南通市通州区2017高考英语阅读理解一轮基础训练阅读理解训练(2015·海淀区第二学期期中)Sports are the base of my life, next to my mother who raised me when my dad left us. I have been into sports since I was six years old. I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play.When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski. I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before. I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I'd make it with no problem. That was a big mistake.Brian Pawloski is the hardestworking coach I have ever met. He didn't expect 100% effort; he expected 200% effort. One examp le: he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 layups (投篮) we missed in a game. Some think this is crazy, but it isn't. After this conditioning practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, “coach, that was the best practice I ev er had.” I was completely sincere. This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school. He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom. If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life's challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters. In the first two years I slacked_off,_not putting forth my full potential. Now, unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how he did off the court. He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted. I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life. My school is lucky to have such a great per son to teach, coach and influence their students. I will always remember my highschool basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual.文章大意：这是一篇英语传记故事阅读。

2017年高考英语完形填空真题(2)2017年高考英语完形填空真题3How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter, rude boss, or an insensitive employee 16 your day?One day I was in a taxi and we headed 17 the airport. We were driving in the 18 lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his 19 , slide sideways, and at the very last moment our car stopped and 20 the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car looked around and started 21 at us.My taxi driver just 22 and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really 23 . So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your ca r and sent us to the hospital!”This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of 24 , full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage 25 up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on 26 . Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.Believe me. You’ll be 27 . Don’t take their garbage and 28 it to other people at w ork, at home, or on the streets. Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with 29 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s 30 in your life. Roy Baumeister, a psychology researcher from Florida State University, found in his extensive research that you 31 bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories more easily, and you 32 them more frequently.So, Love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you 33 it!When you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”, you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by 34 go of the bad. Have a Garbage-Free Day! Have a marvelous, garbage-free day! The seeds you plant today 35 the harvest you reap tomorrow.16.A. enrich B.

Columbus discovered the New World？The British Museum opened in 1759？CHRONOLOGICA is a fascinating journey through time，from the foundation of Rome to the creation of the internet．Along the way are tales of kings and queens，hot air balloons…and monkeys in space．Travel through 100of the most unbelievable years in world history and learn why being a Roman Emperor wasn't always as good as it sounds，how the Hundred Years'War didn't actually last for 100years and why Spencer Perceval holds a rather unfortunate record．CHRONOLOGICA is an informative and entertaining tour into history，beautifully illustrated and full of unbelievable facts．While CHRONOLOGICA tells the stories of famous people in history such as Thomas Edison and Alexander the Great，this book also gives ab account of the lives of lesser﹣known individuals including the exploeer Mungo Park and sculptor Gutzon Borglum．This complete but brief historical collection is certain to entertain readers young and old，and guaranteed to present even the biggest history lover with somgthing new!56．What is CHRONOLOGICA according to the next？A．A biography．B．A travel guide．C．A history book．D．A science fiction．57．How does the writer recommend CHRONOLOGICA to readers？A．By giving details of its collection．B．By introducing some of its contents．C．By telling stories at the beginning．D．By comparing it with other books．58．（6分）Red﹣backed fairy wrens（鹪鹩），which live in northern and eastern Australia，lay three or four eggs at a time．Before birth，babies can tell the difference between loud sounds and voices．They can even distinguish their mother's voice from that of a female stranger．But when it comes to embryonic learning（胎教），birds could rule the roost．As recently reported in The Auk：Ornithological Adrances，some mother birds may teach their young to sing even before they hatch（孵化）．New﹣born chicks can then imitate their mom's call within a few days of enering the world．This educational method was first observed in 2012 by Sonia Kieindorfer，a biologist at Flinders University in South Australia，and her colleagues．Female Australian superb fairy wrens were found to repeat one sound over and over again while hatching their eggs，When the eggs were hatched，the baby birds made the similar chirp to their mothers﹣a sound that served as their regular"feed me!"call．To find out if the special quality was more widespread in birds，the researchers sought the red﹣backed fairy wren，another species of Australian songbird．