【2014高考英语《考试大纲》调研卷二模试题】 A
Throughout my chil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dhood, my father was extremely fat, and my family life was filled with finding new ways to lose weight. But on the weekends I spent with my grandmother, everything changed.
Whenever I arr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ived at my grandmother' s house, she would run down her front porch stairs, saying, " My little beauty. " I heard her say " beauty" so often that I thought it was her name, so that's what I called her. The name stuck, and soon everyone in her small neighborhood knew my grandmother as Beauty.
I remember walkin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g hand in hand along the shops on Devon Avenue in Chicago to get everything ready for our special Saturday dinner. Beauty was very popular in her neighborhood, which made me feel happy to be with her. It seemed that everyone loved my grandmother, from the baker to the butcher. The men at the fruit stand showed us what was in season and ripe, and the ladies at the beauty shop flattered my grandmother on her beautiful hats, telling her she looked exactly like Ruth Gordon.
Beauty was the pe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rfect name for my grandmother. Everywhere she went, she made people smile. We walked along Devon Avenue, buying ingredients for our dinner. Beauty would tell me stories about my family. She talked abouther daughter, my mother, who hated to cook, and how my father would sometimes eat an entire pizza before going out to dinner because he worried that he would be hungry while waiting for his food to arrive at the restaurant.
My grandmother was a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lways kind to me and was my biggest fan. Though my parents were very busy with their own lives, my grandmother and I would sit around the kitchen table cooking and talking about our feelings for hours.
Eventually my tre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )asured weekends with my grandmother came to an end, when my father landed a job at an ad agency in New York City. But it turns out that the nine years I spent in Beauty's kitchen were enough for my lifetime.
51. Why did people in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the neighborhood call the author's grandmother " Beauty"
A. Because they were confused about the author's grandmother's name.
B. Because the a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uthor's grandmother insisted that people call her Beauty.
C. Because they accepted the way the author called her grandmother.
D. Because the neighbors wanted to make the author pleased.
52. While the author went shopping with her grandma,_____.
A. she could make many friends B. she shared the task with her
C. she had a t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )alk with the shop owners D. she felt very proud to stay with her
53. While spending the weekends with her grandma the author_____.
A. was able to lose some weight
B. was often made pleased by her grandma's neighbors
C. knew more about her parents
D. wondered why her mother disliked cooking
54. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Love and Cooking in Beauty’s Kitchen
B. A weight-losing Task for My Father
C. An Unforgettable Life with Grandma
D. Grandma Enjoy Being Called Beauty
【解题导语】这是一篇记叙文，作者回忆了小时候与外婆度过的周末时光，外婆豁达的性格给作者留下了深刻的印象。
51.C【命题意图】考查推理判断。
【解题思路】第二段说作者听外 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )婆说"Beauty"的次数太多，以为这就是她的名字，于是作者一直这样叫外婆，很快街坊就都这样叫了。由此判断选C。
52. D【命题意图】考查细节理解。
【解题思路】依据第三段中的"Be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )auty was very popular in her neighborhood, which made me feel happy to be with her. "可知，作者和外婆在一起时感到自豪。因此选项D正确。
53. C【命题意图】考查细节理解。
【解题思路】从第四段可知，作者从外婆那里了解到更多关于父母的事情。
54. A【命题意图】考查标题判断。
【解题思路】虽然作者在文章开头谈到了父亲的减 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )肥，但是在整个下文中，作者都在讲与外婆一起的时光，描述外婆对自己的爱，以及作者与外婆一起采购的经历。因此A项最适合作文章标题。

How would ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) you like to teach yourself, rather than have teachers According to the UK’s Department of Education and Skills, students will teach themselves in the schools of the future. This means that there will be no more problems such as finding enough teachers.
Estelle Mo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rris, the UK Education Secretary, opened the 2002 Education Technology Conference in London recently. To start the conference, she presented a video showing a computer—generated model of the school of tomorrow.
Greater us ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e of computer technology and classroom assistants will help students develop their own way of learning, Morris said. She added that this is a more exciting as well as a more interesting way of learning.
At the same ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) time, teachers will be “freed from their traditional role as the source of all knowledge”.
Children of a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll abilities will “form the curriculum(课程)around their individual needs.” They will “learn in their own time, at their own speed and in their own environment”.
At home or at sc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hool, they will follow their learning programmes by looking at online libraries and watching lessons by world-class teachers and subject experts.
Instead of going ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) on field trips, students will use virtual reality. If they don’t understand something, they can ask other students—“take part in virtual communities with learners with similar needs”—or e-mail their teachers. They will hand in their work electronically to be “auto-marked”.
The classroom of the future is fast becoming a reality.
And the Department ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of Education will soon produce a guide to help schools adapt buildings for new technology, Morris said. These ideas are based on the UK government’s plan to create an education system that provides students with a strong grounding of knowledge and skills at primary school level. And provides the chance for students to develop their individual skills at secondary school level.
36. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to the UK’s Department of Education and Skills, the school of the future will ______.
A. cause more problems such as being able to find enough teachers
B. set no homework and no tests for students
C. make good use of the computer technology and classroom assistants
D. enable students to learn by themselves without teachers
提示:依据第一段最后一句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )排除A项；依据第七段最后一句排除B项；第七段说如果学生有问题，可向老师发e-mail，因而不可说without teachers，排除D项。C项与第三段内容一致，故为正确答案。
答案:C
37. Estelle Morris th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )inks that computer technology does good to teachers in ________.
A. helping students develop their own way of learning
B. enabling s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tudents to experience interesting and exciting ways of learning
C. providing students with knowledge of all sorts
D. not being considered the source of various knowledge
提示:依据第四段判断正确答案为D项。

