重庆市2017高考英语阅读理解选编（74）（2017高考训练）阅读理解。one afternoon last week, i saw three tearful children from my sons school being comforted by teachers.that morning, my 11yearold son had stomach pains, retching (干呕) into a bowl.talking to other mothers later, i heard about other children with stomachache or difficulty sleeping the night before.what caused so much pain？sports day.sports day might be necessary at a highlycompetitive independent school, but not at a village primary school.for the children who can fly like the wind, sports day causes no problem.for those who are overweight or just not good at sport, it is a nightmare (噩梦).even for those who enjoy running but fall halfway down the track in front of the entire school and their parents, it can prove a disaster.why do we put our children through this annual suffering？some may say competition is character building; or its taking part, not winning, thats important；or that it is a tradition of school life.i just felt great pity for those children in tears or in pain.team games at the end of sports day produced some close races, wild enthusiasm, lots of shouting and were fun to watch.more importantly, the children who were not so fast or quick at passing the ball were hidden a little from everyones eyes.some of them also had the thrill of being on the winning side.i wish that sports day could be abandoned and replaced with some other lesscompetitive event.perhaps an afternoon of team games, with a few races for those who want them, would be less stressful for the children and a lot more fun to watch.1.what can we learn about the authors son from paragraph 1?a.he talked with some mothers.b.he comforted his classmates.c.he had difficulty in sleeping.d.he suffered from stomachache.2.sports day is still an annual event in

managementfound almost six in ten schoolchildrenwere copying information directly from websites for homework tasks without properly reading it. more than a quarter thought it was an acceptable practice, even though they know it was considered plagiarism(剽窃). the study, based on a sample of around 260 pupils aged from 11 to 18 at a secondary school in the midlands, raised concerns that modern technology was having a destructive effect on young people. andrew kakabadse, professor of international management development at cranfield, said, “our research shows that technology obsession(痴迷)prevents spelling skills, encourages plagiarism, and disturbs classroom learning. ”“despite school policies restricting mobile phone usage, students use the phone frequently, with the majority making calls from the toilets. the mobile phone continues to be a main channel of social communication during the school day. ”the report revealed that so-called“text-speak”was increasingly finding it was into pupils school work. three in ten students admit to using text message shortcuts, such as“r u ok”in essays and classroom tasks. it followed a study earlier this year that found almost half of the teachers failed to understand some pupils writing because it was so full of confusing language. phrases such as“innit”and“gr8”were regularly found in school work. the cranfield study found that mobile use was so common that many pupils chose to ignore school rules on phones. more than a third said they would use their mobile in class, while nearly three quarters said they would not even make an excuse to leave class to answer a phone call. 【文章大意】使用互联网和手机的学生越来越多了。可是, 科技不仅给学生们带来了便捷, 也给他们的学习带来了很多不利影响。1. the underlined word“undermining”in the first paragraph can best be

nobel prize for medicine，said he had predicted at the time of his frog experiments that the successful cloning of a mammal would happen within 50 years，and that “maybe the same answer is appropriate” for the step to human cloning.parents who lose children in accidents may be able to clone “copies” to replace them then.although any attempt to clone an entire human would raise complex moral issues，the biologist claimed people would soon overcome their concerns if the technique became medically useful.cloning was regarded with extreme doubts when it was first developed but became widely accepted after the birth of louise brown，the first “test tube baby”he said，“when my first frog experiments were done，an american reporter asked how long it will be before these things can be done in mammals or humans.i said，well，it could be anywhere between 10 years and 100 yearshow about 50 years？it turned out that it wasnt far off the mark as far as dolly was concerned.maybe the same answer is appropriate.”sir john added that cloning a human being effectively means making an identical twin，and doctors would therefore simply be “copying what nature has already produced”the average vote on allowing parents of deceased children，who are no longer fertile(能生育的)，to create another using the mothers eggs and skin cells from the first child，thinking the technique was safe and effective，is 60 per cent in favor.the reasons for “no” are usually that the new child would feel they were some sort of a replacement for something.【语篇解读】本文是一篇科普说明文。主要介绍了克隆人类或在未来50年内变成现实。1sir john predicted the human
