For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
Yo-Yo Ma is one of th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e most gifted cellists (大提琴手) in the world today. He is known internationally for not only the many classical pieces he performs but also his willingness to think outside of the box musically.
Yo-Yo Ma has recorde ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d over 75 albums; many of them strictly considered classical in arrangement, while others differ greatly from classical music. He’s worked with musicians like Bobby Mcferrin and Sting, and explored musical forms that range from traditional Chinese music to bluegrass. His musical explorations, including the scoring or performance in numerous films, have won Ma many awards and honors.
Born to Chin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ese immigrant parents in Paris in 1955, Yo-Yo Ma was already a gifted musician by the time his family moved to the U.S., when he was seven. One of his first performances where he was much noted was a 1962 performance for U.S. President John F. Kennedy. Ma was certainly a genius, appearing on television by the time he was eight and performing with numerous orchestras through his teens.
Like many young ex ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )traordinary musicians, Yo-Yo Ma’s educational path included the study at the distinguished Juilliard School of Music. Unlike geniuses that stay on a singular path, Ma felt that he wanted to expand his education by taking a traditional liberal arts course at first Columbia and then Harvard University, where he received his bachelor’s degree in 1976. He wasn’t always certain that he should continue to pursue his career as a cellist, and refers to hearing the work of Pablo Casals, the famous Spanish cellist, as inspiration to continue his studies and performance.
By the early 198 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )0s, Yo-Yo Ma had become internationally known. He also began to express considerable interest in the possibilities of musical education for children. To that end, he made appearances on Sesame Street and other shows targeted at children.
In 1998, Ma star ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ted the Silk Road Project, which promotes cooperation among artists, including musicians from around the world. His devotion to bringing together the various cultures represented by the ancient Silk Road is expressed in Ma’s political attitude of peace through music. In 2006, the UN Secretary General Kofi Anan named Ma a Peace Ambassador.
Which of the following statements is TRUE about Yo-Yo Ma
A. He has explored a wide range of musical forms.
B. He wasn’t well-known in the U.S. until the 1980s.
C. He is famous only for the classical pieces he performs.
D. He was determined to become a cellist since childhood.
Whose work has had an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )influence on Ma in deciding to pursue a career as a cellist
A. Bobby McFerrin’s. B. Kofi Anan’s. C. Pablo Casals’. D. Sting’s.
68. Through the Silk Road Project, Yo-Yo Ma intended to ___________.
A. continue ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )his studies while performing with musicians all around the world
B. bring to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gether many different cultures represented by the ancient Silk Road
C. become a UN Pea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ce Ambassador by expressing his political attitude of peace
D. promote musical ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) education for children in the countries along the ancient Silk Road
69. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A. To Be Known as Early as Possible
B. Growth Process of a Peace Ambassador
C. University Education: Key Factor to Yo-Yo Ma’s Success
D. A Talented Musician with Sense of Social Responsibility

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
The Child Ego State
The Child ego sta ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )te is a set of behaviors, thoughts and feelings which are replayed from our own childhood.
Perhaps the boss cal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ls us into his or her office, we may immediately get a churning in our stomach and wonder what we have done wrong. If this were explored we might remember the time the head teacher called us in to tell us off. Of course, not everything in the Child ego state is negative. We might go into someone’s house and smell a lovely smell and remember our grandmother’s house when we were little, and all the same warm feelings we had at six years of age may come flooding back.
The Child ego stat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es are constantly being updated. For example, we may meet someone who gives us the permission we needed as a child, and did not get, to be fun and joyous. We may well use that person in our imagination when we are stressed to resist our old ways of thinking that we must work longer and longer hours to keep up with everything. We might ask ourselves “I wonder what X would say now.” Then on hearing the new permissions to relax and take some time out, do just that and then return to the work renewed and ready for the challenge. Afterwards, rather than blaming ourselves for what we did or did not do, what tends to happen is that we automatically start to give ourselves new permissions and take care of ourselves.
