2014高考英语阅读理解全程基础训练（4）及答案【2014陕西省商南县高级中学高三上二模】bits good to make mistakes, and here is why.first of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. its always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. if you never try anything new, how can you improve? how can you expand? the simple answer is “you cant”. look around you. with very few exceptions (例外), either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new. another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. consider this: edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. when asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadnt failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didnt work. finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. why? because when all is said and done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeeded. every time you make a mistake you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer. but this all doesnt mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake. quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesnt work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again. we all have limited resources in the form of time and money so dont blow them all on one approach to a problem. realize that it probably wont be perfect the first time and allocate (分配) these resources appropriately so you can learn, make corrections, and try it again. only by accepting and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career. there is an old saying that goes, “if youre not making mistakes, youre not trying hard enough.” so go forth and make mistakes. and learn. and grow. and prosper(成功).50. from the second paragraph, we can conclude that _. a. mistakes are better than not trying b. we are afraid of trying new things c. its common for people to make mistakes d. mistakes are unnecessary for developmen51. the underlined word “eliminate” means _. a. avoid b. solve c. accept d. dismiss52. according to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is _. a. avoiding making the same mistakes b. accepting the punishment willingly c. taking consequences into account d. trying things out one by one53. the article is mainly about _. a. how to deal with mistakes b. what benefits mistakes bring c. how to achieve success d. how to make use of your mistakes54. what would the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake? a. never mind, i can always try again. b. id better stay out of trouble. c. great! now i can learn something. d. look at this mess. anyone would be upset. 【参考答案】50-54 adcbc阅读理解-e(2013江西，d)one might expect that the evergrowing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holidaymakers. indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the longterm future of the holiday industry. every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere. and every month another rockbound pacific island is advertised as the last paradise (天堂) on earth. however, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. in those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of seaside holidays, overcrowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. in recent years, nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. in fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holidaymakers traveling through the forest land. ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants.not only can the environment of a country suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. the people as well rapidly feel its effects. farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. the onetime farmer is now the servant of some multinational organization; he is no longer his own master. once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. no doubt he wonders whether he wasnt happier in his village working his own land.thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. the protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies. at the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.the way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. increased understanding in planning worldwide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. if not, in a few years time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。客观地说明旅游业造成的问题及其旅游业的发展方向。16what does the author indicate in the last sentence of paragraph 1?athe pacific island is a paradise.bthe pacific island is worth visiting.cthe advertisement is not convincing.dthe advertisement is not impressive.答案：c推理判断题。第一段描述旅游公司对景点“天堂”美丽的广告宣传，但是后文however一词的转折意味标明作者对此广告的不信任，故选c。17the example of nepal is used to suggest _.aits natural resources are untouchedbits forests are exploited for farmlandcit develops well in health and educationd.it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists答案：d细节理解题。第三段首先点明旅游业经验少的国家遭受损失最大这一观点。然后以尼泊尔这个国家例证。考生容易误选b，而文中提到的是，为了给旅游行走者提供路线，一些宝贵的树木被砍伐。18what can we learn about the farmers from paragraph 4?athey are happy to work their own lands.bthey have to please the tourists for a living.cthey have to struggle for their independence.dthey are proud of working in multinational organizations.答案：b细节理解题。根据第四段和farmer做定位。the onetime farmer is. 之后有一句话once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited.“曾经承受痛苦的是他的背脊，而现在是他被开发出来的微笑。”根据感情色彩首先排除a、d。文章只提及不再是主人，c选项追求独立是过分推断。因此选b。19which of the following determines the future of tourism?athe number of tourists.bthe improvement of services.cthe promotion of new products.dthe management of tourism.答案：d细节理解题。题中关键词为determines the future of tourism，是文中尾段首句decide its fate的同义改写。根据整句翻译，决定命运的是the way tourism is handled中的handled与选项中的management对应，因此选d。20the authors attitude towards the development of the tourist industry is _.aoptimisticbdoubtfulcobjectivednegative答案：c主旨大意题(作者态度)。通读全文可知，作者提出旅游业造成的问题，进而提到各旅游公司的觉醒，特别是尾段最后两句increased understanding in planning worldwide. if not.作者既表明了对旅游业现状的信心，又表明了对其未来的担忧。所以作者以客观的态度说事，不能单方面地选择乐观、怀疑或消极。【2014陕西省商南县高级中学高三上二模】cthe booking notes of the play “the age of innocence”.price: $10bookingthere are four easy ways to book seats for performance:-in personthe box office is open from money to saturday, 10 a.m.-8 p.m.-by telephonering 01324976 to reserve your tickets or to pay by credit card (visa, master card and amex accepted)。-on-line/onlinesimply complete the booking form and return it to global theatre box office.-online/on-linecomplete the on-line booking form at www. satanfiedtheatre. com.discountsaver: $2 off any seat booked any time in advance for performances from monday to thursday. savers are available for children up to 16 years old, those over 60 and full-time students.supersavers: half-price seats are available for people with disabilities and one companion. it is advisable to book in advance. there is a maximum of eight wheelchair spaces available and one wheelchair space will be held until an hour before the show.standby: best available seats are on sale for $6 from one hour before the performance for people eligible for saver and supersaver discounts and thirty minutes before for all other customers.group booking: there is a ten percent discount for parties of twelve or more.school: school parties of ten or more can book $6 standby tickets in advance and will get every tenth ticket free.please note: we are unable to exchange tickets for refund money unless a performance is cancelled due to unpredicted circumstances.55. if you want to book a ticket, you cannot_.a. go to the box office on sundays b. use the internetc. ring the booking number and pay the tickets by credit cardd. complete a booking form and post it to the box office56. if you make a group booking for a group of 14 adults, how much should you pay? a. $120 b. $126 c. $140 d. $15057. what kind of tickets are the cheapest?a. the standby tickets.b. the standby tickets for school parties of ten or more.c. the ticket for saver discount.d. the tickets for group booking.【参考答案】55-57 abb (二)a(2013全国，a)doctors are known to be terrible pilots. they dont listen because they already know it all. i was lucky: i became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before i graduated from medical school. i didnt realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. i loved flying. as i flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather, i learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or crm, a new idea to make flying safer. it means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.i first read about crm in 1980. not long after that, an attending doctor and i were flying in bad weather. the controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. the attending doctor was flying; i was safety pilot. he was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. he was a better pilotand my bossso it felt unusual to speak up. but i had to: our lives were in danger. i put aside my uneasiness and said, “we need to put the landing gear down now！” that was my first real lesson in the power of crm, and ive used it in the operating room ever since.crm requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. it further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesnt overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. so when im in the operating room, i ask for ideas and help from others. sometimes theyre not willing to speak up. but i hope that if
