2014高考英语阅读理解精英训练二轮精品题（25）及答案阅读理解seen from space the earth is covered with a blue mantle. it is a planet on which the continents(洲，大陆) are dwarfed (相形见绌) by the ocean surrounding them and the vastness of the marine (海洋的) area. an astonishing 80 percent of all life on earth is to be found hidden beneath the waves and this vast global ocean drives the natural forces which keep life on our planet. the ocean provides necessary sources of protein, energy, minerals and other products and the rolling of the sea across the planet creates over half our oxygen, drives weather systems and natural flows of energy and nutrients around the world, transports water masses many times greater than all the rivers on land combined and keeps the earth suitable for living things to survive. without the global ocean there would be no life on earth. it is seriously worrying, then, that we are damaging the ocean on a level that is unimaginable to most people. we now know that human activity can have a serious influence on the vital forces of our planet. we have fundamentally changed our global climate and are just beginning to understand the consequences of that. as yet largely unseen, but just as serious, are the influences we are having on the ocean. a healthy ocean has diverse ecosystems and strong and healthy habitats. the actual state of our ocean is a far cry from this natural state. a lot of pressure is being put directly and indirectly on ocean ecosystems by human activities.consequently ecosystems are breaking down as marine species are in danger of dying out and ocean habitats are being destroyed. with the decrease in their diversity, ocean ecosystems are losing their natural way of recovery. we need to defend the ocean now more than ever, because climate change is having a potentially disastrous impact on the marine world.1、. what can we learn from paragraph 2? a. what the ocean looks like. b. what the ocean is made up of. c. what live in the ocean. d. what functions the ocean has.2、. according to the text, the ocean directly provides people with _. a. water forming rivers b. comfortable habitats c. all the natural forces they need d. driving forces for energy and nutrients3、. it is not realized by many people that we have _. a. done great harm to the ocean b. benefited greatly from the ocean c. fundamentally changed our global climate d. begun to suffer the consequences of pollution4、. the best title for this text would be _. a. protecting our planet b. defending our ocean c. getting to know our planet d. make good use of our ocean （参考答案ddab）

such shops deal mostly in furniture, sometimes in books, sometimes in ornaments and household goods, sometimes even in clothes.the furniture may often be “antique”, and it may well have changed hands many times. it may also be very valuable, although the most valuable piece will usually go to the london salerooms, where one piece might well be sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds. as you look around these shops and see the polished wood of chests and tables, you cannot help thinking of those long-dead hands which polished that wood, of those now-closed eyes which once looked at these pieces with love.the books, too, may be antique and very precious; some may be rare first printings. often when someone dies or has to move house, his books may all be sold, so that sometimes you may find whole libraries in one shop. on the border between england and wales, there is a town which has become a huge bookshop as well. even the cinema and castle have been taken over, and now books have replaced sheep as the towns main trade. there are also much more humble shops, sometimes simply called “junk shops”, where you can buy small household pieces very cheaply. sometimes the profits from these shops go to charity. even these pieces, though, can make you feel sad; you think of those people who once treasured them, but who have moved on, to another country or to death.although the british do not worship their ancestors, they do treasure the past and the things of the past. this is true of houses as well. these days no one knocks them down; they are restored until they are often better than new. in britain, people do not buy something just because it is new. old things are treasured for their proven worth; new things have to prove themselves before they are accepted.57books found in second-hand book shops may _.abe copies of the earliest printing bbe on sale for the first timecnever be worth very much dnever be rare58second-hand goods sometimes fill you with sadness because_.athey are too expensive for average buyers bthey remind you of the original ownercthey are now neglected dthey are sold for charity59which of the following word can best take the place of the word “antique” in the second paragraph?ainvention bpossession cmaterial drelic 60according to the passage, the british people_.ado not respect old things because they are not fashionableblike to build
