北京市通州区2016届高考英语自练12阅读理解。
阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
One evening in February 2007. A student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path . That's when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio parked across a railway line. Second later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.Ceely's near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device(导航仪).She had never driven the route before .It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS. But it made no mention of the crossing. "I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train," she told the BBC.W ho is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely's story in his book When Machines Fail US, finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says,But our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it’s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of dig ital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless key boards.The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear w hy he only focuses digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes.A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the CPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say.It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Steven son gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He sa ys that once once again not all newlocks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.The game between humans and their smart devices is complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be way a wiser use of technology.If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.( ) 1 .What did Pa ula Ceely think was the cause of her accident?A. She was not familiar with the road.B. It was dark and raining heavily then.C. The railway works failed to give the signal.D. Her GPS device didn’t tell her about the crossing( ) 2. The phrase“near miss”(paragraph 2) can best be replaced b y _______.A. close bi tB. heavy lossC. narrow escapeD. big mistake( ) 3.Which of the following would Rick S tevenson most probably agree with?A. Modern technology is what we can’t live without.B. Digital technology often falls short of out expectation.C. Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.D. GPS error is not the only cause for Celery’s accident.( ) 4. In the writer’s opinion, Stevenson’s argument i s________.A. one-sidedB. reasonableC. puzzlingD. well-based( ) 5.What is the real concern of the writer of this article?A. The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.B. The relationship between humans and technologyC. The shortcomings of digital devices we use.D. The human unawareness of technical problems.【参考答案】1---5、DCBAB【2013界广东省惠州市三模】Surviving the boredom of a school day can be bad enough, but when you have to worry about school gangs as well it's enough to make any student want to stay at home and under the covers! Unfortunately, gang culture can be found in many British schools, and it brings with it negative, and dangerous, side effects. The presence of weapons at or near school, the appearance of graffiti on buildings and lockers, and pressure to blow off school work and exams all follow where the gangs lead. None of these things contribute to a good education, but for school gangs that's exactly the point - school is for being popular and having fun, not learning anything or preparing for the future. Keep these tips in mind and say goodbye to school gangs.Know your own mind. Often it is those with low self-esteem and a poor self-image who become victims of school gangs. These students don't know their own mind or have a clear picture of what they would like to do in the future, so it is easy to be influenced by those who don't want to do any work today.Keep yourself busy. School gangs often hang around at or near schools with no real reason. Students who have nothing scheduled can easily be sucked into these groups, but if you are busy, busy, busy and always on the move there will be less chance that you'll have the time to stay and "play".Choose your friends wisely. With a core group of like-minded friends, it is much easier to stay away from school gangs because you simply don't need them. Remember that gangs are a source of power for members, but they can also be a source of intimidation. Work hard and have fun. No one likes a teacher's pet, but school gangs in particular hate them. Work hard and have fun at school, but don't annoy anyone with extreme goody-two-shoes (伪君子） behaviour . School gangs can be a nightmare if you must dealwith them constantly. Stay away from gang hangouts and gang members, and don't involve yourself in any gang related activities.31. For the school gangs, school is _____.A. where they are instructed to behave themselves.B. a good place to prepare for the future.C. where they win popularity and enjoy themselves.D. a place that contributes to a good education.【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。

I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career (职业).I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification (资格证书)if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local col lege and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.56. What is the author’s present job?A. Working part-time in a college.B. Taking care of children for a family.C. Helping children with their schoolwork.D. Looking after children at a kindergarten.57. When staying with the two girls’ family, the author _________.A. was paid for extra workB. often worked long hoursC. got much help from her bossD. took a day off every other week58. Why did the author leave her first job?A. She found a full-time job.B. She was fed up with children.C. She decided to attend a part-time course.D. She needed a rest after working extra hours.59. What has the author learned from her own experiences?A. Less successful students can still have a career.B. Qualifications are necessary for a career.C. Hard work makes an excellent student.D.One must choose the job she likes.