‎2014届高考英语二轮复习 三月精品练习阅读理解 The gray-haired lady can’t wait to leave the building to search for her dad .Unless watched ,she will walk in the streets in an effort to find her father ,who died 30 years ago.‎ Not all cases of Alzheimer’s disease look like this ,but Alzheimer’s is a serious disease that is said to be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75.‎ It is said that about three percent of the U.S.‎ population over age 65 have Alzheimer’s .In the early stages ,people may exhibit short term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality , easy to be angry .As the disease progresses ,patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable to speak or move at all. This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years before death occurs.‎ While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brain’s nerve fibers （神经纤维）,their effect is certain .Alzheimer’s destroys not only the patients ,but also spouses（配偶）,friends and families.‎ What should you do if you notice progressive memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have the person examined by a doctor who is a specialist in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. ‎ Though many reasons other than Alzheimer’s disease may cause memory loss ,its early diagnosis（诊断）and treatment may delay some of the most serious effects.‎ What feeling will you likely experience should a loved one suffer from Alzheimer’ s disease? A person will often go through the various stages of sadness, shock ,anger ,and so on. If the spouse develops the disease ,you may experience hurt and disappointment when he or she doesn’t remember you are married.‎ Life for the Alzheimer’s patients and their loved ones will never be the same as the disease progresses ,bringing a deep sorrow ,loss and even anger towards God .No matter what feelings are present ,facing them honestly will serve one better than burying them.‎ ‎1．‎ What can be inferred from the passage about the gray-haired day?‎ ‎ A．She has been living with her father.‎ ‎ B．She was sad about the death of her father.‎ ‎ C．She can’t search for her father without being watched.‎ ‎ D．She suffers from Alzheimer’s disease.‎ ‎2．‎ ‎．When people suffer from Alzheimer’s disease , ________.‎ A．their families and friends will suffer from the same disease ‎ B．their families and friends will experience mental sufferings C．they will certainly die in 8 to 10 years ‎ D．they will forget everybody but their spouses ‎3．‎ ‎．Memory loss occurs ________.‎ ‎ A．from Alzheimer’s disease and nothing else ‎ B．from sadness ,shock ,anger ,and so on ‎ ‎ C．for a number of reasons ‎ D．with changes in personality ‎4．Within fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes (结合)for the recycling of waste. The word "rubbish" could lose its meaning because everything that goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.‎ The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber.‎ Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that grounders and rollers break up everything that can be broken. Finally the rubbish will pass under magnets, which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.‎ The first full-scale giant recycling plants are, perhaps, fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.‎ ‎1. The main purpose of the passage is ________.‎ A. to show us a future way of recycling wastes B. to tell the importance of recycling wastes C. to warn people the danger of some wastes D. to introduce a new recycling plant ‎2. How many stages are there in the recycling process?‎ A. 3. B. 4. C. 5. D. 6.‎ ‎3. What is the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?‎ A. To deal with wastes in a better way. B. It’s a good way to gain profits.‎ C. It’s more economical than to dump wastes in some distant places.‎ D. Energy can be got at a lower price. ‎ ‎4. The first full-scale huge recycling plants ________.‎ A. have been in existence for 15 years B. takes 15 years to build C. can’t be built until 15 years later D. will remain functioning for 15 years ‎5．‎ C ‎ Every once in a while, it is necessary to take a step back in order to take a long, hard look at where we are in our lives. At this point, it is good to ‎ ask yourself a bunch of critical questions. Have you so far accomplished all of your goals in life ? If so, you have not accomplished your goals in life, then perhaps you have made the mistake of setting too many goals or trying to accomplish them at an unnaturally fast pace.‎ ‎ It is necessary to set reasonable, intelligent goals in order to succeed in life. Do not be unrealistic because life is not a fairy tale. But you should try to recognize what you want,when attempting to visualize（形象化） or otherwise express what your goals in life are. ‎ ‎ In order for a goal to sufficiently motivate you, it needs to be a major one. The bigger your goals are, then the more motivated you will need to be to work towards accomplishing them. If you want, you are a beginner, then no doubt mastering those tough songs is a very intelligent and realistic goal to set. But if that is your only goal as a pianist achieved. This is why it is necessary to constantly stop and re-evaluate our goals so that we are aware of what they are, and thus stay motivated.‎ ‎49.