B. go to ask their teachers to help them
C. send e-mail to ask for a teacher’s help
D. have a look at other learners’ homework
答案:C 依据第七段“…or e-mail their teachers”
39. If s a st ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )udent is under the UK’s newly-developed education system,he will be ________.
A. provided with a basic knowledge from the beginning
B. given more knowledge at primary school level

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。
Living near th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e beach may come with an extra perk (利益): better health. A new study analyzed information from more than 48 million people in England and found that the nearer they lived to the coast, the more likely people were to report good health within the past year.
Living near ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the coast may be associated with better health because the seaside environment reduces stress, the researchers said. They pointed to another British study that found that people who took trips to the coast experienced more feelings of calmness and relaxation than those who visited urban parks or the countryside.
The differen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ce from living near the coast was relatively small. But a small effect, when applied to an entire population, can have a substantial impact on public health, said study researcher Ben Wheeler of Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry in Exeter, England.
However, it’s too soon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to advise people to hit the beach to improve health, Wheeler said. The study only found an association, not a cause-effect link, and it’s possible that other factors could explain the results. For instance, it could be that people who are wealthier, and therefore healthier, are more able to move to desired locations such as the coast, Wheeler said, a phenomenon known as the migrant effect. But the study did find that the association between coastal living and better health was strongest for those living in the poorest areas, which perhaps indicates that wealth cannot explain the results, Wheeler said.
Because the study l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ooked at only England—an island country in which everyone lives within 72 miles of the coast—it’s not clear whether the findings would apply to other populations. Far from England, a health expert not involved in the study said that while the British research certainly doesn’t prove that people’s health and the place they live are linked, it’s possible that proximity to the seas does something for our bodies.
If future studies conf ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )irm the results, the next step would be to find out it is what coastal environments that can benefit health. Wheeler said it may then be possible to bring those benefits to people living in other areas, through virtual environments, for instance.
1. We can conclude from the passage that ______.
A. people are encouraged to move to the coast
B. people pay increasingly attention to health
C. people living near the sea may be healthier
D. people are worried about residential environment
2. According to the researchers, living near the sea ______.
A. doesn’t nearly affect the British population
B. can cure some difficult diseases in a way
C. means freeing from sadness or troubles
D. can help get over one’s stress
3. What Ben Wheeler said means ______.
A. exact reasons are proposed for further research
B. concrete evidence favors life near the sea
C. wealthier people are likely to be healthier
D. the British public health is decreasing
4. What does the underlined word “proximity” in the passage mean
A. being d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )istant B. being close C. being similar D. being opposite

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
Free Wi-F ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )i has become very important to us: many stores and shopping malls offer it, restaurants use it to attract customers, and for libraries and coffee shops it is a must-have service.
Even when people a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re traveling, they scan for free Wi-Fi. When selecting or rating a hotel, six in ten travelers believe that unlimited Wi-Fi is the most important factor.
“Today, people wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll never forget to pack their smart phones, tablets and laptops into the suitcase,” said the Daily Mail. “We rely on free Wi-Fi heavily when traveling—especially when it comes to checking social media, checking out travel tips, and accessing websites.”
However, despite ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the opportunities that free Wi-Fi gives us, “our over-reliance on technology has come at a price, with travelers feeling unable to escape social media”, said Lonely Planet, the world’s largest travel guide brand.
Anita Isalska, Lo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nely Planet editor and tech addict, was forced to unplug when in an isolated (隔绝的) camp in Greenland recently. “Adjusting to this slower pace, I began to realize that: social media had changed into a habit,” she wrote. “I had believed I was capturing（捕捉） moments, but in reality my busy fingers were preventing me enjoying travel’s deepest pleasures. How fully can you appreciate a huge glacier or wild flowers when your brain is selecting the right photo filter (滤镜) or the perfect six seconds to take photos ”
In September, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Lonely Planet released 10 predictions for the future of global travel. One of them was that true escapes will be highly valued in future, so remote hotels will start to make their lack of the Internet into an appealing feature. Would you like to have an unplugged holiday
1. According to th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e passage, people nowadays tend to do the following EXCEPT .
A. getting ou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t of a library that has no access to the Internet B. thinking ill of a hotel without Wi-Fi
C. enjoying travell ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing better without carrying any Hi-Tech equipment D. making travel plans via the Internet
2. Through the fourth paragraph, the author intends to .
A. show a different o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pinion on the topic B. give more evidence to the view mentioned
C. get into another t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )opic D. summarize the previous paragraphs
3. What has Anita Isalska realized in Greenland
A. Travelers cannot survive without Hi-Tech.
B. Her fingers are not flexible enough to take enough pictures.
C. Taking pictures doesn’t affect appreciating nature.
D. Her over-reliance on technology has come at a price.
4. What does “an unplugged holiday” mean in the last paragraph
A. A camping holiday. B. A holiday without Wi-Fi.
C. A holiday in a r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )emote hotel. D. A holiday without taking pictures.
【语篇解读】本文是议论文，讨论free Wi-Fi以及科技对生活的影响。
1.C【命题立意】细节理解题。考查考生对具体信息的理解和提取能力。
【试题解析】本题针对文章前三段的内 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )容，也就是论述free Wi-Fi为人们生活带来的便捷。A源于第一段内容，B源于第二段内容，D源于第三段内容。而选项C来自第三段原文：“Today, people will never forget to pack their smart phones, tablets and laptops into the suitcase,” said the Daily Mail. “We rely on free Wi-Fi heavily when traveling…”
2.A【命题立意】写作意图题。考查考生把握文篇章结构和作者写作意图的能力。
【试题解析】第四段出现关键词：“However”，文章转向另外一个议论角度：free Wi-Fi 的缺点。
3.D【命题立意】细节理解题。考查考生对具体信息的判断能力。
【试题解析】对于A选项，Anita Is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )alska的经历说明没有高科技的生活是可能的。B和C选项的错误来源于对“I had believed I was capturing moments, but in reality my busy fingers were preventing me from enjoying travel’s deepest pleasures. How fully can you appreciate a huge glacier or meadow of wild flowers when your brain is selecting the right photo filter (滤镜) or the perfect six seconds to take photos ” 这段话的理解，即高科技分散了旅行者欣赏自然美景的精力。正确答案D来自于对第五段核心内容的概括，选项中还用了“come at a price”这个短语，该短语也被原作者使用在了第四段。
4.B【命题立意】词义猜测题。考查考生根据对上下文的理解推测词义的能力。
【试题解析】根据上文的“t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rue escapes”和“make their lack of the Internet into an appealing feature”可推测出“an unplugged holiday”指不使用高科技和免费Wi-Fi，从而尽情享受假期的度假模式。

