广西省北海市2014高考英语阅读理解巩固全程训练（3）及答案
【湖北省2014高考英语《考试大纲》调研卷二模试题】C
Losing your luggage ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on a flight could soon be a thing of the past after an airline developed a bag that is impossible to lose. According to the latest industry figures, about 4 pieces of luggage will be lost on the average Boeing 747 flight. Passengers are most likely to lose a bag when changing flights,especially if the connection time is short.
One of the major reas ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ons for luggage being lost is that the paper tags carrying the bar code(条形码)are ripped off as cases are shunted along conveyor belts to the aircraft. It was this that led to the loss of thousands of bags at London's Heathrow Airport in March 2008.
This luggage technolo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gy, known as Bag2Go, involves fixing a satellite tracker and a bar code onto the suitcase. Using a smartphone, a passenger sends details of their flight to the airline which in turn sends back a bar code which is shown on the display unit of the case. Each bar code is unique carrying details of the traveller, flight and destination.
Once on board ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a plane, a passenger can use a smartphone application to check that the bag is in place and inform flight crew if it's not there. Should the bag be loaded onto the wrong plane, satellite technology and the bar code means that it will be easily traced. It will enable the case to be delivered to the correct destination and returned to its owner.
At the same time, t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he passenger can keep track of the bag with the help of a mobile phone application, which has a number of functions, including informing a passenger if somebody tries to tamper(胡乱摆弄)with the bag.
The technology is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) still being developed by Airbus, T-Systems, a telecommunications company and RIMOWA, a suitcase manufacturer.
Passengers will b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e able to buy the bags, although renting them is another possibility. The advanced technology means that there may be no luggage conveyor belts in our future, as the satellite technology could mean bags are transported independently and directly from your house to the airplane's hold, and finally to your hotel.
59. What problem is the luggage technology meant to solve
A. The problem of delayed flights.
B. The problem of too much luggage on board.
C. The problem of boarding the wrong flight.
D. The problem of missing one’s luggage.
60. What do we know about "Bag2Go" according to the passage
A. It is equipped with a satellite tracker and a bar code.
B. Passengers can have their luggage at hand when boarding the plane.
C. It is only designed to get the lost luggage back.
D. It can transport your luggage directly to your hotel.
61. What information i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s carried on the bar code mentioned in Paragraph 3
A. The details of what is put inside the luggage.
B. The details of the traveller, flight and destination.
C. When and where the passenger can change flights.
D. Introduction of the Boeing 747 flight.
62. What will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) happen to a suitcase with the new bar code when it's loaded onto the wrong plane
A. The fligh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t crew will inform the passenger that the bag is not in place.
B. No one will be able to tamper with the bag once it's traced.
C. The case will be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) delivered to the correct destination and returned to its owner.
D. The satellite tr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )acker will send out warning message to the airport.

Blind imitation (模仿)is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth. Imitation appears attractive: to those who know their strength. Imitation is unacceptable.
In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
In the field of ent ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.
Syudy your role ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not server. Then you can say,” I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors” tragedies and tory, and know that they are cheering on.
( ) 1.Imitation proves useful when you .
A. know you are unique
B. lose the balance of life
C. begin to learn something new
D. get tired of routine practice
( ) 2. To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should________.
A. forget daily fear and pain
B. choose the right example
C. ask others for decisions
D. stay away from stars
( ) 3.Acording to the author. The world moves on because of those who are .
A. desperate to intruence others with their knowledge
B. ready to turn their original ideas into reality
C. eager to discover what their ancestors did
D. willing to accept others’ ideas
( ) 4.The trouble a creator faces is .
A. the lack of strong motivation
B. the absence of practical ideas
C. how to search for more materials
D. how to use imagination creatively
( ) 5. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage
A. To highlight the importance of creatively.
B. To criticize the characters of role models.
C. To compare imitation with creation.
D. To explain the meaning of success.

