2014年高考英语重庆卷阅读理解E篇原文

2014年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（重庆卷）英语答案解析一、单项填空1.【答案】C【解析】本题的是代词辨析。

anything任何事情；something某些事情，重要人物；nothing什么也没有，没有事情；everything所有的事情。

句意：微笑不要我们花任何东西，但是却会给我们很多。

本题中的关键词是but说明上下文之间是转折关系，所选之词要和后面的much表示相反的意思。

故C正确。

【考点】代词辨析。

2.【答案】B【解析】本题的是交际用语。

A没关系（用来回答对方的道歉）；B我很高兴要做某事…（后面常常和but 连用，表示委婉地拒绝）；C遇见你很高兴；D我找不到任何理由。

句意：—为什么不在这里多待一会?—我想多待一会，可是我真的必须得走了。

本句的关键词是but，说明本句表示的是委婉地拒绝对方。

同时在to 后面省略了stay here a little longer。

故B正确。

【考点】交际用语。

3.【答案】C【解析】本题的是情态动词意义辨析。

Can’t不可能；做不到；dare not不敢；needn’t 不必；may not也许不；句意：我已经点了一些披萨，所以当我们很累地到家的使用，不必担心做饭的问题。

Need既可以作为情态动词，也可以作为行为动词。

当它作为情态动词的使用常常用于疑问句和否定句中，表示“不必”。

根据句意说明C正确。

【考点】情态动词。

4.【答案】A【解析】本题的是时态题中的一个常考的用法。

在时间状语从句和条件状语从句中，常常使用一般现在时代替将来时。

本句中的连词before引导的就是一个时间状语从句，所以使用一般现在时代替将来时。

句意：在你忘记之前最好把他的电话号码写下来。

故A正确。

【考点】时态。

5.【答案】B【解析】本题的是非谓语动词中分词做定语的用法。

本句中的动词return与前面的名词cameras构成逻辑上的被动关系，所以使用过去分词短语在句中做定语来修饰cameras，从语法作用上来说相当于一个定语从句which are returned…。

2014年高考英语重庆卷阅读理解E篇原文EIt's generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes. They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment. They pay $5 for a caramel brulée latte because they like expensive coffee drinks.It's undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions (性情), but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are, as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bem, by observing our own behavior. We can be strangers to ourselves. If we knew our own minds, why would we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior? If our minds were an open book, we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes. Actually, we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are.Moreover, we don't just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character—we infer characters that weren't there before. Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us, which we fail to recognize. Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn't. Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us. We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition.Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make, people become what they do, though it may not be in compliance (符合) with theirtrue desires. Therefore, we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut's advice: "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be."52. According to the passage, personalities and attitudes are commonly believed to .A. determine one's behaviorB. reflect one's tasteC. influence one's surroundingsD. result from one's habits53. Which of the following would Daryl Bem most probably agree with?A. The return of a wallet can indicate one's honesty.B. A kind person will offer his seat to the old.C. One recycles plastics to protect the environment.D. One buys latte out of true love of coffee.54. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage?A. We fall to realize our inner dispositions.B. We can be influenced by outside pressures.C. Our behavior is the result of our true desires.D. Our characters can shape our social relationships.55. What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?A. Personalities and attitudes.B. Preferences and habits.C. Behavior and personalities.D. Attitudes and preferences.2014年高考英语重庆卷阅读理解E篇翻译人们普遍认为,人们的行为方式源于他们的个性和态度。

