1、漳州市2014 高考英語（閱讀理解）一輪暑假訓練（11）（答案） There were red faces at one of Britain’s biggest banks recently.

The bank lo

2、st ￡20,000 on the deal which it cannot get back, because, for one thing, the young boy does not have the money, for another, being under 18, he is not legally liable for his debts. If the shares had risen in value by the same amount that they fell, he would have pocketed ￡20,000 profit. It certainly

3、 is better than delivering the morning newspaper. In another case, a boy of 14 found, in his grandmother’s house, a suitcase full of foreign banknotes. But they were now not used in their country of origin or anywhere else. This young boy headed straight to the nearest bank with his pockets filled w

4、ith notes. The cashiers did not realize the country in question had reduced the value of its currency by 90%. They exchanged the notes at their face value at the current exchange rate.

5、 more than half of this before the police caught up with him. Because he is also under 18 the banks have kissed goodbye to a lot of money, and several cashiers have lost their jobs. Should we admire these youngsters for being enterprising and showing initiative or condemn them for their dishonesty?

6、 Maybe they had managed for years with tiny amounts of pocket money that they got from tight-fisted parents. Maybe they had done Saturday jobs for peanuts. It is hardly surprising, given the expensive things that young people want to buy, such as fashionable running shoes and computer games, if they

7、 sometimes think up more imaginative ways of making money than delivering newspapers. These youngsters saw the chance to make a lot of money and took it. Another recent story which should give us food for thought is the case of the man who paid his six-year-old daughter￡300 a week pocket money. He

8、 then charged her for the food she ate a few coins for her piggy bank（存錢灌）“She will soon learn the value of money, ” he said. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

9、 bed and board for their grown-up children, While even the most hard-hearted parents might hesitate to throw their children out on the streets, we all know of people in their twenties who still shamelessly live off their parents.

16、項。 A Every parent wants their child to grow up to enjoy life and be successful. Each and every one of us has something that we don’t want our children to experience as they get older. We protect them hoping they will never experience hurt, yet as they get older they come across their own struggles

17、. We often do everything we can to keep them from making the mistakes that we have made. Your children are not you. They are incredible little beings that choose you to experience life with.

18、 our own experiences.

19、 the person you would want them to be—helping others, loving yourself and making no judgments about other people.

26、people. One is the man who always seems to be clapping his hands—often at the wrong time—during a performance in the theater. He keeps you from hearing the actors. Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and the play begins. They come hurrying down to your row of sea

28、 to stand up, hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass. Now, that is “a pain in the neck”. Another, well-known to us all, is the person sitting behind you in the movies.

35、radio is for music, but now with online sites streaming music for free they do not bother, and users can choose the songs they want instead of listening to what the radio presenter/DJ chooses. Television Most teenagers watch television, but usually there are points in the year where they watch mo

36、re than average. This is due to programs coming on in seasons, so they will watch a particular show at a certain time (as long as it lasts) but then they may watch no television for weeks. Teenagers are also watching less television because of services such as BBC iPlayer, which allows them to wat

37、ch shows when they want. While watching TV, advertisements come on quite regularly (18 minutes of every hour) and teenagers do not want to watch these, so they switch to another channel, or do something else while the ads run. Newspapers No teenager that I know of regularly reads a newspaper, as

38、most do not have the time and cannot be bothered to read pages and pages of text while they could watch the news summarized on the Internet or on TV. Internet Every teenager has some access to the Internet, be it at school or home. Home use is mainly used for fun (such as social networking) whils

39、t school (or library) use is for work. Most teenagers are heavily active on a combination of social networking sites.

40、scale. For searching the web, Google is the dominant figure, simply because it is well known and easy to use.

Mobile Phones 99pc of teenagers have a mobile phone and most are quite capable phones. Usual

42、ly, teenagers only use their phones for texting, calling. Features such as video messaging or video calling are not used—because they are expensive. Services such as instant messaging are used, but not by everyone. It usually depends whether the phone is Wi-Fi compatible, because otherwise it is ve

43、ry expensive to get Internet off the phone network. As most teenagers’ phones have Bluetooth support, and Bluetooth is free, they utilize this feature often.

44、tant emails. (B) BCAC *******************************************************結(jié)束 C With eco-tourism on the rise, eco-hotels are fast becoming the darling of the travel industry. These days, however, staying at an eco-hotel doesn’t necessarily mean vacationing in a tree house

46、 food from gardens on the hotel property or get part or all of their power from renewable energy; hotels that encourage community involvement such as guests taking part in trail clearing; and hotels that offer some form of environmental education to their guests.

No matter what you call them,

48、eco-hotel, eco-lodge, eco-resort, or green hotel, they’re all part of the “greening” of the tourism industry. Part of what drives this greening of the hotel industry is no doubt competition. Going green is yet another way to distinguish a hotel from the mass of other excellent hotels that consumer

49、s have to choose from. But for many hotels, it’s also part of their philosophy. With the concept of “going green” firmly rooted in consumers’ minds, eco-hotels have taken it to the next level, and whether or not money is the driving factor behind the greening of the hotel industry doesn’t matter so