【广西省南宁市2014高考英语模拟试题】B
One cold winter day, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )I found myself downtown, my head hanging. I’d just got to know the promotion I was hoping for had gone to another person. A year’s worth of hard work had come to nothing.
Worse than all ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that, I was meeting my wife, and I would have to look into those hopeful, ever supportive eyes and watch the light go out of them as I told her how I had failed to reach yet another goal.
My wife stood there ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), moving from one foot to the other to stay warm. I immediately noticed her coat, years out of style and beginning to grow threadbare (磨薄的) at the edges, and her shoes that were not made for such harsh weather. I knew that the dreams she had had in her heart when we first married had not disappeared, but they had been reduced to more modest hopes.
I stood there holdi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng her against the cold as I explained what had happened, and she took it all in with grace and love that would not allow a trace of blame aimed at me. She didn’t have to. I felt enough of it for both of us. As we walked toward the bus stop, I couldn’t contain it any longer.
“Why does it have to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) be like this ” I said out loud. “Why do we have to be stuck renting a tiny house in a poor neighborhood Why does my family have to live on beans and rice and bread Why do we have to wear the same clothes we bought years ago Why am I down to my last five dollars every payday ”
I was ready to give up ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) when I heard the voice uttered softly beside me, “God, I wish I had that guy’s problems.” It was one of the homeless people who hung out by the river surviving on handouts(施舍).
In that instant I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )came to realize all the blessings that had been given to me, and all the gifts I’d taken for granted and ignored. As I looked over and stared at my wife trembling in the cold, I realized I had a wife who loved me, a family I loved, a job that kept us going, and hopes and dreams for the future that had never been erased.
There was a silent ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )question I asked her, and she instantly understood what I wanted to do. She nodded, and I stepped toward the man who had spoken those words. I reached into my pocket, pulled out my last five dollars, and put them into his hand.
Then I rejoined my w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ife and the two of us walked down the street, the warmth in our hearts keeping us safe from even the bitterest cold.
60. What made the writer sad that day
A. He wasn’t promoted to a higher position.
B. He didn’t get paid for a year of hard work.
C. He was laid off beyond expectation.
D. He couldn’t bear the cold.
61. The writer suddenly asked a lot of questions because ________.
A. he had had enough of his wife
B. he almost collapsed under the pressure of life
C. he was angry with the stranger at the bus stop
D. he was determined to challenge his terrible life
62. The words of the homeless man made the writer realize ________.
A. he might beco ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me a beggar in the future B. he couldn’t give up his present job
C. he was a lucky ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) person in the world D. he still had money to help others
63. What does the “ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )silent question” in the last but one paragraph mean
A. To ask for the stranger’s advice. B. To buy some clothes.
C. To give so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me money to the homeless man. D. To ask the writer’s boss for a promotion.

