专题检测卷(二十二)阅读理解（建议用时：25分钟）AFrom Avatar to Lord of the Rings, plants are no strangers to playing big movie roles. However, no one has ever shot a film that plants themselves can watch until now. In a New York art gallery, seven house plants have spent the last seven weeks watching Strange Skies, the first travel documentary for a vegetable audience. All the plants sat in the cinema in rows, enjoying themselves in Italian sunshine.The movie was made by American artist Jonathon Keats. It consists of Italian skies recorded over two months and made into a six-minute-long movie. The film shows the clear dawn(黎明), high clouds, amazing dusk and then beautiful night. The movie has no sound and the plants, of course, do not applaud. But Stephen Squibb, a professor from Harvard University, said these plants could benefit from it—the light of the movie keeps them alive because they can continue the process of turning light into energy.“I realized there was a much larger audience—plants—that were notbeing serviced, ”Keats said. “I wanted to provide plants with entertainment that companies such as Disney provide for humans. ”Meanwhile, Keats also wants to explore plants’ sensibilities(敏感性)further. He plans to open a“restaurant for plants”at a Californian museum.One visitor, photographer Abbas Ebrahimi, admired(羡慕)the green audience, “Plants are better than us. We die and go, while in spring they come back each time. ”But when talking about the movie, he said after thinking for a few minutes, “It doesn’t mean anything to me at all. It’s just about light. For some people, it might mean something. ”1. What can we learn about Keats according to the passage?A. He is an artist from Harvard University.B. He opened a restaurant for plants.C. He made the film Strange Skies.D. He liked recording Italian skies.2. It can be learned that Strange Skies.A. has already created beautiful soundB. was shot from dawn to duskC. made plants play roles in itD. is the first travel film for plants3. What did Stephen Squibb think of Strange Skies?A. He thought it had explored plants’ sensibilities.B. He thought it meant nothing to him.C. He thought it could keep plants growing.D. He thought it offered entertainment to plants.4. Why did Abbas Ebrahimi admire the green audience?A. Because they die and re-grow in spring.B. Because they mean something to him.C. Because there are more plants than people.D. Because they can enjoy the movie.BWhat makes humans smarter than other animals? We’ve gota bigger brain, of course. But when it comes to brains, is biggeralways better?Traditionally, scientists have thought that humans’ superior intelligence derived(源于)mostly from the fact that our brains are three times bigger than those of our nearest living relatives, chimpanzees. People even used to believe that because men have slightly larger brains than women that men are smarter.This, however, is not the truth. Scientists at University College London in the UK have found that brain organization, and not brain size, is the key to the superiority of human intelligence, reported Live Science.Through millions of years of evolution, our ancestors were constantly pushed to get smarter so that they could meet the demands of newenvironments. However, holding this growing intelligence in increasingly large brains was not the best choice because bigger brains require more energy to power. “This is when reorganization may come i nto play, ”said Christophe Soligo, a member of the London research team.In the study, scientists looked at the brains of 17 species of primates(灵长目动物), including monkeys, apes and humans. They found that in the process of evolution, brains didn’t keep growing as a whole. Certain regions of the brain grew prior to others in response to speci es’needs, and in this way they could make the best use of their limited brain space.For example, when early humans were struggling to survive, the brain region in charge of using tools and finding food grew in size more than other regions. But in modern times, the prefrontal cortex(前额皮质)—the region in charge of social cognition(认知), moral judgments and goal-directed planning—grew more than the rest of the brain.Think of the brain as a room. If a big room is poorly organized, it doesn’t necessarily store more s tuff than a smaller one.Paul Manger, professor at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa, explains this principle using the example of whales. He told Scientific American: “Whales have big brains, absolutely. But if you look at the actual structure of the brain, it’s not very complex. Brain size only matters if the rest of the brain is organized properly. ”5. It has recently been found that humans are smarter than the other animals mainly because.A. they are a species of primatesB. they have much larger brainsC. their brain structure is more complexD. they were constantly pushed to get smarter6. According to the article, in recent human evolution, .A. the brain kept growing in size to adapt to new environmentsB. most regions of the brain didn’t changeC. the prefrontal cortex grew more than the rest of the brainD. humans’brains became increasingly simple so that humans could survive7. What can we conclude from the article?A. Gender makes a difference in intelligence.B. The size of the brain has nothing to do with intelligence.C. Species whose brain is organized properly tend to be smarter.D. Larger brains are usually organized better than smaller ones.8. The method the writer uses to develop the last paragraph is.A. by presenting research dataB. by giving examplesC. by making a comparisonD. by analyzing cause and effectC(2013·淮南模拟)Every year Chris Brogan posts his three words for a new year. Many others and I have followed his lead for the past three or four years. They helped me a lot. My words for last year were“passion”, “focus”and“delegate”and I stayed true to them.

When I was working as a writer, all my projects were handled via a schedule, I’m putting a fitness and housekeeping routine into my schedule.HEALTHI get so busy taking care of everyone else, and I forget to take care of myself and this has to change. My health suffers and my weight suffers. I have to get my health in check, not only for me but because I promised my 9-year-old son. I’ll make good food and lifestyle choices. I miss being thin, and it’s time to get it back.CELEBRATEWhat good is having it if I’m not taking time to enjoy it? I have awonderful job, a happy family, and so much to be thankful for.

