广东省广州市2017年高考一模英语试卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节,满分30分）第一节阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项（A.B.C和D）中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.AInside the Rain RoomThe Rain Room has arrived and local art lovers are taking notice. Is it worth the wait? Yes, I assure you it is. Once inside, visitors find a long, dark room with a high ceiling. A single bright light shines through heavy rain falling around visitors. The mist. The damp air. The noise. It feels like a mighty storm is pouring down. But the storm is inside. And visitors aren't getting wet. Instead, visitors wander in awe, admiring the rain and the artists who created it.The Rain Room was created to highlight the connection between humans, nature and technology. With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain wherever visitors move, it does just that. Light and sound produce an experience that feels both natural and foreign. The exhibit is moving on to Atlanta next month. I urge you to visit before then. It's time to experience the Rain Room for yourself!Welcome to the Rain Room·The Rain Room features falling water. Please be aware you may get slightly wet. However, visitors wearing raincoats will be turned away.·This exhibit features advanced technology. To ensure its effectiveness, please avoid wearing dark or reflective clothing.·Visitors are welcome to take photographs of the exhibit.·Children must be accompanied by an adult.·For the convenience of all guests, visits are limited to 10minutes.21．What's the purpose of the text? _____A．To attract visitors to a new art exhibit.B．To explain how an exhibit has been created.C．To describe the technology used in the exhibit.D．To promote the artists taking part in an exhibit.22．What's the function of the exhibit's tracking system? _____A．To keep visitors from getting wet.B．To protect the exhibit from water damage.C．To time how long visitors are in the room.D．To count the number of visitors in the room.23．What must you do when visiting the Rain Room? _____A．Wear a raincoat.B．Wear dark clothing.C．Leave your camera outside.D．Pass through within 10minutes.BDujiangyan is the oldest man﹣made water system in the world, and a wonder m the development of Chinese science. Built over 2, 200 years ago in what is now Sichuan Province in Southwest China, this amazing engineering achievement is still used today to irrigate over 6,000 square kilometres of farmland, take away floodwater and provide water for 50cities m the province.In ancient times, the region in which Dujiangyan now stands suffered from regular floods caused by overflow from the Minjiang River. To help the victims of the flooding, Li Bing, the region's governor, together with his son, decided to find a solution. They studied the problem and discovered that the river most often overflowed when winter snow at the top of the nearby Mount Yulei began to melt as the weather warmed.The simplest fix was to build a dam, but this would have ruined the Minjiang River. So instead Li designed a series of channels built at different levels along Mount Yulei that would take away the floodwater while leaving the river flowing naturally. Better still, the extra water could be directed to the dry Chengdu Plain, making it suitable for farming.Cutting the channels through the hard rock of Mount Yulei was a remarkable accomplishment as it was done long before the invention gunpowder and explosives. £1Bing found another solution. He used a combination of fire and water to heat and cool the rocks until they cracked and could be removed. After eight years of work, the 20-metre-wide canals had been carved through the mountain.Once the system was finished, no more floods occurred and the people were able to live peacefully and affluently. Today, Dujiangyan is admired by scientists from around the world because of one feature. Unlike modem dams where the water is blocked with a huge wall, Dujiangyan still lets water flow through the Minjiang River naturally, enabling ecosystems and fish populations to exist in harmony.24．What are the benefits of Dujiangyan according to the first paragraph? _____A．Reducing flooding and watering farmland.B．Protecting the mountain and reducing flooding.C．Watering farmland and improving water quality.D．Drying the river and supplying cities with water.25．What was the main cause of the Minjiang Rivers flooding? _____A．Heavy rains.B．Melting snow.C．Low river banks.D．Steep mountains.26．How was Li Bing able to break through the rocks of Mount Y ulei? _____A．By using gunpowder.B．By flooding the rocks with water.C．By applying a heating and cooling technique.D．By breaking the rocks with hammers and spades.27．Why is Dujiangyan greatly admired by scientists today? _____A．It preserves much of the natural river life.B．It took very little time to complete the project.C．The building techniques used were very modem.D．It has raised the living standards of the local people.CBill Gates recently predicted that online learning will make place﹣based colleges less significant, and five years from now, students will be able to find the best lectures in the world online. I applaud Mr. Gates. But what's taking us so long?As early as 1997, MIT（麻省理工）decided to post videos of all university lectures online, for free, for all people. But today, how many students have you met who mastered advanced mathematics or nuclear physics from an MIT online video? Unfortunately, the answer is not many.The problem is the poor quality of online education websites and the experience they provide to students. Those who go to the MIT website and watch courses online are surely very smart people, but ifs not like playing a video game such as World of Warcraft. Only the most ardent students, those who are highly motivated, will devote themselves to studying these boring online videos.The real question is why we aren't spending more to develop better online education platforms. Where is the Avatar of education? Think about this. The market for Hollywood films per year is worth around 30billion USD．Education in the world is a trillion-dollar-a-year market, hundreds of times bigger than Hollywood movies. Yet the most expensive digital learning system ever built cost well under 100million dollars.Bill Gates’ prediction is going to happen. There is no doubt about it. But it will only happen when we create high level educational content and experiences that engage and excite more than has ever been possible in the real world.28．