　　（2017高考训练）阅读理解。

　　You know how wonderful you are, and you know that others know how wonderful you are, but what do you do when admiration crosses over the line into jealousy (嫉妒)? For most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship. When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do, but the good news is that there is. Don't let jealousy spoil your friendship. Deal with it confidently and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.

　　It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is, but if you want to save your friendship you'll have to do just that. Don't approach them and ask why they are jealous of you unless of course you want to appear totally conceited (逞能的), just take some time alone with them and let them know that you've been feeling like there's been something coming between you. If they refuse to respond, then use the opportunities to explain how you have been feeling. Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.

　　When you figure out what is annoying your friend, ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better. If, for example, (s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn't get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite him or her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you. Remember, though, that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise. Don't limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy. Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.

　　Even the best of friendships can be ruined by jealousy. This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies. Before taking extreme action, chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise. If you can't, be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you won't.

　　Steve and Debbie got married in 2001 and had two children，Lily and Alex.Unfortunately，Steve and Debbie’s marriage didn’t work out and they got divorced in 2006.The children live with Debbie.In 2008，Debbie remarried.Her new husband，Martin，has three children from his previous marriage and they visit Debbie，Martin，Lily and Alex at weekends.In addition，Debbie is pregnant with her third child.She’s expecting a boy who will be a half­brother to Lily and Alex and also to Martin’s three other children.

　　Confused？Debbie’s family arrangements might have seemed strange 30 years ago but nowadays this kind of “reconstituted” family is increasingly common in the UK.Almost half of all marriages in Britain end in divorce and over 40% of marriages are remarriages.More than 10% of all British children live with one birth parent and a stepparent—a parent who isn’t their biological mother or father.The traditional “nuclear” family of two parents and their children is not so traditional any more.

　　What does all of this mean for parents in these “reconstituted” families？“There

　　are

　　difficulties

　　and

　　challenges，”

　　says Debbie.“Different families have different routines and it can be difficult for children to move between their two families.Birthdays and holidays can be tricky.Where do the children go？Who should they spend their time with？Also，when my children are naughty it can be difficult for Martin to tell_them_off.Things that might be simple in a traditional family can be a bit more complicated.”

　　And how about the children？Martin’s eldest child，Ella，is 12.“I like my two families，” she says.“I live with my

　　mum but visit my dad quite often and I’m happy that my mum and dad get along OK.They’re not married any more but it’s good that they can still be friends.”

　　Of course divorce and separation are never easy but many families in the UK are finding ways to make family life work in new ways.

　　【语篇解读　本文介绍了英国出现越来越多的重组家庭这一社会现象。

　　．Why did Steve and Debbie get separated?

　　A．They couldn’t support the children.

　　B．They couldn’t get along well.

　　C．They were both out of work.

　　D．They had serious economic problems.

　　解析　考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Unfortunately，Steve and Debbie’s marriage didn’t work out and they got divorced in 2006.”可知，Steve和Debbie由于感情破裂而无法维系婚姻，并非因为经济问题或双双失业，更不是因为养不起孩子。

　　答案　B

　　．We can learn from the text that a “nuclear” family ________.

　　A．has two birth parents and their children

　　B．has two birth parents and only one child

　　C．is traditional but complicated

　　解析　考查细节理解。根据第三段最后一句“The traditional

　　‘nuclear’ family of two parents and their children is not so traditional any more.”可知答案为A项。

　　．What do the underlined words “tell them off” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?

　　A．make them annoyed

　　B．send them to school

　　解析　考查词义猜测。根据画线部分前面的“when my children are naughty”和第四段的最后一句“Things that might be simple in a traditional family can be a bit more complicated.”并结合生活常识可推知，由于Martin是孩子的继父，所以不能够对他们大声呵斥。tell sb.off意为“责骂、斥责某人”。

　　答案　D

　　．What’s the text mainly about?

　　A．The difference between “marriage” and “remarriage”．

　　B．More and more people get divorced in the UK.

　　答案　C

　　The Japanese like parties.From ancient times, a party becomes enlivened (活泼) when someone starts singing and others keep applauding.Having such a custom, the Japanese can easily sing in front of others without feeling embarrassed.This seems to be one of the reasons that karaoke has been largely accepted in Japanese society.

　　It is now widely recognized that the use of karaoke started at a snack bar in Kobe City,

　　one of the three biggest cities in Japan.It is said that when a guitarist could not come to perform at the bar due to illness,

　　the owner of the bar prepared tapes of accompaniment recordings, and people enjoyed singing to the tapes.

　　It was at that time that karaoke appeared.Holding a microphone and singing a song to the accompaniment of an “orchestra (管弦乐队)”， you can feel like a professional singer.For soldiers living in a stressful society, there is no other entertainment activity that can make them feel so refreshed.

