湖北省咸宁市2016高考英语阅读理解暑假练习（11） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a.b.c和d项中，选出最佳选项。 chocolate soap is supposed to be good for the skin. but its not so good for the tongue. unfortunately for the us soldiers of world war ii, the chocolate bars the army gave them tasted like they were intended for use in the bath.in the armys defense, it wasnt trying to win any cooking awards. in fact, it specifically ordered that its chocolate bars not be too delicious, so soldiers wouldnt eat them too quickly. these bars were created for survival, not taste. “they were awful,” john otto, a former army captain in world war ii said. “they were big, thick things, and they werent any good. i tried em, but i had to be awful hungry after i tried them once.” as unappealing as the chocolate bars were to some, others liked them. samuel hinkle, the chemist who created the chocolate bars, pointed out that the number of bars made were far greater than the army needed. “it soon became obvious that the generous american soldiers were sharing their valued possessions with their foreign friends, whether soldiers of other countries or local citizens.” the bars turned many hungry europeans into friends of the united states. “people wanted them,” said otto. “youd give them to kids. in some places they were very hungry. and they sure helped relax people about american soldiers.” otto said he never saw a european turn his or her nose up at the chocolate. “it was food,” he said. “at that time, everyone was very hungry. i saw german kids standing outside the u.s. army kitchen. they werent begging, just standing there very politely. when we were done, the kids would eat the food out of the garbage. they were that hungry.”other europeans did not see chocolate until well after the war ended. “we didnt see any americans where i was,” said elizabeth radsma, who was 25 years old when the germans occupied her country, the netherlands. “even after the war, we saw only english. maybe the americans gave out some chocolate in the big cities, but we were only in a small town. before the british, we saw only german soldiers. but chocolate? dont make me laugh! maybe in my dreams!”a soldier in the field might have responded “be careful what you wish for” and then gratefully bit down on a chocolate bar, the only food available for miles.1. what was the american soldiers attitude towards the chocolate bars? a. they were delicious. b. they tasted awful. c. they were necessary for survival. d. too many of them were produced.2. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. the us soldiers used

demand for power and fuel grows steadily in the coming decades, we must consider every possible energy source on hand if were to meet the worlds needs. and because clean natural gas is found in great plenty, there is little doubt that it will play a major role on the world energy stage in this century, much like oil did in the last. but, like oil, gas reserves are concentrated in just a few places in the world, usually far from where theyre needed most. and thats only part of the challenge. the world has had well over 100 years to search for oil and to build the necessary facilities to bring it to market; the natural gas facilities, particularly when it comes to liquefied（液化）natural gas（lng）, are not nearly as developed. so what needs to be done? on the supply side, producing nations need policies that allow for better development of their natural gas in an open, stable business environment, notonein which the rules of the game change without warning. the governments of consuming nations, on the other hand, must make policies for sustainable（可持续的）development to ensure theyll have enough supplies in the future. that means building the related facilities, including lng stations. this, in turn, will require coastal areas to allow these necessary, but not necessarily pretty, facilities to be built in their backyards. and energy companies have a responsibility to be good neighbors in those areas by operating these facilities responsibly and safely. they must also continue to put in the billions of dollars needed to build the complex transport and storage facilities required to bring more gas to market. expanding and diversifying（使多样化）energy sources by using more natural gas could lead to lower fuel prices and to greater energy security. weve taken some of the steps to get started, but we need your help to get the rest of the way.41. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. gas played a major part in the 20th century. b. gas reserves are widely spread around the world.c. natural gas facilities are far from satisfactory. d. necessary facilities are ready to bring gas to market.42. the underlined word one（in paragraph 2）refers to _.a. a gas supply side b. a policy for gas development c. a gas consuming nation d. a business environment43. consuming nations of natural gas need to _.a. have long-term policies for gas supply b. open markets in their backyards c. build pretty facilities along the coast d. change the rules of the game44. the main purpose of the passage is to _.a. warn people of the lack of power and fuel b. discuss the importance of oil and natural gasc. instruct people how to make use of energy sourcesd. call for better use and development of natural gas 45. the passage might be followed by a paragraph about _. a.which countries are in great need of gas b. where energy sources are concentratedc. what kind of help you can offer d. what problems of energy sources we may face【参考答案】4145 cdadc

turn the cube over in their hands, not even knowing where to begin. thats exactly what it was like for me to learn how to read. letters and words were out of order. nothing made sense because i am dyslexic.the rubiks cube has made me believe that sometimes you have to take a few steps back in order to move forward. this was a reflection of my own life when i had to leave public school after the fourth grade. its embarrassing to admit, but i still couldnt always spell my full name correctly. as a fifth-grader at a new school specializing in whats called “language-processing disorder”, i had to start over. i then spent the next four years learning how to learn and find strategies that allowed me to return to my districts high school with the ability to communicate my ideas and express my intelligence. now, i can easily solve the 555. i discover that just before it is solved, a problem can look like a mess, and then suddenly you can find the solution. early in my rubiks career, i became so frustrated that i took the cube apart and rebuilt it. i believe that sometimes you have to look deeper and find answers in unexpected places. the rubiks cube taught me that to accomplish something big, it helps to break it down into small pieces. i learned that its important to spend a lot of time thinking, to try to find connections and patterns. i believe that there are surprises around the corner. like life itself, the rubiks cube can be frustrating puzzle. so everyday i carry a rubiks cube in my backpack as a reminder that i can achieve my goals, no matter what obstacles i face. 46. the author took the rubiks cube apart because _.a. he couldnt work out how to solve it b. he hated it and wanted to destroyed itc. he wanted to learn how to rebuild itd. he was eager to find
