　　河北省武强县2017高考英语阅读理解一轮限时训练题（11）及答案

　　【陕西省西工大附中2017第七次适应性训练】

　　阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。’s（加沙）first organ transplants for a long-term plan to train local medical staff to perform the operations.

　　Two patients underwent kidney（肾脏）transplants at the Shifa, Gaza’s biggest public hospital. The operations were conducted a fortnight ago by a volunteer medical team from the Royal Liverpool hospital.

　　Ziad Matouk, 42, was born with one kidney and was diagnosed with renal failure（肾衰竭）several years ago. Matouk, whose wife donated one of her kidneys, hopes to return to his job within six months. The couple had sought a transplant in Cairo, but were rejected as unsuitable at a state hospital and could not afford the fee at a private hospital. “We were desperate,” said Matouk.

　　The UK-Gaza link-up began about a year ago after Abdelkader Hammad, a doctor at the Royal Liverpool hospital, was contacted by an anaesthetist（麻醉师）at the Shifa, who outlined the difficulties the Gaza hospital was facing with dialysis（透析）. The Shifa is forced to rely on generators because of power cuts; spare parts for its ageing dialysis machines have been difficult to import; and supplies of consumables are often scarce. After an exploratory trip last April, Hammad---whose family is Palestinian---and three colleagues from Liverpool arrived in Gaza via Egypt last month, bringing specialist equipment. Two patients were selected for surgery. The first, Mohammed Duhair, 42, received a kidney donated by his younger brother in a six-hour operation. Two days later, Matouk received a transplant after his wife, Nadia, 36, was found to be a good match. The surgeon was carried out by the British team, assisted by doctors and nurses from the Shifa. “We are very satisfied with the results,” said Sobbi Skaik, head of surgery at the Gaza hospital.

　　Skaik hopes that Gaza medical teams will eventually carry out kidney transplants independently, and that other organ transplants may follow. The Shifa is working with the Gaza ministry of health on a plan to train its doctors, surgeons, nursing staff and laboratory technicians in transplant surgery at the Royal Liverpool. “Funding is a problem,” said Hammad. “In the meantime we’ll go back as volunteers to Gaza for the next couple of years to do more transplants.” The Liverpool team’s next visit is scheduled for May.

　　49. What effect does Gaza’s first organ transplants hopes to get?

　　A. Helping poor Gaza people to regain health to make more money.

　　B. Releasing Gaza hospitals’ pressure of lack of professional doctors.

　　C. Assisting the Royal Liverpool hospital in perfecting their operations.

　　D. Calling for international attention at Gaza’s poor medical service.

　　50. Why did the state hospital refuse to practice surgeon for Ziad Matouk?

　　A. Because he couldn’t afford the fee at a public hospital.

　　B. Because the hospital didn’t accept dangerous patients.

　　C. Because they couldn’t find a matched organ.

　　D. Because his condition was untreatable.

　　51. What is the beginning of the cooperation between the Royal Liverpool hospital and Gaza?

　　A. A UK doctor contacted Gaza hospital.

　　B. The Shifa imported medical machines from UK.

　　C. Ziad Matouk’s condition seemed to get worse.

　　D. A Shifa doctor turned to Royal Liverpool hospital for help.

　　52. What did Dr. Hammad and his team do recently?

　　A. They had an exploratory trip in Egypt last April.

　　B. They carried out surgeries to test Gaza’s medical equipment.

　　C. They carried out two transplant surgeries in Gaza.

　　D. They sought assistance from the hospital of the Shifa.

　　C8 [2017·大纲全国卷] ----E

　　The oldest and most common source(来源)of renewable energy known to man, biomass is one of the most important forms of energy production in the United States and elsewhere.Since such a wide variety of biomass materials is everywhere—from trees and grasses to agricultural and city－life wastes—biomass promises to play a continuing role in providing power and heat for millions of people around the world.

　　According to the Union of Concerned Scientists(UCS), biomass is a kind of renewable energy source that produces no carbon dioxide(二氧化碳), because the energy it contains comes from the sun.When plant matter is burned, it gives off the sun's energy.In this way, biomass serves as a sort of natural battery(电池)for storing the sun's energy.As long as biomass is produced continuously—with only as much grown as is used—the “battery” lasts forever.

　　According to the Energy Information Administration, biomass has been one of the leading renewable energy sources in the United States for several years running through 2007, making up between 0.5 and 0.9 percent of the nation's total electricity supply.In 2008—although the numbers aren't all in yet—wind power probably took over first place because of the rapid development of wind farms across the country.

　　Producing power from biomass helps reduce some 11 million tons of carbon dioxide each year.Some homeowners also try to make their own heat by using biomass materials.Such practice may save homeowners' money, but it also produces a lot of pollution.So, the best way is to encourage power plants to use it.

　　72．Why is biomass considered as “a sort of natural battery”？

　　A．It burns merely plant matter.

　　B．It keeps producing electricity.

　　C．It stores the energy from the sun.

　　D．It produces zero carbon dioxide.