A robot that ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n read emotions has been unveiled(公布于众的)in Japan by billionaire Masayoshi Son who says robots should be tender and make people smile．
Son’s mobile ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) phone company Soft Bank says that the robot named Pepper will go on sale in Japan in February for 198，000 yen (US$l，900)．Overseas sales plans are under consideration but undecided．
The machine，which has ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )no legs but has gently gesturing hands，appeared on a stage in a Tokyo suburb，cooing and humming．It dramatically touched hands with Son in an“ET”moment．
Son said Pepper ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )has been programmed to read the emotions of people around it by recognizing expressions and voice tones．“Our aim is to develop affectionate robots that can make people smile，”he said．

Many other Japane ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )se companies，including Hitachi and Toyota Motor Corp，have also developed various robots that entertain and serve as companions．The potential is great，as the number of elderly people requiring care is expected to soar(剧增)in rapidly aging Japan in coming years．
Bruno Maisonnier，fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )under and chief executive，who appeared on the stage with Son，said，“I believe that the most important role of robots will be as kind and emotional companions to improve our daily lives，to bring happiness and constantly surprise us．”

Even before my father ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can’t peel potatoes. I have only one hand.”
Mom never looked up f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rom sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”
In the second grade, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.
That night I to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ld Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we’ll see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.
“Now, pull up wit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung I reached. I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.
One night, after a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”
For a long time, I did ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint and cracking.

Scientists from ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the University of East Anglia have identified four new man-made gases that are contributing to the damage to the ozone(臭氧) layer. Two of the gases are accumulating at a rate that is causing concern among researchers.
Worries over t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he growing ozone hole have seen the production of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) gases restricted since the mid 1980s. But the precise origin of these new, similar substances remains a mystery.
Lying in t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he atmosphere, the ozone layer plays a critical role in blocking harmful UV rays, which cause cancers in humans and reproductive problems in animals.
Scientis ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts from the British Antarctic Survey were the first to discover a huge "hole" in the ozone over Antarctica in 1985. The evidence quickly pointed to CFC gases, which were invented in the 1920s, and were widely used in refrigeration. Extraordinarily, global action was rapidly agreed to deal with CFCs and the Montreal Protocol to limit these substances came into being in 1987. A total global ban on production came into force in 2010.
Now, the newly d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iscovered four new gases can destroy ozone and are getting into the atmosphere from as yet unidentified sources. Three of the gases are CFCs and one is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), which can also damage ozone.
The research ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s shown that four gases were not around in the atmosphere at all until the 1960s, which suggests they are man-made. The scientists discovered the gases by analyzing polar snow pack. Air from this snow is a natural archive of what was in the atmosphere up t0 100 years ago. The researchers also looked at modern air samples, collected at remote Cape Grim in Tasmania.
They estim ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ate that about 74,000 tonnes of these gases have been released into the atmosphere. Two of the gases are accumulating at significant rates. However, they don't know where the new gases are being released from and this should be investigated. Possible sources include chemicals for insecticide（杀虫剂） production and solvents（溶液） for cleaning electronic components. The three CFCs are being destroyed very slowly in the atmosphere - so even if emissions（散发） were to stop immediately, they will still be around for many decades to come.
Of the four spec ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ies identified, CFC-113a seems the most worrying as there is a very small but growing emission source somewhere, maybe from agricultural insecticides. We should find it and take it out of production.
63. What do we know about the newly discovered gases
A. Some are surely produced by the development of agriculture.
B. The CFCs will have a long impact once they are released.
C. They gather together in the atmosphere at a medium speed.
D. Their amounts are not large enough to cause damage to us.
64. The under ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lined word "archive" in Paragraph 6 is closest to the meaning of"____ "
A. state B. resource C. phenomenon D. storeroom
65. What will t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he scientists probably attempt to do about the gases next
A. Find out w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat can replace things like insecticides and put them into use.
B. Find out how th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ey destroy ozone and get rid of those in the atmosphere.
C. Find o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ut where they are exactly from and stop them from being released.
D. Find out if HC ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )FC is more harmful than CFCs and take proper measures.

