　　阅读理解。

　　Intellectual property (IP) is a product of the mind that has commercial value．The concept dates back to 1623,when the first patent law to protect IP rights was passed．IP rights protect an artist from having his/her creative ideas copied by another．For example, if somebody generates an idea for a novel, that idea is protected by IP rights．If someone else wishes to represent the idea or develop it further, he/she must consult the original artists, who will normally be rewarded financially for its use．Back in the 17th century, IP rights were primarily carried out to protect newly developed manufacturing processes against stealing, but today, intellectual property rights, are also enjoyed by those who create music, art and literature．

　　In recent years, IP rights have been the focus of a great deal of discussion because of a technology which looks set to weaken them altogether: the Internet．Many years ago, if you wanted a recording of a song, you would have to purchase it from a music store; if a novel, from a book store．In those days, IP rights were easily protected since it was very difficult to obtain intellectual property without paying for it．However, a lot of IP, including songs, films, books and artwork, can be downloaded today free of charge using the Internet．This practice has now taken the world by storm, dramatically affecting the way in which we view IP rights．

　　．According to the writer, in the beginning, IP rights were mainly of use to ____

　　__．

　　A．those creating music, art and literature

　　B．novelists

　　C．engineers and inventors

　　D．those not receiving financial reward for their work

　　．What do we know about the Internet according to the passage?

　　A．It makes IP rights harder to protect．

　　B．It sells songs and films．

　　C．It does not affect the way we understand IP rights． D．It prevents the production of artwork．

　　．According to Paragraph 2, what has “taken the world by storm”?

　　A．Intellectual property rights．

　　B．The Internet．

　　C．Free downloading．

　　D．The large number of songs, films and books．

　　．A possible title for this passage could be _____

　　_．

　　A．A History of IP Rights

　　B．Ways to Protect Your IP Rights

　　C．The Present and the Future of IP

　　D．IP Rights and Our Attitudes答案—4、C A C D

　　【阅读理解】人物传记类

　　Phil White has just returned from an 18,000mile, aroundtheworld bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised

　　￡70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.

　　White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than 1,300 hours in the saddle (车座) and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.

　　The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For 1,000 kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.

　　1. When Phil White returned from his trip, he ________.

　　A. broke the world record

　　B. collected money for Oxfam

　　C. destroyed several bikes

　　D. travelled about 1,300 hours

　　2. What does the word “epic” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?

　　A. Very slow but exciting.

　　B. Very long and difficult.

　　C. Very smooth but tiring.

　　D. Very lonely and depressing.

　　3. During his journey around the world, Phil White ________.

　　A. fought heroically against robbers in Iran

　　B. experienced the extremes of heat and cold

　　C. managed to ride against the wind in Australia

　　D. had a team of people who travelled with him

　　4. Which of the following words can best describe Phil White?

　　A. Imaginative.

　　B. Patriotic.

　　C. Modest.

　　D. Determined.

　　【要点综述】本文讲述了Phil White进行环球自行车旅行的原因及艰难历程。

　　1. B　细节推断题。根据第一段中…he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised ￡70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam.可推断为Oxfam筹资。

　　2. B　词义猜测题。根据第二段第二句和第三句可判断旅程很长也很艰难。

　　3. C　细节理解题。根据第三段中For 1,000 kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him.可判断Phil White设法迎着风骑车。

　　4. D　推理判断题。根据全文及末段中This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end.可判断，虽然路途艰难，但是他坚持到了最后，说明他是有决心的。

　　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。

　　Rae Armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego(UCSD)for two decades, has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent book, “Versed”.

　　"I’m delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings, as compared to even the National Book Critics Award, which I was also surprised and delighted to win,” said Armantrout.

　　"For a long time, my writing has been just below the media radar, and to have this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th book, is really surprising.”

　　Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelor’s degree at UC Berkeley, where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov, and her master’s in creative writing from San Francisco State University. She is a founding member of Language Poets, a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think.

　　In March, she won the National Book Critics Award for“Versed.”

　　"This book has gotten more attention,” Armantrout said, “but I don’t feel as if it’s better.”

　　The first half of“Versed” focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq. The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.

　　Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not. “Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry,” said Seth Lerer, head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD.

　　"Versed,” published by the Wesleyan University Press, did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works, which is about 2, 700 copies. The new edition is scheduled to appear in May.

