Wealth starts with a goal saving a dollar at a time. Call it the piggy bank strategy(策略). There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container.
Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. I f you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money.
When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year's Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, but you have to putsomethingin it.
Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called “pygg,” and folks saved coins in pygg jars.The Middle English word
for pig was “pigge”. While the Saxons pronounced pygg, referring to the clay, as “pug”, eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i” as in pig or piggy. As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting children and adults. The piggy bank was born.
Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money— college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like great trips. So when you have money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely.
（1）What is the piggy bank strategy
A．Paying 1% income tax at a time.
B．Setting a goal before making a travel plan.
C．Aiming high even when doing small things.
D．Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.
（2）Why did the writer's parents give him a piggy bank as a gift
A．To delight him with the latest fashion.
B．To encourage him to climb mountains.
C．To help him form the habit of saving.
D．To teach him English pronunciation.
（3）What does then underlined word “something”(Paragraph 3) most probably refer to
A．Money B．Gifts
C．Financial success D．Good luck
（4）The piggy ban originally was _________.
A．a potter's instrument B．a cheap clay container
C．an animal-shaped dish D．a pig-like toy for children
（5）The last paragraph talks about ________.
A．the seriousness of educating children
B．the enjoyment of taking a great trip
C．the importance of managing money
D．the difficulty of starting a business
21．（2014·浙江）阅读理解
Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.
In Brazil
Brazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there's no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.
In Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.
In the United Arab Emirates
In the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.
In Switzerland
The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others' time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.
（1）The passage is mainly about ________.
A．communication types B．the workplace atmosphere
C．customs and social manners D．living conditions and standards
（2）Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss
A．They put efficiency in the first place.
B．They dislike face-to-face communication.
C．They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.
D．They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.
（3）In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered
A．When greeting seniors. B．When meeting the host alone.
C．When attending a presentation. D．When dining with business partners.
（4）In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table
A．In Brazil. B．In Singapore.
C．In the United Arab Emirate. D．In Switzerland.
22．（2014·浙江）阅读理解
Last summer, two nineteenth-century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in Montana, to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco. The houses were made of wood. These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil; now they hold Twitter engineers.
The cottages could be an example of the industry' s odd love affair with “low technology,” a concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanship (手艺) that exists long before the Internet era. Low technology is not virtual (虚拟的) —so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to get creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by hand in the late eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious example, but Twitter's designs lie on the extreme end. Other companies are using a broader interpretation (阐释) of low technology that focuses on nature.
Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so that employees can “work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting.” At Google's office, an entire floor is carpeted in glass. Facebook's second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking trail.
Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech companies over the years. “We have lost the connection to the maker in our lives, and our tech engineers are the ones who feel impoverished (贫乏的) , because they're surrounded by the digital world,” he says. “They're looking for a way to regain their individual identity, and we've found that introducing real crafts is one way to do that.”
This craft based theory is rooted in history, William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after the Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines. “Without creative human occupation, people became disconnected from life,” Morris said.
Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental capacities. In Japan, patients are encouraged to “forest-bathe,” taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure.
These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rachel Kaplvin, a professor of environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environment. Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office—even simple views of trees and flowers—felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying. If low-tech offices can potentially nourish the brains and improve the mental health of employees then, fine, bring on the cottages.
（1）The writer mentions the two nineteenth-century cottages to show that ________.
A．Twitter is having a hard time
B．old cottages are in need of protection
C．early settlers once suffered from a dry climate in Montana
D．Internet companies have rediscovered the benefits of low technology
（2）Low technology is regarded as something that _______.
A．is related to nature B．is out of date today
C．consumes too much energy D．exists in the virtual world
（3）The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that human beings ________.
A．have destroyed many pre-industrial arts
B．have a tradition of valuing arts and crafts
C．can become intelligent by learning history
D．can regain their individual identity by using machines
（4）The writer's attitude to “low technology” can best be described as ________.
A．positive B．defensive C．cautious D．doubtful
（5）What might be the best title for the passage
A．Past Glories, Future Dreams
B．The Virtual World, the Real Challenge
C．High-tech Companies, Low-tech Offices
D．The More Craftsmanship, the Less Creativity
23．（2014·浙江）阅读理解
A city child's summer is spent in the street in front of his home, and all through the long summer vacations I sat on the edge of the street and watched enviously the other boys on the block play baseball. I was never asked to take part even when one team had a member missing—not out of special cruelty, but because they took it for granted I would be no good at it. They were right, of course.
I would never forget the wonderful evening when something changed. The baseball ended about eight or eight thirty when it grew dark. Then it was the custom of the boys to retire to a little stoop(门廊) that stuck out from the candy store on the corner and that somehow had become theirs. No grownup ever sat there or attempted to. There the boys would sit, mostly talking about the games played during the day and of the game to be played tomorrow. Then long silences would fall and the boys would wander off one by one. It was just after one of those long silences that my life as an outsider changed. I can no longer remember which boy it was that summer evening who broke the silence with a question: but whoever he was, I nod to him gratefully now. “What's in those books you're always reading ” he asked casually. “Stories,” I answered. “What kind ” asked somebody else without much interest.
Nor do I know what drove me to behave as I did,for usually I just sat there in silence, glad enough to be allowed to reain among them; but instead of answering his question, I told them for two hours the story I was reading at the moment. The book was Sister Carrie. They listened bug-eyed and breathless. I must have told it well, but I think there was another and deeper reason that made them to keep an audience. Listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most ancient of man's entertainments, but I was offering them as well, without being aware of doing it, a new and exciting experience.
The books they themselves read were the Rover Boys or Tom Swift or G.A.Henty. I had read them too, but at thirteen I had long since left them behind. Since I was much alone I had become an enthusiastic reader and I had gone through the books-for-boys series. In those days there was no reading material between children's and grownups'books or I could find none. I had gone right fromTome Swift and His Flying Machine to Theodore Dreiser and Sister Carrie. Dreiser had hit my young mind, and they listened to me tell the story with some of the wonder that I had had in reading it.
The next night and many nights thereafter, a kind of unspoken ritual (仪式) took place. As it grew dark, I would take my place in the center of the stoop and begin the evening's tale. Some nights, in order to taste my victory more completely, I cheated. I would stop at the most exciting part of a story by Jack London or Bret Harte, and without warning tell them that that was as far as I had gone in the book and it would have to be continued the following evening. It was not true, of course; but I had to make certain of my new-found power and position. I enjoyed the long summer evenings until school began in the fall. Other words of mine have been listened to by larger and more fashionable audiences, but for that tough and athletic one that sat close on the stoop outside the candy store, I have an unreasoning love that will last forever.
（1）Watching the boys playing baseball, the writer must have felt ________.
A．bitter and lonely B．special and different
C．pleased and excited D．disturbed and annoyed
（2）The writer feels grateful even now to the boy who asked the question because the boy ________.
A．invited him to join in their game
B．liked the book that he was reading
C．broke the long silence of that summer evening
D．offered him an opportunity that changed his life
（3）According to Paragraph 3, story-telling was popular among the boys basically because ________.
A．the story was from a children's book
B．listening to tales was an age-old practice
C．the boys had few entertainments after dark
D．the boys didn't read books by themselves
（4）The boys were attracted toSister Carriebecause ________.
A．it was written by Theodore Dreiser
B．it was specifically targeted at boys
C．it gave them a deeper feeling of pleasure
D．it talked about the wonders of the world
（5）Sometimes the writer stopped at the most exciting part of a story to _______.
A．play a mean trick on the boys
B．experience more joy of achievement
C．add his own imagination to the story
D．help the boys understand the story better
（6）What is the message conveyed in the story
A．One can find his position in life in his own way.
B．Friendship is built upon respect for each other.
C．Reading is more important than playing games.
D．Adult habits are developed from childhood.

