2014高考英语冲刺阅读理解专项 50-10AThe week I turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end. My house, furniture and everything I’d owned was sold to pay debts that I didn't’ even know I had. In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce in the family. I’d lost everything except my four teenage children. I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Missouri to Hawaii. Everyone said I was crazy to think I could just go to an island and survive. I was afraid they were right.Knowing that no one in the world was going to help us, I rented a cheap apartment.I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day. One night as I walked alone on the beach, I saw the red orange glow of the lave (火山岩) pouring out of Kilarea Volcano in the distance. It was time to live my imagination!The next day I quit my job and invested my last paycheck in art supplies and began doing what I loved. I hadn’t painted a picture in 15 years. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked up a brush. But before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas in front of me. And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too. The first painting sold for $1,500 before I even had time to frame it.The past six years have been filled with adventures. My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins, watched whales and hiked around the volcano. We wake up every morning with the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us. The dream I had more than 40 years ago is now reality. I’m living freely and happily ever after.1. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. the writer didn’t expect her marriage would endB. the writer’s parents were content with her divorceC. the writer’s husband took away most of her propertyD. there was something wrong with the writer’s job答案解析：答案为A。

故答案为A。

从第一段的“My house, furniture and everything I’d owned was sold to pay debts that I didn't’even know I had…I’d lost everything except my four teenage children.”可以推断，作者失去了所有的财产，而不是大部分财产，故C选项错误。

又从“In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce in the family.”可推断，她的父母拒绝接受她的离婚，故选项B错误。

D选项未提及。

2. The writer went to Hawaii to ______.A. free herself from troubleB. spend her holidayC. earn a living for the familyD. realize her childhood’s dream答案解析：答案为C。

本题为推理题。

由第二段前两句话“Knowing that no one in the world was going to help us, I rented a cheap apartment. I worked 18 hours a dayand lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day.”可知，作者带着四个孩子去夏威夷后，没人帮助，住廉价的公寓，一天工作18个小时，吃一顿饭，故可推断她去夏威夷为了谋生。

本题为推理题。

结合全文，作者50岁的时候，婚姻瓦解，带着四个孩子到夏威夷，偶然的机会发现了生财之道，利用自己以前的爱好谋生，自力更生，奋斗不息，可推断她是位有决心的伟大女性，故A选项正确。

由作者的经历和最后一段的倒数第二句话“The dream I had more than 40 years ago is now reality.”可知，作者一直喜欢绘画，故B选项正确。

由最后一段首句“The past six years have been filled with adventures.”可推断，作者喜欢冒险生活，故选项D正确。

由第三段最后一句话“The first painting sold for $1,500 before I even had time to frame it.”可知，作者的第一幅画在抽空上框之前就卖了$1,500，选项C与文意不符。

故答案为D。

BFor ten years Jo Eddings felt that she had been banging her head against a brick wall. “I can’t describe my frustration. I felt so helpless,” she says. “What I wanted was the help with my very bright daughter who had a problem with language.”She was slow to learn to talk and at 9 her reading and writing were still poor.“We took her to psychologists and all sorts of experts, but for years nobody seemed to be able to give us a proper diagnosis or know what to do.”But that changed this month when she heard a radio program about an exhibition called Genes Talking at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London. It was about a research project to discover a gene lined with a condition known as specific language impairment. “As soon as I heard it I knew that this was what I’d been looking for,”she says. “I wasn’t alone; I wasn’t mad. There was someone who understood my daughter.”SLI covers speech and grammar problems suffered by children, the most familiar of which is dyslexia (诵读困难). About 8 percent of children are recognized as dyslexic. But a similar number may be suffering from other forms of SLI and are not recognized. The condition is the failure of different parts of the brain to deal with speech and language, and different failures manifest (表明) themselves in different ways.The scientist involved in the ICA project was Professor Heather van der Leiy,the director of the Centre for Developmental Language Disorders and Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London, and a leading expert on SLI. “If we can find a genetic link, it will provide the kind of hard evidence that this is a genuine problem, which is needed if we are to cure the disease,” she says.1. The underlined part in the first paragraph probably means Jo Eddings couldn’t _____.A. understand her daughter and was very sadB. help her daughter out of trouble and felt helplessC. afford to treat her daughter’s disease and felt sadD. find where to treat her daughter’s disease and felt ashamed答案解析：答案为B。

湖北武汉中学最新 版高考英语 阅读理解专题练习(附答案)

