2014高考英语阅读理解二轮专题训练精品题（17）及答案阅读理解-ATelepathy is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses.Its an instinct which can be woken up in times of emergency or need. When we feel that something is happening or about to happen by instinct, were using resources wihtin the unconscious mind. When the resources of two persons unconscious minds think link together into the same frequency. We call it telepathy. We can either send or receive telepathy. If you know who is calling before you answer the ringing phone, you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a person, and they call you, you are most likely better at sending.You can easily put your abilities to the test. Think of somebody and will them to contact you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver, but they should contact you much earlier than would normally be expected. Or whenever the phone rings, try "feeling" who's contacting you. Don't guess, try to feel the vibrations. However, if neither of these work for you, that doesn't mean that you are not capable of telepathy. As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency. Telepathic Dreams often contain telepathic messages. Two people may both dream of the other, and find that their dreams have a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each others uncounscious mind.Telepathy&Relationships The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the others mind, especially when separated.There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand the others, mind through time spent together；the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate. A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the child desperately wanting his/her mother, knowing that this is the person who would always want to be there for them, and the mothers deep desire to protect her child from harm. 1. When does telepathy occur? A. It occurs when one senses that a close friend of his/her is in danger. B. It occurs when one has very good five senses. C. It occurs when one wants to call his/her best friend. D. It occurs when one doesnt know a stranger. 答案解析：答案为A。本题为推理题。由第一段第一、二句话 “Telepathy is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses.Its an instinct which can be woken up in times of emergency or need.” 可知，心灵感应不依靠五官感觉，而是在紧急关头或者有需要的时候，这种潜能才能被激发出来。故A选项正确。2. Which of the following can be used as the title of the passage? A. Receiving TelepathyB. Telepathy: Mind-to Mind Contact C. Telepathy: Peoples Dream D. Dream of Telepathy答案解析：答案为B。本题考查文章的标题。全文都是围绕心灵感应而展开，故答案为B。3. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. The more people separate, the more likely that telepathy will occur. B. It is by using the five senses that telepathy occurs. C. Telepahy happens when people live far away and have no chance to see one another. D. One is better at sending than receiving telepathy if one receives a friends call as one wishes.答案解析：答案为D。本题为细节题。由第二段 “If you think of a person, and they call you, you are most likely better at sending.” 可知，如果你正在想着某人，然后他就给你打电话了，那么你可能更擅长于发送感应，D选项意思与文章符合。 故答案为D。由最后一段 “The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the others mind, especially when separated.” 可知，人们在一起相处的时间越长，他们的心灵相互间就越有可能产生共鸣，尤其是当分开的时候，故A、C选项错误，结合第一题分析知B选项同样错误。4.

How often we hear statements like this! Television hasnt been with us all that long, but we are already beginning to forget what the world was like without it. Before we admitted the one-eyed monster into our homes, we never fond it difficult to occupy our spare time. We used to enjoy civilized pleasures. For instance, we used to have hobbies, we used to entertain our friends and be entertained by them, we used to go outside for our amusements to theatres, cinemas, restaurants and sporting events. We even used to read books and listen to music and broadcast talks occasionally. All that belongs to the past. Now all our free time is regulated by the goggle box. We rush home or gulp down our meals to be in time for this or that programme. We have even given up sitting at table and having a leisurely evening meal, exchanging the news of the day. A sandwich and a glass of beer will do anything, providing it doesnt interfere with the programme. The monster demands and obtains absolute silence and attention. If any member of the family dares to open his mouth during a programme, he is quickly silenced.Whole generations are growing up addicted to the telly. Food is left uneaten, homework undone and sleep is lost. The telly is a universal pacifier. It is now standard practice for mother to keep the children quiet by putting them in the living-room and turning on the set. It doesnt matter that the children will watch rubbishy commercials or spectacles of sadism and violence so long as they are quiet.There is a limit to the amount of creative talent available in the world. Every day, television consumes vast quantities of creative