2016高考英语二轮阅读理解练习及答案
2016高考英语二轮阅读理解练习(1)及答案2016高考英语阅读理解--日常生活类Papa’s Straw HatPapa was a ranger. He worked with horses. He always wore clean clothes with a hat even when he worked. His hat was always the same kind of a cowboy hat- large black hat of heavy wool. He wore his hat full and high. I think he wanted to look taller than he really was.Mama was proud of the way he looked when he wore his hat and his best clothes. But in some way she got the idea that papa would lose his hair if he kept wearing a heavy wool cowboy hat in the hot weather. She began to talk about his hats.“Papa,” she said one day, “why don't you get a nice cool straw hat? That heavy wool cowboy hat may cause losing hair!” Papa laughed at her and explained that the horses wouldn’t recognize him if he changed the hat. But she didn’t believe him.Mama talked and talked about the hat all summer long. At last papa answered, a little angry, “It would not the cowboy hat but a wife’s talking about the hat that makes me lose my hair.”Mama had a very serious look on her face. She went straight out and later came home with a straw hat. It was a bad year for ranger and we didn't have much money. She thought that if she spent the money for a straw hat, papa would wear it. When papa saw the hat, his face got red. Without a word, he pulled the straw hat down over his head until it hid his eyes and went on to train the horses.He was a good ranger and gentle to his horses. But as papa got close to the horses this time, they jumped high into the air, raising their front feet. All of them ran around in the rounded field and then raced toward the barn. Papa began to shout “Woo boys. Steady boys, steady.” But there was nothing equal to.Papa walked back straight to the stove in the kitchen, pushed the straw hat deep downinto the fire then turned to mama, in a way that even frightened me. “Now listen to me, mama. Understand this I will never wear a straw hat or any other kind of hat my horses do not like.” Then he put on his wool cowboy hat and walked out of the house.I never heard mama talk any more about hats. Perhaps, that is why when papa died many years later, there was a round spot on the top of his head where there was no hair.【小题1】According to the passage, a ranger is _______.A.a person wearing a woolen hatB.a position requiring clean clothesC.a person training horses for some purposeD.a person riding a carriage with horses【小题2】Mama bought papa a straw hat because _______.A.most cowboys preferred to wear itB.she was worried about his healthC.a woolen one didn’t suit papaD.it was cheap and she could save money【小题3】What quality can we learn from papa?A.Gentle. B.Patient. C.Committed. D.Modest.【小题4】It can be learned from the story that _______.A.this family were not rich but diligentB.papa didn’t love the straw hat and mamaC.protecting hair was very importantD.a cowboy hat was useful on farming阅读理解。

【2016高考训练】Thirteen can be a challenging age. Not only did I have to adapt to my changing body, I also had to deal with my parents’ bitter divorce, a new family and the upsetting move from my country home to a crowded town.When we moved, my beloved companion, a small brown pony had to be sold. I was heartbroken and terribly lonely. I couldn’t eat or sleep and cried all the time. Finally, realizing how much I missed my pony, my father bought me another horse, Cowboy.Cowboy was without doubt the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn’t care. I loved him beyond all reasons.I joined a riding club. When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse was judged by appearance, we were quickly ”shown the gate”. I knew nothing could turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance to compete would be in the timed speed events. I chose the jumping race.For the whole next month we practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home, totally exhausted.All of our hard work didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came. One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. I sat at the gate and sweated all out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the court and finish in first place.My turn finally came. At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped over it without trouble and raced on to the next one. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line.No cheers filled the air. The end of our run was met with surprised silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds.I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds, I’d always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough towork for it. I can be the owner of my fate.1. Why did the author like Cowboy so much in spite of its ugliness?A. Because she loved horses more than anything else.B. Because Cowboy was a strong and smart young horse.C.

After the competition, the author came to realize that _______.A. she ought to gather the courage to solve all the problemsB. it was time to forget her pony and treat Cowboy betterC. she needed to work harder to win more blue ribbonsD. she could be the god of her own fate if she tried hard enough4.

