  北京市朝阳区2017高考英语阅读理解暑假训练(1)及答案

  阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A, B, C 和D)中, 选出最佳选项。

  Celebrity(名人) has become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans used to be crazy about a specific film, but now the public tends to base its consumption(消费) on the interest of celebrity attached to any given product. Besides, fashion magazines have almost abandoned the practice of putting models on the cover because they don’t sell nearly as well as famous faces. As a result, celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market potential, moving from advertising for others’ products to developing their own.

  Celebrity clothing lines aren’t a completely new phenomenon, but in the past they were typically aimed at the ordinary consumers, and limited to a few TV actresses. Today they’re started by first-class stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top brands. The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with specific personal style. As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market, they expand their production scale rapidly, covering almost all the products of daily life.

  However, for every success story, there’s a related warning tale of a celebrity who overvalued his consumer appeal. No matter how famous the product’s origin is, if it fails to impress consumers with its own qualities, it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And once the initial(最初的) attention dies down, consumer interest might fade, loyalty(忠诚) returning to tried-and-true labels.

  Today, celebrities face even more severe embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each misstep threatens to reduce a celebrity’s shelf life, and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears. Still, the ego’s(自我的) potential for expansion is limitless. Having already achieved great wealth and public recognition, many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short time, but fashion—like celebrity—has always been temporary.

  43. Fashion magazines today

  .

  A. seldom put models on the cover

  B. no longer put models on the cover

  C. need not worry about celebrities’ market potential

  D. judge the market potential of every celebrity correctly

  44. A change in the consumer market can be found today that

  .

  A. price rather than brand name is more concerned

  B. producers prefer models to celebrities for advertisements

  C. producers prefer TV actresses to film stars for advertisements

  D. quality rather than the outside of products is more concerned 

  45. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 indicates that any wrong step will possibly

  .

  A. decrease the popularity of a celebrity and the sales of his products

  B. damage the image of a celebrity in the eyes of the general public

  C. cut short the artistic career of a celebrity in show business

  D. influence the price of a celebrity’s products

  46. The passage is mainly about

  .

  A. celebrity and personal style

  B. celebrity and market potential

  C. celebrity and fashion design

  D. celebrity and clothing industry

  阅读下列短文,

  从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

  A

  Once again, I was in a new school. So was a girl in my class named Paris. That's where the similarities ended.

  I was tall and she was small. My thick, black hair had been recently cut short. Her natural blonde hair flowed to her waist and looked great. I was awkward and shy. She wasn't. I couldn't stand her. I considered her my enemy. She liked me. She wanted to be friends.

  One day, she invited me over and I said yes — I was too shocked to answer any other way. No one had invited me over to play. But this girl who wore the latest fashions wanted me to go home with her after school.

  I got very surprised when she led me into an apartment building. She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room place with her mother, her stepfather, her two brothers and her sister.

  When we got to the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies — which was my next surprise. I would have thought she'd outgrown them. I had never played with them. But we sat on the floor of a walk-in closet, laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies. That's when we found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older and we both had wild imaginations.

  We had a great day that afternoon. Our jaws ached from smiling so much. She showed me her wardrobe, which had mostly come from a designer clothing store down the block. The woman who owned it used her as a model sometimes for her newspaper ads and gave her clothes in exchange.

  Paris had the whole neighborhood charmed. The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines, the movie theater gave her free passes and the pizza place let her have free slices. Soon I was included in her magic world. We slept over at each other's houses, spent every free moment together. My dark hair grew out and I learned to love being tall.

  Paris, my first real friend since childhood, taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends: that your worst enemy can turn out to be your best friend.

  46.The writer and Paris were similar in that

  .

  A. they were both new students

  B. both of them were friendly

  C. both of them were tall

  D. they were both the youngest in class

  7.In the article the writer described Paris as a girl who was

  .

  A. awkward and shy

  B. fashionable and proudC. quiet and lonely

  D. friendly and lovely

  48.What did the writer learn from Paris?

