Have you got some paper, a pair of scissors and, above all, a desire to decorate your house? Then, we have the perfect holiday artwork for you: Make Star Wars snowflakes (雪花). Remembered as a cherished form of work in classrooms before the holidays, paper snowflakes have drawn many people's attention again.The designer, Anthony Herrera, just recently released his 2013 collection. "The Star Wars snowflake designs began as just doingdesigns of characters that I and my daughter wanted to make three years ago," Herrera told us in an email. "The second year I introduced vehicles, and this year I decided to push further by designing battle scenes."Sometimes, he feels a bit bored with his job. With each year, the designs have got more detailed and various, but the process of creating them remained the same: sketching figures on paper with a pencil until a symmetrical (对称〕pattern comes out, then scanning the designs and cut them with scissors. However, he says he has plenty of ideas for new flakes next year, so no two will ever be the same. Hopefully with Star Wars: Episode VII coming in 2015 he'll have even more work in the future.Check out your favorite finished versions of Herrera’s flakes (from both 2013 and previous years) and download the pictures beneath them and then get down to creating your own work. A warning: Most designs aren't for the casual flake-maker, so patience you must have.1. Making paper snowflakes draws many people's attention probably because ______.A. it is a traditional form of decorationB. it is a course of artwork in schoolC. it is a way of killing time in holidayD. it is designed by Anthony Herrera2. From the text, we know that Herrera ______.A. can make snowflakes with his daughter's helpB. made more complicated designs before 2013C. introduced paper vehicles in 2011D. will make a great variety of detailed paper flakes3. Herrera is fed up with the job sometimes because ______A. he has to design detailed and different patternsB. he has to follow the fixed process of paper cuttingC. he spends much time designing, scanning and cuttingD. he has few ideas for what the next designs will be like4. By writing the last paragraph, the author tries to ______.A. offer us more information about Herrera’s paper cuttingB. tell us how to download picture of snowflakesC. instruct people to be a real creative artistD. remind us of being patient with Herrera’s designs【参考答案】1—4、ADBC2016高考模拟题。

2017年高考英语一轮复习阅读理解专项试题及答案阅读理解阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

AIt is obvious that doctors recognize obesity as a health problem. So why is it so hard for them to talk to their patients about it?The results of two surveys, one of primary care physicians and the other of patients, found that while most doctors want to helppatients lose weight and think it is their responsibility to do so, they often don’t know what to say.“So while doctors may tell patients they are overweight, the convers ation often ends there,” said Christine C. Ferguson, director of the Stop Obesity Alliance. “Patients are not told about the possibility of diabetes (a kind of disease),” she said. “And doctors don’t feel they have good information to give. They felt that they didn’t have adequate tools to address this problem.The lack of dialogue hurts patients, too. The patient survey, of over 1,000 adults, found that most overweight patients don’t even know that they’re too heavy. Only 39 percent of overweight people surveyed had ever been told by a health care provider that they were overweight.Of those who were told they were obese, 90 percent were alsotold by their doctors to lose weight, the survey found. In fact most have tried to lose weight and may have been successful in the past—and many are still trying, the survey found. And many understand that losing even a small amount of weight can have a positive impact on their health and reduce their risk of obesity­related diseases like hypertension and diabetes.Dr. William Bestermann Jr., medical director of Holston Medical Group, in Kingsport, Tenn. , which ranks the 10th in obesity among metropolitan areas in the United States, said the dialogue had to be anongoing one and could not be dropped after just one mention of the problem. “If you’re to be successful with helping your patients lose weight, you have to talk to them at actually every visit about their progress, and find something to encourage them and coach them,” he said.He acknowledged that many doctors tend to be not optimistic.“Part of this is that there's this common belief, and doctors are burdened by it, too, that overweight people are weak-willed and just don’t have any willpower and are self­indulgent and all that business,” he said. “If you think that way, you’re not going to spend time having a productive conversation.”1. What is the Stop Obesity Alliance most probably in Paragraph 3?A. An organization of doctors specializing in obesity.B. An organization of patients suffering from obesity.C. A research group that conducts special surveys about overweight people.D. A research group dealing with doctor-patient relationship.2. How many of the patients surveyed have been advised by their doctors to lose weight?A. About 350.B. About 390.C. About 900.D. About 1,000.3. What can be inferred about obesity patients in Paragraph 5?A. They are not as hopeless as doctors think they are.B. Most of them have tried hard to lose weight, but in vain.C. Without their doct ors’ constant coaching, there is little chance of their succeeding in losing weight.D. Most of them have just given up their hope of becoming less heavy.4. According to the passage, which factor contributes to the lack of dialogue between doctors and patients?A. Most doctors just never think of warning their patients about their weight problem.B. Many doctors find it difficult to persuade overweight people to lose weight.C. Most patients are too weak-willed to do anything about their weight.D. Many patients tend not to trust their doctors about their weight problem.5. