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。
Leaders of the World Health Organization say they are concerned about the air quality and
health efiects on citizens during a recent outbreak of heavy pollution in Beijing．Still，they said they
were unsure of the exact amount the air pollution takes on any person’s body，casting doubts on
local reports tying the area’s dirty air to particular cases of illness．
Speaking at a briefing(情况介绍会)on Tuesday，the WHO’s Western Pacific regional director，
Shin Young—Soo，cited(列举)reports about poor air quality causing lung cancer in recent weeks.
“The WHO is skeptical of the information，”she said．“We’re cautious of whether the illness is related
to air po11ution. We know it has an impact on health，but we don’t know how much．”
The officials didn’t cite particular reports．The comments follow a number of articles since late
last year connecting some cases of diseases like lung cancer with pollution，．including one in
November regarding an 8-year-old girl．
The health impact of Beijing’s gray skies has been on the minds of many over the past week。Local
authorities on Tuesday preserved an orange alert(警报)一the city’s second highest pollution-warning
level—and again warned people to stay indoors．Experts widely agree that small particulates(颗粒)
known as PM2.5 carry significant short-and long-term health risks，particularly with children．Other
studies find a certain link between pollution and shorter life spans。
Chinese state media have noted a rise in cancer levels in Beijing,without specifying(具体说明)
whether the new cases are the main result of pollution,smoking,other sources or some combination．
Bernhard Schwartlander，the organization’s China chief，said he is concerned and has been in
contact with national authorities．“There is no easy solution,”Dr. Schwartlainder said，adding that
solving the problem requires managing industry and the economy．WHO leaders advised citizens．to
stay indoors and limit exposure to the harmful particulates．When asked if wearing a face mask has
any proven efficacy in preventing health effects of air pollution，Dr. Schwartlainder said，“Whatever
you do，it’s better than nothing.”
1．We can learn from the passage that
.
A．in case of an orange alert, we had better not go outside
B．the case of the girl with lung cancer was little’ linked to air pollution
C．cancer levels in Beijing are rising due to heavy air pollution

With the tears streaming down her face，she put her two hands to her lips，and kissed them to Him; then clasped(紧握着)them on her breast，as if she laid his ruined head there．
“You are not the gaoler’s(监狱长)daughter ?”
She sighed“No. ”
“Who are you ?”
Not yet trusting the tones of her voice，she sat down on the bench beside him．He drew back
but she laid her hand upon his arm．A strange thrill struck him when she did so, and visibly passed
over his frame; he laid the knife down softly，as he sat staring at her．
Her golden hair，which she wore in long curls，had been hurriedly pushed aside，and fell down
over her neck．Advancing his hand by little and little，he took it up and looked at it．In the middle
of the action he went astray，and，with another deep sigh，fell to work at his shoemaking．
But lot for long．Releasing his arm，she laid her hand upon his shoulder．After looking
doubtfully at it，two or three times，as if to be sure that it was really there，he laid down his work，
put his hand to his neck，and took off a blackened string with a scrap of folded rag attached to it．
He opened this，carefully，on his knee，and it contained a very little quantity of hair：not more than
one or two long golden hairs，which he had，in some old day，wound on upon his finger．
He took her hair into his hand again，and looked closely at it．“It is the same．How can it be!
When was it! How was it!”
As the concentrating expression returned to his forehead，he seemed to become conscious that
it was in hers too．He turned her full to the light，and looked at her．
“She had laid her head upon my shoulder，that night when I was summoned(传唤)out—she
had a fear of my going，though I had none—and when I was brought to the North Tower they
found these upon my sleeve．‘You will leave me them? They can never help me to escape in the
body，though they may in the spirit．’Those were the words I said．I remember them very well. ”
He formed this speech with his lips many times before he could utter it．But when he did find
spoken words for it，they came to him coherently(连贯地)，though slowly．
“How was this?一Was it you? ”
1．The underlined word“it” in the passage refers to“
”.
A．her hair
B．her hand
C．his arm
D．his shoulder
2．The passage is most probably taken from
.
A．a chant
B．a drama
C．a novel
D．an essay
3．From the passage，we can infer that
.
A．the lady was the gaoler’s friend
B．the man lived a peaceful life
C．they hadn’t seen each other for years
D．they made a happy conversation

