　　2016高考英语二轮阅读理解一百六十集选练（10）

　　【2016高考训练】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。

　　In the mid­1950s，I was a somewhat bored early­ado lescent male student who believed that doing_any_more_than_necessary_

　　was_wasted_effort.One day，this approach threw me into embarrassment.

　　In Mrs.Totten's eighth­grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson，Indiana，we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数)．

　　Our teacher typically assigned daily homework，which would be recited in class the following day.On most days，our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions.

　　Mrs.Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets.She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.

　　Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students，it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer.This particular time，I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.

　　What I failed to expect was that several students were absent，which threw off my estimate.As Mrs.Totten made her way from the beginning of the class，I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get.I tried to work it out before she got to me，but I had brain freeze and couldn't function.

　　When Mrs.Totten reached my desk，she asked what answer I'd got for problem No.14.“I...I didn't get anything，”I answered，and my face felt warm.

　　“Correct，”she said.

　　It turned out that the correct answer was zero.

　　What did I learn that day？First，always do all your homework.Second，in real life it isn't always what you say but how you say it that matters.Third，I would never make it as a mathematician.

　　If I could choose one school day that taught me the most，it would be that one.

　　1．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?

　　A．It is wise to value one's time.

　　B．It is important to make an effort.

　　C．It is right to stick to one's belief.

　　D．It is enough to do the necessary.

　　2．Usually，Mrs.Totten asked her students to ________.

　　A．recite their homework together

　　B．grade their homework themselves

　　C．answer their homework questions orally

　　D．check the answers to their homework questions

　　．The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always ________.

　　A．asked questions in a regular way

　　B．walked up and down when asking questions

　　C．chose two or three questions for the students

　　D．requested her students to finish their usual questions

　　4．The author failed to get the questions he had expected because ________.

　　A．the class didn't begin as usual

　　B．several students didn't come to school

　　C．he didn't try hard to make his estimate

　　D．Mrs.Totten didn't start from the back of the class

　　．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

　　A．An Unforgettable TeacherB．A Future Mathematician

　　C．An Effective ApproachD．A Valuable Lesson

　　答案：

　　【语篇解读】　本文为记叙文。作者通过回忆自己小时候不完成家庭作业，只是应付数学老师所提问题的故事，告诉大家自己从这件事中受到的教育以及吸取的教训。

　　．D　解析：考查句意理解。根据语境可知，作者认为只要做必要的事就够了，故D项正确。

　　2．C　解析：考查细节理解。根据第三段最后一句“On most days，our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions”可知，大多数时候，老师只要求学生口头回答家庭作业。

　　．A　解析：考查推理判断。根据第四段的内容可知，作者的数学老师总是按照题目顺序和学生的座位顺序提问，很有规律。故A项正确。

　　．B　解析：考查细节理解。根据第六段第一句“What I failed to expect was that several students were absent，which threw off my estimate”可知，作者没有料到的是有几个学生缺课，没有来学校，所以他没有估计对自己要回答的问题。故选B。

　　．D　解析：考查标题判断。根据全文尤其是文章最后一段可知，本文主要讲述了作者从自己应付数学老师所提问题而有一次差点失败这件事上吸取了教训，上了宝贵的一堂课。故D项最适合作文章标题。

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 (2015·青岛市二模)

　　I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I fumbled(摸索) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches; they had taken those. I looked through the bars at the guard. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him “Have you got a light？” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unconsciously locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don't know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness; perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn't want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.

　　I kept smiling at him, now thinking of him as a person and not just a guard. “Do you have kids？” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that I'd never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the prison, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.

　　文章大意：《微笑》是法国作家安东尼·圣艾修伯里的作品，圣艾修伯里是名飞行员，二次大战对抗纳粹时被击落身亡，之前他也曾参加西班牙内战打击法西斯分子。他根据这次经验写了一篇精彩的故事——《微笑》。该篇短文就是节选自《微笑》中的一部分。这篇故事告诉我们微笑能改变人生，善待身边的每一个人，微笑会带来无穷的回报。

　　4．What do you think finally saved the man's life?

　　A．The smile.B．The cigarette.

　　C．The tears. D．The wallet.

　　答案：A　推理判断题。The smile微笑；The cigarette香烟；The tears眼泪；The wallet票夹。根据题干关键词what，saved the man's life，通读全文可知这位男士仅仅是因为对士兵的微笑而消除了对方对自己的警戒，又通过交流感情，而获得释放。故选A。

　　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。

　　Imagine this: you get up in the morning and put on a custom printed T-shirt. Then you eat some 3-D printed food and relax on your printed sofa. Perhaps you take a ride in a printed electric car to the hospital to get a printed tooth fitted.

　　Though some of these things may seem impossible, they’re closer to reality than you might think. The world of 3-D printing is coming to a store near you soon.

　　The idea of 3-D printing is to produce complicated shapes in a very personalized way. If you want to make a totally new object, you need to make a virtual design in a CAD（computer aided design）file first. Or you can use a 3-D scanner to make a digital copy of an object. Then, based on the design or copy, the 3-D printer makes paper-thin slices out of liquid, plastic, or metal and puts them together to create the object you want.

　　There are many areas in which 3-D printing can change our lives. One such area is health care. Researchers have developed simple 3-D printed organs, which can be used in life-saving operations. A 17-year-old boy in the US has also recently developed a brain-powered, 3-D printed replacement hand. From heart monitors to fake limbs（四肢）, we can soon be living longer thanks to 3-D printed technology.

　　Another area that 3-D technology looks sure to change is food. Can you imagine being able to print your favorite dishes at home at the touch of a button? Even big companies are behind the trend. Hersheys, one of the largest chocolate makers in the world, recently announced that it would start producing chocolate with the help of 3-D printers. NASA, the US space agency, has reportedly spent $125,000 （767,594 yuan） developing a “3-D pizza printer”.

　　It is not yet clear how long it will take until 3-D printers are available to everyone. But one thing is for sure: the possibilities are endless.

　　1. The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.

　　A. list some major 3-D printing breakthroughs

　　B. describe the characters of 3-D printing

　　C. picture a future life with 3-D printing

　　D. describe the benefits that 3-D printing has brought to our lives

　　2. Compared with traditional manufacturing procedures, 3-D printing ________.

　　A. isn’t practical in daily life

　　B. relies less heavily on the use of 3-D scanners

　　C. can produce complicated products in larger sizes or numbers

　　D. has an advantage in meeting the personal needs

　　3. We can infer from the article that ________.

　　A. there is still a long way to go before everyone can have access to 3-D printing

　　B. 3-D printed organs and limbs are as effective as real ones

　　C. big food companies are major players in the 3-D printing industry

　　D. people can create any object with any material by 3-D printing

　　4. What can be the best title for the text?

　　A. What is 3-D printing?

　　B. A new technology-3-D printing.

　　C. How to use 3-D printing?

　　D. The development of 3-D printing.
