　　2016年湖北武汉市高考英语阅读理解二轮基础训练（49）（含答案）

　　阅读理解—词义猜测题、观点态度题。

　　(2015年吉林省实验中学月考)

　　In summer, some people avoid outdoor activities because they don't want to get hot and sticky or sun burnt. Luckily, there are some outdoor activities which don't involve breaking sweat.

　　River rafting

　　Hot summer weather and cool water-what a perfect match! River rafting can be both scenic and exciting. When the raft follows a gentle stream, the views of the countryside or valley is like a traditional Chinese painting. And when you enter white water where the riverbed creates a natural roller coaster, you feel a rush of adrenaline(肾上腺素). Paddle your raft to the riverbank to have a picnic or barbecue which will taste best when you are starving.

　　Where to find: River rafting trips are usually on offer in mountainous or valley regions such as the Three Gorges.

　　Tips: Wear a helmet and life jacket at all times; bring enough sunscreen; and bring lots of water.

　　Caving

　　People say that the only naturally air-conditioned place in summer is a big cave. It is true. Cave tours featuring light shows are old hat. Now it's time to wear a lamp no your helmet like a mineworker to explore caves in darkness. Exploring unknown caverns and navigating underground rivers is what makes caving so thrilling. Plus, caving can be a very healthy sport, for the oxygen level is usually higher so basically you are having an oxygen spa as the bonus.

　　Where to find: Caving can be very risky, so consult local travel agents and go in groups with professional cavers.

　　Tips: Follow your guides; drink enough water to avoid dehydration(脱水)；and wear strong and not easily damaged hiking boots.

　　Coastal walking/cycling and beach activities

　　For those who live far away from mountains, coastal regions and beaches are good places to spend time in the summer. With sea breezes in your hair, it is nice to take a hike or cycle ride while enjoying the coastline. If you want to be sportier, try beach games, such as soccer and volleyball. It's a totally different experience from playing on hard courts or grass.

　　Where to find: Just go to the beach or find an urban artificial beach such as the one in Chatoyant Park in Beijing or the man-made lake beach in Wuhan

　　Tips: Loads of sunscreen needed; water and snacks are necessary; be aware of jellyfish and garbage floating in the water.

　　What does the underlined words “old hat” in Paragraph 5 mean?

　　A．Out of fashion.

　　B. Out of the way.

　　C. A particular fashion.

　　D. A unique style

　　2.

　　If you love river rafting trips, you can

　　.

　　A. go to the beach

　　B. explore caves

　　C. do some outdoor activities

　　D. drift the boat downstream

　　3. What is specially needed to explore caves?

　　A. An oxygen spa.

　　C. A lamp.

　　D. A helmet

　　4. Helen lives in a big city, where is the best place for her to spend weekends?

　　语篇解读

　　夏天时，一些人总是对户外运动唯恐避之不及，因为不想变得又热又黏。幸运的是，有些户外运动完全没有那样的问题， 例如漂流、 洞穴探险和沙滩运动等。

　　A 词义猜测题。根据上下文可知，old hat 修饰 cave tours featuring light shows,而后文说现在可以像矿工一样，在安全帽上加上一盏探照灯探索未知洞穴。比较四个选项可知old hat 在此处的意思为“过时的”。

　　D细节理解题。根据小标题River rafting 及它下面的段落可知，如果你喜欢漂流，可以去划着皮筏子沿河而下。

　　B 细节理解题。根据小标题Caving 及它下的段落Caving van be very risky, so consult local travel agents and go in groups 所以要咨询当地的旅行社并与专业洞穴探险者一同前往。故专业的洞穴探险者很重要。

　　C 推理判断题。根据文介绍的三种运动可知，漂流需要去河流边，洞穴探险需要去洞穴里，而沙滩运动也可以去城市中找到一处人造海滩进行。

　　阅读理解。

　　Friends play an important part in our lives，and although we may take the friendship for granted，we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends.While we get on well with a

　　number of people，we are usually friends with only a few.For example，the average among students is about 6 per person.In all the cases of friendly relationships，two people like one another and enjoy being together，but beyond that，the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their shared interests vary greatly.As we get to know people，we take into account things like age，race，economic conditions，social position，and intelligence.Although these factors are not of great importance，it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.

　　Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion，but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs，the same opinions and interests.They often talk about “being_on_the_same_wavelength”.It generally takes time to reach this point.And the more intimately involved people become，the more they depend on one another.People who want to be friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to stand differences.

　　In contrast with marriage，there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen it between two people.But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and feelings does seem to create a powerful bond，which can overcome differences in background，and break down barriers of age，class or race.

　　1.According to the passage，________.

