　　（2017高考训练）阅读理解

　　(选自2016·太原市第二学段测评)

　　Tina Rees, 50

　　English teacher (Canadian)

　　I wanted to be a doctor and help people. I was always playing doctor with dolls, wrapping their arms and legs in tissues! My mom was a nurse, and my two sisters are now nurses, but I went into finance. The educational requirements to be a doctor are too much for me now, but I feel I'm helping people and contributing to society as a teacher.

　　John Podeszwa, 45

　　English school owner (American)

　　I've always loved animals, and as a little boy I first wanted to be a frog, then a chimp. When told I had to be something human, I chose zookeeper.

　　I worked at a zoo in high school, but I wouldn't want to do that job now, although I am fulfilling my dream of helping rescued animals, since I own a honey bear, an albino snake (患白化病的蛇), a dog and some cats!

　　Miwa Gilligan, 48

　　Part­time worker (Japanese)

　　As a little girl I wanted to be many things, and when my grandmother suggested that as an actress I could play various roles, that stuck with me. The Takarazuka Revue (宝冢歌剧团) was popular during my childhood, so that also inspired me. Of course I would still like to become an actress.

　　Hiromitsu Tokunaga, 55

　　Sewage worker (Japanese)

　　My dream job both as a child and now is to be an astronaut. I grew up during the “Space Race” era and remember well the first moon landing, the famous sci­fi movie 2001, and all the rest. I still have a strong dream of going into space, and in my lifetime hope to see regular affordable space tours for people like me!

　　阅读理解Who Owns the Moon?

　　Within the next ten years, the U. S. , China, Israel, and a crowd of private companies plan to set up camp on the moon. So if and when they plant a flag, does that give them property(财产)rights?

　　A NASA working group hosted a discussion this week to ask: Who owns the moon? The answer, of course, is no use. The Outer Space Treaty, the international law signed by more than 100 countries, states that the moon and other celestial bodies(天体)are the province of all mankind. No doubt that would annoy all of the people throughout the ages, like monks from the Middle Ages, who have tried to claim the moon was theirs.

　　But ownership is different from property rights. People who rent apartments, for example, don’t own where they live, but they still hold rights. So with all of the upcoming missions(派遣团)to visit the moon and beyond, space industry thought leaders are seriously asking themselves how to deal with a potential land rush.

　　“This is a very relevant discussion right now. We’ve got this wave of new lunar missions from around the world, ”said William Marshall, a scientist in the small-spacecraft office at NASA, but who spoke this week at an event hosted by NASA’s Co Lab, a collaborative(协力完成的)public-private working group. He was speaking from his personal interest and not on behalf of the agency.

　　To be sure, the United States aims to send astronauts back to the moon by as early as 2015, in a mission that would include a long-term settlement. China and Israel, among others, are also working on lunar projects. And for the first time, several private groups are building spacecraft to land on the moon in an attempt to win millions of dollars in the Google Lunar X Prize. Some participants say that they plan to gain some property rights in the mission.

　　【文章大意】本文介绍了世界范围内的登陆月球热, 以及作者对这种现象的担忧。

　　1. In the passage the writer seems to be worrying that　.

　　A. the US will live on the moon forever

　　B. the moon will not be able to hold all mankind

　　C. the potential land rush will become more and more frequent

　　D. no one can answer the question“Who owns the moon? ”

　　【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第三段space industry thought leaders are seriously asking themselves how to deal with a potential land rush一句可知太空行业认为领导人们正严肃地问自己如何应对潜在的登陆热, 这也表达了作者的担心。

　　2. “The Google Lunar X Prize”aims to　.

　　A. encourage private groups to land on the moon

　　B. help NASA host a discussion about land rush on the moon

　　C. help some developing countries to complete their lunar projects

　　D. reward some countries or private groups which haven’t stepped on the moon

　　【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据最后一段several private groups are building spacecraft to land on the moon in an attempt to win millions of dollars in the Google Lunar X Prize一句可知Google Lunar X Prize用来鼓励私人团体登陆月球。

　　3. The underlined word“that”in the first paragraph refers to　.

　　A. the Outer Space Treaty

　　B. if and when they plant a flag

　　C. the NASA working group

　　D. monks from the Middle Ages

　　【解析】选B。词义猜测题。that代指前句中的if and when they plant a flag。本句意为: 如果当他们在月球上插上一面国旗时, 这会赋予他们领土所有权么?

