广西平乐县2017高考英语一轮阅读理解能力练习题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。My oldest child, Emma, just returned to campus after a long holiday break to finish up her last period of college. These days, friends and family have begun flooding me with one question: What is she going to do after graduation?The job market is, after all, awfully tough. Just this month the Federal Reserve Bank published a study showing that “recent graduates are increasingly working in low-paid jobs or working part-time.” The bright spot, according to the study, is for students who majored(主修) in STEM science, technology, engineering and mathematics areas in which recent graduates “have tended to do relatively well”. But Emma is a student of the humanities(人文) at a small college. Shes an American Studies major with a focus on the politics and culture of food. For quite a while, I think her field of study is so fashionable right now that Im not the least bit worried she will find a good job. Yet the more Ive thought about it, the more Ive decided to be honest. “Im not sure what Emma is going to do,” I now say. “But shes gotten a great education and has really found her interest. and I know those things will serve her well over the course of her life.”Nowadays, more and more universities and colleges are being measured by the salaries of their recent graduates. In this climate, encouraging your kid to study the humanities, seems, at best, unwise or, at worst, unconcerned with earning a living. But a college is not a vocational(职业) school. And promoting STEM subjects should not be societys only answer to helping the next generation grow in a competitive world.From the beginning, we never urged Emma to pick a college or a major with an eye on its expected return on money, as more and more families are doing. To Emma, what really matters will be something that we may not be able to measure for quite a long time: Emmas contribution to the world and how happy she is in it.1. The authors friends and family_.A. are worried about Emmas safetyB. have been worrying about the floodC. are concerned about Emmas futureD. are worried about the job market 2. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. The number of the graduates is increasing.B. STEM graduates can be better employees.C. STEM graduates are in relatively greater demand.D. More and more graduates like to do a part-time job.3. Why did Emma choose a major in the humanities?A. Because she is interested in it.B. Because her mother told her to.C. Because it is increasingly popular.D. Because she wants further education.4. According to the author, what matters most in choosing a major is that_. A. it should be among the STEM B. it should be fashionable and interestingC. it should allow a good job and a high salaryD. it should bring achievements and happiness参考答案14、 CCAD黑龙江省大庆市喇中2016高考英语阅读练习新闻报道类Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, destroying fourteen homes.

One person was killed，several were badly hurt and taken to hospital，and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm. A farmer，Mr.Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour. “I was eating with my wife and children，”he said，“When we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him，safe but very frightened.” Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.“There was no time to take anything.” she said，“A few minutes later，the roof came down.” Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded area and the welfare department(福利机构)brought them food，clothes and shelter.【小题1】How many homes altogether were damaged in the storm?

Experts suggest a possible model way may be reinventing a “garden city”Chinas megacities are bursting at the borders and the country is now undergoing the quickest and biggest urbanization in the history of mankind. It is estimated that by 2025, China will have 400 million more people living in its cities, raising its urban population to 900 million. Besides, new satellite towns are mushrooming on the urban fringes while city ring roads are rippling outwards into the countryside at amazing speed. Satellite maps collected by Professor Joshua Bolchover at the University of Hong Kong bring the problem sharply into focus. They track the changing ruralurban framework in the past 30 years, and suggest that cities are cruelly destroying surrounding rural land and rapidly reducing the amount of arable(可耕种的)land, which gives way to new residential blocks, new industrial zones, new financial centers and the other inevitable signs and signatures of economic growth.This, however, is not sustainable growth pattern, especially when China has the worlds largest population to feed. So concerned urban planners are starting to note the social and physical effects of diaspora(大移居)when replaced rural communities are forced into the cities.On the other hand, a trend of thought is gradually taking shape and this is the concept of the “garden city”， a combination of country and city that is being proposed by architects and city planners. Hua Li, from Tao Architects, is among the many professionals with such a voice. His argument is supported by a longterm study on this subject. As Hua says, the answer is to preserve patches of productive farmland within urban boundaries. Less transportation means we have fresh agricultural products at lower costs and less carbon emission in the city. And urban farmland can also be showcased for agricultural tourism and education.The concept is already practiced at grass roots level.Agriculture has gone into the air, up to roof and balcony in some communities in the cities. Its common to see organic “hanging garden” on the roof of some traditional courtyard home. According to some people, the rooftop project translates into practical benefits, such as safe, nutritious vegetables and a cooler home in summer. Some say thanks to the tomatoes they plant that are natural insect killers, therere fewer mosquitoes. Apart from these, it also contributes to better bonding with neighbors. Zhang, a doctor in Beijing, began creating his hanging garden five years ago. Since his garden became home to 30 kinds of vegetables and fruitall enough to feed his family, neighbors have enjoyed dropping by for a relaxing chat or just to see how well the lovely vegetables and fruit are growing.Although people like Zhang are still rare and the greening of roof space with vegetables and fruit takes skill and energy，with more positive media exposure and advanced technology there is the prospect that garden city will become common practice in the near future. By then, cities will no longer look so gray when seen from the satellites.