江西省瑞金市2014高考英语阅读理解和完形填空训练（10）（含答案）lying in the sun on a rock, the cougar (美洲狮) saw jeb and his son, tom, before they saw it. jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar. it worked. the cougar hesitated, ready to attack jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.jeb let go of his jacket, grasped tom and held him across his body, making a cross. now the cougars enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately tom got scared and struggled free of jeb.“tom, no！”shouted his father.but tom broke and ran and thats the last thing you do with a cougar. the second tom broke free, jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. they hit each other in midair and both fell. the cougar was on jeb in a flash, forgetting about tom, which was what jeb wanted.cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. as the cougars claws (爪子) got into his left shoulder, jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. the animal howled (吼叫) and put its head back. jeb followed up with his other fist. then out of the corner of his eye, jeb saw tom. the boy was running back to help his father.“knife, tom，”shouted jeb.the boy ran to his fathers bag, while jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougars attention away from tom. tom got the knife and ran over to jeb. the cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall jeb was making out of his arms. tom swung with the knife, into the cougars back. it howled horribly and ran off into the mountains.the whole fight had taken about thirty seconds.1why did jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar?a. to get ready to fight.b. to frighten it away.c. to protect the boy.d. to cool down.2what do we know about cougars?a. they are afraid of noises.b. they hesitate before they hit.c. they are bigger than we think.d. they like to attack running people.3how did jeb try to hold the cougars attention?a. by keeping shouting and hitting.b. by making a wall out of his arms.c. by throwing himself on the cougar.d. by swinging his fists at the cougars eyes.4which of the following happened first?a. the cougar jumped from the rock.b. tom struggled free of his father.c. jeb asked tom to get the knife.d. jeb held tom across his body.1b。这是一道推断题。根据第一段第二句“jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar. it worked. the cougar hesitated”jeb把衬衣用双手张开让美洲狮看自己很大，美洲狮就犹豫，不再攻击他了。所以把衬衣张开的目的是吓唬住美洲狮。2d。这是一道推断题。根据第四段首句“but tom broke and ran and thats the last thing you do with a cougar.”tom撒腿就跑，这是对美洲狮做的最后一件事。这句话的隐含意是美洲狮一看到人逃跑就会攻击。3a。这是一道细节判断题。根据倒数第二段，“the boy ran to his fathers bag, while jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougars attention away from tom.”可知jeb吸引美洲狮的方法是吼叫和攻击。4d。这是一道判断题。根据文中的描述，先发生的是jeb让tom和自己的身体交叉，然后tom害怕了，挣开了他父亲跑了，美洲狮攻击tom, jeb就扑向美洲狮，在和美洲狮搏斗时，jeb让tom给他刀子。所以最先发生的是d项。*结束完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分 20分）（选自07-08第一学期金陵中学高三英语期中试卷）

and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amountthat is according to a study published this monday in the public library of science medicine journalafter tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45 to 79 years in the united kingdom from about 1993 to 2007, kay-tee khaw of the university of cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived all average of 14 years longer than those who didnt“weve known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but weve not seen this benefit before, ” said susan jebb, head of nutrition and health at britains medical research council“the benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from”study participants（参与者）scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intakepublic health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changesbut because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 years“we cant say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things, ”said drtim armstrong, a physical activity expert at the world health organization“the 14 years is an average across the population of whats theoretically（理论上地）possible”“most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking isnt good for them, ” susan jebb said“we need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change”53. which of the following doesnt belong to the four healthy habits?a. eat five servings of fruits and vegetables a dayb. do proper exercise in the morning every dayc. drinking alcohol in the proper amount every dayd. having a cigarette before going to bed every day54.we can learn from the passage that a. susan jebb did not take part in the studyb. the study observed people as well as tested specific changesc. theres no need for people under 45 to adopt these good habitsd. only those from first class can benefit from these healthy behaviors55. what can be inferred from the passage?a. all the people are well aware of the harm of their bad habitsb. people aged 45 to 70 have bad habits in the united kingdomc. governments should take measures to help people change their bad habitsd. people have adopted the four healthy habits after knowing theyre good56. what would be the best title for this passage?a. smoking and drinking cuts you 14 yearsb. how to live a much healthier lifec. how to make your life longer than others d. healthy habits may give extra 14 years参考答案53、dac 56 d *结束if you were to come up with a list of organizations whose failures had done the most damage to the american economy (经济) in recent years, you would probably have to start with the wall street firms that brought us the financial crisis (金融危机). from there, you might move on to the automakers in detroit.but i would suggest that the list should also include a less obvious nominee (被提名者): public education.at its top level, the american system of higher education may be the best in the world. yet in terms of its main task turning teenagers into educated college graduates much of the system is failing.the united states does a good job enrolling (招生) teenagers in college, but only half of the students who enroll end up with a bachelors degree.so finding out the causes of the college dropout crisis in the worlds largest economy matters greatly, and a new book called “crossing the finish line” tries to do precisely that. its authors are economists william bowen and michael mcpherson, and a doctoral candidate matthew chingos. the first problem they discover is something they call under-matching. it refers to students who choose not to attend the best college they can get into. they instead go to a less selective one, perhaps one that is closer to home or less expensive. about half of the low-income students with a grade-point average of at least 3.5 in high school and an sat score of at least 1,200 do not attend the best college they could have. “i was really astonished by the degree to which well-qualified students from poor families under-matched,” said mr. bowen. in fact, well-off students attend the colleges that do the best job of producing graduates. meanwhile, lower-income students even when they are better qualified often go to colleges that excel (擅长) in producing drop-outs. “its really a waste,” mr. bowen said, “and a big problem for the country.” as the authors point out, the only way to lift the college graduation rate greatly is to lift it among poor and working-class students. instead, it appears to have fallen.what can be done? money is clearly part of the answer. 49. according to this text, which of the following would people first think of as a factor causing damage to the american economy?a. the government.b. public education.c. the detroit automakers.d. the wall street firms.50. what is a big problem with american higher education?a. many college students stay away from classes.b. it is hard to enroll enough students into college.c. many colleges are experiencing low rate of graduation. d. it is hard for many colleges to get financial aid from the government. 51. why do some students under-match?a. because they are not sure about future.b. because they have financial problem.c. because they cant get guidance.d. because they lack confidence.52. the text is mainly about _. a. americas financial crisis, its cause and influence b. relationship between american education and its economy c. low rate of american college graduation, its cause and its influence d. problems with american secondary education and possible solutions 阅读理解-【词义猜测题】易错点(2012北京高考，b篇)peanuts to thisproudly reading my words，i glanced around the room，only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.confused，i glanced toward my stonefaced teacher.having no choice，i slowly raised the report i had slaved over，hoping to hide myself.“what could be causing everyone to act this way？”quickly，i flashed back to the day miss lancelot gave me the task.this was the first real task i received in my new school.it seemed simple：go on the internet and find information about a man named george washington.since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country，i had never heard of that name before.as i searched the name of this fellow，it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! one invented hundreds of uses for peanuts，while the other led some sort of army across america.i stared at the screen，wondering which one my teacher meant.i called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice：flip (掷) a coin.heads the commander，and tails the peanut guy.ah! tails，my report would be about th