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。
A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly，courteous and helpful most Americans were to them．To be fair，this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians，and should best be considered North American．There are，of course，exceptions．Small-minded officials，rude waiters，and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US．Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment．For a long period of time and in many parts of the country, a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence．
Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another．Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of diversion，and brought news of the outside world．The harsh realities of the frontier also shaped this tradition of hospitality．
Someone traveling alone，if hungry，injured，or ill，often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement．It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers．It reflected the harshness of daily life： if you didn‘t take in the stranger and take care of him，there was no one else who would．And someday，remember，you might be in the same situation．Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the weary traveler．Yet，the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US，especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist trails．“I was just traveling through，got talking with this American，and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner—amazing．” Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon，but are not always understood properly．
1．In the eyes of visitors from the outside world，___________．
A．rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US
B．small-minded officials deserve a serious comment
C．Canadians are not so friendly as their neighbors
D．most Americans are ready to offer help
2．It could be inferred from the last paragraph that ___________．
A．culture exercises an influence over social interrelationship
B．courteous convention and individual interest are interrelated
C．various virtues manifest themselves exclusively among friends
D．social interrelationships equal the complex set of cultural conventions
3．Families in frontier settlements used to entertain strangers ___________．
A．to improve their hard life
B．in view of their long-distance travel
C．to add some flavor to their own daily life
D．out of a charitable impulse

A．tends to be superficial and artificial
B．is generally well kept up in the united States
C．is always understood properly
D．has something to do with the busy tourist trails

【由山东省2017高考仿真冲刺卷（）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。While watching the Olympics the other night，I came across an unbelievable sight．It was not a gold medal，or a world record broken，but a show of courage．
The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks．For one reason or another，two of them false started，so they were disqualified．That left only one to compete．It would have been difficult enough，not having anyone to race against，even though the time on the clock is important．
I watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that something was wrong．I’m not an expert swimmer，but I can tell a good dive from a poor one，and this was not exactly medal quality．When he resurfaced，it was evident that the man was not out for gold – his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle．The crowd started to laugh．Clearly this man was not a medal competitor．
I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time．Finally he made his turn to start back．It was pitiful．He made a few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out．But in those few awful strokes，the crowd had changed．
No longer were they laughing，but beginning to cheer．Some even began to stand and shout “Come on，you can do it!” and he did．
A clear minute past the average swimmer，this young man finally finished his race．The crowd went wild．You would have thought that he had won the gold，and he should have．Even though he recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history，this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors．

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。
In June, 2007, a group of students from eight high schools in Winnipeg, the capital of Canada’s Manitoba province, will begin test-launching (试发射) a satellite the size of a Rubik’s cube.
The one-kilogram Win-Cube satellite, named for its home city and its shape, will be put into low orbit. Once in space, it can perform for a few months or up to several years, communicating information that could help find the early signs of earthquakes.
There are 80 similar satellite projects worldwide, but this is the first high-school based program of its kind in Canada. 30 Manitoba high school students are having a hand in designing and building the satellite, in cooperation with aerospace (航空航天的) experts and 10 students from the University of Manitoba, and with support from two other organizations.
The Win-Cube project is not something that goes on a piece of paper, it is real-world engineering, allowing high school students to have an opportunity to learn more about the exciting world of engineering through their participation in this challenging program. It is also taken as a wonderful example of the unique partnerships within Manitoba. Designing, building and launching a satellite with high-school participation will bring this world-class educational project into reality and Manitoba closer to space.
“These Manitoba high school students deserve congratulations for their enthusiasm, innovation (创新), and a strong love for discovery," said Education, Citizenship and Youth Minister Peter Bjonson. “We want to make science more relevant (相关的), interesting and attractive to high school students by showing them how classroom studies can relate to practical experience in the workplace or, in this case, in space," Bjonson added.
The Win-Cube program is mainly aimed at inspiring a strong desire for discovery on the part of the students. It also shows Manitoba’s devotion to research and innovation and the development of a skilled workforce—all important drivers of knowledge-based economic growth.
1. According to the passage, the Win-Cube satellite is .
A. named after Manitoba and its shape
B. intended for international communication
C. designed like a Rubik’s cube both in shape and size
D. challenged by university students around the world
2. According to Mr. Bjonson, .
A. those Manitoba high school students are worth praising
B. the study of space can be practically made in classrooms
C. Manitoba high schools are famous for the study of space
