2014高考英语阅读理解精品训练（5）及解析C2AJimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview.His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8：30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car，the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said，“Well，I could take you to the office for your interview. It's the least I could do. Please, I insist.” Jimmy agreed.Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt.One by one, the applicants left the interviewer's office with disappointed looks on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed？” Jimmy's heart sank.“With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview？” he thought to himself.Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy's surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office. I just know you'd be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations！”Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well－deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.56．Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?A. He was out of work.B．He was bored with his job.C．He wanted a higher position.D．He hoped to find a better boss.57．What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview?A．A friend's car had a flat tyre.B．A wild man was pushing a car.C．A terrible car accident happened.D．An old man's car broke down.58．Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride?A．He was also to be interviewed.B．He needed a travelling companion.C．He always helped people in need.D．He was thankful to Jimmy.59．How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer's question?A. He was sorry for the other applicants.B. There was no hope for him to get the job.C. He regretted helping the old man.D. The interviewer was very rude.60．What can we learn from Jimmy's experience?A. Where there's a will, there's a way.B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.C. Good is rewarded with good.D. Two heads are better than one.【要点综述】这是一篇记叙文。

I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call.

I was able to liste n to him and talk to him calmly.[语篇解读] “我”对自己的经纪人取消我的表演并且不及时接电话的行为大为恼火，冲电话大吼以泄愤，但接着妻子就此事的一系列异常及夸张的行为让我意识到自己对小事情反应过火，最后我的情绪得到好转，冷静了下来。

actually cause such mood disorders.Long-lasting exposure to light at night brings depression,a new study finds,at least in animals.The new data confirm observations from studies of people who work night shifts, says Richard Stevens of the University of Connecticut Health Center.Mood disorders join a growing list of problems,including cancer,obesity and diabetes——that can occur when light throws life out of balance by disturbing the biological clock and its timing of daily rhythms.In the new study,Tracy Bedrosian and Randy Nelson of Ohio State University exposed mice to normal light and dark cycles for four weeks.For the next four weeks, half of the mice remained on this schedule,and the rest received continuous dim light throughout their pared with mice exposed to normal nighttime darkness, those getting dim light at night lost their strong preference for sweet drinks，“a sign they no longer get pleasure out of activities they once enjoyed，”Bedrosian says.In a second test,mice were clocked on how long they actively tried to escape a pool of water.Those exposed to night lights stopped struggling and just floated in the water,a sign of“behavioral despair”，10times as long as the mice that had experienced normal nighttime darkness.All symptoms of depression disappeared within two weeks of the mice returning to a normal light-dark cycle,the researchers report.The scientists also could quash the behavioral symptoms by injecting(注射)the brains of animals with a drug that prohibits the activity of certain molecules linked with human depression.This finding further suggests that light at night may cause something related to depression.Human studies linking nighttime light and mood disorders are important but can’t easily detect molecular underpinnings(分子基础)as animal studies can，says George Brainard of Thomas Jefferson University.The new work,he says,suggests that the change of the biological clock by light at night can be“an extremely powerful force in regulating biology and behavior.”63.After being exposed to continuous nighttime light，the mice_____.A.changed their preferencesB.escaped from the water more eagerlyC.remained active as beforeD.showed less interest in their favorites64.What does the underlined word“quash”in Para.4probably mean?A.studyB.predictC.easeD.cause65.We can learn from the last paragraph that_____.A.light at night may have practical valueB.the biological clock is beneficial to humansC.human mood disorders cannot be healed easilyD.human studies are more important than animal studies66.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Nighttime light may foster depression.B.A drug has been found to cure mood disorders.C.The study on animals can be applied to humans.D.Human biological clock can be controlled by light.七选五：Swapping Houses for VacationWhen budgeting for a vacation,usually the most expensive part of the trip is the accommodations．The traditional way to take a vacation is to pack some bags,lock up the house,and travel to a new place to stay in a hotel．However,hotels are very expensive,and with rent or housing loan（贷款）due every month,it's difficult for most people to pay for yet another place to stay.71Luckily,there is a substitute called house swapping,and it's saving tourists a great deal of cash．72For example,if a couple from New York want to spend a week in Paris, they would place an ad offering to trade their New York apartment for one in Paris for a week．If a Parisian couple that want to vacation in New York read the advertisement, houses can be swapped,and both couples save hundreds,if not thousands,of dollars by avoiding big-city hotel fees．If all goes well,both couples can post positive reviews of the other's home online so that potential travelers can see that everything was fine. 73This builds a community of people who want to help each other out．There are other advantages of house swapping as well.74Staying at someone's home puts you in a neighborhood that can give you a better representation of the life and culture in the place you're visiting.75The next time you want to spend your vacation in a new place,but don't want to pay a fortune,check what's posted online and find a house to swap．A．House swapping is most common in New York and Paris．B．Hotels are often quite difficult to book when you want to explore a new home．C．A lot of times,this extra cost prevents travelers from going very far from home．D．To swap houses,people check the Internet for others planning to travel and trade homes．E．With many house swapping sites growing,this new phenomenon is becoming easier than ever．F．Hotels are often located where few people live,making them a strange place to experience a city．G．On the other hand,if there were trouble,people could write about that to wan others not to trust the swappers．。
