入舵市安恙阳光实验学校黑龙江2017高考英语阅读理解暑假练习【2】
阅读下列短文,然后从各题所给的四个选项(A,B,C,D)中,选出最佳选项。
Some novels simply entertain and others contain a powerful message in the story line and characters. In his first novel, A Wind In Montana, Mitch Davies tells a story about young adults and how they accept responsibility for their lives.
A Wind In Montana is a marvelous tale of two teenagers, Rory Coleman and Victoria Beach, high school students at the same school, who struggle to make the right decision for themselves. As each of them nears adulthood, they become more concerned with the future and setting goals that will bring them happiness and fulfillment.
Without any advice from his parents, Rory chooses to pursue a profession in chemistry, applies for a chemistry scholarship, and determines to do everything he can to achieve it. Along the path, Rory finds that even though he has a plan, there are obstacles that could prevent him from realizing his goals. Victoria’s struggles are different from Rory’s. Although her father has dec ided that she should become a professional musician, Victoria has other plans for her life. Together, Rory and Victoria attempt to follow their dreams, despite the obstacles in their paths. A Wind In Montana contains a lesson for all teens about to enter adulthood - that disappointment and setbacks (挫折) are going to occur no matter how determined they are and that they need to develop skills along the way that will help them deal with them effectively.
There are so many major decisions facing teens today -social, parents, other influencing adults and school work -and there’s no guarantee that their plans will succeed, even if they make the so-called “right” decisions. A Wind In Montana explores how two teenagers struggle with their own unique decisions and how the choices they make affect their lives.
Mitch Davies’ book stands out among today’s teen books that deal with imaginary situations. A Wind In Montana is a real story about real people facing real-life situations. It’s entertaining and also helps readers think about their own lives and offers various ways to handle situations that may arise.

A. work hard at their courses

Humans: It's time to abandon Earth or Race Extinction.
It could be the plot of a summer blockbuster (巨片),but this prediction isn't science fiction. It's a glimpse of the future ,according to famous British scientist Stephen Hawking.
“I see great dangers for the human race,” he said in an interview with global forum Big Think. ‘‘There have been a number of times in the past when its survival has been a question of touch and go. ”
“I believe that the long-term future of the human race must be in space”,he said. “I t will be difficult enough to avoid disasters on planet Earth in the next hundred years ,let alone the next thousand, or million. ”
Hawking ,who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom last year, has recently voiced many concerns about the future of life on Earth.
"If aliens visited us ,the outcome would be as much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans,”he said. “Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads (游牧者),looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach. ”
But Hawking says he's still hopeful for the future of humanity. He told Big Think. "We've made remarkable progress in the last hundred years. But if we want to continue beyond the next hundred years ,our future is in space.”
Getting to another planet will prove a challenge ,not to mention colonizing it for humanity. Katherine Freese from University of Michigan told Big Think that “the nearest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri which is 4. 2 light years away. That means ,if you were traveling at the speed of light the whole time, it would take 4. 2 years to get there —or about 50,000 years using current rocket science.”
60. _________________________________ Humans are advised to abandon Earth mainly because _____.
A. aliens will take up our home planet soon
B. many disasters will happen on the Earth
C. resources will be used up in the future
D. humans need larger space to live in
61. ___________________________________ T hinking about the future of humans, Hawking feels that _____.
A. humans will probably become extinct
B. aliens are the biggest future threat to humans
C. other planets are ready for humans to reach
D. the earth will not be habitable for humans
62. What is the writer's key point in the last paragraph?
A. It is impossible to get to another planet in space.
B. The present means of transport are not advanced at all.
C. The near future can't see human's move to another planet.
D. The planet Proxima Centauri is the closest to the earth.
63. __________________________ T his passage is most probably taken from _____
A. a conference interview
B. a science fiction
C. a forum report
D. a history book

During the fall months at high school guidance counseling programs, juniors run to the stage to participate in an exercise to help them understand that it is not “where you go” that matters. They hold posters with the names and faces of famous people while their peers (同龄人) and parents shout out with confidence the names of elite (精英) colleges they assume the celebrities attended. The “oohs” and “aahs” follow when they learn that Steven Spielberg, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates dropped out of college, that Oprah Winfrey is a graduate of Tennessee State and that Ken Burns graduated from Hampshire College. If even a few stressed students and their anxious parents benefit from this information, it is a worthwhile exercise.
Even better is giving the students a task to identify the happy, successful people in their own circle of family, friends, co-workers and neighbors and challenging them to go and ask “if or where they went to college” as a means of broadening the conversation in their search for a life after high school.
The key to success in college and beyond has more to do with what students do with their time during college than where they choose to attend. A long-term study of 6,335 college graduates published by the National
Bureau of Economic Research found that graduating from a college where entering students have higher SAT scores -- one marker of elite colleges --- didn’t pay off in highe r post-graduation income. Researchers found that students who applied to several elite schools but didn’t attend them --- either because of rejection or by their own choice --- are more likely to earn high incomes later than students who actually attended elite schools.
In a summary of the findings, the bureau says that “evidently, students’ motivation, ambition and desire to learn have a much stronger effect on their future success than average academic ability of their classmates.”
The late author Loren Pope, who wroteLooking Beyond the Ivy League andColleges That Change Lives, noted that the greater the opportunity for engagement and critical, creative and cooperative learning with staff, peers and community, the more likely the chance for future success.
59. The purpose of the guidance counseling programs is to help students _________.
A. apply for suitable colleges
B. learn about college life
C. choose the most famous colleges
D. know about famous graduates
60. Ken Burns’ example shows that th e successful people _________.
A. don’t need support from their friends
B. have their own circle of family
C. don’t necessarily graduate from a famous college
D. graduate from a famous college
61. What contributes most to students’ succ ess in college and after graduation is _________.
A. whether they enter the elite college or not
B. whether they have spared no effort in college or not
C. whether they possess a higher SAT scores or not
D. whether they have famous schoolmates or not
62. According to Loren Pope, future success depends more on _________.
A. staff, peers and community
B. motivation, ambition and desire to succeed
C. average academic ability of the classmates
D. creation, cooperation and opportunity
