2014高考英语阅读理解提升全程训练（7）及答案阅读理解-A(201*·四川卷，A)It's 5：00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I force my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. It's not a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother's chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you，” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it's okay to just say “no”. I shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat.So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5：00 am.？What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self­confidence and energy，extends life and above all improves my body shape.This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right.It's through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.一个每天按时起床锻炼身体的女人，一个有着自己个性与喜好的女人，为了保持自己的体型，降低压力，提高自信，坚持着这种日复一日的锻炼，让自己每天都挂着笑容面对生活。1Why is there a smile on the author's face in the morning?ABecause she sees her family sleeping peacefully.BBecause she finishes her favorite exercise.CBecause she enjoys the interesting DVD.DBecause she feels a sense of achievement.答案：D。细节判断题。根据第一个段落的最后一句话， 先排除C的说法；在本句中“a smile of success of pushing”可以断定其实是一种成就感令她脸上挂着笑容。最大的干扰项可能会是B，但如果细读，会找到关键词“success”。2Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?AShe doesn't treat others politely.BShe likes to make others surprised.COthers don't understand what she dose.DOthers try to help her by offering her food.答案：C。细节判断题。从本段的情节来看，选项A，D都相差甚远；而“I need exercise to get through each day”正是表明了作者的喜好，而不是像选项B说的喜欢出奇，故排除B。从“raised their eyebrows, surprised by.”来看，其实别人是感到奇怪而已。3What does the underlined word “commitment” in the last paragraph mean?AGood health. BFirm belief.CA strong power. DA regular habit.答案：B。词意理解题。从全文的语境信息来看，这么多年，这么坚持，这么享受，而且从“sweat”一词身上也能找到提示，即：坚定的信念与汗水，故选项B最符合语境。4What can we learn about the author from the text?AShe acts in a strange way.BShe wants to look different from others.CShe aims to develop a good body shape.DShe has difficulty getting along with others.答案：C。理解判断题。文章的最后一段中有一句话“above all improves my body shape”，从这句话中可以确定选项C的说法是正确的。阅读理解When you consider what subject to study in college, chances are that you and your parents will think about what you can make out of it after graduation. You will likely ask the question: “Can I find a well-paid job or simply a job with a degree in this in the future?” This consideration also influences students when they come to choose between studying science or humanities (人文学科) at college. People generally believe that the humanities, which include literature , history, cultural studies and philosophy, do not prepare students for a specific vocation (职业). Science subjects, however, are considered vocational courses that produce scientists, engineers and economists (经济学家). “I've decided to take finance as my college major. My parents and I think this subject will help me get a good job or start a business,” said Huachen Yueru, 17, a science student at Wuxi No. 1 High School. Even those who choose a liberal arts (文科) education often pick the humanities subject which they think will best help them later find a job. “I'm going to study Spanish in college, which I believe will open doors to a high-paying job for me,” said Liu Chao, 18, a Senior 2 student at Dalian No 20 High School. He said few of his classmates show interest in subjects like philosophy and history, which are seen as “less promising” in job markets.The popularity of liberal arts subjects among college students has also been decreasing in the United States. American scholars (学者) and universities are concerned that in the ongoing economic crisis (经济危机) liberal arts subjects will be hit hardest. As money tightens (紧缩), they worry that the humanities may become “a great luxury (奢侈品) that many cannot afford”, according to the New York Times.44. When you consider what to study in college, what does you and your parents usually think about ? A. whether you are interested in the subject.B. if you can lead a happy life.C. what you can make out of it after graduation.D .How much you can learn in the college. 45.Why do students show little interest in the subjects, like philosophy or history ? A .Because they are not interested in them. B. Because they think these subjects are useless.C. Because they see these subjects as less-promising in job market. D. Because they like the science subjects. 46. What can we infer from the passage ?A. Humanities are becoming less and less popular with the students.B. Studying science subjects is sure to find a well-paid job.C. The humanities in college should be cancelled. D. The writer thinks those who choose the liberal arts education will choose their favorite subjects.47. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the first paragraph ?A. the subject you study in college B. science C. humanities D. liberal arts 体裁：说明文 词数：326 难度系数： 建议用时：8分钟类别：细节理解+推理判断题+词义猜测题 本文标题 ：Arts in crisis【文章大意】：文章主要向人们介绍了在大学里面的人文科学的科目正在受到人们的冷落，并解释了该种现象产生的原因。44.【考点分析】细节理解题。【参考答案】C。【解题思路】文中第一段提到you and your parents will think about what you can make out of it after graduation，可知你和父母首先考虑的是毕业后的问题。 45.【考点分析】事实细节题。【参考答案】C。【解题思路】文中第五段中提到which are seen as "less promising" in job markets，可知人们把哲学和历史这样的人文学科看成是没有工作市场的学科，故C 项正确。.46.【考点分析】推理判断题。【参考答案】A。【解题思路】文中提到在大学里人文科学已经越来越不受学生和家长的欢迎，为了毕业后的就业，人们更多的是选择具有很好的就业形势的理科类。因此A项符合题意，其余选项说法不恰当。.47.【考点分析】词义猜测题。【参考答案】A。【解题思路】 文中第一段提到的是家长和学生在选择专业时考虑的是毕业后的形式，因此可推知此处的it 代指前面的the subject to study in college，故A 项正确。较难题目特训：科普知识类Plants are flowering faster than scientists predicted (预测) in reaction to climate change, which could have long damaging effects on food chains and ecosystems. Global warming is having a great effect on hundreds of plant and animal species around the world, changing some living patterns, scientists say. Increased carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air from burning coal and oil can have an effect on how plants produce oxygen, while higher temperatures and changeable rainfall patterns can change their patterns of growth. “Predicting speciesreaction to climate change is a major challenge in ecology, ” said the researchers of several U. S. universities. They said plants had been the key object of study because their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem services. The study, published on the Nature website, uses the findings from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four continents and 1, 634 species. It found that some experiments had underestimated (低估) the speed of flowering by 8. 5 times and leafing by 4 times. “Across all species, the experiments under- predicted the speed of the advancefor both leafing and floweringthat results from temperature increases, ”the study said. The design of future experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plants will react to climate change, it said. Plants are necessary for life on the Earth. They are the base of the food chain, using photosynthesis (光合作用) to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water. They let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism on the planet. Scientists believe the worlds average temperature has risen by about 0. 8 since 1900, and nearly 0. 2 every ten years since 1979. So far, efforts to cut emissions (排放) of planet- warming greenhouse gases are not seen as enough to prevent the Earth heating up beyond 2 this centurya point scientists say will bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common, leading to drought, floods, crop failures and rising sea levels. 1. What is the key information the author wants to give in Paragraph 1? A. Plantsreaction to weather could have damaging effects on ecosystems. B. The increasing speed of flowering is beyond scientistsexpectation. C. Climate change leads to the change of food production patterns. D. Food chains have been seriously damaged because of weather. 2. We can learn from the study published on the Nature website that.A. plantsflowering is 8. 5 times faster than leafingB. there are 1, 634 plant species on the four continentsC. scientists should improve the design of the experimentsD. the experiments failed to predict how plants react to climate change3. Scientists pay special attention to the study of plants because.A. they can prove the climate change clearlyB. they are very important in the food chainsC. they play a leading role in reducing global warmingD. they are growing and flowering much faster than before4. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs about the worlds temperature? A. It has risen nearly 0. 2 since 1979. B. Its change will lead to weather extremes. C. It is 0. 8 higher in 1979 than that of 1900. D. It needs to be controlled within 2 in this century. 