9．________is often the case，we have worked out the production plan.A．Which

B．When C．What

D．As 解析：選D。as 在句中指代we have worked out the production plan 這件事。which引導非限制性定語從句只能放在主句的后面。由于從句中缺少主語，所以不選when。what只能引導名詞性從句。

第三篇：英語讀書筆記老人與海book review

The Review Of The old man and the sea Ernest Hemingway The old man and the sea 112pp.Foreign Language Press.RMB 10.00 978 7 1190 48895 We all know the famous saying “A MAN CAN BE DESTROYED, BUT NOT DEFEATED”

Through an old fisherman?s struggle against nature, Ernest Hemingway portrays the most magnificent part of the culture of manhood, courage and bravery。

If you want to understand what the novel trying to convey to us,you?d better know some information of Ernest Hemingway and the archetype of Santiago-Gregorio Fuentes and the great friendship between them。

Ernest Hemingway, as one of the greatest literary lights of the 20th century, did more to change the style of English literature than any other writer in the same period.As an unique writer, he wrote in short and declarative sentences, and despite the fact that his works were usually marked by incredible economy of words and descriptions, he was always able to seize the very core of the soul of his characters and present them to the readers in a simple but extremely powerful way.Ernest Hemingway covered both the Spanish civil war and World War I.He subsequently portrays his own experiences in these two wars in his brilliant novels, For Whom the Bell Tolls and A Farewell to Arms.Although these two books immediately established his status in the literary world, it is his timeless novella, the Old Man and the Sea, that eventually help him win the Pulitzer Prize in 1953 and the Nobel Prize for literature in1954.Gregorio Fuentes was born in Canary Islands in1897，his father was a cook on a cargo boat and died of an accident when Fuentes wan still a young boy.Fuentes opted to become a seaman, in honor of his father before him.Although his adoptive father, Don Raul Mediavilla, initially disapproved, he soon taught the young but intensely focused Fuentes the ways of the sea.With his natural skills at seamanship, Fuentes joined a cargo sailing company in Cuba.Fuentes' first encounter with the young literary giant began as a misfortune that became the adventure of his life.The 25-year-old Fuentes, captain of a fishing vessel that regularly traversed the Florida straits between Cuba and the U.S.mainland, was returning from Cuba when he encountered a stranded boat, out of fuel, several nautical miles off the Florida coast.When the occupant of the boat(Hemingway)cried out for help in Spanish, Fuentes came to the rescue.Fuentes towed Hemingway and his boat to the U.S.Dry Tortugas, due west of the Keys.From there Hemingway phoned officials in Key West, his original destination, for further help.As Hemingway departed, the last thing he said to his young Cuban rescuer was “Goodbye, my friend.I'll see you again in Cuba.” Several years after their first encounter, Hemingway's prophecy proved true.Fuentes was then working on a ship owned by the University of Massachusetts.A friend introduced him to Ernest Hemingway and when they met at a cafe they both experienced a jolt of instant recognition.Hemingway offered Fuentes the job as captain of his fishing yacht since he was such a talented helmsman.Without a second thought, Fuentes said yes, and their enduring friendship was forged.Hemingway and his buddy Fuentes continued to fish seriously between Cuba, Key West and the Bahamas, while he was collecting material for what would become his most famous piece of angling literature.The Old Man and the Sea is a triumphal document of mans' struggle over adversity.The classic novel, written in 1952, tells the tale of an old Cuban fisherman's immense battle to catch the perfect fish.The book's climax painfully details an arduous three-day contest with a marlin that he has hooked but eventually loses to sharks.The physical suffering he endures is portrayed as a spiritual triumph of mans' communion with the natural world.“I was with Hemingway when he got the idea for The Old Man and the Sea,” Fuentes recalled in an interview.“Upon hearing of the death of Ernest Hemingway, I vowed never to fish again, and I haven't,” Fuentes said.“Although many people have asked me over the years, I swore that when Mr.Hemingway died I would never fish upon another yacht.I took Pilar to my house so I wouldn't have any responsibility with anybody again.I knew that I could never have a closer friend than Mr.Hemingway, so I decided never to sail again.” Fuentes was considered a national treasure in Cuba(followers have filled countless guest books in his home).But he never dwelt on the controversies that swirled around his immortal friend,Rather, he modestly commented when asked how he feels about The Old Man and the Sea, which had brought such fame to him:“I didn't need to read his books,” he said.“I knew the man himself.I was there and lived it all with him.” Now we come back to the book，Taking place entirely in the sea, the Old Man and the Sea follows the unbelievable adventure of an old fisherman called Santiago, who is tormented by weeks of hunger and constant bad luck.Santiago is once one of the greatest fishermen in his village, but because of his failing abilities and bad luck, he has gone 84 days without catching a fish.In order to regain his confidence and honor, the old man finally decides to sail far out in the sea in search of a catch that can help him rebuild the courage he used to have.In this journey, his luck returns, and he meets one of the greatest marlin he has ever seen in his life.After three days of struggles against the fish and himself, the old man eventually defeats the great marlin.However, on his way back to the village, he is again attacked by a herd of sharks, and he is forced to sacrifice his prize.Weary and wounded, the old man returned to the village with the giant skeletons of the fish and immediately falls into a sleep.In his dream, he once again sees the lions at play at the beach of Africa, which is a scene he saw when he was still young and strong.Like most of Hemingway?s literary works, the Old Man and the Sea is told in a language of great simplicity and power.With an enchanting and captivating tone, the author vividly depicted the story about a typical fisherman?s struggle against fate, nature and his own limitations.Probably one of the most important features of the story is that it very well combines the changes of natural environment with the development of the plot, and the author very well utilizes literary techniques, such as contrast and juxtaposition, to link different elements together.Besides this, the story itself is also narrated in an extremely reasonable and believable way;the author arranges the story considerably logically way, and he adds multiple conflicts, such as the battle with the shark and the marlin, to help maintain the reader?s emotional level and to further develop the story.In addition to the development of the plot and the story structure, the author also attached great importance to the development of the protagonist?s characters;he delicately portrayed the main character?s actions, and he was much emphasized on depicting his mental activities.And these eventually helps he successfully creates Santiago?s heroic figures and elevates his character to a legendary status.I?ve read this novel for more than 5 times，And because of its simple language and sincere emotions, I would always been touched so deeply when I read it。I show respect to the old man?s braveness，it also made me think about what a real man should be when he faces so mush difficulties.Undoubtedly, from both the standpoints of its literary value and its exploration of the value of humanity，The Old Man and Sea is a book that worth us to read.

