广西兴安县2017高考英语一轮（暑假）阅读理解演练【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。 According to the US government, wind farms off the Pacific coast could produce 900 gigawatts of electricity every year. Unfortunately, the water there is far too deep for even the tallest windmills to touch bottom. An experiment under way off the coast of Norway, however, could help put them anywhere. The project, called Hywind, is the worlds first large-scale deepwater wind turbine (涡轮发电机). Although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton, 2. 3-megawatt turbine, Hywind represents totally new technology. The turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar, a technology Hywinds creator, the Norwegian company StatoilHydro, has developed recently. The steel spar, which is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface, will be tied to the ocean floor by three cables ; these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down in the waves. Hywinds stability in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power. If all goes according to the plan, the turbine will start producing electricity six miles off the coast of southwestern Norway as early as September. To produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind farm will have to use bigger turbines than Hywind does, but its difficult enough to balance such a large turbine so high on a floating spar in the middle of the ocean. To make that turbine heavier, the whole spars center of gravity must be moved much closer to the oceans surface. To do that, the company plans to design a new kind of wind turbine, one whose gearbox (变速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind the blades. Hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could be extremely large. Out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing offshore windmills are planted. Deep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps overcome the windmill-as-eyesore objection. If the technology catches on, it will open up vast areas of the planets surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available. 1. The Hywind project uses totally new technology to ensure the stability of . A. the cables which tie the spar to the ocean floor B. the spar which is floating in deep-sea water C. the blades driven by strong and steady sea wind D. the stones filled in the spar below the sea surface2. To balance a bigger turbine high on a floating spar, a new type of turbine is to be designed with its gearbox sitting . A. on the sea floorB. on the spar topC. at sea levelD. behind the blades3. Wide applications of deepwater wind power technology can . A. solve the technical problems of deepwater windmills B. make financial profits by producing more turbines C. settle the arguments about environmental problems D. explore low-carbon power resources available at sea参考答案1-3 BCD 2016高考英语阅读理解集训。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。I clearly remember the day when my little brother was born: January 1, 1994. One of my favorite family photos shows me lying with my mother in the hospital bed, happy but un-aware of the small, sleeping baby in the background.I stayed with my grandparents for the weekend of my brothers birth, excited about my new brother but not yet aware of what having a little brother would mean. I didnt truly realize what was going on until we were in the hospital room at Duke University-coincidentally (碰巧地), the same room in which I had been born two years earlier.When I looked at my brother for the first time, I felt a mixture of fear and interest. Little did know that small, pink creature would grow up to be one of my favorite people in the world.In reality, though I am two years older than my brother, I am more often than not the real baby in the family. I am very lacking when it comes to common sense. Instructions constantly confuse me and I frequently find myself totally puzzled by things like knowing how to start the washing machine or manage the storage settings on my iPhone. Thats where Gibson comes in. The poor kid has had to guide me through more tasks than I would care to admit, but he never complains. Though I should probably be told to figure it out myself, he always comes through. Im envious of his ability to readily answer the ever-present, “What do you want to do with your life?” question at family gatherings. “Be a doctor,” he says-a solid answer, completely opposite to my shaky one, “Well, Im an English major, so.”My brother truly is my best friend. No one understands me better, and there isnt anyone else I would want to be stuck with in our family. I may not have a clear idea of where Im headed, but he is stuck with me. 1. How did the author feel when he saw his brother for the first time?A. Angry and sad. B. Excited and moved.C. Curious and scared. D. Happy and interested.2. What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?A. My brother is the real baby in the family.B. In fact, I seem to be less mature than my little brother.C. My brother gets more love from the family than I do.D. I am growing more slowly than my brother.3. What does the brother often help the author do?A. Help him deal with many daily tasks.B. Help him with his studies.C. Give him advice on how to choose a major. D. Comfort him when he is in a bad mood.4. What is the best title for this text?A. My Strange Family Gatherings B. The Real Baby in the FamilyC. Stuck with Me-My Not-So-Little Little Brother D. The Feeling of Having a Brother参考答案14 CBAC 【2015高考复习】阅读理解A survey sponsored by an international temporary service agency found that US.executives believe that people with a sense of humour do better at their jobs，compared with those who have little or no sense of humour.In fact，a whopping 96 percent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humour do better.The survey went on to point out that the results suggest that a sense of humour may help lighthearted employees keep their jobs during tough times.And，whats more，it may propel them up the corporate ladder past their humourless colleagues.Why？