中职英语高考复习模拟试题及含答案：阅读理解阅读理解（共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AThere are many things we need to know that we do not learn at school. For example, if we want to use our money wisely, we need to shop carefully. We need to know how to compare the prices of the things in different shops. We need to be able to compare the quality of different brands(品牌). We need to know how to make a choice when we shop. Knowing how to make such choices is a “life skill”, and we need these skills if we are to live useful and happy lives.Some of these choices are small. For example, will I take an apple for lunch or a pear? Will I go to school by bus or on foot? Will I wear the red T-shirt or the blue one to the movies? Other choices are more important. For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food because it is tastier? Will I work hard in all my classes or will I only work hard in the classes I enjoy? We make choices like this every day.We have to realize that the choices we make can affect（影响）the rest of our lives. Just as importantly, our choices can also affect other people. The next time you decide to waste time in class, play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movies, think about this: Who else doesyour choice affect?56.

She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice. In November I was finally able to get her back to her “home”.Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days. When she finally realized that that happy moment was not going to happen, she was very sad. Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy, I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!On Christmas Eve, I gave her a surprise by asking if she would like to go to a candlelight service at church that night.Instead of taking her to my church, I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were. We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in. Then soon some of her friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with her.The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there.The truth of the story is that I am the one who got the best gift: the smile on Alice’s face.64.

The true loveDThe American book Who Moved My Cheese has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don't be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changingfrom having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two "little people" and some cheese(奶酪).The four are in a maze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can't change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can't do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.68. What does the text mainly discussA. Never change in our lifeB. Change when you like to doC. Change with the changesD. Pay attention to the changes.69. The underlined word "four"(paragraph 3)refers to ______.A. Mice and little peopleB. StudentsC. CheeseD.Readers70. In our lives, we should learn from _________.A. miceB. little peopleC. ChrisD. Spence Johnson71. Which of the following statements is trueA. The author is BritainB. There are three terms in every school.C. Most teens don't understand Chris' storyD. The book tells teens how to face changes in their livesEWhen friends come to visit us in the evening, they spend their time telling us they are in a hurry and looking at their watches. It isn’t that our friends are all very busy, it is just that we haven’t got a television. People think t hat we are very strange. “But what do you do in the evening?”，they are always asking. The answer is very simple. Both my wife and I have hobbies. We certainly don’t spend our evenings staring at the walls. My wife enjoys cooking and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign languages. This is particularly useful as we often go abroad for our holidays. I collect stamps and I’m always busy with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to the music and playing chess together. Sometimes there are power cuts and we have no electricity in the house. This does not worry us, we just light candles and carry on with what wewere doing before. Our friends, however, are lost---no television!---So they don’t know what to do. On such evenings our house is very full ---they all come to us. They all have a good time. Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television, everybody talks and plays games.72. The couple have not got a television, because .A. they are not rich enoughB. they are strange peopleC. they enjoy spending evenings in their own waysD. they don’t know what to do when there are power cuts73.

AMy father was a self-taught mandolin（一种琵琶乐器）player. He was one of the best string instrument players in our town .He could not read music，but if he heard a tune a few times，he could play it. When he was young，he was a member of a small country music band. They would play at local dances and on a few occasions would play for the local radio station. He often told us how he had auditioned（试音）and earned a position in a band that featured Patsy Cline as their lead singer.Occasionally，Dad would get out his mandolin and play for the family. We three children would often sing along. Dad loved to play the mandolin for his family. He knew we enjoyed singing and hearing him play. He was like that. If he could give pleasure to others，he would，especially his family. I had to mature into a man and have children of my own before I realized how much he had sacrificed.In 1950，our family moved. Dundalk and Dad found a job at Todd Steel. One day he was involved in an accident and got the third index finger of his left hand mashed between two pieces of steel. He didn't lose enough of the finger where it would stop him picking up anything，but it did impact his ability to play the mandolin.After the accident，Dad was reluctant to play the mandolin. He felt that he could not play as well as he used to. When I came home on leave and asked him to play he would make excuses for why he couldn't play. Eventually，we would wear him down and agreed to play. For the family it didn't make any difference that Dad couldn't play as well. We were just glad that he would play. When he played the old mandolin it would carry us back to a cheerful，happier time in our lives.36. What do we learn about the father in the text?A. He founded a small country music band.B.