  A. How to make best use of her neighborhood.

  B. How to dress and look fashionable.

  C. How to become a good writer.

  D. How to make friends.

  9.From the article, we can see that through her friendship with Paris, the writer

  .

  A. found she and Paris had more similarities than differences

  B. was able to fit in at her new school with Paris’ help

  C. was not so awkward or shy as before

  D. learned more about fashion herself

  【2017四川省资阳市第一次诊断性考试】E

  To get a chocolate out of a box requires a lot of unpacking: the box has to be taken out of the paper bag in which it arrived, the cellophane (玻璃纸) wrapper has to be torn off, the lid opened and the paper removed, the chocolate itself then has to be unwrapped from its own piece of paper. But this overuse of wrapping is not limited to luxuries. It is now becoming increasingly difficult to buy anything that is not done up in beautiful wrapping.

  The package itself is of no interest to the shopper, who usually throws it away immediately. Useless wrapping accounts for much of the refuse put out by the average London house-hold each week. So why is it done? Some of it, like the cellophane on meat, is necessary, but most of the rest is simply competitive selling. This is absurd. Packaging is using up valuable energy and resources and polluting the environment.

  Recycling is already happening with milk bottles which are returned to the dairies (牛奶场), washed out, and refilled. But both glass and paper are being threatened by the growing use of plastic. More dairies are experimenting with plastic bottles.

  The trouble with plastic is that it does not rot. Some environmentalists argue that the only solution to the problem of ever increasing plastic containers is to throw away plastic altogether in the shops, a suggestion unacceptable to many producers who say there is no alternative (替代品) to their handy plastic packs.

  It is evident that more research is needed into the recovery and re-use of various materials and into the cost of collecting and recycling containers rather than producing new ones. Unnecessary packaging, intended to be used just once, and to make things look better so more people will buy them, is clearly becoming increasingly absurd. But it is not so much a question of throwing away packaging as using it wisely. What is needed now is a more advanced approach to using scarce resources for what is, after all, a relatively unimportant function.

  47. The underlined part “this overuse of wrapping is not limited to luxuries” in Paragraph l means ______.

  A. more wrapping is needed for ordinary products

  B. the wrapping used for luxury products is unnecessary

  C. more wrapping is used for luxuries than for ordinary products

  D. too much wrapping is used for both luxury and ordinary products

  48. Why is packaging important to producers?

  A. It is easy to use it again.

  B. Packaged things will not go rotten.

  C. They want to attract more shoppers.

  D. Shoppers are all interested in beautiful packaging.

  49. According to the passage, dairies are ______.

  A. reusing their paper containers

  B. giving up the use of glass bottles

  C. increasing the use of plastic bottles

  D. experimenting with the use of paper bottles

  50. Some environmentalists think that ______.

  A. too much plastic is wasted

  B. shops should stop using plastic containers

  C. no alternative can be found to plastic packaging

  D. plastic packaging should be made more convenient

  【天津市2017高考英语六校第三次联考试题】B

  阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。As demand for power and fuel grows steadily in the coming decades, we must consider every possible energy source on hand if we're to meet the world's needs. And because clean natural gas is found in great plenty, there is little doubt that it will play a major role on the world energy stage in this century, much like oil did in the last. But, like oil, gas reserves are concentrated in just a few places in the world, usually far from where they're needed most. And that's only part of the challenge. The world has had well over 100 years to search for oil and to build the necessary facilities to bring it to market; the natural gas facilities, particularly when it comes to liquefied(液化)natural gas(LNG), are not nearly as developed.

     

  So what needs to be done? On the supply side, producing nations need policies that allow for better development of their natural gas in an open, stable business environment, not one in which the rules of the game change without warning. The governments of consuming nations, on the other hand, must make policies for sustainable(可持续的)development to ensure they'll have enough supplies in the future. That means building the related facilities, including LNG stations. This, in turn, will require coastal areas to allow these necessary, but not necessarily pretty, facilities to be built in their backyards. And energy companies have a responsibility to be good neighbors in those areas by operating these facilities responsibly and safely. They must also continue to put in the billions of dollars needed to build the complex transport and storage facilities required to bring more gas to market.