Alternatively, we m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ight have had an extremely unpleasant experience yesterday which goes into the Child ego state as an antique memory that stands in the way of our growth. Positive experiences will also go into the Child ego state as antique memories. The positive experiences can then be drawn on to remind us that positive things do happen.
The process of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )analyzing personality in terms of ego states is called structural analysis. It is important to remember that ego states do not have an existence of their own. They are concepts to enable understanding. Therefore it is important to say “I want some fun” rather than “My Child wants some fun.” We may be in our Child ego state when we say this, but saying “I” reminds us to take responsibility for our actions.
1. The writer uses two examples in Paragraph 2 in order to _____.
A. support the idea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in Paragraph 1 B. explain why we become nervous
C. prove the Child eg ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o state is negative D. introduce the point of Paragraph 3
2. By asking “ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )I wonder what X would say now”, we intend to __________.
A. blame ourselves B. accept challenges
C. keep up with everything D. avoid stress
3. According to the passage, the Child ego state __________.
A. shows one’s w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )isdom B. influences one’s actions
C. limits one’s tho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ughts D. exists in one’s childhood
4. The underlined wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rd “this” in the last paragraph refers to __________.
A. structural analy ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sis B. “My Child wants some fun”
C. the Child ego state D. “I want some fun”

The Cave Crawler mining robot
Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world It’s an increasingly urgent question,given the recent high-profile(引人注目的)mining accidents in Sago, W. Va., and Huntington, Utah. A small group of engineers and robotics experts envision(展望)a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work..
One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Carnegie-Mellon University’s www. Robotics Institute. It was called Groundhog and it looked like a golf cart. It used lasers to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines—some of the most dangerous work in the business.
The latest prototype is called Cave Crawler. It’s a bit smaller than Groundhog, and even more advanced. It can take photos and video and has sensors mounted that can detect the presence of dangerous gases. Incredibly, the robot has a real sense of logic. If it comes across an obstacle it gets momentarily confused, it has to think through the process and where to go next, and sometimes it throws a fit just like a real person. www.21cnjy.com
The biggest obstac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le, though, is cost. The original research project was federally funded, but that money has dried up, and it’s not clear where future funding will come from. Partly for that reason, and partly because of advances in safety, mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past. Since 1990, fatalities have declined by 67 percent, and injuries by 51 percent, according to the National Mining Association.
Some experts predict that robots in mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry. The robots do the most repetitive and dangerous jobs, but don’t eliminate the need for human workers.
5.The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog mainly because .
A. it can map abandoned mines
B. the robot has a real sense of logic
C. it can see in the dark tunnel
D. it’s a bit smaller than Groundhog
6.We can infer from the last paragraph that . www.
A. the mine robots will have a very bright future
B. robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industry
C. there will be no need for human workers in mines
D. robots in mines have a long way to go
7. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage
A. High-profile mining accidents in America. www.
B. The development of robot.
C. Could robots replace humans in mines
D. Cave Crawler, the latest robot.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.。
Like many other smal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l boys, I was fascinated by cars, especially because my oldest brother was a bit of a car guy and subscribed to cool magazines like Car and Driver and Motor Trend. Every so often, one of those magazines would run an article on the “Car of the Future”. They featured unconventional things like small nuclear reactors as power sources. Yet, frankly, my car doesn’t do anything that my brother’s Studebaker didn’t do. It goes, it stops, it burns gasoline. I still have to steer it, and it still runs into things if I don’t steer it carefully.
But guess what A ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll of these things are likely to change in the not-so-distant future. It may not burn gasoline, I may not have to steer it, and it may be a lot better at not running into things.
Airbags aren’t the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) be-all and end-all in safety. In fact, considering the recent news about people occasionally being killed by their airbags in low-speed crashes, they obviously still need some development. But they aren’t going away, and in fact, you can expect to see cars appearing with additional, side-impact airbags, something some European car manufacturers already offer.
Better than systems ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to minimize injury in the event of an accident, however, are systems that minimize the likelihood of an accident happening in the first place Future cars may be able to remove many of the major causes of accidents, including drunk-driving, and tailgating (与前车距离过近). Cars could be equipped with sensors that can detect alcohol in a driver’s system and prevent the car from being started, for example. As early as next year, you’ll be able to buy cars with radar-equipped control systems. If the radar determines you’re closing too quickly with the car in front, it will ease up on the throttle（油门）.
