【2018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。
The idea of inventing an international language is not a new one. Over the past 180 years, linguists (语言学家) have created over ten different languages that are based on German, Spanish, and English. One of these was Basic English.
By 1923 the First World War had been over for five years, but Europe was still recovering from its effects. Charles Kay Ogden, a linguist and writer, was running several bookshops in Cambridge. He published The Meaning
of Meaning (1923), a book describing how we use language. The book received high praise, which drove Ogden to design an international language — something that was much simpler than English. In 1930 Ogden’s book Basic English: A General Introduction with Rules and Grammar was published.
Perhaps it takes about seven years for one to become a good English speaker. Ogden believed that Basic English could be learned in seven weeks. There were only 850 words and the grammar was very simple.
The language attracted the attention of cators all over the world, but its development was stopped by the Second World War. After the war, both the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and the President of the United States Franklin D. Roosevelt looked for ideas that might bring world peace. They both gave speeches that encouraged the use of Ogden’s international language. In the past 60 years, the language has had some success. In some parts of East Asia, teachers are still using Ogden’s word lists.
However, in the main, the language has disappeared. Because there are many more non-native than native speakers of English, recently some linguists have asked whether we should give careful consideration to Ogden’s ideas again. And the Wikipedia website (21世纪教育网https://www.doczj.com/doc/d89552074.html,) has started a version (版本) written in Basic English for non-native learners of the language. Search for it on the Internet now!

A. was very easy to learn

Computer programmer David Jones earns ￡35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card(信用卡). Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18. The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David' s firm releases(推出) two new games for the fast growing computer market each month.
But David's biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage(抵押贷款),or get credit cards. David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop.“I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs,”he said. David spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.
“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,”he said.“But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway.”David added：“I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement(退休) is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.”
56. In what way is David different from people of his age?

【2018高考训练】
China has recently been faced with serious issues of product safety. In Panama, it is said that medicine made with a poisonous chemical sickened some people. A Chinese company had identified it as diethylene
glycol, a low – cost substitute commonly used in automobile antifreeze.
Some countries have banned Chinese-made toothpaste containing diethylene glycol. China has now told companies to discontinue its use, even though it says the toothpaste is safe. Another industrial chemical, melamine, was found in wheat flour used to make pet food in North America. Thousands of dogs and cats became sick.
The United States has restricted some imports of Chinese seafood because they contained banned substance. And questions have been raised about other products, including childre n’s toys covered with lead paint.
Chinese officials promised to provide the European Union, the biggest trading partner, with detailed reports on enforcement efforts against unsafe goods.
Meglena Kuneva, commissioner (理事) for consumer protection of the European Union said China should have kept its promise.
China recently closed three companies linked to the Panama and the pet food scare. And it dismissed the former head of its food and drug administration. He was found guilty of corruption (腐败) for approving unsafe drugs. This week, a conference of the State Council approved a proposed special measure on the supervision of food safety. The Xinhua News Agency said it calls for stronger controls over producers, greater responsibilities for government and more serious punishment for illegal activities.
But Chinese officials have accused some foreign media of overstating problems with goods made in China. They say food imports from the United States also fail
inspection sometimes. Next Week, American and Chinese food safety officials are planning to hold 5 days of meetings in Beijing to discuss cooperation.
51．How many cases with safety problems are mentioned in the passage?
A．Six B．Five C．Four D．Three 52．How was Panama case dealt with afterwards?

B．The former head of food and drug administration was executed.
C．More serious punishment was conducted for leaders linked to it.
D．Both A and B.
53．It can be implied but not clearly stated that ________.
A．Chinese made toothpaste is safe
B．the safety of “made in China” is doubted C．there are safety problems with one more Chinese products
D．stronger control over Chinese products is in need
54．The passage is mainly about ________.
A．China is facing product safety problems
B．more controls are taken of Chinese goods
C．overstated problems with Chinese goods
D．China is losing its trade partners
55．What does “it refers to in the last but one paragraph?”

