　　山西保德县2017高考英语一轮阅读理解基础题

　　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。

　　Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile (汽车)．But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896.That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile.Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker，instead of making the worker move to the parts.That is not true，either.Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford.What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better.And he made the whole factory a moving production line.

　　In the early days of the automobile，almost every car maker raced his cars.It was the best way of gaining public notice.Henry Ford decided to build a racing car.Ford's most famous race was his first one.It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.

　　The race was in 1901，at a field near Detroit.All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left：the Winton and Ford's.The Winton was famous for its speed.Most people thought the race was over before it began.

　　The Winton took an early lead.But halfway through the race, it began to lose power.Ford started to gain.And near the end of the race, he took the lead.Ford won the race and defeated the Winton.His name appeared in newspapers and he became well­known all over the United States.Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company.In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company.That_sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream.Ford said: “I will build a motor car for the great mass of people.It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for.It will be built of the best materials.It will be built by the best men to be employed.And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce.It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.”

　　The Model T was a car of that kind.It only cost $850.It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on.Doctors bought the Model T．So did farmers.Even criminals. They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation.Americans loved the Model T．They wrote stories and songs about it.Thousands of Model T's were built in the first few years.

　　本文记叙了亨利福特充分利用别人的想法，生产出了自己的汽车，形成了自己的生产流水线。通过赛车比赛，使公众关注到自己的汽车，然后建立了自己的汽车公司，为所有的普通顾客生产汽车。

　　1．What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1?

　　B．He produced the first car in the world.

　　C．He knew how to improve auto parts.

　　．Why did Henry Ford take part in the 1901 car race?

　　A．To show off his driving skills.B．To draw public attention.

　　C．To learn about new technology.D．To raise money for his new company.

　　答案：B。细节理解题。根据短文第二段可知，开始时，每个汽车制造者都开赛车，并且这是引人注意的最好方法。因此他制造自己的赛车，进行比赛，目的是引人注意。

　　．“That sale” in Paragraph 4 refers to______.

　　A．the selling of Ford cars at reduced prices

　　B．the sale of Model T to the mass of people

　　C．the selling of a car to a Detroit doctor

　　D．the sales target for the Ford Company

　　．What was Henry Ford's dream according to the text?

　　A．Producing cars for average customers.

　　B．Building racing cars of simple design.

　　C．Designing more car models.

　　D．Starting more companies.

　　答案：A。细节理解题。由短文倒数第二段及最后一段可知，他造的车价格低，能挣钱的人都能买得起他的车，医生，农民甚至罪犯都买他的车。由此可知他的梦想就是为普通老百姓造车。

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

　　If you are a college student, probably you are greatly stressed when the final exams are coming. University students are good at coming up with ways to cope with the stress of college life. But some students at a college in Canada have started a new trend that is family-friendly, opening a puppy room for students during finals week (December 4-6)

　　The National Post reports that for three days during finals week, students at Dalousie University can spend some time with lovely dogs, which is being brought in by Therapeutic Paws of Canada. “It is something that people need right now because students are superstressed,” Michael Kean, an environmental science student who first proposed the idea, told me the Post.

　　After the student union first advertised the event on its Face book page, the news of the Puppy Room spread quickly across social networking sites. “Our expectations are pretty high right now,” Gavin Jardine, vice president of student life at Dalhousie told the Post. “We had 1800 shares, thousands of ‘likes’. It attracted a lot of attention on Twitter as well. It spread as quickly as a virus.”

　　Don LeBlance of Therapeutc Paws of Canada said all the dogs attending the event come from loving homes and enjoy the company of people. A number of different breeds will be on hand to interact with students who sign up to visit the Puppy Room. And buzz from the Dalhousie Puppy Room has spread so quickly that LeBlance says a half dozen universities have already called about staging similar events for their students.

　　So, is there any actual evidence to support using guest dogs to reduce the stress of busy college students? “If you do any research at all about the benefits of using pets, you will find out quite quickly that it lowers blood pressure,” LeBlanc said. “It certainly made a huge difference in my life when I got a dog.”

　　1 What is Michael Kean’s attitude toward the puppy room?

　　A. He thinks it is bad for dogs.

　　B. He doesn’t think it is relaxing.

　　C. He thinks it is a waste of time.

　　D. He thinks it works for college students.

　　2 Paragraph 3 shows the idea of the puppy room was___________.

　　A. surprising

　　B. harmful

　　C. well received

　　D. inspiring

　　3 We know from Paragraph 4 that some universities want to ____________.

　　A. find out if their students are also stressed

　　B. follow the example of the college in Canada

　　C. find out why dogs are loved by college students

　　D. introduce some dogs from the college in Canada

　　4 What’s the main idea of the passage?

　　A. Puppies have become very popular with college students.

　　B. College students have more ways of relaxing than before.

　　C. A college is offering more ways of entertainment for students.

　　D. A college is offering a puppy room for stressed college students.