Scientists are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) now working on a system that can brake, accelerate and steer a vehicle down a highway on its own. Will cars eventually be able to drive themselves
66. The author was fascinated by cars because ________.
A. other small boys liked to own a car of their own, too
B. he read untraditional things about cars in his brother’s magazines
C. his oldest brother loved to take him to places in his car
D. he often booked cool car magazines himself
67. By saying ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) “my car doesn’t do anything that my brother’s Studebaker didn’t do”, the author means that ________.
A. my car is far better than my brother’s
B. my car is not as good as my brother’s
C. much improvement has been made in the design of cars recently
D. not much has changed in the performance of cars so far
68. Which of the following statements is true of airbags
A. They are going to disappear gradually.
B. They are in need of further improvement.
C. They are a standard feature of European cars.
D. They kill people instead of protecting them in low-speed crashes.
69. According to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )author, what will future cars do if the sensors detect alcohol in the driver’s system
A. They will not start. B. They will ease up on the throttle.
C. They will brake aut ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )omatically. D. They will give a warning in advance.

Nowadays, people i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n China are increasingly interested in celebrating foreign festivals, especially those western festivals.
A survey c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )onducted recently by . showed that among the 18,222 people surveyed 63.90% said celebrating Christmas is just another way of recreation, nothing serious while 17.85% surveyed considered the festival as a fashion act, showing they were not “out”. These two parts clearly indicate the general opinion of the young. 10.45% people involved said the celebration of a religious western festival with so much enthusiasm is absolutely ridiculous pursuit of foreign goodness. Only 7.80% of people define Christmas as a kind of festival colonization(殖民).
The arising of c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )elebrating foreign festivals clearly has something to do with the advancement of China’s economy. In my point view, Christmas and other festivals celebrated in China have difference from the origin. They have lost their religious background and turned into a big occasion to have fun and enjoy life. Shop owners’ pockets are filled, the public’s hunger for happiness is filled, and that is enough. Foreign festivals in China are more like carnivals giving people pleasure and enjoyment.
The crisis of tra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ditional Chinese festivals that are losing their attraction may be linked to the culture tradition and background of the festivals. Most Chinese festival culture is related more or less to real life. “The country is based on its people while the people are relied on their food”.
But the western ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) culture shows much of romance. Some festivals have their religious background while others have much to do with culture and people. At this point, food seems to be too plain. Flowers and chocolates are more welcomed.
Foreign festivals ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in China are celebrated for fun. They give people opportunities to relax and celebrate, to show appreciation and gratefulness. The acceptance of foreign festivals generally depends on the openness of the public, the familiarity with the western culture, and most importantly, on people’s economic status.
1．From the survey we know that among the people surveyed ______.
A．most think celebrating foreign festivals is ridiculous
B．many fear that traditional Chinese festivals will disappear soon
C．some think t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat celebrating foreign festivals is a sign of foreign goodness chasing
D．half think cele ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )brating foreign festivals makes people not go out of fashion
2．The writer thin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ks that foreign festivals celebrated in China ______.
A．have lost their religious background
B．are the same as those celebrated in the West
C．can give more fun than traditional Chinese festivals
D．may reduce the hunger of public people
3．What is the main ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) difference between foreign festivals and traditional Chinese ones
A．Foreign festival ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s can make Chinese shop owners’ pockets full quickly.
B．The food at foreign festivals is too simple.
C．Chinese festivals always have something to do with culture.
D．Foreign f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )estivals are romantic while traditional Chinese ones are connected with reality.
4．Which of the fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )llowing may NOT be the reason why so many people accept foreign festivals
A．People can relax themselves.
B．People can show their thanks to others.
C．Foreign festivals have longer histories than Chinese ones.
D．People have known more about the western culture.

