山西保德县2017高考英语一轮阅读理解基础题（一）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。
Top lists a re lecturing people on everything from “100 places to visit” to “100 books to read”. Aren't you just tired of being told what to do with your time?Now you have a list to end all lists!Take a look at the following two examples from the list of “101 things not to do”： Swim with Dolphins(海豚)?Swimming with dolphins is one of the world's most profitable tourist activities.However, not every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water. Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨)．Here's a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they're just opening their mouths.Go to See the Mona Lisa?There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的) smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can't all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying, standing in front of you; holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn't just be smiling, she'd be laughing.So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die.1. According to the passage, swimming with dolphins ________.A. is the world's most popular tourist activityB. gives fun to both tourists and dolphinsC. will make tourists busy and tiredD. can cause danger to dolphins2. What does the author think about going to see Mona Lisa?A. It is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile.B. It is not as satisfying as expected.C. Fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough.D. Queuing for hours is worthwhile.3. The list of “101 things not to do” is made most probably because its author ________.A. thinks it boring to do the things suggested by other listsB. believes other lists are not humorous enoughC. intends to persuade people to read more listsD．wants to provide a list different from other lists4. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To advertise a book.B. To introduce a website.C. To comment on popular lists.D. To recommend tourist activities.【要点综述】该篇短文前面否定“100 lists to do”的种种弊端，最后推出自己的101 Things NOT to DoBefore You Die，很明显是一则常见的广告。

The baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert（警觉）. Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝视）starts to lose its focus--until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise（同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots. 1．Babies are sensitive to the change in _______.A. the size of cardsB. the colour of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects2．Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of the experimentB. To see how babies recognize soundsC. To carry their experiment furtherD. To keep the babes interest.3．Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fictionB. Children’s literatureC. An advertisementD. A science report参考答案1—3、DCD试题分析：本文属于科学研究类的短文，研究婴儿对于外界声音和变化的反应。

【2014·高三巩固性训练】More men are finding their calling as nurses.A new study from the United States Census Bureau reports the number of male nurses has doubled since the 1970s.Back then，about 2.7 percent of registered nurses were men.The new study，which tracked data through 2011，finds that men now make up 9.6 percent of all employed nurses in the United States—about 330,000 men in total.Recent years of shortages have led to increased efforts，according to the report，which included recruiting men into the field.Men，in fact，had been largely kept out of nursing in past decades because nursing schools often refused to admit men.The Supreme Court ruled that practice unconstitutional in 1981 after a case involving a state nursing school.“The relatively high wages and expanding job opportunities make this field attractive，offering stability even during recessions (经济衰退)，” wrote the report’s author，Liana Christin Landivar of the US Census Bureau.“And because of high demand，nursing has low unemployment rates compared to other fields.”Men were found to be more likely to become nurse anesthetists (麻醉师)，which is the highest paid nursing occupation，and were found least likely to become licensed practical or licensed vocational nurses，the lowest paid types of nursing.Nurse anesthetists are required to get graduate education，and are certified to give anesthetists and monitor patients recovering from anesthesia.Licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses provide patients with care and may work under the supervision (监督) of a registered nurse.Registered nurses assess patients’ he alth problems and needs，develop and carry out nursing care plans，maintain medical records，and administer care.For all types of nursing，men earned，on average，$60,700 per year，while women earned $51,100 per year.“Even among men and women in the same nursing occupations，men outearn women，” wrote Landivar.1．Which of the following is true about nurses in the US in the 1970s?A．The number of male nurses doubled.B．About 2.7% of registered nurses were men.C．There were about 330,000 male nurses.D．About 9.6% of employed nurses were men.2．The underlined word “recruiting” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”．A．helping people to get used toB．ordering people to learnC．asking people to join inD．inspiring people to devote3．Why are more men willing to become nurses in the US?A．The economy is in bad condition.B．More people are out of employment.C．It is promising to go to nursing schools.D．It’s easier to get employed and well paid.4．According to the text，male nurses are more likely to________.A．become licensed practical nursesB．devote themselves to workC．graduate from nursing schoolsD．get the highest paid nursing occupation5．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A．Men are more likely to be better nurses.B．As nurses，men earn more than women.C．Male nurses work harder than female ones.D．Male and female nurses do different jobs.语篇解读本文为说明文，主要介绍了男护士的就业情况。

Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia（蒙古）, some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud burp（打饱嗝儿）after you finish eating. Burping would show that you like your food. In some countries, if you give a big burp, you are told to say “Excuse me, please”.In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show their good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat.What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you.

