2016广东阳西县高考英语二轮阅读理解月练（4） 社会生活型阅读理解(二) increased use of the internet and mobile phones is undermining pupils capacity for independent study and promoting poor grammar, it was claimed.cranfield school of management found almost 6 in 10 schoolchildren were copying information directly from websites for homework tasks without properly reading it.more than a quarter thought it was an acceptable practice, even though they knew it was considered plagiarism (剽窃)the study, based on a sample of around 260 pupils aged from 11 to 18 at a secondary school in the midlands, raised fresh concerns that modern technology was having a destructive effect on young people.andrew kakabadse, professor of international management development at cranfield, said, “our research shows that technology obsession prevents spelling skills, encourages plagiarism, and disturbs classroom learning.”“despite school policies restricting mobile phone usage, students use the phone frequently, with the majority making calls from the toilets. the mobile phone continues to be a main channel of social communication during the school day.”the report revealed that the socalled “textspeak” was increasingly finding its way into pupils school work.3 in 10 students admit to using text message shortcuts, such as “r u ok” in essays and classroom tasks.it followed a study earlier this year that found almost half of teachers failed to understand some pupils writing because it was so full of confusing language. phrases such as “innit” and “gr8” were regularly found in school work, it was claimed.the cranfield study found that mobile use was so common that many pupils chose to ignore school rules on phones.more than a third said they would use their mobile phones in class, while nearly three quarters said they would not even make an excuse to leave class to answer a phone call.1the underlined word “undermining” in the first paragraph can best be replaced by “_”adeterminingbkeepingcweakeningdincreasing2it can be inferred from what kakabadse said that _ ahe is in favour of students mobile phone usage at schoolbhe believes schools are responsible for

dtolerant.(一)【要点综述】使用互联网和手机的学生越来越多了，可是，科技不仅给学生们带来了便捷，也给他们的学习带来了很多不利影响。1c词义猜测题。根据第二、三段可知，靠照搬网上资料完成家庭作业，实际上是一种抄袭，会影响学生的独立学习能力。undermine是“逐渐损害，削弱”的意思，故此处可以用weakening来代替。2d推理判断题。根据第六段第一句的“with the majority making calls from the toilets”和第二句“the mobile phonethe school day.”可推断，限制学生在学校使用手机是很困难的。3b细节理解题。根据第七至九段可知，短信语言可能会给学生的语言技能带来不利影响。4a主旨大意题。文章的第一段就点明了中心“高科技的使用对孩子的学习有不好的影响”。故选a。5c观点态度题。从文章的字里行间可以看出，作者对学生使用高科技产品(诸如手机之类)持忧虑态度。故答案为c。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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。beijing,

they are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. you catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. if cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the eskimos to suffer from them forever. but they do not. and in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported people are free from colds until they come into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mails dropped from airplanes. during the first world war soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches（战壕）, cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds. in the second world war prisoners at the auschwitz concentration camp, naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds. at the common cold research unit in england, volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. after taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in a drafty（通风良好的）room. some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.if, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter？despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer. one explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on. 31. the writer offered _ examples to support his argument. a. 4 b. 5 c. 6 d. 7【答案】b【解析】细节理解题。根据根据由第 2 段的两个例子、第 3 段的 1 个例子和第 4 段的两个例子可知 b 为正确选项。32. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. the eskimos suffer from colds from time to time. b. colds are not always caused by cold. c. people suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.d. a person may catch a cold by touching someone who already has one.【答案】d 【解析】细节理解题。根据根据 one explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times， and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on 可知人们得感冒不是因为喜欢呆在家里，而是因为经常呆在一起病毒更容易感染，故选 d。33. arctic explorers may catch colds when they are _.a. working in the isolated arctic regionsb. writing reports in terribly cold weatherc. free from work in the isolated arctic regionsd. coming into touch again with the outside world【答案】d【解析】细节理解题。根据and in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and

the reason and the way people catch colds d. the continued spread of common colds【答案】c【解析】主旨大意题。根据阅读全文可知本文首先用大量事例从不同的侧面分析感冒不是由寒冷引起的，最后提出冬天得感冒的可能原因。由此可知 c 为正确答案。阅读理解。if you want to know how crazy people can be about their pets, you might remember that helmsley left $12 million to her little maltese dog when she died.the dogs name is trouble. and apparently trouble is still alive. of course, i would hang on，too, if someone left me $12 million. look! topshelf dog food, soft pillows everywhere, drivers walking me in nice leafy parks. i would live to be 110 in dog years.the dogs story is still fresh in my mind the other night when i leave a steak house after a superb meal. then i notice a woman carrying a small bag out of the door behind me.once outside, she walks over to where a man is holding a tiny dog and its a baby. the dog looks like a maltese, too, barking and annoying, with a cute haircut.and now i am treated to an absolute astonishing sight. because now the woman reaches into the bag and begins pulling out little pieces of meat, which she puts on a plastic spoon and feeds to the dog.this is no cheap steak house. its_actually_way_out_of_my_leagueim there only because its a special occasion. i can tell you this: if i walked out of the place with any leftover steak, it sure wouldnt go to a dog. not at those prices.so now the woman is spoonfeeding the dog and the man is just standing there, holding this dog and looking as if this is the most normal thing in the world. and the dog is calmly chewing these pieces of steak as if hes a little king. and this dog is in no hurry. hes having a great time.a few minutes go by, and now the dog finishes all of his steak. at this point, i hear the woman say to the man，“think hes still hungry？” and she glances behind her at the restaurant, as if she might go back to get more steak for the dog.watching all this, im afraid im going to shout, “are you out of your mind feeding all that pricey steak to that little dog? do you see what our american life is like today? w
