2014高考英语阅读理解抓分练习题（30）及答案

Do you know what really troubles me? For some reason, words with silent letters have always bothered me．For example, consider these words: know, design, island, school, wrist, naughty, and salmon．All of these words have at least one letter that is not typically pronounced, and these words are just a very small part of words with silent letters in them． Some words are even worse, consider this word: colonel．Not only are some letters not pronounced, but letters that are not even there are pronounced． Even foreign languages, especially French, are guilty of this needless complexity and confusion．I know there must be some main historical reasons why the words are spelled and pronounced the way they are, but that does not mean bad traditions must continue to survive．Especially if they are no longer logical． Unfortunately, there is very little that anyone can do for it, because there’s no group of people who can change or have the right to change the English language for everyone．However, the only thing we can do is make changes in the way we talk and write in hopes that it catches on．For example, I pronounce the letter “l” in salmon on purpose to make people annoyed and to sound more different or complicated．I even pronounce colonel the correct or French way． I can only hope these two minor changes to the English language make sense to you, and you will help to keep up these minor changes forever in your everyday life． 67．We can learn from the passage ________．

A．colonel is pronounced B．salmon is pronounced C．all the words with silent letters come from French D．linguists will solve the problem of dumb letters 68．Which of the following is the main reason for silent letters? A．French language． C．Some linguists

B．Historical reasons． D．Bad traditions．

69．The underlined phrase “catches on” probably means “________”．

D．doesn’t fall behind

A Grandma celebrated her fifty-third birthday just weeks before grandpa died of cancer in 1965.Although his passing was very difficult for her, I think their shared struggle to make his life longer taught grandma that good health was not to be taken forgranted, and she made up her mind to live the rest of her own life as fully and as long as she could.One day, when she announced to attend lessons at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Portland, Oregon, where she lived, we rolled our eyes in embarrassment and helplessly wished she would just stay home and bake cookies as normal grandmothers did.Many years filled with countless dance lessons passed before we learned to appreciate the wonder of having a dancing grandma.I suppose grandma's primary motivation for wanting to learn to dance was social.She had been a shy girl, always very tall and heavy, and had married into grandpa's

答案：B

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Doctor Gibbs.He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known.He never yelled at us for playing in his yard, but was always very kind.When Doctor Gibbs wasn't saving lives, he was planting trees.He had some interesting theories about planting trees.He believed in the principle: “No pain, no gain”.He hardly watered his new trees, an attitude which flew in the face of conventional wisdom.Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants spoiled them because it made them grow weaker.He said you had to make things tough for the trees so that only the strongest could survive.He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water.So, instead of watering his trees every morning, he'd beat them with a rolled-up newspaper.I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention.Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home.Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I'd watched him plant some 25 years ago.They were tall and strong.I planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago.Two years of attending these trees meant they grew up weak.Whenever a cold wind blew, their branches trembled.Adversity seemed to benefit Doctor Gibb's trees in ways comfort and ease never could.Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons.I often pray that their lives will be easy.But lately I've been thinking that it's time to change my prayer.I know my children are going to encounter hardship.There's always a cold wind blowing somewhere.What we need to do is to pray for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we won't be torn apart.31.With the trees planted, Doctor Gibbs often______.A.paid little attention to them B.talked to them to get their attention C.kept watering them every morning D.beat them to make them grow deep roots 【答案】A

【解析】细节理解题。根据He hardly watered his new trees,他没有给树浇过水，也就是他没有关注过它们。故选A。

32.What does the author think of the way Doctor Gibbs planted trees? A.Original and reasonable.B.Strange and harmful.C.Interesting and funny.D.Cruel and unacceptable.【答案】A

【解析】细节理解题。根据I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I'd watched him plant some 25 years ago.They were tall and strong.因为Doctor Gibbs种的树长的又高又粗壮，所以可推测作者认为他的做法是新颖和合理的，故选A。

33.What does the underlined word “Adversity” mean in the seventh paragraph? A.Bad weather.B.Lack of moisture.C.Enough care or attention.D.Difficult living conditions.【答案】D

【解析】细节理解题。根据上文if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water.可知比较难的条件，故选D。34.Which prayer does the author wish for his sons? A.Have an easy life, without too much to worry about.10-