Charles ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Dickens was one of the most beloved storytellers in the English language. His novels made him famous in his own time, and continue as classics in ours.
Dickens bega ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n his literary career with almost no formal education. He was born in Landport, on Feb. 7, 1812, the second of eight children. When he was 12, his father was sent to debtor's prison. Dickens was forced to quit school and work in a London blacking factory. He would rework that terrible experience into his fiction for the rest of his life.
"He was a social ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) reformer," says actor Simon Callow, author of a new biography called Charles Dickens and the Great Theatre of the World. "He knew what poverty was. He knew what it was to be rejected, to be cast aside, to live in squalor (悲惨)."
And so Dick ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ens wrote with great sympathy for the suffering of innocent and vulnerable (易受攻击的) children - characters like David Copperfield, Little Dorrit and the orphan, Oliver Twist:
With his slice ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of bread in his hand, and his little brown parish cap on his head, Oliver was now led away from the wretched home, where one kind word or look never lighted the gloom of his infant (幼儿) days.
Yet he burs ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t into an agony of childish grief as the cottage gate closed after him. Wretched as were the little companions in，misery he was now leaving behind him, they were the only friends he had ever had.
His first b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ook Sketches by Boz came out in 1836. With the appearance of Oliver Twist in London periodicals in 1837, the 25-year-old Dickens became the most popular writer in England. But his first love was theater, and he considered becoming an actor.
"When he was actu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ally writing, he became his characters," says Peter Ackroyd, author of Dickens: Public Life and Private Passion. "He would get up from his desk, go over to the mirror and mouth the words - do the expressions, grimaces (嵬脸), whatever, and then laugh, chuckle to himself, then go back to his desk and write it down."
Dickens crea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ted 989 named characters, which increased his popularity. Every one of his major works has been adapted for either stage or screen. A Christmas Carol inspired more than a dozen films, from Alistair Sims' Scrooge in 1951 to Jim Carrey's voicing of the same character in Disney's 2009, 3-D animated film.
The original ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )1843 manuscript（手稿） of A Christmas Carolis on display at the Morgan Library. Dickens wrote everything by hand, in tiny script, with a quill pen. Remarkably, the manuscript is both the first and the final draft, says Kiely, the curator. You can see where Dickens has changed the name of the first chapter from "Old Marley's Ghost" to "Marley's Ghost". Further down the page, he has canceled an entire section.
"He reali ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )zes he's not writing a novel, and he only has a very short time in which to write this," Kiely explains. "He's got to keep it tight, in order for it to be published in time for Christmas."
Dickens ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) wrote all the time. He traveled with a portable inkwell and a supply of quill pens. He was working on his last novel, Our Mutual Friend, en route from France to London when the train he was on crashed.
Dickens died fi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve years later in 1870, after a stroke at age 58. As a comic talent and a social reformer, Dickens' achievement was extraordinary, says novelist T.C. Boyle, who eamed a doctorate in Victorian literature.
"He achieved ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )what any great artist achieves - a body of work that has entertained and delighted and instructed people down through the ages. That's what we all hope for," says Boyle. But Dickens' greatest fiction was his own character, says Callow, the biographer: "People think of him as a cheerful man ... but he was increasingly suffering from depression and a sense of hopelessness. And that's worth knowing. I think it's always good to know that great creative individuals have their struggle, their drama."
66. What can probably be reflected in Dickens' works
A. His lov ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e for his family. B. His childhood sufferings.
C. His desire for ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )formal education. D. His reason to choose literary career.
67. The author quotes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Dickens' description of Oliver Twist mainly to show
A. that Dickens was full of pity for poor children
B. that Dickens knew well about poor children
C. what real poverty was like in his days
D. what kind of life Oliver Twist lived
68. It can be inferred from the passage that _
A. Sketches by Boz is nothing but a complete failure
B. Oliver Twist made Dickens first known to the public
C. A Christrwas Carol proved Dickens an efficient writer
D. Our Mutual Friend came into being on a train
69. We can learn from the passage that
A. all the characters created by Dickens are popular
B. people prefer films based on Dickens' novels to his works
C. Dickens were more interested in performing than in writing
D. the films ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and plays based on Dickens' novels raise his popularity
70. What did Dickens intend to do by telling his stories
A. To amuse his readers and change society.
B. To analyze the nature of society he was m.
C. To make an attack on the upper class of the time.
D. To get rid of his depression and sense of hopelessness.

