“One City One Book” is a generic name(通稱)for a community reading program that attempts to get everyone in a city to read and discuss the same book.Popular book picks have been Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird，Ernest Gaines’s A Lesson Before Dying，and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451.“One City One Book” programs take the idea of a localized book discussion club and expand it to cover a whole city.The first such program was “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” in 1998，started by Nancy Pearl at Seattle Public Library’s Washington Center for the Book.The book chosen for the program was The Sweet Hereafter by Russell Banks，written in 1991.Other cities copied the idea，and the Library of Congress listed 404 programs occurring in 2007.Each city’s program has its own goals；these typically include building a sense of community and promoting literacy.Nancy Pearl warns against expecting too much from a program：“Keep in mind that this is a library program，it’s not an exercise in civics，and that it’s not intended to have literature cure the racial divide.This is about a work of literature.”

Programs typically involve more than having everyone read the same book.Some other activities that have been included are：book discussion sessions，scholarly lectures on the book or related topics，a visit by the author，exhibits，related arts programming(especially showing a movie of the book if there is one)，and integration into school curricula.In Boston the “One City One Story” program used shorter stories and distributed tens of thousands of free copies of the story over the course of a month.American Library Association puts out a detailed step-by-step guide on how to organize a local program，including the critical step of picking the one book.The Center for the Book at the Library of Congress tracks all known programs and the books they have used.【語篇解讀】 本文是說明文，介紹了美國開展的“一個城市，一本書”的讀書活動。4．“One City One Book” programs________.A．ask everyone in a city to donate one book

閱讀理解【2014·湛江市普通高考測試一】

When you make a mistake，big or small，cherish it as it’s the most precious thing in the world.Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes，beat ourselves up about it，feel like failures，and get mad at ourselves.And that’s only natural：Most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad，and we should try to avoid mistakes.We’ve been scolded when we make mistakes—at home，school and work.Maybe not always，but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.Yet without mistakes，we could not learn or grow.If you think about it that way，mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world：They make learning possible；they make growth and improvement possible.By trial and error—trying things，making mistakes，and learning from those mistakes—we have figured out how to make electric lights，to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel，and to fly.Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler，make speech possible，and make works of genius possible.Think about how we learn：We don’t just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it.You don’t just read about painting，or writing，or computer programming，or baking，or playing the piano，and know how to do them fight away.Instead，you get information about something，from reading or from another person or from observing usually...then you construct a model in your mind...then you test it out by trying it in the real world...then you make mistakes...then you revise the model based on the results of your real world experimentation...and repeat，making mistakes，learning from those mistakes，until you’ve pretty much learned how to do something.That’s how we learn as babies and toddlers，and how we learn as adults.Mistakes are how we learn to do something new—because if you succeed in something，it’s probably something you already knew how to do.You haven’t really grown much from that success—at most it’s the last step on your journey，not the whole journey.Most of the journey is made up of mistakes，if it’s a good journey.So if you value learning，if you value growing and improving，then you should value mistakes.They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.1．Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes? A．Because mistakes make us suffer a lot.B．Because it’s a natural part in our life.C．Because we’ve been taught so from a young age.D．Because mistakes have ruined many people’s careers.2．According to the passage，what is the right attitude to mistakes? A．We should try to avoid making mistakes.B．We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.C．We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.D．We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.3．The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means________.A．a small child learning to walk

B．a kindergarten child learning to draw C．a primary pupil learning to read D．a school teenager learning to write

found and described.Their loss is immeasurable.Take rubber for example.For many uses, only natural rubber from trees will do.Synthetics are not good enough.Today over half the world's commercial rubber is produced in Malaysia and Indonesia, while the Amazon's rubber industry produces much of the world's four million tons.And rubber is an important material in making gloves, balloons, footwear and many sporting goods.Thousands of other tropical plants are valuable for their industrial use.Many scientists strongly believe that deforestation contributes to the greenhouse effect--or heating of the earth from increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.As we destroy forests, we lose their ability to change carbon dioxide into oxygen.Carbon dioxide levels could double within the next half-century, warming the earth by as much as 4.5 degrees.The result? A partial melt-down of polar ice caps, raising sea levels as much as 24 feet;even 15 feet could threaten anyone living within 35 miles of the coast.Unbelievable? Maybe.But scientists warn that by the time we realise the severe effects of tropical deforestation, it will be 20 years too late.Can tropical deforestation affect our everyday lives? Now, you should have got the answer.11.The underlined word “synthetics” probably means

