The airline had announced her departure and standing near the security gate, they hugged and he said, “I love you. I wish you enough

8、.”She in turn said, “Dad, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Dad.” They kissed and she left.He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude ( 打扰 ) on

9、his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, “Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?”2,4,6“Yes, I have,” I replied. “Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” “I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead, and the reality is, the nex

10、t trip back will be for my funeral（葬礼）,” he said.“When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, I wish you enough. May I ask what that means?”He began to smile. “Thats a wish that has been handed down for many generations within my family. My parents used to say it to everyone.”He paused for a mome

11、nt, looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, and then he smiled even more. “When we said I wish you enough, we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain（使持续） them,” he continued and then turning toward me he shared the following:“I wish you

12、enough sun to keep your attitude bright.I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.I wish you enough loss to appreci

13、ate all that you possess.I wish you enough Hellos to get you enough the final Good-byes.”Then he walked away. I WISH YOU ENOUGH!21The father was at the airport to _.Awelcome his daughter home. Bsee his daughter offCmeet his daughter and the author Dshare the touching poem with the author22It can be

14、inferred that _.Athe daughter was eager to leave her father.BIt was not convenient for the father and daughter to see each other face to face.CThe daughter is looking forward to her fathers funeral.DThe daughter did not want her father to live together with her.23What is probably the authors feeling

15、 after hearing the fathers words explaining the meaning “I wish you enough”?AmovedBsatisfied Cinterested Dsorrowful24Which is probably the best title of this story?AEnough is Enough BYou Can Never be Happy EnoughCFather and Daughter DI Wish You EnoughBTreat with RespectThe speed with which Man is ch

16、anging the face of Earth has outstripped（超过）all the mighty processes of nature put together. In his haste to supply himself with increasing quantities of Earths treasures he risks destroying one he greatly needs, his natural surroundings. Some countries set aside unspoiled areas of natural beauty. C

17、anada has the largest system of national parks in the world, 29 in all covering about 13 million hectares, preserving the different landscapes and the plant and animal life.Other countries are restoring areas which have been reduced to waste land by mining. At Broken Hill in Australia drifting sand

18、from rock crushing turned the area into a desert swept by sand storms. This is now being irrigated, fertilized and planted with grass and trees. In Great Britain quarries and gravel pits are being filled in or made into lakes, industrial wasteland is being turned into playing fields and waste tips i

19、nto sloping green hills.However Man tries to look after Earth the fact is that he is using up at a great rate resources, especially fuel resources, which have taken millions of years to accumulate and which he cannot renew. Yet every day the Earth receives a huge supply of energy from the Sun. Man h

20、as made several experiments in using solar energy to heat furnaces, cookers, and water-distillers. In space technology, e.g. on satellites, solar cells convert sunlight into electricity. Houses and offices have been designed which are centrally heated by water or air heated by the sunlight. When Man

21、 can trap and store this energy, so that he can use it exactly as he needs it, he will have not only an endless supply, but a clean and safe one.25The main idea of the second paragraph is _.AMany areas throughout the world have been transformed into wasteland by mining.BAustralia and Great Britain a

22、re the only two countries that are changing the face of the Earth.CSome countries are taking effective measures to make use of the wasteland and to beautify the Earth.DDeveloping countries should learn from developed countries to look after our natural surroundings.26According to this selected passa

23、ge, which energy is considered to be endless, clean and safe?AEnergy from lake waters BEnergy from fuel resources which have taken millions of years to accumulateCEnergy from forestsDEnergy from the Sun27Which country has the largest scale of nature protection according to this passage?AGreat Britai

24、n BAustralia Cthe U.S.A DCanada28Which of the following statements do you think is true after reading the passage?AMan is destroying the natural surroundings on purpose because the surroundings cannot make them satisfied to get enough treasures.BAll the wasteland throughout the world is being irriga

