题型组合练(五)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017·山东省实验中学一模)Recently，I had lunch with a young Chinese student who studies at a college in New York.He is very bright and aspiring and I enjoyed our conversation.Still I felt frustrated and useless afterwards because I was not able to provide him with any good news.Graduating at the end of this year，he asked me how he could find a job in this country and fulfill his career dreams.In recent years，students who found a job here after graduation have had to go through a cruel lottery system to obtain their H1B working visa.And the success rates have been declining year after year because of the ever growing number of st year，there were 233,000 applicants，and only 30 percent of them were lucky，less than half of the rate in 2013.And it can only become President Donald Trump’s immigration policies in this country are tightening up and this trend will continue for at least the next few years.In this case，foreign students studying social sciences，a field in which starting salaries are rarely above the required amount，can kiss their visa hopes goodbye.Compared to the older generation of Chinese students，today’s young people no longer consider the US as the only option.Many start to think China offers better opportunities in the longer term.This is not to say that Chinese students in the US are not interested in job opportunities here any more.A few years of work experience in the US can give them leverage when they finally land back in their home country.But if the job opportunities are largely reduced by the tightening of immigration policy，I expect there will be a decline.And if that happens，it is the American economy that will suffer from the loss of those educated，hard-working and talented immigrants.1．The author felt frustrated because .A．he was not interested in the talkB．he didn’t fulfill his career dreamsC．he couldn’t provide helpful adviceD．he thought the student was useless答案 C解析细节理解题。

B(2017·浙江教育绿色评价联盟联考)Do animals have emotions？Of course they do.Just look at their faces，tails and bodies.What we see on the outside tells us a lot about w hat’s happening inside their heads and hearts.Animal emotions aren’t all that mysterious.Then how can we measure animals’ emotions？A new study of animals’ emotions suggests that，emotions can tell animals about how dangerous their world is，and guide the choices that they make.The article of the study by Professor Mike Mendl from University of Bristol was published online.An animal living in an environment where it is often threatened by predators(捕食者) will develop a negative emotion or “mood”，such as anxiety.However，one in an environment with plenty of opportunities to get resources for survival will be in a more positive mood.The researchers say that these emotional states not only show the animal’s experiences，but they also help it decide how to make choices，especially in unclear situations.This could have good or bad results.An animal in a negative mood will make a “pessimistic” response to an unclear event.For example，it considers a noise in the grass as a signal of the predator.At the same time，an animal in a positive mood will benefit from a more “optimistic” response.It considers the noise as a signal of prey(猎物)．Professor Mike Mendl，the head of the Animal Welfare and Behavior Research Group at University ofBristol’s School of Clinical Veterinary Sci ence said，“We can use ‘optimistic’ or ‘pessimistic’ decision­making as a symbol of an animal’s emotional state.Recent studies by our group and others suggest that this is a new approach to studying a variety of animal species.”“Public interest in animal w elfare remains high，with widespread concern about the way in which animals are treated，used and included in society.To understand how animals should be treated，we need to better understand their emotional lives！” Mike Mendl said.The researchers believe Mike Mendl’s study can help them to better understand and assess an animal’s emotions.5．The animal seems more likely to feel anxious if .A．it is left in an unclear and strange environmentB．it hears a sudden noise from the grass nearbyC．its survival benefits from the resources available aroundD．it is often attacked by some larger animals or hunters答案 D解析细节理解题。