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。
Since 1984 ，Philadelphia has been cleaning up its act. One by one，graffiti-covered walls are being changed into outdoor art. So far，more than 1,800 murals (壁画) have been painted. Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city.
The walls that were once ugly with graffiti (涂鸦) are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program (MAP). Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphia's Anti-Graffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAP's artistic director. “When people ask me what our program is about, ”she says，“I answer them with one word: hope.” Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some one-time graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.
The MAP's work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of community (社区). When a neighborhood requests a mural，the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been “Safe Streets，”“Love and Care, ”and “Peace Walk.”
The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year，the workers painted 140 murals.
“The making of a mural enters people's collective memory as an extraordinary，pleasant moment in neighborhood history，”says Golden，who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.

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。
Howling is a behaviour commonly observed among a wolf pack.As pack animals，wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication among each other.There are different explanations of a wolf's howl and it appears that there may be more to discover.
One theory is that wolves howl to bond better together.It's almost as if howling together helps the pack stay together.Perhaps something similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when singing a song together. But this theory may be wrong，explains Fred H．Harrington，a professor who studies wolf behaviour.
Indeed，there have been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorus，and the next，quarreling among each other.It appears that usually the lowest-ranking members of the pack may actually be “punished” for joining in the chorus at times.So is howling a way to strengthen a social bond or just a way to reconfirm status among its members? —Why do wolves howl for sure?
What is clear，however，is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other.Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one another at times.When this happens，howling
appears to be an excellent means of gathering.
Howling，interestingly，is a contagious behaviour.When one wolf starts to howl，very likely others will follow.This is often seen to occur in the morning，as if wolves were doing some sort of “roll call”where wolves all howl together to report their presence.
动物的嚎叫有其目的性，而人的对唱也是为了呼唤同伴，所以人们认为两者在这一方面是相同的；但专家似乎发现，狼的嚎叫不仅仅是为了呼朋引伴，因为有时也会争斗，因此，研究之后，专家发现：狼的嚎叫可能是个传染形式的行为，有时也是为了呼唤同伴。
5．What is the possible similarity between wolves' howling together and humans' singing in chorus?
A．The act of calling each other. B．The sense of accomplishment. C．The act of hunting for something. D．The sense of belonging to a group.
答案：D。细节判断题。从第二段的信息词“b ond better together”以及“help the pack stay together”等可以确定两者的共同点与选项D的说法是一致的。
6．Why does Harrington think the“social bond”theory may be wrong? A．Wolves separate from each other after howling.
B．Wolves tend to protect their hunting grounds.
C．Wolves sometimes have quarrels after howling together. D．Wolves of low rank are encouraged to join in the chorus.
答案：C。细节判断题。根据第三段中提到的“and the next, quarrelling among each other”以及“it appears that...be punished for joining...”都可以表明选项C的说法是符合原文之意的。
7．Researchers are sure that wolves often howl to________.
A．show their ranks B．find their companions C．report the missing ones D．express their loneliness
答案：B。细节判断题。根据倒数第二段中的第一句话的信息词“locate each other”以及最后一句中的“appears to be an excellent means of gathering”都可以明确：狼的嚎叫正是为了找伴儿，故选项B的说法是最符合原文的。
8．“Howlin g...is a contagious behaviour”(in the last
paragraph)means________.
A．howling is a signal for hunting B．howling is a way of communication
C．howling often occurs in the morning D．howling spreads from one to another
答案：D。句意理解题。从最后一段中的第二句话中可以找到contagious一词的理解：一个随着一个的去做事情，如同选项D所说的那样。

2019年高考英语阅读理解专题复习10篇(名师精选真题实战训练+详细解题过程，值得下载练习) [一] As cultural symbols go, the American car is quite young. The Model T Ford was built at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago, with the first rolling off the assembly line(装配线) on September 27,1908.Only eleven cars were produced the next month. But eventually Henry Ford would build fifteen million of them. Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped some of the most lasting aspects o f American culture: the roadside diner, the billboard, the motel, even the hamburger. For most of the last century, the car represented what it meant to be American—going forward at high speed to find new worlds. The road novel, the road movie, these are the most typical American ideas, born of abundant petrol, cheap cars and a never-ending interstate highway system, the largest public works project in history. pot and In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with“ a chicken in every a car in every garage.” Since then, this society has moved onward, never looking back, as the car transformed America from a farm-based society into an industrial power. The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological disaster. In America the demand for oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990. The problems of excessive(过度的)energy consumption, climate change and population growth have been described in a book by the American writer Thomas L.Friedman.

