2019年高考英语二轮复习 专题三 阅读理解 第三节 题组训练 9 人物介绍+科普知识+环境保护+时文报道(xx河西区二模)How did one man prove that small kindnesses add up?My family first met Wally Urtz,the gentle,modest manager of our local supermarket,on a windy day nearly 20 years ago just after wed moved to Hastings-on-Hudson,a New York City suburb.As my wife made her way to the stores exit,attending her groceries and two small children,Wally rushed up beside her.“Ill get those,young lady,” he said brightly,taking her bags and leading her to the parking lot.Now that may seem like no big dealexcept that these days things like that so seldom happen.Our story,as it turned out,was typical.Among Hastingss 8,000 people living here,almost everybody had at least one about Wallys politeness and generosity.There were the times hed reach into his own pocket when someone was short of money;the times hed show small kindnesses to someone whod just lost a loved one or who was in the middle of divorce;the many,many times hed put himself out for older people.“He just appreciated that when people get older,their lives get smallerthey dont drive,their friends have passed onand how much it means to be treated warmly,” one woman,Kathy Dragan said.“When my mother was in her 80s,it was a treat for her to go to the store.” Wally would call out to the shop clerk and say,“You give her whatever attention she needs.” Shed tell me,“Hes kinder to me than some people Ive known all my life.”Yet few of us fully understood what Wally meant to the peoples life of our munityuntil he was sent to another store 20 miles away.For some unknown reason,the Food Emporium chain had decided to replace 67-year-old Wally after 26 years due to “operational issues related to operating a store the size of the one in Hastings”No one could believe it.Word spread quickly.Neighbors called each other seeking the feeling of emotional fort.Some planned to bring Wally back and staged protest marches outside the store.Others flooded the local newspaper with angry letters.The mayor took up the cause.Even the police tried to set things right.A grocer seems an unlikely figure to set off such an emotional outpouring(流露)What he did shows the remarkable effect Wallya man of endless warmth and good humorhad on people.语篇解读本文描写了Wally Urtz先生无私地关心周围的人,尤其是老年人的事迹,以及大家对他的感恩和拥护。1According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?AWally Urtz is always

of the huge amount of wind energy available in nature to produce clean energy.Apart from this,studies are being carried out to harness(利用) usable wind energy produced by man-made technologies.One useful source identified by Indian inventor Santosh Pradhan about two years ago is a speeding train,which produces fierce wind that can be transformed into electricity.According to Pradhans proposal,with a few small improvements in existing trains running in Mumbai,the largest city in India,at least 10,000 megawatts(兆瓦) of electricity could be harvested each day.Building on this principle,designers Ale Leonetti Luparinia and Qian Jiang from Yanko Design have created a device(装置) called T-Box that harnesses wind energy from speeding trains.T-Box can be placed within the railway tracks.It is half-buried underground between the concrete sleepers(水泥枕木),which does not disturb the normal train operating at all.According to Yanko,around 150 T-Boxes can be fitted along a 1,000-meter railway track.A train running at a speed of 200 kph can produce winds blowing at 15 miles a second.Based on this calculation,150 T-Boxes can produce 2.6 KWH of electricity per day.The T-Boxs design won a silver medal in last years Lite-On Awards and was exhibited last summer at the Xue Xue Institute in Taipei,Taiwan Province.Though the figures look impressive,it is important to remember that the design is still at a conceptual stage and hasnt taken into account issues such as pieces of waste material produced by the device and the efforts and costs involved in the maintenance(维护) of the device.We can expect the technology to see the light of the day only after it clears these issues.If so,rail travel,one of the greenest forms of travel,will bee greener and more energy-efficient.语篇解读本文介绍了一种新的装置TBox的发明,它可以利用加速行驶的列车提取风能。如果能投入实际应用,它可以让我们的出行变得更环保和更有效。11What can we learn about T-Box?AIt will be fitted on the trains.BIt is based on Pradhans idea.CIt can turn electricity into light.DIt was invented by an Indian scientist.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第三段的内容“According to Pradhans proposal,with a few small improvements in existing trains running in Mumbai.”及第四段中的“Building on this principle.”可知这个装置是基于Pradhan的想法,故选B项。12How much electricity can be produced per day by T-Boxes along a railway track of 100km?A260 KWH. B2.6 KWH.C150 KWH. D1.5 KWH.答案A解析数字计算题。根据第五段最后一句“According to Yanko,around 150 T-Boxes can be fitted along a 1,000-meter railway track.”和第六段第二句“Based on this calculation,150 T-Boxes can produce 2.6 KWH of electricity per day.”可知是2.6乘以100,故选A项。13It can be concluded from the last two paragraphs that .AT-Box has proved to be effective in harvesting windBthe maintenance of T-Box will be costlyCthere is much to do about T-BoxDT-Box will e into use soon答案C解析段落大意题。根据最后两段尤其是倒数第二段第一句“Though the figures look impressive,it is important to remember that the design is still at a conceptual stage.”