2016年湖北武汉市高考英语阅读理解二轮基础训练（56）（含答案）
阅读理解—主旨大意题、标题概括题。
(2015年河南焦作调研)
What's your idea of a good time? What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look like ants?
It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer. Why ? Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals.
Held on a farm, the time Glastonbury Festival is the most well-know and popular in the UK. It began in 1970 and was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of £1 including free milk from the farm.
Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength—in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying £112 for tickets to the three-day event. Tickets for the event sold out within three hours. Acts included veteran superstars such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone. Although many summer festivals are run on a profit-making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities.
Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money for global poverty. In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts will be held simultaneously in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin. Superstars such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder will perform in order to highlight international poverty and debt.

London, Pares, Rome and Berlin are famous for outdoor music festivals
Some superstars are concerned about global poverty.

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。For most teachers, a day never seems long enough to get all the planning, teaching or paper correcting done. Parent volunteers, if available, can do a lot of help.
Teachers can benefit from such help. New books can be marked Computers can be turned on or shut off properly. Teaching equipment can be cleaned and stored away. The list of jobs that parent volunteers can do is endless. Some schools even provide a coordinator to introduce these volunteers to teachers.
It is important to make sure volunteers feel useful and are given a variety of tasks to do. When a volunteer realizes there is no real contribution to make, he or she will not come back. Sometimes being given too many boring repetitive tasks drives volunteers away, too.
A teacher who wants to use the service of volunteers successfully should give time to the planning of tasks. Make a list of possible tasks for the volunteer to do. The tasks can be kept in a notebook. Information such as class schedule, names of students and school rules could also be included in the notebook. When the volunteer arrives, the teacher may not immediately have an opportunity to explain tasks. The volunteer can then check the notebook and pick a job on his or her own decision.
It is obvious that the class benefits from having adults. Children often behave better with the volunteer near them. Some volunteers work one-on-one with children or with small groups, helping children get needed attention. The volunteer can complete paper correcting or other tasks listed above, freeing the teacher for more teaching time.
Meanwhile, parent volunteers do need to understand that any information about children is to remain confidential. They should be coached on appropriate methods in a school system. They especially need to be careful of what they say.
1. The first two paragraphs imply that ________.
A. teachers should ask parents for help in class

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、D）中，选出最佳选项。Finally, I entered the university. Because of my careful savings, I did not have to work during the school year. Then, summer came and it was time to work harder than ever. I continued working as a waitress at night, instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons. I even decided to take a class at a community (社区) college. This class at the community college saved me $650. It was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the university.
During my second and third years of undergraduate schooling, I decided to work about five hours per week in the campus (校园) admissions office answering phones. This provided a little spending money and kept me from drawing my savings out. I wanted to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks, but I hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me $1,600 more to get the credits in Israel. About two weeks later my Mom called to tell me that I had $1,600 in the bank that I had forgotten about! One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost, but the loss of time to make money; however, I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before. The way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me.
This experience has shaped me in many important ways. The first thing that I learned was the importance of a strong work ethic (伦理). Working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of a dollar. It also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations.

（4）D. 主旨大意题。由最后一段首句可知。It's a common belief that over time, pet owners start to look like their animals, and vice versa. Now comes the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and copy their behaviour.
Next time you reach for your fridge, think twice. If your kitty is watching, she is likely to overeat as well.
What is your cat's IQ?
In a new study from the University of Messina, it turns out that indoor cats who live closely to their owners “mirror” the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, and can even become more or less social depending on the behaviour of their owners.
?Cats are intelligent animals with a long memory, ”Jane Brunt, the executive director of the Catalyst Council, told Discovery News. ?They watch and learn from us, noting the patterns of our actions, knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door that's been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting areas are.”Because cats copy our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding(搜刮)the fridge, your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why “human and cat overweight rates often seem to match”．So, if you feel guilty about leaving your precious kitty at home while you go to work, now you can feel even worse：you are making your cat fat!
There's no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to yoga will benefit your cat, but based on the study, it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping schedule is best for both of you.
There's a lot we can learn from our cats in return. “When they sit on our laps softly purring with rhythmic breathing and halfclosed eyes, the sense of peace and calm that comes over us is like a private lesson in inner meditation，”Brunt said. Sure. But cats don't have to sit in rush hour traffic for an hour a day or worry about their inlaws. They're probably pretty good at remaining calm.
So, according to science, even though we assume that cats are not close to us all these years, it turns out they are in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh?
1．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A．Cats can copy humans' schedule.
B．Humans can learn from cats in some way.
C．Cats are smart and have a long memory.
D．Green tea and yoga can benefit cats.
2．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A．Humans' keeping searching the fridge.
B．Cats' going to their owners for food.
C．Cats' copying humans' habit of looking for food.
D．Humans' leaving cats home while working.
3．What can we learn from our cats?
A．To remain calm.
B．To be able to copy.
C．To stay proud.
D．To look up to friends.
4．The best title for the passage could be
“________”．
A．Your cat can bring you pleasure
B．You are copying your cat
C．You can make your cat social
D．Your cat is copying your habit
【要点综述】本文是一篇有关养宠物猫的科普文章。宠物猫和主人待的时间长了会模仿主人的习惯，而人也能从猫身上学习一些好的习惯。
1．D 推理判断题。根据文章的“There's no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to yoga will benefit your cat…”可知D项错误。
