青岛市2014高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（6）（答案及解析）阅读理解words：322难度系数：建议用时：8分钟in the summer of 1978 an english farmer was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered that some of his wheat was lying flat on the ground.the flattened wheat formed a circle about six meters across.around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat.the five circles were in a formation like five dots.during the following years，farmers in england found the strange circles in their fields more and more often.the circles are called“crop circles”because they appear in the fields of grainusually wheat or corn.the grain in the circles lies flat on the ground but is never broken；it continues to grow，and farmers can later harvest it.farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning，so the circles probably form at night.they appear only in the months from may to september.at first，people thought that the circles were a hoax.probably young people were making them as a joke，or farmers were making them to attract tourists.to prove that the circles were a hoax，people tried to make circles exactly like the ones that farmers had found.they couldnt do it.they couldnt enter a field of grain without leaving tracks，and they couldnt flatten the grain without breaking it.many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circles to communicate with us from far away and that the crop circles are messages from them.scientists who have studied the crop circles suggested several possibilities.some scientists say that a downward rush of wind leads to the formation of the circlesthe same downward rush of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash.other scientists say that forces within the earth cause the circles to appear.there is one problem with all these scientific explanations：crop circles often appear in formations，like the fivedot formation.it is hard to believe that any natural force could form those.1in the summer of 1978，an english farmer

there would be a lot of candles. hed need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.while many people in china will remember confucius on his special day, few people in the united states will give him a passing thought. its nothing personal. most americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.but this doesnt mean that americans dont care about confucius. in many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of china.in the past two decades, the chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in western universities. more recently, the chinese government has set up confucius institutes in more than 80 countries. these schools teach both chinese language and culture. the main courses of chinese culture usually include chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学)some social scientists suggest that westerners should take advantage of the ancient chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of western philosophy. students in the united states, at the same time, are racing to learn chinese. so they will be ready for life in a world where china is an equal power with the united states. businessmen who hope to make money in china are reading books about confucius to understand their chinese customers.so the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well.today china attracts the west more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce confucius and chinese culture to the west.as for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the west, even if his birthday is.64the opening paragraph is mainly intended to _.aprovide some key facts about confuciusbattract the readers interest in the subjectcshow great respect for the ancient thinkerdprove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations65we can learn from paragraph 4 that american students _.ahave a great interest in studying chinesebtake an active part in chinese competitionsctry to get high scores in

b写作意图题。作者开篇提出，如果孔子活到今天，按照西方点蜡烛庆祝他的生日，吹蜡烛是一件麻烦的事情。作者以这个作为开场白，目的是吸引读者。c有一定的干扰性。作者在后面讲述了西方人不会这么做，这并不代表他们不尊重孔子，由此我们排除c。65. a推理判断题。第四段的第一句就是本段的主旨句。这一段讲述了孔子文化在西方的受欢迎程度，因此我们可以得出答案。66. d主旨大意题。全文讲述了孔子学院在西方的受欢迎程度。它架起了东方文化向西方输送的桥梁，因此是古老的思想家与未来的结合。c有一定的干扰性。本文介绍了孔子思想在西方国家的传播，因此c的范围过大。67. c文章出处题。本文介绍了孔子学院在西方的盛行，因此属于报道类文章，应该是在报纸里出现。*结束 (3)if you do not use your arm or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. everybody knows that. yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. when someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. when someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. if a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(过错). but if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. have you ever found that some people cant read or write but usually they have better memories? this is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook. they have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. so if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering.1. the main reason for one is poor memory is that _. a. his father or mother may have a poor memoryb. he does not use his name or legs for some timec. his memory is not often usedd. he cant read or write2. if you do not use your arms or legs for some time _. a. you cant use them any moreb. they will become strongerc. they become