专题检测卷(二十三)阅读理解（建议用时：25分钟）A体裁科普文题材地球变暖词数381Move Earth—It’s Not Science FictionLONDON—Scientists have found an unusual way toprevent our planet from overheating: move it to a cooler spot.All you have to do is send a few comets(彗星)in the directionof Earth, and its orbit will be changed. Our world will then be sent spinning into a safer, colder part of the solar system.This idea for improving our climate comes from a group of US National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA)engineers and American astronomers. They say their plan could add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planet—effectively doubling its working life.The plan put forward by Dr. Laughlin, and his colleagues Don Korycansky and Fred Adams, needs carefully directing a comet or asteroid so that it passes c lose by our planet and sends some of its gravitationalenergy to Earth.t and we would move “Earth’s orbital speed would increase as a resulto a higher orbit away from the Sun, ”Laughlin said.Engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to Jupiter or Saturn. The comet would pick up energy from one of these giant planets. Later its orbit would bring it back to Earth, and the process would be repeated.In the short term, the plan provides an ideal way to global warming, although the team was actually concerned with a much greater danger. The Sun is certain to heat up in about a billion years and so“seriou sly compromise” our biosphere(生物圈)—by cooking us..That’s why the group decided to try to save EarthThe plan has one or two worrying aspects, however. For a start, space engineers would have to be very careful about how they directed their asteroid or comet towards Earth. The smallest miscalculation(误算)in orbit could fire it straight at Earth—with deadly consequences.There is also the question of the Moon. As the current issue of Scientific American magazine points out, if Earth was pushed out of its current position, it is“most likely the Moon would be stripped away from.. This would greatly change our planet’s climateEarth”1. What makes the scientists plan to move Earth?A. A few comets are moving to the direction of Earth.e is coming to an end soon.B. Earth’s working lifC. Earth will become too hot for mankind to keep alive.D. The moon is moving farther and farther away from Earth.2. If the plan is successful, Earth will have a working life of years.A. 12 billionB. 6 billionC. 18 billionD. 24 billion3. What serious problems might the plan cause according to the passage?A. The comet might hit Earth and man might lose the Moon.B. Earth might be moved too far away and man might be frozen to death.C. The comet might hit Jupiter or Saturn and never return to Earth..D. Earth’s working life might be greatly shortened?4. What does the underlined word“compromise”meanA. Provide.B. Benefit.C. Share.D. Endanger.B(2013·扬州模拟) 体裁记叙文题材梅西介绍词数378Every time Lionel Messi breaks a record, it seems appropriate to compare him to the legends that came beforehim.In 2012, he rewrote soccer history on multiple occasions,and his latest record came when he scored his 86th goal of the calendar, before wrapping up the yearyear, breaking Gerd Muller’s previous markwith 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 andDiego 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.victorious Messi has already taken part in three of Barcelona’sChampions League(冠军联赛)campaigns, and he played an important rolein 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 careers, a nd 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 2010But the 4-0 loss to Germany in the 2010 World Cup Quarter Finalseems to have sparked Messi. He scored 12 times for Argentina last year,and the next World Cup could 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 orlengthy slumps(低潮状态)until his speed and skills start to decline due toage, he may continue to break records and win trophies.5. What will Messi have to do in order to be complete in his soccer career?A. He must win the World Cup with Argentina.B. He must win the tournament a few more times.C. He must defeat Pele and Maradona.D. He must avoid injury or lengthy slumps.?6. How was Messi’s performance in 2010 World CupA. Excellent.B. Inspiring.C. Disappointing.D. Normal.7. What can we infer from the passage?A. Messi has firmly established himself as the greatest club soccer player inhistory.B. Messi will try his best to win the next World Cup with Argentina.C. Messi can avoid injury and lengthy slumps to break records and win trophies.D. Pele and Maradona led their countries to the top of international soccer during their careers.8. What is the best title of the passage?A. Lionel Messi, the Best Soccer Player of All TimeB. Lionel Messi, the Greatest Soccer Player in HistoryC. Barcelona and Lionel MessiD. World Cup and Lionel MessiC(2013·南京模拟) 体裁说明文题材旅游指南词数326NO matter which tourist destination you visit, chances a re.you’ll see Lonely Planet guidebooks in the hands of travelerslargest travel guide Lonely Planet is one of the world’sbrands, publishing more than 500 different guides in eight40th anniversary.

高中英语真题:2014年高考（安徽卷）答案及解析（听力略）21．—Reading is the best way to pass time on the train.—_________ , I never go traveling without a book.A．You are joking B．That's trueC．I don't think so D．It sounds like fun【答案】B【解析】试题分析：句意：--阅读是在火车上度过时间的最好的方式。

四个选项的含义分别是: A．You are joking你在开玩笑， B．That's true确实是的， C．I don't think so我不这么认为， D．It sounds like fun 听起来很好玩。

所以选B。

考点：考查交际用语22．The exact year_________ Angela and her family spent toge ther in China was 2008.A. WhenB. whereC. whyD. which【答案】D试题分析：句意：--Angela和家人一起在中国度过的那年是2008年。

这句话使用了定语从句，先行词是the exact year，定语从句中的动词spent是及物动词，后面缺少宾语，所以用关系代词that或which引导定语从句，而不能用关系副词。

所以选D。

【知识拓展】考点：考查定语从句定语从句关系词的考查，首先要确定从句是定语从句，然后找到先行词，再分析关系词在从句中的成分，最后选择正确的词。

如果定语从句中缺少主宾表或定语，就用关系代词that/which/who/whose引导，如果做宾语，可以省略关系代词，如果定语从句中不缺主宾表，缺少的是状语，用关系副词when，where，why引导定语从句，如果定语从句中缺少介词+先行词，就用介词+关系代词。
