河北省秦皇岛市卢龙县2016高考英语阅读理解含语法填空练习（9）阅读理解。why should mankind explore space? why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on earth? these are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因构成) as human beings. what drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? the wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. with knowledge, we can lessen its effects. exploration also allows minerals and other potential(潜在的) resources to be found. even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. resources may be more than physical possessions. knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. the techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. we have already benefited from other spinoffs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. even nonstick pans and mirrored sunglasses are byproducts(副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!while many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. while space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. the danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.while earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. it is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.本文是一篇议论文，向我们阐述了人类进行太空探索的原因。人类的基因构成决定了人类探索其他领域包括太空的能力。人类探索太空可能暂时没有多大用处，但是在将来这可能会帮助人类生存下去。1why does the author mention the questions in paragraph 1?ato express his doubts.bto compare different ideas.cto introduce points for discussion.dto describe the conditions on earth.答案：c。推理判断题。作者在第一段提出问题目的是引出下面要讨论的话题。2what is the reason for exploring space based on paragraph 2?ahumans are natureborn to do so.bhumans have the tendency to fight.chumans may find new sources of food.dhumans dont like to stay in the same place.答案：a。细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句可知人类探索太空的原因是其基因的构成。3the underlined word “spinoffs” in paragraph 4 probably refers to _.asurvival chances bpotential resourcescunexpected benefitsdphysical possessions答案：c。词义猜测题。后面所说的“improvements in earthquake prediction，in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems”可知此处的划线短语意为“益处，好处”。4what makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?aour genetic makeup. bresources on the earth.cthe adaptive ability of humans.dbyproducts in space exploration.答案：c。细节理解题。根据最后一段的第一句话可知，人类的适应能力会让人类在其他星球生存下去。5which of the statements can best sum up the passage?aspace exploration has created many wonders.bspace exploration provides the best value for money.cspace exploration can benefit science and technology.dspace exploration may help us avoid potential problems on earth.答案：d。主旨大意题。a、b两项可以容易地排除。全文主要讲的是太空探索对帮助人类生存的益处，而不是对科技的益处。阅读理解lisa pina never thought she would need the fire safety training she received during her apprenticeship (学徒期) as a union painter and

used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers. an attraction of sport programs for the major u. s. media companies is that events are often held on saturday and sunday afternoonsthe slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. this means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming. media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. the people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. they also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance. golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. these sports attract few viewers, and the ratings (收视率) are unusually low. however, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. it is made up of people from the highest income groups in the united states, including many lawyers and business managers. this is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling highpriced cars, business and personal computers, and holiday trips. this is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach highincome consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computers. with such viewers, these programs dont need high ratings to stay on the air. 1. television sport programs on weekend afternoons _.aresult in more sport eventsbget more viewers to play sportscmake more people interested in televisiondbring more money to the television networks2. why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?abecause there would be few viewers.bbecause the advertisers would be off work.cbecause television programs would go slowly.dbecause viewers would pay less for watching television.3. in many families, men make decisions on _. aholiday trips bsports viewingctelevision shopping dexpensive purchases4. the ratings are not important for golf and tennis programs because _.atheir advertisers are carmakersbtheir viewers are

contribute most to television companies.csports are gaining importance in advertising on television.dcommercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport events.【要点综述】本文讲述的是通过在星期六和星期日的下午播放一些电视节目来吸引那些高收入的人来看，给广告带来了极大的效益。说明体育在电视广告中起着很重要的作用。1. d细节理解题。由文章的“sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television

【参考答案】6467ddcc 【2014高考英语福建省联考试卷】di feel it enormous responsibility, as a mother of two little girls, to lead you down a path that is relatively healthy when it comes to beauty and self-image. in a lot of womens eyes ive probably already failed in that respect due to the amount of pink princess barbie (芭比娃娃) mess cluttering up (堆满) veras room. but i will say something about barbie: i played with that stuff for a solid decade when i was growing up and here i am now at a healthy weight with a healthy outlook on my body and image. i have a successful career. if barbie was really so damaging to my femininity (女性气质) and self-image i highly doubt i could list all of the accomplishments.but i get it too. its hard for women to maintain a healthy self-image. i have girlfriends around whom i have to brace myself to see, because just being around them makes me self-conscious. i look at old pictures of my mother and wonder why ive never been able to be as skinny as she was. and then i have friends who are thinner than their mothers ever were. we women go round and round in circles, holding hands and trying to be one another sometimes. men like to think we dress and style ourselves for them, but why would we when they hardly notice? ive never tried so hard to look good when i know im about to meet up with a stylish girlfriend. its she who will notice my slimmed-down waist or the thinnest, little bracelet on my arm.and i have no doubt that the two of you, veronica and juliette, will endlessly compare yourselves to each other. you will wonder why one of you got longer legs or shinier hair. the thing ill tell you is this: not even the prettiest of us feel settled. the girl you think looks the most perfect in the world is probably the girl who wants to change herself more than anyone else.dont take these on. you are not worthless. you are so full of love and light and you should let it shine through your every second. if someone pushes you down for standing tall then just push yourself back up and stand even taller. and know that the reason they push you down in the first place is just because theyre scared.68. from the second paragraph, we can infer that the author _.a. regrets buying so much barbie stuff for her daughtersb. thinks loving barbie makes her not confident about her self-imagec. owes her beauty and success to playing with barbied. thinks playing with barbie caused no damage to her beauty and success69. in the third paragraph, the author intends to show that _.a. women tend to be proud of their beautiful friendsb. she cares much about her appearance c. she feels proud of her mothers beautyd. women tend to admire others and compare with each other70. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. the author is disappointed that few men take notice of her slim figure.b. the author cares more about looking good before her girlfriends.c. girls should constantly compare themselves with others to improve their beauty. d. only the prettiest girl can feel confident about her beauty.71. the author advises her daughters that _.a. they should be cautious not to be pushed down by othersb. they should care much about their strong points instead of appearances c. they should try to grow taller than othersd. they should care more about others opinions【参考答案】6871ddbb
