湖南汨罗市2017高考英语阅读理解一轮选练阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 (2016河南省普通高中毕业班适应性测试)Is geography important? Heres a question for you to answer.What have the following countries got in common: Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, Iceland and Madagascar?Quite easy if you can picture them on the globe they are all islands. All of these nations are surrounded by sea.What have these five nations got in common? Hungary, Botswana, Kazakhstan, Paraguay and Liechtenstein. They are all landlocked. In other words, in contrast to the first five countries whose coastline forms their border, the second five have no coastline at all. If you are a Hungarian or a Paraguayan, you have to pass through somebody elses country if you want to go to the beach.Liechtenstein is even more of a geographical phenomenon; it is “doubly landlocked” because the countries that surround it Austria and Switzerland are also landlocked. There is only one other country in the world in a similar position, Uzbekistan, which is surrounded by five other landlocked countries. Go and have a look at the map if you want to know which.So how do countries become landlocked? If you are Swiss or Nepalese, you have probably never thought things could be any other way. Switzerlands mountains, like the Himalayas, have formed a natural boundary for thousands of years. But there are borders. Where one country ends and another begins is not something that is fixed for all time.There are countries like Ethiopia and Bolivia which did have a bit of coast but dont any more. Does it matter? The Ethiopians are not happy that the creation of Eritrea means they now have to use another countrys port, when before they had a long coastline on the Red Sea.But why does coastline matter so much? Throughout history people have preferred to live near the sea, and not just for the fish. Sea means trade, which means wealth. Think of the great successful cities like Singapore, New York or Hong Kong today. Russia has fought several wars over the centuries so that its ships could have access to the Baltic, the Black Sea and the Pacific._1.What have countries like Hungary, Botswana, Kazakhstan, Paraguay and Liechtenstein got in common?A.They have no borders.B.They have no coastline at all.C.They are all surrounded by sea.D.They had long coastlines before.2.Which group of the following countries are doubly landlocked ones?A.Liechtenstein and Uzbekistan.B.Iceland and Madagascar.C.Australia and the United Kingdom.D.Austria and Switzerland.3.Why does coastline matter so much?A.Because sea means wealth.B.Because people can eat fish.C.Because borders are fixed all time.D.Because people prefer to live near the sea.4.Whats the missing sentence at the end of the text?A.Coastline is the main cause of wars.B.Then whats the disadvantage of coastline?C.Geography, it seems, can make a big difference.D.Perhaps other means of transport can be improved.1解析：选B细节理解题。根据第四段第四句“In other words .the second five have no coastline at all.”可知，这五个国家都没有海岸线。故答案选B。2解析：选A细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“Liechtenstein is even more .are also landlocked.”及第二句中的“There is only one other country in the world in a similar position, Uzbekistan”可知，列支敦士登和乌兹别克斯坦都是双重内陆国。故答案选A。3解析：选A细节理解题。根据第八段第三句“Sea means trade, which means wealth.”可知，海岸线的重要性在于大海意味着财富。故答案选A。4解析：选C推理判断题。第八段主要介绍了海岸线的重要性。由此可推知，文章末尾缺少的句子应总结上述观点：地理似乎很重要。故答案选C。2016高考训练题-阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one anothers hands for reassurance. They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger cocoon. It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of todays parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you dont care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts. 32. In this passage, the author wants to tell _. A. teenagers to try to pursue their real selves B. readers to try to be popular with people around C. parents to try to control and guide their children D. people to try to understand and respect each other33. The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers _. A. growing away from their parents B. following the popularity trend C. walking a new way on their own D. turning to their friends for help34. The phrase “larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to _. A. the distractive and variable society B. the dazzling music world C. the parental care and love D. the popularity wave in the society 35. What does the author think of advertisements? A. Convincing. B. Instructive. C. Influential. D. Authoritative.参考答案 32-35 ABDC2016高考训练题-阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.AVOID BIG EVENTSBig sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room.

But its wonders sounded so incredible that they were forever burned in his memory. From that moment, he never stopped searching for clues which might lead him to the island. He read hundreds of adventure books, histories, volumes of physics and chemistry, even music.Over time, he pieced together his idea of what the Island of Inventions was like. It was a secret place, where all the great wise men of the world would meet to learn and invent together. Access to the island was totally restricted. To join, you had to have created some great invention for humanity. Only then could you receive the special invitation which came with directions to the island.So Luca spent his youth studying and inventing. Every new idea he got, he made it into an invention, and if there were something he didnt understand, hed seek others to help him. Soon he met other young inventors and he told them about the Island of Inventions. They too dreamed of one day receiving an invitation letter. As years passed, the disappointment of not receiving their invitation made Luca and his friends work harder and co-operate more. They would meet in Lucas house, share their ideas and build new machines. Their inventions became known throughout the world, and improved the lives of millions. But still, no invitation came.They didnt lose heart. They continued learning and inventing every day, trying to come up with more and better ideas. Fresh young talent joined their group, as more inventors dreamed of getting to the island.

Luca started telling the man of the wonderful Island of Inventions, and of how he was sure that some day they would receive an invitation. Surprised, the young inventor interrupted: “You mean this place isnt the Island of Inventions? Isnt the letter you sent me the real invitation?” It was only then that Luca realised that his dream had become true in his very own house. No island could exist which would be better than where he was now. No place of invention would be better than what he and his friends had created. Luca felt happy to know that he had always been on the island, and that his life of invention and study had been a truly happy one.13.