　　It is a typical way to relax for Japanese businessmen.They use it to take away their stress after work.However, there is an obstacle to this: since most Japanese houses are still made of wood,

　　it would be very annoying to the neighbors to sing into a microphone at night.Seizing upon the opportunity, businessmen created the karaoke box, a roadside facility containing karaoke equipment.Karaoke boxes are soundproofed rooms, closed with a door, placed on roadsides where people can sing.The first “Karaoke box” was placed in a rice camp in the countryside in 1984.It was built from a converted freight car (改装的货运车).Now, the karaoke boom has even spread abroad and it has also been attracting the attention of the countries trying to improve their literacy rate (识字率) as a good educational tool.

　　1.According to the text, we can learn that karaoke ________.

　　A.originated from the biggest city of Japan

　　B.originated in the form of singing to tapes

　　C.can help you achieve the level of professional singers

　　D.first appeared in the army to relieve stress for soldiers

　　2.The underlined word “soundproofed” in Paragraph 4 most probably means “________”.

　　A.recording sounds repeatedly

　　B.receiving sound signals

　　C.making sound more clear

　　D.stopping sound from being heard outside

　　3.What can be inferred from the text?

　　A.Karaoke was started in a bar during a party.

　　B.A guitarist was the originator who brought the karaoke into being.

　　C.Karaoke was very common as a form of entertainment at home when it was born.

　　D.Karaoke is used as a way of education in some countries.

　　Does stress cause gray hair？Many people believe that tension and stress can cause your hair to lose its color.In fact，it is an_old_wives’_tale that being upset all the time can result in premature graying.Here is a closer look at this situation and why some believe that this old wives’ tale could be true.

　　As one ages，the hairs on the head also age.In fact，just about everything on the human body begins to show signs of wear and tear after a while.The joints wear and become stiff and skin wears and becomes wrinkled.Hairs on the head grow and eventually die.They are replaced，but in the process something else happens.

　　When new hairs are replaced，the color or pigment (色素) is also added to them.However，as one ages，this pigment becomes less and less available.At first，hairs will have a limited amount of pigment and they will appear to be grayish in color.In time，they will lose all of their pigment and will be white.Many things are known to cause graying，and genetics is a very powerful factor.If one of your parents turns gray at an early age，there is a good chance that you will too.Some people begin the graying process in high school，while others may be over the age of forty.

　　Constant worry and tension can have many harmful effects on the human body.It is a known fact that stressful times can cause one to suffer hair loss.It would make sense that if it can cause these problems，perhaps it also may contribute to graying.However，there is no sound evidence to support this.

　　On the other hand，many medical professionals believe that there may be a link between graying and a constant state of anxiety or tension.Does stress cause gray hair？There is no scientific evidence to support the theory，but it is best to avoid stressful situations.

　　【语篇解读】　压力会导致头发变白吗？许多人相信情况是这样的。本文从年龄和基因两方面谈了头发变白的原因，持续的压力和忧虑对于身体是有害的，可导致脱发。但是，究竟压力和头发变白之间是否有联系，目前尚无定论。

　　1．The underlined phrase in the first paragraph most probably means________.

　　A．clever remarksB．silly remarks

　　C．exciting remarks D．disappointed remarks

　　解析　词义猜测题。画线短语前面提到“Many people believe that tension and stress can cause your hair to lose its color”，即许多人相信紧张和压力导致头发褪色变白。短文接着谈到“In fact，it is...”，这是推测画线词意思的关键。因此an old wives’ tale意为“无稽之谈”。

　　答案　B

　　2．The second paragraph mainly tells us________.

　　A．every part of body is replaced with age

　　B．hairs will grow weak but not die

　　C．skin becomes wrinkled with age

　　D．every part of body ages with age

　　解析　主旨大意题。第二段第一句话是该段的主题句。从中可以看出，人体的每一部分都会随着年龄的增长而衰老。

　　答案　D

　　3．What might play the most important role in the graying process?

　　A．Genetics and the amount of sleeping time.

　　B．The amount of food people eat and living environment.

　　C．The amount of pigment and genetics.

　　D．Genetics and the amount of water people drink

　　解析　细节理解题。本文第三段提到“At first，hairs will have a limited amount of pigment and they will appear to be grayish in color.In time，they will lose all of their pigment and will be white.Many things are known to cause graying，and genetics is a very powerful factor.”由此可以看出，色素和基因在头发变白的过程中起着重要的作用。

　　答案　C

　　4．According to the passage，continuous pressure may result in________.

　　A．a person’s fatness B．a person’s fitness

　　C．a person’s weight loss D．a person’s hair loss

　　解析　细节理解题。本文倒数第二段提到“Constant worry and tension can have many harmful effects on the human body.It is a known fact that stressful times can cause one to suffer hair loss”。由此可知，持续的压力会导致脱发。

　　答案　D

　　5．From the passage we can infer that________.

　　A．stress causing gray hair is still in question

　　B．gray hair has nothing to do with tension

　　C．stressful situations can be of benefit

　　D．sound evidence has been found

　　解析　推理判断题。本文倒数第二段最后提到“However，there is no sound evidence to support this.”最后一段也提到“There is no scientific evidence to support the theory...”。由此可知，是否压力会引起头发变白仍无定论。

　　答案　A
