　　2017浙江省宁海县高考英语阅读理解暑假练习（5）（答案）

　　【山东省2017模拟】

　　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。Our body clock，or natural body rhythm，influences our energy and alertness．Paying attention to it can help us choose the suitable time of day when we best perform specific tasks．

　　The reality，however，is that most of us organize their time around work demands，school deadlines，commuting or social events．Doing whatever your body feels like doing is a luxury in today's fast-paced modem society．

　　But that doesn't mean it isn't worth trying．Obeying our body clock has significant health benefits．Disrupting our natural body rhythm，on the other hand，has been linked to problems such as depression，obesity，or headache，says Steve Key，a biology professor．

　　When the body clock can synchronize（使……同步）the rhythms of its natural processes，it “gives us an advantage in daily life”，says Key．

　　According to him，when it comes to cognitive（认知的）work，most adults perform best in the late morning．As our body temperature starts to rise just before awakening in the morning and continues to increase until midday，our memory，alertness and concentration gradually improve．

　　However，he adds，our ability to concentrate typically starts to decrease soon thereafter．Most of us are more easily distracted（分心）between noon and 4 pm．

　　Alertness also tends to fall after eating a meal and sleepiness tends to peak around 2 pm，making that a good time for a nap．

　　Surprisingly, tiredness may increase our creative powers．For most adults，problems that require open ended thinking are often best dealt with in the evening when they are tired， according to a study in the journal Thinking & Reasoning．

　　When choosing a time of day to exercise，paying attention to your body clock can improve results．Physical performance is usually best from about 3 to 6 pm，says Michael Smolensky，a professor of biomedical engineering．

　　Of course, not everyone's body clock is the same，making it even harder to synchronize natural rhythms with daily plans．

　　51．If we know our natural body rhythm well, we can

　　．

　　A．find out the suitable time to do specific tasks

　　B．organize our time around work demands

　　C．do whatever our body feels like doing

　　D．be sure to be healthy

　　52．Which of the following is NOT true?

　　A．Our alertness is influenced by our natural body rhythm

　　B．Doing whatever your body feels like is very difficult in our modem society．

　　C．Obeying our body clock is good for our health．

　　D．Disrupting our natural body rhythm can lead to obesity．

　　53．According to Steve Key，which of the following is NOT true?

　　A．When our body clock synchronizes the rhythms of its natural processes，we can do better．

　　B．When it comes to cognitive（认知的）work，most people perform best in the late morning．

　　C．As body temperature rises before awakening in the morning，our concentration gradually improves．

　　D．We concentrate better in the late morning than between noon and 4 pm．

　　54．Inspiration（灵感）to solve a difficult problem will most probably come to us

　　．

　　A．when we get up in the morning

　　B．when we are tired in the evening

　　C．when we are full of energy in the late morning

　　D．when we are asleep at night

　　55．Which of the following can be the suitable title for the passage?

　　A．What is natural body rhythm?

　　B．Natural body rhythm is good for us． C．Something about natural body rhythm．

　　D．The latest research about natural body rhythm．

　　Air pollution is a leading cause of cancer and classified among Group 1,or top, human carcinogens (致癌物质), said the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is the World Health Organization's (WHO) cancer agency, on Oct 17,2017. The most widely used system for classifying carcinogens comes from the IARC, which places them into five groups. Group 1 carcinogens definitely cause cancer in humans. Group 2A is probably carcinogenic to humans, Group 2B is possibly carcinogenic, the carcinogenicity of Group 3 in humans is unclassifiable, and Group 4 is probably not carcinogenic to humans. Only a little more than 100 are classified as Group 1 cancer-causing substances, including ultraviolet radiation and tobacco smoke. “Our task was to evaluate the air everyone breathes rather than focus on specific air pollutants,” the lARC's Dana Loomis said in a statement. “The results from the reviewed studies point in the same direction: the risk of developing lung cancer is significantly increased in people exposed to air pollution.”

　　In 2010, lung cancer resulting from air pollution killed 223,000 people worldwide, and there was also convincing evidence that it increases the risk of bladder (膀腕) cancer, according to the IARC. Air pollution is already known to raise risks for a wide range of illnesses, including respiratory and heart diseases.

　　Air pollution is global, although the levels of it vary over space and time.

　　Loomis said people in Asia, eastern North America, some places in Central America and Mexico, as well as North Africa have relatively high exposure. Developing countries with large populations and booming manufacturing sectors, such as China, are particularly at risk.

