2014辽宁省灯塔市高考英语阅读理解连载（6）及答案阅读理解-many private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger. not all will be saved, and perhaps not all deserve to be saved. there are low-quality schools just as there are low-quality businesses. we have no duty to save them simply because they exist.but many promising institutions that deserve to continue are threatened. they are doing a fine job educationally, but they are caught in a financial squeeze, with no way to reduce rising cost or increase income significantly. raising tuition doesnt bring in more income, for each time tuition goes up, the enrollment goes down, or the amount that must be given away in student aid goes up. schools are bad businesses, whether public or private, not usually because of mismanagement but because of the nature of the enterprise. they lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students. even a very good college is a very bad business.it is such colleges, promising but threatened, that i worry about. low enrollment is not their chief problem. even with full enrollment, they may go under. efforts to save them, and preferably to keep them private, are a national necessity. there is no basis for arguing that private schools are inherently (固有地) better than public schools. there are many examples to the contrary. anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. it is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity is a national necessity. diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education. in an imperfect society such as ours, uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous, in an imperfect society, diversity is a positive good. supporters of public higher education know the importance of sustaining private higher education.11.according to the authors opinion schools are bad businesses because of _.a. mismanagementb. too few studentsc. too many studentsd. the nature of schools12. the author used the phrase “go under” (sentence 3, para. 3) to mean _.a. get

(2012大纲全国卷，c)last night i was driving from harrisburg to lewisburg, a distance of about eighty miles.it was late.several times i got stuck behind a slowmoving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left，and i became increasingly impatient.at one point along an open road，i came to a crossing with a traffic light.i was alone on the road by now，but as i drove near the light，it turned red and i made a stop.i looked left，right and behind me.nothing.not a car，no suggestion of car lamps， but there i sat，waiting for the light to change，the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.i started wondering why i refused to run the light.i was not afraid of being caught，because there was clearly no policeman around，and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.much later that night，the question of why id stopped for that light came back to me.i think i stopped because its part of a contract(契约) we all have with each other.its not only the law，but its an agreement we have，and we trust each other to honor it：we dont go through red lights.trust is our first inclination (倾向)doubting others does not seem to be natural to us.the whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互) trust，not distrust.we do what we say well do；we show up when we say well show up；and we pay when we say well pay.we trust each other in these matters，and were angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.i was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.1why did the author get impatient while driving?ahe was lonely on the road.bhe was slowed down by a truck.che got tired of driving too long.dhe came across too many traffic lights.2what was the authors immediate action when the traffic light turned red?astopping still.b driving through it.clooking around for other cars.dchecking out for traffic police. 3the event made the author strongly believe that .atraffic rules may be unnecessarybdoubting others is human naturecpatience is important to driversda society needs mutual trust4why was the author proud of himself?ahe kept his promise.bhe held back his anger.che followed his inclination.dhe made a right decision.参考答案14：badd,本文为记叙文，题材属于人物故事类。作者在没有警察且没有其他车辆的情况下仍然遵守交通规则，因为这个社会需要彼此的信任。we trust each other in these matters and were angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.本句中含有两个定语从句，that 为关系代词，代指 the person or organization，we have in them 也为定语从句，先行词为trust，关系代词省略掉了。在这些问题上，我们彼此信任，对于那些我们信任他们而他们却破坏这种信任的人或者组织，我们都感到气愤和失望。细节是围绕主题展开的，是对中心主题的进一步表达。细节题是针对原文提到的某个事物、现象或理论的考查。细节题主要考查考生是否能在快速阅读文章的同时，从中获取某些特定的直接信息或理解特定信息的意义。做细节理解题时，考生可采用以下步骤阅读理解-d nothing succeeds like confidence. when you are truly confident, it radiates from you like sunlight, and attracts success to you like a magnet（磁铁）. besides, those who are self-confident can in turn inspire confidence in others: their audience, their peers, their bosses, their customers, and their friends. and gaining the confidence of others is one of the key ways in which a self-confident person finds success. so how can we build a sense of self-confidence and prepare ourselves on the way to success? first, do what you believe to be right, even if others mock or criticize you for it. believe in yourself and believe that you can do it under any circumstances, because if you believe you can, then you really will. the belief keeps you searching for answers, which means that pretty soon you will get them.second, govern your behavior based on what other people think. whats more important, be willing to take risks and go the extra miles to achieve better results, in which case mistakes cannot be avoided. dont hesitate to admit your mistakes, and learn from them. next, work hard to settle the problems in order to cover up your mistakes before anyone notices. building self-confidence is readily achievable, as long as you have the focus and determination to carry things through. and whats even better is that the things youll do to build self-confidence will also build success -after all, your confidence will come from real, solid achievement. no one can take this away from you! as you sow, sow will reap. with your perseverance and improvement, you are getting closer to success. at this stage, wait for others to congratulate you on your accomplishments and compliments graciously. “thanks, i really worked hard on that prospect. im pleased you recognize my efforts.” the congratulations and compliments from others will promote you to gain further success. self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, and it is no wonder that so many people struggle to find it. self-confidence really can be learned and built on. besides, whether youre working on your own self-confidence or building the confidence of people around you, its well worth the effort! 16. those who are truly confident _.a. succeed without effort and hard work b. encourage people around to become confidentc. appear more attractive and thus become successfuld. gain the confidence of others and feel successful17. the underlined word “mock” (para.3 ) is closest in meaning to _.a. praise b. imitate c. punish d. laugh at 18. when others congratulate us on our achievements, we are supposed to _.a. praise them in return b. gain further improvement c. politely accept the compliments d. expect them to congratulate you again19. which of the following proverbs best goes with paragraph 4?a. look before your leap.b. it is no use crying over spilt milk.c. genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.d. learn from past mistakes and avoid future ones. 20. the purpose of the text is to _.a. tell people how to become successfulb. convince people to do what they believe to be rightc. encourage people to build confidence and achieve successd. criticize people who lack confidence and thus fail in their career【参考答案】1620、bdcdc阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a.b.c和d项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。afor a while, my neighborhood was taken ever by an army of joggers(慢跑者). they were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evenings. there were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “come on!” my friend alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “youll feel great.”well, i had nothing against feeling great and if alex could jog every day, anyone could. so i took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army, im not alone in my opinion.first of all, jogging is very hard on the body. your legs and feet take a real pounding（追击）running down a road for two or three miles. i developed foot, leg, and back problems. then i read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and i had something else to worry about. jogging doesnt kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.secondly, i got no enjoyment out of jogging. putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isnt my idea of fun. jogging is also a lonely pastime. some joggers say, “i love being out there with just my thoughts. ” well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.and
