高考英语二轮复习专题训练：阅读理解(9)
第1页 共9页 高考英语二轮复习专题训练：阅读理解（9） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中。 A The dyed bun scandal (染色馒头丑闻) deals another blow to shoppers' confidence in buying food products, as well as the reputation of local sellers. Li Zhen reports on shoppers’ reactions in Shanghai. An investigation by the municipal government revealed that Shanghai Shenglu Food Company produced more than 3,000 steamed buns daily. These were then sold across the city, including large supermarkets such as Hualian, Lianhua and Dia. Fewer steamed buns were for sale at this Lianhua Supermarket. More than 32,000 buns were taken off store shelves when the scandal emerged. Mr. Wang, Sales Manager of Lianhua Supermarket, said, “We removed the dyed steamed buns produced by Shenglu as soon as we learned of the incident. We gave customers who had bought the steamed buns from our outlets refunds with their receipts. Despite the scandal, our sales volume has been fine so far.” However, most customers we met remained concerned about food safety. Steamed buns are a regular breakfast food for Ms. Gao. She used to buy them mostly from supermarkets because she felt it was in a clean and safe environment. But now, she has second thoughts about buying the popular snack. Ms. Gao, Shanghai shopper, said, “I can’t believe that even steamed buns from the supermarkets are no longer safe. The only places I trusted to shop at were major supermarkets and specialist shops. But now even there, product quality cannot be guaranteed. I really don't know where to buy my goods from in the future. Shoppers at supermarkets who still bought steamed buns said they had few options. “I feel like giving up supermarkets. But I really don’t know where to do my food shopping. I can't make these things myself.” said Ms. Tang, Shanghai shopper. 1. The colored buns were sold in some large supermarkets EXCEPT ______. A. Hualian B. Lianhua C. Dia D. Shenglu 2. What Ms. Gao and Ms. Tang said suggests that ______. A. they still trust major supermarkets when shopping B. they will make food by themselves C. they feel confused about where to buy safe food D. they will never go to supermarkets 3. The underlined word in the last paragraph can be replaced by ______. 第2页 共9页

Many teens don’t get enough sleep because they have too much homework，which keeps them up at night. Some teens cannotsleep at night even when they want to.Studies show that during your teenage years，the body’s biological clock is reset，telling you to sleep later at night and wake up later in the morning.But changes in the body clock aren’t the only reason teens lose sleep. Lots of people have insomnia．They can’t go to sleep easily or get enough sleep. The most common cause of insomnia is stress. But all sorts of things can lead to insomnia. These include physical discomfort, emotional troubles and even sleeping environment. It’s common for everyone to have insomnia from time to time. But if it lasts for a month or more ,go and see a doctor.Some people have a condition that causes stomach acid (酸) to move backward towards the chest. This produces the uncomfortable, burning feeling called heartburn. So even if the person doesn’t notice the feelings of heartburn because he is sleeping，he may feel tired the next day.Most teens have nightmares sometimes. But，if they are frequent，a person’s sleep pattern can be seriously affected. The most common cause of nightmares is emotional problems，such as stress (压力) or anxiety. If you have them a lot，it’s a good idea to talk to a doctor.Doctors encourage teens to make lifestyle changes to develop good sleeping habits. You probably know that coffee can keep you awake，but did you know that playing video games or watching TV does the same?9. What does the underlined word “insomnia” in paragraph 3 mean?A. A kind of disease that prevents people from sleeping well.B. A kind of dream that makes people afraid.C. A kind of study that deals with people’s sleeping problems.D. A. kind of life style that allows people to sleep late.10. The teenagers’ biological clock ________.A. is the origin of their insomniaB. easily makes teenagers lead to insomniaC. provides them with plenty of time at nightD. is helpful to improve their concentration11. What does the writer say about “nightmares”？A. It is nothing and shouldn’t be taken seriously.B. It can release their stress or anxiety.C. Emotional problems might contribute to nightmares.D. People will suffer from nightmares if they sleep early.12. Which way can help to get rid of insomnia?A. Drinking some coffee before going to bed.B. Playing video games or watching TV often.C. Turning to a doctor for help.D. Eating much medicine for insomnia.13.

Sand, sea and sculpture, Durban There's more to Durban's Golden Mile than sunbathing and surfing.Not only is there a gallery of sand sculptures and drawings, but Lucas, one of the best local artists, offers lessons.His amazing rhino (犀牛) is the only permanent item in a frequently changing exhibition.Lucas charges a modest R50 (￡3) for a fun and surprisingly physical hour of creativity.Or, you could ask him to create a personalised sculpture for a special occasion. Paternoster, Western Cape Paternoster is a small beach community about 150 km north of Cape Town.The town has a number of rentals (租赁), all the Cape Dutch architecture you could want for a weekend away and some great food.Long walks on the beach, eating and drinking and watching the fishing boats make for a peaceful break.And, unlike in Cape Town, you can dip your toes in the sea without your legs freezing solid. 语篇解读：阳光，海浪，沙滩……南非浪漫美妙的海滩对旅游度假的人们充满了吸引力。试试看，总有一款适合你。 21．What is the suggested way for travelers to make their trips on the beaches?

As a young girl, I felt embarrassed and cringed (畏缩) every time my mother addressed strangers in the grocery store or on the city bus.She talked to everyone and offered a smile. What really sold_me_on Mom's approach to life was her experience on the senior bus, a story I've repeated to others many times.The weeks I could not be there, she used this lowcost transportation to the grocery store.After her first trip, I asked her how it went. “Ha！” she said, “I got on that bus and what did I see? Thirteen little old ladies and one old man, and not one word was spoken.” I wondered how long it would be until the somberness (忧郁的氛围) on that bus would change.On my next visit, Mom mentioned the ladies on the bus and something one of them had told her. “Oh, are you talking with them now？” I asked. “Of course，” she said.“One day I climbed up the steps of the bus and before I looked for a seat, I gave them a big smile and I said, ‘Isn't it a wonderful day？’ I noticed a few shy smiles.” Mom didn't give up.She greeted them all each time she got on the bus and before long, the whole group was laughing and talking to one another.The bus became more than just transportation. She's been gone for ten years but I've carried on her recipe for life.I smile at people as I walk by and often begin a conversation in the checkout line.Silent, solemn (严肃的) people respond with smiles of their own and a bit of chatter.All it takes is for one person to initiate (发起) the smile or greeting.It was me who had done the smiling first and all those people had responded.My mother didn't lecture but taught me by example.She'd given me a recipe for life. 语篇解读：本文主要讲述了作者的母亲积极乐观的人生态度对作者的影响。 25.
