　　四川省简阳市2016高考英语阅读理解选练（7）

　　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。

　　People who are taking aspirin regularly to thin their blood and are about to undergo coronary artery bypass surgery (冠状动脉旁路搭桥术) are usually to stop the aspirin a week before the operation – but they could be better off if they keep taking it.

　　Taking aspirin up to the day coronary artery bypass grafting (移植) is performed seems to speed lung function recovery afterwards, without increasing the risk of bleeding significantly, according to a report from Israel.

　　Release of a substance called thromboxane (血栓素) is associated with lung injury after heart bypass grafting, Dr Rabin Gerrah at Assuta Medical Center in Tel Aviv and his colleagues explained in the medical journal Chest. Aspirin is believed to inhibit release of thromboxane, so Gerrah’s group theorized that the administration of aspirin until the day of the surgery could improve outcomes.

　　They therefore followed 14 patients who took 100 milligrams of aspirin daily until the day of the surgery and 18 who stopped taking aspirin at least 7 days before the surgery.

　　Those who continued with their aspirin had significantly lower thromboxane in fluid around the heart, better oxygen levels in their blood and spent less time on a ventilator(呼吸器) than the group who discontinued taking aspirin.

　　On the other hand, the need for blood transfusions was no different between the groups, indicating that bleeding complications were no worse with aspirin.

　　The researchers had excluded patients who had suffered a heart attack and those with heart failure because patients like these have a higher level of thrombaxane. “They will probably benefit even more than its inhibition.”

　　Based on their findings, Gerrah’s team recommends that aspirin therapy(治疗) not be discontinued before coronary artery bypass surgery.

　　A. doctors usually get people who will have coronary artery bypass surgery to stop taking aspirin 7 days before the operation

　　C. taking aspirin up to the day coronary artery bypass grafting is performed seems to slow lung function recovery afterwards

　　A. aspirin can make for release of thromboxane

　　B. aspirin is useful for patients suffering a heart attack

　　D. aspirin may improve recovery after heart bypass

　　3. According to Dr Rabin Gerrah, patients who will have heart bypass surgery should _______.

　　A. stop taking aspirin before the surgery

　　B. take aspirin as much as they like until the day of the surgery

　　C. be allowed to take 100 milligrams of aspirin daily until the day of the surgery

　　D. take aspirin after the heart bypass operation

　　B. to make something happen more slowly than normal

　　【参考答案】1—4、ADCB

　　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。

　　Maybe you never opened that account, but someone else did ——someone who used your name and personal information to commit fraud（造假）. When an imposter uses your name, your credit card number, or some other piece of your personal information for their own purpose –in short, when someone takes your personal information without your knowledge –it’s a crime, pure and simple.

　　The biggest problem is that you may not know your identity（身份）has been stolen until you notice that something’s wrong: you may get bills for a credit card account you never opened, your credit report may include debts you never knew you had, a billing cycle may pass without your receiving a statement, or you may see charges on your bills that you didn’t sign for, and even don’t know anything about.

　　If someone has stolen your identity, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) suggests that you take three actions immediately.

　　First, contact the fraud departments of each of the three major credit offices. Tell them to flag your file with a fraud alert（警告）including a statement that creditors should get your permission before opening any new accounts in your name.

　　Then, ask the credit offices for copies of your credit reports. Credit offices must give you a free copy of your report if it is not correct because of fraud. Review your reports carefully to make sure no additional fraudulent accounts have been opened in your name or unauthorized（侵权的）changes made to your present accounts. In a few months, order new copies of your reports to check your corrections and changes, and to make sure no new fraudulent activity has occurred.

　　1. What’s the subject discussed in the text?

　　A. What you should do if your credit card is stolen.

　　B. What you should do if your identity is stolen.

　　C. What an imposter always does to make money.

　　D. What the Federal Trade Commission is about.

　　答案解析：答案为 B。本题考查文章的主旨大意。本文的前半部分引出身份信息被盗的问题，后面的重点是告诉读者身份信息被盗后该如何做。故答案为B。

　　2. What should you do first when you find your identity is stolen?

　　A. Inform creditors not to open any new accounts in your name without your permission.

　　B. Ask for copies of your credit reports and make sure no other frauds have been made.

　　C. Keep ordering new copies to check what you have already changed and corrected.

　　D. Always lock your ID card in your cupboard in case it should be stolen.

　　答案解析：答案为A。本题为推理题。由倒数第二段可知，当发现个人身份信息被盗后，首先要联系防伪部门，让他们关注你的资料，警告债权人在用你的名字开任何新的账户前应该得到你的允许。故答案为A。