　　怎样才能消除这两个国家人民之间的恐惧和仇恨呢？1.B　2.A　3.D　4.B　Although April did not bring us the rains we all hoped for, and although the Central Valley doesn’t generally experience the sound and lightning that can go with those rains, it’s still important for parents to be able to answer the youthful questions about thunder and lightning.

　　The reason these two wonders of nature are so difficult for many adults to explain to children is that they are not very well understood by adults themselves. For example, did you know that the lightning we see flashing down to the earth from a cloud is actually flashing up to a cloud from the earth? Our eyes trick us into thinking we see a downward motion when it’s actually the other way around. But then, if we believed only what we think and we see, we’d still insist that the sun rises in the morning and sets at night.

　　Most lightning flashes take place inside a cloud, and only a relative few can be seen jumping between two clouds or between earth and a cloud. But, with about 2,000 thunderstorms taking place above the earth every minute of the day and night, there’s enough activity to produce about 100 lightning strikes on earth every second.

　　Parents can use thunder and lightning to help their children learn more about the world around them. When children understand that the light of the lightning flashing reaches their eyes almost at the same moment, but the sound of the thunder takes about 5 seconds to travel just one mile, they can begin to time the interval (间隔) between the flash and the crash to learn how close they were to the actual spark (闪光).

　　1. According to the author, in the area of the Central Valley____.

　　A. rains usually come without thunder and lightning.

　　B. it is usually dry in April

　　C. children pay no attention to the two natural wonders.

　　D. parents are not interested in thunder an lightning.

　　2. We believe that lightning is a downward motion because_______.

　　A. we were taught so by our parents from our childhood.

　　B. we are taken in by our sense of vision.

　　C. it is a common natural sight.

　　D. it is a truth proved by science.

　　3. What is TRUE about lightning according to the passage?

　　A. Only a small number of lightning flashes occur on earth.

　　B. Lightning flashes usually jump from one cloud to another.

　　C. Lightning travels 5 times faster than thunder.

　　D. There are far more lightning strikes occurring on earth than we can imagine.

　　4. The underlined word “activity”

　　is most closely related to the word (s) _____.

　　A. cloud

　　B. lightning strikes

　　C. lightning flashes

　　D. thunderstorms

　　5. It can be concluded from the passage that _______.

　　A. we should not believe what we see or hear.

　　B. things moving downward are more noticeable.

　　C. people sometimes may have wrong ideas about ordinary phenomena.

　　D. adults are not as good as children in observing certain natural phenomena.

　　2016高考训练题。阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。When my mother was alive, she used to tell me again and again about the value of just being nice. “Never underestimate（低估）the power of a smile,” she would say. I fear she would be very disappointed looking at the world today. A lot of people don’t smile and when it comes to service today, they’re just not nice. Now don’t give me wrong, not all service workers but a good many.

　　I was on the phone the other day with a computer help desk. First a man, then later a 

　　woman, who couldn’t

　　have been ruder. And this to a customer, who didn’t know his way around a PC. But no matter, I could tell they thought I was a bother, The woman, in fact, seemed to be chewing gum as she unemotionally clicked off a series of commands for me to perform.

　　The next day I heard from a friend of mine who got a performance review without his boss once looking up at him. Not once.

　　You see it everywhere. Gone are the days when people cared about you. It’s a sign of the time, I suspect. But that makes me sad — for them and for us all. People who aren’t happy, who don’t smile, who don’t kid, who don’t joke or make light of even bad situations, make for an even worse situation.

　　And it spreads like a cancer. Someone’s rude to you, you’re rude to them and to the next fellow you meet, and on and on. Smiles are contagious（易感染的）but so annoyances. The boss who can’t be bothered with his workers. The celebrity who can’t be bothered with her annoying fans.

　　You know, my mom used to judge presidential candidates by how they smiled. I would say, “But mom, you don’t know if that smile is real.”

　　“Oh, yes I do,” she would tell me. “I can feel it.”

　　It’s in their eyes, she would say. And its in their smile .The rest just kind of falls into place.

　　1.Why did the writer mention his phone call?

　　A. To prove his mother is wrong.

　　B. To show many people aren’t nice.

　　C. To tell us he knows little about computer.

　　D. To share his funny experience with us.

　　2.What is the author’s attitude towards the boss of his friend?

　　A. Opposed.      B. Doubtful.

　　C. Respectful.   D. Supportive.

　　3.When someone is rude to you, you’re advised to ________.

　　A. be rude to the next person

　　B. be nice to the people you meet

　　C. become one just like him or her

　　D. make for a worse situation

　　4.What’s the best title of the passage?

　　A. The power of a smile

　　B. Don’t judge a person by his look

　　C. The effect of rudeness

　　D. Feel a person in his eyes