It then caught fire. By the time we arrived，it was just a pile of ash.”The fireman added: “The entire building had to be evacuated（疏散）and there was severe smoke damage particularly in the flat where the robot had been in use. It's a mystery how it came to be started and ended up making its way to the hotplate. ”It took an hour to clean and make the building safe. The homeowner plans to sue（控告）theproducer of the robot.42. According to the passage，the robot suicided because it ______.A. failed to finish its daily workB. was tired of doing house workC. destroyed a kitchen hotplateD. had to eat spilt cereal43. What kind of lesson can we learn from the way the robot killed itself?A. The robot shouldn't be designed to be restarted by itself.B. The robot should be designed with no automatic moving ability.C.

Who will probably be responsible for the robot's suicide?A. The firefighter.B. The homeowner.C. The robot's producer.D. The robot itself.CA Dutch artist and designer has come up with a device which he hopes will get rid of pollutants from Beijing's smog skies，creating clean air for the city's mask-wearing people.An electromagnetic field（电磁场）will pull particles（微粒）in the smog to the ground where they can be easily cleaned.“It's like when you have a balloon which has static（静电）and your hair goes toward it. Same with the smog,”says artist Daan Roosegaarde.His studio has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of tile capital's parks.With its skies regularly covered by dirty gray smog，Beijing this week announced a series of emergency measures to handle the problem.Roosegaarde says an indoor model device has already proven it works and is confident that the results — with the help of a team of scientists and engineers — can be replicated outside.“Beijing is quite a good place because the smog in Beijing is quite low. It lies in a valley so there's not so much wind. It's a good environment to explore this kind of thing.”“We'll be able to purify the air and the challenge is to get the top of the smog so you can see the sun again.”Roosegaarde acknowledges that projects like this are a way of drawing attention to the problem，rather than a practical solution to Beijing's awful air pollution.“This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer has to do with clean cars，different industry and different lifestyles.”However，he hopes the project will make a “fundamental statement”by allowing the city's people to realize the difference between breathing clean and smog-filled air.47. The device works by _______.A. helping keep the particles out with more masksB. pulling pollutants to the ground with an electromagnetic fieldC. absorbing hair with a balloon with staticD. creating clean air and let it out into the sky48. According to the passage，_______ .A. the Beijing government has agreed to use the technology in BeijingB. they have proven the results of the device both indoors and outdoorsC. the results of the air-cleaning device can be expectableD. the Beijing government has never done anything to handle the air pollution49. What does Roosegaarde really mean by saying “Beijing is quite a good place...”?A. The air pollution in Beijing is not quite serious.B. The weather in Beijing is good for foreigners to live in.C. Beijing is quite fit for using the air-cleaning device.D. It is easy to get the top of the smog in Beijing.50. The underlined word “replicated”in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”.A. reproducedB. destroyedC. worriedD. described51. Roosegaarde appeals to people in Beijing to ________.A. pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finallyB. invent more devices to clean the smog in BeijingC. drive modern cars and try different lifestylesD. realize how serious the pollution they're facing is52. According to Roosegaarde，the smog in Beijing is mainly caused by ______.A .the climate changing of the whole worldB. the local industry，cars and lifestylesC. government's emergency measuresD. inefficiency of air-cleaning devicesDThe intelligence times provide us much convenience，but at the same time，some of our abilities are being weakened gradually.1. Memorizing phone numbersIt was annoying to remember numbers. Now we simply add them to our contacts list. That usually works well unless our device is lost，stolen，or damaged. No one can be expected to remember all their contact numbers. What we can do is memorize 5 of our most important contact numbers. This should include a mixture of family，friends and business. If you're really ambitious you can memorize 5 contacts for each category.2. Map-reading skillsThe convenience and effectiveness of GPS guidance systems and digital maps generated by search engines is unquestionable. They've definitely made our lives easier. What we don't get from using these devices and applications is the increased ability to understand spatial orientation （空间方向）and navigation.To renew or acquire those skills，try using physical maps to plan your next trip. After a few trips，you'll be pleasantly surprised with how useful a physical map can be.3. PhotographyEven amateur photography requires a basic learning about lighting，depth，and composition. This is true for digital photography. Most smart cameras automatically make these adjustments. We no