重庆市2017高考英语阅读理解选编(86)(附解析)
【2016高考训练】
Egypt may be walking towards a much-needed IMF loan, but that hasn’t put off some foreign partners. GB Auto, the Cairo-listed auto assembler(汽车组装公司), will begin putting together and selling cars from China’s Geely in the second quarter of 2017.
GB will assemble the cars from kits(配件) supplied by Geely (the Hangzhou-based carmaker that bought Volvo in a $1.5bn deal in 2010), and will sell the finished product in markets across North Africa, beginning with Egypt. The deal is ?one of several partnerships we will announce this year,” said GB’s chairman, Raouf Ghabbour, in a statement.
GB controls 32 per cent of the Egyptian selling car market, where it rose to success as the largest local assembler, importer and seller of cars from South Korea’s Hyundai. It is now the the Middle East’s largest car assembler. High tax on fully-assembled imported cars have encouraged a number of international auto brands, including BMW and China’s Geely, to have their vehicles put together in Egypt.
For Geely, the Egyptian deal is another step in efforts to push its products out across the world, after announcing last year that it would set up a production hub(轮轴)in Indonesia to target the fast-growing Southeast Asian market. The company plans on selling at least one model in the UK by the end of 2017.
While 2011 was a tough year for car sales (and pretty much everything else) in Egypt, the vehicle market is still a good prospect as a large and increasingly young population fuel long-term economic growth. GB says there are about 30 cars per 1,000 people in Egypt, compared to 128 in China and 109 in Morocco.
GB says the tuk-tuk?s popularity in Egypt?s rural inland and informal urban slums(贫民窟)made it less influenced by a slowdown in the passenger car industry.
And if long-discussed reforms of Egypt lead to higher fuel prices, expect tuk-tuks, powered by something barely larger than a lawnmower (割草机)engine, to become increasingly attractive for urban transport.
1.What is the general idea of the pasasage?
A. China’s Geely is entering Egypt.
B. For Geely, the Egyptian deal is another step.
C. GB covers much of Egyptian car selling.
D. GB will assemble the cars from kits.
2.Which country’s seller of cars is GB?
A. China.
B. Korea.
C. Japan.
D. Egypt
3. Why do China’s Geely put their kits of cars together in a foreign country?
A.A number of international auto brands.
B. Several partners’ help.
C. Egypt ‘s need of IMF loan.
D. Too much tax.
4.The reason why they mention the figure about China and Morocco’s cars is______.
A. To learn from them easily.
B. To show China and Morocco’s strength.
C. To show GB has a good future.
D. To beat China and Morocco in selling.
5. The tuk-tuk’s advantage is______.
A. That its kits came from China.
B. That its engine is smaller than others.
C. GB assemble them carefully.
D. It is sold in Egypt’s rural inland.

In the quest for better health, many people turn to doctors, self-help books or herbal supplements. But they overlook a powerful weapon that could help them fight illness and depression, speed recovery, slow aging and prolong life: their friends.
Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship and social networks in overall health. A 10-year Australian study found that older people with a large circle of friends were 22 percent less likely to die during the study period than those with fewer friends. A large 2007 study showed an increase of nearly 60 percent in the risk for obesity among people whose friends gained weight. And last year, Harvard researchers reported that strong social ties could promote brain health as we age.
“In general, the role of friendship in our lives isn’t well appreciated, ”said Rebecca G. Adams, a professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro. “There are a lot of things on families and marriage, but very little on friendship. It baffles me. Friendship has a bigger impact on our psychological well-being than family relationships. ”
Bella DePaulo, a visiting psychology professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, whose work focuses on single people and friendships, notes that in many studies, friendship has an even greater effect on health than a spouse or a family member.
It isn’t entirely clear why friendship has such a big effect. It may be because people with strong social ties also have better access to health services and care. Beyond that, however, friendship clearly has a profound psychological effect. People with strong friendships are less likely than others to get colds, perhaps because they have lower stress levels.
Last year, researchers studied 34 students at the University of Virginia, taking them to the base of a steep hill and fitting them with a weighted backpack. They were then asked to estimate the steepness of the hill. Some participants stood next to friends during the exercise, while others were alone.
The students who stood with friends gave lower estimates of the steepness of the hill. And the longer the friends had known each other, the less steep the hill appeared.
“People with stronger friendship networks feel like there is someone they can turn to, ”said Karen A. Roberto, director of the center for gerontology(老年医学)at Virginia Tech. “Friendship is an undervalued resource. The consistent message of these studies is that friends make your life better. ”

Arthur
Miller(19152005)is universally
recognized
as one of the greatest dramatists
of the 20th
century. Miller's father
had
moved to the USA from AustriaHungary, drawn like so many others by the“Great American
Dream”. However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the
early 1930s.
Miller's most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system, with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with this system.
Willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment: if he can't do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.
When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews,and it won the Tony Award for Best Play,the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.
Miller died
of heart failure at his home in Roxbury,Connecticut, on the evening of February 10, 2005, the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.
