黑龙江省七台河市2017高考英语一轮阅读理解指导性选练二
【2016高考英语阅读理解训练】阅读下面短文，选择最佳答案。

If you are a college student, probably you are greatly stressed when the final exams are coming. University students are good at coming up with ways to cope with the stress of college life. But some students at a college in Canada have started a new trend that is family-friendly, opening a puppy room for students during finals week (December 4-6)
The National Post reports that for three days during finals week, students at Dalousie University can spend some time with lovely dogs, which is being brought in by Therapeutic Paws of Canada. “It is something that people need right now because students are superstressed,” Michael Kean, an environmental science student who first proposed the idea, told me the Post. After the student union first advertised the event on its Face book page, the news of the Puppy Room spread quickly across social networking sites. “Our expectations are pretty high right now,” Gavin Jardine, vice president of student l ife at Dalhousie told the Post. “We had 1800 shares, thousands of ‘likes’. It attracted a lot of attention on Twitter as well. It spread as quickly as a virus.”
Don LeBlance of Therapeutc Paws of Canada said all the dogs attending the event come from loving homes and enjoy the company of people. A number of different breeds will be on hand to interact with students who sign up to visit the Puppy Room. And buzz from the Dalhousie Puppy Room has spread so quickly that LeBlance says a half dozen universities have already called about staging similar events for their students.
So, is there any actual evidence to support using guest dogs to reduce the stress of busy college students? “If you do any research at all about the benefits of using pets, you wil l find out quite quickly that it lowers blood pressure,” LeBlanc said. “It certainly made a huge difference in my life when I got a dog.”
1 What is Michael Kean’s attitude toward the puppy room?
A. He thinks it is bad for dogs.
B. He doesn’t think it is relaxing.
C. He thinks it is a waste of time.
D. He thinks it works for college students.

4 that some universities want to ____________.
A. find out if their students are also stressed

参考答案1—4 DCBD
由 (2013四川新津中学高三下月考)改编
Last week,my granddaughter started kindergarten,and I wished her every success.But part of me didn’t.
I actually wanted her to fail in some ways because I believe that failure can be good for our learning process.Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do,or doing something correctly the first time—which can often be a problematic victory.
First-time success is often a fluke (侥幸).First-time failure,by contrast,is expected,it is the natural order of things.Failure is how we learn.
In Africa they describe a good cook as “she who has broken many pots”.If you’ve spent enough time in the kitchen to break a lot of pots,you probably know a lot about cooking.I once had dinner with a group of cooks,and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scars.They knew how much credibility (可靠性)their failures gave them.
I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column.Each week I am aware that one column I write will be my worst.I don’t set out to write it.I try my best every day.I have learned to cherish (珍惜)that column.A good column usually means that I am discussing a familiar topic,writing in a style I am used to or saying the same things as any one else but in a fancy way.
My younger daughter is a trapeze artist (杂技荡秋千演员).She spent three years putting together a show,and she did it successfully for years.There was no reason for her to change it—but she did anyway.She said she was no longer learning anything new and that she was bored.And if she was bored,there was no point in subjecting her body to all that stress.She risked failure and public embarrassment in order to feed her soul.
My granddaughter is a perfectionist.She will feel her failures,and I will want to comfort her.But I will also,I hope,remind her of what she learned,and how she can do better next time.
I hope I can tell her,though,that it’s not the end of the world.Indeed,with luck,it is just the beginning.
1.Why did the author want his granddaughter to fail?( )
A.Success is boring though beneficial.
B.It is impossible to do everything successfully.
C.She would learn more from failure.
D.He wanted her to be strong enough to face hardships.
2.What’s the author’s attitude toward his daughter changing her show?()
A.Positive.
B.Worried
C.Negative.
D.Excited.
3.The author develops the article mainly by .
A.following the time order
B.giving examples
paring different opinions
D.presenting a cause and analyzing its effects
4.The writer talked about his own experience to show that .
A.we cannot depend on luck to live a good life
B.past failures made him dare not take risks in writing
C.we should try every possible way to avoid failure
D.the thought of failure will make you work even harder
