　　四川长宁县2017高考英语阅读理解专题练习

　　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。

　　An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.

　　In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起）the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea

　　has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.

　　In Chicago, the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at

　　night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.

　　The only problem arose in New York ,where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致）can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.

　　Ultinatelas Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would

　　not otherwise have shared a word.

　　1. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?

　　A. To invite authors to guide readers.

　　B. To encourage people to read and share.

　　C. To involve people in community service.

　　D. To promote the friendship between cities.

　　2. Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?

　　A .They had little interest in reading.

　　B. They were too busy to read a book.

　　C. They came from many different backgrounds

　　D. They lacked support from the local government

　　3. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?

　　A. In large communities with little sense of unity

　　B. In large cities where libraries are far from home

　　C. In medium-sized cities with a diverse population

　　D. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached

　　4. According to Nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged by

　　A. the careful selection of a proper book

　　B. the growing popularity of the writers

　　C. the number of people who benefit from reading.

　　D. the number of books that each person reads.

　　【2017高考英语模拟题】

　　Many Chinese high school students are fed up with their parents' nagging (唠叨). They think their parents' high expectations are a burden. But a recent survey found that they are much luckier than teenagers in Japan, the Republic of Korea and the US, who also find their parents constantly annoying. The parents of foreign teens have even higher expectations of their children than Chinese moms and dads.

　　Sixty-two per cent of Chinese fathers and 66 per cent of Chinese mothers have high expectations of their children at high school age.

　　They rank third and fourth among fathers and mothers of the four countries.

　　Japanese mothers top the list with 76 per cent having high expectations, while 70 per cent of Korean fathers expect too much of their children. Japanese teens are the most deeply troubled by their parents constantly comparing them with other kids.

　　The survey of high school students' views of life in China, Japan, South Korea and the US, was held in 156 high schools in the four countries. More than 7,000 teenagers were questioned.

　　The survey also found that with the smallest burden, Chinese students are the most satisfied with their parents. They blame them less, and also receive less criticism (批评) than students from the other three countries.

　　However, satisfaction doesn't mean they are happy. Of the four countries, Chinese children are not the happiest at home. They get the least praise from their parents and they don't feel able to express their unhappiness to them.

　　"Results from the survey show that despite different cultural backgrounds, generation gaps (代沟) exist in many countries other than China. It's even bigger elsewhere," said Sun Yunxiao, from the China Youth and Children Research Centre.

　　He said that Chinese parents are used to burying their feelings deep in their hearts. This makes their children not want to talk openly with them. "This survey shows that both parents and teenagers in China need to work on communicating and understanding each other."

　　Besides their family life, students were also questioned about their opinions on themselves and others in the world.

　　US students displayed more "individuality (个性)," with 88 per cent agreeing that "people should follow their own interests instead of those of others". Koreans were the next most independent, followed by the Chinese and Japanese.

　　But strong ambition (雄心) is observed in Chinese high schools. Only 41 per cent of high school students are content with "an average living", compared with Koreans at 48 per cent, the Japanese at 66 per cent and Americans at 72 per cent.

　　64.Why does the writer think Chinese high school students are much luckier than teenagers in Japan, the Republic of Korea and the US?

　　A. Because Chinese parents have less expectations of their children in the four countries

　　B. Because Chinese high school students are happy at homes.

　　C. Because Chinese high school students don’t have strong ambition.

　　D. Because there isn’t generation gap in China

　　65.Whose parents expect the most of their children?

　　A. Chinese mothers

　　B. Japanese fathers

　　C. Korean fathers

　　D. Chinese fathers

　　66.The following topics are discussed in the passage except______.

　　A. generation gap

　　B. parents’ expectation

　　C. independence

　　D. cultural backgrounds

　　67.Which order can best describe the ambition the students have in the four countries?

　　A. Korean students, Japanese students, American students, Chinese students,

　　B. Chinese students, American students, Japanese students, Korean students

　　C. Chinese students, Korean students, Japanese students, American students,

　　D. Japanese students, American students, Korean students, Chinese students
