2014高考英语阅读理解抓分练习题（8）及答案 （济南市201*届高三教学质量调研） the website farmersonly. com calls itself an online dating and friendship finder. the idea started in the mind of a man, jerry miller in ohio. he wondered how farmers could meet new people who understand the life of a farmer. jerry miller is not a farmer but he represents a lot of farmers. as he tells it,the idea for the site was planted when a farmer told him one day that she was recently divorced and would like to date. but someone would invite her to meet for coffee at nine oclock at night, when she had to start her day at five the next morning. so, in 2005, jerry miller launched his website. you dont have to be a farmer to be on farmersonly. com. but you do have to have the good old-fashioned traditional values of americas heartland. you also have to live in the united states or canada to be a member of the site. some services are free, but a full membership costs fifty dollars for a year. as of last week the sire listed more than 58,000 members. many of them are farmers in the united states. others are students or workers involved in some way with agriculture. jerry miller tells us about thirty marriages in the last year have resulted from his website. some farmers have also found love through a group,singles in agriculture,which was formed as a nonprofit organization in 1986.it organizes gatherings that usually end with a dance, but is not a dating service. the purpose is to support educational and social activities that offer people a chance for friendship. its website,,says there are more than l,000 members across

miller是在听完一位女性农民的苦衷后才创办了这个网站，以便为农民网上约会和交友提供方便，由此可推断他创办网站的目的是帮助农民。(2)c句意理解题。有人邀请她在晚上九点喝咖啡，可是她必须在第二天早上五点起床，由此可推断乡村生活没有被很好地理解。(3)a正误判断题。根据最后一段第句中的a nonprofit organization可知这是一个非营利性机构，它创办的网站提供的是免费服务。(4)b作者意图题。作者只是客观地介绍了jerry miller创办的网站，顺便提及了另外一个网站，并没有发表自己的观点，所以作者意在对两个网站进行介绍。(5)d推理判断题。由文中介绍的这两个关于农民社交的网站可推知因特网有助于提高农民的社交生活。 abraham lincoln was born into poverty 200 years ago. at any other time and place, this lowly origin would have dictated his future, but in lincolns case, his self-determination and force of will made it possible for him to secure his seat in his countrys history. he has become a role model in the self-made america.if you want to learn about somebody who didnt quit, look no further. abraham lincoln had two business ventures failed, and the second one made him bankrupt, so he had to spend the next 17 years of his life paying for the debt. he also lost 8 different elections. it seemed that he had never done things right at the first time: the first time he ran for state legislature for congress, for land officer, for senate, all of these failed, and the first time he sought the vice-presidential nomination, he got less than 100 votes nationally. but he never found it too shameful to carry on his mission. then later in 1860, on such a rough road, he made it to the white house. he lived up to his famous saying, “always bear in mind that your own determination to success is more important than any other.”he could have quit many times-but he didnt and because he didnt quit ，he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of america. one important way lincoln influences present society is that we look back on his life as a role model for future generations. lincolns high character influences

teachers completed questionnaires (调查表）about the students* academic efforts. he found some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school, and these students had consistently the best study skills according to their teachers. other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school.at all points in time, teachers rated the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and the students with the highest dating as having the worst study skills,1 according to the journal article. study skills refer to behaviors that lead to academic success such as doing work for extra credit being well organized, finishing homework, working hard and reading assigned chapters.dating a classmate may have the same emotional complications of dating a co-worker, orpinas said, when the couple break up. they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps witness the ex-partner dating someone
