　　【2016高考英语综合能力测试题】

　　Pascal had not been able to fall asleep that night. Around the plantation (种植园), the air seemed full of secrets. As he lay in the cabin (小棚屋) doorway, he worried about how people would treat him now that mama was dead.

　　After work that afternoon, Pascal walked past some men and when he greeted them, they all stopped talking. Didn’t they know that even though he worked in the Big House, he wouldn’t tell the master what they were talking about? In fact, Pascal had secretly saved one of those men from a beating one day. The master had seen the slave Parsmi picking some apples to feed his children. As soon as the master ran after Parsmi, Pascal used his big walking stick to break a window. When the master turned back to run to his Big House, Parsmi had escaped.

　　The night air was sweet but also full of mystery and secrets. He listened to the breathing of six other slaves who lay with him on the dirty floor of the crowded cabin. Glancing at the open doorway, Pascal suddenly found a shadow moving by the doorway, so he whispered, “Who’s that?” “Pascal? It’s me, Gideon.” “Gideon? You are back? Is that really you, Gideon?” Pascal could hardly believe it. His heart was filled with happiness. Gideon ran away from the plantation two years ago. He wasn’t caught or killed in the war, as everyone had thought.

　　“Yes, it’s me. I have come back for you and mama. “But Gideon, mama was dead. She kept asking for more food for the slaves, and the overseer (监工) shot her down.”

　　Gideon pulled Pascal to his side and hugged him, crying over his mama’s death and saying, “all the time, I want to tell mama that we are free now.” “Free?” Pascal held his breath and wiped his eyes. “Are you sure, Gideon?” “President Lincoln freed us slaves two years ago. And still better, we’re going to have our own land.”

　　“Land?” Men from other cabins rushed to crowd around Gideon, telling one another what Gideon had just announced.

　　41. Pascal found it difficult to sleep that night because he was worried ________.

　　A. why the air seemed full of secrets

　　B. that other slaves would suddenly stop talking with him

　　C. that he would pass some men and greet them

　　B. He had secretly saved one of those slaves from a beating.

　　C. He feared that people would tell the master something about him.

　　D. He broke a window with his walking stick for Parsmi to escape.

　　43. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?

　　A. The happiness that Pascal met his brother again.

　　B. The news that Pascal’s brother Gideon told him.

　　C. The shadow that was moving by Pascal’s doorway.

　　D. The fact that Gideon finally returned after two years.

　　44. What do you think of Pascal’s mother?

　　A. Very stupid.

　　B. Very brave.

　　C. Too funny.

　　D. Too greedy.

　　45. Why did the slaves rush to crowd around Gideon?

　　社会生活型阅读理解

　　For all the dinner table, a glass of milk seems to be a constant, at least it was when I was growing up.It was widely believed that milk was integral in building strong bones and teeth.There’s no doubt that dairy products(乳制品), and milk in particular, are high in protein and calcium, and most milk products are supplemented with Vitamin D and A.

　　While it’s well known that our bones need calcium, some studies suggest that high calcium intake doesn’t necessarily lower a person’s risk for fractures(骨折)．A Harvard study found that people who drank two or more glasses of milk had no greater protection from breaking a bone than those who drank a glass or less a week.

　　There’s no doubt that we need calcium. Some anti­dairy supporters claim that dairy can lead to heart disease.Much of this claim is based on high fat and high dairy products, like cheeses and creams, which may indeed contribute to cardiovascular problems.Some studies have linked high milk intakes with a risk of prostate cancer; this seems to be caused by high­fat dairy products, not dairy in general.

　　Although milk was always regarded as one of the most important things we need for our bones, yet least promoted, factors involved in strengthening bones.Perhaps we should think of dairy as less like a nutrient and more like a food.If you like it, eat it.If not, find

　　some_others.Because some claims may not be completely true. When I eat a cream, I’m not thinking about calcium, protein, or any such thing.I’m thinking delicious.

　　()1.Which of the following is TRUE on the milk?

　　A．The more milk you drink, the more risk for fractures you might be.

　　B．The more milk you drink, the less risk for fractures you might be.

