3．阅读理解

It's hard to turn down a tasty banana. They taste good and you don't have to wash them before eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.

One reason for this is climate（气候） change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data（数据）from 27 countries and regions that produce 86 percent of the world's bananas. They found that climate change has improved growing conditions in 21 of these countries. In the past 60 years, the average yield（平均产量） has reached 1.37 tons of bananas per hectare（公顷）.

However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of the countries, including India, the world's biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out.

Shouldn't bananas grow more easily if it's hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature range for growing bananas is between 24 and 32 C. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing.

Diseases are another danger to bananas. Unlike other crops, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings（茎段）rather than seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype（基因型）. In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all.

One serious disease is called Panama. Caused by fungus（真菌） in the soil, it spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation（种植园）suffers from the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Scientists have yet to find a cure for this disease.

（1）What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. People's love for bananas.

B. The taste of bananas.

C. The convenience of eating bananas.

D. The future disappearance of bananas.

（2）What might happen if temperatures keep going higher?

A. More countries will start to grow bananas.

B. Bananas will grow better in most countries.

C. Bananas will not be able to grow any more.

D. Bananas won't be as tasty as before.

（3）What does Paragraph 5 tell us?

A. What diseases bananas may suffer from.

B. How bananas are grown.

C. How diseases can easily kill bananas.

D. Which diseases can kill bananas.

（4）The passage is written to ________.

A. offer tips for growing bananas

B. explain why bananas may die out

C. show the difficulties of growing bananas

D. describe bananas' growing conditions

【答案】（1）D

（2）C

（3）C

（4）B

【解析】【分析】主要讲了香蕉可能消失的原因。

（1）推断题。根据前句However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.可知介绍了香蕉可能消失的原因，所以this代指香蕉消失，故选D。

（2）细节题。根据However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of the countries, including India, the world's biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out可知温度持续上升，香蕉将更少，最终可能消失，即不能生长，故选C。

（3）细节题。根据Diseases are another danger to bananas.可知疾病是香蕉的另一个危险，即疾病是怎样杀死香蕉的，故选C。

（4）主旨题。根据全文可知主要讲了香蕉可能消失的原因，故选B。

【点评】考查阅读理解。本文涉及细节题、推断题和主旨题三种常考题型，细节题要注意从文中寻找答案；推断题需要联系上下文，推断出需要的信息；主旨题需要通读全文，了解大意之后找出中心思想。

The Internet is just like a net, and it connects us with the world. In the past, it was nearly impossible for people to communicate immediately with people in other countries. They had to spend a long time to reach their destinations （目的地）, and not everyone could do that. But the Internet has made the impossible possible. Now we can communicate with foreigners online.

The Internet also helps us know what is happening around the world, and has made our life and work easier. In recent years, shopping online is very popular. We can just stay at home and buy what we need online. We can also do online office work and distance education. Besides, we can watch movies, listen to music and even play games to relax ourselves on the Internet.

So, I think that the Internet is one of the greatest inventions. It has changed our world! Although there are still many problems with the Internet, they will be solved in the near future. As a student we should make good use of the Internet!

7．阅读理解

Do stars only appear at night? The answer is no .Venus （金星） is the one and only star that can be seen in the daytime. It shone at its brightest in the night sky on February 17th, 2017.

Venus is the second planet from the sun in our solar system. It is the second brightest natural object, behind Earth's moon, in the night sky. Why is it so bright?

First of all, Venus is the closest planet to Earth. It is also covered by highly reflective （反射的）clouds, which can reflect about 70 percent of the sunlight striking（照射） it, almost twice as much as Earth does.

Some called 2017 the year of Venus, because the planet is at its brightest when it goes further away from the sun, and nearer to Earth. The brightest moment happened once in February, and happened again, during daylight, on April 30th.

If Venus is so bright and close to us, isn't it a better choice for human exploration than Mars? It is closer to Earth than Mars and it's closer to Earth in size. The closer distance to the sun means solar power would be easier to generate （产生） as well.

However, with a temperature of about 465℃on the surface, Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system!

But scientists never give up. Recently, a team of NASA and Russian scientists created new computer equipment that can stand the temperature of 480℃. It can work under Venus-like conditions for almost 22 days.