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Obesity in the U. S.B. Trouble of overweight Americans.C. Talk more, help better.D. Doctors or patients-who to bear more blame?BThe cultural and natural values of Kakadu National Park were recognized internationally when the Park was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This is an international register of properties that are recognized as having outstanding cultural or natural values of international significance. Kakadu is the largest national park in Australia and is the second largest national park in the world. Kakaduis a biological wonderland, which is almost 8,000 square miles. The wildlife in Kakadu National Park includes over 280 kinds of birds, 60 kinds of native mammals, 55 kinds of freshwater fish, thousands of insects, and many reptiles, the most famous of which is the salt-water crocodile. All life in the park depends on water.Kakadu is not only home to the wildlife but the area is also famous for the longest continuous human culture that exists in the world. Aborigines have been living in this area for at least 40,000 years. The descendants(后裔) of these First Australians still live in Kakadu today. Kakadu contains one of the longest continuous records of rock art in the world, with around 5,000 paintings, with rock sites dating back 25,000 years. More than 1,000 sites have been recorded. Kakadu has been given double World Heritage status by the United Nations. It is one of only 17 of the 469 World heritage Areas listed for both natural and cultural values.It is Australia’s largest national park, but it isn’t just the size that surprises visitors—it is the sense of something very old and grand. Creation of the 500 km escarpment (悬崖) began 2,000 million years ago. Today those gorges are filled with rainforests, washed by waterfalls.Kakadu is one of the world’s special places. It is hard to pick the ideal time to visit Kakadu. In the wet season large areas of the park are closed to the public. It would not be possible to enter or exit from the park through the Kakadu Highway. Most of the people there agree that the best time to visit is at the end of the dry season. Some areas of Kakadu have restricted visiting times, and some are not open to the general public. Over 230 000 tourists visit Kakadu National Park every year. As you enter Kakadu National Park, you will be required to buy a permit. Part of this money is paid to the Traditional Owners of the land and the rest is given to the repairs of the park.6. Why does the author mention so much wildlife in Paragraph 1?A. To represent the scene of the nature.B. To attract readers’ attention.C. To take the wildlife for example.D. To show the value of the park.7. Kakadu is given double World Heritage status by the United Nations because of _____.A. the descendants of these First Australians still in Kakadu todayB. the particular environment and the unusual rock artC. the longest continuous human culture that exists in the worldD. Aborigines living in this area for at least 40,000 years8. The followings are mentioned in the passage except _____.A. living things in KakaduB. the escarpment and the gorgesC. the history of the parkD. the weather of the area9. The underlined word gorges in Paragraph 3 means _____.A. narrow valleys between hills or mountainsB. buildings where cases are determinedC. large and open structures for sports eventsD. places where something is located10. What does the author advise visitors to do when they go to Kakadu?A. To get more information about the special place.B. To make a better choice between the wet and dry season.C. Not to enter the national park without permission.D. Not to go there through the Kakadu Highway.C(London)—If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.Some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturallystore fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems.The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.11. What is this piece of news mainly about?A. Thin people may be fat inside.B. Internal fat is of no importance.C. Internal fat leads to many diseases.D. Thin people also have troubles.12. Doctors have found _____.A. the exact dangers of internal fatB. internal fat is the cause of heart disease and diabetesC. being slim is not dangerous at allD. being slim doesn’t mean you are not fat inside13. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?A. Exercise can help to reduce the internal fat.B. People can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.C. Men are more likely to have too much internal fat.D. People with heart disease all have internal fat.14. From the last paragraph, we can find that _____.A. whether internal fat can lead to disease has been provedB. exercise plays in important role in people’s life for keeping healthyC. thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slimD. it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat15. The underlined part in the last paragraph means _____.A. a long roadB. an easy wayC. a clear differenceD. a short distanceDFor years, there has been a bias(偏见)against science among clinical psychologists. In a two-year analysis to be published in November in Perspectives on Psychological Science, psychologists led by Timothy B. Baker of the University of Wisconsin charge that manyclinical psychologists fail to “provide the treatments for which there is the strongest evidence of effectiveness” and “give more weight to thei r personal experiences than to science.” As a result, patients have no guarantee that their “treatment will be informed by …science.” Walter Mischel of Columbia University is even crueler in his judgment. “The disconnect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is an extreme embarrassment,” he told me, and “there is a widening gap between clinical practice and science.”The “widening” reflects the great progress that psychological research has made in identifying the most effective treatments. Thanks to strict clinical trials, we now know that teaching patients to think