First they collected sound data from 67 nests in four sites in Queenslang before and after hatching，Then they identified begging calls by analyzing the order and number of notes．A computer analysis blindly compared calls produced by mothers and chicks，ranking them by similarity．It turns out that baby red﹣backed fairy wrens also emerge chirping like their moms．And the more frequently mothers had called to their eggs，the more similar were the babies'begging calls．In addition，the team set up a separate experiment that suggested that the baby birds that most closely imitated their mom's voice wererewarded with the most food．This observation hints that effective embryonic learning could signal neurological（神经系统的）strengths of children to parents．An evolutionary inference can then be drawn．"As a parent，do you invest in quality children，or do you invest in children that are in need？"Kleindorfer asks．"Our results suggest that they might be going for quality．"58．The underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 means""．A．be the worst B．be the bestC．be the as bad D．be just as good59．What are Kleindorfer's findings based on？A．Similarities between the calls moms and chicks．B．The observation of fairy wrens across Australia．C．The data collected from Queensland's locals．D．Controlled experiments on wrens and other birds．60．Embryonic learning helps mother birds to identify the baby birds which．A．can receive quality signalsB．are in need of trainingC．fit the environment betterD．make the loudest call．61．（8分）A new commodity brings about a highly profitable，fast﹣growing industry，urging antitrust（反垄断）regulators to step in to check those who control its flow．A century ago，the resource in question was oil．Now similar concerns ares being raised by the giants（巨头）that deal in data，the oil of the digital age．The most valuable firms are Google，Amazon，Facebook and Microsoft．All look unstoppable．Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up．But size alone is not a crime，The giants'success has benefited consumers．Few want to live without search engines or a quick delivery，Far from charging consumers high prices，many of these services are free （users pay，in effect，by handing over yet more data）．Andthe appearance of new﹣born giants suggests that newcomers can make waves，too．But there is cause for concern．The internet has made data abundant，all﹣present and far more valuable，changing the nature of data and competition．Google initially used the data collected from users to target advertising better．But recently it has discovered that data can be turned into new services：translation and visual recognition，to be sold to other companies．Internet companies'control of data gives them enormous power．So they have a"God's eye view"of activities in their own markets and beyond．This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less useful．Breaking up firms like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking themselves：in time，one of them would become great again．A rethink is required﹣and as a new approach starts to become apparent，two ideas stand out．The first is that antitrust authorities need to move form the industrial age into the 21st century．When considering a merger（兼并），for example，they have traditionally used size to determine when to step in．They now need to take into account the extent of firms'data assets（资产）when assessing the impact of deals．The purchase price could also be a signal that an established company is buying a new﹣borm threat．When this takes place，especially when a new﹣born company has no revenue to speak of，the regulators should raise red flags．The second principle is to loosen the control that providers of on﹣line services have over data and give more to those who supply them．Companies could be forced to consumers what information they hold and how many money they make form it．Govemments could order the sharing of certain kinds of data，with users'consent．Restarting antitrust for the information age will not be easy But if govemments don't wants a data oconomy by a few giants，they must act soon．61．Why is there a call to break up giants？A．They have controlled the data market．B．They collect enormous private data．C．They no longer provide free services．D．They dismissed some new﹣born giants．62．What does the technological innovation in Paragraph 3 indicate？A．Data giants'technology is very expensive．B．Google's idea is popular among data firms．C．Data can strengthen giants'controlling position．D．Data can be turned into new services or products．63．By paying attention to firms'data assets，antitrust regulators could．A．kill a new threatB．avoid the size trapC．favour bigger firmsD．charge higher prices64．What is the purpose of loosening the giants'control of data？A．Big companies could relieve data security pressure．B．Governments could relieve their financial pressure．C．Consumers could better protect their privacy．D．Small companies could get more opportunities．65．（12分）Old Problem，New ApproachesWhile clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life，global warning will continue for some decades after CO2 emissions（排放）peak．So even if emission were to begin decrease today，we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate．Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation．When it comes to adaptation，it is important to understand that climate change is a process．We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard，but to a constantly shifting set of conditions．This is why in part at least，the US National Climate Assessment says that："there is no‘one﹣size fit all'adaptation．"Nevertheless，there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost．