　　【由内蒙古包头市201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。

　　Prejudice is a preconceived opinion that is not based on fact or reason. Examples of prejudice in schools include believing that some students are particular type of people simply because of the way they dress or act, or believing that a certain group is good at sports simply because many peop1e in that group are goad at sports. Another example is believing that a boy is good at science because many boys are good at science.

　　I would like to cite more examples from the English literature. The best example of “prejudice” can be found in Jane Austen’s novels. Her novels in the history of English literature are popularly known as "novels of manners".Thus you can clearly understand that where manners and social behavior are concerned，"prejudice" is nevitable ! Austen' s famous novel Pride and Prejudice is the best example in this respect. When you read the novel, the very first line that would strike you is “it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”It is an example of 18th century English middle class prejudice that eventually looked upon women just as an object that would serve as the basic sign for a man to establish his manliness and his superior and well acquired financial status. This novel is chiefly about class division，social norms and the consequent human behavior. The characters Elizabeth and Darcy，in their journey of 1ife through the course of the novel, highlight their personal prejudices towards one another that arise from their different social strata(阶层).Darcy，a rich man , at first ,

　　fails to admire the beauty and intelligence of Elizabeth because of her low social status:"she is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me;”and Elizabeth，proud of her "first impressions"，failed to understand the well natured man under the proud and unfriendly Darcy.

　　. What is "prejudice" defined in this passage?

　　A. Prejudice is a reasonable idea that is based on one’s own experience.

　　B. Prejudice is a preference for one group of people or things over another.

　　C. Prejudice is a preconceived opinion before becoming aware of fact or reason.

　　D. Prejudice is an unreasonable dislike of a particular group of people or things.

　　2. The underlined word "inevitable" in the second paragraph probably_means_

　　.

　　A. unavoidable

　　B. reasonable

　　C. unbelievable

　　D. valuable

　　3.From the novel Pride and Prejudice，we can’t learn that

　　.

　　A. where manners and social behavior are concerned "prejudice" is inevitable

　　B. "prejudice" was defined and compared with“pride” in 18th century

　　C.

　　it's about class division，social norms and the consequent human behavior

　　D. personal prejudices towards one another arise from different social strata

　　阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　The principles about applying for jobs have altered greatly lately. In the past, people preferred a hand-written application letter. However, nowadays it is becoming more and more common to apply for a job through the Internet. You can find information on the Internet about how to apply for jobs. Information can be found about how to fulfill your application letter, the clothes that you should wear and how to carry out the interview itself.

　　The importance of body language is often mentioned, but doesn’t always get the attention it deserves. After all, before a word has ever been spoken, your body language will have already given people their first impression of you. Additionally, your body language will also give out a lot more information. Based on your body language it can be seen if you are self-confident. It can also show if you are a busy or a quiet type and it helps give an impression of whether you are speaking truthfully or not. Body language can show how enthusiastic you are and if you are a nice person, someone who will take his work seriously, but also someone who has a sense of humor and can enjoy a joke from time to time. The members of the application committee will ask you questions, but your answers won’t only be oral. The committee will not only pay attention to what you say, but also to how you say it!Body language will determine first if it“clicks”, and sometimes all it takes is just a few seconds. Everybody uses body language, but it takes place mostly at a subconscious (下意识的)level. Using body language appropriately, you can definitely increase your chances of getting a job.

　　1. What kind of people is the text mainly meant for?

　　A. Interviewers.B. Job-hunting people.

　　C. Employers. D. Lay-off workers.

　　2. We can learn from the first paragraph that______.　

　　A. hand-written letters are not used in finding a job

　　B. the more expensive clothes interviewees wear, the better

　　C. body language is more important than spoken words

　　D. Internet is of significance in applying for a job

　　3. Using body language well in a job interview will probably______.　

　　A. get rid of the interviewers’ prejudice

　　B. determine what position one will get

　　C. increase the possibility to get the wanted job

　　D. help one remove nervousness

　　4. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. Those using body language are usually confident.

　　B. Body language is often used on purpose in job hunting.

　　C. Body language is a mirror to reflect one’s personality.

　　D. People enjoying jokes are preferred in a job interview.

　　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。It’s roughly estimated that there are 450 million disabled people in the world. No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world.The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.

　　In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.

　　Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them.

　　Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability not their disability that count.

　　1.The first paragraph points out that______.

　　A. the number of disabled people in India is the greatest

　　B. India has much more disabled people than Canada

　　C. there are many disabled people in the world

　　3.Which of the following statements is not true?

　　A. About 10 percent of

　　people in the UK are disabled.

　　B. Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.

　　C. There still exists prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignorance

　　D. The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people

　　4.It can be concluded from the passage that____.

　　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。

　　Kingda Ka, the tallest roller coaster （过山车） on Earth, drops its passengers a life-flashing 418 feet. Ferrari World's Formula Rossa, the fastest, takes riders' breath away at speeds of up to150 mph. BRC Imagination Arts, a Southern California design firm, has proposed something entirely new: a ride that creates the sensation of zero gravity for up to eight seconds at a time.

　　BRC drew its concept from the "Vomit Comet," the plane NASA uses to train astronauts. Its proposed theme-park ride would travel up and then back, similar to the existing "Superman: Escape from Krypton" coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in California. But unlike Superman and other open-car coasters, the vomit-comet ride would be fully enclosed. Riders would enjoy the illusion of floating within a stable chamber.

　　To create that illusion, a special motor system would speed coasters up the track with great precision（精确度）. As the coaster approached a top speed of more than 100 mph, it would suddenly and ever so slightly slow down—just enough to throw the passengers up from their seats and then quickly adjust its speed to fly in formation with and around the passengers. As the coaster reached the top of the track and began to drop back down, the computer system would continue to match its speed to that of the falling passengers, extending the sensation of weightlessness for several additional seconds, and finally rapidly slow down to a stop back at the base station.

　　Roller coasters typically cost no more than $30 million, but the zero-gravity ride would cost $50 million or more, to a large extent because the precision-response propulsion system（推进系统） is so complex. But if someone were to write a check today, Rogers says, his company could be sending riders on weightless journeys by the end of 2016.

　　1. What makes BRC's coaster different?

　　A. It's the tallest roller coaster in the States.

　　B. It's the fastest roller coaster on Earth.

　　C. It can bring a sensation of zero gravity to its riders.

　　D. It is a NASA product.

　　2. Why would people in BRC's coaster have an illusion of floating in the chamber?

　　A. Because it's designed with the inspiration of Superman.

　　B. Because a special functioning motor system is applied to it.

　　C. Because the coaster can approach a top speed of more than 100 mph.

　　D. Because the coaster would cost $20 million more than normal ones.

　　3. At what point could a rider begin to feel weightless?

　　A. When the coaster reduced its speed immediately after it reached its top speed.

　　B. When the coaster began to increase its speed.

　　C. When the coaster reduced its speed to a stop back at the base station.

　　D. When the coaster reached the top of the track.

　　4. What can we infer from the passage?

　　A. BRC is a famous design firm.

　　B. You feel like a superman when riding BRC coaster.

　　C. BRC's budget can't make the project complete until 2016.

　　D. Kingda Ka and Ferrari World's Formula Rossa will close down soon.
