　　浙江常山县2017高考英语阅读理解1

　　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。

　　In June, 2007, a group of students from eight high schools in Winnipeg, the capital of Canada’s Manitoba province, will begin test-launching (试发射) a satellite the size of a Rubik’s cube.

　　The one-kilogram Win-Cube satellite, named for its home city and its shape, will be put into low orbit. Once in space, it can perform for a few months or up to several years, communicating information that could help find the early signs of earthquakes.

　　There are 80 similar satellite projects worldwide, but this is the first high-school based program of its kind in Canada. 30 Manitoba high school students are having a hand in designing and building the satellite, in cooperation with aerospace (航空航天的) experts and 10 students from the University of Manitoba, and with support from two other organizations.

　　The Win-Cube project is not something that goes on a piece of paper, it is real-world engineering, allowing high school students to have an opportunity to learn more about the exciting world of engineering through their participation in this challenging program. It is also taken as a wonderful example of the unique partnerships within Manitoba. Designing, building and launching a satellite with high-school participation will bring this world-class educational project into reality and Manitoba closer to space.

　　“These Manitoba high school students deserve congratulations for their enthusiasm, innovation (创新), and a strong love for discovery," said Education, Citizenship and Youth Minister Peter Bjonson. “We want to make science more relevant (相关的), interesting and attractive to high school students by showing them how classroom studies can relate to practical experience in the workplace or, in this case, in space," Bjonson added.

　　The Win-Cube program is mainly aimed at inspiring a strong desire for discovery on the part of the students. It also shows Manitoba’s devotion to research and innovation and the development of a skilled workforce—all important drivers of knowledge-based economic growth.

　　1. According to the passage, the Win-Cube satellite is　.　

　　A. named after Manitoba and its shape

　　B. intended for international communication

　　C. designed like a Rubik’s cube both in shape and size

　　D. challenged by university students around the world

　　2. According to Mr. Bjonson,　.　

　　A. those Manitoba high school students are worth praising

　　B. the study of space can be practically made in classrooms

　　C. Manitoba high schools are famous for the study of space

　　D. scientific research is too far away from high school students

　　3. The primary purpose of the project is to　.　

　　A. find the early signs of earthquakes

　　B. relate studies to practical experience

　　C. help high school students study real-world engineering

　　D. inspire a strong desire for discovery among the students

　　4. The best title for this passage may be　.　

　　A. Manitoba School　 B. Win-Cube Program

　　C. Space Cooperation　D. Satellite Launching

　　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。Recently a study, led by Pedro Hallal of the Federal University, suggests that nearly a third of adults, 31%, are not getting enough exercise. That rates of exercise have declined is hardly a new discovery. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, technology and economic growth have helped to create a world in which taking exercise is more and more an option rather than a necessity. But only recently have enough good data been collected from enough places to carry out the sort of analysis Dr Hallal and his colleagues have engaged in.

　　There are common themes in different places. Unsurprisingly, people in rich countries are less active than those in poor ones, and old people are less active than young ones. Less obviously, women tend to exercise less than men—34% are inactive, compared with 28% of men. But there are exceptions. The women of Croatia, Finland, Iraq and Luxembourg, for example, move more than their male countrymen.

　　Malta wins the race for most slothful country, with 72% of adults getting too little exercise, and Swaziland and Saudi Arabia are in close behind, with 69%. In Bangladesh, just 5% of adults fail to exercise enough. Surprisingly, six Americans in ten are active enough according to Dr Hallal’s study, compared with fewer than four in ten British.

　　These high rates of inactivity are worrying. Human beings seem to have evolved(进化) to benefit from exercise while deliberately avoiding it whenever they can. In a state of nature it would be impossible to live a life that did not provide enough of it. But that is no longer the case. Actually lack of enough activity these days has nearly the same effect on life span(寿命) as smoking.

　　29. We may learn from Paragraph 1 that_________.

　　A. the decline of exercise rates is newly discovered

　　B. the study suggests 31% of female adults get too little exercise

　　C. the good enough data has been collected from only one country

　　D. the industrial revolution has changed the way people live to some degree

　　30. According to the study, women of Luxembourg_________.

　　A. have little time to exercise

　　B. hate to get regular exercise

　　C. take more exercise to lose weight

　　D. exercise more than men in their country

　　31. The underlined word “slothful” in Paragraph 3 most probably means_________.

　　A. powerful

　　B. rich

　　C. lazy

　　D. unpopular

　　32. What can be the best title for the text?

　　A. Worldwide Lack of Enough Exercise

　　B. New Health Discovery

　　C. Evolvement of Human Beings

　　D. Benefits of Taking Exercise

　　Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.

　　【2017高考英语一模试题】

　　It is generally believed that we are getting cleaned when we step under a shower. We are, but we’re also giving a home to lots of tiny little creatures we didn’t even know about. A showerhead carries thousands of bacteria called Mycobacterium．These can cause problems like coughs and tiredness, and a general feeling of poorliness (身体不舒服). When you turn on the water, the bacteria go from the showerhead onto and into your body.

　　This is a finding of Norman R. Pace and his team at the University of Colorado, in the US. The scientists investigated bacteria in all kinds of human environment, including showers．Pace's team looked at 45 showerheads in nine American cities. They discovered that 30 percent of them had large amounts of flying Mycobacterium.

　　But Pace said that they pose few threats to the health．Only those with a weak immune system might need to worry．He told the New York Times that the bacteria are not as unpleasant as might be thought．He said that having a shower is no more dangerous than anything else we do in the morning．

　　But for those who feel sick about the idea of all those microorganisms (微生物), he had some advice. Let the water run for 30 seconds before getting into the shower. Why? The number of bacteria is smaller than that when the water is just turned on. If that seems like a waste of water, he added that you could also change your showerhead every few months.

　　However, Pace had good news too. He has also been testing the air in US subways. Apart from iron particles (粒子), which are ground off the track by the wheels of trains, subway air is fresh. The reason is that a train’s movement pumps fresh outdoor air into the tunnels.

　　Pace explained that he wanted to understand the natural microbial environments of public places. This kind of knowledge might help discover the microbes to be used in a bioterrorist (生物恐怖分子) attack. 【小题1】 From the finding of Norman R. Pace, after taking a shower, we might cough or feel tired

　　because

　　.

　　A. it’s easy to get a cold when taking a bath

　　B. the showerhead carries many bacteria causing illness

　　C. we don’t get cleaned while showering

　　D. we don’t get a weak immune system 【小题2】According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

　　A. Hot water could kill most of bacteria in showerheads.

　　B. Of 45 showerheads surveyed in nine cities, 30 carried large amounts of Mycobacterium.

　　C. Changing showerheads is the only way to avoid microorganisms.

　　D. Shower water contains much less bacteria after being left to run for 30 seconds.

　　【小题3】We can learn from the third paragraph that

　　.

　　A. having a shower in the morning is more dangerous than at other time

　　B. the bacteria always threat people’s health

　　C. there is no reason to fear microorganisms for people with strong immune system

　　D. it is better to do some exercise in the morning than have a shower

　　【小题4】The underlined word “pose” in the third paragraph probably means “______”．

　　A. cause     

　　B. avoid       

　　C. describe 

　　D. promise

　　【小题5】What contributes to fresh air in US subways?

　　A. The train’s movement.         

　　B. Iron particles．

　　C. Train wheels. 

　　D. Air conditioners on the trains．
