广西大新县2017高考英语阅读理解一轮精编阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。Kingda Ka, the tallest roller coaster （过山车） on Earth, drops its passengers a life-flashing 418 feet. Ferrari Worlds Formula Rossa, the fastest, takes riders breath away at speeds of up to150 mph. BRC Imagination Arts, a Southern California design firm, has proposed something entirely new: a ride that creates the sensation of zero gravity for up to eight seconds at a time.BRC drew its concept from the Vomit Comet, the plane NASA uses to train astronauts. Its proposed theme-park ride would travel up and then back, similar to the existing Superman: Escape from Krypton coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in California. But unlike Superman and other open-car coasters, the vomit-comet ride would be fully enclosed. Riders would enjoy the illusion of floating within a stable chamber.To create that illusion, a special motor system would speed coasters up the track with great precision（精确度）. As the coaster approached a top speed of more than 100 mph, it would suddenly and ever so slightly slow downjust enough to throw the passengers up from their seats and then quickly adjust its speed to fly in formation with and around the passengers. As the coaster reached the top of the track and began to drop back down, the computer system would continue to match its speed to that of the falling passengers, extending the sensation of weightlessness for several additional seconds, and finally rapidly slow down to a stop back at the base station.Roller coasters typically cost no more than $30 million, but the zero-gravity ride would cost $50 million or more, to a large extent because the precision-response propulsion system（推进系统） is so complex. But if someone were to write a check today, Rogers says, his company could be sending riders on weightless journeys by the end of 2014.1. What makes BRCs coaster different?A. Its the tallest roller coaster in the States.B. Its the fastest roller coaster on Earth.C. It can bring a sensation of zero gravity to its riders.D. It is a NASA product.2. Why would people in BRCs coaster have an illusion of floating in the chamber?A. Because its designed with the inspiration of Superman.B. Because a special functioning motor system is applied to it.C. Because the coaster can approach a top speed of more than 100 mph.D. Because the coaster would cost $20 million more than normal ones.3. At what point could a rider begin to feel weightless?A. When the coaster reduced its speed immediately after it reached its top speed.B. When the coaster began to increase its speed.C. When the coaster reduced its speed to a stop back at the base station.D. When the coaster reached the top of the track.4. What can we infer from the passage?A. BRC is a famous design firm.B. You feel like a superman when riding BRC coaster.C. BRCs budget cant make the project complete until 2014.D. Kingda Ka and Ferrari Worlds Formula Rossa will close down soon.【参考答案】14、CBAC阅读理解。The US government has started a website, Admongo, to help children think critically（批判性地） about the advertising aimed at them. It claims to provide visitors with an “aducation” through games and other entertainment.A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo. Call me Haiz, he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it. Spacey dance music plays in the background as Haiz tells visitors that they need to learn about advertising.Its inventors say eight to twelve years old is the age kids develop their critical thinking abilities. Kids that age are also a big market for advertisers.The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things: To identify the advertiser. To know what the advertiser is really saying. And to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do.Children learn these things through a video game. They create their own game character. They can choose different skin colors, hair styles, eye and mouth shapes. Then they begin a trip through ad-land, where there are ads on buses and billboards. The players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level.The Admongo game takes players inside a home, to the advertising studio and everywhere else ads can be found. It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing. One such area is food marketing. The Federal Trade Commission(FTC) says it is a big business. The FTC estimates that food, drink and fast-food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion dollars on advertising to young people in 2009.The FTC says children are important for three reasons. They buy products. They influence parents and caregivers to buy. And they are the future adult buyers of the products.A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value. First Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for children.【文章大意】可知本文讲述的是美国政府建立的一个网站，为了教育孩子们理解广告的真正内涵。 36. What is the best title of the text?A.

Cutting carbon dioxide emissions could save millions of lives, mostly by reducing preventable deaths from heart and lung diseases, according to studies released Wednesday and published in a special issue of The Lancet, a British medical journal.Relying on fossil fuels leads to unhealthy lifestyles, increasing our chances of getting sick and in some cases takes years from our lives, US Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a telecast briefing from her home state of Kansas. As greenhouse gas emissions go down, so do deaths from cardiovascular（心血管） and respiratory（呼吸道） diseases. This is not a small effect.Instead of looking at the health ills caused by future global warming, as past studies have done, this research looks at the immediate benefits of doing something about the problem, said Linda Birnbaum, director of the US National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.Some possible benefits seemed highly speculative, the researchers conceded, based on people driving less and walking and cycling more. Other proposals studied were more concrete and achievable, such as reducing cook stoves that burn dung（粪便）, charcoal and other polluting fuels in the developing world.And cutting carbon dioxide emissions also makes the air cleaner, reducing lung damage for millions of people, doctors said.Here are ways you can attack major health problems at the same time as dealing with climate change, said lead author Dr. Paul Wilkinson, an environmental epidemiologist at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.Wilkinson said the individual studies came up with numbers of premature deaths prevented or extra years of life added for certain places.For example, switching to low-polluting cars in London and Delhi, India, would save 160 lost years of life in London and nearly 1,700 in Delhi for every million residents, one study found. But if people also drove less and walked or biked more, those extra saved years would soar to more than 7,300 years in London and 12,500 years in Delhi because of less heart disease.【文章大意】本文叙述了最新研究表明，减少温室气体排放不仅能改善地球环境，还可以改善人们的健康。 41. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. How can people live longer?B. Cutting carbon dioxide emissions saves lives. C. Global warming threatens peoples lives.D. People should stop relying on fossil fuels.【答案】B【 解析】主旨大意题。根据Cutting carbon dioxide emissions could save millions of lives可知减少二氧化碳的排放可以拯救数百万人的生命，故选B。42. The new research differs from past studies in that _. A. it focuses on the immediate benefits of cutting carbon dioxide emissions B. it studies the bad effects arising from future global warming C. it is believed by more people D. it mainly targets at developing countries【答案】A【 解析】细节理解题。根据Instead of looking at the health ills caused by future global warming, as past studies have done, this research looks at the immediate benefits of doing something about the problem,现在的研究和以往一些关注未来全球变暖所导致的疾病的研究不同，该研究主要着眼于解决此问题所带来的立竿见影的益处。故选A。43. According to Kathleen Sebelius, _. A. sometimes it takes years to see the bad effects c
