2014高考英语阅读理解精英定时系列练习题（2）及答案【齐齐哈尔市实验中学2013高三英语综合训练（6）】ciceland has the highest birth rate in europe, the highest divorce rate, and the highest percentage of women working outside the home. such statistics are often evidence of a miserable, chaotic(混乱的) society, with loads of children, broken homes and absent mothers. but iceland is the exception-its citizens are the happiest in the world. perhaps the countrys geographic location contributes to icelanders happiness. located in the middle of the north atlantic, with greenland as its nearest neighbor, iceland is free from the taboos(禁忌) that cause so much trouble elsewhere. for instance, people who divorce are not looked down upon by society. icelanders are offsprings (后代) of the vikings, a north european people who invaded european coasts from the 8th through the 10th century. this tradition of getting into the world lives on in modern-day iceland. practically all icelanders have studied or worked abroad, and most speak english. perhaps as a result, icelands economic policies blend the best of those from europe with the us to create its own welfare system. “many of us have lived in the us, and studied there,” said the icelandic prime minister geir haarde. “we have both taken from them and found that naturally we share the can-do attitude-that if you work hard, anything can be done.”indeed, the country is rich in writers, painters, film makers and musicians. theres sigur ros, a post-rock band, and also a national symphony orchestra that plays to the highest standards of all over the world. half the population appears to have written a book. “iceland has harsh(恶劣的) nature, with its bitter ever-changing weather,” said haraldur jonson, a painter, sculptor and video and performance artist. “we cannot escape it. so we find ways _. we have to have a rich and internal life to fill the empty spaces.” 64. it is commonly believed that high birth rate and divorce rate will bring about _.a. social problems b. happinessc. a unique welfare system d. modern way of life 65. which of the following is not mentioned as the reason for icelanders happiness?a. geographic location b.a rich internal life c. national pride d.freedom from taboos66. the most suitable phrase to fill in the blank in the last paragraph is _.a. to get rid of it b. to have it changed c. to get away from it d. to live with it【参考答案】64-66 acd 链接2 2010全国二卷thousands of people living in the chinese capital will celebrate the start of the chinese new year by heading for the ski resorts(滑雪场).never mind that beijings dry weather seldom produces now. it is cold enough in winter for snow-making machines to make a covering for the hills north to the capital. and the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this new craze(热潮).since beijings first ski resort was opened ten years ago, the sport has enjoyed an astonishing increase. there are now more than a dozen resorts. clothes markets in the city have added bright colored ski suits to their winter collections. mr.wei, a manager of a newly-opened ski resort in beijing, sees the growth of an industry that could soon lead chinese to head for the ski resorts of europe. in recent years ski resorts offering natural snow have opened in china. but many are in faraway areas of the country and cant really match the equipment and services of some ski resorts in europe.beijings skiing craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private cars. this has led to the growth of a leisure industry in the capitals suburbs, which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people. according to mr. wei, about 40 of the visitors to his resort some in their own cars. the rest are bused in by schools, businesses or government offices.the problem is making money. starting ski resort requires quite a lot of money: hiring land from the local government, preparing the hills, buying snow machines ,making sure there are enough water and electricity to run them, and buying ski equipment for hiring out to customers. the ski resort where mr.wei works cost nearly $4m to set up. and, as so often in china when someone comes up with a good idea, many others rush in and price wars break out. beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world, though with most people rather new to the sport, expecting a few more doing the same job.50.what does this text mainly talk about?aconvenience for skiers brought about by private carsbskiing as a new way of enjoying ones spare timecthings to be considered when starting a ski resortda

commercial time by television companies. many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.an attraction of sport programs for the major u.s. media companies is that events are often held on saturday and sunday afternoons the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. this means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. the people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. they also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. these sports attract few viewers, and the ratings (收视率) are unusually low. however, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. it is made up of people from the highest income groups in the united states, including many lawyers and business managers, this is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computers, and holiday trips. this is also why the networks continue to carry there programs regardless of low ratings. advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computers. with such viewers, these programs dont need high ratings to stay on the air.41. television

are several advantages in planting trees: they firm the soil, soak up （吸收，吸干）extra water and take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. however, it now turns out that planting trees could add to global warming. we all know that tree roots do a great job of keeping soil firmly on the ground and out of the winds power. the problem is that some of the dust clouds play an important part in soaking up carbon dioxide. huge dust storms blow out over the oceans from dry parts of north africa and central asia. tons of dust are lifted and left as thin film（薄膜） over the ocean surface. dust from china is carried east and left in the pacific ocean. if a tree-planting program there is successful and the dust supply reduced, the net result may be that less carbon dioxide gets locked away in the ocean. andy, an environmental scientist has spent the past few years studying dust and says his work shows clearly the complexity of the system. for this reason the need is to focus on cutting carbon dioxide giving off rather than doing anything else. robert, an american scientist, has shown that when native grassland areas are invaded by trees, carbon is lost from the soil. “we are studying why the soil carbon disappears, but one theory is that trees do a lot more of their growing above ground compared to grass, so less carbon goes directly into the soil from trees.” in wet areas of the world, the gain from trees absorbing carbon dioxide above ground seems to be outweighed by the loss of carbon from soil below g