卷28太原五中2018届高三阶段性检测 A 许多人不知道2017年著名的纯素食名人，但是越来越多的人接触到素食主义的相关信息。下面是4位素食主义者。 歌手埃莉·古尔丁谈论她钟爱的蔬果奶昔，并在《塑形》杂志上称自己为真正的纯素食者。 “我称自己为真正的纯素食者。这十分困难，但也不是不可能实现。我几乎每天都给自己榨绿色果汁。我会放如香蕉、西兰花之类的东西，或者我冰箱里的任何东西真的都可以。红薯条和沙拉绝对是我的最爱。这是完美的一餐搭配。我也会吃很多坚果，但是我也爱吃薯条。成为素食主义者其实很容易，因为许多垃圾食品都是素食！” 利亚姆·海姆斯沃斯唱歌赞美自己的全新素食餐，这使他上了头条新闻。在《男性健身》杂志的一次访谈中，他宣称，“我只感到身心上的愉悦。我喜欢素食餐。” “考虑到自身健康，以及我所收集的关于虐待动物的信息，我不能再继续吃肉了。我了解越多，我就越难继续吃肉，”当被问及是什么让他决定改变饮食习惯时他这样回复。 麦莉·赛勒斯是一位动物维权者，拥有数百万的ins粉丝，她会在ins上清晰明确地表达观点！受到失去自己河豚的启发，流行歌手麦莉·赛勒斯成为一名素食者，并在《吉米·法伦深夜秀》上谈及此事。 “我之所以开始素食是因为我曾经有一条智商很高的鱼。它真的知道我是谁，当我到家时它会十分兴奋。有一天我和朋友们去一家寿司店，他们提供河豚食用。而我想河豚是一种聪明的动物。” 越来越多像爱莉安娜·格兰德这样的年轻巨星正在向他们的粉丝们传播有意识的饮食信息。爱莉安娜看过极具影响力的纪录片《餐叉胜于手术刀》后十分震惊，于是成为了一名素食者。 “不开玩笑地说，我热爱动物胜过爱大多数的人。但是我坚定地相信要吃完全的植物类食物可以延长寿命，并让你更加开心。在外面吃的时候比较棘手，但是我坚持只吃我所知道的蔬菜、水果和沙拉。我到家之后再吃其他的。” B 一位大师的两个僧侣在大师房前的花园里行走。他们被要求每天都这样走，从黎明走到黄昏。行走是一种冥想形式。白天他们不可以坐下——腿部需要一些活动，血液需要些许循环。 他们都希望得到大师的允许可以坐下，所以他们决定，“大多数情况，他会拒绝，但是我们还是要去问一下。而且在花园里坐着看起来也不像是什么不礼貌的行为。” 第二天他们在花园相遇。其中一人十分生气，因为另一个人正坐着。他说，“发生了什么？我也问过了，但他还是断然拒绝了，说不可以坐。你现在却坐着！你要违背他的命令吗？” 另一个人说，“但是他和我说可以。” “这太不公平了，”第一个人说道，“我这就去问他为什么对我说不可以，却对你说可以。” 另一个人说，“等等。告诉我你当时是怎么问的。”第一个人说，“我当时怎么问？我当时就简单地问了句‘我可以边坐着边冥想吗？’他说不可以，而且看起来很生气。” 另一个人大笑着说道，“现在我知道是怎么回事了。我当时问的是‘我可以边冥想边坐着吗？’他说可以。” 这视情况而定。只是一点不同，生活就完全变样。询问“我可以边坐着边冥想吗？”着实令人厌恶。但是询问“我可以边冥想边坐着吗？”就完全没有问题。非常好！至少你会冥想。 生活就是一块空白的油画布，我们必须对它充满创意。