(B)Hi, everybody !Welcome to our newly-opened Richards Cinema Bookstore!Now let me introduce to you some of the new film book s in our store.Are you Chinese film fans? OK, here comes the latest 25 New Takes about Chinese films. It is a collection of 25 fresh readings of different Chinese films from the 1930s to the present. In recent years, Chinese films are very popular in the States, such as Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon, Hero, and Flowers of Shanghai.Do you like French films? Well, here is The French Cinema Book. It covers French films from the 1890s to the beginning of the 21st century. It is written for all lovers of French cinema: students and tea chers, specialists and fans, and so on.Maybe you are Indian film fans and star-chasers. Then here is Encyclopedia ( 百科全书) of Indian Cinema. The book is a complete introduction to all the best Indian films. It also offers a full list of names of the famous and successful film stars in the past ten years. You know, the Indian film industry is the largest in the world after our Hollywood.If you like British films, we have The British Cinema Book. It is a good review of British cinema. This book contains a good many nice pictures.In our bookstore, you can also find books about Mexican, Japanese, Australian, German and Italian films..Well, please help yourselves to some coffee or tea, and have a good time here!60. The speaker of the passage is most probably _______.A. the author of 25 New TakesB. a tourist in the cinema bookstoreC. the manager of the cinema bookstoreD. a reader of Encyclopedia of Indian Cinema61. How many Asian countries does the speaker refer to when he talks about the film book s?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Nine.62. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage？A. Indian cinema is second only to Hollywood.B. The British Cinema Book includes a complete list of names of stars.C. Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon is well received in the States.D. The French Cinema Book covers over a century's French films.63. The purpose of the speaker is_______.A. to satisfy the customers' various tastesB. to keep the authors in the cinema book storeC. to offer the tourists chances to meet the film starsD. to make the readers connect with film producers(C)Animals can move from place to place, but plants cannot. When an animal is under attack, it can run away or fight back.. Plants certainly cannot run away, and they lack teeth and claws. But plants can defend themselves by using both physical and chemical means.Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example, the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines (刺) that discourage grass-eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach.Some plants, such as the oak tree, have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some grasses may contain a sandy material; eating such grasses wears down the animal's teeth.Many plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar (毛虫) bites a tobacco leaf, the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. The higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar.Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China, for instance, has prickly (多刺的) leaves, and each prickle contains poisonous venom (毒液). A single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.64. The holly plant has more spines on the lower leaves because most animals________.A. are not tall enoughB. like the lower leaves onlyC. are not clever enoughD. can get the lower leaves easily65.

Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographicaldistance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon（现象）is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”（空巢综合症）.In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response（回应）in time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”. 68．According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by _________.A．their earlier experience of feeling lonelyB．the unfavorable living conditions in their native countriesC．the common worry about their incomeD．the geographical distance between parents and children69．Many young people have gone abroad, leaving their aged parents behind, to _________.A．live in the countries with more money B．seek a better place for their aged parentsC．continue their studies abroad D．realize their dreams in foreign countries70．If young people go abroad, _________.A．they do not hold to the value of duty at allB．they can give some help to their parents back homeC．they cannot do what they should for their parentsD．they believe what they actually do is right71．From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.A．the situations in the developed and developing countries are differentB．“Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our societyC．children will become independent as soon as they go abroadD．the aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”(E)When Lew Alcindor was 13, and obviously still growing, a group of schools began offering him scholarships (奖学金) . The Alcindors decided to send their only child to Power Memorial Academy, a small school on Manhattan’s West Side.At Power, Alcindor came under the control of Coach Jack Donohue, a strict young man who already gained his fame as one of the best coaches in the city. Donohue brought Alcindor along slowly. As a first-year student, the boy was not able to do much but wave his long skinny arms and shoot a basket now and then. But by the second year, when he was 15 years old and nearly 7 feet tall, Alcindor was quick and skillful enough to make the high school All-American team and to lead Power to an undefeated season.From then on he simply got better. Some rival coaches （对方教练）used to take their teams quickly away from the floor before Power warmed up so that their players would not see him anysooner than they had to. Wearing size 16D shoes and sucking a lollipop (棒棒糖), Alcindor would loosen up by starting his leaping lay-ups (擦板球). Then he would casually shoot the ball with either hand, to the delight of the fans.When reporters and photographers began to follow Alcindor closely, Donohue protected his boy firmly. He simply ordered Lew to talk to no member of the press, and this suited Lew fine. He was not comfortable talking to grown-ups, perhaps because he towered over them. Discouraged photographers began following him in secret as though he were an easily-frightened giraffe. Once after ducking into a subway to escape, Alcindor told a friend that it was all becoming like policemen and robbers. “People want you not for yourself,” Donohue warned him, “but because you’re a basket ball player. Don’t forget that.”72. Many schools offered Alcindor scholarships because_________.A．he was young B．he was hardworkingC．he was tall for his age D．he was skillful at playing basket ball73. Which of the following best describes Donohue as a young coach?A．serious, popular and slow B．tall, skillful and successfulC．kind, power ful and undefeated D．well-known, strict and experienced74. Why did some rival coaches take their teams away from the floor before Power warmed up? A．Their teams refused to play Power B．Their teams feared to see AlcindorC．Their teams would lose courage D．Their teams would lose interest75. What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?A．How Donohue protected Alcindor from the press B．How Alcindor disliked meeting reporters C．Why the press followed Alcindor closely D．Why the public wanted Alcindor badly 第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分35分）第一节：情景作文(满分20分)你于“十一”7天长假期间随家人一起到金海湖公园游玩。

An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same tome.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起）the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago, the mayor(市长）appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that th e idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致）can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energyAnd passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself. Ultinatel was Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process. or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.( ) 1. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A. To invite authors to guide readers.B. To encourage people to read and share.C. To involve p eople in community service.D. To promote the friendship between cities.( ) 2.Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?A. They had little interest in reading.B. They were too busy to read a book.C. They came from many different backgroundsD. They lacked support from the local government( ) 3. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?A. In large commu nities with little sense of unityB. In large cities where libraries are far from homeC. In medium-sized cities with a diverse populationD. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached( ) 4.The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 pro bably meanA. exchanged ideas with each otherB. discussed the meaning of a wordC. gamed life experienceD. used the same language( ) 5.According to Nacy, the degree of students of the project is judged byA.the careful selection of a proper bookB.the growing popularity of the writersC. the number of people who benefit from reading.D. the number of books that each person reads.【文章大意】文章鼓励人们互相分享阅读的想法，并享受分享阅读的过程。

北京市通州区2016届高考英语自练10【科普知识型---阅读理解】Housed in Milan, one of Europe's dirtiest cities, Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece The Last Supper still faces a threat from air pollution, researchers say, despite preventative measures that have significantly decreased pollutants in the church where the famous painting is on display.In 2009, Italian authorities installed a heating, ventilation (通风) and air-conditioning system to protect the painting from Milan's polluted air. To see whether the system could improve air quality, a team of researchers led by Constantinos Sioutas, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Southern California, placed two airqu ality monitors inside the church for a year to collect samples from around painting. Results showed the levels of fine and coarse particulates were reduced near the painting by 88 percent and 94 percent, respectively, compared with the corresponding outdoor levels. “It's a spectacular reduction，” Sioutas said in a statement. “It is, frankly, very impressive.”Although the researchers applauded the successful decrease in particulates around da Vinci's painting, they warned that indoor sources of pollution may still pose a threat to the priceless painting. Fatty lipids (油脂) from the skin of customers in the church appeared in significant quantities around the painting, despite the fact that visitors getting access to the artwork are strictly regulated.Only a few visitors are allowed inside the church at a time, and they enter the building and can stay for only 15 minutes each. However, fatty lipids from visitors' skin can combine with dust in the air and pollute the painting if they come in contact with it, says study researcher Nancy Daher of the University of Southern California. Even previous restorations of the painting may pollute its surface, Daher said. Tiny particulates of the wax applied during early repair efforts can be emitted from the painting, get into the air and tarnish (使失去光泽) the painting in the same manner as the fatty lipids.The researchers noted that their airsample analysis could be used as a point ofreference for future studies aimed at protecting valuable artwor k and artefacts. 1．