　　2016年陕西汉中市高考英语二轮阅读理解选练（11）（含答案）

　　阅读理解To hitch-hike successfully in any country you must be able to do two things: attract attention and at the same time convince the driver at a glance that you do not intend to rob or murder him. To fulfill the first requirement you must have some mark to distinguish you at once from all other hikers. A serviceman, for instance, should wear his uniform, and a student his red scarf. In a foreign country an unmistakable indication of your own nationality will also arrest a driver’s attention.

　　When I hitch-hiked 9, 500 miles across the United States and back recently I wore a well-tailored suit, a bowler hat and a trench coat, and carried a pencil-thin rolled black umbrella. My suitcase was decorated with British flags. Having plenty of luggage, moreover, I was not likely to be suspected of being a dangerous lunatic(精神病患者). I then had to get across to the driver the idea that I was a real traveler, and needed to get somewhere cheaply.

　　But even with careful preparation, you must not assume that the task will be easy. You should be prepared to wait a little, for there are drivers who confess to a fierce prejudice against, (not to say hatred of)hitch-hikers, and would no more pick up a hiker than march from Aldermaston to London. In America, my average wait is half an hour, and my longest is two hours, but I have heard of people waiting all day: they probably took less pains to make themselves easy to notice.

　　Nor must you assume that all the drivers who stop for you are nice, normal people. On one occasion I found myself driving with two boys of about nineteen who turned out to be on the run from the police, and were hoping to use me as an alibi. There are also lesser(较小的)risks: you may find yourself in the car of a Fascist fanatic, a Mormon missionary(传教士), or just a bad driver. You cannot tell, of course until you are in the car. But you soon learn the art of the quick excuse that gets you out again.

　　If the hitch-hiker in the US remembers that he is seeking the willingness of drivers to give him a free ride, and is prepared to give in exchange entertainment and company, and not go to sleep, he will come across the remarkable, almost legendary, hospitality of American of the West. It will also help if he can drive—I think that I drove myself about 4, 500 of those 9, 500 miles I hitch-hiked in the States.

　　【2016高考训练】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。The Doll and the White Rose

　　I was walking around in a mall, when I saw a cashier hand this little boy some money back. The cashier said, "I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll"．The little boy seemed very disappointed．

　　I walked toward him and asked him who he wished to give this doll to．"It's the doll that my sister wanted so much for Christmas．She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her: But Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now．I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there．"His eyes were so sad．"My sister has gone to be with God．Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister．"

　　My heart nearly stopped．The little boy looked up at me and continued, "I told Daddy to tell Mommy not to go yet．I need her to wait until I come back from the mall．"

　　I quickly reached for my wallet and said," Suppose we check again,

　　just in case you do have enough money for the doll."

　　"OK,

　　I hope I do have enough," he said．I put some of my money with his without him seeing and we started to count it．There was enough for the doll and even some spare money．

　　Surprisingly, the little boy cried, "Thank you God for giving me enough money!" Then he looked at me and added, "I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that Mommy could give it to my sister. He heard me! I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much．But he gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose ! "

　　Then I remembered two days before a local newspaper reported an accident in which a woman and a little girl were badly injured．The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state．Was this the family of the little boy?

　　Two days after I met the little boy,

　　I read in the newspaper that the woman had passed away. I couldn't stop myself from going to the funeral．Teary-eyed,

　　I felt that my life had been changed forever．

　　参考答案1—3、DCA

　　阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

　　“Children should not be left unsupervised(无人监督的)to play with a dog. ”say experts in this week’s British Medical Journal. Their advice is part of a review aimed at doctors who deal with dog bites.

　　“Dog bites and maulings are a worldwide problem, particularly in children. ”write Marina Morgan and John Palmer. Every year 250, 000 people who have been bitten by dogs attend minor injuries and emergency units in the United Kingdom, and half of all children are reportedly bitten by dogs at some time, boys more than girls.

　　Accurate death figures are difficult to obtain, but in the past five years, two to three cases a year have made news headlines.

　　Based on the latest medical evidence, they advise doctors how to examine and treat a patient presenting with a dog bite. They discuss the risk of infection and when to refer to specialist care. For travelers bitten abroad, they suggest assessing the risk of rabies(狂犬病).

　　In terms of prevention, they suggest that children should be taught to treat dogs with respect, avoid direct eye contact, and not tease them. They should be taught not to approach an unfamiliar dog; play with any dog unless under close supervision; run or scream in the presence of a dog; pet a dog without first letting it sniff you; or disturb a dog that is eating, sleeping, or caring for puppies.

　　“Dog owners also need to change their behavior”, says Rachel Besser, a children’s doctor and lifetime dog owner, in an article.

　　“It is clear that not all dog owners appreciate that children should not be left unsupervised with a dog”, she says. Just as some parents are obliged to take parenting classes, she would like to see compulsive classes for expectant dog owners to teach them about the responsibilities of dog ownership. Educational programs are also needed to teach children about some precautionary behaviors around dogs.

　　Finally, she would like to see vets advising dog owners about bite prevention, and doctors promoting bite prevention when treating patients who have been bitten by dogs.

　　【文章大意】狗咬人, 尤其是狗咬小孩的现象尤其需要引起关注, 为此, 需要采取一定的措施。

　　1. Dog biting studied by the experts is a problem　.

　　A. doctors dealing with dog bites should pay attention to

　　B. happening only to a few children of the world

　　C. only boys may meet with

　　D. about which experts get accurate statistics from the news headlines

　　【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第一段“Their advice is part of a review aimed at doctors who deal with dog bites. ”可知, 专家所研究的狗咬人的问题也应该是相关医生应给予重视的问题, 故答案选A项。

　　. The underlined word“they”in Paragraph 4 refers to“　”.

　　A. doctors B. parents

　　C. experts

　　D. dog owners

　　【解析】选C。词义猜测题。根据“Based on the latest medical evidence”再结合第一段专家的讲话可推断, 他们是指研究狗咬人这一问题的专家们, 故选C项。

　　. What are Rachel Besser’s words mainly about?

　　A. All the dog owners would like children not to be left unsupervised with a dog.

　　B. All the dog owners have a correct behavior toward dogs.

　　C. Not all dog owners appreciate that children should be left with dogs under supervision.

　　D. Not all dog owners should attend classes about the responsibilities of dog ownership.

　　【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第七段“It is clear that not all dog owners appreciate that children should not be left unsupervised with a dog”可知, 雷切尔医生认为, 并非所有的狗的主人都认为孩子们和狗在一起的时候要有大人的照看。由此判断选C项。

　　4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

　　A. Dogs, Dangerous To Children

　　B. Children Should Know Behaviors Around Dogs

　　C. Doctors, Treat Dog Bites Correctly

　　D. Never Leave Children Unsupervised With Dogs

　　【解析】选D。主旨大意题。狗咬人, 尤其是狗咬小孩的现象比较严重, 那么如何避免狗咬小孩呢? 这才是本文的写作重点, 而只有D项更能说明此问题, 故正确答案选D项。
