四川省綿陽(yáng)市2014高考英語(yǔ)（暑假）文章類(lèi)訓(xùn)練題（18）附答案根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中的兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。When people get a bad toothache, they often have to eat soft, easily chewed food. _71_ Thats the conclusion of a zoologist at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and a dentist who works on carnivores (食肉動(dòng)物). _72_ Every once in a while, however, a lion will go on a human-eating diet. The most famous such tragedy happened in 1898, when two lions killed and ate 135 railway workers in Kenya. Examining the preserved skulls of the two big lions, zoologist Bruce Patterson and dentist Ellis Neiburger found that both animals had been suffering from several dental and jaw problems. _73_ Canines are pointed teeth that hunting animals use for gripping and piercing prey . The two lions might have been so badly disabled that they couldnt bite down forcefully, say the researchers. Consequently, the lions might have abandoned their normal, more difficult prey and turned to humans. Patterson said “_74_ Were very slow, we dont hear very well, and we dont see very well in the darkness.” _75_ It was inspired partly by the work of Jim Corbett, a tiger hunter in India in the 1930s. Corbett was regularly called in to hunt tigers that had been dining on Indian villagers. Time after time, Patterson discovered that the killer tigers were suffering from some ill-healthy conditions. 1. Humans are easy preys.2. Lions dont normally prey on people. 3. When lions get a bad toothache, they eat people4. One lion had three missing teeth and a loose, unsteady lower canine that was probably useless. 5. The research calls their idea the Infirmity Theory. 6. He had absolutely no experience taking medicine. G. Talking about it in the abstract isnt enough.71_75: CBDAE*結(jié)束閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng) AMeeting people from another culture can be difficult . From the beginning , people may send the wrong signal (信號(hào)) . Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship .Different cultures emphasize (強(qiáng)調(diào)) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree . For example , business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust . Even with people at work , it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea , before they do any job . In many European countrieslike the UK or France people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand . I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion ; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just-stared at me and smiled .After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly ,English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact. this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment（多元文化環(huán)境）will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.56In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to .Adevelop closer relations Bshare the same cultureCget to know each other Dkeep each other company57The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that .Athe English prefer to make long speechesBtoo many words are of no useCpeople from Thailand are quiet and shy by natureDeven talk and silence can be culturally different58According to the text ,how can people from different cultures understand each other better?ABy sharing different ways of life. BBy accepting different habits.CBy recognizing different values. DBy speaking each others languages.59What would be the best title for the text?AMulticultural Environment. BCross-Cultural Differences. CHow to Understand Each Other. DHow to Build Up a Relationship.5659 ADCB *結(jié)束 以下短文共有10處錯(cuò)誤，每處錯(cuò)誤及修改均僅限一詞； 增加：在缺詞處加一個(gè)漏詞符號(hào)（），并在其下面寫(xiě)出該加的詞。 修改：在錯(cuò)的詞下劃一橫線(xiàn)，并在該詞下面寫(xiě)出修改后的詞。 刪除：把多余的詞用斜線(xiàn)（）劃掉。注意：1. 每處錯(cuò)誤及修改均僅限一詞2. 只允許修改10處，多者（從第11處起）不計(jì)分。 Last weekend we went mountain-climbing. Even the heavy rain in the morning could not prevent us go. Setting off very early, we went along an extreme narrow road, all in high spirits. On every side of the road were green fields and some farm house. We could hear the sound of the rain and our footsteps mixing with our laughter. At noon we reached top of the mountain. That surprised us most was the beauty of the scenery there. After having a short rest and sharing with the food we had bought, we started going down. It rained even harder. We are wet to the skin, and we still sang and laughed happily.短文改錯(cuò)Last weekend we went mountain-climbing. Even the heavy rain in the morning could not prevent us go.