Parents can help ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )their seventh and eighth grade students stand out in and out of their English classroom by introducing them to newspapers. Newspapers not only offer information on current events, but they can also be used to test your child's knowledge of grammar, vocabulary, and more.
Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How
Have your child read ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the first couple of paragraphs of a news story. Ask them to write down all of the important facts, such as who, what, where, when, why and how. This helps parents to see if their children comprehend the basic facts and information they read.
Grammar
Parents can monit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or a child's understanding of grammatical parts of speech (词性) without a grammar textbook. Ask your child to read a paragraph in an article and then list a specific number of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions and the like, which serves more of a test of their grammatical knowledge. Encourage them to list each of these parts of speech in a paragraph. Then, reread the paragraph to see if they missed anything.
Persuasion
Ask your child to s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )elect an advertisement from the newspaper. Have them investigate how specific words or phrases influence their feelings about a particular product. Then, encourage them to create an advertisement of their own for an item they do not like. Tell them not to show their true feelings and try to make people want to buy this unwanted item. After that, ask them to list the persuasive techniques used in their ad.
Facts vs Opinions
Select an editor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ial for your middle schooler to read. Have your child divide a piece of paper into two columns, one marked fact, and the other marked opinion. Have your student decide which column it fits under. This will help your child better understand facts versus opinions. Another related exercise is responding to an editorial. Encourage your child to write letters to the editor or responses to editorials or other articles. Before your child sends his or her letter, check the opinion section to see what requirements there are.
Headlines and Synonyms (同义词)
Ask your middle sc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hooler to rewrite a couple of headlines using the synonyms of the original pare the headlines. Do the original versions or the rewrites sound better This is a great exercise to help students learn synonyms and expand their vocabulary.
If you find y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )our seventh or eighth grade child is struggling with these newspaper activities, it may be an indicator that they have fallen behind in their reading skills. These activities were designed with a seventh or eighth grader in mind; therefore, while they are educational, they should be more of reinforcement (增强) instead of a major reading challenge.
Outline Supporting details
An approach to learning 1 students in seve ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nth and eighth grades to newspapers can be helpful in learning English.
Newspaper 2 ● Ask students to r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ead the first paragraphs of a news story and write down the important and 3 facts to see if they can understand them.● Have students read ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an article and list different parts of speech to improve their understanding of 4 .● Select an ad and ask ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) students to find the persuasive expressions 5 in it, and then create their own ad for a product they dislike.● Select an editori ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )al and have students 6 between facts and opinions. After that encourage them to write a 7 to an editorial. ● Ask studen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts to write a few synonyms and compare them with the 8 headlines to help them with their vocabulary expansion.
Possible results ● It may 9 that a child is poor at reading if he or she has 10 with these activities. ● These activities, designed for special graders, can not be used as a major reading challenge.

Seen from sp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ace the earth is covered with a blue mantle. It is a planet on which the continents(洲，大陆) are dwarfed (相形见绌) by the ocean surrounding them and the vastness of the marine (海洋的) area.
An astonishing 80 percent of all life on earth is to be found hidden beneath the waves and this vast global ocean drives the natural forces which keep life on our planet. The ocean provides necessary sources of protein, energy, minerals and other products and the rolling of the sea across the planet creates over half our oxygen, drives weather systems and natural flows of energy and nutrients around the world, transports water masses many times greater than all the rivers on land combined and keeps the earth suitable for living things to survive. Without the global ocean there would be no life on earth.
It is seriously worrying, then, that we are damaging the ocean on a level that is unimaginable to most people.
We now know that human activity can have a serious influence on the vital forces of our planet. We have fundamentally changed our global climate and are just beginning to understand the consequences of that.
As yet largely unseen, but just as serious, are the influences we are having on the ocean. A healthy ocean has diverse ecosystems and strong and healthy habitats. The actual state of our ocean is a far cry from this natural state.
A lot of pressure is being put directly and indirectly on ocean ecosystems by human activities. Consequently ecosystems are breaking down as marine species are in danger of dying out and ocean habitats are being destroyed. With the decrease in their diversity, ocean ecosystems are losing their natural way of recovery.
