2014高考英语完形填空巩固练习精品题（19）及答案阅读理解fallingwater has provided enjoyment to many people over the yearsfirst as a weekend retreat for the kaufmann family and their friends，and now as an unusual experience for visitors from near and far.when frank lloyd wright came to the site，he appreciated the powerful sound of the falls，the beauty of the young forest，and the amazing rocks.he understood that people were creatures of nature；therefore，an architecture which conformed to nature would conform to what was basic in people.for example，people inside fallingwater are protected as in a deep cave，but their attention is always directed toward the outside by low ceilings.the house hardly has a main entrance；there are many ways in and out，just like in nature while the materials of the structure mix with the coloring of rocks and trees.fallingwater opened a new chapter in american architecture，and is perhaps considered wrights greatest work.this is architecture that attracts our imagination，and allows us to see space and habitation in ways that seem new.in 1936，even before it was finished，knowledgeable people talked about this new work of frank lloyd wright.later people thought that wright had created a masterwork that appealed not only to professionals but to the public generally.fallingwater was not much like the earlier architecture that had made wright famous；it was just like any popular “dream house”yet now that fallingwater has been tested by halfacentury of the widest exposure，one can say that it marks a high point in wrights great career，in american architecture，in the architecture of this century，and possibly in all architecture.60for what purpose was fallingwater designed at the beginning?ato attract people near and far to visit it.bto provide a place for a rich family to spend their holidays.cto show frank lloyd wrights great talent.dto make the place wellknown to others.61according to the passage，the most impressive feature of fallingwater is that _.ait is designed as part of nature bit can protect people inside perfectlycit is designed by a famous architect dit lies in a manmade environment62from the passage，we know that _.afrank lloyd wright didnt understand nature very wellbfallingwater is a great house with no entrance in or outcfallingwater can inspire visitors imaginationdfallingwater has very wide caves and high ceilings inside63which of the following statements is true according to the passage?afallingwater stands on the highest position of america.bfallingwater was built about 50 years ago.cthere are many rocks and trees in the caves.dhuman habitations are always in line with nature.60b根据第一段中的“.first as a weekend retreat for the kaufmann family and their friends.”可知，答案为b项。61a根据第二段第二句“he understood that people were creatures of nature；therefore，an architecture which conformed to nature would conform to what was basic in people.”可知a项正确。62c根据第三段第二句“this is architecture that attracts our imagination，and allows us to see space and habitation in ways that seem new.”可知fallingwater能激发人的想象，是空间和住所完美结合的典范，故c项正确。63b根据最后一段中的“yet now that fallingwater has been tested by halfacentury of the widest exposure.”可知，该建筑物已经历了半个世纪的风雨，故b项正确。第三部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(a、b、c和d)中，选出最佳选项。a(2012北京西城期末)traffic managementtraffic lights are key tools for regulating traffic flow.they are not，however，perfect.drivers complain the traffic jams that would happen at unmanaged crossings for a pattern of stopgo movement that can still be annoying，and which burns more fuel than a smooth passage.creating such a smooth passage means adjusting a vehicles speed so that it always arrives at the lights when they are green.that is theoretically possible，but practically hard.roadside signs wired to traffic lights can help get the message across a couple hundred metres from a crossing，but such signs are expensive，and are not widespread.margaret martonosi and emmanouil koukoumidis at princeton university，and lishiuan peh at the massachusetts institute of technology，however，have an idea that could make the process cheaper and more effective.instead of a hardwired network of signs，they propose to use mobile phone applications.for a driver to benefit，he must load the teams software，named signalguru，into his phone and then put it on a special thing attached to the inside of his cars windscreen，with the camera lens(镜头)pointing forward.signalguru is designed to detect traffic lights and track their status as red，yellow or green.it broadcasts this information to other phones in the area that are fitted with the same software，andif there are enough of themthe phones thus each know the status of most of the lights around town.using this information，signalguru is able to calculate the trafficlight schedule for the area and suggest