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。 If you're ever in central London between Covent Garden and Holborn, look up. You might spot three letters somewhere between the Starbucks angels and the pub signs: “LSE”. They may not look much. But these three letters welcome you to one of the world's leading universities for social and political sciences.
The London School of Economics and Political Science （LSE） offers more than just economics. You can study all sorts of things, from history to mathematics to psychology. The university was founded in 1895. It has always set very high standards for its students. Today, it accepts fewer students every year than any other British university. It's not surprising that 17 Nobel Prize winners and 34 world leaders went to LSE' including John F. Kennedy.
Those who do get a place can enjoy teaching from LSE's top-class staff. Students have the chance to learn in the university's great facilities（设施）. The LSE has the world's largest social and political sciences library, its own theater, and many other lecture theaters. These host lectures and debates for both students and the public.
Some of the most important people in the world come to speak. Recent speakers have included former UN Secretary—General Kofi Annan, former US President Bill Clinton, and even ' controversially' Colonel Gaddafi. In 2008, the LSE started “LSE Live”, a series of live online lectures.
There's still time for fun at LSE. Students can join up with the LSE student union to take part in sports, arts and drama clubs. They can also join up with other London universities.
What's more, LSE is big on China. The university has a strong link with Peking University. A two-week LSE—PKU summer school takes place every year. The course covers economics, management, international relations, media and law, all with a focus on China and Asia. How's that for strengthening East-West relations?

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。
Psychologists have discovered that even the most independent-minded of us will conform to social pressure when we are with a group of people. In one classic experiment, people were shown a vertical（垂直的） line and asked to find a line of identical length from a selection of three.
You might think that this is an absurdly easy task, and when people perform it by themselves they do it very well. However, psychologists have discovered that we are very easily swayed by the opinions of other people when we do this task in a group. In one study, a group of three people was set up, where two of the people were confederates（同伙） of the experimenter. When the confederates deliberately gave wrong answers, people were often swayed to give the wrong answer also. In fact, 75% of people gave at least one wrong answer, with some people conforming to peer pressure on every occasion.
But why do people conform in this way? In an easy task like this, it seems that people do not want to step out of line with the prevailing opinion of the group. On more difficult tasks, people also conform because they lose confidence in their own ability to make decisions and prefer to trust the majority opinion instead.
A typical example of this kind of conformity arises when we come across people in distress. Would you help a woman who has been attacked in the street? It turns out that you are much more likely to go to her assistance if you are alone. When other people are also around, a diffusion of responsibility occurs. People are paralysed into inaction, because everyone assumes that someone else will go to the woman's assistance.
1. In Paragraph 1, the underlined word “conform” probably means “ ”.
A. seek independence B. disobey orders
C. follow what others doD. seek pleasure
2. What is the purpose of the experiment described in Paragraph 2?
A. To explain why people would be influenced by the opinions of others.
B. To prove that people are easily influenced by the opinions of others.
C. To train the confederates of the experimenter as independent-minded.
D. To describe how people would be influenced by the opinions of others.
3. In the last paragraph, according to the author, why wouldn’t one help the woman?
A. He thinks he has no responsibilities to give a hand.
B. He thinks he has nothing to do with it.
C. He is too shy to give his helping hand.
D. He thinks someone else will offer assistance.
4. What method does the author mainly use to develop the text?
A. Giving examples.B. Cause-effect analysis.
C. Comparative analysis.D. Process analysis.

【由内蒙古包头市201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。Hello. I’m Jan from Mrs.Lake’s class. My class wants to work together to help the public. We think we have found a great way to do this. Last month we did a class project on the highways near our town. We learned about the Adopt-a-Highway Program. This program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads. We think it would be a great idea for all students in our school to join the program and adopt a highway.
Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet.
When a highway is adopted，only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people. The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean.Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it. The sign is put up at the side of the road. This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean.
The Adopt - a-Highway Program is a great way for people to help their environment look nicer. Also,the governwent does not have to send out as many road workers. This saves money. Finally, people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people，especially teenagers like us， cleaning them up.
We will need helpers to care for our adopted highway. If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean，please come with your parents to the meeting next week. We will meet in Mrs. Lake’ room on Wednesday at 6:00 P.M. At the meeting, we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of people's unkind acts. Then we' Il try to pick an area to adopt and clean ap.
I look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Remember to keep our roads clean!