2014高考英语阅读理解抓分练习题（53）及答案

Washington: A research conducted at the University of Maryland looks at the numerous complex reasons as to why young children decide to include or exclude(排斥)other kids from their group of friends.It suggests that the kids' decision-making process is much more complex than previously believed.“They take into account group information, ranging from cliques(小圈子)and networks, when deciding what makes a group work well.Sometimes kids are excluded because they lack social skills, but a lot of time it has nothing to do with that.Instead it has to do with what we refer to as 'group membership' such as gender, race, nation, and culture,” says Professor Melanie Killen, the Associate Director of the Centre for Children Relationships and Culture at Maryland, who led the 4-year project.Reporting their findings in the journal, the researcher said whatever was the reason, individuals who experienced long-term exclusion(排斥)from the group of friends suffered from depression, anxiety and loneliness.The study looked at two models to define how children make decisions regarding acceptance of other kids in their group--the individual social deficit model and the inter-group social cognition(认同)model.While the former says that children's rejection occurs due to social deficits like shyness, wariness or fearfulness, the latter says that it happens because of group dynamics, prejudice and exclusion.It was also found that the age of children was also a factor that influenced their decisions regarding other kids' acceptance as friends.“With age, kids become more aware of group dynamics, conventions, customs, and rituals.With this comes a greater concern about group functioning, which can lead to exclusion which can be negative from a social justice viewpoint,” says Killen.The researcher believes that her study may have many benefits, as it could provide insights into how to help when children are rejected by their peers.9.While making friends, kids think more about the following EXCEPT ______.A.social skills B.culture C.race D.gender 10.The underlined word “deficit” in Paragraph 5 may mean “_______”.A.skill B.relationship C.weakness D.experience 11.One of the major purposes of the research is to _______.A.tell the reader how to tell inclusion from exclusion B.remind children to be careful while making friends C.seek ways to help kids excluded by their peers D.stop the children belonging to the inter-group social cognition model 12.While making friends, children exclude those of social deficit model to _______.A.keep their groups purer B.make their groups more socially powerful C.refuse other customs and cultures D.prove their groups to be strict 13.The proper title for this passage is _______.A.Techniques of making friends B.Social communication among kids C.Making friends--a special culture D.Kids' complex way of making friends

阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分, 满分40分)【福建省厦门外国语学校2013模拟】A A month went by in this manner, but a month was all I could bear.The memory of Marguerite accompanied me wherever I went.I had loved that woman – still loved her – too much for her suddenly to mean nothing to me.Whatever feelings I might have for her now, I had to see her again.At once.„

I knew Marguerite.Meeting me so unexpectedly must have thrown her into a state of great confusion.Probably, she had heard of my departure which had set her mind at rest as to the consequences of our sudden parting.But, seeing me back and coming face to face with me, weak as I was, she had sensed that my return had a purpose, and must have wondered what was going to happen.If, when I saw her again, Marguerite had been unhappy;if, in taking my revenge(复仇), there had also been some way of helping her then I might well have forgiven her, and would certainly never have dreamed of doing her any harm.But when I saw her again, she was happy, at least on the surface.Another man had ensured her the wealthy life in which I had been unable to keep her.She brought shame both to my pride and my love;she was going to have to pay for what I had suffered.I could not remain cold to what she did now.It followed that the thing that would hurt her most would be exactly for me to show coldness.Coldness, therefore, was the feeling which I now needed to pretend, not only in her presence but in the eyes of others.I tried to put a smile on my face, and I went to call on Prudence with whom Marguerite was staying.„

Prudence saw me to the door, and I returned to my apartment with tears of anger in my eyes and thirst for revenge in my heart and thought only of finding a way to make the poor creature suffer.56.This passage is most probably ______ of a love story.A.the beginning B.the introduction C.a summary D.a chapter 57.According to the passage, the hero wanted to ______.A.forgive Marguerite because he found her unhappy B.stop the relationship with Marguerite because he couldn’t afford a rich life C.make up the relationship with Marguerite because he still loved her D.give Marguerite sufferings because his pride and his love were hurt 58.What kind of feelings did the hero most probably have? A.Coldness and love.C.Love and hate.B.Coldness and hate.D.Hate and sadness.59.What would the author most probably write about next? A.Why he changed his mind suddenly.B.How he made up his relationship with Marguerite.C.How he made Marguerite suffer.D.Why he wanted Marguerite to pay for what he had suffered.【参考答案】A: DDCC

(二)If cars had wings，they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2012.The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car­plane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2012.“It’s the next ‘wow’ vehicle，”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh.“Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don’t fly.”

The car plane has wings that unfold for flying—a process the company says takes one minute—and fold back up for driving.A runway is still required to take off and land.The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both.The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.B．Which To Choose: A Ferrari Or A Car­Plane? C．A More Convenient And Cheaper Way To Fly D．Cars With Wings Can Fly As Fast As Plane

13．C 细节理解题。C项不符合The car­plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet.It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers.可判断选C。

Since the beginning of winter break, I have been committed to doing lots of the things I could not do while school was in session.One of the Oscar-nominated(提名的)movies I’ve seen this winter break is Slum-dog Millionaire.Hopefully readers will also have an opportunity to enjoy the movie the way I have halfway around the globe!Slum-dog Millionaire is about a poor boy from the slums(贫民窟), Jamal, who ends up winning the grand prize in an Indian show “Who Wants to be a Millionaire”.The night before he answers the prize-winning question, Jamal is captured by the police and tortured(拷打).They don’t believe a slumdog like Jamal could answer seven questions correctly and possibly win 20 million rupees(卢比)!But, as the movie unfolds, Jamal reveals(透露)how he found the answers to each of the questions.Viewers also learn about Jamal’s childhood, his selfish older brother Salim, and his childhood lover, Latika.The movie’s point, however, is not just to tell a typical story of the underdog(弱者)who becomes a hero.The director also uses Slum-Dog Millionaire to give viewers a taste of India.The movie begins in Jamal’s childhood home in the slums of India.The place where he and his family lived reminds one of the hutongs that used to make up a large part of Old Beijing.Jamal and his brother grow and travel across India, meanwhile surviving as slum-dogs and cheaters, and India ages with them.By the time Jamal is 17 or 18, his old home has been replaced by a giant skyscraper(摩天大楼)

