阅读理解
Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming lake behind his house.
In a hurry to dive into the cool water，he ran out the back door，leaving behind his shoes，socks，and shirt as he went.He flew into the water，not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake，an alligator (鳄鱼) was swimming toward the shore.
His mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer.In extreme fear，she ran toward the water，yelling to her son as loudly as she could.Hearing her voice，the little boy became alarmed and made a Uturn to swim to his mother.It was too late.Just as he reached her，the alligator reached him.
From the dock (码头)，the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs.That began an incredible tugofwar (拔河)．The alligator was much stronger than the mother，but the mother was much too passionate (感情强烈的)．A farmer happened to drive by，took aim and shot the alligator.
After weeks and weeks in the hospital，the little boy survived.The newspaper reporter asked if he would show him his scars.The boy lifted his legs，then，with obvious pride，he said to the reporter，“But look at my arms.I have great scars on my arms，too.I have them because my mom wouldn’t let go.”
Some scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret.But，some wounds are because love has refused to let go.

答案： D阅读理解2017·赣州市高三年级适应性考试I grew up with a fat dad—450 pounds at his heaviest.Every week he would try a new diet，and my family ended up eating whatever strange food he was trying at that moment.
After my thirdgrade year，my dad landed a lifechanging job in Manhattan.My mom，my little sister and I had to move away from our hometown，Chicago，and leave my grandmother and her beautiful food behind.
Leaving my grandmother was far more frightening than the move to New York City.There would be no more special weekends at my grandmother’s house，the only place I can remember feeling happy，safe and nourished (有营养的)．It was what I desired.In this new city，I felt extremely alone and lost，and I missed my grandmother terribly.
My grandmother knew just how I felt—And she knew the cure.Every week，she would send me a card with a $20 bill，a recipe and a list of what to buy at the market.It kept us bonded，and her recipes filled my body and soul.
Over the years，I have grown to better understand my father’s struggles with weight and the toll (代价) it took on him and those who love him.I have come to realize he was driven not by vanity (自负) or selfishness as much as by a deep pain.And in spite of growing up in such an unhealthy eating environment (or perhaps because of it)，as an adult I found a passion and a career as a nutrition consultant.
Today，my father weighs 220 pounds and is a vegan (素食者)．How he got there is a story I hope to share in the coming weeks.More importantly，food is no longer a barrier that keeps us apart，but a bridge that keep us connected.There is nothing my dad enjoys more than talking with me about dietary theories and his weightloss victories.And now I am the one regularly sending recipe cards to my father’s house，just as my grandmother did for me.

A．He was a man of vanity and selfishness.

C．He was more painful than selfish.
D．He forced his family to eat what he liked.
2．The author desired to go to his grandmother’s________.
A．to see his father B．for tasty food
C．for pocket money
D．to avoid his family
3．The underlined word “cure” in Paragraph 4 is the nearest in meaning to “________”．
A．solution B．concern
C．operation D．situation
4．The author became a nutrition consultant mainly because________.
A．his father often talked with him about dietary theories
B．he was determined to change his own daily habits
C．he wanted to study the recipes his grandmother had given him

答案：C2017·山东济宁模拟An alcohol breath test (ABT) is often used by the police to find out whether a person is drunk while driving.In the United States，the legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08% for people aged 21 years or older，while people under 21 are not allowed to drive a car with any level of alcohol in their body.A “positive” test result，a result over the legal limit，allows the police to arrest the driver.However，many people who tested positive on the test have claimed that they only drank a “nonalcoholic” energy drink.Can one of these energy drinks really cause someone to test positive on an ABT？Researchers in Missouri set up an experiment to find out.
First，the amount of alcohol in 27 different popular energy drinks was measured.All but one had an alcohol level greater than 0.005%.In nine of the 27 drinks，the alcohol level was at least 0.096%.The scientists then investigated the possibility that these small levels of alcohol could be discovered by an ABT.They asked test subjects to drink a full can or bottle of an energy drink and then gave each subject an ABT one minute and 15 minutes after the drink was finished.
For 11 of the 27 energy drinks，the ABT did find the presence of alcohol if the test was given within one minute after the drink was taken.However，alcohol could not be discovered for any of the drinks if the test was given 15 minutes after the drink was consumed.This shows that when the test is taken plays an important role in the test result.The sooner the test is conducted after the consumption of these drinks，the more likely a positive alcohol reading will be obtained.

答案： 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。Janelle was running late for work, so she just had time for a quick look at herself in the mirror as she was going out. What she saw there made her stop dead in her tracks.
Being a busy college student just one year removed from her teenage years, she wasn’t exactly obsessive-compulsive(有强迫观念和行为的) about the neatness of her clothes. But her boss at the restaurant where she works saw things a little differently. He had recently lectured the entire staff on the importance of appearance, and had specifically mentioned the need for servers to wear clean, unwrinkled blouses. As an assistant manager, Janelle felt it was important to set an example for the other employees. But if she stopped to iron the blouse normally, she would be late —and work without delay was an area of even greater concern to her boss.
So she grabbed her iron and plugged it in and set it for low heat. Carefully holding her blouse away from her body, she continued to iron it while she was wearing it. It seemed like a logical answer to an urgent problem.
And it seemed to be working until Janelle tried to iron the collar and accidentally ironed her neck by mistake. Then it suddenly seemed like a really stupid idea and a really painful one as well. It took more time to treat her burn than it would have taken to iron her shirt properly. And she spent a miserable shift dealing with the pain of the burn.
We’ve all been there, haven’t we? For me it was cutting my own hair. For a former roommate it was trying to pull his own wisdom teeth. For another college acquaintance, it was trying to change the oil in his car while the motor was still running.
“There’s a right way and a wrong way of doing things,” Dad used to tell me whenever I’d spoil the look of our yard by trying out a faster, easier and more creative way of pulling weeds or edging the lawn. “If a thing is worth doing,” he said, “it’s worth doing it right.” There’s a reason why certain things are done in certain ways. Those old, boring, predictable ways work.

A．Jenelle had no sense of responsibility at work
B．Jenelle failed to set an example for employees in daily work
C．Jenelle didn’t care about the neatness of her clothes at all
D．Jenelle’s boss put doing something on time above appearance
3．What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?
A．We all have done loads of things like Janelle.
B．We are careful enough in daily life.
C．We all have done something creative.
D．We all have tried to iron clothes while we are wearing them.
4．What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph ?
A．Be creative.
B．A bad beginning makes a bad ending.