What has Bill Gates forecast about online learning? _____A．It will concentrate on physics lectures.B．It will completely replace real universities.C．It will help to make universities more successful.D．It will play an increasingly important role in education.29．What does the underlined word “ardent” in Paragraph 3 mean? _____A．Creative.B．Enthusiastic.C．Well-behaved.D．Experienced.30．According to the author, what is holding back the popularity of online learning? _____A．The lack of lectures available online.B．The high cost of access to the websites.C．The low standard of educational websites.D．The competition with online computer games.31．Why does the author mention Hollywood? _____A．To show that Hollywood produces many successful movies.B．To prove that education is more profitable than entertainment.C．To argue that movie directors should produce educational content.D．To urge that more money be spent developing educational websites.DPersuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion: ethos, pathos, and logos.Ethos is a speaker's way of convincing the audience that she is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all, you're more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman. A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person. If an audience cannot trust you, you will not be able to persuade them.Pathos is a speaker's way of connecting with an audience's emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them support him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats, to make the viewers feel pity. If the audience feels bad for the animals, they will be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of facts, statistics, or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying” believe me”.Although ethos, pathos, and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. Indeed, most speakers use a combination of ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade their audiences. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial, or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.32．Why does the author say persuasion is an art? _____A．They both entertain the audience.B．They both require great skill to achieve.C．They both demand full attention from the audience.D．They were both common topics of ancient Greek writers.33．How is a speaker able to show her ethos to the audience? _____A．By expressing her sympathy with the audience.B．By telling the audience about her personal preference.C．By using beautiful language to make her statements attractive.D．By showing her knowledge and experience relating to the topic.34．What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion? _____A．Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion.B．Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.C．Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.D．Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience.35．An advertisement for washing powder which claims that M scientific tests show that our powder kills 95% of all bacteria” is mainly using _____.A．ethos.B．pathos.C．logos.D．a combination of all three.第二节（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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

AInside the Rain RoomThe Rain Room has arrived and local art lovers are taking notice. Is it worth the wait? Yes, I assure you it is. Once inside, visitors find a long, dark room with a high ceiling. A single bright light shines through heavy rain falling around visitors. The mist. The damp air. The noise. It feels like a mighty storm is pouring down. But the storm is inside. And vi sitors aren’t getting wet. Instead, visitors wander in awe, admiring the rain and the artists who created it.The Rain Room was created to highlight the connection between humans, nature and technology. With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain wherever visitors move, it does just that. Light and sound produce an experience that feels both natural and foreign. The exhibit is moving on to Atlanta next month. I urge you to visit before then. It’s time to experience the Rain Room for yourself!Welcome to the Rain Room•The Rain Room features falling water.

Built over 2,200 years ago in what is now Sichuan Province in Southwest China, this amazing engineering achievement is still used today to irrigate over 6,000 square kilometres of farmland, take away floodwater and provide water for 50 cities m the province.In ancient times, the region in which Dujiangyan now stands suffered from regular floods caused by overflow from the Minjiang River. To help the victims of the flooding, Li Bing, the region^ governor, together with his son, decided to find a solution. They studied the problem and discovered that the river most often overflowed when winter snow at the top of the nearby Mount Yulei began to melt as the weather warmed.The simplest fix was to build a dam, but this would have ruined the Minjiang River. So instead Li designed a series of channels built at different levels along Mount Yulei that would take away the floodwater while leaving the river flowing naturally. Better still, the extra water could be directed to the dry Chengdu Plain, making it suitable for farming.Cutting the channels through the hard rock of Mount Yulei was a remarkable accomplishment as it was done long before the invention gunpowder and explosives. £1 Bing found another solution. He used a combination of fire and water to heat and cool the rocks until they cracked and could be removed. After eight years of work, the 20-metre-wide canals had been carved through the mountain.Once the system was finished, no more floods occurred and the people were able to live peacefully and affluently. Today, Dujiangyan is admired by scientists from around the world because of one feature. Unlike modem dams where the water is blocked with a huge wall,Dujiangyan still lets water flow through the Minjiang River naturally, enabling ecosystems and fish populations to exist in harmony.24. What are the benefits of Dujiangyan according to the first paragraph?A. Reducing flooding and watering farmland.B. Protecting the mountain and reducing flooding.C. Watering farmland and improving water quality.D. Drying the river and supplying cities with water.25. What was the main cause of the Minjiang Rivers flooding?A. Heavy rains.B. Melting snow.C. Low river banks.D. Steep mountains.26. How was Li Bing able to break through the rocks of Mount Yulei?A. By using gunpowder.B. By flooding