　　2016届高考英语二轮专题总复习精选综合能力专练：阅读理解1

　　A rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below 16℃.Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover, these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world.Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns, potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.

　　In the past hundred years, humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources (资源): land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example，a lot of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.

　　There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, when people cut down trees, generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly, cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now, but in the long run it actually reduces the world’ s wood supply.

　　Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store. More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However, fewer than 1% of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world’s shrinking rainforests.

　　名师点评

　　本文介绍了电脑的产生、发展以及在我们日常生活中广泛的使用，针对一些人对将来电脑会控制人类的担忧，作者提出了自己的看法。

　　答案简析

　　A。one of 后要用可数名词的复数形式，根据文章意思，可知答案是A。

　　D。要表达第几个世纪，应该用“序数词＋century”，而根据常识，计算机是二十世纪的产物，A项“二十一世纪”与实际不符合。

　　B。固定搭配not only…but (also)… 意思是“不但……而且……”。所以答案是B。

　　A。in many ways为一固定用法，表示“在许多方面”。

　　D。根据文章大意，可知答案是D，表示“给人们带来财富和快乐”。

　　C。因为Enid是名字，故用called。

　　C。根据常识可知老式计算机庞大而笨重，故填large。

　　D。该句句意为“自它诞生之日起，它的发展就非常迅速”，since在意思和时态上与主句呼应，为正确选项。

　　C。动词短语go through表示“经历……”。

　　D。

　　A。用介词for+宾语表示“为人们做事”，故选A。

　　C。know about表示“了解”，侧重于有关某人或某事的具体情况。

　　A。learn后面接的是一个宾语从句，而且连接词在从句中做learn 的宾语，所以只能用what，因为that在宾语从句中是纯连词，只能起连接作用，不能做句子成分。

　　D。think of表示“想起；认为”；think about表示“考虑”；think out表示“想出”；根据文章含义，答案应是D。

　　C。介词as表示“作为”，为正确选项。

　　认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

　　Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how.

　　1) Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

　　2) Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.

　　3) Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

　　4) Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

　　5) Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don't pass a test, so don't be overly worried.

　　There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.
