　　阅读理解2017·山东省潍坊市高考模拟考试Success is often measured by the ability to overcome

　　adversity.But，it is often the belief of others that gives us the

　　courage to try.

　　J．K.Rowling，author of the Harry Potter book series，began writing at the age of 6.In her biography，she remembers

　　with great fondness when her good friend Sean，whom she met

　　in secondary school，became the first person to encourage her

　　and help build the confidence that one day she would be a very good writer.

　　“He was the first person with whom I really discussed my

　　serious ambition to be a writer.He was also the only person

　　who thought I was bound to be a success at it，which meant

　　much more to me than I ever told him at the time.”

　　Despite

　　many

　　setbacks，Rowling

　　persevered

　　in

　　her writing，particularly fantasy stories.But it wasn’t until 1990 that she first conceived the idea about Harry Potter.As she recalls，it was on a long train journey from London to Manchester that the idea of Harry Potter simply fell into her head.“To my immense frustration (沮丧)，I didn’t have a functioning pen with me，and I was too shy to ask anybody if I could borrow one.I think，now，that this was probably a good thing，because I simply sat and thought，for four (delayed train) hours，and all the details bubbled up in my brain，and this scrawny，black­haired，bespectacled (戴眼镜的) boy who didn’t know he was a wizard became more and more real to me.”

　　That same year，her mother passed away after a ten­year battle with

　　multiple

　　sclerosis，which

　　deeply

　　affected

　　her writing.She went on to marry and had a daughter，but separated from her husband shortly afterwards.

　　During this time，Rowling was diagnosed with clinical depression.Unemployed，she completed her first novel in area cafes，where she could get her daughter to fall asleep.After being rejected by 12 publishing houses，the first Harry Potter novel was sold to a small British publishing house.

　　（2016高考训练）阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。If you've seen Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs，you've probably sung along to the dwarfs' classic happy song，“Heigh Ho.” In the summer of 2017，the dwarfs have a new song—and look—in Disney XD's animated series (动画系列)，The 7D.The new TV show features a pleasant theme song written and performed by Parry Gripp.

　　Gripp's theme introduces the 7D—Happy，Doc，Grumpy，Sneezy，Bashful，Dopey，and Sleepy —to the audience at the start of each half－hour show.“The theme song is in kind of a punk (朋克) rock style，”Gripp said.“It's pretty fast and has guitars and the tone of my voice is a bit nasal (鼻音) and aggressive.But the music in the show really changes.”

　　The 7D follows Happy，Doc，Grumpy，Sneezy，Bashful，Dopey，and Sleepy on their adventures working in a jewel mine in the town of Jollywood，before they met Snow White.Jollywood is ruled by Queen Delightful，a kind queen who calls on the 7D for any problem.

　　Problems frequently arise as a pair of bad couple Hildy and Grim Gloom plan to take over the throne (王座)or take magical jewels away.“Grim and Hildy want to be constant thorns in the side (眼中钉) of the 7D and the Queen，” the producer Tom Ruegger said.“Having Kelly Osbourne join the cast

　　has been a real bonus(意外收获) and the audience praised his performances highly.I didn't expect that.”

　　Ruegger，who

　　previously worked

　　on

　　hit animated

　　shows

　　Animaniacs

　　and

　　Tiny

　　Toon Adventures，has been developing The

　　7D since 2011.“It's old－school in that you have the same names as in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs，” Ruegger said.“But there is a lot of innovation to it：new designs，very new colorful characters，brand new voices and settings.”

　　Many of Gripp's songs are performed by Happy.“I think Happy is sort of the heart and soul of The 7D，”says Ruegger.“He's so positive and his singing and the songs that he delivers add a lot of energy to the show.”Fittingly，Gripp says Happy is the 7D member he relates to most.“But my favorite character is Grumpy because he is so funny.”

　　(2017·福建省毕业班质检，B)

　　The “Give It Up for Earth Day” encourages people to commit to giving up actions that are harmful to the environment, such as using poisonous cleaners.

　　Throughout the month of April, Canadians are being asked to “Give It Up for Earth Day！” Earth Day has been celebrated every year on April 22 since 1970. Earth Day Canada president Jed Goldberg says that as people become more environmentally aware, they want to find ways to reduce their environmental influence, not just celebrate one special event.

　　“Earth Day is a great launching_pad for thinking about environmental action

　　every day，” said Goldberg. “Choosing healthier options, even for the short term,

　　can lead to thinking about the influence of our decisions for a lifetime.”

　　That's the reason behind the “Give It Up for Earth Day” campaign.

　　It's designed to encourage healthy habits that benefit people and the planet. It challenges everyone to help create a healthier world by making changes in their daily routine.

　　“We wanted to plan an actiontargeted campaign that will give people a chance to act on their concern for the environment in a positive way，” said Goldberg.

　　The campaign has identified four daily actions that can add up to huge environmental savings. They include pledging (保证) to turn off the TV, give up the use of poisonous cleaners, reduce consumption of consumer products and cut out meat.

　　At the end of April, all of the pledges will be recorded and converted (转化) into the number of TV hours not watched, dollars not spent on unnecessary items, electricity saved, greenhouse gas emissions (排放) avoided by cutting out meat, and poisonous chemicals produced from homes and landfills.

　　“What we're trying to achieve this year for Earth Day is to give people a chance to do something that is meaningful and measurable，” said Goldberg.

　　文章大意：4月22日是世界地球日，活动“Give It Up for Earth Day”倡导人们在地球日这一天为保护环境做一些有意义、行之有效的事情。

　　1．The aim of the campaign mentioned in the passage is to ________.

　　A．enable people to save more money for future use

　　B．help people develop environmentally friendly habits

　　C．prevent people from making changes in their daily routine

　　D．warn people against reducing consumption of consumer products

　　答案：B　细节理解题。根据文章第四段第二句“It's designed to encourage healthy habits that benefit people and the planet.”可知，答案B符合文义。

　　2．The underlined word “launching pad” (in Paragraph 3) probably means “________”．

　　A．starting point

　　B．finishing line

　　C．exchanging stage

　　D．reforming stage

　　答案：A　词义猜测题。画线词所在句意为：地球日是一个引发人们开始对人类日常活动对环境所造成的影响进行思考的起点，由此结合上文“... they want to find ways to reduce their environmental influence, not just celebrate one special event.”和下文中“can lead to thinking about...”可推知，答案A符合文义。finishing line终点线；exchanging stage交流平台；reforming stage改革舞台，均不符合文义，故排除。

　　3．We can conclude from the passage that ________.

　　A．Earth Day was first celebrated over half a century ago

　　B．short term decisions will by no means influence our lives

　　C．Earth Day Canada is actually an everyday environmental action

　　D．daily actions must be measured to benefit the environment

　　答案：D　推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二、三段的整体理解并结合文章最后一句中的“meaningful and measurable”可以推知，我们应该以对环境的影响好坏为标准来判断日常行为是否可行。由此可知，答案D符合文义。

　　4．Which disagrees with the spirit of “Give It Up for Earth Day”？

　　A．Switching off TV.

　　B．Riding bikes.

　　C．Using poisonous cleaners.

　　D．Saving electricity.

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段的第二句“They include pledging (保证) to turn off the TV, give up the use of poisonous cleaners...”可知，答案C符合文义。
