河北省辛集市2015高考英语阅读理解一轮训练（7）【2015高考复习】阅读理解about this time every year, i get very nostalgic(怀旧的)walking through my neighborhood on a fall afternoon reminds me of a time not too long ago when sounds of children filled the air，children playing games on a hill, and throwing leaves around in the street below. i was one of those children, carefree and happy. i live on a street that is only one block long. i have lived on the same street for sixteen years. i love my street. one side has six houses on it, and the other has only two houses, with a small hill in the middle and a huge cottonwood tree on one end.when i think of home, i think of my street. only i see it as it was before. unfortunately things change. one day, not long ago, i looked around and saw how different everything has become.life on my street will never be the same because neighbors are quickly grown old, friends are growing up and leaving, and the city is planning to destroy my precious hill and sell the property to contractors.it is hard for me to accept that many of my wonderful neighbors are growing old and wont be around much longer. i have fond memories of the couple across the street, who sat together on their porch swing almost every evening, the widow next door who yelled at my brother and me for being too loud, and the crazy old man in a black suit who drove an old car. in contrast to these people, the people i see today are very old neighbors who have seen better days. the man in the black suit says he wants to die, and another neighbor just sold his house and moved into a nursing home. the lady who used to yell at us is too tired to bother any more, and the couple across the street rarely go out to their front porch these days. it is difficult to watch these precious people as they near the end of their lives because at once i thought they would live forever.the “comings and goings” of the younger generation of my street are now mostly “goings”as friends and peers move on. once upon a time, my life and the lives of my peers revolved around home. the boundary of our world was the gutter at the end of the street. we got pleasure from playing night games or from a breathtaking ride on a tricycle. things are different now, as my friends become adults and move on. children who rode tricycles now drive cars. the kids who once played with me now have new interests and values as they go their separate ways. some have gone away to college like me, a few got married, two went into the army, and one went to prison. watching all these people grow up and go away makes me long for the good old days.perhaps the biggest change on my street is the fact that the city is going to turn my precious hill into several lots for now homes. for sixteen years, the view out of my kitchen window has been a view of that hill. the hill was a fundamental part of my childhood life; it was the hub of social activity for the children of my street. we spent hours there building forts, sledding, and playing tag. the view out of my kitchen window now is very different; it is one of tractors and dump trucks tearing up the hill. when the hill goes, the neighborhood will not be the same. it is a piece of my childhood. it is a visual reminder of being a kid. without the hill, my_street_will_be_just_another_pea_in_the_pod.there was a time when my street was my world, and i thought my world would never change. but something happened. people grow up, and people grow old. places changes, and with the change comes the heartache of knowing i can never go back to the times i loved. in a year or so, i will be gone just like many of my neighbors. i will always look back to my years as a child, but the place i remember will not be the silent street whose peace is interrupted by the sounds of construction. it will be the happy, noisy, somewhat strange, but wonderful street i knew as a child.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。秋日午后，“我”漫步街头，回想起孩提时的欢笑；而今许多邻居在变老，朋友长大成人并离“我”而去，街道也将面临开发：屋后的山已经被人承包，整个街道将不再是“我”以前的街道。16the writer calls up the memory of the street_.aevery year when autumn comesbin the afternoon every

her friends, and that friend can do the same, continuing the chain. eventually, your message could reach just about anyone in the world, and it might take only five to seven e-mails for the message to get there. scientists recently tested that idea in a study involving 24,000 people. participants had to try to get a message forwarded to one of 18 randomly chosen people. each participant started by sending one e-mail to someone they knew. recipients could then forward the e-mail once to someone they knew, and so on. targets, who were randomly assigned by researchers from columbia university in new york, lived in 13 countries. they included an australian police officer, a norwegian veterinarian, and a college professor. out of 24,000 chains, only 384 reached their goal. the rest petered out, usually because one of the recipients was either too busy to forward the message or thought it was junk mail. the links that reached their goal made it in an average of 4.05 e-mails. based on the lengths of the failed chains, the researchers estimated that two strangers could generally make contact in five to seven