2016高考英语暑假自选训练（1）阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的a,b,c或d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。for many of us, aspirin, one of the most common nonprescription drugs, is a constant companion. it is the most effective drug that we have, and if we eliminated all but three drugs, aspirin would definitely be one of the three drugs we should keep. even with all the new drugs available, it still has a place in many of our medicine cabinets, as a “miracle drug” in its ability to fight pain and inflammation (炎症) and even more amazing in its ability to reduce heart attack and stroke risk. aspirin is the first member of a class of substances called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids非甾体抗炎药). these drugs reduce pain, fever and inflammation, and are used to treat a variety of conditions. many believe that aspirin has many benefits not yet fully understood. media reports on the use of aspirin to prevent or treat diseases such as heart attacks and cancer leave many people struggling to keep all the facts straight. others who cannot tolerate aspirin might feel a bit left out as new uses and benefits of aspirin continue to appear in the news. in all cases, more researches are needed to determine what benefits aspirin may provide and whether these benefits would outweigh the potential side effects. aspirin, for example, is known to cause gastrointestinal (胃肠的) bleeding with heavy use, and there is research that indicates an increased risk of bleeding-related stroke in people who use it regularly. in some cases, these reactions can be killers. another potentially deadly problem is aspirin poisoning and most people dont know about it. before you start taking any of these over-the-counter (不需处方也可出售的) drugs on a long-term basis, its a good idea to discuss it with your health care provider. 1. from the second paragraph we know. a. humans have fully understood the benefits of aspirin. b. aspirin is the only member of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. c. not every one of us can take aspirin. d. aspirin can be used to stop bleeding. 2. whats the third paragraph mainly about?

a. finland. b. india. c. south africa. d. irish. 3. the following is true except . a. many artists or writers didnt realize the function of nature in the basis of american cultural identity until 1920s. b. the blues and jazz was quite popular in the 1920s and had a closely relation with african music. c. immigrants affected americas social diversity and it can be found in the change of the arts and culture at that time. d. the paintings which were created by robert henri and john sloan may be about the beautiful scenery of the city. 4. what is some of the cultural elites attitude towards the works written by the writers who came from europe? a. critical. b. reserved. c. positive. d. objective. 5. which of the following could be the best title of the passage? a. immigration and diversity in americab. american modern culture and artc. famous american artists and writersd. the united statesa developed country【参考答案】19. cbaaa 社会生活类-阅读理解。becoming aware of the warning signs of learning disabilities and getting children the necessary help early on can be key to a childs future. learning disabilities affect one in seven people according to the national institutes of health. parents, therefore, need to be familiar with the early indicators of a learning disability in order to get the right help as soon as possible. the earlier a learning disability is detected, the better chance a child will have of succeeding in school and in life. parents are encouraged to understand the warning signs of a learning disability from as early as pre-school. the first years in school are especially crucial for a young child. the most common learning disability is difficulty with language and reading. a recent national institutes of health study showed that 67 percent of young students identified as being at risk for reading difficulties were able to achieve average or above average reading ability when they received help early. many children and adults with learning disabilities remain undiagnosed and go through life with this “hidden handicap (障碍)”. the resulting problems can lead to poor self esteem, failure to thrive in school, and difficulty in the workplace. with early detection and intervention (干预), parents can give their children the necessary skills for coping with and compensating (补偿) for the learning disability. all children learn in highly individual ways. children with learning disabilities simply process information differently, but they are generally of normal or above-average intelligence. having a learning disability can affect a childs ability to read, write, speak, do math, and build social relationships. 1. what does the text mainly tell us?
