  浙江常山县2017高考英语阅读理解6

  【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。However urban life strikes you,cities worldwide have been growing evemore rapidly.Some of this growth has occurred in the developed world,but the most dramatic increase has been in the Third World.Almost all the world’s population growth over the next 30 years will take place in the cities of developing countries

  By the year 2030,for the first time in history,60 percent of the world’s people will be living in cities.

  This is actually good news in some ways.“Cities are the fundamental building blocks of prosperity,” says Marc Weiss,chairman of the Prague Institute for Global Urban Development,“ both for the nation and for families.” Industrial and commercial activities in urban areas account for between 50 and 80 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in most countries of the world“ there’s the crazy notion that the way to deal with a city’s problems is to keep people out of them,” Weiss continued.“But the problems of the rural life are even more serious than those of the city.” For better or worse,urban-watchers are clear on one point: The quality of life for most people in the future will be determined by the quality of cities.Those cities will be bigger than ever.And yet,population numbers by themselves don’t determine a city’s prospects; after all,Addis Ababa,Ethiopia,and Hamburg,Germany,have the same population.Nor is explosive growth necessarily the determining factor.“City problems,” one authority points out,“mostly have to do with weak,ineffective,and usually unrepresentative city governments.”.The passage mainly discusses ______________.

  A.Big cities.B.City life.C.Population.D.Gross Domestic Product.

  A.better city,better life

  4.Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?

  A.The developing countries develop faster than the developed countries.

  B.Cities contribute more to the GDP than the villagers.

  C.Some problems are more easily solved in cities than in country.

  阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

  Like distance runners on measured course, all of us will move through time in a roughly predictable pattern.

  In the first stage of our lives, we develop and grow, reaching toward the top of physical vitality (energy).

  After we grow up, however, the body begins a process of gradually wearing out.

  A new awareness of physical fitness may help lengthen our years of health and vitality, yet nothing we do will work to stop the unavoidable force of aging.

  Most of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body. The lungs become less able to take in oxygen. Powerful muscles gradually lose their strength. The heart loses power and pumps less blood. Bones grow easier to break.

  Finally, we meet a stress, a stress that is greater than our physical resistance. Often, it is only a minor accident or chance infection (a disease caused by virus), but this time, it brings life to an end.

  In 1932, a classic experiment nearly doubled the lifetime of rats, simply by cutting back the calories (unit for measuring the energy value of food)in their diet. The reason for the effect was then unknown.

  Today, at the University of California at Berkley, Dr. Paul Seagle has also greatly lengthened the normal lifetime of rats. The result was achieved through a special protein (蛋白质)limited diet, which had a great effect on the chemistry of the brain. Seagle showed that within the brain, specific chemicals control many of the signals that influence aging. By changing that chemical balance, the clock of aging can be reset.

  For the first time, the mystery (something that is difficult to understand or to explain)of why we age is being seriously challenged. Scientists in many fields are now making striking and far-reaching discoveries.

  An average lifetime lasts 75 years, yet in each of us lies a potential for a longer life. If we could keep the vitality and resistance to disease that we have at twenty, we would live for 800 years.

  1. What does the underlined word “it”refer to?

  A. Physical vitality.B. Stress.C. Aging.D. Physical resistance.

  2. The author believes the following EXCEPT that ______. 

  A. human’s life pattern is predictable

  B. physical fitness can’t stop the force of aging

  C. human’s lifetime will last longer than 75 years

  D. all of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body

  3. How did Dr Paul Seagle lengthen the lifetime of rats in his experiment?

  A. By limiting the protein in their diet.

  B. By cutting the calories in their diet.

  C. By resetting their clock of aging.

  D. By keeping their physical fitness.

  4. What is probably the best title for the article?

  A. Two Great Experiments.

  B. The Mystery of Human Life.

  C. Ways to Lengthen Human Life.

  D. The Breakthrough in the Study of Aging.

  People who do not get enough vitamin A in their diet may develop night blindness.But in the developing world a lack of vitamin A causes much more serious harm to children.The World Health Organization links the lack of vitamin A to as many as 250.000 child deaths every year.

  One excellent source of vitamin A is found in sweet potatoes with orange flesh.Orange sweet potatoes contain high levels of beta-carotene(胡萝卜素) ,which our body can change into vitamin A. Experts say orange sweet potatoes specially bred (育种,培植) for growing conditions in Africa

  could help solve the lack of vitamin A there.

  But, first, more people will need to be persuaded to eat them. Jan Low with the International Potato Center, a research organization says the sweet potato needs a better image in Africa. Jan Low says,… We do have an image problem with sweet potato in general in sub-Saharan Africa. It is seen as a crop of the poor. " Ms Low explains that sweet potatoes are mainly grown by poor women to feed their families in case another crop fails. The sweet potatoes commonly grown if Africa have white or yellow flesh. But, more importantly, they are low in vitamin A.

  Jan Low took part in a project to study how best to market orange sweet potatoes to Africans.She worked on an information campaign in Mozambique and Uganda.The campaign included radio messages about the nutritional benefits of the orange sweet potato.They advertised its ability to” fight diseases, make you strong, clear your skin and make you look healthy." In areas without radio, the campaigners spread the message through community theater.The performances included singing, dancing and storytelling.And everywhere they went, the campaigners wore orange T-shirts and hats.They even drove orange vehicles.Jan Low says the color made it easier to gain public attention.

  Dan Gustafson heads the Washington office of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. He points to efforts in the past to increase the popularity of other nutritious crops. He says most of these efforts failed because organizers of the campaigns did not consider what people wanted to eat.But Mr.Gustafson sees a better chance for the efforts to increase the popularity of the orange sweet potato in Africa. For one thing, except for the color, the vegetable is similar to what people already use.
