江西九江市2016高考英语（二轮）阅读理解选练（2）阅读理解解读ugg boots have been a winterweather fashion for several years now, combining function, comfort, warmth and even some style. what many uggenthusiasts dont know is that their boots are a breeding ground for bacteria and cause foot problems.doctors believe the boots, which are particularly popular among young teenage girls, are leading to a rise in the number of people suffering pains in their feet and knees.dr. ian drysdale, head of the british college of osteopathic medicine, believes because the foot does not get the proper support on the inside, it will lead to more ankle, knee, hip and back problems. “these boots are not designed for outside wear. just because something becomes a trend or fashionable doesnt mean its good or right，” he said. “the particular problem with this type of footwear is that it is unsupported. its a slipper. you wouldnt normally expect to be doing outdoor activities from something thats indoor. if you decide to wear your pajamas outside all the time, someone will come up and say its not a good idea.” dr. drysdale explained that the feet issues become a particular problem among young teenage girls, whose bones are “plastic” and developing when they are growing. “if that structure is developing in an inappropriate way，” he said，“then the ultimate structure will be deformed.”mike oneill, a consultant surgeon, said，“as the foot slides around, you get wear and tear (磨损) on the joints on the inside of the foot. the ankle is in the wrong position, the thigh bone also changes position, and you get an abnormal movement in the pelvis, which leads to back problems.”ugg australia, who makes the designer version of the boots, told the daily wirror that their boots are “comfort” rather than “performance” footwear and consumers should be aware of “knockoffs (仿制品)” which lack reinforced heels in their boots.文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了雪地靴因它的时尚、舒适、保暖等特性而备受年轻女孩的青睐。但研究人员发现，在它时尚的外观背后，隐藏着一些不为人知的健康隐患。9teenage girls

who didnt“weve known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but weve not seen this benefit before, ” said susan jebb, head of nutrition and health at britains medical research

activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intakepublic health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changesbut because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 years“we cant say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things, ”said drtim armstrong, a physical activity expert at the world health organization“the 14 years is an average across the population of whats theoretically（理论上地）possible”“most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking isnt good for them, ” susan jebb said“we need to work on

average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past ten years. a drunken driver is usually referred to as one with 0.10-blood alcohol content or roughly three beer glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the american manly image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken killing has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially concerning young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant（忍受）.twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend（逆转潮流）in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. after new jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 1820-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink.though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests in many areas already, to a marked drop in accidents, some states are also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks. a bar in massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously drunk” and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.as the accidents continue to occur daily in every state, some americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years national prohibition（禁令）of alcohol that began in 1919, which president hoover called the “noble experiment”. they forgot that legal prohibition didnt stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption（腐败）and organized crime. as with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.57. what can be inferred from the fact of the traffic accidents in new jersey?a. young drivers were usually bad.b. the legal drinking age should be raised.c. some drivers didnt surprise the legal drinking age.d. drivers should not be allowed to drink.58. the underlined word “lenient” in the first paragraph means .a. mercifulb. cruelc. seriousd. determined59. as regards drunken driving, public opinion has changed because .a. judges are no longer lenientb. new laws are introduced in some statesc. drivers do not appreciate their manly imaged. the problem has attracted public attention60. which of the following statements best shows the writers opinion of drunken driving?a. it is difficult to solve this problem.b. it may lead to organized crime.c. the new laws can stop heavy drinkingd. there should be no bars to serve drinks.【答案】5760、bada阅读理解解读deception (骗术) is something that people do all the time, and it plays an important role in military (军事的) strategy. now some researchers are trying to figure out how to get robots to do it, by looking at the behavior of squirrels and birds.at georgia tech, a team led by ronald arkin, a professor at the school of interactive computing, studied the literature on squirrels hiding their acorns (橡果). squirrels will hide their food in a certain place, but when they see other squirrels trying to steal from them, they attempt to fool the thieves by running to a false location.ronald arkin and his ph. d. student jaeeun shim used that as a model for robot behavior. they programmed the robot into tricking a “predator (捕食者)” machine by doing what a squirrel does: showing the enemy a false location for an important resource.the team also looked at how other animalsin this case, a species of bird called arabian babblerdrive off predators. a babbler will make an alarm call when they see a predator and other babblers will join the bird and make more calls. they then surround the predator, all the while flapping (拍打) wings and making noises. the babblers dont ever actually fight the animal they want to drive off; they just make enough noises and flaps around enough so that it seems that attacking a babbler isnt worth it.they found that the deception works when the group reaches a certain sizeessentially, when enough birds arrive to convince the enemy that its best to back off. davis modeled that behavior in software using a military scene and found that it worked even if the group didnt have the firepower to confront the enemy directly.the military is interested in this because a robot that can fool an opponent is a valuable tool. it could lead an enemy down a false trail or make itself look more dangerous than it actually is.文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了骗术在军事策略中起着重要的作用，一些研究人员正在通过研究松鼠和鸟类的活动，希望机器人能模仿这些行为，以便能有效地应用于军事中。13why does the military want to take advantage of squirrels trick?ait can reduce the use of firepower to confront
