1广西藤县 2017 高考英语阅读理解一轮过关题（二）阅读理解训练(2015·河北省普高质监)Martha Graham, born in 1894, was one of the most famous dancers and creators of dance, whose influence on dance has been compared with the influence Picasso had on the modern visual arts, Stravinsky had on music, or Frank Lloyd Wright had on architecture. She created almost two hundred dance pieces. She is often called the Mother of Modern Dance.Earlier in her life, however, Martha did not know that she would become a dancer. At that time, the dancers were looked down on. So Martha's parents didn't approve of her desire to dance at the beginning. Until 1916, she began her studies at the newly created Denishawn School of Dancing and Related Arts, founded by Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn, where Graham worked very hard to improve her ability to dance because she was considered too old to begin dancing.In 1936, Graham made her defining work, “Chronicle”， which signaled the beginning of a new era in modern dance. The dance brought serious issues to the stage for the general public in a dramatic manner. Influenced by the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the Great Depression that followed, and the Spanish Civil War, it focused on depression and isolation, reflected in the dark nature of both the set and costumes.Graham continued to dance past the age of seventy. Once again, she was met with criticism from people who came to watch her shows. But she didn't give up. Her last completed ballet was 1990's Maple Leaf Rag. “A Dancer's World” is an introduction to Graham and her work. She tells about her dances and her dance group shows some of their methods.Martha Graham received many awards during her lifetime, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in nineteen seventy­six. She was the first dancer to receive the country's highest civilian honor. She died in 1991 at the age of ninety­six. In 1998, Time magazine listed her as the “Dancer of the Century” and as one of the most important people of the twentieth century.文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了现代舞之母玛莎·格兰姆的故事和她所取得的成就。4．Some famous artists mentioned in Paragraph 1 show Martha Graham________.2A．was influenced greatly by themB．kept in touch with them regularlyC．had a great effect on modern danceD．liked to make more friends with them答案：C 推理判断题。第一段中将玛莎·格兰姆的影响和其他的一些伟大的人物相比，暗示她的影响也非常大，故最佳答案为 C。5．Why didn't Martha's parents approve of her desire to dance at first?A．She was too old to learn American dance.B．American dance was seen as a lower art form.C．There was no academic school to teach dancing.

Whistles and chirps are like the sounds that many birds make.Now scientists have translated some of their squirrelspeak.Hare, a professor of zoology at the University of Maniloha in Winnipeg, and his team managed to record squirrels' alarm calls.The researchers studied the sounds and then played them back to 60 wild squirrels, which the scientists approached individually with a video recorder to capture(抓拍)their responses.Some squirrels lifted their heads up and became alert(警惕的)．Creatures that were more frightened simply ran for their lives and dived into caves.“In effect then, whistles that mix with chucks say ‘there's an enemy of average threat that's here’， and whistles without chucks say ‘there's an enemy of seemingly average threat around here somewhere’， while pure chirps say, ‘I'm hiding here because there's an immediate danger.’” Hare told.Hare and some other researchers believe such sounds are part of an advanced language that develops just as all other communication systems.Although squirrels risk their lives when they call out to warn others of threats, other squirrels might admire this behaviour, thus increasingly the caller's social status, like humans who look up to heroes. Hare added that other animals, such as birds, probably understand at least some squirrel language, since they also may benefit from the alarm calls.In fact, another Canadian study found that deepvoiced, blackcapped chickadees have their own language, too.According to certain research, there are a lot of tidings in chickadees' calls, such as directing fellows' activities, keeping in contact between mates, and raising alarms.While chickadees and other birds are often welcomed into gardens by homeowners, squirrels are frequently viewed as pests(害兽). Hare wishes a greater understanding of the complex social lives and communication systems of squirrels will provide “hope that humans will gain a greater appreciation and stop doing harm to these animals”．41．The text mainly talks about ________．A．the study on the language of squirrelsB．the comparison between squirrels and chickadeesC．the calling for the protection of squirrelsD．the ways for squirrels to escape from their enemies2．If a squirrel is in a very dangerous situation, it would probably make ________．A．whistles with chucksB．pure chirpsC．whistles without chucksD．repeated chucks3．The underlined word “tidings” in Paragraph 6 probably means “________”．A．difficulties B．poisesC．messages D．languages4．What can be learned from this text?A．Squirrels communicate with each other as humans do.B．Some squirrels understand the recorded alarm calls.C．Other animals also well understand the language of squirrels.D．Birds such as chickadees don't have their own language.(二)【要点综述】本文主要讲了 Hare 以及他带领的团队对松鼠们所使用的语言进行的研究。1．A 主旨大意题。纵观全文可以看出，文章向我们讲述了 Hare 以及他带领的团队对松鼠们所使用的语言进行的研究。2．B 细节理解题。由文章中的内容可以看出，B 项正确。3．C 词义猜测题。下文 such as 后里列举的 directing fellows' activities，keeping in contact between mates，and raising alarms 都是不同的信息，由此可以看出，该词和 message 同义。4．B 推理判断题。从文章第二段中“Some squirrels lifted their heads up and 5became alert(警惕的)．Creatures that were more frightened simply ran for their lives and dived into caves.”可以看出，松鼠们对于“the recorded alarm calls”反应很敏感，也就是说它们能理解。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。People being tested for radiation exposureThe crisis at the damaged Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Power Station in northern Japan has raised worries about radiation risks. We spoke Tuesday with Jonathan Links, an expert in radiation health sciences. He is a professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Maryland.Professor Links says workers within the nuclear plant are the only people at risk of extremely high doses of radiation.JONATHAN LINKS: “Of course, we don't know what doses they've received, but the only persons at risk of acute radiation effects are the workers.