about their thoughts in new, healthier ways and to act on those new ways of thinking are effective against depression, panic disorder and other problems, with multiple trials showing that these treatments—the tools of psychology—bring more lasting benefits than drugs.You wouldn’t know this if you sought help from a typicalclinical psychologist. Although many treatments are effective,relatively few psychologists learn or practice them.Why in the world not? For one thing, says Baker, clinical psychologists are “very doubtful about the role of science” and “lack solid science training”. Also, one third of patients get better no matter what treatment (if any) they have, “and psychologists rememberthese successes, believing, wrongly, that they are the result of the treatment.”When faced with evidence that treatments they offer are not supported by science, clinical psychologists argue that they know better than some study that works. A 2008 study of 591 psychologists in private practice found that they rely more on their own and colleagues’ experience than on science when deciding how to treat a patient. If they keep on this path as insurance companies demand evidence-based medicine, warns Mischel, psychology will “discredit itself.”16. Many clinical psychologists fail to provide the most effective treatments because _____.A. they are unfamiliar with their patientsB. they believe in science and evidenceC. they depend on their colleagues’ helpD. they rely on their personal experiences17. The widening gap between clinical practice and science is due to _____.A. the cruel judgment by Walter MischelB. the fact that most patients get better after being treatedC. the great progress that has been made in psychological researchD. the fact that patients prefer to take drugs rather than have other treatments18. How do clinical psychologists respond when charged thattheir treatments are not supported by science?A. They feel embarrassed.B. They try to defend themselves.C. They are disappointed.D. They doubt their treatments.19. In Mischel’s opinion, psychology will ______.A. destroy its own reputation if no improvement is madeB. develop faster with the support of insurance companiesC. work together with insurance companies to provide better treatmentD. become more reliable if insurance companies won’t demand evidence-based medicine20. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To show the writer’s disapproval of clinical psychologists.B. To inform the readers of the risks of psychological treatments.C. To explain the effectiveness of treatments by clinical psychologists.D. To introduce the latest progress of medical treatment in clinical psychology.参考答案1—5 BAABC 6—10 DBCAB11—15 ADDBB 16—20 DCBAA。

A classical guitarist was excited to hear from New York City police that his valuable guitar had been found. It disappeared almost a year ago when he got out of a cab and forgot to take the guitar with him. Laurence Lennon, 44, said he was running late that day. He was talking to his manager on his cell phone when he dashed out of the taxi. He said that he gave the driver $ 60 and told him to keep the change. He walked through the front doors of the concert hall still talking on the phone to his manager.Upon discovering his loss, Lennon used his cell phone to call the police. The policewoman asked him for the name of the cab company, the number of the cab, and the name of the driver. He said that she had to be kidding. She told Lennon that he could file a missing items report at the police station or online. Lennon asked for the online address. She told him that finding the guitar might take a couple of years—finding guitars was not as important as finding murderers and marijuana smokers. Then she told him to have a nice day.“This year has been depressing，” said Lennon. “I had to postpone the recording of two new CDs. I've been using borrowed guitars. And I was losing hope o f ever recovering my guitar.”Lennon was reunited with his $ 100,000 musical instrument yesterday. The case and the guitar had been discovered in the corner of a coffee house only two blocks from where Lennon had lost it in the first place. Lennon had offered a $ 10,000 reward for its return. He said he would give the reward to the coffee house owner, who had informed the police. 1．It can be inferred from this reading passage that________. A．Lennon gave the driver much more money than what was actually needed B．Lennon couldn't give any useful information about the driver and his cabC．Lennon was too busy talking to his friend to remember to pay the cab driverD．Lennon used to work at the concert hall in New York City答案：B 推理判断题。

Prejudice is a preconceived opinion that is not based on fact or reason. Examples of prejudice in schools include believing that some students are particular type of people simply because of the way they dress or act, or believing that a certain group is good at sports simply because many peop1e in that group are goad at sports. Another example is believing that a boy is good at science because many boys are good at science.I would like to cite more examples from the English literature. The best example of “prejudice” can be found in Jane Austen’s novels. Her novels in the history of English literature are popularly known as "novels of manners".Thus you can clearly understand that where manners and social behavior are concerned，"prejudice" is inevitable ! Austen' s famous novel Pride and Prejudice is the best example in this respect. When you read the novel, the very first line that would strike you is “it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”It is an example of 18th century English middle class prejudice that eventually looked upon women just as an object that would serve as the basic sign for a man to establish his manliness and his superior and well acquired financial status. This novel is chiefly about class division，social norms and the consequent human behavior. The characters Elizabeth and Darcy，in their journey of 1ife through the course of