We need to defend the ocean now more than ever, because climate change is having a potentially disastrous impact on the marine world.
1、. What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A. What the ocean looks like. B. What the ocean is made up of.
C. What live in the ocean. D. What functions the ocean has.
2、. According to the text, the ocean directly provides people with ____.
A. water forming rivers B. comfortable habitats
C. all the natural forces they need D. driving forces for energy and nutrients
3、. It is not realized by many people that we have ____.
A. done great harm to the ocean B. benefited greatly from the ocean
C. fundamentally changed our global climate
D. begun to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )suffer the consequences of pollution
4、. The best title for this text would be ____.
A. Protecting Our Planet B. Defending Our Ocean
C. Getting to Know Our Planet D. Make Good Use of Our Ocean

Grammy nominated (格 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )莱美奖提名)artist and globally admired DJ and Producer Paul van Dyk continues to lead the electronic music charts and appears at the highpoint of every Top DJ list across the globe. PvD, as his fans have nicknamed him, is currently ranked the World’s No. 1 DJ by DJ Magazine’s “Top 100 DJs poll” for the second successive year.
PvD is well-known as o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne of the hardest working artists, with sold-out tours that cross each continent, headline spots at every major festival, and a hugely successful recording career. With over 3 million albums sold worldwide, van Dyk travels around the world over 16 times each year to sold out performances internationally.
Born in Eisen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )huettenstadt, East Germany, Paul van Dyk grew up in East Berlin. Because his community did not have a true club culture, Paul van Dyk listened to the radio where he discovered his passion for music that extended beyond Techno music—he wanted to create a different, more unique sound. In the early 1990’s Paul van Dyk was performing regularly at various clubs in Berlin before releasing his first album 45 RPM in 1994. But it was the release of his second album Seven Ways that put him into Top 100, followed by the release of his hit single “For An Angel,” which began to earn him praise across the globe. By the time Paul van Dyk released Out There & Back in 2000, it became clear that the Berlin-based musician had far more to offer than his signature club sets that had already defined him as one of the most influential DJs and producers of all time. His first mix CD Politics of Dancing was released in 2001, followed by Global in 2003—a DVD which illustrates his own experiences traveling the world.
56. What activity does this passage introduce to us
A. Paul van Dyk Volume World Tour at Babyface Guangzhou.
B. Grammy Prize Ceremony at Babyface Guangzhou.

【2014高考英语综合能力测试题】
Although bot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h American and British people can generally .understand what each other is saying, sometimes it is necessary to explain some things. Some words or phrases could be taken in a wrong way.
One of the most not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iceable differences is in the spelling of some words. For example, the word "color" in American English becomes "colour" in British English. Another example is the American word "theater" - in British English it becomes "theatre". Other words also have various spelling differences.
Although some ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) words are spelled the same in the two forms of English, they may have different pronunciations. The accent is .put on a different syllable in a word. British People pronounce their numbers differently from American people, especially the big numbers. They tend to add the word "and" between the numbers. American English-speaking people usually say 107 "one hundred seven ", while British English-speaking people say "one hundred and seven".
Sometimes when u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sing the past tense of a verb, "ed" may be used in American English, while "t" is common in British English. An example is "dreamed" and "dreamt".
Vocabulary, o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f course, is a major difference at times. Because of the widespread use of American English, many British people are starting to use some American nouns to replace their British ones. So " lorry" becomes "truck". There are many other words that are being replaced as well. As is often the case, the same words have completely different meanings in the two forms of English. In British English "biscuit" is similar to "cookie", but in American English it is more like a dinner roll.
There are also ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) many other minor differences between the two forms of English. It is interesting to note that many British English-speaking people adore American accents. Likewise, many American English-speaking people love British accents.
26. How many differ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ences between American and British English are mentioned in this passage
A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven.
27. How do America ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n English-speaking people pronounce the number "309"
A. Three hundred and nine.
B. Three hundred and ninth.
C. Three hundred nine.
D. Thirty and nine.
28. Which of th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. American and British people don't like each other's accents.