2014高考训练题With 10, 600 bicycles in circulation,Paris cityofficials are hoping the program will provide peoplewith more environmentally friendly transportation.It seems both Parisians and tourists are takingadvantage of the program.Since its launch a little over two weeks ago,Vélib has already seen almost half a million rentals.And,with the addition of 10,000 more bikes and 700 more stations in the next 12 months,city officials expect at least 200,000 regular users by year end.Parisian Olivier Bioret has already gone for a spin on one of Vélib’s vehicles and plans to make use of them more often.“It’s a real pleasure—when,like me,you don’t have space enough in your flat to have yourown bike—to be able to discover.to cross Paris and not have to take the subway,”he said.As a socialist and longtime green activist,Mayor Bertrand Delanoe regards Vélib as just a part of his plan to reduce car traffic and,thus,lower pollution by 2020. Apart from its environmental benefits,Vélib is also being praised as a way of collecting money for the city,for all the money from rentals goes to the city government.Paris is not alone in its attempt to profit from the power of the bicycles. Across the globe,cities such as Barcelona,which stated its bike-share program in March with 1,500 vehicles and 100 stations,and New York,which launched a five-day trial program lastmonth,are using bicycles as a way to cut back on both traffic and pollution.However,it remains to be seen whether people’s acceptance of these programs is simply apassing fashion or whether this movement has the power to take root and transform the face of public transportation around the world.56.The real purpose of Vélib is________.A.to help people save money and spaceB.to make some money for the city governmentC.to provide convenience to both Parisians and touristsD.to reduce traffic and pollution in the city57.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.There will be 700 stations in one year’s time.B.There will be over 20, 000 bikes in use in a year.C.In the first two weeks there were nearly a million rentals.D.There will be 200, 000 regular rentals each day by year end.58.We can know from the passage that_________.A.other cities also have such programsB.Parisians can use the bicycles free of chargeC.Paris sets an example to many other citiesD.Paris is the first city to start such a program59.As to the future of the program,the author is_________.A.critical B.optimistic C.uncertainD.negative【参考答案】56. D 57. B 58. A 59. C2014高考训练题A carefree summer vacation can be yours with these easy tips.1.Fly into Alternate AirportsMost major destinations are served by more than one airport.Flying into a less popular one can result in cheaper tickets.Another added perk of quieter airports? Shorter check-in and securitylines,and less waiting around.2.Use Public Transportation for City Travel to Save Time and MoneyWhen possible,take public transportation from the airport to your hotel.For example,theLondon-Heathrow express train takes just 15 minutes to get from airport to city and costs under 20pounds.By contrast,“A taxi costs about 70 pounds and takes 40 minutes,"reports DiScala.3.Eat Smart,Explore…and SaveLook for ways to take your order in pricey restaurants and you can avoid “Are we about to run out of money?”“Don’t order an appetizer.Don’t drink a lot of booze,” says DiScala.Also,cover more ground by spreading out your snack places.“Have dessert at a café or icecream stand, instead of at the dinner restaurant,” suggests DiScala.You’ll see more of the city anddecisions about where to go for dinner will be less worrying.4.Hit the MarketMuch like reading the local newspaper,visiting a market gives context to a foreign country.Even the smallest villages tend to have a weekly open-air market(often on Saturday mornings) , while in larger towns and cities,expect additional market days,as well as big supermarkets.Markets also sell amazing,wallet-friendly souvenirs.Think about sea salt,local spices orsauces,and regional oils and vinegars. Eatable gifts are almost always appreciated,saving you the stress of finding the“perfect”gift for each person on your list.60.The passage aims to tell the readers how to________.A.take a plane without waiting for longB.spend your holidays abroad economicallyC.eat in a pricey restaurant at the smallest expenseD.save money to buy eatable gifts in a foreign market61.What does the underlined word“perk” in Line 4 mean?A.Special benefit. B.Strict standard.C.Common scene. D.Extra trouble.62.Which of the following will best help you save time and money?A. Choosing a bigger airport. B .Visiting local markets.C.Having dinner at the hotel. D.Taking an express train.63.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Having coffee at a cafe will cost more money.B.Souvenirs bought at local markets are expensive.C.You will run out of your money if you eat out.D.Markets help you understand your tourist destination.【参考答案】60.