　　1. According to Rae Armantrout, 　.　

　　A. her 10th book is much better

　　B. her winning the Pulitzer is unexpected

　　C. the media is surprised at her works

　　D. she likes being recognized by her readers

　　2. Which of the following is true of Rae Armantrout?

　　A. She published a poetry textbook.

　　B. She used to teach Denise Levertov.

　　C. She started a poets’ group with others.

　　D. She taught creative writing at UC Berkeley.

　　3. What can we learn about“Versed” ?

　　A. It consists of three parts.

　　B. It is mainly about the American army.

　　C. It is a book published two decades ago.

　　D. It partly concerns the poet’s own life.

　　4. Rae Armantrout’s colleagues think that she 　.　

　　A. should write moreB. has a sweet voice

　　C. deserves the prize　 D. is a strange professor

　　5. What can we learn from the text?

　　A. About 2, 700 copies of“Versed” will be printed.

　　B. Cancer made Armantrout stop writing.

　　C. Armantrout got her degrees at UCSD.

　　D. “Versed” has been awarded twice.

　　【参考答案】1--5 、BCDCD

　　【2017高考复习】阅读理解

　　Are you the type of person who always says “yes”？I’ve come to learn that it is very important to learn to say “no”．It’s okay.People are still going to like you.They may even respect you more because they know you are honest.

　　I’m not saying to say “no” to someone who really needs your help.I’m talking about turning down that meeting that you really do not want to attend or that birthday party that you don’t want to be a guest at.

　　Think for a moment how you feel when you say “yes” to something that you really don’t want to do.If you’re like I once was，you can’t sleep at night and you think about it too much.It weighs on your mind.You try to find ways out.Whatever you’re saying to yourself，if you really wanted to go，you wouldn’t have all of these thoughts.

　　So，why not just say “no” from the beginning？Maybe you feel like if you don’t show up at the meeting (by the way，it is not one you must attend)，your boss isn’t going to like you or your co­workers won’t respect you.Maybe you feel as if your mom，dad or sisters won’t love you as much if you don’t do everything for them what they ask every occasion.

　　If these people are your true friends，family members，or a good boss，they will like or love you the same no matter what.People treat you the way you teach them to，and if you’re someone who

　　always says “yes”，then that’s what they’re expecting.

　　You need to do what is right for you.Of course we do have real obligations in life to fulfill，but we do not have to do everything others want us to do.

　　【语篇解读】　生活中，我们有义务完成应该做的事情，但是不必出于太多的顾虑，凡事惟命是从，要学会拒绝，学会说“不”。

　　1．Which of the following statements would the writer agree with?

　　A．We should try to do what our friends ask us to do.

　　B．We should help others in need.

　　C．Always saying “yes” means you are dishonest.

　　D．Always saying “no” means you are brave.

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句的内容可知，作者认为我们应该帮助需要帮助的人，故B项正确。

　　答案　B

　　2．Generally speaking，we agree to do what we hate to do because we________.

　　A．have a bad habit

　　B．have a kind heart

　　C．have much concern

　　D．have obligations

　　解析　推理判断题。结合第三段第二句中的“you think about it too much”以及本段后半部分的内容可推知，我们之所以同意做我们讨厌做的事情是因为我们有很多顾虑。

　　答案　C

　　3．The writer believes that if you say “no” to your family members，you’ll________.

　　A．have the same relationship with them as before

　　B．have a loose relationship with them

　　C．disappoint them

　　D．upset them

　　解析　 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句的内容可知，作者认为如果你对你的家人说“不”，他们与你之间的关系仍然会和以前一样。

　　B．To Be Yourself

　　C．Do What You Want to Do

　　解析　主旨大意题。文章第一段就开门见山地点明了本文的中心话题，即要学会说“不”，所以D项作为本文的标题最合适。

　　答案　D

　　阅读理解。

　　A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily，it is a bad thing for young people．Puppy love（早恋）may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression（忧郁症）．The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys，and younger girls are the worst of all．

　　The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”．According to the study，even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”，this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls．Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions．They won’t tell that to their parents．

　　Dr Marianm Kaufman，an expert on young people problems，says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing．Trying romance often causes the depression．She advises kids not to jump into romance too early．During growing up，it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self．She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends，attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family．

　　Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes—and if they see signs from their daughters or sons，they need to give help．The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age．Love will always make us feel young，but only maturity（成熟）gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects．

　　2．What’s the main idea of the passage?

　　A．Puppy love may bring young people depression．

　　B．Parents should forbid their children’s love．

　　C．Romance is a two­edged sword for adults．

　　D．Romance is good for young people．

　　3．Which of the following is more likely to have depression?

　　A．Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness．

　　B．Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior．

　　C．Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions．

　　D．Careless parents whose children are deep in love．

　　4．What can be inferred from the passage?

　　A．Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly．

　　B．Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents．

　　C．Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression．

　　D．The older a woman is，the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance．

　　5．What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?

　　A．Confused

　　B．Disapproving C．Disinterested

　　D．Scared—15、ACDB

　　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。

　　Very often when I go to look at someone’s garden and they complain that for some reason it does not feel right to them. What I notice is that the design quite complicated. Or, sometimes there is no real design and the layout (布局) just looks messy. Creating a garden without some form of design is like trying to bake a cake without a recipe.

