　　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。The island is mountainous and covered in trees. The water around the island is transparent like glass. When I first visited it, there was mist rising from the trees. The little harbor looked mysterious and remote: tall palm trees, a few shops and restaurants, no cars, motorcycles or bikes.

　　It is not by chance that the island has kept its natural beauty. Once, it was privately owned and the owners always wanted to keep it in its natural state. In 1963, Port Cros became a national park. The park directors made some rules to protect the island. They didn’t allow any new building projects. There is only one hotel and no camping is allowed. Visitors can’t use mountain bikes or smoke on the island. Sailing boats that visit the island mustn’t damage the bottom of the sea or pollute the water around it.

　　When we arrived, we started walking to the beach of Port-Man, which was the furthest beach from the port. It took us two hours and when we arrived, the beach was deserted. It seemed that we were the only people on the island. Time seemed to stop. It was so beautiful that we stayed there all day. I visited there again last summer. Nothing had changed. The island still looked magical and mysterious, still with few tourists. It must be wonderful to stay the night on the island, I thought. After all the visitors have gone, the island must be so quiet—a real paradise (天堂)!

　　1. The author got to know Port Cros at first due to _____.

　　A. some tourist brochures

　　B. his wife’s introduction

　　C. his first visit there

　　A. Foreign visitors are not allowed to visit it.

　　B. Nothing has been built in the park there.

　　C. Only bikes can be used on the island.

　　D. Sailing boats mustn’t pollute the water.

　　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。

　　Regardless of their family background, the children’s reactions to new environments have struck the public.

　　In one episode of Dad! , the five-year-old daughter of former Olympic diving champion Tian Liang cries and hides behind her father when they arrive at a rural village. In an episode of the other series, a young girl in Tianjin breaks down into a tearful fit after being asked by her father to go out alone to buy eggs and a pancake.

　　In the eyes of some observers, these kids show no sense of independence, and the reason is put down to parents who are overly sheltering. But television viewers and parents were heartened when the sobbing Tianjin girl finally wiped away her tears as she returned holding the pancake. In the case of Tian’s daughter, she eventually began to take care of her younger companions and learned to seek help from people she didn’t know.

　　The father of the Tianjin girl felt “delightfully shocked” and said. “She used to have to be accompanied by her mother or grandmother. Now she has the courage to do it all by herself. ”

　　The shows have led many parents to change how they raise their children. Shanghai mother Liang Jing said she would try to “give some training” to her shy son, asking him to tidy up his toys. Lin Yi, a parenting expert in Beijing, said giving kids a chance to do things for themselves helps to raise their sense of achievement, which carries benefits throughout their lives. ”

　　28. What attracts the audience’s eyes in the programs?

　　A. What the kids’ family background is like.

　　B. Where children’s real comfort zone is.

　　C. How children react to new environments.

　　D. Why those children are independent.

　　29. What is Tian Liang’s daughter expected to do in the show?

　　A. Go out to buy something alone.

　　B. Hide in a safe place to avoid a danger.

　　C. Make friends with strange adults.

　　C. parents should provide a safe environment

　　D. the children are as fragile as parents expected

　　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。Why Doesn’t Anybody Copy Apple?

　　Apple’s products are the envy of the world. They have been spectacularly successful and are widely imitated, if not copied. The minute Apple crystallizes a product, everyone knows how to compete．This idea that the basis of competition is set by Apple and then the race is on to climb the path of improvement is unquestionable．When Apple releases a product that defines a category or dramatically changes the structure of an industry, it becomes obvious what needs to be built. But what I wonder is why everyone wants to copy Apple’s products but nobody wants to copy being Apple?

　　I can think of two reasons. Firstly, Apple is not worth copying because it's not successful; secondly, Apple’s success cannot be copied because it is a magical process．

　　There is a great deal of evidence for the first hypothesis. The idea of Apple being successful is not something reflected in its stock price．Being valued lower than the average company in the S&P（标准普尔）500 indicates that to whatever degree Apple was successful in the past, it's not seen by the vast majority of observers as successful in the future．Why should one bother copying Apple if it results in being punished with a low valuation? If one works really hard at innovation and then that innovation becomes commoditized（商品化）very quickly, why should one bother?

　　When innovation practitioners are asked what makes Apple successful, the answers regarding the cause of this success border on the mythical. The climax of this hypothesis is the “chief-sorcerer” theory of success which places one magician, like Steve Jobs, in charge of casting all the right spells（符咒）．

　　What about Apple’s own opinion of what makes it tick? Tim Cook refers to a great team and integration of hardware, software and services as unique Apple advantages. It’s a better explanation．Integration is something that can take a long time, but it is possible with great effort．A few companies are starting to make moves in that direction, but efforts are half-hearted．There is no “move the Earth” panic to become an integrated company from Samsung, Google or Microsoft．

　　My own suspicion is that Apple is more aware of what makes it special than it lets out． However, as Tim points out, it’s not a formula．It’s complex, it’s subtle, but it’s not magic．It’s a process that requires a degree of faith and courage．

　　32．When a new product of Apple comes out, often it ______．

　　A．ruins an industry dramatically

　　B．starts a revolution of an industry

　　C．puts itself in an unbeatable position

　　D．is soon overtaken by imitated products

　　3．According to the passage, other companies don’t “copy being Apple” because ______.

　　AApple is not a successful company

　　B.

　　they have no access to relevant resources

　　C.

　　It’s hard to find a magician like Steve Jobs

　　D．being Apple takes more than time and efforts

　　3．We can infer from Para. 5 that ______．

　　A．other companies are dedicated to integration

　　B．Apple itself is fully aware of its unique advantages

　　C．Apple will hold the leading position in this industry

　　D．other companies don't have a great team as Apple does

　　35．What does the author think of Tim Cook's statement?

　　A．Acceptable．

　　B．Disappointing．

　　C．Unquestionable．

　　D．Convincing．