[科普知识型阅读理解(二)]----- (三)
Housed in Mil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an, one of Europe's dirtiest cities, Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece The Last Supper still faces a threat from air pollution, researchers say, despite preventative measures that have significantly decreased pollutants in the church where the famous painting is on display.
In 2009, Italian authorities installed a heating, ventilation (通风) and air conditioning system to protect the painting from Milan's polluted air. To see whether the system could improve air quality, a team of researchers led by Constantinos Sioutas, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Southern California, placed two air quality monitors inside the church for a year to collect samples from around painting. Results showed the levels of fine and coarse particulates were reduced near the painting by 88 percent and 94 percent, respectively, compared with the corresponding outdoor levels. “It's a spectacular reduction，” Sioutas said in a statement. “It is, frankly, very impressive.”
Although the research ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers applauded the successful decrease in particulates around da Vinci's painting, they warned that indoor sources of pollution may still pose a threat to the priceless painting. Fatty lipids (油脂) from the skin of customers in the church appeared in significant quantities around the painting, despite the fact that visitors getting access to the artwork are strictly regulated.
Only a few visitors ar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e allowed inside the church at a time, and they enter the building and can stay for only 15 minutes each. However, fatty lipids from visitors' skin can combine with dust in the air and pollute the painting if they come in contact with it, says study researcher Nancy Daher of the University of Southern California.
Even previous restorations of the painting may pollute its surface, Daher said. Tiny particulates of the wax applied during early repair efforts can be emitted from the painting, get into the air and tarnish (使失去光泽) the painting in the same manner as the fatty lipids.
The researchers noted that their air sample analysis could be used as a point of reference for future studies aimed at protecting valuable artwork and artefacts.
1．What does the underl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ined word “particulates” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．The smallest parts of a chemical substance.
B．Things dirtier than usual.
C．Certain types of gas.
D．Extremely small pieces of dirt, which cause serious pollution.
2．According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the text, the following factors pollute the painting EXCEPT ________．
A．fatty lipids from the skin
B．tiny particles of the wax
C．breath of the visitors
D．dust in the air
3．According to the researchers, which of the following is NOT true of their air sample analysis
A. The air sampl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e analysis was got by gathering air in the church for a year.
B．The air sample anal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ysis showed that the painting was completely away from air pollution.
C．The air sample an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )alysis can be helpful for future studies protecting valuable artwork.
D．The air sample ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )analysis showed that the particulates around da Vinci's painting were decreased successfully.
4．What can be the best title of the text
A．How to decrease levels of particulates effectively
B．The famous painting —da Vinci's The Last Supper
C．Keeping air pollution from damaging da Vinci's The Last Supper
D．How to protect artwork in households
(三)
【要点综述】保存在意大利米兰市一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )家教堂的达·芬奇名画《最后的晚餐》受到空气污染的影响。虽采取了措施使教堂空气质量得到提高，但仍存在一些污染隐患。
1．D 词义猜测题。综合分析文章及该词所在句子，可推知该词意为“颗粒(污染)物”。
2．C 细节理解题。根据文章信息可知，对名画《最后的晚餐》带来污染的因素主要有参观者皮肤上的油脂、修复时产生的蜡颗粒及空气中的灰尘等。
3．B 细节理解题。从文章第一、二段可知，虽然教堂室内环境大为改善，但这幅伟大的画作仍受到各种污染物的威胁。
4．C 主旨大意题。综合分析文章可知，本文主要介绍如何保护达·芬奇的名画《最后的晚餐》免受污染物的影响，故C项为标题最佳。

In the fall of 1 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )985. I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.
My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.
Then I got marr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ied with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.
You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 81. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester.
The hardest part ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.
In 2007, I graduate ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！
I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember；little steps add up to big dreams.
( ) 1. When ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the author went to Howard University, her dream was tobe
A. a writer
B. a teacher
C. a judge
D. a doctor
( ) 2. Why did the author quit school in her second year of college
A. She wanted to study by herself.
B. She fell in love and got married.
C. She suffered from a serious illness.
D. She decided to look after her grandma.
( ) 3. What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5
She was busy yet happy with her family life.
She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.
She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.
She was too confused to make a correct choice.
( ) 4. What dose ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph
Failure is the mother of success.
Little by little, one goes far.
Every coin has two sides.
Well begun, half done.
( ) 5.Which of the following can best describe the author
Caring and determine.
Honest and responsible.
Ambitious and sensitive.
Innocent and single-minded.

Happy birthday! D ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o birthday really make people happy Of course they do. Birthday celebrate the day when we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggest another year of growth and maturity(成熟) — or so we hope. We all like to imagine that we are getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. But growing old That is a different story.
Growing old is n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ot exactly for people in youth-oriented American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “You’re young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”.
Many older Americ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden. Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by. Retirement at the age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care, and housing. Some even experience age discrimination. American sociologist Pat Moore once dressed up like an older person and wandered in city streets. She was often treated rudely -- even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.
Unfortunately ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), the elderly population in America is increasing fast. Why People are living longer. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly entering the group of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles(皱纹) are “in”. Marketing experts are ready noticing this growing group of consumers.
64. We can infer from the second paragraph that ________.
A. young people lack experience and wisdom
B. American older people often joke about their old age
C. American culture is very young
D. different countries have different opinions on the old age
65. What does the first sentence in the third paragraph mean
A. the golden y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ears can make the old earn lots of money and receive good medical care
B. the old in America ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )are leading a hard life without good nutrition, medical care or housing
C. the old in America have to retire at the age of 65
D. American social security benefits are not good
66. What does the underlined word “in” in the last paragraph mean
A. serious B. cool C. disappearing slowly D. growing fast
67. According to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )his passage, which of the following statement is true
A. the young are much more respected than the old in America.
B. the old are much more respected than the young in America.
C. growing old makes people feel proud in America.
D. the young are often discriminated in America

In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
In the field of ent ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.
Syudy your role ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not server. Then you can say,” I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors” tragedies and tory, and know that they are cheering on.
( ) 1.Imitation proves useful when you .
A. know you are unique
B. lose the balance of life
C. begin to learn something new
D. get tired of routine practice
( ) 2. To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should________.

