山西壶关县2017高考英语一轮阅读理解选练（二）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、D）中，选出最佳选项。 Study finds being sociable is good for your health, while loneliness is as bad for you as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. A circle of close friends and strong family ties can improve a persons health more than exercise, losing weight or quitting cigarettes and alcohol, psychologists say. Sociable people seem to benefit extra rewards from their relationships by feeling less stressed, taking better care of themselves and having less risky lifestyles than those who are more lonely, they say.A review of studies into the effect of relationships on health found that people had a 50% better survival rate if they belonged to a wider social group, be it friends, neighbors, relatives or a mix of these.The obvious effect of social connections on health has led researchers to call on health officials to take loneliness as seriously as other health risks, such as alcoholism(酗酒) and smoking.“We take relationships for granted as humans,” said Julianne Holt-Lunstad, a psychologist at Brigham Young University in Utah. “ That continuous interaction(相互影响) is beneficial not only psychologically but physically.”Holt-Lunstads team reviewed 148 studies that followed the social interactions and health of 308,849 people over an average of 7.5 years. From these they worked out how death rates differed depending on how sociable a person was.Holt-Lunstad said friends and family can improve health in many ways, from help in tough times to finding meaning in life. “When someone is connected to a group and feels responsibility to other people, that sense of purpose and meaning changes into taking better care of themselves and taking fewer risks.”1. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. The serious consequence of loneliness. B. Studies of Holt-Lunstads team.C. Being sociable makes you live longer. D. Cigarettes and alcohol do harm to health.2. Whats the authors attitude towards the connection with friends?A. Concerned.B. Worried.C. Negative.D. Approving.3. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Death rates depend on serious smoking. B. Being social is good for physical health.C. A strong family tie is helpful for your health. D. Loneliness will cause other health risks.【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。孤独使人难受，还带来一些其他的身体危害。然而，与朋友、家人、亲戚的交流会使你身体健康，同时延长寿命，而且有益于其他方面的发展。1.C【命题立意】 主旨大意题。考查考生对文章主旨大意的概括理解能力。【试题解析】 有全文和第一段内容可确定，文章主要介绍社交有益于身心健康并使人长寿。 2.D【命题立意】 推理判断题。考查考生推理判断的能力。 【试题解析】 根据全文可知，作者对于建立良好的社会关系是支持的。3.A【命题立意】 细节理解题。考查学生对细节信息的提取能力。【试题解析】 根据倒数第三段最后一句可知，死亡率取决于社交能力如何，但未提到随多少而变。2016高考模拟题。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。On countless mornings over the past year, I stood with my son, James, in our driveway, watching our neighbor hurry off to kindergartenMy wife and I wanted to give James the best education, but that meant wed have to change our jobs and spend less time with our kidI asked myself, Would this trade-off be worth it?

And, like Truss author of Eats, shoots & Leaves I have a “zero tolerance” approach to grammar mistakes that make people look stupid.Now, Truss and I disagree on what it means to have “zero tolerance”. She thinks that people who mix up basic grammar “deserve to be struck by lightning, hacked (砍) up on the spot and buried in an unmarked grave”, while I just think they deserve to be passed over for a job even if they are otherwise qualified for the position.Everyone who applies for a position at either of my companies, iFixit or Dozuki, takes a compulsory grammar test. If job hopefuls cant distinguish between “to” and “too”, their applications go into the bin.Of course, we write for a living. iF is the worlds largest online repair manual (指南), and Dozuki helps companies write their own technical documentation, like paperless work instructions and step-by-step user manuals. So, it makes sense that weve made a strong strike against grammar errors.But grammar is relevant for all companies. Yes, language is constantly changing, but that doesnt make grammar unimportant. Good grammar is credibility, especially on the Internet. And, for better or worse, people judge you if you cant tell the difference between “their” “there” and “theyre”.Good grammar makes good business sense and not just when it comes to hiring writers. Writing isnt in the official job description of most people in our office. Still, we give our grammar test to everybody, including our salespeople, our operations staff, and our programmers.Grammar signifies more than just a persons ability to remember high school English. Ive found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something completely unrelated to writing like stocking shelves or labeling parts. It is the same with programmers. Applicants who dont think writing is important are likely to think lots of other things also arent important.32. The author agrees with Lynne Truss in that _.A. grammar mistakes cant be tolerated B. books on grammar make people stupid C. people need to learn basic grammar D. grammar mistakes are absolutely unavoidable33. Whats the authors “zero tolerance” approach to these job seekers who mix up basic grammar?A. They should be left out for a job. B. They have to correct their mistakes.C. They arent qualified for their jobs. D. They must be severely punished.34. Which of the following is TRUE of iFixit and Dozuki?A. Only one of them has a compulsory grammar test. B. They are companies where one learns grammar. C. Grammar is quite important for their existence.D. They depend on grammar correction for a living.35. What can we learn from the text? A. Companies giving grammar tests may have no good business sense.B. Grammar becomes unimportant as language is constantly changing.C. A “zero tolerance” approach to grammar errors might seem a little unfair. D. People who pay attention to writing may pay attention to other things.【参考答案】3235 AACD阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。【2014高考英语福建省莆田市教学质量检查试卷】A The kindly“Chinese Fortune Grandpa”wearing Han Chineseclothing and holding a fortune bag debuted (亮相) at the Imperial Ancestral Shrine in Beijing on the day after ChristmasThe final imageof the Chinese gift-giver was selected through a global design competitionagainst“Santa Claus”，according to a report by Guangming DailyMany Chinese cities have been filled with Christmas neon lights，Christmas songs，Christmas trees，and the images of“Santa Claus”inrecent daysAs a matter of fact，foreign festivals are becoming more popular than certain traditional Chinese festivals among the Chinese people，particularly the youth“Certain traditional festivals have died out because people have forgotten their spiritual meanings，”said noted writer Feng JicaiMore and more Chinese people are beginning to exchange gifts on Valentines Day and ChristmasHowever，many of them know nothing about Chinese New Year pictures or sugarcoated figurines(小糖人)，and have never heard suona musicCertain folk customs on the Dragon Boat Festival，Tomb Sweeping Day，and other traditional festivals have gradually disappearedUnder such circum-stances，even the“Chinese Fortune Grandpa”is unlikely to defeat“Santa Claus”However，it is not a bad thing to some extentIt constantly reminds people to restore the“trueface”of traditional festivalsChina has listed traditional Tomb Sweeping Day，Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival as legal holidays，which brings more paid leaves to the public，and helps to awake the public awareness of traditional festivalsIn modern society，festival is a carrier of culture and its meaning largelydepends on their understandings and usages by peopleCompared with
