2016合肥市高考英语:阅读理解二轮训练（3）及答案
【2015高考复习】阅读理解
Walk down the drinks section at the supermarket。

Look in the drink cooler in your local convenience store。

A new drink is taking up more and more space on the shelves,and that drink is water。

Bottled water sales in the US rose to 1。

7 billion gallons in 2010 for plastic bottles alone，compared to total sales of only 700 million gallons in 1990.Whereas bottled water was once associated only with the rich and the privileged （特权阶层),it is now regularly drunk by people at all income levels despite the fact that the price of bottled water can be between 240 and 10,000 times higher per gallon than tap water。

What accounts for this surprising increase in demand? Traditionally,people have drunk bottled water for health reasons.The practice of “taking the waters" originated with the Romans，who believed that a person developed a healthy mind by building a healthy body.Across Europe,drinking or bathing in mineral water has been associated with the power to cure various diseases.Health spas at Evian in France and Pellegrino in Italy began bottling water so that their consumers could continue their treatments at home.The consumers in the 21st century are also concerned about health。

However，in America,where the
habit of drinking bottled water is relatively new，the concern is often more related to the purity or sterilization (消毒）of the water than to its mineral contents.Americans are often worried about the effects of the chemical pollution and other contaminants on the water supply。

Many Americans view bottled water as a safe alternative to tap water.
Further reasons for drinking bottled water are its usefulness as an aid to digestion，as a complement to a good meal in a restaurant，and for taste。

City tap water is often treated with chlorine （氯）to guard against harmful anisms。

Chlorine,as well as metals from pipes and tanks used to distribute and store tap water,can leave behind an unpleasant taste。

【2015高考复习】阅读理解
For anyone who is determined to be a fashion designer，it is not enough to have succeeded in college.The real test is whether they can survive，and become established during their early 20s，making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can be as important as talent and creativity。

Fashion is a hard business。

There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed to prepare for the next season’s collections.It is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines。

It also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy。

“We try to warn people before they come to
us about how tough it is." says Lydia Kemeny,Head of Fashion at St。

Martin’s School of Art in London.“And we point out that drive and determination are absolutely necessary。

”
This may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashionable young people spending their time designing pretty dresses。

That may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college won’t be slow in i ntroducing students to commercial realities,“We don’t walk our foot on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of price，producing ability，marketing and so on。

”
Almost all fashion design is done to a brief。

It is not a form of
self.expression as such,although there is certainly room for imagination and creativity。

Most young designers are going to end up as employees of a producer or a fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the characteristic style of their employer.Even those students who are most modern in their own taste of clothes may need to adapt to produce designs which are right for the mainstream of the market.They also have to be able to work at both the expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be demanding。

阅读理解.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

Some years ago I took on a task in a southern county to work with people on public welfare。

What I wanted to do was to show that everybody has the capacity to be self sufficient and all we have to do is to activate(激励)them。

I asked the country to pick up a group of people who were on public welfare，people from different racial groups and different family groups. I would then see them as a group for three hours every Friday. I also asked for a little petty cash to work with，as I needed it。

The first thing I said after I shook hands with everybody was，“I'd like to know what your dreams are.” Everyone looked at me as if I were kind of fool。

One woman said to me, “I don’t know what you can do with dreams。

The rats are eating up my kids。

”
“Oh，” I said, “That’s terrible。

No，of course, you are very much involved with the rats and your kids. How can that be helped?”
“Well, I could use a new screen door because there are holes in my screen door.” I asked，“Is there anybody around here who know how
to fix a screen door？”
There was a man in the group and he said，“A long time ago I used to do things like that but now I have a terribly bad back, but I’ll try。

”
I told him I had some money if he would go to the store and but some screening and go and fix the lady’s screen door。

“Do you think you can do that?”
“Yes，I’ll try。

”
The next week，when the group was seated。

I said to the woman, “Well, is your screen door fixed？"
“Oh，yes." she said。

“Then we can start dreaming，can't we？" she sort of smiled at me。

I said to the man who did the work，“How do you feel？”
He said，“Well, you know，it’s very funny thing。

I’m beginning to feel a lot better。

”
That helped the group to begin to dream。

These seemingly small successes allowed the group to see that dreams were not insane. These small steps began to get people to see and feel that something really could happen.
Everyone found something。

The man who put in the screen door became a handyman。

In 12 weeks，I had all those people off public welfare。

I’ve not only done that once，I’ve done that in many times。

50．What’s the opinion the author had when he took on the work? A．People need to be activated by others to make a living。

A．The author did the work at his own expense。

B．The people the author worked with were very wealthy。

C．The author usually met the people four times a month.
D．The people the author worked with had no dreams at all. 52．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．The rats are so big that they eat the children。

B．The rats are crazy and have the children as food。

C．The rats are giving the kids and the mother much trouble。

D．The kids are too weak and even are nearly eaten by the rats。