Can you imagine being savagely attacked by a dog? What if the attack was so severe that your nose, lips and chin were completely destroyed? How would you feel about yourself? Would you be able to look at yourself in the mirror? And how do you think other people would treat you?Isabelle Dinoire is someone who can answer all of these questions honestly and openly.Last November Isabelle was attacked and mauled by her own dog. The attack was so severe that her lower face was damaged; it seemed, almost beyond repair. She was rushed to hospital and became the first person ever to have a face transplant.With such severe injuries doctors offered Isabelle little hope that they would be able to repair the damage to her face using conventional surgery.Shortly after being admitted, she came to the attention of Dr Bernard Devauchelle who, unlike other surgeons, believed there was an alternative: "We found ourselves saying, yes, it's clear this woman needs a transplant," he said.Two days after the operation she saw her face in the mirror for the first time．She said, "I was scared to look at myself, but when I did it was already marvelous and I couldn't believe it．I thought it would be blue and swollen but it was already beautiful．"Now, less than a year after her 15-hour operation, she' s trying to rebuild her life and there is no doubt how she feels about her new face: "I have been saved．Lots of people write saying that I need to go on, that it' s wonderful．It' s a miracle somehow．"Although there were ethical questions raised about their decision to carry out the procedure, the doctors who operated on Isabelle are quick to defend their decision．One of them said, "Was it possible for her to live without a face? It's easy to say we shouldn’t have done the operat ion, but her life has changed, she goes shopping, goes on holiday, she lives again．1．What would be the best title of the passage?A．A Face Operation B．The First Face TransplantC．The Most Severe Damaged Face D．The Breakthrough of Surgery2．The writer uses the five questions at the beginning of the passage to ______．A．tell the story about Isabelle Dinoire B．show a severe face damage eventC．invite the readers to answer them D．draw the readersattention to the topic3．It can be concluded from Isabelle Dinoire' s remarks thatA．she was satisfied with the result of the operationB．she was too shocked to see herself in the mirrorC．she thought her damaged face couldn’t be repairedD．she looked more beautiful than before参考答案1---3 BDA阅读理解。

【2014·高三年级模拟考试】Many people think of the brain as a mystery.They don’t know much about intelligence and how it works.When they do think about what intelligence is，many people believe that a person is born smart，average，or dumb—and stays that way in the whole life.But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle—it changes and gets stronger when you use it.And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn.Everyone knows that when you lift weights，your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.A person who can’t lift 20 pounds when he/she starts exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time.That’s because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise.And when you stop exercising，the muscles shrink and you get weaker.That’s why people say “Use it or lose it！”But most people don’t know that when they practice and learn new things，parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise.Inside the cortex (皮层) of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells，called neurons.The nerve cells have branches connecting them to other cells in a complicatedmunication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems.When you learn new things，these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger.The more you challenge your mind to learn，the more your brain cells grow.Then，things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do—like speaking a foreign language or doing algebra (代数)—seem to become easy after learning them for a period of time.The result is a stronger，smarter brain.Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals’ brains.They found out that animals that lived in a challenging environment were more “perspicacious”—they were better at solving problems and learning new things.1. According to the first paragraph，________.A．the function of our brain is like that of the muscleB．until now it’s impossible to explain the brain’s mystery C．many people believe one’s intelligence is naturally determined D．one’s brain grows stronger as the age increases2．Training muscles is compared to________.A．using the brainB．connecting things in your brainC．lifting weightsD．doing research about the brain3．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The complex structure of the brain.B．How changes in the muscles affect the brain.C．The importance of the brain.D．How the brain becomes stronger by learning new things.4．What does the underlined word “perspicacious” in the last paragraph probably mean?A．Strong. B．Smart.C．Popular. D．Active.5．The following paragraph will most probably talk about________.A．the differences between animals’ brains and humans’ brainsB．the relation between human brains and musclesC．scientists’ findings about animals’ brainsD．how to make your brain smarter through selfdevelopment语篇解读科学研究发现，经常学习能促进大脑的发育，正如经常锻炼能使肌肉更强健一样。

