2、cases by very different organs. Religions are many, reason one. Religion consists of conscious ideas, hopes, enthusiasms, and objects of worship; it operates by grace and flourishes by prayer.

Religio
4、n brings some order into life by weighting it with new materials. Reason adds to the natural materials only the perfect order which it introduces into them. Rationality is nothing but a form, an ideal constitution which experience may more or less embody. Religion is a part of experience itself, a m
5、ass of sentiments and ideas. The one is an inviolate principle, the other a changing and struggling force. And yet this struggling and changing force of religion seems to direct man toward something eternal. It seems to make for an ultimate harmony within the soul and for an ultimate harmony between
6、 the soul and all that the soul depends upon. Religion, in its intent, is a more conscious and direct pursuit of the Life of Reason than is society, science, or art, for these approach and fill out the ideal life tentatively and piecemeal, hardly regarding the foal or caring for the ultimate justifi
7、cation of the instinctive aims. Religion also has an instinctive and blind side and bubbles up in all manner of chance practices and intuitions; soon, however, it feels its way toward the heart of things, and from whatever quarter it may come, veers in the direction of the ultimate. Nevertheless, we
8、 must confess that this religious pursuit of the Life of Reason has been singularly abortive. Those within the pale of each religion may prevail upon themselves, to express satisfaction with its results, thanks to a fond partiality in reading the past and generous draughts of hope for the future; bu
9、t any one regarding the various religions at once and comparing their achievements with what reason requires, must feel how terrible is the disappointment which they have one and all prepared for mankind. Their chief anxiety has been to offer imaginary remedies for mortal ills, some of which are inc

11、nevitable correlate of birth and of a changing and conditioned existence. By methods of this sort little can be done for the real betterment of life.

12、thy exaltation and a one-sided morality have to be followed by regrettable reactions. When these come. The real rewards of life may seem vain to a relaxed vitality, and the very name of virtue may irritate young spirits untrained in and natural excellence. Thus religion too often debauches the moral
13、ity it comes to sanction and impedes the science it ought to fulfill. What is the secret of this ineptitude? Why does religion, so near to rationality in its purpose, fall so short of it in its results? The answer is easy; religion pursues rationality through the imagination. When it explains events
14、 or assigns causes, it is an imaginative substitute for science. When it gives precepts, insinuates ideals, or remoulds aspiration, it is an imaginative substitute for wisdomI mean for the deliberate and impartial pursuit of all food. The condition and the aims of life are both represented in religi
15、on poetically, but this poetry tends to arrogate to itself literal truth and moral authority, neither of which it possesses. Hence the depth and importance of religion becomes intelligible no less than its contradictions and practical disasters. Its object is the same as that of reason, but its meth

28、種種宗教為全人類作好的失望是實(shí)在太可怕了。7. To confuse intelligence and dislocate sentiment by gratuitous fictions is a short-sighted way of pursuing happiness.參考譯文 以無(wú)理的幻想混淆智力，弄亂正常的情感是一種短視的追求幸福的方法。8. Thus religion too often debauches the morality it comes to sanction and impedes the science it ought to fulfill.參考譯文 因此，
29、宗教常常會(huì)使它要支持的道德墮落淪喪，并妨礙它應(yīng)該執(zhí)行的科學(xué)任務(wù)。9. The condition and the aims of life are both represented in religion poetically, but this poetry tends to arrogate to itself literal truth and moral authority, neither of which it possesses.參考譯文 生活的目標(biāo)和條件在宗教中詩(shī)一般的呈現(xiàn)，但這種詩(shī)意往往把宗教所并不具有的樸實(shí)真理和道德威力沒(méi)有來(lái)由的歸于宗教。寫(xiě)作方法與文章大意這是一篇用對(duì)比手
30、法寫(xiě)出宗教和理性之差異并著重描述宗教的文章。有各種中焦，理性只有一個(gè)，縱然兩者在功能和目的上有不相同之處，但由于宗教以直覺(jué)，想象力，情感為主，無(wú)視目的，雖比科學(xué)，社會(huì)或藝術(shù)更自覺(jué)，更直接追求理性生活，結(jié)果卻是失敗和失望，而理性則相反。答案祥解1. C. 一種有目的而又不帶偏見(jiàn)對(duì)最佳事物的探索。答案在最后一段，這種愚蠢的秘密是什么？為什么宗教在目的上那么接近真理，在其結(jié)構(gòu)和結(jié)果上，卻沒(méi)有理性的一切？答案很簡(jiǎn)單：宗教是通過(guò)想象來(lái)追逐理性，當(dāng)它解釋事件或闡明原因時(shí)，以虛構(gòu)的想象來(lái)取代科學(xué)，當(dāng)它訓(xùn)誡，暗示理想或者重塑抱負(fù)時(shí)，以想象代替智慧智慧的意思是指有意識(shí)而又公正的追求一切好東西。A. 通過(guò)想象力追
31、求理性。 B. 不帶感情的探詢真理。 C. 追求幸福的短視的方法。2. A. 宗教通過(guò)想象力尋求真理，而理性的探索卻運(yùn)用感情。見(jiàn)難句譯注3，理性（智）是非感情的。B. 在解決人類問(wèn)題上的宗教是一種無(wú)效的工具。 C. 科學(xué)尋求逐步解決對(duì)人類的問(wèn)題。 D. 哲學(xué)和理性的功能是一樣的。3. A. 宗教沒(méi)有意識(shí)（不知道）其最終目的的。見(jiàn)難句譯注4，說(shuō)明宗教不管（幾乎不關(guān)注）其目的，或不關(guān)心其本能的目標(biāo)最終真確與否。B. 宗教沒(méi)有想象力。 C. 其成果是確切的，最終的。 D. 宗教很象科學(xué)和藝術(shù)。4. D. 它激起人類情感。第一段中說(shuō)“宗教的掙扎與不斷變化的力量似乎促使人追求某種永恒的東西，它似乎追求靈
32、魂的最終和諧以及靈魂與靈魂所依賴的一起事物之間的永恒的和諧?！盇. 宗教依賴于直覺(jué)而不是推理。第一段最后一句：宗教也有本能和盲目的一面，在各種各樣的偶然實(shí)踐和直覺(jué)中沸騰?？刹痪盟窒蚴挛飪?nèi)心摸索前進(jìn)，然而不論從哪個(gè)方向來(lái)，都轉(zhuǎn)想最終方向（最終多轉(zhuǎn)想這個(gè)方向直覺(jué)），文章的最后一句：宗教的目的和理想的目的一樣，而其實(shí)現(xiàn)目的方法是通過(guò)直覺(jué)和無(wú)限止的詩(shī)一般的幻想來(lái)進(jìn)行的。 B. 它不關(guān)心其本能的目標(biāo)最終是否真確。 C. 它使人類很失望。5.

