　　湖南长沙市2016高考英语（二轮）阅读理解训练（24）及答案

　　2016高考模拟题。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。

　　The driver fled the scene of the accident, leaving the girl to bleed on the sidewalk. Over the next six minutes, more than a dozen people walked by the girl, yet not one individual did anything to help her. The girl was then hit a second time by another van before an elderly trash collector came to her aid and brought the attention of the girl’s mother, according to the video and eyewitnesses.

　　Doctors said that the girl, who was put on life support after being hospitalized, remains in a deep coma. The girl’s parents, who are migrants living in the city, are now with her. Police said the drivers of both vehicles have been arrested. However, the indifference of the bystanders shown in the video has shocked the public, as Internet forums have boiled with anger, and people are questioning the morality of society.

　　High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored by the public. But in recent years, the perception of a decline of morals has become a hot topic as profit and materialism are recognized to be affecting society’s values.

　　On Sept. 2. an 88-year-old man in central China collapsed, his face striking the pavement. Yet, no one came to his aid, and he ended up choking to death on the blood from his nose. Some have linked the absence of good models to a previous case in which a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused of harming her.

　　A strong chorus of opinion on the Internet says laws should exempt（免除）models from responsibility, yet laws themselves cannot solve society’s morality dilemma.

　　Cao Lin, a China Youth Daily commentator, said in a signed article published on Monday that the worry of responsibility should not be an excuse for not helping, and this case exposes the decline of humanity in Chinese society.

　　1. What happened to the two-year-old girl?

　　A. Nobody helped her after she was struck by two different vans.

　　B. She died immediately after she was hit a second time.

　　C. An old trash collector saved her and attracted her mother’s attention.

　　D. Journalists from TVS captured her story by using a camera.

　　2. From the passage, what would happen if someone helped others selflessly in the past?

　　A. The public would feel proud of him/ her and showed love and respect for him/ her.

　　B. He/she would be awarded by the government.

　　C. He/she would be condemned by the public.

　　D. He/she would have to worry about legal responsibility.

　　3 In recent years, society’s values are believed to be affected by________.

　　A. people’s awareness

　　B. the indifference of bystanders

　　C. profit and materialism

　　D. the morals of society

　　4. Where is the article probably taken from?

　　A. A news report.

　　B. A fashion magazine. C. A science fiction. D. An education column.

　　Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri(MU)researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.

　　“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density (密度),” said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. “The radioisotope (放射性同位素)battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”

　　Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro/nanoelectromechanical systems(M/NEMS). Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.

　　“People hear the word‘nuclear’and think of something very dangerous, “ he said. “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems. “

　　His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor (半导体). Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.

　　“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure (晶格结构) of the solid semiconductor. “ Kwon said. “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”

　　Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that the battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.

　　1. Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?

　　A. He teaches chemistry at MU.

　　B. He developed a chemical battery.

　　C. He is working on a nuclear energy source.

　　D. He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.

　　2. Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4 　.　

　　A. to show chemical batteries are widely applied

　　B. to indicate nuclear batteries can be safely used

　　C. to describe a nuclear-powered system

　　D. to introduce various energy sources

　　3. Liquid semiconductor is used to 　.　

　　A. get rid of the radioactive waste

　　B. test the power of nuclear batteries

　　C. decrease the size of nuclear batteries

　　D. reduce the damage to lattice structure

　　4. According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery 　.　

　　A. uses a solid semiconductor

　　B. will soon replace the present ones

　　C. could be extremely thin

　　D. has passed the final test

　　5. The text is most probably a 　.　

　　A. science news reportB. book review

　　C. newspaper ad D. science fiction story

　　Humpback whales

　　Humpback whales are sometimes called performers of the ocean. This is because they can make impressive movements when they dive. The name ?humpback?, which is the common name for this whale, refers to the typical curve shape the whale?s back forms as it dives.

　　Sometimes the humpback will dive with a fantastic movement known as a breach. During breaching the whale uses its powerful tail flukes to lift nearly two-thirds of its body not of the water in a giant leap. A breach might also include a sideways twist with fins stretched out like wings, as the whale reaches the height of the breach.

　　A humpback whale breathes air at the surface of the water through two blowholes which are located near the top of head. It blows a double stream of water that can rise up to 4 meters above the water.

　　The humpback has a small dorsal fin located towards the tail flukes about two-thirds of the way down its back. Other distinguishing features include large pectoral fins, which may be up to a third of the body length, and unique black and white spots on the underside of the tail flukes. These markings are like fingerprints:　no two are the same.

　　Humpback whales live in large groups. They communicate with each other through complex “songs”. Quick Facts

　　Size: 14m—18m in length;

　　30—50 tons in weight

　　Living

　　environment: Open ocean and shallow coastline waters

　　Migration: From warm tropical(热带的)waters, where they breed, to cold polar waters, where they eat

　　Diet: Shellfish, plants and fish of small size

　　Hunting: Sometimes in groups, in which several whales form a circle under the water, blowing bubbles that form a “net” around a school of fish. The fish are then forced up to the surface in a concentrated mass.

　　Current

　　state: Endangered:　it is estimated that there are about 5000—7500 humpback whales worldwide.

　　1. According to Quick Facts, a humpback whale　.　

　　A. cannot survive in waters near the shore

　　B. doesn’t live in the same waters all the time

　　C. lives mainly on underwater plants

　　D. prefers to work alone when hunting food

　　2. To make a breach, a humpback whale must　.　

　　A. use its tail flukes to leap out of the water

　　B. twist its body sideways to jump high

　　C. blow two streams of water

　　D. communicate with a group of humpbacks

　　3. From the passage we can learn that a humpback whale　.　

　　A. has its unique markings on its tail flukes

　　B. has black and white fingerprints

　　C. gets its name from the way it hunts

　　D. is a great performer due to its songs
