阅读理解组合练训练3Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2016·宁波市镇海中学质检)Jane Austen was born in the English countryside more than 200 years ago.She lived a simple life.She seldom travelled.She never married and she died from illness when she was only 41.However，people all over the world remember her.Why? It is because Jane Austen is the author of some of the best-loved novels in the English language.These novels include Emma，Pride and Prejudice，Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion.Jane completed her last novel Persuasion in 1816，but it was not published until after her death.Persuasion is partly based on Jane's naval brother.Anne，the daughter of Sir Walter Elliot，falls in love with Captain Wentworth，a person of a lower social position.But she breaks off the engagement when persuaded by her friend Lady Russell that such a match is unworthy.The breakup produces in Anne a deep and long-lasting regret.Eight years later，Wentworth returns from sea a rich and successful captain.He finds Anne's family on the edge of financial ruin.Anne and the captain rediscover their love and get married.Jane Austen once compared her writing to painting on a little bit of ivory(象牙)，two inches square.Readers of Persuasion will see that neither her skill of delicate, ironic (讽刺的) observations on social custom，love，and marriage nor her ability to apply a sharp focus to English manners and morals has abandoned her in her final finished work.Persuasion has produced three film adaptations：a 1995 version starring Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds，a 2007 TV miniseries with Sally Hawkins and Rupert Penry­Jones，and a 1971 miniseries with Ann Firbank and Bryan Marshall.People who are interested in Jane Austen can still visit many of the places she visited and lived in.These places include the village of Steventon，although her family house is now gone.Many of the places Jane visited in Bath are still there.You can visitJane Austen's home in Chawton，where she did her best writing，and Winchester，where she died.本文是一篇人物传记.主要介绍了英国作家Jane Austen的生平事迹以及她的作品风格，并着重介绍了她的最后一部小说《劝导》.1．What is the theme of Persuasion?A．Never regret what you've chosen.B．True love lasts forever.C．Be matched for marriage.D．Love waits for no

writing style?A．Her application of comparison.B．Her skillful use of irony.C．Her focus on manners and morals.D．Her delicate observations.A[细节理解题.根据第五段内容可知，B、C、D三项都在文中提到了，是她作品的特点，而A项没有涉及.故选A.]3．According to the passage，what do we know about Jane Austen?A．Persuasion is a novel about the life of her naval brother.B．She did

surprising that about one out of five American households have had or know someone who has had a bed bug infection.But a new study shows that an unexpected weapon may be useful in the fight against the tiny，biting enemies：color.The BBC's Michelle Roberts reports that bed bugs appear to have strong preferences for certain colors.A group of researchers became curious about whether bed bugs like certain colors，so they created tiny tents，or harborages of different colors and placed them in petri dishes(培养皿)．The researchers then put bed bugs on the center of the dish，giving them ten minutes to choose which harborage they wanted to hide in.Bed bugs are nest parasites(寄生虫)—that's why they love human“nests”or bedrooms.So they're crazy about finding shelter.As a result，it would make sense that a bug placed on the scary broadness of a petri dish would rush for cover as soon as possible.Most of the bugs ran to black and red harborages，passing by ones of other colors.And they weren't into yellow or green at all.Overall，the bugs preferred harborages in this order：red，black，orange，blue，lilac，violet and green.Gender influenced the decisions because groups of single­gender bugs preferred the same colors.Researchers guess that the decisions may have to do with bugs' considering different shelters as better or worse places to mate or perhaps stay safe from enemies.“We originally thought the bed bugs might prefer red because blood is red and that's what they feed on，”says Dr.Corraine McNeill.“However，after doing the study，the main reason we think they prefer red colors is that bed bugs themselves appear red，so they go to these harborages because they want to be with other bed bugs，as they are known to exist in groups.”本文是一篇科普文.主要讲述了研究人员发现臭虫偏爱某种颜色，这有利于我们应对它们.4．What did the research discover?A．Bed bugs are particular about certain colors.B．Bed bugs have a preference for living in groups.C．Bed bugs are difficult to get rid of.D．Bed bugs are afraid of dark colors.A[细节理解题.根据文章第一段“The BBC's Michelle Roberts reports that bed bugs appear to have strong preferences for certain colors.”可知臭虫对颜色特别挑剔.]5．The underlined word“harborages”in Para.2 can be replaced by “”．A．bed rooms B．dishesC．eggs D．sheltersD[词义猜测题.