2019届高考英语一轮复习阅读提速练（6）
A
Riding on the road? Time to review all that you learned in elementary school — especially if you'll be riding in traffic：
Always ride on the right side of the street in the same direction as the traffic. Never ride against traffic. Try to use bike lanes whenever you can.
Always stop and check for traffic in both directions when leaving your driveway. Some people in cars just don't see cyclists.
Watch traffic closely for turning cars or cars pulling out of driveways.
Don't ride too closely to parked cars — doors can open suddenly!
Stop at all stop signs and stop at red lights just as cars do. Take special care at crossroads. It's a good idea to walk your bike across busy crossroads using the crosswalk.
Don't wear headphones while biking — you need to hear what's going on around you.
Never change directions or change lanes without first looking behind you and using the correct hand signals. That way everyone knows where you're going. You can use your left arm for all hand signals. To show you're making a left turn, hold your arm straight out to the left. To show a right turn, bend your elbow, holding your arm up in an “L” shape. And before you stop, bend your elbow, pointing your arm downward in an upside down “L” shape. Of course, you c an also hold your right arm straight out to the right to show you are going to turn right.
Biking is a fun way to get exercise and a great way to get around, but bike injuries are common. So follow these tips to really enjoy your ride.

(2018·江西南昌二模)A small family approached. The daughter was young and pretty. Her name was Blair, and she was obviously leaving. Her parents were not. The three gazed at the crowd and began their wait. Blair was twenty­three, fresh from graduate school with a handsome résumé (简历) but not ready for a career. A friend from college was in Africa as a volunteer for Peace Work, which had inspired Blair to devote the next two years to helping others. Her assignment was in eastern Peru, where she would teach primitive little children how to read. She would live in a hut with no modern conveniences, no electricity and no phones, and she was
anxious to begin her journey.
The flight would take her to Miami, then to Lima, then by bus for three days into the mountains, into another century. For the first time in her young and sheltered life, Blair would spend Christmas away from home.
Luther, her father, was sad that Blair was leaving. The goodbyes had all been said. “Are you sure this is what you want？” had been asked for the hundredth time. Then, the first announcement was made, the one asking those in first class to come forward.
“I guess we'd better go，” Luther said to his daughter, his only child. They hugged again and fought back the tears. Blair smiled and said, “The year will fly by. I'll be home next Christmas.”
Nora, her mother, bit her lip, nodded and kissed her once more. “Please be careful，” she said because she couldn't st op saying it.
“I'll be fine.”
They released her and watched helplessly as she joined a long line and inched away, away from them, away from home and security and everything she'd ever known. They turned and got into endless sadness.

During an airport delay the man to the left, a Korean perhaps, starts talking to the man opposite, who might be Colombian, and soon they are chatting away in what seems to be English. But the native English speaker sitting between them cannot understand what they are saying.
The Korean and the Colombian are actually speaking Globish, the latest addition to the 6,800 languages that are said to be spoken across the world. Not that its inventor, Jean­Paul Nerrière, considers it a proper language.
“It is not a language; it is a tool，” he says. “A language is the vehicle of a culture. Globish doesn't want to be that at all.” It is a means of simplifying the English language and giving it rules so it can be understood by all.
Globish involves a vocabulary limited to 1,500 words, short sentences, basic grammar rules, and many hand gestures to get the point across. The word list goes from “able” to “zero”. “Niece and nephew are not included, but you can replace them with the children of my brother，” Nerrière says.
The seeds for G lobish came about in the 1980s when Nerrière was working for IBM in Paris with colleagues of about 40 nationalities. At a meeting where they were to be addressed (演讲) by two Americans whose flight had been delayed, they started talking in their low­quality English. Then the Americans arrived and beyond their opening phrases, “Call me Jim，” “Call me Bill，” no one understood a word. And Jim and Bill, needless to say, did not understand the audience's English.
“My colleagues all, like me, spoke low­quality Eng lish. One might have a vocabulary of 2,000 words, another of 1,200 and not the same words. One of the things of interest in Globish is that with 1,500 words you can express everything. People all over the world will speak with the same limited vocabulary，”says Nerrière.
Nerrière believes that with 182 hours' learning the student should be able to communicate in Globish. It is not a pretty language — full of redundancies (多余；累赘) —but Nerrière repeats that it is nothing but a tool. “It is not the language of great writers such as Shakespeare, Faulkner or Virginia Woolf，” he explains.
语篇解读：本文是说明文。

文章介绍了一种只有1 500个单词的国际辅助语——全球语。

1．The native English speaker mentioned in the first paragraph ________.
A．knows the Colombian B．can't speak Globish
C．doesn't like chatting D．can speak Korean
解析：选B 推理判断题。

