河南鄢陵2017高考英语十月阅读理解语法填空训练（10）及答案【2016模拟题】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

NASA has recently found a twin Earth in the Milky Way. Scientists said the planet was the closest to Earth that has been seen.Kepler 452b, which has been named Earth 2, is six billion years old. It has a 385-day year and orbits its star at the same distance as us. It is so like Earth that NASA believes it is possible that life once inhabited the planet. Kepler 452b is 60 percent larger in diameter (直径) than Earth. Scientists say that the planet received the same kind of sunshine as we do on Earth. Thus, plants could survive if taken to the planet.Since the planet is 1.5 billion years older than Earth, scientists say it can show a possible future for earth. “If Kepler 452b is indeed a rocky planets, its location could mean that it is just entering an uncontrollable greenhouse period of its climate history.” Said Doug Caldwell, a scientist working on the Kepler Mission.According to Caldwell, the increasing energy from its aging sun might be heating the surface and evaporating any oceans. Kepler 452b could be experiencing now what Earth will undergo more than a billion years from now, as the Sun ages and grows brighter.The discovery also gives new hope that alien(外星人) civilizations may exist beyond the Solar System. “We won’t be going to this planet but our children’s children’s children might be.” said Jeff Coughlin, another research scientist on the Kepler Mission.The Kepler space telescope (太空望远镜) has been looking for signs of new worlds outside the Solar System since May 2009, and has so far found more than 4,000 planets.But those planets are either too hot or too cold to sustain life.（注：Kepler Mission NASA 设计的发现类地行星的太空探索任务）1. The following statements about Kepler 452b (Earth 2) are all correct except________.A. It has existed for six billion years.B. It is 60% larger in diameter than the earth.C. It has already entered an uncontrollable greenhouse period of its climate historyD. It is the closest planet to the earth.2. The importance of the discovery of Earth2 lies in the fact that Earth2 ________.① can show a likely future for the earth② gives new hope that alien civilizations may exist beyond the Solar System③ proves that life once inhabited the planet④ proves that plants can survive on other planets apart from t he eartth.⑤ is going through now what the earth will undergo more than a billion years from nowA. ④⑤B. ①③C. ②④D. ①②3. What can we infer from the text?A. The earth has existed for about 4.5 billion years.B. Kepler 452b is one of the planets in the Milky Way.C. Doug Caldwel and Jeff Coughlin are both research scientists on the Kepler Mission.D. More than 4,000 planets outside the Solar System still cannot sustain life now.1. C. 细节理解题。

根据第三段中的“…its location could mean that it is just entering an uncontrollable greenhouse period of its climate history.”可知，“它的位置可能意味着它正在进入它的气候历史中不可控制的温室阶段”的说法只是一种推想，而不是已经进入了。

句中的“could”是关键词，它表明了一种假想的情况。

故答案为C项。

2. D. 细节理解题。

根据第三段第一句话和第五段第一句话可知，答案应为D项。

3. A. 推理判断题。

根据第二段第一句话“Kepler 452b, which has been named Earth 2, is six billion years old.”和第三段第一句话中的“Since the planet is 1.5 billion years older than Earth,…”可以推知答案应为A项。

即地球存在的时间是：（6 billion–1.5billion = 4.5 billion）年。

其余各项虽然表述是正确答，但都是原文直接提到的内容，不是推断出来的。

阅读理解。

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

Like many people you may be dreaming of a career as a rock and roll star. There are two ways to go about getting one. First there is the traditional way. Find some friends and form a group. Learn to play the guitar or the drums. Write your own songs. Spend hours arguing about the band name. Then go on the road.The next step is to spend a year or two touring. If you are good, the crowds will get bigger. In the end an artist from a record company may come to a show. If he or she likes you，there may be a deal. This is the route traditionally followed by bands in the music industry. Success means fame and wealth. And failure gives you some interesting stories to tell your children.Over the last few years a different path to success has become known. Boy bands like Boyzone and girl bands like the Spice Girls don't come together on their own.They are created by managers and record companies.Their image is strictly controlled. Professional song writers usually write their music. This is a convenient arrangement and the public seems to love the result.Though boy and girl bands have become very popular recently，there is a long tradition of making music in this way. In the early 1960's an American businessman called Berry Gordy founded Motown Records. Motown is short for “motor town”. The record company was based in the city of Detroit, where thousands of African-Americans had moved to work in the car industry. They brought with them a cultural tradition of writing and performing music. This style later became known as “soul music”. Berry Gordy was a diamond miner. He took raw talent from the street and polished it until it shone. Motown stars were not just given songs to sing. They were also taught how to dress well and speak properly.1．In the first paragraph the writer seems to tell us ________.A. to form a band is very hardB. the name of the band is very importantC. newly-built bands can only perform by roadD. to form a band is very simple答案：D推断题。
