【2014·山东烟台模拟】If you’re in Florence，Italy，and see a man on a ladder wiping the dust off statues and buildings，don’t worry.It’s just Alessandro Ricci gathering material for his famous smog paintings.Ricci is not a common artist，because he used smog as the main medium of his artworks.Unlike other painters seeking fast recognition of their talent，he doesn’t really care about “being this big artist”．Instead he is more concerned about bringing attention to how much smog there really is in his home town and how it’s destroying both its monuments and people.Although he did take a couple of art classes a few years back，he is mainly self­taught，doesn’t work in a studio，donates most of his work，and refuses to play by the rules of the Florentine Art Gallery，which he considers corrupt.Alessandro Ricci believes selling his smog paintings will not only compromise his principles，but also contradict the very thing he’s trying to do—raise awareness about smog pollution in this city.Alessandro lives with his parents nearby Florence，but almost every day he visits the streets of the city，and collects smog for his paintings.He gets it from several meters above ground，from clean surfaces like marble，plastic and stone，using damp pieces of cotton.Then he applies the smog directly onto a cloth and creates street scenes and reproductions of the very buildings from which he got the dangerous material.Finally，he seals his paintings with a natural resin (树脂)．His actions helped win a small victory for the people of Florence，as in October 25,2012 the Duomo area of the city was made pedestrian­only.But there is still a long way to go，the artist believes，and only cleaning the thick layer of smog that has accumulated throughout Florence would take several years.Still，he continues to paint his unique smog artworks and let the people know how polluted the environment they live in really is.1．What does the text mainly tell us?A．Florentine artist fights pollution by painting with smog.B．Ricci invents a unique way to paint buildings in Florence. C．People in Florence gather smog to create street scenes. D．Florence takes measures to improve the polluted city. 2．In what way is Ricci quite different from other artists?

Language is a major problem for the European Union (EU). The agreement or treaty which created the organization that eventually became the EU，the Treaty of Rome，stated that each country' s language must be treated equally.The original six countries had only three languages between them：French, German andDutch/Flemish.However，there are now 15 countries in the EU，with a total of 12 languages.EU documents must be translated into all these languages，and at official meetings the speeches must be translated into all the languages by interpreters.All this translating is very expensive and time consuming(费时的)．It is said that nearly half of all employees of the EU are engaged in translating documents and speeches，and nearly half of the EU's administrative(管理方面的)costs are spent on this task.In the near future it is probably that several more countries，most of them having their own languages，will join the EU，thus making the situation even worse.The problem is not just cost：there are practical difficulties as well.With 12 languages，there are 132 possible “translation situations” that might be needed.It is often difficult to find people in the right place at the right time who can translate from (for example) Danish into Greek，or Dutch into Portuguese，at a high professional standard.In practice the problem has been made less severe by the use of English in many contacts between EU officials，since almost all of them speak some English.However，any move to reduce the number of official languages(perhaps to four or five)would be a blow to the price of the smaller countries.Another commonly suggested solution is to make English the official language for all EU business.However，this is strongly resisted by powerful member countries like France and Germany.1．What's the main purpose of this passage?A. To give a solution to a problem.B．To find out a problem and show how severe it is.C．To criticize the European Union for ill efficiency.D．To show that the problem cannot be solved.答案：B 推理判断题。

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校浙江松2017高考英语一轮阅读理解（九月）训练题（二）【2016高考训练】Egypt may be walking towards a much-needed IMF loan, but that hasn’t put off some foreign partners. GB Auto, the Cairo-listed auto assembler(汽车组装公司), will begin putting together and selling cars from China’s Geely in the second quarter of 2012.GB will assemble the cars from kits(配件) supplied by Geely (the Hangzhou-based carmaker that bought Volvo in a $1.5bn deal in 2010), and will sell the finished product in markets across North Africa, beginning with Egypt. The deal is “one of several partnerships we will announce this year,” said GB’s chairman, Raouf Ghabbour, in a statement.GB controls 32 per cent of the Egyptian selling car market, where it rose to success as the largest local assembler, importer and seller of cars from South Korea’s Hyundai. It is now the the Middle East’s largest car assembler. High tax on fully-assembled imported cars have encouraged a number of international auto brands, including BMW and China’s Geely, to have their vehicles put together in Egypt.For Geely, the Egyptian deal is another step in efforts to push its products out across the world, after announcing last year that it would set up a production hub（轮轴）in Indonesia to target the fast-growing Southeast Asian market. The company plans on selling at least one model in the UK by the end of 2012.While 2011 was a tough year for car sales (and pretty much everything else) in Egypt, the vehicle market is still a good prospect as a large and increasingly young population fuel long-term economic growth. GB says there are about 30 cars per 1,000 people in Egypt, compared to 128 in China and 109 in Morocco.GB says the tuk-tuk’s popularity in Egypt’s rural inland and informal urban slums（贫民窟）made it less influenced by a slowdown in the passenger car industry.And if long-discussed reforms of Egypt lead to higher fuel prices, expect tuk-tuks, powered by something barely larger than a lawnmower (割草机)engine, to become increasingly attractive for urban transport.1.What is the general idea of the pasasage?A. China’s Geely is entering Egypt.B. For Geely, the Egyptian deal is another step.C. GB covers much of Egyptian car selling.D. GB will assemble the cars from kits.2.Which country’s seller of cars is GB?A. China.B. Korea.C. Japan.D. Egypt3. Why do China’s Geely put their kits of cars together in a foreign country?A.A number of international auto brands.B. Several partners’ help.C. Egypt ‘s need of IMF loan.D. Too much tax.4.The re ason why they mention the figure about China and Morocco’s cars is______.A. To learn from them easily.B. To show China and Morocco’s strength.C. To show GB has a good future.D. To beat China and Morocco in selling.5. The tuk-tuk’s ad vantage is______.A. That its kits came from China.B. That its engine is smaller than others.C. GB assemble them carefully.D. It is sold in Egypt’s rural inland.本文大意是中国吉利汽车正走向埃及市场。
