一、高中英语阅读理解
1．阅读理解
Garbage sorting has become a hot issue around China, especially after Shanghai began carrying out a regulation on July 1.
Beijing, as a forerunner in environmental protection, has thus been expected to follow suit. The capital of the country has long been campaigning for sorting and recycling household waste, as part of its environmental drive for sustainable growth, local media reported.
The current regulation gives garbage sorting responsibilities to government departments, property management groups and other organizations. It also gives rules for companies, outlining how they're responsible for waste collection, transportation and treatment. Only individuals are not subject to responsibilities.
The long-awaited revision will soon change the situation, "Taking out the trash without sorting it properly will be illegal," said Sun Xinjun, director of the Beijing Commission of Urban Management. In Shanghai, violators are now fined up to 200 yuan ($30)for trash-sorting violations. The maximum fine in Beijing will not be less than that, he said.
The Beijing city government first set out to promote garbage sorting in 2009. Authorities have since called on citizens to sort their household waste into four types-recyclable waste, kitchen trash, dangerous waste and others-and leave it in a corresponding dustbin or trash can. Blue-colored dustbins signify items within are recyclable, green represents kitchen trash, red corresponds to dangerous materials and grey to other waste.
To promote the awareness of garbage sorting and expand the base of participants, authorities have employed workers to help residents on the spot. With intelligent devices, those who throw in recyclable waste at given sites will be rewarded with bonus points, which can be used to buy daily goods. At some communities, there are no color-coded dustbins. Instead, a scheduled garbage collection service is offered to help improve the environment. In other communities, workers offer a door-to-door service to collect recyclables or kitchen waste.
Beijing Environmental Sanitation Engineering Group has been promoting new garbage sorting facilities such as recycling cabinets and smart kitchen waste trash cans since 2016, Xinhua News Agency reported. Nearly 26,000 metric tons of household waste is generated across Beijing on a daily basis and 29 terminal garbage disposal facilities are working at full capacity. Nearly 9.3 million tons of household waste was processed in the city last year.
（1）According to the passage, which dustbins should some used coke cans be thrown into?
A. Grey-colored dustbins.
B. Red-colored dustbins.
C. Green-colored dustbins.
D. Blue-colored dustbins.
（2）We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. new technology has been applied to help deal with garbage
B. Beijing carried out a more severe rule on garbage sorting than Shanghai
C. the change of the current regulation has aroused objection among citizens
D. the amount of household waste in Beijing is far from something disturbing
（3）What is the best title for the text?
A.How to Sort Garbage in China
B.The Current Regulation in Beijing

2．阅读理解
At 23 I applied for full-time positions with no intention of working five days a week. As a housewife, I had two pre-school children then but wanted to work three days a week.
This was a huge deal for me. I needed to work, but also wanted to spend time with my children while they were young. I didn't want to miss out on school drop-offs and pick-ups. But I also didn't want to miss out on the opportunity of promotion.
Before the interviews, I prepared a plan of how I was going to make this work for me and the employer. I saw it as a two-way agreement — the business adapting to me and me adapting to the business.
Finally I became a member of EY at 33. EY was the only firm that seemed receptive to my plan;
in fact, we spent time during that first interview talking about how we could make it work together. Most importantly, the person interviewing me worked flexibly too — four days a week.
I appreciated that I'm one of the lucky ones. Even 10 years on, flexible hiring and working remains the exception rather than the rule for most.
What will help shift views and behavior, in addition to organizations updating their hiring policies, is talking more openly about how most of us organize our day around our responsibilities. We all have a life outside of work and we shouldn't be embarrassed to talk about it, even during a job interview.
It's a change in the way of thinking, not just for employers but employees too. In the early days I was confident about my ability but I probably did have a preconception (先入之见) that working part-time would limit my career progression. What I quickly realized was that if I took responsibility for my development, I could make sure that I got the same opportunities as if I was working full-time. So I offered solutions to how we could make it work, and it made me stand out.（1）Why did the author want a flexible job?
A. To balance her work and life.
B. To have more time to relax.
C. To avoid too much stress in life.
D. To stand out as a special woman.
（2）What perhaps made the author become a member of EY?
A. The time spent discussing her plan.
B. Her relationship with the interviewer.
C. Her great confidence in the interview.
D. The interviewer's understanding her.
（3）What does the author advise to apply for a flexible job?
A. Trying to seize every opportunity one can get.
B. Persuading the company to change its hiring policies.
C. Being honest about one's personal life outside of work.
D. Convincing the employer of one's responsibility for the job.
（4）What can we infer about her job from the passage?
A.It weakened her ability.
B.It made her highly noticeable.
C.It limited her career promotion.
D.It caused her to earn less money.
【答案】（1）A
（2）D
（3）D
（4）B

