黄石市2016高考英语一轮阅读理解和书面表达选练（2）及答案

　　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。“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence．When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email，I laughed．I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish．

　　Obviously，it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting．I was too thrilled to believe her．Her words could not convince me at all．So I did a research on google．com．To my surprise，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see．” This sentence has been widely used in emails，letters，newspapers，movies，books，or any other possible places．Though it is sort of informal，it is part of the language that Americans use daily．Ironically，if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word，the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected．

　　Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence．Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies．In the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens．Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius．“Long time no see” was his trademark．Soon after Charlie Chan，“Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies．

　　Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew．All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together，and they change the color and taste of each other．American Chinese，though a minority ethnic（少数民族的成员） group in the United States，is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew．

　　You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese，such as pizza from Italian，susi from Japanese，and déjà vu from French etc．There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others．They will modify it and make it their own，so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant，or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store．Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays，I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future．In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor．．The writer himself felt surprised at ______．

　　A．the Chinglish expression “Long time no see”

　　B．“Long time no see” used as standard American English

　　C．so many literal translation of the expressions used in America

　　D．finding out Americans use the expression every day

　　2．The word “stew” in the 4th paragraph probably means ______．

　　A．mixture literature

　　B．Confucius’ words

　　C．a kind of cooked dish

　　D．American changing cultures

　　．According to the passage，it can be inferred that ______．

　　A．detectives translate the phrase “Long time no see”

　　B．Hollywood made “Long time no see” popular

　　C．the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languages

　　D．cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew

　　4．The main idea of the passage is that ______．

　　A．some Chinese expressions are introduced into English

　　B．you’ll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in America

　　C．some American expressions can be used in China

　　D．American English keep being enriched from different cultures

　　5．According to the passage，which of the following statements is not true?

　　A．Informal language sometimes doesn’t go with grammar and structure．

　　B．Languages are always ruled by grammar and structure．

　　C．“Long time no see” has been used in at least four media mentioned in the passage．

　　D．There are four languages mentioned to be adopted in the American stew．---5、B A B D B

　　阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

　　(2017·苏锡常镇四市二调，C)

　　Global Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These

　　satellitebased systems provide turnbyturn directions to help people get to where they want to

　　go. But they can also cause a lot of problems, sending you to the wrong place or leave you

　　completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most

　　often, says Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two.

　　Barry Brown is with the Mobile Life Centre in Stockholm, Sweden. The center studies

　　humancomputer interaction, or HCI, especially communications involving wireless devices. We

　　spoke to Mr Brown by Skype. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to

　　an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPSequipped car to use during his

　　stay.

　　Barry Brown：“And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination.”

　　And, then it wasn't until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they had put in a

　　destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in. So

　　again, the_GPS_is_kind_of_“garbage_in_garbage_out”．

　　Mr Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse

　　has to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment.

　　Barry Brown：“One problem with many GPS units is they have a very small screen and they

　　just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it

　　is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it's going to the wrong

　　place.”

　　Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego.

　　While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The

　　two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in people's cars. They

　　wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving

　　with GPS.”

　　Barry Brown: “One of the things that struck us, perhaps the most important thing was that you have to know what you're doing when you use a GPS. There are these new skills that people have developed. There are these new competencies that you need to have to be able to use a GPS because they sometimes go wrong.”

　　Barry Brown says this goes against a common belief that GPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational (导航) skills.

　　“The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS” lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.

　　Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。GPS全球定位系统可以帮助人们找到想去的地方，但GPS也会带来许多问题，所以使用GPS全球定位系统是否可靠变得不确定。

　　5．What is the best title for this passage?

　　A．Is GPS system reliable to use?

　　B．What is the use of GPS?

　　C．How to make the most of GPS?

　　D．Blame! GPS or Passengers?

　　答案：A　标题概括题。文章第一段是全文的主旨段。根据第一段可知，GPS全球定位系统可以帮助人们找到想去的地方，但GPS也会导致许多问题，所以使用GPS全球定位系统是否可靠变得不确定。所以A项最适合做文章的标题，故答案选A。

　　6．What is the implication of the underlined part?

　　A．GPS is just a garbage device.

　　B．GPS will not correct human errors.

　　C．GPS adjusts your wrong destination.

　　D．GPS is just as smart as human beings.

　　答案：B　句意理解题。根据画线句子后面一句“Mr Brown says this is a common human error.”并结合上下文可知，画线句子所包含的意思是：GPS不能纠正人类的错误。故答案选B。

　　7．Which is NOT mentioned as a GPS shortcoming in the passage?

　　A．Small screen.

　　B．Timing of commands.

　　C．Outdated maps.

　　D．Dear cameras GPS uses.

　　答案：D　细节理解题。根据文章第五段第一句可知，A项是GPS的缺点；根据文章倒数第二段可知，B、C两项均是GPS的缺点。所以只有D项不是GPS的缺点。故答案选D。

　　8．According to the passage, people commonly believe that ________.