financial center.Jamal and Salim take a moment to reminisce(回忆)about their old lives, as they stand high up in a skyscraper that is still under construction.The view from above reminded me of a similar view I had just two years ago in China: I was standing there in the living room of a family friend’s modern apartment, looking out through a window down to the shacks(简陋的房屋)below just next to the building complex.It was amazing how affluence and poverty could live so close together.So, what was most appealing about the movie to me and my Indian friends was how we could relate to the scenarios(情节)presented in the movie.More important than the plot was the window onto the social and economic situations in Asia that it provided.By Jennifer, 16, New Jersey, US 1.Which of the following is TRUE about the movie? A.Jamal finally won a big prize after struggling hard to earn an honest living.B.Suspected of cheating, Jamal was arrested by the police before winning the prize.C.Jamal and his brother recalled their past standing where it used to be their home.D.Jamal remained in his childhood home in the slums before he was 17 or 18.2.Viewers can learn from the movie EXCEPT__________.A.Jamal’s childhood and his bitter experience of wandering across the country.B.The rapid social changes and economic development in India.C.The poor life of people in the slums against the prosperity of cities in Asia.D.The secret of becoming a millionaire through personal struggle.3．Why does the movie appeal to the writer? A.It’s a typical story of the underdog who becomes a hero, which the writer admires most.B.It’s an Oscar-nominated movie that helps the writer understand the nature of human.C.It has an exciting and complicated plot that attracts the writer very much D.It reminds the writer of her experience in China and helps her know about Asian countries.011-

At least with cancer, people gather at your bedside instead of running from it.I thought of a way to escape.I would explain that I needed my mother's permission to spend the nights.But as I called my Mom, Heather stood beside me to listen.She granted permission!Then I would be sleeping in the same living room as the other girls.I didn't bring my own pajamas(睡衣)，so Mrs.Peters offered me Heather's pajamas.As the other girls drifted into their sweet dreams, I tried to stay awake.“Do I need to go again? I'll stay up to go one more time...”.Of course , I finally fell asleep.The next morning , I was the first to wake up.I was warm!I lay in panic for what seemed like hours before the other girls started to wake up.I did the only thing I could do — I pretended that the bed-wetting didn't happen.I got up, took off Heather's pajamas and changed into my clothes like the other girls.Mrs.Peters walked into the room, and before she could say anything, she stepped right onto the pile of my wet pajamas.My heart stopped as I watched her face burn red.“WHO DID THIS?” She screamed, with a look so frightening.Should I answer? And that was when it happened — Mr.Peters came in and grabbed his wife , ‘‘Elvis Presley died!”

（一）.[2012·课标全国卷]

About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film­studio(影棚)to take part in a crowd­scene.Although our “act” would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path.Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie­camera was wheeled into position.The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby.Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path.A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in “snow”.Two more fans were turned on, and a “strong wind” blew through the trees.The picture looked

so real that it made us feel cold.The next scene was a complete contrast(对比).The way it was filmed was quite unusual.Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen.An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island.By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!

Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us.For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film “stars”！

36.Who is the author?

A.A cameraman.B.A film director.C.A crowd­scene actor.D.A workman for scene setting.37.What made the author feel cold?

A.The heavy snowfall.B.The man­made scene.C.The low temperature.D.The film being shown.38.What would happen in the “three minutes” mentioned in the last paragraph?

A.A new scene would be filmed.B.More stars would act in the film.C.The author would leave the studio.D.The next scene would be prepared.【要点综述】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述自己作为群众演员的一次经历。

36.C 细节理解题。根据文章中的第一段“About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film­studio(影棚)to take part in a crowd­scene.Although our ‘act’ would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.”可知作者是群众演员。所以C正确。

37.B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in ‘snow’.Two more fans were turned on, and a ‘strong wind’ blew through the trees.The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.”可知这里的picture即是the man­made scene。

38.A 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film ‘stars’！”可知A正确。

【甘肃省嘉峪关市一中模拟】D

When a child is told he is “uncool”, it can be very painful.He may say he doesn't care, and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose.But ultimately, these are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending it's not there.Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful.If you say, “Why are you worried about what other children think about you? It doesn't matter!” children

know that it does matter.Instead, an active way may be best.You could say, “I'm going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school.”

If a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him.The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects.This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him.A teacher can also raise a child's popularity in the group by showing that he values that child.It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc.There are things that parents can do at home, too.Be friendly when your child brings others home to play.Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider “super”.When you plan trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out.Then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build real friendship of his own.67.A child who has been informed of being “uncool” may ________.A.care nothing about itB.develop a sense of anger
