重庆市2017高考英语阅读理解选编（70）（附解析）
（2017高考训练）阅读理解。
“Have a nice day！” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
“Have_a_nice_day. Next！” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's attempt to increase business.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don't know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I'm terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”
The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heartwarming because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it's nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don't care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.

When Peng Liyuan stepped off the plane in Moscow, the whole world wanted to know who dressed the elegant first lady. The reporter released the secret—Ma Ke.
Peng Liyuan has been wearing Ma Ke’s designs for more than a decade, a fact that was only highlighted recently when she was on her first state visit, accompanying her husband—President Xi Jinping. The elegant and attractive Peng, formerly a popular singer, has been compared with the US’ first lady Michelle Obama and France’s Carla Bruni-Sarkzy, since stepping off the airplane in Moscow on March 22. Suddenly, everyone was curious to know more about the first lady’s wardrobe.
Even so, Ma prefers a low-key approach. “If you eat a tasty egg why would you want to see the hen? ”she says of all the media attention.
Ma’s relationship with Peng began 10 years ago after a concert in Guangzhou when a reporter told Peng she knew the designer behind the label Exception de Mixmind. Peng asked for an introduction because she was a fan of Ma’s designs and had been wearing them for years.
The two naturally became friends. Ma says, “The painting reflects the painter, and clothes reflect both the designer and the wearer. Someone desires fame and wealth, or love and sympathy; what you have in your heart is reflected in the design. Those who don’t share my philosophy won’t buy my clothes. Peng is a caring person, devoted to charity and environmental protection, which is exactly what I’m doing now. ”
However, regardless of the brand, Peng’s support of Chinese labels has surprised millions of Chinese who favor foreign fashion brands.
“Instead she presented a vision of Chinese fashion, desiring to bring Chinese designers to the world stage, ”says a western designer.
The first lady’s double-breasted coat and her black leather handbag aren’t available at any of Exception’s shops, though Exception’s physical stores do have seen a rising number of visitors.
【文章大意】第一夫人彭丽媛第一次陪同习主席出国访问, 她一身高贵优雅的服装吸引了世人的目光, 服装设计师马可也从幕后走了出来。

A. it is hard to explain“which came first, the egg or the hen? ”
B. paying such great attention to her was unnecessary
C. the outcome was more important than the process
D. her dissatisfaction with the media attention on her dress

（2016高考训练）阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。体裁：记叙文 话题：个人情感 词数：721 时间：8′
I was no different from any other mother.
When my little boy, Skyler, was born, I longed for the day he would talk to me.My husband and I dreamed about the first sweet“Mama”or“Dada”．Every cry or coo was a small glimpse into my son's mind.
My baby's noises were even more precious to me because Skyler had been born with several health problems.At first, the problems had delayed his development, but once they were safely behind us, I looked forward to my son's first words.They didn't come.
At age three，Skyler was diagnosed as autistic(自闭症的)，a developmental disability destined to affect his social and emotional wellbeing throughout his entire life.Skyler couldn't talk—wouldn't talk.I would probably never hear any words from him at all.In a store, I would hear a child calling “Mommy”， and I would wonder if that was what my little boy might sound like.I wondered how it would feel to hear my child call out for me.
But I could have learned to live with his silence if it weren't for another hallmark characteristic of autism：Skyler formed no attachments.He didn't want to be held, much preferring to lie in his bed or sit in his car seat.He wouldn't look at me; sometimes, he even looked through me.
Once, when I took him to the doctor, we talked to a specialist who was of my size, age and who had the same hair color as me.When it was time to go, Skyler went to her instead of me—he couldn't tell us apart.When Skyler was three, he spent three days at Camp Courageous for disabled children in Iowa, and when he returned he didn't even recognize me.
The pain was almost unbearable.My own son didn't even know I was his mother.
I hid the pain, and we did the best we could for Skyler.We enrolled him in our local area educational agency preschool, where the teachers and speech pathologist worked hard to help Skyler connect with the world around him.They used pictures and computer voicemachines that spoke for him, and sign language.These devices gave me little glimpses of who Skyler was, even if he didn't understand who I was.“He will talk，” the speech pathologist insisted, but inside,_ I had given up hope.
The one dream I couldn't let go was to have Skyler understand that I was his mom.Even if I never heard him say “Mom”， I wanted to see the recognition in his eyes.
The summer of Skyler's fourth year was when it started.A smoldering (郁积的) ember of understanding in him sparked, and fanned by our efforts, steadily flamed.His first words were hardly recognizable, often out of context, never spontaneous.Then, slowly, he could point to an item and say a word.Then two words together as a request.Then spontaneous words.Each day, he added more and more recognizable words, using them to identify pictures and ask questions.We could see his understanding increase, till his eyes would seek out mine, wanting to comprehend.
“You Mom？” he said one day.
“Yes, Skyler, I'm Mom.”
He asked his teachers and caregivers, “You Mom？”
“No, Skyler, not Mom.”
“You my Mom？” he said back to me.
“Yes, Skyler, I'm your Mom.”
And finally, a rush of understanding in his eyes, “You my Mom.”
“Yes, Skyler, I'm your Mom.”
If those had been Skyler's only words ever, they would have been enough for me：My son knew I was his mother.
But Skyler wasn't done.
One evening I leaned against the headboard on Skyler's bed, my arms wrapped around him.He was cozily tucked between my legs, our bodies warm and snug as I read to him from one of his favorite books—a typical affectionate(深情的) scene between mother and son, but because of Skyler's autism, one that I could never take for granted.
I stopped reading.Skyler had interrupted me, leaning back his head so he could look me in the eyes.
“Yes, Skyler？”
And then the voice of an angel, the voice of my son, “I love you, Mom.”

阅读理解For many people，volunteering is a way of life.Holidays are the time of the year that more people are in a giving mood.Homeless shelters，children’s hospitals，and nursing homes are excellent places to give of one’s time.
Volunteering in Homeless Shelters
There is a homeless directory online that anyone can easily access to find the closest homeless shelter to their home.According to the homeless shelter directory，currently there are 3,233 shelters in the US，so it is not difficult to find a shelter.Helping to serve food，picking up donations of food，preparing meals，and cleaning up are things that one can do to help at a homeless shelter.
Volunteering in Children’s Hospitals
Every child needs comfort and joy，especially during the holiday seasons.By visiting sick children in hospitals，an individual provides helping hands by supplementing the services usually done by the hospital staff.Personalizing the hospital experience adds to the comfort and happiness of the children and their families.Volunteers provide help，and positive interactions (相互交流) which enhance the patient’s quality of care.Help is needed almost everywhere in a hospital；from the lobby，parking lot，cafeteria，to admitting，helping with the gift cart，and even reading to children in the waiting rooms or their hospital rooms.
Volunteering in Nursing Homes
According to the National Center for Health Statistics，“Over 50% of those living in nursing homes do not have close relatives and 46% have no living children.”
Life in a nursing home is lonely，confusing，and frightening for many residents.Volunteering at a nursing home is a great opportunity to make a difference in someone else’s life.Playing cards，sitting with and talking to a resident，taking a walk，or sharing a meal makes a huge difference，especially when they have no other sole on earth to visit them.
The three examples above are only a small fraction of institutions in which volunteers are needed.Giving of oneself，especially during the holidays blesses and cheers others.