.A.natural rubber

B.tropical materials

C.man-made material

D.commercial rubber 12.In the last paragraph the author tries to

.A.tell people how to avoid the tropical deforestation

B.persuade people to buy something synthetic

C.show us how important it is to protect the tropical forests

D.let people realise the effect of tropical deforestation 13.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A.The forests are losing their function in turning carbon dioxide into oxygen.B.Many of our daily uses are related to the tropical forests.C.Tropical plants can be used to make industrial products.D.High carbon dioxide levels will make the earth warmer.14.The author's attitude towards the tropical deforestation is

.A.puzzling

B.cold

C.supporting

D.opposed 15.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A.Tropical Forests

B.Saving the Tropical Forests

C.Tropical Forests and Our Life

D.The Greenhouse Effects 【參考答案】11—

Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight.A recent research has found a new recipe of success.According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young(less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly.Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light.There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while argression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes.One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite.For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the samesignals submission.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour.They are learning how to talk each other’s language.It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ‘dog’, and dogs can learn how to talk ‘Cat’.What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence.They can learn how to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected.Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom(梳理)each other.The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets ─ to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers.If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.31.The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.A.earlyB.sweetlyC.quicklyD.smoothly

32.Some cats and dogs may fight when ______.A.they are cold to each other

B.they look away from each other

C.they misunderstood each other’s signals

D.they are introduced at an early age

33.What is found surprising about cats and dogs?

A.They eat and sleep each other.B.They observe each other’s behaviors.C.They learn to speak each other’s language.D.They know something from each other’s voices.34.It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ______.A.have common interests

B.are less different than was thought

C.have a common body language

D.are less intelligent than was expected

35.What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?

A.We should learn to live in h（http://）armony.B.We should know more about animals.C.We should live in peace with animals.D.We should learn more body languages.三：讀寫任務

第四篇：2014高考英語浙江自選

科目：英語

閱讀理解(分兩節，共5小題；每小題2分，共10分)

閱讀下面短文，并根據短文后的要求答題。

Do kids need rules, or is it more important for them to find out on their own what works and what doesn't work? It all depends on what the rules are supposed to accomplish.My feeling is that the most effective rules are the ones that will help students now and in the future.The school and parents should avoid rules that have no longterm value and make rules that help students focus on the future.修飾)codes are particularly annoying.What lasting benefit do they have? Boys have been sent home for wearing their hair too long.What is gained by regulating hairstyles? It seems to me that learning about appropriate grooming is something that students can safely learn on their own.It won't really ruin a person's life to look back at a yearbook picture in 10 years and laugh at the hairstyles.On the other hand, most students respect rules and requirements that help them stay focused on the future.It seems that every day the world gets more confused about what's important, so it's definitely useful to have a few guidelines for staying on track.Students may complain about having to take required courses(especially the ones they don't like), reading books during summer vacation, and doing community service, but at least they can see that there are clear reasons for My own lesson in rules happened when I was in eighth grade.Because I got all C's on my firstquarter report card, Dad said that I was limited to one hour of TV on school nights.Of course, I was upset and said my freedom was being taken away.Dad stood firm, and my grades improved dramatically.I probably wouldn't have come up with the TV rule on my own, and as a result, my life may have been much different.I realize that people who come up with rules mean well.They, too, are trying to remove good rules.第一節 根據短文內容，從A、B、C、D和E中選出最適合填入短文空白處的選項。選項中有一項是多余選項。

A.The future depends on what a person has learned and how he or she relates to others.B.Some of the most frustrating rules are the ones that don't seem necessary in the long term.C.Students can grow only when they are allowed to make theirown decisions about what is good for them.D.However，some of their rules are more about individual preference than about learning lessons for the future.E.More importantly, I finally got out of the habit of wasting time when I should be doingsomething more useful.第二節 根據短文所給的信息，用一個完整的句子回答下面的問題。

5.According to the writer, what rules should the school make for students?