　　C．The less milk you drink, the less risk for fractures you might be.

　　D．There is no link between them.

　　()2.Some anti­dairy supporters claim that dairy can lead to except________.

　　A．cardiovascular problems

　　B．heart disease

　　C．prostate cancer

　　D．stomach cancer

　　()3.The underlined words “some others” in the last paragraph refer to________.

　　A．dairy productsB．milk

　　C．food

　　D．cream

　　()4.What’s the author’s attitude towards milk?

　　A．He doesn’t like milk any more.

　　B．He used to drink milk as a child.

　　C．He regards milk as a nutrient.

　　D．He always cares about calcium, protein when he eats something.

　　()5.We can learn from the text that________.

　　A．all the claims are not completely true

　　B．high milk intakes can lead to cancer

　　C．it’s necessary for you to reduce milk intakes

　　D．give up milk for your health

　　【解析】1．D　细节理解题。根据第二段的“A Harvard study found that people who drank two or more glasses of milk had no greater protection from breaking a bone than those who drank a glass or less a week.”可以推断出牛奶的饮用量和骨折之间没有必然的联系。

　　2．D　细节理解题。根据第三段的有关信息可以得知文中没有涉及胃病的问题。

　　3．C　推理判断题。根据最后一段“Perhaps we should think of dairy as less like a nutrient and more like a food. If you like it, eat it. If not，find some others.”可知作者的观点是如果喜欢就用，不喜欢就换其他的食品(物)。

　　4．B　推理判断题。根据第一段的“...at least it was when I was growing up”可以推断出作者在小时候是常常喝牛奶的。

　　5．A　推理判断题。由“Because some claims may not be completely true”可以得知并不是所有的声明都是完全正确的。由此可知选A。

　　【2016高考英语联考试题】

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。As demand for power and fuel grows steadily in the coming decades, we must consider every possible energy source on hand if we're to meet the world's needs. And because clean natural gas is found in great plenty, there is little doubt that it will play a major role on the world energy stage in this century, much like oil did in the last. But, like oil, gas reserves are concentrated in just a few places in the world, usually far from where they're needed most. And that's only part of the challenge. The world has had well over 100 years to search for oil and to build the necessary facilities to bring it to market; the natural gas facilities, particularly when it comes to liquefied（液化）natural gas（LNG）, are not nearly as developed.

　　So what needs to be done? On the supply side, producing nations need policies that allow for better development of their natural gas in an open, stable business environment, not one in which the rules of the game change without warning. The governments of consuming nations, on the other hand, must make policies for sustainable（可持续的）development to ensure they'll have enough supplies in the future. That means building the related facilities, including LNG stations. This, in turn, will require coastal areas to allow these necessary, but not necessarily pretty, facilities to be built in their backyards. And energy companies have a responsibility to be good neighbors in those areas by operating these facilities responsibly and safely. They must also continue to put in the billions of dollars needed to build the complex transport and storage facilities required to bring more gas to market.

　　Expanding and diversifying（使多样化）energy sources by using more natural gas could lead to lower fuel prices and to greater energy security. We've taken some of the steps to get started, but we need your help to get the rest of the way.

　　Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. Gas played a major part in the 20th century.

　　B. Gas reserves are widely spread around the world.

　　C. Natural gas facilities are far from satisfactory.

　　D. Necessary facilities are ready to bring gas to market.

　　42. The underlined word "one"（in Paragraph 2）refers to .

　　A. a gas supply side                         

　　B. a policy for gas development

　　C. a gas consuming nation                           

　　D. a business environment

　　43. Consuming nations of natural gas need to ______.

　　A. have long-term policies for gas supply          B. open markets in their backyards

　　C. build pretty facilities along the coast         

　　D. change the rules of the game     

　　44. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.

　　A. warn people of the lack of power and fuel

　　B. discuss the importance of oil and natural gas

　　C. instruct people how to make use of energy sources

　　D. call for better use and development of natural gas

　　45. The passage might be followed by a paragraph about ______.

　　A. which countries are in great need of gas    

　　B. where energy sources are concentrated

　　C. what kind of help you can offer    

　　D. what problems of energy sources we may face
