山西灵丘县2017高考英语阅读理解一轮基础题（一）阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part. in. and live in.With this unshakable belief, I, at. fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other peoples writing can one discover what works, what doesnt and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has. Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品)As a. law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matterthe volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldnt necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.( ) 1. What can be inferred about the author as a child? A. He never watched TV. B. He read what he had to.C. He found reading unbelievable.D. He considered reading part of his life. ( ) 2. The underlined word voice in the second paragraph most probably means “ ”.A. an idea B. a sound qualityC. a way of writing D. a world to write about ( ) 3. What effect does reading have on the author? A. It helps him to realize his dream.B. It opens up a wider world for him.C. It makes his college life more interesting.D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.( ) 4. Which of the following can be the best title of this text? A. Why do I read? B. How do I read? C. What do I read? D. When do I read?语篇解读：本篇文章是记叙文。作者通过自己的亲身体验，讲述读书使人形成自己的独立观点，读书使人开扩视野的重要作用。1. 答案：D考点：细节理解题解析：根据首段第一二句， “I grew up in a house with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves.I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing”可知作者是在一个以书为伴的环境中长大的，读书像呼吸那样已经成为生活必需。2. 答案：C考点：词义推测题。解析：根据文中 “.but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own ”可以推断出voice所表达的意思是“写作方式”。3. 答案B考点：细节理解题解析：由文章的最后一句：“It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldnt necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.”可得出答案4. 答案：A考点：主旨大意题。解析：文章作者主要以自己的亲身体验讲述读书的重要性。因此Why do I read?“我为什么读书？”作题目最佳。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 【2014联考】My grandparents were married for over half a century, and played their own special game the time they had met each other. The goal of their game was to write the word “shmily” in a surprise place for the other to find. They took turns leaving “shmily” around the house, and as soon as one of them discovered it, it was their turn to hide it once more. They dragged “shmily” with their fingers through the sugar and flour containers to await whoever was preparing the next meal. “Shmily” was written in the steam left on the mirror after a hot shower, where it would reappear bath after bath. There was no end to the places where “shmily” would pop up. Little notes with “shmily” were found on car seats, or taped to steering wheels. The notes were put inside shoes and left under pillows. “Shmily” was written in the dust upon the mantel（壁炉架）and traced in the ashes of the fireplace. This mysterious word was as much a part of my grandparents house as the furniture.It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate my grandparents game. Skepticism has kept me from believing in true love - one that is pure and enduring (持久的). However, I never doubted my grandparents relationship. It was based on passionate（热情的）affection which not everyone is lucky enough to experience.But there was a dark cloud in my grandparents life: my grandmother had breast cancer. The disease had first appeared ten years earlier. As always, Grandpa was with her every step of the way. He comforted her in their yellow room, painted that way so that she could always be surrounded by sunshine, even when she was too sick to go outside. But my grandmother grew steadily weaker until, finally, she could not leave the house anymore. Then one day, what we all dreaded finally happened. Grandma was gone.“Shmily.” It was written in yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmothers funeral bouquet (花束). As the crowd thinned and the last mourners turned to leave, Grandpa stepped up to my grandmothers coffin and, taking a shaky breath, he began to sing to her. Through his tears and grief, the song came: S-h-m-i-l-y: See How Much I Love You.51. According to the passage, where may the word “shmily” be found?a. in the flour containersb. on the mirrorc. on the sheet of toilet paperd. on pillowse. on the furnitureA. a, b B. b, c C. a, d D. b, e52. The first paragraph is mainly about _.A. what the word “shmily” meansB. how the authors grandparents played their special gameC. how the author appreciated her grandparents gameD. how the authors grandparents cared for each other53. The underlined phrase “pop up” in Paragraph 1 means _.A. appear B. change C. survive D. work54.