4．阅读理解
The negative (负面的) health effects of sleep shortages during the week can't be changed by marathon weekend sleep sessions, according to a new study.
Researchers have long known that routine sleep deprivation (缺乏) can cause weight gain and increase other health risks, including diabetes. But there are still some people who hope that shutting off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and remove any ill effects.
The research, published in Current Biology, ruins those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep in and nap during a weekend recovery period, participants in a sleep laboratory who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced metabolic disruption (代谢紊乱) that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of inadequate sleep, those gains were wiped out when people returned right to their same sleep schedule the next Monday.
"If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, they're gone when you go back to your routine. It's very short-lived," said Kenneth Wright, who led the research. "These health effects are long-term. It's kind of like smoking once was — people would smoke and wouldn't see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the early stage of where smoking used to be."
Wright said that the study suggests people should prioritize sleep — cutting out the optional "sleep stealers" such as watching television shows or spending time on electronic equipment. Even when people don't have a choice about losing sleep due to child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about prioritizing sleep in the same way they would think about a healthy diet or exercise.
（1）What had the researchers already known before doing the new research?
A. The actual benefits of weekend recovery sleep.
B. Harm to health caused by the lack of routine sleep.
C. People's habit of shutting off the alarm during holidays.
D. The relationship between body weight and sleep amount.
（2）Kenneth Wright mentioned smoking to _________.
A. call on smokers to completely abandon smoking
B. advise people to go to sleep when they want to smoke
C. show people have known the harm brought by smoking
D. show people will someday notice the bad effects of sleep deprivation
（3）What does the underlined word "prioritize" probably mean?
A.Have a low opinion of something.
B.Increase the amount of something.
C.Cut down something that isn't necessary any more.
D.Treat something as being more important than others.
（4）What can be the best title for the text?
A.Weekend Catch-up Sleep Is a Lie
B.Bad Sleep Habits Are Harmful to Health
C.A New Study Has an Unexpected Discovery
D.Advantages and Disadvantages of Catch-up Sleep
【答案】（1）B
（2）D
（3）D
（4）A
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，作者通过一项研究与对比举例的方法让大家明白周末马拉松式的“补觉”并不能扭转工作日睡眠不足对健康的负面影响。

人们应该把睡眠放在优先地位。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的“Researchers have long known that routine sleep deprivation (缺乏) can cause weight gain and increase other health risks, including diabetes”研究人员很早就知道长期的睡眠缺乏会导致体重增加和像糖尿病这样的健康风险，可知，人们很早就知道长期睡眠不足会给身体带来的危害。

故选B。

（2）考查推理判断。

根据第四段中Kenneth Wright说的最后两句话可知：长期睡眠不足给健康造成的危害是长期的，就像曾经的抽烟习惯一样——人们抽烟，没有看到立即的效应，但是现在人们会说抽烟是不健康的生活方式。

睡眠不足就像是早期的抽烟一样。

也就是说作者用这个比喻是想让大家知道终究会有一天人们会注意到睡眠不足带来的坏处。

故选D。

（3）考查词义猜测。

划线单词后有一个破折后，起解释说明的作用。

由破折后的句意：减少不必要的“睡眠小偷”式行为，比如看电视节目或者花时间在电子设备上。

可知，我们需要把睡眠放在优先的地位。

也就是说要把睡眠看的比看电视节目、看电子设备等等这些行为更重要。

故选D。

（4）考查主旨大意。

第一段就说明了文章中心。

第一段段意为：一项发人深省的新研究表明，周末马拉松式的“补觉”并不能扭转工作日睡眠不足对健康的负面影响。

也就是说周末的补觉是一个谎言。

故选A。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测，推理判断和主旨大意四个题型的考查，是一篇健康类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

