2014高考英语阅读理解抓分练习(29)及答案 (湖北孝感第一次统考)recently,a professor of philosophy in the united states has written a book called money and the meaning of life.he has discovered that how we deal with money in our daytoday life has more meaning than we usually think.one of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week.from the way they spend their money,they can see what they really value in life.he says our relation with others often become clearly defined when money enters the picture.you might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends.but you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money.if he does,it brings something to the friendship that seems stronger than ever before.or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesnt.this person may say that he has a certain feeling,but if it is not carried out in the money world,there is something less real about it.since money is so important to us,we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important.the author interviewed some millionaires in researching for his book.question:what is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich,because you are a selfmade man?answer:the most surprising thing is how people give me so much respect.i am nothing.i dont know much.all i am is rich.people just have an idea of making more and more money,but what is it for?how much do i need for any given purposes in my life?in his book,the professor uncovered an important need in modern society:to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end.money plays an important role in the material world,but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.60according to the first paragraph,people have not realized _.ahow important money is in their daytoday lifebhow one spends money shows what is important to himcthat money is more important than their philosophy of lifedthat their understanding of life is more important than money61what can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview?ahe does not feel that he is welleducated.bhe does not consider himself to be very successful.che does not think that he is respected by others.dhe does not think that being rich deserves so much attention.62what does the american professor of philosophy want to explain in his book?amoney is a means. bmoney is everything.cmoney is an end. dmoney is important.63which of the following might the author disagree?amoney is important in modern society.bwealth will surely bring the owner happiness.cthe meaning of life doesnt completely lie in money.dhappiness is not necessarily the result of wealth.60b第一段最后说“从他们花钱的方式能看出他们在生活中真正重视什么”,由此判断选b项。61d第四段中被采访的那个百万富翁说:“人们这么尊敬我,这最让我感到惊讶。我什么都不是,我知道的也不多,我只是有钱。”从这句回答可以推断d项正确,他觉得自己不应该受到如此多的关注。62a最后一段说,该教授在书中向大家传达了一点:钱是一个工具,而不是人生的最终目标。由此判断选a项。63b文章最后一句作者说,在物质世界,钱的作用很重要,但是指望金钱给我们带来幸福的话就会错失人生的真谛。由此可知,“财富一定能给拥有者带来幸福”是错误的,不是作者的观点。 阅读理解a recent study, while showing a generally positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be“running out of control”. this idea is dangerous.science can be a force for evil as well as for good. its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. the decisions we make, personally or collectively,will determine the outcomes of science. but here is a real danger. science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference.and, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.some people go even further. they say that despite the moral and legal objections(反对) ,whatever is scientifically possible will be donesomewhere, sometime. they believe that science will get out of control in the end. this belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages them from making efforts to build a safer world.in our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. without a common understanding, the challenges of“controlling” science in this century will be really tough. take human cloning for example. despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact(影响)on traditional moral values,some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. the outcomes are hard to predict.therefore,discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. only through the united efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future.【文章大意概括】最近的一次调查表明了人们对于科学及其如何运用于人类世界的不同态度。尽管大多数人都持积极的态度,但有人认为科学发展及其应用最终可能危害人类。只有通过大家的努力,才能让科学最好地服务于人类。1what can we conclude from the recent study?a. people think highly of science.b. people hold mixed opinions about science.c. science is getting dangerously out of control.d. science is used for both good and bad purposes.【详解剖析】推理判断题。第一段已点明了全文的主要内容:尽管人们对科学一般都是积极的态度,但最近调查表明还存在着广泛的担忧。【最佳选项】b2according to the passage, what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?a. the development of science will hopelessly slow down.b. businesses will have even greater influence on science.c. the public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future.d. people will work more actively to put science under control.【详解剖析】事实细节题。从第三段最后两句可知答案为c。【最佳选项】c3the discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because_.a. scientists have failed to predict the outcomesb. the ties between different areas need strengtheningc. united efforts are necessary for the development of scienced. people need to work together to prevent the bad use of science【详解剖析】推理判断题。