the novel, highlight their personal prejudices towards one another that arise from their different social strata(阶层).Darcy，a rich man , at first ,fails to admire the beauty and intelligence of Elizabeth because of her low social status:"she is tolerable; but not handsome e nough to tempt me;”and Eli zabeth，proud of her "first impressions"，failed to understand the well natured man under the proud and unfriendly Darcy.1. What is "prejudice" defined in this passage?A. Prejudice is a reasonable idea that is based o n one’s own experience.B. Prejudice is a preference for one group of people or things over another.C. Prejudice is a preconceived opinion before becoming aware of fact or reason.D. Prejudice is an unreasonable dislike of a particular group of people or things.2. The underlined word "inevitable" in the second paragraph probably_means_ .A. unavoidableB. reasonableC. unbelievableD. valuable3.From the novel Pride and Prejudice，we can’t learn that .A. where manners and social behavior are concerned "prejudice" is inevitableB. "prejudice" was defined and compared with“p ride” in 18th centuryC. it's about class division，social norms and the consequent human behaviorD. personal prejudices towards one another arise from different social strata【参考答案】1—3、CAB2016高考英语阅读理解集训。

According to historical documents, the forefathers of the Naxi people were closely related to a tribe called “Maoniu Yi” in the Han Dynasty，“Maoniu Yi” in the Jin Dynasty and “Moxie Yi” in the Tang Dynasty.Between the early 10th century and the middle of the 13th century, production in the Lijiang area experienced marked changes, as agriculture replaced livestock (家畜)breeding as the main occupation of the people. Scores of agricultural, handicraft, mineral and livestock products were turned out, and the country presented a picture of prosperity. During that period, a number of slave­owning groups in Ninglang，Lijiang and Weixi counties gradually grew into a feudal manorial lord caste(世袭封建庄园领主制)．In 1278 the Yuan Dynasty established Lijiang Prefecture(自治州)representing the imperial court in Yunnan Province. This resulted in closer links between the Lijiang area and the centre of the empire.In the early Ming Dynasty, the leader of the Naxi people，named Mude, was made chief of Lijiang Prefecture, exercising control over the Naxi and other ethnic groups nearby. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the chiefs from the Mu family kept taxes and tribute(贡品)flowing to the Ming court in the form of silver and grain. The Ming, in turn, relied on the Mu family as the mainstay for the control of the people of various ethnic groups in northwestern Yunnan Province.Later, with the development of the productive forces, buying, selling and renting of land began to take place in the Naxi areas，marking the beginning of a landlord economy.1．In the 12th century, the main occupation probably be ________.A．livestock breeding B．agricultureC．fishing D．forestry答案：B 从文章第二段第一句可知，10世纪早期至13世纪中期丽江经济经历了重大变化，也就是“agriculture replaced livestock breeding”。

Paul Salopek: looking back upon the childhoodCThey say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon; on foot, on mules(骡子) or by air. We chose the first. Waking up early, my husband and I and our three children couldn’t wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. Withthe sun rising higher, Arizona’s famous heat seemed to roast us. Our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.The next day, after we’d had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon – by air. When the plane took off and circled around the Canyon, the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed (翻转) the plane around. It appeared as if it hit the ground. I shouted, “STOP, TAKE US BACK!” When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally I’d suggest a fourth: buyyourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.29. The u nderlined expression “Our legs were like jelly” in the second paragraph probably means .A. we were weakB. we were excitedC. we were unhappyD. we were dissatisfied30. Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?A. It made each of them tiredB. It proved to be frightening.C. It turned out to be excitingD. It made each of them relaxed31. According to the passage, you may ________ if you want to view the Grand Canyon without fear or tiredness.A. walkB. ride on mulesC. take a planeD. read National GeographicDCar crashes are the top killer of American teenagers. Most ofthe crashes result from distracted driving — not paying attention tothe road.Ryan Didone was a fifteen-year-old passenger in a car that hit a tree. He was one of the nation's more than thirty thousand victims of traffic crashes in 2014. Nearly four thousand deaths, about twelve percent, involved drivers age fifteen to twenty. Ryan's father, Thomas Didone, is a police captain in Montgomery County, Maryland. He said, "It was an inexperienced driver who felt that he was good at driving atnight with a carload of kids. He was distracted, he was going too fast, and it ended up causing one death and some upsetting experiences and tragedy for the rest of the community."Jim Jennings from the Allstate Insurance Company said, “The number one cause of distracted-driving accidents is the mobile phone. Talking on the phone or reaching for it is like drinking four beers and driving. If you're texting while driving, you are twenty-three times more likely to get into an accident than somebody who isn't. Reachingfor a cell phone when it's going off, you're nine times more likely to get into an accident than normally driving.” The insurance industry recently held a safety event near Washington for teen drivers.At first, nineteen-year-old Kevin Schumann easily avoided large, inflatable(充气的)dolls thrown in front of the car to represent children. He also avoided orange cones (锥形体) representing the edge of the road.Then, as part of the test, he started texting. He hit several cones and at least one doll.Debbie Pickford from the Allstate Insurance Company