By using a new technology, it speaks to you as you prepare a French dish. The kitchen breaks new ground by taking language learning out of the classroom and linking it with an enjoyable and rewarding real-life activity.The new kitchen is designed to be used in schools, unive rsities and even people’s homes. It could also be an existing kitchen. The first version of the technology was tested in the kitchens of project partner Newcastle University. The kitchen could be available for schools and universities, and for the UK market by the June of 2014. The Newcastle University team is now working on ways to put it on the market. And the European Union has given money to begin programs in six other languages, including English Italian and Spanish. Finally, versions could be developed for any language cuisine(烹饪法)in the world.Professor Paul sa ys, “By international standards, the UK students are now poor when it comes to learning languages—a problem that certainly has an economic influence. We believe that developing skills in a count ry’s language and its cuisine will help change the trend.”On a computer fixed into the kitchen, the user first selects the French recipe(菜谱)they want to follow. Digital sensors built into dishes, containers and other equipment then communicate with the computer to make sure the right instructions are given at the right time, the user can ask the computer to repeat an instruction, or translate it into English, simply by pressing the touch screen. After cooking, the user can test what they have learned by carrying out a short test on the computer. All grammar and vocabulary has been carefully selected to make sure that using the kitchen adds to basic proficiency(熟练)in understanding French.Now three easy-carrying versions of the kitchen are being prepared. Th ey’re to be fixed in Newcastle University and at Institute Francais, a London-based charity devoted to teaching the French language.57. The new kitchen is designed mainly to __________.A. increase people’s interest in cookingB. teach people how to cook French dishesC. offer people a new way to learn languagesD. help cooks learn spoken French in the kitchen58. Which of the following is TRUE about the kitchen?A. It has versions in six languages now.B. It is already available for sale in the UK.C. It has received strong support from the EU.D. It can be used only in schools and university.59. When a person is using the kitchen, ___________.A. it will give him a test on his cooking skillsB. it can translate French into another languageC. the cooking process will stop if he goes wrongD. he must be careful so as not to make mistakes60. What would be the best title for the text?A. UK students have problems in language learning.B. New technology helps students learning cooking.C. An enjoyable and rewarding real-life activity.D.

Our body clock,or natural body rhythm,influences our energy and alertness.Paying attention to it can help us choose the suitable time of day when we best perform specific tasks.The reality,however,is that most of us organize their time around work demands,school deadlines,commuting or social events.Doing whatever your body feels like doing is a luxury in today's fast-paced modem society.But that doesn't mean it isn't worth trying.Obeying our body clock has significant health benefits.Disrupting our natural body rhythm,on the other hand,has been linked to problems such as depression,obesity,or headache,says Steve Key,a biology professor.When the body clock can synchronize(使……同步)the rhythms of its natural processes,it “gives us an advantage in daily life”,says Key.According to him,when it comes to cognitive(认知的)work,most adults perform best in the late morning.As our body temperature starts to rise just before awakening in the morning and continues to increase until midday,our memory,alertness and concentration gradually improve.However,he adds,our ability to concentrate typically starts to decrease soon thereafter.Most of us are more easily distracted(分心)between noon and 4 pm.Alertness also tends to fall after eating a meal and sleepiness tends to peak around 2 pm,making that a good time for a nap.Surprisingly, tiredness may increase our creative powers.For most adults,problems that require open ended thinking are often best dealt with in the evening when they are tired, according to a study in the journal Thinking & Reasoning.When choosing a time of day to exercise,paying attention to your body clock can improve results.Physical performance is usually best from about 3 to 6 pm,says Michael Smolensky,a professor of biomedical engineering.Of course, not everyone's body clock is the same,making it even harder to synchronize natural rhythms with daily plans.1.If we know our natural body rhythm well, we can .A.find out the suitable time to do specific tasksB.organize our time around work demandsC.do whatever our body feels like doingD.be sure to be healthy2.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Our alertness is influenced by our natural body rhythmB.Doing whatever your body feels like is very difficult in our modem society.C.Obeying our body clock is good for our health.D.Disrupting our natural body rhythm can lead to obesity.3.According to Steve Key,which of the following is NOT true?A.When our body clock synchronizes the rhythms of its natural processes,we can do better.B.When it comes to cognitive(认知的)work,most people perform best in the late morning.C.As body temperature rises before awakening in the morning,our concentration gradually improves.D.We concentrate better in the late morning than between noon and 4 pm.4.Inspiration(灵感)to solve a difficult problem will most probably come to us .A.when we get up in the morningB.when we are tired in the eveningC.when we are full of energy in the late morningD.when we are asleep at night5.Which of the following can be the suitable title for the passage?A.What is natural body rhythm?B.Natural body rhythm is good for us.C.Something about natural body rhythm.D.The latest research about natural body rhythm.【参考答案】1---5 ADBBC阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

