2017届高考英语一轮专题复习阅读理解训练（6）含答案

　　Students who date (约会）in middle school have significantly worse study skills, are four times more likely to drop out of school and report twice as much alcohol and tobacco use than their single classmates, according to new research from the University of Georgia.

　　"Romantic relationships are a trademark of adolescence ，but very few studies have examined how adolescents differ in the development of these relationships," said Pamela Orpinas ，study author and professor in the College of Public Health and head of the Department of Health Promotion and Behavior.

　　Orpinas followed a group of 624 students over a seven-year period from 6th to 12th grade.

　　Each year, the group of students completed a survey indicating whether they had dated and reported the frequency of different behaviors, including the use of drugs and alcohol. Their teachers completed questionnaires (调查表）about the students* academic efforts. He found some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school, and these students had consistently the best study skills according to their teachers. Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school.

　　"At all points in time, teachers rated the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and the students with the highest dating as having the worst study skills,'1 according to the journal article. Study skills refer to behaviors that lead to academic success such as doing work for extra credit being well organized, finishing homework, working hard and reading assigned chapters.

　　"Dating a classmate may have the same emotional complications of dating a co-worker," Orpinas said, "when the couple break up. they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps witness the ex-partner dating someone else. It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression and divert (转移）attention from studying.”

　　4tDating should not be considered a ceremony of growth in middle school，”Orpinas concluded.

　　A、D项中，选出最佳选项，并在 答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　A

　　It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn't see some rain soon we would lose everything.

　　I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously walking with a great effort... trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.

　　Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.

　　He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he held in them. Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site.

　　Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap up the water cupped in my beautiful boy's hand.

　　I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life. As the tears that.rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops... and more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, Himself, was weeping with pride.

　　(2017·苏锡常镇四市二调，C)

　　Global Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These

　　satellitebased systems provide turnbyturn directions to help people get to where they want to

　　go. But they can also cause a lot of problems, sending you to the wrong place or leave you

　　completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most

　　often, says Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two.

　　Barry Brown is with the Mobile Life Centre in Stockholm, Sweden. The center studies

　　humancomputer interaction, or HCI, especially communications involving wireless devices. We

　　spoke to Mr Brown by Skype. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to

　　an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPSequipped car to use during his

　　stay.

　　Barry Brown：“And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination.”

　　And, then it wasn't until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they had put in a

　　destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in. So

　　again, the_GPS_is_kind_of_“garbage_in_garbage_out”．

　　Mr Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse

　　has to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment.

　　Barry Brown：“One problem with many GPS units is they have a very small screen and they

　　just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it

　　is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it's going to the wrong

　　place.”

　　Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego.

　　While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The

　　two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in people's cars. They

　　wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving

　　with GPS.”

　　Barry Brown: “One of the things that struck us, perhaps the most important thing was that you have to know what you're doing when you use a GPS. There are these new skills that people have developed. There are these new competencies that you need to have to be able to use a GPS because they sometimes go wrong.”

　　Barry Brown says this goes against a common belief that GPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational (导航) skills.

　　“The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS” lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.

　　Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。GPS全球定位系统可以帮助人们找到想去的地方，但GPS也会带来许多问题，所以使用GPS全球定位系统是否可靠变得不确定。

　　5．What is the best title for this passage?

　　A．Is GPS system reliable to use?

　　B．What is the use of GPS?

　　C．How to make the most of GPS?

　　D．Blame! GPS or Passengers?

　　答案：A　标题概括题。文章第一段是全文的主旨段。根据第一段可知，GPS全球定位系统可以帮助人们找到想去的地方，但GPS也会导致许多问题，所以使用GPS全球定位系统是否可靠变得不确定。所以A项最适合做文章的标题，故答案选A。

　　6．What is the implication of the underlined part?

　　A．GPS is just a garbage device.

　　B．GPS will not correct human errors.

　　C．GPS adjusts your wrong destination.

　　7．Which is NOT mentioned as a GPS shortcoming in the passage?

　　A．Small screen.

