　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

　　America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the aging of America has made us a very different society — one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.

　　A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/ her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.

　　Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age.” No one says “Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.

　　1. It can be learned from the text that the aging of the population in America ________.

　　A. has made people feel younger

　　B. has changed people’s social position

　　C. has changed people’s understanding of age

　　D. has slowed down the country’s social development

　　2. The underlined word “one” refers to ________.

　　A. a society

　　B. America

　　C. a place

　　D. population

　　3. “Act your age” means people should ________.

　　A. be active when they are old

　　B. do the right thing at the right age

　　C. show respect to their parents young or old

　　D. take more physical exercises suitable to their age

　　4. If a’ 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it _________.

　　A. normal

　　B. wonderful 

　　C. unbelievable

　　D. unreasonable

　　1. C 主旨题。根据第一、二段的最后一句及第三段可判断。

　　2. A 细节题。one是a society的同位语且后面跟了一个定语从句，可以通过分析句子结构得出正确答案。

　　3. B 细节题。全文最后一句话给出了提示。

　　4. A 推理题。可仔细阅读第二段中倒数第二句话。

　　2016高考训练题。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。

　　If you didn't look at them, they weren't there, right? On seeing those in rags on the corner, I only wanted the light to turn green fast enough so that I wouldn't have to keep pretending not to see them.

　　Then, one day, as I was holding the hand of my best friend Jane who was young but dying of breast cancer, she told me that she made every moment count by slowing down and by seeing everything . I held her hand for five years and then she passed away. She did teach me something. It took a while for her words to really sink in. I can be a slow learner.

　　I started by seeing everything, and focused on their presence. One day I saw a Vietnam veteran(老兵). I asked him what would make his day.

　　"A hot cup of coffee," he told me.

　　I bought him a cup of coffee, a stack of pancakes, some eggs, and so on. After our meal together, I asked him if there was anything else that would make his life a bit easier.

　　"A new pair of socks, "he said.

　　Socks, really? I actually happened to be wearing a nice pair of wool hiking socks at that very moment. I told him that I wanted to give him the pair I was wearing if he would accept it. Finally he agreed. We sat down on a bench, and he started to first take off his boots, and then remove the black socks that had once been white off his feet. I think a layer or two of skin might have come off with them. Taking his new pair of socks, he held the socks up to his cheeks and said they were warm and smelled as good as me, pools of tears in his eyes.

　　Such a simple luxury (奢侈品) I used to take for granted. Now I always have an extra pair with me in my car. They are always my best pair, just waiting to be given away.

　　1. On seeing the homeless, the author used to_______.

　　A. act as if they were not there

　　B. show mercy to them

　　C. hide in the corner

　　D. make fun of them

　　2. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?

　　A. He was slow in learning things.

　　B. His best friend was once a teacher.

　　C. He was sad that his friend was dying.

　　D. He didn't understand Jane's words at first.

　　3. Why does the author always have an extra pair of socks in his car?

　　A. To decorate his car.

　　B. To sell it to others.

　　C. To keep it for a change.

　　D. To donate it to a needy person.

　　4. What does the author want to convey to us?

　　A. All men are born equal.

　　B. Don't miss doing any good thing.

　　C. A beggar's purse is bottomless.

　　D. Don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

　　Heading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind:

　　Dress to impress: Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says, “Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional network. You don’t need to dress like you’re going to the office, but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence, and look put together.”

　　Logo mania (品牌狂热症): Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at. It’s tempting to load up on logos, especially well-known logos that signify high-end brands. But consider this: college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style. Instead of wearing logos head to toe, “walking advertisement”-style, why not express who you really are?

　　Wear real pants! The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses. Smith points out that leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless you’re exercising. Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear. As a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level. So, get rid of leggings and wear real pants!

　　Keep the cute factor to a minimum: Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters, or Hello Kitty on them. Sure, kittens might be cute, but they’re not doing you any favors in the style department. Dressing too cutesy can take years off your look, and not necessarily in a good way!

　　1. The second paragraph indicates the importance of ________.

　　A. impressing professors

　　B. getting on well with classmates

　　C. creating a professional image

　　D. dressing appropriately

　　2. The author believes that college girls should ________.

　　A. choose a logo that suits their age

　　B. try to load up on well-known logos

　　C. use logos to show who they are

　　D. find their identity by trying different logos

　　3. The author recommends wearing real pants because ________.

　　A. leggings and baggy shirts are too common

　　B. yoga pants and sweatpants are not as comfortable

　　C. real pants can present you with appropriate maturity

　　D. people like real pants better than the other pants

　　4. What’s the writer’s attitude towards sweaters with animals on them?

　　A. They make people look lovely.

　　B. They are very fashionable these days.

　　C. They will show you’re an animal lover.

　　D. They are not suitable for college-aged students.

　　5. In which magazine would you most likely find this passage?

　　A. Business Week.

　　B. Parents.

　　C. In style.

　　D. Travel & Leisure.

　　2016高考训练题。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。

　　Italians were reminded to slow down and relax on World Slow Day, an annual event celebrating life's simple pleasures.

　　"Let's take this day to stop and think about all the things we miss while we're rushing through our lives," said Bruno Contigiani, the President of the Art of Living Slowly Association. Contigiani, 62, a one-time high-powered manager, is now an ambassador for the slow life movement around the world. He started the first World Slow Day in 2007 to encourage the values of living and working at a more natural pace, and to make people rethink their daily lifestyle.

　　Contigiani's association suggests "14 commandments (诫条) " for living better, such as waking up five minutes earlier to enjoy breakfast without rushing. Others include walking whenever possible, and reading in the evenings instead of watching television.

　　This year, Contigiani left Italy where the event has spread around the country for Shanghai, one of the fastest moving cities in the world. The slow-living supporter said he wandered around the busiest streets of the commercial center for an entire afternoon, inviting people to "slow down". "Among the ‘14 commandments’, the one about waking up five minutes earlier was the most popular by far, " Contigiani said.

　　Back in Italy, the now well-known event hosts a lot of activities, such as reminding people to stop and smell the roses. In central Milan you would probably be fined if you walk too fast. In parks and public spaces, free yoga and Tai Chi (太极拳) lessons are important parts of the events.

　　Italian farmers' union noted that Italians spent less and less time preparing meals, a habit connected to rising levels of obesity（肥胖）. Therefore, the group said World Slow Day was a good opportunity to remind Italians to take extra time at meals in particular.

　　World Slow Day is by now an international event. A total of 90 “Slow Cities" in 11 countries inspired by the “live well" philosophy are supporting the day.

　　1. What's the best title of the text?

　　A. Slow Life Supporters

　　B. Lifestyle of Italy

　　C. World Slow Day

　　D. Living Well

　　2. World Slow Day is intended to

　　.

　　A. tell people to walk slowly

　　B. encourage people to enjoy pleasant things

　　C. advise people to adjust to modern lifestyle

　　D. remind people to live and work at a natural pace

　　3. Which of the following goes against the "commandments"?

　　A. Walking whenever possible.

　　B. Slowing down to smell flowers.

　　C. Watching TV in the evenings instead of reading.

　　D. Waking up five minutes earlier to enjoy breakfast.

　　4. In which section of a newspaper is the text probably put?

　　A. Advertisement.

　　B. Culture.

　　C. Business.

　　D. Entertainment.
