山西襄垣縣2017高考英語閱讀理解一輪訓(xùn)練 【閱讀理解】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。 Skeptics are a strange lot.Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the enviroment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them.Those people，say skeptics，spread nothing but bad news about the environment.The “ecoguilt”brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews. Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity.That book ，The Skeptical Environmentalist, declares that it measures the “real state of the world”as fine. Of course ，another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests. Indeed, Mr. Lomborgs views are similar to those of some industryfunded organizations, which start huge activities through the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming. So it was strange to see Mr. Lomborgs book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that “After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.” Such onesided views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborgs “preference for unexamined materials is incredible(不可信的)”． A critical (批判的)eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests. People might become halfblind before a world partially exhibited by the media. Thats a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly. 本文講述了懷疑論者不承認(rèn)人類活動對環(huán)境造成的危脅，認(rèn)為地球狀況是良好的，這迎合了一些追求利益的商業(yè)公司。但是關(guān)系地球健康的問題是相當(dāng)重要的，人們一定要嚴(yán)肅對待。 1. According to the passage, which of the following may be regarded as “skeptics”？ A. People who agree on the popularity of “ecoguilt”． B. People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet. C. People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities. D. People who spread comforting news to protect our environment. 答案：B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段可知，懷疑論者不承認(rèn)人類活動對環(huán)境的影響。短文第二段第二句話中提到，他們認(rèn)為世界的真正狀態(tài)是好的，由此可知B項正確。 2. Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborgs book? A．Some big businesses intend to protect their own interests. B．The book challenges views about the fine state of the world. C．The author convinces people to seek comforting worldviews. D．Industryfunded media present confusing information. 答案：A。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段最后一句話可知Lomborg的觀點與一些由工業(yè)資助的組織的觀點是相似的。因此可知這些大的組織為了自己的利益也不會注重環(huán)保。 3. The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to ______. A. voice a different opinion B. find fault with Lomborgs book C. challenge the authority of the media D. point out the value of scientific views 答案：A。推理判斷題。第三段提到加拿大的一家報紙對Lomborg的書大加贊揚，第四段又提到這片面的觀點應(yīng)當(dāng)受到挑戰(zhàn)，然后說“Nature”雜志上就有不同的評論。由此可知A項正確。 4. What is the authors main purpose in writing the passage? A. To encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye. B. To warn the public of the danger of halfblindness with reviews. C. To blame the medias lack of responsibility in presenting information. D. To show the importance of presenting overall information by the media. 答案：D。作者意圖題。由短文最后一段第二句話可知，媒體應(yīng)當(dāng)提供全方位的信息，讓人們在了解情況的前提下做出決定。由此可知D項正確。 【2014高考訓(xùn)練】 Ask runners why they run and youll get a variety of answers; to stay healthy or to feel better.

But Back on My Feet puts recovering addicts and the homeless on the road to a brighter future, starting with a simple step; attending group runs three tunes a week. At 5:30 a.m. on a hot July day, Back on My Feets Team Brooklyn gathered in a parking lot.

Once youre in your 30s or 40s, it gets harder and harder to reinvent yourself. So I made an interview with Dr. Meg Jay, the clinical psychologist. He explains why the twenties matter, and how to make the most of them. In Dr. Meg Jays opinion, our 20s are the defining decade of adulthood. 80% of lifes most important moments take place by about age 35. And 2/3 of lifetime wage growth happens during the first ten years of a career. More than half of Americans are married or are dating or living with their future partner by age 30. Personality can change more during our 20s than at any other decade in life. Female fertility(生育能力) peaks at 28. The brain caps off (結(jié)束) its last major growth. When it comes to adult development, 30 is not the new 20. Even if you do nothing, not making choices is a choice all the same. Dont be defined by what you didnt know or didnt do. On the other hand, I also ask him how the 20s track their progress toward their future goals and whether milestones like 21 and 30 are really important. Dr. Meg Jay think it absolutely important. Milestones--21, 25, 30, New Years, birthdays, reunions--are important because they cause self-reflection. What he mentioned are as follows: Am I where I wanted to be by this age? Did I do what I said I would do this year? If not, why not. And if not now, when? A 20-year-old girl who interviewed me recently told me about a question she was advised to ask herself as she moved through adulthood: "If you keep living your life exactly as it is, where will you be in 3 years?" If you dont like the answer, now is the time to change course. Surely the 20s are for experimenting, but not just with philosophies(人生觀) and vacations and substances(物質(zhì)). The 20s are your best chance to experiment with jobs and relationships. Then each move can be more intentional and more informed than the last. 31. Once you make a decision in your 20s, it will __________. A. be the best part B. be the worst part C. change your whole life D. affect your future life 【答案】D 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第一句every decision you make can change the rest of your life.你20多歲做出的決定影響你的未來生活，故選D。 32.