longer have to learn the art of photography. On most devices，this is easily changed by turning off the automatic settings. Experiment with setting by hand the scene modes，lighting，and zoom. You just may learn that you're a “true photographer”.4. Reading comprehensionThe primary cause is E-reader. They're convenient and can store thousands of books. But there's evidence that E-reader makes it more difficult for readers to keep and recall information they just read. Don't worry! What we should do is make an effort to read printed books. This will be especially helpful when seeking information we need for academic or career purposes.5.Hand-written correspondence（通信）Writing letters and notes include hand writing skills，organizational skills，and learning about the person or persons you correspond with. This is another easily regained skill. Send a letter to an old friend，relative or acquaintance.53. What's the disadvantage by adding all numbers to the contacts list?A. We might lose all our phone numbers accidentally.B. It's hard to find the number from the contacts list.C. We may only have the ability to remember 5 numbers.D. Our device is more easily damaged or stolen.54. To acquire the skills of spatial orientation and navigation，it's necessary for one to ______.A. use the GPS guidance systemsB. accept the convenience of digital mapsC. use physical maps instead of digital onesD. plan some trips now and then55. To make yourself a “true photographer”，you ______.A. must make it clear how the digital camera works itselfB. have to make your camera do the adjustments automaticallyC. had better try to set the scene modes，lighting，and zoom by handD. don't need to learn the art of photography56 .E-readers are thought to weaken our reading comprehension because ______.A. they are convenient and can store thousands of booksB. they make it more difficult for us to recall informationC. less people can afford to buy E-readersD. people are not fond of reading printed books nowadays57. The author encourages us to send a letter to old friends so that we can ______.A.1earn to know how to get in touch with our friendsB. easily know whether they will write you back or notC. make sure of the importance of communicationD. renew hand writing skills and organizational skills58. The author of the text seems to ______.A. be worried that we might lose some basic abilities in intelligence societyB. point out to us the abilities one should have for adapting to the modem societyC. be glad that people will regain these abilities by using them often in daily lifeD. find out that these abilities will probably make modern people different from beforeEFreezing weather can mean frostbite and hypothermia unless a person is prepared. Frostbite is damage that happens when skin is exposed to extreme cold for too long. It mainly happens on the hands，feet，nose and ears. Hypothermia is a condition that develops when the body cannotproduce as much heat as it releases. Signs of hypothermia include uncontrollable shaking，very slow breathing and difficulty in thinking clearly. Hypothermia can lead to death if the person does not receive help.To avoid cold-related injuries，here is a simple way to remember four basic steps to staying warm.Think of COLD—C.O.L.D.The C stands for cover. Wear a hat and scarf to keep heat from escaping through the head，neck and ears. And wear mittens instead of gloves. In gloves，the fingers are separated，so the hands might not stay as warm as they would in mittens.The O stands for overexertion（用力过度）．Avoid activities that will make you sweaty. Wet clothes and cold weather are a dangerous combination.L is for layers. Wearing loose，lightweight clothes，one layer on top of another，is better than wearing a single heavy layer of clothing. Make sure outerwear is made of material that is water-resistant and tightly knit.D is for dry. In other words，stay as dry as possible. Pay attention to the places where snow can enter clothing. These include the tops of boots，the necks of coats and the wrist areas of mittens or gloves.And here are two other things to keep in mind—one for children and the other for adults. Eating snow might be fun but it lowers the body's temperature. And drinking alcohol might makea person feel warm. But what it really does is to weaken the body's ability to hold heat.59. What is the best title of this text?A. Frostbite and Hypothermia Are Often Seen in WinterB. Wet Clothes and Cold Weather Are a Dangerous CombinationC. How to Stay Warm and Safe in Freezing WeatherD. Alcohol Can Weaken the Body's Ability to Hold Heat.60. Which of the following is not a sign of hypothermia?A. Uncontrollable shaking.B. Very slow breathing.C. Difficulty in thinking clearly.D. Having too much sweat.61. Which of the following pictures is a mitten?62. Which way is not proper if you want to keep dry in winter?A. Wearing a coat with tight neck.B. Eating clean snow.C. Wearing water-resistant clothes.D. Letting no snow enter boots.63. Which of the following is right for us to do in freezing weather?A. Carrying alcohol and drinking often.B. Wearing a single heavy layer of clothing.C. Working hard to make ourselves sweaty.D. Wearing loose clothing of more layers.阅读理解：36—40 BDBDC 41—45 ABABC 46—50 CBCCA 51—55 ABACC 56—60 BDACD 61—63 DBD。

