promoted四、阅读理解A导学号16924003(20162017安徽六安一中高二检测)It is named a kind of wooden Eiffel Tower,because of the fact that there was a large wooden platform far out in the lake on which stood an improbably high diving board.It was,Im sure,the countys tallest wooden structure and no one had ever been known to jump from it.So it was quite a shock when our teacher,Mr.David,announced that he would dive off the high board that very afternoon.Word of his questionable plan was already spreading through town as Mr.David swam out to the platform.He was just a tiny,stick figure when he got there but even from such a distance the high board seemed almost to touch the clouds.Once at the top,he paced the enormously long board,then took some deep breaths and finally stood at edge.He was going to do it.Several hundred people had gathered at the shore to watch.Mr.David stood for quite a long time,then he raised his arms,took one massive bounce and launched himself into a perfect dive.It was beautiful.He fell with perfect style for what seemed minutes.The crowd fell silent.The only sound to be heard was the faint whistle of his body tearing through the air toward the water far,far below.But about three quarters of the way down he seemed to have second thoughts and began suddenly to panic,waving his arms and legs like someone having a bad dream.When he was perhaps thirty feet above the water,he gave up on waving and spread his arms and legs wide,apparently hoping that it would somehow show his fall.It didnt.He hit the water at over six hundred miles an hour.The impact was so loud that it made birds fly out of their trees three miles away.I dont think he entered the water at all.He just bounced off it,about fifteen feet back into the air.After that,he lay still on the surface,spinning like an autumn leaf.He was brought to shore by two passing fishermen in a rowboat and placed on an old blanket where he spent the rest of the afternoon.Occasionally he accepted small sips of water,but otherwise was too shock to speak.From head to toe,he was covered with deep red bruises.It was the best day of my life.1.How did the author find Mr.Davids plan to jump from the diving board?A.Heroic.B.Disappointing.C.Crazy.D.Confused.答案:C解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“.Im sure,the countys tallest wooden structure and no one had ever been known to jump from it.”和第二段“So it was quite a shock when our teacher,Mr.David,announced that he would dive off the high board that very afternoon.”可知,作者认为,没人敢从那个跳水板上跳下去,而当作者得知戴维要从上面跳下去的时候自然会很震惊。由此可推断出,作者认为戴维这样做很疯狂,超出了人们的预料。故选C项。2.In Paragraph 3,Mr.David is described as “a tiny,stick figure” because he was .A.very far awayB.very small and thinC.tired after swimmingD.sure to be broken答案:A解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“.when he got there but even from such a distance the high board seemed almost to touch the clouds.”可知,观众觉得戴维有些瘦小,是因为戴维站得很高,离观众很远。故选A项。3.Why did Mr.David suddenly start swinging his arms and legs during the dive?A.He thought it was the best way to slow his fall.B.He wanted to show his courage.C.He was signaling the crowd for help.D.He lost his confidence and started to panic.答案:D解析:细节理解题。根据第五段中的“But about three quarters of the way down he seemed to have second thoughts and began suddenly to panic,waving his arms and legs like someone having a bad dream.”可知,戴维在跳的过程中突然开始晃动他的四肢,是因为他失去自信,变得有些恐慌。故选D项。B(20162017重庆一中高二检测)Climate change has been blamed for killer hurricanes,sea level rise,and drought,but a new report suggests the effects of climate change might hit the worlds coffee supply.Up to 70 percent of the worlds coffee supply could be threatened over the next 66 years,according to a new study by researchers at Englands Royal Botanic Gardens.Nearly 100 percent of the worlds Arabica coffee growing regions could become unsuitable for the plant by 2080,according to the study.Beans from Arabica coffee plants account for about 70 percent of the worlds coffee,but the plant also has to be grown under strict weather conditions:they grow well at temperatures between 64 and 70 degrees Celsius,and are highly influenced by frost or temperatures higher than 73 degrees Celsius.With temperatures estimated to increase by between 1.8 and 4 degrees Celsius by the end of the century,the fragile plant might become increasingly expensive and difficult to grow,especially in places such as Ethiopia and Kenya.In that worst case,nearly all of the worlds native Arabica coffee would die out.Under more conservative(保守的)estimates,about 65 percent of the regions used to grow the coffee would become unsuitable for it.The evidence from coffee farmers and coffee growing regions around the world is that they are already suffering from the influences of increased warming.Some farmers would likely be able to move their operations to other areas or would be able to overcome climate change with artificial cooling techniques,but wild Arabica is generally considered to be much more suitable for making high-quality coffee.If Arabica becomes impossible to raise in its native areas,it could do serious damage to the economies of the mainly third-world countries in which it grows.Coffee is the worlds most popular drink and is the second most-traded product in the world,behind oil.4.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.Climate change affects people in many ways.B.More and more attention has been paid to climate change.C.The worlds coffee supply could be threatened by climate change.D.The growing conditions of Arabica coffee have been improved recently.答案:C解析:主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是第一段可判断出,本文主要介绍的是一项新的研究报告,即气候变化将会威胁到咖啡豆的生长,全世界的咖啡供应将会受到影响。故选C项。5.What can be learned from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?A.According to the study,by 2080 nowhere can be suitable for Arabica coffee growing.B.65 percent of the worlds coffee gets raw materials from Arabica coffee plants.C.Arabica coffee plants will grow well at temperatures lower than 60 degrees Celsius.D.Coffee farmers are the biggest victims of climate change.答案:A解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Nearly 100 percent of the worlds Arabica coffee growing regions could become unsuitable for the plant by 2080,according to the study.”可知,根据这项新的研究报告,到2080年,将没有地方适合种植Arabica(阿拉比卡)咖啡豆。故选A项。6.In order to solve the problem of Arabica coffee plants,some farmers .A.would make efforts to produce high-quality coffeeB.would bring in artificial cooling techniquesC.would tend to move to some warm placesD.would grow more wild Arabica答案:B解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Some farmers would likely be able to move their operations to other areas or would be able to overcome climate change with artificial cooling techniques.”可知,一些种植户想通过人工降温技术来解决无法种植阿拉比卡咖啡豆这一问题。故选B项。7.What is the result if Arabica coffee has less production?A.Coffee will replace oil to be the first most-traded commodity.B.Coffee is likely to become less popular than before.C.Some countries will suffer great economic losses.D.Farmers will plant other crops instead of coffee.答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“If Arabica becomes impossible to raise in its native areas,it could do serious damage to the economies of the mainly third-world countries in which it grows.”可知,如果将来种植户无法种植阿拉比卡咖啡豆,原来种植这种咖啡豆的国家的经济将遭受严重损失。故选C项。五、语篇填空(20162017湖南浏阳一中高二检测)One day when I was five years old,my mother took me to a swimming