Many cities have subways and underground public transportation to take locals and tourists alike rapidly around the city．However, there’s something different about riding a Lo ndon subway．It may not look different, but the historical value of one of England’s most popular forms of transportation is enough to make riding the subway a must when visiting London．With a little under 100 different stations, the subway can take you almost anywhere you need to go．Riding a London subway, a person from other countries will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other．In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times．That’s not rudeness ― people are just too busy to bother looking．Busy doing wh at, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet thinking．Nor are they reading a book．New technology has replaced quiet habits．Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book．Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters（使用月票上下班者）．Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000―yes, that’s 40,000 “apps” have been designed．Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers．One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks．Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination．iSteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone．You can then write in the “steam” on your phon e screen．For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction（消遣）of choice．It’s not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music－iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages．And if games, e-b ooks and music aren’t e nough to keep you occupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV shows or films on the way to work．With all these distractions, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train．1．Those who want to save time to reach where they go can download ______ to their iPhones．A．iShoot B．Tube Exits C．iSteam D．iPod2．People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because ______．A．they are going to work and have no time to communicate with each otherB．they love reading books and do not want to be disturbedC．they feel sleepy because of getting up earlyD．they are busy playing games, reading e-books, listening to music or watching films3．The un derlined word “apps” in the fourth paragraph means ______．A．computers B．programs downloaded for the iPhoneC．computer companies D．fortune from London commuters4.．The main idea of the passage is that ______．A．London commuters are unfriendly to strangersB．Apple has earned a lot of money from selling 40,000 appsC．technology is changing how London commuters spend their traveling timeD．riding a London subway is a must when visiting London1.B细节理解题。