the rocks with water.C. By applying a heating and cooling technique.D. By breaking the rocks with hammers and spades.27. Why is Dujiangyan greatly admired by scientists today?A. It preserves much of the natural river life.B. It took very little time to complete the project.C. The building techniques used were very modem.D. It has raised the living standards of the local people.CBill Gates recently predicted that online learning will make place-based colleges less significant, and five years from now, students will be able to find the best lectures in the world online. I applaud Mr. Gates. But what’s taking us so long?As early as 1997, MIT (麻省理工）decided to post videos of all university lectures online, for free, for all people. But today, how many students have you met who mastered advanced mathematics or nuclear physics from an MIT online video? Unfortunately, the answer is not many.The problem is the poor quality of online education websites and the experience they provide to students. Those who go to the MIT website and watch courses online are surely very smart people, but ifs not like playing a video game such as World of Warcraft. Only the most ardent students, those who are highly motivated, will devote themselves to studying these boring online videos.The real question is why we aren’t spending more to develop better online education platforms. Where is the Avatar of education? Think about this. The market for Hollywood films per year is worth around 30 billion USD. Education in the world is a trillion-dollar-a-year market, hundreds of times bigger than Hollywood movies. Yet the most expensive digital learning system ever built cost well under 100 million dollars.Bill Gates’ prediction is going to happen. There is no doubt about it. But it will only happen when we create high level educational content and experiences that engage and excite more than has ever been possible in the real world.28. What has Bill Gates forecast about online learning?A. It will concentrate on physics lectures.B. It will completely replace real universities.C. It will help to make universities more successful.D. It will play an increasingly important role in education.29. What does the underlined word “ardent” in Paragraph 3 mean?.A. Creative.B. Enthusiastic.C. Well-behaved.D. Experienced.30. According to the author, what is holding back the popularity of online learning?A. The lack of lectures available online.B. The high cost of access to the websites.C. The low standard of educational websites.D. The competition with online computer games.31. Why does the author mention Hollywood?A. To show that Hollywood produces many successful movies.B. To prove that education is more profitable than entertainment.C. To argue that movie directors should produce educational content.D. To urge that more money be spent developing educational websites.DPersuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion : ethos, pathos, and logos.Ethos is a speakers way of convincing the audience that she is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all, you’re more likely t o listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman. A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person. If an audience cannot trust you, you will notbe able to persuade them.Pathos is a speaker’s way of connecting with an audience’s emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them support him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats, to make the viewers feel pity. If the audience feels bad for the animals, they will be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of facts, statistics, or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying “believe me”.Although ethos, pathos, and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. Indeed, most speakers use a combination of ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade their audiences. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial, or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.32. Why does the author say persuasion is an art?A. They both entertain the audience.B. They both require great skill to achieve.C. They both demand full attention from the audience.D. They were both common topics of ancient Greek writers.33. How is a speaker able to show her ethos to the audience?A. By expressing her sympathy with the audience.B. By telling the audience about her personal preference.C. By using beautiful language to make her statements attractive.D. By showing her knowledge and experience relating to the topic. .34. What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion?A. Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion.B. Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.C. Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.D. Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience.35. An advertisement for washing powder which claims that M scientific tests show that our powder kills 95% of all bacteria” is mainly using _________.A. ethosB. pathosC. logosD. a combination of all three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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

"keeping up with the Joneses" is about．It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors．The express0ion was first used in 1913by a young American called Arthur Momand．He told this story about himself．He began earning $ 125a week at the age of 23．That was a lot of money in those days．He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City．When he saw that rich people rode horses，Momand went horseback riding every day．When he saw that rich people had servants，Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors．It was like a race，but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up．The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life．They moved back to an apartment in New York City．Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep upwith rich lifestyle of their neighbors．He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories．He called it "Keeping up with the Joneses" because "Jones" is a very common name in the United States．"Keeping up with the Joneses" came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you．Momand's series appeared in different newspapers throughout the country for over 28years．People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses．And there are "Joneses" in every city of the world．But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does，Mr．