Develop Better Relationships with Neighbors
Good neighbors are a lot like electricity or running water：we don't know how much we depend on them until we don't have them. They make our lives more pleasant and give us a sense of who we wrte, both as an individual and as a member of the community. Here is how to develop your relationships with these very important people in your life.
　 　 Often neighbors don't even know each other's names. But it's okay to be the one to break the ice , even if you've lived next door for years.Most neighbors enjoy making small talk with the folks on the other side of the fence. So as you see them at work in their yards, smile, wave, and say hello. Ask how their kids are (whether they're babies or in college), whether they could use an extra cucumber from your garden, or what they think of the price at the local supermarket.
　 　 These days, the old Welcome Wagon is a thing of the past. But your new neighbors may be feeling lonely and unsure, especially if they're far from home, and might appreciate a friendly face bearing fresh-baked chocolate cakes. If they have kids, tell them where the children in the neighborhood live. Recommend the best places to eat and sleep. Invite them over for coffee or tea when they get settled, give them your number, and point to your house as you say good-bye.
　 　 Return anything that you borrow from a neighbor, such as tools, in good repair and as soon as you've finished with them. Replace anything that belongs to your neighbor that you, your children, or your pets break or soil. Make sure that your car is not blocking their doorway. Such random acts of consideration will have your neighbors talking—and the talk will be good.
　 　 If you value a friendship with your neighbors, spend time with them. What better way to meet your neighbors than to invite them to an informal barbecue, pool party, or holiday open house Better yet, you might even consider throwing a get-together in their honor. Deliver the invitations in person to everyone who lives on your street and chat with each for five minutes before moving on to the next house. This way, you will get an idea of what your neighbors are like so that you can plan for appropriate food and music.
　 　 In a good relationship, it's really the little things that count. Help to bring in the mail for the elderly neighbor when there is a heavy rain. When your neighbor gorgets to take in his rubbish cans, roll them back into his yard. If you're truly concerned, you'll know when your neighbor needs some cheering up—a bunch of flowers or a helping hand when it's needed. All it takes to develop your relationship with neighbors is the respect for their feelings.

