辽宁鞍山市2014高考英语书面表达、阅读理解训练题（17） 附答案（安徽省“江南十校”高三联考） a scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. some last a few minutes before they give in. but others are determined to wait until the last moment. by the time the children reach high schoo1,something remarkable has happened. a survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. the children who gave in to temptation(诱惑)early were more likely to be lonely. easily frustrated and inflexible(顽固的). actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesnt show up on an iq test. the hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists concerns. but brain theory cant explain what we wonder about most,like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul. here comes the theory of daniel goleman, writer of emotional intelligence：when it comes to predicting peoples success, brain ability measured by iq may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as character. eq is not the opposite of iq. what researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how ones ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. among the ingredients (要素)for success, researchers now generally agree that iq counts for about 20;the rest depends off everything from social class to luck. while many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear eq invites misuse.（3)the underlined word upbeat in paragraph 4 probably means_.a. kind b. floating c. excited d. optimistic(4)why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?a. to amuse both the children and readers.b. to prove the scientists wisdom.c. to introduce the topic of the text.d. to show us how to do an iq test.(5)what is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?a. information about famous people with high eq.b. examples showing the opposite voice about eq.c. some reasons why eq is a relatively new field.d. strong demands for basic emotional education.【解析】 这篇文章讲述了情商所起的重要作用、它与智商的关系以及人们应如何看待。(1)c推理判断题。从文章第二段的第二句可推出答案为c。 (2)c正误判断题。从倒数第二段的第一句eq is not the opposite of iq. 可知eq和iq并没有相对立的关系，由此可判断c项正确。(3)d猜测词义题。从画线词所在句后面的内容“困难可打倒意志不坚定的人”可猜测出upbeat是“乐观的”意思。(4)c写作意图题。文章从make an experiment入手，从而引出作者要谈及的话题eq和iq。(5)b文章结构题。从文章的最后部分some few fear. eq invites misuse可推出，下文最有可能谈及少数人对eq持否定态度的例子。*结束（2011年深圳市高三年级第一次调研考试） the good news is that james camerons avatar，his first big film since titanic，12 years ago，is a good film. the bad newsat least for cameronis that his film is not the masterpiece he set out to make. nobody spends so much money(more than214 million)or spends so much time(the project started in 1995)to make just a good film. no，cameron has intended to make a classic sciencefiction epic(史诗) that will take its place along with star wars, the matrix or his own terminator films， but，amazingly enough，avatar is so beautiful that its almost too rich to take in and appreciate on one viewing. its not afraid of social and political comments，educating us in the evils(邪恶)of capitalism while entertaining us with the evils of capitalism. the curious thing about avatar is that，for all of its advanced technological work，there is something out of date. the idea of humans using other bodies to travel in other worlds was an exciting concept for novelists and film-makers back in the 1990s. second life can be easily found in films of that decade. avatars political idea also seems out of date. humans destroy things for short-sighted profits，and this has been going on all the time throughout the human history，hasnt it? undoubtedly,cameron unbelievably succeeds in creating an extremely beautiful world that nobody has ever seen. but this wonderful shell of beauty cant make up avatars lack of heart. in the past，cameron could always mix big scenes with strong feelings. whats missing here is the heartbreaking moment. the love story between jake and neytiri doesnt take off the way jack and rose did in titanic. however，despite all these, we will be left with a film thats no masterpiece. but still well worth seeing.【解析】 本文是一篇电影评论，作者从独特的角度对阿凡达提出了令人耳目一新的见解。 (1)c推理判断题。根据第一段第三句中的内容可知虽然此片是一部好电影，但是考虑到高昂的制作成本，有些不值得。(2)b细节理解题。由第一段内容可知cameron打算制作出一部与星球大战黑客帝国和自己的终结者相提并论的经典科幻史诗，可见b项黑客帝国不是他的作品。(3)c 细节理解题。根据第三段后半部分中的whats missing here is the heartbreaking moment. 可知阿凡达的弊端是缺少令人心碎的时刻。(4)b 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句中的内容可推断阿凡达在表达自己的观点时无所畏惧。(5)d 作者态度题。由第二段和第三段可知阿凡达是一部科幻电影；再根据最后一段中的内容可知作者认为阿凡达虽然不是杰作，但仍然不愧为一部值得观看的电影。由此选d项。*结束河北省高考英语二轮复习专题训练：阅读理解（50） lawmakers in the united states have expanded an investigation into the use of location-tracking systems on mobile devices. the action follows recent reports about the storing of information on the apple iphone. some people consider location tracking to be a threat to personal privacy and security.allan friedman, the research director, says, “all wireless companies do some location tracking as part of their networks. this information is usually stored by the companies, not the devices, and there are laws to protect it. law enforcement(执法) agencies, for example, have to have a fairly high standard before it can access that data. and the phone company is also prohibited from selling that information.now, two researchers report that location tracking information is being stored directly on apple devices. they said apples newest operating systems gather global positioning system and timestamp information. the information is stored on the device in a file that is also uploaded (上传) to any computer that the device is connected to. the researchers say the information is available to anyone who has access to the device or computer.allan friedman says, “this raises additional concerns. theres the idea that because its on my phone and on my computer, rogue applications(恶意程序) that i pay for or that im tricked into downloading may be able to access this data and somehow misuse it.”apple says it is “not tracking the location of your iphone”. it is simply keeping a database of wi-fi hotspots and cellphone towers near the users location. this information is meant to help the iphone quickly find its location when needed.letters have been sent to some of the leading mobile device developers, including apple and google. the letters asked for more information about their location tracking systems. allan friedman calls this an important start to strengthening privacy laws. he says, “there arent strong controls over things like location information, what they are doing with it, how long they are keeping it. and perhaps the most important question is, is my location data with other facts about me?”5.why did american lawmakers investigate the use of location-tracking systems on cell-phones?a. because the systems can store users informationb. because many users have suffered loss after using them.c. because it is thought to threaten users privacy.d. because many reporters have shown the problem of the systems.6. allan friedman believes that _.a. wireless companies focus on personal privacy.b. people are forbidden to get access to private data at willc. phone companies may sell private information secretlyd. customers may ask wireless companies to locate their tracking7. what do we know from paragraph 3?a. location tracking information is stored online.b. apples newest operating systems collect all kinds of information.c. location tracking information may be uploaded to any iphone.d. apples newest operating systems may reveal the private information of users.8.which of the following statements is true according to the passage?a. apple denies that it tracks the location of users.b. the researchers may misunderstand the apples systems.c. the global positioning system is to blame for rogue applications.d. the iphone can quickly find its location by using its users information.参考答案-cbda *结束if youre into sports, youve seen it happen. youve probably even experienced it: basketball players shaking hands after four quarters of knocking each other around, tennis players leaping over the net to shake hands with their opponents (对手) after a hard-fought match, soccer players exchanging sport shirts after an intense 90 minutes, even boxers touching gloves at the beginning of each round, then hugging each other after beating each other into a pulp for 12 rounds. it seems like competitors in every event, from spelling bees to hockey, behave this way. whats going on?its all part of sportsmanship, a great tradition in sports and competition that means playing clean and handling both victory and defeat with grace, style, and dignity.what is sportsmanship?
