浙江松阳县2017高考英语一轮阅读理解九月编习题阅读理解。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。Americas population was booming and spreading west in the early 1800s. Westward expansion came mostly at the expense of the Indians who were often forced to move from their native lands.In the state of Georgia, the population increased 600 percent in the matter of 40 years. As a result, many of its native tribes(部落) were pushed out. The Cherokee Indians, of western Georgia had managed to keep their land until gold was discovered in their territory in 1828. In 1830, however, president Andrew Jackson authorized (批准) the Indian Removal Act. The Cherokees fought the law, and it was overturned by chief justice John Marshall two years later.Just three years later, however, in 1835, the Treaty of New Echota was signed. The Treaty was not authorized by the Cherokee Nation, but rather, a small group of Cherokee radicals led by John Ridge. Under the Treaty, the Cherokee were to leave Georgia and the government would compensate them at a price determined to be about 5 percent of the value of the land. The majority of the Cherokee Nation would never had agreed to the Treaty, but the U.S. government ratified it anyway. John Ridge was thus seen as a traitor by the Cherokees - and would later pay with his life. The Georgia government then staged a land lottery in which Cherokee land was divided into 160 equal portions. They were sold to anyone who had $4.00 and who had won a chance to own land. In 1838, General Winfield Scott and 7,000 troops invaded Cherokee land. Men, women, and children were forced to walk westward from Georgia nearly 1,000 miles with minimal facilities and food, to reservations set up for them in Oklahoma. Cherokee chief John Ross, eventually was able to convince Winfield Scott that his people should lead the tribe west. Scott agreed and Ross divided the people into smaller groups so they could forage for food on their own. Although Ross may have save countless lives, nearly 4,000 Indians died walking this Trail of Tears. 1. Which of the following happened first?A. Cherokees walk to Oklahoma.B. The Indian Removal Act.C. The Treaty of New Echota.D. The Georgia “Land Lottery”.2. The underlined part “ratified it” (in Para. 3) can be replaced by “ ”.A. made it officialB. signed it secretlyC. removed itD. ignored it3. Why was John Ridge viewed as a traitor by the Cherokees?A. Because he sold his land to the U.S.Government at a low price.B. Because he represented the U.S. Govermment.C. Because he signed an unfair treaty for the Cherokees.D. Because he carried out a “land lottery” in Georgia.4. According to the passage, what is the key factor for the “Trail of Tears”?A. The conflict between the Cherokees and the local government.B. The increase of population in the state of Georgia.C. The constant struggle for land between the native Americans and the settlers.D. The discovery of gold in western Gerogia.1、答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节题。由文章第二段倒数第二句话 “In 1830, however, president Andrew Jackson authorized the Indian Removal Act.”可知，B选项发生在1830年；由第三段第一句话 “Just three years later, however, in 1835, the Treaty of New Echota was signed.”可知，C选项发生在1835年；由第三段倒数第二句话 “The Georgia government then staged a land lottery in which Cherokee land was divided into 160 equal portions.”可知，D选项发生在Treaty of New Echota后; 由最后一段前两句话 “ In 1838, General Winfield Scott and 7,000 troops invaded Cherokee land. set up for them in Oklahoma.”可知，A选项发生在最后。故答案为B。2、答案解析：答案为A。本题为语义推断题。结合该短语出现的句子 “The majority of the Cherokee Nation would never had agreed to the Treaty, but the U.S. government ratified it anyway.”, “ratified it” 出现在 “but” 后面，可见该短语和前面的never had agreed to the “Treaty 意思相反，故答案为A，使条约正式化。3、答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。细读第三段，Treaty of New Echota被签署，但不是经过Cherokee 民族批准的，而是由John Ridge领导的一小群Cherokee极端分子干的，规定Cherokee民族离开Georgia，政府赔偿给他们原有土地的百分之五，大多数Cherokee 人并不同意该条约，但是美国政府最终还是批准了该条约，因此John Ridge被认为是Cherokee的民族叛徒。故答案为C。4、答案解析：答案为D。本题为推理题。文章的最后提到 “nearly 4,000 Indians died walking this Trail of Tears”， 为什么会发生此事？本题实际考察现象背后的实质：Cherokee 印第安人为什么要移民？由文章第二段 “The Cherokee Indians, of western Georgia had managed to keep their land until gold was discovered in their territory in 1828.” 可知，western Georgia 发现了金子后，白人就觊觎此片土地淘金，发生了后来的移民事件，留下了Cherokee 印第安人的血和泪。故答案为D。2016高考英语*阅读理解。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。“Yes, Ill be ready at nine in the morning.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.。We have entered a new age of embedded(嵌入式的), intuitive(直觉的) computing in which our homes, cars, stores, farms, and factories have the ability to think, sense, understand, and respond to our needs. Its not science fiction, but the dawn of a new age.Most people might not realize it yet, but we are already feeling the impact of whats known as the third wave of computing. In small but significant ways it is helping us live healthier and more secure lives. If you drive a 2014 Mercedes Benz, for example, an “intelligent” system tries to keep you from hitting a pedestrian. A farmer in Nigeria relies on weather sensors that communicate with his mobile device. Forgot your medicine? A new pill bottle from AdhereTech reminds you through text or automatic phone messages that its time to take a pill.Technology is being integrated(融入) into our natural behaviors, with real-time data connecting our physical and digital worlds. With this dramatic shift in our relationship to technology, companies can adapt their products and services.To understand how revolutionary the third wave is, we ought to consider how far we have come. The first wave began when companies started to manage their operations through mainframe computer systems over 50 years ago. Then computing got “personal” in the 1980s and the 1990s with the introduction of the PC (personal computer). For the most part, computing remained immobile and lacked contextual awareness.In computings second wave, mobile computing and the smartphone took center stage. Billions of people, some of whom might not have had access to clean water, electricity, or even housing, were connected. Developers created applications and provided consumers with access to just about everything through their phone at the cost of a monthly data plan.As the third wave keeps developing, designers must meet the demands of consumers who want to experiment with new technology.Historically, designers have focused their attention on a products form and function. While that still matters, of course, the definition of a meaningful user experience has expanded significantly and will continue to do so. Instead of creating a single product, designers will need to imagine a series of connected products and services that have awareness of each other and their surroundings.74. Why are three examples given in Paragraph 2? A. To tell us that human beings are smarter and smarter. B. To illustrate the importance and necessity of technology. C. To prove that we are living healthier and more secure lives. D. To show the impact of the third wave of computing on our life.75. In the first wave of computing _. A. companies operations were reliable on computer systems B. computing had awareness of peoples needs in the context C. people could have access to computing almost everywhere D. it was possible for people to experience computing at home76. Which of the following is a situation in the third wave of computing? A. Theres no need to create a single product. B. The definition of the user experience is more significant. C. Products and services are not independent of each other. D. The products form and functions are no longer important.77. What can we conclude from the passage about the new age we are facing?A. Theres a shift of attention from peoples physical worlds to their digital worlds. B. Theres closer relationship between technology and peoples natural behaviours.C. People live more happily with the convenience brought by advanced technology.D. People become lazier with the products that can think and respond to their needs.【参考答案】73. A74. D75. D 76. C77. B
