　　湖北黄冈市2017高考英语阅读理解二轮精练（28）及（解析）答案

　　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。

　　Imagine this: you get up in the morning and put on a custom printed T-shirt. Then you eat some 3-D printed food and relax on your printed sofa. Perhaps you take a ride in a printed electric car to the hospital to get a printed tooth fitted.

　　Though some of these things may seem impossible, they’re closer to reality than you might think. The world of 3-D printing is coming to a store near you soon.

　　The idea of 3-D printing is to produce complicated shapes in a very personalized way. If you want to make a totally new object, you need to make a virtual design in a CAD（computer aided design）file first. Or you can use a 3-D scanner to make a digital copy of an object. Then, based on the design or copy, the 3-D printer makes paper-thin slices out of liquid, plastic, or metal and puts them together to create the object you want.

　　There are many areas in which 3-D printing can change our lives. One such area is health care. Researchers have developed simple 3-D printed organs, which can be used in life-saving operations. A 17-year-old boy in the US has also recently developed a brain-powered, 3-D printed replacement hand. From heart monitors to fake limbs（四肢）, we can soon be living longer thanks to 3-D printed technology.

　　Another area that 3-D technology looks sure to change is food. Can you imagine being able to print your favorite dishes at home at the touch of a button? Even big companies are behind the trend. Hersheys, one of the largest chocolate makers in the world, recently announced that it would start producing chocolate with the help of 3-D printers. NASA, the US space agency, has reportedly spent $125,000 （767,594 yuan） developing a “3-D pizza printer”.

　　It is not yet clear how long it will take until 3-D printers are available to everyone. But one thing is for sure: the possibilities are endless.

　　1. The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.

　　A. list some major 3-D printing breakthroughs

　　B. describe the characters of 3-D printing

　　C. picture a future life with 3-D printing

　　D. describe the benefits that 3-D printing has brought to our lives

　　2. Compared with traditional manufacturing procedures, 3-D printing ________.

　　A. isn’t practical in daily life

　　B. relies less heavily on the use of 3-D scanners

　　C. can produce complicated products in larger sizes or numbers

　　D. has an advantage in meeting the personal needs

　　3. We can infer from the article that ________.

　　A. there is still a long way to go before everyone can have access to 3-D printing

　　B. 3-D printed organs and limbs are as effective as real ones

　　C. big food companies are major players in the 3-D printing industry

　　D. people can create any object with any material by 3-D printing

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

　　A. What is 3-D printing?

　　B. A new technology-3-D printing.

　　C. How to use 3-D printing?

　　D. The development of 3-D printing.

　　参考答案1—4、CDAB

　　阅读理解, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

　　The Pacific Ocean is the largest of the world’s four oceans. Its name comes from the Latin meaning “peaceful sea”， and was given by the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, whose voyage was plain there.

　　However, the Pacific is not always peaceful. Its islands are often hit by typhoons, and the countries surrounding it have many volcanoes and are often hit by earthquakes. Tsunamis

　　(海啸 ), caused by underwater earthquakes, have destroyed many low－lying coastal towns.

　　The Ocean contains about 46% of Earth’s surface water, and makes up about 32% of its total surface area, more than all of the planet’s land areas.

　　The equator (赤道) divides it into the North Pacific and the South Pacific Oceans, the latter of which contains most of its largest 25,000 islands. The largest landmass entirely within the Pacific Ocean is the island of New Guinea, with Australia to its south；it has been the world’s second－largest island since separating from the Australian mainland.The lowest point on Earth, the Mariana Trench (海沟), lies 10,911 meters below the surface of the Pacific, but the Ocean’s average depth is 4,280 meters.

　　The water temperature of the Pacific varies from freezing at the poles to about 300C near the equator. Its salinity (盐分) also varies from place to place. The water near the equator is less salty because of the rainfall there, but at the poles salinity is also low, because little evaporation (蒸发) takes place in the cold water of these areas.

　　The exploitation (开采) of the Pacific’s mineral wealth is difficult in its deeper parts. However, in the shallow waters of the continental shelves off the coasts of Australia and New Zealand, oil and natural gas are exploited, and pearls are harvested along the coasts of Australia, Japan, Nicaragua and the Philippines.

　　The Pacific’s greatest wealth is its fish, but the fishing industry has been harmed greatly by marine pollution. The biggest harm comes from rivers that carry into the Ocean many chemicals used as fertilizers in agriculture, as well as waste. These days many countries are coming together to try to protect the Ocean.

