湖南桑植县2017高考英语一轮阅读理解选编阅读理解when you consider what subject to study in college, chances are that you and your parents will think about what you can make out of it after graduation. you will likely ask the question: “can i find a well-paid job or simply a job with a degree in this in the future?” this consideration also influences students when they come to choose between studying science or humanities (人文学科) at college. people generally believe that the humanities, which include literature , history, cultural studies and philosophy, do not prepare students for a specific vocation (职业). science subjects, however, are considered vocational courses that produce scientists, engineers and economists (经济学家). “ive decided to take finance as my college major. my parents and i think this subject will help me get a good job or start a business,” said huachen yueru, 17, a science student at wuxi no. 1 high school. even those who choose a liberal arts (文科) education often pick the humanities subject which they think will best help them later find a job. “im going to study spanish in college, which i believe will open doors to a high-paying job for me,” said liu chao, 18, a senior 2 student at dalian no 20 high school. he said few of his classmates show interest in subjects like philosophy and history, which are seen as “less promising” in job markets.the popularity of liberal arts subjects among college students has also been decreasing in the united states. american scholars (学者) and universities are concerned that in the ongoing economic crisis (经济危机) liberal arts subjects will be hit hardest. as money tightens (紧缩), they worry that the humanities may become “a great luxury (奢侈品) that many cannot afford”, according to the new york times.44. when you

humanities are becoming less and less popular with the students.b. studying science subjects is sure to find a well-paid job.c. the humanities in college should be cancelled. d. the writer thinks those who choose the liberal arts education will choose their favorite subjects.47. what does the underlined word “it” refer to in the first paragraph ?a. the subject you study in college b. science

of history students in canada.it all started when graham broad,a professor at the university of western ontario,found mckays name in a footnote in a book about university history. mckay was included in a list of university alumni (校友)who had served during the first world war,but his name was unfamiliar to broad,a specialist in military history. out of curiosity,broad spent hours at the local archives (档案馆)in a fruitless search for information on mckay. tired and discouraged,he finally gave up. on his way out,broads glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. his eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. as he read the words beside the picture,he experienced a thrilling realization. “after looking for him all day,there he was,staring up at me out of the exhibiting case,” said broad. excited by the find,broad asked his students to continue his search. they combed old newspapers and other materials for clues. gradually,a picture came into view.captain alfred edwin mckay joined the british royal flying corps in 1916. he downed ten enemy planes,outlived his entire squadron(中队)as a wwi flyer,spent some time as a flying instructor in england,then returned to the front,where he was eventually shot down over belgium and killed in december 1917. but theres more to his story. “for a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most famous pilot in the world,” says broad. “he was credited with downing oswald boelcke,the most famous german pilot at the time.” yet,in a letter home,mckay refused to take credit,saying that boelcke had actually crashed into another german plane.mckays war records were destroyed during a world war air bombing on londonan explanation for why he was all but forgotten.but now,thanks to the efforts of broad and his students,a marker in mckays memory was placed on the university grounds in november 2007. “i found my eyes filling with tears as i read the worddeceased (阵亡)next to his name,” said corey everrett,a student who found a picture of mckay in his uniform. “this was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us,but instead of finishing his time at western,he chose to fight and die for his country.”1. what made professor broad continue his search for more information on mckay?a. a uniform of mckay.b. a footnote about mckay.c. a book on mckay. d.

speeding. when the technology becomes commercially available, it could help lead-footed drivers avoid tickets and also save lives. the company that developed the product hopes to convince australian government agencies to put the technology into use in their automobile fleets.the product, called speed alert, links real-time location data and speed obtained with the help of gps to a database of posted speed limits stored in a drivers pda or programmable mobile phone. the setup of the product does not need to be hooked up to a cars speedometer. in fact, it is entirely portable. it will also work with newer phones and pdas that have built-in gps receivers. if a driver exceeds the speed limit, the speed is shown and an alert sounds.michael paine, an australian vehicle design engineer and traffic safety consultant, was hired to analyze the product. he told live science that his colleagues in the road safety field are “very enthusiastic” about what theyre now calling “intelligent speed alert.” other research, according to paine, shows that 40 percent of all traffic deaths involve speeding. there is also a potentially controversial future use: “since the system is so portable, it would be easy to make it a requirement for teenage drivers to always use a speed alert device when driving,” paine said. “the system even has the capability to record speeding violations, so parents can monitor their teenage drivers.”the product will soon go on sale in sydney.48. whats the purpose of the new product?a. to inform us of the new car system. b. to introduce some improvement in cars.c. to limit certain drivers to safe driving. d. to popularize the built-in car system.49. the second paragraph mainly talks about .a. the project of the built-in product b. why the system becomes

and its future use.b. progress in car-making science.c. warning for adventurous drivers.d. new in-car device against speeding.d体裁：科普文章 词数：265 难度系数： 建议用时：7分钟 类别：推理判断题+主旨大意题+词义猜测题+细节理解题 本文标题： an alert device against speeding 【文章大意】：文章主要 向人们讲述了一种现代科学技术下的汽车超速提示系统。48.【考点分析】推理判断题。【参考答案】c。【解题思路】 文中第一段提到这个系统能够帮助驾驶员降低速度减少收到罚单的几率并能够保证司机的驾驶安全。根据这些分析我们可以发现c项正确。其余几项说明的不是这个新产品的目的。而是这个文章的目的。49.【考点分析】主旨大意题。【参考答案】d。【解题思路】 通读第二段我们可知该段主要讲述了这种产品的运行程序。50.【考点分析】细节理解题。【参考答案】b。【解题思路】文章最后一段提到的michael paine 的看法。a项的说法是错误的。c项没有根据，文中仅提到了这个产品对teenagers 的限制。d 项说法错误。故文中提到teenagers

bedtime as part of a comprehensive “family media use plan”, according to new recommendations from the american academy of pediatrics. “excessive media use is associated with obesity, poor school performance, aggression and lack of sleep”, said marjorie hogan, co-author of the new policy. families should have a no-device rule during meals and after bedtime, the guidelines say. parents should also set family rules covering the use of the internet, cellphones, including, perhaps, which sites can be visited, and who can be called. the policy also restated the existing recommendations: kids should limit the amount of screen time for entertainment to less than two hours per day; children younger than 2 shouldnt have any tv or internet exposure. also, televisions and internet-accessible devices should be kept out of kids bedrooms. doctors say parents need to obey the family rules, too, to model healthy behavior. that, some say, may be the toughest part. “if you go to any restaurant, family 3.0 is mom and dad on their devices and the kids on theirs”, says donald, a pediatrician(小儿科医师) and an aap spokesman. “who is talking to each other?” children aged from 8 to 18 spent an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes a day consuming media for fun, including tv, music, video games and other content in 2009, according to a 2010 report from the kaiser family foundation. the report was based on a survey of 2002 third through twelfth graders, 702 of whom completed a seven-day media use diary. that was up about an hour and 17 minutes a day from five years earlier. about two-thirds of 8 to 18-year-olds said they had no rules on the amount of time they spent watching tv, playing video games or using the computer, the kaiser report found. use of mobile devices by young kids has soared. a
