2020届高考英语二轮复习题型精准练2 -阅读理解(推理判断题)1、Money with no strings attached. It's not something you see every day. But at Union Station in Los Angeles last month, a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read, “Give What You Can,Take What You Need. ”
People quickly caught on. And while many took dollars, many others pinned their own cash
to the board. “People of all ages, races, and socioeconomic (社会经济的)backgrounds gave and took,”said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox, which created the project. “We even had a bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars. ”Most of the bills on the board were singles, but a few people left fives, tens and even twenties. The video clip (片段)shows one man who had found a $ 20 bill pinning it to the board.
“What I can say for the folks that gave the most,is that they were full of smiles,”Bridges said. “There’s a certain feeling that giving can do for you and that was apparent in those that gave the most. ”Most people who took dollars took only a few, but Bridges said a very small number took as much as they could.
While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign. Bridges said the only goal was to show generosity and sympathy. He added that he hopes people in other cities might try similar projects and post their own videos on the Internet.
“After all,everyone has bad days and good days,”he said “Some days you need a helping hand and some days you can be the one giving the helping hand. ”

2、Changing of the Guard Tours and Tickets
The Changing of the Guard is a centuries-old tradition that marks the official shift change of the Household Regiment一the Queen's guards stationed at Buckingham Palace. As one of the world's most famous ceremonies and a top London experience, this ceremony gives visitors the chance to see the grandeur (壮观)of a royal march.

3、Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.
A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or added—the symbols to get the reward.
Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with
seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.
After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.
When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估)a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分)of the smaller number to it.
"This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains, "Dr. Livingstone says. “But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one.”

4、Juana, who came to America from Guatemala, used to take the bus to and from cleaning jobs. Walking to the bus stop after a long day at work was exhausting, especially when it rained, as it occasionally does in Los Angeles. Now Juana drives everywhere. She had two aspirations:to learn English and to get a car. She has accomplished both.
Although Los Angeles has organized itself around the car since the Second World War,it has tried harder than many other American cities to change this. However,public-transport users are dwindling(逐渐减少的). In the past five years the number of trips taken in metropolitan Los Angeles has dropped by 19%.
The American Public Transportation Association's figures show that the number of journeys in the country as a whole has fallen in each of the past three years. In 2016-2017 every kind of mass public transport became less busy. New Yorkers took 2. 8% fewer weekday trips on public transport. In 2018 the number of Tube journeys fell by 1. 4%. That was despite annual population growth in London of about 1% and a 3. 3% rise in employment in the past year. The Paris Metro carried only as many passengers in 2017 as it did in 2012. In Berlin,public transport journeys are growing about half as quickly as employment. Exceptions are that more and more people are taking public transport in Sydney and Tokyo.
Demand for mass public transport has weakened in so many rich-world cities at the same time. Something seems to be driving people off the public transport. But what is it?
One explanation, which is convincing in some cities. is that public transport has become worse. London and Paris have suffered terrorist attacks. New York's subway is creaking (嘎吱作响的)一a consequence of prolonged underinvestment in repairs. Elsewhere, bad weather or road works are said to prevent people from taking buses.
1. Los Angeles is a city .
A. whose government would like citizens to take public transport
B. where many immigrants like Juana have achieved their dreams
C. where everyone like Juana prefers to drive private cars
D. where more and more people turn to public transport
2. In Paragraph 3 the data show us public transport .
A. has declined in all the mentioned cities
B. has declined in most cities in America from 2016 to 2018
C. became busier in each city
D. has attracted more and more users
3. What is the main reason for people not taking public transport?
A. Public transport is unsafe.
B. Taking public transport is a waste of time.
C. Public transport disappoints people in many ways.
D. Public transport is noisy, making people uncomfortable
4. Why does the author mention Juana in Paragraph 1?
A. To tell us she has achieved her dreams.

