湖南株洲縣2016高考英語閱讀理解二輪練習（5）

閱讀理解。閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項。

Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity.It may be walking, cycling, or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing.It may be a game of some forms—football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis.It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion of climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment.Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game.There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football.There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people.Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”.We should be mistaken in this.There are, it is true, no “ matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man.He has to fight the forces of nature.His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year by year.A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty.But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps.They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.1

【文章大意】本文敘述了登山運動的獨特之處以及登山運動員所要戰勝的困難。登山運動員不遵循一些人為的規則，而是自由的用自己的方法來攀登，因此登山屬于一種運動而不是一種比賽。登山運動員不僅要戰勝內心的強迫意識而且要戰勝自然界的力量。46.What sports are popular among people in winter in the passage?

閱讀理解.Why play games? Because they are fun, and a 1ot more besides.Following the rules?planning your next move...acting as a team member?these are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek.Such games are entertaining and fun.But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating(合作).3

Many children’s games have a practical side Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups.For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones.Which sharpens the hand-eye coordination（協調）needed in hunting.Many sports encourage national or local pride.The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition.People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it.For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.Sports are also an event that unites people.Soccer is the most popular sport in the world.People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living.Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer.He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.()1.Through playing hide-and-seek, children are expected to learn to ________.A.be a team leader B.obey the basic rules C.act as a grown-up D.predict possible danger 41.B.細節理解題。根據第一段中Following the rules?planning your next move...acting as a team member?these are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.可知B項正確。

閱讀理解.In the kitchen of my mother’s houses there has always been a wooden stand（木架）with a small notepad（記事本）and a hole for a pencil.I’m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother.Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did.Surely it can’t be the same pencil? The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.“I’m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years.” I say to her, walking bank into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil.“You still use a pencil.Can’t you afford a pen?” My mother replies a little sharply.“It works perfectly well.I’ve always kept the stand in the kitchen.I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in these days.”

Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently.My mother smiles and says, “One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty.One of the children must have taken the paper.So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back.It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”

This story—which happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician.I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work.Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards.Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics.Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible（看不到的）exhibits at every meal.()1.Why has the author’s mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen? A.To leave messages.B.To list her everyday tasks.C.To note down maths problems.D.To write down a flash of inspiration.()2.What is the author’s original opinion about the wooden stand?

A.The mother is successful in her career.B.The family members like traveling.C.The author had little time to play when young.D.The marks on the breadboard have disappeared.()5.In the author’s mind ,her mother is____ A.strange in behavior.B.keen on her research.C.fond of collecting old things.D.careless about her appearance.本篇文章為記敘文。主要講述“我”的母親總是習慣實用廚房里的記事本和鉛筆。50年過去了，換了 5 所房子，可母親的習慣沒有改變，卻更熱衷于此。我突然意識到母親是位天才的數學家。

46.D細節理解題。根據第四段第三句 never knew when I might want to note down an idea, “and I was always in the kitchen in those days”可知作者母親隨時在存放的記事本上記錄自己的想法，故選 D 項。

47.B 推理判斷題。根據第三段作者說的“I’m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years.”“Can’t you afford a pen”可知作者態度，是在反問母親，想讓母親用更好的筆和記事本，故選B

48.C 細節理解題，根據第五段第二句“I fell embarrassed that T complain about not having enough child-free time to work”可判斷選C項

49.A 推理判斷題。根據最后一段內容，可知我意識到母親的成功，她是天才數學家，母親充分利用了廚房里的記事本寫下數學，以及她對我的影響，由此判斷選A 50.B細節理解題。根據第五段第二句母親的話““One day I was cooking and watching baby ?It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”可知，作者的母親很熱衷于自己的發現，由此判斷選B

閱讀理解。閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項。When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back.When we’re hungry, we eat at home instead of going out.We take buses instead of taxis.And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer.With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor’s degree in three years instead of four.Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient.But there’s a question: Would the quality of undergraduate education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum(課程)any time soon.For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits.In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits.Professors will resist “diluting(稀釋)” the quality of the education they offer.In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education.A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major.It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it’s not a good idea to water down medicine.If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation.We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible.We should give them a chance to earn money as interns(實習生)in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.【文章大意】本文敘述了大學教育是否要削減時間，由四年制改為三年制。雖然許多美國大學沒有正式的贊同三年制的教育模式，但是在美國大多數大學，有些優秀大學生可以提前畢業。作者認為四年制的大學教育質量比三年制的更優越，學生可以利用充足的時間在所主修的專業和領域變得越來越熟練。