一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 City trees grow faster and die younger than trees in rural forestry, a new study finds. Over their lifetimes, then, urban trees will likely absorb less CO2 from the air thah forest trees. As we all know, the earth would be freezing or burning hot without CO2. However, CO2is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps energy from the sun as/heat. That makes temperatures near the ground rise. Human activities, especially the widespread burning-of fossil(化石)fuels, have been sending extra greenhouse gases into the air. This has led to a rise in average temperatures across the globe. Studies had shown forests readily absorb CO2, but there hadn't been much data on whether city trees grow, die and absorb CO2at the same rate as forest trees do. So some researchers decided to find out. To figure out how quickly trees were growing, researchers tracked their diameters (the width of their trunks) between 2005 and 2014. A tree's diameter increases as it grows, just as a person's waist size increases as they gain weight. About half the weight of a tree is carbon, research has shown. Most of the rest is water. Over the nine years' tracking, the researchers found city trees absorbed four times as much carbon from the air as forest trees. However, they were twice as likely to die. So over the lifetime of each type of tree, forest trees actually absorbed more CO2. City trees grew faster because they had less competition for light from their neighbors. In a forest, trees tend to grow close together, shading their neighbors. Street trees also benefit from higher levels of nitrogen (氮)in rainwater. Nitrogen helps plants grow. Waste gases from gas-burning cars also contain nitrogen, thus enriching city air with nitrogen. Later, rainwater may wash much of it to the ground. Some street trees may also have better access to water than trees in the country because the underground water pipes can leak. （1）What can he known about CO2 from paragraph 2? A. It is one of the side effects of greenhouses. B. It greatly accelerates the process of global warming. C. It results from the widespread burning of fossil fuels. D. It prevents the earth from becoming unsuitable to live on. （2）Why did researchers track the diameters of trees? A. To know about their growth rates. B. To find out how much they weigh. C. To check whether they were healthy. D. To assess the carbon amounts in them. （3）What advantage do city trees have over forest trees? A. They are more likely to access growth promoters. B. They can enjoy more water coming from the air. C. They can enjoy more shade from neighbors. D. They are better at competing for light. （4）What will probably be talked about if the passage is continued? A. How urban trees can live longer. B. Why city living makes trees die young. C. How trees respond to dry soil conditions. D. Why faster-growing trees absorb more CO2.

高考必刷题英语阅读理解题 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Imagine waking up one day and finding that your beautiful local beach is no more—gone, its fine white sand swept away by an abnormal storm. You go about your daily business for 12 long years and then suddenly the beach is back, all its glory restored by another storm. This is what happened on the island of Achill, off the coast of Ireland, where people are celebrating the return of the beautiful Ashleam Bay beach that was taken from them in 2005. That in itself is unusual enough, but the story gets even better! You see, another beach in Achill did a disappearing act once, but took much longer to return. The beach at Doonagh, located only six miles away from Ashleam Bay, was restored earlier in 2016 after waves created by spring storms had swept away all the sand in 1984, leaving just rock pools behind. There is local legend that stretches back hundreds of years that says this beach at Ashlcam Bay returns for a short every seven years then disappears again. But this time around it took a bit longer than that. It was last seen in 2005 and it stayed for a few months at that time before it was washed away again. As you can imagine, everyone on the island of Achill is thrilled to have their sandy beach back, and even though no one knows how long it's going to be around for, they are making the most of the time they've got before it disappears again. Some may be quick to believe climate changes cause the phenomenon, but that's not the reason these two beaches in Achill keep disappearing, Dr Kevin Lynch, a geographer at NUT Galway, says that these occurrences are the result of hydrodynamics (流体力学) and sediment(沉积物) supply, rather than climate changes. Regardless of what's causing them, disappearing and reappearing beaches are just part of what makes nature so fascinating. （1）What is people's reaction to the return of the Ashleam Bay beach? A. Full of fear. B. Quite delighted. C. Very disappointed. D. Extremely con fused.（2）What can we learn about the beach at Doonagh? A. It is not located in Ireland. B. It disappeared 12 years ago. C. It once disappeared for more than 30 years. D. It is just made up of rocks and pools. （3）According to the local legend, when should the Ashleam Bay beach have come back? A. In 1982. B. In 2012. C. In 2016. D. In 2018. （4）What does Dr Kevin Lynch think of the phenomenon? A. Some abnormal storms lead to ocean's enlargement, B. It is hard to uncover the mystery of beach's disappearing. C. Climate changes can result in beaches disappearing completely. D. Hydrodynamics and sediment supply cause two beaches to disappear. 【答案】（1）B （2）C （3）B
