　　广安市2017高考英语阅读理解一轮系列训练（17）

　　阅读理解。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。

　　Every year in America, high-school students who want to go on to college take a national examination called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT in a shortened way. Their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will admit them or whether any will be admitted at all. The Scholastic Aptitude Test muasures one’s mathematical ability and use of the English language. Traditionally, the English portion involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading comprehension.

　　But the SAT folks have added a single question , to be answered in an essay, hand-written on the spot. That’s an interesting way to test writing ability, but content aside, have you ever seen young people’s handwriting lately? Or anyone’s for that matter, in this age of computer keyboards? Students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks. They scribble class notes in what can generously be described as the written word. And they hand-write, or more often print, a word or two of identification on luggage and lunch bags. Otherwise, penmanship(书法)-once taught so morally and carefully by second-grade teachers, has gone the way of the dodo bird which has died out.

　　Yet today’s kids are asked to write, thoughtfully and legibly, for several minutes on this SAT Test. Good luck to the test scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl of young people who’ve been typing on computers since the age of three! Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help one’s score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential employers and earn bigger tax refunds because the tax inspectors can actually read the computations. And don’t forget, we all have to resort to handwriting from rime to time, as computers go down when the power goes out.

　　1. The subjects to be tested in the SAT include

　　A. math,English,reading and handwriting

　　B. math, grammar,reading and writing

　　C. math,foreign language and writing

　　D. math,English and handwriting

　　2.The author write this passage to introduce the fact that

　　A. writing seems to be very important in the SAT

　　B. those who will go to colleges have to take the SAT

　　C. students should practice handwriting more often

　　D. at the computer age kids don’t know how to write.

　　3. What does the underlined word “scribble”probably mean?

　　A. write quickly and roughly

　　B. take notes difficultly

　　C. print penmanship carefully

　　D. describe written word generously

　　4. According to the passage good handwriting can

　　A. help students get high scores in tests

　　B. make a student more popular

　　C. measure students’s ability

　　D. assist one to get a job

　　1、答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节题。由第一段最后两句话 “The Scholastic Aptitude Test muasures one’s mathematical ability and use of the English language. Traditionally, the English portion involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading comprehension.”和第二段第一句话 “But the SAT folks have added a single question , to be answered in an essay, hand-written on the spot.”可知，答案为B。

　　2、答案解析：答案为C。本题为文章的主旨大意题。全文由SAT考试增加书面表达部分的改革引入话题---当前学生不重视书写，因此此项改革就是为了使学生书写工整，改掉书写潦草的坏习惯。故答案为C。

　　3、答案解析：答案为A。本题为词义推断题。结合划线部分的上下文，在这个计算机时代，学生手写的内容已经非常罕见，只有一两个单词写在行李箱或者午餐包上，用来辨认物主，书法在其他场合就像嘟嘟鸟一样灭绝了。故可以推断，学生在课堂上记笔记非常潦草。故答案为A，迅速而粗糙地书写。

　　4、答案解析：答案为D。本题为细节题。由文章最后一段 “Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help one’s score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential employers and earn bigger tax refunds because the tax inspectors can actually read the computations.”可知，漂亮的书法不仅对SAT考试得分起到帮助作用，而且能给今后找工作时的雇主留下良好的印象，获得更多的退税。故答案为D，帮助一个人找工作。干扰项最强的A选项“帮助学生获得高分”拔高了文章的意思。故答案为D。

　　（2016高考阅读理解）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。

　　Americans think that travel is good for you.Some even think it can help with one of the country’s worst problems­crime(犯罪)．Crime worries a lot of people.Every year，the number of crimes is up and up.And many criminals are young.They often come from sad homes，with only one parent or no parents at all.

　　There are many young criminals in prison.But prison doesn’t change them.Six or seven in ten will go back to crime when they come out of prison.

　　One man，Bob Burton，thought of a new idea.In the old days，young men had to live a difficult life on the road.They learned to be strong and brave，and to help their friends in time of danger.This helped them to grow into men.So Bob started “Vision Quest”．He takes young criminals on a long，long journey with horses and wagons(马车)，3,000 miles through seven states.They are on the road for more than a year.

　　The young people on Vision Quest all have had problems.Most of them have already spent time in prison.This is their last chance.

　　It’s hard work on the road.The day starts before the sun comes up.The boys and girls have to feed the horses.Some of them have never loved anyone before.But they can’t love their horses enough.They also begin to love their partners.That love can help them to live a new life.

　　Not all the young people on Vision Quest will leave crime behind them.Three or four in ten will one day be in prison again.Bob Burton is right.Travel can be good for you.Even today，Americans still say，“Go west，young man.”

　　1．In the last paragraph，the underlined phrase “leave crime behind them” means “".

　　A．no longer do a crime

　　B．leave people who do a crime

　　C．do all the crimes

　　D．leave criminals behind

　　2．Why is Bob Burton right?

