2014浙江省绍兴县高考英语阅读理解选练（4）及答案【辽宁省葫芦岛市2014一模试题】the hunan satellite tv(hntv) show “where are we going, dad?” is a big hit. many famous stars brought their children to a strange village alone, and they had to spend 72 hours with their children there. the program fully showed us a modern version of the “how to be a good father”. as the young parents today are too busy to take care of their children, this new form of “lost on the way” played by nanny daddy and cute kids triggered（触发）a lot of peoples emotional resonance（共鸣）. both the kids and their parents will find that their hearts are being drawn closer. but this kind of feeling has just proved that there is a big spiritual barrier between the modern parents and children. the tv shows like “children are hard to support!”, “where are we going, dad?”, “hot mom” and “cute kids” are becoming more and more popular. all of these show the new parents confusion in childrens education and the appeal for the balance between career and family.in real life, on the one hand the young parents feel helpless because they are too busy to accompany their children under the pressures of work and life; on the other hand they continue to do so. the data collected by hntv shows that nearly two-thirds of their audience are female, among whom 36% are aged from 25 to 34.we can imagine such a scene that one evening a young mother is watching the show with her young children, while her husband is still at work or trapped in socializing, or maybe is just playing computer games in the bedroom. the story of a child without the company of father is still going on. in fact, it is sometimes the same to mothers. in a modern family, it is often the old who take the responsibility of raising a child. the participation of mother in the childrens education is also very low.it is just this kind of confusion where the parents have gone in the modern family education, and where the parents will guide their children to go that “where are we going，dad?” shows us. if a child wants to grow up healthily and safely into a modern citizen with independent personality and free spirit, it is very important for him or her to follow the parents who serve as their first teacher. maybe this is the real reason why such kind of tv programs could get hot. the truth is that children will go where their parents go; and society will go where the children go.32. in raising a child in modern society, parents should _. a. play computer games with their children b. keep their children at home to avoid socializing c. balance well between family and careerd. break down the barrier between children and teachers33. which of the following can be inferred in the passage?a. parents shouldnt entirely leave the education of children to the old.b. 36% of the audience of the program are female aged from 25-34. c. the program shows us the confusion where the parents and children will go to play.d. in a modern family it is often mothers who are responsible for raising a child.34. which one is the best title of the passage? a. confusion behind “where are we going, dad?” b. modern education is important c. nanny daddy and cute kids d. new problems in modern childrens education35. what attitude towards modern family education does the author express in the second paragraph? a. proud. b. worried. c. optimistic. d. indifferent. 【参考答案】3235 caab 阅读理解air pollution is damaging 60% of europes prime wildlife sites in meadows, forests and bushes, according to a new report.a team of eu scientists said nitrogen emissions(氮排放) from cars, factories and farming were threatening biodiversity. its the second report this week warning of the on-going risks and threats linked to nitrogen pollution.nitrogen in the atmosphere is harmless in its inert(惰性的) state, but the report says reactive forms of nitrogen, largely produced by human activity, can be a menace to the natural world.emissions mostly come from vehicle exhausts(排气), factories, artificial fertilizers(肥料) and animal waste from intensive farming. the reactive nitrogen they emit to the air disrupts the environment in two ways: it can make acidic soils too acidic to support their previous mix of species. but primarily, because nitrogen is a fertilizer, it favors wild plants that can maximize the use of nitrogen to help them grow. in effect, some of the nitrogen spread to fertilize crops is carried in the atmosphere to fertilize weeds, possibly a great distance from where the chemicals were first applied.the effects of fertilization and acidification favor common aggressive species like grasses, brambles and nettles. they harm more delicate species like mosses(苔藓), and insect-eating sundew plants.the report said 60% of wildlife sites were now receiving a critical load of reactive nitrogen. the reports lead author, dr kevin hicks from the university of yorks stockholm environment institute (sei), told bbc news that englands peak district had a definitely low range of species as a result of the reactive nitrogen that fell on the area.“nitrogen creates a rather big problem that seems to me to have been given too little attention,” he said. “governments are responsible for protecting areas like this, but they are clearly failing.” he said more research was needed to understand the knock-on effects for creatures from the changes in vegetation accidentally caused by emissions from cars, industry and farms. at the conference, the representatives agreed “the edinburgh declaration on reactive nitrogen”. the document highlights the importance of reducing reactive nitrogen emissions to the environment, adding that the benefits of reducing nitrogen outweigh the costs of taking action.5. the underlined word “menace” is used to express that the reactive nitrogen, largely produced by human activity can be _.a. frighteningb. threateningc. uniqued. unusual6. we can infer from the passage that _.its harmless to have reactive nitrogen existing in the atmospherereactive nitrogen emissions help aggressive species less than cropsthe harm to those delicate species has a negative impact on biodiversityreactive nitrogen can fertilize soils and keep their biodiversity7. the team of eu scientists released the second report of nitrogen emissions this week when _.no action was taken to stop nitrogen emissiongovernments were willing to protect areas harmed by nitrogen “the edinburgh declaration on reactive nitrogen” was agreednitrogen emissions were threatening wildlife sites biodiversity8. which of the following would be the best title for the passage?a. keeping away from nitrogen emissionsb. stopping nitrogen emissionsc. air pollution damaging europes wildlifed. saving europes wildlife【参考答案】5、b 68、cdc 阅读理解-cthe 2010 eustace tilley
