高考英语一轮阅读理解新编二1

山东省昌邑市2017高考英语一轮阅读理解新编二阅读理解。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。Today, ultrasonic(超声的) waves are being put to work in laboratories and factories. If an ultrasound generator is placed in a liquid, the waves move the liquid back and forth hundreds of thousands of times each second. This causes materials to mix quickly or to dissolve(使分解，使溶解) in liquids. Paint manufacturers(制造商) use ultrasound to do a better job of blending colors. The companies that make film for your camera find that mixing chemicals by the use of sound waves will produce a more sensitive film.The new lightweight(轻量的) type of washing machine uses ultrasonic waves to get clothes clean. Its special ultrasound generator is put into a pail of soapy water containing the soiled clothes. The sound waves drive the soapy water back and forth through the cloth so fast that everything is soon clean. There is also a new kind of dishwasher that works in much the same way.Ultrasonic waves can shake a liquid so fast that tiny holes form all through it. The liquid is actually torn apart by this action. Almost as soon as these holes are made, they fall together again. The result is a powerful pounding action. In the dairy industry this is used for the double purpose of making homogenized(使均匀，使匀质) milk and sterilizing(使无菌) it at the same time. If you look at some raw milk with a microscope, you find that it is made up of little drops of butter fat floating around in a watery liquid. In order to make milk easier to digest, these fat droplets(微粒) may be broken up by forcing the milk through very small openings. The result is called homogenized milk. When the ultrasonic method is used, the sound waves not only break up the droplets but also kill the germs in the milk by pounding them to pieces. 1. Why does a paint manufacturer use ultrasound to do a better job of blending colors?A. Because it is cheap to use ultrasound to blend colors.B. Because the waves move the liquid so quickly that it can make materials mix quickly or dissolve in liquids.C. Because they can mix chemicals by the use of sound waves.D. Because the waves can clean the paint.2. What properties does ultrasound wave have?A. Homogenizes and sterilizes the milk. B. Mix materials and break droplets.C. Kill germs and sterilize milk. D. Move liquids quickly.3. What exists in the raw milk?A. Little drops of butter fat. B. Small holes.C. Fat droplets and germs. D. Chemicals.4. Where is ultrasound wave not used?A. In the paint manufacture. B. In the shop mixing bread flour.C. In the film-making company. D. In the dairy industry.1.

A newspaper reporter interviewed him why he was able to be so much more creative than the average person. What set him so far apart from others? He responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he dropped the slippery bottle, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floora real sea of milk!When his mother came into the kitchen，instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up？”Indeed, the boy did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. How would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵)，a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer？” He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.His mother then said，“You know，what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Lets go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can find a way to carry it without dropping it. ”The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could make it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didnt need to be afraid to make mistakes.当记者采访一位富有创造性的杰出科学家为什么他与众不同时，这位科学家说这一切源于2岁时妈妈给他上的一课，从中我们可以意识到孩提时代的教育方法的重要性。1When the mother found the kitchen floor covered with milk, she _.A. gave the boy a lecture instead of shouting at himB. praised the boy instead of punishing himC. felt satisfied with the boys trying to help himselfD. calmed down the boy and helped him find a way to clean the floor答案：D。事实细节题。由第三、四、五段的内容可知，妈妈看到牛奶洒了一地后，首先安慰那个男孩让他镇定下来，然后帮助他找到清洁地板的方法并找到最终解决怎样用一双小手拿稳瓶子的方法，故选D。2The childs experience resulted in the following BUT _.A. offering the boy a chance to grasp the bottleB. benefiting the boy all his lifeC. helping the boy be more creativeD. making the boy realize the mistake is of value答案：A。推理判断题。由第一段和第二段可知当这位富有创造性的科学家被采访到他为何富有创造性时，他说起两岁时的一次经历可以推断出这件事启迪了他的创造性同时也使他终生受益可知B、C正确；由尾段可推知他通过这次经历意识到了错误的价值，故只有A项不是那次经历导致的结果，故答案选A。3According to the passage, the way the scientists mother used is _.A. instructive B. strictC. formal D. strange答案：A。推理判断题。通读文章可知妈妈的方法具有教育性、启发性和指导意义。故选A。4The purpose of the passage is to show _.A. a usual way to cultivate a childB. a scientists medical achievementsC. a mothers wise way of helping her childD. the advantages of making mistakes答案：C。推理判断题。总览文章可知作者的目的和意图是展示妈妈帮助孩子的明智的方法，故选C。【2014高考训练】 Every day we are adding more and more vacation ideas，destinations，tours, and articlesAs you explore our website，you will find there is an ever-growing collection of things that will help make your vacation easier and more affordable We change our featured destinations very frequently so be sure to keep coming back to see what new ideas we have for your family vacationWe feature a different state，park, and city destination on the front page of the websiteThese change frequently, so be sure to sign up for our newsletter so you can be sure to keep up with all the new information Another great feature we are offering is Guest ArticlesThese may come from a travel professional，author, parent or child about their travel ideas or offersThese informative articles are great to read and are perfect for discovering valuable tips and tricks for malting travel less stressfulPlus，in many articles you will discover some hidden gems(珍品)that you probably miss if you did not know about them One of the best things about our website is our ability to get you discounted Tours and Attraction Passes to the places you want to go mostThis is a fantastic way to plan ahead and have your tours and passes paid for and pick them up before you leave your homeNow that is a helpful way to goThese programs can save you over 50of what you could expect to pay when you arriveAnd，we are adding new tours and programs every weekBe sure to check it out You can be sure we are working hard for you so that you can relax on your vacation.
