2014高考英语阅读理解基础练习精品题（17）及答案阅读理解housing price in china has always caused heated discussions among property（房产）developers and ordinary chinese. to many property developers and local government officials, housing price in china is still low compared with many developed countries. however, the average housing price in the united states is only 8,000 yuan per square meter, while in china, it is even higher than in the united states. this shows that there are some bubbles(泡沫) in chinese real estate market, the international finance news reported. although the average price of residential houses in the united states, after converted to renminbi, is about 8,000 yuan per square meter, the houses in us are not sold in terms of building area, as most chinese property developers do when they sell their houses. if us property developers sell their houses according to the building area, then the housing price will be even lower than 8,000 yuan per square meter. in most big chinese cities, such as beijing, shanghai, and shenzhen, houses are sold at a price even higher than those in the us. the high housing sales price in large cities in china proves that chinese real estate market does have some bubbles. moreover, chinese houses can not be compared with houses in us in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities. furthermore, it should be noted that american peoples average income is several dozen times higher than that of chinese people. how can the chinese afford to buy a house which is even more expensive than that sold in us? at the beginning of 2007, chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public. now in order to reduce the high housing prices, the government can regulate(控制) the real estate market by raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans and lands to property developers. at the same time, the government should allow people to build more houses through various fund-raising channels, such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units. by applying these multiple means, it is expected that the high housing prices can be lowered. 13what is the average housing price per square meter in china?

there are problems psychology doesnt have the answer to, and which no words can describe. sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically. the first two times we met, david didnt say a word. he sat there, only looking up to look at the childrens drawings on the wall behind me. i suggested we play a game of chess. he nodded. after that he played chess with me every wednesday afternoonin complete silence and without looking at me. its not easy to cheat in chess, but i admit i made sure david won once or twice. usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before i even got a chance to sit down. it seemed as if he enjoyed my company. but why did he never look at me? “perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with，” i thought. “perhaps he senses that i respect his suffering.”some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly. “its your turn，” he said. after that day, david started talking. he got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. he wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. now he had really started to live his own life. maybe i gave david something. but i also learned that onewithout any wordscan reach out to another person. all it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.36when he first met the author, david _ a. felt a little excitedb. walked energeticallyc. looked a little nervousd. showed up with his teacher37as a psychologist, the author _a. was ready to listen to davidb. was skeptical about psychologyc. was able to describe davids problemd. was sure of handling davids problem38david enjoyed being with the author because he_awanted to ask the author for advicebneeded to share sorrow with the author cliked the childrens drawings in the officedbeat the author many times in the chess game39what can be inferred about david?ahe recovered after months of treatment.bhe liked biking before he lost his family.che went into university soon after starting to talk.dhe got friends in school before he met the author. 40what made david change?ahis teachers help.bthe authors friendship.chis exchange of letters with the author.dthe authors silent communication with him.【要点综述】 对于一个自闭的孩子，心理医生最好的疗法或许就是默默地和他一块感受他的痛苦36c 细节理解题。由第一段的“and his hands shaking slightly.”可以看出，第一次见面时david有点紧张。37a细节理解题。由第二段的“sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.”可以看出，他已准备好了聆听。38b细节理解题。在第五段中，作者对小男孩愿意来找他的原因进行了猜测：“perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with，” i thought.“perhaps he senses that i respect his suffering.”由此可知答案。39a推理判断题。经过作者的治疗，david已经恢复了正常：started talking, got friends in school and joined a bicycle club，同时给作者写信描述了自己目前的生活以及对将来生活的打算。由此可知答案。40d细节理解题。由文章可知，是作者的正确治疗方法，才使david恢复得那么好。他的方法就是：is to listen openly and sympathetically，具体的做法就是默默地和他下棋。 london（reuters）- britain needs to spend up to one billion pounds a year to protect easily destroyed english wildlife habitats from climate change, intensive（集约）farming and population growth, a government-backed report said on friday.it urged the government to transform conservation policy in the next 40 years to avoid a devastating loss of the countryside that supports thousands of important plants, trees and animals. british ecologist john lawton, who led the year-long study, said englands wildlife habitats are too small and isolated to protect many species from increased strains in coming decades. creating a stronger, better connected network of well-managed habitats will cost between 600 million pounds and 1.1 billion pounds each year, the report estimated（估计）. failure to act could lead to the loss of areas rich with diverse species, such as meadows, wiids and rivers, the report said. centuries of human activity have helped to shape these habitats and they will need ongoing management if they are to survive, it said. the united nations called on world leaders this week to take bold action to preserve animal and plant species. it says the world is facing the worst losses since the dinosaurs vanished 65 million years ago. england has at least 55,000 species, including significant levels of bats, bumblebees, wildfowl and mature oak trees. the pace and scale of environmental change over the last 50 years was worrying and is likely to get worse, the report said. future threats include extreme weather, droughts（干旱）, rising sea levels and the loss of areas like wet grasslands to farming to feed a growing population, the report said. its authors made 24 recommendations to create stronger habitats. the measures include better management of habitats, setting up new ecological restoration zones and improved water quality and flood protection17according to the passage, which of the following is not the cause of the loss of wildlife habitats?aclimate changebpopulation growthcintensive farmingddecreasing habitats18the underlined word “meadows” in paragraph 7 probably means .aa species of animals bmountainscpieces of grasslanddforests19what can we infer from the text?