B. "Biscuit" refers to the same food in the two forms of English.
C. "Lorry" ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in American English becomes "truck" in British English.
D. The difference ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of spelling in the two forms of English is noticeable.
29. According to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )passage, the past tense of the verb "spill" in American English could be _______
A spilled B. spiled C. spillt D. spilt
30. What is the best title of this passage
A. The Differences Between Spoken and Written English
B. The Differences Between American and British English
C. Spelling Is a Noticeable Difference
D. Vocabulary Is a Major Difference
【参考答案】26-30 ACDAB

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Vans, Keds, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Dollies—they sound like the names of rock bands, but if you have teenagers, you'll know they're actually the latest in teenage footwear.
But experts ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )are now warning that the current shoe fashions will be causing teenagers discomfort in the short term and storing up years of foot, knee and back pain in the future.
Here, the experts ide ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ntify the problems caused by teenagers' shoe choice.
KEDS/VANS
Slip-on shoes with el ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )astic (弹性的）sides are particularly popular among teenage boys - with Keds and Vans the most sought-after brands.
The main problem ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is that they are just too flat—so flat that the heel, which strikes the ground first, also becomes damaged and painful.
BALLET PUMPS
The worst shoes of al ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l are such light and thin dolly shoes. The problem is partly their flatness, as with Keds and Vans. However ballet pumps, which have no string or heel, have other specific problems.
“As the shoe has no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fastening device, it relies on the toes to keep the shoe on, causing an awkward gait（步法）, this leads to short- and long-term problems such as calluses（茧子）, heel and knee pain.”
WEDGES AND STILETTOS
These shoes can als ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o cause problems with gait. They may look good, but the heels on these are so high they can force the wearer's body weight forward, making them very unstable.
Teens who wear these ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )shoes regularly are also in danger of joining those millions of women with constant back pain.
SCHOOL SHOES
So what do podi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )atrists（足科医生）have on their wish list, especially for everyday wear
Something in a n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )atural, breathable fabric, with a string to hold it on, with a small heel and a deep toe-box that does not press the toes, such as Clark's, Marks & Spencer or Rhino.
If your teen insists o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n wearing 'bad' shoes, get them some simple foot orthotics(矫形器) in the shoes. These support and correct the movement of the foot and, properly fitted by a podiatrist, can often transform their walk and halt the damage.
1. Of all the sho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es mentioned in the passage, which can cause the worst problems
A. Marks & Spencer. B. Wedges & Stilettos.
C. Keds and Vans. D. Ballet Pumps.
2. Which pair of shoes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) may not be found on the podiatrists’ wish list
A. B. C. D.
3. The underlined word ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) “halt” in the last paragraph probably means _______.
A. increase B. worsen C. stop D. cure
4. From this passage we can infer _______.
A. trendy shoes may ruin teenagers’ health
B. fashionable shoes all have orthotics in them
C. experts are strongly against wearing popular shoes
D. podiatrists are expert at producing branded shoes
5. In which column of Mail Online can you find this passage
A. Sports. B. Science. C. Health. D. Shopping.

【2014高考英语综合能力测试题】
Actually, long-di ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )stance bicycle camping is one of the most pleasurable activities I have ever experienced. I generally sleep poorly at night, but in the woods on a tour, I sleep like a baby, falling asleep with the music of insects. In the morning, I am awakened by the cheeps of birds. I eat a snack before getting up, and then I quickly pack my sleeping bag, air mattress (垫), tent, and other things and get on with my road. I'm slower in the morning, having less speed but a greater desire to stop at pleasant spots and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Traveling by bike allows me to stop anywhere, such as grasslands, lakes, woods, and scenic spots. Near lunch, I find a small grocery and buy some bread, sandwiches and fruit. Then I will find a town park or other shady spots to wait out the high mid-day sun. In the afternoon, my speeds are higher, and I spend less time on stops. In the late afternoon, I start riding more slowly, and I start thinking about where I will stop. I finally find a place in the early evening, cook a simple meal and have a rest. As it starts to get dark, I put up my tent, crawl in and fall asleep.
