潞城市（山西）2017高考英语一轮阅读理解编练（三）【2016模拟题】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。 Scientists recently found three animal species living two miles below the surface of the Mediterranean Sea, where the super-salty waters dont have oxygen(氧). Theyre multicellular(多细胞的), which means their bodies have many cells. They each are as small as a large grain of sand. But they are animals.The most exciting thing about these creatures, say the scientists, is that they obviously dont need oxygen to live. What biologists know about life so far is that only single-celled living things can live in places that have no oxygen, and that multicellular organisms(有机物) can visit these places, but not live there. These newly found creatures could change that idea.Finding animals down there was so surprising that the scientists couldnt believe it. At first, “we thought they were dead bodies,” Roberto Danovaro, a scientist at the Polytechnic University of Marche in Ancona, Italy, told Science News. To find out whether the animals could actually live there Danovaro and his colleagues brought up more samples(样本) from the ocean floor. Studying the animals in the new samples showed that they appeared to be alive.The researchers did more tests, and found that some of the animals had eggswhich suggests they were reproducing(繁殖). Also in the samples were old skins, suggesting that the animals had lived there long enough to grow. Finally, pictures taken showed that the insides of the animals appear to be adapted to live in an environment that has no oxygen.These clues suggest the animals dont need oxygen, but the evidence(证据) is indirect, which means that scientists still have not observed how the animals live without oxygen. This means more studies are needed, but the scientists think theyre on the right track. And if theyre right, biologists will need to rethink what they know about where animals live.1、 What excited the scientists most is that_.A.they found three animal species visit the salty water under the Mediterranean SeaB.single-celled animals can live in super-salty watersC.the tiny animals have many cellsD.three kinds of animals can live in places that have no oxygen2、 The underlined phrase in Paragraph 2 means the scientists could think _.A.only single-celled creatures dont need oxygen to liveB.multicellular animals can visit the super-salty watersC.the newly found creatures cant live in the super-salty watersD.multicellular animals also can live without oxygen besides single-celled ones3、 Which of the following CANT be used to prove the newly found creatures can live in super-salty waters?A.Their dead bodies are found there.B.Some in the samples have eggs.C.Some old skins are found in the samples.D.The pictures of their insides have been taken.4、 More studies are needed to prove_.A.where single-celled animals can liveB.how the newly found animals live without oxygenC.whether the multicellular creatures can live underwater D.why the super-salty waters have no oxygen 文章介绍了科学家在深海没有氧气的水中发现了三种多细胞的动物，并为他们是否能真正的在如此的环境中生存进行了大量的试验。 1.D。细节理解题。根据第一段和第二段可知科学家在深海中发现了三种生物，最让他们兴奋的是这三种多细胞动物竟然是生活在没有氧气的水中。 2.D。句意理解题。第二段中说到科学家们认为只有单细胞的动物才可以在没有氧气的水中生存。多细胞动物只能到达这样的环境却不能在这样的环境中生存。所以这样的发现可能改变科学家们原来的观点。 3.A。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的内容可知：在所取得的样本中发现了有的动物有卵；也发现了他们退去的陈旧的皮肤；他们体内的照片也发现他们适应了没有氧气的环境。所有这些都间接地证明了这些 动物是不需要氧气的。 4.B。细节理解题。根据最后一段的第一句目前的证据都是间接的，要想证明这些动物是如何在没有氧气的情况下生存还需要进一步的试验。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和D）中，选出最佳选项。Scientists fear rising energy bills may lead to an increase in obesity （肥胖） after discovering a link between poorly-heated homes and higher body -fatResearchers from the University of Stirlings Behavioural Science Centre set out to explore claims that warm indoor temperatures have contributed to rising obesity levels in winterInstead, the team found that people who live in well-heated homes are more likely to have low body mass index （体重指数） levels while those who keep their heating turned down or off tend to be heavierDr Michael Daly, behavioral scientist and senior lecturer, said: We set out to investigate the scientific claims that cooler indoor temperatures help us maintain a healthy weight by pushing our bodies to use up more energy. In fact, the research suggests people may eat less and burn more energy when in a warmer indoor environmentThe 13-year study, published in the journal Obesity, involved more than 100,000 adults across EnglandResearchers found reduced weight levels among people living in homes heated to above 23C（73F）, which involved about 15,000 of the households studiedDr Daly said: As national gas bills continue to rise faster than the rate of inflation, this research suggests the obesity could worsen where heating is turned down below comfortable levels or off