　　A．Because he can help with crime.

　　B．Because three or four is better than six or seven.

　　C．Because the young criminals have a hard life on the road.

　　D．Because he can stop crime in the country.

　　3．From the passage we may infer that

　　A．getting up before the sun rises can help people out of crime

　　B．love can help young people to start a new life

　　C．traveling can help all criminals out of prison

　　D．being strong and brave can do with crime

　　4．On “Vision Quest”

　　A．young people have bad problems

　　B．young people grow tall very fast

　　C．young people often help their friends in time of danger

　　D．young people can do anything freely

　　1．A　[词义猜测题。从最后一段中的“Three or four in ten will one day be in prison again.”可知，并不是所有参加Vision Quest的人都不再犯罪了。]

　　2．B　[推理判断题。原来出狱的人再次犯罪回到监狱的几率是十分之六、七，现在则成了十分之三、四，因此他是正确的。]

　　3．B　[推理判断题。从倒数第二段最后一句“That love can help them to live a new life.”可推知B项正确。]

　　4．C　[细节理解题。从倒数第二段最后两句“They also begin to love their partners.That love can help them to live a new life.”可知选C。]

　　（2016高考阅读理解）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。

　　A less well known benefit of having great EQ is that it can help in effective stress management，or in other words，to bring our stress to a comfortable level.But how can Emotional Intelligence help in stress management?

　　Our emotions are good indicators of our stress level.If we are aware of our own emotions，we can identify the signs of unusually high stress earlier.Then we can take steps to relax or to control our emotions，and avoid further stress.For example，getting angry ten times in one single day at our team members，peers，or other people we interact with is most likely not a sign that they have suddenly become more annoying or incapable.It is more likely to be a sign that our level of stress has increased，and that our tolerance for anything that doesn’t go our way has decreased.

　　Self­management，the second dimension of Emotional Intelligence，also helps decrease our stress.Self­management is our ability to prevent the waves of our negative emotions from rising too high.An example of self­management is keeping our sadness or anger from reaching an intensity when we cannot function and work normally，and when it can even be painful.

　　Such high emotional waves further escalate stress in two ways.First，stress is expanded by the feeling that we are “losing control”．And then it can be accompanied by guilt...and even more stress.Secondly，decisions we make during these emotional waves are usually not well­thought and usually bring us more trouble and more stress.For example，decisions we make during an period of anger can be expected to result in extra work to repair “additional damages”．

　　Social awareness，the third dimension of Emotional Intelligence decreases stress by reducing interpersonal conflicts in the workplace.One serious conflict with one of our team members or peers can eat up a large amount of our energy and result in a lot of stress.

　　How exactly does better social awareness lead to less conflicts？Social awareness is the ability to recognize emotions in other people，and to handle them resourcefully.In situations when conflicts can easily arise，this skill is particularly useful.By identifying the emotions in our counterpart and then acknowledging these emotions，we can prevent a disagreement from turning into an open personal conflict.

　　As a conclusion，if you are feeling that you are too stressed，I encourage you to look at how you could develop your Emotional Intelligence further.

　　1．Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “escalates” in Paragraph 4?

　　A．Decreases.

　　B．Raises.

　　C．Relieves.

　　D．Substitutes.

　　2．In how many ways does great EQ help in stress management?

　　A．5.

　　B．4.

　　C．3.

　　D．2.

　　3．What do we know from the passage?

　　A．Getting angry 10 times a day at other people indicates that they’re annoying.

　　B．Decisions made during emotional waves can be thoughtless and regrettable.

　　C．Social awareness can remove interpersonal conflicts in the workplace.

　　D．When we are feeling too stressed，we had better look at our EQ level.

　　4．The structure of the passage is

　　.(① to ⑦ represent Paragraph 1 to 7)

　　1．B　[词义猜测题。根据后文内容“...stress is expanded by...And then it can be accompanied by guilt...and even more stress.Secondly，...bring us more trouble and more stress.”可知，high emotion waves能在两个方面导致more stress，也就是raise stress“增加压力”，故选B项。decrease减少；relieve缓解；substitute替换。]

　　2．C　[推理判断题。根据文章内容以及结构可知，文章介绍高情商在三个方面对缓解压力有帮助，emotion(第二段内容)，self­management(第三、四段内容)和social awareness(第五、六段内容)，故选C项。]

　　3．B　[细节理解题。根据文章第四段第四句“...decisions we make during these emotional waves are usually not well­thought and usually bring us more trouble and more stress.”可知，我们在情绪波动的时候做的决定往往没有经过周密考虑也会给我们带来更多的麻烦和压力。故选B项，在情绪波动的时候所做的决定往往是欠考虑并且会后悔的。]

　　4．A　[篇章结构题。本文是一篇“总—分—总”结构的文章。文章第一段总领全文。第二段是关于emotion的；第三、四段涉及self­management；第五、六段涉及social awareness；最后一段是总结。故选A项。]
