阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

For more than nine days，for more than 60 miles，thousands of Beijing­bound vehicles have come to an almost total stop on highways called the 6 and 110 that run from Inner Mongolia southeast to the nation's capital.Bai Xiaolong，a 30­year­old truck driver，says it took him five days to make the 350­mile journey from Inner Mongolia to Tianjin.He spent much of that time reading，text­messaging and sleeping rather than speeding up.“There w as one day that I didn't move，not even an inch，”said Bai，an inhabitant of Jining in Inner Mongolia，a city at the western end of the traffic jam.Chinese officials said that the congestion is mainly because of the maintenance(维护)projects that began in mid­August and are scheduled to be completed in mid­September.Trucks carrying 8 tons or more of coal or fruit have been responsible for damaging the roadway，thus making the work necessary.Drivers who often use the route know that heavy traffic has long been a fact of life.“The problem is really that there're too many cars and trucks and not enough lanes(车道)，”Bai said.“We drivers are used to this sort of thing happening.”The two national freeways are heavily used by trucks carrying coal from the recently opened fields of Inner Mongolia to China's coastal cities.The seemingly endless jam began on the 6 and spread to the 110，which runs parallel(平行的)，when officials sought to ease the traffic on the 6.The Global Times，and E nglish­language newspaper，said the jam had eased somewhat in the last two days，but inhabitants of the region say the congestion simply spilled out onto other roads. The congestion has created an economy of its own.Vendors(小贩)sell boxed lunches，noodles and drinking water to the travelers，often at jacked­u p prices.And because of the long­standing problems along the highways，dozens of small hotels have appeared，attracting drivers who need a stop to catch more serious sleep.1．According to the text，the 110 was mainly damaged by________.A．too many cars B．bad weatherC．poor maintenance D．heavy trucks答案：D 细节理解题。

根据文章第四段最后一句及第六段可知，导致这条国道毁坏的主要原因是那些重型卡车，故选D项。

2．What can we infer from the text?A．Bai Xiaolong was born in Tianjin.B．The problem of traffic jams in China will be solved soon.C．Chinese officials think it is necessary to build more lanes.D．The local people don't think the congestion has eased.答案：D 推理判断题。

根据文章倒数第二段中的inhabitants of the region say the congestion simply spilled out onto other roads可知，当地居民认为交通堵塞只是转移到了别的道路上，也就是说他们认为当地的交通拥堵并没有得到缓解。

3．The underlined w ord“jacked­up”in the last paragraph probably means“________”．A．high B．rightC．special D．low答案：A 猜测词义题。

因为堵车所以司机被困在那里，他们需要吃的和喝的，而一些商贩发现了这个商机，往往哄抬物价，司机们别无选择，由此可猜测出该词的意思为“很高的”。

4．What would be the best title of the passage?A．The congestion creates an economy of its ownB．Traffic jam near Beijing stretches on for daysC．The traffic has improved in BeijingD．Truck drivers in China live a hard life答案：B 标题归纳题。