高考英语真题【阅读理解】分类拔高练习05社会生活1.（2014·辽宁）阅读理解(Q = Question; A = Answer)Situation IQ: If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater, is it rude to move? A: Maybe, but nobody will fault you for it. Chances are that close sitter doesn't realize he disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. You undoubtedly aren't the first person he's met who needs enough room. Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show.Situation IIQ: If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy something?A: Consider frequency and urgency. Is this a one-time or an emergency? If so, you don't have to buy anything, but it would be kind if you did. However, if you regularly use the bathroom at this place, then you are a customer, and you should act like one. Situation IIIQ: If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?A: No. Try other means.1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down.2) Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作)and smile. 3) Put on earphones and ignore him.Situation IVQ: If I remember my friend's birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened?A: This is the reason why the word belated was invented. "Happy belated birthday!" is short for: "Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy birthday."Situation VQ: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond(回复) to it?A: Don't lie. Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it. Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve? "Yes," you can say if ever asked, "I saw it." No explanation is needed as to why you don't respond.（1）You will get annoyed in a theater when .A.a person is too activeB.a person is too rude to youC.a person talks too loudlyD.a person sits too close to you（2）How will you quiet someone down in a public place?A.By making fun of him continuously.B.By looking purposefully at him.C.By talking to him directly.D.By pointing angrily at him.（3）The underlined word "belated" in Situation IV probably means .A.predictedB.returnedC.cancelledD.delayed（4）What is the passage mainly about?A.Modern ways to mind your manners.B.Different ways to change others' manners.C.Proper manners to offer help to others.D.Good manners to talk to people.2.（2014·上海）阅读理解Let's say you want to hit the gym more regularly this year. How do you make that happen? Consider putting the habit loop to use.Here's how it works:A habit is a 3-step process. First, there's a cue, something that tells your brain to operate automatically. Then there's a routine. And finally, a reward, which helps your brain learn to desire the behavior. It's what you can use to create-or break-habits of your own.Here's how to apply it:Choose a cue, like leaving your running shoes by the door, then pick. a reward-say, a piece of chocolate when you get home from the gym. That way, the cue and thereward become interconnected. Finally, when you see the shoes, your brain will start longing for the reward, which will make it easier to work out day after day. The best part? In a couple of weeks, you won't need the chocolate at all. Your brain will come to see the workout itself as the reward. Which is the whole point, right?（1）Which of the following best fits in the box with a “?” in THE HABIT LOOP?A.Pick a new cue.B.Form a new habit.C.Choose a new reward.D.Design a new resolution.（2）According to THE HABIT LOOP, you can stick to your plan most effectively by______.A.changing the routineB.trying it for a weekC.adjusting your goalD.writing it down（3）What's the purpose of putting the habit loop to use?A.To test out different kinds of cues.B.To do something as a habit even without rewards.C.To work out the best New Year's resolution.D.To motivate yourself with satisfactory rewards.（4）“This year when I see the Harry Potter post er, I will read 30 pages of an English novel or an English newspaper in order to watch TV for half an hour." What is the cue in this resolution?A.The Harry Potter poster.B.Reading 30 pages of an English novel.C.An English newspaper.D.Watching TV for half an hour.3.（2014·重庆）阅读理解It's generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes.

The products displayed (展示) at the entrance? Or the soft background music?But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop's scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers' intension to purchase increased by 80 percent.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand's success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.Some years ago, the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants' disproving attitude and don't touch what you can't afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this. Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut (椰子) scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store's windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.（1）According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?A.Friendly assistant.B.Unique scents.C.Soft background musicD.attractive window display.（2）E-shops are mentioned in the passage to _______ .A.as how the advantages of brick-and-mortar storesB.urge shop assistants to change their attitudeC.push stores to use sights and soundsD.introduce the rise of e-commerce（3）The underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 5 means _______ .A.a platform that exhibits goodsB.a spot where travelers like to stayC.a place where customers love to goD.a target that a store expects to meet（4）The main purpose of the passage is to ______ .pare and evaluateB.examine and assessC.argue and discussrm and explain。

2014年高考英语重庆卷阅读理解C篇原文2014年高考英语重庆卷阅读理解C篇原文CThe idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid--we simply weigh too much, and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water's surface with its feet. The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans to do this, we'd need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate "hitting."But fortunately there is an alternative: cornflour. By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a "non-Newtonian" liquid that doesn't behave like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(粒子) in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour.Fun though all this may sound, it's still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice, if you must do it, then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink--and take a shower afterward!44. Walking on water hasn't become a reality mainly becausehumans.A. are not interested in itB. have biological limitationsC. have not invented proper toolsD. are afraid to make an attempt45. What do we know about Basiilius basilicus from the passage?A. It is light enough to walk on water.B. Its huge feet enable it to stay above water.C. It can run across water at a certain speed.D. Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in watch46, What is the function of the cornflour according to the passage?A. To create a thick liquid.B. To turn the water into solid.C. To help the liquid behave normally.D. To enable the water to rove rapidly.47. What is the author's attitude toward the idea of humans' walking on water?A. It is risky but beneficial.B. It is interesting and worth trying.C. It is crazy and cannot become a reality.D. It is impractical thigh theoretically possible.2014年高考英语重庆卷阅读理解C篇翻译人类一直对水上行走的想法很感兴趣。

