2017高考英语阅读理解解析版汇编（88）
阅读理解。阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance.It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected.When alcohol is consumed，it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depresant (抑制药)，damaging eyesight，judgement and coordination (协调)，slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents.Even below the drink driving limit，driving will be affected.
Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain.Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice.To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.
The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is：
●50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood；or
●22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath；or
●67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of uriue (尿液)．
Drivers who cause traffic accidents，or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.
Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged.The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 drivingoffence points；or temporarily banned from driving.
The same punishment applies to failing to provide speeimens(样本) for breath，blood or urine tests without good excuse.
Drink driving is a criminal offence.Be a responsible driver，think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users，never drive after consuming alcohol.

Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources (来源), as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills (风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.
For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground when electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.
During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.
风能早在公元前七世纪就开始被人们用风车所利用，当人们发明了电以后，风能被用来发电，但随着电的广泛使用，风车逐渐不被人们使用了。而进入二十世纪七十年代后，人们又逐渐认识到了风能的优势。
1．From the text we know that windmills ________.
A. were invented by European armies
B. have a history of more than 2,800 years
C. used to supply power to radio in remote areas
D. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered
答案：C。细节理解题。由第一段最后两句话可知风车首先是在古代伊朗被使用，故排除A项；公元前七世纪到现在应是不足2800年，故排除B项；由第二段当中的第二、三句话可以排除D项，同时也能知道C项是正确的。
．What was a new use for wind power in the late l9th century?
A. Sailing a boat.
B. Producing electricity.
C. Grinding wheat into flour. D. Pumping water from underground.
答案：B。细节理解题。由文章第二段中的第二句话可知“在十九世纪末期人们发现了电以后，住在偏远地区的人们开始用风车发电”。
．One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that ________.
A. wind power is cleaner
B. it is one of the oldest power sources
C. it was cheaper to create energy from wind
D. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs
答案：A。主旨大意题。由文章最后一段可知。
4．What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. The advantages of wind power.
B. The design of wind power plants.
C. The worldwide movement to save energy.
D. The global trend towards producing power from wind.
答案：D。推理判断题。文章最后一句话“如今，出现了一个全球化的运动，要通过风能的利用来提供越来越多的电力”，表明作者会就这个话题继续展开。

答案： B
After years of study，I have known there are only two types of people in this world：those who get to the airport early and those who arrive as the plane is about to take off.
If there were any justice in this world，the earlyairport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing and the lateairport people would be punished.But the earlyairport people get ulcers(溃疡)，heart attacks and bite their fingernails to the bone (急得团团转)．The lateairport people are hardly aware that they are flying.
A guy of that kind once said，“Don’t hurry.If you miss your flight，it’s because God didn’t want you to go.”This is clearly a guy who is never going to get an ulcer.
Earlyairport people suffer another“name”．They are called exactly what they are—wimps(懦夫)．I know I am an earlyairport person for years.My luggage will get on the plane first，which makes it the last luggage they take off the plane after landing.
Another strange thing：No matter how early I showed up，I was always told that someone had called two or three years ahead of me and asked for the best seat.I figured it was a trick.I figured there was someone in America who called every airline every day and said，“Is that wimp Simon flying somewhere today？If he is，give me his seat.”
After a lifetime arguing with my wife over whether I really have to pack 24 hours in advance and set the alarm clock four hours ahead，I have learned another fact about earlyairport people and lateairport people：
They always marry each other.
．We can learn from the passage that________.
A．lateairport persons often get ulcers or heart attacks
B．earlyairport persons are always relaxed during the flight
C．earlyairport persons get their luggage first after landing
D．lateairport persons always take things easy

答案： D
．The fifth paragraph mainly tells us________.
A．someone always plays tricks on the writer
B．the airlines usually fool passengers
C．earlyairport persons always can’t get good seats
D．the service of airlines is very bad
解析： 段落大意题。从第五段可知作者通过描述自己的亲身经历得出一个结论：早到机场的人往往不能得到想要的座位，故C选项正确。A项是作者的一个玩笑。因为他总是得不到想要的座位，所以才会说I figured it was a trick；B项和D项无法从第五段推出。
答案： C3．The purpose of writing the passage is to________.
A．give useful tips on taking a plane
B．offer advice about catching a plane
C．express the writer’s anxiety about taking planes
D．show peoples two attitudes toward catching planes
解析： 意图推测题。通读全文不难推断出作者写此文章主要介绍了人们对于赶飞机的两种截然不同的态度，故D选项正确。
答案： D
．It could be inferred that the writer’s wife is________.

C．a hottempered womanD．a sensitive woman
解析： 推理判断题。根据文章可知作者属于“早到机场的人。”文章的结尾提到了作者的另一个发现：早到机场的人总是与晚到机场的人结婚。由此，可推知作者的妻子属于“晚到机场的人”，故选B。
答案： B

C．humorous
D．ironic
解析： 推理判断题。综观全文，作者的写作风格诙谐幽默，妙趣横生，故选C。
答案： C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。Your glasses may someday replace your smartphone, and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch. Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.
“I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a. m. and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open,” said Walter Choo, 40, of Fort Greene.
The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600, the Times said, possibly including a variation of augmented(增强的) reality, a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings. So, for example, if you were walking down a street, indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.
“As far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isn't something anybody needs，” said Sam Biddle, who writes for Gizmodo.com. “We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things,” he added, “and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (装置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars.”
Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year, said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.
“It's just like smartphones 10 years ago,” Weintraub said. “A few people started getting emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones, and it's unnatural,” he said. “There's gonna be improvements to that, and this is a step there. "
1．One of the possible functions of the smartphone-like glasses is to ____.
A. program the opening hours of a bar
B. supply you with a picture of the future
C. provide information about your surroundings
D. update the maps and GPS in your smartphones
2．The underlined phrase "pop up" in the third paragraph probably means " ____".
A. develop rapidly
B. get round quickly
C. appear immediately
D. go over automatically
3．According to Sam Biddle, the smartphone-like glasses are ____.
A. necessary for teenagers
B. attractive to New Yorkers
C. available to people worldwide
D. expensive for average consumers
4．We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphone-like glasses ____.
A. may have a potential market
B. are as common as smartphones
C. are popular among young adults
D. will be improved by a new technology
试题分析：本文主要介绍了一种使用智能技术的新型眼镜，这种眼镜可以向用户提供周围环境的具体信息。
1．C 细节题。根据文章第三段2,3行including a variation of augmented(增强的) reality, a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings.可知Google眼镜这一技术可以给你提供周围环境的信息。故C正确。
2．C 猜测词义题。根据本句indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.以及上一句中的that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings.可知只有这一技术可以迅速得知你周围事物的信息，故该词表示C项含义。
3．D 细节题。根据文章第四段最后一句the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (装置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars. "可知目前这一产品的价格还不是普通人能够承受的。故D正确。
4．A
推理题。根据文章最后两段可知10年前人们认为智能手机是不可能的，但是10年以后这都是很常见的个人物品。作者以此来类推这一新技术，也就是说作者认为这一技术的潜在市场也是巨大的。故A正确。
