　　重庆市2014高考英语阅读理解一轮（精品）训练题（1）附答案

　　　There was a story many years ago of a school teacher--- Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.

　　Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mother’s perfume(香水)。

　　Teddy said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.” After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.

　　Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy’s mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.

　　Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M. D.(医学博士).

　　The story doesn’t end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered (耳语) in Mrs. Thompson’s ear, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference.”

　　Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.”

　　54. What did Mrs. Thompson do on the first day of school?

　　A. She made Teddy feel ashamed.

　　B. She asked the children to play with Teddy.

　　C. She changed Teddy’s seat to the front row.

　　French tourist outsmarts Dutch thief

　　AMSTERDAM—A quick­thinking French tourist outsmarted a Dutch thief after the thief tried to seize his bag, Amsterdam police said Wednesday.

　　After winning a brief tug­of­war over the sports bag, the 27­year­old tourist ran into a nearby police station with the thief in hot pursuit.

　　The thief“realized too late he had run straight into ‘the_long_arm_of_the_law’”，police spokeswoman Wilma Verheij said of the incident，which took place Tuesday.

　　After it dawned on the thief, a 28­year­old man whose identity was not released, said that he was in the middle of a police station, so he tried to run away again. But he was quickly caught by officers and arrested，Verheij said.

　　Liz Taylor remains hospitalized

　　LOS ANGELES—Heart trouble is keeping Elizabeth Taylor hospitalized in Los Angeles for some time, but her publicist says the 78­year­old actress is OK and has been visiting with family and friends.

　　Taylor's spokeswoman Sally Morrison said in a statement Tuesday that the two­time Oscar winner is comfortable at Cedars­Sinai Medical Center and“there has been steady improvement in her condition” since she was admitted last week.

　　Taylor is being treated for symptoms of heart failure, a condition she revealed in November 2004.

　　“Her medical team is satisfied by her progress to date, and it is hoped and expected that this will continue over the next few days. For now, she will remain under their care in the hospital for continued monitoring，” Morrison said. “Friends and fans around the world should be convinced that Elizabeth Taylor is in good health and receiving the best possible care from her skilled and devoted doctors and nurses.”

　　Morrison described Taylor's condition as stable but offered no other details.

　　Japan halts(暂停) whale hunt after chase by protesters

　　TOKYO—Japan has halted its annual Antarctic whale hunt following protests from a campaign group. Activists from the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society，a US­based environmental group, have been chasing the Japanese fishing ship.

　　Commercial whaling was banned in 1986 but Japan uses a regulation permitting hunting for scientific research.

　　Iceland and Norway have claimed official objections to the ban and continue to hunt commercially.

　　“Putting safety as a priority, the ship has halted scientific whaling for now. We are currently considering what to do，” Tatsuya Nakaoku, an official at the fisheries agency, told Reuters news agency.

　　The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society says one of its boats has been blocking the ship loading ramp(斜梯) ，preventing any hunted whales from being loaded on to the ship. “Every whale saved is a victory to us, so we've gotten a lot of victories down here this year，” Sea Shepherd captain Paul Watson told Reuters news agency by satellite phone from the Steve Irwin ship.

　　“Choo，Choo！”Here comes the Chunnel train. Get aboard if you want to learn more about this underground transportation system. This is an unusual form of transportation, because it is a tunnel that trains travel through and not an actual form of transportation.

　　The Chunnel is actually the English nickname for the Channel Tunnel. In French，it is called le tunnel sous la Manche. It is a rail tunnel beneath the English Channel at the Straits of Dover. It connects Cheriton in Kent, England with Sangatte in northern France. It is the second longest rail tunnel in the world.

　　Did you know that the British and the French had a race while they were building the Chunnel? The race was to see who could get to the middle of the tunnel first. The British won by a little bit. It took 15,000 workers over seven years to dig the tunnel. The tunnel was finished in 1994.

