　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

　　Although April did not bring us the rains we all hoped for, and although the Central Valley doesn’t generally experience the sound and lightning that can go with those rains, it’s still important for parents to be able to answer the youthful questions about thunder and lightning.

　　The reason these two wonders of nature are so difficult for many adults to explain to children is that they are not very well understood by adults themselves. For example, did you know that the lightning we see flashing down to the earth from a cloud is actually flashing up to a cloud from the earth? Our eyes trick us into thinking we see a downward motion when it’s actually the other way around. But then, if we believed only what we think and we see, we’d still insist that the sun rises in the morning and sets at night.

　　Most lightning flashes take place inside a cloud, and only a relative few can be seen jumping between two clouds or between earth and a cloud. But, with about 2,000 thunderstorms taking place above the earth every minute of the day and night, there’s enough activity to produce about 100 lightning strikes on earth every second.

　　Parents can use thunder and lightning to help their children learn more about the world around them. When children understand that the light of the lightning flashing reaches their eyes almost at the same moment, but the sound of the thunder takes about 5 seconds to travel just one mile, they can begin to time the interval (间隔) between the flash and the crash to learn how close they were to the actual spark (闪光).

　　1. According to the author, in the area of the Central Valley____.

　　A. rains usually come without thunder and lightning.

　　B. it is usually dry in April

　　C. children pay no attention to the two natural wonders.

　　D. parents are not interested in thunder an lightning.

　　2. We believe that lightning is a downward motion because_______.

　　A. we were taught so by our parents from our childhood.

　　B. we are taken in by our sense of vision.

　　C. it is a common natural sight.

　　D. it is a truth proved by science.

　　3. What is TRUE about lightning according to the passage?

　　A. Only a small number of lightning flashes occur on earth.

　　B. Lightning flashes usually jump from one cloud to another.

　　C. Lightning travels 5 times faster than thunder.

　　D. There are far more lightning strikes occurring on earth than we can imagine.

　　4. The underlined word “activity”

　　is most closely related to the word (s) _____.

　　A. cloud

　　B. lightning strikes

　　C. lightning flashes

　　D. thunderstorms

　　5. It can be concluded from the passage that _______.

　　A. we should not believe what we see or hear.

　　B. things moving downward are more noticeable.

　　C. people sometimes may have wrong ideas about ordinary phenomena.

　　D. adults are not as good as children in observing certain natural phenomena.

　　【参考答案】1—5、ABDDC

　　【2015高考复习】阅读 As China becomes increasingly urbanized (城市化的)，it has to find space for its urban and rural citizens as both groups become increasingly integrated.

　　Experts suggest a possible model way may be re­inventing a “garden city”．

　　China's mega­cities are bursting at the borders and the

　　country is now undergoing the quickest and biggest urbanization

　　in the history of mankind. It is estimated that by 2025, China

　　will have 400 million more people living in its cities, raising

　　its urban population to 900 million.

　　Besides, new satellite

　　towns are mushrooming on the urban fringes while city ring

　　roads are rippling outwards into the countryside at amazing

　　speed. Satellite maps collected by Professor Joshua Bolchover

　　at the University of Hong Kong bring the problem sharply into

　　focus. They track the changing rural­urban framework in the

　　past 30 years, and suggest that cities are cruelly destroying

　　surrounding rural land and rapidly reducing the amount of

　　arable(可耕种的)land, which gives way to new residential

　　blocks, new industrial zones, new financial centers and the

　　other inevitable signs and signatures of economic growth.

　　This,

　　however,

　　is

　　not

　　sustainable

　　growth

　　pattern, especially when China has the world's largest population to

　　feed. So concerned urban planners are starting to note the

　　social and physical effects of diaspora(大移居)when replaced

　　rural communities are forced into the cities.

　　On the other hand, a trend of thought is gradually taking shape and this is the concept of the “garden city”， a combination of country and city that is being proposed by architects and city planners. Hua Li, from Tao Architects, is among the many professionals with such a voice. His argument is supported by a long­term study on this subject. As Hua says, the answer is to preserve patches of productive farmland within urban boundaries. Less transportation means we have fresh agricultural products at lower costs and less carbon emission in the city. And urban farmland can also be showcased for agricultural tourism and education.

　　The concept is already practiced at grass roots level.Agriculture has gone into the air, up to roof and balcony in some communities in the cities. It's common to see organic

　　“hanging garden” on the roof of some traditional courtyard home. According to some people, the rooftop project translates into practical benefits, such as safe, nutritious vegetables and a cooler home in summer. Some say thanks to the tomatoes they plant that are natural insect killers, there're fewer mosquitoes. Apart from these, it also contributes to better bonding with neighbors. Zhang, a doctor in Beijing, began creating his hanging garden five years ago. Since his garden became home to 30 kinds of vegetables and fruit—all enough to feed his family, neighbors have enjoyed dropping by for a relaxing chat or just to see how well the lovely vegetables and fruit are growing.

　　Although people like Zhang are still rare and the greening of roof space with vegetables and fruit takes skill and energy，with more positive media exposure and advanced technology there is the prospect that garden city will become common practice in the near future. By then, cities will no longer look so gray when seen from the satellites.

　　【语篇解读】 中国的城市化进程不断加快，这是一个我们不得不面对的现实。如果不能较好地应对，这对我们来说将是个灾难。城市和农村将如何融合共生？

　　【2015高考复习】阅读 A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism, a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the Net, use e­mails and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer，and it becomes a compulsive habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.

　　Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. This obsessional behavior has affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites.

　　They become hooked on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and don't concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at school.Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there.

　　Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life.

　　They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends.

　　The relation with their friends changes.

　　The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.

　　Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to keep themselves apart from the society and live with their virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident with real live friends they have known all their life. It is a problem for the future. This addictive behavior is beginning to affect all the world.
