【2014·山东省济南市名校高三第四次诊断性测试】

With the average temperature for January standing at －50 ℃，it is no wonder the Russian village of Oymyakon is the coldest permanently inhabited settlement in the

wo rld.Known as the “Pole of Cold”，the coldest ever temperature recorded in Oymyakon is －71.2 ℃.This is the lowest recorded temperature for any permanently inhabited location on Earth and the lowest temperature recorded in the northern hemisphere (北半球)．

Ironically，Oymyakon actually means “non-freezing water” due to a nearby hot spring.Most homes in Oymyakon still burn coal and wood for heat and enjoy few modern conveniences.

Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer (驯鹿) meat and horsemeat.A single shop provi des the town’s bare necessities and the locals work as reindeer-breeders，hunters and ice-fisherman.

There are few modern conveniences in the village—with many buildings still having outdoor toilets—and most people still burn coal and wood for heat.When coal deliveries are irregular，the power station starts burning wood.If the power ceases，the town shuts down in about five hours，and the pipes freeze and crack.

Daily problems that come with living in Oymyakon include pen ink freezing，glasses freezing to peopl e’s faces and batteries losing power.Locals are said to leave their cars running all day for fear of not being able to restart them.Even if there was coverage for mobile phone reception，the phones themselves would not work in such conditions.

Another problem caused by the frozen temperatures is burying dead bodies，which can take anything up to three days.The earth must first have thawed (融解) sufficiently in order to dig it，so a bonfire is lit for a couple of hours.Hot coals are then pushed to the side and a hole couple of inches deep is dug.The process is repeated for several days until the hole is deep enough to bury the coffin.

Travel companies offer tourists the opportunity to visit the village and sample life in the freezing conditions.

【2014·山东省齐鲁名校高三年级联合测试】

When I was growing up in the suburbs of New York，our first local Earth Day was organized around a drive to a town field where families were urged to dump items from their basements for recycling rather than tossing them in the trash.It was an eye-opening concept for a kid in 1970.

But as an environmental reporter，I have come to dread (非常害怕) the large amount of deals and promotions that arrive via e-mail or in my office or home mailbox on Earth Day.Like Valentine’s Day，Earth Day has become a huge marketing opportunity—a paradoxical (矛盾的) way to promote consumption and sell stuff.

In fact，Earth Day is such a good sales hook that some shops，like Target，have expanded Earth Day into Earth Month.

There isn’t time to give you a full rundown of the Earth Day shopping opportunities I was alerted to this past week.They included deals on buying bottled water and

ear th-friendly diaper wipes.

My award for the silliest promotion：a plan to gift 25 of the most environmentally conscious stars unique，useful and fabulous “green” products and services，including skin care products，cat litter，cheesecake and artwork.My guess is most of the stuff will end up in celebrities’ garbage.

Is buying and selling a good way to celebrate and protect the environment？I would argue that Earth Day might be an occasion to consider giving up purchases or habits that are environmentally questionable or that we could happily do without.How about not buying bottled water，but refilling a water bottle？How about not buying foods—even “organic” foods—that are packed in non-recyclable plastic?

Don’t get me wrong.Bridgestone is celebrating Earth Day by promising to repurpose a spent tire for every tire that it sells.Verizon will plant a tree for each cellphone you trade in.Some coffee stores will even refill reusable mugs at no charge.Target is giving out free reusable carrier bags without requiring a purchase.

But few retailers are taking the next step—charging a fee at the cash register for disposable plastic bags，a common practice in Europe—to motivate customers to use those new reusable carriers.

Earth Day is transient (短暂的)．If you only showed love on Valenti ne’s Day，would that really mean anything at all?

1．The author’s first local Earth Day was celebrated by________.

A．driving to a town field for fun

B．dumping unused items for recycling

C．looking for good ideas for reuse

D．clearing items from their basement

2．Why do some shops expand Earth Day into Earth Month?

A．Because too many activities are organized for the day.

B．Because they intend to make more sales strategies.

C．Because they want to have more selling opportunities.

D．Because they have to deal with too much waste.

3．What’s the author’s attitude towards the deals and promotions on Earth Day?

A．Objective. B．Optimistic.

C．Supportive. D．Critical.

4．According to the author，it’s environmentally friendly to________.

