2016高考二轮英语阅读理解选练（2）

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。

For more than nine days，for more than 60 miles，

thousands of Beijingbound vehicles have come to an almost total stop on highways called the 6 and 110 that run from Inner Mongolia southeast to the nation's capital. Bai Xiaolong，a 30yearold truck driver，

says it took him five days to make the 350mile journey from Inner Mongolia to Tianjin.He spent much of that time reading，textmessaging and sleeping rather than speeding up. “There was one day that I didn't move，not even an inch，”said Bai，

an inhabitant of Jining in Inner Mongolia，a city at the western end of the traffic jam.

Chinese officials said that the congestion is mainly because of the maintenance(维

护)projects that began in midAugust and are scheduled to be completed in midSeptember.Trucks carrying 8 tons or more of coal or fruit have been responsible for damaging the roadway，thus making the work necessary.

Drivers who often use the route know that heavy traffic has long been a fact of life.“The problem is really that there're too many cars and trucks and not enough lanes(车

道)，”Bai said.“We drivers are used to this sort of thing happening.”

The two national freeways are heavily used by trucks carrying coal from the recently opened fields of Inner Mongolia to 's coastal cities.

The seemingly endless jam began on the 6 and spread to the 110，which runs parallel(平行的)，

when officials sought to ease the traffic on the 6.

The Global Times，and Englishlanguage newspaper，said the jam had eased somewhat in the last two days，but inhabitants of the region say the congestion simply spilled out onto other roads.

The congestion has created an economy of its own.Vendors(小贩)sell boxed lunches，

noodles and drinking water to the travelers，

often at jackedup prices.And because of the longstanding problems along the highways，

dozens of small hotels have appeared，

attracting drivers who need a stop to catch more serious sleep.

1．According to the text，

the 110 was mainly damaged by________. A．too many cars B．bad weather C．poor maintenance D．heavy trucks

答案：D 细节理解题。根据文章第四段最后一句及第六段可知，导致这条国道毁坏的主要原因是那些重型卡车，故选D项。

2．What can we infer from the text? A．Bai Xiaolong was born in .

B．The problem of traffic jams in will be solved soon.

C．Chinese officials think it is necessary to build more lanes. D．The local people don't think the congestion has eased. 答案：D 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中的

inhabitants of the region say the congestion simply spilled out onto other roads可知，当地居民认为交通堵塞只是转移到了别的道路上，也就是说他们认为当地的交通拥堵并没有得到缓解。

3．The underlined word“jackedup”in the last paragraph probably means“________”． A．high B．right C．special D．low

答案：A 猜测词义题。因为堵车所以司机被困在那里，他们需要吃的和喝的，而一些商贩发现了这个商机，往往哄抬物价，司机们别无选择，由此可猜测出该词的意思为“很高的”。 4．What would be the best title of the passage? A．The congestion creates an economy of its own B．Traffic jam near stretches on for days C．The traffic has improved in D．Truck drivers in live a hard life

答案：B 标题归纳题。本文报道了一次严重的交通堵塞。60多英里的道路变成了停车场，足足堵了九天多的时间，B作为标题最合适。

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。

Should ecigarettes (electronic cigarettes) be a new choice for the smokers trying to get rid of the habit? Reactions from Americans are mixed.More than half of the people questioned in a survey think ecigarettes should be controlled by the US Food and Drug Administration，

but 47 percent believe the ecigarettes should be available to the smokers who want to quit. “In the hunt for a safer cigarette，

ecigarettes are becoming a popular choice among those either trying to quit or looking to replace standard tobacco smoke with an alternative that manufacturers claim to be safer，” Zogby International，which conducted the survey，said in a statement.

About half of the 4,611 adults who took part in the survey had heard about ecigarettes，which are batterypowered，or rechargeable cigarettes that vaporize a liquid nicotine solution.They do not produce smoke but a water vapor without smell.Sold mostly on the Internet，ecigarettes were first made in China.

Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against using ecigarettes，

saying there was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit.The WHO said people who smoke ecigarettes breathe in a fine fog of nicotine into the lungs. Nearly a third of people questioned in the survey think that ecigarettes should be allowed in places where smoking is forbidden，because they don’t produce smoke，

but 46 percent disagree.Men who were aware of the availabilit

y of ecigarettes were more likely than women to say they should be a choice available to smokers who want to quit.Young people，aged 18－29，

and singles were the groups most open to trying ecigarettes.Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable death worldwide，according to the WHO.

26．What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A．American smokers ought to try ecigarettes.