5．阅读理解
A home science experiment recently took the world by storm. Two teens from Toronto, in Canada, sent a Lego man rising above the Earth and captured their tiny astronaut's trip on film.
Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, both 17, used a weather balloon to launch their plastic lego model 16 miles above the Earth. This is inside a part of Earth's atmosphere.
The two teens were inspired by a similar project performed by students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT). The MIT students had launched a weather balloon with a camera into near space and taken many unusual images of the Earth. Mathew and Asad then spend four months figuring out how to launch their own spacecraft into the space.
Travelling to space is expensive for NASA, but Mathew and Asad worked hard to keep their costs down. They bought much of their equipment used and even sewed the Lego man's parachute by hand. In total, the project cost only$400.
"We had a lot of anxiety on launch day because there were high winds when we were going up," Mathew told reporters. They had to pump extra helium(氦)into the balloon so that it would rise quickly and avoid being blown too far off course by the strong winds.
The toy astronaut's journey lasted 97 minutes before the balloon broke and he fell back to Earth. Mathew and Asad then spent two weekends looking for their spacecraft. It had landed 76miles away from the launch site.
The student scientists are currently finishing up their final year of high school and applying for colleges. They are also looking into more do-it-yourself space projects.
"I guess the sky is not really the limit anymore," Mathew told reporters. "We never knew we'd get this far. It's been a lesson for us that hard work pays off."
（1）By saying "took the world by storm" in the first paragraph, the writer meant the experiment______________.
A. destroyed the world
B. flooded the world
C. fascinated the world
D. managed the world
（2）Which of the following about the students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is right?
A.They were examples for Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad.
B.They helped Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad to achieve dream.
C.They launched weather balloon together with Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad.
D.They studied with Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad in the same school.
（3）How did Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad keep their costs down?
A.By sewing the weather balloon themselves.
B.By borrowing spacecraft from the MIT students.
C.By making their spacecraft by hand.
D.By using second-hand equipment.
（4）What problems did Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad have on launch day?
A.They ran out of helium.
B.The wind was too strong.
C.The balloon suddenly broke.
D.Their spacecraft was blown away.
【答案】（1）C
（2）A
（3）D
（4）B
【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。

这是一件很了不起的事情，故推测这件事吸引了全世界的目光，即画线部分的意思是"吸引了全世界"，故选C项。

（2）细节理解题。

根据文章第三段的The two teens were inspired by a similar project performed by students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT).可知这两个孩子是受到了两个麻省理工学生相似实验的启发，然后做了他们自己的实验，即他们是这两个孩子的榜样，故选A项。

（3）细节理解题。

根据文章第四段的They bought much of their equipment used and even sewed the Lego man's parachute by hand. In total, the project cost only$400.可知他们很多的设备都是二手的，甚至自己缝制乐高人的降落伞，所以他们的总费用才花了400美元，故选D项。

（4）细节理解题。

根据文章第五段的"We had a lot of anxiety on launch day because there were high winds when we were going up,"Mathew told reporters.可知，在进行发射的那天风速很快，这让他们很担心，故选B项。

8．阅读理解
Most adults find it hard to recall events from their first few years of life and now scientists have found exactly when these childhood memories fade(消失).
A new study has found that most three-year-olds can recall a lot of what happened to them over a year earlier, and these memories persist while they are five and six, but by the time they are over seven, these memories decline(衰退) rapidly.
Most children by the age of eight or nine can only recall 35% of their experiences from under the age of three, according to the new findings.
The scientists behind the research say this is because at around this age the way we form memories begins to change. They say that before the age of seven children do not have a sense of time and place in their memories. In older children, however, the early events they can recall tend to be more adult-like in the way they are formed. Children also have a far faster rate of forgetting than adults. The findings also help to explain why children can often have clear memories of events but then forget them just a couple of years later.
The youngsters first visited the laboratory at the age of three and discussed six unique events from their past, such as family outings, trips to the zoo, and the first day of school. The children then returned for a second session between the ages of five and nine to discuss the same events. The researchers found that between the ages of five and seven, the amount of memories the children could recall remained between 63 -72 percent. However, the amount of information eight-to nine-year-old children could recall dropped to 35 and 36 percent.