e-mails. the most successful chains relied on casual acquaintances rather than close friends. thats because your close friends know each other whereas your acquaintances tend to know people you dont know. the phenomenon, known as the strength of weak ties, explains why people tend to get jobs through people they know casually but arent that close to. so, start networking and instant messaging now. as they say in show business: its all about who you know. 6. if you want to get into touch with a stranger in the world, how many e-mails might it take for the message to reach him/her?a. 5 to 7b. 18c. 13d. 3847. which of the following is not true about the test?a. 24,000 people took part in the study and sent e-mails to people they knew.b. the 18 targets were chosen by chance.c. about 98.4% of the mails didnt reach their goal because some people were too busy or they mistook the message for junk mail.d. the targets come from 13 countries, such as australia, norway and new york.8. what does the word “estimate” mean in the passage?a. make sureb. supposec. think overd. imagine9. why do people tend to get jobs more easily through casual acquaintances than close friends?a. because close friends dont talk with each other so much.b. because casual acquaintances can help you know more people and make more friends.c. because close friends dont spend so much time gathering together.d. because casual acquaintances are kinder and more willing to help others.10. in which part of a newspaper will readers read this passage?a. culture b. entertainmentc. information and technologyd. health 全解全析本文主要讲述电子邮件将人们的联系拉近。6. a 细节理解题。由第一段最后一句可知。7. d 细节理解题。由第二段可知，a, b, c都正确；由第三段最后一句可知，d不正确。8. b 词义猜测题。estimate “估计”，与b选项suppose意思最接近。9. b 细节理解题。由第六段可知。10. c 推理判断题。因本文谈的e-mail与电脑有关，所以应与“信息和技术”相关。高考英语冲刺阅读理解专项-bin march 2008，joe ryan got a notice from a billing agency for a hospital near denver, colorado. the hospital wanted payment for surgery totaling $ 41,188. ryan had never set foot in that hospital. obviously there was some mistake. “i thought it was a joke,” says ryan. but when he called the billing agency，nobody laughed. someone, who s also named joe ryan, using ryans social security number, had indeed been admitted for surgery. he figured clearing this up would take a just few phone calls. two years later, ryan continues to suffer from the damage to his credit rating and still doesnt know if his medical record has been cleared of wrong information. joe ryan was the victim of a little-known but frightening type of consumer cheating that is on the rise：medical identity theft, which involves using your name to get drugs, expensive medical treatment and even cheating insurance payments. as ryan discovered, money isn t the half of it. when someone steals your name to receive health care, his medical history becomes part of your recordand setting the record straight can be extremely difficult. that s because，in part，the information is handed out among dozens of care-givers, from doctors to medicine stores to insurance companies and labs. i wanted to help straighten this out,” says ryan, so i went to the hospital, and they had a three-inch-thick record for me, but they wouldn t let me see it. i showed them my id, and they said that s not joe ryan s signature. well, of course not! they had this other guy s signature. ” ryan had fallen into a victim s catch-22： if your record doesn t appear to be yours, you may not have the right to read it, much less change it. ryan s next step was a visit to the police department. but the police said that there was not much they could do, that the local law enforcement has little experience with medical id theft, and cases like this can end up being considered a civil matter. 1. the billing agency sent joe ryan a notice to _.a. play a joke on him for medical treatmentb. inform him of the payment for his surgeryc. correct the mistakes about payment for his surgeryd. clear up the wrong information in his medical record答案解析：答案为b。本题为细节题。由第一段 “in march 2008，joe ryan got a notice from a billing agency for a hospital near denver, colorado. the hospital wanted payment for surgery totaling $ 41,188.”可知，the billing agency 通知joe ryan支付手术费用41,188美元，故答案为b。2. joe ryan at first thought his problem was _.a. easy to settleb. difficult to settlec. impossible to solved. unnecessary to solve答案解析：答案为a。本题为细节推理题。由第二段 “he figured clearing this up would take a just few phone calls.” 可知，joe ryan刚开始认为只要打几个电话就可以解决问题，故答案为a。 3. the number of medical identity theft cases in the united states is _.a. increasingb. decreasingc. countabled. changeable答案解析：答案为a。本题为细节题。由第四段首句 “joe ryan was the victim of a little-known but frightening type of consumer cheating that is on the rise：medical identity theft”可知，医疗身份盗窃在美国正在增加，故答案为a。4. an even worse consequence of medical id theft is _.a. some trouble in obtaining insurance paymentb. a big loss of money and damage to credit ratingc. the widely spread medical information of the victimd. the difficulty in changing the wrong medical history答案解析：答案为c。本题为推理题。由第五段可知，当别人盗用了你的名字来享受医疗服务后，他的医疗史就成为了你的医疗史，并且清除这些错误记录极其困难，因为你的信息已经给了许多照料者，包括医生、药店、保险公司和实验室。因此，医疗身份盗窃更糟糕的结果是受害者的医疗信息到处传播。故答案为c。干扰项最强的d选项“改变错误的医疗史非常困难”只是医疗身份盗窃的一个直接结果，但不是更糟糕的，因此排除d选项。阅读理解-cbritish
