福建大田县2017高考英语一轮阅读理解选习题（2016高考训练）阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。体裁：说明文话题：异国风情词数：660时间：7When you think of Victorian style homes, you probably imagine it as a Queen Anne home, complete with wonderful trim(饰物)painted in a contrasting color and stained glass windows.Victorian homes were built to leave a deep impression on others, and they are still impressive today.If you have a chance to visit one Victorian style home, you will find the following typical characteristics in the place you are visiting：Narrow and TallMost Victorian houses are narrow, which allows these impressive beauties to be built on a small amount of land.They are often close to other Victorian homes, usually near the center of town.What these houses lack in width they make up for in height; a typical Victorian house is three stories tall and on a fullsize basement.StairsBecause the Victorian is built to impress, intricate(错综复杂的)or grand entrances are usually constructed.These stairways usually lead to wraparound front porches decorated with turned wood or wrought iron railings.Towers and Turrets (塔楼)These unique rooms could be studies, bedrooms or libraries.They give Victorian homes a castle feel and recall the Gothic mansions that inspired early Victorian designs.Because these houses are often three or even four stories tall, these turrets can be quite impressive.Decorative TrimAlthough the trim is produced on a large scale, there are several different styles and designs.Everything from Italianate egganddart molding to carved Gothic Revival fascia can be found on a Victorian home.It is not at all unusual to find Queen Anne, Gothic and Italianate elements all on the same house, as the goal is to create something unique and unusual.According to Victorian design rules, the trim should have painted a distinctly different color than the siding for emphasis.In most cases in the 18th century in the UK, three to five different colors of paint were used: one of these colors was used for the house, and the rest of the colors were used for the trim.Bay WindowsLarge windows, which are sometimes filled with stained glass or topped with stained glass panels, are also special features in Victorian houses.These bays can either be walkout versions or have a builtin bench.Asymmetrical (不对称的) House DesignVictorian era architects loved the challenge of varied roof lines and asymmetrical designs.The houses are made to be individual and unique.Even if the basic design of a group of houses is the same, you can expect to find unique window styles and architectural details that give each house its own personality.ExtrasClassic Victorian homes have wraparound porches with beautiful trim and tiny balconies or crows nests on the upper floors.Some of these porches, balconies and crows nests are functional, but some are just for show.Nothing is wasted too much for a Victorian home.Finding Victorian HomesWhere can you find Victorian style homes? You can find at least one of two Victorian style homes in most urban areas, but some cities have more than others.The Old West End, a famous neighborhood in Toledo, Ohio, has the most Victorian style homes in the United States.San Francisco is also known for its beautiful, restored Victorian homes.Savannah, Georgia is a lovely city to visit and explore, as its many Victorian homes are located on charming squares with interesting gardens and sculptures, making it a fabulous place to visit.If you explore these cities, you will find Victorian bed and breakfasts that are perfect for an elegant stay.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要向我们介绍了维多利亚风格的房子的一些特点。1The purpose of this passage is to introduce _Acharacteristics of Victorian style homesBsome attractions in Victorian style homesCspecial functions of Victorian style homesDdifferent decorations in Victorian style homes答案A考查写作意图。从第一段的“If you have a chance.you will find the following typical characteristics in the place you are visiting”可知，本文的写作目的主要是介绍维多利亚风格的房子的特点。所以答案选A项。2The following characteristics can be found in a Victorian style home EXCEPT _Athe houses are always tall and narrowBthe houses are typically built with five storiesCthe windows of different houses are quite uniqueDthe roofs always appear so different from each other答案B考查细节理解。从第二段的“a typical Victorian house is three stories tall”可知，维多利亚风格的房子一般是三层楼高，故B项表述错误。3“Queen Anne” mentioned in the passage refers to _Afurniture popular in the 18th centuryBan architecture style popular in the UKCbasic building materials for housesDa famous figure in Victorian style homes答案B考查推理判断。从第一段的“a Queen Anne home”和第五段的“It is not at all unusual to find Queen Anne，Gothic and Italianate elements all on the same house”可知，Queen Anne指的是一种非常受欢迎的建筑风格，所以答案选B项。4The fifth paragraph mainly talks about _Adifferent styles of Victorian homesBthe same elements in Victorian homesCthe paints used in Victorian homesDthe design of the trim in Victorian homes答案D考查段落大意。第五段主要介绍的是维多利亚风格的房子装饰物的特点，包括形状、颜色等。所以答案选D项。5Where can people see the most Victorian style homes nowadays?AIn San Francisco.