33、短文, 從給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng) (A、B、C和D) 中, 選出最佳選項(xiàng)。(2013深圳市二模，D)Since the beginning of the year, smog has covered parts of North China. In January, Beijing saw only five days without smog.

38、n water and safe food, the achievements in the economy will become meaningless. Space technologies are not to be developed for building a base on Mars so that one day all human beings can move to the red planet because they have destroyed Earth.What the public wants is a strong and beautiful China.
39、The great efforts must be made to promote ecological progress and build a beautiful China. The words have shown the central governments determination to address the environment issue.文章大意：本文是一篇議論文。今年北京的霧霾天氣引起了許多人對(duì)環(huán)保重要性的重視，我們不能只關(guān)注經(jīng)濟(jì)而忽視了我們賴以生存的環(huán)境，因?yàn)榘l(fā)展是為了生活得更好。16The effect of smog doesnt include _.Athe
40、 rising of PM2. 5 readings Bmore people suffering diseasesCthe increase of peoples income Dpatients increased in hospital答案：C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第三句“The rising PM2.5. more patients suffering acute respiratory (呼吸系統(tǒng)) and heart diseases.”可知，霧霾導(dǎo)致PM2.5值升高，許多人因呼吸疾病、心臟病突發(fā)而住院。故答案選C。17Why has smog become a common co
41、ncern?ABecause people have to pay higher prices.BBecause nobody can avoid it.CBecause we have to develop industry.DBecause a popular onlinepost discussed it.答案：B推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段內(nèi)容可知，空氣面前人人平等，不管你的職業(yè)是什么，都呼吸一樣的空氣。因此空氣一旦被污染，誰(shuí)都沒(méi)有辦法不受影響，所以大家都特別關(guān)注空氣質(zhì)量。故答案選B。18To make China stronger we have to develop economy,
42、 but _.Awe have to sacrifice air as the priceBthe dirty air is not what we wantCecological progress can be ignoredDthe smog is the only byproduct答案：B推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二、三段可知，固然我們要發(fā)展經(jīng)濟(jì)使國(guó)家強(qiáng)大，但發(fā)展經(jīng)濟(jì)不能以犧牲環(huán)境為代價(jià)，否則發(fā)展就變得沒(méi)有任何意義了。故答案選B。19The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refers to _.Ahuman beings Bother pl
43、anetsCspace technologies Dindustrial development答案：A指代判斷題。they是代詞，用來(lái)代替前面出現(xiàn)的復(fù)數(shù)名詞。根據(jù)句意可知，此處they代替上文中的human beings。故答案選A。20From the last two paragraphs we can infer that _.Ahightech can completely solve the problem of pollutionBspace technologies should be developed in a large scaleCwe can move to Mars
44、 after the earth has been destroyedDwe must protect the environment while developing economy答案：D推理判斷題。文章最后兩段強(qiáng)調(diào)了我們既要發(fā)展經(jīng)濟(jì)、科技，建設(shè)一個(gè)強(qiáng)大的國(guó)家，但同時(shí)也要保護(hù)生態(tài)環(huán)境，創(chuàng)造一個(gè)美麗的國(guó)度。故答案選D。閱讀下列短文, 從給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng) (A、B、C和D) 中, 選出最佳選項(xiàng)。(2013皖南八校第三次聯(lián)考，A)Handball is a hugely popular sport in Europe and Asia, and it is one of the fastest an

Handball has the same freeranging play as basketball, with all players except the goalkeeper constantly moving from attack to defence. The goalkeeper uses hands, feet, head and body to keep out the other teams shots.
48、The origins of handball are unclear. Many people believe that it developed as a training game for soccer, to be played in the off season, or when it was snowing.

51、 goals than the other team.(比另一隊(duì)多進(jìn)球)”可推知，手球運(yùn)動(dòng)的唯一目的是比賽時(shí)多進(jìn)球。3It is clear that the writer believes the sport of handball _.Ais more popular for men than for womenBis great fun for the audienceCrequires an unusually shaped ball Dshould only be played in winter 答案：B推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段倒數(shù)第二句“Now, in countries w
