2014高考英语阅读理解抓分训练题（34）及答案阅读理解-a 篇 mistakes are a part of life. to err is human. failure is also a part of life, not the end of life. be happy facing lifes challenges. when you make the effort to be happy and to improve your life, you are actually rewarded along the way. life is like a game and maybe you can award(奖励) points for every effort that has been a success for you. try it. add ten points for every achievement. and when you have reached 50 points, just yell, “ hey, ive won!” and give yourself a reward. if you happen to have missed your points for whatever reason, tell yourself, “well, i tried!” which is better than not trying at all. dont let it be said you didnt try. what is it that you want to make yourself happy? actually happiness means different things to different people. for example, an athlete will be happy winning his first race. for a new mother happiness would be seeing her babys first steps. happiness for a poor person would mean having a meal just for today. so happiness for you is really something simple that you want for yourself. it really doesnt have to be big. as a matter of fact you should always have realistic expectations. make the best out of every

he worked in his gardenin all the countryside there was no garden so lovely as hisall sorts of flowers grew there, blooming in their proper order as the months went by, one flower taking another flowers place, so that there were always beautiful things to see, and pleasant odors to smell hans had many friends, the most devoted being the millerso devoted was the rich miller to hans that hed never go by his garden without plucking a large bunch of flowers or a handful of sweet herbs, or filling his pockets with fruitsthe miller used to talk about noble ideas, and hans nodded and smiled, feeling proud of having such a friend the neighbors thought it strange that the rich miller never gave hans anything in return, though he had hundreds of sacks of flour, many cows and sheep, but hans never troubled his head about these, and nothing gave him greater pleasure than to listen to all the wonderful things about the unselfishness of true friendship in spring, summer, and autumn hans was very happy, but when winter came, and he had no fruit or flowers to sell, he suffered from cold and hungerthough extremely lonely, the miller never came to see him then “theres no good in going to see hans while the snow lasts” the miller said to his wife, “when people are in trouble they shouldnt be botheredso ill wait till the spring comes when hes happy to give me flowers” “youre certainly very thoughtful,” answered his wife, “its quite a treat to hear you talk about friendship” “couldnt we ask hans up here?” said their son“ill give him half my meal, and show him my white rabbits” “how silly you are!” cried the miller“i really dont know whats the use of sending you to schoolif hans came up here, and saw our warm fire, our good supper, and our red wine, he might get envious, and envy is a most terrible thing, and would spoil anybodys naturei am his best friend, and ill always watch over him, and see that hes not led into any temptationbesides, if hans came here, he might ask me for some flourflour is one thing, and friendship is another, and they shouldnt be confusedthe words are spelt differently, and mean quite different thingseverybody can see that” he looked seriously at his son, who felt so ashamed that he hung his head down, and grew quite scared, and began to cry into his tea spring coming, the miller went down to see hansagain he talked about friendship“hans, friendship never forgetsim afraid you dont understand the poetry of lifesee, how lovely your roses are!” hans said he wanted to sell them in the market to buy back his things which were sold during the hard time of the winter “ill give you many good thingsi think being generous is the base of friendship” said the miller“and now, as ill give you many good things, im sure youd like to give me some flowers in returnheres the basket, and fill it quite full” poor hans was afraid to say anythinghe ran and plucked all his pretty roses, and filled the millers basket, imagining the many good things promised by the miller the next day he heard the miller calling: “hans, would you mind carrying this sack of flour for me to market?” “im sorry, but i am really very busy today” “well,” said the miller, “considering that im going to give you my things, its rather unfriendly of you to refuseupon my word, you mustnt mind my speaking quite plainly to you” poor hans was driven by his friendship theory to work hard for his best friend, leaving his garden dry and wasted one evening hans was sitting by fire when the miller came “hans,” cried the miller, “my little boy has fallen off a ladder and hurt himself, and im going for the doctorbut he lives so far away, and its such a bad windy nightit has just occurred to me that you can go instead of meyou know im going to give you my good

higher education reform? its too early to answer.but its presence is challenging the ministry of education.even without the approval of the ministry it seems that the school is determined to move forward and enroll 50 students, so-called child prodigies(奇才), to begin classes on march l, 2011.on graduating in 2015, these students will receive a diploma unauthorized by the ministry of education-unlike the students of their age from the state-run universities.the school is committed to modeling itself on hong kong university of science and technology, but if the government will not approve the school, the situation could cause a lot of trouble for those 50 students if they want to do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions.other schools could turn their applications down for their unauthorized diplomas.the difficulties, however, have not frightened students and their parents away.on dec.18, 2010 more than 1,000 students and their parents visited nanfang university of science and technology for interviews.private investment marks the school out from other higher learning institutions in the nation.not a penny comes from the government. so the government will have no voice in how the school will be run.the ministry of education has published a comprehensive plan for education reform and development between 2011 and 2020.the goal is to make chinas higher education internationally competitive.to accomplish this goal, the government should have the courage to let the educators who have big ideas try them out.the ministry should have

of water in the atmosphere change. we can see and feel water coming from the atmosphere when we have rain. but the water must somehow get back to the atmosphere. meteorologists call this the water cycle. there are many stages in the water cycle. rain falls when water vapour in clouds condenses(凝结). drops of water form and fall to the ground. the water soaks into the ground and feeds streams and rivers. a lot of rain falls into the sea. the heat of the sun evaporates some of the water in the ground and in the rivers, lakes, and the sea. it changes the liquid water into water vapour. the vapour rises onto the air. water vapour is normally invisible. on a very damp or humid day, however, you can sometimes see water vapour rising from a puddle(水坑) or pond in a mist(薄雾) above the water. water vapour also gets into the air from living things. trees and other plants take in water through their roots and give off water vapour from their leaves. people and land animals drink water and breathe out water vapour. in all these ways the water returns to the air. there it gathers to form clouds and condenses to form rain. the rain falls to earth, and the cycle starts again. it continues even if snow or hail(冰雹) fall instead because both eventually melt to form water. the amount of water vapour in the air depends on the temperature. the air is more moist(潮湿) in the tropics(热带) than in the cold polar regions.51. what is the main idea of the passage?a. water cycle. b. water vapour. c. how rain forms. d. water, vapour, rain.52. how many ways of the water returning to the air are discussed in the text?a. two. b. three. c. four. d. five.53. whether water vapour can be seen or not depends on _. a. how much water is evaporated b. how good your eyes arec. in which way water is evaporated d. climate or weather54. from the passage we get to know _. a. there is more water vapour in the air in the tropics than in cold polar regions b. there is more water vapour in the air in cold polar region than in the tropics c. it gets more rain in the tropics than in cold polar regions because there is less vapour d. the amount of water vapour in the air depends on how often it rains
