　　2016年湖北武汉高考英语阅读理解二轮基础训练（24）（含答案）

　　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

　　D. it is impossible to get an exact figure of the world's disabled people

　　D. be most important

　　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____.

　　A. both physical and metal barriers are hard to break down

　　B. we should take a proper attitude towards the disabled

　　C. we should try our best to prevent disablement

　　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.

　　According to historical documents, the forefathers of the Naxi people were closely related to a tribe called “Maoniu Yi” in the Han Dynasty，“Maoniu Yi” in the Jin Dynasty and “Moxie Yi” in the Tang Dynasty.Between the early 10th century and the middle of the 13th century, production in the Lijiang area experienced marked changes, as agriculture replaced livestock (家畜)breeding as the main occupation of the people. Scores of agricultural, handicraft, mineral and livestock products were turned out, and the country presented a picture of prosperity. During that period, a number of slave­owning groups in Ninglang，Lijiang and Weixi counties gradually grew into a feudal manorial lord caste(世袭封建庄园领主制)．

　　In 1278 the Yuan Dynasty established

　　Lijiang Prefecture(自治州)representing the imperial court in Yunnan Province. This resulted in closer links between the Lijiang area and the centre of the empire.

　　In the early Ming Dynasty, the leader of the Naxi people，named Mude, was made chief of Lijiang Prefecture, exercising control over the Naxi and other ethnic groups nearby. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the chiefs from the Mu family kept taxes and tribute(贡品)flowing to the Ming court in the form of silver and grain. The Ming, in turn, relied on the Mu family as the mainstay for the control of the people of various ethnic groups in northwestern Yunnan Province.

　　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。If the earth's population is in growth at this rate , there will not be enough resources. By the middle of the 21st century, if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars, for example. Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on the earth will make it necessary for us to look for open space somewhere else. But none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. One possible solution to the problem, however, has recently been suggested by American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan.

　　Sagan believes that before the earth's resources are completely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus and so create a new world almost as large as the earth itself. The difficult is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there.

　　Sagan proposes that algae organisms(海藻有机体) that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen, should be bred in condition similar to those on Venus. As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets. Spaceship will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere .In a fairly short time, the algae will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.

　　When the algae have done their work, the atmosphere will become cooler, but before man can set foot on Venus it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on it but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproduced on Venus.

　　1.In the long run, the most difficult problem caused by population growth on the earth will probably be the lack of ______.

　　A. oil

　　B. food

　　C. resources

　　D. space　

　　.Carl Sagan believes that Venus might be a living place because _____

　　A. the days on Venus are long enough

　　B. it might be possible to change its atmosphere

　　C. there is a good supply of water on Venus

　　D. its atmosphere is the same as the earth's

　　3.Algae are plants that can____.

　　A. live in very hot temperature

　　　 B. live in very cold temperature

　　C. produce oxygen

　　D. all of the above

　　4. Man can land on Venus only when_______.

　　A. it rains there

　　B. there is oxygen

　　C. the atmosphere becomes cooler

　　D. the algae have done their work
