(2014·南通第一次调研)Now ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )came great news! It came from a neighboring state, where the family's only surviving relative lived. It was Sally's relative — a distant relative by the name of Tilbury Foster, seventy and single. Tilbury now wrote to Sally, saying he should shortly die, and should leave him thirty thousand dollars, cash; not for love, but because money had given him most of his troubles, and he wished to place it where there was good hope that it would continue its evil work. The bequest would be found in his will, and would be officially handed over provided that Sally should be able to prove to the executors (遗嘱执行人).
As soon as Al ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eck had partially recovered from the strong emotions created by the letter, she sent someone to the relative's home and subscribed for the local paper.
For the rest of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) day Sally made confusion with his books, and Aleck could not keep her mind on her affairs, not even take up a flower pot or book or a stick of wood without forgetting what she had intended to do with it. For both were dreaming.
“Thirty thousand dollars!”
All day long Aleck wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s absorbed in planning how to invest it, Sally in planning how to spend it.
There was no romance ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )reading that night. The children took themselves away early, for their parents were silent, disturbed, and strangely unentertaining. Two pencils had been busy during that hour — note making; in the way of plans. It was Sally who broke the stillness at last. He said, with excitement, “Ah, it'll be grand, Aleck! Out of the first thousand we'll have a horse and a buggy for summer, and a cutter and a skin lap robe for winter.”
Aleck responded with decision and calmness.
“You can spend a pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rt of it. But the whole of the capital must be put right to work.”
“Why, yes, yes, of course. Have you got it invested yet?”
“No, there's no h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )urry about that; I must look around first, and think, er ... I've turned it over twice; once in oil and once in wheat.”
“Why, Aleck, it's splendid! What does it amount to?”
“I think — well, to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )be on the safe side, about a hundred and eighty thousand clear, though it will probably be more.”
“My! Isn't it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) wonderful Good heaven! Luck has come our way at last, Aleck!”
Then they went ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )up to bed, but they left the candle burning in the sitting room. They did not remember until they were undressed; then Sally was for letting it burn; he said they could afford it, if it was a thousand. But Aleck went down and put it out.
A good job, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )too; for on her way back she hit on a scheme that would turn the hundred and eighty thousand into half a million before it had had time to get cold.
语篇解读:本文为一篇记叙文。本文讲述了一个关 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )于钱的故事:为了继续获利,Tilbury将他的三万美元作为遗产给了Sally——他的远房亲戚,不是因为爱,而是想让他们投资以继续获利。在获得支票后,这对夫妻整天沉浸在投资获得高额回报的梦想中。
5.Why would Tilbury like to give all his money to Sally
A.Because Sally was Tilbury's only relative alive.
B.Because Tilbury loved Sally and his family deeply.
C.Because Tilbury wanted his money to continue its function.
D.Because Sally and his wife are good at investing.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段第四句中“... leave him thirty thousand dollars, cash; not for love ...hope that it would continue its evil work”可知,不是为了爱,而是想要继续投资获利,Tilbury想把他的所有钱给Sally。故C项正确。
6.The underlined wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rd “bequest” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
A.a gift of personal property by will
B.a proof of a person's identity
C.a method of getting money
D.a reason for giving money
解析:选A 词义猜测题。根据第一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段最后一句中“... would be found in his will ... should be able to prove to the executors (遗嘱执行人)”可知,该词意为“遗产”,即“在遗嘱中声明的个人财产”。故A项正确。
7.What do we know ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) about Sally and his wife after receiving the letter
A.They were in deep sorrow and stayed up all night long.
B.They cared little about the bequest and lived their life as usual.
C.They paid a visit to Tilbury to confirm the truth of the letter.
D.They had a big ambition to invest the money and make huge profits.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第五段中“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )... Aleck was absorbed in planning how to invest it ...”以及第十段中“... I've turned it over twice;once in oil and once in wheat.”可知,两人在得到钱后迫切希望投资以获得高额利润。故D项正确。
8.Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A.Thrilling News
B.Sally's Distant Relative
C.The $30,000 Bequest
D.A Smart Investment
解析:选C 标题归纳题。通读全文可知 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ),全文围绕一对夫妻得到远房亲戚的三万美元支票展开,叙述了他们意外得到这笔款后的种种表现。故C项适合作为文章标题。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
(2014·江苏四校质量调研)Ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ny countries have passed safety laws that require seat belts in vehicles. A modern three point seat belt, also called a safety belt, is a harness to prevent the driver or a passenger from flying forward and hitting hard against the interior of a vehicle during a collision. A modern seat belt will help to position you properly to gain maximum benefit from your car's airbags that will inflate (使充气) during a collision. Using a seat belt also prevents you from being ejected (弹出) from a car into the path of oncoming traffic. Research shows that when you wear a modern seat belt, you reduce the risk of death or serious injury by 70% or more during an auto accident.
