At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, Ive found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, its the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colorssilver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.Its fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks (人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just cant provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didnt want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.1According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?A. Because they are traditional and safe. B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.C. Because they are colorful and available.D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.2The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended _.A. to ride it for funB. to use it for transportC. to experience local cultureD. to improve his riding skills3How did the author feel about his street crossing?A. It was boring.B. It was difficult.C. It was lively. D. It was wonderful.4Which of the following best describes the authors biking experience?A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.C. The author was praised by the other bikers.D. The author took great pleasure in biking.文章大意作者从美国来到中国，认识到中国是一个自行车王国，为了体验中国的文化，他买了一辆自行车并且开始了他难忘的体验之旅。1B。考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“For many, its the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.”可知，自行车在中国仍然很受欢迎的原因是自行车方便而且不贵。2C。考查细节理解。根据第三段的第一句“Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle.”可知C项正确。3B。考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段的第一句“Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.”可知，作者认为过马路很困难。4D。考查推理判断。文章最后一段中的“amazing, wonderful, on top of the world”和“feel alive”等说明骑自行车给作者带来了很多快乐。【2015高考复习】阅读理解A survey sponsored by an international temporary service agency found that US.executives believe that people with a sense of humour do better at their jobs，compared with those who have little or no sense of humour.In fact，a whopping 96 percent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humour do better.The survey went on to point out that the results suggest that a sense of humour may help lighthearted employees keep their jobs during tough times.And，whats more，it may propel them up the corporate ladder past their humourless colleagues.Why？It seems that those with a sense of humour are better communicators and better team players.Studies have shown that happy workers are more productive.In fact，a researcher at California State University found that humour could help the employees to release tension.Consequently，they can concentrate on their work more efficiently.Whats more，employees who enjoy interacting with their coworkers arent as likely to be distracted，or absent from work.Research conducted by psychologist Dr Ashton Trice at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia showed that humour helps us think.When people feel stuck on important projects，they tend to feel angry or depressed.This negative mood can interfere with subsequent performance.According to Dr Trices research，taking time out to laugh can help us to get rid of negative feelings and allow us to return to a task or move on to another project unaffected by past defeat.If humour is really this important，then why dont we use it more often on the job?Most likely，the main reason is that many people are unaware of the positive effects of humour in the workplace.They tend to think humour and laughter are unproductive or unprofessional，perhaps both.However，it is important to realize that some humour is inappropriate for the workplace，and that it is often used at wrong times.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇时文报道。管理者们认为，和那些没有幽默感的人相比，具有幽默感的人能把工作做得更好。比如，幽默的人富有合作意识，具有较高的工作效率等。20Most people think a sense of humour can _.Ahelp you to do your work betterBmake you have a rich lifeCmake you pleased with your workDhelp you to make more friends答案A细节理解题。根据第一段可知，和没有或很少有幽默感的人相比，有幽默感的人能把工作做得更好。B、C和D在意义上和幽默感没有联系，也和本文意思不符。21Which one of the following can describe a person with a sense of homour?ASerious. BFunny.CChangeable. DFriendly.答案D推理判断题。由全文内容可以看出：有幽默感的人更容易与人交流，与人合作；有幽默感的人更平易近人，更“友好”；而不是“易变、严肃、有趣”等。22Many people dont use humour more often in the workplace because _.Athey like keeping silent when workingBthey dont know the positive effects of humourCthey think they should obey the rulesDthey dont like joking or laughing答案B细节理解题。根据第五段可知，在工作场所人们大都表现得不幽默，其原因是不知道幽默的积极效果。其他选项与文章的意思不符。23Which is probably the best title for the passage?APeople with a sense of humour.BHumour is important in the workplace.CHumour and humourless.DEveryone likes humour.答案B主旨大意题。全文主要谈的是工作中的幽默的积极作用。比如，幽默可以使人减轻压力，可以使人有较高的工作效率等。本文不是纯粹地讲幽默，也不是纯粹地说有幽默感的人。【2015高考复习】阅读理解When youre surfing the Internet on your laptop from your dorm or home，do you know your personal details are being gathered secretly？And would you be surprised to know the information may be sold cheaply to advertisers and marketers?According to an investigation by The Wall Street Journal，all it takes is a tiny file in a computera single code consisting of a long series of numbers and lettersto record the computer users age，gender，location，favorite movies and hobbies.The newspaper reports that Lotame Solutions Inc.，a New York company，uses a sophisticated (先进的) software.called “beacon”to capture what people are typing on a website.Lotame packages that data into profiles (个人资料) about individuals，only without their names，and sells the profiles to companies seeking customers.Batches of such data may be sold for a few dollars.The Wall Street Journal survey discovered that spying on Internet users is one of the fastestgrowing businesses on the World Wide Web.The “cookie”a tiny text file put on your PC by websites or marketing firms which might be used to remember your preferences for one site，or to track you across many sites is already old news.There are new and more complex tools such as “beacons”which scan in real time what people are doing on a webpage.These beacons instantly assess the Internet users location，income，shopping interests and even medical conditions.Millions of Internet users around the world also face unprecedented (空前的) threats.Private，sensitive，personal and business information is being gathered and sold without their knowledge.Companies insist the information they gather is anonymous and the data is used harmlessly.But the technology has grown so powerful that even some of the biggest websites in the US dont know that they were installing intrusive files on visitors computers.These include MSN.com and Y.Next time you visit a webpage and find an ad banner advertising something youve been planning to buy，dont be amazed that your computer can read your mind.【语篇导读】经常上网的人可能都遇到过这样的情况：浏览网页(surfing the Internet)时总是跳出一些广告，内容还都是你最近想买的商品。别误会，你的电脑还没智能到读懂你的想法是你的个人隐私被出卖啦！赶快来看看是怎么一回事吧！1The purpose of the passage is to_.Aintroduce a tiny file in a computera single codeBshow how your individual information was let out when you surf the InternetCshow how to protect your privacyDintroduce a sophisticated software called “beacon”答案B主旨大意题。本文围绕着上网时你的个人信息被别人收集并且被出售了讲述。故选B项。2All of the following statements are not true EXCEPT_.A.