the speed at which a driver should travel in order to avoid red lights.tests in cambridge，massachusetts，where five drivers were asked to follow the same route for three hours，and in singapore，where eight drivers were asked to follow one of two routes for 30 minutes，revealed that signalguru was capable of predicting trafficlight activity with an accuracy of 98.2% and 96.3% respectively，in the two cities.this was particularly impressive because in cambridge the lights shifted，roughly halfway through the test，from their unbusy schedule to their afternoontraffic schedule，while in singapore lights are adaptive，using detectors fixed under the road to determine how much traffic is present and thus when a signal should change.in neither case was signalguru fooled.fuel consumption fell，tooby about 20%.signalguru thus reduces both annoyance and fuel use，and makes going back and forth to work a slightly less horrible experience.56roadside signs wired to traffic lights are not the best way to create a smooth passage because _.athey are expensive and easily breakbthey are too costly and not widely usedcthey are complex and confusing to driversdthey are theoretically possible but practically useless57signalguru is an application used on _.aa camera ba computerca mobile phone da gps system in ones car58with the information it collects and processes，signalguru is able to _.ahelp drivers avoid traffic accidents bhelp drivers to adjust their speedcchange the traffic lights in advance dsend information to all cell phones59the tests in cambridge and signapore were impressive because signalguru _.aproved to be unreliable boperated at a high speedcfunctioned rather stably dunderstood drivers schedules56b根据文章第二段第三句中的“.but such signs are expensive，and are not widespread.”可知应选b项。57c根据第三段第一句中的“for a driver to benefit，he must load the teams software，named signalguru，into his phone.”可知，signalguru是一种安装在手机里的应用软件，故选c项。58b根据第三段的最后一句“using this information，signalguru is able to calculate the trafficlight schedule for the area and suggest the speed at which a driver should travel in order to avoid red lights.”可知，signalguru可以帮助司机调整车速，避免等红灯。59c根据第四段中的“this was particularly impressive because in cambridge.in neither case was signalguru fooled.”可知，在这两个试验中，虽然各有干扰因素，但是signalguru运作相当稳定，并未受到“愚弄”，因此选c项。【东北三省2013三模】b.in the winter months the temperature in most of canada usually stays below 0. however, in some parts of canada, such as

are becoming their own doctors，by going online to diagnose their symptoms，order home health tests or medical devices，or even selftreat their illnesses with drugs from internet pharmacies(药店)some avoid doctors because of the high cost of medical care，especially if they lack health insurance.or they may stay because they find it embarrassing to discuss their weight，alcohol consumption or couch potato habits.patients may also fear what they might learn about their health，or they distrust physicians because of negative experiences in the past.but playing doctor can also be a deadly game.every day，more than six million americans turn to the internet for medical answersmost of them arent nearly skeptical enough of what they find.a 2002 survey by the pew internet & american life project found that 72 percent of those surveyed believe all or most of what they read on health websites.they shouldnt.look up “headache”，and the chances of finding reliable and complete information，free from a motivation for commercial gain，are only one in ten，reports an april 2005 brown medical school study.of the 169 websites the researchers rated，only 16 scored as “high quality”recent studies found faulty facts about all sorts of other disorders，causing one research team to warn that a large amount of incomplete，inaccurate and even dangerous information exists on the internet.the problem is that most people dont know the safe way to surf the web.“they use a search engine like google，get 18 trillion choices and start clicking.but thats risky.because almost anybody can put up a site that looks authoritative(权威的)，its hard to know whether what youre reading is reasonable or not，” says dr.sarah bass from the national cancer institute.60according to the text，an increasing number of americans _.aare suffering from mental disorders bturn to internet for helpclike to play deadly games with doctors dare skeptical about surfing medical websites61according to the study of brown medical

internet.60b由全文第一句“increasingly，americans are becoming their own doctors，by going online to diagnose their symptoms.”可知答案为b项。61c由第二段中的“of the 169 websites the researchers rated，only 16 scored as high quality”可知，169家保健网站，只有16家安全可靠，即占约1/10。故答案为c项。62d文章首先谈到越来越多的美国人生病不再去看医生，而通过上网买药治病，自己当医生；下文又讲到网上的信息并不安全可靠，许多网站存在不完整、不准确，甚至是危险的信息。故作者认为自己诊治自己的做法是危险的。63d由最后一段内容尤其是第一句可知dr.sarah
