　　2017届吉林省双辽市高考英语一轮复习阅读理解训练1

　　【2016高考训练】阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

　　London's newest skyscraper (摩天大楼) is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build.At a height of almost 310 metres，it is the tallest building in Europe.The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London.However，not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.

　　The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano.When he began designing the Shard for London，Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire(尖顶)．He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city.The sides of the building aren't regular.So the building has an unusual shape.It looks like a very thin，sharp piece of broken glass.And that is how the building got the name：the Shard.Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition.The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts(桅杆) of the ships that were once on the river Thames.

　　The Shard has 87 floors.At the top，there is an observatory.At the moment the building is empty，but eventually there will be a five­star hotel.There will also be top quality restaurants，apartments and offices.

　　Before building work began，a lot of people didn't want the Shard though the plans were approved.Now they are still unhappy about the Shard.Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York，but not in London.They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape.But that is the only thing.There is no decoration，only flat surfaces.The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago.They also think the Shard is too big for London.It destroys the beauty of the city.

　　Other critics don't like what the Shard seems to represent.They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal.Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel.But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London.So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.

　　The Shard now dominates the London skyline.It is not certain，however，that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.

　　1．London's newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of ________.

　　A．its cost

　　B．its size

　　C．its shape

　　D．its height

　　2．When he designed the Shard，Piano wanted it to ________.

　　A．change London's skyline

　　B．inherit London's tradition

　　C．imitate the Egyptian style

　　D．attract potential visitors

　　．The critics who refer to social division think the Shard ________.

　　A．is only preferred by the rich

　　B．is intended for wealthy people

　　C．is far away from the poor area

　　D．is popular only with Londoners

　　．Which would be the best title for the passage?

　　A．The Shard：Cheers and Claps

　　B．The Shard：Work of a Great Architect

　　C．The Shard：New Symbol of London?

　　D．The Shard：A Change for the Better?

　　答案：

　　【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。介绍了英国伦敦的地标性建筑——约310米高的欧洲第一高楼——“碎片大厦”。有人说这栋摩天大楼使伦敦看起来更漂亮，但更有批评意见一直伴随着大楼的诞生。

　　1．C　解析：细节理解题。由第二段中的“It looks like a very thin，sharp piece of broken glass.And that is how the building got the name：the Shard.”可知，这栋楼的名字的由来是其外形像一块很薄、很锋利的碎玻璃片，因此选C项“它的形状”，而非它的“花费、尺寸或高度”。

　　．B　解析：细节理解题。第二段中的Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition.(Piano说“碎片大厦”的尖顶外形是伦敦伟大传统的一部分。)解释了设计师的想法，与B项“继承伦敦的传统”相吻合。A项“改变伦敦的天际线”是结果而不是设计初衷，C项“模仿埃及风格”及D项“吸引潜在的游客”文中均未涉及。

　　．B　解析：细节理解题。由第五段中的“Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel.”可知，谈到社会分化的批评家认为“碎片大厦”是“专为有钱人设计的(is intended for wealthy people)”。

　　．D　解析：主旨大意题。全文介绍了欧洲第一高楼——英国伦敦的“碎片大厦”。由第一段的最后一句“However，not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.”可知，对于这个改变，毁誉参半，故D项“碎片大厦：更好的改变？”作为标题最为合适。A项“碎片大厦：欢呼与掌声”只关注了支持者，不够全面。

　　2016高考训练--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Do Algebra (代数) problems 15 through 25. Give the different forms of the verbs on page 50 of your French workbook. Read page 12 through 20 of the Shakespeare play, and when you have finished that, don’t forget to fill the missing chemical symbols on the Periodic Table of Elements worksheet.

　　Homework is a major part of going to class, and it helps students grasp important concepts. Luckily, you can do a few things to make homework less painful.

　　First, be sure you understand the assignment. Write it down in your notebook or day planner if you need to, and don’t be afraid to ask questions about what is expected. It is much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later at night!

　　Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework. Many schools have study halls that are specifically designed to allow students to study or get homework done. It is attractive to hang out with friends during study periods or unscheduled time, but the more work you can get done in school, the less you will have to do at night.

　　Third, pace yourself. If you don’t finish your homework during school, think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day, and then budget your time. Most high school students have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy-homework day and it seems like you have got an assignment on every subject but gym and lunch, you will need to devote more time to homework schedule, especially if you are involved in sports or activities or have an after-school job.

