2014高考英语阅读理解限时训练精品题（19）及答案c22013湖南卷 in my living room, there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to “bloom (开花) where you are planted.” it reminds me of dorothy. i got to know dorothy in the early 1980s, when i was teaching early childhood development through a program with union college in barbourville, kentucky. the job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.dorothy taught in a school in harlan county, kentucky, appalachian mountain area. to get to her school from the town of harlan, i followed a road winding around the mountain. in the eightmile journey, i crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, i found it depressing. the poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.from the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (忧郁) disappeared. upon arriving at dorothys classroom, i was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. the children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch). in case you dont know, poke greens are a weedtype plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. her enthusiasm never cooled down. when it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her child development associate certification, dorothy was ready. she came to the assessment and passed in all areas. afterward, she invited me to the oneandonly steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her ph.d. degree. after the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. she said it was a family heirloom (传家宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things.61“early childhood development” in paragraph 1 refers to _ a. a program directed by dorothy b. a course given by the author c. an activity held by the students d. an organization sponsored by union college62in the journey, the author was most disappointed at seeing _ a. the long

however poor you are, you have the right to education. d. wherever you are, you can accomplish your achievement.【要点综述】 dorothy在一所条件非常差的学校获得了很大的成功，这说明一个人获得成功与他在什么地方没有直接关系，最重要的是要付出努力。61. b细节理解题。

murderhas become a national epidemic（流行病）. every hour of every day about three americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past ten years. a drunken driver is usually referred to as one with 0.10-blood alcohol content or roughly three beer glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the american manly image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken killing has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially concerning young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant（忍受）.twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend（逆转潮流）in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. after new jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 1820-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink.though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests in many areas already, to a marked drop in accidents, some states are also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks. a bar in massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously drunk” and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.as the accidents continue to occur daily in every state, some americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years national prohibition（禁令）of alcohol that began in 1919, which president hoover called the “noble experiment”. they forgot that legal prohibition didnt stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption（腐败）and organized crime. as with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.57. what can be inferred from the fact of the traffic accidents in new jersey?a. young drivers were usually bad.b. the legal drinking age should be raised.c. some drivers didnt surprise the legal drinking age.d. drivers should not be allowed to drink.58. the underlined word “lenient” in the first paragraph means .a. mercifulb. cruelc. seriousd. determined59. as regards drunken driving, public opinion has changed because .a. judges are no longer lenientb. new laws are introduced in some statesc. drivers do not appreciate their manly imaged. the problem has attracted public attention60. which of the following statements best shows the writers opinion of drunken driving?a. it is difficult to solve this problem.b. it may lead to organized crime.c. the new laws can stop heavy drinkingd. there should be no bars to serve drinks.【答案】5760、bada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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。aice climb in londonthe huge ice skating area at somerset house has been drawing crowds each winter for years, but last november an
