Prat I Reading Comprehension (共20 小题,每小题2 分,共40 分)

Directions: There are 4 passage in this part . Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements . For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet .

Passage One

Questions 1 to 5 based on the following passage .

We use both words and gestures to express our feelings ,but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways .

It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language . So does laughter or crying . There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings . Dogs , tigers and humans , for example , often show their teeth when they are angry . This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns .

Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world . In Chinese and English literature , a phrase like “he went pale and began to tremble”suggests that the man is either very afraid or deeply shocked . However , “he opened his eyes wide ” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise . In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues ”. Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike .

Even in the same culture , people differ in the ability to understand and express feelings Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear ,anger love and happiness on people’s faces . Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do .

Passage Two

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage .

The English policeman has several nicknames but the most frequently used are “copper” and “bobby”. The first name comes form the verb “to cop” ( which is also slang ) , meaning “to take”or“to capture” , and the second comes form the first name of Sir Robert Peel , a 19th century politician , who was the founder of the police force as we know it today . An early nickname for the policeman was “peeler” , but this one has died out .

Whatever we may call them , the general opinion of the police seems to be a favorable one , except , of course , among the criminal part of the community where the police are given more derogatory nicknames which originated in

America , such as “fuzz”or “pig” . Visitors to England seem to be very impressed by the English police . It has , in fact , because standing joke that the visitor to Britain , when asked for his views of the country , will always say , at some point or other , “I think your policemen are wonderful”.

Well , the British bobby not always be wonderful but he is usually a very friendly and helpful sort of character . A music-hall song of some years ago was called “If You Want To Know The Time , Ask A Policeman ” . Nowadays , most people own watches but they still seem to find plenty of other questions to ask the policeman . In London , the policeman spend so much of their time directing visitors about the city that one wonders how they ever find time to do anything else .

Two things are immediately noticeable to the stranger when he sees an English policeman for the first time . The first is that does not carry a pistol and the second is that he wears a very distinctive type of headgear , the policeman’s helmet . His helmet , together with his height , enables an English policeman to be time it is suggested that the policeman should be given a pistol and than his helmet should be taken form him , but both suggestions are resisted by the majority of the public and the police themselves .

Passage Three

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage .

It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory . The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions , the bases for the decisions we make , and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences , which are brought into the present by memory .

Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for latter for later use . It not only includes “remembering”things like arithmetic or historical facts but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves . Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile . Memory is also involved when a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat .

Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines . Computers , for example , contain devices for storing data for later use . It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being . The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “words”—ready for instant use . An average American teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English . However , this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored . Consider , for example , the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight .

The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem solving intelligence of human beings . A large part of a person’s memory is in terms of words and combinations of words .

11.According to the passage , memory is considered to be________.

A.the basis for decision making and problem solving

B.the ability to store information for future use

C.an intelligence typically possessed by human beings

D.the data mainly consisting of words and combinations of words

12.The comparison between the memory capacity of a large computer and that of a human being shows that______.

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/f415022588.html,puter’s memory has a little bigger capacity than a teenager’s

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/f415022588.html,puter’s memory capacity is much smaller than an adult human being’s

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/f415022588.html,puter’s memory capacity is much smaller even than a teenager’s

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/f415022588.html,puter’s memory capacity is the same as a teenager’s

13.It is implied in the passage that______.

A.only human beings have problem-solving intelligence

B.a person’s memory is different from a computer’s in every respect

C.animals can solve very simple problems

D.animals solve problems by instinct rather than intelligence

14.The phrase “in term of”in the last sentence can be best replaced by “______” .

A.in connection with C.consisting

B.expressed by D.by means of

15.The main idea of the passage is________.

A.what life would be like without memory

B.memory is of vital importance to life

C.how a person’s memory is different form an animal’s or a comp uter’s

D.what memory carries

Passage Four

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage .

Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live we must communicate with other people . A great deal of communication is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech . If we travel in buses , buy thing in shops , or eat in restaurants , we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions , receive news or comment ,and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society .

Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the dominating factors of contemporary society . Two things , above others , have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry . Firstly , inventiveness has led to advances in printing , telecommunications , photography , radio and television . Secondly , speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news , which itself is often almost eclipsed(黯然失色)by international news .

No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority . In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate , but today there are public libraries . Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema , but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme the is being channeled into millions of homes .

Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information . The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information ,

education and entertainment .The printing , broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing , educating and entertaining .

Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part , the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse . However , the mass media are with us for better or for worse , and there is no turning back .

16.The first paragraph emphasizes the ______ of face-to-face contact in social settings .

