a successful person. look at the example of the blue whale：it has a huge brain，but it still doesnt know how to avoid whalers or use its large size and weight to deal with those who try to use their body for profit. scientists hold an opinion that the blue whale just likes some highly intelligent people who fail to succeed. those highly intelligent people cant succeed in life because they cant communicate well with the world around them.intelligence is a word in life that makes you think you are better than others. intelligence can blind these very people from how others view them. these people also think that the route to power and success results purely from intelligence and they sometimes live in a fantasy world that they create by their supposed brain power.this is a distance that develops whether or not they realize it and sometimes，a person can be disliked simply because of his or her intelligence. this distance is sometimes so far apart that it gets to the position where they cant listen to each other. one side thinks the other is stupid and the other thinks he/she is haughty(傲慢的)and most of the time it is the intelligent people who lose themselves in this situation. they become unpopular with most of the people around them. this affects them in whatever they do and sooner or later they will lose their confidence.it doesnt help that they get a culture shockespecially when they leave college and realize success and richness dont always and sometimes never come naturally with intelligence. while some might think this is a dramatic picture to paint，it is sometimes the end result of some people.1the example of “the blue whale” is used to show _.acommunication is more important than intelligence bhuman beings are always more intelligent than animalschumans should have the sense of protecting animalsdthe blue whale is the largest animal in the world2those supposed intelligent people often believe that _.athey should make their life the same with othersbthey should live in a better world than the otherscthey are sure to be successful because of their intelligencedother peoples opinion should be seriously considered3what makes the intelligent people lose their confidence?athey often cant get higher positions though they are intelligent.bthey become separated from other people and lose their support.cthey cant persuade those stupid people to accept their ideas.dthey often cant make good use of their advantages.4we can infer that the end result of the supposed intelligent people would be _.agreat achievements bmore effortscproper changes dfailure in the future参考答案14、acbd 2016高考英语阅读理解集训。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选出最佳选项。 one of my neighbors used to have a beautiful tree in her front yard. her dad had planted it for her when it was nothing more than a twig and several years later it started to shoot towards the sky with amazing speed. soon it blessed her with cooling shade in the summer and glorious, golden leaves in the fall. when the two-day snowstorm struck our town, heavy snow fell on the trees branches that were still full of leaves. the weight split that lovely tree down the middle. it was so sad seeing half of it laying on the ground after the storm. when i talked to my neighbor later, she said that the damage had been too much and that the entire tree would have to be cut down. thankfully she had saved a few saplings(树苗) from it that she hoped to replant in the future. still, it was a shock to drive by her house the other day and see nothing but a stump in her front yard. i missed that tree. i missed its beauty, its leaves shinning in the afternoon sun. i missed seeing its limbs reach towards the heavens. i thought that the stump would be a sad reminder of its loss for a long time to come. my wonderful neighbor, though, had another plan. when i drove by her home today i saw a tiny bird feeder sitting on that stump and a colorful songbird having its dinner. it was such an affirmation of life. it was such a joy to see. i could feel my heart smile. life by its very nature is a mixed bag. it hands us both beauty and tragedy, love and loss, pleasure and pain. what we do with it, however, is up to us. we can let it split us in two, or we can use even its hardest times to make our souls stronger and our hearts more loving. we can spend it complaining or we can use it to help others. 1. we know from the first paragraph that _a. the tree grew very slowly. b. the tree showed its beauty and benefits.c. the authors neighbor was good at planting trees. d. the tree was so strong that it could bear any weight.2. the authors neighbor left a stump in her front yard to use it as_. a. a good reminder. b. a seat after dinner. c. a place to feed birds. d. a beautiful sculpture.3. what does the author mainly want to show in the passage? a. life has beauty and tragedy. b. life consists of pain and suffering. c. life should be pleasant rather than painful. d. life is determined by our attitude towards it.参考答案13、bcd 【2016高考训练题】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选出最佳选项。wonderful places can he visited at a low price. you call visit the following places with hotel rates and

from the customer service department of her credit card company，after she contacted them with a question about her account. she was happy with their positive response. but as i read the email，one line jumped out at me：“in lieu of good customer service.” did they really mean they were offering her a few extra reward points instead of good customer service？i doubt it. more likely，what the customer service department meant to say was，“because good customer service is important to us.” followed by the details of what they were doing to make sure she remained a happy customer.so why didnt the