2014高考英語閱讀理解：2013暑假練習題（14）及答案解析

A

Today, there’s hardly an aspect of our life that isn’t being upended(顛覆)by the tons of information available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding the Internet, not to mention its ability to keep us in constant touch with each other via electronic mail.“If the automobile and aerospace technology had exploded at the same pace as computer and information technology,” says Microsoft, “a new car would cost about $ 2 and go 600 miles on a small quantity of gas.And you could buy a Boeing 747 for the cost of a pizza.”

Probably the biggest payoff, however, is the billions of dollars the Internet is saving companies in producing goods and serving for the needs of their customers.Nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when power-driven machines began producing more in a day than men could turn out in nearly a year.“We view the growth of the Internet and e-commerce as a global trend,” says Merrill Lynch, “along the lines of printing press, the telephone, the computer, and electricity.”

You would be hard pressed to name something that isn’t available on the Internet.Consider: books, health care, movie tickets, construction materials, baby clothes, stocks, cattle feed, music, electronics, antiques, tools, real estate, toys, autographs of famous people, wine and airline tickets.And even after you’ve moved on to your final resting place, there’s no reason those you love can’t keep in touch.A company called FinalThoughts.com offers a place for you to store “afterlife e-mails” you can send to Heaven with the help of a “guardian angel”.Kids today are so computer literate that it in fact ensures the United States will remain the unchallenged leader in cyberspace for the foreseeable(能預測的)future.Nearly all children in families with incomes of more than $75,000 a year have home computers, according to a study by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.Youngsters from ages 2 to 17 at all income levels have computers, with 52% of those connected to the Internet.Most kids use computers to play games(some for 30 hours or more a week), and many teenage girls think nothing of rushing home from school to have e-mail chats with friends they have just left.What’s clear is that, whether we like it or not, the Internet is an ever growing part of our lives and there is no turning back.“The Internet is just 20% invented,” says cyber pioneer Jake Winebaum.“The last 80% is happening now.”

