2014高考英语阅读理解精英定时练习题（3）及答案阅读理解 -a 篇there are hundreds of expressions of words using “hand” in the english language. let us examine some of the expressions that use “hand”.we will get a hand in this way. “to get a hand in” is to begin a job, to begin to know something about it. when we learn completely, we will be able to do it hands down. if we do the job well, we may end up with the upper hand. on the other hand, if the situation gets out of hand, it is out of control.we must consider another way of expressing phrase- to hand it to someone. for example, i must hand it to you for understanding what we have discussed this far. you can also lend a hand to someone but without really giving up your hand. you lend a hand when you help someone. if someone is kind enough to lend us a hand then we surely do not want to bite the hand that feeds us. we do not want to repay his kindness by treating him badly.now, we have a free hand to continue examining other “hand” expressions. it means you are free to act without getting permission from someone else.maybe you can find a friend who wants to take a hand in our project. it would have to be someone who was interested in these expressions. your friend may want to work hand in glove with us. that is good because that means he wants to work as closely with us as a glove covers the hand. of course, there is a danger that he may look at our project and decide to take it in hand. that means he wants to tale it over. if that happens, we may throw up our hands because the situation seams hopeless. in fact, we may decide that it is time for us to end this project to wash our hands of “ hand” expressions.46we are ready to do a certain job, we may say; lets _. a. get out of hand b. get a hand in c. lend a hand d. take a hand

still be reading newspapers. not those newspapers are a necessity. even now some people get most of the news from the television or have the radio switched on in the background or in the car. many buy a paper only on saturday or sunday. but for most people a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.the basic british character wont change, and one of the characteristics of the british is that we dont much like talking to each other when we get up. so what better way is there to keep yourself thinking in the morning than to wrap yourself in a newspaper?over the past couple of centuries, human beings have developed a close relationship with the newspaper. it has become as natural as breathing or enjoying the sun. and it is not just the british who love newspapers. on suburban trains in calcutta, for instance, just one person in the whole car will buy a newspaper and read aloud the best bits to his fellow passengers, much to everybodys enjoyment.the nature of what is news may change. what essentially (本质上) makes news is what affects our lives and the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. i think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. its already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering. in the future i think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do, whether its love or depression. we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.its quite possible that in the next century newspaper will be transmitted electronically from the national equivalents of fleet street (伦敦的舰队街，以报馆集中而著称) and printed out in our own homes. in fact, im pretty sure that that is how it will happen in future. youll be probably selecting from a menu, making up your own bespoke newspaper by picking out the things you want to read and say. you might even have an intelligent screening device (装置) to do the job for you.i think people have got it wrong when they talk about the competition between the different media. they actually have a relationship, feeding off each other. it was once predicted that television would kill off newspapers, which hasnt happened. what is read on the printed page is more enduring (持久的) than pictures on a flickering screen or sound lost in the sky. and as for the internet, its never really satisfying to read something just on a screen. 50. the author of the passage is most probably from _. a. russia b. india c. britain d. america51. according to the passage, the future of newspapers _. a. will be mainly connected with scientific research b. will report more important political activities c. will directly cover more on scientific research d. will build a bridge between different people 52. the underlined part “bespoke newspaper” of the passage probably refers to _.a. a newspaper which dares to report the truth b. a newspaper edited to ones own interestc. a newspaper edited and published for the public d. a newspaper which only covers the life of family members53. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. it was centuries ago that newspapers came into being .b. televisions have taken the place of newspapers .c. the internet will gradually take the place of newspapers.d. the nature of news may remain the same over generations.参考答案 50-53 、ccbain england, people often talk about the weather because they can experience (经历) four seasons in one day. in the morning the weather