　　4. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

　　A. The U. S. astronauts will live on the moon for a longer time.

　　B. Many countries and private groups plan to go to the moon.

　　C. Why some private groups wish to land on the moon.

　　D. It is easy to gain some property rights on the moon.

　　【解析】选B。主旨大意题。最后一段主要介绍了世界上一些国家及私人团体或个人正计划登陆月球。

　　(2015·江西重点中学盟校二次联考)Counterfeit medicines are a widespread problem in developing countries.Like other counterfeits，they look like real products.But counterfeit drugs may contain too much，too little or none of the active ingredients (有效成分) of the real thing.

　　People do not get the medicine they need.And in some cases

　　the

　　counterfeits

　　cause

　　death.Twenty

　　children

　　in Bangladesh died last year after being given acetaminophen (醋氨酚)．The medications contained ingredients that looked，smelled and tasted like the real thing.The medicine was produced by a local drug company that used a dangerous substitute to save money.

　　The problem of counterfeit medicines is especially serious in Africa，Asia and Latin America.The WHO estimates that up to thirty percent of medicines on sale in many of those countries are counterfeits.The problem is less widespread among industrialized countries.The WHO says counterfeits make up less than one percent of the illegal drug market in countries like the United States，Canada，Japan，and New Zealand.

　　But the agency also says as much as fifty percent of the medicine sold on the Internet is counterfeit.

　　Much is being done to fight counterfeit drugs.Several companies are developing ways to make counterfeits easier to identify (鉴定)．And there are existing methods，like a machine that can quickly identify chemicals in pills to confirm if the pills are real.Other ideas include things like special tracking(跟踪) codes for drug packages.People could send a text message with the code and get a message back，which proves that what they bought is listed in a database.Some drug makers and other companies put three­dimensional images called holograms(全息图)on their products as a security device.

　　【语篇解读】　这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了假药的有关情况。

　　1．The underlined word “counterfeits” means ________．

　　A．qualified products B．substandard medicines

　　2．Last year twenty children in Bangladesh died because of ________．

　　A．unclean water

　　B．acetaminophen

　　C．unreal drugs

　　D．online medicines

　　答案　C　[细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句话可知，那二十个孩子是因为服用了假药死去的。因此选C项。]

　　．We can draw a conclusion from the passage that ________．

　　A．we had better not buy medicines online

　　B．more and more people will buy products online

　　C．medicine companies don't pay much attention to counterfeit drugs

　　D．it is very cheap and convenient to buy medicines online

　　．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

　　A．It shows the danger of counterfeit drugs.

　　B．Special tracking codes for drug packages are used to identify counterfeits.

　　C．Some measures are being taken to fight counterfeit drugs.

　　D．It reveals the reasons why counterfeit drugs are widespread.

　　答案　C　[段落大意题。文章最后一段主要说明了人们采取了一些措施来与假药作斗C项。]阅读理解Wisdom teeth are normally the last teeth to appear.This usually happens when people are in their late teen years or early twenties，in other words，when they are older and wiser.

　　Wisdom teeth can grow into place normally and never cause a problem.But often there is not enough room for them in the mouth；they might crowd other teeth.Sometimes they even push sideways through the gums (齿龈)．

　　An impacted wisdom tooth is one that fails to completely rise through the gums.Wisdom teeth that only partly break through can leave space for bacteria to enter around the teeth.Infection (感染) is a risk in these cases.

　　Wisdom teeth that are not well lined and become impacted are often removed.The American Dental Association says removal is generally advised when wisdom teeth only partly break through the gums.Removal is also advised if there is a chance that wisdom teeth ate poorly lined.The best time to remove is before the teeth cause any problems or pain.Young adults are the best candidates for wisdom teeth removal.

　　But why do we have wisdom teeth if we often need to get them removed？One theory has to do with our diets.Scientists say the diet of ancient humans probably required more chewing teeth.Life was probably a little rougher on the teeth back then，too.So it was good to have extras.

　　【语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了智慧之牙——智齿。

　　A．Just older and wiser people can have wisdom teeth.

　　B．Wisdom teeth can cause problems if not in their right place.

　　C．Impacted wisdom teeth can’t grow out of the gum fully.