高中英语真题:2014高考英语二轮短文阅读类训练（5）及答案或解析Tides(潮汐)are created mainly by the pull of the moon on the earth. The moon's pull causes water in the oceans to be a little deeper at a point closet to the moon and also at a point farthest from the m oon on the opposite side of the earth. These two tidal"Waves"fo llow the apparent(明显的) movement of the moon around the earth and strike nearly e very coast line at in- tervals of about twelve hours and twenty-five minutes. After reaching a high point, the water level goes d own gradually for a little more than six hours and then begins to rise toward a new high point. Hence, most coast lines have two tides a day, and the tides occur fifty minutes later each day. Dif ferences in the coast line and in channels in the ocean bottom may change the times that the tidal wave reaches different poin ts along the same coast line. Tne difference in water level betw een high and low tide varies from day to day according to the re lative positions of the sun and the moon because the sun also e xerts a pull on the earth, although it is only about half as strongas the pull of the moon. When the sun and the moon are pulling along the same line, the tides rise higher, and when they pull at fight angles to one another, the tide is lower. The formation of t he coast line and variations(变化)in the weather are additional factors which can affect the hei ght of tides. Some sections of the coast are shaped in such a w ay as to cause much higher tides than are experienced in other areas. A strong wind blowing toward the shore may also cause tides to be higher.1. The height of the tide is affected by all of the following except _________.A. the position of the sunB. the direction of the windC. variations in the coast lineD. channels in the sea bottom答案：D 指导：潮汐的高度受太阳、风向和海岸线差异的影响，海沟只影响潮汐的时间。

重庆市2014高考英语阅读理解一轮（精品）训练题（19）附答案Traveling without a map in different countries, I find out about different “styles”(方式) of directions (方向)every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused (迷惑的) in Japan because most streets there don’t have name signs; in Japan, people use landmarks(地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”People in Los Angeles(洛杉矶), the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure (衡量)distance (距离)by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You don’t understand completely, “Yes, but how many miles away is it, please?” To this question you won’t get an answer, because most probably they don’t know it themselves.People in Greece(希腊) sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. What happens in the situati on? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People there believe that “I don’t” is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan!However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. It’s body language.66. Which one of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions?A. “Go south two miles. Turn west and then go another mile.”B. “Turn right at the hospital and g o past a school. The library is right in frontof you.”C. “The post office is about five minutes from here.”D. “The post office is at Street Kamira.”67. People in Los Angeles don’t give directions in miles because ______.A. they use landmarks in their directions instead of distanceB. they prefer to lead you the wayC. they often have no idea of distance measured by milesD. they prefer to use body language68. Greeks give directions by ______.A. using street namesB. using landmarksC. leading people the wayD. giving people a wrong direction69. Where is Yucatan?A. In the USA.B. In Japan.C. In Greece.D. In Mexico.70. Which of the following is NOT true?A. People in Yucatan always give right directions.B. There are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world.C. People in some places give directions in miles, but people in other places givedirections in time.D. A person’s body language can help you understand directions.***********************************************************结束(2011·广东卷，D) In a world with limited land, water and other natural resources (资源), the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持续的) ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.Today, sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low­carbon energy will become threetimes bigger over the next decade. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money m aking electric cars and high­speed trains.In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the globalmarkets for sustainable products such as palm oil (棕榈油)，which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest.In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions (排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy.Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.文章讲了在过去的十年中传统的商业模式严重地危害了地球的资源和人们的生存环境。

2014年高考英语重庆卷阅读理解A篇原文AI was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, "Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!" Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through phone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart,Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't noticed Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me. "Thanks."Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.36. What made Kate angry one evening?A. She couldn't find her books.B. She heard the author shouting loud.C. She got the news that her grandma was ill.D. She saw the author's shoes beneath her bed.37.

There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stodda rd. He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath.
