　　【2016高考英语综合能力测试题】

　　Is it hard to know how to react when your child hates reading, and even harder to figure-out how to inspire children to read? Try these meaningful steps to help move your unwilling child toward a book-filled future.

　　Zero in on the child's interests. Before you do anything, take a step back and examine what interests, or excites your child. Knowing what-interests him or her can help you find out what types of books he or she may enjoy reading.

　　Start small. That your child likes to ride horses doesn't mean that he or she needs to start by reading The A -Z History of Horseback Riding; that may be frightening, especially for an unwilling reader. Instead, consider watching a horse race with your child. Talk about the jockeys, the scores, the owners and the trainers. If the topic of interest is useless, start small by finding a magazine related to the subject. Reading doesn't need to begin with a chapter book; many other texts and various types of magazines can be worthwhile for these situations.

　　Practice shared reading. Shared reading could involve taking turns reading pages, or you and your child silently reading the same book. Shared reading can vary depending on your child's age and needs. Most kids really want to spend time with their parents, but once children reach seven or eight years old, many parents don't consider reading together. They think it is only meant for preschool or early elementary school days. For the ideal shared reading experience, choose texts that are rich, interesting and sure to lead to discussion. Part of the "sharing" in shared reading involves talking about the book. Perhaps several of your child's friends and their parents can start a book club where the books read through shared reading are discussed in a welcoming environment. Besides, find a reliable, child-safe website where your child can post a review of that book.

　　Unwilling readers are often struggling readers, so creating safe and comfortable environments where fluent reading is modeled and where children are set up for success is the key. Though there is no easy answer, it can help your child improve his reading interests.

　　36. Why don't many parents consider reading with their children aged 7 or 8?

　　A. They fail to k8now their children’s interests.

　　B. They don't understand their children's needs.

　　C. They think it unnecessary to do so at this time.

　　D. They have not prepared well yet.

　　37. Finding a child-safe website can_______.

　　A. build up a good reading environment

　　B. help children improve book reviews on the website

　　C. help children get some information from the Internet

　　D. inspire children to create a review of the book they read

　　38. According to the passage, in what order should we take the following steps to help the

　　young unwilling readers?

　　a. Set up a book club for children.

　　b. Check what children like first of all.

　　c. Lead children to start with something easy.

　　d. Spend some time reading with children.

　　A. a-c-d-b

　　B. b-c-a-d

　　C. b-d-a-c

　　D. b-c-d-a

　　39. We can conclude from the passage that________.

　　A. these steps have no focus or direction

　　B. these steps are not practical but easy to take

　　C. these steps aren't definitely reliable to operate

　　D. these steps are not magic but every little step helps

　　40. Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?

　　Central point=CP（中心要点） Point=P（要点）Sub-point=SP（次要点）

　　40. A。文章结构题。本文框架：总—分—总，分三个层次。第一段是第一层，也是全文的总领段。第二、三、四段之间为并列关系，是第二层。第三层包括两部分：第三段Start small后半部分继续说明如何从小处开始，第四段Practice shared reading后半段则继续说明如何进行分享阅读。第五段总结全文，与第一段呼应，也属于第一层次。故选A。

　　Global warming threatens to hold back human progress, and make unachievable all UN targets to reduce poverty, according to some of the world’s leading international and development groups.

　　In a report published today, Oxfam, Greenpeace, Christian Aid, Friends of the Earth, WWF and 15 other groups say rich governments must immediately address climate change to avoid even “unbearable levels” of worldwide poverty.

　　“Food production, water supplies, public health and people’s living environment are already being damaged,” the report says. “The world must meet its promise to achieve poverty reduction and also deal with climate change.”

　　The report, which draws on UN predictions of the effects of climate change in poor countries over the next 50 years, says poor countries will experience more flooding, declining food production, more disease and the worsening or disappearing of entire ecosystems(生态系统)on which many of the world’s poorest people depend.

　　“Climate change needs to be addressed now. The poor will bear the burden of it. The frontline experience of many of us working in international development indicates that communities are having to fight against more extreme weather conditions.”

　　Climate change will play havoc(浩劫)with agriculture and water supplies and will increase diseases. “By 2025 the proportion of the world’s population living in countries of great water stress will almost double, to 6 billion people. Tropical and sub-tropical areas will be hardest hit — those countries already suffering from food shortage”.

　　Poor countries mostly do not need high-tech solutions, but would most benefit from education, research and being shown how to farm better. The report says unchecked global warming, more than wars or political confusion, will displace millions of people and destabilize (不安定) many countries.

　　9. ________ should play a leading role in resisting the more extreme weather conditions according to the report.