【语篇解读】 中国的城市化进程不断加快，这是一个我们不得不面对的现实。如果不能较好地应对，这对我们来说将是个灾难。城市和农村将如何融合共生？1Some experts suggest reinventing a “garden city” because_.Ait is the only model way to save the citiesBit helps stop destroying the rural areasCincreasing urbanization takes place in ChinaDChina has the largest population to feed解析细节理解题。根据第一段第一句的内容可知，专家提议重建花园城市是因为中国的城市化进程在不断加快。答案C2What is the purpose of Paragraph 2?ATo show the experts concern about the increase of population.BTo persuade people into supporting economic growth in cities.CTo explain the reasons for the change of ruralurban framework.DTo inform the readers of the consequences of quick urbanization.解析推理判断题。根据第二段的描述可知，中国城市化进程不断加快，由此导致可耕地的大面积减少。故第二段的目的在于告知读者城市化进程所带来的后果。答案D3In Hua Lis opinion, a combination of country and city will_.Abenefit the environment and lower living costsBbecome a project that needs a longterm studyClead to more rural communities being replacedDattract more farmers to take tours in cities解析细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句“Less transportation means we have fresh agricultural products at lower costs and less carbon emission in the city.”可知，城乡结合既保护了环境又降低了生活成本。答案A4As for the concept of the“garden city”，the writer feels_.Adesperate BhopefulCdisappointed Dconcerned解析态度意图题。根据最后一段中的“there is the prospect that garden city will become common practice in the near future”可知，作者认为花园城市的构想是可行的，在不久的将来会成为现实，故作者对此充满希望。答案B【2015高考复习】阅读理解During the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another.Understandably so.Many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything，from organized sports to music，dance and more.But we can overdo it，leaving our children feeling a little burnt out，and according to parent educator Diane Loisie，its their school work that suffers the most，“After school，if theyre busy in a number of sporting events，besides，they need to do their homework，then the time theyll feel sleepy is in the classroom.Your child needs free time.So if youre filling up that after school time，then its during the day theyre going to be taking a break.”Professor Claire McDermott agrees that theres a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away.“Relaxing time is important for children.Its time just to do the things they want to do.Children can go up to their room，or they can play around.It doesnt look like productive time；parents certainly wouldnt be saying Wow，are they ever learning things now？ But this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day.It helps a child prepare for sleep，but it also helps to understand the learning thats gone on that day.”Its hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons.After all，many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in great activities in the arts or sports is part of that.However，Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them.“When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything，then what were doing is setting them up not to be good at one thing or gain a skill.” So choose your childrens activities wisely.It may be one of the best things youve ever done for your kids and for the family drivers!【语篇解读】为了孩子的成长，父母煞费苦心，可是，这么做对孩子有益吗？艺在精而不在多，明智地为孩子选择适合他们自身的活动才是对他们最好的呵护。5What is the biggest disadvantage for children to attend too many lessons after school?AThey can get bored easily about everything.BThey might have no time to do the homework.CThey might not pay much attention to learning.DThey can not easily focus on learning during the day.解析推理判断题。结合第一段后半部分中的“then the time theyll feel sleepy is in the classroom”以及“then its during the day theyre going to be taking a break”可推知，如果孩子们放学后上太多的课，白天他们就不容易集中精力学习。答案D6What does Professor Claire McDermott think of childrens playing around?AIt is productive.BIt is a bad habit.CIt is helpful.DIt is a waste of time.解析细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句的内容可知Claire McDermott教授认为孩子们玩耍是有益处的。答案C7What is the main idea of this passage?ADont be childrens drivers after school.BLet children learn something from various subjects.CMake your children learn as much as possible.DChoose activities for your children wisely.解析主旨大意题。最后一段是对文章主题的归纳，结合本段后半部分的内容，尤其是倒数第二句可知本文意在倡导父母明智地为孩子选择活动。答案D黑龙江省大庆市喇中2016高考英语阅读练习新闻报道类Decreasing grain prices along with growing costs of production means Chinese farmers are unlikely to see a significant rise in income next year. Chinas economic planning chief Ma Kai expressed the concern as the government undertakes an ambitious program to improve rural peoples lives.Grain prices have been dropping since April; and prices of wheat, corn and rice fell 5 per cent from August to October compared with the same period last year, Ma, minister of the National Development and Reform Commission, told an annual meeting on development and reform held over the weekend. Meanwhile, prices of production materials rose 9.1 per cent year on year during the first 10 months. The situation makes it difficult to achieve a “new socialist countryside,” which was last week highlighted（引起注意）as a new concept and “common action” of the whole Party and nation. Vice-Minister of Agriculture Yin Chengjie also said Chinas entry to the World Trade Organization also creates hurdles for income rises for the countrys 780 million farmers. Farmers income is expected to increase by 5 per cent this year, hitting the target set by the central government at the beginning of this year. Last year, per capita net income（个人平均纯收入）of Chinese farmers reached 2,936 yuan (US$362), up 6.8 per cent year on year, and the highest increase since 1997. Ma also said China would continue to seek fast, steady economic growth in 2006 but more efforts will be made to deal with the challenges brought about by overheating in some industrial sectors (区域).(from China Daily, December 5, 2005)【小题1】The writer thinks it difficult to achieve a “new socialist countryside” because _.
