石家庄裕华区2016高考英语 阅读类一轮练习（4）阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的a,b,c或d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。i needed to buy a digital camera, one that was simply good at taking good snaps(快照), maybe occasionally for magazines. being the cautious type, i fancied a reliable brand. so i went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. there in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. and it was on special offer. oh joy. i pointed at it and asked an assistant, “can i have one of those?” he looked perturbed (不安). “do you want to try it first?” he said. it didnt quite sound like a question. “do i need to? “ i replied. “theres nothing wrong with it? “ this made him look a bit insulted and i started to feel bad. “no, no, but you should try it,” he said encouragingly. “compare it with the others.” i looked across at the others:shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. with so many models to choose from, it seemed that i would have to spend hours weighing x against y, always trying to take z and possibly r into account at the same time. but when i had finished, i would still have only the same two certainties that i had entered the store with:first, soon after i carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what i paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model. but something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choice. in the end, i agreed to try the model i had chosen. the assistant seemed a sincere man. so i let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers. . . and when he started to introduce the special features, i interrupted to ask whether i needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well. why do we think that new options (选择) still offer us anything new? perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the foot that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine. 1. the shop assistant insisted that the writer should.a. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with itb. compare the camera he had chosen with the othersc. get more information about different companiesd. trust him and stop asking questions2. what does the writer mean by“it would be worth half what i paid for it” (paragraph 2)? a. he should get a 50% discount.b. the price of the camera was unreasonably high.c. the quality of the camera was not good.d. the camera would soon fall in value.3. the writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he.a. knew very little about itb. didnt trust the shop assistantc. wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the bestd. had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers4. it can be inferred from the passage that in the writers opinion, .a. people waste too much money on camerasb. cameras have become an important part of our daily lifec. we dont actually need so many choices when buying a productd. famous companies care more about profit than quality【参考答案】14、 bdcc社会生活类阅读理解。the garden city was largely the invention of ebenezer howard(18501928). after immigrating from england to the usa,and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer,he moved to chicago,where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871. in those days,it was nicknamed “the garden city”,almost certainly the source of howards name for his later building plan of towns. returning to london,howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s,drawing on ideas that were popular at the time,but creating a unique combination of designs.the nineteenth-century poor city was in many ways a terrible place,dirty and crowded;but it offered economic and social opportunities. at the same time,the british countryside was in fact equally unattractive:though it promised fresh air and nature,it suffered from agricultural depression(萧条) and it offered neither enough work and wages,nor much social life. howards idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement,the garden city. howards idea was that a group of people should set up a company,borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside,far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price.garden cities would provide a central public open space,radial avenues and connecting industries. they would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt,also owned by the company,containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions. as more and more people moved in,the garden city would reach its planned limithoward suggested 32,000 people;then,another would be started a short distance away. thus,over time,there would develop a vast planned house collection,extending almost without limit;within it,each garden city would offer a wide range of jobs and services,but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system,thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city.1. how did howard get the name for his building plan of garden cities?a. through his observation of the country life.b. through the combination of different ideas.c. by taking other peoples advice.d. by using the nickname of the reconstructed chicago.2. the underlined phrase “drawing on” in paragraph 1 probably means.a. making use of b. making comments onc. giving an explanation ofd. giving a description of3. according to howard,garden cities should be built.a. as far as possible from existing citiesb. in the countryside where the land was cheapc. in the countryside where agriculture was developedd. near cities where employment opportunities already existed4. what can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph?a. their number would continue to rise.b. each one would continue to become larger.c. people would live and work in the same place.d. each one would contain a certain type of business.5. what could be the best title for the passage?a. city and countrysideb. the invention of the garden cityc. a new city in chicagod. a famous garden city in england【参考答案】69.1-5 dabab 阅读理解 getting into the cityfrom john f. kennedy international airportqueens:（718)244-4444distance to midtown:15 milestime to midtown:50-60 minuteshours of operation:24travelers aid:(718)656-4870mta-new york city transit authority130 livingston st., brooklyn 11201;(718)330-1234, . buses from the airport connect with subway stops in queens and brooklyn: a free shuttle goes from jfk terminals to the a line; the q3 bus goes to the f line; and the b15 goes to the 3 line. also, the q10, operated by green bus lines(718 995-4700), connects to the e,f, j, and z lines. bus/ subway fare is 1.5, paid in exact change, with a token, or with a metrocard. reader card#67.ad on p.43.new york airport service(718)8758200, . operates bus shuttle every 2030 minutes to nycs penn station, port authority, and grand central terminal(13) and to manhattan hotels between 33rd and 57th sts.