said, “Teens are especially at risk from distracted driving — and not just because they lack experience on the roads. What we know from research on teen brain development, is that teens don't really have fully developed brains until they're twenty-five years old. You put those two things together and you get a much, much higher risk.”32. It can be learnt from the second paragraph that_______________________________.A. drivers who resulted in nearly 4000 deaths are teenagersB. over 30,000 victims have died from traffic crashes so farC. it was at night that Ryan Didone died from a car accidentD. Ryan Didone’s death was due to the driver’s carelessness33. According to the passage, _____________ is the most likely to lead to a traffic accident while you are driving.A. reaching for a cell phoneB. texting on the mobile phoneC. talking on the mobile phoneD. bringing along a cell phone34. A safety event held by insurance industry was meant to________________________.A. attract more teenagers to take part in itB. make more teenagers practice avoiding large barriersC. draw enoug h attention to teenagers’ distracted drivingD. encourage more teenagers to pay for insurance protection35. The passage is probably followed by a concluding paragraph about ______________.A. much higher riskB. measures to be takenC. experience on the roadsD. teen brain development第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Mark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel.And he surely deserves additional praise：the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism.I say clever because anti­slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil War.H.B.Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin is only the most famous example.These early stories dealt directly with slavery.With minor exceptions，Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely.He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story.Again and again，in the postwar years，Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race.Consider the most controversial，at least today，of Twain's novels，Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn，Twain's most widely read tale.Once upon a time，people hated the book because it struck them as rude.Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel “trash and suitable only for the slums(贫民窟)．”More recently the book has been attacked because of the character Jim，the escaped slave，and many occurences of the word nigger.(The term Nigger Jim，for which the novel is often severely criticized，never appears in it.)But the attacks were and are silly—and miss the point.The novel is strongly anti­slavery.Jim's search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic.As J．Chadwick has pointed out，the character of Jim was a first in American fiction—a recognition that the slave had two personalities，“the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual：Jim，the father and the man.”There is much more.Twain's mystery novel Pudd'nhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day.Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior(低等的)to whites，especially in intelligence，Twain's tale centered in part around two babies switched at birth.A slave gave birth to her master's baby and，for fear that the child should be sold South，switched him for the master's baby by his wife.The slave's lightskinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes and theeducation of the slave­holding class.The master's wife's baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave. The point was difficult to miss：nurture(养育)，not nature，was the key to social status.The features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudice—manner of speech，for example—were，to Twain，indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims. Twain's racial tone was not perfect.One is left uneasy，for example，by the lengthy passage in his autobiography(自传)about how much he loved what were called“nigger shows”in his youth—mostly with white men performing in black­face—and his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them.Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality.His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness that they did not.Was Twain a racist？Asking the question in the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln.If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the“wisdom”of the considered moral judgments of the present，we will find nothing but error.Lincoln，who believed the black man the inferior of the white，fought and won a war to free him.And Twain，raised in a slave state，briefly a soldier，and inventor of Jim，may have done more to anger the nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century.【语篇解读】通过研究马克·吐温的作品，来判定他是否是一名种族主义者。

Should doctors ever lie to benefit their patient—to speed recovery or to cover the coming of death？In medicine as in law，government，and other lines of work，the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed (变矮小)by greater needs：the need to protect form brutal news or to uphold a promise of secrecy；to advance the public interest.What should doctors say，for example，to a 46yearold man coming in for a routine physical checkup j ust before going on vacation with his family who，though he feels in perfect health，is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die wit hin six months？Is it best to tell him the truth？If he asks，should the doctors reject that he is ill，or minimize the gravity of the illness？Should they at least hide the truth until after the family vacatio n?Doctors face such choices often.At times，they see important reasons to lie for the patient's own sake；in their eyes，such lies sharply form selfserving ones.Studies show that mo st doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill patients do no t want to know the truth about their condition，and that informing them risks destroying their hope，so that they may recover more slowly，or deteriorate (恶化)faster，perhaps even commit suicide (自杀)．