　　广西来宾市2017高考英语一轮阅读理解专练（18）含答案

　　阅读理解。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。

　　Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance.It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected.When alcohol is consumed，it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depresant (抑制药)，damaging eyesight，judgement and co­ordination (协调)，slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents.Even below the drink driving limit，driving will be affected.

　　Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain.Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice.To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.

　　The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is：

　　●50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood；or

　　●22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath；or

　　●67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of uriue (尿液)．

　　Drivers who cause traffic accidents，or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.

　　Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged.The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving­offence points；or temporarily banned from driving.

　　The same punishment applies to failing to provide speeimens(样本) for breath，blood or urine tests without good excuse.

　　Drink driving is a criminal offence.Be a responsible driver，think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users，never drive after consuming alcohol.

　　本文主要讲述酒后驾车的危害，对酒驾的惩罚等，呼吁人们为了自身和他人的健康，一定不要酒后驾车。

　　1．The first paragraph is mainly about______.

　　A．the introductions of driving skills B．the damage of drinking to your body

　　C．the effect of drinking on drivingD．the process of alcohol being absorbed

　　答案：C。主旨大意题。由第一段的“it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant，damaging eyesight，judgement and co­ordination，slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents.”可知，本段主要讲述酒后驾车的影响，故C项正确。

　　2．The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “______”．

　　A．alcohol

　　B．absorption

　　C．blood

　　D．process

　　答案：D。词义猜测题。由前半句“To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process”，可知，后半句表示“采取像淋浴或者是喝杯茶，咖啡等的措施来加速这个过程是不可能的”故it指代process，D项正确。

　　3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A．Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.

　　B．Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.

　　C．Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.

　　D．50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink driving limit.

　　答案：B。细节理解题。由第二段中“Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice”可知B项正确。

　　4．A driver suspected of drink driving______.

　　A．should provide specimens for testing

　　B．will be forbidden to drive for 3 years

　　C．will be punished for 10 driving­offence points

　　D．should pay a maximum fine of HK$25,000

　　阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。体裁：记叙文　话题：个人情感　词数：721　时间：8′

　　I was no different from any other mother.

　　When my little boy, Skyler, was born, I longed for the day he would talk to me.My husband and I dreamed about the first sweet“Mama”or“Dada”．Every cry or coo was a small glimpse into my son's mind.

　　My baby's noises were even more precious to me because Skyler had been born with several health problems.At first, the problems had delayed his development, but once they were safely behind us, I looked forward to my son's first words.They didn't come.

　　At age three，Skyler was diagnosed as autistic(自闭症的)，a developmental disability destined to affect his social and emotional well­being throughout his entire life.Skyler couldn't talk—wouldn't talk.I would probably never hear any words from him at all.In a store, I would hear a child calling “Mommy”， and I would wonder if that was what my little boy might sound like.I wondered how it would feel to hear my child call out for me.

　　But I could have learned to live with his silence if it weren't for another hallmark characteristic of autism：Skyler formed no attachments.He didn't want to be held, much preferring to lie in his bed or sit in his car seat.He wouldn't look at me; sometimes, he even looked through me.

　　Once, when I took him to the doctor, we talked to a specialist who was of my size, age and who had the same hair color as me.When it was time to go, Skyler went to her instead of me—he couldn't tell us apart.When Skyler was three, he spent three days at Camp Courageous for disabled children in Iowa, and when he returned he didn't even recognize me.

　　The pain was almost unbearable.My own son didn't even know I was his mother.

　　I hid the pain, and we did the best we could for Skyler.We enrolled him in our local area educational agency preschool, where the teachers and speech pathologist worked hard to help Skyler connect with the world around him.They used pictures and computer voice­machines that spoke for him, and sign language.These devices gave me little glimpses of who Skyler was, even if he didn't understand who I was.“He will talk，” the speech pathologist insisted, but inside,_ I had given up hope.

　　The one dream I couldn't let go was to have Skyler understand that I was his mom.Even if I never heard him say “Mom”， I wanted to see the recognition in his eyes.

　　The summer of Skyler's fourth year was when it started.A smoldering (郁积的) ember of understanding in him sparked, and fanned by our efforts, steadily flamed.His first words were hardly recognizable, often out of context, never spontaneous.Then, slowly, he could point to an item and say a word.Then two words together as a request.Then spontaneous words.Each day, he added more and more recognizable words, using them to identify pictures and ask questions.We could see his understanding increase, till his eyes would seek out mine, wanting to comprehend.

　　“You Mom？” he said one day.

　　“Yes, Skyler, I'm Mom.”

　　He asked his teachers and caregivers, “You Mom？”

　　“No, Skyler, not Mom.”

　　“You my Mom？” he said back to me.

　　“Yes, Skyler, I'm your Mom.”

　　And finally, a rush of understanding in his eyes, “You my Mom.”

　　“Yes, Skyler, I'm your Mom.”

　　If those had been Skyler's only words ever, they would have been enough for me：My son knew I was his mother.

　　But Skyler wasn't done.

　　One evening I leaned against the headboard on Skyler's bed, my arms wrapped around him.He was cozily tucked between my legs, our bodies warm and snug as I read to him from one of his favorite books—a typical affectionate(深情的) scene between mother and son, but because of Skyler's autism, one that I could never take for granted.

　　I stopped reading.Skyler had interrupted me, leaning back his head so he could look me in the eyes.

　　“Yes, Skyler？”

　　And then the voice of an angel, the voice of my son, “I love you, Mom.”

By the middle of the 21st century, if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars, for example. Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on the earth will make it necessary for us to look for open space somewhere else. But none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. One possible solution to the problem, however, has recently been suggested by American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan.

　　Sagan believes that before the earth's resources are completely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus and so create a new world almost as large as the earth itself. The difficult is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there.

　　Sagan proposes that algae organisms(海藻有机体) that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen, should be bred in condition similar to those on Venus. As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets. Spaceship will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere .In a fairly short time, the algae will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.

　　When the algae have done their work, the atmosphere will become cooler, but before man can set foot on Venus it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on it but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproduced on Venus.

　　1.In the long run, the most difficult problem caused by population growth on the earth will probably be the lack of ______.

　　A. oil

　　B. food

　　C. resources

　　D. space　

　　.Carl Sagan believes that Venus might be a living place because _____

　　A. the days on Venus are long enough

　　B. it might be possible to change its atmosphere

　　C. there is a good supply of water on Venus

　　D. its atmosphere is the same as the earth's

　　3.Algae are plants that can____.

　　A. live in very hot temperature

　　　 B. live in very cold temperature

　　C. produce oxygen

　　D. all of the above

　　4. Man can land on Venus only when_______.

　　A. it rains there

　　B. there is oxygen

　　C. the atmosphere becomes cooler

　　D. the algae have done their work
