2016广西蒙山县高考英语阅读理解二轮专练（2）科普知识（阅读理解）由 (2012安徽“江南十校”高三仿真卷一)改编Airtight plastic bags can help farmers protect their harvests without the use of harmful chemicals.These bags are designed to keep air out of crops in storage.They are a simple way to fight insects and keep food fresh.Ten countries in West and Central Africa are involved in a project to improve the storage of cowpeas,also known as black-eyed peas.Farmers can lose much of the harvest to insects called bruchids.These grow from egg to adult in a few weeks and then lay forty to sixty more eggs.They can destroy the whole harvest within months.Farmers can sell their crop immediately.But selling at harvest time means more competition and lower prices.Or they can use pesticides (杀虫剂) to kill the bugs.But crop scientist Dieudonne Baributsa says,“They end up misusing or overusing the pesticide.In Nigeria,they have reported a lot of cases of death.They usually call it in Nigeria ‘killer bean’.”Mr.Baributsa is a researcher at Purdue University in the American state of Indiana.The project is called PICS,for Purdue Improved Cowpea Storage.He says the storage bags are thick enough that any insects already in the cowpeas will die from lack of oxygen.The lack of air will also help prevent the growth of bacteria that can ruin the harvest.The bags cost about two dollars each.Mr.Baributsa says that is not much,especially if it means farmers can wait long enough to get a better price for their crop.The bags are produced locally.Donors currently support the project,but the groups involved are working to build a lasting market for the bags because donor support for the project will not last forever.A company based in the United States called GrainPro makes another kind of airtight bag.These are c alled SuperGrainbags.Phil Villers,the company’s president,says safely storing a harvest not only earns more money for farmers,it also reduces the amount of food lost to insects,spoilage and mishandling.“What does not get wasted and eaten means it is availa ble to feed a hungry world,”said Phil Villers.1.What’s the best title for this passage?()A.Simple Bags Save the HarvestB.Plastic Bags: the Enemy of InsectsC.Good News for Hungry WorldD.Pesticides Threaten Food Safety2.It can be inferred that bruchids .A.steal the stored crop for the futureB.breed slowly in the stored harvestC.survive in airtight plastic bagsD.multiply while the crop is in storage3.How does “killer bean” come out? ()A.The pesticide causes many deaths of bugs.B.People eat beans that are infected by bugs.C.Farmers use chemicals to kill bugs improperly.D.Bugs ruin beans within a short time.4.Which statement of the following is NOT true? ( )A.Insects in the bags will soon use up the air and then die.B.The airtight plastic bags currently sold at the market do not last long.C.The project provides the farmers with the bags for free at present.D.What farmers can earn from the use of the bag is far more than they have to pay.语篇解读:虫害一直是农民的心头大患,这不仅危害农作物的生长,还浪费了许多粮食。

语鹅市安置阳光实验学校黑龙江2016高考英语（二轮）阅读理解练习（2）【2014高考英语质测试题】Ever get that feeling you're being watched? Well, if you're a dog-owner, you may have a point. Dogs are able to watch people's interactions with one another to determine who holds yummier treats, according to a new study. This study joins others that show dogs are good observers of human behaviors and feelings. It offers evidence dogs use information not only from people's direct interactions with them, but also their interactions with one another.In the study, dogs watched a man ask two women for some of their corns. Both women gave the man corns when he asked, but in response to one woman, the man showed his enthusiasm and said the corns were so delicious. In response to the other woman, he gave the corns back and called them gross (in Spanish; the study was conducted in Argentina). After these interactions, the man left and an assistant holding the dog let the dog go. While many dogs didn't approach either woman, the dogs that did have a preference tended to prefer the woman with the yummier food.Other studies of dogs' people-watching ability have found dogs are able to tell thedifference between happy and sad faces in their owners. They prefer people who give others food when asked over people who don't give others food. And in one study, dogs turned toward crying people more often than toward talking people.So how much do dogs really understand about the humans around them? That's not totally settled yet. In a strange twist to the Argentine study above, when the researchers tried an experiment in which they put two plates of corns on a table and had a man react to each plate, dogs didn't preferentially approach the tastier plate afterward. You could say dogs watch for the interaction between two people, not just how a person reacts. Yet a previous study found dogs will choose boxes that people reacted to happily, but not boxes people reacted to with a disgusted face.Well, either way, you can be sure Fluffs is keeping an eye on you, to the best of her ability. The study was published in the journal PLOS One.41. What does the study mentioned in Paragraph l show?A. Dogs prefer yummier foods.B. Dogs like to copy human's behavior.C. Dogs can interact with humans easily.D. Dogs can read human actions and feelings.42. What does the underlined word "gross" probably mean?A. Disgusting.B. Healthy.C. Yummy.D. Hot.43. Which is one of the procedures of the Argentine study?A. One of the women didn't give the food to the man.B. The man had different reactions to the food received.C. The assistant accompanied the dogs to get the food.D. Many dogs went to one of the women.44. What can be concluded from Paragraph 4?A. Interactions between two people confuse dogs.B. Dogs never understand the reaction of one person.C. Dogs have good interactions with one another.D. The findings of some studies are controversial.45. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Man's Best Friend.B. Be Kind To Your DogC. Dog's Amazing AbilityD. Dogs Are Observing You【参考答案】DABDD【2014高考英语六校联考】A阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

2016广西蒙山县高考英语阅读理解二轮专练（3）由 (2013四川宜宾高三一诊)改编More than a third of the babies born this year could receive a 100th birthday message from whoever happens to be on the throne in the second decade of the 22nd century,according to figures published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).It forecasts that 35% of the 826,000 people born in 2012 will live to become centenarians.But a long life is not unalloyed good news.David Sinclair,head of policy and research at the International Longevity Centre UK,warned that for many the future may mean social isolation(隔离)as they live longer than friends and members of their families.“It is of course good news that so many more people are living longer,”he said,“but there is a big problem.We will be older,but in worse h ealth,and at high risk of living alone.The other problem is that we are very poor at forward planning.We deal with the problems that are under our noses,but even problems two or three years away seem quite distant enough to put off.When you’re talking abou t forecasts for a time half a century away and more,I see no evidence that we are putting in place the measures to deal with it.”This year there will be 14,500 centenarians in the UK,a number which is expected to increase to 110,000 in 2035.Women have higher life expectancies than men at every age:the likelihood of a girl born this year reaching her century is estimated to be 39%;for boys the figure is 32%.The estimated number of female centenarians has risen from 500 in 1961 to more than 10,000 in 2010,a figure which is projected to reach 71,000 by 2035 and 276,000 by 2060.Men are also living far longer,although their numbers are far fewer.There was an estimated of 92 male centenarians in 1961 and just below 2,000 in 2010.1.The underlined word “centenarians” probably means people who.A.are born this yearB.live longer than their friendsC.are in poor healthD.are a hundred or more years old2.From what David Sinclair said, we can learn .A.he doesn’t believe so many people are living longerB.the older we are, the more likely we are to live alone and in poor healthC.the people who are good at forward planning are likely to live longerD.too distant planning is not always necessary for most of us3.Which of the following statements is true?( )A.About 289,100 people born in 2012 will live to 100.B.More men will reach their century than women in the future.C.The number of the female centenarians was 1,000 in 1970s.D.More than 600 people reached their century in 1961.4.What does this passage mainly talk about?( )A.A long life is not always good news.B.A long life also means social and physical isolation.C.In the future, more people will live to 100 in the UK.D.It is good to live to 100.语篇解读:在英国,越来越多的人会活到100岁,但是那些老寿星们将面临年老体弱、孤独等问题。