From good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely. Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human friends sometimes may bore us, but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement. One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way; no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train to transport us; no passport to enter the land of our heart's desire.Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. We can climb lofty mountains, brave the perils of an Antarctic winter, or cross the scorching sands of the desert, all without hardship. In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood; we may mingle with the gay throngs of the Paris boulevards; we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Seaisland. Indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.16. Why is it that we sometimes forget our surroundings and even our identity while reading?A. No one has come to disturb you.B. Everything is so quiet and calm around you.C. The book you are reading is so interesting and attractive.D. Your book is overdue; you are finishing it at a very fast speed.17. How would you account for the fact that people like their acquaintances in books even more?A. They resemble human friends exactly.B. They are unfamiliar types we like.C. They never desert us.D. They never hurt our feelings.18. Which of the following is true?A. Your wish to visit some far-off place can be realized through the pages of the books.B. To escape from the dull realities of everyday life you should take up reading.C. Books can always help you to live a colourful life.D. You may obtain valuable experience from reading good books.19. The word “weary” means ______.A. “to attract someone’s attention”B. “to distract someone’s attention”C. “to make someone very tired”D. “to make someone interested”20. “... the whole world is ours for the asking” implies that ____________.A. in books the world is more accessible to usB. we can ask to go anywhere in the worldC. we can make a claim to everything in this worldD. we can make a round-the-world trip free of charge(D)本书主要讲读好书的益处。

Friends play an important part in our lives,and althoughwe may take the friendship for granted,we often don’t clearlyunderstand how we make friends.While we get on well with anumber of people,we are usually friends with only a few.Forexample,the average among students is about 6 per person.In all the cases of friendly relationships,two people like one another and enjoy being together,but beyond that,the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their shared interests vary greatly.As we get to know people,we take into account things like age,race,economic conditions,social position,and intelligence.Although these factors are not of great importance,it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion,but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs,the same opinions and interests.They often talk about “being_on_the_same_wavelength”.It generally takes time to reach this point.And the more intimately involved people become,the more they depend on one another.People who want to be friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to stand differences.In contrast with marriage,there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen it between two people.But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and feelings does seem to create a powerful bond,which can overcome differences in background,and break down barriers of age,class or race.1.According to the passage,________.A.friends are those who must share their interestsB.friends are closer than people who just get on well with each otherC.all the people know how to make friendsD.every student has six friends2.We can learn from the passage that________.A.there are no special ceremonies to strengthen friendshipB.friendship can overcome all differences between two peopleC.difference in opinion can lead to friendshipD.friendship can be strengthened by smiles and soft voices3.The underlined words “being on the same wavelength” in Paragraph 2 mean that people________.A.watch the same TV programsB.are the same in all waysC.have the same backgroundD.share the same way of thinking and the same interests4.Which of the following is NOT implied in the passage?A.Even friends may have different opinions.B.Friends never argue with each other.C.It generally takes time for people to become close friends.D.Someone’s habits may annoy his frien ds.阅读心得:1.Mr.Fogg and his servant travelled in many different ways,even on an elephant at one time.(完形填空最后一段倒数第四句)福格先生和他的仆人以许多不同方式进行旅行,他们甚至曾骑过大象。