“For other people, he says, there may be a long-term worry. People can get cancer from low doses of ionizing radiation, the kind released in a nuclear accident.Professor Links says scientists can use computers to quickly model where radioactive material has blown and settled. Then they measure how large an area is contaminated. He says if the situation is serious enough, officials could take steps like telling people not to eat locally grown food or drink the water.JONATHAN LINKS: “But that would only be the case if there was a significant release and, because of wind direction, the radioactive material was blown over the area, and then settled out of the air into and onto water, plants, fruits and vegetables.“The reactors at Fukushima are on the Pacific coast. But Professor Links says people should not worry about any radioactive material leaking into the ocean.6JONATHAN LINKS: “Even in a worst-case scenario accident, the sea provides a very high degree of dilution. So the concentration of radioactivity in the seawater would still be quite low.“Japan is the only country to have had atomic bombs dropped on it. That memory from World War Two would create a stronger “psychological sensitivity“ to radiation exposure, Professors Links says.Next month is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the explosion and fire that destroyed a reactor at Chernobyl in Ukraine. The nineteen eighty-six event was the world's worst accident in the nuclear power industry.A new United Nations report says more than six thousand cases of thyroid cancer have been found. These are in people who were children in affected areas of Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. The report says that by two thousand five the cancers had resulted in fifteen deaths.The cancers were largely caused by drinking contaminated milk. The milk came from cows that ate grass where radioactive material had fallen.To get the latest updates, go to Contributing: James Brooke1. The passage mainly tells us __________.A. What measures the Japan Government takes to solve the nuclear crisis .B. Worries and influences caused by the nuclear crisis .C. With great efforts of scientists , the Japan Government has put the nuclear crisis under control .D. To explain that the nuclear crisis has less effect on its neighboring countries.2. Which of the following is NOT the influences caused by the leak of Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Power Station?A. Workers at the nuclear station are suffering the risk of death .B. People can get cancer from low doses of ionizing radiation, the kind released in a nuclear accident.C. The radioactive material may be blown over the area causing the pollution to 7water .D. The concentration of radioactivity in the seawater can not be diluted.3. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “dilution”?A. chemical B. salt C. dissolution D. elimination4.

What better place to rest than a country where the only place people hurry is on the football field and things are done in “Fiji time”？Viti Levu is the largest island. Here you'll find the capital Suva and the international airport at Nadi. Vatoa, on the other hand, is a tiny island in the farthest part of Fiji. Then there are 331 other islands, many of them with places to stay.With less than a million people living on islands, you'll never feel crowded. And with a climate that changes only for five degrees between seasons, there's never a bad time to come.From cities to villages, from mountains to beaches, from water sports to wooden artworks, Fiji can give you more adventures and special experiences than you could find almost anywhere in the world.Whenever you come, wherever you go，you're sure to see some unforgettable events，from war dances to religious (宗教的) songs, from market days to 8religious days.

This population consists of birds, bats, frogs，snakes，etc.For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating (迁徙的)birds.According to the International Dark­Sky Association， “100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”Countless more animal casualties(伤亡) result from the use of artificial lighting.Clearly，people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans，too.They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase a person's chances of getting cancer.Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution.For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory.Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night.41．It happened last night that ________．A. the city's lights affected the meteor watchingB．the meteors flew past before being noticedC．the city light show attracted many peopleD．the meteor watching ended up a social outing 2．What do the astronomers complain about?A．Meteor showers occur less often than before.B．Their observation equipment is in poor repair.C．Light pollution has remained unsolved for years.D．Their eyesight is failing due to artificial lighting.3．What is the author concerned about according to Paragraph 4?A. Birds may take other migration paths.B．Animals' living habits may change suddenly.C．Varieties of animals will become sharply reduced.D．Animals' survival is threatened by outdoor lighting.4．Lighting regulations in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect to________．A．lessen the chance of getting cancerB．create an ideal observation conditionC．ensure citizens a good sleep at nightD．enable all creatures to live in harmony5．What message does the author most want to give us?A．Saving wildlife is saving ourselves.B．Great efforts should be made to save energy.C．Human activities should be environmentally friendly.D．New equipment should be introduced for space study.【参考答案解析】A【要点综述】 本文是一篇科普文，主要介绍了城市的光污染对日常生活、天文学家的工作以及动物的生活都产生了消极的影响。在 Flagstaff，Arizona 已经采取了灯光管理措施。 51．A 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“…so brightened by the city's lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.”可知，昨天晚上由于城市的灯光太亮，影响了人们观看流星。故选 A。2．C 细节理解题。根据第三段“…have been complaining about this problem for decades.