51.Which of the following can be the best title? A.It’s time to shorten the learning process B.Best learning takes place over time C.University education should be watered down D.College education calls for reform 【答案】B 【 解析】標題歸納題。根據A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major.可知作者認為大學教育要求學生利用充足的時間在所主修的專業和領域變得熟練，也就是要求最好的學習需要充足的時間。故選B 52.We can learn from the passage that ________.A.most American universities are against the “three-year degree” model B.many famous US universities are considering adopting the “three-year degree” model

C.professors are willing to accept the “three-year degree” model D.The “three-year degree” model can make college learning more efficient 【答案】A 【 解析】推理判斷題。根據Few US universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.可知幾乎沒有美國大學正式的贊同三年制的教育模式。故選A。

53.In most US universities，________.A.college students are offered the co-op program B.electives’ credits make up one quarter of the required credits C.all students are required to finish four-year education before graduation D.some excellent students can graduate ahead of time 【答案】D 【 解析】推理判斷題。根據most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits.可知在美國大多數大學，有些優秀大學生可以提前畢業。故選D。54.We can infer that________.A.the author is a college professor B.the author thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to afford C.the author considers the university education quality very important D.the author pays special attention to the all-round development of college students 【答案】C 【 解析】推理判斷題。根據In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education.可知作者認為四年制的大學教育質量比三年制的更優越，從中可推斷作者認為大學的教育質量非常重要。故選C 55.The first paragraph serves as a(n)________．

A.explanation B.definition C.introduction D.comment 【答案】C 【 解析】推理判斷題。根據With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.可知全額的滿時的高校學生渴望削減大學教育成本，由此導入下文的大學教育是否要削減時間。因此第一段起到了導入，介紹的作用。故選C。

湖南株洲縣2016高考英語閱讀理解二輪練習（3）

閱讀理解。

You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride.Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it.But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport.He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette(禮儀)is sort of odd(奇怪的),” Gray told the BBC.“They [elevators] are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”

We walk in and usually turn around to face the door.If someone else comes in, we may have to move.And here, according to Gray, liftusers unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements.He told the BBC what he had observed.He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want – it’s your own little box.If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally(對角線地)across from each other to create distance.When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle.And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner.A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively.Once in, for most people the rule is simple – look down, or look at your phone.Why are we so awkward in lifts? “You don’t have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC.“Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm’s length of distance between us.And that’s not possible in most elevators.”

In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed(理解)as threatening or odd.“The easiest way to do this is 1

to avoid eye contact,” she said.【文章大意】本文告訴我們一些不成文的電梯禮儀。

36.The main purpose of the article is to _____.A.remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevator B.tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquette C.share an interesting but awkward elevator ride D.analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator 【答案】B 【 解析】寫作意圖題。根據短文的內容可知這里敘述了電梯里的一些不成文的規定，故選B。

37.According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _____.A.turn around and greet one another B.look around or examine their phone C.make eye contact with those in the elevator D.try to keep a distance from other people 【答案】D 【 解析】細節理解題。根據“from each other to create distance”可知，人們進電梯后要跟別人保持距離。故選D。

38.Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator?

【答案】C

【 解析】細節理解題。根據A兩個人應站在對角線。B三個人要站成三角形。D五個人要站在四個角和中間。只有C四個人站在四個角是正確的。故選C。

39.The underlined phrase “size up” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _____.A.judge B.ignore C.put up with D.make the best of 【答案】A 【 解析】詞義猜測題。size up出現在“when the doors slide open”電梯門開時，“act decisively果斷行動”之前，所以應該是判斷門內情況的意思，只有judge審度最接近。B“ignore”無視；C“put up with”容忍；D “make the best of” 充分利用。故選A。

40.According to the article, people feel awkward in lifts because of _____.A.someone’s odd behaviors B.the lack of space

C.their unfamiliarity with one another D.their eye contact with one another 【答案】B 【 解析】推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段“You don’t have enough space”可知只有電梯里缺少空間的時候感到尷尬，故選B。

閱讀理解.Even at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard.“I’ll be the first millionaire in Coleford!” Richard used to boast.“And you’ll be sorry you knew me,” George would reply “because I’ll be the best lawyer in town!”

