2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习 阅读理解训练（3）(IV)【xx高考复习】阅读理解 Walk down the drinks section at the supermarket.Look in the drink cooler in your local convenience store.A new drink is taking up more and more space on the shelves，and that drink is water.Bottled water sales in the US rose to 1.7 billion gallons in xx for plastic bottles alone，pared to total sales of only 700 million gallons in 1990.Whereas bottled water was once associated only with the rich and the privileged (特权阶层)，it is now regularly drunk by people at all ine levels despite the fact that the price of bottled water can be between 240 and 10,000 times higher per gallon than tap water.What accounts for this surprising increase in demand?Traditionally，people have drunk bottled water for health reasons.The practice of “taking the waters” originated with the Romans，who believed that a person developed a healthy mind by building a healthy body.Across Europe，drinking or bathing in mineral water has been associated with the power to cure various diseases.Health spas at Evian in France and Pellegrino in Italy began bottling water so that their consumers could continue their treatments at home.The consumers in the 21st century are also concerned about health.However，in America，where the habit of drinking bottled water is relatively new，the concern is often more related to the purity or sterilization (消毒) of the water than to its mineral contents.Americans are often worried about the effects of the chemical pollution and other contaminants on the water supply.Many Americans view bottled water as a safe alternative to tap water.Further reasons for drinking bottled water are its usefulness as an aid to digestion，as a plement to a good meal in a restaurant，and for taste.City tap water is often treated with chlorine (氯) to guard against harmful microorganisms.Chlorine，as well as metals from pipes and tanks used to distribute and store tap water，can leave behind an unpleasant taste.【语篇解读】本文从两个方面分析了瓶装水销量提高的原因。1Which of

fashion designer，it is not enough to have succeeded in college.The real test is whether they can survive，and bee established during their early 20s，making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can be as important as talent and creativity.Fashion is a hard business.There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed to prepare for the next seasons collections.It is extremely petitive and there is the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines.It also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy.“We try to warn people before they e to us about how tough it is.” says Lydia Kemeny，Head of Fashion at St.Martins School of Art in London.“And we point out that drive and determination are absolutely necessary.”This may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashionable young people spending their time designing pretty dresses.That may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college wont be slow in introducing students to mercial realities，“We dont walk our foot on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of price，producing ability，marketing and so on.”Almost all fashion design is done to a brief.It is not a form of selfexpression as such，although there is certainly room for imagination and creativity.Most young designers are going to end up as employees of a producer or a fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the characteristic style of their employer.Even those students who are most modern in their own taste of clothes may need to adapt to produce designs which are right for the mainstream of the market.They also have to be able to work at both the expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be demanding.【语篇解读】成为时尚设计师并不是件容易的事。仅仅在大学校园里获取学业的成功是不够的，时尚在不断变化，商业技巧和天赋、创造性同样重要。 5Which of the following is mainly discussed in the passage?ATalent in fashion.BGood marks at college.CAbility to create new designs.DBusiness skills in fashion industry.解析主旨大意题。第一段是文章的主题段，通读全文可知整篇文章介绍的是在时尚业应该掌握怎样的商业技巧才能立足。答案D6What can we learn from the second paragraph?AFashion designers are highly motivated and really detemined.BGood preparations for the next season can reduce stress.CConsumers appetite for new ideas keeps changing.DAdvertisement business is very petitive.解析细节理解题。从第二段中的“It also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy.”可知消费者对时尚的追求是不断变化的。 答案C7What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to?ALydia Kemenys opinion.BThe petitive business world.CThe warning to the young designers.DThe real situation in fashion industry.解析代词指代题。通过阅读第二、三段可知，This指代的是第二段讲到的内容，即时尚界的真实情况。 答案D8Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?ASt.Martins School of Art encourages the new students to design dresses they like.BSt.Martins School of Art requires students to develop their creativity in their designing.CSt.Martins School of Art demands students to make pretty dresses for panies.DSt.Martins School of Art focuses on teaching students mercial realities. 解析正误判断题。根据第三段的第二句和第三句可知该校重视教学生有关商业方面的知识。答案D阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。Some years ago I took on a task in a southern county to work with people on public welfare. What I wanted to do was to show that everybody has the capacity to be self sufficient and all we have to do is to activate（激励）them. I asked the country to pick up a group of people who were on public welfare, people from different racial groups and different family groups. I would then see them as a group for three hours every Friday. I also asked for a little petty cash to work with, as I needed it.The first thing I said after I shook hands with everybody was, “Id like to know what your dreams are.” Everyone looked at me as if I were kind of fool.One woman said to me, “I dont know what you can do with dreams. The rats are eating up my kids.”“Oh,” I said, “Thats terrible. No, of course, you are very much involved with the rats and your kids. How can that be helped?”“Well, I could use a new screen door because there are holes in my screen door.” I asked, “Is there anybody around here who know how to fix a screen door?”There was a man in the group and he said, “A long time ago I used to do things like that but now I have a terribly bad back, but Ill try.”I told him I had some money if he would go to the store and but some screening and go and fix the ladys screen door. “Do you think you can do that?”“Yes, Ill try.”The next week, when the group was seated. I said to the woman, “Well, is your screen door fixed?”“Oh, yes.” she said.“Then we can start dreaming, cant we?” she sort of smiled at me.I said to the man who did the work, “How do you feel?”He said, “Well, you know, its very funny thing. Im beginning to feel a lot better.”That helped the group to begin to dream. These seemingly small successes allowed the group to see that dreams were not insane. These small steps began to get people to see and feel that something really could happen.Everyone found something. The man who put in the screen door became a handyman. In 12 weeks, I had all those people off public welfare. Ive not only done that once, Ive done that in many times.50Whats the opinion the author had when he took on the work? APeople need to be activated by others to make a living.BEveryone should not have depended on public welfare.CEveryone has the ability to live on without getting public welfare.DThe county should gather people from different racial groups together.51Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?AThe author did the work at his own expense.BThe people the author worked with were very wealthy.CThe author usually met the people four times a month.DThe people the author worked with had no dreams at all.52What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?AThe rats are so big that they eat the children.BThe rats are crazy and have the children as food.CThe rats are giving the kids and the mother much trouble.DThe kids are too weak and even are nearly eaten by the rats.53What are the last two paragraphs mainly about? AAnything in the would is difficult.BSmall success can be parts of your dream.CI have had those people off public welfare.DYour dream es before it bees a reality.【参考答案】50-53: CCCD 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。Post Login Register SupportSourcing assistant neededPosted On: Sunday, 28 March, xx, 17:27Expires On: Monday, 27 September, xx, 17:237Indian panys Shanghai office is now looking for a local Chinese girl, who can speak fluent English, and has at least one year experience in trading business.