Since the 197 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )0s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.
Recently, two resea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated（展示）a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person’s thoughts.
In the laboratory, T ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )avella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.
“our brain has ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) billions of nerve ceils. These send signals through the spinal cord （脊髓）to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”
The researchers design ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.
Prof. Millan, th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.”
He says his team h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit front. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.
71.BCI is a technology that can
A. help to u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pdate computer systems B. link the human brain with computers
C. help the d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )isabled to recover D. control a person's thoughts
72. How" did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory
A. By controlling his muscles. B. By talking to the machine.
C. By moving his hand. D. By using his mind.
73. Which of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5
A. scalp → computer →cap →wheelchair
B. computer →cap →scalp →wheelchair
C. scalp →cap →computer →wheelchair
D. cap → compute →scalp →wheelchair
74. The team will test with real patients to
A. make profits from ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) them B. prove the technology useful to them
C. make them live l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )onger D. learn about their physical condition
75. Which of the following would be the best title for the text

阅读理解。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。
I grew up in a hou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )se where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part. in. and live in.
With this unshaka ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ble belief, I, at. fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people’s writing can one discover what works, what doesn’t and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.
Now I am in colleg ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品)．As a. law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter—the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

A. He never watched TV.
B. He read what he had to.
C. He found reading unbelievable.
D. He considered ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) reading part of his life.
( ) 2. The ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )underlined word "voice" in the second paragraph most probably means “ ”.
A. an idea B. a sound quality
C. a way of writing D. a world to write about
( ) 3. What effect does reading have on the author
A. It helps him to realize his dream.
B. It opens up a wider world for him.
C. It makes his college life more interesting.
D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.

A. Why do I read B. How do I read
C. What do I read D. When do I read

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。
Home to me means ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a sense of familiarity and nostalgia(怀旧)．It's fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You'll realize what's changed is you. Home is where we can remember pain，love，and some other experiences：We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here.
If I close my eye ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass－top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It's empty，but it's where my earliest memories are.
There is the dining ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween—when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house，my parents' room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser（化妆台） lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime—waking up my parents if I am frightened or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.
I'm lucky becaus ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property(有形财产)on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof（evidence）I lived, I grew, and I learned.
Sometimes wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en I feel lost，I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it's where I'll find my family，my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed(责怪) by Mom. But I don't mind, because I want to hear her call my name，which reminds me I'm home.
1．Why does the autho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r call her parents' bed her “safe zone”(Paragraph 3)
A．It is her favorite place to play.
B. Her parents always play together with her there.
C. Her grandparents' photos are lined on each side.
D. Her needs can be satisfied there.
2．Sometimes when she feels lost，the author will ________．
A. open the window at night
B. lie down in bed to have a dream
C. try to bring back a sense of home
D. go to Los Angeles to visit her mom
3. Why do you th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ink the author leave the window open on purpose at night
A. Because she likes being blamed.
B. Because she ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )know her mom will blame her, which reminds her she is home.
C. Because she likes the fresh air.
D. Because she can have a good sleep with the window open.
4．What is the author's purpose of writing this passage
A. To express how much she is attached to her home.
B. To declare how much she loves her first house.
C. To describe the state of her family.

阅读理解
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳答案。
There is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) probably no field of human activity in which our values and lifestyles are shown more clearly and strongly than they are in the clothes that we choose to wear.The dress of an individual is a kind of “sign language” that communicates a set of information and is usually the basis on which immediate impressions are formed.Traditionally,a concern for clothes was considered to be an affair of females,while men took pride in the fact that they were completely lacking in clothes consciousness(意识).
This type o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f American culture is by degrees changing as man dress takes on greater variety and color.Even as early as 1955,a researcher in Michigan said that men attached rather high importance to the value of clothing in daily life. White collar workers in particular viewed dress as a symbol(象征)of ability,which could be used to impress or influence others,especially in the work situation.The white collar worker was described as extremely concerned about the impression his clothing made on his superiors(上司).Although blue collar workers were less aware(察觉到的)that they might be judged on the basis of their clothing,they recognized that any difference from the accepted pattern of dress would be made fun of by fellow workers.
Since that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )time,of course,the patterns have changed:the typical office worker may now be wearing the blue shirt,and the laborer a white shirt;but the importance of dress has not become less.Other researchers in recent years have helped to prove its importance in the lives of individuals at various age levels and in different social and economic status groups(阶层).
36.The passage tells us that _______.
A.our values and lifestyles are in no field of human activity
B.the clothes tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t we choose to wear have something to do with our values and lifestyles
C.our values and lifestyles are from the sign language
D.the clothes we cho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ose to wear depend on a set of information and immediate impression
提示:细节理解题。A、C、D三项内容与第一段前两句叙述不符。
答案:B
37.Traditionally,people usually thought that _______.
A.men cared very much for clothes
B.women were concerned greatly about what they wore while men didn’t
C.both men and women paid great attention to their clothes
D.neither men nor women showed interest in clothes
答案:B
38.Blue collar w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orkers pay attention to their clothes because _______.
A.they are concerne ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d about the impression their clothes make on their superiors
B.they know very cle ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )arly that people will judge them on the basis of their clothing
C.they want to impress and influence others
D.they don’t want to be laughed at
提示:从第二段最后一句来看，正确答案为D。
答案:D
39.Which of th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e following can best explain the underlined sentence in the second paragraph
A.Men thought the value of clothing in daily life was very important.
B.Men didn’t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) pay attention to the importance of the value of clothing in daily life.
C.Men thought little ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of the importance of the value of clothing in daily life.
D.Men were concerne ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d little about the value of clothing in daily life.
提示:第二段后半部分的例子就是证明这句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )话的。从例子可以看出，无论是白领阶层，还是蓝领工人;无论出于何种目的，他们都注意穿着打扮，都注重服装在生活和工作中的重要作用，所以A项是最恰当的解释。
答案:A
40.The passage mainly suggests that _______.
A.now men pay more attention to their clothes than women do

