昆明市2014高考英语（阅读理解）一轮训练题（3）及答案 William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13,1865. His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family—both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry. Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn’t lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama. Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats’s poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very tradisional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition. He had not enjoyed a major public lift since winning the Nobel Price in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the age of 50 and 75. After Yeats’s death in 1939, W. H. Auden wrote, among others, the falling liners: Earth, receive an honoured guest: William Yeats is laid to rest. Let the Irish vessel (船) lie Emptied of its poetry. 68. Which of the following can describe Yeats’s family? A. It filled Yeats’s childhood with laughter. B. It was shocked by Yeats’s choice. C. It was a typically wealthy family. D. It had an artistic atmosphere. 69. According to thse passage, what do we know about Yeats’s life? A. Yeats founded the first Irish theater. B.

Heading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind: ??? Dress to impress: Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says, "Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and our classmates will become your professional network. You don’t need to dress like you’re going to the office, but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence, and look put-together. " ??? Logo mania （品牌狂热症）: Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at. It’s tempting to load up on logos, especially well-known logos that signify high-end brands. But consider this: college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style. Instead of wearing logos head to toe, "walking advertisement" -style, why not express who you really are? ??? Wear real pants: The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses. Smith points out that leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless you’re exercising. Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear. As a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level. So, get rid of leggings and wear real pants! ??? Keep the cute factor to a minimum: Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters, or Hello Kitty on them. Sure, kittens might be cute, but they’re not doing you any favors in the style department. Dressing too cutesy can take years off your look, and not necessarily in a good way!

*************************************************************结束 5、（2010·吉林省吉林一中冲刺） Forty years ago, Rachel Carson died and the Pittsburgh area lost perhaps its m
ost influential citizen. A native of a Pennsylvania College for Women graduate, Carson published “Silent Spring” in 1962, a work that launched the modern environmental movement and led to the creati
on of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as well as the passage of our major en
vironmental laws. However, there has been a puzzling and troubling trend in recent years: an attack on her theory by conservatives and the agrochemical (农用化学品) industry. For example, Rush Limbaugh gave the following quiz: “Who caused more deaths: Adolf Hitler or RachelCarson?” Limbaugh's answer was Carson, due to the approximately 100 million deaths from malaria (疟疾) since 1972, the year in which the pesticide (杀虫剂）DDT was banned for use in the United States in part as a result of “Silent Spring.” Therefore, on this 40th anniversary of Carson's death, we need to take a scientific look at the myths that remain about pesticides. Myth 1: Pesticide usage has declined since 1962. In fact, pesticide usage has more than doubled since
1962, and the global pesticide industry currently uses over 2.5 million tons of pesticides each year. Even DDT is still used abroad. Myth 2: Pesticides are safe. In fact, as Carson warned us, these poisonous chemicals are unsafe since they are designed to kill biological organisms, but are often not specific in their targets. Pesticide exposure can cause skin irritation, headache, ca
ncer and even death. According to the WHO, over 25 million people a year in developing countries suffer severe acute pesticide poisonings with
over 20,000 deaths. Of the 80,000 pesticides and other chemicals in use today, 10 percent are recognized as carcinogens (致癌物质). According to recent studies, brain cancer rates are five times higher in homes with “no-pest” strips and six times higher in homes where pets wear flea collars (杀蚤颈圈). Our homes have pesticide concentrations 10 to 100 times higher than outdoors. So, if Carson were with us today, still battling the agrochemical industry that spent millions of dollars, what would she be advocating? I feel confident that she would be a strong supporter of a new principle of chemical assessmen
t. Simply put, this
principle requires producers of pesticides to prove that they are safe and necessary before they are put on the market. Our current system puts the burden of proof on government and scientists to prove that a pesticide is dangerous and poses an “unacceptable risk” before it can be pulled f
rom the market. 57. Limbaugh attacked Carson because he t
hought that _____. A. “Silent Spring” had caused in part the 100 million deaths from malaria B. she was supporting the production of poisonous pesticides C. “Silent Spring” was originated from Hitler’s writings D. she had not cared for the 100 million deaths from malaria 58. Which of the following is the content of M
yth 1? A. The production of pesticides has doubled during the past 40 years. B. 2.5 million tons of pesticides have been produced since 1962. C. The usage of pesticides has been dropping since 1962. D. Pesticides have become less poisonous since 1962. 59. The author mentions “flea collars” in the sixth paragraph to indicate _____. A. pesticides contribute to the development of cancer B. the close connection between them and dog cancer rates C. the medical effect of flea collars on dogs D. flea collars contribute to high pesticide concentrations indoors 60. What is the suggested new practice of chemical assessment? A. Government should prove a pesticide is unsafe. B. Scientists should be responsible for writing assessment reports. C. Producers of pesticides should provide proof of their safety. D. A special committee should be set up for chemical assessment. 5、参考答案----------ACDC *******************************************************************结束