Jones always seems to be ahead．31．Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they．A．want to be as rich as their neighborsB．want others to know or to think that they are richC．don't want others to know they are richD．want to look like their neighbors32．It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to．A．live outside New York CityB．live in New York CityC．live in apartmentsD．live with many neighbors33．Arthur Momand used the name "Jones" in his series of short stories because at that time "Jones" is in the United States．A．an important nameB．a popular nameC．his neighbor's nameD．not a good name34．According to Arthur Momand's story，which of the following is Not True ？A．Arthur Momand earned a lot of money every week．B．Arthur Momand hired a servant and gave big parties．C．Arthur Momand moved back to a flat in New York City．D．Arthur Momand married a wealthy wife in the neighborhood．35．According to the last sentence underlined，what's the writer's attitude towards"keeping up with the Joneses" ？A．It is very common to keep up with the Joneses．B．It is very easy to keep up with the Joneses．C．It is difficult to always keep up with the Joneses．D．It is never too tired to keep up with the Joneses．5．（10分）Although people everywhere seem to enjoy drinking coffee，they don't all have the same coffee culture．In Europe for example，coffee shops are common places for people to meet friends while they drink coffee．On the other hand，places like this were not as common in North America in the past．Instead，people in North America liked to drink coffee in their homes with friends．The coffee culture in the USA changed，when Starbucks （星巴克）coffee shops spread throughout the country．The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971in downtown Seattle，Washington，in the USA．It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans．The coffee shop's business did well，and by 1981there were three Starbucks stores in Seattle．Things really began to change for the company in 1981．That year，Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks．Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment （设备）．He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers，which caused his great interest．Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did．In 1982，the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company's head of marketing （市场营销）．In 1983，Schultz traveled to Italy．The special environment of the espresso （浓咖啡）bars there caught his eyes．Back in the USA，Schultz created an environment for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual，and customers everywhere seemed to like it．Starbucks began opening more stores inthe USA．Then the company opened coffee shops in other countries as well．Today，there are more than 16，000Starbucks coffee shops all over the world．However，that does not mean Starbucks has not had problems．In fact，many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years．On the one hand，this is because there were too many coffee shops competing （竞争）for business in one small area．On the other hand，stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the comfortable environment offered by Starbucks．36．The underlined word "ran" in Paragraph 3probably means．A．closedB．managedC．madeD．sold37．According to the passage，which is the right order for the following sentences？a．This man helped to make Starbucks a huge coffee company．b．Starbucks began as a small coffee company in Seattle in the USA．c．He went to Seattle to learn about the company and later worked for it．d．Howard Schultz found Starbucks ordered lots of special coffee makers．A．a﹣b﹣d﹣cB．c﹣a﹣b﹣dC．b﹣d﹣c﹣aD．d﹣c﹣a﹣b38．Why did so many Starbucks close in small areas？A．Because the coffee in these places was too expensiveB．Because the style of the coffee stores seems the same．C．Because people like to drink coffee at home with friendsD．Because there were too many coffee shops in one place．39．To tell us the story of Starbucks，the writer did the following except．A．introducing how Starbucks became successfulB．showing what Schultz did to help Starbucks become successfulC．telling what difficulties Starbucks facesD．telling what Starbucks did to deal with his problems40．What's the best title for the passage？A．The History of StarbucksB．The Culture of StarbucksC．The Popularity of StarbucksD．The environment of Starbucks6．（10分）Do you have a good sense of direction？If not，please take with you a compass．But if you forget to take a compass，you can still find your way during the trip．Suppose you are hiking with your family somewhere in the mountain in Dan Xia Mountain，you need to find the direction of south to find your way back．But none of your family members can read the map and actually knows where the family is．Never mind．The sun is shining and it's still morning．If you don't know the exact time，you can still find out where south is，but you'll need to be patient．①Find a straight stick and put it in the ground in a place where you can mark itsshadow．②Try to put the stick as vertically （垂直）as you can．You can check this bymaking a simple plumb line （铅锤线）with a piece of string （绳子）and weight．You haven't got any string？Ok，use a thread from your clothes with a button tied at the end to act as a weight．③After the stick is put vertically，you can see its shadow on the ground．Mark theend of the shadow．④Wait about half an hour and mark the end of the shadow again．⑤Keep doing this until you have made several marks．⑥The mark nearest the stick will show the shortest shadow when it is midday，because at that time the sun is highest in the sky and pointing to the exact south．⑦Pick a point in the distance along the line between the shortest shadow and thestick．⑧That point is south of where you are．⑨Now you can turn the map，like you did before，and find which way you shouldchoose for traveling．41．To find the direction，we ought to be patient probably because．A．it is not easy to find a proper stickB．it is not easy to put the stick verticallyC．it takes hours to make the marksD．it takes hours to make a plumb line．42．The passage would probably be most helpful to．A．those who draw mapsB．those who get lostC．those who make compassesD．those who likes making marks43．According to the passage，which of the following are needed to find the direction of south？①It is a fine day and the

stick．A．①③④B．①②③C．②③④D．③④⑤44．The author tells us how to find the direction of south by．A．telling an interesting storyB．doing an experiment himselfC．testing an idea by reasoningD．introducing a useful
