2014高考英语二轮阅读理解精英训练精品题（16）及答案高考英语冲刺阅读理解专项-athe sun shone in through the dining room window, lighting up the hardwood floor. we had been talking there for nearly two hours. the phone of the“nightline”rang yet again and morrie asked his helperconnie，to get it. she had been taking down the callersnames in morries small black appointment book. it was clear i was not the only one interested in visiting my old professorthe“nightline”appearance had made him something of a big figurebut i was impressed with, perhaps even a bit envious of, all the friends that morrie seemed to have. “you know, mitch, now that im dying, ive become much more interesting to peopleim on the last great journey hereand people want me to tell them what to pack” the phone rang again “morrie，can you talk?”connie asked. “im visiting with my old friend now，”he announced“let them call back” i cannot tell you why he received me so warmly. i was hardly the promising student who had left him sixteen years earlierhad it not been for“nightline，”morrie might have died without ever seeing me again what happened to me? the eighties happened. the nineties happeneddeath and sickness and getting fat and going bald happened. i traded lots of dreams for a bigger paycheck, and i never even realized i was doing it. yet here was morrie talking with the wonder of our college years, as if id simply been on a long vacation. “have you found someone to share your heart with?” he asked. “are you at peace with yourself?” “are you trying to be as human as you can be?” i felt ashamed, wanting to show i had been trying hard to work out such questionswhat happened to me? i once promised myself i would never work for money, that i would join the peace corps, and that i would live in beautiful, inspirational places instead, i had been in detroit for ten years, at the same workplace，using the same bank, visiting the same barber i was thirty-seven，more mature than in college，tied to computers and modems and cell phones. i was no longer young, nor did i walk around in gray sweatshirts with unlit cigarettes in my mouth. i did not have long discussions over egg salad sandwiches about the meaning of life my days were full, yet i remained, much of the time, unsatisfied. what happened to me? 1. when did the author graduate from morries college? a. in the eighties b. in the nineties c. when he was sixteen. d. when he was twenty-one答案解析：答案为d。本题为细节题。由第六段 “i was hardly the promising student who had left him sixteen years earlier”可知，作者16年前离开morrie，由倒数第三段 “visiting the same barber i was thirty-seven，more mature than in college”可知，作者已经有37岁了，比上大学的时候成熟了许多，因此作者毕业的时候是21岁。故答案为d。2. what do we know about the“nightline”? a. morrie started it by himself. b. it helped morrie earn a famec. the author helped morrie start itd. it was only operated at night答案解析：答案为b。本题为细节题。由第一段 “the“nightline”appearance had made him something of a big figure”可知，“nightline”使morrie成为了一个了不起的人物，b选项与文意符合，故答案为b。a、c选项未提，均不选。由第一段第一、二句话 “the sun shone in through the dining room window, lighting up the hardwood floor. we had been talking there for nearly two hours.”可知，d选项错误。3. what can we infer from the passage? a. both the author and morrie liked travelling.b. morrie liked helping people pack things for their journeys.c. the author envied morries friends the help they got from him.d. the author earned a lot of money at the cost of his dreams.答案解析：答案为d。本题为推理题。由第八段 “i traded lots of dreams for a bigger paycheck, and i never even realized i was doing it.” 和第十二段 “i felt ashamed, wanting to show i had been trying hard to work out such questionswhat happened to me? i once promised myself i would never work for money”可知，作者从没意识到他为了更高的薪水以自己的梦想作为交易，他感到羞愧，因为他曾经许诺自己永不为钱而工作，可是他并没做到，因此可以推断，作者以自己的梦想为代价赚了许多钱，故答案为d。第二段虽然提到 “im on the last great journey hereand people want me to tell them what to pack” 但此处的“journey”是比喻人生的旅程，故a、b选项错误。第一段提到 “but i was impressed with, perhaps even a bit envious of, all the friends that morrie seemed to have.” 作者羡慕morrie有如此多的朋友，c选项“作者羡慕morrie的朋友从他那儿得到的帮助”与文意不符，故错误。4. whats the authors feeling when he writes this passage? a. regretful. b. enthusiastic.c. sympathetic. d. humorous.答案解析：答案为a。本题为推理题。从本文的写作语气和一些关键词，例如第十二段的 “i felt ashamed”、倒数第三段 “i did not have long discussions over egg salad sandwiches about the meaning of life”和倒数第二段 “my days were full, yet i remained, much of the time, unsatisfied.”都流露出作者因为他前面的一生都是为钱而工作对自己所度过的人生感到非常后悔。故答案为a。阅读理解when an earthquake hit a small town，many houses fell down. after the earthquake，all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble.one sunday，when i was reading a newspaper，a special picture touched me. it gave the clothing sizes of each family member. i thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves. i said to my sevenyearold twins，brad and brett，and threeyearold meghan，“we have so much，and these poor people now have nothing. well share what we have with them.”i filled a box with foods and clothes. while i was doing this，i encouraged the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favourite things. meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together. then she walked away. a few minutes later she came back with lucy，her muchloved doll. she put the doll on top of the other toys. “oh，dear，”i said. “you dont have to give lucy. you

