2017高考英语真题分类汇编阅读理解真题汇总一Scientists around the world have been studying the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean known as El Nino. The appearance of El Nino is known to affect the weather around the world. Scientists still do not completely understand it. Yet they now find they can use it to tell about the future in different areas of the world.One example is the work of two scientists at Columbia University in New York, Mark Cane and Gordon Eshel. A scientist of Zimbabwe, Roger Buckland worked with them. They have found that when El Nino appears, Zimbabwe has little or no rain. This means corn crops in Zimbabwe are poor. The last El Nino was in 1991 to 1993.That was when southeastern Africa suffered a serious lack of rain.The scientists wrote about their recent work in the publication Nature. Their computer program can tell when an El Nino will develop up to a year before it does. They suggest that this could provide an effective early warning system for southern Africa, and could prevent many people from starving.1.El Nino is known as ______ .A.the changing of the weather in southern AfricaB.the warming of waters in the Pacific OceanC.the weather which brings drought(旱灾)to AfricaD.the weather phenomenon(现象)that brings heavy rains to Africa2.Scientists study El Nino in order that ______ .A.they can provide a kind of early warning to the place thatwill suffer from drought B.they can tell why Zimbabwe has little or no rain C.they can do some research work in this field.D.they can put all this information into their computers.3.Which of the following is true according to the article? A.Scientists come to understand how El Nino appears. B.Three scientists from theU.S.A. work on this subject.C.Southern Africa suffered a serious drought and many people died from hunger.D.El Nino has something to do with Zimbabwe's crops.4.Which of the following is not true according to the article?A.The computer is used in this research work.B.Scientists know when an El Nino appears by means of computer program.C.The scientists published their results of the research work.D.Nature is the name of the article written recently by the scientists. 5.Choose the best title for this article.A.Appearance of El Nino Predictable(可预报的)B.Drought in ZimbabweC.Early warning systemD.Weather in Africa答案：BADDA2017高考英语真题分类汇编阅读理解真题汇总二Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally(文化的)programmed. In other words, we learn our looks ---- we are not born with them. A baby has generally unformed face features(特征). A baby, according to Bird whistle, learns where to set the eyebrows(眉毛)by looking at those around ---- family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the United States look so much alike, New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that cannot be explained by genetics(遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas. In the United States, for example, the South is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York State still less. Many Southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgi A.People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than do people in small towns.1.Ray Bird whistle believes physical appearanceA.has little to do with culture.B.has much to do with culture.C.is ever changing.D.is different from place to place2.According to the passage, the final mouth shape is formedA.before birth.B.as soon as one's teeth are newly set.C.sometime after new teeth are set.D.around 15 years old.3.Ray Bird whistle can tell what area of the United States a person is from byA.how much he or she smiles.B.how he or she raises his or her eyebrows.C.what he or she likes best.D.the way he or she talks.4.People who live ______ are more friendlyA.in largely populated areasB.in New York cityC.in the countryD.in the North5.This passage might have been taken out of a book dealing withA.physicsB.chemistryC.biologyD.none of the above答案：BBACD2017高考英语真题分类汇编阅读理解真题汇总三Over two thousand years ago Rome(罗马)was the center of a huge empire. The Romans needed a way to move their large armies quickly so that they could protect their huge country. They needed land trade routes, so they joined all parts of their empire by a net-work ofroads(公路网).Beginning in 300 B.C., the Romans built roads in Europe, Asia and North Africa. By 200A.D., they had built 50, 000 miles of almost straight roads.To build their roads, the Romans moved away all soft soil. They dug until they reached hard ground. Then they added layers(层)of stone and other things. The most important roads were paved(铺设)with large flat(平)stones. Main Roman roads were sometimes as wide as ours today.To build their roads, the Romans sometimes had to dig tunnels through mountains. But they didn't have any machines to help them. So they heated the rock with fire and then threw cold water over it. When the rock cracked(裂), they dug it out. Roman soldiers and slaves built the roads with their hands and simple tools, but the roads were so well built that they were used for hundreds of years.1.The story tells us ______ .A.building roads without modern machines was Romansoldiers‘ only jobB.it was no easy job for the Romans to build their roadsC.people in advanced countries still use the old Roman way to build their roads todayD.most people in the African countries still use the old Roman way to dig their tunnels through the mountains2.To build mountain roads, the old Romans had to ______ .A.explode the rock before they started to digB.crack the rock with fire and cold waterC.dig through the hard rock with their handsD.invent some machines to help them with the work3.On the whole, the story is about ______ .A.how to build up our modern roads todayB.Roman tools in building a wide straight roadC.the Romans‘ roads built two thousand years agoD.the reason why the Romans had to build their roads4.Why did the Romans build so many roads at that time? It was because ______ .A.their slaves and soldiers had to do something, or, they would have nothing to doB.they dared not sail in the ocean and the roads were their only choiceC.they needed land trade roads and the roads to move their grand armies as quickly as possibleD.the old Romans wanted to show how clever they were in building the roads5.According to the passage, which of the following four choices is correct?A.The old Romans found soft soil did not make a solid base for the road.B.The Romans built roads only on flat(平)landC.Flat stones were mostly used in the roads of AsiaD.The old Romans used to make use of the soft soil for the base of their roads in North Africa答案：BBCCA。

Businesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn pr oduced influence on consumers’ desire to go green. However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns. Two thirds of customers say that environmental consideration s inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a yea r ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even b etter aware of the environmental effect on what they buy. This may help to influence how shops store goods on their sh elves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible compani es, with about one in seven saying that they had even decide d to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s envir onmental reputation was not good enough.Harry Morrison, chief executive（主管）of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes：“I understand this situation where survival is very important no w. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking—we don’t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an i mmediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.”Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducin g their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require bu sinesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissi ons（排放）. Those that have taken early action will have a head star t. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about whic h companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests t hat firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the pu blic will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing custo mers about the good work companies are doing. “When comp anies are granted（授予）the standard, they can use a logo （标识）in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are workin g towards cutting emissions,” Mr. Morrison said.( ) 1. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.B. Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.C. Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep g oods at home.D. Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers’ envi ronmental awareness.( ) 2. The underlined word “inform” in Paragraph 2 probably means“”.A. affectB. changeC. disturbD. reject( ) 3. According to Harry Morrison, businesses .A. will benefit from cutting carbon emissionsB. should buy carbon allowances for shoppersC. are required to make up for their carbon emissionsD. have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere ( ) 4.

Many of us still tend to think that emotions can affect reasonable thought，and sometimes land us in trouble. But in recent years psychologists have taken quite a different view. Keith Oatley，Professor of Psychology at Glasgow University，is involved in the research which shows the fundamental importance of emotions.He believes we are very ambivalent about them：we think of our emotions as being unreasonable，but we also consider them asessential to being human.For example，Mr Spock，a character in the television series Star Trek，is superintelligent and he has no emotions at all.However，he is never made captain of thespaceship.Maybe，this is because Mr Spock is not the kind of person you can share your feelings with—a person who shows his emotions.As Professor Oatley points out，our emotions have very important functions，for example，fear.If we cross the road and a car approaches，we usually stop moving or step back.We stop what we are doing，check what we have done and pay very careful attention to the environment.The emotion of fear makes us take this small series of actions which，on average，help preserve our safety.On the other hand，if things are going well and small problems come up，we find we can solve them with the resources we have to hand.As a consequence，we tend to feel happy and usually continue doing the job.Anger is an emotion that tends to occur when someone is preventing us from doing something.Then this small “kit” of reactions enables us to prepare ourselves to be quite aggressive to that person，or to try harder，and so on.Professor Oatley believes emotions generally occur at these important moments in actions.With fear and anger our emotions make us decide to start doing something else，while with happiness they “suggest” we continue what we are already doing.1.What’s Keith Oatley’s opinion about emotions?A．They affect reasonable thought.B．They get us into trouble.C．They are helpful to us.D．They are reasonable.2.What does the underlined part “we are very ambivalent about them”in Paragraph 2 mean?A．We have contradictory feelings towards emotions.B．We have similar ideas of emotions.C．We are quite clear about emotions.D．We can do nothing about emotions.3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．Fear helps us to be careful about our surroundings.B．Happiness inspires us to continue what we are doing.C．Anger may urge us to make greater efforts.D．Anger tends to do us more harm than good.4.It can be inferred from the passage that________.A．we must control our emotions in daily lifeB．emotions play a more important part than we realizeC．positive emotions such as love and joy are good for us D．negative emotions make us continue what we are doingSYS20170810060详细信息2. 难度：中等阅读理解。

