高考英语一轮复习 暑假阅读理解基础题11

河南浚县2017高考英语暑假阅读理解基础题阅读理解。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。Ive spent over a year in India, and in those 365 plus days, Ive learned a lot about getting around Indian cities. My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated, particularly by taxi and rickshaw(人力车)drivers, but that doesnt mean those are bad ways to travel, as long as you know what youre doing. Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi, India, and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams(欺诈). Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are, if you arrive in Delhi by plane, as soon as you make it through customs, youll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers. At the Delhi airport, be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths. One is inside the airport, and one is outside. The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police, rather than by independent taxi drivers. Rickshaws are one of my favorite ways to get around Indian cities, in part because its how the locals often travel. Auto-rickshaws are more common, but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi. If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw, you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees. Auto-rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees, depending on distance. If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals, take a public bus. Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning. They are, however, very cheap. A bus trip wont set you back any more than 15 rupees, as long as you stay within the city limits. Since Indian buses get so crowded, try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat. The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi. Fares are reasonable, between 6 and 22 rupees. All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English, and tokens can be purchased for between 6 and 22 rupees. 【文章大意】本文作者对于在印度德里旅行时提出了几点交通方面的建议。1.

The addition of a leap second （闰秒） , is to keep our clocks in time with the slowing of Earth s rotation （旋转） and astronomical time as measured by the sun.Just one extra second could affect the way computers and websites work, however. When the last leap second was added back in 2012, the community website Reddit crashed. For Reddit, the problem was that a Linux system got confused when it checked the network time and found an extra second.Speaking to Wired about the problem back in 2012, Linux creator Linus Torvalds commented:“Almost every time we have a leap second, we find something. It s really annoying, because it s code that is almost never used, and thus not tested by users under their normal conditions. ”Companies have thought of their own solutions, and Google s“leap smear”may be the best- known example. As company engineer Christopher Pascoe explains in a blog post, companies usually try to turn back the clocks by one second at the end of the day so that they play that second again. However, Pascoe believes this creates problems. He asked:“Does email that comes in during that second get stored correctly?”Google has a solution: Cut the extra second into milliseconds and then put these tiny amounts of time into the system throughout the day.“This means that when it became time to add an extra second at midnight.”Says Pascoe.“Our clocks have already taken this into account over the course of the day.”For many companies without Google s money, however, the leap second will likely still cause some crashes.32. Why do we need to add a leap second?A. To change the world s atomic clocks.B. To keep atomic clocks in time with the world s computers.C. To keep atomic clocks in time with the slowing of Earth s rotation.D. To record the changes to astronomical time.33. What happened to the website Reddit when the leap second was added in 2012?A. It crashed because of a virus attack.B. Its network time added two extra seconds.C. All of the code in its Linux system went wrong.D. One of its software systems got confused and the site broke down.34. How do companies usually deal with the problem of the extra second?A. By shutting down computers at the end of the day.B. By stopping receiving emails during that second.C. By turning the clocks back by one second at the end of the day.D. By cutting the extra second into milliseconds and putting them into the system throughout the day.35. What s Pascoe s attitude toward Google s solution to the problem?A. Ambiguous. B. Approving. C. Doubtful. D. Cautious.参考答案3235、CDCB阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。Maggie was very glad that James was not a frequent visitor to the house. So far as the children were concerned, they had a mystery about him that stirred their imagination. He stirred Maggies anger, however, so that she often said to her husband, “Its mercy that brother of yours doesnt come oftener.” In fact James came once a year, unexpectedly, around eight oclock in the evening, and he stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother. His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be delayed. Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them. He took no notice of them, as if he was unable to see children, at least until the time came for him to go. Instead, after his first greeting and a careless kiss, James took no notice of Maggie either, except to add, “Youll be getting on with the supper, Maggie.” Such was his regard for her. Maggie paid him back in her own way. She kept the children up, the four of them, to keep her company, she said, but of course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of Jamess voice. Very late, they dropped off to sleep in their chairs. Then, when James was about to go, Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction, for James, though rich, was mean. He always went home by the last train, just after two oclock. Maggies children secretly stared at their uncle. They could not forget that he had, in their mothers words, “lost two wives and taken a third, ” They wondered about those two unfortunate lost ladies. They asked each other what their fate had been, and if neither could ever be found again. James never brought his third wife with him nor ever mentioned her. The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the door. 11. The underlined word “mercy” in the text most probably means _. A. loss B. wonder C. lucky thing D. terrible thing 12. Maggie never prepared anything special for James because _. A. he was a man difficult to please B. she never knew when he was coming C. she was too busy looking after her children D. he never stayed long enough for a meal 13. What do we know about James behavior? A. He was a kind man, with love for the family. B. He was generous, especially towards his brother. C. He was anxious to please the family, especially the kids. D. He was rude to his sister-in-law. 14. Maggie felt pleased when _. A. she paid James the money that she owed him B. James gave some money to the children C. she had to wake James up to catch his train D. James thanked her for the nice supper 15. The children did not realize that two of James wives _. A. had been dead B. suffered from loss of memory C. had run away from him D. might appear again one day【答案与解析】本文讲Maggie和她的孩子们对他们的叔叔James来访的不欢迎。11. C。词义猜测题。Maggie不喜欢James的来访, 由此可以说他不常来是一件幸运的事，所以答案为C。12. B。事实细节题。根据 In fact James came once a year, unexpectedly可知答案为B。13. D。推理判断题。根据 except to add, “Youll be getting on with the supper, Maggie.” Such was his regard for her可知他对Maggie的态度不是很友好，故答案为D。14. B。推理判断题。根据 Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction可知答案为B。15. A。推理判断题。根据 They wondered about those two unfortunate lost ladies可知答案为A。【广东省揭阳市2014高考英语一模试题】 I was interested to read a newspaper article about a new concept in old peoples homes in France. The idea is simple, but revolutionarycombining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children, and if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle(拥抱). There are trips out and birthday parties too. The advantages are enormous for everyone concerned. The children are happy because they get a lot more individual attention, and respond well because someone has time for them. They see illness and death and learn to accept them. The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around and they take more interest in their appearance too. Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care for aging relations, families that have moved away, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the result is the sameincreasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. And more old people who are lonely and feel useless, along with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support. Its a major problem in many societies. Thats why intergenerational programmes, designed to bring the old and the young together, are growing in popularity all over the world. There are examples of successful attempts all over the world. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another, perhaps reading with children who need extra attention.36.

A number of assistants are employed to take care of the children.B. The new concept benefits both the elderly and the children.C.

The reason why the old and the young are separated. B. The support children need.C. One reason why children dont live with their grandparents. D. The problem that the old and the young are separated.39. What does the “intergenerational programmes” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Combining elderly homes with nursery schools.B. Letting the children and the residents eat together.C. Asking young people to teach IT skills to older people.D. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools.40.
