‎2014高考英语阅读理解二轮精英训练精品题（20）及答案 ‎【2014高考英语陕西省一模联考试题】A 阅读下列短文, 从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。‎ The Father-Daughter Duel shifted into high gear ( 档位) when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the '54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who sent me home, after you reported the Chevy stolen, didn't have much tolerance for a stubborn 16 year old, while you were so tolerant about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.‎ ‎ Our relationship greatly improved when I married a man you liked, and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left. Somewhere along the line, the generation gap disappeared. I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine.‎ But the strangest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didn't immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.‎ I guess what I'm trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Honoring a father on Father's Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking. It's about loving someone more than words can say, and it's wishing that never had to end. ‎ I love you, Dad.‎ Love,‎ Jenny ‎46.How did Jenny probably feel on the night she was sent home by the police? ‎ A. Disappointed. B. Nervous. C. Guilty. D. Frightened.‎ ‎47. We can learn from the passage that Jenny and her father_________.‎ A. kept in touch by writing each other ‎ B. are separated due to the generation gap C. have been getting along very well ‎ D. had a hard time understanding each other ‎48. Why did Jenny feel strange when she saw her father last week?.‎ ‎ A. She seldom saw him driving that huge car.‎ B.She had never realized his being old and weak.‎ C. She didn't expect to meet with him there. ‎ D.She had never seen him driving so slowly before.‎ ‎49. Jenny wrote his father this letter to _________‎ A. tell him about their conflicts B. say sorry for her being stubborn C. express her gratitude to him D. remind him of the early incident ‎【参考答案】CDBC ‎【2012广东省深圳高级中学】C ‎　　Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenager’s intended major, one located near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe. ‎ ‎　　“The safety issue is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn’t alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college officials ‎ always gave the same answer-“That’s not a problem here,” Mahoney began to feel uneasy. ‎ ‎　　“No crime whatsoever?” comments Mahoney today. “I just don’t buy it. ” Nor should he: in 1999 the U. S. Department of Education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,” says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation. ” ‎ ‎　　But getting accurate information isn’t easy. Colleges must report crime statistics by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. “The truth may not always be obvious,” warns S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc, the nation’s leading campus safety watchdog group. ‎ ‎　　To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions. ‎ ‎　　36. The Mahoneys visited quite a few colleges last August _________. ‎ ‎　　A. to express the opinions of many parents ‎　　B. to choose a right one for their daughter ‎ ‎　　C. to check the cost of college education ‎　　D. to find a right one near a large city ‎　　37. It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some colleges __________. ‎ ‎　　A. receive too many visitors ‎　　B. mirror the rest of the nation ‎ ‎　　C. hide the truth of campus crime ‎　　D. have too many watchdog groups ‎　　38. The underlined word “buy” in the third paragraph means __________. ‎ ‎　　A. mind         B. admit　　 C. believe      D. expect ‎　　39. We learn from the text that “the honest ones” in the fourth paragraph most probably refers to colleges ___________. ‎ ‎　　A. that are protected by campus security ‎　　B. that report campus crime by law ‎ ‎　　C. that are free from campus crime ‎　　D. that enjoy very good publicity ‎　　40. What is the text mainly about? ‎ ‎　　A. Exact campus crime statistics.‎ ‎　　B. Crimes on or around campuses. ‎ ‎　　C. Effective solutions to campus crime.‎ D. Concerns about kids’ campus safety.‎ ‎【参考答案】36—40 BCCBD ‎ C3 [2013·福建卷] ---------B Your glasses may someday replace your smartphone, and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch. Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.‎ ‎“I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 am and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open，” said Walter Choo, 40, of Fort Greene.‎ The smartphone－like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600, the Times said, possibly including a variation of augmented(增强的) reality, a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings. So, for example, if you were walking down a street, indicators would pop_up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.‎ ‎“As far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isn't something anybody needs，” said Sam Biddle, who writes for Gizmodo.com. “We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things，” he added, “and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (装置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars.”‎ ‎9to5Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphone－like glasses since late last year, said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.