　　1. Ferdinand Magellan gave the Ocean its name because he________.

　　A. expected to live a peaceful life

　　B．hoped there would be no more wars

　　C．came upon no serious storms while crossing it

　　D．expected to stay safe and healthy there

　　2. From the passage, what do we know about the Pacific Ocean?

　　A．It contains about 32% of the Earth’s surface water.

　　B．It has suffered many natural disasters.

　　C．Its deeper parts haven’t been exploited.

　　D．New Guinea is on the north of it.

　　3. Why is the water at the poles less salty?

　　A．Little of it turns into steam.

　　B．There is abundant rainfall there.

　　C．The ocean currents are slow there.

　　D．Melting snow adds water to the ocean.

　　4. We can infer from the passage that________.

　　A. countries near the Ocean benefit from being on it

　　B．pearls are a major source of income in Japan

　　C．most people prefer to live near the Ocean

　　D．all the countries along the Ocean are developed

　　参考答案1—3、ADD

　　阅读理解, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

　　For more than nine days，for more than 60 miles，thousands of Beijing­bound vehicles have come to an almost total stop on highways called the 6 and 110 that run from Inner Mongolia southeast to the nation's capital.Bai Xiaolong，a 30­year­old truck driver，says it took him five days to make the 350­mile journey from Inner Mongolia to Tianjin.He spent much of that time reading，text­messaging and sleeping rather than speeding up.“There was one day that I didn't move，not even an inch，”said Bai，an inhabitant of Jining in Inner Mongolia，a city at the western end of the traffic jam.

　　Chinese officials said that the congestion is mainly because of the maintenance(维护)projects that began in mid­August and are scheduled to be completed in mid­September.Trucks carrying 8 tons or more of coal or fruit have been responsible for damaging the roadway，thus making the work necessary.

　　Drivers who often use the route know that heavy traffic has long been a fact of life.“The problem is really that there're too many cars and trucks and not enough lanes(车道)，”Bai said.“We drivers are used to this sort of thing happening.”

　　The two national freeways are heavily used by trucks carrying coal from the recently opened fields of Inner Mongolia to China's coastal cities.

　　The seemingly endless jam began on the 6 and spread to the 110，which runs parallel(平行的)，when officials sought to ease the traffic on the 6.

　　The Global Times，and English­language newspaper，said the jam had eased somewhat in the last two days，but inhabitants of the region say the congestion simply spilled out onto other roads.

　　The congestion has created an economy of its own.Vendors(小贩)sell boxed lunches，noodles and drinking water to the travelers，often at jacked­up prices.And because of the long­standing problems along the highways，dozens of small hotels have appeared，attracting drivers who need a stop to catch more serious sleep.

　　1．According to the text，the 110 was mainly damaged by________.

　　A．too many carsB．bad weather

　　C．poor maintenanceD．heavy trucks

　　答案：D　细节理解题。根据文章第四段最后一句及第六段可知，导致这条国道毁坏的主要原因是那些重型卡车，故选D项。2．What can we infer from the text?

　　A．Bai Xiaolong was born in Tianjin.

　　B．The problem of traffic jams in China will be solved soon.

　　C．Chinese officials think it is necessary to build more lanes.

　　D．The local people don't think the congestion has eased.

　　答案：D　推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中的inhabitants of the region say the congestion simply spilled out onto other roads可知，当地居民认为交通堵塞只是转移到了别的道路上，也就是说他们认为当地的交通拥堵并没有得到缓解。

　　3．The underlined word“jacked­up”in the last paragraph probably means“________”．

　　A．high

　　B．right

　　C．special

　　D．low

　　答案：A　猜测词义题。因为堵车所以司机被困在那里，他们需要吃的和喝的，而一些商贩发现了这个商机，往往哄抬物价，司机们别无选择，由此可猜测出该词的意思为“很高的”。

　　4．What would be the best title of the passage?

　　A．The congestion creates an economy of its own

　　B．Traffic jam near Beijing stretches on for days

　　C．The traffic has improved in Beijing

　　D．Truck drivers in China live a hard life

　　答案：B　标题归纳题。本文报道了一次严重的交通堵塞。60多英里的道路变成了停车场，足足堵了九天多的时间，B作为标题最合适。
