　　2016高考模拟题。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。Janelle was running late for work, so she just had time for a quick look at herself in the mirror as she was going out. What she saw there made her stop dead in her tracks.

　　Being a busy college student just one year removed from her teenage years, she wasn’t exactly obsessive-compulsive(有强迫观念和行为的) about the neatness of her clothes. But her boss at the restaurant where she works saw things a little differently. He had recently lectured the entire staff on the importance of appearance, and had specifically mentioned the need for servers to wear clean, unwrinkled blouses. As an assistant manager, Janelle felt it was important to set an example for the other employees. But if she stopped to iron the blouse normally, she would be late —and work without delay was an area of even greater concern to her boss.

　　So she grabbed her iron and plugged it in and set it for low heat. Carefully holding her blouse away from her body, she continued to iron it while she was wearing it. It seemed like a logical answer to an urgent problem.

　　And it seemed to be working until Janelle tried to iron the collar and accidentally ironed her neck by mistake. Then it suddenly seemed like a really stupid idea and a really painful one as well. It took more time to treat her burn than it would have taken to iron her shirt properly. And she spent a miserable shift dealing with the pain of the burn.

　　We’ve all been there, haven’t we? For me it was cutting my own hair. For a former roommate it was trying to pull his own wisdom teeth. For another college acquaintance, it was trying to change the oil in his car while the motor was still running.

　　“There’s a right way and a wrong way of doing things,” Dad used to tell me whenever I’d spoil the look of our yard by trying out a faster, easier and more creative way of pulling weeds or edging the lawn. “If a thing is worth doing,” he said, “it’s worth doing it right.” There’s a reason why certain things are done in certain ways. Those old, boring, predictable ways work.

　　1．Jenelle found in the mirror that __________.

　　A．there were stains on her blouse

　　B．her blouse was wrinkled

　　C．she wore heavy makeup

　　D．she put on a wrong blouse

　　．It’s learned from Paragraph 2 that______________.

　　A．Jenelle had no sense of responsibility at work

　　B．Jenelle failed to set an example for employees in daily work

　　C．Jenelle didn’t care about the neatness of her clothes at all

　　D．Jenelle’s boss put doing something on time above appearance

　　3．What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?

　　A．We all have done loads of things like Janelle.

　　B．We are careful enough in daily life.

　　C．We all have done something creative.

　　D．We all have tried to iron clothes while we are wearing them.

　　4．What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph ?

　　A．Be creative.

　　B．A bad beginning makes a bad ending.

　　C．Stick to old ways.

　　D．Do things right.

　　阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　Eddie Mckay,a once-forgotten pilot,is a subject of great interest to a group of history students in Canada.

　　It all started when Graham Broad,a professor at the University of Western Ontario,found McKay’s name in a footnote in a book about university history. McKay was included in a list of university alumni (校友)who had served during the First World War,but his name was unfamiliar to Broad,a specialist in military history. Out of curiosity,Broad spent hours at the local archives (档案馆)in a fruitless search for information on McKay. Tired and discouraged,he finally gave up. On his way out,Broad’s glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture,he experienced a thrilling realization. “After looking for him all day,there he was,staring up at me out of the exhibiting case,” said Broad. Excited by the find,Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers and other materials for clues. Gradually,a picture came into view.

　　Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes,outlived his entire squadron(中队)as a WWI flyer,spent some time as a flying instructor in England,then returned to the front,where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But there’s more to his story. “For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most famous pilot in the world,” says Broad. “He was credited with downing Oswald Boelcke,the most famous German pilot at the time.” Yet,in a letter home,McKay refused to take credit,saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another German plane.

　　McKay’s war records were destroyed during a World War Ⅱ air bombing on London—an explanation for why he was all but forgotten.

　　But now,thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students,a marker in McKay’s memory was placed on the university grounds in November 2007. “I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word‘deceased’ (阵亡)next to his name,” said Corey Everrett,a student who found a picture of Mckay in his uniform. “This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us,but instead of finishing his time at Western,he chose to fight and die for his country.”

　　1. What made Professor Broad continue his search for more information on McKay?

　　A. A uniform of McKay.B. A footnote about McKay.

　　C. A book on McKay.

　　D. A picture of McKay.

　　2. What did the students find out about McKay?

　　C. He died in the Second World War.

　　D. He was downed by the pilot Boelcke.

　　3. McKay’s flying documents were destroyed in.　

　　A. BelgiumB. GermanyC. CanadaD. England

　　4. We can learn from the last paragraph that McKay.　

　　A. preferred fight to his study

　　B. went to war before graduation

　　C. left a picture for Corey Everrett

　　D. set an example for his fellow students

　　5. What is the text mainly about?

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项。

　　A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly，courteous and helpful most Americans were to them．To be fair，this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians，and should best be considered North American．There are，of course，exceptions．Small-minded officials，rude waiters，and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US．Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment．For a long period of time and in many parts of the country, a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence．

　　Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another．Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of diversion，and brought news of the outside world．The harsh realities of the frontier also shaped this tradition of hospitality．

　　Someone traveling alone，if hungry，injured，or ill，often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement．It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers．It reflected the harshness of daily life： if you didn‘t take in the stranger and take care of him，there was no one else who would．And someday，remember，you might be in the same situation．Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the weary traveler．Yet，the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US，especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist trails．“I was just traveling through，got talking with this American，and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner—amazing．” Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon，but are not always understood properly．

　　1．In the eyes of visitors from the outside world，___________．

　　A．rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US 

　　B．small-minded officials deserve a serious comment 

　　C．Canadians are not so friendly as their neighbors

　　C．to add some flavor to their own daily life 

　　D．out of a charitable impulse

　　A．tends to be superficial and artificial 

　　B．is generally well kept up in the united States
