2014高考英语阅读理解预演解密训练（2）及答案 阅读理解(一)-CSome years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity.I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary.I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper.After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, wellequipped with pens, a diary, and a camera.During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across.I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels.On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand.The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.I automatically took out my pen.At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful.I take pictures, but not very oftenonly of objects I find really beautiful.I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old.I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes.Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.I don't live to make memoriesI just live, and the memories form themselves.9Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of_.Aobserving her school routineBexpressing her satisfactionCimpressing her classmatesDpreserving her history解析细节理解题。由文章第一段的最后一句话“After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past？”可知，我认为通过看过去经历的记录是保存过去的一种方式，故选D项。答案D10What caused a change in the author's understanding of keeping a diary?AA dull night on the journey.BThe beauty of the great valley.CA striking quotation from a book.DHer concerns for future generations.解析细节理解题。由第三段的第一句话“At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.”可知，山谷的美让我意识到没有什么能比得上让自己去体验美。故选B项。答案B11What does the author put in her diary now?ANotes and beautiful pictures.BSpecial thoughts and feelings.CDetailed accounts of daily activities.DDescriptions of unforgettable events.解析细节理解题。由第四段第一句话“Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.”可知现在“我”只把一些特殊想法和感受写在日记里，故正确答案为B项。答案B12The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is_.Ato experience itBto live the present in the futureCto make memoriesDto give accurate representations of it解析细节理解题。由最后一段的最后一句“I don't live to make memories.I just live，and the memories form themselves”可知A项正确，C项不正确；由第四段最后一句“I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera，busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.”可知B项错误。由最后一段第二句话“Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places；maybe I'll forget certain facts，but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.”可知D项错误。答案A高考英语冲刺阅读理解专项-AA child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises (出现) from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two - headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar (奇怪的) that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl -friend.No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.1. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is _.A. repeated without any change     B. treated as a jokeC. made some changes by the parent   D. set in the present答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节推理题。 由第一段的 “It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.”可知，作者认为如果父母讲神话故事结合小孩所在的真实时间情况，而不仅仅是从故事书上读故事，效果更好。故答案为C，即父母如果对神话故事作一些变化，更有效。解答此题要注意同一意思的不同表达。2. According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is _.A. in a realistic setting    B. heard for the first timeC. repeated too often    D. told in a different way答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节题。由第二段 “As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once.”可知，作者认为如果故事只讲了一遍，小孩会产生恐惧感。故答案为B。3.The advantage claimed (提出) for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it _.A. makes them less fearfulB. develops their power of memoryC. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid ofD. encourages them not to have strange beliefs答案解析：答案为A。本题为细节推理题。由第二段的最后一句话 “Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.”可知，作者认为不断的重复故事可以让小孩变得熟悉(familiarity)故事, 这样恐惧的痛苦（pain of fear） 就会变成恐惧的快乐（pleasure of a fear），故答案为A。B，D在文章中未提及；C选项 “让小孩相信没有什么可害怕的” 意思与此不符，且此答案显得绝对。4. The authors mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that _.A. fairy stories are still being made upB. there is some misunderstanding about fairy talesC. people try to modernize old fairy storiesD. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays答案解析：答案为B。本题为推断题。从第三段 “If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl -friend.” 和第四段 “No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.” 可知，作者的观点是神话故事不是对现实世界的描述，没有哪个聪明的小孩相信它们是真的。故答案为B，作者用sticks and telephones 来证明一些人对神话故事存在误解。5. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _.A. they are full of imaginationB. they just make up the stories which are far from the truthC. they are not interestingD. they make teachers of history difficult to teach答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节题。从第三段的首句 “There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two - headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist”可知，也有人反对神话故事是因为它们不是客观真实的，故答案为B。解答此题同样要注意同义句的转换， “not in favor of”与object to 同义；”not objectively true” 与 “far from the truth”同义。较难题目特训：科普知识类Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things. A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly. The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common symptoms. Certain microorganisms(微生物) cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the body, these tiny living things release(释放) poisons that make people sick. Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown, processed, or prepared. For example, many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects. Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops. Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people. These include certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and mushrooms. When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small. Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces. Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing. Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms. People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans. In addition, some types of fish can be poisonous. Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water. If people eat natural poisons, they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied. 1. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Food when poisoned can make people sick.B. Food poisoning means death.C. Food poisoning comes in varieties.D. Food poisoning can be serious.2. We know from the passage that the symptoms of food poisoning.A. are always accompanied by a feverB. are too common to be notedC. can be noticed within hoursD. can be ignored3. Food poisoning can be caused by all the following EXCEPT.A. some chemicals B. low temperaturesC. some tiny living things D. certain natural materials4. From Paragraph 5, we can learn that.A. mushrooms should not be eatenB. vegetables are safer than meat and seafoodC. natural poisons are more dangerous than chemicalsD. different types of food should be handled differently5. It can be inferred from the passage that.A. natural materials are safe in food processingB. chemicals are needed in food processingC. food poisoning can be kept under controlD. food poisoning is out of control【参考答案】30.1-5 BCBDC高考英语冲刺阅读理解专项-BWith the possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the most heated argument across the United States today is the death penalty (死刑). Many argue that it is an effective deterrent (威慑) to murder, while others think there is no enough proof that the death penalty reduces the number of murders.The argument advanced by those opposed （反对） to the death penalty is that it is cruel and inhuman punishment, that it is tile mark of a bad society and finally that it is of questionable effectiveness as a deterrent to crime (罪行) anyway.In our opinion, the death penalty is a necessary action. Throughout recorded history there have always been those peculiar persons in every society who made terrible crimes such as murder. But some are more dangerous than others.For example, it is one thing to take the life of another in time of blind anger, but quite another to coldly plan and carry out the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher. Thus, murder, like all other crimes, is a matter of different degree. While it could be argued with some reason that the criminal in the first instance should be merely kept from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type murderer.The value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to discussion. But the majority of people believe that the death penalty protects them. Their belief is proved by the fact that the death penalty prevents murder. For example, from 1954 to 1963, when the death penalty was carried out from time to time in California, the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100, 000 population. Since 1964 the death penalty has been done only once, and the murder rate has risen to10.4 murders for each 100, 000 population. The sharp climb in the state's murder rate, which began when killings stopped, does not happen by chance. It certainly shows that the death penalty does deter many murderers. If the law about death penalty is vetoed (否决), some people will be murdered- some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect. This is really a life or death matter. The lives of thousands of people must be protected.1. The main purpose of this passage is to _.A. speak for the majority    B. support a vetoC. speak ill of the government    D. argue for the value of the death penalty答案解析：答案为D。本题为文章的主旨大意题。由第一段的 “Many argue that , while others think .”和最后一段的首句 “The value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to discussion.”可知，本文讨论死刑的价值。2. Which of the following is among the heated arguments across the USA besides death penalty?A. Air pollution. B. The war against Iraq.C. Equal rights. D. Election of president.答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节题。从第一段的首句 “With the possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the most heated argument across the United States today is the death penalty (死刑).” 可知，除了人权问题，在美国讨论最热烈的问题是死刑。3. The numbers in the last paragraph show that _.A. if they stick to death penalty, the number of murders will be reducedB. death penalty almost stopped from 1954 to 1963C. the population of California has risenD. death penalty is of little value答案解析：答案为A。本题为推理题。从最后一段的第二句 “But the majority of people believe that the death penalty protects them.” 和最后三句 “If the law about death penalty is vetoed (否决), some people will be murdered- some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect. This is really a life or death matter. The
