　　重庆市2017高考英语阅读理解选编（33）（附解析）

　　2016高考训练（由2017·湖北卷D改编）

　　You’ve flown halfway around the world; you’ve sniffed out this place that nobody in Falongland or Thailand seems to have ever heard of; so what on earth is there to do here? You consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand.

　　It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee. By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out, it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland.

　　Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin, about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok, down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand. Not many tourists find this place, and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along.

　　There’s an apparent laziness that surrounds you here. It’s what this place offers, and it’s free of charge. The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down. You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest. You sit there and watch the sea.

　　It’s early afternoon, so the cook comes out and asks what you’d like to eat this evening. Before long he’s rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered—every meal fresh and to order. No menu here.

　　There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm, clear blue sea. There’s no street noise. The only sounds are the murmurs of nature.

　　For now you just count your blessings (福祉), listing them in the sand with your toe (脚趾). You don’t have to worry about being late for work. You don’t have to do anything.

　　The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon (地平线), slowly narrowing to nothingness only to re-emerge again on your left, now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you. Sand to your left and sand to your right; it’s unbroken, endless. No start, no end, just sand, sun, and peace. Step off it, and you re-enter the world of traffic, stress, work, and hurry.

　　Normally you’re the type who can’t sit still for more than ten minutes, but you’re on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and, in the right frame of mind, it stretches all the way around the world.

　　“How could it take me so long to find it?” you wonder.

　　1. When the author first went to Huaplee Beach, ______.

　　A. he found it unworthwhile

　　B. he failed to sort himself out

　　C. he became sensitive to smell

　　D. he had difficulty in finding it

　　2. What is special about the food service at Huaplee Beach?

　　A. No menu.

　　B. Free food.

　　C. Self service.

　　D. Quick delivery.

　　3. In the author’s opinion, a tourist can enjoy Huaplee Beach most when he ______.

　　A. sits in a beach chair

　　B. forgets his daily routine

　　C. plans a detailed schedule

　　D. draws pictures in the sand

　　4. What does the author imply by his question at the end of the passage?

　　A. He shouldn’t have counted his blessings.

　　B. He should have understood the wonder of nature.

　　C. He shouldn’t have spent so much time on the trip.

　　D. He should have come to the place earlier.

By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out, it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland.和Not many tourists find this place, and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along.可知从曼谷去那里要花很长的时间，而且很受有游客能够找到这个地方。作者第一次去也花了很长的时间。故D正确。

　　2. A。细节题。根据文章第五段It’s early afternoon, so the cook comes out and asks what you’d like to eat this evening. Before long he’s rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered—every meal fresh and to order. No menu here.可知在这里吃饭，是没有菜单的。都是量身定做的，故A正确。

　　3. B。推理题。根据文章倒数第二段Normally you’re the type who can’t sit still for more than ten minutes, but you’re on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and, in the right frame of mind, it stretches all the way around the world.可知如果你正常是一个很难停下来很忙碌的人，那么来到这里，你就应该忘记一切，享受大自然的美丽。故B正确。

　　4.D。推理题。根据文章最后一段之前的描述可知这里的风景迷人，饭菜可口，生活惬意。作者后悔很晚才发现有这样的地方。故D正确。

　　While moving is tough on kids of any age，high school counselor Karen Turner says moves can be particularly difficult for teens.“I think moving during adolescents is an extremely stressful experience，especially if you are into your junior high or senior year.Students tend to have established a very strong peer network during that period in their lives.Often this has more influence on them even than their families in some cases，and when they are torn from that there’s often resentment (怨气)．” However，Turner adds that while moving isn’t easy，there are things that your parents and the school can do to help you cope with the change.

　　答案：C阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。Bobby Moresco grew up in New York's Hell's Kitchen，a tough working－class neighborhood on Manhattan's West Side.But Hell's Kitchen lies right next door to Broadway，and the bright lights attracted Bobby from the time he was a teen.Being stage－stuck was hardly what a street kid could admit to his partners.Fearing their ridicule，he told no one，not even his girlfriend，when he started taking acting lessons at age 17.If you were a kid from the neighborhood，you became a cop，construction worker，longshoreman or criminal.Not an actor.

　　Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few blocks east.He studied acting，turned out for all the cattle calls(试戏通知)—and during the decade of the 1970s made a total of 2 000.“I wasn't a good actor，but I had a driving need to do something different with my life，” he says.

