2016届高考高三英语二轮专题复习：阅读理解

2014届高考高三英语二轮专题复习：阅读理解AThe original plans for the park were on 8 acres next to the Burbank studios where his employees and families could go to relax. Although, World War II put those plans on hold. During the war, Disney had time to come up with new ideas, and creations for his magical park. It was soon clear that 8 acres wouldn't be enough.Finally in 1953, he had the Stanford Research Institute conduct a survey for a 100-acre site, outside of Los Angeles. He needed space to build rivers, waterfalls, and mountains; he would have flying elephants and giant teacups; a fairy-tale castle, moon rockets, and a scenic railway; all inside a magic kingdom he called "Disneyland."The search for the best venue for the park ended in the rural Anaheim, California with a purchase of a 160-acre orange grove near the junction of the Santa Ana Freeway (I-5) and Harbor Boulevard.Construction for Disneyland began on July 21, 1954, 12 months before the park was scheduled to open.Some 160-acres of citrus trees had been cleared and 15 houses moved to make room for the park. However, when the real designing came around, Disney met with inevitable questions. How do you make believable wild animals, that aren't real? How do you make a Mississippi paddle ship? How do you go about building a huge castle in the middle of Anaheim, California? Disney asked his movie studio staff for answers. The design of Disneyland was something never done before. There would be four uniquely different theme parts: Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland Tomorrow land. Bit by bit, Disneyland got ready for Opening Day. The staff worked around the clock to get ready.But opening day was a terrible disaster. Besides the terrible opening day conditions, the park did eventually pick up. By 1965, ten years after opening day, 50 Million visitors had come through the gates.36. The passage is mainly about___________.A. How Disneyland came into beingB.

Disco at The Lord Napier.B. Jazz at The Bull’s HeadC. The electric accordion at The Derby Arms.D. The sing-along at The Black Horse.. CPeople do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking. They try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find out the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gears carefully. After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short , he has solved the problem.43. By referring to Sam’s broken bicycl e, the author intends to _________.A. illustrate the ways to repair his bicycleB. discuss the problems of his bicycleC. tell us how to solve a problemD. show us how to analyze a problem44. Which of the following is NOT true?A. People do not analyze the problem they meet.B. People often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.C. People may learn from their past experience.D. People can not solve some problems they meet.45. As used in the last sentence, the phrase “in short” means _________.A. in the short termB. in detailC. in a wordD. in the end46. . In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except .A. recognize and define the problemB. look for information to make the problem clearerC. have suggestions for a possible solutionD. find a solution by trial or mistakeDThe campaign is over. The celebrations have ended. And the work for US president-elect Barack Obama has begun.The 47-year-old politician rose to the highest post because of his stand against the war in Iraq and his plans to fix a weak economy. But what will the first 47-year-old African-American president do for race relations?Obama’s victory appears to have given blacks and other minorities a true national role model. For years, many looked to athletes and musicians for inspiration. As Darius Turner, an African-American high school student in Los Angeles, told the Los Angeles Times, “Kobe doesn’t have to be e verybody’s role model anymore.”Recent polls（民意测验）also suggest that Obama’s victory has given Americans new optimism about race relations. For example, a USA Today poll found that two-thirds of Americans believe relations between blacks and whites “will finally be worked out”. This is the most hopeful response since the question was first asked during the civil rights revolution in 1963.However, it’s still too early to tell whether Obama’s presidency will begin to solve many of the social problems facing low-income black communities.Although blacks make up only 13 percent of the US population, 55 percent of all prisoners are African-American. Such numbers can be blamed on any number of factors on America’s racist past, a failure of government policy and the collapse(瓦解)of the family unit in black communities.It is unlikely that Obama will be able to reverse (扭转) such trends overnight. However, Bill Bank, an expert of African-American Studies, says that eventually young blacks need to find role models in their own communities. “That’s not Martin Luther King, and not Barack Obama,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “It’s actually the people closest to them. Barack only has so much influence.”In the opinion of black British politician Trevor Phi llips, Obama’s rise will contribute more to multiculturalism than to race relations in the US.“When the G8 meets, the four most important people in the room will be the president of China, the prime minister of India, the prime minister of Japan and Ba rak Obama,” he told London’s The Times newspaper. “It will be the first time we’ve seen that on our television screens. That will be a huge psychological shift (心理转变) for both the white people and the colored ones in the world.”47. For years, before Obama was elected president of the US, __________.A. Kobe was the only role model for all the blacksB. blacks could only find role models on the basketball courtC. minorities in America couldn’t find role models in their real lifeD. American blacks had no role model who was successful in political area48. According to Bill Bank, ____________.A. it’s better for young blacks to find role models in those who are close to themB. young blacks should not be so much influenced by ObamaC. blacks should find other role models because Obama is far from their realityD. Obama is not the proper role model for African-Americans49. What would be the best title for this passage?A. The First African-American PresidentB. America’s New R ole ModelC. Obama-- A Successful Black .D. Choosing a Right Role Model50. What will be the huge psychological shift Trevor mentioned at the end of the passage?A. The other three leaders all support Obama.B. Obama is an African-American president.C. None of the four leaders is white.D. The other three leaders except Obama are from Asian countries.A. ACDBB. ABDC. CACDD.

