　　2016年湖北武汉高考英语阅读理解二轮基础训练（12）（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、D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　Study finds being sociable is good for your health, while loneliness is as bad for you as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

　　A circle of close friends and strong family ties can improve a person’s health more than exercise, losing weight or quitting cigarettes and alcohol, psychologists say. Sociable people seem to benefit extra rewards from their relationships by feeling less stressed, taking better care of themselves and having less risky lifestyles than those who are more lonely, they say.

　　A review of studies into the effect of relationships on health found that people had a 50% better survival rate if they belonged to a wider social group, be it friends, neighbors, relatives or a mix of these.

　　The obvious effect of social connections on health has led researchers to call on health officials to take loneliness as seriously as other health risks, such as alcoholism(酗酒) and smoking.

　　“We take relationships for granted as humans,” said Julianne Holt-Lunstad, a psychologist at Brigham Young University in Utah. “ That continuous interaction(相互影响) is beneficial not only psychologically but physically.”

　　Holt-Lunstad’s team reviewed 148 studies that followed the social interactions and health of 308,849 people over an average of 7.5 years. From these they worked out how death rates differed depending on how sociable a person was.

　　Holt-Lunstad said friends and family can improve health in many ways, from help in tough times to finding meaning in life. “When someone is connected to a group and feels responsibility to other people, that sense of purpose and meaning changes into taking better care of themselves and taking fewer risks.”

　　Feel tired lately?Has a doctor said he can’t find anything wrong with you?Perhaps he sends you to a hospital,but all the advanced equipment there shows there is nothing wrong with you.

　　Then,consider this:you might be in a state of sub-health(亚健康).

　　Sub-health,also called the third state or gray state,is explained as borderline state between health and disease.

　　According to the investigation by the National Organization,over 45 percent of sub-health people are middle-aged or elderly.The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-week.

　　Symptoms(征兆)include a lack of energy,depression,slow reactions,insomnia(失眠),agitation, and poor memory.Other symptoms include shortness of breath,sweating and aching in the waist and legs.

　　The key to preventing and recovering from sub-health,according to some medical experts,is to form good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly,and take part in open air activities.

　　As for meals,people are advised to eat less salt and sugar.They should also eat more fresh vegetables,fruits,fish because they are rich in nutritional elements?vitamins and trace elements(微量元素)—that are important to the body.

　　Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract(消化道).They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding sub-health.

　　1.When you are in a state of sub-health,you should ________.

　　A .stay home and keep silent

　　B. go to a doctor and buy some medicine

　　C. not consider it very serious

　　D. find out the reasons and relax yourself

　　提示:从全文可以看出，亚健康是身体对压力、疲劳的一种反应，即使最先进的仪器也查不出病因。所以不必去医院，也不必吃药，但是不能听之任之，不认真对待。正确的方法是找出原因、减轻压力、消除疲劳、平衡膳食。

　　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。

　　Education isn’t all about classrooms. Homework plays a huge role in student learning. Given how much time we spend studying in a lifetime, and how hard it is to find time to study, techniques that make studying more efficient ─ that is, techniques that allow you to learn more in the same amount of time ─ can be incredibly valuable.

　　One of the most important study techniques that you don’t know about is this: Space your studying.

　　What does that mean? If you are going to study something twice (or more), try to let as much time pass as possible between the first and second time you study. For example, don’t read your textbook chapter and then review it on the same day. Study it and then review it on a different day, and allow as much time to pass between the two study sessions as possible. Better yet, spread your studying across numerous days. You don’t necessarily have to study more, you just have to distribute your study time differently. When you sit down to study, mix up your topics ─ instead of studying one topic per day, study every topic a little bit every day.

　　My research team had a combined 50 years experience studying the spacing effect. We should have known better, because our prediction couldn’t have been more wrong. Spacing helped enormously.

　　Spacing gives you time to forget. This forgetting is a good thing; forgetting is the friend of learning. But forgetting can make you feel like you are not learning. On the other hand, re-studying something right away makes it seem easy to remember. Unfortunately, this makes people feel that spacing hinders learning.

　　Your intuition (直觉) will tell you that spacing is a terrible idea. And your intuition will be wrong. Don’t trust it. Trust the scientific evidence.

　　1. The first paragraph mainly wants to tell us　.

　　A. education isn’t all about classrooms

　　B. homework plays a huge role in student learning

　　C. it’s hard to find time to study

　　D. learning techniques can be of great value

　　2. The technique “Space your studying” means　.

　　A. trying to studying something as many times as possible

　　B. allowing as much time to pass between the twice (or more) as you can

　　C. not doing the same thing on the same day

　　D. studying more and distributing your study time differently

　　3. The underlined word “enormously” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by　.

　　A. greatlyB. differentlyC. hopefully D. unforgettably

　　4. Why will your intuition tell you that spacing is a terrible idea?

　　A. Because spacing gives you time to forget.

　　B. Because forgetting is the friend of learning.

　　C. Because spacing can make you feel like you are not learning.

　　D. Because your intuition will be wrong.

　　【参考答案】1—4、DBAB

　　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 hard not to feel cheated and over-charged when you receive unexpected roaming (漫游) charges while traveling abroad—whether they come from making phone calls or checking e-mails.

　　Jeff Gardner received an $ 11,000 bill from Verizon after spending four days in Jamaica. Before the trip, Mr. Gardner, who runs a fly-fishing business in Grayling, Michigan, said he called Verizon to find out what it would cost to use his cellphone for calls and his wireless card to check e-mails while in Jamaica. He said he was told that calls would be about $ 2 a minute and that there would be no extra charges for data as he was on an unlimited plan. The latter part turned out to be wrong.

　　“I don’t mind paying a fair amount for fair service, but $11,000 for four days is ridiculous,” said Mr. Gardner, who used his phone carefully and economically on the trip. He also tried to check and send e-mails using his wireless card, but quickly gave up after the e-mails didn’t go through. Still, his Verizon bill said more than 500,000 kilobytes (千字节) of data was delivered while he was in Jamaica, an amount Mr. Gardner said is 100 times what he normally uses in a month.

　　As travelers increasingly use smart phones abroad in the same way they do at home—to check e-mails, update Facebook and Twitter and pull up online maps—many are facing costly roaming fees, which providers charge when customers use their phones outside their service area. In fact, roaming charges have gotten so out of hand that the Federal Communications Commission has proposed a plan that would require wireless companies to send their customers a voice or text message when they are approaching their plan’s limit, when they have reached that limit and when they are starting to result in roaming fees.

　　1. Why did Jeff Gardner call Verizon before his trip to Jamaica?

　　　A. To hand over his business.

　　B. To check his cellphone bill

　　　C. To find out information about Jamaica.

　　　D. To find out information about roaming charges.

　　2. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?

　　　A. Extra charges were made for Jeff Gardner’s data delivery.

　　　B. Jeff Gardner’s calls were charged over $2 per minute.

　　　C. Jeff Gardner’s plan turned out to be limited.

　　　D. Jeff Gardner had difficulty delivering data abroad.

　　. During the trip, Jeff Gardner______.

　　　A. was careless with phone use

　　B. delivered no more data than at home

　　　C. received quite poor e-mail services

　　　D. frequently used his wireless card to send e-mails

　　. What should wireless companies do according to the Federal Communications Commission?

　　　A. Make customers know when they’re outside their service area.

　　　B. Get customers informed when they’re near the limit of their plan.

　　　C. Stop serving customers when they’ve reached their plan’s limit.

　　　D. Limit some services to reduce the amount of roaming charges abroad.
