北京市东城区2016高考英语阅读理解学生联合自选（1）

　　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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。To get an extra 14 years of life, don't smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amount．That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine Journal．

　　After tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45 to 79 years in the United Kingdom from about 1993 to 2007, Kay-Tee Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived all average of 14 years longer than those who didn't．

　　“We've known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but we've not seen this benefit before, ” said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britain's Medical Research Council．“The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from．”

　　Study participants（参与者）scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake．

　　Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changes．But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 years．

　　“We can't say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things, ”said Dr．Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization．“The 14 years is an average across the population of what's theoretically（理论上地）possible．”

　　“Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking isn't good for them, ” Susan Jebb said．“We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change．”

　　53. Which of the following DOESN'T belong to the four healthy habits?

　　A. Eat five servings of fruits and vegetables a day．

　　BDo proper exercise in the morning every day．

　　CDrinking alcohol in the proper amount every day．

　　DHaving a cigarette before going to bed every day．

　　We can learn from the passage that

　　．

　　ASusan Jebb did not take part in the study．

　　Bthe study observed people as well as tested specific changes．

　　Cthere's no need for people under 45 to adopt these good habits．

　　Donly those from first class can benefit from these healthy behaviors．

　　What can be inferred from the passage?

　　A. All the people are well aware of the harm of their bad habits．

　　BPeople aged 45 to 70 have bad habits in the United Kingdom．

　　CGovernments should take measures to help people change their bad habits．

　　DPeople have adopted the four healthy habits after knowing they're good．

　　【参考答案】56、 CDBAB

　　阅读理解---------E

　　Drunken driving—sometimes called America’s socially accepted form of murder—has become a national epidemic（流行病）. Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past ten years. A drunken driver is usually referred to as one with 0.10-blood alcohol content or roughly three beer glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American manly image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken killing has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially concerning young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant（忍受）.

　　Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend（逆转潮流）in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18—20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.

　　Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink.

　　Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests in many areas already, to a marked drop in accidents, some states are also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A bar in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously drunk” and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.

　　As the accidents continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years national prohibition（禁令）of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the “noble experiment”. They forgot that legal prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption（腐败）and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.

　　57. What can be inferred from the fact of the traffic accidents in New Jersey?

　　A. Young drivers were usually bad.

　　B. The legal drinking age should be raised.

　　C. Some drivers didn’t surprise the legal drinking age.

　　D. Drivers should not be allowed to drink.

　　58. The underlined word “lenient” in the first paragraph means

　　.

　　A. merciful B. cruel C. serious D. determined

　　59. As regards drunken driving, public opinion has changed because

　　.

　　A. judges are no longer lenient

　　B. new laws are introduced in some states

　　C. drivers do not appreciate their manly image

　　D. the problem has attracted public attention

　　60. Which of the following statements best shows the writer’s opinion of drunken driving?

　　A. It is difficult to solve this problem.

　　B. It may lead to organized crime.

　　C. The new laws can stop heavy drinking

　　D. There should be no bars to serve drinks.

　　【2016陕西省商南县高级中学高三上二模】D

　　Hunan Satellite TV is losing its leading position? There’s reason for saying this. In 2012, the reality talent show , the voice of China, on the Zhejiang Television became the most popular program in China.

　　The reaon for its popularity was really because its excellent quality? Or can we assume that without any opponent（对手）, we can’t tell a contestant（参赛者） is winning because he is really talented or because there’s no comparison?

　　The administrative department really contributed a lot in the popularity of the voice of China. In the past, there was no other draft shows(选秀节目) ranked as high as Super Girl and Super Boy. Even though there were some draft shows which seemed to share the popularity, it never turned out true. All the other draft shows were shodowed by the ones on Hunan TV. One example was that since draft shows of Hunan TV were broadcast on Friday night, the draft shows of other stations were shifted to Saturday or Sunday. However, Hunan TV didn’t get their permission for broadcasting shows in 2012.

　　And if this were not bad enough, SARFT did a great favor for it. SARFT issued a regulation, saying that all draft shows should be broadcast after 10:30 pm at night. Zhejiang TV declared long before the regulation that since was “no audition(海选)， no PK, no rise in rank, no voting, no champion”, its program was never a draft show. So, in 2012, all the opponents of Zhejiang TV had to broadcast their draft shows after 10:30 pm while the voice of China was permitted to be broadcast in prime time.

　　If you really think about it, there’s no esential different between a draft show and the voice of China. It also selected people from all over the country, how did they say this were different from a draft show? No PK,really? PK doesn’t mean one versus one！ A team versus a team is called PK too. And “no rise in rank?” is just a switch of concepts because at the end of every game, some left the stage and some stayed. If there was really “no champion”, how come there was only one “good voice of China” at the final round? All these were rising in rank, in disguise(隐性).

　　Under such cimcumstance, the voice of China even got praise. We are not saying that it is not a good show: we are saying that there’s regret about the show since it had no opponent.

　　58. The following factors are important in making the voice of China popular EXCEPT ______.

　　A. the unique quality of the voice of China

　　B. the policy support from SARFT and the administrative department

　　C. the favorable broadcasting time.

　　D. the shortage of good opponents

　　59. The passage mainly tells us ______

　　A. the voice of China is not a real draft show

　　B. the advantages of the voice of China

　　C. the draft shows of Hunan Satellite TV still cause our attention

　　D. the reasons for Hunan Satellite TV is losing its leading position

　　60. What’s the author’s attitude towards the voice of China?

　　A. supportive

　　B. hopeful

　　C. doubtful

　　D. optimistic
