1、云南省曲靖市2014高考英语（阅读理解）一轮训练题（1）及答案阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。AA year ago August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising.

2、The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift $ 7,000, a legacy (遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were going under financi

3、ally.” says Dave.But the Fusses werent the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in others, it was more than $100,000.It surpr

4、ised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $3 million they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving. They thrived on (喜欢) comparison shopping and

5、would routinely go from store to store，checking prices before making a new purchase.Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn t afford it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything.” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden, “They coul

6、d see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.”Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed. It was the Hatches wish that their legacy a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents should enrich the whole community (社区) and last for

Decisionmaking styles are significantly different in different cultures. In any ap

11、proach to a problem and in any negotiations, the Western world turns to the I to you approach while Japan, the you to you approach. The former means both sides present their arguments openly from their own point of view. Naturally, often comes a confrontation(冲突)situation, which the Westerners are v

12、ery skillful in dealing with. The latter is based on each side trying to understand the other persons point of view. Thus, the direction of the meeting is a mutual(相互的)attempt to reduce confrontation and achieve harmony. Besides, Western decision-making goes mostly from top management and often does

13、 not consult middle management or the workers. However, in Japan great consideration is given to the thoughts and opinions of everyone at all levels. Based on bottom-up direction, ideas can be created at the lowest levels, travel upward through an organization and have an effect on the final decisio

14、n. Difference in decision-making also comes from different communication styles. The Japanese business person works to achieve harmony, even if the deal falls through. and will spend whatever time is necessary to determine a you to you approach, communicating personal views only indirectly. They put

15、 a thorough job above the Western deadline approach. So the Japanese is thorough in their meetings. Thus Americans are often annoyed by the many meetings in many Japanese businesses. But where the American is pressing for a specific decision, the Japanese is trying to think up a rather broad directi

16、on. On the other hand, once a given agreement is made, it is the Japanese who sometimes wonders at the slow pace in which the Westerners carry out the decision. The Japanese is eager to move forward and the Westerners, perhaps, lag(落后于)behind as they take the time for in-depth planning.(1)A Japanese

17、 business bases its decision_.A. on top-down direction B. on nothing but its workers viewsC. on bottom-up direction D. only on its top leaders opinions(2)The text mainly tells us that Japan and the Western world_.A. face great difficulty in making decisionsB. are different in decision making stylesC

18、. have all members contribute to a decisionD. have two approaches：I to you and you to I(3)Which of the following is TRUE of the Westerners?A. They carry out the decision once it is made.B. There are many meetings in their businesses.C. They work to achieve harmony in doing business.D. They are good

While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when thes

21、e batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri(MU) researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density(密度)”，said Jae Kwon, assistant prof

22、essor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. “The radioisotope(放射性同位素) battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to powe

23、r various micro/nanoelectromechanreal systems (M/NEMS). Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.“People hear the word nuclear and think of something very dangerous,” he said, “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such a

24、s pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems.”His new idea is not only in the batterys size, but also in its semiconductor(半导体). Kwons battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, par

25、t of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶体结构) of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working

26、 to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the batterys power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.【文章大意】本篇为科普短文，介绍由美国密苏里大学研究者所开发的核能电池的情况。71. Which of the following is true of Jae Kwo

The text is most probably a _.A. science news report B. book review C. newspaper ad D. science fiction story【答案解析】71. 【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第一段的

30、University of Missouri(MU) researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient及第三段的叙述可知，Kwon在研究一种核能电池，所以C项正确。72. 【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据文章第四段可知Kwon举例的目的是为了说明核能电池是安全性。73. 【解析】选D。 细节理解题。根据part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶体结构) of the solid semiconductor,”及“By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”可知，通过使用液态半导体材料，可减少对晶体结构的破坏。74. 【解析】选C。 细节理解题。根据Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair可知C项正确。75. 【解析】选A。推理判断题。本文讲述了Kwon的原子能电池的有关情况，文章体裁应属于科普文章，所以A项正确。*结束- 7 -