There are e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )xciting times and difficult times as well. Visiting strange or famous places and accomplishing goals are always exciting to me. I meet and talk with interesting people along the way, sometimes other traveling cyclists. Appreciating beautiful views, meeting wild animals, and traveling up and down hills also stir me up. On the other hand, I may run into a rainy or hot spell(一段时间), have to repair my bike, or just find myself in a bad mood. The problems are infrequent and are easy to deal with. The pleasures remain in my mind for years.
26. We can learn from ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the passage that the author can have a good sleep ______.
A. in a hotel
B. at home
C. in the shade
D. in the woods
27. In the first paragraph, the author tells us that ________.
A. how he sleeps during his travel
B. the route of his bicycle travel
C. why he rides slowly all the time
D. one day’s activities of his bicycle travel
28. It can be inferre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d from the first paragraph that the author ________.
A. cooks a simple lunch
B. likes riding in the woods
C. rides fast in the morning
D. enjoys a free and pleasant journey
29. According to the passage, a cycle tourist may prefer ________.
A. a beautiful view
B. a rainy day

A. make me bored
B. make me excited
C. make me tired
D. make me angry
【参考答案】26-30 DDDAB
本文是一篇游记。作者讲述自己骑自行车旅行的经历。

27. D。主旨大意题。第一段一开始就有清晰 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的时间顺序：at night, in the morning, near lunch, in the afternoon, in the late afternoon最后天变黑，开始睡觉，所以第一段介绍作者一天当中骑车旅行的活动，故选D具有概括性，其它选项比较片面。
28. D。推理判断题。根 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )据第一段中的Traveling by bike allows me to stop anywhere...可知骑自行车旅行可以让作者随时随地停下来欣赏美景。所以作者喜欢这种自由的旅行。

MUMBAI, India — ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )The children in their party clothes on the stage were very excited when they received the award. And the two of them said, "It’s unbelievable!"
Nine-year-old Rub ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ina Ali, and Azharuddin Ismail, 10, were living a very different life and apparently loving every minute of it. The two, some of the child stars of the Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire (《贫民窟的百万富翁》)movie, know the Indian slums very well. That was where they grew up, and it is where they will return at the end of their Hollywood dream trip.
But before going back ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )home, there was an interview with the host, Ryan Seacrest. During the interview they smiled and repeated their disbelief at what was happening to them. To their surprise, their movie won the first place in the Oscars. When the two received the award, it was late morning in the children’s home city of Mumbai, where their family, friends and many fellow residents of the slums watched the results from Hollywood.
"I don’t real ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly know what the Oscars are," Rubina’s mother said. "I’m just glad my daughter looks happy, though she told me she missed Indian food."
"Our children lead ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a dog’s life," Rubina’s mother said, pointing at the rubbish everywhere, the open drains (下水道) and the lack of education opportunities.
In a few days ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) they will be back in Mumbai and back in the slums. Fortunately, according to media reports, the movie’s director, Danny Boyle, has promised to help the children he chose from the slums go to a proper school.

Those who have su ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ffered from insomnia know the sinking feeling of watching the clock tick. Now a new study in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that lying in bed awake may actually contribute to the problem of sleeplessness.
The study of 79 adults ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) (average age 72) with insomnia aimed to determine whether brief behavioral interventions for insomnia would help. Traditional behavioral therapy（疗法）requires at least half a dozen hour-long sessions with a therapist — a costly commitment many patients either can't make or don't have access to. Other options include sleep-aiding medications or supplements. In the current study, the 39 participants in the behavioral therapy group received a 45- to 60-minute instructing session, plus a 30-minute follow-up session and two 20-minute phone calls.
Doctors offered t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he following behavioral interventions for improving sleep: reduce time in bed; get up at the same time every day, regardless of sleep duration; don't go to bed unless sleepy; and don't stay in bed unless asleep.
The other 40 parti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cipants in the study were given printed educational materials about insomnia, which included the same instructions given to the intervention group, but without the individualized sessions with a therapist. Two weeks later, the latter group also got a 10-minute follow-up phone call.
