湖南长沙市2016高考英语(二轮)阅读理解训练(33)及答案
阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
You’re sitting on the train home and the person opposite you yawns(打哈欠)。 Suddenly, you’re yawning with him, though you're not tired。
This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found
that people tend to sympathize with fellow humans。 Supporting this claim
was the discovery that those children who were unable to form normal
emotional ties with others did not experience contagious(有感染力的)
yawning, which showed that humans communicate regularly without
words.
Hugo Critchley, a neuroscientist, has conducted an experiment recently,
which will prove that happiness and sadness can spread like the common
cold. According to Critchley, our mind and body are in constant
exchange about how we’re feeling. “Emotions are closely linked with
states of internal(内部的) responses,” he explained。 “There are also
more visible changes in our gestures and facial expressions. When we’re
in a group, these signals can spread to another person. For example,
there’s the obvious tendency to smile when smiled at and there are less
obvious changes that reflect emotions of surprise, anger or sadness such as
a change in our heart rate and blood pressure.” 学必求其心得,业必贵于专精
Hugo Critchley further explained,
“Our bodies synchronise and when
we like the other person, we even copy his behavior。 Next time you chat
with a friend, take note of how you're sitting—it’s pretty likely that you
will be the same。 Scientists believe it’s our way of telling each other that
we're partners。 Through body language, humans give each other very
subtle(微妙的) but clear signals that show emotions.”
So, what lessons can we learn from this? “Spend time with happy
people—otherwise your health could suffer,” said Critchley. “When
we're sad, our body goes into fight or flight mode. But when we’re
happy, our body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive。 So we
look bright, our skin glows, we feel healthy and it affects everyone
around us.”
1. According to Hugo Critchley, .
A. emotions are as visible as facial expressions
B. we yawn more frequently when we have a cold
C。 emotions are connected with states of internal responses
D. the change of blood pressure is not linked with the change of emotions
2。 The underlined word “synchronise” in Paragraph 4 means
“ ”.
A。 move slowly B。 change rapidly 学必求其心得,业必贵于专精
C。 relax temporarily D. respond accordingly
3. From the passage we can learn .
A. sadness is as contagious as happiness
B. anger is less contagious than friendliness
C. surprise is more contagious than smile
D。 surprise is the most contagious among emotions
4. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Emotions have delicate influence on fellow humans。
B。 Children like copying the actions of fellow humans。
C。 Scientists are still confused about contagious yawning.
D。 People tend to communicate more with body language。

It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night。 The
morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air
and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.
My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my
sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my
thing, but I decided to go all the same。 I ’m so glad I did.
On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction
on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it
was protected by the arms of a bay that only one tiny channel to the sea.
As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(里脊)in the distance。
On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her
baby. We couldn’t believe it--—there aren’t any whales along the coast
here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in
which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.
The little baby whale——— actually as big as our boat-— was
obviously stuck and could not move。 The mother dived under the water
and camp up suddenly, making big whirlpools(旋涡)and waves. “ she's
trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,” my father said. At this
point , my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and,
heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our
several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under
water。 Then it swam up right beside its mum。 They struggled in their
desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the

A Myth
It is true that world population is growing, but this is not the cause of our current and future global problems. Believing this will cause us to ignore the real problem and risk long-term damage to our planet.
Let me start by explaining why overpopulation is a myth. For one thing, the UN Population Division regularly predicts population growth but provides a low variant (变量), medium variant, and high variant to factor in various possibilities. In the 2010 revision, their high variant suggests that the world population will be almost 16 billion in 2100, but the low variant predicts it will peak at 8 billion and decrease to just
over 6 billion by 2100. In most cases, it is the low variant that
has come true in the past, suggesting the same will be true of

As a solo artist, Brightman has sold 26 million albums and two million DVDs in 34
countries. Her musical styles put opera, pop and jazz together. She is popular in
the States but not here(Britain) – the image of her and her second husband, Andrew
Lloyd Webber (he much older, she his muse) seems for ever frozen. The 47-year-old
singer talks about the new album Symphony that came out of a "very dark time",
including her decision to give up trying to have children. "People have suggested
I could adopt," Brightman says. "But work is central to my life now. And so I am going

Most people agree that the direct, assertive(过分自信的) American personality is a virtue,
but it sometimes surprises foreigners. In many cultures, respect for older people or those in
positions of authority keeps others from expressing their true feelings. But in the U.S, children
often argue with their parents, students may disagree with their teachers, and citizens may express
opposition to the actions of the government. If the soup has a fly in it or the meat is too tough to
chew, the diner can complain to the waiter, if the boss makes a mistake, an employee will politely
point it out.
Some straight talk about the American character must include the admission that Americans
have their faults. The extremely competitive nature of Americans is probably their worst fault. Of
course, competition isn’t always bad. As a matter of fact, it promotes excellence by encouraging