work. That is why most of the programmes are so bad: it is impossible to keep pace with the demand and maintain high standards as well. When millions watch the same programmes, the whole world becomes a village, and society is reduced to the conditions which obtain in preliterate communities. We become utterly dependent on the two most primitive media of communication: pictures and the spoken word.Television encourages passive enjoyment. We become content with second-hand experiences. It is so easy to sit in our armchairs watching others working. Little by little, television cuts us off from the real world. We get so lazy, we choose to spend a fine day in semi-darkness, glued to our sets, rather than go out into the world itself. Television may be s splendid medium of communication, but it prevents us from communicating with each other. We only become aware how totally irrelevant television is to real living when we spend a holiday by the sea or in the mountains, far away from civilization. In quiet, natural surroundings, we quickly discover how little we miss the hypnotic tyranny of King Telly.1.What is the biggest harm of TV?A It deprives people of communication with the real world.People become lazy.C People become dependent on second-hand experience.D TV consumes a large part of ones life.2.In what way can people forget TV?A Far away from civilization.To a mountain.C By the sea.D In quiet natural surroundings.3.What does a mother usually do to keep her children quiet?A Let them watch the set.Put them in the living room.C Let them watch the rubbish.D Let them alone.4.What does the first sentence in the first paragraph mean?A We found it difficult to occupy our spare time.We become addicted to TV.C What we used to do is different from now.D We used to enjoy civilized pleasures.Vocabulary1.goggle            转动眼珠，瞪眼   goggle box   （英俚）电视机2.gulp            狼吞虎咽3.telly            电视机4.pacifier            平息者，抚慰者。这里指平静人，使人不吱声的东西。5.rubbishy            垃圾的，无价值的6.sadism            施淫虐7.glue            胶（水）；粘牢   glue to the sets  和电视机粘在一起，指成了电视迷8.hypnotic            催眠的难句译注1.There is a limit to the amount of creative talent available in the world.【参考译文】世界上可以获得的创造性才能的数量是有限的。写作方法与文章大意这是一篇论说“电视有害”的文章。采用对比分析手法。先提出问题，对比过去和现在“过去在业余时间，我们享受文明的欢乐，有各种嗜好，招待朋友，访友，外出娱乐，在家读书听音乐现在一切受电视支配。匆忙赶回家，狼吞虎咽地吃完饭为的是准时看某个电视节目。只要不干扰节目，吃什么都可以！一块三明治，一杯啤酒就行。看时，谁都不许说话，完全没有了过去的那种悠闲，坐在一起吃晚饭，相互交谈白天的一切。”然后列出电视种种恶果：整个几代人成了电视迷，连孩子也不能幸免，电视消耗了大量的创造性工作，人们成为以来电视生存的人，被动娱乐，制止我们和真实世界交流。最后结论：到大自然去，忘掉电视。答案详解1.A 它剥夺了人们和真实世界的联系。文章多次提到现在我们不能探亲访友，一家人互不交流，而一旦离开电视就进入了真是世界。B. 人变懒。C. 人们变得依赖二手经验。D. 电视浪费了人生的大量时间。这三项只是危害重具体一个组成部分。2.D 在安宁的大自然的怀抱中。答案在最后一段最后一句“在安详宁静的大自然环境中，我们很快发现我们对催眠的电视暴君连想都不怎么想！”A. 远离文明。B.去山上。C.在海边。3.A 叫他们看电视。这在第二段第三句起“电视是一个万能安静器。母亲为使孩子们安静，就把他们放在起居室内，打开电视看。这是现在最权威的一招。至于孩子们看的使垃圾般的商业广告，还是施淫虐或暴力片都无关紧要，只要他们安静不闹。”B.把他们搁在起居室。C.让他们看垃圾片。都是其中的具体一部分。D.让他们呆着。没有提到。4.B 我们都成了电视迷。第一句“是的，可是没有电视之前，我们常干些什么？”这说明人们已经习惯于电视，以来电视，到了没有电视怎么办的境地。不知道没有电视前的情况。第二段“整个几代人越来越迷上了电视，饭不吃，家务不干，不睡觉。”可以说整篇文章都描写了人们对电视迷恋，依赖。第一句话是引言。所以B对。A. 难以消遣。只是人们的一种感受。C.过去和现在不同。是一种对比，并没有点出这句话的真正内涵。D.享受文明欢乐。是过去所作的一个具体例子。阅读理解-BBuying a house for most of the people is a once in a lifetime decision, which means people decide to do so only after coming across the ideal house. Surprisingly, eight in every 10 home buyers are unhappy with their houses. A survey conducted by the Beijing Consumers' Association (BCA) recently shows about 80 percent of the 2,315 respondents in 23 residential complexes of Beijing are dissatisfied with the soaring house prices. They think the reasonable price in Beijing should be between 3,000 yuan and 7,000 yuan per square meter. The quality of the buildings, the surrounding environment and traffic and property management are the other factors that play a role in people's decision to buy a house. The BCA has suggested strict sales regulations and contracts to ease house-owners' sufferings. It has urged the authorities to impose severe punishment on developers found violating building and other rules and joining hands with others to bid up property prices About 41.2 percent of the respondents have complained that their houses have defective designs, while nearly 40 percent say the lighting and ventilation are far from satisfactory. The landscapes in the residential areas are a source of unhappiness for 43.2 percent of the respondents, and about one-third say they were "bluffed" into buying "third grade" houses. And more than half are not satisfied with the sport and entertainment facilities in their neighborhood. Property management in the buildings, 56.5 percent of the respondents say, is way below standard compared to the high fee charged by the complexes. A 60 percent of the consumers doubt the contents of developers' advertisements, with only 6.3 percent being satisfied. Experts have suggested consumers gather thorough knowledge about a developer and their work before deciding to buy a house from it.
