余姚市（浙江）2017高考英语一轮阅读理解选编（五）阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。 (2014吉安模拟) Clothes can make phone calls, play music, dial your pals number, keep you warm during cold weather and operate your computer. This is not a fantasy. A British company, called Electrotextiles, has created a wide range of clothesclothes that have minds of their own! Scientists, working for the company, have invented a kind of fabric that can be blended(混合)with flexible electronic materials to create intelligent clothing. The result is electronic garments. If you think the wearer has to be wired to different devices, think again. These designer clothes are wire-free, soft to touch and washable! Like any electronic device, these high-tech clothes have to be powered. Currently, a tiny nine-volt battery serves the purpose. But the researchers hope that in the near future the clothes will generate electricity by using body heat. These clothes are 100 percent shock proof, they say. The Electrotextiles team has also created the worlds first cloth keyboard. This keyboard can be sewn into your trousers or skirt. To use this device, you will have to sit down and tap on your lap! These“lap-tap”gadgets(器具)are all set to take over laptop computers! Another useful garment is the shirt-cum-mobile phone. This handy invention enables drivers to chat comfortably with others at the wheel! Other popular electronic wear includes the denim(牛仔布)jacket with flexible earphones sewn into the hood(风帽)and the electronic ski jacket with a built-in heater. The ski jacket is also programmed to send signals to a satellite. This technology is known as global positioning system and can be used to track lost skiers and wandering kids. Having completed the cloth keyboard, scientists have already started to work on a new projecta necktie that can be used as a computer mouse. What is the next? Do you have any idea? 【文章大意】本文是一篇科技说明文。主要介绍了一些高科技的布料、衣服等, 这些新发明有各种各样的功能, 比如打电话、听歌。1. The electronic garments are similar to other electronic devices in that.

Its main objective is to find evidence that a past environment could have been well suited to supporting microbial (微生物的) life. Today, a team of mission researchers, writing in a series of papers published in the journal Science, said that they found evidence of what was once an ancient freshwater lake on Mars, which might have been capable of supporting life. The researchers studied a set of sedimentary rocks (沉积岩) that were found in an area on the floor of Gale Crater (盖尔陨石坑) called Yellowknife Bay. These sedimentary rocks, probably formed from ancient Martian mud, have suggested to researchers that there was at least one lake that welled up with drinkable water inside Gale Crater some 3.6 million years ago, and that the lake could have lasted for tens or even hundreds of thousands of years. “Shortly after landing, we found evidence that liquid water had flowed across the surface long before in Gale Crater,” said Jim Bell, from Arizona State University. “These new results show that in addition to surface water, there was likely an active groundwater system in Gale Crater that significantly weathered ancient rocks and minerals.” According to the team, a lake with these conditions could provide an ideal environment for simple microbial life. The researchers think that a lake like this could have provided perfect conditions for simple microbial life, which is rock-eating microbes that live on and obtain their energy from minerals. The researchers pointed out that they would continue to use the Mars Science Laboratory to continue exploring Gale Crater for even more evidence of ancient lakes or other environments. 41. Curiosity Rover was sent to Mars because scientists wanted to find _. A. rocksB. lakes C. fresh waterD. signs of ancient life42. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to Paragraph 3? A. There was at least one lake inside Gale Crater. B. The sedimentary rocks were found in Gale Crater. C. The sedimentary rocks were probably made up of mud. D. The lake inside Gale Crater could have lasted for ten years.43. According to Jim Bell, on Mars there was probably _. A. evidence of life B. evidence of sea C. a groundwater system D. evidence of mountains44. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _. A. the evidence of ancient lakes was not enough B. the Mars Science Laboratory has found water C. the evidence of supporting life was not doubted D. the Mars Science Laboratory has only one scientist45. Which part of a website is the text probably taken from? A. Culture. B. Science. C. Travel. D. Entertainment.【参考答案】41-45 DDCAB美国宇航局的科学家称，他们在“好奇号”传回的火星照片上发现，在一个名叫黄刀湾的盖尔陨石坑有许多已经聚合成砾岩的碎石。“好奇号”在该区域检测到了越来越多的水分子信号。41. D。细节理解题。根据第一段的Its main objective is to find evidence.可知答案。42.

The earliest evidence for humancat interaction dates back to prehistoric Cyprus（史前塞浦路斯）, where the remains of a wild cat and a human dated 9,500 years old were found buried together. A new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has confirmed the first direct evidence of a humandomestic cat relationship among Chinese farmers 5,300 years ago. Researchers studied the bones of cats, dogs, deer and other animals unearthed in an excavation (挖掘) near a village in Central China. By using some ways, scientists showed that the cats were living on a mostly millet(黍)based diet, just like the domesticated dogs and pigs from the site. The most reasonable explanation for a high consumption of milletbased food is that the cats had formed a stable and mutual relationship with humans and could easily feed on rodents (啮齿动物) around human villages, find leftover food or even have been fed by people intentionally, said Hu Yaowu from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, whose research focuses on the relationship between humans and domesticated animals.It is very interesting for us to find the consumption of millet-based foods by the cats, since this kind of evidence had long been missing.” Hu explains. Since cats usually eat meat, such a diet would be unexpected, unless the cats were being fed by people, the study argues. The researchers also found that one of the cats survived to reach old age, implying that it had a safe place to live and enough to eat. Why the farmers wanted to keep cats nearby or make them pets could be answered by other evidence. Chinese archaeologists found some storage containers were specifically designed to keep out rodents a vermin (害兽) that cats could certainly have helped with. The simplified theory is that rats were attracted to the food of farmers, and so were harmful to farmers. Cats were attracted to the rats, and so farmers formed a mutually beneficial relationship with cats, taking care of them in return for pest control.【小题1】The evidence found in the remains dating back to prehistoric Cyprus means . A. human made cats pets as early as 9,500 years agoB. human interacted with cats very earlyC. cats didnt appear until prehistoric Cyprus D. when cats became domesticated 【小题2】Apart from cats, Hu Yaowu and his teams may also study .A. the preventions of pests from grains B. the history of Chinese farmingC. the dogs and pigs D. the ways to keep pets【小题3】Which of the following is NOT the evidence of Chinese farms keeping cats? A. Cats didnt feed on meat. B. The cats consumed large amounts of milletbased foods. C. One of the cats survived to reach old age. D. Some storage containers were specifically designed to keep out rodents.【小题4】What are the reasons for farmers to keep cats? A. Helping keep other domesticated animals. B. Not letting cats eat food.C. Supplying meat for human. D. Helping reduce the amount of pests. 【小题5】In which part of a newspaper would be the passage most probably appear .A. Entertainment B. EnvironmentC. Human and Science D.

The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a plough and a wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years. The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was th