At the end of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )four weeks, the behavioral treatment group was significantly more likely to show improvements in sleep than the printed-materials group. By that time, 55% of those who received behavioral treatment no longer met the criteria for insomnia, compared with 13% of the group that got educational brochures.
The good new ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s comes at the same time as a report on the health effects of insomnia from the U.K.'s Mental Health Foundation. The report, Sleep Matters, suggests a link between insomnia and poor relationships, low energy levels and an inability to concentrate. Poor sleep has already been linked to depression, immune deficiency and heart disease.
What is the meaning of the underlined word “ insomnia”
A. sleeplessness B. depression C. heart disease D. immune deficiency
67. What is the disadvantage of traditional behavioral therapy
A. It can’t help.
B. It costs a lot of money.
C. It requires sessions with a therapist.
D. It includes sleep-aiding medications.
68. How to improve sleep according to the doctor
A. Lying in bed awake.
B. Get up early every day.
C. Don’t go to bed late at night.
D. Don’t stay in bed if you are not asleep.
69. We can learn f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rom the text that insomnia may cause the following results except________.
A. depressi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on B. concentration C. immune deficiency D. heart disease
70. What can we infer from the study
A. The intervention group was not given the printed materials.
B. The latter group of the study was not given follow-up phone calls.
C. The behavioral trea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tment group was less likely to show improvements.
D. The instructing se ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ssion that the intervention group received is most effective.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Britain’s seed b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ank, the only one in the world aiming to collect all of the planet’s wild plant species, has reached its goal of banking 10 percent by 2010．
The Millenniu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m Seed Bank Project, run by Kew Gardens—one of the oldest botanical gardens—will officially deposit the 24,200th species on Thursday, a pink, wild banana from China．
More than 50 countr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ies are now on board with Kew’s giant task but vast places of the globe, including India and Brazil, still need to join in and donate seeds, director Paul Smith said．
The seed bank is one ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of the largest and most diverse in the world with more than 1．5 billion seeds．Its goal is to help protect the planet’s bio-diversity during a time of climate change．
The wild banan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a seed is under threat of extinction（灭绝） in southwest China from agricultural development．It is a vital food source for Asian elephants and important for growing bananas for human consumption．
Stored at minus-20 deg ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rees centigrade, so they can last for thousands of years, the seeds await the day that scientists hope never comes—when the species no longer exist in the wild．
It is a race aga ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )inst time, Smith said, because in the last decade alone, 20 plants held in the bank have already been wiped out in the wild．He estimates that between a third and a quarter will become extinct this century．
"It is urgent and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )it is happening now．An area, the size of England, is cleared of primary vegetation（植被）every year．" Smith said．
Because most ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of the world’s food and medicines come from nature, protecting wild plant species is quite important, scientists say．There are already many other seed banks safeguarding food crops, which only account for 0.6 percent of plant diversity．
For Kew’s nex ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t goal—to collect a quarter of wild varieties by 2020—the botanists need 10 million pounds a year, or a further 100 million pounds on top of the 40 million they have already been granted．
71．What’s the final purpose of the Britain’s seed bank
A．To collect enough money for the project．
B．To safeguard food crops．
C．To protect wild plants from extinction．
D．To help scientists study wild plants．
72．The wild banana seed in China is in danger because of _______．
A．the expandi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng of farming work B．the climate change in this area
C．the large numbe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r of Asian elephants D．human’s large consumption
73．We can learn from the passage that _______．
A．the seeds in t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he bank can be used now and then all over the world
B．India and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Brazil haven’t joined in the Seed Bank Project at present
C．there is only one seed bank in the world at present
D．the wild pl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ants in places like India and China will never die out
74．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 7 refer to
A．The extinction of plant species． B．Kew Gardens’ next goal．
C．Britain’s seed bank． D．The Millennium Seed Bank Project．
75．Which of the following information isn’t mentioned in the passage
A．The global partnership of collecting wild plant species．
B．The temperature ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )condition of the conservative wild plant species．
C．The government’s financial support for the seed bank project．
D．Scientists’ concern on the extinct wild plant species．
