文檔簡介
2014高考英語考前20天沖刺閱讀理解There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外在的) result or a product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, and the foreigner who learns a new languageall these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts. By contrast (對照), the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept. In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow. Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, then we tend to take more changes and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think were shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe. Do we think were slow to adapt to change or that were not smart enough to deal with a new challenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all. These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not face and overcome these internal fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.1. In the authors eyes, one who views personal growth as a process would _.A. succeed in climbing up the social ladder B. judge his ability to grow from his own achievementsC. face difficulties and take up challenges D. aim high and reach his goal each time2. Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal growth?A. Our manager was always willing to accept new challenges.B. Little Tom won the first prize in the Speech Contest.C. Max picked up French while he was in Paris.D. Daddys salary rose from $3,000 to $3,800.3. About personal growth, the author advocates all of the following except _.A. curiosity about more changes B. quickness in self-adaptationC. open-mindedness to new experiencesD. avoidance of internal fears and doubts4. The best title for this passage should be _.A. Facing new challengesB. Growth product or processC. Unavoidable feeling of self-doubtD. Overcoming internal fearsWould you like to be a king or queen? To have people waiting on you hand and foot? Many Americans experience this royal (王室的) treatment every day.How? By being customers (顧客).The American idea of customer service is to make each customer the center of attention. Need proof ? Just listen to the advertisements: Most of them sound like the McDonalds said: “We do it all for you.”Actually, not all stores in America roll out the red carpet (地毯) for their customers. But wherever you go, good customer service means making customers feel special.People going shopping in America can expect to be treated with respect from the very beginning. Most places dont have a “furniture street” or a “computer road” which allow you to compare prices easily.Instead, people often use the telephone and “l(fā)et their fingers do the walking” through the Yellow Pages.From the first “hello,” customers receive a courteous response to their questions. The contact for the first time can help them decide where to shop.When customers get to the store, they are treated as honored guests. Customers dont usually find store clerks sitting around watching TV or playing cards.Instead, the clerks greet them warmly and offer to help them find what they want.In most stores, the signs that label each department make shopping very easy. Customers usually dont have to ask how much items cost, since prices are clearly marked.And unless theyre at a flea market (跳蚤市場) or a yard sale, they dont bother trying to bargain (討價還價).When customers are ready to check out, they find the nearest and shortest checkout way. Good stores open new checkout ways when the ways get too long.Some even offer express ways for customers with 10 items or less.After they pay for their purchases, customers receive a smile and a warm “thank you” from the clerk.Many stores even allow customers to take their shopping bags out to the parking place.That way, they dont have to carry heavy bags out to the car.5.We can learn from the first paragraph that customers in America _. A.are kings or queens from different countries B.are the God in the customer serviceC.are served with red carpet everywhere D.are treated in different ways6.The underlined word in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _.A.various B.loyal C.special D.polite7.The last paragraph mainly tells us _.A.customers can receive more service in stores B.customers enjoy great convenience in checkoutC.stores offer many more checkout ways to customers D.stores try to give much respect to their customers8.Which would be the best title for the passage?A.Wonderful customer service B.Customer service in AmericaC.An experience of royal service D.Customersthe centre of serviceWhen William Met JenniferI was on the train, on my way home, when I saw Jennifer sitting in the same carriage. My first thought was ” Its her”. It was the girl I used to see every day in the library when we were at university. Often I couldnt concentrate on my work when she was sitting so close to me, but in fact we never spoke once, all the time we were there. And now, eight years later. Here she was.So I walked up to her and said, “Weve met before, havent we ? Werent you in Durham University ?”Not a great line , I know ,but it broke the ice, and we talked for the rest of the journey.We got off the train at the same station, she said good-bye and disappeared. I was kicking myself for not getting her telephone number. But then, thank goodness, she came back and said she had to wait on the same platform for her next train. We carried on talking, but when her train arrived, I realized that I didnt have her number. This was my last chance. I pushed a pen at her and she scribbled her number on a piece of paper just as the train pulled out. I go home and the first thing I said to my flat mate was: ”Do you remember that girl I couldnt stop talking about at university?” and he said, ”O(jiān)h, noyes, of course I remember” I then talked about her non-stop for an hour. Finally, I phoned her later that evening and we arranged to meet the next day Six months later we went to Australia and worked together for a year. When we came back, we got married.

D. after they got married.The 80s “important role” in the family has also meant a greater concentration and focus on the individual. And, it has made the word “me” one of the most frequently used words. Everything seems to be about “me”. This generation has a greater awareness of itself.Some people do not seem to agree that all this is self-centred. When Cai Fuchao, Beijings publicity head, was asked to comment on the lack of responsibility of university students during the SARS period, his reply was: “Modern university students are ambitious, knowledgeable and have a very strong sense of responsibility to the society.”As news analyst from , Pan Fengliang, echoed(隨聲附和)that, saying that blindly blaming them(for running away during the SARS outbreak)was prejudiced and unfair and not backed with evidence.No doubt, the development of information technology has contributed its bit to broadening, or bending, the minds of the 80s generation.Some people even call Gen80 “the E-generation”。 They get in touch with each other via email, QQ, ICQ and MSN.While the people of the 60s and 70s swarmed(涌往)to Shanghai to catch Luo Dayou, Gen80s were on the BBS saying that it was “really dumb”。“The internet is so much more to those of the 80s than you can imagine,” said Wu Junyong, an IT engineer who was born in 1978.In Wus opinion, its the Internet that separates the 70s from the 80s, “Many of the70s dont see why those from the 80s can spend everyday in front of a computer.”A new weekly Magazine/163.com survey last year found that 40 percent of the 7,000 people surveyed, born in the 80s, thought the computer was the most important article in life; more than 70 percent of their parents preferred the home.13. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.The development of information technology contributed to the 80sgreater awareness ofitself.B.The E-generation rushed to Shanghai to catch Luo Dayou.C.All the 80s can spend every day in front of a computer.D.Not all people think that the “born in the 1980s” are selfish and irresponsible.14. What can we infer from the passage?A.All the 80s have a strong sense of responsibility to the society.B.Computers play a more important part in the life of the 80s, who perhaps cant live without them.C.The 80s generation are ambitious, knowledgeable and responsible.D.People cant imagine why the 80s like internet so much.15. The best title for this passage could be _.A. The self-centred generation B. The internet generationC. The “born in the 80s”generation D. The life of the 80s16. The purpose of this passage is to tell us _.A.peoples different opinions towards the 80s generation.B.the 80s are the E-generation.C.the 80s are different from others in society.D. the80s have their own characteristics and we shouldnt lose confidence in themIn deciding upon a unit of measurement, it is possible to pick anything. For example, the average height of a man could possibly have been a unit of measurement. In fact, some of the units used today in English-speaking countries are based on such things as the distance from a mans elbow to the tip of his middle finger or the weight of a grain of wheat.Because there have been so many differences in weights and measures used in different countries, an international system has been urged. One such system has been used by all countries of the world, it is the metric system.This is a system worked out by a committee of scientists appointed in France in l789. The English-speaking countries are almost the only ones that do not use the metric system in their measures. However it is used in scientific work even in those countries.The metric system is based on a measure of length called the “meter”. This is approximately (近似) one ten-millionth of the distance on the Earths surface from pole to equator, which is about 3937 miles.The metric system is based on 10 as is our number system so that each unit of length is 10 times as large as the next smaller unit. There are square and cubic units for measuring area and volume which correspond to the units of length.The unit of weight is the gram, which is the weight of a cubic centimeter of pure water. The liter is a meas
