高考题型·组合规范练18选择性必修第四册UNIT4阅读理解题组——练速度(35mins)Ⅰ.阅读理解AChinaTea originated in Ancient China and has been a big part of Chinese culture since.It is said that China introduced tea to the rest of the world!The country has a diverse landscape that produces hundreds of different types of tea:green,oolong,black,white,and yellow tea.Tea ceremonies are an essential part of Chinese weddings when the bride and groom kneel before their parents to serve them tea.RussiaTea is also a considerable part of Russian hospitality.Russians like to brew a robust loose leaf black tea,which can then bediluted(稀释) to the drinker’s taste with boiling water.You can drink the tea black or with the additions of sugar,milk,or lemon.Just make sure you have a tasty treat,like a pastry(油酥糕点),on the side.Drinking “naked” tea is considered a major faux pas(失礼).JapanThe Japanese are keen green tea drinkers.It’s often served at restaurants in place of water!Their tea of choice is usually matcha,a type of green tea with a bright color that has been dried and ground down into a fine powder.In Japan,you can find tea houses where intricate(错综复杂的) tea ceremonies,often involving matcha,are performed.MoroccoMint lovers will love Moroccan tea the most.Touareg is the name for Morocco’s signature hot mint tea(薄荷茶).Though it can be enjoyed casually,Touareg is traditionally linked to hospitality and friendship.It is traditionally served in small glasses rather than teacups.It must be poured from a height of at least twelveinches so that foam is created on the surface.If there is no foam,the tea is considered undrinkable!1.What do Russians think of drinking “naked” tea?A.Impoliteness.B.Politeness.B.Generosity. D.Enthusiasm.2.Why must tea be poured from a height in Morocco?A.To make it much cooler.B.To add more flavour to it.C.To make it suitable to drink.D.To make foam on the surface.3.Which of the countries produces the most varieties of tea?A.China.B.Russia.C.Japan.D.Morocco.BIf you stop a random person on the street in China,there’s a pretty good chance that their surname would be eitherWang,Li,Zhang,Liu or Chen.That’s because those are the five most common surnames in China—shared by 30% of the population.And the vast majority of the population share just 100 of those surnames.In comparison,the United States reported 6.3 million surnames in its census.There are a few reasons for this:China is less racially diverse than countries such as the US,where a wealth of minority groups increase surname diversity (多样性).It also has to do with language;you can’t just add a random stroke (笔画) to a Chinese character and create a new surname.But there’s also another factor at play:technology.With China roaring into the digital age,nearly everything has moved online—from making appointments to buying train tickets.The main problem is that not all Chinese characters have been coded into computer systems.That meant a world of trouble if you happened to have a rare character in your name.As of ,up to 60 million Chinese citizens faced this problem,according to Xinhua.People with rare characters in their names,which aren’t compatible(兼容的) with eputer systems,can get left behind—pushing many to change their names for the sake of convenience,even if it means abandoning centuries of heritage and languages.To try to address this,experts have increased the database from 32,000 characters to 70,000 characters,according to the government.They’re still working to eore than 90,000 characters,said Chen Jiawei,an associate professor at Beijing Normal University.4.What can be learned from the comparison according to Paragraph 1?A.There are fewer common surnames in China.B.Chinese people like sharing the same surname.C.The United States owns the most surnames in the world.D.6.3 million surnames in China have been shared until now.5.Which one describes surname diversity properly?A.New Chinese surnames are easy to create.B.Surname diversity totally depends on technology.C.Minority groups can increase surname diversity.D.Surnames in computer systems are regularly changed.6.What may happen to people with rare characters in their names?A.They will lose their heritage.B.They have to change their names.C.They should eay upgrade computer systems.7.Why have experts increased the character database?A.To save the heritage and languages.B.To keep traditional Chinese culture.C.To give people more choices when naming.D.To let us know more Chinese characters.CThe government of Singapore has created a highly developed system that turns wastewater into drinking water.The system involves a network of tunnels and high-technology treatment centers.The system helps reduce ocean pollution,as only a small amount of the treated water is sent into the sea.The United Nations estimates that 80 percent of the world’s wastewater flows back into the oceans without being treated or reused.Singapore has few natural water sources.The island nation has long had to depend mostly on supplies from neighboring Malaysia.Low Pei Chin,an expert,told reporters,“Singapore lacks natural resources,and it is limited in space,which is why we are always looking for ways to explore water sources and stretch our water supply.One major plan is to collect every drop and reuse endlessly.”Parts of the water treatment center are underground.Wastewater enters the center through a 48-kilometer tunnel that is linked to sewers.The center contains a large system of steelpipes,tubes,tanks,cleaning systems and other machinery.It can treat up to 900 million liters of wastewater a day.In one building,a network of air flow systems has been put in place to keep the air smelling as fresh as possible.Waste thatarrives at the plant goes through a cleaning process before powerful pumps send it flowing to areas above ground for more treatment.There,the treated water receives additional cleaning.Bacteria and viruses are removed through highly developed cleaning processes and then disinfected with ultraviolet(紫外线) radiation.Singapore is also in the process of e.The country will add another underground tunnel and a major water treatment center to serve the western half of the island.Officials epleted by .By the time the expansion is finished,Singapore will have spent about $7.4 billion on its water treatment systems.8.What can we infer from the second paragraph?A.The world’s oceans are polluted by wastewater.B.Wastewater is usually treated before sent into the oceans.C.Only a small amount of the treated water is suitable to drink.D.80 percent of the water in the oceans can be used as drinking water.9.Why are the Singaporeans always looking for ways to explore water sources?A.Because Singapore is an island nation.B.Because Singapore lacks water sources.C.Because they are used to drinking treated water.D.Because they can’t get water supplies from other countries.10.What does the siainly tell us?A.How the wastewater is treated.B.Why the treatment center is built.C.What the treatment center consists of.D.Where the treatment center is located.11.Which is the last step of the process?A.Giving the treated water additional cleaning.B.Sending the water above for more treatment.C.Removing bacteria and viruses in the water.D.Disinfecting the water with ultraviolet radiation.DGranada is Spain’s most visited city,drawing tourists from all over the world,most of whom are eager to see the
