广西来宾市2017高考英语一轮阅读理解专练（10）含答案
2016高考训练题。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。In a room at Texas Children Cancer Center in Houston, eight-year-old Simran Jatar lay in bed with a drip (点滴) above her to fight her bone cancer. Over her bald head, she wore a pink hat that matched her clothes. But the third grader’s cheery dressing didn’t mask her pain and weary eyes.
Then a visitor showed up. “Do you want to write a song?” asked Anita Kruse, 49, rolling a cart equipped with an electronic keyboard, a microphone and speakers. Simran stared. “Have you ever written a poem?” Anita Kruse continued. “Well, yes,” Simran said.
Within minutes, Simran was reading her poem into the microphone“Some bird soaring through the sky,” she said softly. “Imagination in its head…” Anita Kruse added piano music, a few warbling (鸣,唱) birds, and finally the girl’s voice. Thirty minutes later, she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song.
That was the beginning of Anita Kruse’s project, Purple Songs Can Fly, one that has helped more than 125 young patients write and record songs. As a composer and pianist who had performed at the hospital, Kruse said that the idea of how she could help “came in one flash”.
The effect on the kids has been great. One teenage girl, curling (蜷缩) in pain in her wheelchair, stood unaided to dance to a hip-hop song she had written. A 12-year-old boy with Hodgkin’s disease who rarely spoke surprised his doctors with a song he called I Can Make It.
“My time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the severity of their illnesses,” says Anita Kruse. “But they also make you happy, when the children are smiling, excited to share their CD with their families.”
Simran is now an active sixth grader and cancer-free. From time to time, she and her mother listen to her song, Always Remembering, and they always remember the “really sweet and nice and loving” lady who gave them a shining moment in the dark hour.

（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：说明文 话题：人生认知 词数：657 时间：8′
We have all heard the expression：“Remember to stop and smell the roses.” But，how often do we really take time out of our hectic fastpaced lives to notice the world around us?
I am as guilty as anyone of tuning out the world in this manner，especially when I am driving on California's overcrowded streets.A short time ago，however，I witnessed an event that showed me how being wrapped up in my own little world has kept me from being fully aware of the bigger world picture around me.
I was driving to a business appointment and，as usual，I was planning in my mind what I was going to say.I came to a very busy crossroads where the stoplight had just turned red.“All right，” I thought to myself，“I can beat the next light if I race ahead of the pack.”My mind and car were in auto pilot，ready to go when suddenly my trance was broken by an unforgettable sight.A young couple，both blind，were walking arminarm across this busy crossroads with cars whizzing by in every direction.The man was holding the hand of a little boy，while the woman was clutching a baby sling to her chest，obviously carrying a child.Each of them had a white cane extended，searching for clues to navigate them across the crossroads.
Initially I was moved.They were overcoming what I felt was one of the most feared handicaps—blindness.“Wouldn't it be terrible to be blind？” I thought.Without realizing the danger they were in，they were walking right the path of oncoming cars.I was frightened for them because I didn't know if the other drivers understood what was happening.
As I watched from the front line of traffic (I had the best seat in the house)，I saw a miracle unfold before my eyes.Every__car__in__every__direction__came__to__a__simultaneous__stop．I never heard the screech of brakes or even the peep of a car horn.Nobody even yelled，“Get out of the way！” Everything froze.In that moment，time seemed to stand still for this family.Amazed，I looked at the cars around me to verify that we were all seeing the same thing，I noticed that everyone's attention was also fixed on the couple.Never skipping a beat，the couple adjusted their course as they followed the coaching.Trusting their white canes and the calls from some concerned citizens，they made it to the other side of the road.As they arrived at the curb，one thing struck me—they were still arminarm.I was taken aback by the emotionless expressions on their faces and judged that they had no idea what was really going on around them.Yet I immediately sensed the sighs of relief exhaled by everyone stopped at that intersection.
As I glanced into the cars around me，the driver on my right was mouthing the words “oh，did you see that？！” The driver to the left of me was saying，“I can't believe it！” I think all of us were deeply moved by what we had just witnessed.Here were human beings stepping outside themselves for a moment to help four people in need.
I have reflected back on this situation many times since it happened and have learned several powerful lessons from it.Take time to look around and really see what is going on in front of you right now.Do this and you will realize that this moment is all there is，more importantly，this moment is all that you have to make a difference in life.
As I drove away from that busy intersection，I did so with more awareness of life and compassion for others than I had arrived there with.Since then I have made the decision to really see life as I go about my daily activities and use my Godgiven talents to help others less fortunate.
Do yourself a favor as you walk through life：Slow down and take the time to really see.Take a moment to see what is going on around you right now，right where you are.You may be missing something wonderful.