Seat belts have existe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d in different forms since the early days of automobiles, and they have changed from a single lap belt to the three point seat belt we use today. In 1911 the first airplane seat belt was installed. Then, in the 1920's they were used in racecars. By the 1930s, a group of American physicians created lap belts for their own vehicles and urged vehicle manufacturers to provide seat belts on all vehicles.
Dr.C. Hunter Shelden m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ade a major contribution to our safety with his article in the November 5,1955 Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). He strongly encouraged the manufacture and use of door locks, airbags, and retractable (伸缩式的) seat belts, like the ones we use today. The modern three point seat belt, including a lap belt and a shoulder belt, was introduced as standard equipment on Volvo cars in 1959.
In 1970, the state o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f Victoria in Australia made the wearing of a seat belt compulsory for every car driver and front seat passenger. Today many countries have also mandated (授权) the use of five point safety harnesses for carefully designed child safety seats that can protect a child during a serious car accident.
An airbag is a Supplem ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ental Restraint System, or SRS, and consists of a rapidly inflatable restraint cushion that works together with a seat belt to protect you during a collision. Modern cars often contain several airbags in various locations. Since airbags can only inflate once and will quickly deflate after the initial impact, they will not provide any protection for you during a secondary collision.
The inflation of airb ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ag can protect or hurt you. The risk zone for a driver's airbag is the first 8 centimeters from its pre inflation location. While driving, you should remain about 25 centimeters from the airbag in the center of the wheel. As a driver, wear your seat belt and make sure children correctly use their seat belts. Failure to wear a seat belt properly means the airbags in your car might injure or even kill you during an accident.
An essential ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )part of your safe driving skills is the habit of making sure that you and each of your passengers are always properly positioned and wearing a seat belt. There are many wonderful benefits of being able to drive a car, but there are also severe consequences during an accident for anyone who chooses not to wear a seat belt.

D.the US was the first ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) country to require by law that car drivers and front seat passengers wear their seat belts
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“Research shows that when you wear a modern seat belt, you reduce the risk of death or serious injury by 70% or more during an auto accident.”可知,A、C两项表述错误;根据第二段最后一句“... a group of American physicians created lap belts for their own vehicles and urged vehicle manufacturers to provide seat belts on all vehicles.”可知,B项表述正确。根据第四段第一句“In 1970, the state of Victoria in Australia made the wearing of a seat belt compulsory for every car driver and front seat passenger.”可知,D项表述错误。故答案选B。

Ⅲ.任务型阅读
(2014·镇江高三第二学期五校联考)P ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )assion has somehow become a funny thing. At first it's commonly defined as a love you have for something; something you may do during your free time. But today, passion goes beyond that. With people living the seemingly perfect life, passion has become the gateway to freedom, the ability to design and create the lifestyle you wanted. It is the fire that burns inside of you. It makes everything in life feel right and meaningful and it gives you a sense of identity.
But people today have some misunderstandings of what passion is.
You have to be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) extremely good at it. How often is it today that you hear of this or that inspiring guy who created a business out of passion or does what he loves every day It's easy to think that that person is really good at what he does. Absolutely right Not really. Passion isn't a competition where you keep getting better and then show off to people how great you are. Passion is a feeling. Like love, when it comes to you, you enjoy it and let it flow. It is this feeling that is all you need.
It has to be accepta ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ble in the eyes of others. Some people think that passion needs to be acceptable, and it must meet the expectations of others or you may come across as crazy. It also has to be acceptable for the possible future of making a living out of it. Again, no. Passion can be anything you want. As long as you attain that special feeling which makes everything alright in life, it's absolutely okay. Nothing else matters then.
It will make you mon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ey. Inspiring as it is to hear of people making a full time income from what they love, the truth is, it's not guaranteed that passion can make money for you. Do you think people would want to pay you if your passion is say, sitting in front of the TV eating chips Doubtful. There is a veritable gap which your passion needs to cross to enter the world where rules of life and society apply. And this gap requires a lot of effort and creative thinking to cross.
Passion is simply ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )you. It's your choice to start finding one and holding on to it. It can and will give you that special feeling and raise you to greatness. With a little effort, you can easily find one. And it's something you'll never forget in life.