Businesses ar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers’ desire to go green. However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.
Two thirds of cus ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tomers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.
This may help ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s environmental reputation was not good enough.
Harry Morrison, chi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ef executive（主管）of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes：“I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking—we don’t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.”
Larger companies have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions（排放）. Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.
The Carbon T ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. “When companies are granted（授予）the standard, they can use a logo（标识）in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,” Mr. Morrison said.
( ) 1. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.
B. Companies will soon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) get information about cutting carbon emissions.
C. Firms are ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )king efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home.
D. Firms are urged t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o cut carbon emissions by shoppers’ environmental awareness.
( ) 2. The unde ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rlined word “inform” in Paragraph 2 probably means“ ”.
A. affect B. change C. disturb D. reject
( ) 3. According to Harry Morrison, businesses .
A. will benefit from cutting carbon emissions
B. should buy carbon allowances for shoppers
C. are required to make up for their carbon emissions
D. have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere
( ) 4. We can learn from the passage that businesses will .
A. have a strong desire to reduce costs
B. use the same logo in their marketing
C. gain advantages by taking early action
D. attract more shoppers by storing goods
【语篇解读】本篇文章为说明 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )文。现在顾客购物已经开始考虑环保的问题。面临顾客环保的心理需求，企业只有主动采取措施，减少排放，才会更好地赢得顾客的信赖，进而获得更好的收益
1.答案 D。
【解析】主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )句“However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns”及最后一段第一句可知，企业因购买者的环保意识而去减排。故选D项。
2.答案 A。
【解析】词义猜测题。由本段中 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy”可知，现在三分之二的顾客在购物时对环境的考虑比一年前程度加深了。因此A项符合句子意思
3.答案 A。
解析】推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“cu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand”可以推断出：商业会受益于减排。因此A项符合文章。
4.答案 C。
【解析】推理判断题。根据第五 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段最后一句“This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers”可知，早采取行动减排的企业可以更好地吸引顾客。因此可以推断出C项。河南滑县2016高考英语阅读理解二轮统练含答案
【阅读理解】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。
Skeptics are a stran ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ge lot.Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the enviroment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them.Those people，say skeptics，spread nothing but bad news about the environment.The “eco guilt”brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.
Perhaps that explains ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity.That book ，The Skeptical Environmentalist, declares that it measures the “real state of the world”as fine. Of course ，another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests. Indeed, Mr. Lomborg's views are similar to those of some industry funded organizations, which start huge activities through the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming.
So it was strange to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )see Mr. Lomborg's book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that “After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.”
Such one side ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborg's “preference for unexamined materials is incredible(不可信的)”．
A critical (批判的)eye ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests. People might become half blind before a world partially exhibited by the media. That's a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.
本文讲述了怀疑论者不承认人类活动对 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )环境造成的危胁，认为地球状况是良好的，这迎合了一些追求利益的商业公司。但是关系地球健康的问题是相当重要的，人们一定要严肃对待。
1. According to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he passage, which of the following may be regarded as “skeptics”？
A. People who agree on the popularity of “eco guilt”．
B. People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet.
C. People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities.
D. People who spread comforting news to protect our environment.
答案：B。细节理解题。根据短文第一段可知，怀 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )疑论者不承认人类活动对环境的影响。短文第二段第二句话中提到，他们认为世界的真正状态是好的，由此可知B项正确。
2. Which of t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborg's book
A．Some big businesses intend to protect their own interests.
B．The book challenges views about the fine state of the world.
C．The author convinces people to seek comforting worldviews.
D．Industry funded media present confusing information.
答案：A。细节理解题。根 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )据短文第二段最后一句话可知Lomborg的观点与一些由工业资助的组织的观点是相似的。因此可知这些大的组织为了自己的利益也不会注重环保。
3. The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to ______.
A. voice a different opinion B. find fault with Lomborg's book
C. challenge the au ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )thority of the media D. point out the value of scientific views
答案：A。推理判断题。第三段提到加拿大 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的一家报纸对Lomborg的书大加赞扬，第四段又提到这片面的观点应当受到挑战，然后说“Nature”杂志上就有不同的评论。由此可知A项正确。
4. What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage
A. To encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye.
B. To warn the public of the danger of half blindness with reviews.
C. To blame the m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )edia's lack of responsibility in presenting information.
D. To show the impor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tance of presenting overall information by the media.
答案：D。作者意图题。由短文最后一段第二句话可知，媒体应当提供全方位的信息，让人们在了解情况的前提下做出决定。由此可知D项正确。

