河南鲁山县2017高考英语阅读理解暑假选练阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。A different sort of generation gap is developing in the workplace. Someone - specifically the father-daughter team of Larry and Meagan Johnson - has figured out that on some American job sites, five generations are working side by side.In their new book about generations in the workplace the pair argue that while such an age difference adds a lot of texture and a variety of life experiences, it can also bring tensions and conflicts.The Johnsons are human-resource trainers and public speakers. Dad Larry is a former health-care executive; daughter Meagan is a onetime high-level sales manager.Here are the oldest and youngest of the five generations they identify:They call the oldest group Traditionals, born before 1945. They were heavily influenced by the lessons of the Great Depression and World War Two. They respect authority, set a high standard of workmanship, and communicate easily and confidently. But theyre also stubbornly independent. They want their opinions heard.At the other extreme are what the Johnsons call Linksters, born after 1995 into todays more complicated, multi-media world. They live and breathe technology and are often social activists.You wont find many 15-year olds in the offices of large companies, except as volunteers, of course, but quite old and quite young workers do come together in sales environments like bike shops and ice-cream stores.The Johnsons, Larry and Meagan, represent a generation gap themselves in their work with jobsite issues. The Johnsons point is that as the average lifespan continues to rise and retirement dates get delayed because of the tight economy, people of different generations are working side by side, more often bringing with them very different ideas about company loyalty and work values.The five generations are heavily influenced by quite different events, social trends, and the cultural phenomena of their times. Their experiences shape their behavior and make it difficult, sometimes, for managers to achieve a strong and efficient workplace.Larry and Meagan Johnson discuss all this in greater detail in a new book, “Generations, Inc.: From Boomers to Linksters - Managing the Friction Between Generations at Work,” published by Amacom Press, which is available in all good bookstore from this Friday.1. The type of generation gap in paragraph 1 refers to the difference in beliefs _.A. between managers and workers B. among family membersC. among employees D. between older and newer companies2.

According to the passage, modern workforces are more diverse because _.A. people want to increase their average lifespanB. many young people are entering the workforceC. employees with different values can benefit their companiesD. retirement dates are being delayed for economic reasons5.

How do you think the writer has realized his mistake?A. So many people have found the habit of smoking due to his playsB. His plays have brought great harm to teenagersC. He himself suffered greatly from smokingD. His screenplays have been doing more and more harm to human beings答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。由第三段的首句提到的 “I find it hard to forgive myself”和该段最后一句提到的 “and I will try to stop others from committing the same crimes I did.”, 以及第四段首句 “Eighteen months ago I was diagnosed with throat cancer, the result of a lifetime of smoking” 可知，作者难以原谅自己，将会努力阻止别人和他一样犯相同的罪，因为他诊断有吸烟导致的喉癌，故答案为C，作者自己深受吸烟之害。 A选项与题干无关；B选项未提及；D选项夸大了他的作品的危害，均不选。3. According to the passage, what does the underlined sentence mean?A. He has made up his mind to give up smoking foreverB. He will try his best to prevent others from writing screen plays encouraging smokingC. He will try his best to bring up his four childrenD. He has decided to write his screenplays without smoking scenes答案解析：答案为D。本题为语义理解题。划线部分所在的句意为“我会尽我一切所能来消除我在荧幕上创作的文字和形象给人们带来的伤害”。这种伤害来自第一段提到的作者的作品中吸烟是必需的场景，由此可以推断，划线部分意为作者决定在自己的作品中不再有吸烟场景。故答案为D。4. It can be inferred from the passage that _A. the writer will soon be recovered from his illness thanks to his exerciseB. the writer will soon die because of his deadly diseaseC. smoking will be got rid of in all Hollywood films D. smoking in Hollywood films is still doing great harm to human beings答案解析：答案为D。本题为推理题。由第四段第二句话 “I am alive but disabled” 可知，作者虽然活着但是残疾了，故A、B选项错误。由最后一段最后一句话 “I dont wish my fate upon anyone in Hollywood, but I beg that Hollywood should stop putting it upon millions of others” 可知，作者不希望自己的命运降临到好莱坞的任何人身上，但是乞求好莱坞应该阻止吸烟导致的危害降临到成千上万人的身上，可以推断，好莱坞电影上出现的吸烟场景仍然在对人们造成伤害，故C选项错误，D选项正确。【广东省2012届高三考前冲刺卷(六)】D“I got married at 16，”says the smiling Mona Lisa，made famous in Leonardo Da Vincis famous painting.She breaks her silence to wave to the audience and answers their questions.Thanks to 3D technology，holographic images(全息影像)and voice recognition technologies，Mona Lisa can speak and move.It is the first time the advanced technologies have been fused together in one exhibition，which gives audiences the opportunity to experience the wonders of advanced technology.Threedimensional，or 3D，technology creates visual illusions(错觉)and enables people to see images in the round that are actually only twodimensional.Although 3D technology is a difficult scientific concept，it is already being widely used in peoples daily lives.With the development of new threedimensional digital technologies，it has been changing peoples ways of communicating and working.Digital cameras that record in 3D have been brought to market.Manufacturers have also launched 3D digital photo frames，which can broadcast 3D photos.Processing software allows flat photos in the frame to achieve 3D visual effects that can be seen by users without wearing special glasses.After nine years of research，China took the lead to establish a 3D Internet marketing platform.Internet users can go shopping in a 3D environment just like in the real world by selecting goods，checking reviews and trying out recommended goods.Web 3D technology will be used in more fields such as automobiles and travel.In traveling，tourists can enjoy scenic spots，monuments and si
