　　2017浙江省宁海县高考英语阅读理解暑假练习（2）（答案）

　　【江西省吉安一中2017模拟】

　　阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　Few of us haven’t read Cinderella, the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone’s heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity (默默无闻).

　　Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.

　　Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer, Joey Parker, appears.

　　Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind, handsome and desirable. Mary and Joey’s paths cross at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn’t get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her.

　　The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale. Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.

　　“The movie takes the Cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point,” writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson. “Yet the focus is firmly on following your dream.”

　　61. The first paragraph is mainly to _________.

　　A. inform us of the importance to marry a prince

　　B. remind us why Cinderella is popular all the years

　　C. build interest and lead us to Mary’s secret dream

　　D. tell us how interesting the fairy tale Cinderella is

　　62. In the movie, Mary Santiago is the main character who _________.

　　A. is badly treated by the stepmother

　　B. is brave in expressing her love

　　C. has a dream of meeting a prince

　　D. is embarrassed by the pop singer

　　63. What can we infer from the passage?

　　A. Joey is just like other boys in Mary’s class.

　　B. The MP3 player helps Joey in finding Mary.

　　C. Not many people have a dream to be realized.

　　D. Mary’s mother influences her a lot in singing.

　　64. What does movie critic Amber Wilkinson mean by his words about Another Cinderella Story?

　　A. The movie is exactly another copy of the Cinderella fairytale.

　　B. The movie is as good as the story Cinderella.

　　C. The movie and Cinderella both focus on following your dream.

　　D. The movie is based on the story Cinderella while a little different from it.

　　65. The passage is mainly about _________.

　　A. an introduction to Mary Santiago

　　B. a review about a film

　　C. an essay about dreams

　　D. an advertisement of Cinderella

　　(A)

　　While in Banff, make time for a walk around town. A special treat is to go up the mountainside on the Banff Gondola for a surprising view of the valley below. Here is The pines, whose cook has developed a special way of mixing foreign food such as caribou, wild boar, and reindeer with surprising sauces.

　　Best time to visit is during the off-season, from early May to mid-June, or in October. This way you can avoid sharing the high way with mobile homes which can be pulled by cars. But whatever the season, take some lunch with you from Banff, because there are only a few food stops on the road.

　　Forty minutes north of Banff, side by side with the Banff National Park, sits world-famous Lake Louise. This surprisingly small body of water is attractive with towering mountains around it. Glaciers, huge masses of ice, moving very slowly against rocks, produce what is called glacier rock flour, making its water dark to see. It is worth taking a walk around the grounds of the Chateau Lake Louise, another beauty, proud of its early 20th century history.

　　Back on the road, and it’s time to continue north past the astonishing Columbia Icefield, then turn off the highway and take the short road to the base of the Athabaska Glacier. You can rent ice cleats (夹板) and do some climbing or do a more pleasant snowmobile tour. Either way, you can enjoy endless beautiful sights.

　　Finally you’ll reach Jasper, the usual turning around the place for the Banff-Jasper loop (回路). It’s worth riding the Jasper Skytram, and be sure to visit the wonderful Jasper Park Lodge, also dating back to the 1920s. If you can have lunch there, do it. The restaurant has an adventurous menu and their wine list would put a smile on any visitor’s face.

　　1. According to the passage, The Pines is a ________.

　　A. place in which you can see many mobile homes

　　B. mountain where you can get a good view of the valley

　　C. town which happens to be near the Banff National park

　　D. restaurant where you can ask for some special kinds of food

　　2. What will probably happen when visitors come at the end of June?

　　A. They may have trouble finding a restaurant.

　　B. They may come across traffic jams.

　　C. They may travel more easily with cars.

　　D. They may do much more sightseeing.

　　3. Similar to the Chateau Lake Louise, ________.

　　A. the Banff National Park is to the west of Banff

　　B. the Columbia Icefield lies between Lake Louise and the Banff National Park

　　C. the Jasper Skytram has a history of more than 80 years

　　D. the Jasper Park Lodge was built in the 1920s

　　4. Besides the beautiful sights in Jasper Park Lodge, visitors to Jasper can enjoy themselves by ________.

　　A. taking the Jasper Skytram and eating in the restaurant

　　B. taking the Banff-Jasper loop and Jasper Skytram

　　For several years, scientists have been testing a substance called interferon(干扰素), a possible wonder drug that is proving to be effective in treating a variety of diseases, including virus infections, bacterial infections, and cancers. To date, the new drug has no side effect of great influence to discourage its use.

　　But in spite of its success, last year only one gram was produced in the entire world.

　　The reason for the shortage lies in the structure of interferon. A special protein, the interferon produced from one animal species cannot be used in treating another animal species. In other words, to treat human beings, only interferon produced by human beings may be used. The drug is produced by infecting white blood cells with a virus. Fortunately, it is so effective that the amount given to each patient each time is very small.

　　Unlike antibiotics (抗生素), interferon does not attack germs directly. Instead, it protects healthy cells from being infected, and prevents the reproduction of viruses within cells.

　　As you might conclude, one of the most special uses of interferon has been in the treatment of cancer. Dr. Hans Strander, a research physician at Sweden’s famous Karolinska Institute, has treated more than one hundred cancer patients with the new drug. Among a group of selected patients who had received operations for advanced cancer, half were given

　　traditional treatments and the other half were given interferon. Among those treated with interferon 70 percent of them remained alive over three years, as compared with only 10 to 30 percent among those who had received the traditional treatments.

　　In the United States, a large-scale project supported by the American Cancer Society is now under way. If the experiment were successful, interferon could become one of the greatest medical discoveries of our time.

　　5.What is the difference between antibiotics and interferon?

　　A. Interferon has serious side effects, while antibiotics do not.

　　B. Antibiotics kill germs by attacking them directly, while interferon does not.

　　C. Antibiotics are very effective, while the effect of interferon is limited.

　　D. They are different in structure, although they are both proteins.

　　6. According to the passage, if 170 cancer patients received interferon treatment, how many of them would remain alive over three years?

　　A. About 30.

　　B. About 50.

　　C. About 120.

　　D. About 70.

　　7. The passage tells us that ________.

　　A. it is difficult to produce interferon in large quantities because of its special structure.

　　B. interferon is produced widely in lots of countries.

　　C. few of the patients who had received traditional treatments remained alive.

　　D. most of the patients who received interferon also needed traditional treatments.