【2016高考训练】Many people find themselves caught up in others’ problems, and then confused about how and when to help. In fact, all relationships need limits no matter whether they are friendships, sibling relations, mates/ lovers or business relations. On some level, all limit setting means saying no. However, it is usually a qualified “no” that says what, where, when, and under what conditions you will give or not give to another person. There are three points we should keep in mind about limit setting: 1.Decide where to set the limits. Think about the entire situation. Consider your time, emotions, and means. Then consider whether you are helping the other person. Aim to do something to help the other person without taking on the whole problem.2.Express the limits clearly. For example, you say to your friend, “ I will lend you $20,000 no more than once every three months. And I expect you will pay me back within three months and certainly before you can borrow more.” You say to another friend, “you can stay here for three weeks but you must help me with expenses and cooking and make sure that you will find your own place before the three weeks is up”.3.Stick to your limits. You are not responsible for making the other person obey the limits. You are only responsible for following the limits yourself. Your friend has repaid $12,500 of his/her $20,000 and asks for $20,000 more. You say no. He/She gets emotional and then says, “I need this mon ey to cover a bad check. If you cared for our friendship, you would do it”.Limit setting is often stressful and painful because people mistakes it for rejection. And limit setting certainly brings guilt. Bear in mind, it doesn’t mean you have given up or quit loving your friend, lovers, or sibling. It does mean you are expressing that love in a different and more helpful (to both of you) manner.1. According to the passage, setting limits means___________________.A. refusing always to say yes to your friendB. saying no to your friend who turns to youC. making different kinds of friendsD. breaking away from your friend2.Once you decide to set limits, you should________________________.A. announce it publicly to othersB. tell your friend about it clearlyC. be responsible for your friendD. begin to help your friend3.We can learn from the last paragraph that limit setting______________.A. is often misunderstoodB. is actually a kind of rejectionC. does harm to your friendship D .contains both love and hate4. What would be the best title for the passage?A. About friendshipB. How to make friendsC. Set limits with friendsD. Show your love in a new way参考答案1—4、ABAC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。

Federal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergency alert(警报) system using text messages delivered to cell phones.Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industry’s trade association, CTIA, estimates(估计)more than 48 billion text messages are sent each month.The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requi res improvement to the nation’s emergency alert system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission(FCC) with coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies.“The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through c ell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies,” FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.Participation in the alert system by carriers—telecommunications companies—is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry.The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.There would be three different types of messages, according to the rules.The first would be a national alert from the president, likely involving a terrorist attack or natural disaster. The second would involve “approaching threats”, which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings.The third would be reserved for child abduction(绑架) emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts.The service could be in place by 2010.1. What is the purpose of the approved plan?A. To warn people of emergencies via messages.B. To popularize the use of cell phones.C. To estimate the monthly number of messages.D. To promote the wireless industry.2. The improvement to the present system is in the charge of .A. CTIAB. the Warning Alert and Response Network ActC. FCCD. federal regulators3. The carriers’ participation in the system is determined by.A. the US federal governmentB. mobile phone usersC. the carriers themselvesD. the law of the United States4. Which of the following is true of cell phone users?A. They must accept the alert service.B. They may enjoy the alert service for free.C. They must send the alerts to others.D.

The driver fled the scene of the accident, leaving the girl to bleed on the sidewalk. Over the next six minutes, more than a dozen people walked by the girl, yet not one individual did anything to help her. The girl was then hit a second time by another van before an elderly trash collector came to her aid and brought the attention of the girl’s mother, according to the video and eyewitnesses.Doctors said that the girl, who was put on life support after being hospitalized, remains in a deep coma. The girl’s parents, who are migrants living in the city, are now with her. Police said the drivers of both vehicles have been arrested. However, the indifference of the bystanders shown in the video has shocked the public, as Internet forums have boiled with anger, and people are questioning the morality of society.High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored by the public. But in recent years, the perception of a decline of morals has become a hot topic as profit and materialism are recognized to be affecting society’s values.On Sept. 2. an 88-year-old man in central China collapsed, his face striking the pavement. Yet, no one came to his aid, and he ended up choking to death on the blood from his nose. Some have linked the absence of good models to a previous case in which a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused of harming her.A strong chorus of opinion on the Internet says laws should exempt(免除)models from responsibility, yet laws themselves cannot solve society’s morality dilemma.Cao Lin, a China Youth Daily commentator, said in a signed article published on Monday that the worry of responsibility should not be an excuse for not helping, and this case exposes the decline of humanity in Chinese society.1. What happened to the two-year-old girl?A. Nobody helped her after she was struck by two different vans.B. She died immediately after she was hit a second time.C. An old trash collector saved her and attracted her mother’s attention.D. Journalists from TVS captured her story by using a camera.2. From the passage, what would happen if someone helped others selflessly in the past?A. The public would feel proud of him/ her and showed love and respect for him/ her.B. He/she would be awarded by the government.C. He/she would be condemned by the public.D. He/she would have to worry about legal responsibility.3 In recent years, society’s values are believed to be affected by________.A. people’s awarenessB. the indifference of bystandersC. profit and materialismD. the morals of society4. Where is the article probably taken from?A. A news report.B. A fashion magazine.C. A science fiction.D. An education column.参考答案1—4、CACA阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