After a terrible electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a plough and a wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.1.The reason for Robert’s attemp ts to kill himself was that _________.A. a terrible traffic accident happened to himB. he had to live in a dark and silent worldC. he was struck by the lightning once moreD. nobody in the world cared about him2.What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?A. Sheltering from the rain under a tree.B. Driving a car.C. Taking a walk with a stick.D. Lying on the ground.3.We can infer from the text that ________.A. there was no accurate explanation for Robert’s recoveryB. many doctors came because Robert was badly injuredC. Robert’s wife sent for doctors immediately after the shockD. a sudden injury in the head led to Robert’s recovery4.What’s the best title of the whole passage?A. A Terrible Electrical AccidentB. Robert Edwards and His WifeC. What a Sudden ShockD. An Unforgettable Experience参考答案1—4 BAAC2016高考英语阅读理解--政治经济文化类Americans get some of their news and entertainment from public television and radio. These public media receive money to operate from private citizens, organizations and government. Many of their programs are educational. But most of the American media are run by businesses for profit. These privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years. Newspapers, magazines and traditional broadcast television organizations have lost some of their popularity. At the same time, online, cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength. So have media that serve racial groups and those communicating in foreign languages.In general, more media than ever now provide Americans with news and entertainment. At the same time, fewer owners control them. Huge companies have many holdings(股份). In some areas, one company controls much of the media. One dramatic change in American media is the increased success of cable television. It comes into most homes over wires. It does not use the public airwaves to present programs, as broadcast television does. Like broadcast television, most cable television programs perform advertisements. This is true although people must pay to see cable television in their homes. Thirty years ago, few people had cable. Today, about sixty-eight percent of American homes have cable television. Television by satellite also is gaining popularity.Over the years, traditional broadcast organizations have tried to appeal to as many watchers as possible. Many cable companies, however, present programs for one special group of viewers. For example, there are cable stations for people who like books, cooking, travel, golf or comedy.【小题1】Which of the following is true about American public media? A．They depend on the government.B．They are controlled by the governmentC．They are freeD．They can earn money.【小题2】Which of the following properly shows the change in these privately owned media?A．Newspapers are getting more popular.B．Satellite media is getting more popular.C．Traditional media also serve racial groups.D．Some media make their programs in foreign languages【小题3】From the second paragraph, we learn that .A．broadcast TV and cable TV programs include sales messagesB．more media are out of controlC．American media is dramaticD．cable TV is free【小题4】What would be the best title for the text?A．American news and entertainmentB．Public television and radio mediaC．media in the United StatesD．Cable programs in the United States2016高考英语阅读理解--政治经济文化类While working in Southeast Asia in the mid 1990’s, I became a branch manager in a factory. At the beginning, I used human relations principles, such as putting myself into the others place to help gain trust. After a few months, I was told that the factory team members liked and trusted me.Then the owner, seeing how everyone thought well of me, believed that I could become an instrument of change to carry out his several unpopular programs. The factory members resisted and eventually saw me as a puppet controlled by the owner. The more I insisted th at they ‘follow orders’ the more they found ways to weaken the new changes.Finally, I was replaced by a manager who knew enough to please both masters. Even though the owner did not like the fact that his new changes were not immediately applied, the new manager gained his power by the support received from his team together with an intention to find a way. What I learned was that your team must always see you as supportive of their needs, even to the extent that the owner may not be pleased that you are unable to follow their wishes. At the end of the day, if your people do not follow you then you are no longer in charge and will be replaced.At first I blamed my boss for putting me in such a position. Then in honest reflection, I began to realize that he had probably hoped that I would have found some middle ground. What I could have done was to first obtain their advice about why they did not wish to follow the new policy changes, and then I should have used my influence with both the owner and team members to find a better way.Though, in fact it is a painful lesson for me, it has served me well along my career path!【小题1】What can we learn from the passage?A．Obeying is the best quality.B．Giving is always a pleasure.C．Appreciating others will benefit a lot.D．Dealing with relationship is important.【小题2】The underlined word “puppet” has the similar meaning to.A．instrument B．assistantC．wretch D．winner【小题3】Which is the right order according to the passage?a. He was removed from his position.b. He got on poorly with the coworkers.c. He carried out the orders of the owner.d. He became a branch manager.f. He was believed in not only by coworkers but leaders.A．a, b, d, c, f B．f, d, c, b, aC．d, f, c, b, a D．d, c, f, b, a【小题4】From the third paragraph we can infer that .A．the new manager carried out the programs at onceB．the new manager got on badly with workersC．workers need to be recognized and supportedD．you should make full use of your power【云南省昆明市2014一模试卷】CWindbreaks are barriers ( 屏障) formed by trees and other plants. Farmers plant these barriers around their fields, which help prevent the loss of soil, stop the wind from blowing soil away. They also keep the wind from damaging or destroying crops. Besides, extra trees and plants can be cut down and used or sold for wood.Windbreaks can be highly valuable for protecting grain crops. For example, in parts of West Africa grain harvests were as much as twenty percent higher in fields protected by windbreaks compared to fields without them. But here is something interesting about windbreaks. They seem to work best when they allow some wind to pass through the barrier of trees or plants around a field. If not, then the movement of air close to the ground will lift the soil. Then the soil will be blown away. For this reason, a windbreak works best if it contains only 60 to 80 percent of the trees and plants that would be needed to make a solid line. An easy rule to remember is that windbreaks can protect areas up to 10 times the height of the tallest trees in the windbreak.There should be at least two lines in each windbreak. One line should be large trees. The second line, right next to it, can be shorter trees or other plants with leaves. Locally grown trees and plants are considered the best choices for windbreaks. Trees reduce the damaging effects of wind and rain. Their roots help protect soil from being washed away. And trees can provide animals outdoors with shade from the sun.9. The advantages of building a windbreak are as follows except _____.A. keeping the wind from destroying grain cropsB. increasing the production of grain harvestsC. providing humans with shade from the sunD. reducing the damaging effects of wind and rain10. The author thinks windbreaks are interesting because ______.A. the movement of air lifts the soilB. windbreaks allow some wind to pass throughC. large trees are lined with short onesD. windbreaks can stop the wind getting through11. If the trees grow to a height of 30 feet, the areas the windbreak can protect are ______.A. 100 square feetB. 150 square feetC. 240 square feetD. 300 square feet12. What can be inferred from the text?A. Extra trees and plants can be cut down for wood.B. The environment is going from bad to worse.C. Trees and plants from abroad are the best for windbreaks.D. Windbreaks can contribute to agriculture harvests.【参考答案】9—12、CBDD【云南省昆明市2014一模试卷】DOf the several films Hirokazu has made about childhood and children, this one is the most modest, but no less pleasing for its delicate style and small setting. I Wish was originally called Miracle, and the change is for the better. The two-word title makes you want to know who's wishing for what, while the single word sounds plain and self-praising. This wise and funny film works small miracles in describing such a moment when kids turn from the wishfulness of childhood into shaping the world for themselves.The sweetly reflective hero, a sixth-grader named Koichi, starts out by wishing for a volcano to erupt. Not just any volcano, but the one that towers above his town, smoking heavily and giving off ash. An eruption would lead to a withdrawing, which would lead, at least in his mind, to a reunion with his father and kid brother, who've been living in Hakata while Koichi lives with his mother and retired grandparents in Kagoshima. The volcano, knowing nothing of this, refuses to erupt, but Koichi hears of another approach to realizing the desired miracle.One of the pleasures of I Wish is watching how kids behave —how Koichi attacks his dinner, for example. Another pleasure is rediscovering how kids think. These kids can be logical and ever so tricky. But children's thought processes can also be fancy. A boy wishes he could play baseball like one of baseball stars, who eats curry for breakfast; so he, too, starts eating curry for breakfast, instead of practicing on the field. Another boy tries to wish his dead dog, Marble, back to life. And what does Koichi finally wish for? I wish you'd see this delightful film to find out.13. Why has the name of the film been changed from Miracle to I Wish?A. The former is ambiguous and self-praising.B. The latter is easier to arouse audience's interest.C. The latter is easy for audience to remember.D. The former isn't related to the content of the film.14 Koichi wishes the volcano to erupt so that he can _______ .A. enjoy the wonderful scene of a volcanoB. help those who suffer from the eruptionC. get together with his family membersD. work miracles during the disaster15. What does the writer intend to do in this text?A. To share pleasures of watching a film.B. To make a review on a film.C. To discuss kids' behavior and thoughts.D. To recommend a film.【参考答案】13—15、BCD。

