2014高考英语阅读理解基础精品训练题（109）及答案阅读理解-（d）from good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. a good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity. reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. it increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.with a good book in our hands we need never be lonely. whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. in the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. the people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. our human friends sometimes may bore us, but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. by turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. when human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement. one of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. to travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way; no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train to transport us; no passport to enter the land of our hearts desire. through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. we can climb lofty mountains, brave the perils of an antarctic winter, or cross the scorching sands of the desert, all without hardship. in books we may visit the studios of hollywood; we may mingle with the gay throngs of the paris boulevards; we may join the picturesque peasants in an alpine village or the kindly natives on a south sea island. indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking. the possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. the beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.16. why is it that we sometimes forget our surroundings and even our identity while reading?a. no one has come to disturb you. b. everything is so quiet and calm around you.c. the book you are

of evaporation (蒸发) of water from the oceans and lakes. sunlight also provides the energy used by green plants to make their own food. these green plants then provide food for all organisms (生物) on the earth. much of the energy that comes from the sun never reaches the earths surface. it is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere. of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere, 30% is reflected by clouds or the earths surface. the remaining 70% warms the surface of the planet, causes water to evaporate, and provides energy for the water cycle and weather. only a tiny part, approximately 0.023%, is actually used by green plants to produce food. many gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the earths surface back to the earth. these gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy from the sun to enter but prevent energy from leaving. they are therefore called greenhouse gases. when sunlight strikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected. the amount reflected depends on the surface. for example, youve probably noticed how bright snow is when sunlight falls on it. snow reflects most of the energy from the sun, so it contributes to the low temperatures of winter. dark-coloured surfaces, such as dark soil or forest, absorb more energy and help warm the surrounding air. 6. which of the following are forms of the suns energy? a. sunlight and its heat. b. evaporation and cycle of water. c. greenhouse gases and greenhouse glasses. d. white snow and dark forests. 7. according to the passage, the root cause for weather changes on the earth is _. a. the atmosphere surrounding the earth b. water from oceans and lakes c. energy from the sun d. greenhouse gases in the sky 8. only a small part of the suns energy reaches the earths surface because most of it is _. a. absorbed by the clouds in the lower atmosphere b. reflected by the gases in the upper atmosphere c. lost in the upper and lower atmosphere d. used to evaporate water from the oceans and lakes 9. greenhouse gases _ so that they warm the surface of the earth. a. help green plants to produce food b. reflect heat energy escaping from the earths surface back to the earth c. allow energy from the sun to enter the atmosphere d. prevent energy from the sun from leaving the atmosphere 10. we learn from the passage that _. a. all living things on the earth depend on the sun for their food b. a forest looks dark in winter because it absorbs solar energy c. only 0.023% of the energy from the sun is made use of on the earth d. greenhouse gases allow heat energy to escape from the earths surface【参考答案】b篇： accba 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a.b.c和d项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。aself-employed private physicians who charge a fee for each patient visit are the foundation of medical practice in the united states. most physicians have a contract relationship with one or more hospitals in the community. they send their patients to this hospital, which usually charges patients according to the number of days they stay and the facilities(operating room, tests, medicines that they use). some hospitals belong to a city, a state or, in the case of veterans hospitals, a federal government agency. others are operated by religious orders(教会) or other non-profit groups.some medical doctors are on salary. salaried physicians may work as hospital staff members, or residents, who are often still in training. they may teach in medical schools, be hired by corporations to care for their workers or work for the federal governments public health service.physicians are among the best paid professionals in the united states. in the 1980s, it was not uncommon for medical doctors to earn incomes of more than $ 100 000 a year. specialists, particularly surgeons, might earn several times that amount. physicians list many reasons why they deserve to be so well rewarded for their work. one reason is the long and expensive preparation required to become a physician in the united states. most would be physicians first attend college for four years, which can cost nearly $ 20 000 a year at one of the best private institutions. prospective physicians then attend medical school for four years. tuition alone can exceed $ 10 000 a year. by the time they have obtained their medical degrees, many young physicians are deeply in debt. they still face three to five years of residency(实习阶段) in a hospital, the first year as an apprentice physician. the hours are long and the pay is relatively low.setting up a medical practice is expensive, too. sometimes several physicians will decide to establish a group practice, so they can share the expense of maintaining an office and buying equipment. these physicians also take care of each others patients in emergencies.physicians work long hours and must accept a great deal of responsibility. many medical procedures, even quite routine ones, involve risk. it is understandable that physicians want to be well rewarded for making decisions which can mean the difference between life and death.1. according to the passage, it is very unlikely that an american hospital is owned by _. a. a churchb. a corporationc. a cityd. a state2. the expenses for becoming a doctor are spent on _.a. schooling and retrainingb. practice in a hospitalc. facilities he
