南昌市2014高考英语阅读理解二轮限时训练精品题（14）及答案【四川省绵阳市2014高考英语一模试题】cthere are two types of people in the world. although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. this arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.people who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. they enjoy all the cheerful things. those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. by their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. if this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. the intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation (模仿). it grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. the habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. i hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. this frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. if they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. if they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. these should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. if they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.63. people who are unhappy _.a. always consider things differently from othersb. usually are affected by the results of certain thingsc. usually misunderstand what others think or sayd. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things64. we can conclude from the passage that _.a. we should pity all such unhappy peopleb. such unhappy people are dangerous to social lifec. people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessd. unhappy people can not understand happy persons65. if such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _.a. prevent any communication with themb. show no respect and politeness to themc. persuade them to recognize the bad effectsd. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes66. in this passage, the writer mainly _.a. describes two types of peopleb. laughs at the unhappy peoplec. suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappinessd. tells people how to be happy in life63. d. 细节理解题。由第二段第3句可以看出另一些人感到不幸福的原因。64. c. 细节判断题。由第二段倒数第2句可以判断出人们可以改变不幸福的脾性。65. a. 细节判断题。由第三段倒数第2句可以看出作者的想法。66. c. 主旨大意题。本文主要讲的是那些感觉不幸福的人处处冒犯别人，若长期以往，则只能处于被孤立的境地，所以他们应改变自己的习惯。【四川省绵阳市2014高考英语一模试题】dthe apple iphones impact was widely evident (明显的) at the consumer electronics show, as new touchscreen devices could be found everywhere.the consumer electronics industry came unbuttoned in las vegas this week. at the annual consumer electronics show, companies from around the world unveiled many devices boasting (以拥有而自豪) touch - sensitive technology, rather than traditional push-button controls.motorola, sony, and lg electronics all showed off touch-screen phones this week. microsoft chairman bill gates praised and offered a touch-screen computer, the surface, related to a flat panel tv for a tabletop. even camera makers, such as kodak，included touch-screen lcds in their devices. touch-screen tech has been in use for years，but the push to develop and weave it into consumer electronics gathered steam with the june introduction of apples iphone. the touch-screen industry is really getting hot, says jennifer colegrove, a senior analyst at isuppli. since the iphone came out, there are a lot of companies that did not have a relationship with touch screens before that decided, ok, i want to make a touch screen, too.the touchscreen tech ecosystem now includes more than 100 companies specializing in everything from smudge-proof (防污的) screens to sensors (传感器) able to detect fingers before they even contact the screen. sales of leading touch-screen technologies，such as those used in mobile phones and navigation (航行) devices，are expected to rise to $ 4.4 billion in 2012, up from $ 2.4 billion in 2006，according to isuppli estimates.67. what did the writer think about the apple iphone？a. the apple iphone was beautiful. b. the apple iphone was popular.c. the apple iphone was expensive. d. the apple iphone was attractive.68. what is the meaning of the underlined word unveiled in the second paragraph？a. invented. b. unlocked. c. discovered. d. showed.69. the touch-screen tech was used in consumer electronics mainly because of _.a. traditional push-button controls b. microsoft chairman bill gatesc. the introduction of apples iphone d. the touch-screen tech ecosystem70. what can we learn from the passage?a. the touch-screen technology will disappear.b. the touch-screen technology will be replaced by traditional push-button controls.c. the touch-screen technology will be as important as traditional push-button controls.d. the touch-screen technology will be more widely used in electronics devices.67. b. 细节理解题。由第三段的getting hot可知，意为受欢迎的。68. d. 词义猜测题。由第二段可知在展览会上各公司一定展示了他们的新产品。69. c. 细节理解题。由第三段第六行可知。70. d. 细节推断题。由全文最后一段内容可知。 较难题目特训：介绍说明类feeling blue about the world? “cheer up,” says science writer matt ridley.” the world has never been a better place to live in, and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for nature.”ridley calls himself a rational optimistrational, because hes carefully weighed the evidence; optimistic, because that evidence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and good. and this is what hes set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent book, the rational optimist. he views mankind as a grand enterprise that, on the whole, has done little but progress for 100,000 years. he backs his findings with hard facts gathered through years of research. heres how he explains his views. 1) shopping fuels inventionit is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in london alone. even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty, our own generation has access to more nutritious food, more convenient transport, bigger houses, better cars, and, of course, more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us. this will continue as long as we use these things to make other things. the more we specialize and exchange, the better off well be. 2) brilliant advancesone reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer-lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needsfood, clothing, fuel and shelterhave grown a lot cheaper. take one example. in 1800 a candle providing one hours light cost six hours work. in the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes work to pay for. in 1950 it was eight seconds. today its half second. 3) lets not kill ourselves for climate changemitigating(减轻) climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare as climate change itself. a child that dies from indoor smoke in a village, where the use of fossil-fuel(化石燃烧) electricity is forbidden by well-meaning members of green political movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate change. if climate change proves to be mild, but cutting carbon causes real pain, we may well find that we have stopped a nose-bleed by putting a tourniquet(止血带) around our necks. 1. what is the theme of ridleys most recent book? a. weakness of human nature.b. concern about climate change.c. importance of practical thinking.d. optimism about human progress.2. how does ridley look at shopping? a. it encourages the creation of things.b. it results in shortage of goods.c. it demands more fossil fuels.d. it causes a poverty problem.3. the candle and lamp example is used to show that.a. oil lamps give off more light than candlesb. shortening working time brings about a happier lifec. advanced technology helps to produce better candlesd. increased production rate leads to lower cost of goods4. what does the last sentence of the passage imply? a. cutting carbon is necessary in spite of the huge cost.b. overreaction to climate change may be dangerous.c. peoples health is closely related to climate change. d. careless medical treatment may cause great pain.【参考答案】42.1-4 dadb社会生活类-（一）201*宁夏六校联考 in 1986，when carlo petrini first coined the term “slow food，” he organized locally in his native italy to preserve the food and wine culture and protest fast food. today, slow food has spread to 132 countries with over 85, 000 members, addressing worldwide issues like farmer equity and environmental_stewardshipthe actions people take to respect the rights of all living things and all environments, to contribute to healthy and livablecommunities.characterized by slow food international as “good, clean, and fair food，” slow food must enrich the eaters life，have no negative impact on human or environmental health，and compensatefairly for food producers work.the average american meal travels about 1,500 miles to its final destination, with producing of food traveling by plane from overseas and other items shipped across the country. however，cost for food travel and heavy processing are not the only problems in the foodindustry that the environment faces. industrial agriculture also has unsustainable practices likeinefficient water use and decreased biodiversity. our ideas in feeding ourselves are exceptional,but at various points our technologies come into conflict with natures ways of doing things. a great many of the health and environmental problems created by our food system owe to our attempts tooversimplify natures complexities, at both the growing and the eating ends of our food chain. “slowing” food, by purchasing locally and sustainably, allows consumers to reduce theimpact of “food miles” and develop a closer relationship with their food producers.“ we need tochange our food system，” said david prior, organizer of slow food nation eatin. “our currentfood system is sick and we need to support farmers and agriculture to ensure that everyone has theright to nutritious food.”36the main idea of the passage can be summarized as_.awhy slow food is so important bthe food and wine culture is r
