2019年中考英语阅读理解基础选（二）【实战训练】 A（2019中考保健与健康类选练）Cooking Kills Four Million People a YearPolluted airborne particles（大气悬浮颗粒）kill 7 million people a year, reports the World Health Organization. That news may not come as a surprise to anyone who has seen images of chimneys in Beijing, Delhi or Mexico. But those factoriesor even the jammed roadways of modern citiesare not the biggest killer. Each year, some 4.3 million people die earlier than they should because of polluted air inside their homes, says the WHO. Whats causing the air inside peoples homes to be so poisonous that it kills around 11,000 people a day? Stoves. “Having an open fire in your kitchen is like burning 400 cigarettes an hour.” says Kirk Smith, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, whose research suggests that household air pollution from cooking killed between 3.5 million and 4 million people in xx.Not all stoves cause this kind of harm. The ones Smiths talking about are those that the 3 billion people in the developing world use for heat and cooking, which burn solid fuels such as wood, coal, or crop waste instead of gas. The smoke from those fires produces harmful fine particles and carbon monoxide into homes. Poor ventilation then prevents that smoke from escaping, raising fine particle levels 100 times higher than the limits that the WHO considers acceptable.Breathing this air day in day out finally causes a lot of diseases: more than a third of the 4.3 million die of a stroke, while a quarter die of heart disease. And around one-third of annual lung disease deaths worldwide are due to waste from coal stoves.Exposure tends to be extremely harmful for the people who spend the most time around the fireusually women and young children. In fact, the WHO reports that household air pollution almost doubles the risk for childhood lung disease. 1. According to Kirk Smiths research, _.

Half a minute? A few seconds? Google engineers have discovered that even 400 millisecondsas short as the blink of an eyeis too long for most Internet users.A millisecond is one thousandth of a second. People hardly notice such a small time difference, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times. “Without question, nobody likes to wait,” said Arvind Jain, a Google engineer. “Every millisecond matters.”Nowadays, millions of smart-phones and computers are continually gathering and sending out information. With so many people downloading maps, sports videos, news and restaurant recommendations, you can get digital “traffic jams”. Meanwhile, users are expecting faster and faster service. Google found that if one website is 250 milliseconds slower than another website, then people will visit it less often. This is why technology companies are now competing to be the fastest. Google said people do expect different things from different websites because they realize not all loading times are the same. For example, a person will be more patient waiting for a video to load than for a search result. Even so, four out of five online users will click away if a video takes too long to load. This makes it difficult for video websites to choose between the quality of pictures and fast loading times. Trying to get a higher speed has always been part of the history of the Internet. In the 1990s, when the World Wide Web first started to become popular, it was very crowded and slow; people called it the “World Wide Wait”. But engineers managed to fight the problem with new inventions. They laid a lot of fiber optic cables (光缆)for sending in high speed; they improved software so it would work more smoothly; they placed computer servers all around the world to be nearer to users; all this increased speed.Nowadays we can enjoy much faster Internet. Famous search engines such as Google and Microsofts Bing usually find search results in less than a second. However, in order to meet the requirement of Internet users, these tycoons should never stop their steps.1. The report from The New York Times suggests that A. A millisecond is one thousandth of a second.B. 400 milliseconds is not so long for most Internet users.C. A millisecond has nothing to do with the Internet speed.D. A millisecond really makes a difference to the Internet users.【答案】D【解析】根据题干中的“The New York Times”定位到第二段“People hardly notice such a small time difference, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times.”即可得出答案2. The engineers did something to improve the speed, including _.a. making software work more smoothly b. laying a number of fiber optic cables inside c. placing computer servers throughout the world d. developing the quality of pictures on the InternetA. a b c B. b c d C. a c d D. a b d 【答案】A【解析】根据题干中的“engineers”定位到第六段“But engineers managed to fight the problem with new inventions. They laid a lot of fiber optic cables (光缆)for sending in high speed; they improved software so it would work more smoothly; they placed computer servers all around the world to be nearer to users; all this increased speed.”即可得出答案3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The quality of pictures comes first for video websites.B. Google is 250 milliseconds slower than other websites C. Microsofts Bing is the fastest engine the world nowD. People are more likely to wait for loading films than maps【答案】D【解析】A选项根据“picture和video websites”定位到第五段“This makes it difficult for video websites to choose between the quality of pictures and fast loading times.”可得知video websites 很难做出选择 从而得出错误。B选项根据“250 milliseconds”定位到第四段“Google found that if one website is 250 milliseconds slower than another website, then people will visit it less often”可得知是Google进行假设从而得出错误。C选项根据 第四段“This is why technology companies are now competing to be the fastest.”和最后一段“Famous search engines such as Google and Microsofts Bing usually find search results in less than a second.”得知文章没有给出哪个网站是网速最快的，从而得出错误。D选项根据第四段“For example, a person will be more patient waiting for a video to load than for a search result”同时根据选项“be likely to do”表示“有可能做某事”。 其中 “film”代指“video”；“maps”代指“search result”可得出正确。4. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. Internet users are willing to see more search engines set up B. Google and Microsofts Bing should help find the searching results C. These companies should mind their steps, or they will break down soon. D. These companies need to catch up with the developing needs of Internet users【答案】D【解析】划线句子中 “meet the requirement” 表示满足需求；tycoons “巨头”代指Famous search engines such as Google and Microsofts Bing5. What can be the best title of this passage?A. Dont make me “www.wait”.B. Search engines work faster.C. Traffic jams keep us waiting.D. The WWW becomes popular.【答案】A【考点】最佳标题【解析】此题为最佳标题类似于主旨大意题，从第一段获取信息可以得知主要强调“wait for a webpage”
