18．（2014·安徽）阅读理解
Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says. Beehives (蜂窝)—either recorded or real—may even prevent elephants from damaging farmer's crops.
In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmer to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.
Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next，Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family.
From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.
Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. She hasn't tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial (最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers. She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.
（1）We know from the passage that elephants may be frightened of .
A．loud noises B．some crops C．video cameras D．angry bees
（2）As mentioned in the passage, Lucy .
A．works by herself in Africa
B．needs to test more elephant groups
C．has stopped elephants eating crops
D．has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms
（3）Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive
A．To record the sound of bees.
B．To make a video of elephants.
C．To see if elephants would run away.
D．To find out more about the behavior of bees.
（4）Which of the following is true according to the passage
A．Young elephants ignore African honeybees.
B．Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place.
C．Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them.
D．Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields.
【答案】（1）D
（2）B
（3）A
（4）C
【知识点】细节理解题；科普环保类；说明文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，一项最新的研究表明大象会害怕蜜蜂。为了让农民利用蜜蜂的声音防止大象破坏庄稼，Lucy做了实验，实验表明大象对于蜜蜂的声音是畏惧的，但是为了更有效的证明它的效果，Lucy还要进一步进行研究。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的”Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says.“可知大象可能害怕愤怒的蜜蜂的声音。选D。
（2）考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的”She hasn't tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial (最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers.“可知Lucy需要检测更多的大象群，所以选B。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的”Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life.“可知Lucy向野生蜂窝扔石头，是让它们发疯从而记录下蜜蜂的声音，所以选A。
（4）考查细节理解：根据第二段中的”In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them.“可知大象不会靠近有蜜蜂的树；根据倒数第二段中的”Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. “可知小象也害怕蜜蜂；根据倒数第二段中的”When Lucy Played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.“可知是瀑布的声音让大象呆在同样的地方，不是瀑布，而文章也没有说农民不让Lucy在他们的田地做实验。所以选C。

19．（2014·安徽）阅读理解
You are the collector in the gallery of your life. You collect. You might not mean to but you do. One out of three people collects tangible（有形的）things such as cats, photos and noisy toys.
There are among some 40 collections that are being shown at “The Museum Of”—the first of several new museums which, over the next two years, will exhibit the objects accumulated by unknown collectors. In doing so, they will promote a popular culture of museums, not what museums normally represent.
Some of the collections are fairly common—records, model houses. Others are strangely beautiful—branches that have fallen from tree, for example. But they all reveal （显露）a lot of things: ask someone what they collect and their answers will tell you who they are.
Other on the way include “The museum of Collectors” and “The Museum of Me.”These new ones, it is hoped, will build on the success of “The Museum Of.” The thinkers behind the project want to explore why people collect, and what it means to do so. They hope that visitors who may not have considered themselves collectors will begin to see they, too, collect.
Some collectors say they started or stopped making collections at important point: the beginning or end of adolescence—“it's a growing-up thing; you stop when you grow up,”says one. Other painful times are mentioned, such as the end of a relationship. For time and life can seem so uncontrollable that a steady serial（顺序排列的）arrangement is comforting.
（1）How will the new museums promote a popular culture of museums
A．By collecting more tangible things.
B．By showing what ordinary people have collected.
C．By correcting what museums normally represent.
D．By accumulating 40 collections two years from now.
（2）What can be learned about collectors from their collections
A．Who they are.
B．How old they are.
C．Where they were born.
D．Why they might not mean to collect.
（3）Which of the following is an aim of the new museums
A．To help people sell their collections.
B．To encourage more people to collect.
C．To study the significance of collecting.
D．To find out why people visit museums.
（4）According to the last paragraph, people may stop collecting when they
A．become adults B．feel happy with life
C．are ready for a relationship D．feel time to he uncontrollable
【答案】（1）B
（2）A
（3）C
（4）A

Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons—for example, economic (经济的) reasons—why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed
In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的)and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward . If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different , even though that might be the more risky choice.
（1）What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph
A．Some of them are not attractive.
B．Most of them ate too expensive to preserve.
C．They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
D．They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
（2）Which of the following is true according to the author
A．We should reproduce the same old buildings.
B．Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.
C．Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.
D．No one understands why people speak against new buildings.
（3）By “move things forward ” in the last paragraph , the author probably means“ ”
A．destroy old buildings
B．put things in a different place
C．respect people's feelings for historical buildings
D．choose new architectural styles
（4）What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To explain why people dislike change.
B．To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
C．To warn that we could end up living in caves.
D．To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
【答案】（1）A
（2）C
（3）C
（4）D
【知识点】主旨大意；推理判断题；细节理解题；社会文化类；议论文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，阐述了是否现代的建筑应该和古老的历史建筑在一起。在作者看来历史建筑应该保存，但是我们的建筑风格也应该改变，不能因为历史建筑破坏我们的生活。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的”not all historical buildings are attractive.“可知，这是部分否定的句子，说明一些历史建筑不够有吸引力，故选D。
（2）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的”It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too.“新建筑破坏了古建筑，而古建筑也是这样，可知作者认为一些历史建筑将他们生活的地方破坏了，故选A。
（3）考查句义理解。根据第四段中的”If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves.“如果我们总是复制以前的东西，我们现在还住在山洞里面，可知“moving things forward”意思是“选择新的建筑风格”，故选C。
（4）考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的”Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city “可知，本文是论证现代的建筑可以建在历史遗迹的地方，故选B。

21．（2014·安徽）阅读理解
You may not have heard of Ashoka, but for the past 27 years,this association, founded by Bill Drayton, has fought poverty (贫穷)and sickness, promoted education and encouraged small businesses. To support these worthy causes, Ashoka provides money for the world's most promising "changemakers" seeking to solve (解决) urgent problems and would like to create a world in which every citizen is a changemaker.
Drayton believes that anyone can become an agent for change. The important thing is to simply give yourself permission. If you see a problem that you care about, you can help solve it. The young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy, healthy, contributing adult. In fact It is many young people's ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions. An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995 in Dhaka, which handled the rubbish problem facing the city ,helped local farmers and provided an income for poor people there .
When Masqsood and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncollected rubbish that lay in Dhaka's streets, Attracting tats and disease , they discovered that 80% of it was natural waste . So they educated the poor people in the city to compost (把……制成堆粪)this waste . They knew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggling with chemical ferntilisers (化肥) which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the soil over the years . At first , they were refused ,but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made , the project took off. In 2009 sales were $14,000.
Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious ,practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.
（1）Which of the following could be the best title for the passage
A．changemakers B．Businessmen
C．Social Conditions D．Rubbish Problem
（2）The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 probably refers to" "
A．the local farmers B．Masqsood and Iftekhar
C．Drayton and his team D．the poor people in Dhaka
（3）It can be concluded from the passage that anyone can become a changemaker if he .
A．considers Drayton's concept
B．gets permission from Ashoka
C．tries to improve social conditions
D．is a young, happy and healthy adult
（4）The authors attitude towards Ashoka's program can be described as
A．changing B．forgiving C．cautious D．Positive
【答案】（1）A
（2）D
（3）C
（4）D
【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；说明文；故事阅读类；标题选择
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了Bill Drayton创办的一个组织，旨在对抗贫困疾病，提高教育，鼓励小产业。
（1）考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的”Ashoka provides money for the world's most promising ‘changemakers' seeking to solve (解决) urgent problems and would like to create a world in which every citizen is a changemaker.“可知，本文介绍了Bill Drayton创办的一个组织，旨在对抗贫困疾病，提高教育，鼓励小产业。为了让每个人都变成“changemakers”，所以选A。
（2）考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的”So they educated the poor people in the city to compost (把……制成堆粪)this waste .“可知Ashoka鼓励当地的穷人将垃圾变成堆肥，可以卖给购买昂贵的化肥当地农民，有人接受，但是有人拒绝，所以这里they指的是“当地的穷人”。所以选D。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的”In fact It is many young people's ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions.“可知每个人都能成为“changemaker”，只要他们努力提高社会状况，选C。
（4）考查推理判断。根据文章的内容：可知作者介绍Ashoka项目的宗旨，它对于促进社会进步的做法和措施，并具体介绍了Ashoka在1995年在Dhaka解决垃圾问题所取得的成就，还有从最后一段可以看出作者对于Ashoka这个项目是乐观的，所以选D。

