few days they will be back in Mumbai and back in the slum s. Fortunately, according to media reports, the movie’s director, Danny Boyle, has promised to help the children he chose from t he slums go to a proper school.The two don’t need to worry about their daily lives because of th e Oscar success of Slumdog Millionaire.

Follow these safety tips t o keep skating safe and fun.Step 1: Gear up!Even before you put on your skates, put on all your safety gear （护具）.Step 2: Buckle up!Strap（绑紧）on your skates. Make sure they fit well and are snugly（紧贴）around your ankles. This helps your ankles stay strong and stra ight.Step 3: Fall down!You probably do not usually try to fall. But it is good to practice f alling on skates. Fall forward onto your knee pads. Put out your hands and let your wrist guards hit the ground. See? Are you su rprised that it doesn’t hurt?Practice falling until it is easy to fall forward and get up again. If you are not afraid to fall, you will try new things. Knowing how t o fall will help you be a better skater and find your balance. Wh en you can stay balanced, you won’t fall as much.Step 4: Stop!Make sure you can stop on your skates. The quickest and safes t is probably the brake stop. The brake is usually on the back of the right skate.The brake stop:Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Let your ri ght skate roll a little forward. Bend your knees as if you are sitti ng down. Then press your right heel down hard. This will make your brake pad drag on the ground until you stop.The T stop:Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Then turn your right foot out so the toes are pointing to your right. Drag yo ur right skate. Let the wheels drag on the ground until you come to a stop.Another way to stop is to run or jump onto the grass.Step 5: Roll around!Find a flat, smooth place to practice. Do not skate in streets. Pa rks and playgrounds are good places to practice. Look for “No skating” signs to make sure you can skate there.64. According to the article, which of these steps are most impo rtant for a new skater?A. Learn to fall and stop safely.B. Find a class an d skate fast.C. Relax and have fun.D. Buy expensive gear and skates.65. In the step right after “Buckle up!” you should practice how t o _____________.A. skate fastB. brakeC. fall safelyD. put on gear66.

Most adults can remember their first stuffed（填充玩具）bear, and over the decades these toys have become nearly a s ymbol of their childhood. However, children are not the only one s with whom these toys have become popular, as many adults make it a habit to collect these toys as well.The Teddy Bear first became popular during the early 20th cent ury and was associated with then President Theodore Roosevel t. The story can date back to a hunting trip that President Roos evelt had taken where he was invited to be the one to shoot a bl ack bear that had been tied to a tree. Being a crazy outdoors lo ver and hunter, Roosevelt refused to kill the animal because he believed that shooting the helpless bear was unsportsmanlike a nd wrong. This story quickly spread through newspapers across the country, and in the end inspired the introduction of a stuffed toy called “Teddy’s bear”.These toys became popular soon after first introduced, and within ten years, they were being produced by dozens of companie s around the world. Within a generation, these stuffed bears we re “the” toy to have, and have always been within children’s toy boxes ever since.They are most often mass-produced in factories in order to keep up with the high demand. However, there are still companies that take great pride in their handmade designs; and while handmade teddy bears are often preferred, they are also generally more expensive than their m ass-produced ones.Today, these bears and other similar toys generate well over a billion dollars a year in profits for the companies that make the m. Walk through just about any toy store in America and you wil l find dozens of different teddy bears lining the shelves.68.

So, too, are health problems linked to b eing overweight.The WHO says a major reason for the rising obesity rates is an increase in imported foods. It says many Pacific islanders have replaced their traditional diets of vegetables and fruits with imported processed foods.Dr.Temu Waqanivalu is with the World Health Organization’s S outh Pacific office in Suva, Fiji.He says many of the imported pr oducts lack nutritional value.Temu Waqanivalu said: “In some of the places, you’d be amaze d to see how a bottle of Coke is cheaper than a bottle of water.I think that represents the kind of offenvironment we’ve created that doesn’t really encourage or make lifestyle choices an easy choice for the population.”And a lack of physical activity among many Pacific islanders onl y adds to the obesity problem.The WHO says more than 50 percent of the population is overw eight in at least ten Pacific island countries. The rate is as high as 80 percent among women in the territory（领地）of American Samoa. Fiji had the lowest obesity rate at 30 perce nt.In all, almost ten million people live in Pacific island countries. T he WHO estimates that about 40 percent of them have health di sorders related to diet and nutrition.Diabetes（糖尿病）rates are among the highest in the world. Forty-seven percent of the people in American Samoa have diabetes. So do 44 percent of the people in Tokelau, a territory of New Zealand.By comparison, the diabetes rate is 13 percent in the United St ates, a country that has its own problems with rising obesity. Officials also note an increase in nutritional problems like anemi a and not enough vitamin A in the diets of Pacific islanders. Dr. Waqanivalu says treating conditions related to obesity and diet puts pressure on limited health resources and budgets.72. The main reason why obesity rates are rising in many Pacific islanders is ________.A. the change of societyB. the change of eating habitsC. the change of life styleD. lack of exercise73. Imported products lack nutritional value but people love to b uy them because they are ____.A. cheapB. popularC. tastyD. convenient to get74.