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。
Many cities have subways and underground public transportation to take locals and tourists alike rapidly around the city．However, there’s something different about riding a Lo ndon subway．It may not look different, but the historical value of one of England’s most popular forms of transportation is enough to make riding the subway a must when visiting London．With a little under 100 different stations, the subway can take you almost anywhere you need to go．Riding a London subway, a person from other countries will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other．In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times．That’s not rudeness ― people are just too busy to bother looking．Busy doing wh at, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet thinking．Nor are they reading a book．New technology has replaced quiet habits．Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book．Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters（使用月票上下班者）．Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000―yes, that’s 40,000 “apps” have been designed．Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers．One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks．Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination．iSteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone．You can then write in the “steam” on your phon e screen．For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction（消遣）of choice．It’s not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music－iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages．And if games, e-b ooks and music aren’t e nough to keep you occupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV shows or films on the way to work．With all these distractions, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train．1．Those who want to save time to reach where they go can download ______ to their iPhones．A．iShoot B．Tube Exits C．iSteam D．iPod2．People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because ______．A．they are going to work and have no time to communicate with each otherB．they love reading books and do not want to be disturbedC．they feel sleepy because of getting up earlyD．they are busy playing games, reading e-books, listening to music or watching films3．The un derlined word “apps” in the fourth paragraph means ______．A．computers B．programs downloaded for the iPhoneC．computer companies D．fortune from London commuters4.．The main idea of the passage is that ______．A．London commuters are unfriendly to strangersB．Apple has earned a lot of money from selling 40,000 appsC．technology is changing how London commuters spend their traveling timeD．riding a London subway is a must when visiting London1.B细节理解题。

【2016高考训练】I’ve reported about tigers on the news, however, nothing could have prepared me for what I found in India. I didn’t know what to expect, so when I saw my first tiger in the wild, I was shocked. What a beautiful and powerful creature it is!But they live with a price on their heads — a single tiger skin is worth up to ￡8,000, and their bones possibly more. Another problem is that farmers need to clear a large number of areas of the forest for their cattle. This means deer are losing their living places. As a result, tigers are losing their natural prey, so they end up eating the cattle.Tigers are not easy to live close to. I met a farmer who had been mauled by one. But despite (尽管) that, he told me everything had its place in the world and he had no right to kill thetiger. He was really kind.Those who work for the Tigers Forever Project realize that to ensure their survival, tigers don’t only need space. They need space away from people.They are working to stop the conflict (冲突) between tigers and people by separating them.I visited a new town. People had been moved to it from a settlement in the forest. And it really has worked. It has given tigers a better life and better opportunities for the children of the resettled people.Only 2,500 tigers are now left in the wild in India. Three out of eight tiger sub-species have already disappeared. Tigers that once lived across Asia only survive in 7% of their original living places now.1. What does the underlined word “mauled” mean?A. Hunted.B. Injured.C. Frightened.D. Killed.2. The following statements are all the factors reducing the population of tigers EXCEPTthat .A. making money drives some people to hunt tigersB. tigers’ food chai n is being destroyedC. the living places of tigers are disappearingD. people live far from where tigers live3. We can infer from the last paragraph that .A. there are only 2,500 tigers in the wild in IndiaB. tigers need space far from peopleC. if we don’t protect tigers in Asia, they will die out thereD. children are happy to live far from tigers4. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Expensive tigers.B. More space for tigers.C. Tigers and cattle.D. A kind-hearted farmer.【参考答案】BDCB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。