根据文章第二段“so they created tiny tents”和“giving them ten minutes to choose which harborage they wanted to hide in”可知D项正确.] 6．Bed bugs like red mainly because ．A．they are redB．red is beautifulC．red can scare their enemies awayD．blood is red and they feed on bloodA[细节理解题.根据文章最后一段“the main reason we think they prefer red colors is that bed bugs themselves appear red”可知臭虫喜欢红色主要是因为它们自身是红色.]7．What color sheet should people choose against bed bugs according to the research?A．Red. B．Yellow.C．White. D．Black.B[推理判断题.根据文章第四段“Most of the bugs ran to black and red harborages，passing by ones of other colors.And they weren't into yellow or green at all.”可知B项正确.]【导学号：85602082】C(2016·全国甲卷)A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding—undoubtedly first­rate photo­journalism—if they had been made last week.In fact，they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海难), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian­built three­master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all，to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled (雪橇) across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott's last journey，completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world's imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic，was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.本文是一篇记叙文.1914年到1916年间，一群海员和科学家踏上了南极探险之路.结果他们在回来的路上发生海难，其中一个摄影师在临死之前拍摄了大量的照片，并把照片封存在破损的木船的冰块箱里.通过这些照片我们可以了解到那次不太成功的探险经历.8．What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A．They were made last week.B．They showed undersea sceneries.C．They were found by a cameraman.D．They recorded a disastrous adventure.D[细节理解题.由题干中的the photos taken by Hurley定位到文章第二段开头.该段说这些照片即使是上个星期拍的也堪称佳作，故A项错误；该段中还说照片是在一次海难之后拍的，故D项正确；文章没有说拍摄的是海底景观，故B 项错误；拍摄者是摄影师，但没有说是一名摄影师发现了这些照片，故C项错误.]9．Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A．Frank Hurley.B．Ernest Shackleton.C．Robert Falcon Scott.D．Caroline Alexander.C[推理判断题.由题干中的“第一个到达南极”这条信息定位到第三段.被发现的照片所展示的这次旅行是为了获得比Robert Falcon Scott船长先前的探险更大的收获，该船长在1912年就到达了南极.由此推断Robert Falcon Scott是最先到达南极的人，故选C项.]10．What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A．Artistic creation.B．Scientific research.C．Money making.D．Treasure hunting.C[细节理解题.题干的Alexander在最后一段出现，the 1914 voyage指本文谈到的Endurance这艘船的探险，该段开头说，这个作家在她的小说The Endurance中说，在那时，探险就已经是纯商业活动(a thoroughly commercial effort)了，因此1914年航行的目的是赚钱(money making)，故选C项.A项“艺术创作”，B项“科学调研”，D项“寻宝”，均未体现.]Ⅱ.阅读七选五(2016·镇海中学期中检测)Rhythm of LifeChoosing the right time to sleep, the correct moment to make decisions, the best hour to eat—and even go into hospital—could be your key to perfect health.Centuries after man discovered the rhythms of the planets and the cycles of crops, scientists have learned that we too live by precise rhythms that govern everything from our basic bodily functions to mental skills.Man is a prisoner of time.But it's not just the experts who are switching on to the way our bodies work. 1 Prince Charles consults a chart which tells him when he will be at his peak on a physical, emotional and intellectual level.Boxer Frank Bruno is another who charts his bio­rhythms to plan for big fights.2 Sleep, blood pressure, hormone levels and heartbeat all follow their own clocks，which may bear only slight relation to our man-made 24-hour cycle.Research shows that in laboratory experiments when social signals and, most importantly，light indicators such as dawn are taken away, people lose touch with the 24­hour clock and sleeping patterns change.Temperature and heartbeat cycles lengthen and settle into “days”lasting about 25 hours.In the real world, light and dark keep adjusting internal clock to the 24­hour day.But the best indicator of performance is body temperature.As it falls from a 10 p．m.high of 37.2℃to a pre-dawn low of 36.1℃，mental functions fall too. 3 The most famous example is the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island in the US.The three operators in the control room worked ahernating(交替的) weeks of day, evening and night shifts. 4 Investigators believe this caused the workers to overlook a warning light and fail to close an open valve.Finding the secret of what makes us tick has long fascinated scientists and work done over the last decade has yielded important clues. 5 For example，the time we eat may be important if we want to maximize intellectual or sporting performance.There is already evidence suggesting that the time when medicine isgiven to patients affects how well it works.A．The rhythm of life is a slight beat.B．The aim is to help us become more efficient.C．Jenny Hope claims to have tested their body clocks to the limit.D．This is a key reason why shift work can cause so many problems.E．Experts say every aspect of human bodies is influenced by daily rhythms.F．