But other studies show that，contrary to the belief of many physicians；a great majority of patients do want to be told the truth，even about serious illness，and feel cheated when they learn that they have been misled. We are also learning that truthful information，humanely conveyed (传达)，helps patients cope with illness：help them tolerate pain better，need less medicine，and even recover faster after surgery.There is urgent need to debate this issue openly.Not only in m edicine，but in other profession as well，practitioners may find themselves repeatedly in difficulty wher e serious consequences (后果)seem avoidable only through deception(欺骗)．Yet the public has every reason to know professional de ception，for such practices are peculiarly likely to become deeply roote d，to spread，and to trust.Neither in medicine，nor in law，government，or the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying ，“What you don't know can't hurt you.”1．According to the author's opinion，lies ________.A．can benefit the patientsB．can help the patients to recoveryC．can do nothing to the patients' illnessD．can not benefit the patients答案：A 细节理解题。

"Can I get a light?" This question is among the most common between smokers. What if this question was to come from an unusual source? In April 2014, the National Health Promotion Foundation uploaded an anti-smoking advertisement onto YouTube. The anti-smoking ad has quickly been known as the "most powerful anti-smoking ad."The anti-smoking video, called the "Smoking Kid," features children walking up to adult smokers asking for a light. The children in the ad are actors but the adults smoking are unsuspecting participants in the project.The video begins with the statement "adults know that smoking is harmful, but don’t remind themselves of this fact " Once a "smoking kid" approaches the adults, every adult asked is shocked that a child with a cigarette in hand is asking for a light. The first adult starts by saying, "I’m not giving it to you," and the video goes on to state "every adult filmed said no and reminded the children that smoking is bad."Before going away, the kid hands each adult a booklet after being turned down for a light. The booklet says, "You worry about me, but why not about yourself?" Each adult looks around for the child as their faces are filled with confusion and discomfort.The video shows that a few of the smokers quickly threw away their cigarettes or put their cigarettes away, showing that this experiment was affective at that moment.The most influential element in the ad isn't the use of children or the responses from the smoking adults. It comes down to something much simpler than that. Why is it that we worry about other people, forgetting to worry about ourselves?1. According to the text, the anti-smoking ad is ______.A. unusualB. shockingC. influentialD. encouraging2. The underlined word "unsuspecting" (in Para. 2) probably means ______A. uninformedB. unwillingC. unfortunateD. unacceptable3. What are the adults，reactions to the children asking for a light?A. They pay no attention to children's request.B. They reject kids，request and educate them.C. They look around for children's parents.D. They quickly throw children's cigarettes away.4. The best title of the text might be ______.A. Give up smoking, for your own sakeB. Keep away from smoking, adultsC. Tell your children not to smokeD. Reject a child asking for a light【参考答案】1—4、CABA2016高考模拟题。

George Gershwin，born in 1898，was one of America's greatest composers.He published his first song when he was eighteen years old.During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.Many of Gershwin's songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City.These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s.Many of his songs have remained popular as ever.Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way—from jazz to country.In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music.Could jazz，some people asked，be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music.Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it.And in that short time，he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue.Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert.The audience were thrilled when they heard his music.It made him world­famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.In 1928，Gershwin went to Paris.He applied to study composition (作曲)with the well­known musician Nadia Boulanger，but she rejected him.She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz­influenced style.While there，Gershwin wrote An American in Paris.When it was first performed，critics (评论家)were divided over the music.Some called it happy and full of life，to others it was stilly and boring.But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States.It still remains one of his most famous works.George Gershwin died in 1937，just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer.He was only thirty­nine years old.Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages.People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.【语篇解读】本文讲述了George Gershwin 一位伟大的音乐家的一生，对音乐界及世界的影响。

