湖北省随州市2014高考英语阅读理解、短文改错训练（10）（答案或解析）when i was seven my father gave me a timex，ray first watch. i loved it, wore it for years, and havent had another one since it stopped ticking a decade ago. why? because i dont need one. i have a mobile phone and im always near someone with an ipod or something like that. all these devices(装置) tell the time which is why, if you look around, youll see lots of empty wrists; sales of watches to young adults have been going down since 2007.but while the wise have realized that they dont need them，othersapparently including some distinguished men of our time are spending total fortunes on them. brands such as rolex, patek philippe and breitling command shocking prices, up to 250,000 for a piece.this is ridiculous. expensive cars go faster than cheap cars. expensive clothes hang better than cheap clothes. but these days all watches tell the time as well as all other watches. expensive watches come with extra functions but who needs them? how often do you dive to 300 metres into the sea or need to find your direction in the area around the south pole? so why pay that much of five years school fees for watches that allow you to do these things?if justice were done, the swiss watch industry should have closed down when the japanese discovered how to make accurate watches for a five-pound note. instead the swiss reinvented the watch ，with the aid of millions of pounds worth of advertising, as a message about the man wearing it. rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains; a patek philippe is for one from a rich or noble family; a breitling suggests you like to pilot planes across the world.watches are now classified as “investments” (投资). a 1994 patek philippe recently sold for nearly 350,000, while 1960s rolexes have gone from 15,000 to 30,000 plus in a year. but a watch is not an investment. its a toy for self-satisfaction, a matter of fashion. prices may keep going uptheyve been rising for 15 years. but when fashion moves on, the owner of that 350,000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood timex.语篇解读本文从小时候父亲买的那块表说起，简单说明了“表”曾经辉煌的历史和现在的年轻人，包括我，由于各种新设备的出现，如移动电话等上面都可识别时间，不再戴“表”似乎成了一种趋势，然而令人啼笑皆非的是尽管“表”针对年轻人的销售量越来越小，却越来越高档化。1. the sales of watches to young people have fallen because they_.a.

clothes sell better than cheap onesc. cheap cars dont run as fast as expensive onesd. expensive watches with unnecessary functions still sell解析事实细节题。从第三段expensive watches come with extra functions.so why pay that much of five yearsschool fees for watches that allow you to do these things？和第四段instead the swiss reinvented the watch，with the aid of millions of pounds worth of advertising，as a message

beat its competitors.c. it wastes a huge amount of money in advertising.d. its easy for the industry to reinvent cheap watches.解析推理判断题。根据第四段rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing icy

prodigies (神童), i learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regions. most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in russia and eastern europe. i asked isaac stern, one of the worlds greatest violinists the reason for this phenomenon. “it is very clear,” he told me. “they were all jews and jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world. they were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage.” as a result, every jewish parents dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the west.another element in the emergence of prodigies, i found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field to nurture (培育) talent. nowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the far east. “in japan, a most competitive society, with stronger discipline than ours,” says isaac stern, children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. when western music came to japan after world war ii, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well. the koreans and chinese as we know, are just as highly motivated as the japanese.thats a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. next to hard work, biological inheritance plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. j. s. bach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music.53.jewish parents in eastern europe longed for their children to attend music school because _.a. it would allow them access to a better life in the westb. jewish children are born with excellent musical talentc. they wanted their children to enter into the professional fieldd. it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country（a）54.nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that _.a. are highly motivated in the education of music b. treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full developmentc. encourage people to compete with each otherd. promise talented children high positions（b）55.which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigies according to the passage?a. a natural gift.b. extensive knowledge of music.c. very early training.d. a prejudice-free society.（a）56.which of the following titles best summarizes the main idea of the passage?a. jewish contribution to music b. training of musicians in the worldc. music and societyd. the making of music prodigies参考答案53-56 abad*结束beijing, feb. 10 (xinhua) - chinas economic planning agency thursday announced a rise in minimum rice purchase prices this year to encourage farmers to grow more grain. a statement on the national development and reform commission (ndrc) website said the government would continue the policy of minimum purchase prices in major rice-growing regions in 2011. the rises in the minimum rice purchase price had been approved by the state council, chinas cabinet, said the statement. the purchase prices for japonica rice will rise 21.9 percent to 128 yuan (19.4