Or they may be sitting in a car outside it, causally tapping away at a laptop. They look like innocent passers-by. In fact, they are stealing your corporate secrets.Drive-by hacking is the trendy term given to the practice of breaking into wireless computer networks from outside the buildings that house them. A recent study in the UK, sponsored by RSA Data Security, found that two-thirds of organizations with wireless networks were risking their data in this way. Security experts patrolled (巡逻) several streets in the City of London seeking evidence of wireless networks in operation.Of 124 that they identified, 83 were sending data without encrypting（加密） them. Such data could readily be picked up by a passer-by armed only with a portable computer, a wireless modem and a few pieces of software that can be freely down-loaded from the Internet.The data could include sensitive company documents containing valuable information. Or they could be e-mail identities and passwords that could be used by hackers to log into corporate networks as if they were legal users.Most companies using wireless networking technology do not take even the simplest of precautions to protect their data. Nearly all wireless network technology comes with some basic security features that need only to be activated in order to give a minimum level of security, for example, by encrypting the data being passed over the network.Raymon Kruck, business development manager at Check Point Software, a security technology specialist, believes this could be partly a psychological problem. People see the solid walls of their building as safeguards and forget that wireless networks can extend up to 200 meters beyond physical walls.Companies without any security at all on their wireless networks make it ridiculously easy for hackers to break in. Switching on the security that comes with the network technology should be automatic. Then there are other basic steps a company can take, says Mr. Kruck, such as changing the passwords on the network from the default (默认) setting.Companies can also install firewalls, which form a barrier between the internal network and the public Internet. They should also check their computer records regularly to spot any abnormal activity, which might betray the presence of a hacker.16. According to the study sponsored by RSA Data Security, two thirds of the subjects _.A.had their corporate data stolenB.depended on wireless computer networksC.were exposed to drive-by hackingD.were unaware of the risk of wireless hacking17.Which of the following is not considered in the study?A.The number of wireless hacking incidents.B.The number of wireless computer networks.C.The way in which data are sent and received.D.The way in which data are hacked and stolen.18.Most wireless network technology comprises _.A.data encryption programsB. password security programsC.illegal-user detectionD. virus-intrusion detection19.Raymond Kruck most probably agrees that wireless network security involves _.A. wireless signal administrationB.changes in users awarenessC.users psychological healthD.stronger physical walls20.Without firewalls, companies using wireless networks _.A.cannot operate normallyB.should turn to passwordsC.will be easily attacked by hackersD.can still spot the activities of hackers【参考答案】1620、CAABD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。As students and teachers returned to school on Monday after the publication of performance ratings(等级) for 18,000 teachers, many parents said they were giving the reports serious thought. Yet there was an equal measure of skepticism among parents that test scores have any relationship with teachers competence.Some said they already knew how good a teacher was by walking into the classroom or by monitoring their childrens progress. “Im the kind of person who likes to see for themselves,” a father in Queens said.Others worried about how their fellow parents, perhaps ones with sharper elbows, might respond. Will they demand a new teacher? Move their children to a new school?Elizabeth Sane, the mother of a fourth grader at the Ella Baker School, a kindergarten-through-eighth-grade school on the Upper East Side, said that her daughter was switched to a different teachers class over the summer, and that it was “like adding salt to the wound” when she saw the high ratings for her daughters previous teacher. Her daughters teacher this year did not receive a rating because he previously taught high schoolMs. Sane said that the rating was not the only factor that influenced how she assessed a teachers performance, but that the data used for teacher evaluations mattered.But other parents dropping their children off at the Ella Baker School said they did not trust teacher ratings based on test scores any more than they wanted their childrens learning measured only by the state exams.“Some people take it as the final word, but it doesnt change who they are as teachers. The ratings arent accurate, and the whole student testing thing needs to be thrown out,” said Lydia Delgado, whose child is in the second grade.41. Paragraph 1 tells us that A. All the teachers received a rating given by the students.B. All the teachers will receive a rating