第1讲细微环节理解题（二）细微环节理解题(二)A(2016·山西四校高三第三次联考)World Book Day is a celebration of all things wonderful about books for all ages, with author events, school fancy－dress parades(游行) and a ￡1 book token(购书券) given to all school children under 18. It is a yearly event on 23rd April, organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO), to promote reading.In the United Kingdom, the day is recognized on the first Thursday in March. On 3rd March, 2016 children of all ages in the U．K. will come together to appreciate reading. Sometimes, reading a modern novel can be tough (Booker Prize winner The Luminaries runs to 832 pages! ), especially if reading is not your strong suit. In fact, one in six people in the U．K. never pick up a book because they've experienced difficulties or are out of the habit of reading for pleasure.The Galaxy Quick Reads series are designed to introduce reluctant readers to bestselling short funny novels, which bring the joy of reading without demanding hours of concentrated time. They cover a range of subjects, from romance to comedy.Jojo Moyes's Paris for One is a romantic adventure in which 26－year－old Nell books a weekend away to Paris with her lazy, neglectful boyfriend. When he fails to turn up, she is alone in the city. That is, until she meets Fabien, who shows her the charms of the French capital—in more ways than one.Adele Geras's moving story Out In The Dark was set in World War I, in which young Rob came back from the battlefields. Determined to find the officer's widow to return the photo of her and their daughter that the captain kept with him, he traveled several thousand miles but never gave up.Dead Man Talking is a fantastic tale of Pat, who had a terrible fight with his best friend, Joe, ten years ago—but now hears that Joe is dead, and he must attend his funeral. But Joe is not going quietly that very night—he's lying in his coffin being very chatty indeed.体裁：说明文题材：介绍说明主题：《银河快速阅读》系列语篇导读：有些书让不擅长阅读的读者望而却步。

山西太原市2016高考英语二轮阅读理解能力演练(2)及答案

山西太原市2016高考英语二轮阅读理解能力演练（2）及答案[2014·高三年级考试]My name is Megan Grattan，a resident of Cedar Springs for over fifteen years。

From the beginning of my first high school year at Cedar Springs High School，I wished for something different. I met some foreign exchange students in my school that year。

Their stories were my inspiration to pursue a crazy dream. I wanted to be an exchange student，too。

I wanted to experience something new every day and to learn a new language and a new way of life。

After a year and a half of paperwork and e.mails，I am now living in Aalborg，Denmark。

It is the fourth largest city in Denmark。

Aalborg is nothing like Cedar Springs。

Here, I have learned how to use a bus to get into town and how to walk to a convenience store for things I need. I even walk to school every day. While adjusting to a six.hour time difference from home, I have to get used to darkness setting in only around 4 p．m..Christmas in Denmark has been absolutely incredible. Aalborg Downtown has endless shops along streets for foottraffic only, all decorated in lights and flowers throughout the season. The greatest thingabout my Danish Christmas was the food. Christmas Eve and the three Christmas days were all filled with food! My host family and I had several dinners that consisted of pork，duck，potatoes, gravy and much more. The rice pudding, or, ris ala mande, is a unique dessert in Aalborg. One of my favorite Christmas treats was definitely aebleskiver which are pancakelike balls that are dipped(浸)in sugars and jam。

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

It takes more than just practice to become an Olympian. Gold medal performances require some serious nutrition. Have you ever wondered what these successful athletes eat to stay in peak shape?Keri Glassman, a registered dietitian and founder of Nutritious Life Meals, appeared on“Good Morning America”today to give you a glimpse into the diets ofsome top athletes. Some of their meals could surprise you.Crazy Calorie CountGlassman said Olympians eat a lot of food—quantities that for ordinary people would constitute pigging out. One secret of swimmer Michael Phelps’ astonishing performance in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing was consuming as many as 12, 000 calories in one day.Athletes can eat like this and not gain any weight because their workouts are intense. According to Glassman, Phelps’ workouts can burn 4, 000 to 6, 000 calories in a day, and those calories must be added in order to train the following day.Snacking SecretsSome athletes eat strange foods that improve their performance. Yohan Blake, the Jamaica sprinter and 100-meter world champion, has stolen champion sprinter Usain Bolt’s thunder on the track during the Olympic trials. Asked about how he gets his energy, Blake answered that he eats 16 bananas per day, Glassman said.Jonathan Horton, the lead gymnast on the US team, has a blood sugar problem. His solution is honey. When he starts to feel shaky at the gym, he takes honey to boost his energy, Glassman said.Foods for RecoveryWhat are the best foods to help the body recover after harsh competition?For Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, the recovery meal is grilled chicken breasts with Alfredo sauce, whole-g rain spaghetti and a salad with lemon juice and olive oil. Lochte, who recently cut out junk food, candy and soda, has undertaken a strength-training regimen(养生法)that involves flipping tractor tires and tossing beer kegs, Glassman said.【文章大意】运动员的成长不仅需要锻炼, 还需要营养, 合理膳食也至关重要。

It's an interesting and original form of tourism which will no doubt revolutionize real travel, and even make actual life somewhat different.On the banks of the River Rin, in the city of St. Alban, you can now take a half virtual, half real tour on horseback with the help of a piece of electronic equipment, earphones, and a science-fiction style visor (面罩 ) which contains a small camera. This modern equipment is called Life Clipper. It is the original idea of both Swiss inventor Jan Torpus, who studied in Barcelona, and German technology expert Nikolas Neecke.According to the instructions for the Life Clipper, once a tourist is equipped, he'll need a guide to assist him to get used to seeing the world8through the visor. Once on the Rin riverbank, the tourist starts his journey with the sounds of the water, which are created by sensors(传感器).From here the tourist travels on foot to the St. Alban neighborhood,feeling and sensing the view with his hands, nose and mouth. What he sees are images between the year 1000 and the year 1500: carriages, princes, etc.This project sounds like something from science fiction and it looks funny when people in a visor try to touch a horse which isn't there. So far, this tourism has been a successonly in Basilea, and will be introduced anywhere else in the world in the near future.This is a fun and unusual way of travelling. Surely it won't be long before we see a new and improved form of Life Clipper - one that isn't just for sightseeing, but also for other parts of our life. For example, instead of taking a bus to the office or university, we just sit at homeand put on the visor, feeling as if we were m a different place, andvirtual work becomes reality.41.The underlined word "revolutionize" in Paragraph l is closest in meaning to "________".A. createB. changeC. copyD. cover42.Which is TRUE about the Life Clipper?A.It is a small camera.B.It was invented by Jan Torpus.C.The science-fiction style visor is a part of it.D.Tourists can have a totally virtual tour with it.43.Paragraph 3 is mainly about __________.A.the history of virtual tourismB.the advantages of virtual tourismC.the ways of attracting more touristsD.how to operate Life Clipper44.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Tourists can get used to seeing the world on their own once equipped.B.Tourists can touch what they see through the visor.C.Life Clipper can make tourists see images of ancient times.D.Life Clipper has been used in other areas of our lives.45.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Virtual tourism is more popularB.Virtual tourism is more fantasticC.What the future of virtual tourism will beD.Virtual tourism is born【参照答案】 41-45 BCDCD该篇为说明文。