　　He moved to Hollywood，where he drove a cab and worked as a bartender(酒吧侍者)．His father said，“Stop this craziness and get a job; you have a wife and daughter.” But Moresco kept working at his chosen craft.

　　Then in 1983 his young brother Thomas was murdered in a mob－linked killing.Moresco moved back to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain and the patrimony of Hell's Kitchen.Half－Deserted Streets，based on his brother's killing，opened at a small Off－Broadway theatre in 1988.A Hollywood producer saw it and asked him to work on a screenplay.

　　His reputation grew，and he got enough assignment to move back to Hollywood.By 2003，he was again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis，a director who had befriended him，Haggis wanted help writing a film about the country after September 11.The two worked on the writing，but every studio in town turned it down.They kept pitching it.Studio executives，however，thought no one wanted to see a severe，honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision in modern America.

　　Moresco believed so strongly in the script that he borrowed money，sold his house.He and Haggis kept pushing.At last the writers found an independent film producer who would take a chance，but the upfront money was too little，Moresco delayed his salary.

　　Crash slipped into the theatres in May 2005，and quietly became both a hit and a critical success.It was nominated for six Academy Awards and won three—Best Picture，Best Film Editing and Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Paul Haggis and the kid from Hell's Kitchen.

　　At age 54，Bobby Moresco became an overnight success.“If you have something you want to do in life，don't think about the problems，” he says，“think about other ways to get it done.”

　　(2017·海口市调研，D)

　　Any diet on which you eat fewer calories than you need to get through the day, like an 800calorieperday diet, can be dangerous. Diets that don't allow any fat also can be bad for you. Everyone needs a certain amount of fat in their diet, up to 30% of total calories, so no one should eat a completely fatfree diet.

　　Don't have diets that restrict certain food groups, either. A diet that requires you to say no to bread or pasta or allows you to eat only fruit is unhealthy. You won't get the vitamins and minerals you need. And although you may lose weight, you'll probably gain it back as soon as you start eating normally again.

　　Some people start dieting because they think all the problems in their lives are because of weight. Others have an area of their lives that they can't control, like an alcoholic parent, so they focus on something they can control, their exercise and food intake (摄入)．

　　People who diet may get lots of praise from friends and family when they start losing pounds, which makes them feel good. But eventually a person reaches a weight level and doesn't lose as much weight as before because the body is trying to keep a healthy weight, so they aren't any happier.

　　Some people may find it hard to control their eating, so they stick with an_extreme_diet for a little while, but then eat tons of food. Feeling guilty about the binge, they use laxatives (泻药). Eating too little to maintain a healthy weight or eating only to throw up the calories are both eating disorders, which are harmful to a person's health.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。文章告诫减肥人群，在减肥的同时务必要保证健康和均衡的饮食，这样才能获得真正的健康。

　　1．The reasons why some people start and keep dieting DON'T include ________.

　　A．they think their trouble comes from their weight

　　B．they have a strict parent

　　C．other people's praise when they lose some weight

　　D．there is something they can't control except food intake

　　答案：B　细节理解题。根据第三、四段内容可知，A、C、D三项均是人们减肥的原因。B项内容文章没有涉及。故答案选B。

　　2．The underlined phrase in the last paragraph refers to ________.

　　A．a fat free diet

　　B．a special diet

　　C．eating too much

　　D．eating too little

　　答案：D　指代判断题。根据画线短语后“but then eat tons of food”中的“but”可推知，画线部分与其讲述的内容相反，因此“an extreme diet”指的就是“吃得太少”。故答案选D。

　　3．Which of the following statements is TRUE?

　　A．A person needs about 800 calories each day.

　　B．A person who doesn't eat bread is unhealthy.

　　C．An improper diet may cause eating disorder.

　　D．Fat takes up the most part of calories inside body.

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据第一段第一句中的“like an 800calorieperday diet, can be dangerous”可知，A项表述错误；根据第二段第二句可知，不包括面包的饮食不健康，但并没说不吃面包的人不健康，故B项表述错误；根据第一段最后一句可知，D项表述错误。故答案选C。

　　4．According to the passage, when people want to lose weight, they should

　　________.

　　A．avoid eating some food that can lead to being fat

　　B．control their eating amount and times

　　C．have a healthy and balanced diet

　　D．throw up some of what they eat

　　答案：C　推理判断题。通读全文特别是文章首段内容可知，人们在减肥的同时，还应保证健康和均衡的饮食。故答案选C。