The next step, according to the scientists, is to send a probe（探测器）to Venus by 2025.（1）Which of the following about Venus is NOT true?

A. It's the only star that can be seen in the daytime.

B. It's the second planet from the sun.

C. It's the brightest natural object in the night sky.

D. It's the closest planet to Earth.

（2）Venus is at its brightest when .

A. it can reflect about 35 percent of the sunlight

B. it goes further away from the sun and nearer to Earth

C. it is closest to the sun and furthest from Earth

D. the dates are February 17th and April 30th every year

（3）What makes Venus a worse place for human exploration than Mars?

A. The closer distance to Earth.

B. The similar size to Earth.

C. Too much solar power to use.

D. The extremely high temperature.

（4）According to the last two paragraphs, the new computer equipment .

a. was created by some UK scientists

b. can stand the temperature of 480℃

c. can work for about 22 days under Venus-like conditions

d. will be sent to Venus by 2025

A. ab

B. bc

C. cd

D. ad

【答案】（1）C

（2）B

（3）D

（4）B

【解析】【分析】短文大意：这篇短文讲的是金星是唯一一颗在白天可以看到的星星。今年2月17日，它在夜空中最亮。金星是太阳的第二颗行星。在夜空中，它是地球月亮后面第二亮的自然物体。为什么这么亮？首先，金星是离地球最近的行星。它也被高度反射的云层覆盖，这些云层可以反射大约70%的阳光，几乎是地球的两倍。它比火星里地球近。金星是太阳系最热的行星。科学家从未放弃研究金星。到2025年科学家将发射探测器到金星。

（1）细节理解题。根据 It is the second brightest natural object, behind Earth's moon, in the night sky. 在夜空中，它是第二最亮的自然体，可知选项C叙述和文章不符，故选C。

（2）细节理解题。根据Some called 2017 the year of Venus, because the planet is at its brightest when it goes further away from the sun, and nearer to Earth. 一些人称2017年是金星年，因为这个行星最亮了当它远离太阳，离地球较近时。故选B。

（3）细节理解题。根据 However, with a temperature of about 465℃on the surface, Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system! 然而，它表面的温度是465度，金星是太阳系最热的行星。可知是它的高温使得它比火星更难探索。故选D。

（4）细节理解题。根据Recently, a team of NASA and Russian scientists created new computer equipment that can stand the temperature of 480℃. It can work under Venus-like conditions for almost 22 days.和according to the scientists, is to send a probe（探测器）to Venus by 2025.可知b,c，d三点的叙述是正确的，故选B。

8．阅读理解

Need to buy something? Why go to a store? Buy it on the Internet! Need it now? Why wait? Ask for next-day delivery（投递）! Each day, more and more people try online shopping. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists say online shopping is bad for the environment.

People are surprised to hear this. "They think, 'I don't need to drive, and the business doesn't need to build a store, so there will be less pollution,'" says Nuria Prost, an environmental scientist.

"In fact, online shopping is wasteful. It also adds to air pollution."

In truth, the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems. In the past, people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material, such as books and clothing. But now people also shop online for large, heavy products such as televisions, computers, and furniture. These products need to be packed in large amounts of plastic and paper, which creates a lot of waste.

Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask for next-day delivery, companies have to send them by air.

Planes use much more fuel（燃料）than cars and produce more carbon dioxide（CO2）. When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses, this creates even more travel by plane.

Online product returns are also a problem. For example, an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes without extra pay if they are the wrong size. This doubles the packing material and number of plane trips required to sell one pair of shoes.

"People need to ask themselves: Is this exactly what want? Do I really need it tomorrow, or can

I wait?" says Prost, "Online shopping is fast and easy but we can't forget the negative effects it has on the environment."

（1）According to the passage, Nuria Prost .

A. loves to shop online very much

B. pays close attention to environment

C. sells products on a online store

D. doesn't like to drive to work

（2）The third paragraph mainly shows that .

A. shopping on the Internet is good for the environment

B. people preferred to buy large things on the Internet

C. books and clothing don't need much packing material

D. too much packing material can cause lots of waste

（3）According to the passage, the companies meet the needs of the next-day delivery by .

A. sending the products by air

B. selling different things online

C. getting more workers to pack

D. offering customers more products

（4）Which is the best title for this passage?