You know how wonderful you are，and youknow that others know how wonderful youare，but what do you do when admirationcrosses over the line into jealousy？For mostteens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship.When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do，but thegood news is that there is.Don't let jealousy spoil yourrelationships.Tackle it head on and you might be back to normalmuch sooner than you think.It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is，but if you want to save your friendship you'll have to do just that.Don't approach them and ask why they are jealous of you(unless of course you want to appear totally conceited)，just takesome time alone with them and let them know that you've beenfeeling like there's been something coming between you.If theyrefuse to respond，then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling.Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.When you figure out what is annoying your friend，ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better.If，for example，(s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn't get to spend any timewith you because of your being off with your new friends from theswim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time orblock off one day a week for just the two of you.Remember，though，that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise.Don't limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy.Try instead to include him or her in your new life and seehow that works out.Even the best of friendships can be tinged by jealousy.This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies.Before taking extreme action，chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise.If youcan't，be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you won't.【语篇解读】本文是关于人际关系的话题。

2016二模第二部分阅读理解

第二部分阅读理解AIt was a cold winter morning and I was waiting in line to see Jack Canfield, one of the authors of the best selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series and the author of The Success Principles. What Jack had become was a version of what I wanted to be.During his presentation, Jack pulled out a hundred-dollar bill and asked “Who wants this?” Hands shot up in the audience and many people leaned forward to see who Jack would choose. But I ran up to the stage and grabbed the bill from his hand. He turned to me and said, “Yes, that’s it! Instead of waiting around for opportunities, simply act and create what we want!”After this talk, I asked for his personal e-mail address and sent him e-mails sharing my views and dream. He kindly e-mailed back simple encouragements such as “Keep thinking and playing bigger; it’s much more fun that way.” Then I got occupied with other things in life and I stopped e-mailing Jack.A year later, my dream gradually faded. I had the idea that I would get in touch with Jack again. I e-mailed him several times but got no response. As I sat down at my computer to check my e-mail for the fifth time in 15 minutes, an inspiration came like lighting: What was I doing? Was I waiting for the prize of life? I knew I needed to do something about all this waiting. I was going to write a book, which I would call Waiting for Jack!It all sounded good, but then reality hit. Some nights I cried and wanted to give up. Then I wrote and rewrote. Even though I had great difficulty, I did it anyway. Fortunately, three years later, Waiting for Jack turned out a best-seller on Amazon!We all have a “Jack”—whether it’s a person, a place, a time or some certain thing. Now I would like to ask you: what are you waiting for?21. From the first paragraph we can learn that the author ___________.A. wanted Jack to autograph (签名) her bookB. wanted to be as successful as JackC. wanted to make friends with JackD. wanted to get help from Jack22. It can be inferred from the passage that Jack Canfield is probably a person who___________.A. never replies e-mailsB. likes showing off his wealthC. seldom takes risksD. enjoys challenges in life23. How did the author lose contact with Jack?A. She and Jack had an argument.B. She once had no time to contact Jack.C. Jack was too proud to get along with.D. She was too upset with her broken dream.24. What might be the theme of the book Waiting for Jack?A. The disappointment of waiting for her hero Jack.B. The need to keep waiting for the prize of our life.C. The importance of taking action to achieve a goal.D. The harm of blindly admiring others as heroes.BFor many kids, the Internet is at their fingertips. From computers to smart phones, a web of information is open to them. According to a new report, about three out of four kids aged 12 to 15 connect the Internet using a mobile device from time to time. Many younger kids are online too.Julian Zeitlinger, 9, from New Jersey, uses his computer to watch videos and play games. To keep him safe online, his parents monitor his web use and discuss Internet safety with him. “I askmy parents whether something is nice or bad,” Julian says.Mobile devices offer more ways than ever to share personal information. The information can be dangerous in the wrong hands. A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience.Have you ever had to enter a parent’s e-mail address when signing up for a website? That safety measure is there because of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The law says sites for kids under 13 cannot collect personal information, such as a phone number or full name, without a parent’s permission.This July, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will update COPPA for the first time since the law was created in 1998 when there were no smart phones. “The nature of the way kids get online has changed,” FTC lawyer Phyllis Marcus said.When the changes take effect, COPPA will apply to mobile devices and newer forms of advertising. It will expand what falls under “personal information” to include videos, photographs, and services that give users’ location.COPPA doesn’t cover everything that can go wrong online. T hat is why kids and parents need to know what to look out for and to stop and think before sharing information online.“There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA, it is totally safe,” says privacy expert Shai Samet. He runs KidSAFE, which checks whether a site meets KidSAFE standards and is safe. “It’s important that kids know how useful the Internet is but that it also can be dangerous if you are not careful,” he adds.25. Julian’s parents check his web use to make sure______.A. he do esn’t watch too many videosB. he doesn’t play computer gamesC. he controls his online timeD. he stays safe on the Internet26. What’s one of the changes with COPPA?A. It broadens the concept of person information.B. It prevents users from making their location public.C. It covers everything that goes wrong online.D. It says no to any kind of advertising.27. People often hold the wrong idea that ______.A. formal websites are always safeB. the Internet is becoming safer and saferC. COPPA can ensure their complete safetyD. daily checks prevent future online problems28. Why does the author write the passage?A. To ask parents to look out for their kids.B. To talk about online safety for children.C. To introduce a new law.D. To sell an online product.CIf you are looking for a day trip with the family, here’s a list of festivals and fairs happening within a reasonable drive from Charlotte.Hopscotch Music FestivalWhere: Downtown Raleigh (various places)When: Today—SaturdayHighlights: This music festival features performances by more than 175 national and international bands playing in 15 different places, all within walking distance.