Goals Help You to Succeed Situated in the South West of England, between Exeter and Plymouth, Torquay is one of the most popular holiday resorts in Britain. It provides a variety of entertainment, sports of every kind and cultural facilities, all set in a position of outstanding natural beauty. Visitors can choose between luxury hotels by the sea, with private suites（套房），swimming pools and saunas, and comfortable but less expensive guest houses. There are camping sites, too, and hundreds of houses displaying“B & B”signs. ‎ As well as a number of small quiet bays, which are ideal for beach barbecues away from the crowds, Torquay has large sandy beaches where you can buy refreshments（饮料）and hire deck chairs, boats and even beach huts. There are large areas of grassland overlooking the sea, and miles of winding cliff paths for walkers who just want to enjoy the scenery and what is often said to be the healthiest air in the country. For the sportsmen and women there are opportunities not only for golf, tennis, squash and bowls, but also for water-skiing, hang-gliding and deep-sea fishing.‎ After a day in the open air, there’s lots to do in the evenings, too. There ‎ are plenty of discos, the occasional opera or ballet, and summer variety shows in the seafront theatres. For the children, there is a beautiful model village with a complicated railway layout which is remarkably realistic-especially when the lights are all on at night.‎ Of course, there’s no need to spend your whole holidays in Torquay. Only a short drive away is Dartmoor‎ ‎National Park, where you can walk for miles through dramatic, unspoiled countryside, or picnic by beautiful rivers and streams.

In an exclusive interview with CCTV, China’s ambassador to Cambodia, Pan Guangxue, says Sihanouk made indelible(不可磨灭的) contributions to Sino-Cambodian relations and his death will not affect the friendship between the two countries.‎ Since its founding, the People’s Republic of China has maintained close contact with Cambodia. Bilateral(双边的) trade volume has increased rapidly in recent years, from 200 million US dollars in 2002 to nearly 2.5 billion US dollars in 2011.‎ China‎ is now not only Cambodia’s third largest trading partner, but for many years has been Cambodia’s number one investor. Norodom Sihanouk‎, ‎Cambodia’s “King-Father” pioneered the relationship.‎ Pan Guangxue said, “If we look back at previous decades, I think Sihanouk made the right choice, a choice good to Cambodian national development. It was because of his commitment to the development of Sino-Cambodia friendship that we’ve achieved what we have today.”‎ In 2010, the two countries established a comprehensive strategic partnership, during its Prime Minister Hun Sen’s visit to China.‎ And 2013 is set to be China-Cambodia Friendship Year.‎ Pan Guangxue said, “Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said on many occasions that China does not tell Cambodia what to do or what not to do. China does not point fingers at Cambodia. I think this is a true evaluation of Sino-Cambodian relations. China pursues an independent peaceful foreign policy of non-alignment(不结盟) and non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries.”‎ The ambassador says Sihanouk’s death is a huge loss to both China and Cambodia, but that bilateral relations will not be affected.‎ Pan Guangxue said, “I believe the bilateral relationship will be sustained and grow even stronger.”‎ With both countries enjoying the benefits of the fruitful relationship, the governments of China and Cambodia have promised that Sihanouk’s legacy(遗产) will continue to be the foundation of even stronger ties.‎ ‎14．We can learn from the passage that Sihanouk ________.‎ A. is the present Cambodian Prime Minister B. went for an interview with CCTV the other day C. made the right choice to encourage investment in ‎China D. had great influence on Sino-Cambodian relations ‎15．The following facts can prove the good Sino-Cambodian relations EXCEPT that _______.‎ A.

It will more or less damage the bilateral relationship.‎ B. It will continue to be the foundation of even stronger ties.‎ C. It means a huge loss for both countries in economy.‎ D. It has very little negative effect on the bilateral relationship.‎ ‎17．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. China-Cambodia Friendship Year B.