51.What can we learn from the Microsoft’s remark?

A.Today’s cars and airplanes are extremely overpriced.B.Information technology is developing at an amazing speed.C.Information technology has reached the point where improvement is difficult.D.There’s more competition in information technology industry than in car industry.52.The author gives the example of FinalThoughts.com to make the point that____.A.there are some genius ideas on the Internet

B.almost anything is available on the Internet

C.people can find good bargains on the Internet

D.some websites provide novel services to increase hits

53.What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?

A.There is a link between income and computer ownership.B.Many American children don’t put computers to good use.C.Studies show that boys are more computer literate than girls.D.The U.S.will stay ahead in the information technology in years.54.Which sentence has the phrase that possesses the same meaning as the one underlined in the fifth paragraph?A.Some can tell you that he has changed their lives, while others think nothing of him.B.Think nothing of it.It was my pleasure.C.He thinks nothing of staying up all night in the Café bar.D.He thinks nothing of the pain in his back for the moment.55.What is the message the author intends to convey?

A.The Internet is going to get firm hold of our lives some day.B.The Internet is going to influence our lives even more greatly.C.We should have a positive attitude towards the changes the Internet brings.D.Children should be well prepared for the challenges in the information age.參考答案

While it is impossible to live completely free of stress，it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided．The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress．

◆Try physical activity

When you are nervous，angry or upset，try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity．Running，walking，playing tennis，and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try．

◆Take care of yourself

◆Make a list of things to do

Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do，and not enough time”．Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result，you may not achieve anything．Instead，make a list of everything you have to do，then do one thing at a time，checking off each task as it is completed．Set out to do the most important task first．

第二部分：閱讀理解（第一節20小題，第二節5小題；每小題2分，滿分50分）

第一節：閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項,并在答題紙上將該選項標號涂黑。

A

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005． While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work． On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does． After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone．

The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport． Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour a week to support his young family． And the bike was also used to get groceries, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live．

I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story． Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help． One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up． Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job． It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before．

People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so． This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity as a whole． And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others． No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares． And the results can be everlasting．

41．Why was the bike so important to the couple?

A． They used it for work and daily life．

B． It was their only possession．

C． It was a nice Kona 18 speed．

D． The man's job was bike racing．

42．What does the underlined phrase mean?

A． go very far to see someone

B． walk out on foot to greet someone

43．We can infer from the text that ________．

A． the couple worked 60 hours a week

B． people were busy before Christmas

C． the stranger brought over the bike

D． life was hard for the young family

44．How did people get to know the couple's problem?

B． From a newspaper．

C． From TV news．

B

Green-space facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment．Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea．At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-evident statement than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof．The recognition of the importance of green-spaces in the urban environment is a first step on the right way;this does not mean, however, that enough details are known about the functions of green spaces in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants are using these spaces．

The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town-and-country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportionate（不成比例的）attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home．We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home．So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street door of the house．The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory（強制性的）activities can also have a recreative aspect．

The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets, because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot of enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street door of your house is closed after you．

46．According to the author, the importance of green spaces in the urban environment _______．

A．is still unknown

B．is being closely studied

C．is usually neglected

D．has been fully recognized

47．The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation has led to _______．

A．the disproportion of recreation facilities in the neighborhood

B．all of the recreation facilities far from home

C．relatively little attention for recreative possibilities

D．the improvement of recreative possibilities in the neighborhood

48．The author suggests that the recreative possibilities of green spaces should be provided

_______．

A．in special areas

B．in the suburbs

C．in the neighbourhood of the house

D．in gardens and parks

49．The author says “more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect” to _______．

A．suggest that obligatory activities don’t need to serious

B．show that recreation activities are very important

C．show how recreation activities have spread wildly

D．suggest how to offer recreation activities around home

50．Why would someone only feel himself at home according to the last paragraph?

People believe that climbing can do good to health.Where can you learn the skill of climbing then?

