2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习 阅读理解练习（2）(I)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。 The Pacific Ocean is the largest of the worlds four oceans. Its name es from the Latin meaning “peaceful sea”， and was given by the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, whose voyage was plain there. However, the Pacific is not always peaceful. Its islands are often hit by typhoons, and the countries surrounding it have many volcanoes and are often hit by earthquakes. Tsunamis (海啸 ), caused by underwater earthquakes, have destroyed many lowlying coastal towns. The Ocean contains about 46% of Earths surface water, and makes up about 32% of its total surface area, more than all of the planets land areas. The equator (赤道) divides it into the North Pacific and the South Pacific Oceans, the latter of which contains most of its largest 25,000 islands. The largest landmass entirely within the Pacific Ocean is the island of New Guinea, with Australia to its south；it has been the worlds secondlargest island since separating from the Australian mainland.The lowest point on Earth, the Mariana Trench (海沟), lies 10,911 meters below the surface of the Pacific, but the Oceans average depth is 4,280 meters. The water temperature of the Pacific varies from freezing at the poles to about 300C near the equator. Its salinity (盐分) also varies from place to place. The water near the equator is less salty because of the rainfall there, but at the poles salinity is also low, because little evaporation (蒸发) takes place in the cold water of these areas. The exploitation (开采) of the Pacifics mineral wealth is difficult in its deeper parts. However, in the shallow waters of the continental shelves off the coasts of Australia and New Zealand, oil and natural gas are exploited, and pearls are harvested along the coasts of Australia, Japan, Nicaragua and the Philippines.The Pacifics greatest wealth is its fish, but the fishing industry has been harmed greatly by marine pollution. The biggest harm es from rivers that carry into the Ocean many chemicals used as fertilizers in agriculture, as well as waste. These days many countries are ing together to try to protect the Ocean. 1. Ferdinand Magellan gave the Ocean its name because he_. A. expected to live a peaceful life Bhoped there would be no more wars Ccame upon no serious storms while crossing it Dexpected to stay safe and healthy there 2. From the passage, what do we know about the Pacific Ocean? AIt contains about 32% of the Earths surface water. BIt has suffered many natural disasters. CIts deeper parts havent been exploited. DNew Guinea is on the north of it. 3. Why is the water at the poles less salty? ALittle of it turns into steam. BThere is abundant rainfall there. CThe ocean currents are slow there. DMelting snow adds water to the ocean. 4. We can infer from the passage that_. A. countries near the Ocean benefit from being on it Bpearls are a major source of ine in Japan Cmost people prefer to live near the Ocean Dall the countries along the Ocean are developed解题导语本文从几个方面简要介绍太平洋。 1.解析：选C。细节理解题。根据whose voyage was plain there可知选C。plain sailing意为“一帆风顺”。 2.解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第一段可知选B；根据第二段可知A、D表述错误；文章倒数第二段提到太平洋的深层很难开采，但并没有提到没开采过，故C项表述错误。3解析：选A。 细节理解题。根据第三段中because little evaporation takes place in the cold water of these areas可知A正确。因为那儿的海水几乎没有蒸发。B项是赤道附近盐度低的原因。 4.解析：选A。推理判断题。从倒数第二段可知那些太平洋的周边国家从海洋的丰富资源中获益不少，因此选A。【广东省xx届高三考前冲刺卷(四)】CMarie Curie was a Polish physicist and chemist who lived between 18671934.Together with her husband，Pierre，she discovered two new elements (radium and polonium，two radioactive elements that they extracted chemically from pitchblended ore) and studied the xrays they emitted.She found that the harmful properties of xrays were able to kill tumors.By the end of World War ，Marie Curie was probably the most famous woman in the world.She had made a conscious decision，however，not to patent methods of processing radium or its medical applications.Marie Curie was born on November 7,1867 in Poland and died on July 4,1934.Her codiscovery with her husband Pierre Curie of the radioactive elements radium and polonium represents one of the bestknown stories in modern science for which they were recognized in 1901 with the Nobel Prize in Physics.In 1911，Marie Curie was honored with a second Nobel Prize，this time in Chemistry，to honor her for successfully isolating pure radium and determining radiums atomic weight.As a child，Marie Curie amazed people with her great memory.She learned to read when she was only four years old.Her father was a professor of science and the instruments that he kept in a glass case fascinated Marie.She dreamed of being a scientist，but that would not be easy.Her family became very poor，and at the age of 18，Marie became a governess.She helped pay for her sister to study in Paris.Later，her sister helped Marie with her education.In 1891，Marie attended