Many people study the state of their bio­rhythms before making their daily plans.G．Such a dangerous combination never gave their bodies' natural rhythms a chance to settle down.本文是一篇科普说明文，主要介绍了人体的生物钟是如何调整和适应生活节奏的.1．F[下文举的两个例子是进一步阐述和解释观点的，根据第二个例子“who charts his bio-rhythms to plan for big fights”可知，此处侧重利用自己的生物钟制订计划，与F项中的“study the state of their bio-rhythms before making their daily plans”一致.故选F.]2．E[根据该空的位置可知，此处是本段的主题句.下一句是对该句的进一步解释，所列举的“Sleep，blood pressure，hormone levels and heartbeat”都是具体的身体状况，与E项中的“every aspect of human bodies”含义一致.故选E.] 3．D[此处承上启下，是对上文的概括，也是下一段的例子要证明的观点.下文提到经常黑白倒班的人会被打乱生物钟节奏，带来种种困扰，上文探讨了轮班工作会扰乱生物钟的原因，都与D项中的“why shift work can cause so many problems”照应.故选D.]4．G[控制室的三个操作员经常黑白倒班，这打乱了他们的生物种，与G 项中的“never gave their bodies' natural rhythms a chance to settle down”吻合.故选G.]5．B[本段主要分析了发现生物钟的意义，下文举的例子进一步说明了把握生活节奏的作用和重要性，与B项中的“help us become more efficient”照应.故选B.]【导学号：85602083】。

“阅读理解＋阅读七选五”提速练(二)(限时：30分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017·安徽黄山二次质检)When I was young, I wished for a good car and a big house. That was my idea of success. I took all the advanced classes and tried to do well in the exams with my mind set on going to a key school. I just knew that I would somehow become famous and be able to afford the car and the dream house. All the way through junior years, my mind was planning this beautiful future.Then in the eleventh grade, many losses changed my mind. First, one of my friends died at 16. Soon after, my great­grandmother passed away, followed by my beloved fourth­grade teacher. These events left me not knowing what to do or where to go. Death had never touched me so closely.After a long period of emptiness, it finally struck me: Life is not promised and neither is future success. Though I was attempting to achieve material success, I was not enjoying my daily life. I realized that finding inner peace, purpose and happiness will stick with me forever and that is real success.Enjoying life's precious quirks (偶发事件) makes an ordinary person more successful than a wealthy person who isn't content and takes everything for granted. The summer before senior years, my attitude changed greatly. Instead of memorizing facts, I began learning skills. Instead of focusing on the future, I focused on today and many blessings and successes that came with it.I still get excellent grades, but now I devote weeks to studying instead of struggling for exams, and I think about the future with a deeper sense of meaning. For me, being successful means truly living life each day.语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens (young cats) to socialize with, and was used to people from the moment he was born. However, when it came time to find the kittens' homes, no one knew where Jack would end up.That's when I got an e­mail from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens? There's one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him.”Without thinking, I told her that I did want the kitten.When we first brought him home, Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had no issues running around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house, he'll stop. But we just call him and talk to him and it isn't long before he finds his way back to us.A few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new farm cat named Bear. Jack and Bear have become best friends. It doesn't matter that he can't see. He always knows when Bear is around. He'll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They run after each other around and wrestle. They'll lie down in the grass together when tired.Jack is truly an inspiration. I've owned lots of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He doesn't feel sorry for himself. He doesn't need pity.I think Jean, owner of Gumbo, another eyeless cat, said it best when she told me that cats don't have disability, they have adaptability.语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

But Su Hanting, a 16­year­old boy, spent last year's Spring Festival Eve at a desk, translating a classic work of English literature.Su started translating The Story of King Arthur and HisKnights(1903), a 120, 000­word by an American author, Howard Pyle,during his winter vacation. He didn't take a break during thebiggest festival of the year. “Every second counts，”Su said.Like many teenagers of his age, Su enjoys reading both Chinese and English classics. But the idea of translating only occurred to him by chance — he was just helping his classmates to figure out some of the medieval (中世纪的) place names in this book. But once he started, he couldn't stop. For the ancient place names and the titles of the Knights, he searched online, looked for maps in the library and read historical documents related to King Arthur. Meanwhile, he also read the original novel over and over again to make sure of the thoughts and emotions as well as possible.His preparation paid_off. It only took him three months, mostly during his winter vacation, to translate the book. And that includes the time he lost after finishing 80,000 words that were gone because of a computer bug. The translated version came out on November 15th and has won high praise from experts.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了十六岁的男孩苏汉廷在帮同学查找《亚瑟王和他的骑士们》中的地名时偶然萌生了翻译这部作品的想法。

