黑龙江省大庆市2017高考英语阅读理解暑假练习(3)及答案
【湖北省2017高考英语《考试大纲》调研卷二模试题】D
Perhaps you've seen them on the playground, at preschool drop off, or piano lessons.Or even on the small screen, in TV shows like Up All Night. They are: the stay-at-home dads, and lately,it seems,they're everywhere.
The latest research shows that 32 percent of dads regularly care for their children and among those with preschool-age kids, one in five dads is the primary caregiver. In families where moms work, that figure rises to nearly one in three. Stay-at-home dads have become so common that even toy makers are catering to them.
A recent study finds that today's full-time fathers aren't trying to be "Mr Moms"— instead, they're carving out their own unique roles as parents. I spoke with some experienced stay-at-home dads, who agreed that their parenting style tends to be more rough-and-tumble." I do let the kids take more risks on the playground, whereas my wife tends to get nervous that they'll fall and hurt themselves," says Kyle, 38, an artist.
In addition, as there are more and more stay-at-home dads, they are turning to each other for support. They create Meetup groups and holding "Dads' Nights Out". Kyle admits he has noticed a shift recently. "Several years ago, I was checking out at the grocery store with the kids, and the cashier was very curious why I was buying groceries instead of my wife. I told her that I was a full-time dad, and she commented, 'Wow, I have never met one of you before.' Now, my next-door neighbor is a dad who stays at home and we often trade off watching the kids after school."
As for my own husband, although he admits that being a full-time dad is challenging, he is also proud of the strong bond that he has developed with our daughter, which will offer her benefits that last for years. Children with caring, involved dads tend to have higher IQs, more confidence, and do better in school. They are also less likely to experience depression or get into trouble, and have better social skills.
63. Why are toy makers catering to stay-at-home dads?
A. Kids enjoy playing with them.
B. Kids like toys bought by them.
C. They are bread-winner in the family.
D. They influence the choices their kids make.
64. According to Paragraph 3, stay-at-home dads_____.
A. can never replace moms' love
B. can be as good at parenting as moms
C. try to copy moms' parenting style
D. differ from moms in parenting styles
65. What changes has Kyle noticed recently?
A. The founding of Meetup groups.
B. The change of people’s attitude towards men.
C. The increase in the number of stay-at-home dads.
D. The development of new communication methods.
66. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The future trend of stay-at-home dads.
B. The benefits of stay-at-home dads for kids.
C. The changes stay-at-home dads experience.
D. The disadvantages stay-at-home dads cause.
【解题导语】随着社会的发展,全职爸爸越来越多。他们对社会及家庭教育带来了重大影响。
【长难句解读】 As for my own husband,although he admits that being a full-time dad is challenging,he is also proud of the strong bond that he has developed with our daughter, which will offer her benefits that last for years.
分析:这是一个主从复合句。although he admits that being a full-time dad is challenging 是让步状语从句;that he has developed with our daughter 是定语从句,修饰先行词 bond;which will offer her benefits that last for years 是非限制性定语从句。
译文:对于我自己的丈夫来说,尽管做一名全职爸爸是个挑战,但是他也对他和女儿形成的密切关系感到自豪,这将会让女儿受益若干年。

社会生活类
Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?
Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbacks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.
Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.
1. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge
B. cinemas are the best choice in getting information
C. reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun
D. newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself
2. What does the sentence“Television has not killed reading, however”underlined in the second paragraph suggest?
A. People only need reading, though.
B. Reading is still necessary today.
C. Reading is more fun that television.
D. Watching television doesn’t help reading.
3. Which of the following is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?
A. Types of books.
B. Kinds of dictionaries.
C. Lists of history books.
D. Collections of stories and poems.
4. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Fewer and fewer people will buy books.
B. A good dictionary should be kept in every home.
C. Books with hard covers sell better than paperbacks.
D. More people like TV programs about famous men.

【广西省南宁市2017高考英语模拟试题】D
In many countries there is a fixed charge for personal services. A certain percentage may be added to the bill at a hotel or restaurant for the service. In other places, the customer may be expected to give a tip, or a small amount of money, as a sign of appreciation whenever services are performed. In the United States, there is no consistent (一致的) practice in regard to tipping. The custom is more common in a large city than in a small town. A native American may often be in doubt about when and how much to tip when he is in a city that is strange to him. In general, however, a tip is expected by the porter who carries your baggage, by taxi drivers (except, perhaps in a small town), and by those serve you in hotels and restaurants.
When you pick up your incoming luggage at an airport, you may tip the man who takes it to the taxi or airport bus. He usually expects 35 cents a bag for his service. In some cities the taxi that takes you to your hotel may have one meter(仪表) that shows the cost of the trip and another that shows the cost of the tip and another that shows a fixed charge, usually about 20 cents, for extra. In some cities the taxi driver may expect a tip in addition to the extra, especially if he carries your suitcase. If no extra is charged, a tip is usually given. Hotels generally do not make a service charge, though there are places where one is added. It is customary, however, to give something to the porter who carries your suitcases and shows you to your room. In case of doubt, 35 cents for each bag he carries is satisfactory. In a restaurant you generally leave about 15 percent of the bill in small change on that table as a tip for the person who has served you. A service charge is generally not included except in some of the larger, more expensive places. If the order is small -- a cup of coffee at a lunch counter, or something of the sort--a tip is not usually expected .
68. According to the passage, the practice of giving tips ________.
A. varies from place to place in the USA
B. is consistent throughout the world
C. is consistent in large towns in the USA
D. is consistent in small towns in the USA
69. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Extra is a fixed charge in some cities.
B. Extra is similar to a tip in some cases.
C. If the extra is paid, one doesn’t tip any more. D. Some hotels require people to pay a service charge.
70. According to the passage, the amount of money for a tip ________.
A. is the same across restaurants and hotels
B. depends on how much one pays for the service he gets
C. generally varies according to the size of one’s bag in hotel
D. is usually small for a cup of coffee at a lunch counter
71. From the passage we learn that ________.
A. Americans sometimes are not sure how to tip
B. people in large towns know more about tipping
C. one has to tip no matter how big or small the order is
D. people sometimes don’t tip when they are not satisfied

较难题目特训:科普知识类
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.
55. From the passage we know that_______.
A. doctors usually get people who will have coronary artery bypass surgery to stop taking aspirin 7 days before the operation
B. aspirin is believed to increase release of thromboxane
C. taking aspirin up to the day coronary artery bypass grafting is performed seems to slow lung function recovery afterwards
D. patients suffering a heart attack have a lower level of thromboxane
56. The purpose of the passage is to introduce to us that _________.
A. aspirin can make for release of thromboxane
B. aspirin is useful for patients suffering a heart attack
C. different ways turn out to be the same result
D. aspirin may improve recovery after heart bypass
57. 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
58. What does the underlined word “inhibit” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. to become larger or better than normal
B. to make something happen more slowly than normal
C. to cause to be nervous or embarrassed
D. to improve something in poor condition