A．buy packed organic foods

B．offer stars green products

C．refill water bottles

D．ask for disposable plastic bags

5．It could be inferred from the text that Bridgestone and Verizon________.

A．are likely to misunderstand the author

B．have a good way to celebrate Earth Day

C．are devoted to making money on Earth Day

D．make wrong promotion plans on Earth Day

语篇解读本文作者对一些商家在世界地球日的做法发表了自己的观点。

【2014·日照模拟】

World-famous violinist Itzhak Perlman was stricken with

polio as a child.As a result，he wears braces on both legs and

walks with the aid of crutches.At_concerts，getting on stage is no small achievement_for_him. He slowly crosses the stage until he

reaches his chair. He lays his crutches on the floor，slowly

undoes the clasps (扣环) on his legs，puts one foot backward and extends the other one forward.Then he bends down and picks up the violin，puts it under his chin (下巴)，nods to the conductor，and starts to play.

One fall evening in 1995，while performing at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City，Perlman had to deal with one additional trouble.Jack Reimer，a famous reporter with the Houston Chronicle，described the scene.“Just as he finished the first few bars，one of the strings on his violin broke.You could hear the sound go off like gunfire across the room.There was no mistaking what that sound meant.”

There was no mistaking what he had to do.People who were there said，“We figured he would have to get up...to either find another violin or find another string for this

one.”

But he didn’t.Instead he waited a moment，closed his eyes，and then signaled the conductor to begin again.The band and he played from where he had left off.He played with enthusiasm and power.

Of course，it is impossible to play a symphonic work with just three strings.But that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that.You could see him modulate (调音)，change，recompose the piece in his head.At one point，it sounded like he was tuning the strings to get new sounds they had never made before.

1．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?

A．It’s a piece of cake for Perlman to perform on the stage.

B．It’s not easy for Perlman to get on the stage.

C．Perlman has achieved great success on the stage.

D．Perlman has small achievements on the stage.

2.How did the string break?

A．It only broke by accident.

B．Perlman broke the string because he was too excited.

C．A gunfire from somewhere in the room broke it.

3.After the string broke the audience thought that Perlman would________.

A．get angry at his performance

B．give up the performance

C．do something about the violin

D．continue performing with the three-string violin

4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Perlman________.

A．pretended not to know that the string was broken

B．thought nothing was impossible

C．was a very proud man

D．showed his self-confidence in time of trouble

5.What is the best title for the passage?

A．A World-famous Disabled Artist

B．An Unexpected Accident

C．The Performance Went on

D．A Three-string Violin and Its Owner

语篇解读本文是一篇人物故事，讲述了著名残疾人演奏家Perlman演出过程中发生的意外和他的应对措施。

1．解析：句意理解题。画线句中的achievement指的是Perlman能够做到的事情。下文中描述他上台的细节，说明对于一个行动不便的残疾人来说，能够自己走上舞台，已经是很了不起的事情了，对他自己已经是一个不小的成就了。

答案： B

2.解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段倒数第一、二句“You could hear the sound go off like gunfire across the room.There was no mistaking what that sound meant.”可知，琴弦是弹奏过程中意外断掉的。

答案： A

3.解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“We figured he would have to get up...to either find another violin or find another string f or this one.”可知，观众们揣测他会换另一把琴或者换根弦。

答案： C

4.解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知，他仅仅用三根弦继续完成了他的演奏，可推断他对于自己拉琴的能力很有信心。

答案： D

5.解析：标题概括题。通读全文可知，文章的核心不是断弦事件本身，而是断弦后Perlman 镇定自信的表现，让人佩服和感动。故选项C最适合做标题。

答案：C。

If you choose only to complain and escape from a misfortune，it will always follow you wherever you go.But if you decide to be strong，the hardship will turn out to be a fortune on which new hopes will arise.

Though her elder sister who was studying in another city，showed her willingness to take care of her，she was determined to be completely independent.At school，she always studied hard.Most of all she learned to be self-reliant.

中考英语阅读理解培优训练(附解析) 一、初三英语阅读理解（含答案详细解析） 1．阅读理解 Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap （代沟）. Don't argue （争辩） with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter. Try to reach a compromise （和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect （尊敬） to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try! （1）According to the passage who have a communication problem? A. parents and other people B. only school kids and their parents C. teachers and their students D. parents and children of all ages （2）How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to bridge the generation gap?

