辽宁营口市2014高考英语阅读理解、短文填单词类训练题（16）及答案Tens of thousands of theatre tickets will be given away to young people next year as part of a government campaign to inspire a lifelong love for theatre.The plan to offer free seats to people aged between 18 to 26 funded with 2.5 million of taxpayers money was announced yesterday by Andy Burnham, the Culture Secretary. It received a cautious welcome from some in the arts world，who expressed concern that the tickets may not reach the most underprivileged.The plan comes as West End theatres are enjoying record audiences, thanks largely to musicals teaming up with television talent shows. Attendances reached 13.6 million in 2007，up 10 percent on 2006, itself a record year. Total sales were up 18 percent on 2006 to almost 470 million.One theatre source criticized the Government s priorities(优先考虑的事) in funding free tickets when pensioners were struggling to buy food and fuel, saying: “I don t know why the Government s wasting money on this. The Young Vic, as The Times reported today，offers excellent performances at cheap prices.”There was praise for the Government s plan from Dominic Cooke of the Royal Court Theatre, who said: “I support any move to get young people into theatre, and especially one that aims to do it all over England, not just in London.”Ninety-five publicly funded theatres could apply for funding under the two-year plan. In return, they will offer free tickets on at least one day each week to 18 to 26-year-olds，first-come, first-served. It is likely to be on Mondays, traditionally a quiet night for the theatre.Mr. Burnham said: “A young person attending the theatre can find it an exciting experience, and be inspired to explore a new world. But sometimes people miss out on it because they fear it s not for them . It s time to change this perception.”Jeremy Hunt, the Shadow Culture Secretary, said: “The real issue is not getting enthusiastic children into the theatre，but improving arts education so that more young people want to go in the first place. For too many children theatres are a no-go area.”71Critics of the plan argued that_.A. the theatres would be overcrowdedB. it would be a waste of moneyC. pensioners wouldnt get free ticketsD. the government wouldnt be able to afford it72According to the supporters, the plan should_. A. benefit the television industry B. focus on producing better plays C. help increase the sales of tickets D. involve all the young people in England73Which of the following is TRUE about the plan?A.

To get to the other side. Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more concerned with how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road. Millions of animals die each year on US roads, the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat exist in the US today. The main reason? Road kill. “Ecopassages” may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid human conflicts, said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Conservation Society.But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lion used the passage. Builders of some ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses. The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around.You might see an animal overpass!51. The writer uses the example of ocelots to show that _.A. wild animals have become more dangerousB. the driving conditions have improved greatlyC. the measure for protecting wildlife fails to workD. an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents52. From the news story, we know an ecopassage is _ .A. an underground path for cars B. a fence built for the safety of the areaC. a bridge for animals to get over a river D. a pass for animals to cross the road53. When the writer says that animals seem to be catching on, he means _.A. animals begin to realize the dangers on the roadB. animals begin to learn to use ecopassagesC. animals are crossing the road in groupsD. animals are increasing in number54. The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because .A. wild animals may attack cars B. wild animals may jam the roadC. they may see wild animals in the park D. they may see wild animals on ecopassages参考答案51-54 DDBD*结束 任务型读写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。Some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better lifeTo what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?In this fast-paced world, many values are undergoing major changesWhile people traditionally prioritize(优先) caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-absorbed and self-concernedModern people act selfishly to survive the severe competition of lifeThey say that it is a struggle out thereTo survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handyObviously greed and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideasIn a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleaguesWe are in any way advocating any selfish conductIt is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influencesIn spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabularyIn ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more criticized thenBut we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterpartsAre we happier to share with others and be generous to them?

Education, which greatly affects the qualities of human resources, has undergone rapid developments in recent years.Last year, China had more than 2 million graduates from colleges or universities, and another 3.5 million graduates from vocational schools.Despite the great developments in education, in the era of reform, lawmakers exposes and criticized many problems in the developments of education , which trouble, if not anger, the public.One of the most glaring problems is that in Chinas vast rural areas, even the most basic education is not available to some children. And elsewhere, even if they have access, the facilities available for them are still a far cry from those in cities.Official statistics show that at the primary stage, there are a big number of rural students who drop out of school because they do not have the money to pay their tuition fees.At college level, there have been some big increases in tuition fees over the last few years. So, some students from rural areas have also been forced to abandon their dreams.China has a long tradition of valuing education and Chinese parents are willing to save each and every penny to support their childrens schooling. But in a nation of more than 1.3 billion people, upholding equal opportunities in the education sector is a discouraging task.The central government is delicated to quickening the development of the cause, It will cancel rural school fees and offer the children in povertystricken areas financial support so they can all enjoy the equal education and complete the nineyear compulsory schooling programme.The most important part of the issue lies in the amount of cash put into it. On the other hand, it is more than an issue of fiscal input财政收入. The unbalanced distribution of resources between rural and urban schools risks slowing down the future of Chinas vast rural areas, where two thirds of the population live.Education is undoubtedly the longterm lifeline of citizens. Good education promotes more than personal wellbeing or the fulfillment of individual ambition. As individual ability grows, the nation will become stronger and more prosperous.Equality in education is vital to the sustainability of our nations economic progress. It has a big impact on every citizens quality of life, so the government must do all it can to achieve this goal.An overview of education in China As Chinas economy grows, education, which has a great 1 on the qualities of human resources, has experienced great developments. 2 in he development of educationIn 3 of great developments., what worries the public is that there are still children in vast rural areas who have no 4 to the most basic education and the facilities available are far from 5compared with those in cities.