2014高考训练题With 10, 600 bicycles in circulation,Paris cityofficials are hoping the program will provide peoplewith more environmentally friendly transportation.It seems both Parisians and tourists are takingadvantage of the program.Since its launch a little over two weeks ago,Vélib has already seen almost half a million rentals.And,with the addition of 10,000 more bikes and 700 more stations in the next 12 months,city officials expect at least 200,000 regular users by year end.Parisian Olivier Bioret has already gone for a spin on one of Vélib’s vehicles and plans to make use of them more often.“It’s a real pleasure—when,like me,you don’t have space enough in your flat to have yourown bike—to be able to discover.to cross Paris and not have to take the subway,”he said.As a socialist and longtime green activist,Mayor Bertrand Delanoe regards Vélib as just a part of his plan to reduce car traffic and,thus,lower pollution by 2020. Apart from its environmental benefits,Vélib is also being praised as a way of collecting money for the city,for all the money from rentals goes to the citygovernment.Paris is not alone in its attempt to profit from the power of the bicycles.

如:(2013安徽卷B篇)Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving (铺砌) a road can lead to less useable fresh water.A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.63. The text is mainly about ______.A. why paving roads reduces our waterB. how much we depend on water to liveC. why droughts occur more in dry climatesD. how human activity affects our water supply解析:文章主要介绍了由于一些不合理的人类活动,导致了水资源的短缺,呼吁大家从我做起,从小事做起来保护水资源。

It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why.First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simple answer is “You can’t”. Look around you. With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new.Another good thing about mistakes is this: When you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why?Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeed. Every time you make a mistake you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer.But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.We all have limited resources in the form of time and money, so don’t blow them all on one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate (分配) these resources appropriately so you can learn, make corrections, and try it again. Only by accepting and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough.”So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And prosper (成功).1. From the second paragraph, we can conclude that _______.A. mistakes are unnecessary for developmentB. we are afraid of trying new thingsC. it’s common for people to make mistakesD. mistakes are better than not trying2. The underlined word “eliminate” means _______.A. avoidB. removeC. acceptD. solve3. According to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is_______A. taking consequences into accountB. accepting the punishment willinglyC. avoiding making the same mistakesD. trying things out one by one4. What would the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake?A. Never mind, I can always try again.B. I’d better stay out of trouble.C. Ok! Now I can learn something.D. Look at this mess. Anyone would be upset.参考答案1—4、DACA阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