What does the underlined word “particulates” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．The smallest parts of a chemical substance.B．Things dirtier than usual.C．Certain types of gas.D．Extremely small pieces of dirt, which cause serious pollution.2．According to the text, the following factors pollute the painting EXCEPT________．A．fatty lipids from the skin B．tiny particles of the waxC．breath of the visitors D．dust in the air3．According to the researchers, which of the following is NOT true of thei r airsample analysis?A. The airsample analysis was got by gathering air in the church for a year. B．The airsample analysis showed that the painting was completely away from air pollution.C．The airsample analysis can be helpful for future studies protecting valuable artwork. D．The airsample analysis showed that the particulates around da Vinci's painting were decreased successfully.4．What can be the best title of the text?A．How to decrease levels of particulates effectivelyB．The famous painting —da Vinci's The Last SupperC．Keeping air pollution from damaging da Vinci's The Last SupperD．How to protect artwork in households【要点综述】保存在意大利米兰市一家教堂的达·芬奇名画《最后的晚餐》受到空气污染的影响。

Sitting on the peaceful coast of Galapagos Islands. Ecuador, watching the sun move quietly into the sea, you shouldn't forget that Charles Darwin (1809-1882) arrived here in 1835. He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. This finally inspired (启发) his famous work, On the Origin of Species. You can certainly follow Darwin's footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands. The islands are certainly a paradise (天堂) for wildlife, as there are n o natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control. Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago, each day is as impressive as it could be. The most well-known animal of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise(巨型海龟), which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Sanra Cruz, the second largest island in the archipelago(群岛). Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself. Despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures: diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; a nd, most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air. Travelling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin, you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world. At night you will sleep on board the ship, leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time.( ) 1. What do we know about Dar win's visit to the islands?A. H e studied different creatures on the islandsB. He completed his famous book on the islandsC. He was touched by the geography of the islandsD. He was attracted by well-known animals of the islands( ) 2. Which of the following plays a role in making the islands "a paradise for wildlife"?A. Animals on the islands feed on grass.B. Local government forbids killing wildlife.C. People cannot visit the islands as they wish.D. Tourists are not allowed to touch the animals.( ) 3. Your stay on the islands will be most impressive mainly because of_________.A. The beautiful sea viewsB. Darwin's inspiring tripC. a closer view of animalsD. various daring activities( ) 4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. A Unique Attraction for Wildlife LoversB. Calapagos as a Paradise for AdventuresC. Charles Darwin as a Symbol of GalapagosD. A Successful Example of Wildlife Protection【语篇解读语篇解读】本文介绍了一个冒险家的乐园 Galapagos Islands,达尔文曾在这儿受到启发写语篇解读出了《物种起源》一书,同时,由于这儿保护得很好,直到现在依然是旅游的好去处.1. 答案 A 【解析】细节理解题.由文中的 He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals.可知达尔文在这儿观察了各种各样的动物.2. 答案 C 【解析】细节理解题.根据文中...strict control over activities and timing...可知,当地对游客的活动和参观时间都是有严格限制的,所以答案选 C 项.3. 答案 C 【解析】细节理解题.根据 your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered asa chain of incomparable pictures: diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; and, most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air.可知,在 Galapagos 岛上能与动物亲密接触.4. 答案 A 【解析】主旨大意题.这篇文章主要是向我们推荐 Galapagos Islands,因此题目要具有醒目的特点,方能达到吸引读者眼球的目的,故题目以 A 为佳.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Blind imitation (模仿)is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth. Imitation appears attractive: to those who know their strength. Imitation is unacceptable.In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out s ome tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheel s on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they d id. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others. In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done bef ore them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.Syudy your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not server. Then you can say,” I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors” tragedies and tory, and know that they are cheering on.( ) 1.Imitation proves useful when you .A. know you are uniqueB. lose the balance of lifeC. begin to learn something newD. get tired of routine practice( ) 2. To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should________.A. forget daily fear and painB. choose the right exampleC. ask others for decisionsD. stay away from stars( ) 3.Acording to the author. The world moves on because of those who are .A. desperate to intruence others with their knowledgeB. ready to turn their original ideas into realityC. eager to discover what their ancestors didD. willing to accept others’ ideas( ) 4.The trouble a creator faces is .A. the lack of strong motivationB. the absence of practical ideasC. how to search for more materialsD. how to use imagination creatively( ) 5. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To highlight the importance of creatively.B. To criticize the characters of role models.C. To compare imitation with creation.D. To explain the meaning of success.【文章大意】议论文文章讨论了要创新，不要盲目模仿。