【要點綜述】本文通過作者的親身經歷，告訴我們人生需要合適和恰當的規則和制度，只有這樣才能真正造就人才，為未來發展奠定基礎。

1．B 根據下文“?unreasonable dress and grooming(修飾)codes are particularly

annoying?”可知，有些毫無理由的規章制度從長期來看是沒有多大用處的，而且令人沮喪，所以B項符合此處語境。

2.A 根據本段開頭的“?most students respect rules and requirements?on the future.”和本段中間部分“Students may complain about having to take required courses?”并結合下一段作者的經歷可知，一個人在少年時代學到的知識和他所接觸的人將會決定這個人未來的發展，所以A項符合上下文語境。

3．E 此句承上啟下，上文提到父親限制了“我”看電視的時間，由此“我”的成績大幅度提高，下句應該承接展開，故E項符合上下文語境。

4．D 根據上下文可知，此處語意與上句是轉折關系。人們通過規則來消除雜念，來鋪平通往成功的道路，然而有些規則是從個人的偏好角度出發，而不是從對未來知識的學習角度出發，好的想法不一定會產生好的規則。所以D項符合上下文語境。

5．The school should make rules that help them stay focused on the future/that help them now and in the future.根據最后一段可知，作者告訴我們學校應該提供一些利用學生長遠發展的規則。

填空(共10小題；每小題1分，共10分)

閱讀下面的短文，在標有序號的空白處填入一個適當的詞，或填入括號中所給單詞的正確形式。

When I was first old enough to visit the barber on my own, I would make twicemonthly trips to Charlie's shop in Fairfax Drive.Charlie's was a dusty little place.It wasn't that much fun going 舒適的)the way everything seemed to stay the same.(close)thing I could find to Charlie's was Mr Charles' Hair Masters Salon(發廊)．Curious and(expect)but he would make an exception just this once, I followed him to a chair and began to give familiar orders, “A little off the top and sides, leave enough to comb?”But Mr Charles paid 水盆).For the next fortyfive minutes, silently and efficiently, Mr Charles mastered my hair.Only when he was finally finished 手藝)in a pocket mirror.—he wasn't.I miss him because he was a barber, plain and simple.All I want is a haircut, please.【要點綜述】作者以自己的一次理發經歷告訴我們，有時候我們不一定需要非常高端的理發方式，平平淡淡可能更有味道，因為這才是理發的真諦。

1.but根據上下文可知，查利的理發店雖然有點臟，但是很舒適、很溫馨，故填but。

2．for 根據語境可知，此處表示目的，故用for。

3．closest 根據上下文可知，這里表示最近的地方是查爾斯先生的發廊，所以用最高級。

4．he 根據語境可知，需要代詞he來指代上文的a young man。

5.were expected 根據語法可知，此處應用被動語態。

6．no/little 這里表示查爾斯先生對“我”的話無動于衷，所以用pay no/little attention to。

7.did 此處是倒裝結構，缺少助動詞，故用did。

8.what what引導賓語從句，同時作saw的賓語。

9.same 根據語意可知，這個20美元的發型與“我”15年前在查理的理發店花1.5美元剪的發型一樣。

10．because/that 此處表示“我“很想念老查理，不是因為他是個出色的理發師，而是因為他的平淡和真實。

【解題導語】 本文是一篇夾敘夾議文，作者在丈夫突然去世正悲傷的時候，收到朋友的信。朋友也有著喪夫的遭遇，當時得到了作者媽媽的安慰，現在朋友又把作者媽媽安慰自己的話傳給了她。

1．A.received

C．sent

B．wrote D．showed 解析：選A。根據下文的letters，cards，flowers，calls，and visits可知是作者的丈夫突然去世后，她收到了這些表示哀悼的東西。receive“收到”，符合文意。2．A.disappointment

