2016高考英语二轮阅读理解训练七十集之连载（15）
2016高考训练题。阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。My last days of my month-Song trip to Guatemala found me self-reflective and grateful. I had rejoined the living after spending two days in bed, thanks to a terrible period of food poisoning that had me running from both ends.
I spent 36-plus hours locked up in my hotel room in a cold sweat and grasping my st
omach in pain. There may have been a bit of crying. There also may have been a few out-loud prayers to God begging him to make it stop and asking why I had been chosen to go through this. I should mention that I am not religious.
I didn’t have a mobile phone and my hotel room was not equipped with a fixed line, so I had no way to get in contact with my mommy or my loving boyfriend so that I could share my suffering.
Days later, I had recovered fully. While the bug （虫子） ran its course, I had to give some thanks to the staff at my hotel in Guatemala for being so sweet. They came to check on me on a couple of occasions once they realized I wouldn't/couldn't leave the room. They offered me tea and to call a doctor. I declined both offers but was moved by their kindness.
I may get sick often when on the road, but I had to say that the worst thing ever is to get sick while traveling alone. If I am sick, only when people I know and care about are around does it make me feel better. It’s not even about them playing Florence Nightingale -sometimes, just having them there and being able to feel their presence is enough to make you feel stronger.
1.What is the best title for the text?

2.Why did the author get sick?

A. Don't get sick while travelling or you can't travel with pleasure.

2016高考训练题。阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。Children are children after all, and most of them speak their mind. When they are just toddlers（幼儿）, no matter how naughty or rude they are, we think it is amusing to watch them speak like a grown-up. But as they grow, these same kids seem annoying and ill-mannered if they try to sound grown-up.
Conflicts often appear between parents and children. Reasoning does not seem to work with them．It's hard to tell who are right and who are wrong. A child of 7-8 always finds some reasons to have a conflict with his parents. Whether it is about some toys, studies, basic affairs, parties or friends, there is always a difference in opinions between them. And it becomes worse when they answer you back. Psychologists say that children should be handled with care. Yes, sure they should be but not at the cost of disrespecting their elders.
We are partly responsible for this situation. At an early age we encourage grown-up-like behaviour, just because we find it amusing. The kids on the other hand consider this same behavior as normal and get used to it. And when it is not funny for us any more, we expect them to stop it, but by then it is already too late.
Only when they reach a certain maturity will the children realize that answering back and being rude are not acceptable. Until then, most of the time their behavior is difficult to change, unless by force. And the use of force is again not a very good idea, as it weakens the child's confidence.
Thus this brings us to the conclusion that it is one thing to bring a child into this world but quite another to make them into well mannered citizens. The best way is to be a good example ourselves, as our children are a reflection of us adults.
1.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. It is annoying to watch children speak like a grown-up.
B. We should deal with children carefully according to psychologists.
C. We are totally responsible for our kids’ impolite behaviour.
D. Most of the time children’s behaviour is easy to change.
2.What's the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. There are usually conflicts of opinions between parents and children.
B. Children would like toys better than their parents.
C. Children always look down upon their parents.
D. It’s strange for children and parents to disagree with each other.
3.Which of the following is part of the reason for the present situation of the children?
A. Children always think their parents’ opinions are wrong.
B. Parents often try to change their children by force.
C. Parents give too much loose to children.
D. Children are often asked to follow their parents.
4. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. It is important that we teach children how to behave well and bring them into the world.
B. It is important to bring a child into the world safe and sound.
C. We should try to make a child follow the elders.
D. We should train children to be good citizens with good manners.

阅读理解。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。You’ve seen news reports about people who need help after a flood. Maybe you’ve walked past people who are sleeping on the streets. Or perhaps you’ve watched TV programs about how lonely older people can get. So what can you do about any of those things? The answer: You can volunteer (做志愿者).
Volunteering is a great way to learn new skills — from working as part of a team to setting and reaching goals. It gives you a chance to find out what kinds of things you’re good at and enjoy the most. Volunteering can provide you with a sense of responsibility because people really depend on you. And it can help you understand disabled (残疾的) people, sick kids, or the elderly.
Volunteering helps people feel they do have the power to change things for the better. When people depend on you, it can change the way you look at yourself, and this is the main reason that makes volunteering attractive. You can feel proud of the goals that you’ve achieved (实现) for a charity organization (慈善组织) — whether it’s helping to organize a 10K to raise money for lung cancer or running the race itself.
Sometimes it’s easy to feel worried about your grades or the fight you had with your friend or parents. And although these things are very important in their own way, sometimes it can be helpful to get some distance and think about other things. Volunteering allows you to do this. It lets you focus on others that are worth doing.
Finally, volunteering can help save you from being bored — it gives you a place to be where you can have a good time and keep busy.
1. From the passage, we can learn that volunteering ____.
A. is the best way to find out your interests
B. mainly helps the old and the poor people
C. makes sure volunteers will get a good job in the future
D. can help volunteers choose a job that they really like in the future
2. Today, most people volunteer mainly for the purpose of ______.
A. making themselves famous and popular
B. knowing their value by helping others
C. increasing their knowledge and learning skills
D. helping people out of trouble
3. What do the underlined words “a 10K” (Paragraph 3) probably refer to?
A. A charity organization.
B. A volunteer group.
C. A 10-kilometer race.
D. A political activity.
4. The purpose of the passage is to ________.
A. talk about the difficulties of volunteering
B. talk about how to make life meaningful
C. tell readers how to volunteer
D. talk about the advantages of volunteering

【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。If you have a bad habit of losing things, a new device that can be connected to any item that you might lose may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to the missing item, within a 50-to 150-foot range . If the item goes out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be detected (发现) on other smartphones with the same app.
When you log into the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost item — a dog, for example, or a stolen bike — goes out of your own phone’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, you can set it as a “lost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within the range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your own phone, reminding you of its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.
Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they never run out of battery or need to be charged, and they last for one year before needing to be replaced. The app, which will come into the market this winter, works with iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd and 4th generation, and iPod 5th generation.
1. The Tile app can help you .
A. find your missing items
B. use your phone more wisely
C. save your phone’s battery power
D. connect something to your phone
2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The Tile needs to be charged after a year of use.
B. One smartphone can only be linked up to one Tile.
C. The Tile cannot work when linked up to a phone without Bluetooth.
D. A missing item can’t be found if it goes out of the needed range.
3. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?
A. What the Tile app is.
B. How the Tile app works.
C. The advantages of the Tile app.
D. Why the Tile app was invented.
4. Where does this passage probably come from?
A. A science fiction novel.
B. An advertisement.
C. A personal diary.
D. A news report.

阅读理解。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。
In business, there is a speed difference: It's the difference between how important a firms leaders say speed is to their competitive () strategy（策略）and how fast the company actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and company size .Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.
In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that choose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track, What’s more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up “improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period.
How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly )and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value ).Simply increasing the speed of production, for example ,may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference .But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.
In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. They encouraged new ways of thinking. And they allowed time to look back and learn. By contrast (相比而言), performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn’t develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes.
Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore , are more successful in meeting their business goals . That kind of strategy must come from the top.

(
) 3. What can we learn from the text?
A. how fast a firm moves depends on how big it is.
B. how competitive a firm is depends on what it produces.
C. Firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes.

(