A. desperate to intruence others with their knowledge
B. ready to turn their original ideas into reality

( ) 4.The trouble a creator faces is .

【广西省南宁市2014高考英语模拟试题】B
One cold winter day, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )I found myself downtown, my head hanging. I’d just got to know the promotion I was hoping for had gone to another person. A year’s worth of hard work had come to nothing.
Worse than all ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that, I was meeting my wife, and I would have to look into those hopeful, ever supportive eyes and watch the light go out of them as I told her how I had failed to reach yet another goal.
My wife stood there ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), moving from one foot to the other to stay warm. I immediately noticed her coat, years out of style and beginning to grow threadbare (磨薄的) at the edges, and her shoes that were not made for such harsh weather. I knew that the dreams she had had in her heart when we first married had not disappeared, but they had been reduced to more modest hopes.
I stood there holdi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng her against the cold as I explained what had happened, and she took it all in with grace and love that would not allow a trace of blame aimed at me. She didn’t have to. I felt enough of it for both of us. As we walked toward the bus stop, I couldn’t contain it any longer.
“Why does it have to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) be like this ” I said out loud. “Why do we have to be stuck renting a tiny house in a poor neighborhood Why does my family have to live on beans and rice and bread Why do we have to wear the same clothes we bought years ago Why am I down to my last five dollars every payday ”
I was ready to give up ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) when I heard the voice uttered softly beside me, “God, I wish I had that guy’s problems.” It was one of the homeless people who hung out by the river surviving on handouts(施舍).
In that instant I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )came to realize all the blessings that had been given to me, and all the gifts I’d taken for granted and ignored. As I looked over and stared at my wife trembling in the cold, I realized I had a wife who loved me, a family I loved, a job that kept us going, and hopes and dreams for the future that had never been erased.
There was a silent ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )question I asked her, and she instantly understood what I wanted to do. She nodded, and I stepped toward the man who had spoken those words. I reached into my pocket, pulled out my last five dollars, and put them into his hand.
Then I rejoined my w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ife and the two of us walked down the street, the warmth in our hearts keeping us safe from even the bitterest cold.

A. He wasn’t promoted to a higher position.

[科普知识型阅读理解(二)]----- (三)
Housed in Mil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an, one of Europe's dirtiest cities, Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece The Last Supper still faces a threat from air pollution, researchers say, despite preventative measures that have significantly decreased pollutants in the church where the famous painting is on display.
In 2009, Italian authorities installed a heating, ventilation (通风) and air conditioning system to protect the painting from Milan's polluted air. To see whether the system could improve air quality, a team of researchers led by Constantinos Sioutas, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Southern California, placed two air quality monitors inside the church for a year to collect samples from around painting. Results showed the levels of fine and coarse particulates were reduced near the painting by 88 percent and 94 percent, respectively, compared with the corresponding outdoor levels. “It's a spectacular reduction，” Sioutas said in a statement. “It is, frankly, very impressive.”
Although the research ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers applauded the successful decrease in particulates around da Vinci's painting, they warned that indoor sources of pollution may still pose a threat to the priceless painting. Fatty lipids (油脂) from the skin of customers in the church appeared in significant quantities around the painting, despite the fact that visitors getting access to the artwork are strictly regulated.
Only a few visitors ar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e allowed inside the church at a time, and they enter the building and can stay for only 15 minutes each. However, fatty lipids from visitors' skin can combine with dust in the air and pollute the painting if they come in contact with it, says study researcher Nancy Daher of the University of Southern California.
Even previous restorations of the painting may pollute its surface, Daher said. Tiny particulates of the wax applied during early repair efforts can be emitted from the painting, get into the air and tarnish (使失去光泽) the painting in the same manner as the fatty lipids.
The researchers noted that their air sample analysis could be used as a point of reference for future studies aimed at protecting valuable artwork and artefacts.
1．What does the underl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ined word “particulates” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．The smallest parts of a chemical substance.
B．Things dirtier than usual.
C．Certain types of gas.
D．Extremely small pieces of dirt, which cause serious pollution.
2．According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the text, the following factors pollute the painting EXCEPT ________．
A．fatty lipids from the skin
B．tiny particles of the wax
C．breath of the visitors
D．dust in the air
3．According to the researchers, which of the following is NOT true of their air sample analysis
A. The air sampl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e analysis was got by gathering air in the church for a year.
B．The air sample anal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ysis showed that the painting was completely away from air pollution.
C．The air sample an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )alysis can be helpful for future studies protecting valuable artwork.
D．The air sample ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )analysis showed that the particulates around da Vinci's painting were decreased successfully.
4．What can be the best title of the text
A．How to decrease levels of particulates effectively
B．The famous painting —da Vinci's The Last Supper
C．Keeping air pollution from damaging da Vinci's The Last Supper
D．How to protect artwork in households

