湖北浠水县2017高考英语阅读理解九月选编【健康环保类—阅读理解】（2015模拟题）HortonAt first glance，there is little in Horton to attract people.The other nearby towns have much more to offer：Bradfield has its river and historic buildings，while Newtown has shops and entertainment.The buildings of Horton look dirty and unloved.For shops，there is a small supermarket，a few bargain shops，a bakery which，strangely，does not sell bread and a florist which has one stand of sad­loo king flowers.Even so，Horton has several advantages over its neighbouring towns.Firstly，it has a country park.Four thousand years ago，this was an important fort.There are no historic remains here now，but there are wonderful views over the countryside.On sunny weekends you can often see kids out with their parents，kicking balls or flying kites.There aren’t many job opportunities in Horton，and the roads to nearby cities aren’t really fast，but there are excellent rail links.You can be in London in an hour and a half，and other cities are less than an hour away.That means that parents can earn a good salary and still get home in time to spend the evenings with their families.Houses in Horton aren’t pretty，but they’re functional and cheap.The streets are quiet and safe，and there are plenty of parks and playgrounds.It has a library，three primary schools and a secondary school，St.Mark’s.It is friendly and offers a wide range of subjects and activities to children of all abilities and backgrounds.The town also has a swimming and a sports centre，and the community halls hold regular clubs and events for people of all ages.1.What is the writer’s main purpose?A.To explain what tourists can do in Horton.B.To explain why Horton is a good place to live in.C.To explain why Horton is not as pleasant as other towns.D.To describe the history of Horton.答案 B解析写作意图题。

(The Young Genera tion)Old people are always saying that the young are not what they were. The same comment is made from generation to generation and it is always true. It has never been truer than it is today. The young are better educated. They have a lot more money to spend and enjoy more freedom. They grow up more quickly and are not so dependent on their parents. They think more for themselves and do not blindly accept the ideals of their elders. Events which the older generation remembers vividly are nothing more than past history. This is as it should be. Every new generation is different from the one that preceded it. Today the difference is very marked indeed.The old always assume that they know best for the simple reason that they have been around a bit longer. They don’t like to feel tha t their values are being questioned or threatened. And this is precisely what the young are doing. They are question the assumptions of their eldersand disturbing their complacency. Office hours, for instance, are nothing more than enforced slavery. Would n’t people work best if they were given complete freedom and responsibility? And what about clothing? Who said that all the men in the world should wear drab grey suits and convict haircuts? If we ruin our minds to more serious matters, who said that human differences can best be solved through conventional politics or by violent means, who said that human difference can best be solved through conventional politics or by violent means? Why have the older generation so often used violence to solve their problems? Why are they so unhappy and guilt-ridden in their personal lives, so obsessed with mean ambitions and the desire to amass more and more material possessions? Can anything be right with the rat-race? Haven’t the old lost touch with all that is important in life?These are not questions the older generation can shrug off lightly. Their record over the past forty years or so hasn’t been exactly spotless. Traditionally, the young have turned to their elders for guidance. Today, the situation might be reversed. The old—if they are prepared to admit it—could learn a thing or two from their children. One of the biggest lessons they could learn is that enjoyment is not ‘sinful’. Enjoyment is a principle one could apply to all aspects of life. It is surely not wrong to enjoy your work and enjoy your leisure; to shed restricting inhibitions. It is surely not wrong to live in the present rather than in the past or future. This emphasis on the present is only to be expected because the young have grown up under the shadow of the bomb: the constant threat of complete annihilation. This is their glorious heritage. Can we be surprised that they should so often question the sanity of the generation that bequeathed it?1. Which of the following features in the young is NOT mentioned?[A]. Better educated. . More money and freedom.[C]. Independence. [D]. Hard work.2. What so the young reject most?[A]. Values. . The assumption of the elders.[C]. Conformity. [C]. Conventional ideas.3. Why do the young stress on the present?[A]. They have grown up under the shadow of the bomb.. They dislike the past.[C]. They think the present world is the best.[D]. They are afraid of destruction.4. What can the old learn from the young generation?[A]. Enjoyment is not sinful. . People should have more leisure time.[C]. Men might enjoy life. [D]. One should enjoy one’s work.Vocabulary1. reminder 使共回想起某事的东西，提示者2. complacency 自鸣得意，自满情结3. take leave 擅自，任意，随意I took leave to consider this matter settled. 请原谅我认为这事已经解决了。

