2014高考英语阅读理解抓分练习（1）及答案 last week, we explained that the planet mars has passed “opposition. ”it passed a point opposite the sun. this week, we tell about the planets surprising motion(运动)among the stars. for thousands of years, people have recognized that planets travel among the stars. the planets generally follow the path taken by the sun through the sky. the suns path is called the ecliptic. the groups of stars along the ecliptic are called the zodiac. the motion of the planets can be confusing at times. everyone knows the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. but this is caused by the turning motion of the earth. planets generally move from west to east. however, mars will appear to move backward for about two months this year. this happens because the earth is overtaking mars on its way around the sun. mars began its backward, or westward, motion on may 11th, it will start moving eastward again on july 19th. mars apparent motion has been a mystery to astronomers for hundreds of years. most early theories of the solar system argued that the sun and planets turned around the earth. but the sudden westward motion of mars presented a problem. why would mars move west for two months when it nears “opposition”?in 1543, a polish church worker named nicolas copernicus published a different theory. his theory said the earth and planets moved around the sun in perfectly circular orbits. copernicus theory was simpler. but his sun centered system still did not explain the observed motion of mars very well.finally, a german mathematician named johannes kepler published a complete theory of the motion of the planets in 1619. he had carefully studied the motion of mars for many years.johannes kepler discovered that the planets do not move in circular orbits around the sun. instead, they travel in flattened orbits called ellipses. mars elliptical orbit is the cause of its unusual brightening this year and its apparent large size.during the next several weeks, you can see for yourself why the mysterious motion of mars has caused so many people to wonder.63. from the passage we can learn that .a. the sun and planets generally travel westward b. kepler studied the orbit of the planets in 1619c. copernicus theory well explained the motion of marsd. the earths turning motion causes the sun to rise in the east64. on july 19th mars .a. will pass the “opposition”b. appears to change its direction againc. will begin to move westwardd. appears to change its orbit again65. why does mars appear to be bigger and brighter when it passes “opposition”?a. it is overtaking the earth.b. it follows the path of the sun.c. it moves in an elliptical orbit.d. it travels in a circular orbit.66. what is the best title for the passage?a. the recent research into mars b. the surprising motion of marsc. the great discovery on mars d. the wonderful mystery of marsmotion of the planets in 1619. kepler在1619年出版了行星运动的完全理论” 可知，他的研究应该是在1619年之前，b错误；根据第六段最后一句“but his sun centered system still did not explain the observed motion of mars very well.”可知，c错误；根据第三段第二、三句“everyone knows the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. but this is caused by the turning motion of the earth.”可知d正确。【考点定位】考查推理判断题。64. 【答案】b 【解析】根据第四段最后一句“mars began its backward, or westward, motion on may 11th, it will start moving eastward again on july 19th. ”可知，b正确。【考点定位】考查细节理解题。65. 【答案】c 【解析】根据第八段最后一句“mars elliptical orbit is the cause of its unusual brightening this year and its apparent large size.”可知，c正确。【考点定位】考查细节理解题。66. 【答案】b 【解析】综合全文，文章主要讲今年火星mars有两个月的时间是向西转动的，这与一般行星自西向东转动是相反的，因此b项符合题意。【考点定位】考查标题总结题。 西南师大附中高三第三次月考（期中）第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。anewyork tuesday april 12dustin hoffman fan pamela crack got the shock of her life when the movie star telephoned her as she was doing her housework. crack, 58, said she was “flabbergasted”when she picked up the phone and heard the star at the other end.“its not every day you get a hollywood superstar phoning you when youre doing the housework,” crack told the sun, “it was a moment ill never forget.”hoffman was in the back of a london taxi driven by cracks husband, dave, when he made the call after being told pamela was a fan. dave crack later became the star of hoffmans speech at the bafta award ceremony sunday, where the 62-year-old american actor presented the best film award.“he said to give him a mention,” hoffman told the audience to a burst of laughter. “cheers dave.” taxi driver crack said the hollywood star was a joy to drive from the moment he got into the taxi eating a cheese and tomato sandwich.“i said youre that dustin hoffman, arent you?
