2014高考英語閱讀理解二輪基礎訓練精品題（30）及答案閱讀理解-awhile small may be beautiful, tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems, particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.the tall persons club great britain (tpcgb), which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants. beds that are too small, showe heads that are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height, it says.but it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met. the average night of the population has been increasing ye the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs has remained unchanged.“the bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it, so even a king-size bed at 66(6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men, while the standard 63 bed caters for less than half of the male population.” said tpcgb president phil heinricy, “seven-foot beds would work fine.” sililarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. small tables, which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.some have already taken note, however. at queens moat housescaledoman hotl in edinburgh, 66beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors, particularly americans.( ) 1. what is the purpose of the tpcgb campaign?a. to provide better services. b. to rebuild hotels and restaurants. c. to draw public attention to the needs of the tall.d. to

will likely ask the question: “can i find a well-paid job or simply a job with a degree in this in the future?” this consideration also influences students when they come to choose between studying science or humanities (人文學科) at college. people generally believe that the humanities, which include literature , history, cultural studies and philosophy, do not prepare students for a specific vocation (職業(yè)). science subjects, however, are considered vocational courses that produce scientists, engineers and economists (經(jīng)濟學家). “ive decided to take finance as my college major. my parents and i think this subject will help me get a good job or start a business,” said huachen yueru, 17, a science student at wuxi no. 1 high school. even those who choose a liberal arts (文科) education often pick the humanities subject which they think will best help them later find a job. “im going to study spanish in college, which i believe will open doors to a high-paying job for me,” said liu chao, 18, a senior 2 student at dalian no 20 high school. he said few of his classmates show interest in subjects like philosophy and history, which are seen as “l(fā)ess promising” in job markets.the popularity of liberal arts subjects among college students has also been decreasing in the united states. american scholars (學者) and universities are concerned that in the ongoing economic crisis (經(jīng)濟危機) liberal arts subjects will be hit hardest. as money tightens (緊縮), they worry that the humanities may become “a great luxury (奢侈品) that many cannot afford”, according to the new york times.44. when you consider what to study in college, what does you and your parents usually think about ? a. whether you are interested in the subject.b. if you can lead a happy life.c. what you can make out of it after graduation.d .how much you can learn in the college. 45.why do students show little interest in the subjects, like philosophy or history ? a .because they are not interested in them. b. because they think these subjects are useless.c. because they see these subjects as less-promising in job market. d. because they like the science subjects. 46. what can we infer from the passage ?a. humanities are becoming less and less popular with the students.b. studying science subjects is sure to find a well-paid job.c. the humanities in college should be cancelled. d. the writer thinks those who choose the liberal arts education will choose their favorite subjects.47. what does the underlined word “it” refer to in the first paragraph ?a. the subject you study in college b. science c. humanities d. liberal arts 體裁：說明文 詞數(shù)：326 難度系數(shù)： 建議用時：8分鐘類別：細節(jié)理解+推理判斷題+詞義猜測題 本文標題 ：arts in

one of his or her friends, and that friend can do the same, continuing the chain. eventually, your message could reach just about anyone in the world, and it might take only five to seven e-mails for the message to get there. scientists recently tested that idea in a study involving 24,000 people. participants had to try to get a message forwarded to one of 18 randomly chosen people. each participant started by sending one e-mail to someone they knew. recipients could then forward the e-mail once to someone they knew, and so on. targets, who were randomly assigned by researchers from columbia university in new york, lived in 13 countries. they included an australian police officer, a norwegian veterinarian, and a college professor. out of 24,000 chains, only 384 reached their goal. the rest petered out, usually because one of the recipients was either too busy to forward the message or thought it was junk mail. the links that reached their goal made it in an average of 4.05 e-mails. based on the lengths of the failed chains, the researchers estimated that two strangers could generally make contact in five to seven e-mails. the most successful chains relied on casual acquaintances rather than close friends. thats because your close friends know each other whereas your acquaintances tend to know people you dont know. the phenomenon, known as the strength of weak ties, explains why people tend to get jobs through people they know casually but arent that close to. so, start networking and instant messaging now. as they say in show business: its all about who you know. 6. if you want to get into touch with a stranger in the world, how many e-mails might it take for the message to reach him/her?a. 5 to 7b. 18c. 13d. 3847. which of the following is not true about the test?a. 24,000 people took part in the study and sent e-mails to people they knew.b. the 18 targets were chosen by chance.c. about 98.4% of the mails didnt reach their goal because some people were too busy or they mistook the message for junk mail.d. the targets come from 13 countries, such as australia, norway and new york.8. what does the word “estimate” mean in the passage?a. make sureb. supposec. think overd. imagine9. why do people tend to get jobs more easily through casual acquaintances than close friends?a. because close friends dont talk with each other so much.b. because casual acquaintances can help you know more people and make more friends.c. because close friends dont spend so much time gathering together.d. because casual acquaintances are kinder and more willing to help others.10. in which part of a newspaper will readers read this passage?a. culture b. entertainmentc. information and technologyd. health 全解全析本文主要講述電子郵件將人們的聯(lián)系拉近。6. a 細節(jié)理解題。由第一段最后一句可知。7. d 細節(jié)理解題。由第二段可知，a, b, c都正確；由第三段最后一句可知，d不正確。8. b 詞義猜測題。estimate “估計”，與b選項suppose意思最接近。9. b 細節(jié)理解題。由第六段可知。10. c 推理判斷題。因本文談的e-mail與電腦有關，所以應與“信息和技術(shù)”相關。閱讀理解-cbritish
