1、2014届高考英语二轮复习 三月精品练习阅读理解1The GUARANTEE ON THIS WATER HEATER IS IN EFFECT ONLY WHEN THE HEATER IS INSTALLED AND OPERATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE STARTING.LOCATION:Select a location accessible to water lines and power supply. Do not locate the h

2、eater where water lines could be subjected to(受影响) freezing temperatures. It is recommended that the heater be located near the center of greatest hot water usage to prevent heat loss through the pipes. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:Before any electrical connections are made, be sure that the heater is ful

3、l of water and that the valve(阀门) in the cold water supply line is open. OPERATIONWhen the switch is closed, the operation of this electric water heater is automatic. The thermostats are preset to the HOT setting to provide a water temperature of approximately 120oF to reduce the risk of being burnt

What will happen to the heater when the temperature of water is above 190F?A. it will ca

8、use damage B. It will break off automatically. C. It will produce cold water. D. It will blow the fuse.2 We already have iris(虹膜) and fingerprint scanning but noses could be an even better method of identification, says a study from the University of Bath, UK. The researchers scanned noses in 3D and

9、 characterized them. They found 6 main nose types: Roman, Greek, Nubian, hawk, snub and turn-up. Since they are hard to hide, the study says, noses would work well for identification. The researchers say noses have been overlooked in the growing field of biometrics, studies into ways of identifying

10、distinguishing characters of people. Noses are out standing facial features and yet their use as a biometric has been largely unexplored, said the University of Baths Dr Adrian Evans. Ears have been looked at in detail, eyes have been looked at in terms of iris recognition but the nose has been igno

11、red. The researchers used a system called PhotoFace, developed by researchers at the University of the West of England in Bristol, for the 3D scans. Several measurements by which noses can be recognised were identified and the team developed recognition software based on these parameters(范围) This in

12、itial work is nowhere as good as iris identification but the nose has pros and cons, said Dr Evans. Theres no magic biometric that solves all your problems. Irises are a powerful biometric but can be difficult to get accurately and can be easily covered by eyelids or glasses. People can easily cover

13、 up their ears, with their hair for example. Of course you can have a broken nose or wear a false nose or have plastic surgery but to have nose surgery to change your identity is fairly obvious. Irises are very good for recognition but you can put in dilation drops which change the iris completely.

14、Not all techniques are reliable, he said. The research is based on a study of 40 noses and the data base has now been expanded to 160 for further tests to see if the software can pick out people from a larger group and distinguish between relatives. Dr Evans hopes the method can be proven to be effe

15、ctive on this larger sample. The technique certainly shows potential, perhaps to be used in combination with other identification methods, he said.57. Where can you probably read this article?In a newspaper about education.In a newspaper about scienceIn a newspaper about softwareIn a newspaper about

16、 dress-up58. Which is true according to the passage?Dr Adrian Evans works at the University of the West of England in Bristol,The researchers used a system called Photoshop for the 3D scans.The research is based on a study of 160 noses.The research team developed their own recognition software.59. T

17、he word overlooked in the third paragraph possibly means:A. well-studied B. carefully-scanned C. wholly-recognized D. carelessly-studied60. We can infer from the last three paragraphs that_.The consequence of the method remains to be seenDr Evans is sure that the method can be used to pick out uncle

18、s and nephews.More new soft wares will be developed to do the research.This method can still be used if your nose is broken, Boys schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music. Far from the traditional image of

19、a culture of aggressive masculinity (阳刚), the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to conform to(符合、顺应) a stereotype（老套）, a US study says. Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop thei

20、r emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to conform to the“boy code”of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”. The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls. Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being faded by

21、 the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls. The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do be

22、tter earlier in speaking and reading skills. But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the studys author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia. Teachers c

23、ould encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision learned best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given “hands-on” lessons where they are allowed

24、to walk around. “Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine (女性的) and prefer the modern genre (类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes.” James wrote. Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to conform to a stereotype that men should be “maste

25、rful and in charge” in relationships. “ In mixed schools boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means.” the study reported. 3The author believes that a single-sex school would _ . A. force boys to hide their emotions to be real men B. help to

26、 cultivate masculine aggressiveness in boys C. naturally strengthen the traditional image of a man in boysD. encourage boys to express their emotions more freely 4It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys _ . A. behave more responsiblyB. grow up more healthily C. perform relatively betterD