Downtown Raleigh.C. Bennett.D. Fletcher.DScientists have always been interested in the high level of organization in ant societies. American researchers have watched ants build life-saving rafts(救生筏) to keep afloat during floods. They also have documented how ants choose their next queen—the female whose job is to produce eggs.New technology is helping to improve researchers’ understanding of the insects. But there is still a lot to be learned.Fire Ants living in Brazilian forests are perfectly at home in an environment where flooding is common. To save themselves, the insects connect their legs together and create floating rafts. Some ant rafts can be up to 20 centimeters wide.David Hu is an engineer with Georgia Institute of Technology, also known as Georgia Tech, saying, “If you have 100 ants, which means 600 leg s, 99 percent of those legs will be connected to their neighbors’. So they’re very, very good at maintaining this network.”David Hu and other Georgia Tech researchers wanted to study ants and the secret of their engineering. They froze ant rafts and then looked at them with the help of computed technology, or CT images. The pictures showed that larger ants serve in central positions to which smaller ants hold. The larger ants form pockets of air that keep the insects afloat.Scientists say small robots or materials that can change shape could be programmed in a similar way, working towards a shared goal.Researchers at North Carolina State University are also studying ants. They examined how Indian Jumping Ants choose their leader when they lose their top female or queen.32. The author talks about Fire Ants to tell us____________.A. how they seek foodB. how they surviveC. how they communicateD. how they live together33. What can we know from what David Hu said?A. Ants know the way to join together tightly.B. Ants know the way to keep a good figure.C. Ants know the way to keep healthy.D. Ants know the way to choose a new queen.34. Why did the larger ants serve in central positions in their ant rafts?A. To stress their importance.B. To protect the smaller ants.C. To attack their enemies.D. To make their rafts reliable.35. What inspiration do the ants give us according to the passage?A. We can use similar-shaped machines in flood-stricken areas.B. We can use new materials to make small robots.C. Small and shape-changeable objects might work just like ants to.D. Small robots or materials in the shape of ants can be made.第二节You can keep varieties of apples for up to six months if you store them properly. The Red Delicious, Golden Delicious and Jonathan are all suitable for long-term storage. Avoid trying to store early ripening（早熟的）varieties such as the Lodi apple, if possible. 36 InstructionsSort through the apples you wish to store. Remove any that shows signs of damage, such as cuts, scratches or holes. 37 You can use them to make apple products that you can then store, such as apple juice or apple sauce.Place the apples into plastic bags. These bags will help maintain the correct humidity(湿度) level, which ideally should stay between 90 and 95 percent. 38 Keeping the apples in an airtight bag can cause carbon dioxide to build up in the bag, and they will go bad easily.39 For the longest storage, you should keep the apples at 30 to 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Apples do not freeze until the temperature drops below 29.4 degrees, so keeping the temperature slightly above that is important.Check the temperature and humidity levels of your apples every two to three weeks to ensure that the storage environment is still ideal.Tips & Warnings40 By doing so, you can prevent them from contributing to faster spoilage of the entire group.A. Dry them before storing them.B. The rotten apple injures its neighbors.C. Store the bags of apples in a cool, dark place.D. Remove any apples that show signs of spoilage.E. These damaged apples are not good candidates for storage.F. These might go bad after as short as a week even with proper storage.G. Fold the ends of the bags under the apples, but do not make the bags completely shut.第三部分英语知识运用第一节完形填空everything he had.One day his daughter came to him.

I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:”Make something out of the Tinkertoy s. You have 45 minutes today - and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity wouldinfect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, ”But I’m just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”“Nobody. I do it.”“Really-at night, when you’re asleep?”“Sure.”zxx.k“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”5. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________?A. know more about the studentsB. make the lessons more excitingC. raise the students’ interest in artD. teach the students about toy design6. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. He liked to help his teacher.B. He preferred to study alone.C. He was active in class.D. He was imaginative.7. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 prob ably mean?A. Mistake.B. Drawback.C. Difficulty.D. Burden.8. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?A. To help them to see their creativity.B. To find out about their sleeping habits.C. To help them to improve their memory.D. To find out about their ways of thinking.CReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it.E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.zxx.kBookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundredthirty-five countries.9. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are.B.To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.10. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to?A. The book.B.An adventure.C.A public place.D. The identification number.11. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A. Meet other readers to discuss it.B.Keep it safe in his bookcase.C. Pass it on to another reader.D. Mail it back to its owner.12. What is the best title for the text?A. Online Reading: A Virtual TourB. Electronic Books: A new TrendC. A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD. A Website Links People through BooksDA new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force apassage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.13. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A. They were made last weekB. They showed undersea sceneriesC. They were found by a cameramanD. They recorded a disastrous adventure14. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A. Frank HurleyB. Ernest ShackletonC. Robert Falcon ScottD. Caroline Alexander15. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A. Artistic creationB. Scientific researchC. Money makingD. Treasure hunting第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2016届高考英语第二轮阅读理解调研复习题3

安徽长丰县2016高考英语阅读理解【二轮】编练（3）及答案阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

