‎2019届高考英语一轮复习限时阅读训练35‎ ‎ (A)‎ Dear Sir, ‎ I have to travel every day from So UK Road to the airport. Two buses travel along this route: No. 49 and No. 16. However, by the time No. 16 reaches So UK Road, it is always full. 1 ‎ ‎ The timetable states that there are buses from So UK Road to the airport every ten minutes. 2 The instructions state that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting. 3 ‎ The instructions state that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday, I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. 4 There were 129 of them. ‎ Clearly printed on the back of every bus is a sign that says “Maximum speed: ‎50mph. ” 5 Saturday morning a No. 49 bus traveled the distance in ten minutes, at an average speed of ‎60 mph. At times it must have done at least 80 or even ‎90 mph. ‎ It is obvious that our bus companies have neither respect for the instructions nor consideration for their passengers. Can nothing be done about this? ‎ Jerry A. I counted the other passengers as they got off. ‎ B. Is there anything we can do to change this? ‎ C. The problem is that we have to pay more for our trip. ‎ D. The distance from So UK Road to the airport is 10 miles. ‎ E. This leaves No. 49 which sometimes has empty seats on it. ‎ F. If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day? ‎ G. Why is it that half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?‎ ‎ (B)‎ Choose friends who make you feel happy!‎ Not long ago, I opened an e-mail from Jennifer, a lady I knew through business in Guelph‎, Ontario, ‎Canada, “I have been seeing how I feel after interacting with different people and thinking who I feel good about, ‎‎6 ”‎ Then she invited me and eleven other women to a “Movie Night” to be held every six weeks at her house. She promised we were sure to enjoy a good time. 7 She made it clear in her invitation that there was no pressure to show up to all or any movie nights. Wonderful! 8 I gratefully accepted her kind invitation. ‎ ‎9 Although all the women were eager to participate, some said they didn’t see themselves as optimistic people. “I told them they didn’t have to be cheerful around me all the time. I invited them because they made me feel happy, ” she says. ‎ ‎10 In‎ a US study, researchers measured the happiness of 4, 739 people at regular interval over 20 years. The study found that a person’s happiness depends on the happiness of people they connect with. Amazingly it also found that a person’s happiness spreads not only between direct friends, but also among friends of your friends’ friends! ‎ A. She is one of my good friends. ‎ B. Research shows such gatherings make sense. ‎ C. Later she had some puzzled reactions to her invitation. ‎ D. and you are on my list. ‎ E. We would chat, eat and watch feel-good movies. ‎ F. I e-mailed her back immediately. ‎ G. She was not satisfied with the women. ‎ 答案解析 A ‎ 【文章大意】作者所乘公交车没有按照保险声明中的细则实施，对此作者提出了自己的看法，希望能够得到解决。‎ ‎1.【解析】选E。根据前文No. 16和No. 49 两辆公交车，且根据it is always full 可知 E 项正确。‎ ‎2.【解析】选F。根据every ten minutes可知选F项。‎ ‎3.【解析】选G。根据前文. . . if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting可知选G项。‎ ‎4.【解析】选A。根据前文. . . no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers及There were 129 of them可知选A项。‎ ‎5.【解析】选D。根据前文“Maximum speed: ‎50mph. ”及下文Saturday morning a No. 49 bus traveled the distance in ten minutes可知选D项。‎ B ‎【文章大意】交友会使你的幸福指数提高。‎ ‎6.【解析】选D。根据前文我收到一封电子邮件及邮件的内容：how I feel after interacting with different people and thinking who I feel good about可知答案为D项。‎ ‎7.【解析】选E。根据前文“她许诺我们一定会玩得很快乐”可知答案为E项。‎ ‎8.【解析】选F。根据后文“我接受了她的邀请”可知此处应是给予她回复，故选F项。‎ ‎9.【解析】选C。根据后文“some said they didn’t see themselves as optimistic people”可知选C项。‎ ‎10.【解析】选B。本句是本段的主题句。根据后文researchers measured the happiness of 4, 739 people. . . 及The study found that. . . 可知选B项。‎
