广西来宾市2017高考英语一轮阅读理解专练27【2016高考训练题】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。 As with every other invasive（入侵的）species, introducing worms to an ecosystem（生态系统）that developed without them has an effect on everything that lives there. This concern is very clear in the Great Lakes region. Non native earthworms（蚯蚓）have been in North America for a couple hundred years, brought over from Europe with soils and plants. More recently, Asian species, sold as fishing bait（饵料）, have started to spread in the Great Lakes region, where there are no native earthworms.In these earthworm-free forests, when leaves fall onto the forest floor and plants and animals die, they build up into whats called the duff（腐殖质）layer. In this area, it was just bacteria that broke down the organic material for plants to consume and take up. Earthworms come in, they do their job and do it extremely well they take that forest floor and turn it into the rich black soil you find in your garden.That sounds great-but the local plants and animals in the Great Lakes region are used to living with the duff layer, not in the rich soil associated with earthworms. In addition, the rich top soil left by earthworms can wash out in a heavy rain. The differently produced soil is a problem as well. Theres a mat of fine roots in that duff layer-thats where a lot of our native plants put their root system. When that duff is gone, its a lot harder for them to put their roots into the mineral（矿物质的）soil. 1. What is the authors attitude towards the work of invasive earthworms ?A. Supportive. B. Worried. C. Doubtful. D. Respectful.2. How does the Asian species affect the ecosystem of the Great Lakes Region? A. By changing the soil. B. By Killing the native species. C. By eating the native plants. D. By serving as fishing bait.3. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about _. A. Asian earthworms work is helpful to the roots of the native plants. B. The native plants have finally adapted to the rich black soil. C. The Asian earthworms caused great problems for the local plants. D. The local plants find it easy to put their roots into the mineral soil. 本文讲述了作为鱼饵被引入到美洲五大湖区的亚洲蚯蚓由于改变了当地的土壤环境，而影响当地植物的生长，破坏了生态环境。1. B.从开头作者就谈到把蚯蚓引到一个无蚯蚓生态区会对生活在那里的万物产生影响。第二段开头又提到。这种担心在五大湖区是显而易见的。因此作者字里行间流露出对亚洲蚯蚓带来的生态影响的担心。2. A.从第三段可知，在没有蚯蚓的森林中，落叶和动物尸体会堆积成腐殖层，它们是由细菌来分解成可供给植物来吸收的成分的。蚯蚓到来后，它们把地表的腐殖层(特点是:因为是落叶腐烂形成的，所以松软，植物容易扎根。)变成了肥沃的黑土，即第四段中所讲的the mineral soil(矿物质层)(特点是:因为被蚯蚓消化分解后的腐叶实质上已经变成了颗粒团状粪便，比腐殖质要有粘性，坚硬)，从第四段最后两句可知，而这使得习惯了在腐殖质土层植根的当地植物很难在矿物质土层中扎根，植物不能很好的生长了，自然会导致生态系统的破坏。3. C.最后一段从腐殖质土壤被改变，新形成的矿物质土壤易流失，和当地植物很难在矿物质土层中扎根等三个方面论述了亚洲蚯蚓对五大湖区生态的影响。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。【2013潍坊5月模拟】“Oh，you must have been a spoiled (宠坏的) kid.You must be really bossy.I wonder what youre going to be like to deal with？” Thats often the response Angela Hult gets when people find out shes an only child，she told ABC News.Despite such negative (消极的) remarks，Hult has decided to have only one child herself.And shes not alone.According to the US Office for National Statistics，women approaching the end of their childbearing years had an average of 1.9 children in 2004，compared with 3.1 for their counterparts in 1976.The percentage of onechild families in Britain had risen from 18 percent in 1972 to 26 percent in 2007.But even though only children are becoming increasingly common，the traditional view that theyre selfish，spoiled and lack social skills holds strong.Even parents of only children，like Hult，are made to feel guilty about having only one child.Worried that theyre being selfish and endangering their childs future，they flock to online discussion forums seeking advice.Soon，however，they ask themselves：is this social prejudice really reasonable?“There have been hundreds and hundreds of research studies that show that only children are no different from their peers (同龄人)，” Susan Newman，a social psychologist at Rutgers University in the US，told ABC News.This raises another question：why are only children still viewed with such suspicion?“There is a belief thats been around probably since humans first existed that to have just one child is somehow dangerous，both for you and for the continuation of your race，” Toni Falbo，a professor of educational psychology，told the Guardian.“In the past a lot of children died.Youd have had to be crazy to only have one.”Times，of course，have changed and infant mortality (婴儿死亡率) has largely reduced.So what do only children themselves say?Kayley Kravitz，a blogger for The Huffington Post，grew up as an only child and highly recommends the experience.