A. A Good Deal to Make?

B. A Cool Lifestyle to Keep?

C. A Green Way to Shop?

D. A New Business to Start?

【答案】（1）B

（2）D

（3）A

（4）C

【解析】【分析】文章大意：这篇文章主要介绍了越来越多的人尝试网上购物。事实上，网上销售在过去的十年里翻了一番。但并不是每个人都很兴奋。一些科学家现在认为，网上购物对环境有害。人们听到这个很惊讶，他们认为，"我不需要开车，业务交易不需要建立一个商店，所以将会有更少的污染，"环境科学家努力亚说，"但这并不是那么简单。事实上，网上购物是浪费。它也增加了空气污染。"事实上，互联网并不总是看起来对环境那么好。"网上购物方便快捷，"普罗斯特说，"但是我们不能忘记对环境的负面影响。"

（1）细节理解题。根据Some scientists say online shopping is bad for the environment.可知，科学家认为网购对环境有害，所以作者应该关心的是环境问题，故选B。

（2）主旨大意题。根据These products need to be packed in large amounts of plastic and paper, which creates a lot of waste.可知，产品需要塑料包装，所以造成了浪费，故选D。（3）细节题。根据When customers buy products and ask for next-day delivery, companies have to send them by air.可知，顾客急需货物，卖家会空运，故选A。

（4）主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要讲绿色购物的方式问题，故选C。

9．阅读理解

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others Believe that success mostly Comes down to luck. I'm not going to say luck, talent, and Circumstances（境遇）don't Come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are Born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of how life is.

However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then make it more practical. And, vesides that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10, 000 hours studying and practising. To vecome great at certain things, it'll require even more time, which most people won't put in.

This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you give up before you ever become good at it.

When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there. It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were Born with some unusual talent, But thinking that way does you no good, and there's a huge Chance that you're wrong anyway.

No matter what you do, if you want to Become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction（入迷）, and over a long period of time. If you're not willing to

put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Hard work won't guarantee（保证）you the level of success you may want, But it will guarantee that you will Become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.

（1）Paragraph 1 mainly talks about __________.

A. the reasons for success

B. the meaning of success

C. the standards of success

D. the importance of success

（2）The underlined word" that" refers to __________.

A. putting in more time

B. succeeding in life

D. setting a practical goal

（3）Successful people suggest doing what one loves Because __________.

A. work makes him feel pain

B. he is likely to enjoy his work

C. he gives up his work easily

D. it takes a lot of time to succeed

A. To explain that luck or talent leads to success.

B. To tell us that one cannot succeed without time and practice.

C. To show us that having a goal is the main reason to success.

D. To describe that successful people like to show their great skills.

【答案】（1）A

（2）D

（3）B

（4）B

【解析】【分析】本文是介绍成功的关键因素不是天赋、出身或运气，而是设定一个符合实际的目标，然后为此不断地努力、付出。巨大的努力也许无法确保你想要的成功，但是你为之付出的（领域）一定会成为你的优势所在。

10．阅读理解

When you enter my home for the first time, you will always be impressed with a small and white envelope（信封）. No name, no address. It has hung on our Christmas tree for about 10 years.

It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas. He didn't hate the true meaning of Christmas, but the commercial（商业的） way of it, spending too much on the usual Christmas gifts, such as rushing into a store to buy a tie for Uncle Harry.

Knowing he felt this way, I decided not to buy the usual gifts, such as shirts and sweaters. I reached for something special for Mike. The idea came in an unusual way.

Our son Kevin, 12, was wrestling（摔跤） at the school. Before Christmas there was a match against a team helped by a city church, mostly poor kids. As the match began, I was surprised to see the other team wrestling only wearing the old clothes because they couldn't afford the wrestling uniforms, while our boys in their blue and gold uniforms. Of course, we ended up with beating them.

Mike, seated beside me, shook his head sadly," I wish just one of them could have won. In fact, they could if they had worn the uniforms. They have talent for wrestling, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them."

Mike loved kids-all kids and he knew them, having trained kids football and baseball. At that time, I thought of the idea for the gift.

That afternoon, I went to a store and bought some wrestling uniforms and sent them to the city church for the kids without leaving my name.

On Christmas Eve, I put the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and telling him that this was his gift from me. His smile was the greatest thing about Christmas that year and the next years.