　　A. International groups

　　B. Poor countries

　　C. Rich countries

　　D. Tropical and sub-tropical countries

　　10. Which of the following is not the effect of global warming according to the report?

　　A. More natural disasters and starvation.

　　B. Increasing the world’s population.

　　C. Making millions of people move to other places.

　　D. Shaking the foundation of a country.

　　11. Which of the following is not true according to the text?

　　A. Poverty and climate change are closely linked.

　　B. More and more people will suffer from the water stress and food shortage.

　　C. What the poor countries need badly is high technology.

　　D. International communities have to take steps to resist the bad climate.

　　12. What is the best title of the passage?

　　A. International Development Brings in Climate Change

　　B. Global Warming Is a Bigger Threat to Poor

　　C. International Groups Work Together to Reduce Poverty

　　D. Worldwide Poverty Shall Be Avoided

　　【答案与解析】

　　9. C 细节题。根据第二段中的“rich governments must immediately address climate change to avoid even "unbearable levels" of worldwide poverty”一句的意义可知：财力富足的政府必须立即致力于改变日益恶化的气候条件，以免全球范围内的贫穷上升到无法忍受的程度。由此可判断富裕国家应该起主导作用。

　　10. B 归纳题。文章第四段提到：气候变化将导致愈演愈烈的洪灾，不断衰减的粮食生产，疾病的威胁以及整个生态系统的退化甚至消失。文章最后一句又说：尚未得到抑制的全球变暖比战争和政变更可怕，它将迫使数百万人口迁移，动摇很多国家的安定局面。而B项在短文中没有提及

　　11. C 判断题。短文最后一段表述的意义是：对贫穷的社会来说，它们几乎不需要高科技的解决方案，但是教育、科研以及教授更好地耕作方式将使它们受益最多。此据判断可知。

　　12. B 主旨题。短文第一段第一句就表述了全文的中心，其意义是：据全球主要的国际发展组织推测，全球变暖不但威胁着人类发展的进程，有可能使之倒退，而且联合国所有减少贫穷的目标和计划都将无法实现。由此可简述为：全球气候变暖加剧贫穷。

　　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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　A

　　Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren't bad enough, he had no health insurance.

　　After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar , and created diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.

　　Jason Swencki’s son, Kody, was diagnosed with type diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children's forums(论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over," says Swencki, one of the site's volunteers. "They know what he's going through, so he doesn't feel alone."

　　Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.

　　These days, Thomas's main focus is his charity, Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people—225 to date—who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses. Fight-it.org has raised about $23,000—in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.

　　Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full-time job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar,

　　one of Rockstar's original members. "But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now." 1. Which of the following is true of Christopher Thomas?

　　He needs to go to the doctor every day.

　　He studies the leading cause of diabetes

　　He has a positive attitude to this disease.

　　He encourages diabetics by writing articles.

　　2. Diabeitcrockstar.com was created for _________.

　　A. diabetics to communicate

　　B. volunteers to find jobs

　　C. children to amuse themselves

　　D. rock stars to share resources.

　　3. According to the text, Kody ______.

　　A. feel lonely because of his illness

　　B. benefits from diabeticrockstar.com

　　C. helps create the online kid’s forums

　　D. writes children’s stories online

　　4. What can we learn about Fight It?

　　A. It helps the diabetics in financial difficulties.

　　B. It organizes parties for volunteer once a year.

　　C. It offers less expensive medicine to diabetics.

　　D. It owns a well-known medical website.

　　5. The last paragraph suggests that Thomas ______.

　　A. works full-time in a diabetes charity

　　B. employs 22 people for his website

　　C. helps diabetics in his own way

　　D. ties to find a cure for diabetes

　　Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.

　　The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.

　　Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.

　　But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But is also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.

　　There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.

　　6. What does the underlined phrase “over-consumption” refer to?

　　A. Using too much packaging.

　　B. Recycling too many wastes.

　　C. Making more products than necessary.

　　D. Having more material than is needed.

　　7. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _______.

　　A. the tendency of cutting household waste

　　B. the increase of packaging recycling

　　C. the rapid growth of super markets

　　D. the fact of packaging overuse

　　8. According to the text, recycling ______.

　　A. helps control the greenhouse effect

　　B. means burning packaging for energy

　　C. is the solution to gas shortage

　　D. leads to a waste of land

　　9. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

　　A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.

　　B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.

　　C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.

　　D. Other products are better packaged than food.

　　10. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

　　A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.

　　B. Needless material is mostly recycled.

　　C. People like collecting recyclable waste.

　　D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.
