2016重庆万州市高考英语一轮阅读理解选练（1）及答案

　　阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　Leadership is the most significant word in today’s competitive business environment because it directs the manager of a business to focus inward on their personal abilities and style. Experts on leadership will quickly point out that “how things get done” influences the success of the outcomes and indicates a right way and a wrong way to do things. When a noted leader on the art of management, Peter Drucker, coined the phrase“Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things”, he was seeking to clarify the distinctions he associates with the terms. When Stephen Covey, founder and director of the Leadership Institute, explored leadership styles in the past decade, he focused on the habits of a great number of highly effective individuals. His Seven Habits of Highly Effective People became a popular bestseller very quickly. His ideas forced a reexamination of the early leadership example, which centered on the feature that was found in the character ethic(道德准则) and the personality ethic. The former ethic suggested success was founded on modesty, loyalty, courage, patience and so on. The personality ethic suggested it was one’s attitude, not behavior, that inspired success, and this ethic was founded on a belief of positive mental attitude. In contrast to each of these ideas, Covey advocates that leaders need to understand universal principles of effectiveness, and he highlights how vital it is for leaders to first personally manage themselves if they are to enjoy any hope of outstanding success in their work environments. To achieve a desired vision for your business, it is essential that you have a personal vision of where you are headed and what you value. Business leadership means that managers need to “put first things first,” which implies that before leading others, you need to be clear on your own values, abilities, and strengths and be seen as trustworthy.

　　A. Leaders should be good at making right decisions.

　　B. Leaders should be good at doing things right.

　　B. They are supposed to benefit themselves.

　　March 22, 20II---Most restaurants in the United States offer their customers a glass of tap water at no charge with their meal, but this week many restaurants are asking dinners to pay a dollar, or more, for a glass of water. Cards on their tables explain that this small amount helps bring clean water to children around the world. It’s called the UNICEF Tap Project.

　　“UNICEF’s Tap Project is really all about bringing attention to the fact that over 900 million people around the globe do not have access to good, clean, healthy drinking water,” says Cary Stem, who heads the US Fund for UNICEF. She adds that water-borne illness is the second-highest cause of preventable childhood death in the world.

　　“Each and every day approximately 4,100 children die just because they don’t have that access - 4,100 every single day.”

　　The public service campaign encourages people to help change that statistic with a simple, affordable action: paying a dollar to get a glass of tap water at a restaurant.

　　“One dollar buys enough good, clean water for a child for 40 days,” Stem says.

　　“The tap project has expanded since it began five years ago with 300 restaurants in New York City. This year, Stem says, about 3,000 restaurants across the country are participating in the campaign. We raised about $2.5 million over the last five years of this campaign,” says Stem. “Last year, we raised over $1 million for the first time. This year we’re hoping to top that.”

　　Stem credits the continued success of the campaign to an army of volunteers who support the tap project and raise money in their communities.

　　The UNICEF Tap Project is promoting its efforts with a simple motto: when you take water, give water. Currently, UNICEF works in more than 100 countries around the world to improve access to safe water and sanitation facilities in schools and communities.

　　Stem hopes that, by participating in the project, more Americans will realize that what they often take for granted is a precious and scarce resource in many other parts of the world.

　　72. Restaurants began to charge for tap water to _______.

　　A. increase their profit

　　B. urge customers to save water

　　C. raise people’s awareness of the world water problem

　　D. collect money for those without access to safe water

　　73. We can learn from the text that the Tap Project ________.

　　A. began in New York City

　　B. was started by volunteers

　　C. is hoping to collect $2.5 million this year

　　D. provides help for 1,000 countries in the world

　　74. It can be learned that _______.

　　A. the Tap Project began in 2006

　　B. America suffers a serious problem

　　C. 4,100 children die of water pollution every year

　　D. water-borne illnesses are the biggest killer of children

　　75. How does Cary Stem feel about the work of the Tap Project?

　　A. Concerned

　　B. Hopeful

　　C. Disappointed

　　【2017高考英语福建省联考试卷】

　　A month went by in this manner , but a month was all I could bear .

　　The memory of Marguerite accompanied me wherever I went . I had loved that woman --- still loved her --- too much for her suddenly to mean nothing to me . Whatever feelings I might have for her now , I had to see her again . At once .