I just hope that our brains won’t crash(死机). Are you workingon your typing skills to make you a more efficient worker? Thatmay be all for nothing as Intel believes that we’ll be able tocontrol our computers with our brains by 2020.Intel and its research partners are studying how brain actswhen it thinks. For example, scientists have found that people’sbrains react in a similar manner when asked to think of a bear.Through sensors(感应器)that can find this sort of brain activity, Intel thinks that it will be able to read and translate this into an input system thanks to a chip in the brain.“We’re trying to prove you can do interesting things with brain waves. ”In tel research scientist Dean Pomerleau told Computerworld. “Eventually people may be willing to be, more devoted to brain implants(植入物). Imagine being able to surf the Web with the Power of your thoughts. ”Even if thinking about a bear isn’t enough to sh ow that you want to copy and paste something. Intel still thinks that there’s a future in using your brain instead of the keyboard.“If we can get to the point where you can accurately find specific words, you could mentally type, ”he added. “You could compose characters or words by thinking about letters flashing on the screen or typing whole words rather than their individual characters. ”While this may all sound impractical for present time, Intel thinks that it’s possible and something we’ll all w ant.“I think human beings are unusually adaptive(适应的), ”said Andrew Chien, vice president of research and director of future technologies research at Intel Labs. “If you told people 20 years ago that they would be carrying computers all the time, they wo uld have said, ‘I don’t want that. I don’t need that. ’Now you can’t get them to stop carrying devices. There are a lot of things that have to be done first but I think implanting chips into human brains is well within the scope of possibility. ”Make good use of your favorite mouse and keyboard set-up before they’re old-fashioned. 【文章大意】本文主要讲了现在Intel及同伴正在研究怎样用人脑控制我们的电脑。

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。

I don't think comic book "collector" really applies to me at all. I’m probably more of a comic book "appreciator". My interest has always been in what can be accomplished with the medium of "visual story-telling". I'm not sure exactly where this interest of mine came from. I do know that as a child, comic books allowed me to improve my reading skills. “The Mighty Thor" helped me develop an interest in old legends, and “Challengers o f the Unknown" got me crazy about science fiction. The combination of words and pictures was a perfect springboard for my childhood imagination.How does one learn to appreciate comic book art? There is a classic example that sheds quite a bit of light on the subject. Writer Scott Macloud just explains what makes a comic book stand out in his best selling book Understanding Comics. The book, first published in 1994, has been translated into 13 languages and is practically a bible for students studying graphic illustration (图示说明) in novels.On the internet there are some cool comic book sites to be found—hundreds and hundreds of them as a matter of fact. More than a few are dedicated to super heroes and the like. But there are some choice sites that I would visit, because they provide some great resources that discuss the comic book as an art form. Noteworthy among them is a great article and interview at rcharvey. corn, which discusses the impact of several artists and writers in the field.I have a huge admiration for anyone who can produce comic stories that can make readers think, laugh and cry. Maybe make them dream.Check it out. Spend two dollars on a comic book and read it with your children. Or better yet, search out some of the more “adult" tides a nd read it for yourself. You may find yourself enjoying what you see and read. You may even find yourself wanting more.1. What does the author mainly intend to talk about in Paragraph 2?A. Influence of comic books on reading in childhood.B. Ways to improve one's reading skills.C. Subjects of comic books.D. Popularity of two comic books.2. The underlined part "sheds quite a bit of light on" (Para．3) means "____".A. does a basic research onB. causes a fierce debate onC. provides new information onD. makes a quick survey on3. If you want to know a few good writers of comic books, you will probably____.A. read Understanding ComicsB. visit rcharvey．cornC. buy some comic booksD. turn to comic story writers4. What does the author encourage people to do?A. Develop an interest in old legends and science fiction.B. Share a comic book with children.C. Produce some comic stories.D. Spend money and time appreciating comic books.1、答案解析：答案为A。