【2014二模】Best bike-sharing cities in the worldWhen Citi Bike rolled onto the streets of New York this Memorial Day, it was treated as a national event and even international media took notice. In advance of the launch, one blog post on Le Monde’s website claimed, ―Bike share to conquer America.‖The next major development was in Copenhagen, which introduced a coin-operated system in 1995 called B klen, or ―City Bike.‖ For 17 years, these bikes zipped through the streets of Denmark’s capital until the program was shut down late last year—it’s getting an upgrade to third generation technology.Sponsored by media giant Clear Channel, the French city of Rennes brought the next generation of bike share to the world in 1998 by replacing coin operation with card access and electronic booths. From there the technology has progressed, picking up GPS and real-time tracking along the way, and has spread throughout Western Europe—and the world.According to the Bike Sharing World Map, maintained by DeMaio and Russell Meddin of Bike Share Philadelphia, there are 553 bike share programs in operation worldwide and another 193 in planning or under construction.And they’re no t just in Europe and North America. The worldwide leader in bike sharing, as measured by the number of bikes, is China. According to data collected by the Earth Policy Institute, 20 of the 25largest bike share programs are Chinese. Its largest one, in the city of Wuhan, has twice the nu mber of bikes as all of France’s shares combined.Although most of the systems share several characteristics—bikes with low theft value, electronic docking stations, ranked payment scales—different cities are trying different ways to make bike sharing work.Take a look at Hangzhou, China, this city of 6.2 million near Shanghai, and you’ll see what just may be the best bike share in the world. Although now second on the planet (and China) by size, the Hangzhou Public Bicycle system is one of the densest shares, and probably the most extensively used one, anywhere, largely because of its mixing into public transport: a single card grants access to subway, bus, ferry, taxi and bike share. Residents and tourists alike can put down a deposit of 200 Chinese Yuan (about $33) and ride for an hour for free in this scenic city on the Yangtze Delta. Each additional hour is the equal of only $0.15—one reason why riders put in a quarter-million rides a day. By 2020 it’s projected to have 175,000 bikes.71. What does the blogger mean by the underlined part ―Bike share to conquer America.‖?A. Bike share is a national event.B. Bike share attracts international media.C. Bike share is popular in America.D. America is a kingdom of bikes.72. In 1995 citizens in the French city of Rennes can get access to bike share ______.A. by putting coins into the systemB. by inserting a card into the systemC. by showing ID card to the boothsD. by boarding the docking station73. Which of the following countries has the most bikes?A. America.B. Denmark.C. France.D. China.74. Which of the following statements is TRUE about bike share?A. No thief will steal bikes.B. The payment is the same among cities.C. Any city has her own way to operate it.D. There is no competition between cities.75. If you tour in Hangzhou you can find the bike share there is ______.A. the most advanced in the worldB. a most successful exampleC. free for local peopleD. available at scenic spots 【参考答案】71-75 C A D C B2016高考英语阅读理解--人生百味类In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity; others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In theirsingle-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other humanqualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: ―I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.‖ What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued.

What do you love to do? If you truly love what you do just go ahead and try to make a living by doing it. People will throw money at you to do it. But you will always have to work hard at it. I have to draw every single day of my life. I have to draw about 20 ideas. My advice is to put aside a certain amount of time every day and make you draw or whatever, especially when you don’t feel like it. Only in this way will you be able to perfect your talent.The first step you take is to go to your local library and ask for the publications issued in the current years. When you get these publications, try to find the names of the top people concerned and their presidents. After you find these, write down their names and addresses. Keep this list and update it every year. Next thing you want to do is to create at least 40 cartoons. Get a grid（格子）from one of the strips in the newspapers, enlarge it to whatever size you wish and draw inside this grid. Now take the best 20 of your ideas and make them into finished pieces. To do this, you would want to copy them in ink because if you were a professional cartoonist, that was what you should do. Now you can reduce the size of th e finished cartoons to fit onto a regular comic’s page. By comparing yours with the others already in print, it gives you a good idea of clarityto your cartoon.The next step is to write letters to presidents of the publication. In the letters, explain who you think would read your work, or in other words, what group do you think you would target. After you complete these, send all of your information enclosed with letters in the appropriate envelope.Now as soon as you send out these letters, start to create a brand new strip with all new characters. Don’t get married to one idea because if your idea gets turned down then you will give up. And always remember. If you receive a rejection from any of them, keep in mind that you are working on something better. You will be working on something new and more exciting and the rejection letter will not have any impact. With this in mind…【小题1】What is the advice from the writer in the first paragraph when you want to succeed in your life?A．Stop doing anything until you find something quite suitable for your future career.B．Put aside a certain amount of time every day to consider how to make a living.C．Make a living by something that you truly like to do as your profession and work hard at it.D．Perfect your talent only by drawing some cartoons.【小题2】The purpose of writing a letter to the president was to ____. A．get some money to support the later careerB．enclose the information on how to become cartoonists with the letter C．focus his attention on the workD．explain who would be the readers of the work【小题3】The underlined phrase ―get married to one idea‖ in the last paragraph probably refers to ______.A．having a strong desire to get marriedB．fixing all attention on one ideaC．marrying someone is a good ideasD．refusing one idea to get married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。

