四川省達州市2014 高考英語閱讀理解一輪暑假訓練（3）（答案）Although the Spring Festival is generally regarded as the most import celebration of the year, the fall and winter have a number of non-native holidays that are gaining popularity among the Chinese.These include Halloween, Christmas and Valentines Day. In the past, these foreign holidays were observed only by those who worked for foreign companies or those who had studied or live abroad. But today, many Chinese celebrate the holidays in some manners, such as sending text messages to friends and having a large dinner in a restaurant. Valentines Day is mainly for young couples, while Halloween is most celebrated by children.Christmas is becoming increasingly popular among the Chinese, although originally it was heavily promoted by business. During the holiday, some shopping malls put up Christmas trees, inducing(勸說) visitors to write down their Christmas wishes and hang the notes on the trees. In just one or two days, the trees will be filled with all kinds of Christmas messages. For example, “I wish those who love me and whom I love happiness in the next year.” “May God bless my parents health and happiness.” “I hope my girlfriend will be admitted by renowned universities.”Sociologists say the rising popularity of Christmas is due to the cheerful and bright colors associated with the holiday.

Manigault, the wife of my mothers brother Bill. She taught in second grade at all-black Summer School in Camden, New Jersey. During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential, without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females. I liked to sing; she listened to my voice and pronounced it good. I couldnt dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps. She took me to the theatre _ not just childrens theatre but adult comedies and dramas - and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me. I had books at home, but they were all serious classics. Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor, and Ill never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquiss Archy & Mehitabel through her. Most important, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication. A writer herself for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to the editor as a “youth columnist”. My column, begun when I was fourteen, was supposed to cover teenage social activities-and it did-but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her “favorite niece”. Like a diamond, she has reflected a bright, multifaceted(多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.65. Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood and youth?A. She lent her some serious classics.B. She cultivated her taste for music.C. She discovered her talent for dancing.D. She introduced her to adult plays.66. What does Archy & Mehitabel in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?A. A book of great fun.B. A writer of high fame.C. A serious masterpiece.D. A heartbreaking play.67. Aunt Myrtle recommended the author to a newspaper editor mainly to _.A. develop her capabilities for writing.B. give her a chance to collect materialC. involve her in teenage social activitiesD. offer her a series of writing jobs.68. We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who _.A. trained pupils to be diligent and well-disciplinedB. gave pupils confidence in exploiting their potentialC. emphasized what was practical or possible for pupilsD. helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning【答案】DAAB*結(jié)束閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。 AIt was a week before Christmas, but things were far from cheery. Our task was to deliver as many boxes of food as possible to those in need in Camden, New Jersey. There were no Christmas carolers (唱頌歌的人) walking these streets that were lined with boarded-up (用木板封住的) houses and broken windows. Mothers kept their children close as they hurried down the streets. It was mid-afternoon, but even the bright sun couldn't warm this place.Red tickets in the windows marked which houses we were to visit. Our white truck stopped in front of one townhouse and our group knocked on the door. In our arms were boxes filled with ham, bread and other essentials to make the perfect Christmas dinner. Four small faces glanced through the curtains and one exhausted mom answered the door. She seemed embarrassed to be caught in her nightgown with undone hair. She was in her mid-20s, but her rough skin and tired eyes added years."Sacred Heart food delivery service," I smiled. "Where can we put this for you?"She pointed and as we entered the house, I noticed the conditions they lived in. The children climbed around, wearing only diapers (尿布). There were no carpets, only cold concrete beneath our feet. There was no Christmas tree or decorations. My heart sank. It was so cold, and I found it hard to believe that this was reality for this family. We set the boxes down and the mother grabbed my hand."You don't know how much of a blessing this is to me and my family," she said, crying. "We are just getting by." I opened my arms and gave her a hug."Happy holidays!" I replied before I headed out the door. I realized how warm I felt inside.This was unlike anything I had ever experienced. We cannot help what family we are born into, but we can help each other.1.

