江苏省新沂市2015高考英语阅读理解一轮练习（2）（答案）阅读理解。阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(a、b、c和d)中，选出最佳选项。we know the famous onesthe thomas edisons and the alexander graham bellsbut what about the less famous inventors? what about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)？shouldnt we know who they are?joan mclean thinks so. in fact, mclean, a professor of physics at mountain university in range, feels so strongly about this matter that shes developed a course on the topic. in addition to learning “who”invented“what”， however, mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the“why” and “how” questions. according to mclean，“when students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”her students agree. one young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of mcleans statement. “if i had not heard the story of the windshield wipers invention，”said tommy lee, a senior physics major，“i never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.”lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.so, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? well，mary anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to new york city.the day was cold and stormy, but anderson still wanted to see the sights，so she jumped aboard a streetcar. noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield，she found herself wondering why there couldnt be a builtin device for cleaning the window. still wondering about this when she returned home to birmingham, alabama, anderson started drafting out solutions. one of her ideas, a lever(操作杆)on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. its hard to imagine driving without garrett amorgans traffic light. its equally impossible to picture a world without katherine jblodgetts innovation that makes glass invisible. can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?大发明家与重要的发明固然令人振奋，但生活中也离不开小发明，本篇文章鼓励年轻人要善于把握发明的契机。9by mentioning “traffic light”and “windshield wiper”，the author indicates that countless inventions are_.a. beneficial，because their inventors are famousb. beneficial，though their inventors are less famousc. not useful, because their inventors are less famousd. not useful, though their inventors are famous答案：b。细节理解题。由文章最后一段，特别是第一句“today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations.”可知信号灯和雨刮器等这些小的发明使我们受益。第一段最后一句“shouldnt we know who they are？”意思是“难道我们不该知道他们(发明者)是谁吗？”可知发明者不怎么出名。10professor

i have taught in has ever considered spelling unimportant as a basic skill.there are，however，quite different ideas about how to teach it，or how much priority it must be given over general language development and writing ability.the problem is，how to encourage a child to express himself freely in writing without holding him back with spelling.if spelling becomes the only point of his teachers interest，clearly a bright child will be likely to “play_safe”he will write only words within his spelling range.thats why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.i was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience：“this work is terrible！there are far too many spelling mistakes.” it may have been a sharp criticism of the pupils technical abilities in writing，but it was also a sad thing for the teacher who had omitted(略过) to read the composition，which contained some beautiful expressions of the childs deep feelings.the teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes，but if his priority had concentrated on the childs ideas，an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more hope to seek improvement.36teachers differ in their opinions about_.athe difficulties in teaching spellingbthe role of spelling in general language developmentcthe importance of the basic writing skillsdthe necessity of teaching spelling37the underlined expression “play safe” in paragraph 2 probably means_.awrite carefullybdo as teachers saycuse dictionaries frequentlydavoid using words one is not sure of38teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that_.astudents will be able to express their ideas more freelybteachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakescstudents will have more trust in writingdstudents will learn to spell words correctly39the writer seems to think that the teachers judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is_.areasonable bunfaircfoolish dcareless40the major point discussed in the passage is_.athe importance of developing writing skillsbthe importance of spellingcthe correct way of marking compositiondthe relationship between spelling and the content of a composition36b本文是议论文，but，however，yet等连接词前面往往为他人或一般的观点和看法，连接词后才是作者的观点和看法。本题可从第一段however后面的内容得知。37d从此句的下句可知。38a从第一段最后一句及第二段可知。39b从最后一段中的关键词shocked及信息词but 可知作者的态度。40d由第一段最后一句可知d项正确。阅读理解-c42012上海卷 the

throughout america and beyond.the concept is simple：help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.in addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all，the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus，as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools.the idea came from seattle librarian nancy pearl who launched(发起)the“if all of seattle read the same book”project in 1998.her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other american cities，and even to hong kong.in chicago，the mayor (市长) appeared on television to announce the choice of to kill a mockingbird as the first book in the “one book，one chicago”program.as a result，reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city.across the us, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.the only problem arose in new york，where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population.this may show that the idea works best in mediumsized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity (一致) can be achieved.or it may show that new yorkers rather missed the point，putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than into discussion about a book itself.ultimately，as nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book，but by how many people are enriched by the process，or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared_a_word.西雅图的一名图书管理员建议大家在同一时间阅读同一本书，并允许陌生人在公共场所对这本书进行讨论，这样做既可以促进陌生人之间的交流，又能培养公众的社区意识。然而，在像纽约等一些大城市，由于人口背景复杂，很难选出一本具有代表性的书，或许这一想法在一些中等城市更容易实施。12what is the purp