George never did become a lawyer and Richard never made any money.Instead both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street.It was hard to make money from books, which made the competition between them worse.Now with only one bookshop in town, business was better for George.But sometimes he sat in his narrow , old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window , thinking about his former rival（競爭對手）。Perhaps he missed him? George was very interested in old dictionaries, He’d recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first edition.When the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition and George was delighted.But while he was having lunch，George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in.He was astonished—the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable!Trembling, George started reading.“Bookends have bought ten bookstores from their rivals Dylans.The company, owned by multi-millionaire Richard Pike, is now the largest bookseller in Australia.”()1.George and Richard were at school.A.roommates B.good friends C.competitors D.booksellers()2.How did George feel about Richard after his disappearance? A.He envied Richard’s marriage.B.He thought of Richard from time to time.C.He felt lucky with no rival in town.D.He was guilty of Richard’s death.()3.George got information about Richard from.A.a dictionary collector in Australia B.the latter’s rivals Dylans C.a rare first edition of a dictionary D.the wrapping paper of a book 65.C 細節理解題。由第一段“Even at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard.”可知從上學開始，喬治和理查德就是競爭對手。A、B、D三項沒有根據，可排除。

66.B細節理解題。由第五段“But sometimes he sat in his narrow , old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window , thinking about his former rival（競爭對手）, Perhaps he missed him?”可知理查德消失后喬治常常想起他來，故B項正確。A、D兩項文中沒有交代，屬于主觀臆測。C項也無從推斷出喬治在沒有了競爭對手后感到很幸運。

67.D 細節把握題。由第六段“But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in.”一句可知喬治是從包書的一張報紙上得知理查德的消息的，故答案為D。

閱讀理解.Sports shoes that out whether their owner has enough exercise to warrant time in

front of the television have been devised in the UK.The shoes—named Square Eyes—contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day.A wireless transmitter passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the day’s efforts.The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University to London, UK.“We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,” she says.“And I wanted to tackle that with my design.”

Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off.And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both.Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television.So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time.Existing pedometers（計步器）normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement.Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking.But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat.“It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort,” she says.“That was one of my main design considerations.”

()1.According to Swan, the purpose of her design project is to ________.A.keep a record of the steps of the wearer B.deal with overweight among teenagers C.enable children to resist the temptation of TV D.prevent children from being tricked by TV programs()2.Which of the following is true of Square Eyes shoes? A.They regulate a child’s evening TV viewing time.B.They determine a child’s daily pocket money.C.They have raised the hot issue of overweight.D.They contain information of the receiver.()3.What is stressed by health experts in their suggestion? A.The exact number of steps to be taken.B.The precise number of hours spent on TV.C.The proper amount of daily exercise and TV time.D.The way of changing steps into TV watching time.()4.Compared with other similar products, the new design ________.A.makes it difficult for lazy teenagers to cheat B.counts the wearer’s steps through shaking C.records the sudden movement of the wearer D.sends teenagers’ health data to the receiver

()5.Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A.Smart Shoes Decide on Television Time B.Smart Shoes Guarantee More Exercise C.Smart Shoes Measure Time of Exercise D.Smart Shoes Stop Childhood Overweight 71.B 這是一道推斷題。根據第三段“‘We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,’she says,‘And I want to tackle that with my design.’”可以推斷出這個設計是為了解決孩子超重的問題。

72.A 這是一道推斷題。根據第四段“Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off.And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.”可知這種鞋利用走路的步數來控制孩子看電視的時間。

73.C 這是一道推斷題。根據第五段“Health experts suggest that a child take 12 000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television.”可以推斷出健康專家給出了每天合適的運動量和看電視時間。

74.A 這是一道推斷題。根據最后一段“Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking.But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy

teenagers to cheat.”可以推斷出類似產品可以用晃動來作弊,但是她設計的鞋使得懶惰的青少年很難作弊。

75.A 這是一道主旨題。本文主要介紹了一款智能運動鞋,利用孩子們每天的走步數來決定看電視的時間,起到控制體重的作用。

閱讀理解。

She’s not afraid of anything.Snakes? No problem.Walking alone in the dark? Easy.We’re not talking about a superhero here--SM is a 44-year-old mother.And she’s fearless because she happens to be missing part of her brain: the amygdala(扁桃腺).Shaped like a pair of almonds sitting in the middle of your brain, the amygdala helps control fear and anxiety.A rare condition called Urbach-Wiethe disease left SM without her amygdala, and seems to have completely erased her sense of fear.To try to understand how the amygdala works, a team of researchers made their efforts to scare SM.They showed her horror movies and took her to the Waverly Hills Sanatorium Haunted House in Kentucky.She pushed out one of the monsters(巨物)and laughed.SM said she didn’t like snakes, but at a pet store full of poisonous creatures, she kept asking to touch them.When asked to rate her feelings, SM reported feeling surprised or disgusted, but never fearful.“She tends to approach everything she should be avoiding,” says Justin Feinstein of the University of Iowa.This means the amygdala could control deeper urges to approach or avoid danger.Other scientists have a different opinion, though.“I don’t believe you can make a general statement about what the amygdala does by a single case study,” Elizabeth Phelps said.In 2002, Phelps published a study on a similar patient with amygdala damage who still showed fear.It may sound like fun to be totally fearless, but we get scared for a good reason.“The nature of fear is survival and the amygdala helps us stay alive by avoiding situations, people, or objects that put our life in danger,” Feinstein said.SM

was once followed in a park after dark by a man with a knife, and she simply walked away.“It is quite remarkable that she is still alive,” said Feinstein.【文章大意】本文敘述了研究人員通過在失去扁桃腺人的身上實驗扁桃腺的作用，結果發現它能控制人的恐懼，但是也有的科研人員對此產生了懷疑。

41.SM dares to walk alone in the dark mainly because ____________.A.she is a superhero B.she has experienced such conditions a lot C.she is a mental patient D.she has no sense of fear 【答案】D 【 解析】細節理解題。根據she’s fearless because she happens to be missing part of her brain她失去了扁桃腺沒有了害怕的感覺，故選D。

42.Researchers tried their best to frighten SM in order to find ___________.A.The function of a particular organ B.SM’s reaction of fear and anxiety C.The process of removing amygdala D.A special way to get along with monsters 【答案】A 【 解析】細節理解題。根據To try to understand how the amygdala works,研究人員為了找到扁桃腺是如何工作的，故選A。

43.What do we know from the research on SM? A.It was easy for her to avoid danger.B.SM never felt fearful but disgusted.C.SM was frightened by nothing except monsters.D.SM got along well with the snakes.【答案】B 【 解析】細節理解題。根據SM reported feeling surprised or disgusted, but never fearful.她沒有感覺到害怕和厭惡，故選B。

44.What is Elizabeth Phelps’ attitude toward the function of the amygdala based on the research on SM? A.Indifferent B.Supportive C.Disapproving D.Interested 【答案】C 【 解析】細節理解題。根據“I don’t believe you can make a general statement about what the amygdala does by a single case study, 可知Elizabeth Phelps不相信這種實

驗，故選C。

45.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.People can remove their amygdala to be fearless.B.SM will be admired because of her bravery.C.No one can survive if their amygdala is removed.D.The sense of fear is crucial to humans.【答案】D 【 解析】推理判斷題。根據“It is quite remarkable that she is still alive可知恐懼的感覺對人類來說是重要的，故選D。

For those who are tired of doing the laundry,Samsung has found an answer:a washing machine that can tell you when your laundry is done via a smartphone app(application).Strange though it may seem—“my wife already does that”was a common response among attendees viewing the device when it was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show(CES)this week—Samsung is just one of many appliance makers racing to install(安裝)a large number of internet-connected features in machines in an effort to make them “smart”.Last year,it was a refrigerator that tweeted.This year,it’s Wi-Fi-enabled laundry machines and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad.The washers and dryers,available starting in the spring,connect to any smartphone through a downloadable application.The phone can then be used as a remote control,so the machines can be turned on and off while their owner is at work or on the bus.Samsung says it’s not just something new—the app connection actually has some practical uses.“If you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out,you can go to your phone and restart your dryer for the time when you come home,so your clothes are refreshed and ready to go,” said spokesperson Amy Schmidt.The company also says that with electricity rates(電價)varying depending on the time of day,more control over when the machines are used can help save money.Perhaps,but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do—enable laziness.Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done,users will instead monitor it on their phones while watching TV.1.What can be inferred from the common response of the attendees at the CES?()A.The machine will be a big success.B.Their wives like doing the laundry.C.The machine is unrelated to their life.D.This kind of technology is familiar to them.2.What can we learn about the new laundry machines?()A.They can tell you when your clothes need washing.B.They can be controlled with a smartphone.C.They are difficult to operate.D.They are sold at a low price.3.We can conclude from Samsung’s statements that