Make sure they fit well and are snugly（紧贴）around your ankles. This helps your ankles stay strong and straight.Step 3: Fall down!You probably do not usually try to fall. But it is good to practice falling on skates. Fall forward on to your knee pads. Put out your hands and let your wrist guards hit the ground. See? Are you su rprised that it doesn’t hurt?Practice falling until it is easy to fall forward and get up again. If you are not afraid to fall, you wil l try new things.

The quickest and safest is probably the brake stop. Th e brake is usually on the back of the right skate.The brake stop:Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Let your right skate roll a little forward. Be nd your knees as if you are sitting down. Then press your right heel down hard. This will make y our brake pad drag on the ground until you stop.The T stop:Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Then turn your right foot out so the toes ar e pointing to your right. Drag your right skate. Let the wheels drag on the ground until you come to a stop.Another way to stop is to run or jump onto the grass.Step 5: Roll around!Find a flat, smooth place to practice.

Most adults can remembe r their first stuffed（填充玩具）bear, and over the decades these toys have become nearly a symbol of their childhood. Howev er, children are not the only ones with whom these toys have become popular, as many adults make it a habit to collect these toys as well.The Teddy Bear first became popular during the early 20th century and was associated with the n President Theodore Roosevelt. The story can date back to a hunting trip that President Roose velt had taken where he was invited to be the one to shoot a black bear that had been tied to a t ree. Being a crazy outdoors lover and hunter, Roosevelt refused to kill the animal because he b elieved that shooting the helpless bear was unsportsmanlike and wrong. This story quickly spre ad through newspapers across the country, and in the end inspired the introduction of a stuffed toy called “Teddy’s bear”.These toys became popular soon after first introduced, and within ten years, they were being pr oduced by dozens of companies around the world.

