四川平武县2017高考英语阅读理解训练（一）【科普知识型-阅读理解】Its a common belief that over time, pet owners start to look like their animals, and vice versa. Now comes the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and copy their behaviour.Next time you reach for your fridge, think twice. If your kitty is watching, she is likely to overeat as well.What is your cats IQ?In a new study from the University of Messina, it turns out that indoor cats who live closely to their owners “mirror” the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, and can even become more or less social depending on the behaviour of their owners.“Cats are intelligent animals with a long memory, ”Jane Brunt, the executive director of the Catalyst Council, told Discovery News. “They watch and learn from us, noting the patterns of our actions, knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door thats been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting areas are.”Because cats copy our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding(搜刮)the fridge, your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why “human and cat overweight rates often seem to match”So, if you feel guilty about leaving your precious kitty at home while you go to work, now you can feel even worse：you are making your cat fat!Theres no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to yoga will benefit your cat, but based on the study, it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping schedule is best for both of you.Theres a lot we can learn from our cats in return. “When they sit on our laps softly purring with rhythmic breathing and halfclosed eyes, the sense of peace and calm that comes over us is like a private lesson in inner meditation，”Brunt said. Sure. But cats dont have to sit in rush hour traffic for an hour a day or worry about their inlaws. Theyre probably pretty good at remaining calm.So, according to science, even though we assume that cats are not close to us all these years, it turns out they are in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh?1According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?ACats can copy humans schedule.BHumans can learn from cats in some way.CCats are smart and have a long memory.DGreen tea and yoga can benefit cats.2What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 5 refer to?AHumans keeping searching the fridge.BCats going to their owners for food.CCats copying humans habit of looking for food.DHumans leaving cats home while working.3What can we learn from our cats?ATo remain calm. BTo be able to copy.CTo stay proud. DTo look up to friends.4The best title for the passage could be “_”AYour cat can bring you pleasure BYou are copying your catCYou can make your cat social DYour cat is copying your habit【要点综述】本文是一篇有关养宠物猫的科普文章。宠物猫和主人待的时间长了会模仿主人的习惯，而人也能从猫身上学习一些好的习惯。1D推理判断题。根据文章的“Theres no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to yoga will benefit your cat”可知D项错误。2C词义指代题。根据画线这一段的内容可知this 指代的是猫会模仿主人搜刮冰箱的习惯。故选C项。3A细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段内容，特别是最后一句“Theyre probably pretty good at remaining calm.”可知A项正确。4D主旨大意题。本文是一篇有关养宠物猫的科普文章。宠物猫和主人待的时间长了会模仿主人的习惯，而人也能从猫身上学习一些好的习惯。故选D项。2014训练题 I want to talk about the economyNot the economy we hear about endlessly in the news each day and in politicians speechesI want to talk about the real economy, the one we live in day by day Most people arent particularly interested in the economyShare prices are flying high; interest rates are soaring; the Dow Jones Index closed sixty-three points down on 847235 We hear this and subconsciously switch off Notice that the economy is not the same as the economy, The economy is what men in suits play with to make vast personal wealthThe economy is where the rest of us live on a daily basis, earning our living, paying our taxes, and purchasing the necessities of life The term economic expansion suggests something desirable, but expansion simply means spending more moneyMore spending doesnt mean that life is getting betterWe all know it often means the opposite - greed, crime, poverty, pollutionMore spending merely feeds our whole economic system, which is based on production and consumptionUnless money keeps circulating, the economy breaks downIf we dont keep consuming, the whole system goes into stalemate（僵局）How do we break the cycle and make some changes?

Every step seemed tiring, and every step was another to survive. As I looked up into the sky I thought about how my grandmother had left me, and my anger began to return. I was annoyed by the loss, and my belief in God was beginning to fade. I couldnt understand why these things happened. So as I stood in a public parking lot a million questions formed in my mind. Why did this happen to me? Arent we supposed to get signs from the people that pass on? Why did I not feel her presence anymore? Is there a heaven?Suddenly, a woman driving right by my side rolled down her window and distracted my unanswered thoughts. “Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me,” she said loudly. Thinking she was going to ask for my parking spot, I simply pointed to my car. The thought of having to say where my car was seemed like too much to bear. “No, excuse me,” she said again.At this point, I felt I had no choice but to see what this annoying lady wanted. As I got closer, I was startledwas this my grandmothers nurse, Adu, who lived with her during her final months? I soon realized that she wasnt, although the resemblance was unusual. Then, I realized that this Adu was searching for something in her bag. Surprisingly, I was overcome by a sense of relief that led me to be patient the entire time the lady was searching. Others would be nervous by a stranger reaching in their bag, but I wasnt. She finally reached to the very bottom of her bag and handed me a three-page booklet. “It looks like you need this,” she said calmly with a warm smile on her face.I looked down at the mysterious and obviously used booklet and on the front cover in big bold letters read “What Hope for Dead Loved Ones?”It took me only a few seconds to comprehend the exchange with this woman, but by the time I looked up, she was gone.I walked slowly into my car holding the tiny little book that was given to me with fear that it would fly away in the wind. I didnt know what it was exactly, but I knew that if my grandmother had anything to do with that I didnt want to let it go.I felt a sense of relaxation as I opened the first page. It explained how people pass on, but their spirit remains with us. This was the first time since my grandma had passed that I felt her with me, just like I had wanted. I didnt know whether to laugh or cry, but I did know that I finally felt happiness from the surprising change in events.I couldnt, and still cant, believe what had happened to me on that day. I dont remember the specific details that you usually hear about like what the person was wearing, the time of day, or even the weather, but it doesnt matter. It was a random day in November when my life turned back around and I began to feel hope again. It was real. It was a miracle. And, Ill remember it for the rest of my life.51.