I was taking a train to London's Victoria Station. I had noticed that the carriage was noise and filled with people.
Before long, a train inspector comes to check out tickets. A passenger realized he couldn't find his ticket but became quite upset. Then everyone in the carriage began searching the ticket, which was eventually found under a seat several rows from his owner. The person who found a ticket smiled with pleasure at his success.
No one in the carriage had previous spoken to or even noticed the ticket-owner before. Yet, they had so quickly offered the strangers their help. If we could show concern to others on need, the world would be a better place to live in.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述的是关于现代科技公司运用“大自然对人们创造力产生作用”的理念，积极创设原生态的办公环境。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Low technology is not virtual (虚拟的) —so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to get creative.”可知，低科技不是虚拟的，因此要充分的利用它，高科技公司需要有创造力。而开头提到的两个19世纪的小村舍就是低科技技术下的产物。现代的高科技公司也需要用低科技的理念创设原生态的办公室。故选D。
（2）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“so that employees can ‘work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting'”以及最后一段中的“Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office”可以判断出，低科技跟大自然有关，即在一个天然的环境下，故选A。B选项意思是低科技已经过时了，这不符合文意，现在很多高科技的公司都在打造低科技的办公室，让职员们更接近自然；C选项的意思是低科技消耗很多能源，其实正好相反，低科技的东西都是很天然的，不需要消耗很多能源；D选项的意思说低科技是虚拟的，而短文短文中说它并不是虚拟的，故与文意不符。故选A。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第五段中的“This craft based theory is rooted in history, William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties”可知，工艺基础理论是有其历史根源的，英国的艺术家、作家William Morris又回到了19世纪60年代的工业化之前的艺术。由此可知选B。

（5）考查主旨大意。这篇短文中作者告诉我们低科技不是虚拟的，现代的高科技公司需要有创造力，所以要充分的利用以前的低科技技术，创设更加原生态的办公环境。故用High-tech Companies, Low-tech Offices作为题目是最合适的。故选C。