　　Many cities in China, such as Beijing, frequently see smog. This week, Harbin, the capital city of Heilongjiang province, became the first Chinese city to officially suspend classes due to serious smog Many developed countries face similar problems, although to a lesser degree than most developing nations. In Europe, levels of many pollutants have fallen. But between 91 and 96 percent of Europeans living in cities are exposed to levels of PM2.5—tiny particles with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers—that are higher than the WHO safety limits, says a report published by the European Environment Agency on Oct 15.

　　Although both the composition and levels of air pollution can vary dramatically from one location to the other, the 1ARC said its conclusions apply to all regions of the world. “Given the scale of the exposure affecting people worldwide, this report should send a strong signal to the international community to take action without further delay,” said Christopher Wild, director of the IARC.

　　59、What might be the best title of the passage?

　　A．Signals of air pollution

　　B．Safety limits of air pollution

　　C．Air pollution, cancer risk

　　D．Air pollution, smog risk

　　What’s the main task of IARC?

　　A．To focus on cancer-causing substances.

　　B．To evaluate the air quality.

　　C．To study the developing risk of cancer.

　　D．To send signals to the international community.

　　Why should the international community take action without further delay?

　　A．The composition and levels of air pollution vary from place to place.

　　B．More and more people in developing countries are exposed to air pollution.

　　C．Developed countries face air pollution, the level of which is higher than the safety limits.

　　D．A large number of people worldwide are exposed to air pollution.

　　Today’s children are the “result” of the modern society. Our parents have jobs that keep them busy almost all day long. They only have a free day in a week. This doesn’t allow them to keep an eye on their children.

　　On the other hand, the modern society gives more freedom to the children than they could “handle”. As a child, you don’t know how to grow up by yourself until you reach a certain age. That is why you need school and parents to be by your side all the time. If you don’t have either of them you may make a lot of mistakes. The social system of the modern society is very lenient especially with the children.

　　Most of the children today are rebels (判逆者). They are rude. They are given too much freedom by their families. This is their parent’s mistake. They ought to know that the freedom they give to their children is misunderstood.

　　For example it is a bad thing for a 17 – year – old child to go out in the evening on weekends. Parents are also guilty of the way their children show up in the street or at school. The same guilt belongs to the teaching system as well. Pupils shouldn’t be allowed to dress like they were on a fashion presentation at school.

　　Another important fact we can think of regarding the freedom of children is their free will of spending money. Parents shouldn’t allow their children to spend money on whatever they want.

　　I think children are given too much freedom not only by their parents, but also by the society. The latter is more to be blamed!

　　64．The writer implies that parents’ busy lifestyle

　　.

　　A．makes their children become independent

　　B．may lead to a tense parent – child relationship

　　C．is harmful to their children’s health

　　D．is likely to create a troubled generation

　　65．What does the underlined word “lenient” (in Para 2) mean?

　　A．Not responsible

　　B．Not strict. C．Unkind. D．Unfair.

　　66．It seems that the writer agrees that students

　　.

　　A．should stay at home on weekends

　　B．can wear trendy clothes at school

　　C．had better wear school uniform at school

　　D．can be allowed to go out in the evenings

　　67．According to the writer, which of the following takes the primary responsibility for children’s problems?

　　A．The social environment. B．The educational system.

　　C．Each family.

　　D．The school.

　　孩子不公平。

　　Dear Daughter, As we drove off from Columbia, I wanted to write to tell you all that is on my mind. First, I want to tell you how proud we are. Getting into Columbia is a real testament (证明) of what a great well-rounded student you are. You should be as proud of yourself as we are. Your college years will be the most important of your life. It is in college that you will discover what learning is about. This will be the period when you go from teacher taught to master inspired, after which you must become a self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what you learn is of no practical use in real life, the learning skills you get will be something you will value forever. Follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy, don't be bothered by what others think or say, but make up your own mind. Most importantly, make true friends and be happy. Don't worry about their hobbies, grades, looks, or even personalities. Start planning early what you'd like to do. Where would you like to live? What would you like to learn? I think your plan to study fashion is good, and you should decide where you want to be, and get onto the right courses. I will always be there for you, but the time has come for you to be in the driver's seat-this is your life, and you need to be in control. Being in control feels great. Try it, and you'll love it! So please treasure your college years - make the best use of your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny, and learn through your successes and challenges.