AIs there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don’t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦).Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeli ng begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it. Accept itInstead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and acceptit. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.Stop making excuses for itYou may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.Forgive and forget itYou probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.36.

When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill, she noticed my Louisiana license plate. “You from New Orleans?” she asked. I said I was, “No charge.” She said, and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet. The next day I went for a haircut, and the same thing happened.As my wife was studying in Florida, we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage(抵押贷款) on our ruined house. We looked at many places, but none was satisfactory. We’d began to accept that we’d have to live inextremely reduced circumstances for a while, when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kenn edy in California. He’d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for state, the online magazine and wanted to give us (“no conditions attached”) a new house across the lake from New Orleans. It sounded a good to her return, but I replied, thinking him for his exceptional generosity, then we to go back. Then the University of Florida offered to let him house to me. While he want to England on his one year, paid leave. The rent was rather reasonable. I mentioned the poet’s offer to James Ke nnedy, and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months.Throughout this painful experience, the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity.

AThe Swedish Academy in Stockholm on Thursday named Mo Yan winner of the Twenty-Twelve Nobel Prize in Literature.The academy praised the Chines e writer for what it called his “hallucinatoty realism (魔幻现实主义)”. It noted his ability to combine folk stories, history and modern events in his works.An academy official said Mister Mo was “overjoyed and sacred” when he learnt he had won the award. He will receive his Nobel diploma, a medal and more than one million dollars at the ceremony in Stockholm in December.Mo Yan is a leading author of modern Chinese novels. He often writes from memories of his youth. He also sets many of his stories in the area where he was born—Shandong Province in northeastern China.Mister Mo’s 1987 book Red Sorghum is an example. It is about the extreme violence in rural eastern China during the Communist Revolution in the 1920’s and 1930’s. The story describes the criminal c ulture of the time, Japan’s occupation and the terrible conditions faced by farm workers. Red Sorghum was later made into a movie.Mo Yan’s other major works include Big Breasts and Wide Hips, Republic of Wine and Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out.The Royal Swedish Academy compared him to two 20th century writers: American William Faulkner and Colombia Gabriel Marquez.Mo Yan’s real name is Guan Moye. Mo Yan means “Don’t speak.” The writer said he chose the name to remember to stop his tongue from getting him in trouble.China is celebrating the victory of his native son. Minutes after the award was announced, millions of Chinese expressed pleasure and pride for Mo Yan on social media websites.56. How many books of Mo Yan are mentioned in this passage?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.57. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. many people in China showed their respect for Mo Yan by letters.B.