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一个曾经不合群的少年，通过自己特长，增强自信，充分融入他向往群体的故事，这位少年成长经历的同时，也必定感受到阅读的力量——因为正是阅读帮他找到了自信。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段的内容可知，作者羡慕地看着一些孩子打棒球，但是他们从来不邀请作者参加，即使场上少一个人。所以作者的感受应该是“孤独的，苦涩的”。故选A。
（2）考查推理判断。根据短文第二段的内容可知，因为这个男孩的提问，打破了沉默，也让一直总是沉默的作者融入了他们当中，改变了作者的生活。故应该选D。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most ancient of man's entertainments.”可知，在晚上听故事是男人们最古老的的娱乐形式之一，即听故事是有很久的历史的，是很传统的。故应该选B。
（4）考查推理判断。根据短文第四段的内可知，那些孩子们读过的书，作者早已读过。并且因为作者总是不合群，所以特别热爱读书。当作者给他们讲他们从没听过的故事的时候，孩子们立刻被吸引住了，这给了他们更多的快乐。故应该选C。
（5）考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“Some nights, in order to taste my victory more completely, I would stop at the most exciting part of the story.”作者在故事中最令人激动的地方停下来，看着那些孩子们被故事所吸引，作者感受到了自己的成功，所以是为了享受自己的成功。由此可知选B。
（6）考查主旨大意。这篇短文中，一开始作者只是一些打棒球的孩子们的旁观者，一个偶然的机会，作者给他们讲了他正在读的一本书的故事，吸引了这些孩子们的注意力，融入了他们的世界。作者通过他的亲身经历告诉诉我们，每个人都可以有自己的方法找到他在生活中的位置。故选A。

（1）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段叙述的是和邻居处理好关系的重要性，因此要打破僵局主动去搭讪交谈。根据空格后叙述的是邻居甚至不知道对方的名字，但是一定要见面打声招呼。因此要开始交谈，故选C。
（2）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段叙述的是如何和新邻居处理好关系。根据空后“but your neighbor may be feeling lonely and unsure,especially if they're far from home.”可知这里要叙述的是关于新邻居的关系问题，因此要主动联系新邻居。故选E。

（4）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段叙述的是要花费时间和邻居相处，可以邀请邻居在一起聚会、度假等，因此要抽出时间搞好关系，故选D。
（5）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段叙述的是要关心邻居的一些小事，如：下雨天帮助老人去邮件、帮着邻居倒垃圾等。因此要关心一些细节小事，故选B。

【知识点】短文改错
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了一次乘火车旅行的经历。
①考查时态。句意：我注意到车厢里很吵闹都是人。 本文叙述的是过去发生的一件事情，不需要使用过去完成时，因为过去完成时表示的是“过去的过去”。故将noticed前面的had去掉。
②考查形容词。 本句中应该使用形容词noisy和系动词was构成系表结构，修饰车里当时的情况。故将noise改为noisy 。
③考查时态。 因为本文讲述的是过去发生的事情，所以使用一般过去时。故将comes改为came。
④考查连词。 句意：一位乘客找不到自己的票，很难受。上下文之间是顺接关系，所以使用and，故将but改为and 。
⑤考查固定短语。 每个人都帮助他找票。search for sth.寻找某物。故将searching后面加for 。
⑥考查代词。 句意：这张票最终是在它的主人几排后面的座位下面被找到的。Its指代the ticket。故将his改为its/the。
⑦考查冠词。 the 使用定冠词the特指上文提及的同一事物，本文中特指前面提及的那张票。故将a改为the 。
⑧考查副词。 本句中应该使用副词previously作状语，修饰谓语动词。形容词previous通常作为定语或者表语，不能作状语，故将previous改为previously。
⑨考查名词。 句意：他们如此迅速地给与陌生人他们的帮助。本句中的陌生人就是指那张票的主人，是一个单数形式。故将strangers改为stranger。
⑩考查固定短语 。句意：如果我们向那些需要帮助的人表示关心，这个世界就会变得更美好。固定搭配in need表示“需要”，故将on改为in。
【点评】本题考点涉及时态，形容词，连词，固定短语，代词，冠词，副词以及名称等知识点的考查，覆盖面广，综合性强，难度较大，区分度高。
26．【答案】Dear Mr. Wang,
Knowing that our library is going to buy books, I'd like to give some suggestions. What we need most are popular science books. Usually popular science books explain basic principles of nature in a simple and interesting way. They help us understand science subjects better and arouse our curiosity about scientific discoveries. In addition to reading for knowledge, we read for fun and inspiration. That is why I recommend another category of books：literary books. Classic works, written by masters, present great thoughts through fascinating stories and language. They not only offer us joy and excitement, but also encourage us to think critically. I'll be glad if you can consider my recommendation.
Yours sincerely,
Li Yue

20．（2014·浙江）阅读理解
Wealth starts with a goal saving a dollar at a time. Call it the piggy bank strategy(策略). There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container.
Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. I f you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money.
When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year's Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, but you have to putsomethingin it.
Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called “pygg,” and folks saved coins in pygg jars.The Middle English word
for pig was “pigge”. While the Saxons pronounced pygg, referring to the clay, as “pug”, eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i” as in pig or piggy. As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting children and adults. The piggy bank was born.
Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money— college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like great trips. So when you have money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely.
（1）What is the piggy bank strategy
A．Paying 1% income tax at a time.
B．Setting a goal before making a travel plan.
C．Aiming high even when doing small things.
D．Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.