B．relief

C．grief D．regret 解析：選C。took a bad knock意為“受到經濟或感情上的嚴重打擊”。她丈夫去世，她應該是“悲痛”(grief)。3．A.ask C．explain

B．experience D．understand 解析：選D。從the whys and hows可知此處應該是understand，意思是作者想弄明白這些不幸的事情為什么，怎么會發生在自己家。4．A.answers C．explanation

B．skills D．information 解析：選A。結合上一句想弄明白“問題”，這里應該是問題的答案answers。作者得不到答案，只有悲傷。5．A.impressed C．appreciated

B．touched D．affected 解析：選B。由下文和deeply可知，是有一封短信打動了作者，所以用touch表示“打動”。impress使??有印象，影響；appreciate欣賞，贊賞；affect影響，這三項都不符合語境。6．A.grade C．sense

B．class D．week 解析：選A。從through high school可知是在上學時的朋友，用grade表示“年級”。這里指從六年級開始到高中一直是好朋友。7．A.marriage C．quarrel

B．graduation D．settlement 解析：選B。句中謂語動詞drifted表示“漂流，漂泊”，說明兩人在“畢業”(graduation)以后分開了，去了不同的地方。8．A.Instead C．But

B．Therefore D．However 解析：選C。通過語境可以判斷，該處缺少表轉折關系的連詞，A、B意思不符合語意，however常和逗號連用，故應選C項。9．A.kept C．got

B．lost D．engaged 解析：選B。由上文可知，這里應是“失去聯系”，所以用lost和touch組成短語。10．A.moving C．staying

B．returning D．leaving 解析：選D。此處是動詞的-ing形式作結果狀語，leaving在此處意為“使處于某種狀態”，符合上下文語境。

20．A.Unnecessary C．Curious

B．Perfect D．Abstract 解析：選B。作者贊賞、感嘆媽媽說給朋友，朋友又傳給自己的這句話?！癐 love you”是多么完美的語言。unnecessary不必要的；curious好奇的；abstract抽象的，都不符合語境。

D.第一節：單項填空（共10小題；每小題1分，滿分10分）

1-5 DCADD 6-10ACBBC 1．【答案】D 【解析】考查交際用語。treat在這兒是 “請客”的意思。It’s a deal.是“就這么說定了”的意思。C項是“沒門，不可能”的意思。2．【答案】C 【解析】考查動詞非謂語。前面有have no choice，but 后的動詞應該是to do形式。3．【答案】A 【解析】考查狀語從句。根據句意，連詞的意思應該是“只要”，故該選: as long as。even if;even though是表讓步，“盡管，即使”的意思。as if是“好像”的意思。4．【答案】D 【解析】考查時態?！爸两駷橹苟嗄隂]演奏過了”，所以用現在完成時。5．【答案】D 【解析】考查動詞短語。break up表“關系結束，分手”；break in表“打斷；闖入；開始工作”，break out表“（災難、戰爭等）爆發”；break down表“機器出故障、崩潰；分解，談判破裂”等。故選D。6．【答案】A 【解析】考查倒裝句和時態。Only+從句或副詞做狀語位于句首時，主謂要部分倒裝。主句的時態該用一般將來時，故選A。7．【答案】C 【解析】考查虛擬語氣中謂語動詞的構成。Otherwise 表達與前面的事實相反，事實發生在過去，所以謂語應該是...+have done的形式。故應選C。8．【答案】B 【解析】考查定語從句中的關系代詞，由逗號可判斷這是一個非限制性定語從句，而從句為主系表結構，缺少表語，所以選which；受which從句修飾的是deeply absorbed in work短語。當專注于寫作時，這乃她的常態，她會將自己獨自鎖在書房里。9．【答案】B

【解析】考查代詞。前面的air quality是所指代對象，為不可數名詞，故選擇that。10．【答案】C 【解析】考查名詞性從句連接詞。choose是接物動詞，后接賓語，同時后面從句中缺少主語，因此可選whatever和whichever，另根據后面的信息提示是從該中心提供的課程中選擇適合他們的，因此應該用whichever。
