江苏（丰县）2016高考英语（二轮）阅读理解选练（1）阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d) 中, 选出最佳选项。like many people you may be dreaming of a career as a rock and roll star. there are two ways to go about getting one. first there is the traditional way. find some friends and form a group. learn to play the guitar or the drums. write your own songs. spend hours arguing about the band name. then go on the road. the next step is to spend a year or two touring. if you are good, the crowds will get bigger. in the end an artist from a record company may come to a show. if he or she likes you，there may be a deal. this is the route traditionally followed by bands in the music industry. success means fame and wealth. and failure gives you some interesting stories to tell your children.over the last few years a different path to success has become known. boy bands like boyzone and girl bands like the spice girls dont come together on their own.they are created by managers and record companies.their image is strictly controlled. professional song writers usually write their music. this is a convenient arrangement and the public seems to love the result.though boy and girl bands have become very popular recently，there is a long tradition of making music in this way. in the early 1960s an american businessman called berry gordy founded motown records. motown is short for “motor town”. the record company was based in the city of detroit, where thousands of africanamericans had moved to work in the car industry. they brought with them a cultural tradition of writing and performing music. this style later became known as “soul music”. berry gordy was a diamond miner. he took raw talent from the street and polished it until it shone. motown stars were not just given songs to sing. they were also taught how to dress well and speak properly. 1in the first paragraph the writer seems to tell us _. a. to form a band is very hardb. the name of the band is very importantc. newlybuilt bands can only perform by roadd. to form a band is very simple答案：d推断题。依据第一段中“first.”所在的句子可看出作者认为组成一个乐队非常简单。2if a newborn band wants to succeed, as the writer tells, it must have the chance_.a. to travel in big citiesb. to perform before an artistc. to make an agreement with a record companyd. to experience failure again and again答案：c细节题。根据第二段中“in the end an artist from a record company may come to a show. if he or she likes you, there may be a deal.”可知c项正确。 3from the fourth paragraph，we can conclude that _.a. motown was only enjoyed by the workers in detroitb. motown showed the style of the black americansc. detroit used to be famous for its music industryd. detroit was founded by africanamericans答案：b细节题。依据该段中“. where thousands of africanamericans had moved to work in the car

might want to get some sleep insteadthats the message from a new study that finds that as you sleep, the mind consolidates the things you learn during the day study participants who learned how to play a video game in the morning or evening did a better job the next day after a nights rest, apparently because their brains were actively absorbing what theyd learned as they sleptthe finding shows that sleep is not just a passive state when no information is coming in, said howard nusbaum, a professor of psychology at the university of chicagofor the study, the researchers recruited 200 college studentsmost of them werent very familiar with playing video gamessome of the participants learned how to play the games in the morning, while others learned in the eveningthe researchers then tested the subjects on the video games 12 hours later and 24 hours laterthose who took part in the morning training sessions showed an average eight-percentage-point improvement in their performance immediately after trainingthey performed more poorlyscoring four percentage points better12 hours laterbut they scored 10 percentage points better the next morningif we train you in the morning and come back at the end of the day, you forget some of what you learned, nusbaum saidbut if you sleep after that, it restores some of what you learned the students who took part in the evening training sessions performed better the next morning after sleeping, than they did after being trainedthe role that dreams play in the learning processif anyisnt clearbut some dreams could serve as a kind of practice for the brain, nusbaum saidif you play a video game a lot, and youre playing in your dreams, maybe that could help you learnjerry siegel, professor at the center for sleep research at the university of calfornia, los angeles, said going without sleep hurts performance, but hes not convinced that sleep itself actively contributes to learning if you take a break for a few hours, it can easily be shown that learning did occur, because performance is better at the start of a new learning session than it was at the end of the initial session, he saidno sleep needs to occur for this to happen still, siegel suggested that sleep before learning a skill is crucialfor long-term retention, it is more important to be well rested and therefore attentive when you are doing the learning than afterwards, he saidit is even better if you dont have to choose and get your natural amounts of sleep every day 9what does the underlined word want （in paragraph 1） mean? alackbwish cdesiredneed

concerned with their own appearance and actions too much. negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am i making? do they like me? do i sound stupid? am i wearing unattractive clothes? it is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. a persons self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves affects other peoples reactions. in general, the way people think about themselves has a deep effect on all areas of their lives. shy people, who have low respect, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. they need faith that they are doing“the right thing”. shy people are very sensitive to criticism. it makes them feel inferior (自卑). they also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise. a shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this one: “youre just saying that to make me feel good, i know its not true.”it is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful. can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced
