岳阳市君山区2017高考英语阅读理解暑假训练【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。With his unique black mane (鬃毛)and impressive stature(身材), 13-year-old Cecil was a popular tourist attraction at the 3.6 million-square-acre Hwange National Park(万基国家公园) in Zimbabwe (津巴布韦).Cecil was head of a pride of lions that includes 12 cubs(幼崽), but the well-known lion was shot and killed in early July by American dentist Walter J. Palmer. Cecils death has already sparked an international outcry (强烈抗议) with many calling for an end to hunting endangered animals and for Palmer to be extradited(引渡) to Zimbabwe to stand trial.Professor David Macdonald, the head of the Oxford University research program that monitored the daily movements of Cecil and dozens of other lions, is deeply saddened by Cecils death. Macdonald hopes the death can inspire the public to take an interest in lion conservation.Macdonald says many of the lions tracked by the program have been shot and killed. “The background to this story is that there is a crisis for lions throughout much of Africa.” He says.African lion populations have fallen almost 60 percent over the past thirty decades, and as few as 32,000 of them remain in the wild, according to the International Fund for Animal Welfare(国际爱护动物基金会).“And as troubling as it is, the rarer these hunted animals become, the more hunter s are willing to pay to kill them,” said Jeff Flockedn, the funds North American regional director.In addition to excessive hunting, lions throughout Africa also continue to face threats that include conflicts with local farmers, loss of habitat and risk of traffic and railway collisions(碰撞).1. Internationally, peoples attitude towards Walter J. Palmers behavior is _.A. Understandable B. Unpardonable C. Unpredictable D. Uncontrollable2. According to the text, how many African lions lived in the wild thirty years ago?A. 80,000 B. 48,000 C. 53,000 D. 60,0003. African lions are facing the following threats except _.A. their conflicts with local farmers.B. the loss of their habitatsC. peoples excessive huntingD. the increase in the number of their natural enemies4. The best title of the text might be _.A. The Death of Cecil-an African LionAB. The Current state of All African LionsC. The Threats Facing African LionsD. The Appeal for an End to Hunting Endangered Animals【参考答案】1. B. 推理判断题。根据文章第三段的内容可知，从国际上来看，人们对于Walter J. Palmer射杀了狮子Cecil的做法很是愤怒。即人们认为他的做法是不可饶恕的。故正确答案应为B项。2. A. 数字计算题。根据第六段中的信息“African lion populations have fallen almost 60 percent over the past thirty decades,”，可知，在刚刚过去的30年里，非洲狮的数量减少了60%，现在仅有32,000头非洲狮生活在野外，由此可以推断，三十年前生活在野外的非洲狮的数量为：32,000 / (1-0.6)= 80,000。故正确答案为A项。3. D. 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段内容可知，答案应为D项。即文中没有提到非洲狮面临的威胁中没有提到非洲狮天敌数量的增加。4. A. 标题判断题。全文主要介绍了美国牙医华特帕尔默(Walter Palmer)7月底在津巴布韦射杀了狮子塞西尔，当时引起了全世界的愤怒， 同时介绍了目前非洲狮的生活状况。所以，A项作为标题最佳。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。Take Action for a Better World: Volunteers NeededSix months preparation in Denmark: Africa studies, team work combined with social work with risk group teenagers.Six months community work in Malawi inPeople to People Projects: Child Aid, HIV/AIDS Fights and Teacher Training.Qualifications (条件)：18 years, hard-working and social engagement.Please contact us by email:Part-time Work with Exchange StudentsYOUTH International is a non-profit high school foreign exchange student organization.

Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesnt matter if the words come from someone elses or ourselves - the positive and negative effects are just as lasting. We all talk to ourselves sometimes. Were usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldnt be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh（刻薄的）and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem（自尊）and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.1. The main idea of the first paragraph is that _.A. words have a lasting effect on us B. not sticks and stones but words will hurt usC. inspiring words give us confidence D. negative words may let us down答案解析：答案为A。本题考查段落大意。段落大意一般通过段落的topic sentence来体现，第一段的最后一句话 “the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.” 即为该段的 topic sentence, 故A选项正确.。2. There is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _.A. it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are aloneB. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselvesC. we can benefit from talking to ourselvesD. talking to ourselves always gives us courage答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。由第三段 “This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves.”可知，虽然77%的自言自语是消极的，但是自言自语可以激发我们，帮助我们记住事情、解决问题和使我们保持镇定。为了保持积极，我们对自己应该只讲鼓励的话语。由此可推断，自言自语让我们收益。故C选项正确，A选项错误。B选项只是一种现象，不是原因，D选项显得绝对，故均不选。3The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also occasionally _.A. give ourselves amusement B. praise ourselves C. remind ourselves D. make ourselves relaxed答案解析：答案为B。本题为句意推断题。结合划线部分的下文 “The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying Good job!” 可知，当我们完成了任务，考试考得好，或者打扫完房间后，要对自己说“干得好！”，故可推断划线部分应该意为表扬我们自己。4The author would probably hold the view that _.A. it is better to think twice before talking to others B. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offersC. negative words may stimulate us to make more progressD. people tend to remember friendly words答案解析：答案为A。由倒数第二段 “Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid.” 可知，作者认为在我们讲话前要想一想所讲的话受人喜欢吗？受人需要吗？如果不是这样，就最好不要讲。再结合最后一段，话语有着积极和消极的力量，因此我们讲话一定要小心。故答案为A，最好三思而后言。时闻型阅读理解- (二)Scientists have not found any signs of life on Mars yet, but they say a robotic vehicle called “Curiosity” is helping them learn a lot about the planets history and climate.Curiosity landed on Mars in August 2012 after travelling through space for more than eight months. It was sent to Mars by scientists from NASA in the United States.Curiosity is about the size of a car and has six wheels. It also has a robotic arm, cameras, and instruments that allow it to examine things it finds on the surface. Then it sends the information back to the earth.The Curiositys main task is to find out if anything could live on Mars, either now or in the past. On Nov. 2, NASA scientists held a press conference (新闻发布会) to discuss what Curiosity had found in its first two months on Mars.Curiosity has found soil that is similar to the sand formed by volcanoes (火山) on the earth. Scientists say that studying the minerals in Martian soil will help them understand what conditions were like on the planet in the past. Curiosity also found smooth stones like the ones found on river beds and seashores on the earth, where their rough edges have been worn down by water. Mars is very cold and dry now, but scientists say the smooth stones tell them that a river used to run through the place where they were found. Curiosity has been testing the atmosphere around Mars for a type of gas called methane (甲烷), but so far it has not found any. On the earth, most methane is produced by plants or animals. Methane on Mars might indicate that some types of tiny plants or animalslived there.Curiosity is the fourth robotic vehicle to be sent to Mars. It will continue to explore the planet for about two years.1. Which of the following descriptions about Curiosity is TRUE?A. It landed on Mars in January 2012. B. It is small in size and has four arms.C. It took over eight months to arrive in Mars. D. It was sent to Mars by scientists fr