This new finding suggests that insects may use some of the same methods that birds use for traveling long distances. Scientists have long thought that insects were simply at the mercy of the wind.Fascinating as their skills of flight are, migrating behavior has been difficult to study in insects because many long distant trips happen thousands of feet above ground. Only recently have scientists developed technologies that can detect such little creatures at such great heights.To their surprise, though, the insects weren't passive travelers on the winds. In autumn, for example, most light winds blew from the east, but the insects somehow sought out ones that carried them south and they positioned themselves to navigate directly to their wintering homes.Even in the spring, when most winds flowed northward, the insects didn't always go with the flow. If breezes weren't blowing in the exact direction they wanted to go, the insects changed their body positions to compensate(补偿, 弥补). Many migrating birds do the same thing.The study also found that butterflies and moths actively flew within the air streams that pushed them along. By adding flight speeds to wind speeds, the scientists calculated that butterflies and moths can travel as fast as 100 kilometers an hour. The findings may have real-world applications. With climate warming, migrating insects are growing in number. Knowing how and when these pests move could help farmers decide when to spray their crops.63. What's the main idea of the text?A. Insects migrate with the seasons.B. The wind helps insects greatly in migrating.C. Windsurfing insects have real direction.D. Scientists have trouble in observing insects.64. Scientists originally thought that _____.A. insects always waited for their favorable windsB. insects chose the winds they wanted to rideC. insects were just blown about by the windD. insects positioned themselves in the winds65. It is not easy to study the migrating behavior of the insects because ______.A. the little creatures can fly very fastB. their flight is long and high above groundC. the wind's direction is hard to forecastD. they have no regular migrating courses66. According to the passage, the findings can ____A. increase insects in numberB. instruct farmers when to spray their cropsC. prevent climate warmingD. help protect insectsD“To be or not to be.”Outside the Bible, these six words are the most famous in all the literature of the world. They were spoken by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare because Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but also for every thinking man and woman. To be or not to be, to live or not to live, to live richly and abundantly, or to live dully and meanly. A philosopher once wanted to know whether he was alive or not, which is a good question for everyone to put to himself occasionally. He answered it by saying: “I think, therefore I am.”But the best definition of existence I ever saw was one written by another philosopher who said: “To be is to be in relations.” If this is true, then the more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive. To live abundantly means simply to increase the range and intensity(强烈) of our relations. Unfortunately we are so constituted that we get to love our routine. But other than our regular occupation, how much are we alive? If you are interested only in your regular occupation, you are alive only to that extent. So far as other things are concerned --- poetry and prose(散文), music, pictures, sports, unselfish friendships, politics, international affairs ---you are dead.On the contrary, it is true that every time you acquire a new interest --- even more, a new accomplishment(成就) --- you increase your power of life. No one who is deeply interested in different kinds of subjects can remain unhappy. The real pessimist is the person who has lost interest.Bacon said that a man dies as often as he loses a friend. But we gain new life by contacts with new friends, and new ideas and thoughts, too. Where your thoughts are, there will be your life too. If your thoughts are limited only to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to your narrow circle of the town in which you live, then you live a narrow restricted(有限的, 受约束的) life. But if you are interested in what is going on in China, then you are living in China. I f you’re interested in the characters of a good novel, then you are living with those highly interesting people. If you listen intently to fine music, you are away from your immediate surroundings and living in a world of passion and imagination.To be or not to be --- to live intensely and richly, or merely to exist, which depends on ourselves. Let us widen and intensify our relations. While we live, let us live!67. What does the author mainly want to do by this passage?A. Argue against an idea.B. Explain some famous sayings.C.

Which of the following behavior is probably NOT encouraged by the author?A. Thinking more than your own business.B. Caring only about your physical welfare.C. Reading good novels.D. Listening to fine music.70. What is the main idea of the passage?A. To be is to be in relations.B. I think, therefore I am.C. To be or not to be, that is a question.D. A man dies as often as he loses a friend.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。