25、ted, fertilized and planted with grass and trees.CWhere there is a desert, there can be sand storms.DEnergy from waters, forests, fuel resources and the sun takes millions of years to accumulate.2,4,6CWe have heard of counterfeiting before. Usually it refers to people making money by printing it ins

26、tead of earning it. But counterfeiting also can involve all sorts of consumer goods and manufactured products. From well-known brand names such as Calvin Klein jeans to auto parts, counterfeiters have found ways to produce goods that look authentic. In some instances, counterfeit products look bette

27、r than the original! The demand of brand-name products has helped counterfeiting grow into a very profitable business throughout the world and into a serious problem for legal manufacturers and consumers alike. Faulty counterfeit parts have caused more than two dozen crashes. Most counterfeit auto p

28、arts do not meet federal safety standards.Counterfeiting hurts manufacturers in many ways. Analysts estimate that, in the United States alone, annual revenue loss runs form $ 6 billion to $ 8 billion. Perhaps even worse, consumers blame the innocent manufacturers when they unknowingly buy a counterf

29、eit product and find it doesnt perform as expected. Sometimes entire economies can suffer. For instance, when farmers in Kenya and Zaire used counterfeit fertilizers, both countries lost most crops. By copying other firms products, counterfeiters avoid research and development costs and most marketi

30、ng costs. High-tech products such as computers and their software products are especially easy to attack. As long as counterfeiting is profitable, large quantities of products are available to copy, and the laws are difficult to enforce, counterfeiters can be expected to proper for a long time. 29Th

31、e word “counterfeiting” most probably means _.Amaking things of poor quality for profitBmaking things of good quality for profitCillegal making of things by copyingDlegal making of things by copying30The most appropriate title for the passage would be _.AThe Effects of Counterfeiting BThe Problem of

32、 Counterfeiting CThe Cause of Counterfeiting DThe Profit of Counterfeiting31It can be inferred from the passage that hand-made products are “_.”Aeasier to counterfeit than high-tech productsBmore difficult to counterfeit than high-tech productsCless profitable to counterfeit than high-tech productsD

33、more profitable to counterfeit than high-tech products 32The quality of most counterfeit products is _.Anot up to the standards of America Bup to the standards of AmericaCso poor that few people want to buy the productsDso good that most people prefer them to the authentic onesBThe loss of a job can

34、 have a very serious impact on the individual. The immediate effect, of course, is a sharp drop in income. Unemployment benefits typically offer less than half the individuals previous earnings(收入), and many people are not even entitled to these benefitsfor example, the self-employed, recent graduat

35、es who have not held a steady job in the previous year, and people who have been employed for a long period. The economic pressure on the jobless is very severe, particularly for those who have young children or long-term commitments for expenses for houses and education.But the effects of unemploym

36、ent are not merely financial; they are also social and psychological. As one out-of-work teacher puts it: “Its difficult when you strip away all the things that supposedly hold you together in terms of an identity. Your work, your money, whatever is power to you, whatever is responsibility, whatever

37、 means freedom and choice.” I had to ask myself, “Who am I now? What will I do now?” All too often, long-term unemployment may thrust the individual into boredom, despair, ill-temper, and perhaps, conflict with other family members. Even those who keep their jobs are affected by rates of unemploymen

38、t, for they begin to fear for own future. Lacking the confidence that workers have in times of full employment, they negotiate less aggressively for improvements in pay or working conditions, for they and the employers know that if they do not like the job as it is, others will gladly take it. Unemp

39、loyment is always accompanied, in fact, by underemploymentthe situation in which people are working either for extremely low wages or at jobs below their level of skill.33It can be inferred from the passage that unemployment benefits are given to _.Apeople who are self-employed but now unemployedBre

40、cent graduates who have not held a steady job in the previous yearCpeople who have been unemployed for a long period Dpeople who have been unemployed for a short period34According to the passage, _ .Athe loss of a job can have little impact on the individualBunemployment benefits are normally about