本文报道了一次严重的交通堵塞。

60多英里的道路变成了停车场，足足堵了九天多的时间，B作为标题最合适。

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。

【2016高考训练】Most of us have quite good memories, but our memories are limited. For example, we cannot remember everyone we have ever met or what we did on every single day of our lives. However, there are some people who do have prodigious memories. These people have a rare condition known as savant syndrome (学者症候群). Savants suffer from a developmental disorder, but they also exhibit great talents that contrast(显出差异) sharply with their physical and mental disabilities.Kim Peek (1951-2009) was a savant who lived in Salt Lake City, Utah, in the United States. He was born with damage to parts of his brain, but it seemed that other parts of his brain, particularly those relating to memory, became over-developed.Peek’s uniqu e abilities appeared at a very early age. When he was just 20 months old, he could already remember every book that was read to him. Peek could read two pages of a book at the same time---one page with the right eye and one with the left---in less than 10 seconds and remember everything he read. By the time he died, Peek had memorized more than 9,000 books. He could rememberall the names and numbers in a variety of telephone books. He could remember thousands of facts about history, literature, geography and sports.Dr. David Treffert, an expert on savant syndrome, once described Peek as “a living Google” because of his astonishing ability to memorize and connect facts. However, at the same time, Peek was unable to carry out simple tasks, such as brushing his hair or getting dressed, and he needed others to help him. In 1989, the movie Rain Man won the Oscar for best Picture. The main character in the movie, played by Dustin Hoffman, was based on Kim Peek’s life. He started to appear on television, where he would amaze audiences by correctly answering difficult questions on different topics. Peek became world famous, and he and his father began touring widely to talk about overcoming disabilities. He inspired a great many people with his words. “Recognizing and respecting differences in others, and treating everyone in the way you want them to treat you, will make our world a better place for everyone. Everyone is different.”1. The under lined word “prodigious” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.A. happyB. vividC. amazingD. short2. According to the text, Peek ________.A. could take care of himselfB. was born with a good memoryC. was the student of Dr. David TreffertD. became brain-damaged at 20 months old3. How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?A. By proving facts.B. By following time order.C. By analyzing causes.D. By making comparisons.4. Peek’s words suggest that we should ________.A. respect different culturesB. listen to different opinionsC. treat different people differentlyD. be respectful of ot hers’differences参考答案1—4、CBAD【宁夏银川市唐徕回民中学2014试题】 BChina’s first moon rover，Yutu，or Jade Rabbit，separated from the lander early on Sunday，December l5，2013，several hours after the Chang’e-3 probe (探测器) soft-landed on the lunar surface．The l 40 kg six-wheeled rover touched the lunar surface at 4：35 a．m．，leaving deep trace on the loose lunar soil.

In an episode of the other series, a young girl in Tianjin breaks down into a tearful fit after being asked by her father to go out alone to buy eggs and a pancake.In the eyes of some observers, these kids show no sense of independence, and the reason is put down to parents who are overly sheltering.

They have been spectacularly successful and are widely imitated, if not copied. The minute Apple crystallizes a product, everyone knows how to compete．This idea that the basis of competition is set by Apple and then the race is on to climb the path of improvement is unquestionable．When Apple releases a product that defines a category or dramatically changes the structure of an industry, it becomes obvious what needs to be built.But what I wonder is why ever yone wants to copy Apple’s products but nobody wants to copy being Apple?I can think of two reasons. Firstly, Apple is not worth copying because it's not successful; secondly, Apple’s success cannot be copied because it is a magical process．There is a great deal of evidence for the first hypothesis. The idea of Apple being successful is not something reflected in its stock price．Being valued lower than the average company in the S&P（标准普尔）500 indicates that to whatever degree Apple was successful in the past, it's not seen by the vast majority of observers as successful in the future．Why should one bother copying Apple if it results in being punished with a low valuation? If one works really hard at innovation and then that innovation becomes commoditized（商品化）very quickly, why should one bother?When innovation practitioners are asked what makes Apple successful, the answers regarding the cause of this success border on the mythical. The climax of this hypothesis is the“chief-sorcerer” theory of success whi ch places one magician, like Steve Jobs, in charge of casting all the right spells（符咒）．What about Apple’s own opinion of what makes it tick? Tim Cook refers to a great team and integration of hardware, software and services as unique Apple advantages. It’s a better explanation．Integration is something that can take a long time, but it is possible with great effort．A few companies are starting to make moves in that direction, but efforts arehalf-hearted．There is no “move the Earth” panic to become an integ rated company from Samsung, Google or Microsoft．My own suspicion is that Apple is more aware of what makes it special than it lets out． However, as Tim points out, it’s not a formula．It’s complex, it’s subtle, but it’s not magic．It’s a process that requires a degree of faith and courage．32．When a new product of Apple comes out, often it ______．A．ruins an industry dramatically B．starts a revolution of an industry C．puts itself in an unbeatable position D．is soon overtaken by imitated products33．According to the p assage, other companies don’t “copy being Apple” because ______.A. Apple is not a successful companyB. they have no access to relevant resourcesC. It’s hard to find a magician like Steve Jobs D．being Apple takes more than time and efforts34．We can infer from Para. 5 that ______．A．other companies are dedicated to integrationB．Apple itself is fully aware of its unique advantages C．Apple will hold the leading position in this industry D．other companies don't have a great team as Apple does 35．What does the author think of Tim Cook's statement?A．Acceptable．B．Disappointing．C．Unquestionable．D．Convincing．【参考答案】BDCA。