21．（2014·浙江）阅读理解
Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.
In Brazil
Brazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there's no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.
In Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.
In the United Arab Emirates
In the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.
In Switzerland
The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others' time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.
（1）The passage is mainly about ________.
A．communication types B．the workplace atmosphere
C．customs and social manners D．living conditions and standards
（2）Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss
A．They put efficiency in the first place.
B．They dislike face-to-face communication.
C．They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.
D．They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.
（3）In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered
A．When greeting seniors. B．When meeting the host alone.
C．When attending a presentation. D．When dining with business partners.
（4）In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table
A．In Brazil. B．In Singapore.
C．In the United Arab Emirate. D．In Switzerland.
【答案】（1）C
（2）D
（3）B
（4）D
【知识点】主旨大意题；细节理解题；社会文化类；说明文
【解析】【分析】本文是从一本手册上摘录下来的，是关于不同国家里的风俗习惯和社交礼仪的。在这篇短文中一共出现了四个国家或地区。
（1）考查主旨大意。根据第一段“ Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.”这里是一个从一本手册上摘录下来的，关于不同的国家中，人们的行为举止是怎样的。故它讲述的是不同的国家风俗习惯和社交礼仪。故选C。
（2）考查细节理解。根据 In Singapore部分的内容可知，在新加坡等级是很重要的，权威的人物必须受到尊敬。由此我们可以知道，新加坡人不会跟他们的老板争吵。故选D。
（3）考查细节理解。根据 In the United Arab Emirates部分中的“if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.”可知，如果主人给你咖啡，你应该拒绝。故应该选B。
（4）考查细节理解。根据 In Switzerland部分可知，在瑞士这个国家里，人们遵循着正式的餐桌礼仪，他们在吃饭的时候，要把手放在餐桌的上面，胳膊肘放在下面，而且要吃光盘里的东西。故选D。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和主旨大意两个题型的考查，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
22．（2014·浙江）阅读理解
Last summer, two nineteenth-century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in Montana, to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco. The houses were made of wood. These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil; now they hold Twitter engineers.
The cottages could be an example of the industry' s odd love affair with “low technology,” a concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanship (手艺) that exists long before the Internet era. Low technology is not virtual (虚拟的) —so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to get creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by hand in the late eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious example, but Twitter's designs lie on the extreme end. Other companies are using a broader interpretation (阐释) of low technology that focuses on nature.
Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so that employees can “work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting.” At Google's office, an entire floor is carpeted in glass. Facebook's second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking trail.
Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech companies over the years. “We have lost the connection to the maker in our lives, and our tech engineers are the ones who feel impoverished (贫乏的) , because they're surrounded by the digital world,” he says. “They're looking for a way to regain their individual identity, and we've found that introducing real crafts is one way to do that.”
This craft based theory is rooted in history, William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after the Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines. “Without creative human occupation, people became disconnected from life,” Morris said.
Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental capacities. In Japan, patients are encouraged to “forest-bathe,” taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure.
These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rachel Kaplvin, a professor of environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environment. Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office—even simple views of trees and flowers—felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying. If low-tech offices can potentially nourish the brains and improve the mental health of employees then, fine, bring on the cottages.
（1）The writer mentions the two nineteenth-century cottages to show that ________.
A．Twitter is having a hard time
B．old cottages are in need of protection
C．early settlers once suffered from a dry climate in Montana
D．Internet companies have rediscovered the benefits of low technology
（2）Low technology is regarded as something that _______.
A．is related to nature B．is out of date today
C．consumes too much energy D．exists in the virtual world
（3）The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that human beings ________.
A．have destroyed many pre-industrial arts
B．have a tradition of valuing arts and crafts
C．can become intelligent by learning history
D．can regain their individual identity by using machines
（4）The writer's attitude to “low technology” can best be described as ________.
A．positive B．defensive C．cautious D．doubtful
（5）What might be the best title for the passage
A．Past Glories, Future Dreams
B．The Virtual World, the Real Challenge
C．High-tech Companies, Low-tech Offices
D．The More Craftsmanship, the Less Creativity
【答案】（1）D
（2）A
（3）B
（4）A
（5）C
【知识点】主旨大意题；推理判断题；细节理解题；科普环保类；记叙文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述的是关于现代科技公司运用“大自然对人们创造力产生作用”的理念，积极创设原生态的办公环境。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Low technology is not virtual (虚拟的) —so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to get creative.”可知，低科技不是虚拟的，因此要充分的利用它，高科技公司需要有创造力。而开头提到的两个19世纪的小村舍就是低科技技术下的产物。现代的高科技公司也需要用低科技的理念创设原生态的办公室。故选D。
（2）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“so that employees can ‘work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting'”以及最后一段中的“Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office”可以判断出，低科技跟大自然有关，即在一个天然的环境下，故选A。B选项意思是低科技已经过时了，这不符合文意，现在很多高科技的公司都在打造低科技的办公室，让职员们更接近自然；C选项的意思是低科技消耗很多能源，其实正好相反，低科技的东西都是很天然的，不需要消耗很多能源；D选项的意思说低科技是虚拟的，而短文短文中说它并不是虚拟的，故与文意不符。故选A。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第五段中的“This craft based theory is rooted in history, William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties”可知，工艺基础理论是有其历史根源的，英国的艺术家、作家William Morris又回到了19世纪60年代的工业化之前的艺术。由此可知选B。
（4）考查推理判断。通过作者给出的这些例子可以看出，利用低科技建造的原生态办公室对职员们的工作的积极性是有好处的。并且作者还引用了一项研究“Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental capacities”来说明自然环境对我们精神上的有利影响。故选A。
（5）考查主旨大意。这篇短文中作者告诉我们低科技不是虚拟的，现代的高科技公司需要有创造力，所以要充分的利用以前的低科技技术，创设更加原生态的办公环境。故用High-tech Companies, Low-tech Offices作为题目是最合适的。故选C。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解、推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析、推理、概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
23．（2014·浙江）阅读理解
A city child's summer is spent in the street in front of his home, and all through the long summer vacations I sat on the edge of the street and watched enviously the other boys on the block play baseball. I was never asked to take part even when one team had a member missing—not out of special cruelty, but because they took it for granted I would be no good at it. They were right, of course.
I would never forget the wonderful evening when something changed. The baseball ended about eight or eight thirty when it grew dark. Then it was the custom of the boys to retire to a little stoop(门廊) that stuck out from the candy store on the corner and that somehow had become theirs. No grownup ever sat there or attempted to. There the boys would sit, mostly talking about the games played during the day and of the game to be played tomorrow. Then long silences would fall and the boys would wander off one by one. It was just after one of those long silences that my life as an outsider changed. I can no longer remember which boy it was that summer evening who broke the silence with a question: but whoever he was, I nod to him gratefully now. “What's in those books you're always reading ” he asked casually. “Stories,” I answered. “What kind ” asked somebody else without much interest.
Nor do I know what drove me to behave as I did,for usually I just sat there in silence, glad enough to be allowed to reain among them; but instead of answering his question, I told them for two hours the story I was reading at the moment. The book was Sister Carrie. They listened bug-eyed and breathless. I must have told it well, but I think there was another and deeper reason that made them to keep an audience. Listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most ancient of man's entertainments, but I was offering them as well, without being aware of doing it, a new and exciting experience.
The books they themselves read were the Rover Boys or Tom Swift or G.A.Henty. I had read them too, but at thirteen I had long since left them behind. Since I was much alone I had become an enthusiastic reader and I had gone through the books-for-boys series. In those days there was no reading material between children's and grownups'books or I could find none. I had gone right fromTome Swift and His Flying Machine to Theodore Dreiser and Sister Carrie. Dreiser had hit my young mind, and they listened to me tell the story with some of the wonder that I had had in reading it.
The next night and many nights thereafter, a kind of unspoken ritual (仪式) took place. As it grew dark, I would take my place in the center of the stoop and begin the evening's tale. Some nights, in order to taste my victory more completely, I cheated. I would stop at the most exciting part of a story by Jack London or Bret Harte, and without warning tell them that that was as far as I had gone in the book and it would have to be continued the following evening.

