2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习 新闻类阅读理解选练（5）xx高考英语阅读练习新闻报道类Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, destroying fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged that their owners had to leave them，and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs. One person was killed，several were badly hurt and taken to hospital，and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm. A farmer，Mr.Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour. “I was eating with my wife and children，”he said，“When we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him，safe but very frightened.” Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.“There was no time to take anything.” she said，“A few minutes later，the roof came down.” Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded area and the welfare department(福利机构)brought them food，clothes and shelter.【小题1】How many homes altogether were damaged in the storm?

AA Terrible StormBA Lucky WomanCGood SoldiersDClever People 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。(xx全国，A)Doctors are known to be terrible pilots. They dont listen because they already know it all. I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didnt realize then, but being a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather, I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot. He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilotand my bossso it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, “We need to put the landing gear down now！” That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and Ive used it in the operating room ever since.CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesnt overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when Im in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes theyre not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from“landing_gear_up”文章大意：众所周知，医生是糟糕的飞行员，但飞行使我成为好的医生。1What dose the author say about doctors in general?AThey like flying by themselves.BThey are unwilling to take advice.CThey pretend to be good pilots.DThey are quick learners of CRM.答案：B推理判断题。根据短文最后一段一、二、三句话可知，CRM要求飞行员或医生鼓励他人说出自己的建议，甚至相反的建议，但又阻止医生有过激反应，所以他们不愿意说出自己的建议，由此可知他们是不愿意接受建议，故B项正确。2The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when _.Ahe saved the plane by speaking upBhe was in charge of a flying taskChis boss landed the plane too lateDhis boss operated on a patient答案：A推理判断题。根据短文第二段倒数四句话可知，说出建议是不寻常的，但当人们处于危险时，我把不安放在一边，大胆说出自己的建议，拯救了飞机，使我加深了对CRM力量的理解。3In the last paragraph “landing gear up” probably means _.Afollowing flying requirementsBoverreacting to different opinionsClistening to what fellow doctors sayDmaking a mistake that may cost lives答案：D词义理解题。由第二段可知，我大胆说出自己的建议，拯救了飞机，此处我希望继续鼓励他们说出建议，将来某一天会阻止犯让人丢性命的错误。4Which of the following can be the best title for the text?ACRM: A New Way to Make Flying Safe.BFlying Makes Me a Better Doctor.CThe Making of a Good Pilot.DA PilotTurned Doctor.答案：B主旨大意题。第一段是主题段。第一段的第四句话是主题句，故B项正确。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。(xx江苏，C)If a diver surfaces too quickly, he may suffer the bends. Nitrogen(氮) dissolved (溶解)in his blood is suddenly liberated by the reduction of pressure. The consequence, if the bubbles (气泡)accumulate in a joint, is sharp pain and a bent bodythus the name. If the bubbles form in his lungs or his brain, the consequence can be death. Other airbreathing animals also suffer this depression(减压)sickness if they surface too fast: whales, for example. And so, long ago, did ichthy osaurs (鱿). That these ancient sea animals got the bends can be seen from their bones. If bubbles of nitrogen form inside the bone they can cut off its blood supply. This kills the cells in the bone, and consequently weakens it, sometimes to the point of collapse. Fossil(化石)bones that have caved in on themselves are thus a sign that the animal once had the bends. Bruce Rothschild of the University of Kansas knew all this when he began a study of ichthyosaur bones to find out how widespread the problem was in the past. What he particularly wanted to investigate was how ichthyosaurs adapted to the problem of depression over the 150 million years. To this end, he and his colleagues traveled the worlds naturalhistory museums, looking at hundreds of ichthyosaurs from the Triassic period and from the later Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. When he started, he assumed that signs of the bends would be rarer in younger fossils, reflecting their gradual evolution of measures to deal with depression. Instead, he was astonished to discover the opposite. More than 15% of Jurassic and Cretaceous ichthyosayurs had suffered the bends before they died, but not a single Triassic specimen(标本)showed evidence of that sort of injury. If ichthyosaurs did evolve an antidepression means, they clearly did so quicklyand, most strangely, they lost it afterwards. But that is not what Dr Rothschild thinks happened. He suspects it was evolution in other animals that caused the change. Whales that suffer the bends often do so because they have surfaced to escape a predator (捕食动物)such as a large shark. One of the features of Jurassic oceans was an abundance of large sharks and crocodiles, both of which were fond of ichthyosaur lunches. Triassic oceans, by contrast, were mercifully sharkand crocodilefree. In the Triassic, then, ichthyosaurs were top of the food chain. In the Jurassic and Cretaceous, they were prey(猎物)as well as predatorand often had to make a speedy exit as a result. 文章大意：当下潜者突然浮出水面，血液中的氮气会突然释放出来，引起剧烈的疼痛和身体的弯曲。Bruce Rothschild研究为什么普遍存在的这种现象在早期鱼龙身上不存在，晚期的鱼龙身上就出现了。5Which of the following is a typical symptom of the bends?AA twisted body. BA gradual decrease in blood supply.CA sudden release of nitrogen in blood.DA drop in blood pressure. 答案：A推理判断题。根据第一段第二句话“The consequence, if the bubbles accumulate in a joint, is sharp pain and a bent bodythus the name”当血液中的氮气释放，聚集在关节处，结果就是剧烈的疼痛和身体的弯曲这就是bends这个名字的由来。由此可知，bends的典型症状就是弯曲的身体。6The purpose of Rothschilds study is to see _.Ahow often ichthyosaurs caught the bendsBhow ichthyosaurs adapted to depression Cwhy ichthyosaurs bent their bodies Dwhen ichthyosaurs broke their bones 答案：B细节理解题。根据第三段第二句话“What he particularly wanted to investigate was how ichthyosaurs adapted to the problem of depression over the 150 million years.”可得出答案。7Rothschilds finding stated in Paragraph 4 _.Aconfirmed his assumption Bspeeded up his research process Cdisagreed with his assumption Dchanged his research objectives 答案：C推理判断题。根据根据第四段第二句话“Instead，he was astonished to discover the opposite.”说明他的发现和他的假设是相反的。8Rothschild might have concluded that ichthyosaurs _.Afailed to evolve an antidepression means Bgradually developed measures against the bends Cdied out because of large sharks and crocodiles Devolved an antidepression means but soon lost it 答案：A推理判断题。根据最后一段，最初鱼龙处于食物链的顶端，没有动物捕杀它们，所以它们无需急剧浮出水面，因此无bends现象，但是到了鱼龙成为了猎物，所以有了bends现象，而它们没有跟着进化。xx高考英语阅读练习新闻报道类Decreasing grain prices along with growing costs of production means Chinese farmers are unlikely to see a significant rise in ine next year. Chinas economic planning chief Ma Kai expressed the concern as the government undertakes an ambitious program to improve rural peoples lives.Grain prices have been dropping since April; and prices of wheat, corn and rice fell 5 per cent from August to October pared with the same period last year, Ma, minister of the National Development and Reform mission, told an annual meeting on development and reform held over the weekend.

The situation makes it difficult to achieve a “new socialist countryside,” which was last week highlighted（引起注意）as a new concept and “mon action” of the whole Party and nation.

Last year, per capita net ine（个人平均纯收入）of Chinese farmers reached 2,936 yuan (US$362), up 6.8 per cent year on year, and the highest increase since 1997.
