2017届青岛市高三英语一轮阅读理解训练（6）及答案

　　青岛市2017高考英语阅读理解选练（6）及答案（一轮）

　　【广东省汕头市2017模拟】

　　阅读理解阅读下列四篇短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)?When someone tells you something that is true，but leaves out important information that should be included，he can give you a false picture．For example，someone might say, ''I just won a hundred．dollars on the lottery(彩票)．It was great．I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!"．This guy's a winner，right? Maybe，maybe not．We then discover that he bought$200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner．He’s really a big loser! He didn't say anything that was false，but he left out important information on purpose．That's called a half-truth．Half truths are not technically lies，but they are just as dishonest．

　　Some politicians often use this trick．Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term，her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs．Then she seeks another term．One of her opponents says, “During Governor Smith’s term，the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true．However，an honest statement would have been，“During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”

　　Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths．It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth．An advertisement might say，''Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache．'' It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company．

　　This kind of deception happens too often．It’s a sad fact of life：Lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can 1ie as well．

　　The underlined word“opponents”in Paragraph 3 means

　　．

　　A．enemy

　　B．partner

　　C．cooperator

　　D．assistant

　　We may infer that the author believes people should

　　．

　　A：．buy lottery tickets if possible

　　B．make use of half-truths

　　C．be careful about what they are told D．not trust the Yucky Company

　　How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?

　　A．One．

　　B．Two．

　　C．Three．D．Four．

　　Which of the following is true according to the passage?

　　A．Using half truths is against the law．

　　B．Technically，half truths are in fact lies．

　　C．Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache．

　　D．Governor Smith did a good job during her last term．M1ich of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?

　　A．He’s really a big loser!

　　B．Sometimes the truth can lie as well．

　　C．Advertisers will sometimes use half truths．

　　D．It’s against the law to make false statements．

　　(2017·广州市统考)America's Top 4 Tourist Attractions

　　Below you'll find the most popular travel and vacation destinations in the US.

　　1．Times Square，New York City

　　This Manhattan crossroads of commerce is the top spot on our list，thanks to increasing visitors to the Big Apple in 2008 despite the economic turndown.According to statistics，“80% of visitors to NYC make it a point to visit Times Square.”Total NYC visits last year were 47 million，giving us an estimate of 37.6 million travelers through the“Crossroads of the World”．

　　2．The Las Vegas Strip，Nev.

　　The“Neon Trail”that makes up the heart of Sin City is also part of the federal government's National Scenic Byways Program，which designates roads based on “archeological，cultural，historic，natural，recreational and scenic qualities”．Hard to say which of these qualities best describes Vegas，but we can disqualify“natural”．Last year，total visitors to Las Vegas numbered 37.5 million；a poll by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority found that an average of 80% of visitors had either stayed overnight or gambled(赌博)on the Strip.

　　3．National Mall and Memorial Parks，Washington，D.C.

　　Many of the nation's iconic(图标的)public landmarks are found in the 1,000－plus acres of the National Mall and Memorial Parks，including the Washington Monument，the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials，and the Korean and Vietnam War Veterans memorials.The Smithsonian Institution's 19 museums are also close to the Mall；last year，the network of free museums drew more than 25 million visitors.

　　4．Faneuil Hall Marketplace，Boston

　　Built in 1742 by Peter Faneuil，a wealthy Boston merchant，Faneuil Hall served as a commercial center of the city for centuries and a site for famous orations(演说)，like Samuel Adams' independence－rallying speech to colonists.Faneuil also includes the restored 19th－century Quincy Market.Today，shoppers account for a large share of visitors.Faneuil's historic significance vaults it to the status of cultural attraction，attracting 20 million visitors every year.

　　It was the first snow of winter—an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now, I had been old enough to dress myself, but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, had been through first snow days many times, but I think she may still remember this one.

　　I managed to get into my wool snow trousers. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots (靴子).

　　In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence (信心).

　　I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected grown-ups to do all the work. After much pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.

　　I announced, “They’re on the wrong feet.”

　　She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.

　　"They’re my brother’s boots, you know, “ I said. “I hate them!”

　　Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying (烦人的)little girl. She pushed and pushed, less gently this time. With a greater sigh, seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, “Now, where are your mittens (连指手套)?”

　　I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.”

　　1. The little girl was more satisfied with her　.　

　　A. trousers B. jacketC. boots D. hat

　　2. Miss Finlayson had difficulty with the girl’s boots mainly because　.　

　　A. the girl got them from her brother

　　B. the girl put something in them

　　C. they were on the wrong feet

　　D. they did not fit the girl well

　　3. Why does the author say Miss Finlayson would remember that first snow day?

　　A. Because the little girl was in her brother’s clothes.

　　B. Because it was the most exciting day of the winter.

　　C. Because the little girl played a trick on her.

　　D. Because the little girl wore a pretty scarf.

　　4. We can learn from the text that Miss Finlayson　.　

　　A. was losing confidence in the little girl

　　B. gradually lost patience with the little girl

　　C. became disappointed with the little girl

　　D. was getting bored with the little girl