【知识点】主旨大意题；推理判断题；细节理解题；人物故事类；记叙文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一个曾经不合群的少年，通过自己特长，增强自信，充分融入他向往群体的故事，这位少年成长经历的同时，也必定感受到阅读的力量——因为正是阅读帮他找到了自信。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段的内容可知，作者羡慕地看着一些孩子打棒球，但是他们从来不邀请作者参加，即使场上少一个人。所以作者的感受应该是“孤独的，苦涩的”。故选A。
（2）考查推理判断。根据短文第二段的内容可知，因为这个男孩的提问，打破了沉默，也让一直总是沉默的作者融入了他们当中，改变了作者的生活。故应该选D。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most ancient of man's entertainments.”可知，在晚上听故事是男人们最古老的的娱乐形式之一，即听故事是有很久的历史的，是很传统的。故应该选B。
（4）考查推理判断。根据短文第四段的内可知，那些孩子们读过的书，作者早已读过。并且因为作者总是不合群，所以特别热爱读书。当作者给他们讲他们从没听过的故事的时候，孩子们立刻被吸引住了，这给了他们更多的快乐。故应该选C。
（5）考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“Some nights, in order to taste my victory more completely, I would stop at the most exciting part of the story.”作者在故事中最令人激动的地方停下来，看着那些孩子们被故事所吸引，作者感受到了自己的成功，所以是为了享受自己的成功。由此可知选B。
（6）考查主旨大意。这篇短文中，一开始作者只是一些打棒球的孩子们的旁观者，一个偶然的机会，作者给他们讲了他正在读的一本书的故事，吸引了这些孩子们的注意力，融入了他们的世界。作者通过他的亲身经历告诉诉我们，每个人都可以有自己的方法找到他在生活中的位置。故选A。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解、推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析、推理、概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