湖北武汉中学最新版高考英语阅读理解专题练习(附答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解A study published in the journal Science reveals that since 1970, bird populations in the United States and Canada have declined by 29 percent, or almost 3 billion birds. The results show tremendous losses across diverse groups of birds and habitats - from iconic songsters such as meadowlarks to long-distance migrants such as swallows."These data are consistent with what we're seeing elsewhere," said coauthor Peter Marra, former head of the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center. It's urgent to address ongoing threats, both because the domino effects (多米诺效应)can lead to the decay of ecosystems that humans depend on for our own health and livelihoods and because people all over the world cherish birds in their own right. Can you imagine a world without birdsong?"Evidence for the declines emerged from detection of migratory birds in the air from 143 NEXRAD weather radar stations across the continent in a period spanning over 10 years as well as from nearly 50 years of data collected through multiple monitoring efforts on the ground. Citizen-science participants also contributed a lot, for the analysis included citizen-science data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey coordinated by the Canadian Wildlife Service- the main sources of long-term, large-scale population data for North American birds.The study noted that the largest factor driving these declines is likely the widespread loss and degradation of habitat, especially due to agricultural intensification and urbanization. Other studies have documented death from predation (捕食)by domestic cats; collisions with glass, buildings, and other structures; and pervasive (普遍的)use of pesticides associated with widespread declines in insects, an essential food source for birds. Climate change is expected to compound these challenges by altering habitats and threatening plant communities that birds need to survive."It's a wake-up call that we've lost more than a quarter of our birds in the U.S. and Canada," said coauthor Adam Smith from Environment and Climate Change Canada. But the crisis reaches far beyond our individual borders. Many of the birds that breed in Canadian backyards migrate through or spend the winter in the U.S. and places farther south - from Mexico and the Caribbean to Central and South America. What our birds need now is an historic, hemispheric effort that unites people and organizations with one common goal: bringing our birds back.（1）The underlined word "decay" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to____.A.improvementB.worseningC.changedD.threat（2）What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.New findings of the research.B.Applications of the research.C.Data sources of the research.D.Methods of the research.（3）What Adam Smith said mainly implies that___________.A.bird populations in America and Canada dropped by a quarterB.the bird population crisis is not just within individual bordersC.there is little individuals can do to help increase bird populationsD.the solution to solving the crisis needs international cooperation【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道。

高考英语阅读理解精英定时系列训练题(10)

2014高考英语阅读理解精英定时系列训练题（10）及答案【湖北省荆州市2013质量检查(II)】(B)Teachers say the digital age has had a good influence — and a not-so-good influence — on this generation of American teenagers. More than 2,000 middle and high school teachers took an online survey. Researchers also spoke with teachers in focus groups. Three-quarters of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a “mostly positive” effect on their students’ research habits and skills. But 87 percent agreed that these technologies are cre ating an “easily distracted(分心的）generation” . And 64 percent said the technologies “do more to dis tract students than to help them academically. ” Many students think doing research now means just doing a quick search on Google.The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the College Board and the National Writing Project. A majority of the teachers came from Advanced Placement classes，which provide college-level work for high school students.Judy Buchanan is director of the National Writing Project and a co-author of the report. Ms.Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more，and learn faster. “Teachers really like these tools because they are ways to make some of learning exciting and engaging. Young people like these tools. And the goal is to really help them become creators of content，and meaningful content，and not just sort of consumers. ”But one problem the survey found is that many students are lacking in digital literacy. In other words，they trust too much of the information they find on the Internet. Judy Buchanan says these students have not developed the skills they need to judge the quality of online information.“It’s just a lot to learn about how to distinguish authentic sources. And it’ s something that really has to be taught and paid attenti on to. It’s like everything else — in a world in which things can happen quickly，you really do need to havea way to step back ，reflect and analyze the information you have. And teachers can do a lot to teach that.，Another problem the survey found is blamed on something that might not seem like a problem at all ： being able to quickly find information online. Teachers say the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers. They say students are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research librarians.Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities.55.Most teachers who took the online survey thought the internet tools help students in_______.A. becoming more independentB. being more serious in studyC. doing a quick search on GoogleD. developing their research ability56.According to Ms. Buchanan，the survey aims_______.A. to help students become more creativeB. to draw students attention away from the internetC. to make people learn the benefits of the internet toolsD. to persuade students to use traditional ways of research57. According to the researchers，which of the following do students lack when facing the internet?A. The ability of doing research online.B. The interest in using the internet tools.C．The skills of judging online information．D．The methods of obtaining online information．58．Which of the following is the disadvantage of the internet tools?A．Offering little useful information．B. Search engines are very convenient.C．Making students unwilling to work hard．D．Making students addicted to online information．【参考答案】55—58、D ACC(第******篇)lent in nature.