四、任务型阅读
22．（2014·安徽）阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Many people believe that classical music is not relevant music is not relevant to young people today . However, this issue (问题) frequently causes heated debate.
Some people say that classical music is associated only with old people .For example, if you look at the audience at a classical concert , the majority is over the age of fifty.
Others say it is more popular than we first imagine . Many young people listen to classical music without realising .It is often used in films and advertisements. For example.a famous piece of classical music was used as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup . Not many people could have given its name , but millions enjoyed it .
Also,some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas: for example, it is said that rap(说唱)music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is now used by young people in pop music.
However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology. To play a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need to study hard and practise for hours. Nowadays, you don't need to get aching arms from practising. A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom.
A final point to in mind is that the term "classical music" is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras(管弦乐队).This makes it even more difficult to say whether classical music is relevant to young people.
So, it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments , but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music. It may be more relevant to young people in the modern world than they realise!

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，对年轻人是否喜欢古典音乐进行讨论，列出了不同的观点和证明这些观点的证据。
（1）考查形容词。根据第一段中的“Many people believe that classical music is not relevant music is not relevant to young people today .”可知这篇文章讲的是古典音乐是否和年轻人有关的问题，填形容词relevant“相关的”。
（2）考查代词。根据第二段中的“if you look at the audience at a classical concert , the majority is over the age of fifty.”可知听音乐会的大部分人都是50岁以上的人。The majority要改成Most of。
（3）考查动词。根据第三段中的“Many young people listen to classical music without realising .”可知很多人听古典音乐却没有意识到这个是古典音乐。文章里面的realizing，在题目中需要谓语，所以填realize（realize）/know/recognise(recognize)
（4）考查名词。根据第四段中的“Also,some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas:”可知人们创作新的音乐是以古典音乐为基础的，这里需要base的名词：basis。
（5）考查动词。根据第四段中的“it is said that rap(说唱)music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is now used by young people in pop music.”可知人们在流行音乐中使用rap，文章里面是被动含义，题目中用主动，填use。
（6）考查名词。根据第五段中的“However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology.”可知科技超越了古典音乐，填Technology。
（7）考查副词。根据第五段中的“Nowadays, you don't need to get aching arms from practising. A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom”可知年轻人可以舒服的在卧室里面用电脑程序做音乐，这里用副词comfortably修饰动词make music。
（8）考查名词。根据第六段中的“A final point to in mind is that the term ‘classical music'is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras(管弦乐队).”可知古典音乐可以被用来指各种各样的音乐。文章中的a great variety of=various kinds/ types/sorts of。
（9）考查动词。根据第六段的句子：中的“A final point to in mind is that the term "classical music" is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras(管弦乐队).'可知古典音乐的范围包含爵士乐到大的管弦乐队。填ranges（范围从…到…变化）

Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says. Beehives (蜂窝)—either recorded or real—may even prevent elephants from damaging farmer's crops.
In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmer to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.
Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next，Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family.
From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy played the sound of a waterfall (瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.
Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. She hasn't tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial (最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers. She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.
（1）We know from the passage that elephants may be frightened of .
A．loud noises B．some crops C．video cameras D．angry bees
（2）As mentioned in the passage, Lucy .
A．works by herself in Africa
B．needs to test more elephant groups
C．has stopped elephants eating crops
D．has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms
（3）Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive
A．To record the sound of bees.
B．To make a video of elephants.
C．To see if elephants would run away.
D．To find out more about the behavior of bees.
（4）Which of the following is true according to the passage
A．Young elephants ignore African honeybees.
B．Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place.
C．Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them.
D．Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields.