The passage mainly tells us that _.A. the poor can also help othersB. assisting the poor needs actionsC. people should help each otherD. having more children causes poverty1-4 ADDC *結(jié)束 BLawmakers in the United States have expanded an investigation into the use of location-tracking systems on mobile devices. The action follows recent reports about the storing of information on the Apple iPhone. Some people consider location tracking to be a threat to personal privacy and security.Allan Friedman, the research director, says, “All wireless companies do some location tracking as part of their networks. This information is usually stored by the companies, not the devices, and there are laws to protect it. Law enforcement(執(zhí)法) agencies, for example, have to have a fairly high standard before it can access that data. And the phone company is also prohibited from selling that information.Now, two researchers report that location tracking information is being stored directly on Apple devices. They said Apples newest operating systems gather global positioning system and timestamp information. The information is stored on the device in a file that is also uploaded (上傳) to any computer that the device is connected to. The researchers say the information is available to anyone who has access to the device or computer.Allan Friedman says, “This raises additional concerns. Theres the idea that because its on my phone and on my computer, rogue applications(惡意程序) that I pay for or that Im tricked into downloading may be able to access this data and somehow misuse it.”Apple says it is “not tracking the location of your iPhone”. It is simply keeping a database of Wi-Fi hotspots and cellphone towers near the users location. This information is meant to help the iPhone quickly find its location when needed.Letters have been sent to some of the leading mobile device developers, including Apple and Google. The letters asked for more information about their location tracking systems. Allan Friedman calls this an important start to strengthening privacy laws. He says, “There arent strong controls over things like location information, what they are doing with it, how long they are keeping it. And perhaps the most important question is, is my location data with other facts about me?”5.Why did American lawmakers investigate the use of location-tracking systems on cell-phones?A.Because the systems can store users informationB.Because many users have suffered loss after using them.C.Because it is thought to threaten users privacy.D.Because many reporters have shown the problem of the systems.6. Allan Friedman believes that _.A.wireless companies focus on personal privacy.B.people are forbidden to get access to private data at willC.phone companies may sell private information secretlyD.customers may ask wireless companies to locate their tracking7. What do we know from Paragraph 3?A. Location tracking information is stored online.B.Apples newest operating systems collect all kinds of information.C.Location tracking information may be uploaded to any iPhone.D.Apples newest operating systems may reveal the private information of users.8.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Apple denies that it tracks the location of users.B.The researchers may misunderstand the Apples systems.C.The global positioning system is to blame for rogue applications.D.The iPhone can quickly find its location by using its users information.CBDA *結(jié)束CIf you're into sports, you've seen it happen. You've probably even experienced it: basketball players shaking hands after four quarters of knocking each other around, tennis players leaping over the net to shake hands with their opponents (對手) after a hard-fought match, soccer players exchanging sport shirts after an intense 90 minutes, even boxers touching gloves at the beginning of each round, then hugging each other after beating each other into a pulp for 12 rounds. It seems like competitors in every event, from spelling bees to hockey, behave this way. What's going on?It's all part of sportsmanship, a great tradition in sports and competition that means playing clean and handling both victory and defeat with grace, style, and dignity.What is sportsmanship? Sportsmanship is defined as: playing fair, following the rules of the game, respecting the judgment of referees and officials, treating opponents with respect.Some people define good sportsmanship as the "golden rule" of sports - in other words, treating the people you play with and against as you'd like to be treated yourself. You demonstrate good sportsmanship when you show respect for yourself, your teammates, and your opponents, for the coaches on both sides, and for the referees, judges, and other officials.But sportsmanship isn't just reserved for the people on the field. Cheerleaders and fans also need to be aware of how they behave during competition. Sportsmanship is a style and an attitude; and it can have a positive influence on everyone around you.Learning good sportsmanship means finding that the positive attitude learned on the field carries over into other areas of life. At school, for example, you're able to appreciate the contributions made by classmates and know how to work as part of a team to complete a project. You may enjoy more success at work as well, because a big part of learning good sportsmanship is learning to be respectful of others, including customers and co-workers.9.
