2014高考英语阅读理解精英训练题（10）及答案ask any person who is successful in whatever he or she is doing what motivates him/her, and very likely the answer will be goals. goal setting is extremely important to motivation and success. so what motivates you? why are you in college? if you are in college because thats what your parents want, you may find it difficult to motivate yourself. sure, its possible to succeed with someone else providing the motivation for you. (if you graduate from college, ill give you a car! or worse if you dont graduate from college, you wont get a car.) but motivation that comes from within really makes the difference. certainly, you need some intelligence, knowledge base, study skills, and time management skills, but if you dont have motivation, you wont get far. think about this analogy. you have a car with a full tank of gas, a well-tuned engine, good set of tires, quadraphonic cd system, and a sleek, polished exterior(外表). there it sits. this car has incredible potential. (have you heard that before?) however, until a driver sits behind the wheel, puts the key in the ignition(点火装置), and cranks it up, the car doesnt function. you guessed it; the key is motivation. interest is an important motivator for a student. so is a desire to learn. when you link these two things together, you create success. often success in an endeavor leads to more interest and a greater desire to learn, creating an upward spiral(螺旋形) of motivation toward a goal you have established. so be honest with yourself. are you genuinely interested in being in college? have you set realistic goals for yourself? how can you develop the internal motivation that really counts? when it comes to motivation, knowing is not as important as doing. 1. why does the writer give the example of a car in the second paragraph?a. because people can never go far without a good car.b. because a good car motivates some college students to study harder. c. because a good car is a symbol of being a success.d. because motivation leads people to success like it starts a car.2. what is the correct understanding of the internal motivation and the external (外部的)motivation? a. only the internal motivation can result in success. b. internal motivation outweighs external motivation. c. internal motivation and external motivation has equal importance. d. external motivation is enough for people to achieve success.3. according to the article the following factors can push people towards their goals except _?a. interest b. the desire to learn c. the knowledge of motivation d. the sense of success4. whats the main purpose of the article?a. to inspire everyone to develop motivation for whatever they are doing.b. to motivate college students to set goals for their college life. c. to imply that the less motivated college students quit the college.d. to call on parents to give up their over-protection of their children.5. what may be the writers advice to the potential readers?a. the goals you set for yourself shouldnt be far beyond your reach.b. you neednt attend college if you are really not interested in it.c. you should work harder to win praise from others.d. honesty is the best policy to solve problems in your life. 参考答案 1-5 d b c b a (2012四川眉山一诊)bbc sports program sundaywe are currently planning our volunteer program, which will ensure volunteers are trained and

available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding the internet, not to mention its ability to keep us in constant touch with each other via electronic mail. “if the automobile and aerospace technology had exploded at the same pace as computer and information technology,” says microsoft, “a new car would cost about $ 2 and go 600 miles on a small quantity of gas. and you could buy a boeing 747 for the cost of a pizza.”probably the biggest payoff, however, is the billions of dollars the internet is saving companies in producing goods and serving for the needs of their customers. nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the industrial revolution, when power-driven machines began producing more in a day than men could turn out in nearly a year. “we view the growth of the internet and e-commerce as a global trend,” says merrill lynch, “along the lines of printing press, the telephone, the computer, and electricity.”you would be hard pressed to name something that isnt available on the internet. consider: books, health care, movie tickets, construction materials, baby clothes, stocks, cattle feed, music, electronics, antiques, tools, real estate, toys, autographs of famous people, wine and airline tickets. and even after youve moved on to your final resting place, theres no reason those you love cant keep in touch. a company called finalt offers a place for you to store “afterlife e-mails” you can send to heaven with the help of a “guardian angel”.kids today are so computer literate that it in fact ensures the united states will remain the unchallenged leader in cyberspace for the foreseeable(能预测的) future. nearly all children in families with incomes of more than $75,000 a year have home computers, according to a study by the david and lucile packard foundation. youngsters from ages 2 to 17 at all income levels have computers, with 52% of those connected to the internet. most kids use computers to play games (some for 30 hours or more a week), and many teenage girls think nothing of rushing home from school to have e-mail chats