2017高考英语阅读理解解析版汇编(62)
阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
In my experience, freshmen today are different from those I knew when I started as a professor 25 years ago. College has always been demanding both academically and socially. But students now are less mature and often not ready for the responsibility of being in college.
Many of today’s students lack resilience (适应力)and at the first sign of difficulty are unable to think out strategies. The hardship can be a failing grade on a test, a cut from the team, or a romantic breakup.
It is really too easy to point the finger at parents who protect their children from life’s obstacles. Parents, who handle every difficulty and every other responsibility for their children from writing admission essays to picking college courses, certainly may contribute to their children’s lack of coping strategies. But we can look even more broadly to the social trends of today.
How many people do you know who are on medications (治疗) to prevent anxiety or depression? The number of students who arrive at college already medicated for unwanted emotions has increased dramatically in the past 10 years. We, as a society, don’t want to“feel” anything unpleasant and we certainly don’t want our children to“suffer”. The resulting problem is that by not experiencing negative emotions, one does not learn the necessary skills to tolerate and solve problems.
Our world is more stressful in general because of the current economic and political realities, but I don’t believe that the college experience itself is more intense today than the past 10 years. What I do think is that many students are often not prepared to be young “adults”with all the responsibilities of life.
As parents, we should expect young people to meet challenges. To encourage them in this direction, we have to step back and let them fail and pick themselves up and move forward. This approach needs to begin at an early age so that college can actually be a passage to independent adulthood.
1. The best title of the text probably is_____
A. Have College Freshmen Changed?

2016高考英语训练--阅读理解阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。Going on holiday not only makes you feel good while you're there --- you gain the health benefits for months, new research shows.
Jetting off to exotic destinations such as the Maldives cuts your blood pressure, helps you sleep better and bounce back from stress, it found. The benefits last at least a fortnight longer than the vacation and can be felt for months in some cases where it is claimed. Experts say workers should always take their full holiday entitlement each year --- as many as one in three don’t --- to get the benefits.
The study compared key health markers in holidaymakers visiting Thailand, Peru or the Maldives, with people who stayed at home and continued working. The average blood pressure of those on holiday dropped by six percent while the workers saw their blood pressure rise by two percent over the same period. The sleep quality of holidaymakers improved by 17 percent while that of the non-holidaymakers deteriorated by 14 percent.
The study also found the ability of vacationers to recover from stress --- known as the stress-resilience test --- improved by 29 percent. There was a 71 percent fall in stress resilience scores among workers. Tests showed a fall in blood glucose levels, reducing the risk of diabetes, trimmer waistlines and enhanced mood and energy levels, with the effects sustained for at least two weeks after returning home.
The Holiday Health Experiment was conducted by tour operator Kuoni and Nuffield Health, the UK’s largest healthcare charity.
1.. According to the passage, how many people go on holiday?
A. One third.
B. Two thirds.
C. 17 percent.
D. A quarter.
2.. Which of the following can we infer from the passage?

B. Most people like to stay at home during the holiday.
C. Holiday makers are more adaptable than non-holidaymakers.
D. The result of the study is mostly based on the description from the people involved.
3.. The author intends to tell us that __________.
A. we have to go on holiday as much as possible
B. you’ll certainly get depressed if you don’t go on holiday
C. it is best to go to foreign countries like Maldives
D. we had better go on holiday for the benefit of health
4.. The best title of the passage is ________ .
A. Health Benefits from Holiday
B. A Holiday Health Experiment
C. Health Problems of Having Holiday
D. Key Health Markers in Holidaymakers
1.B细节理解题。根据Experts say workers should always take their full holiday entitlement each year --- as many as one in three don’t --- to get the benefits.2/1的人去度假,故选B。

’s my name, Alexander Spencer, typed on the front. I throw it under the bed. The piles of envelopes are growing.
The envelopes were applications to all the colleges I was supposed to attend. I did open the first envelope. Then I saw the application, all those blank spaces I was supposed to fill with my own writing, spaces for my name and birth date and grade average and … statement of purpose. I looked at them for a long time. I could write for hours and not fill all those spaces. So I put the application back in the envelope. I would fill it out the next day, when I had time. But another envelope arrived. And then the pile began.
The pile scares me — it is really like a monster. All the while, I feel the weight of a million envelopes raining down on my head until my grandmother calls me and wants to know how I am.
“I am overcome by too many tasks,” I say.
“Honey, you just take it bit by bit,” she says, and she reminds me about the green beans.
When I was a little kid I hated green beans. But my mom said I couldn’t leave the table until I ate ten green beans. All alone at the table, I stared at the green beans for what seemed like hours. It was a mountain of green beans. I couldn’t do it.
My grandma came to me and asked if I could eat one green bean.
“But Grandma, I have to eat ten!”
She said all I had to do was to eat one green bean. One tiny little green bean. So I ate one. It was bad, but not as bad as I’d thought it would be. Then she asked me again if I could eat one. So I ate one green bean nine more times.
My grandma doesn’t know about the envelopes, but she tells me anyone can do one thing every day.
Back in my room, I lay down on the bed. Just like I used to do when I was a little kid, I hang my head down to look at the pile of envelopes. There it is. But instead of a monster, I see a pile of green beans. Who’s afraid of green beans?
1. Envelopes are piling up because the author _______.
doesn’t know how to reply
feels bored of the paper work
doesn’t want to attend college
has been too busy to open them
2. What does the author learn from the story of the green beans?
A. A good start is half done.
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. A long journey begins with a single step.
D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
3. What do you think the author will do next?
A. He will fill out the applications one after another.
B. He will go to the college that he dreams of.
C. He will throw away all the envelopes.
D. He will eat up the green beans.

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。
In a cab, a woman seemed in such a hurry.She constantly rushed the cab driver to drive quickly.She was so absorbed in her own thoughts of getting to the airport as soon as possible that she was not aware they were going by a different route.
All of a sudden, a young man got inside the cab.He took her handbag in which she had put her visa, passport, and all the money for the trip.
The cab driver, who was in collusion with the robber, left her in the exactly middle of a dark street.She thought that she was rather unfortunate in the very situation.
During the very night, she was told a piece of shocking news.Tears came down her cheek.Flight 360, the plane that she should have got on board, had crashed.Had she not lost her important belongings, she could surely have lost the thing far more precious——her life.
Sometimes bad things really happen.There are times when nothing seems to go our way.So what should we do about it? We must get rid of all these frustrations and start all over again in the faith that we will get what we deserve.
Don’t waste your time and energy on things that can’t be changed.Continuous worrying will only affect your health and you’ll be doing much more damage than what was previously done.

There was a man who won the lottery.He became greedy and wasted all his money on everything he could get his hands on.
But when he one day made it to the front page of the newspaper again, it was a different story.He had been killed because of his riches.If you attain good luck, you can never be too secure about it.Life is so unpredictable.You never know what will happen next.
Live one day at a time.We sometimes subject ourselves to unnecessary emotional trouble.But please don’t forget: sometimes misfortune can be the source of happiness.Live for the moment.Do what must be done for the present and the future will turn out just fine.Believe me.And believe in yourself.As Captain Planet always says, “The power is yours!”