It seems that those with a sense of humour are better communicators and better team players.Studies have shown that happy workers are more productive.In fact，a researcher at California State University found that humour could help the employees to release tension.Consequently，they can concentrate on their work more efficiently.Whats more，employees who enjoy interacting with their coworkers arent as likely to be distracted，or absent from work.Research conducted by psychologist Dr Ashton Trice at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia showed that humour helps us think.When people feel stuck on important projects，they tend to feel angry or depressed.This negative mood can interfere with subsequent performance.According to Dr Trices research，taking time out to laugh can help us to get rid of negative feelings and allow us to return to a task or move on to another project unaffected by past defeat.If humour is really this important，then why dont we use it more often on the job?Most likely，the main reason is that many people are unaware of the positive effects of humour in the workplace.They tend to think humour and laughter are unproductive or unprofessional，perhaps both.However，it is important to realize that some humour is inappropriate for the workplace，and that it is often used at wrong times.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇时文报道。管理者们认为，和那些没有幽默感的人相比，具有幽默感的人能把工作做得更好。比如，幽默的人富有合作意识，具有较高的工作效率等。20Most people think a sense of humour can _.Ahelp you to do your work betterBmake you have a rich lifeCmake you pleased with your workDhelp you to make more friends答案A细节理解题。根据第一段可知，和没有或很少有幽默感的人相比，有幽默感的人能把工作做得更好。B、C和D在意义上和幽默感没有联系，也和本文意思不符。21Which one of the following can describe a person with a sense of homour?ASerious. BFunny.CChangeable. DFriendly.答案D推理判断题。由全文内容可以看出：有幽默感的人更容易与人交流，与人合作；有幽默感的人更平易近人，更“友好”；而不是“易变、严肃、有趣”等。22Many people dont use humour more often in the workplace because _.Athey like keeping silent when workingBthey dont know the positive effects of humourCthey think they should obey the rulesDthey dont like joking or laughing答案B细节理解题。根据第五段可知，在工作场所人们大都表现得不幽默，其原因是不知道幽默的积极效果。其他选项与文章的意思不符。23Which is probably the best title for the passage?APeople with a sense of humour.BHumour is important in the workplace.CHumour and humourless.DEveryone likes humour.答案B主旨大意题。全文主要谈的是工作中的幽默的积极作用。比如，幽默可以使人减轻压力，可以使人有较高的工作效率等。本文不是纯粹地讲幽默，也不是纯粹地说有幽默感的人。【2015高考复习】阅读理解When youre surfing the Internet on your laptop from your dorm or home，do you know your personal details are being gathered secretly？And would you be surprised to know the information may be sold cheaply to advertisers and marketers?According to an investigation by The Wall Street Journal，all it takes is a tiny file in a computera single code consisting of a long series of numbers and lettersto record the computer users age，gender，location，favorite movies and hobbies.The newspaper reports that Lotame Solutions Inc.，a New York company，uses a sophisticated (先进的) software.called “beacon”to capture what people are typing on a website.Lotame packages that data into profiles (个人资料) about individuals，only without their names，and sells the profiles to companies seeking customers.Batches of such data may be sold for a few dollars.The Wall Street Journal survey discovered that spying on Internet users is one of the fastestgrowing businesses on the World Wide Web.The “cookie”a tiny text file put on your PC by websites or marketing firms which might be used to remember your preferences for one site，or to track you across many sites is already old news.There are new and more complex tools such as “beacons”which scan in real time what people are doing on a webpage.These beacons instantly assess the Internet users location，income，shopping interests and even medical conditions.Millions of Internet users around the world also face unprecedented (空前的) threats.Private，sensitive，personal and business information is being gathered and sold without their knowledge.Companies insist the information they gather is anonymous and the data is used harmlessly.But the technology has grown so powerful that even some of the biggest websites in the US dont know that they were installing intrusive files on visitors computers.These include MSN.com and Y.Next time you visit a webpage and find an ad banner advertising something youve been planning to buy，dont be amazed that your computer can read your mind.【语篇导读】经常上网的人可能都遇到过这样的情况：浏览网页(surfing the Internet)时总是跳出一些广告，内容还都是你最近想买的商品。别误会，你的电脑还没智能到读懂你的想法是你的个人隐私被出卖啦！赶快来看看是怎么一回事吧！1The purpose of the passage is to_.Aintroduce a tiny file in a computera single codeBshow how your individual information was let out when you surf the InternetCshow how to protect your privacyDintroduce a sophisticated software called “beacon”答案B主旨大意题。本文围绕着上网时你的个人信息被别人收集并且被出售了讲述。故选B项。2All of the following statements are not true EXCEPT_.A.