Develop Better Relationships with Neighbors
Good neighbors are a lot like electricity or running water：we don't know how much we depend on them until we don't have them. They make our lives more pleasant and give us a sense of who we wrte, both as an individual and as a member of the community. Here is how to develop your relationships with these very important people in your life.
　 　 Often neighbors don't even know each other's names. But it's okay to be the one to break the ice , even if you've lived next door for years.Most neighbors enjoy making small talk with the folks on the other side of the fence. So as you see them at work in their yards, smile, wave, and say hello. Ask how their kids are (whether they're babies or in college), whether they could use an extra cucumber from your garden, or what they think of the price at the local supermarket.
　 　 These days, the old Welcome Wagon is a thing of the past. But your new neighbors may be feeling lonely and unsure, especially if they're far from home, and might appreciate a friendly face bearing fresh-baked chocolate cakes. If they have kids, tell them where the children in the neighborhood live. Recommend the best places to eat and sleep. Invite them over for coffee or tea when they get settled, give them your number, and point to your house as you say good-bye.
　 　 Return anything that you borrow from a neighbor, such as tools, in good repair and as soon as you've finished with them. Replace anything that belongs to your neighbor that you, your children, or your pets break or soil. Make sure that your car is not blocking their doorway. Such random acts of consideration will have your neighbors talking—and the talk will be good.
　 　 If you value a friendship with your neighbors, spend time with them. What better way to meet your neighbors than to invite them to an informal barbecue, pool party, or holiday open house Better yet, you might even consider throwing a get-together in their honor. Deliver the invitations in person to everyone who lives on your street and chat with each for five minutes before moving on to the next house. This way, you will get an idea of what your neighbors are like so that you can plan for appropriate food and music.
　 　 In a good relationship, it's really the little things that count. Help to bring in the mail for the elderly neighbor when there is a heavy rain. When your neighbor gorgets to take in his rubbish cans, roll them back into his yard. If you're truly concerned, you'll know when your neighbor needs some cheering up—a bunch of flowers or a helping hand when it's needed. All it takes to develop your relationship with neighbors is the respect for their feelings.