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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I’ve been in the taxicab business for thirty-five years, and I know there is a lot about it that is not so good. Taxicab drivers have to be tough fellows to be able to work in New York. You’ve got to fight the New York traffic eight hours a day these days, so people get the wrong impression that they are bad.
Actually, taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them will behave as honest fellows. You read in the papers almost every week that a taxi driver turns in money or jewels that people leave in their cabs. If they weren’t honest, you wouldn’t be reading those stories in the papers.
One time in Brooklyn, I found a diamond ring in my cab. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of packages that day, so I went back to where I had dropped her. It took me almost two days to trace her down in order to return her ring to her. I didn’t get as much as “thank you”. Still I felt good because I had done what was right. I think I felt better than she did.
I was born and raised in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. Then I came to this country where I had a family and bought my own cab. Life hasn’t been too easy at times, but my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit put away for a rainy day.
When I started driving a cab, Park Avenue was mostly a bunch of coal yards. Hoofer’s Brewery was right next to where the Waldorf-Astoria is now. I did pretty well, even in those days. In all my years of driving a taxicab, I have never had any trouble with the public, not even with drunks.
I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts. I know they call it a lot of fancy names these days, like integrity (正直), etc. But it doesn’t make any difference what they call it; it’s still what makes a man a good citizen. This is my code, and I try to live by.
1. Why do people think taxicab drivers are bad according to the passage?
A. They have been cheated by taxicab drivers before.
B. Taxicab drivers are dishonest.
C. Most taxicab drivers are tough fellows.
D. Some taxicab drivers did not return their lost properties.
2. How did the author return the diamond ring to the lady?
A. By giving her a call and visiting her.
B. By sending her a letter asking her to claim the ring in person.
C. By advertising in the papers.
D. By going back to where she got off and traced her down for almost 2 days.
3. The underlined phrase “a rainy day” in paragraph 4 refers to ______.
A. a day when it rains
B. a time when a family has financial problems
C. a day when the author can’t drive a taxi
D. a time when the author has trouble with drunks
4. How does the author feel as a taxicab driver?
A. Proud and satisfied.
B. Annoyed and stressful.
C. Disappointed and discouraged.
D. Unwilling and regretful.

With her pretty face and soulful voice, Zhang Bichen was instantly thought a possible champion when she first set foot on the stage of the TV show The Voice of China.
On Oct 7, 2017, the 25 - year - old girl won the fierce competition and received the title of the “Voice of the Year”. Zhang’s dream of being a singer star came true at last. What impressed people was not only Zhang’s singing skills, but her willingness to make an effort. “I gained the opportunity to sing on The Voice of China,” she said.
In fact, being a singer has always been her dream. She wanted to apply to a college for singing, but her parents insisted that she should have a stable job after graduation because she did very well at academic studies.

To pursue her dream, Zhang signed a contract with the company, started her career in South Korea, and became a member of a band.

But I could only phone my parents in the restroom when nobody noticed.” said Zhang. “When I did not have much income, I had to eat instant noodles every day for months.”
It was her positive attitude and outgoing character that helped her through. “When I feel down, I tell myself it is not winning or losing that matters. The most important things are standing on the stage and singing for people.” she said.