Around the world people are adapting in surprising ways，especially in some poorcountries，Floods have some more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades．Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster．His not﹣for﹣profit organization runs 100river boats that server as floating libraries，scbools，and health clinics，and are equipment with solar panels and other communication facilities．Rezwan is creating floating connecticity（连体）to replace flooded roads and highways．But he is also working at a far more fundamental level：his staff people how to make floating gardens fish ponds prevent atarcation during the wet season．Around the world，people are adapting in surprising ways，especially in some poor countries，Fllods have become more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades．Mobammed Rezwan saw opportunily where others saw only disaster．His not﹣for﹣profit organization runs 100river boats that serve as floating libraries，schoods，and health clinics，and are equipped with solar panels and other communicating facilities．Rezwan is creating floating conmetivity（连接）to replace flooded roads and highways．But he is also working at a far more fundamental level：his staff show people how to make floating gardens and fish ponds to prevent starvation during the wet season．Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken．Chewang Nophel lives in a mountaionous region in India，where he is known as the Ice Man．The loss of glaciers（冰川）there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture．Without the glaciers，water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops．Norphel's inspiration come from seeing the waste of water over winter，when it was not needed．He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze，and was stored until the spring．His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation（灌溉）water．Having created nine such ice reserves．Nophel calculates that he has stored about 200，000m3of water．Climate change is a continuing process，so Norhel's ice reserves will not last forever．Warming will overtake them．But he is providing a few years during which the farmers will，perhaps，be able to find other means of adapting．Increasing Earth's reflectiveness can cool the planet．In southern Spain the sudden increase of greenhouses （which reflect light back to space）has changed the warming trend locally，and actually cooled the region．While Spain as a whole is heating up quickly，temperatures near the greenhouses have decreased．This example should act as an inspiration for all cities．By painting buildings white，cities may slow down the warming process．In Peni，local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has already fallen victim to climate change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the life﹣giving ice．The outcome is still far from clear，But the World Bank has included the project on its of‘100ideas to save the planet"．More ordinary forms of adaptation are happening everywhere．A friend of mine owns an area of land in western Victoria．Over five generations the land has been too wet for cropping．But during the past decade declining rainfall has allows him to plant highly profitable crops．Farmers in many countries are also adapting like this﹣either by growing new produce，or by growing the same things differently．This is common sense，But some suggestions for adapting are not．When the polluting industries argue that we've lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt，it's a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual．Human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and astonishing ways．But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution．After all，if we adapt in the way，we may avoid the need to change in so many others．65．The underlined part in Paragraph 2 implies．A．adaptation is an ever﹣changing processB．the cost of adaptation varies with timeC．global warming affects adaptation formsD．adaptation to climate change is challenging66．What is special with regard to Rezwan's project？A．The project receives government support．B．Different organizations work with each other．C．His organization makes the best of a bad situation．D．The project connects flooded roads and highways．67．What did the Ice Man do to reduce the effect of global warming？A．Storing ice for future use．B．Protecting the glaciers from melting．C．Changing the irrigation time．D．Postponing the melting of the glaciers．68．What do we learn from the Peru example？A．White paint is usually safe for buildings．B．The global warming tread cannot be stopped．C．This country is heating up too quickly．D．Sunlight reflection may relieve global warming．69．According to the author，polluting industries should．A．adapt to carbon pollutionB．plant highly profitable cropsC．leave carbon emission aloneD．fight against carbon pollution70．What's the author's preferred solution to global warming？A．setting up a new standard．B．Readucing carbon emission．C．Adapting to climate change．D．Monitoring polluting industries．第四部分：任务型阅读（满分10分）请阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上．每个空格只填一个单词．71．（10分）Population ChangeWhy is the world's population growing？The answer is not what you might think．The reason for the explosion is not that people have been reproducing like rabbits，but that people have stopped dropping dead like flies．In 1900，people died at the average age of 30．By 2000 the average age was 65．But while increasing health was a typical feature of the 20th century，declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st．Statistics show that the average number of births per woman has fallen from 4.9in the early 1960s to 2.5 nowadays．Furthermore，around 50% of the world's population live in regions where the figure is now below the replacement level（i．e.2.1 births per woman）and almost all developed nations are experiencing sub﹣repalanement birth rate．