You see, we lost Mike now. But every Christmas Eve I would put an envelope on the tree, and in the morning, three more joined it. Each of our children had secretly put an envelope on the tree for their dad.

Mike's spirit, like the Christmas spirit, will always be with us.

12．阅读理解

What can we learn from the special, very successful people in the world who make the impossible possible?

Lesson 1: Ways of creative thinking are needed

Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg both dropped out of college. They prefer to teach themselves because they like to develop their own ways of thinking. They think standard ways of teaching might stop people from being creative and having new ideas.

Lesson 2: The answer might not be what you expect

Find your answers from facts-not start with an expectation of what you will find. Stephen Jacobsen from Northwestern University believed what he was taught: that water on the Earth came from icy comets（封星）or planets which hit into the Earth.

However, by studying a special rock, he discovered that it acts like a sponge. This suggests that the Earth's water may have come from inside, driven to the surface to form the oceans, by geological activities.

"I had a pretty hard time making others believe it," he said." But think about the fact that you may be the first person to see something for the first time that doesn't happen very often. When it does, it's amazing."

Lesson 3: A little luck goes a long way

Years of planning went into a recent achievement in space travel. The European Space Agency's "Philae", a robot landing craft, met up with Comet 67P, which is 480 million kilometres away. The trip from the Earth by "Philae" had taken ten years!

The scientists had no idea what the surface of the comet would be like. If the landing failed, it would be impossible to get information from the spacecraft. Twenty years of work would have been wasted.

When "Philae" tried to land, it bounced（弹起）away from the comet's icy surface twice. Luckily, however, "Philae" landed successfully and began sending information back to the Earth.（1）Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg didn't finish college because .

A. they preferred to learn by themselves

B. they needed standard ways of teaching

C. their teachers didn't like their new ideas

D. their teachers weren't able to teach them

（2）In Lesson 2, the writer mainly wants to tell us that .

A. we should get answers from facts

B. we can believe what we are taught

C. it's hard to make others believe something

D. an expectation can help get an answer in research

（3）The example "Philae" in Lesson 3 shows that .

A. Comet 67P is not far away from the Earth

B. it took"Philae"20 years to reach Comet 67P

C. "Philae" landed on Comet 67P with a little luck

D. scientists knew nothing about the surface of Comet 67P

（4）The best title for this passage is " ".

A. Ways of discovering

B. Lessons for success

C. Ways of being special

D. Lessons for experiments

【答案】（1）A

（2）A

（3）C

（4）B

【解析】【分析】文章大意：我们能从世界上那些使不可能的事情成为可能的特别的、非常成功的人身上学到什么呢？第一要有需要创造性思维的方式；第二从事实中找出你的答案，而不是从对你将要找到的东西的期望开始。第三要有一点点运气，从事实中找出你的答案，而不是从对你将要找到的东西的期望开始。

（1）细节理解题，根据Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg both dropped out of college. They prefer to teach themselves可知，比尔盖茨和马克扎克伯格喜欢自学，所以退学，故答案是A。

（2）主旨大意题，根据Find your answers from facts-not start with an expectation of what you will find. 可知，第二课主要说的是要从事实中找答案，故答案是A。

（3）逻辑推理题，根据第三颗主要说的是要有点运气，但是彗星67P上环境如何无人知道，成功与否无人知道，这就需要一点运气了，故答案是C。

（4）标题判断题，根据文章内容可知，这三课都是从成功那里学到的，也是为了成功，故答案是B。

14．阅读理解

Playing video games and getting money for it seems like a dream job for many of today's teenagers. But is it all fun and games?

Big business

Pro （professional）gaming is certainly big business. In 2017, there were more than 3,000 gaming competitions and over 10,000 professional players worldwide. A large number of people watch their competitions online, and successful gamers can get more than 1,000,000 dollars from prize money and ads. The industry is clearly thriving.

What it takes

Becoming a professional is not just about being good at playing games- it also takes a lot of hard work. Some pro gamers practice for fourteen hours a day. "You need to spend much time and put all your efforts to it", says ex-gamer George

Not all fun and games

It can be a difficult job as well. Stress is a big problem for gamers. Tiredness is another, and injuries（受伤）are common. Top player Hai Lam had wrist（手腕）problems after years of pro gaming. Careers（生涯）are short, and many gamers retire （退休） before they are 30 and