27、. receive a better education 5What does Tony Little say about the British education system? A. It fails more boys than girls academically.B. It focuses more on mixed school education. C. It places more pressure on boys than on girls.D. It fails to give boys the attention they need. 6According to Abi

28、gail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is _. A. boys can focus on their lessons without being disturbedB. teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys C. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in D. teaching can be designed to promote boys team spirit

29、7According to Abigail James report, it can be inferred that boys tend to _.A. have sharper vision.B. conform to stereotypes.C. enjoy being in charge.D. be violent and sexist.People in the United States honour their parents with two special days: Mothers Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Fathers

30、Day, on the third Sunday in June.These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care.These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers are now working ou

31、tside home. More fathers must help with the children care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mothers Day, people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother, while a black one shows the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honour parents. I

32、t is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit cemetery ( 墓地). On these days, families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Fathers Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Chil

33、dren make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is the thought that counts. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies and other stores do a

34、 lot of business during these holidays.8Which of the following is NOT a reason for parents show love and respect for parents?A. Parents bring up children B. Parents give love and care to childrenC. Parents educate children to be good persons D. Parents pass away before children grow up9Which do you

35、think is true about “carnation” mentioned in paragraph 3?A. It has only two kinds of colours B. It refers to the special clothes people wear on Mothers Day or FatherDayC. Its a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.D. People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May10 What can we le

36、arn from the passage?A. Mothers Day and Fathers Day are both in May B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the pastC. Not all the children respect their parentsD. Fathers are not as important as mothers11 On Mothers Day and Fathers Day, _.A. people usually have family parties B. everyone goes to

37、visit the cemeteryC. children always go to parents home D. hand-made cards are not valuableOne is never too old to learn. Life learning (sometimes called un-schooling or self-directed learning) is one of those concepts that are almost easier to explain by saying what it isnt than what it is. And tha

38、ts probably because our own schooled backgrounds have convinced us that learning happens only in a fine building on certain days, between certain hours, and managed by a specially trained professional.Within that schooling framestudy, no matter how hard teachers try and no matter how good their text

39、books, many bright students get bored, many slower students struggle and give up or lose their self-respect, and most of them reach the end of the process unprepared to enter into society. They have memorized a certain body of knowledge long enough to rush back the information on tests, but they hav

40、ent really learnt much, at least of the official curriculum.Life learners, on the other hand, know that learning is not difficult, that people learn things quite easily if theyre not compelled and forced, if they see a need to learn something, and if they are trusted and respected enough to learn it

41、 on their own timetable, at their own speed, in their own wayno matter what age and no matter whether were at school or at home.Life learning is independent of time, location or the presence of teacher. It does not require mom or dad to teach, or kids to work in workbooks at the table from 9 to noon

42、. Life learning is learner-driven. It involves living and learningin and from the real world. It is about exploring, questioning, experimenting, making messes, taking risks without fear of making mistakes, being laughed at and trying again.Furthermore, life learning is about trusting kids to learn w

43、hat they need to know and about helping them to learn and grow in their own ways. It is about providing positive experiences that enable children to understand the world and their culture and to interact with it.12It is implied in the text that it is hard to _.A. tell the nature of life learning B.

44、carry life learning throughC. learn without going to school D. find a specially trained teacher13According to the author, the schooling framestudy often _.A. produces slow students with poor memoriesB. ignores some parts of the official curriculumC. fails to provide enough knowledge about lifeD. giv

45、es little care to the quality of teaching materials14Life learners recognize that learning will not be difficult if they are _.A. able to respect other people B. careful to make a time tableC. clear about why to learn D. cautious about any mistakes15According to the author, life learning _.A. could

46、prevent one from running risksB. teaches a kid how to avoid being laughed atC. makes a kid independent of his parentsD. could be a road full of trials and errors16Through life learning, children _.A. will grow without the assistance from parentsB. will be seperated from the negative side of societyC

47、. will be driven to learn necessary life knowledgeD. will learn to communicate with the real societyLeadership is the art of getting someone to do something you want done because he wants to do it. People naturally want to follow a good leader. After meeting with an effective leader it is not unusual to feel uplifted(情绪高涨), inspired, and motivated to work towards a common goal.An effective leader makes others feel good about themselves, as well as the work they are doing. The leader has a vision(幻想)of what he or she wants to achieve, and can communicate that vision to others in a way that mak
