2016年陕西汉中市高考英语二轮阅读理解选练（7）（含答案）
【2016高考训练题】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 Some say college is wasted on the young. So many of us look back at our own college years and realize what we could have done differently to make the most of them. While we can't go back, we certainly can offer our sons and daughters our best advice to help them make the right choices in college. Hopefully, they will have fewer regrets than we do. Following are five guidelines parents can share with their college-bound kids to put the whole experience in perspective.
EDUCATION IS YOUR FIRST PRIORITY
As soon as you arrive on campus, there will be competing interests. Feel free to check them out but always remember that you are there first and foremost for your education. Go to class prepared and on time. Be engaged during class. Make sure your professor knows you and realizes that you care.
BE RESPONSIBLE
There are many layers of responsibility. Do what you say you will do and, if you can't, own up to it early and communicate clearly. But being responsible isn't just about meeting your commitments; it is also about taking care of you, your body, and your friends. For example, more than 1800 college students die annually from alcohol-related injuries. Look out for yourself and other people. Make moderate(适度的), sensible decisions so you aren't affected by the consequences later.
TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY
Incredible opportunities will present themselves: studying abroad, interning at a unique place, trying new things. Don't let fear prevent you from taking advantage of them. There may never be so much time or as many resources devoted to your betterment again in your life. Say yes to opportunities that will help you grow.
FIND AND BE A MENTOR（良师益友）
Some of the best lessons available to us can come outside of the classroom in the form of a mentor. One of the most powerful growth opportunities is being a mentor. Early on, find someone on campus who you feel can help you grow and develop a relationship with him or her. Also find someone for you to mentor. You will reinforce and enrich your own learning experience by teaching someone else.
GET THE JOB DONE
It is natural to occasionally feel you want to quit, when it makes more sense to you to go find a full-time job. Resist that urge. As Jocelyn Negron-Rios, a mother of two, who is currently completing her degree, advises, "No matter how difficult it seems, keep at it because however insurmountable（难以对付的）it feels now multiply that by 10,000 and that is how it feels when you are in your thirties with a full-time job and a family and are trying to pursue a degree."
1. According to the passage, the most important thing for college students is ______.
A. taking part in different activities
B. working hard to get a degree
C. seizing every chance to try new things
D. improving themselves by learning from the others
2. Which of the following about college life is true?
A. Passing on what you've learned in college can help you enrich your learning experience.
B. Make sure that you are responsible for yourself rather than others.
C. Professors will not assess your performances in class but the grades you get in exams.
D. You can make full use of the opportunity whenever you want.
3. What can we infer from the words said by Jocelyn in the last paragraph?
A. Persistence is the key to success when you meet with difficulties in your learning
process.
B. It is better if you gain more working experience before you finish your education.
C. As long as you work hard, you can gain a degree even when you are in your thirties.
D. Youth is the best time to learn since you have less burden.
4. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To give some rules for the college students.
B. To call on the students to make full use of college years.
C. To summarize some tips for parents to share with their children.
D. To analyze the benefits and difficulties of college life.

【2016高考训练题】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 At the beginning of every year we promise ourselves we will live a healthier life, and exercise more. The year tarts with the best of intentions, but many times we are unable to keep up with very high goals. Good news is that a healthy lifestyle is achievable and it's all about making small changes that make a difference.
News on healthy lifestyles says that the key is moderation and consistency. There are so many health and well-being products out there in the market promising many things. And although many may be true, select carefully.
The basics of a healthy lifestyle is maintaining a balanced diet and doing regular exercise. By eating well, it means really to make sure you include plenty of vegetables and fruit preferably in season in your diet, avoid fried and junk foods and foods high in sugar as well as processed foods. Eating fresh homemade meals rather than ready-made meals, which are high in salt and sugar, is always the better option. Reducing alcohol intake, drinking plenty of water and supplementing your diet with healthy snacks like nuts and seeds.
For external care choose natural skin care products and hair care oil. Natural beauty care involves using natural moisturizers（保湿剂）like Argan oil, Coconut oil and Sweet Almond oil. These nourish（滋养） the skin far more than counter creams full of chemicals. Skin reflects what we put inside of us, so a healthy diet with plenty of greens and healthy protein will make your skin brighter.
Of course exercise is essential but the key is regular and consistent exercise. So walking three times a week for 45 minutes is much more beneficial than a binge workout once a week.
1. Why can't we keep up with our goals according to the passage?
A. The goals are too high to achieve.
B. We have a large amount of work to do.
C. We are naturally lazy and never do exercise.
D. The reason isn't given in the passage.
2. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. we should think twice before choosing heath products
B. the key to a healthy lifestyle is getting enough sleep
C. food high in salt and sugar is the best choice for us
D. we should walk once a day for a healthy lifestyle
3. What can we learn from the passage?
A. We cannot form a healthy lifestyle if we are busy.
B. We can eat some junk food in order to save money.
C. Our skin shows whether we have a healthy diet.
D. Health products are not good for our health.
4. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. How to achieve our goals.
B. The best way to take exercise.
C. How to make a difference in life.
D. Suggestions for a healthy lifestyle.

阅读理解2016·山东省泰安市高三第一轮复习质量检测The World Bank estimates there are about 650 million
mobile phone users in African countries south of the Sahara
Desert.That is greater than the number of users in the United States and European Union.
Samia Melhem works for the World Bank to increase
information technologies in Africa.She says mobile phones are
the fastest growing technology on the continent.
“Faster than TV，and definitely faster than electricity.More people have access to mobile phones and therefore
communication.More people have Internet access today in
Africa than they have access to water，clean water，or even sanitation (卫生设备)．So we can say that this has been the most significant revolution in terms of changing the African landscape and how people live their daily life.”
CNN television recently named seven ways of life that have been revolutionized because of mobile phones.They include political activism，education，entertainment，disaster management，agriculture and health.
Another area is banking.Reports say half or more of the adults in Gabon，Kenya and Sudan use mobile money.Rene Mendy sells goods in the streets of Dakar，Senegal.But he never had enough money to open a bank account.
Now he uses a mobile phone banking service called Orange Money.With his telephone，he can add or take out as little as one dollar.He can make payments and send money to family members who live far away.
Orange Money says it serves four million customers in ten countries.The World Bank’s Samia Melhem notes that the French company is facing competition from other mobile banking services.
“The mobile banking is a huge trend.And people in the
West don’t understand it，because most people have bank
accounts and credit cards.It—mobile banking—is the instant possession of cash at a much lower cost.The cost is the cost of sending a message，which is almost nothing compared to what traditional transfer agents，like Western Union，would charge 10 dollars or more for a particular money transfer.”