for long periods to cut costsThis is not just about people who live in well-heated homes being in the financial position to afford more expensive low-calorie foods, exercise classes and sporting activities, and therefore finding it easier to maintain a low BMI levelThe study took age, sex, social class and other factors into accountThe comfortable temperature of 20C -23C is where we feel comfortable in our clothes and are neither hot nor coldAt temperatures above this, we use more energy and we eat less because our appetite is affected1. The findings of the research can be described as _Ahorrible Bsurprising Cfunny Dencouraging2.According to the passage, with rising gas bills, people may turn down or off their heating to_.Astay in shape Bmaintain a low BMI levelCsave money Davoid eating more3. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?AObesity links to poorly-heated homesBWell-heated homes contribute to obesityCObesity- A weighty problem in EnglandDRising energy bills help maintain a healthy weight参考答案13、BCA 【2014高考英语湖北省八校联考】阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Many skilled young people are being forced into part-time and unskilled work, the report says. It warns of a crisis with more than six million people so disillusioned they have given up looking for work. The ILO（International Labor Organization）wants governments to make job creation a priority. It wants more training schemes, and also tax breaks for employers. The youth unemployment crisis can be beaten but only if job creation for young people becomes a key priority in policymaking and private sector investment picks up significantly, said Jose Manuel Salazar-Xirinachs, executive director of the ILOs employment sector.Since 2007, the number of young people without jobs has risen by four million - up from less than 12%, the Global Employment Trends for Youth Report says. Almost 13% of people aged between 15 and 24 - or almost 75 million - have no work, although this is slightly down on its peak in 2009.In the European Union, one in five young people are looking for work, the report claims. Some 27.9% of youths were unemployed in North Africa last year a rise of five percentage points on 2010. In the Middle East, the figure stood at 26.5% in the reports regional breakdown. Even in East Asia, perhaps the most economically active region, the unemployment rate was 2.8 times higher for young people than for adults, the report said.But, the ILO report reveals, the true picture of youth unemployment is even more pessimistic. Many young people are extending their time in higher education because they cannot find jobs. Others are taking part-time unskilled work because they cannot find work in the fields they trained for. The ILO says that more than six million young people worldwide have given up looking for work and are becomingly increasingly detached from society. By not using their skills they are losing them, the report says, and if there is no improvement in the jobs market soon, they may be not only unemployed, but unemployable.The ILO suggests offering tax breaks to businesses hiring young people and offering more programmes to help kick-start careers.63. Which of the following is true according to Jose Manuel Salazar-Xirinachs?A. Since 2007, the number of young people out of job has risen to 4 million.B. Nearly 13% of the young people have no work.C. Job creation should be made a key priority in policymaking.D. The youth unemployment rate can never go down.64. The various figures in paragraph 3 and 4 were used to show_.A. The employment situation is serious only in the European UnionB. The global youth employment situation is depressingC. East Asia enjoys a high youth employment rateD. Compared with the situation in 2009, the youth employment in 2007 is slightly better65. According to ILO, the following are caused by high youth unemployment rate except_.A. The government calls on young people to take up whatever job is availableB. Many young people are making their time in higher education longerC. Some young people are taking part-time unskilled workD. Many young people have given up looking for work66. The ILO offered many solutions to the crisis of youth unemployment, including_.a. making job creations a priority b. more training schemes c. encouraging public investment d. tax breaks for employers e. offering more entrepreneurship programmes to help start careersA. a b c e B. b c d e C. a c d e D. a b d e【参考答案】63-66CBAD 2014高考英语湖北省八校联考】阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。