.A.the app connection makes life easier B.it is better to dry clothes in the morning C.smartphones can shorten the drying time D.we should refresh clothes back at home 4.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?()A.The laundry should be frequently checked.B.Lazy people like using such machines.C.Good technologies also cause problems.D.Television may help do the laundry.語篇解讀:本文屬于科普知識類。對于那些討厭洗衣服的人來說,Samsung為他們找到了解決辦法:一種智能洗衣機可以通過靈巧的手機來控制,使得生活更加便利,但是好的技術同樣會產生問題。

答案及剖析:1.D 事實細節題。第二段提到,出席產品展銷會的人員說“my wife already does that”,這是他們對新型智能洗衣機的普遍反應。由此可知,他們都非常熟悉智能洗衣機的操作流程,故選D。

2.B 事實細節題。根據第一段“...when your laundry is done via a smartphone app(application).”可得出答案。

3.A 推理判斷題。文章第六段提到,如果你早晨甩干的衣服忘記拿出來了,你可以拿出手機重啟烘干機,這樣你的衣服就煥然一新了。由此可以推斷出這種新型洗衣機給生活帶來了便利。

4.C 主旨大意題。由文章最后一段“...enable laziness.Rather than...users will instead monitor it on their phones while watching TV.”可知,先進的技術同樣會帶來問題,故選C。【疑難詞匯解讀】

from depression often have problems sleeping，getting up on time，and doing work productively.Depression，which researchers agree has its origin in the genes，brings loss of confidence and ability to concentrate—making it impossible for employees and managers to work efficiently.Depression is made more serious in China by Chinese’s inability to face it.Many people believe that depressed people are either weak or lazy.Besides，there is no good treatment，with few specialists available.“Most patients in China just don’t get help，”a Chinese doctor says.“In my hospital，I have to see 30 or 40 patients in a morning，just have time to say ‘Hello，how do you feel？’”

In Western countries，people are not afraid to admit that they have depression，but most do not tell it to their boss，because they fear that they will be stricken_off_the_rolls.“In my experience，aging bosses are the most willing to admit they have it.Because they feel the most secure about themselves，” an American doctor says.Hopefully，in the near future，people around the world will be able to admit that they have depression so that they can get the right treatment.1．Which of the following is true according to the passage? A．It is widely believed that everyone may suffer from depression.B．Depression brings great problems to its sufferers in their life and work.C．Depression is a commonly-existing problem only in rich countries.D．The poorer and the less educated a person is，the less he will suffer from depression.2．Compared to normal people，the depressed people are likely to be________.A．very unconfident and often absent-minded B．easy to avoid being hit by heart attacks C．working efficiently and productively D．either weak or lazy 3．Depression becomes more serious in China because of________.A．the understanding of the problem B．the lack of treatment and doctors C．their unwillingness to tell it to their boss D．the doctors’ careless work 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．People are suffering from depression because of the shortage of specialists.5A．Dreaming does harm to one’s mood.B．Dreaming affects the quality of sleep.C．It’s hard to find out the secrets of dreaming.D．It’s not so important to know the cause of dreaming.4．What does the text focus on? A．Dreams and memories.C．The benefits of dreams.B．Dreams and emotions.D．The patterns of dreams.5．In which part of a magazine can this text be found? A．Entertainment.C．Science.語篇解讀 本文是一篇說明文。文章說明了夢的好處，即可以改善學習和情緒。

1．解析： 推理判斷題。根據第二段可知，為了證實夢對學習有幫助，Robert Stickgold做了這次實驗，而實驗結果表明選手的技能有所提高，根據本段最后一句“Similar tests have shown the same results for all kinds of skills.”可推知，夢對學習各種技能都是有幫助的，故選B。答案： B 2．解析： 細節理解題。根據第四段第一句“Another important task of dreams...emotions(情緒)．”和最后一句“In fact，dreams have a proven power to improve mood...”可知，夢有助于改善心情，故選C。答案： C 3．解析： 細節理解題。根據最后一段第二句“There’s probably no single answer to the question why we dream，but there doesn’t have to be.”可知，作者認為關于我們為什么會做夢的解釋不止一個，但也沒必要非要有一個解釋。答案： D 4．解析： 主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，本文主要說明了夢的好處：有助于改善學習和情緒。答案： C 5．解析： 推理判斷題。根據文章主旨可知，文章是關于夢的科學研究方面的知識，所以最可能在雜志的有關科學的欄目里找到此文章，故選C。答案：C。

第五篇：高考英語二輪復習閱讀理解專項限時訓練[29]

高考英語二輪復習專項限時訓練·閱讀理解（二十九）

A

No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student.Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once.Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward.But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t time for both.I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry.Poetry is “ a criticism of life”, and “ a heightening(提升)of life”.It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”.It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry.Those who don’t like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else.But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.1.To have a better understanding of a poem, one should________.A.discuss it with othersB.analyze it by oneself

C.copy it down in a notebookD.practise reading it aloud

2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry?