【广东省2012届高三考前冲刺卷(三)】B

A woman and her elderly uncle were waiting for a bus at a corner in downtown Chicago.Buses came by，

not the one they wanted.The woman finally halfentered one of the buses and asked the driver if the bus she wanted stopped at that corner.

The driver looked at her but made no answer，so she repeated the question.To her surprise，he then closed the door，by her arm，and drove off. The woman，her arm stuck in the door，ran alongside the bus，

shouting.Passengers said the driver stopped after almost a block only because they，too，were shouting.

When the driver finally did stop and open the door，

the woman jumped on the bus to get his bus number.Then he

took off again and went another couple of blocks before other shouting passengers persuaded him to stop and let the woman off.

After the driver’s bosses at a taxsupported governmental company(CIA) heard of the incident，

they looked into it and set his punishment：a fiveday suspension(停

职) without pay.That struck me as rather light.

But Bill Baxa，the company’s pubicrelations man，said，“That’s a pretty serious punishment.”

Five days off work is a serious punishment for dragging a woman alongside a bus by her arm？Baxa said，“Any time you take money away from someone，

it is a terrible punishment.The driver makes $14 an hour.Multiply that by 40 and you can see what he lost.” Yes，that comes to $560，

a good sum.But we know that people in the private company are fired for far less minor mistakes.If the people who run the bus company think that the loss of a week’s pay is more than enough，I offer them a sporting(公正的) suggestion：Give me a bus.Then have their wives stick their arms in the doorway of the bus，and I’ll slam the door shut，

start the bus quickly and take them for a fast oneblock run.An

d I’ll pay $560 to anyone who is bold enough to try it.Any takers？Mr. Baxa？Anyone？I didn’t think so.

31．The nurse halfentered one of the buses because________.

A．the bus they wanted didn’t stop there B．she wanted the driver to stop the bus

C．she wanted to get some information from the driver D．she and her uncle couldn’t wait any longer at the corner 32．How many blocks was the woman away from the corner where she waited when the bus driver finally let her off? A．Almost one block. B．Almost two blocks. C．Probably three blocks. D．Probably five or six blocks.

33．Why did the author offer a sporting suggestion? A．Because the CTA paid little attention to the incident. B．Because he bus driver had not been fired.

C．Because he wanted to threaten the CTA people. D．Because he thought the punishment was a light one. 34．From this passage we may infer that________.

A．many people in the private sector are fired for minor mista

kes every day

B．people in the private sector usually get more serious punishment than those in the public sector

C．people in the private sector get much higher pay than those in the public sector

D．people in the private sector are better trained than those in the public sector

35．Which of the following is NOT true?

A．The company is a bus company supported by the government.

B．The writer and Mr.Baxa disagreed with each other on the bus company’s decision.

C．The driver finally stopped the bus under the pressure of the passengers.

D．The writer asked the bus company to give him a bus if his suggestion was refused.

31．C [从第一段最后一句的后半部分可知，她问情况，也就是打听信息。]

32．C [根据文章第三段最后一句和第四段最后一句，关键词语：almost a block和another couple of blocks可确定答案为C项。]

33．D [第五段最后一句已点明了原因。]

34．B [从第八段的第二句可看出：私营公司的人员会因很小的错误而被开除，说明在私营公司的人员所受的处分要重得多。]

35．D [文章中虽然说了Give me a bus，但这并不是作者的本意，作者提出这种建议主要是提醒人们对这个问题进行换位思考。故D项的说法是错误的。]

Many Americans are turning to , they think, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one survey, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者)listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful c

areers in the first grade and beyond, Japanese preschools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as determination, concentration, and the ability to work as a member of a group. The huge majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents. Like in America, there is diversity (多样

性)in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated (一流

的)schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing (智能化)in some Japanese kindergartens.

1. We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believe______.

A. Japanese parents are more involved in preschool education than American parents

B. Japan’s economic success is a result of its scientific achievements

C. Japanese preschool education emphasizes academic instruction

D. ’s higher education is superior to theirs

2. In Japan’s preschool education, the focus is on______. A. preparing children academically

B. developing children’s artistic interests C. developing children’s potential D. shaping children’s character

3. Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens?

A. They can do better in their future studies.

B. They can make more group experience grow there. C. They can be self-centered when they grow up. D. They can have better chances of getting a top-rated education.

4. Free play has been introduced in some Japanese kindergartens in order to______.

A. broaden children’s knowledge B. train children’s creativity

C. lighten children’s study loadD. enrich children’s experience 【参】1—4、CDDC