Is it hard to know ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) how to react when your child hates reading, and even harder to figure-out how to inspire children to read Try these meaningful steps to help move your unwilling child toward a book-filled future.
Zero in on the chil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d's interests. Before you do anything, take a step back and examine what interests, or excites your child. Knowing what-interests him or her can help you find out what types of books he or she may enjoy reading.
Start small. Th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at your child likes to ride horses doesn't mean that he or she needs to start by reading The A -Z History of Horseback Riding; that may be frightening, especially for an unwilling reader. Instead, consider watching a horse race with your child. Talk about the jockeys, the scores, the owners and the trainers. If the topic of interest is useless, start small by finding a magazine related to the subject. Reading doesn't need to begin with a chapter book; many other texts and various types of magazines can be worthwhile for these situations.
Practice shared rea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ding. Shared reading could involve taking turns reading pages, or you and your child silently reading the same book. Shared reading can vary depending on your child's age and needs. Most kids really want to spend time with their parents, but once children reach seven or eight years old, many parents don't consider reading together. They think it is only meant for preschool or early elementary school days. For the ideal shared reading experience, choose texts that are rich, interesting and sure to lead to discussion. Part of the "sharing" in shared reading involves talking about the book. Perhaps several of your child's friends and their parents can start a book club where the books read through shared reading are discussed in a welcoming environment. Besides, find a reliable, child-safe website where your child can post a review of that book.
Unwilling readers are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) often struggling readers, so creating safe and comfortable environments where fluent reading is modeled and where children are set up for success is the key. Though there is no easy answer, it can help your child improve his reading interests.
36. Why don't ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) many parents consider reading with their children aged 7 or 8
A. They fail to k8now their children’s interests.
B. They don't understand their children's needs.
C. They think it unnecessary to do so at this time.
D. They have not prepared well yet.
37. Finding a child-safe website can_______.
A. build up a good reading environment
B. help children improve book reviews on the website
C. help children get some information from the Internet
D. inspire children to create a review of the book they read
38. According to th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e passage, in what order should we take the following steps to help the young unwilling readers
a. Set up a book club for children.
b. Check what children like first of all.
c. Lead children to start with something easy.
d. Spend some time reading with children.
A. a-c-d-b B. b-c-a-d
C. b-d-a-c D. b-c-d-a
39. We can conclude from the passage that________.
A. these steps have no focus or direction
B. these steps are not practical but easy to take
C. these steps aren't definitely reliable to operate
D. these steps are not magic but every little step helps

F. Scott Fitzgeral ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton. University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.
His life with h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: “My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”
This side of parad ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quick brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.
However, Fitzgerald ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )’s problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The Love of the Last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to alcohol. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism.

A. had made some money when he met Zelda in Alabama.
B. was well educated and well off before he served in the army
C. would have completed more works if his wife hadn’t broken down
D. helped his friend g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )et rid of drinking while his wife was in hospital

Tim Richter ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York--he in computers, she in special education. "Teaching means everything to us," Tim would say. In April1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose.
Not long a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fter the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton' s foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire," Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, "as a reminder."
Five years la ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ter, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination . The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.
The quality of th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e books was of great concern to the Richter. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dolly wood for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books-reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dolly wood board members-included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.
Satisfied, th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of.”
The Richter spend ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) about ＄400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”
( ) 1.What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life
A. His healt ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h problem. B. His love for teaching.
C. The influence ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of his wife. D. The news from the Web.
( ) 2.What ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library
A. Give out broch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ures. B. Do something similar.
C. Write books f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or children D. Retire from being a teacher.
( ) 3.According to the text, Dolly Parton is .
A. a well-known s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )urgeon B. a mother of a four-year-old
C. a singer b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orn in Tennessee D .a computer programmer
( ) 4.Why did the Richter go to Dolly wood
A. To avoid signing up online.
B. To meet Dolly wood board members.
C. To make sure the books were the newest.
D. To see if the books were of good quality.
( ) 5.What can we learn from Tim’s words in the last paragraph

阅读理解。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。
Businesses are w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )itnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers’ desire to go green. However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.
Two thirds of custo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.
This may help to inf ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )luence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s environmental reputation was not good enough.
Harry Morrison, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )chief executive（主管）of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes：“I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking—we don’t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.”
Larger compani ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions（排放）. Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.
The Carbon Trust bel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ieves that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. “When companies are granted（授予）the standard, they can use a logo（标识）in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,” Mr. Morrison said.
( ) 1. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.
B. Companies will so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on get information about cutting carbon emissions.
C. Firms are making ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home.
D. Firms are urge ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d to cut carbon emissions by shoppers’ environmental awareness.
( ) 2. The u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nderlined word “inform” in Paragraph 2 probably means“ ”.
A. affect B. change C. disturb D. reject
( ) 3. According to Harry Morrison, businesses .
A. will benefit from cutting carbon emissions
B. should buy carbon allowances for shoppers
C. are required to make up for their carbon emissions
D. have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere
( ) 4. We can learn from the passage that businesses will .
A. have a strong desire to reduce costs
B. use the same logo in their marketing
C. gain advantages by taking early action
D. attract more shoppers by storing goods
【语篇解读】本篇文章为说明文。现 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )在顾客购物已经开始考虑环保的问题。面临顾客环保的心理需求，企业只有主动采取措施，减少排放，才会更好地赢得顾客的信赖，进而获得更好的收益