【要点综述】保存在意大利米兰市一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )家教堂的达·芬奇名画《最后的晚餐》受到空气污染的影响。虽采取了措施使教堂空气质量得到提高，但仍存在一些污染隐患。
1．D 词义猜测题。综合分析文章及该词所在句子，可推知该词意为“颗粒(污染)物”。
2．C 细节理解题。根据文章信息可知，对名画《最后的晚餐》带来污染的因素主要有参观者皮肤上的油脂、修复时产生的蜡颗粒及空气中的灰尘等。
3．B 细节理解题。从文章第一、二段可知，虽然教堂室内环境大为改善，但这幅伟大的画作仍受到各种污染物的威胁。

In the fall of 1 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )985. I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.
My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.
Then I got marr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ied with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.
You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 81. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester.
The hardest part ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.
In 2007, I graduate ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！
I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember；little steps add up to big dreams.

C. a judge
D. a doctor
( ) 2. Why did the author quit school in her second year of college
A. She wanted to study by herself.
B. She fell in love and got married.

( ) 3. What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5
She was busy yet happy with her family life.
She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.
She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.
She was too confused to make a correct choice.
( ) 4. What dose ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph
Failure is the mother of success.
Little by little, one goes far.
Every coin has two sides.
Well begun, half done.
( ) 5.Which of the following can best describe the author
Caring and determine.
Honest and responsible.
Ambitious and sensitive.
Innocent and single-minded.

【广西省南宁市2014高考英语模拟试题】C
Happy birthday! D ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o birthday really make people happy Of course they do. Birthday celebrate the day when we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggest another year of growth and maturity(成熟) — or so we hope. We all like to imagine that we are getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. But growing old That is a different story.
Growing old is n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ot exactly for people in youth-oriented American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “You’re young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”.
Many older Americ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden. Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by. Retirement at the age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care, and housing. Some even experience age discrimination. American sociologist Pat Moore once dressed up like an older person and wandered in city streets. She was often treated rudely -- even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.
Unfortunately ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), the elderly population in America is increasing fast. Why People are living longer. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly entering the group of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles(皱纹) are “in”. Marketing experts are ready noticing this growing group of consumers.
64. We can infer from the second paragraph that ________.
A. young people lack experience and wisdom
B. American older people often joke about their old age
C. American culture is very young
D. different countries have different opinions on the old age
65. What does the first sentence in the third paragraph mean
A. the golden y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ears can make the old earn lots of money and receive good medical care
B. the old in America ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )are leading a hard life without good nutrition, medical care or housing
C. the old in America have to retire at the age of 65
D. American social security benefits are not good
66. What does the underlined word “in” in the last paragraph mean
A. serious B. cool C. disappearing slowly D. growing fast
67. According to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )his passage, which of the following statement is true
A. the young are much more respected than the old in America.
B. the old are much more respected than the young in America.
C. growing old makes people feel proud in America.
D. the young are often discriminated in America