To be good, a fight scene has to look real. Punches must __26__ enemies'jaws. Sword fights must be fought with __27__ swords. Several actors arc usually in a fight scene. Their moves must be set up so that no one gets hurt. It is almost like planning a dance performance.If a movie scene is dangerous, stunt people usually __28__ the stars. You may think you see Tom Cruise running along the top of a train. But it is __29__ his stunt double. Stunt people must __30__ the stars they stand in for. Their height and build should be about the same. But when close-ups are needed, the film __31__ the star. Some stunt people __32__ in certain kinds of scenes. For instance, a stunt woman named Jan Davis does all kinds of jumps. She has leapt from planes and even off the top of a waterfall. Each jump required careful planning and expert __33__.Yakima Canutt was a famous cowboy stunt man. Among other stunts, he could jump from a second story window onto a horse's back. He __34__ the famous trick of sliding under a moving stagecoach. Canutt also __35__ a new way to make a punch look real. He was the only stunt man ever to get an Oscar.Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.As an Alaskan fisherman, Timothy June, 54, used to think that he was safe from industrial pollutants (污染物) at his home in Haines —a town with a population of 2,400 people and 4,000 eagles, with 8 million acres of protected wild land nearby. But in early 2007, June agreed to take part in a __36__ of 35 Americans from seven states. It was a biomonitoring project, in which people's blood and urine (尿) were tested for __37__ of chemicals —in this case, three potentially dangerous classes of compounds found in common household __38__ like face cream, tin cans, and shower curtains. The results —__39__ in November in a report called "Is It in Us?" by an environmental group —were rather worrying. Every one of the participants, __40__ from an Illinois state senator to a Massachusetts minister, tested positive for all three classes of pollutants. And while the __41__ presence of these chemicals does not __42__ indicate a health risk, the fact that typical Americans carry these chemicals at all __43__ June and his fellow participants. Clearly, there are chemicals in our bodies that don't __44__ there. A large, ongoing study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found 148 chemicals in Americans of all ages. And in 2005, the Environmental Working Group found an __45__ of 200 chemicals in the blood of 10 new-borns. "Our babies are being born pre-polluted," says Sharyle Patton of Commonweal, which cosponsored "Is It in Us?" "This is going to be the next big environmental issue after climate change."In Hard Economy for All Ages, Older Isn't Better... It's Brutal[A] Young graduates are in debt, out of work and on their parents' couches. People in their 30s and40s can't afford to buy homes or have children. Retirees are earning near-zero interest on their savings.[B] In the current listless (缺乏活力的) economy, every generation has a claim to having been mostinjured. But the Labor Department's latest jobs reports and other recent data present a strong case for crowning baby boomers (二战后生育高峰期出生的人) A) as the greatest victims of the recession and its dreadful consequences.[C] These Americans in their 50s and early 60s — those near retirement age who do not yet haveaccess to Medicare and Social Security — have lost the most earnings power of any age group, with their household incomes 10 percent below what they made when the recovery began three years ago, according to Sentier Research, a data analysis company. Their retirement savings and home values fell sharply at the worst possible time: just before they needed to cash out.They are supporting both aged parents and unemployed young-adult children, earning them the unlucky nickname "Generation Squeeze."[D] New research suggests that they may die sooner, because their health, income security andmental well-being were battered (重创) by recession at a crucial time in their lives. A recent study by economists at Wellesley College found that people who lost their jobs in the few years before becoming qualified for Social Security lost up to three years from their life expectancy (预期寿命), largely because they no longer had access to affordable health care. [E] Unemployment rates for Americans nearing retirement are far lower than those for youngpeople, who are recently out of school, with fewer skills and a shorter work history. But once out of a job, older workers have a much harder time finding another one. Over the last year, the average duration of unemployment for older people was 53 weeks, compared with 19 weeks for teenagers, according to the Labor Department's jobs report released on Friday.[F] The lengthy process is partly because older workers are more likely to have been laid off fromindustries that are downsizing, like manufacturing. Compared with the rest of the population, older people are also more likely to own their own homes and be less mobile than renters, who can move to new job markets.[G] Older workers are more likely to have a disability of some sort, perhaps limiting the range ofjobs that offer realistic choices. They may also be less inclined, at least initially, to take jobs that pay far less than their old positions.[H] Displaced boomers also believe they are victims of age discrimination, because employers caneasily find a young, energetic worker who will accept lower pay and who can potentially stick around for decades rather than a few years.[I] In a survey by the center of older workers who were laid off during the recession, just one in sixhad found another job, and half of that group had accepted pay cuts. 14% of the re-employedsaid the pay in their new job was less than half what they earned in their previous job. "I just say to myself: 'Why me? What have 1 done to deserve this?'" said John Agati, 56, whose last full-time job, as a product developer, ended four years ago when his employer went out of business. That position paid $90,000, and his resume lists jobs at companies like American Express, Disney and USA Networks. Since being laid off, though, he has worked a series of part-time, low-wage, temporary positions, including selling shoes at Lord & Taylor and making sales calls for a car company.[J] The last few years have taken a toll not only on his family's finances, but also on his feelings of self-worth. "You just get sad," Mr. Agati said. "I see people getting up in the morning, going out to their careers and going home. I just wish I was doing that. Some people don't like their jobs, or they have problems with their jobs, but at least they're working. I just wish I was in their shoes." He said he cannot afford to go back to school, as many younger people without jobs have done. Even if he could afford it, economists say it is unclear whether older workers like him benefit much from more education.[K] "It just doesn't make sense to offer retraining for people 55 and older," said Daniel Hamermesh, an economics professor. "Discrimination by age, long-term unemployment, and the fact that they're now at the end of the hiring queue just don't make it sensible to invest in them."[L] Many displaced older workers are taking this message to heart and leaving the labor force entirely. The share of older people applying for Social Security early rose quickly during the recession as people sought whatever income they could find. The penalty they will pay is permanent, as retirees who take benefits at age 62 will receive as much as 30% less in each month's check for the rest of their lives than they would if they had waited until full retirement age (66 for those born after 1942).[M] Those not yet eligible for Social Security are increasingly applying for another, comparable kind of income support that often goes to people who expect never to work again: disability benefits. More than one in eight people in their late 50s is now on some form of federal disability insurance program, according to Mark Duggan, chairman of the department of business economics and public policy at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. [N] The very oldest Americans, of course, were battered by some of the same ill winds that tormented those now nearing retirement, but at least the most senior were cushioned by a more readily available social safety net. More important, in a statistical twist, they may have actually benefited from the financial crisis in the most fundamental way: prolonged lives.[O] Death rates for people over 65 have historically fallen during recessions, according to a November 2011 study by economists at the University of California, Davis. Why? The researchers argue that weak job markets push more workers into accepting relatively undesirable work at nursing homes, leading to better care for residents.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。