　　The completed Chunnel cost about $21 billion. But it all paid off, because it became very popular, very quick. Millions of people use it. Now it is getting even more popular.

　　There are three complete tunnels in the Chunnel. The two outside ones are the passenger trains. The small inner one is a guidance train. The guidance train is not used for transportation. Each track is exactly parallel to each other.

　　There are four different train systems in the Chunnel. The Eurostar is a high speed passenger service that connects London, Paris, Brussels and Lille. The Eurotunnel shuttle is a rail ferry service. These shuttles carry cars and vans. These are railcars that allow drivers to drive their vehicles on and off. There are also two Eurotunnel goods service trains.

　　Now you know more about the Chunnel. Everybody off，this is the last stop.

　　(2011·皖南八校第三次联考，D)

　　You can love them or hate them, but no matter which tourist destination you visit, chances are you'll see someone with their head buried in a Lonely Planet guidebook.

　　Lonely Planet is one of the world's largest travel guide brands, publishing more than 500 different guides in eight languages. The popular brand also produces television shows, websites and podcasts(播客) all devoted to travel.

　　Some people praise Lonely Planet books because they make traveling easy and affordable. They also save time and make sure you don't miss the best things.

　　They also provide the reviews of hostels(旅社), hotels, restaurants and ticket information about your destination.

　　This can be great if you're a nervous traveler，or if you haven't traveled by yourself before. If you're in a country where you don't speak the language, sometimes there's nothing better than getting into a taxi and opening up a guidebook. You simply point to a map that directs the taxi driver to a hostel that's cheap and clean, with friendly staff and cold beer.

　　But others criticize Lonely Planet and other travel guide publishers like them. They say guidebooks take the fun and spontaneity(自发性) out of traveling，and that part of the enjoyment of travel comes from the fact that anything can happen. They also regret that if you follow a guidebook，you'll end up doing the same thing and having the same experience as everyone else. You might end up seeing the same group of people over and over, because everyone is reading the same book and following the same route.

　　Another criticism of travel guides is that they have a large impact on local communities. For example, some locals devote their lives to behaving in ways that attract tourists. They pretend to live a traditional lifestyle, wear traditional clothes and live in traditional houses in order to attract the tourist dollar.

　　旅游指南真是让人喜欢让人恨。它在给人们的旅游带来便利的同时也使人们失去了旅游的自发性、冒险性带来的乐趣等。

　　13．The Lonely Planet guidebook can bring you the following advantages EXCEPT that ________.

　　A. you can speak a foreign language when opening a guidebook

　　B. you can easily find a nice place to stay in a strange city

　　C. it provides lots of useful information about your destination

　　D. it can help you save time and money when traveling

　　答案：A。事实细节题。由第五段可知B正确；由第四段可知C项正确；由第三段可知D正确；A在文中没有提及。

　　14．People criticize the guidebook because ________.

　　A. it is not as useful as most travelers expect

　　B. tourist destinations will be crowded if everyone follows the same route

　　C. travelers may not get the chance to have unexpected adventures

　　D. local people keep modern lifestyles under its influence

　　答案：C。细节推断题。由第六段中的“...and that part of the enjoyment of travel comes from the fact that anything can happen”可知C正确。

　　15．What do we know about the Lonely Planet guidebook from the text?

　　A. It's a world­famous brand only producing guidebooks for travelers.

　　B. It's very useful to a person who's nervous about touring an unfamiliar place.

　　C. It's very useful to a tourist who likes to repeat others' experiences.

　　D. It is loved by all travelers because of the convenience it brings to travelers.

　　答案：B。事实细节题。由第五段首句“This can be great if you're a nervous traveler...”可知B正确。

　　16．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? (①—⑦ stand for Paragraph 1—Paragraph 7)

　　答案：C。文章结构题。分析文章的段落结构可知C项正确。第一段是引出话题，第二段简要介绍Lonely Planet，三、四、五段叙述的是其有益的一面，六、七段叙述的是其不好的一面，与C项结构示意图吻合。