Fear producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on childs play.Each of us had a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes . “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment（蠶食）?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods.Without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fine ,but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive（認(rèn)知的）skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parentsand they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters（培養(yǎng)）leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child, The three year old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more.Kids are not to blame. They are over protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite（儀式）of passage.Everyone from developers to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that cement（增強(qiáng)）love, respect and need for the landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.60According to Paragraph 2,the writer thinks that_.Awe are the last generation to experience nature.Bthe author of Last Child in the Woodsdont defend parks against encroachmentCwithout having a nature experience, kids are missing out a huge enrichment of their livesDchildren should grow up to be protectors of nature61According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will .Akeep a high sense of wonderBbe over protected by their parentsCbe less healthy both physically and mentallyDchange wild places and creatures for the better62According to the author, childrens breaking an arm is .Athe fault on the part of their parentsBthe natural experience in their growing upCthe result of their own carelessness in playDthe effect of their repetitive stress from computers63In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to .Ablame children for getting lost in computer games Bencourage children to protect parks from encroachmentCshow his concern about childrens lack of experience in natureDinspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around6063 DCBC *結(jié)束書(shū)面表達(dá)學(xué)校即將舉行以“Turning a Bad Mood into a Good One”為題目的作文比賽，請(qǐng)按下列要求寫(xiě)一篇100詞左右的記述文或議論文。記敘文議論文發(fā)生的具體事件對(duì)你的心情有何影響你如何應(yīng)對(duì)好心情的重要性產(chǎn)生壞心情的原因應(yīng)該如何調(diào)整心情T(mén)urning a Bad Mood into a Good One 【參考范文】寫(xiě)作Turning a Bad Mood into a Good One It is very important for us to have a good mood in our daily life. If you have a good mood, you will be happy with everything in the world. Most importantly, you will have an optimistic effect on the people around you. We all will live a harmonious and happy life. It is also good for your health. However, sometimes when you meet with some difficulties, when you quarrel with others or when you fail to do something, you may have a bad mood. If so, you should get rid of it as soon as possible. As we all know, every thing has its two sides. So you should think more about its bright side. We are sure that everything will be better with time going by. Remember :Only you can make yourself happy. I hope that everyone has a good mood every day!*結(jié)束Terraforming (Earth-forming) other planets, also known as planetary engineering (行星工程), seems like a task still centuries away for mankind to accomplish. However, it is a vigorous topic that attracts both popular and scientific interest. Why should the possibility of terraforming other planets be studied when it may be centuries before we know enough to even decide if its a good idea?Mankind is getting more and more hard facts about other planets. The atmosphere of Venus has been explored; robots have surveyed the surface of Mars; Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn have been studied by spacecraft. Speculations have been answered; new questions have been raised, and enough hard data is right now becoming available to allow us to make the first attempt of planetary engineering.In the past, people with excellent ideas about terraforming have kept them to themselves, or buried them in a desk drawer because they did not realize that anyone else was interested. But now, a wide circle of people has begun to do this kind of work. For instance, NASA funded a project on transforming Mars.There are several strong reasons which demand that the possibilities of terraforming be studied carefully. First, its an exciting idea of a possible future for human beings. Such thinking has a valuable role in providing options for our future directions. Secondly, the techniques of terraforming will also help contemporary technologies in weather and climate control. Thirdly, such study may assist us in detecting any possible existence of extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI, The Search for Extraterrsstial Intelligence, 地外文明搜索) and alien (異己的) civilizations on other planets.Though the mission is far beyond our reach at the moment, we should at least keep our options open. Through debate and study on this subject, the possibility of rebuilding other planets to make them suitable homes for people may come true some day in the future.64.According to the context, whats the meaning of the word “speculation” in paragraph 2?A. The act of discussing something with a group of people.B. The act of studying and researching.C. The act of guessing without knowing all the facts about something.D. The acting of writing letters to a certain organization.65. Why did people keep the idea of terraforming to themselves in the past?A. They thought no one else would show interest in the idea.B. They gradually came to find the idea crazy.C. They thought the idea would never come true.D. They had few resources for further study on this topic.66. Which is NOT the reason to support the study of terraforming?A. Even if we dont succeed in terraforming, such study may help us to better understand technologies such as climate and weather control.B. Such study may explore a new direction of development for human beings.C. Such study may enable us to find the lives on other planets.D. As the resources on Earth are being drained, its very urgent to study how to migrate (遷移) to other planets.67. Whats the main idea of the article?A. Its highly possible that terraforming other planets will come true so we should increase investing in this program.B. Even if the idea of terraforming other planets may take centuries to realize, we have many reasons to support such studies. C. Terraforming other planets is the best option for human beings future. D. More and more people are taking planetary engineering as their occupation. 6467 CADB*結(jié)束