He sucks on a cigarette.What's wrong with this picture? Doesn't the beautiful woman see her hero's yellow teeth? Doesn't she smell his smoky breath? And wouldn' t the good guy have trouble chasing，since smoking causes a person to cough?But you don't see any of that when someone smokes cigarettes in the movies.And there is a lot of smoking in movies，actors light up in more than 50 percent of youth­rated (G，PG，PG­13) movies，according to the American Legacy Foundation，which aims to put an end to smoking among young people.That means that Hollywood is showing 14 billion images of smoking to young people every year.All that exposure to on­screen smoking can influence teens to smoke.The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) argues that 44 percent of teens who begin smoking do so because they' ve seen smoking in movies.The CDC reports that teens are two to three times more likely to start smoking after seeing repeated smoking scenes in movies than teens who are lightly exposed to smoking in movies.Several organizations are working to remove smoking in youth­rated movies.And adults are not the only ones who care about this issue.Many teens are actively involved.Livia Clandorf，16，of Chatham，New York，is a member of Reality Check，an organization that educates teens about what it considers to be the manipulati v e(巧妙处理的) practices of tobacco companies.Livia participated in an event called a“movie stomp (跺脚)”.

A(2019·杭州一中模拟)Josh Morrison, 17, dreamed of raising $100，000 to build a home for a low­income family. After years of hard work, his dream has come true. The house is now in the early stages of building.Six years ago, Josh and his dad went into a Habitat for Humanity Restore, a home improvement store and donation center run by the nonprofit organization. They were there to buy a sink. Josh, then 11, also noticed a collection of pennies. “I instantly felt the urge to help out with that，” he said. Josh set a fundraising(筹款) deadline of four years. Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of $100，000, but it didn’t shake his faith. He raised money at his school and other nearby schools. He collected money from neighbors, got publicity from local newspapers, and placed cans in stores so that people could donate extra change.Josh’s fundraising efforts began to produce results. Still, there were challenges. Four months before his deadline, he was $30，000 short. He decided to hold a Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner event in Uxbridge, which is in the province of Ontario. The event raised $19，000.“I didn’t care how long it took me，” Josh said. “I would raise $100，000.”With three weeks left, a company called Josh’s house, offering to donate $18，000. Eventually, Josh reached a total of $124，000 before his deadline. “The__momentum__just__kept__going,__and we decided to do more，” he said. “J osh’s Penny House” is being built by Habitat for Humanity Restore in the city of Oshawa, along with 24 new townhouses. Josh has helped with some of the construction, as have other volunteers. He will choose the family that moves into the unit.Next year, the 17­year­old will head to college in British Columbia, Canada’s westernmost province. As a 11­year­old kid when starting fundraising, Josh was able to send a powerful message across the world. No matter how old you are, if you have a dream and are willing to do anything to achieve it, it can come true.1．Which word can best describe Josh Morrison in paragraph 2?A．Straightforward. B．Open­minded.C．Determined. D．Cautious.2．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean?A．His project became more popular.B．He received continuous donations.C．The result was beyond expectations.D．He got more support from the company.3．What will be the best title of the text?A．An Astonishing FundraiserB．A Boy with a Warm HeartC．Kindness from a CompanyD．