　　With a cake you can add together ingredients (原料) from the cupboard and fridge in the hope that the result will be a perfectly baked cake. Both creating a garden and baking a cake follow outlines for getting a result. Know just when to add something, when to take the mix off the heat or how much oil to use, etc.

　　An experienced garden designer can help you create a garden best suited to you and your lifestyle, rather than impose their own ideas on you. He will listen to and help draw out your ideas. By keeping the garden design simple you and your chosen designer will have created the structure of a garden, similar to the structure of a house together with some details.

　　A golden rule to remember is that garden design is not about choosing the right plants. Don’t get caught up in the idea that you have to choose the right plants for the job straight away. Plant choice comes almost at the last minute in many cases, after you and your designer have created style or feeling you are wanting to have in your garden.

　　Design is about creating a constructable (可构造的) image for the garden, including form and shape, sounds, smells, even tastes and often, believe it or not, plants are never used. By keeping the design simple, especially if you are learning about design or taking on the project by yourself, you are increasing your chances of a successful design, one that matches your standard for your life.

　　1. What is the passage mainly about?

　　A. Designing a garden as simple as possible.

　　B. Comparing garden-designing with cake-making.

　　C. An experienced garden designer’s importance.

　　D. Choosing plants for the garden.

　　2. Why does the author use baking a cake in the passage?

　　A. To show the basic steps of baking a cake.

　　B. To imply how simple to design a garden.

　　C. To state baking a cake is very complex.

　　D. To introduce how to design a garden.

　　3. The underlined word “impose” in the third paragraph means　.

　　A. force B. turn　C. improve D. imagine

　　4. By keeping the garden design simple, 　.

　　A. you can get details from the garden designer

　　B. you will be successful one day

　　C. you can meet your standards in life

　　D. you can match the structure of a house with that of a garden

　　5. What is the most important for garden design?

　　A. Creating a constructable image for the garden.

　　B. Choosing the right plants for your garden first.

　　C. Inviting an experienced garden designer.

　　D. Not rushing to choose plants for your garden.

　　解题分析：文章的题目Surfing：It's Not Just for Boys Anymore明显地告诉我们，本文是关于女孩子对冲浪运动的看法，而且提出了一个很鲜明的观点：冲浪运动并不再是男孩子的专利！女孩子也能做，而且会有所成就。

　　1. 【解析】B 前后照应逻辑推理

　　词义比较: 如果你询问高中的女生们她们最喜欢的体育运动的名字，她们不是告诉[tell]，给予[give]，意识到[realize]，而是回答[answer]你询问的问题。

　　2.A 常识运用逻辑推理

　　词义比较:先看语境：前一句的意思是"但是它难道不是男孩子的事情吗?[意思是：这是男孩子的事情。]"；后一句的意思是"大多数人当然不……"，由社会的实际情况和这两句的意思可以判断出，只是有一部分人[不太多]对此问题[前一句]不理解[understand]，不相信[believe]，不能作出回答[reply]，而纳闷、惊奇[wonder]，持怀疑态度，而大多数人却肯定地认为：冲浪运动是男孩子的事情。

　　3.D 固定搭配：fall／be in love with…爱上……，是固定结构，其它选项没有这种搭配形式。

　　4. A

　　常识运用：因为文章是在谈论冲浪运动，冲上第一个浪[wave]去是我经历过的最佳感受，而不是暴风雨[storm]、航海[sail]或船[boat]。

　　5. C固定搭配词义比较：作者想把冲浪运动和其他运动进行比较[compare]。connect with连接，联络，将……连起来；compare with与……比较；tie up with和……联系一起；bring带来，引起，通常不与with连用。

　　6. D逻辑推理

　　常识运用：作者把冲浪运动当作了它的生活[life]的组成部分，她不仅仅只是在假期[holiday]里冲浪，当然工作[work]和学习[study]也不能耽误。in my life是"在我的生活中"。

　　7. A常识运用

　　词义比较：冲浪运动涉及到身体，智力、智慧[mind]和心灵、精神诸方面，这三个方面共同组成人的身心发展因素。

　　8. C常识运用

　　逻辑推理：在海洋里进行冲浪运动，身体的沿线[along]，上面[above]，旁边[by]，而且身体的四周[around]都是凉爽的咸水。

　　9.B常识运用

　　逻辑推理：冲浪运动可能要经过沙滩[beach]，有可能是在湖[lake]里，但它主要还是脚踏冲浪板[board]在水[water]面上进行。

　　10.D常识运用

　　逻辑推理：冲浪运动是在大海、大洋中进行的，就有和海洋[ocean]融为一体的感觉。