A. it is a milestone B. it tracks their progress C. it leads to self-reflection D. it achieves their future goals 【答案】C 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第三句 cause self-reflection與之同義。引起自我反思，故選C。 35.

Cleaning up the air, while good for our lungs, could make global warming worse. And the pollutants still go up around the air, along with carbon dioxide. These pollutants are called aerosols (氣溶粒) and they include soot as well as mixtures of nitrogen(氮) and sulfur(硫) and other stuff into the air. Natalie Mahowald, a climate researcher at Cornell University, says so far, scientists have mostly tried to understand what those aerosols do while theyre actually in the air. "There are so many different kinds of aerosols," she says. "Some warm and some cool. But in fact, humans are giving out a lot of extra aerosols, and they tend to cool for the most part." The aerosols reflect sunlight back into space, or keep us cool. But it turns out thats not all they do. These aerosols also influence how much carbon dioxide gets drawn out of the air by plants on land and in the sea. "They can add nutrients, for example, to the oceans or to the land," Mahowald says. "But also while theyre in the atmosphere they can change the climate, and thus that also can influence the amount of carbon, the land or the ocean can take up. So there are quite a few different ways that aerosols can act on each other." Mahowalds results suggest that reducing those pollutants could be an even bigger problem than realized, when you consider that aerosols help remove carbon dioxide from the air by encouraging plant growth. Hard numbers on this effect are highly uncertain at the moment, but this could turn out to be quite significant. And studying it is not easy because the effects arent well understood. For example, nitrogen can be a fertilizer (肥料), but it can stop plant growing when nitrogen comes out of the air in acid form. Right now it seems like were much more likely to clean up aerosol pollution, while increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. So scientists, unfortunately, may have a chance to see whether this experiment on our planet should continue or not. 36. From Paragraph 2, we know that . A. scientists have been aware of how aerosols work B. Natalie Mahowald is an expert in climate C. cleaning up the air is so popular D. pollutants are under control so far 【答案】B 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段第二句Natalie Mahowald的同位語a climate researcher at Cornell University可知Natalie Mahowald是一個氣候?qū)＜?，故選B。 37. What is Natalie Mahowalds opinion on those aerosols? A. Aerosols can influence each other in various ways. B. All the aerosols will cool the earth. C. Aerosols can add nutrients to human beings. D. Any kind of aerosols will warm the earth. 【答案】A 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段Some warm and some cool得知，BD選項錯誤, 與Some不符。從第五段的to the oceans，得知C也不對。由第五段最后一句aerosols can act on each other氣溶?？梢砸圆煌姆绞较嗷ビ绊懀蔬xA。 38. Why is it important for scientists to get accurate numbers according to the passage? A. Scientists have a chance to research them. B. They can bring scientists much more benefit. C. Scientists can protect the earth from being polluted D. They can help scientists understand the effects better. 【答案】D 【解析】推理判斷題。從第六段最后一句和第七段開頭句可推出D正確。其他選項與題目沒有直接的因果關(guān)系。它們能幫科學(xué)家更好地理解影響，故選D。 39. What does the last sentence of the passage imply? A. Scientists will be in a dilemma. B. The experiment will be successful. C. Scientists will carry out the experiment. D. Scientists have difficulty in the experiment. 【答案】A 【解析】詞義猜測題。從第七段開頭句和第八段最后一句should continue or not應(yīng)不應(yīng)該進(jìn)行。說明研究的左右為難。故A最合適。而D選項屬于事實題，不是暗示推理題。科學(xué)家左右為難，故選A。 40. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage? A. Pollutants in the Air. B. The Experiment on the Planet C. The Reason for Global Warming D. The Influence of Aerosols 【答案】D 【解析】標(biāo)題歸納題。全文以Aerosols為中心，說明它的影響。故D正確。其他選項要么范圍太大要么太小，不夠全面。氣溶粒的影響，故選D。