下面是店铺为大家推荐的2017高考英语阅读理解试题汇总，仅供大家参考!2017高考英语阅读理解试题汇总(一)The blue eyes that looked at him from outside the door were like the light through a magnifying glass (放大镜) when it is at its brightest and smallest, when paper and leaves begin to smoke.“Hey ,” said the man in the door. “Remember me?”“Yes,” the boy said, whispering. “Rick.”He felt so surprised to see Rick. All of Rick seemed to be shown in the eyes, with a strong feeling that ought to have hurt him“You knew me,” Rick said. “You hadn’t forgotten.”“You’re ——just the same,” the boy said, and felt much thankful.He seemed even to be wearing the same clothes, the same blue shirt and grey trousers. He was thin, but he was built to be lean; and he was still, or again, sunburnt (晒黑了). After everything, the slow white smile still showed the slight feeling of happiness.“Let’s look at you,” Rick said, dropping into a chair. Then slowly he felt more at home, and he became once more just Rick, as if nothing had happened. There were lines about his eyes, and deeper lines on his cheeks (面颊), but he looked like——just Rick, lined by sunlight and smiling.“When I look at you,” he said, “You make me think about me, for we look like each other.”“Yes,” said the boy, eagerly, “they all think we both look like my grandfather.”1. On his return , Rick ______.A. had not changed muchB. looked very oldC. was much thinner than beforeD. was wearing different clothes2. Rick and the boy are probably ______.A. brothersB. relatedC. friendsD. neighbours3. You could describe Rick as ______.A. old and friendlyB. old and nervousC. thin and nervousD. thin and friendly4. From the passage we can tell that the boy ______.A. was worried that Rick had forgotten himB. was proud of what Rick had doneC. was pleased to see RickD. wondered where Rick had been5. Rick and the boy ______.A. had similar personalitiesB. cared about each otherC. had lived in the same houseD. felt their friendship had changed答案：1A 2 B 3 D 4 C 5 B2017高考英语阅读理解试题汇总(二)Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate (交际) with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell---a signal (信号) causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words. Wecan talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending message?1. It can be concluded from the passage that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that ______.A. are lying on the groundB. have an unpleasant tasteC. bees don’t likeD. have an unfamiliar shape2. The willow tree described in the passage protected itself by ______.A. growing more branchesB. communicating with birds and beesC. changing its leaf chemistryD. shaking caterpillars off3. According to the passage, the willow tree was able to communicate with other trees by ______.A. waving its branchesB. giving off a special smellC. dropping its leavesD. changing the colour of its trunk4. According to this passage, bees communicate by ______.A. making special movementB. touching one anotherC. smelling one anotherD. making unusual sound5. The author believes that the incident described in the passage ______.A. cannot be taken seriouslyB. should no longer be permittedC. must be checked more thoroughlyD. seems completely reasonable答案：1B 2 C 3 B 4 A 5 D2017高考英语阅读理解试题汇总(三)The year was 1932. Amelia Earhart was flying alone from North America to England in a small single—engined aeroplane. At midnight, several hours after she had left Newfoundland, she ran into bad weather. To make things worse, her altimeter (高度表) failed and she didn’t k now how high she was flying. At night, and in a storm, a pilot is in great difficulty without an altimeter.

The rest goes to glue (胶水), soap, margarine (人造奶油), pet food and fertilizer.Fishermen usually freeze fish they catch at sea. Back in port, they defrost the fish, make the fish have no bones in it and sell it as fresh fish.Over ninety-five percent of fish caught is in the northern hemisphere.

2017高考英语阅读理解题真题汇编(一)I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could getyou into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked asif I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen t he day she talkedto me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure shecontinued to believe that I had cheated on the test.1.

Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality (音色) and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice areusually fixed beforehand (预先). What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play： they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand somet hing, they say so. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage-play because they could not keep strictly to what another had written.1. What is the text about ?A. How to become a good teacher.B. What a good teacher should do outside the classroom.C. What teachers and actors could learn from each other.D. The similarities(相似处) and differences between a teacher’s work and an actor’s.2. The word “audience” in the fourth paragraph means ____ .A. studentsB. people who watch a playC. people who not on the stageD. people who listen to something3. A good teacher ____ .A. knows how to hold the interest of his studentsB. must have a good voiceC. knows how to act on the stageD. stands or sits still while teaching4. In what way is a teacher’s work different from an actor’s ?A. The teacher must learn everything by heart .B. He knows how to control his voice better than an actor .C. He has to deal with unexpected situations .D. He has to use more facial expressions .5. The main difference between students in class and a theatre audience is that ____.A. students can move around in the classroomB. students must keep silent while theatre audience needn’tC. no memory work is needed for the studentsD. the students must take part in their teachers’ plays6. Why is it that some good teachers are unable to play well on the stage ?A. Nobody has taught them how to act on the stage .B. Their audiences are different .C. It is impossible for them to do so much memory work .D. They are not used to repeating exactly the same words .7. Which of the following is true ?A. Teachers have to learn by heart what they are going to say in class .B. A teacher cannot decide beforehand what exactly he is going to say in class .C. A teacher must speak louder than an actor .D. A teacher must have a better memory than an actor .答案：1D 2 A 3 A 4 C 5 D 6 D 7 B2017高考英语阅读理解题真题汇编(三)In 1909 an English newspaper offered £ 1,000 to the first man to fly across the English Channel in an aeroplane.

It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, Everything else seems blurry(=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near—sighted. ThenPeople who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading ,they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object our of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.1. We should take good care of our eyes .A. only when we can see wellB. only when we cannot see perfectlyC. even if we can see wellD. only when we realize how important our eyes are2. When things far away seem indistinct(模糊不清) , one is probably .A. near-sightedB. far-sightedC. astigmaticD. suffering from cataracts3. The underlined word suffer in the third paragraph probably means .A. experienceB. imagineC. feel painD. are affected with4. Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for .A. seeing at nightB. seeing objects far awayC. looking over a wide areaD. judging distances5. People who suffer from astigmatism have .A. one eye bigger than the otherB. eyes that are not exactly the right shapeC. a difficulty that can be corrected by an operationD. an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glasses答案：1C 2 A 3 D 4 D 5 B。

2017高考英语真题分类汇编阅读理解真题汇编一Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space. The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural difference,not an economic one. Knowing your own psychological (心理的) space needs is important because they strongly affect yourchoices,including,for example,the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms,the chances are,if you have two children or more,that you also will offer separate bedrooms for them. In America,for example,they train people to want to have their own rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies. This is very rare in the world. In many other countries,the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in bed near them.The space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs. Some families gather closer to each other and the size of their house has nothing to do with it. Others have separate little corners where family members go to bed alone.Although it is true that psychological space needs are not decided by economic reasons,they sometimes have to be changed a little because of economic pressures. It is almost impossible,however,to completely change your psychological space needs.1. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means " ______ ". A. No two people need exactly the same amount of living space B. The requirements of living space are not always the sameC. The world requires the same amount of living spaceD. Nobody needs a required amount of living space2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Americans are trained to live in large rooms at birth. B. Economic situation decides one's amount of space needs.C. People in various countries demand different psychological space.D. Knowing your psychological space needs is important, as it affects your future.( B )The Red Cross is an international organization which cares for people who are in need of help. A man in Paris hospital who needs blood,a woman in Mexico who was injured in an earthquake,and a family in India that lost their home in a storm may all be aided by the Red Cross.The Red Cross exists in almost every country around the globe. The world Red Cross organizations are sometimes called the Red Crescent,the Red Mogen David,the Sun,and the Red Lion. All of these agencies (机构) share a common goal of trying to help people in need.The idea of forming an organization to help the sick and wounded during a war started with Jean Henri Dunant. In 1859,he observed how people were suffering on a battle field in Italy. He wanted to help all the wounded people regardless of which side they were fighting for. The most important result of his work was an international treaty(条约)called the Geneva Convention. It protects prisoners of war,the sick and wounded, and other citizens during a war.The American Red Cross was set up by Clara Barton in 1881. Today the Red Cross in the United States provides a number of services for the public,such as helping people in need,teaching first aid and providing blood.3. A good title for this selection is ______ . A. People in Need of Help B. Safety and Protection C. The International Red CrossD. Forming an Organization to Help the Soldiers4. The underlined word "aided" in Paragraph 1 means " ______ ".A. neededB. helpedC. caughtD. protected[答案与解析]1. B。

If he is very hungry, it will difficult for him to pay enough attention to anything except his need for food.While all men feel hungry, there is more than one method for helping free people of this uncomfortable feeling. How needs are satisfying depends on what we have been taught or what we have learned from our experiences.