Tom appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a long-handled brush. He stopped by the fence in front of the house where he lived with his aunt Polly. He looked at it, and all joy left him. The fence was long and high. He put the brush into the whitewash and moved it along the top of the fence. He repeated the operation. He felt he could not continue and sat down.He knew that his friends would arrive soon with all kinds of interesting plans for the day. They would walk past him and laugh. They would make jokes about his having to work on a beautiful summer Saturday. The thought burned him like fire.He put his hand into his pockets and took out all that he owned. Perhaps he could find some way to pay someone to do the whitewashing for him. But there was nothing of value in his pockets —nothing that could buy even half an hour of freedom. So he put the bits of toys back into his pockets and gave up the ideaAt this dark and hopeless moment, a wonderful idea came to him. It filled his mind with a great, bright light. Calmly he picked up the brush and started again to whitewash.While Tom was working, Ben Rogers appeared. Ben was eating an apple as he walked along the street. As he walked along, he was making noises like the sound of a riverboat. First he shouted loudly, like a boat captain. Then he said “Ding-Dong-Dong”, “Ding-Dong-Dong” again and again, like the bell of a riverboat. And he ma de other strange noises. When he came close to Tom, he stopped.Tom went on whitewashing. He did not look at Ben. Ben stared a moment and then said: “Hello! I’m going swimming, but you can’t go, can you?”No answer. Tom moved his brush carefully along the fence and looked at the result with the eye of an artist. Ben came nearer. Tom’s mouth watered for the apple, but he kept on working.Ben said, “Hello, old fellow, you’ve got to work, hey?”Tom turned suddenly and said, “Why, it’s you, Ben! I wasn’t noticing.”“Say —I’m going swimming. Don’t you wish you could? But of course you’d rather work —wouldn’t you? Of course you would.”Tom looked at the boy a bit, and said “What do you call work?”“Why, isn’t that work?”Tom went back to his whitewashing, and answered carelessly.“Well, maybe it is, and maybe it isn’t. All I know is, it suits Tom Sawyer.”“Oh come, now, you don’t mean to say that you like it?”The brush continued to move.“Like it? Well, I don’t see why I shouldn’t like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?”Ben stopped eating his apple. Tom moved his brush back and forth, stepped back to look at the result, added a touch here and there, and stepped back again. Ben watched every move and got more and more interested. Soon he said,“Say, Tom, let me whitewash a little.”Tom thought for a moment, was about to agree; but he changed his mind.“No —no —it won’t do, Ben. You see, Aunt Polly wants this fence to be perfect. It has got to be done very carefully. I don’t think there is one boy in a thousand, maybe two thousand, that can do it well enough.”“No —is that so? Oh come, now —let me just try. Only just a little.” “Ben, I’d like to, but if it isn’t done right, I’m afraid Aunt Polly … ”“Oh, I’ll be careful. Now let me try. Say —I’ll give you the core of my apple.”“Well, here —No, Ben, now don’t. I’m afraid …”“I’ll give you all of it.”Tom gave up the brush with unwillingness on his face, but joy in his heart. And while Ben worked at the fence in the hot sun, Tom sat under a tree, eating the apple, and planning how to get more help. There were enough boys. Each one came to laugh, but remained to whitewash. By the time Ben was tired, Tom sold the next chance to Billy for a kite; and when Billy was tired, Johnny bought in for a dead rat —and so on, hour after hour. And when the middle of the afternoon came, Tom had won many treasures.And he had not worked. He had had a nice idle time all the time, with plenty of company －and the fence had been whitewashed three times. If he h adn’t run out of whitewash, Tom would have owned everything belonging to his friends.He had discovered a great law of human action, namely, that in order to make a man or a boy want a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to get.1. How many characters are mentioned in this story?A. 4B. . 6 D. 72. Why did Tom take all his bits of toys out of his pockets?A. Because he is tired and wanted to play with his toys.B. Because he wanted to throw his toys away.C. Because he wanted to give his toys to his friends.D. Because he wanted to know if he could buy help with his toys.3. Tom was about to agree to let Ben whitewash when he changed his mind because ______.A. Tom wanted to do the whitewashing by himselfB. Tom planned to make Ben give up his apple firstC. Tom was unwilling to let Ben do the whitewashingD. Tom was afraid Ben would do the whitewashing better.4. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. Tom was interested in whitewashing the fence.B. Tom had a lot of friends who are ready to help others.C. Tom was unwilling to whitewash the fence, but he managed to let other boys do it for himD. Tom was good at whitewashing the fence, so he looked at the result of his work with the eye of an artist.5. What made Ben Rogers eagerly gave up his apple and offer to brush the fence for Tom?A.

But do you know it can also make you look good? People who increased their intake over just six weeks developed a healthy glow and appeared more attractive, researchers found. Scientists at St Andrews University found eating them slightly increased yellow and red pigments in the volunteers' skin. They monitored the food intake of 35 people and took pictures of their faces, arms and hands using a sensitive camera at the start, and after three and six weeks. Increasing their intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day was found to make the person look more healthy and an extra 3.3 portions could enhance their attractiveness, when their photographs were rated by others.Fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids(类胡萝卜素)，which are known to protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays, and can also prevent age-related diseases including heart disease and cancer. But while it was known eating extreme amounts of certain vegetables such ascarrots could turn skin orange，it was not known a small increase was perceptible(被觉察）to others—and was seen as appealing.A camera measured changes to the skin's redness, yellowness and lightness, and found it significantly changed in people who naturally increased their intake. These changes were not evident in three weeks. Using light sensors, the researchers showed these red and yellow hues were linked with the levels of carotenoids in their skin. There are hundreds of carotenoids but those thought to have the most dramatic effect are lycopene(番茄红素)—which gives tomatoes and red peppers their red colour—and beta-carotene found in carrots as well as broccoli, squash, and spinach.