2017年高考英语阅读题

2017年高考英语阅读题 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节,满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分,满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Attending college can be expensive, and applying to college can be costly as well. With today’s college application fees averaging around $ 80, you can expect to spend hundreds of dollars on college before you are even accepted into a school. One of the easiest ways to save money on college application fees before you begin applying is to narrow down your list of schools. To save money, try to limit the schools to which you apply to about 2- reach schools and 2- safety schools. At some schools, being a relative of a graduate can secure you a free application. If you are applying to a school where one of your parents or grandparents is a former graduate, check to see if you’re qualified for it. Research the preferred method of applying for each school on your list. Some schools offer free online applications, yet charge a fee for paper submissions. This is because online applications save schools the cost of employing a staff member to physically enter the application information. Several states, such as Michigan and North Carolina, take part in College Application Week, where many schools in the participating states cancel their application fee for the week. Be sure to contact the schools to I j which you are applying to see if they participate in College Application Week and when the program takes place in that state. Apply for early admission. If you have already decided on which college is your top choice, consider applying under an Early Action or Early Decision admission program. If you are accepted, you won’t have to submit application fees to other schools. For more information regarding college applications and the fees associated with them, contact your high I school advisor or the admissions department at your school(s) of interest. 21.The passage is mainly written to______. A.introduce famous universities in the United Stales B.show some practical ways to apply an ideal college C.advertise for successful applications and advisors D.offer tips to save money on college application fees

The second is the Great Sphinx of Giza, a sculpture with the body of a lion and the head of a man, which stands 20 meters tall and 73 meters long. The origin of the Great Sphinx of Giza goes back 5,000 years, Although many sphinx sculptures have been found over the years, researchers believe that the Great Sphinx which guards the pyramids in Giza was actually the first one to be made (around 2600-2500B.C.). The head of the Sphinx represents Khafre, the Pharaoh who ruled Egypt at the time. About two thousand years later, around 570 B.C., sand had covered all but the head of the Great Sphinx. The people living in the area had forgotten the history of the statue, so they imagined that the head represented the sun god Ra and began worshiping it. The son of Pharaoh Amenhotep II heard the head speak to him in a dream. The Sphinx’s head made him promise to clear the sand from the statue’s body. The son, Thutmose, kept his word and did what he was told in the dream. He also built walls around the statue to prevent the sand from covering it again. After all of the sand was cleared away, Thutmose made a large stone tablet that told the story of his dream. He placed this tablet between the two front feet of the Sphinx, where it stands to this day. For hundreds of years, the Sphinx attracted people both as a religious monument and as a work of art. But eventually, the desert sand once again covered the Sphinx, leaving only

（英语）英语阅读理解专项习题及答案解析 一、阅读理解 1．根据短文内容选择正确答案。 D If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming. Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty in such positive（积极的）light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance. When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chan ces all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting（咨询）, but she knew she wouldn’t stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income（收入）by teaching students.

All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a general（全面的）plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consulting experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent, and time we must all take if we’re being honest with ours elves. The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty and make a choice. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen.

高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 I was born on the 17th of November 1828, in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of the Portuguese Colony (殖民地) of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide. As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs. Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China, came to Macao. Supported by the Ladies' Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a girls' school for Chinese girls, which was soon followed by the opening of a boys' school. Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff's school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school. It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed. Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the country, than to allow me to attend an English school. Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth. I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English. In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world. I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs. Gutzlaff's School. As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were entirely left in the hands of God. （1）How was the author admitted to Mrs. Gutzlaff's school? A. Through his father's friend's help. B. Through his own efforts to exams. C. Through his father's request. D. Through Mrs. Gutzlaff's influence. （2）Why did the author's parents put him into an English school？ A. An English school was more influential. B. Foreign trade with China was developing fast. C. It met with Chinese public opinion. D. He could become a successful interpreter. （3）What did the author think of his parents' decision to put him into an English school? A. It was skeptical. B. It was mysterious. C. It was thoughtful. D. It was wonderful.【答案】（1）A （2）D （3）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，小时候父亲送作者去英语学校而不是中文学校，并分析了具体原因。 （1）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor.