It's her feature！It gives her character！But to you，that thing on your nose is completely ugly. Our opinions of our own looks are also changeable.So if we can't trust the judgment of ourselves，or the words of friends and family which can take away our doubts，we're left to the cool judgment of strangers to satisfy our curiosity about our appearances.The website“Hot or Not”，which lets people hand their photos in for others to judge，had nearly 2 million daily page views within a week in 2000.But it's not the best way to improve the judgment of yourself because you have no confidence yet in your mind.Everyone may pay too much attention to his or her own appearance，and at the same time worry about being criticized.If you are particularly attentive to your body，or if you feel uncomfortable in public，you are certainly hotter than you think.And we all have the ability to change how other people judge us without changing our looks.When you believe that you look good，others will see you in a more favorable way.Improve your impression from the inside.Understanding your ownadvantages can help you stop worrying about your appearance and look better.1．What can we infer from the first paragraph?A．We should focus on our advantages.B．Don't be cheated by others' praise.C．Judging oneself in a right way is important.D．It's unnecessary to know the meaning of beauty.答案：C推理判断题.根据第一段“...self-knowledge is the most important beauty secret.”可知，人的自知之明是美丽的最重要秘诀.由此推之，正确评价自己很重要.2．What does the example in the second paragraph suggest?A．Good-looking people are more popular than ordinary ones.B．Some bad-looking people are afraid to look in the mirror.C．Some people judge one by his appearance simply.D．Sometimes we make our own imperfections bigger.答案：D推理判断题.根据第二段“That bump on your friend's nose. It's her feature！It gives her character！But to you，that thing on your nose is completely ugly.Our opinions of our own looks are also changeable.”可知，“你”可能认为朋友鼻子上的凸起是她的特色，赋予她个性.而如果在自己身上，就会看起来很丑陋.由此推断，有时我们把自身的瑕疵放大了.3．“Hot or Not”________．A．is a website which allows others to comment on your characterB．can't change your ideas completely unless you're confidentC．is a good way to make friends and makes you popular onlineD．can satisfy one's curiosity about others' secrets答案：B细节理解题.根据第三段“But it's not the best way to improve the judgment of yourself because you have no confidence yet in your mind.”可知，这个网站不是提升“你”对自己评价的最好方法，因为在心里，“你”仍然没有自信.所以，除非“你”有自信，否则这个网站不能完全改变“你”的想法.4．From the last paragraph we can learn________.A．hanging our looks can make us more attractiveB．people shouldn't care about their own disadvantagesC．we can make ourselves more beautiful in the mindD．it's useless to pay attention to your appearance答案：C细节理解题.根据最后两句“Improve your impression from the inside. Understanding your own advantages can help you stop worrying about your appearance and look better.”可知，作者建议从内部提升“你”的形象.了解自身优势有助于“你”不再担忧自己的外表，从而(让自己)看起来更美.所以，“我们”可以从内心中把自己“武装得”更美.2016高考训练题.阅读理解.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项.On occasion, a memory came to my mind. My mother had a nice table with a single vase standing on it. The table, as I remember, was always in my family and I had to clean it as a child as my weekly housework. It was such a beautiful table that my mother was proud to have it in her living room.Our family moved around a lot because my father, a Spanish and Hawaiian guitar teacher, needed to find new students as the old learned and left. We were never without food, fancy clothes or a house to live in. but, as I grew older, I knew why.My father would usually make enough money to buy us food and clothing, and deal with the doctor bills by paying out of his own pocket for a family of six. He was self-employed and had no medical coverage(医疗保险).Through so many moves, my mother was the organizer of everything that needed to be done. Dad was away at around one o’clock each evening, so the major kid rearing(抚养), cooking and cleaning were all her work. I can also remember her sewing almost every night.My mom didn’t take vacations. She didn’t go out to buy fancy clothes for herself, and what she did buy was for her four children. As children, we cared ab out almost nothing. We didn’t care about when the next money would come in. and, all through the years there sat a table with a vase on top.I sat back now and then and stared at that table. It was a reminder of what love was shown by my mother, what she suffered over the years, and what she gave to us, so we could have what we needed. And, her only valuable possession was the table with the vase on top.1. What did the author sometimes recall?A. Having to clean the table weekly.B. Putting a vase on the table weekly.C. His mother’s vase lying on the table.D. His mother’s table with a vase on it.2. What can we learn about the author’s family?A. He supported his family by teaching the guitar.B. He hated his father always being out and too busy.C. His family had no fixed home when he was young.D. His family didn’t have enough food when he was young.3.

What does the author do at present?C. What housework did the author’s mother do?D. Why did the author’s family move so often?参考答案1—4、DCAB【阅读理解】科普知识类阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项.Like distance runners on measured course, all of us will move through time in a roughly predictable pattern.In the first stage of our lives, we develop and grow, reaching toward the top of physical vitality (energy).After we grow up, however, the body begins a process of gradually wearing out.A new awareness of physical fitness may help lengthen our years of health and vitality, yet nothing we do will work to stop the unavoidable force of aging.Most of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body. The lungs become less able to take in oxygen. Powerful muscles gradually lose their strength. The heart loses power and pumps less blood. Bones grow easier to break.Finally, we meet a stress, a stress that is greater than our physical resistance. Often, it is only a minor accident or chance infection (a disease caused by virus), but this time, it brings life to an end.In 1932, a classic experiment nearly doubled the lifetime of rats, simply by cutting back the calories (unit for measuring the energy value of food)in their diet. The reason for the effect was then unknown.Today, at the University of California at Berkley, Dr. Paul Seagle has also greatly lengthened the normal lifetime of rats. The result was achieved through a special protein (蛋白质)limited diet, which had a great effect on the chemistry of the brain. Seagle showed that within the brain, specific chemicals control many of the signals that influence aging. By changing that chemical balance, the clock of aging can be reset.For the first time, the mystery (something that is difficult to understand or to explain)of why we age is being seriously challenged. Scientists in many fields are now making striking and far-reaching discoveries.An average lifetime lasts 75 years, yet in each of us lies a potential for a longer life. If we could keep the vitality and resistance to disease that we have at twenty, we would live for 800 years.1. What does the underlined word “it”r efer to?A. Physical vitality.B. Stress.C. Aging.D. Physical resistance.2. The author believes the following EXCEPT that ______.A. human’s life pattern is predictableB. physical fitness can’t stop the force of agingC. human’s lifetime wi ll last longer than 75 yearsD. all of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body3. How did Dr Paul Seagle lengthen the lifetime of rats in his experiment?A. By limiting the protein in their diet.B. By cutting the calories in their diet.C. By resetting their clock of aging.D. By keeping their physical fitness.4. What is probably the best title for the article?A. Two Great Experiments.B. The Mystery of Human Life.C. Ways to Lengthen Human Life.D. The Breakthrough in the Study of Aging.【参考答案】1—4、BDAD阅读理解.阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项.The Renaissance，considered by modern scholars to have been the time between 1,300 and 1,600，was a period of European history when many new inventions and beliefs came into being.The Renaissance is traced back to rich Italian cities such as Florence，Milan，and Venice.In these cities businessmen started to spend their extra money on things like painting and education，and to consider new techniques of banking and systems of government.A new type of scholar，the humanist(人文主义者)arose.Humanism was concerned with humankind and tin and Greek，literature and philosophy，music and mathematics were among the subjects humanists studied.The Renaissance gave rise to new forms of painting and sculpture.During the Renaissance，artists were no longer regarded as mere artisans(工匠)．Many artists drew on mathematics in order to become more accurate in their measurements(度量)and to make sure an object was presented in realistic proportions.They also studied the way light hits objects and the ways our eyes perceive it.A new kind of paint，called oil paint，was invented.The Renaissance affected all of the society.Many people became interested in politics，and the world outside their towns.They became explorers，businessmen，etc.The effect on religion was especially strong.In the Middle Ages people were primarily concerned with serving the church and getting to heaven.But the increase in arts and education gave people things to look forward to in life，and made them lose interest in the church.The Renaissance produced many great minds.Leonardo da Vinci was one of the greatest，although he was not regarded that way at the time.Among his many works of art were Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.He is also regarded as a great inventor，and is credited for coming up with the idea of the helicopter.1.

Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activit y.I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events, feelings, and impressions in my lit tle blue diary.I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper.After all, isn't accu mulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foo t in a great valley, well－equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera.During the trip, I w as busy recording every incident, name and place I came acr oss.I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my t ravels.On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand.The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, a nd the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their scre en of shadows.I automatically took out my pen...At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.All I remembered of the prev ious few days were the dull characterizations I had set down i n my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a spe cial thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotation s that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful.I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful.I'm no longer blindly satisf ied with having something to remember when I grow old.I reali ze that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes.Maybe I won't have as many exact repres entations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.I do n't live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.1．Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of________.A．observing her school routineB．expressing her satisfactionC．impressing her classmatesD．preserving her history解析细节理解题。

For more than nine days，for more than 60 miles，thousands of Beijingbound vehicles have come to an almost t otal stop on highways called the 6 and 110 that run from Inner Mongolia southeast to the nation's capital.Bai Xiaolong，a 30yearold truck driver，says it took him five days to make the 350mile journey from In ner Mongolia to Tianjin.He spent much of that time reading，textmessaging and sleeping rather than speeding up. “There was one day that I didn't move，not even an inch，”said Bai，an inhabitant of Jining in Inner Mongolia，a city at the western end of the traffic jam.Chinese officials said that the congestion is mainly because of the maintenance(维护)projects that began in midAugust and are scheduled to be completed in midSeptember.Trucks carrying 8 tons or more of coal or fruit have been responsible for damaging the roadway ，thus making the work necessary.Drivers who often use the route know that heavy traffic has lo ng been a fact of l ife.“The problem is really that there're too m any cars and trucks and not enough lanes(车道)，”Bai said.“We drivers are used to this sort of thing happe ning.”The two national freeways are heavily used by trucks carrying coal from the recently opened fields of Inner Mongolia to 's c oastal cities.The seemingly endless jam began on the 6 and spread to the 110，which runs parallel(平行的)，when officials sought to ease the traffic on the 6.The Global Times，and Englishlanguage newspaper，said the jam had eased somewhat in the last two days，but inhabitants of the region say the congestion simply spilled out onto other roads.The congestion has created an economy of its own.Vendors(小贩)sell boxed lunches，noodles and drinking water to the travelers，often at jackedup prices.And because of the longstanding pro blems along the highways，dozens of small hotels have appeared，attracting drivers who need a stop to catch more serious slee p.1．According to the text，the 110 was mainly damaged by________.A．too many cars B．bad weatherC．poor maintenance D．heavy trucks答案：D 细节理解题。

For decades, public health officials have puzzled over a surpri sing fact about HIV: Only about 10-20 percent of infants who are breastfed by infected mothers c atch the virus. Tests show, though, that HIV is indeed present in breast milk, so these children are exposed to the virus mult iple times daily for the first several months of their lives. Now, a group of scientists and doctors from has figured out why these babies don’t get infected. Human breast milk natur ally contains a protein called Tenascin C that neutralizes HIV and, in most cases, prevents it from being passed from mothe r to child. Eventually, they say, the protein could potentially be valuable as an HIV-fighting tool for both infants and adults that are either HIV-positive or at risk of contracting the infection.The research, published in Proceedings of the National Acade my of Sciences, was inspired by previous work by other resea rchers showing that, both in tissue cultures (组织培养) and live mice, breast milk from HIV-negativemothers was naturally endowed with HIV-fighting properties. Scientists suggested that a few different pr oteins in the milk could potentially be responsible, but no one knew which one.As part of the study, the researchers divided breast milk into s maller fractions (部分) made up of specific proteins via a number of filters (过滤) — separating the proteins by size, electrical charge and ot her characteristics—and tested which of these fractions, when added to a tissue c ulture, prevented the cells from being infected by HIV. Eventu ally, they found that one particular protein was present in all th e HIV-resistant fractions but in none of the others: Tenascin C. Tenascin C works by blocking a key protein on HIV’s envelop e that normally ties up to a receptor on a T cell’s membrane c alled CCR5. In doing so, Tenascin C prevents HIV from mixin g with the T cell and injecting its RNA inside.Still, the researchers say that other natural elements in milk m ight play a role in fighting HIV as well. “It’s clearly not the whol e story, because we do have samples that have low amounts of this protein but still have HIV-neutralizing activity,” the study’s lead author Permar says. “Soit may be acting in concert with other antiviral and antimicrobi al factors in the milk.”Whatever those other factors are, though, the finding vindicat es (证明……的正确) recent changes to UN guidelines that recommend even HI V-positive mothers in resource-poor countries should breastfeed, if they’re taking anti-retroviral drugs to combat their own infection.The next steps, Permar says, are determining which area of T enascin C is active and whether it can effectively prevent tran smission in a live animal. If it works, it could potentially be inc orporated (合并) into an HIV drug with broader applications. It’s even possi ble that it could someday be adapted to reduce the risk of HIV transmission in adults as well as infants.63. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A. The breast milk from an infected mother doesn’t contain HI V at all.B. It’s less likely for infants feeding on infected mothers’ breas t milk to catch HIV.C. The possibilities of infants catching HIV have nothing to do with infected mothers.D. Children breastfed by infected mothers won’t catch HIV tho ugh exposed to it frequently.64. Why did the researchers divide breast milk into smaller fra ctions?A. To find out Tenascin C.B. To make up spec ific proteins.C. To add them to a tissue culture.D. To test what pr events cells being infected.65. Which of the following about Tenascin C is true?A. It has become an effective tool in fighting HIV.B. It was first found by Permar and her research group.C. It can prevent transmission in a live animal effectively.D. It can sometimes prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV.66. What can we know about Permar and her research group according to the passage?A. They have found a cure for HIV.B. They have helped change UN guidelines.C. They will do more researches on Tenascin C.D. Their finding is based on their previous work.【参考答案】63. B 64. D 65. D 66. C【2014高考英语南京市、盐城市一模】请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