　　3. What is the most difficult thing for people to deal with identity frauds?

　　A. No measures can work on the billing cycle.

　　B. There is no strict law for this kind of behaviors.

　　C. It might be a long time before you realize that.

　　D. The FTC does nothing except for three suggestions.

　　答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节推理题。由文章第二段首句 “The biggest problem is that you may not know your identity has been stolen until you notice that something’s wrong…”可知，直到你注意出了问题后才知道身份信息被盗是最大的问题。故答案为C。

　　4. Which is the least possible if a fraud has happened to you?

　　A. You may have debts in your credit card.

　　B. You may find charges on your bills unauthorized.

　　C. A new credit card may be opened in your name.

　　D. The fraud departments can find out the imposter right away.

　　答案解析：答案为D。本题为推理题。由第二段冒号后面的内容可知，身份信息被盗后，你的信用卡会负债，你会收到未经授权的收费账单，还会出现以你的名字新开的信用卡。文中未提及防伪部门可以马上找到骗子，后文的措施也是在暗示找到骗子并不容易。故答案为D。

　　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。

　　There is, for many of us, a moment in life when we make a choice that changes us forever. This moment marks a turning point, when we realize that the life we're living is not a mirror of who we really are.

　　For some, the moment comes as a result of something dramatic: the sudden loss of a job, or the death of a loved one. For others, they have to deal with difficult situations, such as financial hardship. In these challenging times, it's more critical(关键时刻的) than ever for us to seize the possibility of positive change. As I travel and talk to people about their lives, I often see a distant, vacant look in their eyes -- a look that says “I’m so busy trying to survive my life that no soul left to live it”.

　　As a result, we end up feeling lonely. Yet we keep on going the way we've been going. We tolerate high levels of stress at work, take important relationships for granted, or put our health needs on hold. We get so caught up in the details of living that our busyness becomes an excuse from the inner voice that begs us to listen. When you finally pay attention to that little voice and begin to make even small changes, you will slowly improve yourself.

　　To start positive change, you need the power of your mind. I've come up with a five-step strategy that will help you. You will be able to identify what you want and then go after it. It's easier than you might think.

　　1. Reset your happiness set point. Don't limit yourself! When I decided that I wanted more control over my life, I set goals in physical, emotional, financial, professional, material, and play. I challenged myself to consider every possible choice. Imagine things you've never believed you could achieve. Don't let your past determine your future.

　　2. Trust your courage. Too often, when you're first learning to take control of your life, you doubt yourself. It's important to develop a strong connection with your inner guidance system. I've heard many stories about the persistent voice inside your head.

　　3. Take action. Once you have set goals, adjusted your beliefs, and got ready, you can start making things happen. Again, turn to those people you respect -- the ones achieving what you desire -- for support and guidance. They will both inspire you and give you practical advice on what steps you need to take.

　　4. Have faith. Believe that the positive energy of grace will support your efforts to improve your life. When you've done all you can, let go and trust that the right result will occur. When we have faith, we give up the need to be in control, and we set ourselves up to actually enjoy the process of change.

　　5. Be patient. This can be the toughest step. It's not easy to trust that your life will improve in a best way. Remind yourself of the benefits of patience. In my experience, those life changes are always worth the wait.

　　1. What does the author intend to say in the second paragraph?

　　A. The start of some turning points in one’s life is caused by crisis.

　　B. Loss of a job or the death of a loved one are all dramatic things.

　　C. No one can live a life without any turning points.

　　D. No one can predict his future of being good or not.

　　2. In the author’s opinion, we should ______________.

　　A. adjust our beliefs from time to time B. always control ourselves for anything

　　C. keep on going the way we are going D. seize the challenging times to live an active life

　　3. The author suggests that when setting your happiness set points, you should _______.

　　A. know the limitation of your set point

　　B. build self-confidence without doubt

　　C. limit your goals in different ways

　　D. consider every possible choice with care

　　4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

　　A. When you've done all you can, you may believe that the right result will occur.

　　B. When you set goals, and take action, it is possible to make things happen.

　　C. When you first learn to take charge of your life, you will always doubt yourself.

　　D. If things do not happen in a way that is best, patience is always worth the wait.