A.Extending your lifeB.Saving your life

C.Criticizing lifeD.Heightening life

3.According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students________.A.to understand life.B.to enjoy poetry.C.to become teachers.D.to become poets

4.What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?

A.More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.B.Poetry is more important than any other subject.C.One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry

D.Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses

5.The phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by

A.“build a booth”B.“provide equipment”

C.“leave a certain amount of time”D.“set aside enough space”

B

Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the learned in the early days of the history, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud.Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become popular.One should be careful, however, of supposing that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is distraction（分散注意力）to others.Examination of reasons connected with the historical development of silent reading shows that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.The last century saw a gradual increase in literacy（讀寫能力）and thus in the number of readers.As readers increased, so the number of listeners dropped, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud.As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the popularity of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, trains and offices, where reading aloud would disturb other readers in a way.Towards the end of the century there was still heated argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening.Indeed this argument remains with us still in education.However, whatever its advantages are, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and magazines for a specialized readership on the other.By the end of t he century students were being advised to have some new ideas of books and to use skills in reading them which were not proper, if not impossible, for the oral reader.The social, cultural, and technological developments in the century had greatly changed what the term

“reading” referred to.6.Why was reading aloud common before the nineteenth century?

A.Because silent reading had not been discovered.B.Because there were few places for private reading.C.Because few people could read for themselves.D.Because people depended on reading for enjoyment.7.The development of silent reading during the nineteenth century showed_______.A.a change in the position of literate people

B.a change in the nature of reading

C.an increase in the number of books

D.an increase in the average age of readers

8.Educationalists are still arguing about__________.A.the importance of silent reading

B.the amount of information provided by books and newspapers

C.the effects of reading on health

D.the value of different types of reading material

9.What is the writer of this passage attempting to do?

A.To explain how present day reading habits developed.B.To change people’s way to read.C.To show how reading methods have improved.D.To encourage the growth of reading.C

Sherlock Holmes is considered by many people as the greatest detective in fictional literature.He is, in fact, more famous than his own creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.In the popular series of stories, Holmes is described as “tall and lean, pope-smoking, always in his cape and speaks in a splendid manner”.Doyle gave Holmes’ address as 221-B Baker Street, London, and to this day some visitors to London still go to Baker Street to search for 221-B.Of course, there never was really any such address.Holmes’ flat was supposed to be shared by the lovable, but sometimes clumsy Doctor Watson who went around with Holmes trying to solve crimes before Holmes did.Poor Dr Watson lost out to Holmes every time.Doyle gave Holmes a masterly skill of deduction---the ability to come up with interesting conclusion from the simplest clues found at the scene of a crime.Doyle said that the description of Holmes was modeled on one of his lecturers at Edinburgh University where he studied medicine.That man was Dr Joseph Bell.Sherlock Holmes first appeared in Doyle’s A Study in Scarlet published in 1887.Holmes was so loved by all that when his author killed him off in one of his stories, readers wrote in anger to complain.They refused to allow Holmes to die!Holmes was brought back to “life” and appeared in further stories.The stories of Sherlock Holmes have been reprinted many times ever since then.Today we can watch Holmes at work on cinema and television screens as well as on stage.10.Sherlock Holmes was________.A.the greatest detective who ever lived

B.Dr Joseph Bell

C.Arthur Conan Doyle

D.only a character made up by Arthur Conan Dolye

11.Dr Watson was________.A.tall and learn

B.lovable but always clumsy

C.lovable but sometimes clumsy

D.lovable and never clumsy

12.Holmes was supposed to have lived_______.A.with Dr WatsonB.with Dr Joseph Bell

C.with the greatest detectiveD.with Doyle

13.Doyle made up the description of Holmes_______.A.from his own imagination

B.based on a famous London doctor

C.based on Dr Joseph Bell at Edinburgh University

D.based on a model of Holmes
