2014高考英語閱讀理解二輪基礎(chǔ)精品訓(xùn)練題（47）及答案閱讀理解 boiler rooms are often dirty and steamy, but this one is clean and cool. fox point is a very new47-unit living building in south bronx, one of the citys poorest areas. two-thirds of the people living there are formerly (以前) homeless people, whose rent is paid by the government. the rest are low-income families. the boiler room has special equipment, which produces energy for electricity and heat. it reuses heat that would otherwise be lost to the air, reducing carbon emissions(碳排放)while also cutting costs. fox point is operated by palladian, a group that specializes in providing housing and services to needy, people. palladian received support from enterprise community partners (ecp), which helps build affordable housing by providing support to housing developers. ecp has created national standards for healthy, environmentally (環(huán)境方面) clever and affordable homes which are called, the green communities standards. these standards include water keeping, energy saving and the use of environmentally friendly building materials. meeting the standards increases housing construction costs by 2%, which is rapidly paid back by lower running costs. even the positioning of a window to get most daylight can help save energy.michael. bloomberg, new yorks mayor, plans to create 165,000 affordable housing units for500,000 new

telephone is essential. but i think it is a pest and a time waster. very often you find it impossible to escape from some idle or curious chatter-box, or from somebody who wants something for nothing. if you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going out, or when you are taking your bath. are you strong minded enough to ignore it, to say to yourself,“ah, well, it will all be the same in a hundred years time” you are not. you think there may be some important news or messages for you. i can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. have you never rushed dripping from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number? but you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls. besides, you will say, isnt it important to have a telephone in case of emergencyillness, an accident, or fire? of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like england one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity. i think perhaps i had better try to justify myself by trying to prove that what i like is good. i admit that in different circumstancesif i were a tycoon(business vip),for instance, or bed ridden i might find a telephone essential. but then if i were a taxi-driver i should find a car essential. let me put it another way: there are two things for which the english seem to show particular talent; one is mechanical invention, the other is literature. my own business happens to be with the use of words but i see i must now stop using them. for i have just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. i think i had better answer it. after all, one never knows, it may be something important.36.the passage is mainly discussing _.a. that we should be strong enough to ignore a phone callb. that important message will reach you sooner or laterc. whether its necessary to answer all phone callsd. whether it is necessary to have a telephone提示:通讀全文，尤其是文章的第一段和最后一段可以得出此結(jié)論。答案:d37.judging from the passage, who is strong-minded enough to ignore a phone call?a. the author. b.a tycoon.c.a taxi-driver. d. hardly anyone.答案:d 大意理解，文章的第二段第三段可以看出38.according to the passage, the author_.a. thinks the telephone should go out of our lifeb. likes to be different from other peoplec. thinks the telephone is annoyingd. speaks favourably of a telephone提示:文章的第二句就說明了作者的觀點(diǎn)，后面又作了進(jìn)一步的補(bǔ)充說明。答案:c39.in the authors opinion, which of the following is not true?a. nearly everyone has been told a wrong number.b. its necessary for everyone to have a telephone.c. he himself can not decide whether to answer a call.d.a telephone directory may bring in unexpected

so. at your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. you should be learning how to stand on your own two feet. but take a look at the present rebellion. it seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. instead of striking out boldly（大膽地） on their own, most of them are clutching at (緊握) one anothers hands for reassurance.they claim that they want to dress as they please. but they all wear the same clothes. they set off in new directions in musil. but somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. their reason for thinking or acting in thusandsuch a way is that the crowd is doing it. they have come out of their cocoon into a lager cocoon.it has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. industry had firmly carved out a teenager market. these days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teen ager should have and be. and many of todays parents have come toward high marks for the popularity of their children. all this adds up to a great barrier for the teen ager who wants to find his or her own path.but the barrier is worth climbing over. the path is worth following. you may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. you may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. you may have some thoughts that you dont care to share at once with your classmates. well, go to it. find yourself. be yourself. popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. that is the only kind of popularity that really counts.56through this passage the writer wants to advise .ateenager how to be popular with people aroundbteenagers how to decide things for themselvescparents how to control and guide their childrendpeople how to understand and respect each other57which of the following is not true according to the passage?aevery kind of popularity doesnt count.bwhat many parents are doing is in fact preventing their children from getting high marks.cit is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates.dmany teenagers claim that they want to do what they like to do.58the author thinks of advertisements as _.adebatablebinstructivecunavoidabledauthoritative59during the teenage years, one should learn to _.adiffer from

【2012遼寧省模擬】bto whom it may concern,this letter describes the worst travel experience i have ever had. the problems we has were the result of poor management and thoughtless employees. your airline should be ashamed of treating its customers so poorly.on january 5, we arrived in denver from houston and checked in for our next flight. it wasnt long before the agent announced that our flight would be delayed because of a mechanical problem. the equipment was in aspen, and they expected it to be repaired soon. soon shortly turned to much later, and during the delay, weather temporarily closed the aspen airport. the weather cleared in aspen and the plane took off very late for denver. while it was in the air, the agent announced that the plane would be used for the next flight and that our flight was being cancelled. this cancellation struck me as being unfair. there was a mad scramble(爭(zhēng)先恐后) as the 50 or so passengers scheduled for our flight fought for seats on later flights. when the dust settled, we were wait-listed on the 9:00 flig