to the us government, wind farms off the pacific coast could produce 900 gigawatts of electricity every year.unfortunately，the water there is far too deep for even the tallest windmills(see picture)to touch bottom. an experiment under way off the coast of norway，however，could help put them anywhere.the project, called hywind，is the worlds first largescale deepwater wind turbine(涡轮发电机)although it uses a fairly standard 152ton,2.3megawatt turbine，hywind represents totally new technology. the turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar(see picture)，a technology hywinds creator，the norwegian company statoilhydro，has developed recently. the steel spar, which is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface, will be tied to the ocean floor by three cables(缆索)；these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down in the waves.hywinds stability(稳定性)in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power. if all goes according to plan, the turbine will start producing electricity six miles off the coast of southwestern norway as early as september.to produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind farm will have to use bigger turbines than hywind does, but its difficult enough to balance such a large turbine so high on a floating spar in the middle of the ocean. to make that turbine heavier, the whole spars centre of gravity must be moved much closer to the oceans surface. to do that, the company plans to design a new kind of wind turbine, one whose gearbox(变速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind the blades(see picture)hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating windfarm technology could be extremely large. out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing off shore windmills are planted. deepsea farms are invisible from land, which helps overcome the windmillaseyesore objection. if the technology catches on, it will open up vast areas of the planets surface to one of the best lowcarbon power sources available.本文为科普短文，讲述世界上第一个深海风力发电机涡轮发电机以及它的发电原理及好处。9the hywind project uses totally new technology to ensure the stability of_.a. the cables which tie the spar to the ocean floorb. the spar which is floating in deepsea waterc. the blades driven by strong and steady sea windd. the stones filled in the spar below the sea surface答案：b。细节理解题。由文章第二段特别是“these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down in the waves”可知b项正确。10to balance a bigger turbine high on a floating spar, a new type of turbine is to be designed with its gearbox sitting_.a. on the sea floor b. on the spar topc. at sea level d. behind the blades答案：c。细节理解题。由文章第三段最后一句“.one whose gearbox sits at sea level rather than behind the blades.”可知c项正确。11wide applications of deepwater wind power technology can_.a. solve the technical problems of deepwater windmillsb. make financial profits by producing more turbinesc. settle the arguments about environmental problemsd. explore lowcarbon power resources available at sea答案：d。细节理解题。由文章最后一句“.it will open up vast areas of the planets surface to one of the best lowcarbon power sources available.”可知d项正确。 高考英语冲刺阅读理解专项-bmy cat posy, a tortoiseshell tabby, lives with my family in a house in london, england. like most cats, posy is never pleased to see another cat on her territoryor anywhere, for that matter. whenever she encounters a cat-like fellow, her hair stands on end, and she begins to hiss. in extreme cases, she sets up a yowling that warns the whole neighborhood.though she may be a proud defender of her territory, there is a reason why my dad has always referred to her as “a cat of very little brain”. one day my mum came home with a purchase she was delighted witha large tea cozy in the shape of a cat, with all the cat features, from ears to tail, drawn in. naturally, when teatime rolled around the next afternoon, out came the new tea cozy to keep the pot warm. it received a lot of admiration from the rest of the family because it had the look of a real cat. this cat looked almost like a king sitting there, guarding the pot, with a half-smile on his cloth face. suddenly, a slight sound emerged over the clink of teaspoons on china a slow, steady hiss. i turned around to see posy behind me in the kitchen doorway, hair standing on end, ears laid back, staring straight at the tea cozy. the tea cozy stared back. posy edged nearer with suspicion, as her eyes narrowed, while she sent out more hissing sounds as she sized up her rivala rival whod not only managed to get into her house but was now on her table. and here was the family doing nothing about it.needless to say, we had almost fallen off our chairs laughing by this timewe couldnt believe she actually thought the tea cozy was a real cat! luckily, posy stopped short of jumping on the unexpected rival. eventually we took pity on her, lifted the cozy off the pot and finally convinced her that, the presence of this particular cat on her territory was no good reason to cause fur to fly.1. posy begins to hiss _.a. whenever she sees a tortoise on her territoryb. whenever she sees another cat on her territoryc. whenever she sees a teapot at homed. whenever she meets the family members at home答案解析：答案为b。本题为细节题。由第一段 “like most cats, posy is never pleased to see another cat on her territoryor anywhere, for that matter. whenever she encounters a cat-like
