　　高考题型提能练(十三)　Unit 13

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　A

　　(2016·邯郸高三质检)Since Henry Ford turned it into a mass­market product a century ago, the car has delivered many benefits. It has promoted economic growth, increased social mobility and given people a lot of fun. But the car has also brought many problems. It pollutes the air, creates traffic jams and kills people. An astonishing 1.24 million people die, and as many as 50 million are hurt, in road accidents each year.

　　Drivers and passengers waste around 90 billion hours in traffic jams each year. In some car­choked cities as much as a third of the petrol used is burned by people looking for a space to park.

　　Fortunately, a new technology promises to make motoring safer, less polluting and less tendency to hold­ups. “Connected cars” — which may eventually develop into driverless cars but for the foreseeable future will still have a human at the wheel — can communicate wirelessly with each other and with traffic management systems, avoid walkers and other vehicles and find open parking spots.

　　Some parts of the transformation are already in place. Many new cars are already being fitted with equipment that lets them keep their distance and stay in a motorway automatically at a range of speeds. Soon, all new cars in Europe will have to be able to warn the emergency services if their on­board sensors (传感器) discover a crash. Singapore has led the way with using variable tolls (道路通行费) to smooth traffic flows during rush hours; Britain is pioneering “smart motorways”， whose speed limits vary constantly to achieve a_similar_effect. These new inventions could create a much more highly effective system in which cars and their drivers are constantly warned of dangers and showed the ways. Traffic always flows at the proper speed and vehicles can travel closer together, yet with less risk of crashing.

　　In the past, more people driving meant more roads, more jams, more death and more pollution. In future, the connected car could offer mankind the pleasures of the road with rather less of the pain.

　　1.According to Paragraph 2, the problem of parking has resulted in ________.

　　A.more time on the road

　　B.a great waste of fuel

　　C.even heavier traffic jams

　　D.increased death and injuries

　　2.What does “a similar effect” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

　　A.Reducing traffic jams.

　　B.Building smart motorways.

　　C.Setting proper speed limits.

　　D.Keeping steady traffic flows.

　　3.What is the author's attitude towards connected cars?

　　A.Curious.B.Doubtful.

　　C.Supportive.

　　D.Disappointed.

　　4.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?

　　A.The Future of Cars: Wireless Wheels

　　B.The Future Traffic Management System

　　C.The Benefits and Problems of Cars

　　D.The Promising Future of Car Production

　　B

　　(2016·江西省九校联合考试)If you have an allergy to some food, even a very tiny bit of food can make you sick. Lots of kids have food allergies — about 3 million in the United States alone.

　　The foods that cause the most food allergies include peanuts and other nuts; seafood, such as shrimp; milk, particularly cow's milk; eggs; wheat.

　　What Is a Food Allergy?

　　Food allergies occur when your immune system makes a mistake. Usually, your immune system protects you from germs and disease. It does this by making antibodies that help you fight off bacteria, viruses, and other tiny organisms that can make you sick. But if you have a food allergy, your immune system mistakenly treats something in a certain food as if it's really dangerous to you.

　　What's a Reaction Like?

　　In the most serious cases, a food allergy can cause anaphylaxis (过敏症). This is a sudden, severe allergic reaction in which several problems occur all at once and can involve the skin, breathing, digestion, the heart and blood vessels. A person's blood pressure can drop, breathing tubes can narrow and the tongue can swell. People at risk for this kind of reaction have to be very careful and need a plan for handling emergencies, when they might need to get special medicine to stop these symptoms from getting worse.

　　What Will the Doctor Do?

　　If you think you may be allergic to a certain food, let your parents know. They will take you to the doctor to get it checked out. If your doctor thinks you might have a food allergy, he or she will probably send you to see a doctor who specializes in allergies. The allergy specialist will ask you about past reactions and how long it takes between eating the food and getting the symptom, such as hives. The allergist also may ask about whether anyone else in your family has allergies or other allergy­related conditions. The allergist may also want to do a skin test. This is a way of seeing how your body reacts to a very small amount of the food that is giving you trouble.

　　5.According to the passage, you will have a food allergy when

　　your immune system ________.

　　A.recognizes tiny organisms in a certain food

　　B.mistakenly makes antibodies to help fight off something in a certain food

　　C.prevents something harmful in the food from entering your digestive system

　　D.releases chemicals to remove harmful things in a certain food

　　6.In the sudden and severe allergic reaction, which of the following may happen?

　　A.Blood pressure rising.

　　B.Lips swelling.

