广安市2017高考英语阅读理解一轮系列训练（68）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。Women, be on your guard. There is a new male excuse for not listening to us.A recent study shows that men find it almost impossible to listen to what women say because their brains are out of synch（不同步的）with complex female tones. Apparently, when men listen to other men about the things they care about, they use only the frontal area of their brains. However, when they listen to women its different story. They have to work much harder, employing a part of the brain that normally deals with music. So when a man tells you your voice is music to his ears, hes actually telling the truth, though not in a good way. Im sure a lot of women could recall times when they have wasted hours explaining why they are completely right about everything in the world, only to wake up the next day to discover that not one brilliant point got through. Those times when men havent listened to me, I just thought I was being ignored. I didnt realize I just wasnt singing their favorite music. If Id realized I was being heard as music, I would have had a bit of fun with it. Whenever I wanted a discussion, Id have brought along my own band, complete with string and horn sections. It is difficult not to be suspicious of yet more scientific findings sparing men the blame because of their biology. Isnt this slaves to biology all-purpose excuse wearing thin? Its enough to make you wonder at what a strange helpless species men are -which part of the body will be beyond their control next. Even if there is something in it, we have to take into account that most relationships are likely to become boring. Thats the truth of the matter. Male or female, your voice might start out as music to your beloveds ears. But finally it will end up as boredom. When your beautiful tones are there all the time, as they go about their daily business, you start to blend in a bit too much, until finally you become a kind of background noise. 1 The author of this passage tries to _. A. throw doubts on a commonly accepted idea B. explain a commonly accepted idea as it is C. give some advice on a common problem D. argue against a common belief 2According to the new study, men dont listen to women because _ . A. what women say are usually boringB. they dont care about what women say C. they cant deal with female voicesD. they regard female voices as music 3The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph shows that the author is _. A. realistic B. humorous C. serious D. funny4What does the author think of the finding of the new study? A. She thinks it doubtful. B. She thinks it interesting. C. She thinks it needs further proof. D. She thinks it right. 5The author would most probably agree that _. A. men should accept what women say B. women should talk less and do more housework C. however beautiful voices may be, they will finally become boring D. the relationship between men and women should always be improving 1、答案解析：答案为B。本题考查文章的写作目的。本文第二段就揭示了为什么男性听不进去女性的话的原因，文章后面的内容对此进行了阐述。故答案为B。2、答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。由第三段的内容可知，男性在听同性的话语的时候只是用了大脑的前面区域；然而听女性的话语的时候，却更费力，因为要使用通常用来听音乐的那部分的大脑区域。故可推断，男性不听女性的话是因为他们大脑不能非常容易地处理女性的声音。故答案为C。干扰性最强的D选项 “他们把女性的声音当成音乐” 与文意不符。故错误。3、答案解析：答案为B。本题为句意推断题。结合第五段的内容，作者以女性的口吻谈到如果她早意识到她是因为 “音乐”而被男人倾听，她会为此而感到些许开怀。无论何时，如果她想要一场“讨论”，就会带上自己的乐队，弦号俱全。故可以推断，划线部分的语言显得幽默。4、答案解析：答案为A。本题为细节推断题。由倒数第三段首句 “It is difficult not to be suspicious of ” 可知，本句话的同义词就是doubtful.故答案为A。5、答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。从最后一段 “When your beautiful tones are there all the time, as they go about their daily business, you start to blend in a bit too much, until finally you become a kind of background noise.” 可知，当你美妙的旋律每天都出现在男人日常生活中的时候，最后也会变成背景噪音。故答案为C.A、B未提及；倒数第二段首句提到了 “ most relationships are likely to become boring.” D选项与此不符，故错误。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。Food sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things.

Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the body, these tiny living things release(释放)poisons that make people sick.

Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops.Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people. These include certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and mushrooms. When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small. Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces.Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing. Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms.People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild.Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans.

People who increased their intake over just six weeks developed a healthy glow and appeared more attractive, researchers found.Scientists at St Andrews University found eating them slightly increased yellow and red pigments in the volunteers skin. They monitored the food intake of 35 people and took pictures of their faces, arms and hands using a sensitive camera at the start, and after three and six weeks. Increasing their intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day was found to make the person look more healthy and an extra 3.3 portions could enhance their attractiveness, when their photographs were rated by others.Fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids (类胡萝卜素)，which are known to protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays, and can also prevent agerelated diseases including heart disease and cancer. But while it was known eating extreme amounts of certain vegetables such as carrots could turn skin orange ，it was not known a small increase was perceptible(被觉察)to othersand was seen as appealing.A camera measured changes to the skins redness, yellowness and lightness, and found it significantly changed in people who naturally increased their intake. These changes were not evident in three weeks. Using light sensors, the researchers showed these red and yellow hues were linked with the levels of carotenoids in their skin. There are hundreds of carotenoids but those thought to have the most dramatic effect are lycopene(番茄红素)，which gives tomatoes and red peppers their red colour and betacarotene found in carrots as well as broccoli, squash, and spinach. Skin colour is also affected by chemicals called polyphenols(多元酚)，found in apples, blueberries and cherries, which cause blood rush to the skin surface.4 What do we know from the research?A If you take in a little more fruit and vegetables, you will obviously look more attractive in three weeks.B The researchers took the pictures of the 35 people in the research at different stages.C Increasing your intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day can greatly improve your health.D People who increased their intake of greens by 3.3 portions a day were found the most attractive after six weeks.2 Which of the following is NOT the function of carotenoids ?A They can protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays.B They can prevent heart disease and cancer.C They can prevent agerelated diseases.D They can keep you in good health.3 Which of the statements is NOT true according to the passage?A Weve already known eating extreme amounts of carrots can turn skin orange.B We knew in the past that eating a few more carrots could make us look appealing.C The research showed the improvement in skin is linked with the levels of carotenoids in it.D Among hundreds of carotenoids, lycopene is thought to have the most dramatic effect on the skin.4 We can infer from the passage that _Askins redness, yellowness and lightness make a person look more healthy and attractiveBcarotenoids have the same effect as lycopeneCit is carotenoids that give tomatoes and red peppers their red colourDboth betacarotene and polyphenols affect skin colour by causing blood rush to the skin surface解题导语本文主要论述了吃水果和蔬菜不仅让我们的身体健康，而且还能使人看起来更漂亮。1解析：选B。细节理解题。根据They monitored the food intake of 35 people and took pictures of their faces, arms and hands using a sensitive camera at the start, and after three and six weeks.故选B。2解析：选D。细节理解题。根据Fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids (类胡萝卜素)，which are known to protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays, and can also prevent agerelated diseases including heart disease and cancer.没有提到选项D的内容，故选D。3解析：选B。细节理解题。根据全文都是说现在的研究发现的内容，没有提到过去的情况，故选B。4解析：选A。推理判断题。根据People who increased their intake over just six weeks developed a healthy glow and appeared more attractive, researchers found.可以推出皮肤发红、发黄、轻盈让人看起来更健康和有吸引力。故选A。【2016届石家庄市高中毕业班质量检测（二）试题】阅读理解。阅读下面短文，选择最佳答案填空。CYou use her as a shoulder to cry on.