You might think that developing nations would make up the loss（especially since80% of the world's people now live in such nations），but you'd be wrong，Declining birth rate is a major problem in many developing regions too，which might cause catastrophic global shortages of work force within a few decades．A great decline in young work force is likely to occur in China，for instance．What does it imply？First，China needs to undergo rapid economic development before a population decline hits the country．Sencond，if other factors such as technology remain constant，economic growth and material expectations will fall well below recent standards and this could invite trouble．Russia is another country with population problems that could break its economic promise．Since 1992the number of people dying has been biggen than that of those being born by a massive 50%，Indeed official figures suggest the country has shrunk by 5% since 1993 and people in Russia live a shorter life now than those in 1961．Why is this occurring？Nobody is quite sure，but poor diet an above all long ﹣time alcoholism have much to do with it．If current trends don't bend．Russia's population will be about the size of Yemen's by the year 2050．In the north of india，the population is booming due to high birth rates，but in the south，where most econmoic development is taking place，birth rate is fallingrapidly．In a further twist，birth rate is highest in poorly educated rural arceas an lowest in highly educated urban areas．In total，25% of India's working﹣age population has no education．In 2030，a sixth of the country's potential work force could be totally uneducated．One solution is obviously to import foreign workers via immigration．As for the USA，it is almost unique among developed nations in having a population that is expected to grow by 20% from 2010﹣2030，Moreover，the USA has a track record of successfully accepting immigrants．As a result it's likely to see a rise in the size of its working﹣age population and to witness strong economic growth over the longer term．71．72．73．74．75．76．77．78．79．80．．第五部分：书面表达（满分25分）81．（25分）请认真阅读下面有关我国电影票房收入（box﹣office income）的柱状图及相关文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章．Saturday Afternoon．In a Shopping Center．Li Jiang：Hi，Su Hua．Which movie

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

You know eating fruit and vegetables does good.But do you know it can also make you look good? People who increased their intake over just six weeks developed a healthy glow and appeared more attractive, researchers found.Scientists at St Andrews University found eating them slightly increased yellow and red pigments in the volunteers’ skin. They monitored the food intake of 35 people and took pictures of their faces, arms and hands using a sensitive camera at the start, and after three and six weeks. Increasing their intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day was found to make the person look more healthy and an extra 3.3 portions could enhance their attractiveness, when their photographs were rated by others.Fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids (类胡萝卜素)，which are known to protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays, and can also prevent age－related diseases including heart disease and cancer. But while it was known eating extreme amounts of certain vegetables such as carrots could turn skin orange ，it was not known a small increase was perceptible(被觉察)to others －and was seen as appealing.A camera measured chan ges to the skin’s redness, yellowness and lightness, and found it significantly changed in people who naturally increased their intake. These changes were not evident in three weeks. Using light sensors, the researchers showed these red and yellow hues were linked with the levels of carotenoids in their skin. There are hundreds of carotenoids but those thought to have the most dramatic effect are lycopene(番茄红素)，which gives tomatoes and red peppers their red colour and beta－carotene found in carrots as well as broccoli, squash, and spinach. Skin colour is also affected by chemicals called polyphenols(多元酚)，found in apples, blueberries and cherries, which cause blood rush to the skin surface.4． What do we know from the research?A． If you take in a little more fruit and vegetables, you will obviously look more attractivein three weeks.B． The researchers took the pictures of the 35 people in the research at different stages.C． Increasing your intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day can greatly improve your health.D． People who increased their intake of greens by 3.3 portions a day were found the most attractive after six weeks.2． Which of the following is NOT the function of carotenoids ?A． They can protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays.B． They can prevent heart disease and cancer.C． They can prevent age－related diseases.D． They can keep you in good health.3． Which of the statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．We’ve alr eady known eating extreme amounts of carrots can turn skin orange.B． We knew in the past that eating a few more carrots could make us look appealing.C． The research showed the improvement in skin is linked with the levels of carotenoids in it.D． Among hundreds of carotenoids, lycopene is thought to have the most dramatic effect on the skin.4． We can infer from the passage that ________A．skin’s red ness, yellowness and lightness make a person look more healthy and attractive B．carotenoids have the same effect as lycopeneC．it is carotenoids that give tomatoes and red peppers their red colourD．both beta－carotene and polyphenols affect skin colour by causing blood rush to the skin surface[解题导语] 本文主要论述了吃水果和蔬菜不仅让我们的身体健康，而且还能使人看起来更漂亮。