That’s what some California motorists may be saying soon，as car makers try to speed up production of zero emission(零排放) cars to meet state requirements in the near future.Beneath the skin of this ordinary looking Hondas FCX Concept Vehicle sits an electro-chemical reactor：a hand-built，astronomically expensive power_plant known as a fuel cell.It’s expected to be running ordinary family cars on California’s roads within three years.So what exactly is a fuel cell，anyway? Why are governments，private businesses and academic institutions cooperating to develop and produce them? A fuel cell，very simply described，is a power generator，making electricity through the combination of hydrogen and oxygen.Fuel cells generate electrical power quietly and efficiently，without pollution.Unlike power sources that use fossil fuels，the only by-products from an operating fuel cell are heat and water.To be more technical about it，a hydrogen atom with its one electron，attempts to pass through a fuel cell membrane(膜) to unite with an oxygen atom.The membrane allows only the hydrogen proton(质子) to pass through，forcing its electron to run around the membrane to catch up with the proton on the other side.This creates electricity，water，and heat，but no exhaust emissions.If the fuel cell is powered with pure hydrogen，it has the potential to be up to 80-percent efficient.That is，it turns 80 percent of the energy content of the hydrogen into electrical energy.However，we still need to turn the electrical energy into mechanical work.This is accomplished by the electric motor.A reasonable number for the efficiency of the motor is about 80 percent.So we have 80-percent efficiency in generating electricity，and 80percent efficiency turning it into mechanical power.That gives an overall efficiency of about 64 percent.Honda’sFCX concept vehicle reportedly has 60-percent energy efficiency，which is twice or even three times more efficient than usual cars.But in spite of all the advantages described above，experts say，“We still have technical challenges getting this extremely complex system to work properly，the way customers expect it to work.There are challenges in using new fuels，and providing the new fuel basic facilities.And before fuel cell vehicles hit the road，there will have to be a network of hydrogen stations that will allow drivers to fill up with the flammable gas，under 36hundred pounds of pressure.”【解题导语】本文主要讲的是未来的新能源汽车的一些情况。

1．What can be inferred from California’s “zero emissions policy”？A．New cars with fuel cell technology will surely become much cheaper.B．By carrying out the policy，traffic will not be so busy as it is now.C．The quality of life in California will improve once this policy is in effect.D．With facilities of new kinds，more local employment will be created.解析：选C。

推理判断题。

如果汽车零排放政策生效后，那么市民的生活质量一定会提高，因为污染减少了，故答案选C。

2．What does the underlined phrase “power plant”in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．A power device generating electricity.B．A power station providing electricity.C．A power component consuming electricity.D．A power engine using electricity.解析：选A。

词义猜测题。

根据句子结构可知，power plant就是指的后面的fuel cell(燃料电池)，还有下段中A fuel cell，very simply described，is a power generator，making electricity through the combination of hydrogen and oxygen.故据此推断答案选A，一个发电装置。

3．One of the reasons why fuel cell powered vehicles are superior is that________．A．they give out almost no water or heatB．they run faster and more smoothlyC．they give out almost no noiseD．they turn 64% of the energy into electricity解析：选C。

细节理解题。

根据第三段中的Fuel cells generate electrical power quietly and efficiently，without pollution.可知答案选C，燃料电池发电安静、高效、无污染。

4．What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?A．Customers will not think it a good idea to develop fuel cell technology.B．It is still not very easy to speed up production of zero emission cars.C．We can’t ignore the financial problems to build a network of hydrogen stations.D．We still have much difficulty turning all the chains of the business into reality.解析：选D。

细节理解题。

根据第一句话：But in spite of all the advantages described above，experts say，“We still have technical challenges getting this extremely complex system to work properly”可知，现在利用该项技术还有较大挑战。

故答案选D。

B(2015·南京市三模)ELMONT，N.Y.(AP)Elmont High School senior Harold Ekeh had a plan—he would apply to 13 colleges，including all eight Ivy League schools，figuring it would help his chances of getting into at least one great school.It worked.And then some，the teenager from Long Island was accepted at all 13 schools，and now faces his next big test：deciding where to go.“I was stunned，I was really shocked，”Ekeh told The Associated Press during an interview Tuesday at his home near the Belmont Park racetrack，his four younger brothers running around.He found out last week he had been accepted to Princeton University.That made him eight for eight in the Ivy League—he had already been accepted to Yale University，Brown University，Columbia University，Cornell University，Dartmouth College，Harvard University and University of Pennsylvania.His other acceptances came from Johns Hopkins University，Massachusetts Institute of Technology，New York University，Stony Brook University and Vanderbilt University.“We are so proud of him，”said his mother ，Roseline Ekeh.“Hard work，dedication and prayer brought him to where he is today.”Born in Nigeria，Harold was eight years old when his parents brought the family to the United States.“It was kind of difficult adjusting to the new environment and the new culture，”he said.But he saw his parents working hard，“and I took their example and decided to apply_myself．”He referenced that effort in his college essay，writing，“Like a tree，uprooted and replanted，I could have withered in a new country surrounded by people and languages I did not understand.Yet，I witnessed my parents persevere despite the potential to give in.I faced my challenges with newfound zeal; I risked insults，spending my break talking to unfamiliar faces，ignoring their sarcastic remarks.”“Harold is tremendously focused in everything he does.”said John Capozzi，the school’s principal，“He’s a great role model.All the students and faculty are so proud of him.”Harold is the second Long Island student in as many years to get into all eight st year，William Floyd High School’s Kwasi Enim chose to go to Yale.Harold，who has a 100.51 gradepoint average and wants to be a neurosurgeon，said he was leaning toward Yale，and had heard from Enin，offering congratulations.Like Enin，he’s likely to announce his college choice at a press conference later this month.The deadline to decide is May.5．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase“apply myself”？A．Work hard.B．Write to the college.C．Make a formal request.D．Make an adjustment.解析：选A。