The issue of privacy versus openness is a paradox, particularly when it comes to the American home. “Lots” or “yards” (gardens) can be large and many are not enclosed by the walls, fences or hedges so popular in other cultures. Similarly, “window treatments” frame the window. but the use of European-style net curtains to screen out nosy neighbors is rare. In the same style, first-time visitors to an American home may be proudly given the full tour; even walk-in closets and en suite bathrooms are not considered off-limits. They may also be encouraged to help themselves to a soda from the fridge. All this gives an impression of openness. Yet Americans do value their personal space and privacy. A Brazilian expatriate (侨民) who dropped in on her usually friendly Connecticut neighbors unannounced got the clear impression she should have called first. Similarly while a typical suburban home features large, shared areas, such as an open-plan kitchen and family room or “den”, ample private space is also allowed in the floor plan. A visit to a family home in the evening would likely find the family members dispersed, each independently watching TV, on the phone, surfing the Internet, or otherwise recharging batteries in the privacy of their own bedroom. American individualism, expansiveness, and abundance are expressed in lifestyle. Despite the fact that the average household size has declined over the past thirty years from3.1 people to 2.6 people per household, the average size of a new family home increased during the same period from 1,500 to 2,200 square feet. A common observation is just how outsized everything is. The beds are king-sized, the TVs have giant screens, the burgers are “whoppers (庞然大物),” appliances are “industrial” size. The largest popcorn or soda at the movies can be “supersized.” Closets are “walk in,” and some cars are the size of a military vehicle.67. The passage suggests that Americans_.A. are rich enough to afford large size houses and luxurious electricity appliancesB. are very shy when talking about keeping their privacy and their personal spaceC. would like to express their lifestyles in public to show them offD. enjoy openness as well as individualism although they seem to contradict each other68.Why can we say that American individualism, expansiveness, and abundance are expressed in their lifestyle?A. Because the average size of a new house has increased during the past thirty years.B. Because Americans often use European-style net curtains to screen out nosy neighbors.C. Because many houses are equipped with walk-in closets.D. Because the house size, outsized household furniture and independent living habits have proved it.69. The underlined phrase in the passage means_.A. filling a battery with electrical power B. recovering your strength and energy by resting for a whileC. changing your batteries againD. obtaining new batteries because old ones are running out70. According to the passage, if you drop in on an American family which is usually friendly to you in the evening, you_.A. will be deeply impressed by their family get-together sceneB. will be invited to a party which is well-preparedC. will find family members scattered, and enjoying themselves individuallyD. will be warmly welcomed even if they dont get informed of your visit earlier【参考答案】67-70DDBC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。 Grandma celebrated her fifty-third birthday just weeks before grandpa died of cancer in 1965. Although his passing was very difficult for her, I think their shared struggle to make his life longer taught grandma that good health was not to be taken forgranted, and she made up her mind to live the rest of her own life as fully and as long as she could. One day, when she announced to attend lessons at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Portland, Oregon, where she lived, we rolled our eyes in embarrassment and helplessly wished she would just stay home and bake cookies as normal grandmothers did. Many years filled with countless dance lessons passed before we learned to appreciate the wonder of having a dancing grandma. I suppose grandmas primary motivation for wanting to learn to dance was social. She had been a shy girl, always very tall and heavy, and had married into grandpas quiet lifestyle before developing any elegance or confidence in her personal appearance. Dancing, on the other hand, filled her life with flash lights, wonderful parties, beautiful dresses, handsome young dance instructors, and the challenge of learning. Although the weekly dance lessons did not change her ample, two-hundred-pound figure, grandma surprised everyone with energetic performances on the dance floor, which soon gave her as much elegance and confidence as any Miss American competitor. Having taken weekly dance lessons for years, my grandma learned various dances easily and was soon participating in dancing matches all over the Northwest. When I was fourteen, grandma proudly invited me to watch her compete in one