Nature has not built a food – getting response into man. He cannot just eat whatever he wants of whenever there is food, his satisfaction of the hunger drive, for example, is limited by the rules of a society. Although we are hunger, according to the rules of society, we should not steal food, even if it belongs someone weaker than we are.1.According to the passage, ―drives‖ _____.A.can be brought about by motivationB..can always decide man‘s actionC.direct man‘s energy toward certain goalsD.follow man‘s motivations2. ____ is a biological need.A.MotivationB.

Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all!

UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.“Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan. “What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.”Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran.Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me, it’s the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “so I want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster.”28．Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?A．To remember the birth of jazz.B．To protect cultural diversity.C．To encourage people to study music.D．To recognize the value of jazz.29．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?A．Jazz becoming more accessible.B．The production of jazz growing faster.C．Jazz being less popular with the young.D．The jazz audience becoming larger.30．What can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz?A．It will disappear gradually.B．It remains black and white.C．It should keep up with the times.D．It changes every 50 years.31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Exploring the Future of Jazz.B．The Rise and Fall of Jazz.C．The Story of a Jazz Musician.D．Celebrating the Jazz Day.DA buld-it-yourself solar still（蒸馏器） is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to×find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5＇ 5＇ sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container— perhaps just a drinking cup — to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up — and out — the side of the hole.Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment zxxk out through the tube, and won’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink.32. What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?A. It’s delicate.B. It’s expensive.C. It’s complex.D. It’s portable.33. What does the underlined phrase “the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The tube.B. The still.C. The hole.D. The cup.34. What’s the last step of constructing a working solar still?A. Dig a hole of a certain size.B. Put the cup in place.C. Weight the sheet’s center down.D. Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.35. When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup form .A. the plastic tubeB. outside the holeC. the open airD. beneath the sheet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。

2017高考英语真题分类汇编阅读理解真题及答案一In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The ―spider story‖ is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hidingin a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web(蜘蛛织网). The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times without success. On the seventh time he made it and went on tospin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English… Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time?Second, is the goal(目标)you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about his question, “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?”This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing anyway.The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it's apart of life. Learn to ―live with yourself‖ even though you may have failed. Remember, ―You can't win them all.‖1.This passage deals with two sides of failure.

Women and men do not runor swim in the same races. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called the weaker sex, or, if men want to please them, the fair sex.

They choose a quiet place, dig a deep hole and bury the treasure in it. Then they make a map of where the treasure is or write down other clues(线索)that will help them or someone else to find it again.In Britain a few years ago; a writer wrote about some treasure that he had buried. He put clues in the story to help readers find it. Thousands of people hunted for the treasure. They dug holes all over Britain, hoping to find it.One of the most popular adventure stories ever written is Robert Louis Stephenson's ‗Treasured Island‘, an exciting story about a young boy, Jim Hawkins, who is captured by pirates and later finds some buried treasure.Then there is the true story about a man who had to travel overseas for a year. He did not trust banks, so he buried his life savings in a park. Then he went away. On his return, he went straight to the park. But the park was no longer there. In its place there was a huge building.And then there was the man who buried his savings, all in bank notes, in a waterproof(防水的) bag. When he dug it up years later, there was nothing left. Worms and insects had eaten the bag and everything in it.And of course, these are stories about people who bury things and either forget where they have buried them or lose the map.Although it is true that people sometimes lose their money because a bank fails, banks are still the safest place to keep our savings and treasures.1.People who bury treasure usuallyA.do not trust banksB.have a little money .C.want to live in a quiet place.D.expect to lose it2.The writer in BritainA.really had buried something.B.started a nationwide treasure hunt.C.had lost his treasure and wanted people to help him find it.D.caused trouble because people dug holes everywhere.3.―Treasure Island‖A.is a story about pirates.B.is about the adventures of Jim Hawkins.C.is the most popular story ever writtenD.is a well-known fairy tale.4.The man who buried his money in a parkA.thought his money was safer there than in a bank.B.travelled on the sea for a year.C.got his life savings back again.D.stayed away longer than he expected.5 .