　　73．We learn from the text that in 2008

　　________．

　　A．wind power could

　　be the leader of renewable energy

　　B. there was a rapid growth of electricity production

　　C．biomass might become the main energy source

　　D．0.5～0.9% of power supply came from biomass

　　74．Why does the author encourage power plants to use biomass?

　　A．To prevent the waste of energy.

　　B．To increase production safety.

　　C．To reduce pollution.

　　D．To save money.

　　75．Where does the text probably come from?

　　A．A research plan.

　　B．A science magazine.

　　C．A book review.

　　D．A business report.

　　【要点综述】 本文是一篇科技说明文。文章介绍了biomass(生物量)的特征、优点以及它在美国能源中的地位。

　　72．C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“…because the energy it contains comes from the sun.When plant matter is burned, it gives off the sun's energy.In this way, biomass serves as a sort of natural battery for storing the sun's energy.”可知C正确。

　　73．A　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In 2008—although the numbers aren't all in yet—wind power probably took over first place because of the rapid development of wind farms across the country.”可知，2008年风能占居首位。关键词定位：A项中的the leader of 和文中first place意思相同。

　　74．C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Some homeowners also try to make their own heat by using biomass materials.Such practice may save homeowners' money, but it also produces a lot of pollution.So, the best way is to encourage power plants to use it.”可知C正确。

　　75．B　推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，本文是一篇有关生物量能源的科普类文章。所以，它应该是科学杂志上的文章。故选B。

　　[2017·湖北卷] ----D

　　The technology is great.Without it we wouldn't have been able to put a man on the moon, explore the ocean's depths or eat microwave sausages.Computers have revolutionized our lives and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge.But sometimes this power can create more problems than it solves.

　　Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients who've come into their surgery waving an Internet print－out, convinced that they have some rare incurable disease, say, throat cancer.The truth is usually far more ordinary, though: they don't have throat cancer, and it's just that their throats are swollen.Being a graduate of the Internet “school” of medicine does not guarantee accurate self－health－checks.

　　One day Mrs.Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint at work.While I took her blood sample and tried to find out what was wrong, she said calmly, “I know what's wrong; I've got throat cancer.I know there's nothing you doctors can do about it and I've just got to wait until the day comes.”

　　As a matter of routine I ordered a chest X－ray.I looked at it and the blood results an hour later.Something wasn't right.“Did your local doctor do an X－ray？” I asked.“Oh, I haven't been to the doctor for years，” she replied.“I read about it on a website and the symptoms fitted, so I knew that's what I had.”

　　However, some of her symptoms, like the severe cough and weight loss, didn't fit with it—but she'd just ignored this.

　　I looked at the X－ray again, and more tests confirmed it wasn't the cancer but tuberculosis (肺结核)—something that most certainly did need treating, and could be deadly.She was lucky we caught it when we did.

　　Mrs Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to ensure that she was fully recovered.It was certainly a lesson for her.“I'm_so_embarrassed，” she said, shaking her head, as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested.She listed up to about 20, and then I went to my office to type up my notes.Unexpectedly, the computer was not working, so I had to wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it.Typical.Maybe I should have a microwave sausage while I waited?

　　63．Mrs Almond talked about her illness calmly because ________．

　　A．she thought she knew it well

　　B．she had purchased medicine online

　　C．she graduated from a medical school

　　D．she had been treated by local doctors

　　64．It was lucky for Mrs Almond ________．

　　A．to have contacted many friends

　　B．to have recovered in a short time

　　C．to have her assumption confirmed

　　D．to have her disease identified in time

　　65．Mrs Almond said “I'm so embarrassed” (Para.7) because ________．

　　A．she had distrusted her close friends

　　B．she had caused unnecessary trouble

　　C．she had to refuse the doctor's advice

　　D．she had to tell the truth to the doctor

　　66．By mentioning the breakdown of the computer, the author probably wants to prove ________．

　　A．it's a must to take a break at work

　　B．it's vital to believe in IT professionals

　　C．it's unwise to simply rely on technology

　　D．it's a danger to work long hours on computers

　　【要点综述】 本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述技术带来的问题比它解决的更多。作者以人们看病为例：人们感觉不舒服后，从网上查阅一下资料，看看自己的症状与癌症非常相符，因此失去了对生活的信心。而实际上，他们只不过是患了另外一种不严重的病。

　　63．A 　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“…she said calmly ‘I know what's wrong; I've got throat cancer.I know … ”知这位病人已经从网上知道自己得了癌症，也活不了几天了，因此她很平静。故A正确。

　　64．D 　细节理解题。根据第六段的最后一句“She was lucky we caught it when we did.”再结合此句前的肺结核可知，对Mrs Almond来说，幸运的事情是她的病及时地得到了确诊。故D正确。

　　65．B 　推理判断题。根据目标句子前的“It was certainly a lesson for her.”可知，她很后悔由于自己的莽撞而导致了一些不必要的麻烦。故B正确。

　　66．C 　推理判断题。电脑坏了，等着计算机公司的人来修。由此可知，作者认为我们仅依靠科技是不明智的。故C正确。
