Ⅱ.阅读理解
A[2012·江西卷]
For those who make journeys across the world, the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages. Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village. Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other, allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.
Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far. A price has been paid, they say, for the conquest (征服) of time and distance. Travel_is_something_to_be_enjoyed,_not_endured (忍受). The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever­changing sights and sounds of a journey. A journey by train also has a special charm about it. Lakes and forests and wild, open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. On board a plane, however, there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow windows of the airplane. The soft lighting, in­flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know, and the hours progress slowly.
Then there is the time spent being ‘processed’ at a modern airport. People are conveyed like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed, tickets produced, examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area. Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hours devoted to being ‘processed’ at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent.No wonder, then, that the modern high­speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.
Man, however, is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane. The working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation. The holiday­maker, too, with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun. Speed controls people's lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thing—or so we are told. Perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.
16. What does the writer try to express in Paragraph 1?
A. Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages.
B. The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short.
C. The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams.
D. Man has been fond of traveling rather than staying in one place.
17. How does the writer support the underlined statement in Paragraph 2?
A. By giving instructions.
B. By analyzing cause and effect.
C. By following the order of time.
D. By giving examples.
18. According to Paragraph 3, passengers are turning back to modern high­speed trains because________．
A. they pay less for the tickets
B. they feel safer during the travel
C. they can enjoy higher speed of travel
D. they don't have to waste time being ‘processed’
19. What does the last sentence of the passage mean?
A. They could enjoy free and relaxing travel.
B. They needed the clock to tell the time.
C. They preferred traveling on horseback.
D. They could travel with their master.
20. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Air travel benefits people and industries.
B. Train travel has some advantages over air travel.
C. Great changes have taken place in modern travel.
D. The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.
B
You're lost in the world of dreams and sleep. You roll over, smiling as you come across a swimming pool filled with chocolate. And then, your wonderful dream becomes a nightmare(噩梦) when someone is screaming, “Get up！” It's just what every teenager goes through each morning!
Now, there seems to be one school that finally understands that requiring teens to show up at 9 am is not just cruel but also harmful to both the kids and the school.
Monkseaton High School in North Tyneside, Britain, recently decided to experiment to see if there is any difference in student behavior if they just pushed back the start of their day by one hour, from 9 am to 10 am. And the results are surprising.
Since carrying out the later start, Monkseaton has seen a 28% drop in truancy,_even hardly any lateness, and best of all, higher test scores. One of the reasons is that the teenagers are much happier to have the extra hour of sleep, but there is also a scientific reason behind why they need the extra sleep.
The school's decision to push back the time was based on the research done by Oxford Professor Russell Foster, who pointed out that teenagers and adults have different sleep cycles，explaining why teenagers go to bed late and wake up late.
While adults are wide awake and ready at 8 am, teenagers are not fully awake until 10 am, sometimes even noon. Teachers may argue that their students perform better in the morning, but in fact, it is because they are in the zone while their students are still sleepy, making the students easier to control.Memory tests prove that the more difficult classes should be in the afternoon when teenagers are most wide awake.
The Monkseaton school officials are encouraged by the results and plan on voting to make it a permanent change.
21．What's the meaning of the underlined word “truancy”？
A．Grades. B．Classes.
C．Absence. D．Practice.
22．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Teenagers and adults have the same sleep cycle.
B．Teenagers are fully awake at 10 am as a whole.
C．Teenagers are much happier to sleep than study.
D．Teenagers need the extra sleep also for a scientific reason.
23．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Monkseaton High School is satisfied with the result of the experiment.
B．It is very cruel for the teenagers to show up in class at 9 am every day.
C．Monkseaton High School plans to change the school time forever.
D．In fact, teenagers perform better in the morning than in the afternoon.
24．What's the best title for this passage?
A．Get up early, teenagers!
B．Finally, a school understands teenagers
C．Why do teenagers stay up late?
D．Differences between teens and adults

4．B　本题考查强调句型。分析句子结构可知，题干为强调句型，被强调部分为what引导的主语从句。句意：并非我们偶尔为之的事情塑造我们的生活，而是我们一贯之行造就我们的生活。

7．C　考查非谓语动词和“be of＋抽象名词”结构。第一空为分词短语作原因状语，因与其逻辑主语Li Hua是被动关系，故用过去分词；根据“be of great importance＝be very important”，可判断第二空可用of great importance或very important。
8．C　考查动词(短语)辨析。“在……方面相似”的短语是resemble…in…或be similar to…in…故选C项。

Ⅱ.A
本文为议论文。主要就当今一些人追求有速度的旅游提出了自己的看法，作者建议人们不妨不坐飞机，改乘其他交通工具，好好欣赏人生的旅途。
16. B　主旨大意题。由第一段的一些信息，例如“…has turned the countries into a series of villages. Distances between them appear no greater to…Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other…”可知第一段主要是想表达现代旅游的速度使旅途变得相当快。
17. D　推理判断题。画线词后面介绍了乘船旅游的悠然自在以及坐火车旅游的迷人风景；同时，还列举了坐飞机的缺点，由此可知作者主要通过举例的方法来支持画线句的观点。
18. D　细节理解题。本段中 “Then there is the time spent being ‘processed’ at a modern airport…” 的内容可知转向坐高铁是因为他们没有必要浪费时间走到机场的“路程”。
19. A　细节理解题。本文的最后一句提到，他们能按照自己的意愿来旅游，时钟不是他们的主人，言外之意就是，他们能不受时间的限制，享受自由的旅游，故选A项。
20. D　主旨大意题。本文第一段提到了飞机旅途之快，第二、三段提到了飞机旅途不能欣赏其旅程以及要走到机场这一路程，第四段提到了一些人还得依靠飞机旅游，但也提到这种方式不能让人充分享受旅途的自由，综观全文可知本文主要讲述了飞机旅游的得与失。

本文介绍英国一所学校大胆推迟早上学生的到校时间，结果学生迟到、旷课现象减少，成绩明显提高。学校准备投票决定是否永久将这项举措保持下去。
21．C　词义猜测题。根据文章可知，自实行了这项措施后，在truancy方面下降了28%，甚至几乎没有人迟到。这里讲的是实行这项措施的好处，结合四个选项，可知选C。
22．D　推理判断题。依据第五段可知学校推迟学生到校时间是有科学依据的，学生在早上需要更多的睡眠时间。
23．D　正误判断题。依据第六段最后一句推断学生下午状态更佳。学生在上午更易管理(貌似专心听讲)，是因为他们在此时还没有完全清醒。
24．B　主旨概括题。本文讲了一所学校根据青少年的睡眠研究改变学生上学时间的事。结合文章内容可知B项作为标题能够突出本文主旨，又比较新颖。