     

  Expanding and diversifying(使多样化)energy sources by using more natural gas could lead to lower fuel prices and to greater energy security. We've taken some of the steps to get started, but we need your help to get the rest of the way.

  41. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

  A. Gas played a major part in the 20th century.

  B. Gas reserves are widely spread around the world.

  C. Natural gas facilities are far from satisfactory.

  D. Necessary facilities are ready to bring gas to market.

  42. The underlined word "one"(in Paragraph 2)refers to .

  A. a gas supply side                         

  B. a policy for gas development

  C. a gas consuming nation                           

  D. a business environment

  43. Consuming nations of natural gas need to ______.

  A. have long-term policies for gas supply          B. open markets in their backyards

  C. build pretty facilities along the coast         

  D. change the rules of the game     

  44. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.

  A. warn people of the lack of power and fuel

  B. discuss the importance of oil and natural gas

  C. instruct people how to make use of energy sources

  D. call for better use and development of natural gas

  45. The passage might be followed by a paragraph about ______.

  A. which countries are in great need of gas    

  B. where energy sources are concentrated

  C. what kind of help you can offer    

  D. what problems of energy sources we may face

  【天津市2017高考英语六校第三次联考试题】C

  阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。I carry a Rubik’s Cube (魔方) in my backpack. Solving it quickly is a terrific conversation starter. I usually ask people to try it first. They just turn the cube over in their hands, not even knowing where to begin. That’s exactly what it was like for me to learn how to read. Letters and words were out of order. Nothing made sense because I am dyslexic.

  The Rubik’s Cube has made me believe that sometimes you have to take a few steps back in order to move forward. This was a reflection of my own life when I had to leave public school after the fourth grade. It’s embarrassing to admit, but I still couldn’t always spell my full name correctly. As a fifth-grader at a new school specializing in what’s called “language-processing disorder”, I had to start over. I then spent the next four years learning how to learn and find strategies that allowed me to return to my district’s high school with the ability to communicate my ideas and express my intelligence.

  Now, I can easily solve the 5×5×5. I discover that just before it is solved, a problem can look like a mess, and then suddenly you can find the solution. Early in my Rubik’s career, I became so frustrated that I took the cube apart and rebuilt it. I believe that sometimes you have to look deeper and find answers in unexpected places. The Rubik’s cube taught me that to accomplish something big, it helps to break it down into small pieces. I learned that it’s important to spend a lot of time thinking, to try to find connections and patterns. I believe that there are surprises around the corner.

  Like life itself, the Rubik’s cube can be frustrating puzzle. So everyday I carry a Rubik’s cube in my backpack as a reminder that I can achieve my goals, no matter what obstacles I face.

  46. The author took the Rubik’s Cube apart because ______.

  A. he couldn’t work out how to solve it

  B. he hated it and wanted to destroyed it

  C. he wanted to learn how to rebuild it

  D. he was eager to find the connections

  The underlined word “dyslexic” in Paragraph 1 probably means a person who has trouble with ______.

  A. remembering

  B. reading

  C. speaking

  D. listening

  48. Why did the author leave the public school?

  A. He had to take steps back in order to relearn the basic things at another school.

  B. He was so crazy about the Rubik’s Cube that he wanted to solve it first.

  C. His interest shifted to learning how to communicate with other people.

  D. He was afraid to go to the public school because he could not spell his name.

  49. The author carries a Rubik’s Cube in his backpack to ______.

  A. start conversations with strangers

  B. compete with others

  C. take it apart and rebuild it

  D. encourage him to succeed

  50. Which would be the best title for the text?

  A. Unforgettable Lessons About Life

  B. Approaches to Solving the Rubik’s Cube

  C. Accomplishing Big Things in Small Stages

  D. Surprises Around the Corner