根据第一段的“But the native English speaker sitting between them cannot understand what they are saying.”可知，这个以英语为母语的人不懂全球语。

故选B项。

2．According to Nerrière, Globish is ________.
A．a proper language
B．the vehicle of a culture
C．a means of communication
D．the rule of the English language
解析：选C 细节理解题。

根据第三段的“It is not a language; it is a tool”和“It is a means ... so it can be understood by all.”可知，Nerrière认为全球语只是一种交流的工具。

故选C项。

3．Which of the following words can be used to describe the meeting in the 1980s?
A．Interesting. B．Amazing.
C．Unimportant. D．Unsuccessful.
解析：选D 推理判断题。

根据第五段可知，Nerrière和他的同事们听不懂两个美国人的演讲，美国人也听不懂观众的英语，由此可见这次会议很不成功。

故选D项。

4．What can we learn about Globish?
A．It creates many new words.
B．It is very difficult to learn.
C．It doesn't require grammar rules.
D．It contains a list of 1,500 words.

The tourists come in groups, aboard buses, bicycles and camping vehicles. They stand at the water's edge in awe (赞叹) of the icebergs floating before them —some as white as snow, others radiating a deep blue. They take a quick deep breath when a piece breaks off and falls into the cold water.
Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon (环礁湖) in southeast Iceland is one of the country's top attractions. It is also a vivid warning of the glacier's predicted disappearance, a damaging consequence of climate change in a nation where these slow­moving rivers of ice are a cultural and social symbol. It looks centuries old, b ut the lagoon only appeared in the mid­1930s when the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier started to retreat (范围缩小). Declared a nature reserve in July, it is now the country's deepest lake and growing bigger every day.
Vatnajökull, the largest ice cap in Iceland and the source of Breiðamerkurjökull, is thinning rapidly due to rising global temperatures and could be completely gone in 200 years, scientists say. Other glaciers may vanish much earlier. “All glaciers in Iceland are retreating at an unbelievable pace，” s aid Oddur Sigurdsson, a geologist at the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) who has studied them for 30 years.
Their going away leads to great changes in Iceland's weather patterns, water flows, animals and plants, volcanic activity and land, according to the IMO. Iceland is becoming greener and some of its land is rising as climate change gathers pace, bringing economic and other consequences.
“Just seeing them disappearing is very heartbreaking，” said Agnes Gunnarsdottir, CEO of Perlan Museum. It is holding an exhibition on glaciers to educate people on the effect of climate change on the environment. She remembers visiting her grandparents' home in the countryside when Vatnajökull was much larger.“We are seeing this in our lifetime. It's changing so qu ickly — it's very frightening. I fear the glacier will disappear completely in the near future，” she said.
语篇解读：这是一篇说明文，讲述的是与冰岛的冰川融化相关的内容。

1．What does the author say about the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon?
A．It is the cultural symbol of Iceland.
B．It has a history of several hundreds years.
C．Its expansion results from icebergs' shrinking.
D．It is the most popular tourist attraction of Iceland.
解析：选 C 细节理解题。

根据第二段中的“It looks centuries old ... growing bigger every day.”可知，Jökulsárlón冰川环礁湖的扩大是冰山融化即减少的结果。

故选C。

2．W hat does the underlined word “vanish” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Disappear. B．Swing.
C．Expand. D．Break.
解析：选 A 词义猜测题。

根据第三段第一句可知，科学家说由于全球气温的上升，Vatnajökull变薄的速度很快，它可能200年后会完全消失。

据此可知，画线词所在句的意思应是“其他冰川可能消失得早得多”。

画线词与上文中的“gone”意思相近，意为“消失”。

故选A。

3．What's the last but one paragraph mainly about?
A．Reasons for glaciers' melting.
B．Possible effects of glaciers' melting.
C．The importance of glaciers to Iceland.
D．The formation and movement of glaciers.
解析：选B 段落大意题。

根据倒数第二段的内容，尤其是“Their going away leads to great changes in ... and land”“bringing economic and other consequences”可知，本段主要讲的是冰川融化可能会带来的影响。

故选B。

4．What is Agnes Gunnarsdottir's attitude toward the change of Iceland glaciers?
A．Ambiguous. B．Disapproving.
C．Concerned. D．Cautious.
解析：选C 观点态度题。

根据最后一段内容，尤其是“We are seeing this in our lifetime. It's changing so quickly —it's very frightening. I fear the glacier will disappear completely in the near future”可知，Agnes Gunnarsdottir担心冰岛的冰川在不远的将来会全部消失。

故选C。