虽然这个数字是很可观的,但要记住这个设计仍处在概念阶段,故还有很多工作要做,故选C项。14According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?AThe Indian inventor Santosh Pradhan invented the speeding train.BThe T-Boxs design won a silver medal in Lite-On Awards last year.CRail travel has bee one of the energy-efficient technologies in the world.DIndia harvests 10,000 megawatts of electricity each day on average.答案B解析细节理解题。根据倒数第三段第三句“The T-Boxs design won a silver medal in last years Lite-On Awards and was exhibited last summer at the Xue Xue Institute in Taipei,Taiwan Province.”可知这个设计在去年的光宝创新奖获得银奖,故选B项。15The passage is mainly written to .Aencourage more people to travel by trainBexplain the advantages of electricityCtell readers how to save energy and moneyDintroduce a new invention to readers答案D解析写作目的题。通读全文知,作者主要向我们介绍了一种新的发明T-Box,此装置可以利用加速行驶的列车提取风能。 故选D项。D(xx河西区一模)In the past,falling oil prices have given a boost to the world economy,but recent forecasts for global growth have been toned down(不容乐观),even as oil prices sink lower and lower.Does that mean the link between lower oil prices and growth has weakened?Some experts say there are still good reasons to believe cheap oil should heat up the world economy.Consumers have more money in their pockets when theyre paying less at the pump.They spend that money on other things,which stimulates the economy.The biggest gains go to countries that import most of their oil like China,Japan,and India.But doesnt the extra money in the pockets of those countries consumers mean an equal loss in oil-producing countries,cancelling out the gains?“Not necessarily,”says economic researcher Sara Johnson.“Many oil producers built up huge reserve funds when prices were high,so when prices fall they will draw on their reserves to support government spending and subsidies(补贴) for their consumers.”But not all oil producers have big reserves.In Venezuela,collapsing oil prices have sent its economy into free fall.Economist Carl Weinberg believes the negative effects of plunging oil prices are overwhelming the positive effects of cheaper oil.The implication is a sharp decline in global trade,which has plunged(暴跌) partly because oil-producing nations cant afford to import as much as they used to.Sara Johnson acknowledges that the global economic benefit from a fall in oil prices today is likely lower than it was in the past.One reason is that more countries are big oil producers now,so the nations suffering from the price drop account for a larger share of the global economy.Consumers,in America at least,are acting cautiously with the savings theyre getting at the gas pump,as the memory of the recent great recession(衰退) is still fresh in their mind.And a number of oil-producing countries are trimming their gasoline subsidies and raising taxes,so the net savings for global consumers is not as big as the oil price plunge might suggest.语篇解读本文论述了石油价格下跌对全球经济增长的影响。16What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?AThe reasons behind the plunge of oil prices.BPossible ways to stimulate the global economy.CThe effect of falling oil prices on consumer spending.DThe impact of cheap oil on global economic growth.答案D解析主旨大意题。由首段最后一句“Does that mean the link between lower oil prices and growth has weakened?”可知,文章讲述的是石油价格下跌与全球经济增长之间的联系,故选D。17Why do some experts believe cheap oil will stimulate the global economy?AManufacturers can produce consumer goods at a much lower cost.BConsumers will spend their saving from cheap oil on other goods.CLower oil prices have always given a big boost to the global economy.DOil prices may rise or fall but economic laws are not subject to change.答案B解析细节理解题。由第二段最后一句“They spend that money on other things,which stimulates the economy.”可知选B。18What happens in many oil-exporting countries when oil prices go down?AThey use their money reserves to back up consumption.BThey suspend import of necessities from overseas.CThey reduce production drastically to boost oil prices.DThey try to stop their economy from going into free fall.答案A解析细节理解题。由第三段中的“Many oil producers built up huge reserve funds when prices were high,so when prices fall they will draw on their reserves to support government spending and subsidies(补贴) for their consumers.”可知选A。19How does Carl Weinberg view the current oil price plunge?AIt is one that has seen no parallel in economic history.BIt still has a chance to give rise to a boom in the global economy.CIts negative effects more than cancel out its positive effects.DIts effects on the global economy go against existing economic laws.答案C解析细节理解题。由第五段第一句“Economist Carl Weinberg believes the negative effects of plunging oil prices are overwhelming the positive effects of cheaper oil.”可知选C。20Why havent falling oil prices stimulated the global economy as they did before?APeople are not spending all the money they save on gas.BOil producers account for a larger portion of the global economy.CThe global economy is likely to undergo another recession.DPeople all over the world are afraid of a further plunge in oil prices.答案B解析细节理解题。由倒数第二段第二句“One reason is that more countries are big oil producers now,so the nations suffering from the price drop account for a larger share of the global economy.”可知选B。