41、the same as a persons previous earningsCunemployment benefits are normally less than half of a persons previous earningsDthe economic pressure on the jobless is typically not very severe35By “underemployment”(Line 12, Para. 2), the writer means the situation in which _.Apeople are unemployed or low

42、skills are requiredBsome people are unemployed and poorly paid Cpeople are working for less than eight hours a dayDpeople are working for low wages or at jobs below their level of skill 36The best title for the passage would be _ .AThe Financial Effect of Unemployment BThe Social Effect of Unemploym

43、entCThe Psychological Effect of Unemployment DThe Effects of UnemploymentCIn only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest-growing U.S. minority (少数民族). As their children began moving up through the nations schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Thei

44、r achievements are reflected in the nations best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their educations abr

45、oad arrived in the U. S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectivel

46、y. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has

47、to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that breeds success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize ed

48、ucation. Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial (种族的) image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants (移民) were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down givin

49、g all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.37While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian- American students _.Afeel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English Bare afraid that their academic successes bear a strong Asian characterCstill worry about unfair treatment i

50、n societyDgenerally feel it is a shame to have to depend on their parents38What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans.AA solid foundation in basic mathematics and being Asian Americans.BHard work and intelligence. CParental help and a limited knowledge of English.DAsian

51、 culture and the American educational system.39Why do the two “explanations” (Line 1, Para. 3 ) worry Asian Americans ?AThey are afraid that they would again be isolated from American society in general.BPeople would think that Asian students rely on their parents for success.CAsian Americans would

52、be a threat to other minoritiesDAmerican academic achievements have taken on too strong an Asian character.40The authors tone in this passage is .Asympathetic Bdoubtful Ccritical Dobjective EIII.任务型阅读2,4,6In the passage below five sentences are missing. Read the passage through and decide where five

53、 of the six sentences below should go.AWilliams, who knew the dangers of the area, had refused to consult charts or maps and had become utterly lost in the bad weather.BWhen the Titanic sank, the stories of the courage mainly showed in the face of inevitable death moved the world.CMajor Sexton order

54、ed the survivors on deck, and in one of the more remarkable displays of courage seen, the soldiers stood silently to attention as the women and children were loaded into the life-boats.DWithin fourteen minutes t had sunk, taking with it 1,012 ordinary people.ETheir behaviour was shocking.FThere were

55、 about six hundred and eighty on board, of whom fifty were women and children.The Best and the WorstUnder the extreme conditions of a disaster, human beings display the best and worst they are capable of. In the midst of chaos “women and children first” is the traditional way of doing things. (41) .

56、 Sixty years before that, the passengers of another ship had shown even greater discipline and nobility in terrible circumstances. The ship was the Birkenhead, a steam-powered troopship transporting British troops to South Africa. On 26 February, 1852, the ship hit an uncharted rock while rounding t

57、he Cape of Good Hope. (42) . The remainders were soldiers and officers of the 74th Highlanders, led by Major Alexander Sexton. In addition, the ship was laden with horses.The initial collision had already caused dozens of the troops to be drowned as they slept below decks. (43) . The ship was sinkin

58、g rapidly and leaning, but they continued to stand until all the women and horses were driven over-board to give them a chance. Only then, at the order from Major Sexton, did they break ranks and try to save their own lives. But the ship broke up, and four hundred and eighty-eight of the soldiers di

59、ed.In complete opposition to this bravery, was the occasion when nearly all the casualties(人员伤亡) were women and children. This happened on 1 April, 1873. The White Star liner Atlantic, under the command of the incompetent Captain Williams, was wrecked on rocks off the coast of Nova Scotia. (44) . In

60、 the panic, the male passengers deserted their families and tried to escape ashore. (45) . There were five hundred and sixty deaths. Of the four hundred survivors, not one was a woman.温州十四中高三阅读理解题组训练三答题卡123456789101112131415AAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD1617181920212223