“Being an only child taught me the most valuable skill of all：the ability to be alone，” she said.1Which of the following could be the best title for the text?AAre only children lonely?BAre only children common?CAre only children dangerous?DAre only children different?2What does Susan Newman mean?A Only children are as good as their peers.BOnly children are more selfish and spoiled.CParents feel guilty about having only one child.DParents will endanger their only childs future.3What is the common belief since human existed?AThe infant death rate always stays high.BPeople are crazy to have only one child.CIts easy for only children to earn their living.DIts hard to continue the family line with only one child.4An only child like Kayley_.Amust be difficult to persuade Bcan possibly learn to be aloneCshould value special skills Dneed ignore bad experience5Whats the authors attitude towards having only one child?ANeutral.BNegative.CPositive.DDoubtful.语篇解读本文是一篇议论文。尽管在英国越来越多的孩子都是独生子女，但很多人对独生子女的看法却依然如故，认为他们自私、娇气、缺少社交技能。对此，独生子女们有他们的看法。1解析：标题概括题。本文主要讨论了独生子女是否就是英国传统观念中的自私、娇气，缺少社交技能的人，所以D项最适合做文章的标题，故选D。答案：D2解析：细节理解题。根据第四段Susan

seemed a bit disappointing to reach ones life peak at only 22 years of age，but in her opinion，college had been one of the best times in my life so far.I made friends，took classes，and learned a great deal about myself.But I was also excited for the time after collegemoving to a new city，starting a new job，and becoming a “real” person.I hoped that my great dreams were practical.Then，last week I read a column in Real Simple Magazine called 100 Years of Attitude，in which women 100 years or older shared their life experiences and views.I noticed that none of them considered college as the “best” time of their life.Not all of them went to college，but still in most cases their teens and twenties were not the best times of their life.They said some of their favorite times were raising their children，traveling after retirement，and even enjoying their present time and age.Enjoying ones present time and age was a clear theme of the interviews.A piece of advice given by the women was about the importance of making the best of all situations.I think it more accurate than that of my friend；I can say with certainty that if I am lucky enough to make it to 100.I refuse to spend the last 80 years of my life plummeting (跌落) downhill，or even leveling off.I am sure that our eagerness and devotion will make us college students live a meaningful life.We will not just look backwards or

And making that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want,which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner,Brian Bell. Their building is a former automobile electrical-parts firm in Atlanta. From the outside,it looks too old,even something horrible,but open the door and you are in a wide,open courtyard,lined on three sides with rusting (生锈的)walls.In 2000,Yocum and Bell found this building in the citys West End. Built in 1947,the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But the price was right,so Yocum bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition (拆除),pulling rubbish out through the roof,because it was too dangerous to go inside the building. The demolition was hard work,but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do,and“to treasure what was therethe walls,the rust,the light. “ Yocum said. “Every season,more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. Its like an art installation (装置)in therea slow-motion show. “Since the back building had been constructed without windows,an all-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyard,and skylights were installed in the roof. The back of the building is a working area and a living room for Yocum and his wife. A sort of buffer (缓冲) zone between the front and the back contains a bathroom,a kitchen and a mechanical room,and the walls that separate these zones have openings that allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond.Yocum and Bell,who have just completed an art gallery for the city,feel that the experience from the decoration of their building,focusing on the inside rather than the outside,has influenced their work. It has also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less.1. According to the passage,it isfor most young architects in big cities to work in a building of their own.A. easyB. unnecessaryC. unrealisticD. common2. Yocum bought the old building because.A. it was a bargain to him B. it was still in good conditionC. it was located in the city center D. it looked attractive from the outside3. Working on the old building,Yocum and Bell.A. pulled rubbish out through the roofB. removed the skylights from the bathroomC. presented a slow-motion show in an art galleryD. built a kitchen at the back part of the old building4. It can be inferred from the passage that Yocum and Bell.A. benefited a lot from pulling down the roofB. turned more old buildings into art galleriesC. got inspiration from decorating their old buildingD. paid more attention to the outside of the art gallery5. The main idea of the passage is that.A. people can learn a lot from their failuresB. it is worthwhile to spend money on an old buildingC. people should not judge things by their appearanceD. creative people can make the best of what they have【参考答案】1-5 、CAACD