with friends they have just left.whats clear is that, whether we like it or not, the internet is an ever growing part of our lives and there is no turning back. “the internet is just 20% invented,” says cyber pioneer jake winebaum. “the last 80% is happening now.”10. what can we learn from the microsofts remark? a. todays cars and airplanes are extremely overpriced. b. information technology has reached the point where improvement is difficult. c. information technology is developing at an amazing speed. d. theres more competition in information technology industry than in car industry.11. according to the author, the biggest benefit of the internet is that_. a. it saves companies huge amounts of money b. it speeds up profit making c. it provides easy access to information d. it brings people incredible convenience12. the author gives the example of finalt to make the point that_. a. there are some genius ideas on the internet b. some websites provide novel services to increase hitsc. people can find good bargains on the internetd. almost anything is available on the internet13. what can we learn from the fourth paragraph? a. many american children dont put computers to good use. b. the u.s. will stay ahead in the information technology in years. c. studies show that boys are more computer literate than girls. d. there is a link between income and computer ownership.14. what is the message the author intends to convey? a. we should have a positive attitude towards the changes the internet brings. b. the internet is going to get firm hold of our lives some day. c. the internet is going to influence our lives even more greatly. d. children should be well prepared for the challenges in the information age.15 which sentence has the phrase that possesses the same meaning as the one underlined in the fifth paragraph? a. think nothing of it. it was my pleasure. b. he thinks nothing of the pain in his back for the moment.c. some can tell you that he has changed their lives, while others think nothing of him d. he thinks nothing of staying up all night in the caf bar.参考答案 10-15: cadbcd (2012莆田质检)discover world heritage(遗产)heritage is treasure from the pastwhat we live with today and what we pass on to future generations. to preserve the

rushed to a hospital and never came home. lauren was the first to die in a multistate e._coli outbreak that killed three other children and sickened 700 people.like many people, austin had never heard of e. coli before. at first bewildered, and then angry, austin soon became the face of foodsafety reform in california and beyond. she cofounded a nonprofit group, safe tables our priority(stop), and pushed successfully for legislation (立法) requiring e. coli to be a reportable illness, so outbreaks could be followed and stopped sooner.nervous initially to be in the spotlight, she learned not to fear politicians for the beef and fastfood industries. she was in the oval office when president clinton signed the most sweeping changes to federal foodinspection law in the 1990s. she was in sacramento when a state measure named after her daughter passed, indicating minimum cooking temperatures in restaurants.austin, 64, is not sure she has much choice. every time she thinks shes handed off the baton(指挥棒) to others, though, something brings her back. a phone call from a parent who has lost a child to a foodborne illness. a news story about another outbreak. an event at la costa heights elementary school, where redheaded lauren was in first grade and where a memorial garden was planted in her honor.fixing food safety meant putting her career as a fashion designer on hold and flying 10 times to washington dc to testify. it meant going to sacramento to speak a halfdozen times. shes not fond of the legislative process. asked what shes proudest of in making her way through all that, she said, “that i didnt give up.” 文章大意：roni austin六岁的女儿因为食品问题而丧生，这激起了一位母亲的斗志。从此，roni austin就开始了为食品安全而奔波的道路。71what does the underlined word “e. coli” in paragraph 1 refer to?a. a fastfood restaurant. b. a special person.c. a reportable illness.d. a state of america.72the third paragraph is mainly about_.a. the great changes in food inspectionb. austins efforts to achieve food safetyc. the standards and practices of safe food d. the federal plan to monitor food production73it can be inferred from paragraph 4 that_.a. food safety problems are very seriousb. roni austin was forced to do the jobc. more people are concerned about food safetyd. roni austin donated to a memorial garden74which of the following is true of roni austin?a. she regretted for what she had done.b. she used to be a fashion teacher.c. she founded the organization stop on her own.d. she is the representative of foodsafety reform.75what can be the best title for the text?a. mothers way of making food safe.b. painful reminders, constant efforts.c. mothers pride in public services.d. handling sorry, celebrating life.71答案：c推理判断题。由划线前内容可知，lauren吃了一个汉堡，然后病了被送往医院，最后死了。划线后讲到它的爆发也导致了另外三名儿童死亡，七百多人得病。由此可推断划线部分指的是一种病。72答案：b主旨大意题。纵观该段，主要讲的是lauren的母亲为食品安全而做的各种努力。如：她克服了对支持快餐业务的政客的恐惧；建议设立食物的最低烹调温度等。73答案：a推理判断题。由第四段内容可推知，食品安全形势依然很严峻。其他选项都不对。74答案：d推理判断题。由最后一段可知，她没有后悔，因为她对自己没有放弃感到骄傲，所以a项错误；由最后一段可知，她过去是一名时装设计师，而不是时装老师，所以b项错误；由第二段第三句话“she cofounded a nonprofit group, safe tables our priority(stop).”可知，她和别人共同创立了stop组织，所以c项错误；由全文可知，她就是食品安全的卫士，是食品改革的代表。75答案：a主旨大意题。由文章大意可知，本文主要讲述一位母亲为食品安全而奔波的努力过程，所以a项正确。（201*福建卷）b for five days,edmontons