　　B．Timing of commands.

　　C．Outdated maps.

　　D．Dear cameras GPS uses.

　　答案：D　细节理解题。根据文章第五段第一句可知，A项是GPS的缺点；根据文章倒数第二段可知，B、C两项均是GPS的缺点。所以只有D项不是GPS的缺点。故答案选D。

　　8．According to the passage, people commonly believe that ________.

　　A．you have to know where to go when using GPS

　　B．you need to have new competencies to use GPS well

　　C．GPS is proper for drivers with little sense of direction

　　(2017·东北三省三校第二次联考，C)

　　UGG boots have been a winterweather fashion for several years now, combining function, comfort, warmth and even some style. What many UGGenthusiasts don't know is that their boots are a breeding ground for bacteria and cause foot problems.

　　Doctors believe the boots, which are particularly popular among young teenage girls, are leading to a rise in the number of people suffering pains in their feet and knees.

　　Dr. Ian Drysdale, head of the British College of Osteopathic Medicine, believes because the foot does not get the proper support on the inside, it will lead to more ankle, knee, hip and back problems. “These boots are not designed for outside wear. Just because something becomes a trend or fashionable doesn't mean it's good or right，” he said. “The particular problem with this type of footwear is that it is unsupported. It's a slipper. You wouldn't normally expect to be doing outdoor activities from something that's indoor. If you decide to wear your pajamas outside all the time, someone will come up and say it's not a good idea.” Dr. Drysdale explained that the feet issues become a particular problem among young teenage girls, whose bones are “plastic” and developing when they are growing. “If that structure is developing in an inappropriate way，” he said，“then the ultimate structure will be deformed.”

　　Mike O'Neill, a consultant surgeon, said，“As the foot slides around, you get wear and tear

　　(磨损) on the joints on the inside of the foot. The ankle is in the wrong position, the thigh bone also changes position, and you get an abnormal movement in the pelvis, which leads to back problems.”

　　UGG Australia, who makes the designer version of the boots, told The Daily Wirror that their boots are “comfort” rather than “performance” footwear and consumers should be aware of “knockoffs (仿制品)” which lack reinforced heels in their boots.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了雪地靴因它的时尚、舒适、保暖等特性而备受年轻女孩的青睐。但研究人员发现，在它时尚的外观背后，隐藏着一些不为人知的健康隐患。

　　9．Teenage girls prefer to wear UGG boots because of the following EXCEPT ________.

　　A．design

　　B．comfort

　　C．quality

　　D．warmth

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句“... combining function, comfort, warmth and even some style.”可知，A、B、D三项都是年轻女孩喜欢雪地靴的原因。故C项正确。

　　10．According to Dr. Ian Drysdale, ________.

　　A．there is a possibility that bacteria will multiply in UGG boots

　　B．wearing UGG boots will lead to more ankle and toe problems

　　C．it's not a good idea to wear boots like UGG outside all the time

　　D．teenage girls' bones are plastic enough to wear UGG boots

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“‘These boots are not designed for outside wear. Just because something becomes a trend or fashionable doesn't mean it's good or right，’ he said. ‘The particular problem with this type of footwear is that it is unsupported.’”可知，C项正确。

　　11．The underlined word “deformed” is closest in meaning to ________.

　　A．shaped

　　B．strengthened

　　C．reformed

　　D．damaged

　　答案：D　词义猜测题。由语境可知，年轻女孩子的骨头正在发育，具有一定的可塑性。如果骨骼结构以一种不合适的方式发育的话，骨骼就会损伤，发生变形。shaped合适的，有计划的；strengthened使加强的；reformed革新的；damaged损伤的，毁坏的。此处与倒数第二段中“back problems”相照应。故D项正确。

　　12．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

　　A．Potential Harm of UGG Boots

　　B．The Popularity of UGG Boots

　　C．The Unique Design of UGG Boots

　　D．Benefits of UGG Boots

　　答案：A　标题概括题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了雪地靴对年轻女孩生长发育过程中所造成的潜在危害。故A项正确。