　　C.Breathing difficulty.

　　D.Heart beating becoming slow.

　　7.Which of the following suggestions is given to those at risk of severe allergic reaction?

　　A.Taking medicine as soon as an allergic reaction appears.

　　B.Avoiding eating any food when going outside.

　　C.Always carrying with special medicine for possible symptoms.

　　D.Preparing a plan for dealing with emergencies ahead of time.

　　8.What will an allergist do to check your food allergy out?

　　A.Ask you about the allergy­associated information.

　　B.Give you some medicine right away.

　　C.Enquire about your present feeling towards the food.

　　D.Give you a shot of liquid extract of food.

　　C

　　Stressed? It is shown in recent research that walking or cycling to work calms you down (traveling by bus or train is also better than driving).

　　Walking to work reduces stress and improves brain power, researchers say. Adults who stopped driving the car and started walking or cycling became calmer and found it easier to concentrate. A study of 18,000 Britons found that going to work by train or bus improved their well­being compared with driving.

　　The study, published in the journal Preventive Medicine, also found that the longer people spent walking or cycling, the happier or less stressed they were. However, stress levels and inability to concentrate worsened if they spent more time in the car.

　　Lead researcher Adam Martin, from the University of East Anglia's Norwich Medical School, said that despite the crowds and disruption, walking to bus stops or stations and being able to relax on the journey “cheer people up”. Two thirds drive to work, 18 percent use public transport, 11 percent walk and 3 percent cycle.

　　A research earlier this year found that commuters (乘公共车辆往返者) had small but statistically significant lower scores on all measures of well­being. The worst effects were witnessed in those whose journeys last between 61 and 90 minutes. But when commuting time reaches three hours or more, the negative effects disappear, the report said.

　　“The effects of commuting on personal well­being are the greatest for anxiety and happiness, suggesting that commuting affects day­to­day emotions more than overall evaluations of satisfaction with life or the sense that daily activities are worthwhile，” the report stated.

　　Dr Daniel Newman, from Cardiff University's Sustainable Places Research Institute, said, “This report says that many of us, who spend mornings and evenings sitting in traffic jam, already know: commuting can be a chore.”

　　9.What can be learned from Paragraph 1?

　　A.Driving for long drives people crazy.

　　B.Feeling stressed can be predicted.

　　C.Walking to work helps reduce stress.

　　D.Travelling by bus makes people excited.

　　10.Walking to work is something

　　________.

　　A.preferred by most people

　　B.easier to perform in daily life

　　C.making people more creative

　　D.beneficial to the sense of happiness

　　11.What does the underlined word “chore” probably mean?

　　A.Tiresome task.

　　B.Amazing challenge.

　　C.Meaningless thing.

　　D.Financial trouble.

　　12.What type of writing is this text?

　　A.A scientific report.

　　B.A transportation guide.

　　C.A policy announcement.

　　D.A new lifestyle introduction.

　　Ⅱ.任务型阅读(2016·石家庄市复习教学质量检测)You want your essay to be the one that is passed around the admissions office or not? It's a little bit like the difference between being famous and infamous. Here are some basic tips to avoid that infamous essay：● Don't write the “safe” essay.

　　1.________

　　It could be something that others have also experienced, but make sure to say how it affected you. Something personal and unique never fails to stand out.

　　● Avoid the generic and get specific.

　　Never write that you're “well rounded” or that “many people have influenced” you. 2.________ Real and specific experiences are a lot more convincing than something you copy from the Internet.

　　●3.________

　　There is no need to share your participation level (hours per week and weeks per year) because colleges ask for that information on your activity list. It is important for the students to use every opportunity to show who they are and impress the admissions office.

　　● Don't talk about rankings.

　　Many students love focusing on the numbers when they are writing their “why this college” essay.

Obviously schools are aware of their rankings. 4.________

　　If you have gone through difficult circumstances, you should share your story. Don't point fingers. 5.________

But when they sit down to table, the young just bury themselves in playing with their cellphones, tablet PCs and other electronic devices, totally ignoring their parents, who feel very lonely and sad.

　　There is no doubt that cellphones have a negative effect on our lives. Heavy use of cellphones actually widens the distance between teenagers and their elders, leaving the elders more lonely. Worse still, addiction to cellphones might also lead to teenagers' poor performance at school, which adds to elders' worries. As far as I'm concerned, it's necessary to limit the time we spend using cellphones. And I think it important to communicate with our family members face to face, which helps build a harmonious family atmosphere.
