陕西省咸阳市2014高考英语阅读理解（3）及答案【2014高考英语广东省佛山市质测试题】c being honest are fundamental requirements if you want to grow spiritually and follow your true destination of personal development. its not simply about being honest with people. while that will make you a better person and a more accepted one its more importantly about being honest with yourself. living your life honestly means that youve decided to live openly and to show your true self to others and that you can be relied upon to be trustworthy. on the other hand, dishonesty is all about shade and concealment and living your life in dark corners. when youre dishonest, it means that you remain living in the dark and cannot grow spiritually. honesty produces trust-trust in ourselves and in all those around us. trust in turn produces confidence which we all need to overcome lifes problems and which also encourages us to take risks in order to achieve our goals. youll have no doubt heard expressions such as what goes around, comes around and you get back, what you give out in life and thats very true. if you dont live your lives honestly, you can be assured that the people youll attract will turn out to be very similar to you and its therefore unavoidable that one day you11 be on the receiving end of someones dishonest actions or words. there may be situations where telling the whole truth causes you to bring a lot of pain on somebody else. for example, john may have told paul that he cant go on a weekend fishing trip with him because he has a family commitment arranged that weekend. you know differently and that the real reason john isnt going is because he hates paul. when paul asks you if you know whether the reason is true, what do you say? well, in situations like this, its often better to be economical(经济的) with the truth. you might say that you dont know why john cant go or that you think he has something on that weekend. of course, this isnt telling the complete truth but you are sparing pauls feelings on something that wont, after all, have strong influence on pauls future.36. if you want to grow spiritually, it is best for you to_. a. follow your destination b. be true to yourself c. plan your

another to determine who holds yummier treats, according to a new study. this study joins others that show dogs are good observers of human behaviors and feelings. it offers evidence dogs use information not only from peoples direct interactions with them, but also their interactions with one another. in the study, dogs watched a man ask two women for some of their corns. both women gave the man corns when he asked, but in response to one woman, the man showed his enthusiasm and said the corns were so delicious. in response to the other woman, he gave the corns back and called them gross (in spanish; the study was conducted in argentina). after these interactions, the man left and an assistant holding the dog let the dog go. while many dogs didnt approach either woman, the dogs that did have a preference tended to prefer the woman with the yummier food. other studies of dogs people-watching ability have found dogs are able to tell thedifference between happy and sad faces in their owners. they prefer people who give others food when asked over people who dont give others food. and in one study, dogs turned toward crying people more often than toward talking people. so how much do dogs really understand about the humans around them? thats not totally settled yet. in a strange twist to the argentine study above, when the researchers tried an experiment in which they put two plates of corns on a table and had a man react to each plate, dogs didnt preferentially approach the tastier plate afterward. you could say dogs watch for the interaction between two people, not just how a person reacts. yet a previous study found dogs will choose boxes that people reacted to happily, but not boxes people reacted to with a disgusted face. well, either way, you can be sure fluffs is keeping an eye on you, to the best of her ability. the study was published in the journal plos one.41. what does the study mentioned in paragraph l show? a. dogs prefer yummier foods. b. dogs like to copy humans behavior. c. dogs can interact with humans easily. d. dogs can read human actions and feelings.42. what does the underlined word gross probably mean? a. disgusting. b. healthy.c. yummy. d. hot.43. which is one of the procedures of the argentine study? a. one of the women didnt give the food to the man. b. the man had different reactions to the food received. c. the assistant accompanied the dogs to get the food. d. many dogs went to one of the women.44. what can be concluded from paragraph 4? a. interactions between two people confuse dogs. b. dogs never understand the reaction of one person. c. dogs have good interactions with one another. d. the findings of some studies are controversial.45. which is the best title for the passage? a. mans best friend. b. be kind to your dog c. dogs amazing ability d. dogs are observing you【参考答案】dabdd【2014高考英语河南省内黄一中一模】cscholarship application tips in 2014 for college studentsbefore you apply1. work hard to

corfu for about a month many years ago. i rented a motorcycle and headed into the interior of the island in search of isolated trails(踪迹） and sleepy villages. i rode for hours along dirt trails. i had to keep a close watch on the gas tank because there were no gas stations anywhere except at the village where i had rented the motorcycle. at half a tank, i had no choice but to turn back. the needle had just hit halfway and i was turning around to head back when i noticed an old tomb in the distance, far away from any village or other sign of habitation. i decided to stretch my legs before

tomb. small, orange wildflowers were growing up around it. this might not have been so unusual except for the fact that they were the only flowers growing anywhere in the tomb. the contrast of these symbols of life and springtime next to a symbol of death was so striking, i decided to take a photograph of it. i took my camera out of my backpack and took the photo from the angle i wanted. before i