　　…

　　I knew Marguerite . Meeting me so unexpectedly must have thrown her into a state of great confusion . Probably , she had heard of my departure which had set her mind at rest as to the consequences of our sudden parting . But , seeing me back and coming face to face with me , pale as I was , she had sensed that my return had a purpose , and must have wondered what was going to happen .

　　If , when I saw her again , Marguerite had been unhappy ; if , in taking my revenge （复仇）, there had also been some way of helping her , then I might well have forgiven her , and would certainly never have dreamed of doing her any harm . But when I saw her again , she was happy , at least on the surface . Another man had ensured her the luxury （奢侈）in which I had been unable to keep her . She brought shame both to my pride and my love ; she was going to have to pay for what I had suffered .

　　I could not remain indifferent （冷漠）to what she did now . It followed that the thing that would hurt her most would be exactly for me to show indifference . Indifference , therefore , was the feeling which I now needed to pretend , not only in her presence but in the eyes of others .

　　I tried to put a smile on my face , and I went to call on Prudence with whom Marguerite was staying .

　　…

　　Prudence saw me to the door , and I returned to my apartment with tears of anger in my eyes and thirst for revenge in my heart and thought only of finding a way to make the poor creature suffer .

　　64. This passage is most probably _______________ of a love story .

　　A. the beginning

　　B. the introduction

　　C. a summary

　　【2017高考英语福建省联考试卷】D

　　I feel it enormous responsibility, as a mother of two little girls, to lead you down a path that is relatively healthy when it comes to beauty and self-image.

　　In a lot of women’s eyes I’ve probably already failed in that respect due to the amount of pink princess Barbie (芭比娃娃) mess cluttering up (堆满) Vera’s room. But I will say something about Barbie: I played with that stuff for a solid decade when I was growing up and here I am now at a healthy weight with a healthy outlook on my body and image. I have a successful career. If Barbie was really so damaging to my femininity (女性气质) and self-image I highly doubt I could list all of the accomplishments.

　　But I get it too. It’s hard for women to maintain a healthy self-image. I have girlfriends around whom I have to brace myself to see, because just being around them makes me self-conscious. I look at old pictures of my mother and wonder why I’ve never been able to be as skinny as she was. And then I have friends who are thinner than their mothers ever were. We women go round and round in circles, holding hands and trying to be one another sometimes. Men like to think we dress and style ourselves for them, but why would we when they hardly notice? I’ve never tried so hard to look good when I know I’m about to meet up with a stylish girlfriend. It’s she who will notice my slimmed-down waist or the thinnest, little bracelet on my arm.

　　And I have no doubt that the two of you, Veronica and Juliette, will endlessly compare yourselves to each other. You will wonder why one of you got longer legs or shinier hair. The thing I’ll tell you is this: not even the prettiest of us feel settled. The girl you think looks the most perfect in the world is probably the girl who wants to change herself more than anyone else.

　　Don’t take these on. You are not worthless. You are so full of love and light and you should let it shine through your every second. If someone pushes you down for standing tall then just push yourself back up and stand even taller. And know that the reason they push you down in the first place is just because they’re scared.

　　68. From the second paragraph, we can infer that the author _____.

　　A. regrets buying so much Barbie stuff for her daughters

　　B. thinks loving Barbie makes her not confident about her self-image

　　C. owes her beauty and success to playing with Barbie

　　D. thinks playing with Barbie caused no damage to her beauty and success

　　69. In the third paragraph, the author intends to show that _____.

　　A. women tend to be proud of their beautiful friends

　　B. she cares much about her appearance

　　C. she feels proud of her mother’s beauty

　　D. women tend to admire others and compare with each other

　　70. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

　　A. The author is disappointed that few men take notice of her slim figure.

　　B. The author cares more about looking good before her girlfriends.

　　C. Girls should constantly compare themselves with others to improve their beauty.

　　D. Only the prettiest girl can feel confident about her beauty.

　　71. The author advises her daughters that _____.

　　A. they should be cautious not to be pushed down by others

　　B. they should care much about their strong points instead of appearances

　　C. they should try to grow taller than others

　　D. they should care more about others’ opinions
