seen.kepler 452b, which has been named earth 2, is six billion years old. it has a 385-day year and orbits its star at the same distance as us. it is so like earth that nasa believes it is possible that life once inhabited the planet. kepler 452b is 60 percent larger in diameter (直径) than earth. scientists say that the planet received the same kind of sunshine as we do on earth. thus, plants could survive if taken to the planet.since the planet is 1.5 billion years older than earth, scientists say it can show a possible future for earth. “if kepler 452b is indeed a rocky planets, its location could mean that it is just entering an uncontrollable greenhouse period of its climate history.” said doug caldwell, a scientist working on the kepler mission.according to caldwell, the increasing energy from its aging sun might be heating the surface and evaporating any oceans. kepler 452b could be experiencing now what earth will undergo more than a billion years from now, as the sun ages and grows brighter.the discovery also gives new hope that alien(外星人) civilizations may exist beyond the solar system. “we wont be going to this planet but our childrens childrens children might be.” said jeff coughlin, another research scientist on the kepler mission.the kepler space telescope (太空望远镜) has been looking for signs of new worlds outside the solar system since may 2009, and has so far found more than 4,000 planets. but those planets are either too hot or too cold to sustain life.（注：kepler mission nasa 设计的发现类地行星的太空探索任务）1. the following statements about kepler 452b (earth 2) are all correct except _.a. it has existed for six billion years.b. it is 60% larger in diameter than the earth.c. it has already entered an uncontrollable greenhouse period of its climate historyd. it is the closest planet to the earth.2. the importance of the discovery of earth2 lies in the fact that earth2 _. can show a likely future for the earth gives new hope that alien civilizations may exist beyond the solar system proves that life once inhabited the planet proves that plants can survive on other planets apart from the eartth. is going through now what the earth will undergo more than a billion years from nowa. b. c. d. 3. what can we infer from the text?a. the earth has existed for about 4.5 billion years.b. kepler 452b is one of the planets in the milky way.c. doug caldwel and jeff coughlin are both research scientists on the kepler mission.d. more than 4,000 planets outside the solar system still cannot sustain life now.1. c. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“its location could mean that it is just entering an uncontrollable greenhouse period of its climate history.”可知，“它的位置可能意味着它正在进入它的气候历史中不可控制的温室阶段”的说法只是一种推想，而不是已经进入了。句中的“could”是关键词，它表明了一种假想的情况。故答案为c项。2. d. 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话和第五段第一句话可知，答案应为d项。3. a. 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句话“kepler 452b, which has been named earth 2, is six billion years old.”和第三段第一句话中的“since the planet is 1.5 billion years older than earth,”可以推知答案应为a项。即地球存在的时间是：（6 billion 1.5billion = 4.5 billion）年。其余各项虽然表述是正确答，但都是原文直接提到的内容，不是推断出来的。2016高考选练-阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选出最佳选项。no one else knew about the extra club in zach nashs golf bag. it belonged to a friend, and zach forgot it was there as he played his way to victory in a junior tournament（锦标赛）this summer in wisconsin, us.the 14-year-old accepted his medal, celebrated with grandparents who had come from a long way to watch. but when he stopped by his country club to share the news, a professional player noticed something wrong. “count your clubs,” he told the teenager.fifteenone more than allowed. zachs eyes filled with tears.if zach had just won a basketball championship or a soccer game and someone had discovered a violation after the win, it would not have mattered. it is nothing unusual for a soccer player to dive to the turf to draw fouls（假摔以使对方犯规）.golf is different. in a win-at-all-costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard. golf isnt a game where referees watch closely. in golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each shot. competitors call penalties（处罚）on themselves. “it was a sport for gentlemen, and gentlemen did not care about winning. they care about doing the right thing,” said robert simon, a golf coach at hamilton college in new york.honesty became a medal of honor. when one of the games early stars, bobby jones, was praised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 us open, he replied: “you might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank.”so even the error had no effect on zachs final scorehe has never used the extra club. the teenager packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail. “but this was golf, and rules are rules. i just knew what i had to do,” he said. then came another tournament. before teeing off(开球), zach counted his clubsfour times.25. what can we infer from the text? a. a friend put an extra club in zachs bag secretly. b. breaking the rules has become acceptable in some sports. c. zachs grandparents discouraged him from calling a penalty. d. zach regretted sharing the news with the professional player. 26. according to robert, golf is different from other sports in that _.a. honor comes before victory b. players are superior to coachesc. referees have to watch each shot d. players usually do whatever it takes to win27. what can be learned from the underlined sentence in paragraph 7?a. one should be praised for not robbing a bank. b. bobby looked down upon those criminals.c. little did bobby care about the penalty. d. observing rules demands no praise.28. why did zach count his clubs four times before the following tournament?a. he felt stressful. b. he was forgetful.c. he remembered the lesson. d. he lacked self-confidence.参考答案25-28badc 2016高考选练-阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选出最佳选项。some years ago, three brothers left the farm to work in the city. they were all hired by the same
