　　阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

　　Have you got some paper, a pair of scissors and, above all, a desire to decorate your house? Then, we have the perfect holiday artwork for you: Make Star Wars snowflakes (雪花). Remembered as a cherished form of work in classrooms before the holidays, paper snowflakes have drawn many people's attention again.

　　The designer, Anthony Herrera, just recently released his 2016 collection. "The Star Wars snowflake designs began as just doing designs of characters that I and my daughter wanted to make three years ago," Herrera told us in an email. "The second year I introduced vehicles, and this year I decided to push further by designing battle scenes."

　　Sometimes, he feels a bit bored with his job. With each year, the designs have got more detailed and various, but the process of creating them remained the same: sketching figures on paper with a pencil until a symmetrical (对称）pattern comes out, then scanning the designs and cut them with scissors. However, he says he has plenty of ideas for new flakes next year, so no two will ever be the same. Hopefully with Star Wars: Episode VII coming in 2015 he'll have even more work in the future.

　　Check out your favorite finished versions of Herrera’s flakes (from both 2016 and previous years) and download the pictures beneath them and then get down to creating your own work. A warning: Most designs aren't for the casual flake-maker, so patience you must have.

　　1. Making paper snowflakes draws many people's attention probably because ______.

　　A. it is a traditional form of decoration

　　B. it is a course of artwork in school

　　C. it is a way of killing time in holiday

　　D. it is designed by Anthony Herrera

　　2. From the text, we know that Herrera ______.

　　A. can make snowflakes with his daughter's help

　　B. made more complicated designs before 2016

　　C. introduced paper vehicles in 2011

　　D. will make a great variety of detailed paper flakes

　　3. Herrera is fed up with the job sometimes because ______

　　A. he has to design detailed and different patterns

　　B. he has to follow the fixed process of paper cutting

　　C. he spends much time designing, scanning and cutting

　　D. he has few ideas for what the next designs will be like

　　阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

　　"Can I get a light?" This question is among the most common between smokers. What if this question was to come from an unusual source? In April 2016, the National Health Promotion Foundation uploaded an anti-smoking advertisement onto YouTube. The anti-smoking ad has quickly been known as the "most powerful anti-smoking ad."

　　The anti-smoking video, called the "Smoking Kid," features children walking up to adult smokers asking for a light. The children in the ad are actors but the adults smoking are unsuspecting participants in the project.

　　The video begins with the statement "adults know that smoking is harmful, but don’t remind themselves of this fact " Once a "smoking kid" approaches the adults, every adult asked is shocked that a child with a cigarette in hand is asking for a light. The first adult starts by saying, "I’m not giving it to you," and the video goes on to state "every adult filmed said no and reminded the children that smoking is bad."

　　Before going away, the kid hands each adult a booklet after being turned down for a light. The booklet says, "You worry about me, but why not about yourself?" Each adult looks around for the child as their faces are filled with confusion and discomfort.

　　The video shows that a few of the smokers quickly threw away their cigarettes or put their cigarettes away, showing that this experiment was affective at that moment.

　　The most influential element in the ad isn't the use of children or the responses from the smoking adults. It comes down to something much simpler than that. Why is it that we worry about other people, forgetting to worry about ourselves?

　　1. According to the text, the anti-smoking ad is ______.

　　A. unusual

　　B. shocking

　　C. influential

　　D. encouraging

　　2. The underlined word "unsuspecting" (in Para. 2) probably means ______

　　A. uninformed

　　B. unwilling

　　C. unfortunate

　　D. unacceptable

　　3. What are the adults，reactions to the children asking for a light?

　　A. They pay no attention to children's request.

　　B. They reject kids，request and educate them.

　　C. They look around for children's parents.

　　D. They quickly throw children's cigarettes away.

　　4. The best title of the text might be ______.

　　A. Give up smoking, for your own sake

　　B. Keep away from smoking, adults

　　C. Tell your children not to smoke

　　D. Reject a child asking for a light

　　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。For a while, my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers(慢跑者). They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “Come on!” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “You’ll feel great.”

　　Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army, I’m not alone in my opinion.

　　First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet take a real pounding（重击）running down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.

　　Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts.” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.

　　And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn’t just the first week;it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?

　　I don’t jog any more, and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I’m getting exercise, and I’m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.

　　1. The underlined word “them”(Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _____.

　　A. heart attacks

　　B. back problems

　　C. famous joggers

　　D. physical weaknesses

　　2. What was the writer’s attitude towards jogging in the beginning?

　　A. He felt it was worth a try.

　　B. He was very fond of it.

　　C. He was strongly against it.

　　D. He thought it must be painful.

　　3. Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?

　　A. He disliked doing exercise outside.

　　B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting.

　　C. He was afraid of having a heart attack.

　　D. He was worried about being left alone.

　　4. From the writer’s experience, we can conclude that______.

　　A. not everyone enjoys jogging

　　B. he is the only person who hates jogging

　　C. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fit

　　D. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport

　　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。

　　Stress caused by social situations, such as giving a speech or going to a job interview, can affect some people’s immune system in ways that harm their health, researchers have found.

　　The study included 124 volunteers who were purposely put into embarrassed social situations. Those who showed greater neural (神经) sensitivity to social rejection also had greater increases in inflammatory (炎症) activity when exposed to social stress.

　　“It turns out there are important differences in how people explain and respond to social situations,” lead author George Slavich, at the Cousins Center for Psychoneuroimmunology at the University of California, Los Angeles, said in a UCLA news release.

　　“For example,” he explained, “we sometimes see giving a speech in front of an audience as a welcomed challenge; other times, it’s threatening and sad. In this study, we sought to examine the neural bases for these differences in response and to understand how these differences relate to biological processes that can affect human health and well-being.”

　　The findings provide “further evidence of how closely our mind and body are connected. We have known for a long time that social stress can get under the skin to increase risk for disease, but it’s been unclear exactly how these effects occur. As we know, this study is the first to identify the neurocognitive (神经认知) pathways that might be involved in inflammatory responses to sharp social stress,” Slavich said.

　　Increases in inflammatory activity are part of the immune system’s natural response to potentially harmful situations, but “frequent or chronic (慢性的) activation of the system may increase the risk for a variety of illnesses,” Slavich added.

　　The study was released online Aug. 2 in advance of publication in an upcoming print issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

　　1. Where do you first find the study?

　　A. A magazine.　B. A website.　 C. A literature. D. An advertisement.

　　2. Judging from volunteers, 　might be more likely to have inflammation.

　　A. those who were more sensitive to social rejection

　　B. those who were purposely put into society

　　C. those who gave a speech before audience

　　D. those who suffered frequent or chronic illness

　　3. The author quotes examples of the fourth paragraph mainly to　.

　　A. show further evidence of how closely our mind and body are connected

　　B. prove important differences in how people explain and respond to social situations

　　C. explain volunteers are sensitive to social rejection when exposed to social stress

　　D. make clear that how stress caused by social situations breaks down immune system

　　4. We can infer that　if there is inflammatory response in people’s immune system.

　　A. chronic illness will be caused by the repeated stress

　　B. doctors can identify the neurocognitive pathways

　　C. people may avoid being affected by sharp social stress

　　D. risk of getting various diseases will be reduced
