2017高考英语二轮复习高考Ⅰ卷题型重组第9组

第九组Ⅰ.阅读理解AThey already guide blind and disabled people；now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆) or Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing and drinking enough water.The dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers(触发器) in the home that make them perform tasks. The duties will include reminding their owners to take medicine, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep regularly.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheime's Scotland and Dogs for the Disabled. The first dogs will be distributed to four Scottish couples, where one of the partners is in the early stages of dementia. 670,000 people in Britain have dementia and one in three over 65 will develop the condition. By 2021 this is expected to rise to one million.Joyce Gray of Alzheimer's Scotland said, “People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal l ife, and dogs help to maintain routine.” Another advantage of using the pets as companions is that dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. Ms Gray said, “The evidence is that people may forget familiar faces but not pets. It's such a strong bond that people often remember them longest. People don't need to communicate verbally(口头上) but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond.”Helen McCain, director of Dogs for the Disabled, said, “People with dementia often forget to take medicine. If a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it there's a greater chance of them taking it. The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.”体裁：应用文题材：新闻报道主题：训练狗来帮助残疾人语篇导读：将狗加以培训以帮助那些盲人及残疾人已成为现实。

BIf there's one thing the British are good at, it's watching telly. You may think the Americans would beat us at that, but we've taken and turned it into an art form. Like most people, our favourite TV subject is ourselves, which has led to a number of shows aiming to be as British as possible. So if you want to learn how to be British, sit down to a few episodes of these distinctly British shows.DOCTOR WHOPolitical aside, Doctor Who owes its long television life not only to a brilliant central character, terrifying alien foes and intelligent scriptwriting, but also to a distinctly British way of doing things. If the Earth is the Doctor's favourite planet, it's clear that Britain is his favourite country.SHERLOCKThe global popularity of the modernized Sherlock Holmes series has proven yetagain that no amount of big blockbuster all－guns－blazing cop shows can compete with the reserved and sharp detective work of one of Britain's most well－loved characters. Benedict Cumberbatch has been rightly lauded for his depiction of the fast－thinking private eye, which has proven again we British are good at more than drinking tea.BLACKADDERSimilar to the Pythons, the brilliance of Blackadder is set in its genius application of witty and classically British humor. From the dulcet tones of lead man Rowan Atkinson to the clumsy sidekick Tony Robinson, there's no better show for telling what makes the British British and having a good laugh at it, including an entire season of pointing fun at the French, one of the most British activities.FRIENDSI know what you're thinking—Friends is an American show, about Americans' living in America! How can it be distinctly British? But perhaps you're not aware that, apart from Season 1, Friends is written entirely by British writers, and if you watch the first season in comparison to the others, the difference really shows. British sense of humor can't be replicated artificially. It's a fine art by a natural hand. As an English student, I figure—Friends is, and although they speak in American accents, a British！体裁：说明文题材：社会文化主题：透过英剧了解英国人语篇导读：本文通过介绍英国十分受欢迎的四部电视剧来分析真正的英国人到底是什么样子。