　　32. The first paragraph is probably _______.

　　A. examination items

　　B. a list of homework.

　　C. some teacher tasks

　　D. some learning methods

　　33. What is the author’s attitude towards homework’s effect on students?

　　A. Opposing.

　　B. Impatient.

　　C. Approving.

　　D. Concerned.

　　34. One way to reduce your burden of homework at night is to _____.

　　A. take part in studying teams

　　B. appeal for teachers’ aid at any time

　　C. focus full attention on teachers’ lecture

　　D. make full use of the time at school

　　35. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

　　A. Why students should do homework

　　B. How to make homework less work

　　C. It is high time teachers gave less homework

　　D. Who is to blame for children’s poor eyesight

　　Life in the Clear

　　Transparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window. These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet—as far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They never touch anything unless they’re eating it, or unless something is eating them.”

　　And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through? It’s trickier than you might think.

　　The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter(散射) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.

　　But a transparent object doesn’t absorb or scatter light, at least not very much, Light can pass through it without bending or stopping. That means a transparent object doesn’t look very different from the surrounding air or water. You don’t see it ----you see the things behind it.

　　To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments(色素) that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesn’t have pigments, so its tissues won’t absorb light. According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.

　　Animals are built of many different materials----skin, fat, and more----and light moves through each at a different speed. Every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be see—through. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-lie(果冻状的)material and spread themselves over it .

　　Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. They need to look uniform. But how they’re doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.

　　63. According to Paragraph 1, transparent animals_______.

　　A. stay in groups

　　B. can be easily damaged

　　C. appear only in deep ocean

　　D. are beautiful creatures

　　64. The underlined word “dead” in Paragraph 3 means__________.

　　A. silently

　　B. gradually

　　C. regularly

　　D. completely

　　65. One way for an animal to become transparent is to ________.

　　A. change the direction of light travel

　　B. gather materials to scatter light.

　　C. avoid the absorption of light

　　D. grow bigger to stop light.

　　66. The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals________.

　　A. move more slowly in deep water

　　B. stay see-through even after death

　　C. produce more tissues for their survival

　　D. take effective action to reduce light spreading

　　65.C 推理判断题。根据第五段第一句To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light。可知，想变透明就要避免散射或吸收光线，因此其中的一个方法是C选项，避免光线的吸收。故选C。

　　66.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句中的make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does可以推断出D为正确答案。其中slowdown对应reduce。故选D。

　　【考点定位】科技类说明文

　　I grew up in a family that ate dinner together every evening. Although my parents enjoyed wine, they rarely drank during the week and always in moderation (节制). As for myself, I wasn’t interested in alcoholic drinks and neither were my high school friends.

　　So when I arrived on campus for my first year of university life, I was a bit shocked. Many different events had been organized for the freshmen, but they all had one thing in common ― alcohol, and plenty of it. Not wanting to be left out, I joined a few of the events. But I always returned home early, feeling disappointed. Your personality, interests and experiences didn’t matter at all, only how many alcoholic drinks you could absorb before passing out (喝醉). It seemed shallow to me. I wanted to get to know my new coursemates, not how fast they could down a pint of beer.

　　Gradually, however, I realized that real friends don’t judge you by how much you can drink and there were other ways of making friends. I joined a photography society, took a first aid course, and every weekend I went cycling with a coursemate. I found that by engaging in these activities and sharing the fun of learning new skills together in a group, I formed much stronger bonds with my new friends than even the strongest alcoholic drinks could encourage.

　　Another valuable lesson I learned is that it’s perfectly okay to say “No” if you don’t want to drink. However, in many Western societies, especially the UK, binge drinking (狂喝) has become the norm. Many people who drink don’t necessarily want to, but they give in to the peer pressure (同伴压力)― they’re afraid to say “No”.

　　1. What shocked the author when he entered university?

　　A. The strange campus.

　　B. The popularity of alcohol.

　　C. The drunken coursemates.

　　D. The limited activities.

　　2. Why did the author return home early from the events at first?

　　A. He wasn’t good at drinking.

　　B. He had no familiar coursemates.

　　C. He hated the way people got along.

　　D. He was left out by the organizers.

　　3. How did the author finally make real friends at university?

　　A. By saying “No” to alcoholic drinks.

　　B. By staying away from group activities.

　　C. By giving in to the peer pressure.

　　D. By joining people with common interests.