3、答案 A。
解析】推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand”可以推断出：商业会受益于减排。因此A项符合文章。

【解析】推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句“Th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers”可知，早采取行动减排的企业可以更好地吸引顾客。因此可以推断出C项。

In addition to his health problems, we struggled with the lack of transparency in what his health insurance plan covered, and with substantial out-of-pocket costs. We were often left with unexpected bills after appointments and medical procedures with little recourse(援助).
At times-it felt a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s though the system was set up against us. On several occasions, his insurance company interfered with his treatment, dictating important decisions about his care rather than his doctors. And there was little we could do about it. Helping my mom navigate the process proved to be a frustrating and expensive burden on us. Throughout it all, I would often wonder how many other families were in the same boat struggling with rising health care costs and the worst insurance industry abuses.
Not long aft ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er my dad passed away, I first heard then Senator Obama speak about his own mother's struggles with health insurance and the need to pass health reform. I knew that I had to be a part of making that change. Since joining the Obama Administration in 2009, I've worked hard to help implement the Affordable Care Act. It's an honor to come to work every day at the White House to help make this landmark legislation a reality for millions of hard-working Americans who will benefit from the security and peace of mind of having health insurance.

A. going by ship
B. taking the same boat
C. in the same good state
D. in the same difficult situation
29. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. The writer's father has died.
B. The writer's mother has died.

Every year 2.2 mill ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ion tons of oil are spilled ( 散落，溅出 ) into the ocean. Actually, this only amounts to a small percentage of the total 1.6 billion tons of oil shipped around the world each year.However, this spilled oil has terrible effects on ocean life, including the coastlines where the off washes up onto shore. Some of the largest spills in history were caused by oil tankers running into each other or by an oil tanker sailing into shallow water and hitting the bottom of the ocean. After these spills, officials try to discover who or what was at fault to help prevent similar accidents in the future.
One of the worst oi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l spills in history occurred along the Alaskan coastline in 1989. In this accident, 42,000 tons of oil spilled from a tanker which resulted in terrible damage to this sensitive natural area. In this spill, the tanker's captain, who was tired from overwork and drinking alcohol, had gone to take a rest. He gave control of the ship to the third mate. The third mate was unfamiliar with the path the ship took, and he ran the ship onto Blighe Reef. Blighe Reef is a natural underwater rock wall near the Alaskan coast. Damaged by the reef, the ship leaked oil out into the ocean. More than 1,600 kilometers of coastline were affected by the oil spill. Some scientists who studied nature in the area guessed that 580,000 birds and 5,500 otters died when the oil from the spill covered their skin. As well, smaller shellfish and other sea creatures were later eaten by seals, whales, and other animals.
The most oil ev ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er spilled was actually dumped on purpose as an act of ecological warfare. The term ecological warfare means to fight by doing harm to nature in the area under attack. In 1990, Iraq sent soldiers into Kuwait and set off the Persian Gulf War. As part of the Iraq war plan,900,000 tons of oil were let out into the Persian Gulf Way Iraq. This oil covered 1,500 square kilometers of water in the Persian Gulf. The oil also damaged 650 kilometers of the coastline of both Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. In some places, oil floating on the water was measured to be 43 centimeters thick. Water birds, water plants, and baby fish were all seriously affected by the oil. The long-term effects of this act on the food chain in the area are bound to cause problems tar into the future.
1. Which cause of oil spills is described in the second paragraph
A. Dumping B. War
C.Accidents D.Throwing about carelessly
答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节理解题。从第二 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段的前半部分可知，由于油轮的船长过度工作并且喝醉，将船交给了船上的另外一名对船的航线不熟悉的人，从而导致了触礁事件。故选C。
2. The creatures affected by the oil spill near Alaska were_________.
A. birds and otters B. shellfish
C. seals and whales D. all of the above
答案解析：答案为D。本题为细节题 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。从第二段最后两句话 “Some scientists who studied nature in the area guessed that 580,000 birds and 5,500 otters died when the oil from the spill covered their skin. As well, smaller shellfish and other sea creatures were later eaten by seals, whales, and other animals.”可知，答案为D。
3. The third ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) mate ran the thanker agound (触礁) in this accident because_______.
A. he was tired B. he was drunk
C.he was talking on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the phone D.he did not know the sea

4. ________ was responsible for dumping oil into the Persian Gulf.
A.The United St ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ates B. Kuwait C .Saudi Arabia D. Iraq
答案解析： 答案为D。本题为细节题。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )从最后一段第三句话 “In 1990, Iraq sent soldiers into Kuwait and set off the Persian Gulf War.”可知，对波斯湾倾油事件负责的是伊拉克。
