2014高考英语阅读理解全程基础训练(9)及答案 (三)A-(2013·辽宁,A)China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colorssilver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.文章大意:中国是个自行车大国,因为骑自行车方便省钱。作者为了体验中国文化的这一面,亲自骑自行车,结果感觉非常好。1According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?ABecause they are traditional and safe.BBecause they are convenient and inexpensive.CBecause they are colorful and available.DBecause they are fast and environment friendly.答案:B推理判断题。从第一段中的For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.可知答案。2The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended _.Ato ride it for funBto use it for transportCto experience local cultureDto improve his riding skills答案:C细节理解题。从第三段的Eager to be part of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle.可知答案。3How did the author feel about his street crossing?AIt was boring.

Whether that is good or bad, we can't really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyles. We now shop at organic(有机的) stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of homemade fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.文章大意:作者夫妇俩把绿色环保的生活作为了一种生活方式。不但自己在生活中注意绿色生活,还教育别的人拥有这种有利于环境保护的生活方式。5What might be the best title for the passage?AGoing GreenBProtecting the PlanetCKeeping OpenMindedDCelebrating Our Green Year答案:A主旨大意题。本文在第一段开篇点题。全文围绕绿色生活展开叙述。故A项为本题答案。6It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because _.Athey were expected to follow the green fadBthey didn't know how to educate other peopleCthey were unwilling to reduce their energyDthey needed to perform unusual green tasks答案:D推理判断题。从文章的第三段和第四段可知,作者夫妇要进行绿色生活必须要做一些不寻常的事情。故D项为正确答案。7What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year?AThey tried to get out of their ungreen habits.BThey ignored others' ungreen behavior.CThey chose better chemical cleaners.DThey sold their homemade food.答案:A细节理解题。从文章的第四段特别是第四段的最后一句话In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.可知答案。8What can we infer from the last paragraph?AThe government will give support to the green project.BThe couple may continue their project in the future.CSome people disagree with the couple's green ideas.DOur Green Year is becoming a national campaign. 答案:B推理判断题。文章最后一段说的是作者一家对自己的绿色生活很满意,并且对于自己对环境的作用充满信心,故会继续自己的这种活动。阅读理解-DAs students and teachers returned to school on Monday after the publication of performance ratings(等级) for 18,000 teachers, many parents said they were giving the reports serious thought. Yet there was an equal measure of skepticism among parents that test scores have any relationship with teachers competence.Some said they already knew how good a teacher was by walking into the classroom or by monitoring their childrens progress. “Im the kind of person who likes to see for themselves,” a father in Queens said.Others worried about how their fellow parents, perhaps ones with sharper elbows, might respond.

Move their children to a new school?Elizabeth Sane, the mother of a fourth grader at the Ella Baker School, a kindergarten-through-eighth-grade school on the Upper East Side, said that her daughter was switched to a different teachers class over the summer, and that it was “like adding salt to the wound” when she saw the high ratings for her daughters previous teacher. Her daughters teacher this year did not receive a rating because he previously taught high schoolMs. Sane said that the rating was not the only factor that influenced how she assessed a teachers performance, but that the data used for teacher evaluations mattered.But other parents dropping their children off at the Ella Baker School said they did not trust teacher ratings based on test scores any more than they wanted their childrens learning measured only by the state exams.“Some people take it as the final word, but it doesnt change who they are as teachers.