With the tears streaming down her face,she put her two hands to her lips,and kissed them to Him; then clasped(紧握着)them on her breast,as if she laid his ruined head there.“You are not the gaoler’s(监狱长)daughter ?”She sighed“No. ”“Who are you ?”Not yet trusting the tones of her voice,she sat down on the bench beside him.He drew backbut she laid her hand upon his arm.A strange thrill struck him when she did so, and visibly passedover his frame; he laid the knife down softly,as he sat staring at her.Her golden hair,which she wore in long curls,had been hurriedly pushed aside,and fell downover her neck.Advancing his hand by little and little,he took it up and looked at it.In the middleof the action he went astray,and,with another deep sigh,fell to work at his shoemaking.But lot for long.Releasing his arm,she laid her hand upon his shoulder.After looking doubtfully at it,two or three times,as if to be sure that it was really there,he laid down his work,put his hand to his neck,and took off a blackened string with a scrap of folded rag attached to it.He opened this,carefully,on his knee,and it contained a very little quantity of hair:not more thanone or two long golden hairs,which he had,in some old day,wound on upon his finger.He took her hair into his hand again,and looked closely at it.“It is the same.How can it be!When was it! How was it!”As the concentrating expression returned to his forehead,he seemed to become conscious thatit was in hers too.He turned her full to the light,and looked at her.“She had laid her head upon my shoulder,that night when I was summoned(传唤)out —shehad a fear of my going,though I had none—and when I was brought to the North Tower theyfound these upon my sleeve.‘You will leave me them? They can never help me to escape in thebody,though they may in the spirit.’Those were the words I said.I remember them very well. ”He formed this speech with his lips many times before he could utter it.But when he did findspoken words for it,they came to him coherently(连贯地),though slowly.“How was this?一Was it you? ”1.The underlined word“it” in the passage refers to“”.A.her hair B.her hand C.his arm D.his shoulder2.The passage is most probably taken from .A.a chant B.a drama C.a novel D.an essay3.From the passage,we can infer that .A.the lady was the gaoler’s friend B.the man lived a peaceful life C.they hadn’t seen each other for years D.they made a happy conversation 4.The old man took the lady’s hair into his hand again because .A.the hair reminded him of his daughterB.he found the hair of high qualityC.the lady had almost the same hair as he didD.the lady’s hair worried him so much5.The writer attracts the readers by .A.describing the changes of the relationshipB.giving a vivid description of detailsC.using funny and humorous languageD.presenting unpredictable consequence【参考答案】1—5、BCCAB阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
People who are taking aspirin regularly to thin their blood and are about to undergo coronary artery bypass surgery (冠状动脉旁路搭桥术) are usually to stop the aspirin a week before the operation – but they could be better off if they keep taking it.Taking aspirin up to the day coronary artery bypass grafting (移植) is performed seems to speed lung function recovery afterwards, without increasing the risk of bleeding significantly, according to a report from Israel.Release of a substance called thromboxane (血栓素) is associated with lung injury after heart bypass grafting, Dr Rabin Gerrah at Assuta Medical Center in Tel Aviv and his colleagues explained in the medical journal Chest. Aspirin is believed to inhibit release of thromboxane, so Gerrah’s group theorized that the administration of aspirin until the day of the surgery could improve outcomes.They therefore followed 14 patients who took 100 milligrams of aspirin daily until the day of the surgery and 18 who stopped taking aspirin at least 7 days before the surgery.Those who continued with their aspirin had significantly lower thromboxane in fluid around the heart, better oxygen levels in their blood and spent less time on a ventilator(呼吸器) than the group who discontinued taking aspirin.On the other hand, the need for blood transfusions was no different between the groups,indicating that bleeding complications were no worse with aspirin.The researchers had excluded patients who had suffered a heart attack and those with heart failure because patients like these have a higher level of thrombaxane. “They will probably benefit even more than its inhibition.”Based on their findings, Gerrah’s team recommends that aspirin therapy(治疗) not be discontinued before coronary artery bypass surgery.1. From the passage we know that_______.A. doctors usually get people who will have coronary artery bypass surgery to stop taking aspirin 7 days before the operationB. aspirin is believed to increase release of thromboxaneC. taking aspirin up to the day coronary artery bypass grafting is performed seems to slow lung function recovery afterwardsD. patients suffering a heart attack have a lower level of thromboxane2. The purpose of the passage is to introduce to us that _________.A. aspirin can make for release of thromboxaneB. aspirin is useful for patients suffering a heart attackC. different ways turn out to be the same resultD. aspirin may improve recovery after heart bypass3. According to Dr Rabin Gerrah, patients who will have heart bypass surgery should _______.A. stop taking aspirin before the surgeryB. take aspirin as much as they like until the day of the surgeryC. be allowed to take 100 milligrams of aspirin daily until the day of the surgeryD. take aspirin after the heart bypass operation4. What does the underlined word “inhibit” in paragraph 3 mean?A. to become larger or better than normalB. to make something happen more slowly than normalC. to cause to be nervous or embarrassedD. to improve something in poor condition【参考答案】1—4、ADCB2016高考模拟题。