You are the collector in the gallery of your life. You collect. You might not mean to but you do. One out of three people collects tangible（有形的）things such as cats, photos and noisy toys.
There are among some 40 collections that are being shown at “The Museum Of”—the first of several new museums which, over the next two years, will exhibit the objects accumulated by unknown collectors. In doing so, they will promote a popular culture of museums, not what museums normally represent.
Some of the collections are fairly common—records, model houses. Others are strangely beautiful—branches that have fallen from tree, for example. But they all reveal （显露）a lot of things: ask someone what they collect and their answers will tell you who they are.
Other on the way include “The museum of Collectors” and “The Museum of Me.”These new ones, it is hoped, will build on the success of “The Museum Of.” The thinkers behind the project want to explore why people collect, and what it means to do so. They hope that visitors who may not have considered themselves collectors will begin to see they, too, collect.
Some collectors say they started or stopped making collections at important point: the beginning or end of adolescence—“it's a growing-up thing; you stop when you grow up,”says one. Other painful times are mentioned, such as the end of a relationship. For time and life can seem so uncontrollable that a steady serial（顺序排列的）arrangement is comforting.
（1）How will the new museums promote a popular culture of museums
A．By collecting more tangible things.
B．By showing what ordinary people have collected.
C．By correcting what museums normally represent.
D．By accumulating 40 collections two years from now.
（2）What can be learned about collectors from their collections
A．Who they are.
B．How old they are.
C．Where they were born.
D．Why they might not mean to collect.
（3）Which of the following is an aim of the new museums
A．To help people sell their collections.
B．To encourage more people to collect.
C．To study the significance of collecting.
D．To find out why people visit museums.
（4）According to the last paragraph, people may stop collecting when they
A．become adults B．feel happy with life
C．are ready for a relationship D．feel time to he uncontrollable

Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons—for example, economic (经济的) reasons—why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed

You may not have heard of Ashoka, but for the past 27 years,this association, founded by Bill Drayton, has fought poverty (贫穷)and sickness, promoted education and encouraged small businesses. To support these worthy causes, Ashoka provides money for the world's most promising "changemakers" seeking to solve (解决) urgent problems and would like to create a world in which every citizen is a changemaker.
Drayton believes that anyone can become an agent for change. The important thing is to simply give yourself permission. If you see a problem that you care about, you can help solve it. The young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy, healthy, contributing adult. In fact It is many young people's ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions. An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995 in Dhaka, which handled the rubbish problem facing the city ,helped local farmers and provided an income for poor people there .
When Masqsood and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncollected rubbish that lay in Dhaka's streets, Attracting tats and disease , they discovered that 80% of it was natural waste . So they educated the poor people in the city to compost (把……制成堆粪)this waste . They knew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggling with chemical ferntilisers (化肥) which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the soil over the years . At first , they were refused ,but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made , the project took off. In 2009 sales were $14,000.
Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious ,practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.

A．the local farmers B．Masqsood and Iftekhar

四、任务型阅读
22．（2014·安徽）阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Many people believe that classical music is not relevant music is not relevant to young people today . However, this issue (问题) frequently causes heated debate.
Some people say that classical music is associated only with old people .For example, if you look at the audience at a classical concert , the majority is over the age of fifty.
Others say it is more popular than we first imagine . Many young people listen to classical music without realising .It is often used in films and advertisements. For example.a famous piece of classical music was used as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup . Not many people could have given its name , but millions enjoyed it .
Also,some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas: for example, it is said that rap(说唱)music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is now used by young people in pop music.
However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology. To play a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need to study hard and practise for hours. Nowadays, you don't need to get aching arms from practising. A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom.
A final point to in mind is that the term "classical music" is used to refer to a great variety of music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras(管弦乐队).This makes it even more difficult to say whether classical music is relevant to young people.
So, it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments , but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music. It may be more relevant to young people in the modern world than they realise!