【参考答案】18.BCBD阅读理解-D An Australian company, Smart Car Technologies, has developed a system that lets drivers know when theyre speeding. When the technology becomes commercially available, it could help lead-footed drivers avoid tickets and also save lives. The company that developed the product hopes to convince Australian government agencies to put the technology into use in their automobile fleets.The product, called Speed Alert, links real-time location data and speed obtained with the help of GPS to a database of posted speed limits stored in a drivers PDA or programmable mobile phone. The setup of the product does not need to be hooked up to a cars speedometer. In fact, it is entirely portable. It will also work with newer phones and PDAs that have built-in GPS receivers. If a driver exceeds the speed limit, the speed is shown and an alert sounds.Michael Paine, an Australian vehicle design engineer and traffic safety consultant, was hired to analyze the product. He told Live Science that his colleagues in the road safety field are “very enthusiastic” about what theyre now calling “intelligent speed alert.” Other research, according to Paine, shows that 40 percent of all traffic deaths involve speeding. There is also a potentially controversial future use: “Since the system is so portable, it would be easy to make it a requirement for teenage drivers to always use a speed alert device when driving,” Paine said. “The system even has the capability to record speeding violations, so parents can monitor their teenage drivers.”The product will soon go on sale in Sydney.48. Whats the purpose of the new product?A. To inform us of the new car system. B. To introduce some improvement in cars.C. To limit certain drivers to safe driving. D. To popularize the built-in car system.49. The second paragraph mainly talks about .A. the project of the built-in product B. why the system becomes popularC. the functions of GPS in cars D. how the product is programmed50. Which of the following is true of Speed Alert according to Michael Paine?A. Most of the traffic deaths can be avoided. B. Speeding violations can be easily found out.C. The system will excite some teenage drivers. D. The product will not be available for adults.51. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Speed Alert and Its Future Use.B. Progress in Car-making Science.C. Warning for Adventurous Drivers.D. New In-Car Device against Speeding.D体裁：科普文章 词数：265 难度系数： 建议用时：7分钟 类别：推理判断题+主旨大意题+词义猜测题+细节理解题 本文标题： An alert device against speeding 【文章大意】：文章主要 向人们讲述了一种现代科学技术下的汽车超速提示系统。48.【考点分析】推理判断题。【参考答案】C。【解题思路】 文中第一段提到这个系统能够帮助驾驶员降低速度减少收到罚单的几率并能够保证司机的驾驶安全。根据这些分析我们可以发现C项正确。其余几项说明的不是这个新产品的目的。而是这个文章的目的。49.【考点分析】主旨大意题。【参考答案】D。【解题思路】 通读第二段我们可知该段主要讲述了这种产品的运行程序。50.【考点分析】细节理解题。【参考答案】B。【解题思路】文章最后一段提到的Michael Paine 的看法。A项的说法是错误的。C项没有根据，文中仅提到了这个产品对Teenagers 的限制。D 项说法错误。故文中提到teenagers 的超速驾驶将会被记录下来，B项正确。51.【考点分析】主旨大意题。【参考答案】D。【解题思路】本文介绍限制汽车超速的装置，因此选D。A项指代不清，没有明确指出是汽车。B、C项过于片面。阅读理解-EThe financial crisis is reminding Americans of a lesson they first learned in childhood: Share and share alike. They are sharing or swapping tools and books, cars and handbags, time and talent. The renewed desire to share shows up in a variety of examples: A car-sharing service has had a 70 percent membership increase since the crisis occurred. Some companies encouraged his employees to take vanpooling. Governments are putting bikes on the street for public use. How-to-swap Web sites are increasing quickly. The economy reflects the way Americans have cut back, especially on daily items: Department store sales dropped 1.3 percent in June. People are not buying cars, and as a result, auto sales dropped 27.7 percent last month. They are not paying others to do what they can do themselves Home Depot reports increased attendance at in-store do-it-yourself clinics. And although paint sales are down in general, according to Sherwin-Williams, individual consumers are still buying. When Tom Burdett needed to cut some tiles at his home outside Annapolis, he refused to buy expensive tools. So he asked his neighbors and friends for help. Sure enough, someone had just what he needed. And when that friend needed help fixing a satellite dish, Burdett volunteered to help. The sharing mind-set is not new to the American culture, but many Americans give it up when the nation changed from an agricultural society to an industrial one, said Rosemary Hornak, a psychology professor at Meredith College in Raleigh, N.C. They moved farther from their families and did not have time to connect with new neighbors because they worked so much, she said. Neighborhood conversations tell more of the story as the movement grows organically (持续地) in communities across the Washington region and the nation. On one street in Arlington, for example, neighbors are collecting their separate money for mulch (覆盖料) and dividing it among themselves. 52.