5、The Australian beach town Byron Bay has a traffic problem, especially during holidays, when local streets are full of cars. But now it's changed. The world's first fully solar-powered train runs on a repaired train line that was out of use for more than a decade.
The solar systems on the roof of the train send power to a set of batteries that replace one engine;the other engine is still in place and can provide backup power in an emergency. As the train brakes(刹车),it generates more electricity, like a hybrid car. At a train station, the train can be plugged in to pull more power from solar systems on the platform roof. If there's a long period without sun—somewhat unlikely in this part of the world—the train can also be plugged in to get renewable energy from the local electricity supply.
“The large solar systems on the platform roof coupled with the solar systems on the train roof produce more solar energy per day than is required to operate an hourly return service,”says Holmes,Development Director of the nonprofit Byron Bay Railroad Company,which runs the train. With one full charge,the train can make 12 to 15 trips.
Volunteers fully restored the train to its old condition to attract more passengers, which should take more cars off city streets of the beach town. The train can hold 100 seated passengers, with room for more to stand, and also has a luggage room for bikes and surfboards. A ride costs a little more than S 2.
The nonprofits think it's a model that could be replicated (复制)elsewhere. "Our service has no government support or funding at all, but for this to be replicated or improved upon, the key is for government to work with enterprises on the program, " Holmes says. "Our service provides an example of how the sun's energy can be used for sustainable transport solutions. "
1. Why is the solar train brought into use in Byron Bay?
A. To reduce traffic jams.
B. To attract visitors.
C. To fight pollution.
D. To use solar energy.
2. Where does the train get energy on sunless days?
A. From its engines.
B. From a hybrid car.
C. From the platform roof.
D. From the local electricity supply.
3. How does Holmes feel about solar energy equipment?
A. It is labor-saving.
B. It is easily operated.
C. It is time-consuming.
D. It is power guaranteed.
4. What can be inferred about the solar-powered train from the last paragraph?
A. It could be of little use in solving energy problems.
B. More scientific research should be done about it.
C. It may be popularized in the future.
D. Financial support from the government is badly needed.
6、Imagining a clean,green future
Fifteen years ago,the tiny Indian state of Sikkim carried out an experiment to phase out pesticides on every farm in the states a move without precedent in India — and probably the world.
The change was especially significant for India, where progress in agriculture was defined by the introduction of fertilizers and pesticides. But with the use of pesticides at will came an increase in cancer rates in industrial farming areas. Rivers became polluted and soil infertile. Sikkim's leaders say they were driven to go all-organic by those concerns and because pesticide residue(残余) including from some chemicals banned in other countries 一was polluting fish,vegetables and rice.
In the years since the shift to organic. Sikkim has outlawed pesticides and chemical fertilizers,aided farmers in certifying about 190,000 acres of farmland as organic and on April 1 banned the import of many nonorganic vegetables from other states. The transition has not always been easy:some farmers have complained that their crop yields have decreased and that they haven’t gotten enough support from the government.
Demand for organic food is high in India and growing fast. Concern about pesticides and desire for chemical-free food are fueling a market that is growing 25 percent a year,more than 16 percent globally,according to a recent study by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India, The country's market for packaged organic products is nearly $ 8 million now and is expected to top $ 12 million by 2020, the study said.
So far Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has accepted Sikkim and organic farming throughout India, pouring about $ 119 million into supporting organic farmers nationwide. "The approach Sikkim has started will be adopted by the whole world tomorrow.” Sikkim’s chief minister, Pawan Kumar Chamling said, “This is our vision!”

7、Do you have imagination? Do you like to solve problems? If so, you could be the next great inventor. “But I’m just a kid,” you might say! Don’t worry about little things like age. For example,one famous inventor —Benjamin Franklin—got his start when he was only 12. At that young age,he created paddles to help him swim faster. Finally his creation led to what we know is called flippers!
So you don't have to be an adult to be an inventor. One thing you do need, though, is something that kids have plenty of:curiosity and imagination. Kids are known for looking at things in new and unique ways.
So what should you do if you have a great idea for an invention? Talk to a friend or family member about it. Get input from others about your idea. Then ask them to help you create a working model—called a prototype(原型)一of your idea.
Once you have a prototype, you can test it. Sometimes your idea turns out to be not as great as you thought. At other times,though, you realize it is a good idea and your prototype can help you figure out how to make it even better.
If your idea is really a good one,an adult can help you contact companies that might be interested in it. You will also want an adult’s help to get a patent(专利权)for your idea, so that it is protected and can’t be stolen by someone else. If you need some inspiration, consider these kids and their inventions.
Jeanie Low invented the Kiddie Stool when she was just 11. It's a folding stool that fits under the kitchen sink. Kids can unfold it and use it to reach the sink all by themselves.
At the age of 15,Louis Braille invented the system named after him that allows the blind to read.
Chelsea Lanmon received a patent when she was just 8 for the “Pocket Diaper”,a new type of diaper that includes a pocket for holding baby wipes and powder.
