重庆市xx中学高2016级高二(下）第二次月考试英语试题第二部分阅读理解（满分40分）第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AThe day of my holiday arrived, but I wasn’t looking forward to it. I had little money and had only been able to afford to stay with my Aunt Rosa in Spain. So, I wasn’t real ly excited as I knew exactly what it was going to be like: lots of noisy cousins , and Aunt Rosa begging me to take her for a ride.After I had checked in, I made my way slowly to the departure gate. As I was waiting to board the plane, I kept thinking about my ideal holiday destination: Jamaica, with its long, sandy beaches and crystal clear water.As soon as the plane took off, I fell fast asleep and only woke to the sound of the announcement: “Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten you seat belts, as we will shortly be landing in Kingston.” I froze in my seat. Was I dreaming? Kingston? Jamaica? I had boarded the wrong plane!Immediately after the plane landed, I explained the situation to the authorities. It seems there were also three other passengers h eading for Spain. Apparently it had been the airline’s fault, since the flight numbers for Spain and Jamaica were exactly the same! Therefore, with no flight back to London for a week, the airline had no choice but to pay for our stay.So there I was, lying on the beach, enjoying the music and the marvelous food of Jamaica! As for Aunt Rosa, I suppose she just had to live without me!21. Why did the writer choose to spend her holiday with her aunt in Spain?A. She missed her cousins very much.B. Her aunt begged her to go there.C. She could hardly afford any better trip.D. Spain was her ideal destination.22. In the story, the writer ended up _________.A. flying to London immediatelyB. heading for Spain from JamaicaC. complaining to the authoritiesD. enjoying a free beach holiday23. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. A Lucky MistakeB. A Terrible AdventureC. A Nice DreamD. A Well-Planned TripB.“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”“Two full inches in the first three days!”These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper, radio and television ads, promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way to beauty or desirability.Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoter. The products are questionable, and some are dangerous to health.To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary? Understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA（Food Drug Administration）can require proof （证明）under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that safe and effective before it is put on the market . But if the product is a device, FDA. has no author to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product has already had on the marker danger to health, FDA. can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the a voluntarily, or it can take legal action ,including seizure（查封）of the product.One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the waist through contact pads. FDA. took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.Obviously, most of the devices on the maker has never been the subject of court proceedings（法律诉讼）,and new devices appear continually, Before buying, it is up to the consumers to the safety or effectiveness of such items.24．It can be inferred that ads mentioned in the text are ______.A. objectiveB. costlyC. unreliableD. illegal25．Which of the following is true according to the text?A. The court is in charge of removing dangerous product.B. New products are more likely to be questionable.C. The production of a device must be approved by FDA.D. The promoters usually just care about profits.26. FDA. can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product ________.A. if it is a drugB. if it is a deviceC. if its consumers make complaintsD. if its distributors challenge FDA’s authority27. The author intends to __________A. make consumers aware of the promoters’ false promisesB. show the weakness of the law on product safetyC. give advice on how to keep young and beautifulD. introduce the organization of FDA.CIt seems hard to watch someone yawn（打哈欠）and not to yawn ourselves. Even reading about yawning can make you do it. Now, a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force.Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of pity and a form of social connection. Kids don’t develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four, the study found. Kids with autism (自闭症) are less likely to catch yawns. In the most serious cases, they never do. Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly. The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect."Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together," said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut. "Yawning may be part of that." Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did."The fact that autistic kids don’t do it might mean they’re really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them," she said. "The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others’," she added. "Autistic people never seem to understand that."Like infectious （有感染力的）laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.28. What does the new study suggest, according to the first two paragraphs?A. Yawning is a form of communication.B. It is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn.C. Children follow others in yawning just after they are born.D. Yawning has some mysterious force which is related to God.29. According to Molly Helt, _________.A. humans differ from animals because they communicate with othersB. yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humansC. emotions are infectious, but yawning is notD. yawning helps clear ears on planes30. Which of the following is NOT true about yawning?A. It is natural to yawn back if people around you yawn.B. Some kids are too young to yawn after others.C. Yawning can be used to test children’s development.D. Kids with autism yawn easily when others yawn.31. The author implies in the last paragraph that ________.A. yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying in theoryB. it is bad manners to yawn on some social occasionsC. the more you yawn, the happier you will beD. yawning can make people feel relaxedD.Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since the federal(联邦的)cigarette tax more than doubled—to $1. 01 per pack—smokers have jammed telephone “quit lines” across the country seeking to kick the habit.This is not a surprise to public health advocates. They’ve studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase.The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.I n Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost ＄10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday. Charleston, S, C., where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation. The price was $4. 78.The influence is obvious.In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys—13.8%, far below the national average. By comparison, 26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky, Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records.Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans “who choose to smoke.”That’s true, But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting addicted in the first place, As for today’s adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.32. The text is mainly about___________.A. the price of cigarettesB. tie rate of teen smokingC. the effect of tobacco tax increaseD.the differences in tobacco tax rate33. What does the author think is a surprise?A. Teen smokers are price sensitive.B. Some states still keep the tobacco tax low.C. Tobacco taxes improve public health.D. Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise.34. The underlined word "deter” in Paragraph 3 most probably means.A. discardingB. removeC. benefitD. free35. Rogers’ attitude towards the low-income smokers might be that of _____ .A. toleranceB. unconcernC. doubtD. sympathy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。

A pair of slippers，a table lamp，a book or a little clock．So many lovely things．She stood by the window，watching．The postman turned round the corner on his bicycle．Her heart beat fast．Johnnie had seen him too and ran to the gate．And then he gave her four envelopes．Three were unsealed cards from old friends．The fourth was sealed，in Myra’s writing．“No parcel，Johnnie?”“No，granny．”Maybe the parcel was too large to come by letter post．That was it．It would come later by parcel post．She must be patient．But disappointment flooded her．She tore the envelope open unwillingly．A cheque fell to the floor like a birdwith a broken、wing．Slowly the old lady bent to pick it up．With trembling fingers she tore it into little bits．【1】What kind of work did Myra probably take?A．charity B．paperworkC．accounting D．education【2】What does the underlined word “it” m ean?A．The reunion time she looked forward to．B．The reason why there was no parcel．C．The birthday gift she wanted most．D．The slowest way to send a gift．【3】How is the passage organized?A．In order of time．B．In order of space．C．In order of frequency．D．In order of importance．【4】The author seems to tell us that ．A．there is no love like that of the parent for the childB．to accompany our parents should be the first law of natureC．a mother’s voice is the most beautiful sound in the worldD．we never know the love of our parents for us till we have become parents2.BIf a sitcom(情景喜剧)that lasts for l0 years is considered popular，then surely one that still arouses emotionsafter 20 must be considered a classic．Friends first aired in the US in 1994，featuring a cast of six young men and women in New York．In the time since，it’s become one of the most famous titles in the sitcom style，aired in over 100 countries and regions in the world．The show is typical among those who grew up in the 1990s because it explores basic yet important themes like friendship，struggling to survive in a big city，and finding independence and identity，all of which are still relevant to young audiences today．Against the background of the Internet age，IT staff who were once marginalized(排斥)and laughed at have experienced a revival due to the popularity of hit show The Big Bang Theory，in which four talents lackingnormal social skills make an attempt at living on a college campus．At the same time，Gossip Girl，describing a young cast of New Yorkers born with silver spoons in their mouths，demonstrates the difficulties upper-class adolescents experience．The show’s fashion and mature subjectmatter allowed it to capture the interest of both teenagers and adults．Although these typical TV shows span a wide timeline and feature a variety of themes，they all have a universal topic．Love，money，friendship，career aspirations and identity are things all young people struggle tounderstand．Why are they still fascinating? It remains to be found out．【1】Why is the sitcom Friends typical among young people in the 1990s?A．