广西来宾市2017高考英语一轮阅读理解专练（7）含答案
2016高考模拟题。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。Many cities have subways and underground public transportation to take locals and tourists alike rapidly around the city．However, there’s something different about riding a London subway．It may not look different, but the historical value of one of England’s most popular forms of transportation is enough to make riding the subway a must when visiting London．With a little under 100 different stations, the subway can take you almost anywhere you need to go．
Riding a London subway, a person from other countries will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other．In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times．That’s not rudeness ― people are just too busy to bother looking．
Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet thinking．Nor are they reading a book．New technology has replaced quiet habits．Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book．
Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters（使用月票上下班者）．Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000―yes, that’s 40,000 “apps” have been designed．
Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers．One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks．Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination．iSteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone．You can then write in the “steam” on your phone screen．
For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction（消遣）of choice．It’s not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music－iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages．
And if games, e-books and music aren’t enough to keep you occupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV shows or films on the way to work．With all these distractions, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train．
1．Those who want to save time to reach where they go can download ______ to their iPhones．
A．iShoot
B．Tube Exits
C．iSteam
D．iPod
2．People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because ______．
A．they are going to work and have no time to communicate with each other
B．they love reading books and do not want to be disturbed
C．they feel sleepy because of getting up early
D．they are busy playing games, reading e-books, listening to music or watching films
3．The underlined word “apps” in the fourth paragraph means ______．
A．computers
B．programs downloaded for the iPhone
C．computer companies
D．fortune from London commuters
4.．The main idea of the passage is that ______．
A．London commuters are unfriendly to strangers
B．Apple has earned a lot of money from selling 40,000 apps
C．technology is changing how London commuters spend their traveling time
D．riding a London subway is a must when visiting London1.B细节理解题。根据Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination．故选B。
2.D细节理解题。根据最后一段可知人们在地铁里没空看别人，是因为大家都忙于玩游戏读电子书听音乐或看电影，故选D。
3..B词义猜测题。根据have been designed可知它是电脑里已经设计好的程序，故选B。
4..C主旨大意题。整篇短文叙述了伦敦的人们是怎样打发他们在做地铁的时间的，故选C。

You don't need to get in a timetraveling machine to see how technology will reshape our lives, such as the way we shop. Several new technologies that are to change your buying habits already exist.Let's see what's in store for your future shopping.
Try it on, virtually (虚拟地). Want to shop online for a new pair of eyeglasses? You don't need to guess which pair looks best on you—use the eBay Fashion iPhone app(程序) to try a pair of eyewear you're checking out on a picture of your face. But what if you want to buy something bigger? Thanks to Microsoft Kinect's motion tracking camera, you can cover clothes on your screen body.
You can even choose the background of your virtual fitting room to enrich your shopping experience.
Get a perfect, custom fit. Everyone's body is shaped differently. To get a perfect fit, you sometimes have to get your clothes changed. But by using 3D scanning technology, all the clothes you buy will fit your body perfectly.Some companies scan your body using Hightech to get the most accurate measurements,
so they can make special clothes just for you.
Hightech shopping carts and checkout counters. Hightech shopping carts could, in time, be a common sight in malls and supermarkets. Microsoft Kinectenabled carts are currently under test.
The cart can follow you along the aisles (通道), controlled merely by your movement and your voice. In China, a supermarket chain introduced tabletequipped carts that guide shoppers around the stores' aisles.
In the United States, several supermarkets use a device called Scan It that gives buyers the freedom to scan purchases on their own while they shop.
While it's great not having to line up at a checkout counter, we wouldn't mind it if the store used Toshiba's new Object Recognition Scanner. The machine identifies a product as soon as it's placed in front of a camera just by its shape and color, even if it has no bar code.

阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。体裁：影评 话题：电影故事 词数：370 时间：8′
Few of us haven't read Cinderella，the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams.Some might not want to admit it，but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone's heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity(默默无闻)．
Mary Santiago has that secret dream，too.Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story，a film set in a U．S.high school.
Mary is shy but loves to dance.Compared with other girls，she is invisible.However，her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer，Joey Parker，appears.
Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind，handsome and desirable.Mary and Joey's paths cross at a ball.They meet and fall in love with each other.But when Mary has to rush back home，she leaves behind her MP3 player，which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams.Of course，there
is a wicked stepmother，who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies.Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn't get into the top dance school.Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary，even if that means embarrassing her.
The story，though it mostly follows Cinderella，does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale.Refreshingly，the film，unlike many high school films，does not focus on looks，although the actors are all beautiful.There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.
“The movie takes the Cinderella fairy tale as its jumpingoff point，” writes the movie critic Amber Wilkinson.“Yet the focus is firmly on following your dream.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇影评。讲述的是一部以灰姑娘的童话故事为蓝本的新电影——《灰姑娘之舞动奇迹》。

B．The movie is as good as the story Cinderella.

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。On a sunny day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.
Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football. Once they'd rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.
"Everything went quiet in my head," Tim recalls (回忆). "I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line."
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. "At one point, I considered turning back," he says. "I wondered if I was putting my life at risk." After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, "Take down the umbrella!"
Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him.
"Let's aim for the pier (码头)," Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. "Can you guys swim?" he cried. "A little bit," the boys said.
Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys' faces.
“Are we almost there?" they asked again and again. "Yes," Tim told them each time.
After 30minutes, they reached the pier.
1. Why did the two boys go to the sea?
A. To go boat rowing.
B. To swim in the open water.
C. To get back their football.
D. To test the umbrella as a sail.
2. What does "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The beach.
B. The wind.
C. The boat.
D. The water.
3. Why did Tim raise his head regularly?
A. To check his distance from the boys.
B. To consider turning back or not.
C. To take in enough fresh air.
D. To ask the boys to take down the umbrella.
4. How did the two boys finally reach the pier?
A. They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back.
B. They swam to the pier all by themselves.
C. They were washed to the pier by the waves.
D. They were dragged to the pier by Tim.