最后一段最后一句句意:只有通过充满希望的人们团结努力,我们才能安全地与错误地使用科学的现象作斗争,才能让科学最好地服务于人类。【最佳选项】d4what is the main idea of the passage?a. science and its applications bring us many dangers.b. the development of science mostly lies in peoples attitudes.c. mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.d. the future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas.【详解剖析】主旨大意题。第一段表明了全文的主要内容。【最佳选项】b长难句解读science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference.科学进步如此之快,受商业影响如此之深,让我们有可能认为我们无论做出何种决定都没有什么作用。本句是so.that 的句式结构。that引导的结果状语从句中含有whatever引导的宾语从句。despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact on traditional moral values,some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques.尽管科学家们普遍认同人类克隆可能会给传统的道德价值观念带来巨大的影响,但有些国家仍然进行与此相关的技术研究及开发。agreement on.就达成共识;impact on.对有影响。第三部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分) 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。a(2012河北普通高考模拟)im often told how i have a dream job,that i work for a great company,getting to deal with the leaders in social media every day,and especially that i get to work from my home.usually the people who tell me that working from home is wonderful have never worked from home.they spend most of their career working from an office and hate it.in fact,i love being able to work from home and make my own hours.i truly appreciate being able to drop what im doing to attend kids or go shopping,but theres a side to it we dont often talk about,the hard side.no one wants to believe people like me,working from home,have anything to complain about.really,im not going to complain,but i do want to share a few things about telecommuting(远程办公) that few homebased people want to tell you,because working from home doesnt look so wonderful.one of the reasons i love my job is the flexibility.i know that i can volunteer for school projects,meet friends for lunch and work out for an hour as long as i get my work done.but do you know telecommuters have to make up the time if they wish to pepper their days with fun distractions?so while my husband and kids are watching a movie,im working until midnight.besides,when you work from home,youre held to your phone and skype(网络电话)in case someone wants to talk to you during business hours.so its not so easy to be flexible!56we learn from the passage that the writer _.ais quite satisfied with her present workbcan balance her work and family life wellccomplains about the disadvantages of working from officedpresents some unknown facts of working from home57the last paragraph mainly tells us that _.ayoure not as flexible as you think you arebyoure usually a slave to yourselfcthe writer can always make full use of the freedomdthe writer is always busy with her work58the writer probably agrees that _.aeast or west,homeworking is the bestbfreedom should always come before workcget work done,or youll have no freedomdall work and no play makes jack a dull boy59who is the passage mainly intended for?atelecommuters. boffice workers.djob hunters. dresearchers.56d根据文章第三段最后一句中的“im not going to complain,but i do want to share a few things about telecommuting(远程办公)that few homebased people want to tell you,because working from home doesnt look so wonderful.”可知,作者告诉我们一些远程办公不被公众所了解的事实,故选d项。57a根据文章最后一句“so its not so easy to be flexible!”可知,此段主要讲述了在家上班并没有人们想象中那么自由,a项最能归纳该段大意,故选a项。58c根据文章最后一段作者自己的经历并结合全文可知,即便你在家工作,如果你还没有完成工作的话,你仍然是没有所谓的自由可言的,故选c项。59b文章多次提到“telecommuting”“working from home”等等,由此不难推断出,本文是为那些想要远程办公或者在家办公的办公室职员而写的,故选b项。*结束 (河北唐山一模)sales executivepindan labor solutions is expanding and we require a sales executive.working hours from monday to friday,12 months a

determined to be a fashion designer,it is not enough to have succeeded in college.the real test is whether they can survive,and become established during their early 20s,making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can be as important as talent and creativity.fashion is a hard business.there is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed to prepare for the next seasons collections.it is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines.it also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy.“we try to warn people before they come to us about how tough it is.”says lydia kemeny.head of fashion at st.martins school of art in london.“and we point out that drive and determination are absolutely necessary.”this may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashionable young people spending their time designing pretty dresses.that may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college wont be slow in introducing students to commercial realities.“we dont walk our foot on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of price,producing ability,marketing and so on.”almost all fashion design is done to a brief.it is not a form of selfexpression as such,although there is certainly room for imagination and creativity.most young designers are going to end up as employees of a producer or a fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the characteristic style of their employer.even those students who are most modern in their own taste of clothes may
