辽宁辽阳县2016高考英语阅读理解(二轮)选练(3)及答案
辽宁辽阳县2016高考英语阅读理解（二轮)选练（3）及答案故事记叙型阅读理解(一)One Tuesday evening in the beginning of the fall 1996 semester (学期）at Shippensburg University，sirens(警报) sounded。
These sirens were not in celebration; they were a cry to the university that something was wrong.A house, only one block away, was on fire。
Nine of the university’s students lived there。
From the minute the word got out that help was needed，it seemed like everyone showed up.The victims (受灾者) of the fire were offered endless invitations for housing for the night.The very next day，everyone got_into_gear to do their part in helping them。
Flyers(＝handbills) wereposted with items that were immediately needed，just to get these students through this next couple of days。
Boxes for donations (捐赠品）and money jars were placed in every residence hall (学生宿舍)．As a residence director, I went before the students in my hall to ask them to do what they could.I knew that college students don’t have much，but I asked them to do their best：“Every little bit will help.” I really didn't think they could do much.I was proved wrong.At the hall council meeting the night after the fire，my residents decided to have a wing competition，where each wing of the building would team up to see who could bring in the most donations.I announced that the wing who won would receive a free pizza party.Thursday evening we announced over the PA system that we were beginning the wing competition。

- 1 - 辽宁辽阳县2016高考英语阅读理解(二轮)选练（1） 社会文化（阅读理解） 一 (2013四川绵阳高三第二次诊断性考试)改编 Although his one-year-old smart-phone still works perfectly,Li Jijia already feels the need to replace it. “There are many better ones available now.It’s time to upgrade(更新)my phone.” Li’s impatience is shared by many.Shortly after the season when new products are released,many consumers feel the urge to upgrade their electronic equipment,even though the ones they have still work just fine. As consumers’minds are occupied by Apple’s newly released products and debate whether the Google tablet is better than the new Amazon Kindle,it might be time to take a step back and ask: “Do we really need the latest upgrades?” According to Donald Norman,an American author,“planned obsolescence (淘汰)” is the trick behind the upgrading culture of today’s consumer electronics industry. Electronics producers strategically release new upgrades periodically,both for hardware and software,so that customers on every level feel the need to buy the newest version. “This is an old-time trick—they’re not inventing anything new,”Norman said.“This is a wasteful system through which companies—many of them producing personal electronics—release poor-quality products simply because they know that,in six months or a year,they’ll put out a new one.” But the new psychology of consumers is part of this system,as Norman admitted,“We now want something new,something pretty,the next shiny thing.” In its most recent year,Apple’s profit margin was more than 21 percent.At Hewlett-Packard,the world’s biggest PC maker,it was only 7 percent. Apple’s annual upgrades of its products create sales of millions of units as owners of one year’s MacBook or iPhone line up to buy the newest version,even when the changes are slight. As to Li Jijia,the need for upgrading his smart-phone comes mainly from friends - 2 -
and classmates.When they are switching to the latest equipment,he worries about feeling left out. “Some games require better hardware to run,” said Li.“If you don’t join in,you lose part of the connection to your friends.” 1.What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s greed for new products?( ) A.Supportive. B.Optimistic. C.Critical. D.Unclear. 2.How do the electronics companies successfully promote their latest products?( ) A.They make full use of the “planned obsolescence” strategy. B.They make a fool of customers by recycling their old products. C.They control the customers’way of thinking while shopping. D.They invent new products to attract the youth like Li Jijia. 3.Why is Apple Company interested in producing latest version of its products?( ) A.To provide customers with better service.
