　　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。Going on holiday not only makes you feel good while you're there --- you gain the health benefits for months, new research shows.

　　Jetting off to exotic destinations such as the Maldives cuts your blood pressure, helps you sleep better and bounce back from stress, it found. The benefits last at least a fortnight longer than the vacation and can be felt for months in some cases where it is claimed. Experts say workers should always take their full holiday entitlement each year --- as many as one in three don’t --- to get the benefits.

　　The study compared key health markers in holidaymakers visiting Thailand, Peru or the Maldives, with people who stayed at home and continued working. The average blood pressure of those on holiday dropped by six percent while the workers saw their blood pressure rise by two percent over the same period. The sleep quality of holidaymakers improved by 17 percent while that of the non-holidaymakers deteriorated by 14 percent.

　　The study also found the ability of vacationers to recover from stress --- known as the stress-resilience test --- improved by 29 percent. There was a 71 percent fall in stress resilience scores among workers. Tests showed a fall in blood glucose levels, reducing the risk of diabetes, trimmer waistlines and enhanced mood and energy levels, with the effects sustained for at least two weeks after returning home.

　　The Holiday Health Experiment was conducted by tour operator Kuoni and Nuffield Health, the UK’s largest healthcare charity.

　　C. 17 percent.

　　阅读理解。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。

　　The American book Who Moved My Cheese has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don't be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too may students.

　　Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two "little people" and some cheese.

　　The four are in a maze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can't change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can't do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.

　　After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.

　　【参考答案】1—5、BCAAD

　　【2016高考训练】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。We thought we had it all --- a beautiful house, three healthy children and one more on the way, two cars, a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment --- and we loved it. Then, the market turned and my husband’s job at a construction company was gone. The company was closing down for good.

　　We both started looking for jobs right away, but there weren’t any to be found. With each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through. The more we pulled together, the closer we got. I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadn’t felt in years.

　　That’s why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation. I continually asked him to stop, but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.

　　Finally, one afternoon I pulled him aside and said, “We have four healthy children and each other. That’s what’s important. That makes you a rich man.”

　　“But what if we lose the house? They’ll hate me --- you’ll hate me,” he replied.

　　I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye. “No matter where we live I will be happy --- as long as I have you,” I smiled again as I realized that I wasn’t just saying that. In all the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said “I do”.

　　I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed. He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we hadn’t for quite some time. It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family.

　　We are still struggling for our better life, but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can’t buy and no one can take away from us.

　　1、The underlined sentence in the second paragraph means that ______.

　　they became closer as they struggled together

　　they hoped to find jobs in the same company

　　neither of them had the courage to face the difficulty

　　they were trying to make their relationship closer

　　2、We can learn from the passage that ______.

　　they both found good jobs at last

　　both of them were worried about joblessness

　　her husband was to blame for the unemployment

　　they didn’t love each other when they got married

　　3、Which of the following can best describe their present life?

　　Bitter but easy.

　　B. Comfortable and happy.

　　C. Hard but warm.

　　D. Well-off and relaxing.

　　4、The best title of the passage might be ______.

　　We Have It All

　　B. We Find It Again.

　　C.A Perfect Couple

　　D. Hard Time

　　参考答案1—4、ABCA　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。There are probably no people on Earth who like to gossip as much as the British. If prying into(打探) other’s lives were an Olympic sport, then Team GB would surely take the gold medal.

　　And when the British can’t watch the lives of real people, they have another source of entertainment to fall back on—the soap opera. British soap operas are very different to US TV dramas. For one, they are normally longer running. The two most popular, Coronation Street and East-enders, have been running for 48 and 24 years respectively. Both are broadcast several times a week, so remarkably there have been more than 7,000 episodes of Coronation Street.

　　The most obvious difference is that, unlike US dramas, the British soap operas focus on the real world. There is little glamour (魅力), the stars are rarely rich, and they normally have boring jobs. Perhaps the appeal is that the lives of the characters often mirror the lives of the audience—but with some drama added. This means the viewer can relate to the characters and feel the pain and happiness they go through on the show.

　　Because these soap operas last for decades, the cast is ever changing. The shows rarely focus on one or two main characters. Like the real world, people come and go all the time. However, there are exceptions. Coronation Street’s William Roach, 76, has played the role of Ken Barlow since the very first episode of the show in 1960, and he is still a regular.

　　The choice of which soap opera you follow is often cultural: People from the north of British tend to watch Coronation Street as it is set in Manchester. People from the south generally prefer East-enders, which is set in the east of London. The show is generally considered grittier and is aimed at a younger audience.

　　1. What is the main difference between American dramas and British soap operas?

　　A. American dramas are longer.

　　B. British soap operas are longer.

　　C. American dramas deal with dangerous things.

　　D. British soap operas deal with real people.

　　2. Why do British people like to watch such operas?

　　A. They can find their own life from the operas.

　　B. They can enjoy the operas in their free time.

　　C. They can watch the operas for many years.

　　D. They care about the fate of the characters in the operas.

　　3. The underlined world “episodes” in the 2nd paragraph probably means ______.

　　A. plays

　　B. pages

　　C. issues

　　D. parts

　　4. One characteristic of British operas is that ______.

　　A. the characters play the same role for a long time.

　　B. the characters in the play often change

　　C. people don’t know what will happen next

　　D. there is only one or two characters in them
