漳州市2014 高考英語(yǔ)（閱讀理解）一輪暑假訓(xùn)練（4）（答案）The new studies show that fewer than half of the 9th graders in many of the nations largest cities, can ever graduate. The studies clearly show that the dropout rate isnt dropping. And, in particular, the dropout rate isnt dropping for poor and minority students.Amazingly, though so many regret the rising dropout rate, our schools continue to lack formal plans-or any plans-to teach students motivation(動(dòng)機(jī)). Most schools have no game plan to ensure that students understand that schooling will be completely necessary. Schools expect youth and children to act as though schooling is important, but they never teach them to believe that.    Years ago, families ensured that the children recognized the value of schooling. But in many modern families, the children may fail to recognize the importance of school life just because these families may actually tell their children that school is not important. Since many families are not motivating their children to be interested students, youth professionals, like teachers may need to provide this training. Otherwise, it is likely the dropout rate will continue not to drop, but only worsen.    Here are some strategies to convince even the most apathetic (無(wú)動(dòng)于衷的) students that they must stay in school.    Ask students if they will ever need to work: The world has changed. 100 years ago, factory work was the booming job, and it required no education. Today, factories are increasingly automated. Most computer-related jobs require education and at least a high school diploma.    Ask students which century they will be prepared for: In 1900, the most common jobs were farm laborer and domestic servanteducation not needed. Now, the most common jobs are office and sales staffeducation and diploma usually needed. An amazing 6 out of 10 people today work in a store or office.Ask students to devise a way that the employee could be replaced. For example, the coming trend in fast food is to use computers rather than people to run the restaurant. A prototype is apparently already being tested. The students should discover that most jobs that lack education and diploma requirements may be ripe for automation.11. What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph1? A. Few students can afford to go to school in large cities. B. A large number of the 9th graders can graduate now. C. There are still quite a few 9th graders leaving school early. D. Most schools in large cities have fewer and fewer students.12. Without the help of youth professionals,_. A. more and more families will gradually recognize the value of school. B. it is likely that the dropout rate in schools wont continue to drop. C. some parents will be more convinced of their childrens future. D. the schools will make proper plans to solve the problems with dropout.13. The author takes factory work for example mainly to _. A. tell us that many jobs requires certain education in the past B. show that there are more factory work and employment in modern society C. show that employment in the computer field grows at a high rate D. emphasize that modern jobs require education and schools are necessary 14.

A. both schools and families should answer for the high dropout rate B. many new jobs dont need childrens high school diploma C. working in a store doesnt require a high school diploma D. most schools are ready to help students recognize the importance of study15.

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.

What impression did the woman leave on the author?A. She was shy and cold to visitors.B. She was confident and energetic.C. She wasn't good at dressing herself up.D.

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(duì)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. The author introduces the topic of the passage by_.A. showing an interesting discussionB. comparing several sport eventsC. explaining some game rulesD. giving some specific examples10. When players play clean, _.A. they play in fresh airB. they play in a skilled wayC. they play within the rulesD. they play without hurting each other11.