【知识点】七选五
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，本文论述了如何和自己的邻居处理好关系。短文给出了一些建议：一是主动开始交谈。二是要和新邻居处理好关系。三是给予别人方便之门。四是花时间去交友。五是关心一些小事。
（1）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段叙述的是和邻居处理好关系的重要性，因此要打破僵局主动去搭讪交谈。根据空格后叙述的是邻居甚至不知道对方的名字，但是一定要见面打声招呼。因此要开始交谈，故选C。
（2）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段叙述的是如何和新邻居处理好关系。根据空后“but your neighbor may be feeling lonely and unsure,especially if they're far from home.”可知这里要叙述的是关于新邻居的关系问题，因此要主动联系新邻居。故选E。

（4）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段叙述的是要花费时间和邻居相处，可以邀请邻居在一起聚会、度假等，因此要抽出时间搞好关系，故选D。
（5）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段叙述的是要关心邻居的一些小事，如：下雨天帮助老人去邮件、帮着邻居倒垃圾等。因此要关心一些细节小事，故选B。

五、短文改错
25．（2014·浙江）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号（∧），并在其下面写出该加的词。
删除：把多余的词用斜线（＼）划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1．每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2．只改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。
I was taking a train to London's Victoria Station. I had noticed that the carriage was noise and filled with people.
Before long, a train inspector comes to check out tickets. A passenger realized he couldn't find his ticket but became quite upset. Then everyone in the carriage began searching the ticket, which was eventually found under a seat several rows from his owner. The person who found a ticket smiled with pleasure at his success.
No one in the carriage had previous spoken to or even noticed the ticket-owner before. Yet, they had so quickly offered the strangers their help. If we could show concern to others on need, the world would be a better place to live in.
【答案】①had—去掉had ； ②noise改为noisy ； ③comes改为came ； ④but改为and ； ⑤searching ∧the ticket—for； ⑥his改为its/the； ⑦a改为the ； ⑧previous改为previously； ⑨strangers改为stranger ； ⑩on改为in。
【知识点】短文改错
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了一次乘火车旅行的经历。
①考查时态。句意：我注意到车厢里很吵闹都是人。 本文叙述的是过去发生的一件事情，不需要使用过去完成时，因为过去完成时表示的是“过去的过去”。故将noticed前面的had去掉。
②考查形容词。 本句中应该使用形容词noisy和系动词was构成系表结构，修饰车里当时的情况。故将noise改为noisy 。
③考查时态。 因为本文讲述的是过去发生的事情，所以使用一般过去时。故将comes改为came。
④考查连词。 句意：一位乘客找不到自己的票，很难受。上下文之间是顺接关系，所以使用and，故将but改为and 。
⑤考查固定短语。 每个人都帮助他找票。search for sth.寻找某物。故将searching后面加for 。
⑥考查代词。 句意：这张票最终是在它的主人几排后面的座位下面被找到的。Its指代the ticket。故将his改为its/the。
⑦考查冠词。 the 使用定冠词the特指上文提及的同一事物，本文中特指前面提及的那张票。故将a改为the 。
⑧考查副词。 本句中应该使用副词previously作状语，修饰谓语动词。形容词previous通常作为定语或者表语，不能作状语，故将previous改为previously。
⑨考查名词。 句意：他们如此迅速地给与陌生人他们的帮助。本句中的陌生人就是指那张票的主人，是一个单数形式。故将strangers改为stranger。
⑩考查固定短语 。句意：如果我们向那些需要帮助的人表示关心，这个世界就会变得更美好。固定搭配in need表示“需要”，故将on改为in。
【点评】本题考点涉及时态，形容词，连词，固定短语，代词，冠词，副词以及名称等知识点的考查，覆盖面广，综合性强，难度较大，区分度高。

Dear Mr. Wang,
Yours sincerely
Li Yue
【答案】Dear Mr. Wang,
Knowing that our library is going to buy books, I'd like to give some suggestions. What we need most are popular science books. Usually popular science books explain basic principles of nature in a simple and interesting way. They help us understand science subjects better and arouse our curiosity about scientific discoveries. In addition to reading for knowledge, we read for fun and inspiration. That is why I recommend another category of books：literary books. Classic works, written by masters, present great thoughts through fascinating stories and language. They not only offer us joy and excitement, but also encourage us to think critically. I'll be glad if you can consider my recommendation.
Yours sincerely,
Li Yue