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/f415022588.html,efulness

B.limitation

C.nature

D.creativity

17.The development of the communication industry in contemporary society results form ______.

A.the advances and revolutions C.the art of mass communication

B.the inventiveness and speed D.the advances and speed

18.It is implied in the passage that _______ .

A.local news still takes a significant place

B.National news is becoming more popular

C.Local news used to be the main source of information

D.International news is the fastest transmitted news

19.Which of the following statements is NOT true ?

A.Public libraries have replaced private libraries .

B.To possess information used to be a privilege .

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/f415022588.html,munication means more than transmission .

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/f415022588.html,munication influences the way of life and thinking .

20.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the writer is______.

A.concerned about the wrong use of the mass media

B.happy about the drastic changes in the mass media

C.pessimistic about the future of the mass media

D.Indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass media

第二节(共10小题;每小题 1.5分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt. This trend, which was started by the medical community(医学界)61 a method of fighting heart disease, has had some unintended side 62(effect) such as overweight and heart disease—the very thing the medical community was trying to fight. Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required 63(process) the food that we eat, to recover from injury and for several other bodily functions. When fat and salt 64 (remove) from food, the food tastes as if it is missing something. As 65 result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even 66 (bad), the amount of fast food that people eat goes up. Fast food 67(be) full of fat and salt; by 68 (eat) more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet. Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack(吃点心) between meals and will improve the taste of your food. However, be 69 (care) not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible to have too much of both, 70 is not good for the health. 翻译:最近,在食品服务业方面有一种朝着低脂肪和少盐的趋势。这种趋势最初是由医学界发起,用来作为防御心脏病的一种方式,已经产生一些意料之外的副作用,例如,肥胖 和心脏病,这正好是医学界致力去防御的疾病。 脂肪和盐分是每日膳食中的重要部分。我们需要他们去加工处理摄入的食物、有助于伤病的恢复和满足几项人体正常的运作。当脂肪和盐分从食物当中被去除了,食物尝起来 好像有所缺失。结果,人们会吃更多的食物来补偿缺失的东西。甚至更糟糕的是,人们吃 了更多的快餐食品。快餐中脂肪和盐的含量很高;由于吃了更多的快餐,人们会摄入比他 们在饮食中所需要的更多的盐分和脂肪。 通过每日饮食摄入足够的脂肪和盐分会减少在两餐之间吃点心的欲望,而且会提高你的食物的味道。然而,要注意不要摄入过量。跟其他食物一样,我们也有可能会吃太多, 这一点是对我们的健康不利。 61.as 考查介词。根据句意“这一趋势最开始被医学界作为一种治疗心脏病方法”可知这里 表达“作为”之意,所以答案填as。 62.effects 考查名词单复数。有前面的修饰短语some可知这里的side effects应该用复数,所以答案填effects。 63.to process 考查非谓语动词。根据固定短语be required to do sth.“被要求做某事”可知此处答案填to process。

专题07阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题(练)2017年高考二轮复习英语(附解析)

2017届高三二轮复习英语精品资料【练案】 专题7 阅读理解Ⅳ:篇章结构题 1.[2016·北京卷] D Why college is not home The college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy(自主性) and the development of adult identity. However, now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence, during which many of today's students are not shouldered with adult responsibilities. For previous generations, college was a decisive break from parental control; guidance and support needed to come from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades, however, continued connection with and dependence on family, thanks to cellphones, e-mail and social media, have increased significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility, universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home. To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation. This process involves “trying on ” new ways of thinking about oneself both intellectually(在思维方面) and personally. While we should provide “safe spaces” within colleges, we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views. Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered by strict debate and questioning. Learning to deal with the social world is equally important. Because a college community(群体) differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging. If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behaviour and thinking pattern, they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community. Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behaviour runs up against another characteristic of young adults: the response to being controlled by their elders. If acceptable social behaviour is too strictly defined(规定) and controlled, the insensitive or

B I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul — he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would hav e listened to their agents or the studio powers. The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft (技艺)and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other— but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core(核心)of our relationship off the screen. We shared the bel ief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back—he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps fo r kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events. I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words. 24.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first? A. Paul Newman wanted it. B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent. C. He wasn’t famous enough. D. The director recommended someone else. 25.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship? A. They were of the same age. B. They worked in the same theater. C. They were both good actors. D. They have similar characteristics. 26.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Their belief. B. Their care for children. C. Their success. D. Their support for each other. 27.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To show his love of films. B. To remember a friend. C. To introduce a new movie. D. To share his acting experience. C Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle —named the Transition – has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon. Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000. And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway. Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.