The Penny House DreamBBritain faces social problems as lots of people are set to losetheir jobs in technological revolution, the Bank of England’s chiefeconomist warned.Andy Haldane said the so­called Fourth Industrial Revolution will make the machine replace humans to do thinking things. The dark side of the change could be a much bigger breakdown of employment than in Victorian times, with professions such as accountancy(会计) among those at risk.A report by the accountancy firm PwC last month warned that more than 7 million jobs in Britain would lose over the next 20 years as technological change sweeps through workplaces.The majority of these jobs are in the retail, transport and manufacturing industries. However, other traditional professional sectors could also be at serious risk.Economists treat the arrival of increasingly intelligent computers and robots as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The first was the shift from agriculture to urban societies. The second saw the widespread use of electricity and steel, and the third was the digital revolution when computers, the Internet and mobile phones were developed.Mr.Haldane said the hollowing­out(空洞化) experienced in the past years could be on a greater scale in the future, so it is important to learn the lessons of history and insure that people are given training to take advantage of new opportunities.“Jobs were effectively taken by machines of various types, and there was ahollowing­out of the job market, which left many people for a long period out of work and struggling to make a living，” Haldane added. “That heightened social and financial tensions, and led to a rise in inequality. This is the dark side of technological revolution.”“That hollowing­out is going to be potentially on a much greater scale in the future, when we have machines thinking and doing the cognitive and technical skills of humans.” Mr. Haldane said professions like accountancy could be among those hardest hit by the rise of AI. But he suggested economists could escape.4．What is the dark side mentioned in the text?A．The hollowing­out has become a major social problem.B．Less and less people have the desire to learn accountancy.C．Intelligent computers and robots decrease good workers.D．The technological revolution causes people to lose jobs.5．Why are economists the lucky dog in the new technological revolution?A．The study about economy is at a low level.B．Economists work on a traditional professional job.C．There is no machine that can work as an economist.D．Economists have the chance to avoid technological revolution.6．What attitude did Haldane have toward the future employment?A．Positive. B．Aggressive.C．Critical. D．Worried.CWe’re often reminded of the importance of preserving the planet as we see it for future generations—and children at St Oswald’s CE Primary School Chester certainly agree.Nine­year­old Isobel Kelleher from the school’s Hummingbirds class thinks adults need to take note. “Sometimes they can be busy and I don’t think they think they can make a difference, but if everyone does a little bit it all adds up，” she tells HuffPost UK. “We started looking at plastic pollution in our oceans and the things like plastic bags that are polluting them，” she says. “Fish can eat the plastic and they can die, or we might even eat the fish ourselves.”Mr. Timms, Isobel’s teacher, has been spearheading a new project at the school which lets children loose creatively to raise awareness of the need to be more environmentally friendly. The entire Hummingbirds class, which is made up of 9­and10­year­old pupils, has been busy writing poems and creating online video advertisements to warn adults about the serious situation of our oceans and wildlife.Mr. Timms thinks children have an important role to play in teaching us how to take care of the things around us. “We sometimes overlook how much we can really learn from children，” he says. “It has been really hard to believe having parents come in saying that their children have been asking them to stop using plastic, and to recycle more, and even stopping them using plastic straws.”Mr. Timms is proud of his Hummingbirds class. “The message that they would like to send to the world is simple: stopping this isn’t someone else’s job, and it won’t be OK if we just leave it.”7．What can we infer about adults according to Isobel Kelleher?A．They just pretend to be busy.B．They haven’t done their part well.C．They can do nothing to stop pollution.D．They have started to care about the ocean.8．What is the purpose of the school project?A．To help adults to learn more about their kids.B．To remind adults to be friendly to the environment.C．To persuade students to stop using plastic bags.D．To teach students how to write poems creatively.9．Why does Mr. Timms mention parents in paragraph 4?A．To prove kids are creative in teaching.B．To attract people to support his work.C．To have adults care about education.D．To show the effects of the project.10．What is the text mainly about?A．An inspiring school project.B．An appeal to stop plastic bags.C．Serious situations of our planet.D．Adults’ ignorance of the environment.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。