Sleep deprivation is such a serious problem that lessons have to be dragged down to a lower level to suit sleep-deprived learners, the study found. The international comparison, carried out by Boston College, found the United States to have the highest number of sleep-deprived students, with 73% of 9- and 10-year-olds and 80% of 13- and 14-year-olds identified by their teachers as being negatively affected.In literacy(读写能力) tests there were 76% of 9- and 10-year-olds lacking sleep. This was much higher than the international average of 47% of primary pupils needing more sleep and 57% among the secondary age group.Other countries with the most sleep-deprived youngsters were New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Australia, England, Ireland and France. High-performing Finland is also among the most lacking in sleep. Countries with the best records for getting enough sleep include Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Japan and Malta.The analysis was part of the huge date-gathering process for global education rankings, the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study(TIMSS)and Progress in International Reading Literacy Study(PIRLS)“I think we underestimate the impact of sleep. Our data show that across countries internationally, on average, children who have more sleep achieve higher in maths, science and reading. That is exactly what our data show,” says Chad Minnich of the TIMSS and PIRLS International Study Center.“It’s the same link for children who are lacking basic nutrition,” says Mr Minnich, based at the Lynch School of Education, Boston College. “If you are unable to concentrate, to attend mentally, you are unable to achieve at your best level, because your mind and body are in need of something more basic. Sleep is a fundamental need for all children. If teachers report such large proportions of children suffering from lack of sleep, it’s having a significant impact. But worse than that, teachers are having to adjust their instruction based on those children who are suffering from a lack of sleep. The children who are suffering from a lack of sleep are driving down instruction.”That means that even the children who are getting enough sleep are still suffering from this sleep-related lowering.【小题1】 What did the researchers of Boston College try to find?A．Why children don’t get enough sleepB．How many hours children sleep every nightC．The relationship between sleep and test resultsD．The relationship between sleep and health【小题2】Many children suffer from sleep deprivation because _________.A．they sit in front of the TV for too longB．they can hardly sleep soundly and deeplyC．their homework occupies too much of their timeD．modern technological devices consume a lot of their time【小题3】Which of the following countries has the most sleep-deprived students?A．Japan B．MaltaC．Finland D．Portugal【小题4】Why are children who get enough sleep also victims?A．Because they are disturbed by sleep-deprived studentsB．Because teaching is driven down by sleep-deprived studentsC．Because they have to spend time helping sleep-deprived studentsD．Because the teachers waste time disciplining sleep-deprived students2、此文档是由网络收集并进行重新排版整理.word可编辑版本！。

2017高考英语阅读理解一轮自选练习阅读理解解读“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face”.A charming way of saying “Keep off the grass”. But could you figure it out? Or this: “Wash Clothing Store” for laundry.They are both typical Chinglish, a combination of English voc abulary and Chinese grammar. Expressions such as “people mountain people sea”， means extremely crowded, and “give you some color to see”， meaning a punishment, are widely known and recognized.Chinglish has been attracting global attention in recent years as China grows rapidly in stature on the world stage, attractin g both fans and detractors.The Beijing Speaks Foreign Languages Programme and Engli sh First China Company, a language trainer known as EF Edu cation, jointly launched a campaign to root out poor grammar and misused vocabulary in downtown Beijing. They argue Chi nglish is an embarrassment that we should let it die out at all costs.“It is meaningful, to allow the capital show its most beautiful hi storical and cultural heritage to the world.” Michael Lu, vicepresident of EF Education said, “since the launching of the cam paign, foreign teachers and students had been very keen to v olunteer participation.” He believed signs were very important in public services. “The signs in some old buildings confused foreign visitors.”Chinglish, although the target of much criticism, has also won supporters who regard it as an interesting way for foreigners t o learn how Chinese people think and express themselves.“Many Chinglish logos carry Chinese elements and they will e nrich the English language，” 32yearold Oliver Radtke said. He had even published a book “Chinglish: Found in Translatio n，” on the subject. About 50 000 copies of the book have be en sold since it was published in 2007.Some Chinese university experts also side with Chinglish. “En glish has absorbed elements from other languages such as Fr ench and Spanish in its growth, and the emergence of Chingli sh again testifies to the language's vitality and inclusiveness ，” said Shi Anbin, an associate professor of Tsinghua Univer sity.文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。
