2014高考英语阅读理解基础极品训练题（23）及答案(a)while in banff, make time for a walk around town. a special treat is to go up the mountainside on the banff gondola for a surprising view of the valley below. here is the pines, whose cook has developed a special way of mixing foreign food such as caribou, wild boar, and reindeer with surprising sauces.best time to visit is during the off-season, from early may to mid-june, or in october. this way you can avoid sharing the high way with mobile homes which can be pulled by cars. but whatever the season, take some lunch with you from banff, because there are only a few food stops on the road.forty minutes north of banff, side by side with the banff national park, sits world-famous lake louise. this surprisingly small body of water is attractive with towering mountains around it. glaciers, huge masses of ice, moving very slowly against rocks, produce what is called glacier rock flour, making its water dark to see. it is worth taking a walk around the grounds of the chateau lake louise, another beauty, proud of its early 20th century history.back on the road, and its time to continue north past the astonishing columbia icefield, then turn off the highway and take the short road to the base of the athabaska glacier. you can rent ice cleats (夹板) and do some climbing or do a more pleasant snowmobile tour. either way, you can enjoy endless beautiful sights.finally youll reach jasper, the usual turning around the place for the banff-jasper loop (回路). its worth riding the jasper skytram, and be sure to visit the wonderful jasper park lodge, also dating back to the 1920s. if you can have lunch there, do it. the restaurant has an adventurous menu and their wine list would put a smile on any visitors face.1. according to the passage,

every modern industrial society has some form of social stratification(阶层). class, power and status are important in deciding peoples rank in society.class means a persons economic position in society. a commonly used classification is lower class, middle class and upper class. while sociologists disagree on how these terms should be exactly defined, they do describe societies like the united states quite well. one study shows that 53% of americans belong to the lower class, 46% the middle class, and 1% the upper class. interestingly, a surgeon earning $500,000 a year and a bus driver earning $50,000 a year both regard themselves as the middle class!power refers to the amount of control a person has over other people. obviously, people in positions of great power (such as governors) exercise(行使)big power, but people who take orders from others have less power. power and class do not always go hand in hand, however. for example, the governor of a state has great power, but he or she may not belong to a corresponding (相应的)economic class. generally, however, there is a relationship between power and class. to our knowledge, there arent too many people who arent millionaires in the us. senate!status is the honor or respect attached to a persons position in society. it can also be affected by power and class, but not necessarily so. for example, a university professor may have a high status but not belong to a high social class or have a lot of power over others.文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，阐明了阶级、权力、地位的定义以及三者之间的关系。13what can we learn about “the middle class” from paragraph 2?apeople earning $50,000 a year belong to the middle class.bnearly half americans belong to the middle class.cpeople generally consider bus drivers as the middle class.dsociologists have a clear definition of the middle class.答案：b细节理解题。由第二段第四句话可知美国中产阶级占46%，差不多一半，故b项正确。由第五句话“有趣的是年收入五十万美元的外科医生和五万美元的公交车司机都自认为是中产阶级”，是“自认为”，所以ac项都不对。由第三句话可知d项错误。14according to the text, we know that _.apower

austin, now a 10thgrader, didnt see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. but janey insisted, and husband peter unwillingly got to work. the 51yearold owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that hed built years earlier for daughter abbies toy horses, and made a door of glass.after adding the librarys final touches (装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book，” and making the henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only little free library in palm beach county.they stocked it with 20 or so books theyd already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids favorites. “i told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again，” said janey, a stayathome mom.since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. the library now gets an average of five

be effective in treating a variety of diseases, including virus infections, bacterial infections, and cancers. to date, the new drug has no side effect of great influence to discourage its use. but in spite of its success, last year only one gram was produced in the entire world.the reason for the shortage lies in the structure of interferon. a special protein, the interferon produced from one animal species cannot be used in treating another animal species. in other words, to treat human beings, only interferon produced by human beings may be used. the drug is produced by infecting white blood cells with a virus. fortunately, it is so effective that the amount given to each patient each time is very small.unlike antibiotics (抗生素), interferon does not attack germs directly. instead, it protects healthy cells from being infected, and prevents the reproduction of viruses within cells.as you might conclude, one of the most special uses of interferon has been in the treatment of cancer. dr. hans strander, a research physician at swedens famous karolinska institute, has treated more than one hundred cancer patients with the new drug. among a group of selected patients who had received operations for advanced cancer, half were given traditional treatments and the other half were given interferon. among those treated with interferon 70 percent of them remained alive over three years, as compared with only 10 to 30 percent among those wh
