第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分；满分40分)
阅读短文，并从短文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出符合短文内容的最佳选项。
A
(2011·福建高考)Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance.It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected.When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant (抑制药), damaging eyesight, judgement and coordination (协调), slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents.Even below the drink driving limit, driving will be affected.
Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain.Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice.To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.
The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is：
●50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood; or
●22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath; or
●67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine(尿液)．
Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.
Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged.The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 drivingoffence points; or temporarily banned from driving.
The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens (样本) for breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.
Drink driving is a criminal offence.Be a responsible driver, think before you drink.For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.
51．The first paragraph is mainly about________.
A．the introduction of driving skills
B．the damage of drinking to your body
C．the effect of drinking on driving
D．the process of alcohol being absorbed
52．The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “________”．
A．alcohol
B．absorption
C．blood
D．process
53．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.
B．Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.
C．Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.
D．50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink driving limit.
54．A driver suspected of drink driving ________.
A．should provide specimens for testing
B．will be forbidden to drive for 3 years
C．will be punished for 10 drivingoffence points
D．should pay a maximum fine of HK $25,000
答案与解析
[语篇解读]'本文为说明文。酒精具有抑制作用，影响视觉、判断与协调，延缓反应时间，从而提高了事故的风险。《道路交通条例》对酒精含量限度提出了明确的要求。酒驾是一种犯罪行为，作为有责任心的司机，酒前要三思。为了自己和他人，不要酒后驾车。
51．C'主旨大意题。第一段主要讲述酒精具有抑制作用，影响视觉、判断与协调，延缓反应时间，从而提高了事故的风险；即使喝酒低于酒驾限度，驾车也会有影响的。所以正确答案为C项。
52．D'猜测词义题。根据第二段第三句可知，清除体内酒精的过程是非常慢的，像淋浴和喝茶或咖啡这样的措施也不可能加快清除过程。根据句意可知，it 指代上文所提到的“过程”，故正确答案为D项。
53．B'事实细节题。根据第一段最后一句可知，即使喝酒低于酒驾限度，驾车也会有影响的。所以排除A项。根据第二段最后一句可知，喝茶无助于清除体内酒精，所以排除C项；根据第三段有关《道路交通条例》中酒精含量限度的第二点“每百毫升呼吸中，所含的酒精含量22毫克”，而D项为50毫克/百毫升，所以排除D项。根据第二段第二句可知，当酒和果汁一起喝时，酒精更快被吸收，所以正确答案为B项。
54．A'事实细节题。根据第四段可知，疑似酒驾司机需接受酒精检测。所以正确答案为A项。
B
(2017·福建厦门市三校联考)Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyle's husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard of again.Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair.They had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their marriage.
Every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and without so much as a note or a goodbye close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them.Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing from home—the highest in 15 years.Many did return home within a year, but others rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a different identity.
To those left behind, this form of desertion (遗弃) is a terrible blow to their pride and selfconfidence.Even the finality of death might be preferable.At least it does not imply rejection or failure.Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait several years before they are free to start a fresh life.
Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive.“It's typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other people's pain and difficulties.Running away, like killing yourself, is a highly aggressive act.By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty, upset and empty.”
55．When her husband left home, Eileen Doyle ________.
A．could not forgive him for taking the children
B．had been expecting it to happen for some time
C．could not understand why
D．blamed herself for what had happened
56．Most people who leave their families behind them ________.
A．do so without warning
B．do so because of their debts
C．come back immediately
D．change their names
57．Which might be the title of the passage?
A．Broken marriage
B．New life after desertion
C．A new social problem
D．Desertion and its influence
58．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Many people choose to leave home quietly because they hate their family.
B．Paul Brown regards leaving home as an act of selfishness.
C．Those who are left behind will lose confidence and won't marry again.
D．Eileen's husband, together with his four kids, was probably killed in an accident.
答案与解析
55．C 从第一段第二、三句可知C项正确。
56．A 从第二段第一句可知A项正确。
57．D 从全文内容来看，文章主要讲述遗弃及其产生的影响。
58．B 从最后一句 Paul Brown 所说的话 It's typical of...可知B项正确。
C
(2017·三明联考)It's true that quite a few most respected scientific
authorities have confirmed that the world is becoming hotter and hotter. There's also strong evidence that humans are contributing to the warming. Countless recent reports have proved the same thing. For instance, a 2010 summary about the climate science by the Royal Society noted that：“The global warming over the last half－century has been caused mainly by human activity.”
You may not believe that humans could change the planet's climate, but the basic science is well understood. Each year, billions of tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere because of human activity. As has been known for years, these gaseshold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible(看不见的) blanket.
Of course, the earth's climate has always been changing due to “natural” factors such as volcanic eruption (熔化) or changes in solar, or cycles concerning the Earth's going around the sun. According to the scientific research, however, the warming observed by now matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build－up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere－not the warming we would expect from other possible causes.
Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming recorded so far, that would give birth to a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it: “If some newly discovered factor is to blame for the climate change, then why aren't carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be？”
The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths－one with human influence and one without. That obviously isn't possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty.
59．In most scientists' opinion, the global warming is mainly caused by________.
A. solar activity
B. volcanic activity
C. natural factors
D. human factors
60．The text is developed by________.
A．giving typical examples
B. following the order of space
C. analyzing a theory and arguing it
D. comparing and finding differences
61．The underline word “identical” in the last paragraph probably means________.
A. totally different
B. exactly the same
C. extremely important
D. partly independent
62. Which of the following can be the best title?
A. Are All the Scientists Really Scientific?
B. Where Is Global Warming Leading Us to?
C. Are Humans Definitely Causing Global Warming?
D. What's Relation of Global Warming and Greenhouse Gases?
答案与解析
[语篇解读]'
这是一篇关于全球气候变暖的文章。文章分析了导致全球变暖的各种原因，并指出人类活动因素是导致气候变暖的主要原因。
59．D 考查事实细节。根据第一段第二句“here's also strong evidence that humans are contributing to the warming”(这儿也有强有力的证据表明人类为全球气候变暖做出了“贡献”)可知人类因素是导致气候变暖的主要原因。human factors(人类因素)。
60．C'考查综合理解。纵观全文，第一段提出人类活动因素是导致全球气候变暖的主要原因。接下来分析讨论为什么说人类活动可以导致气候变暖。文章就是按这种方式叙述的。analyzing a theory and arguing it(分析理论并进行辩论)符合本文描述方式。

Mapping Your World
Different forms of maps are appearing.They allow independent travelers to get local knowledge of places they are visiting, from the official to the unusual.Meanwhile, hitech developments are creating new ways for us to map the world.Here are two of our favorites:
Green Maps
Green Maps allows people to share with the world their knowledge of environmentally friendly places and attractions in the local areas.Users add information with a set of icons (图标) , making it easy to read any map, whatever the nationalities of those who produce it.At present there are over five hundred map projects being developed in 54 countries.Green Maps' advertised idea is “think global, map local”．It is a wonderful way of gaining all sorts of information of a place, ranging from community gardens to good places of birdwatching.
Green Maps is not specifically intended for travelers.Not all of its maps are online, so it may be necessary for some users to communicate with the producers through the Green Maps website.
Map Mashups
Many people use online maps developed by Google, but not many know about the mashups of them.Working in a similar way to Green Maps, Map Mashups allows people to add icons of their own to existing maps to express a certain topic.The mashups is so called because it combines all the knowledge you could ever need.It ranges from the extremely useful, such as where all the World Heritage Sites are, to the most bizarre (古怪的), such as where America's drunkest cities are.With the mashups added to the basic Google Maps, a multilayered (多层的) map can be created.