Because it is a breakthrough in the producing style．B．Because it is the most influential sitcom of all time．C．Because it addresses the subjects faced by the youth．D．Because it predicts the future of the young at that time．【2】What can we learn about The Big Bang Theory?A．It arouses people’s enthusiasm for computers．B．There are four talents who are good at everything．C．It is set in the time before the Internet came into being．D．It improves the conditions of the people in technological industry．【3】According to the passage，Gossip Girl ．A．attracts people of all agesB．shows eye-catching style and adult subjectC．describes the life of ordinary girlD．describes the hardships of upper-class people【4】What will the author most probably talk about next?A．The introduction to other hit sitcoms．B．The further information about the plot．C．The emotional response among audience．D．The analysis of the reasons for the appeal．3.CA crisis is on the way．Global warming? The world economy? No，the decline of reading．People are just not doing it anymore，especially the young．Who’s responsible? What is responsible? The Internet，of course，and everything that comes with it—Facebook，Twitter，etc..There’s been a warning about the coming death of literate civilization for a long time．In the 20th century，first it was the movies，then radio，then television that seemed to end the written world．None did．Reading survived；in fact it not only survived，it has developed better．The world is more literate than ever before — there aremore and more readers．and more and more books．The fact that we often get our reading material online today is not something we should worry over．The electronic and digital revolution of the last two decades has arguably shown the way forward for reading and for writing．Interconnectivity allows for the possibility of a reading experience that was barely imaginable before．Where traditional books had to make do with photographs and illustrations，an e-book can provide readers with an unlimited number of links：to texts，pictures，and videos．On the other hand，there is the danger of trivialization(碎片化)．One Twitter group is offering its followers single-sentence-long“digests”of the great novels．War and Peace in a sentence? You must be joking．We should fear the fragmentation(碎片)of reading．There is the danger that the high-speed connectivity of the Internet willreduce our attention span—that we will be incapable of reading anything of length or which requires deep concentration．In such a fast-changing world，in which reality seems to be remade each day，we need the ability to focus and understand what is happening to us．This has always been the function of literature and we should be carefulnot to let it disappear．Our society needs to be able to imagine the possibility of someone entirely in pace with modern technology but able to make sense of a dynamic，confusing world．【1】In Paragraph 2，we can learn ．A．the disappearance of traditional booksB．the development of human civilizationC．the historical challenges for readingD．the birth of pioneering e-books【2】According to the passage，the advantage of e-books is ．A．1imited linkB．imaginative designC．low costD．varied contents【3】How does the author feel towards single-sentence-long novels?A．Doubtful B．WorriedC．Shocked D．Hopeful【4】What is the main idea of the passage?A．Technology is an opportunity and a challenge for traditional reading．B．Technology pushes the way forward for reading and writing．C．Interconnectivity is a feature of new reading experience．D．Technology offers a greater variety of reading practice．4.DIt’s hard to be the bearer of bad news，but most of IKEA’s print and digital fascinating shots of picturesque rooms and products are fake．Those beautiful，“natural-looking” photos of gorgeous rooms and kitchens are mostly the work of computer magic，adjusted and corrected until they’re picture-perfect．Martin Enthed，IT manager for IKEA’s in-house communications agency，revealed，“In 2012，12 per cent of its product and concept images was CGI-rendered，increasing to 25 per cent in 2013．Since then，that percentage of rendered images appearing in the company’s catalogue and online has tripled．75 per cent of the furniture company’s product images today are created by computers．”It’s a move that first caught the attention of photographers and graphic designers a few yea rs back when the furniture giant announced it would cancel photoshoots in favor of computer-generated imagery(CGI)．Enthed said IKEA began shifting equipment in 2009 when company officials called in his team and said they weren’t pleased with some previous photos and CG images．“So we looked at all the images they said weren’t good and the two of three they said were great，and the ones they didn’t like were photography and the good ones were all CG，”Enthed said．“Now we only talk about a good or bad image - not what technique created it．”It’s a not-so-secret strategy used by top companies specializing in home and furniture design，though many consumers remain oblivious．The company claims the shift is another way to reduce its environmental footprint，saying constructing digital files produces less waste．It also helps the home furnishing empire’s pocketbooks．【1】What directly led IKEA to adopt CGI on a larger scale?A．The convenience of high technology．B．Company officials’ reaction to works．C．The change in the concept of managementD．Development of environmental awareness．【2】According to the passage，the advantage of the shift is that IKEA can 。