Theories differ, but theres no doubt Napoleon was a major influence. The French have used the right since at least the late 18th century. Some say that before the French Revolution, noblemen drove their carriages on the left, forcing the peasants to the right. Regardless of the origin, Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered, including Russia, Switzerland and Germany. Hitler, in turn, ordered right-hand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s. Nations that escaped right-hand control, like Great Britain, followed their left-hand tradition.The U.S. has not always been a nation of right-hand drivers; earlier in its history, carriage and horse traffic travelled on the left, as it did in England. But by the late 1700s, people driving large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift（改变）to the right. A driver would sit on the rear（后面的）left horse in order to wave his whip（鞭子）with his right hand; to see opposite traffic clearly, they travelled on the right.One of the final moves to firmly standardize traffic directions in the U.S. occurred in the 20th century, when Henry Ford decided to mass-produce his cars with controls on the left (one reason, stated in 1908: the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge, especially if there is a lady to be considered). Once these rules were set, many countries eventually adjusted to the right-hand standard, including Canada in the 1920s, Sweden in 1967 and Burma in 1970. The U.K. and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the Western worlds few remaining holdouts(坚持不变者). Several Asian nations, including Japan, use the left as well- though many places use both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive cars.56. Why did people in Switzerland travel on the right?A. They had used the right-hand traffic since the 18th century.B. Rich people enjoyed driving their carriages on the right.C. Napoleon introduced the right-hand traffic to this country.D. Hitler ordered them to go against their left-hand tradition.57. Of all the countries below, the one that travels on the right is_.A. Austria B. EnglandC. JapanD. Australia58. Henry Ford produced cars with controls on the left _.A. in order to change traffic directions in the U.S.B. so that passengers could get off convenientlyC. because rules at that time werent perfectD. though many countries were strongly against that59. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Before the French Revolution, all the French people used the right.B. People in Britain and the U.S. travel on the same side nowadays.C. The Burmese began to travel on the right in 1970.D. All the Asian nations use the left at present.60. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Who made the great contribution to the shift of traffic directions?B. How cars have become a popular means of transportation?C. How Henry Ford produced his cars with controls on the left?D. Why dont people all drive on the same side of road?【参考答案】CABCD根据短文内容，从下框的AF选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。(每题2分，满分10分)Daily habits can affect our wellbeing.Here are five simple actions that research has shown make people feel good.1.Pause now and then to smell a rose or watch children at play.“Study participants who took time to savor ordinary events that they normally hurried through，or to think back on pleasant moments from their day，showed significant increases in happiness and reductions in depression，”says psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky.2.People who put money high on their priority list are more at risk for depression，anxiety，and low selfesteem，according to researchers Tim Kasser and Richard Ryan.Their findings hold true across nations and cultures.“The more we seek satisfactions in material goods，the less we find them there，”Ryan says.“The satisfaction has a short halflifeits very fleeting.” Moneyseekers also score lower on tests of vitality and selfactualization.3.“People who struggle for something significant，whether its learning a new craft or raising moral children，are far happier than those who dont have strong dreams or aspirations，”say Ed Diener and Robert BiswasDiener.“As humans，we actually require a sense of meaning to thrive.”Harvards professor，Tal BenShahar，agrees，“Happiness lies at the intersection between pleasure and meaning.Whether at work or at home，the goal is to engage in activities that are both personally significant and enjoyable.” 4.People who keep gratitude journals on a weekly basis are healthier，more optimistic，and more likely to make progress toward achieving personal goals，according to author Robert Emmons.Research by Martin Seligman，founder of positive psychology，revealed that people who write “gratitude letters” to someone who made a difference in their lives score higher on happiness，and lower on depressionand the effect lasts for weeks.5.A study by Duke University shows that exercise may be just as effective as drugs in treating depression，without all the side effects and expense.Other research shows that in addition to health benefits，regular exercise offers a sense of accomplishment and opportunity for social interaction，releases feelgood endorphins，and boosts selfesteem.答案1.C2.D3.B4.E5.A 阅读理解(每题2分，满分8分)选材相似度：设题相似度：难度系数：Despite the popularity of school spelling competitions，adults in the US performed poorly in a survey comparing how English speakers on both sides of the Atlantic deal with commonly misspelt words.Sixtytwo percent of Americans got “embarrassed” wrong，against 54 percent of Britons who struggled with the word in a survey last year.Adults in the US performed less well on most of the ten words tested，including millennium (52 percent wrong，against 43 percent in the UK)，liaison (61 percent to 54 percent) and “accommodation” (42 percent to 36 percent )Only “definitely” and “friend” were spelt correctly by more Americans.Jack Bovill of the Spelling Society，which sponsored (发起) the research，said the high inaccuracy rates in both countries showed the need for the English spelling system to be modernized.“When asked，only a quarter of adults thought they had a problem with spelling.The answers in the test prove that this_is_far_from_the_case，” he said.“What is holding the UK and the USA back is the irregular spelling system.”Professor Edward Baranowski，one academic consultant for the project，said，“We have different spellings for the same sound，and a system which reflects how English was spoken in the 13th to 15th centuries，not how it is spoken today.So many sound changes have occurred in the language，which is not reflected in modern spelling，that we are left with a fossilized (僵化的) system.”The study found that 40 percent of the respondents would support updating words that caused problems while 16 percent opposed