This population consists of birds, bats, frogs, snakes, etc.”以及本段最后一句“…‘100 million birds a year throughout…die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.’”可知，作者第四段主要叙述的是动物也受到了光污染的影响，甚至它们的生存也受到了影响。故选 D。4．B 推理判断题。根据第六段第二句“…has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at…”可知，这条规定是为了给天文学家的工作创造理想的观察条件。故选 B。5．C 主旨大意题。根据整篇文章的叙述，作者主要描述了城市的光污染对人们生活、工作以及动物的生存造成的影响，因此作者在文中呼吁我们人类的活动应该对环境有利。故选 C。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。You need to be of a certain age to understand why so many people in Hollywood are caring about the possible closing down of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (米高梅电影公司)．For the past 40 years, its output has been good, but now it is on the ropes, with debts of $ 3.7 billion and will have to sell off its most valuable assets (资产).In its golden time, MGM stood for something．If Warner Brothers meant social dramas and gangster movies, and Disney meant cartoon films, then MGM was healthy fantasy．This business model found its most glorious expression in its musicals (音乐剧) of the post-war era．It also featured such many famous stars as Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly and Judy Garland.6But MGM had always put its hopes on the quality of stars it could attract．From the time MGM became a company in 1924, the studio and his associate proved themselves good at creating big names.For 35 years, this worked well enough, but the growing power of television disturbed Hollywood．MGM continued to throw money into making gorgeous-looking musicals, but despite some big successes audiences gradually started to drift away．Throughout the sixties, MGM's decline set in．Things went from bad to worse．In 1973, MGM stopped distributing its own films．Since then, the Lion's roar has been reduced to a whimper (呜咽).How far MGM has fallen can be shown by its recent releases．This was a studio that for years offered a reliable supply of first-class films．Yet last year its total output was three．To make it worse, all were co-produced with other studios．And this year? Only one so far, and maybe the last.What now? MGM will probably be sold, though recent buyers have been cautious about a price thought to be around $ 2 billion.1. MGM is becoming the focus in Hollywood because it _______．A. has more supporters B. has produced good filmsC. might be closed down D. has lost all its assets2. What can we learn about MGM from the text?A. It has been sold out for around $ 2 billion.B. The Internet was a factor causing its decline.C. It only produced three films by itself last year.D. It made a wrong decision for its development.3. What's the main idea of the text?A. The past glories of MGM． B. The musicals made by MGM.C. The decline of MGM． D. A historical decision by MGM.【参考答案】1—3、CDC 1—4、CDDA 1—4、BDCD 7[科普知识型阅读理解(一)]-----CA great invention by an 18­year­old high school student grew out of a simple problem most teenagers meet with.“I'm a teenager and I have a cellphone and my cellphone battery always dies, so I was really looking for a way to improve energy storage， ” Eesha Khare said on Tuesday. “That's how I came across supercapacitors.”The teenager from California, who graduated from high school last week, won a $50， 000 prize on May 17, 2013 at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair for creating a device that can store enough energy to charge a cellphone in 20 to 30 seconds. “It charges very quickly and can store a lot of energy， ” Khare said. “The cool thing is that it's a lot thinner than one hair.” Khare hasn't used her invention to recharge a cellphone yet, but she used it to power a light­emitting diode (LED) in order to show its capability(容量). If used on cellphones, the supercharger would slide on to the phone's battery to charge it in a matter of seconds. The technology isn't available to consumers yet, and it could be years until it is.At an Intel event in Phoenix, Khare won the Intel Foundation Young Scientist Award, taking second place overall in the world's largest high school science research competition. She beat out more than 1，600 finalists from 70 countries. She said that she has been contacted by several companies to continue her research, but is now focused on attending Harvard University in the fall. “Right now, just my education, but hopefully we'll see what happens in the future， ” she said about her plans. “I have a lot of interests, so we'll see what I do in the future.”1. The passage starts with ________．A．what problem most teenagers meet with in lifeB．how Khare helped others with their problems8【参考答案解析】C【要点综述】 一位高中生因其一项发明而在英特尔国际科学与工程大赛中胜出，并因此获得 50，000 美元的奖金。该发明虽然看起来很小，但却能储存大量的能量，因此可以迅速给手机充电。1．C 根据第二段“I'm a teenager and I have a cellphone and my cellphone battery always dies, so I was really looking for a way to improve energy storage…”可知全文首先介绍 Khare 发明该事物的起因，故选 C 项。2．A Khare 今年 18 岁，再根据第三段“The teenager from California, who graduated from high school last week, won a $50， 000 prize on May 17, 2013 at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair…”可知该文写于 2013 年，由此可推断她应该出生于 1995 年。3．D 根据第五段“The technology isn't available to consumers yet, and it could be years until it is.”可知该发明尚未投入使用，故选 D 项。4．C 根据第五段“Khare hasn't used her invention to recharge a cellphone yet, but she used it to power a light­emitting diode (LED) in order to show its capability(容量)． ”可判断选 C 项。5．B 根据最后两段可知 Khare 当前的计划是要进入哈佛大学读书，故选 B 项。