the Sorbonne University in Paris where she met and married Pierre Curie，a wellknown physicist.Marie Curie contributed greatly to our understanding of radioactivity and the effects of xrays.She received two Nobel Prizes for her brilliant work，but died of leukaemia，caused by her repeated exposure to radioactive materials.36What is the main idea of the passage?ATo give us a general introduction to Madame Curie. BTo show us how Madame Curie discovered radium.CTo tell us how Madame Curie developed as a scientist.DTo tell us how Madame Curie received two Nobel Prizes.37Madame Curie was given the Nobel Prize in Chemistry because _.Ashe discovered radiumBshe separated pure radium and calculated its atomic weightCshe discovered poloniumDshe didnt patent methods of processing radium38Which of the following statements about Madame Curie is NOT true?AMadame Curie made great contributions to medical science.BMadame Curie was very smart and ambitious when she was a child.CMadame Curie received two Nobel Prizes in Physics.DMadame Curies husband helped her a lot in her research.39We can infer from the third paragraph that _.Madame Curie got married when she was at college.Madame Curie had a great ambition when she was young.Madame Curie loved teaching more than anything else.Madame Curie must have met a lot of difficulties to get high education.Her father had a great influence on Madame Curies future career.Madame Curie was very smart when she was a child.A BC D40Which is the right order about Madame Curie according to the passage?amarried Pierrebattended universitycdiscovered radiumddetermined radiums atomic weightewon the Nobel Prize in PhysicsAb，c，a，d，e Bb，a，c，d，eCb，a，c，e，d Db，c，a，e，d36A主旨大意题。通读全文可知。37B细节理解题。根据文中第二段最后一句话可知答案。38C根据第二段内容可知居里夫人两次获得诺贝尔奖，第二次是诺贝尔化学奖。39B推理判断题。根据第一、二句话可知居里夫人非常聪明；第三句可知居里夫人的父亲对她有很大影响；第四句可知她有很大的抱负；根据第五句话可知她所遇到的困难。她当家庭教师只是由于家庭贫穷；根据最后一句话可知她在上大学期间遇到了其丈夫，但结婚不一定是在求学期间。40C细节理解题。根据全文可知答案为C项。【广东省xx届高三考前冲刺卷(四)】DLiving in the wild can be hard.Finding food and staying safe arent easy.Each day，animals struggle to survive in their habitats.Not all animals get by on their own.Some animals form a close partnership with other kinds of animals.These pairings are called symbiotic (共生的) relationships.In a symbiotic relationship，the animals depend on each other.One animal helps the other meet its needs.Sounds good，right? Not always.Some animals are not very kind to their partners.In some cases，one animal meets its needs but hurts its partner.Take ticks，for example.These insects suck blood to live.To get blood，they attach themselves to other kinds of animals.Ticks can pass germs that cause disease instead of helping their hosts.In other relationships，animals dont treat their partners so poorly.Both animals benefit from living with the other animals.Small animals called cleaner shrimps have found a way of helping fish at coral reefs.As their name suggests，the shrimps clean the fish.They hang out at what scientists call a cleaning station.A fish stops by.Then a shrimp climbs onto the fish and even steps into the fishs mouth.The shrimp uses its tiny claws to pick stuff off the fishs body.That can include dead skin，tiny pieces of food，and wee creatures that can hurt the fish.The fish gets a nice cleaning.The shrimp enjoys a tasty meal of fish trash.Small birds called plovers are also in the cleaning business.They have big customerscrocodiles.Crocs have long snouts (鼻子) filled with sharp teeth.Cleaning them is tricky.When a croc opens its mouth，the plover hops right in.The croc does not snap its snout shut.Instead，it lets the plover eat small，harmful animals attached to the crocodiles teeth.The plover gets an easy meal while the croc gets clean teeth.41The text is mainly about _.Athe hard life in the wildBsome dangerous animalsCanimals living togetherDanimals in a symbiotic relationship42According to the text，in a symbiotic relationship，_.Aanimals depend on each otherBbirds depend on animals for foodCboth sides can get helpDnot all animals treat their partners well43Why do the cleaner shrimps clean the fish?ATo get fish trash for food.BTo eat wee creatures.CTo help fish go out of coral reefs.DTo get food for fish.44When plovers hop into crocodiles mouths，they _.Aare really to clean crocodiles teethBare to make crocodiles happyCarent afraid of being eatenDarent happy to clean the crocodiles teeth45According to the text，it can be inferred that _.Aliving in the wild can be hardBdifferent animals have different living waysCcrocodiles mainly live on ploversDticks are useful to some animals41D主旨大意题。本文主要是介绍了生物界的一种共生现象，也就是说生物之间相互依存，相互帮助。故答案选D项。选项C表达语意不准确，表达范围太广。42D深层理解题。由文章第二、三、四段可知，有共生现象的动物中，有的是相互得到帮助，而有的是单方面的。故答案为D项。43A细节理解题。由文章第四段可知，cleaner shrimps之所以要帮助鱼清理垃圾，主要是因为想得到它们想吃的食物fish trash。故答案为A项。44C细节理解题。由文章最后一段可知，plovers是不担心被鳄鱼咬伤的，因为鳄鱼是希望plovers这样做的，而对于plovers而言，其真正的目的是为了得到自己的食物。故答案为C项。45B推理判断题。文章第一段就提到有些动物是靠自己去捕捉食物，而文章又举例讲了一些动物是靠共生来获取食物的，也就是说不同的动物有不同的方式来生存，所以答案为B项。选项A是文章直接叙述的；选项C表达与原文不一致；选项D是无法推断出的。