To climb，you need special shoes and a harness(保護帶)around your chest to hold you.There are ropes(繩索)tied to your harness.The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall.A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up.There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to.Sometimes it’s easy to see the next piece of metal.Sometimes, it’s not.The most difficult part is to control your fear.It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear.But when you move away from the wall, the harness and the ropes hold you，and you begin to feel safe.You move slowly until you reach the top.Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone.You use your whole body,，both your mind and your body can become stronger.5.What can we infer from the passage?

A（摘自溫州中學月考）

Going to school means learning new skills and facts in such subjects as reading, math, science, history, art or music.Teachers teach and students learn, and many scientists are interested in finding ways to improve both the teaching and learning processes.Some researchers, such as Sian Beilock and Susan Levine, are trying to learn about learning.Beilock and Levine are psychologists at the University of Chicago.Psychologists study the ways people think and behave, and these researchers want to know how a person’s thoughts and behavior are related.In a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary school, Beilock and Levine found a surprising relationship between what female teachers think and what female students learn: If a female teacher is uncomfortable with her own math skills, then her female students are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math.“If these girls keep getting math-anxious female teachers in later grades, ,” Levine told Science News.The study suggests that if these girls grow up believing that boys are better at math than girls are, then these girls may not do as well as they would have if they were more confident.Just as students find certain subjects to be difficult, teachers can find certain subjects to be difficult to learn—and teach.The subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyone.Researchers use the word “anxiety” to describe such feelings: anxiety is uneasiness or worry.(Many people, for example, have anxiety about going to the dentist because they’re worried about pain.)

The new study found that when a teacher has anxiety about math, that feeling can influence how her female students feel about math.The study involved 65 girls, 52 boys and 17 first-and second-grade teachers in elementary schools in the Midwest.The students took math achievement tests at the beginning and end of the school year, and the researchers compared the scores.The researchers also gave the students tests to tell whether the students believed that a math superstar had to be a boy.Then the researchers turned to the teachers: To find out which teachers were anxious about math, the researchers asked the teachers how they felt at times when they came across math, such as when reading a sales receipt.A teacher who got nervous looking at the numbers on a sales receipt, for example, was probably anxious about math.Boys, on average, were unaffected by a teacher’s anxiety.On average, girls with math-anxious teachers scored lower on the end-of-the-year math tests than other girls in the study did.Plus, on the test showing whether someone thought a math superstar had to be a boy, 20 girls showed feeling that boys would be better at math—and all of these girls had been taught by female teachers who had math anxiety.According to surveys done before this one, college students who want to become elementary school teachers have the highest levels of anxiety about math.Plus, nine of every 10 elementary teachers are women, Levine said.This study was small, and it’s often difficult to see large patterns in small studies, David Geary told Science News.Geary, a psychologist at the University of Missouri in Columbia, studies how children learn math.“This is an interesting study, but the results need to be interpreted as preliminary and in need of replication with a larger sample,” Geary said.That means that the results are just showing something that might be happening, but more studies should be done.If more studies find the same trend as this one, then it’s possible that a teacher’s anxiety over math really is affecting her female students.50.Sian Beilock and Susan Levine carried out the new research in order to ______.A.know the effects of teaching on learningB.study students’ ways of learning math

C.prove women teachers are unfit to teach mathD.find better teaching methods for teachers

51.The underlined part in paragraph 4 most probably means that girls may ______.A.end up learning math with anxiety from their teachers

B.study the ways their female teachers behave

C.have an influence on their math-anxious female teachers

D.gain unexpected achievement in such subjects as math

52.In the study, what were the teachers required to do?

A.Prepare two math achievement tests for the students.B.Tell their feelings about math problems.C.Answer whether a math superstar had to be a boy.D.Compare the students’ scores after the math tests.53.What is the finding of the new study?

A.No male students were affected by their teachers’ anxiety.B.Almost all the girls got lower scores in the tests than the boys.C.About 30% of the girls thought boys are better at math than girls.D.Girls with math-anxious teachers all failed in the math tests.54.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A.117 students and teachers took part in the new study.B.The researchers felt surprised at the findings of their study.C.Beilock and Levine are interested in teaching math.D.Men teachers are better at teaching math than women teachers.英語參考答案及評分標準。