　　A．you have to know where to go when using GPS

　　B．you need to have new competencies to use GPS well

　　C．GPS is proper for drivers with little sense of direction

　　D．GPS is fit for people having good understanding of maps

　　答案：C　推理判断题。通读全文可知，人们普遍认为，GPS全球定位系统适合方向感差的人。C项符合文义，故答案选C。

　　阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

　　(2017·东北三省三校第二次联考，C)

　　UGG boots have been a winterweather fashion for several years now, combining function, comfort, warmth and even some style. What many UGGenthusiasts don't know is that their boots are a breeding ground for bacteria and cause foot problems.

　　Doctors believe the boots, which are particularly popular among young teenage girls, are leading to a rise in the number of people suffering pains in their feet and knees.

　　Dr. Ian Drysdale, head of the British College of Osteopathic Medicine, believes because the foot does not get the proper support on the inside, it will lead to more ankle, knee, hip and back problems. ?These boots are not designed for outside wear. Just because something becomes a trend or fashionable doesn't mean it's good or right，” he said. “The particular problem with this type of footwear is that it is unsupported. It's a slipper. You wouldn't normally expect to be doing outdoor activities from something that's indoor. If you decide to wear your pajamas outside all the time, someone will come up and say it's not a good idea.” Dr. Drysdale explained that the feet issues become a particular problem among young teenage girls, whose bones are “plastic” and developing when they are growing. “If that structure is developing in an inappropriate way，” he said，“then the ultimate structure will be deformed.”

　　Mike O'Neill, a consultant surgeon, said，“As the foot slides around, you get wear and tear

　　(磨损) on the joints on the inside of the foot. The ankle is in the wrong position, the thigh bone also changes position, and you get an abnormal movement in the pelvis, which leads to back problems.”

　　UGG Australia, who makes the designer version of the boots, told The Daily Wirror that their boots are “comfort” rather than “performance” footwear and consumers should be aware of “knockoffs (仿制品)” which lack reinforced heels in their boots.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了雪地靴因它的时尚、舒适、保暖等特性而备受年轻女孩的青睐。但研究人员发现，在它时尚的外观背后，隐藏着一些不为人知的健康隐患。

　　9．Teenage girls prefer to wear UGG boots because of the following EXCEPT ________.

　　A．design

　　B．comfort

　　C．quality

　　D．warmth

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句“... combining function, comfort, warmth and even some style.”可知，A、B、D三项都是年轻女孩喜欢雪地靴的原因。故C项正确。

　　10．According to Dr. Ian Drysdale, ________.

　　A．there is a possibility that bacteria will multiply in UGG boots

　　B．wearing UGG boots will lead to more ankle and toe problems

　　C．it's not a good idea to wear boots like UGG outside all the time

　　D．teenage girls' bones are plastic enough to wear UGG boots

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“‘These boots are not designed for outside wear. Just because something becomes a trend or fashionable doesn't mean it's good or right，’ he said. ‘The particular problem with this type of footwear is that it is unsupported.’”可知，C项正确。

　　11．The underlined word “deformed” is closest in meaning to ________.

　　A．shaped

　　B．strengthened

　　C．reformed

　　D．damaged

　　答案：D　词义猜测题。由语境可知，年轻女孩子的骨头正在发育，具有一定的可塑性。如果骨骼结构以一种不合适的方式发育的话，骨骼就会损伤，发生变形。shaped合适的，有计划的；strengthened使加强的；reformed革新的；damaged损伤的，毁坏的。此处与倒数第二段中“back problems”相照应。故D项正确。

　　12．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

　　A．Potential Harm of UGG Boots

　　B．The Popularity of UGG Boots

　　C．The Unique Design of UGG Boots

　　D．Benefits of UGG Boots

　　答案：A　标题概括题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了雪地靴对年轻女孩生长发育过程中所造成的潜在危害。故A项正确。

　　Today a humorous lecture was held at three o'clock in the afternoon in our school. A fireman was invited to give us a lecture on fire safety, which left a deep impression on us. We were also shocked at the fire accidents in the video, which told us the necessity of fire preventing.

　　After the fireman asked us some questions on what might cause a fire, few could answer them. So how to prevent the fire became what we cared about most. He suggested we change the aged gas pipe, install the fire alarm, and use safe power sockets.

　　Today's lecture does really help, which has aroused my safety awareness. I should do as the fireman told us in the future.

　　Environmental Protection Starts from Me

　　As we all know, the environment is very important to everyone where we can live comfortably and happily. But now, the environmental pollution worries me all the time. What draws my attention is that everywhere is rubbish, especially the white waste lying on the ground and swinging in the tree, as is shown in the picture. It even causes air pollution and water pollution, thus damaging our health. Considering making our life more convenient, the shopping plastic bags came into being. But unfortunately, we always throw away the rubbish as we like.

　　Therefore, I would say to make our life much better, we should have a strong responsibility to protect the environment. So take action from me.