‎ ‎“It's just like smartphones 10 years ago，” Weintraub said. “A few people started getting emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones, and it's unnatural，” he said. “There's gonna be improvements to that, and this a step there.” ‎ ‎60．One of the possible functions of the smartphone－like glasses is to ________．‎ A．program the opening hours of a bar B．supply you with a picture of the future C．provide information about your surroundings D．update the maps and GPS in your smartphones ‎61．The underlined phrase “pop up” in the third paragraph probably means “________”．‎ A. develop rapidly ‎ B. get round quickly C. appear immediately ‎ D. go over automatically ‎62．According to Sam Biddle, the smartphone－like glasses are ________．‎ A. necessary for teenagers ‎ B. attractive to New Yorkers C. available to people worldwide ‎ D. expensive for average consumers ‎63．We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphone－like glasses ________．‎ A. may have a potential market ‎ B. are as common as smartphones C. are popular among young adults ‎ D. will be improved by a new technology ‎【要点综述】 本文是一篇新闻报道， 客观报道了google 公司即将推出一款智能眼镜以及人们对它的不同看法。‎ ‎60．C　细节理解题。根据原文第三段“…a technology…that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings.” 可知选项C正确。‎ ‎61．C　词义猜测题。句意为：如果你在街上行走， 指示器将即刻显示离你距离最近的咖啡馆……，所以答案应为C。 appear immediately即刻显示。‎ ‎62．D　细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知，Sam Biddle 认为一般的消费者买不起另一种价格昂贵的装置。‎ ‎63．A　推理判断题。文章最后两段把这种智能眼镜和十年前的智能手机作比较，认为现在的智能眼镜就像十年前的手机一样， 最终是会深受欢迎的，有巨大的市场潜力。‎ C3 [2013·四川卷] --------C LONDON—A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake(假冒的) bomb detectors (探测器) to 10 years in prison, saying the man hadn't cared about potentially deadly consequences.‎ It is believed that James McCormick got about $77. 8 million from the sales of his detectors—which were based on a kind of golf ball finder—to countries including Iraq, Belgium and Saudi Arabia.‎ McCormick, 57, was convicted(判罪) of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.‎ ‎“Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people，” Judge Richard Hone told McCormick.“You have neither regret，nor shame，nor any sense of guilt.”‎ The detectors，sold for up to $42，000 each，were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they “lacked any grounding in science” and were of no use.‎ McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya，the prison service in Hong Kong，the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.‎ ‎“I never had any bad results from customers，”he said.‎ ‎39．Why was McCormick sentenced to prison?‎ A. He sold bombs.‎ B. He caused death of people.‎ C. He made detectors.‎ D．He cheated in business. ‎ ‎40．According to the judge, what McCormick had done ________. ‎ A. increased the cost of safeguarding B. lowered people's guard against danger C. changed people's idea of social security D. caused innocent people to commit crimes ‎41．Which of the following is true of the detectors? ‎ A. They have not been sold to Africa.‎ B. They have caused many serious problems.‎ C. They can find dangerous objects in water.‎ D. They don't function on the basis of science.‎ ‎42．It can be inferred from the passage that McCormick ________．‎ A. sold the equipment at a low price B. was well－known in most countries C. did not think he had committed the crime D. had not got such huge profit as mentioned in the text ‎【要点综述】 这是一篇新闻报道。文章叙述了英国法官审判了一位商人，他有出售假冒炸弹探测器的犯罪行为。但这名犯罪嫌疑人根本没意识到他的行为给社会带来的危害。‎ ‎39．D　细节理解题。根据第一段“A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake bomb detectors to 10 years in prison…”以及“McCormick, 57, was convicted of cheats last month…”可知，McCormick被判处欺诈罪。故可以判断选D。‎ ‎40．B　推理判断题。根据第四段“Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount ‎ of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people”可知选B。‎ ‎41．D　细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“But in fact they ‘lacked any grounding in science’ and were of no use.”可知，事实上它们“在科学上没有任何根据”，是没有用的。可以判断选D。‎ ‎42．C　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya, the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.”及最后一段可知，麦考密克曾在法庭上说，他出售自己的探测器给肯尼亚警察、香港监狱、埃及的军队和泰国的边境管制处， 而且他从来没有从客户那里听到任何不好的结果。故可以推断出他根本没认识到他的罪行。故选C。‎ ‎【2012广东省深圳高级中学】D ‎　　One of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected (可疑的) police killer David Bieber—and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to the ￡30,000 reward money. ‎ ‎　　She said: “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there. ”‎ ‎　　The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: “He didn’t seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact. ” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her boss Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm. ‎ ‎　　Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, ‎ at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes. ‎ ‎　　“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ’Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’ My heart missed a beat. ”‎ ‎　　Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key. ‎ ‎　　“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man’s room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (带上手铐). ”‎ ‎　　41.
