阅读提速练(七)‎ ‎ (建议用时：40分钟)‎ 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)‎ 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。‎ A ‎ (2019·河南五校高三下学期联考)There are dozens of movie recommendation engines on the Web. They’re all different, but some are definitely better than others.‎ Rotten Tomatoes Instead of telling Rotten Tomatoes which films you like, you can tell it what kind of films you enjoy, which actors you want to see, and other standards to help it find the best movie for you. There’s a lot of variability in the quality of Rotten Tomatoes recommendations but it’s also a nice way to find the right film for any mood.‎ Netflix Netflix asks you to rate(划分等级) movies to determine which films you’ll want to see next. And although it does make it easy to rate movies and it does return huge lists, the ideas it gives you aren’t all that strong. It’s easy to use, but it’s not the best way to get movie recommendations. ‎ Jinni Whether you want to search for films based on your mood, time available, or reviews, the site has it all. But Jinni’s most amazing feature is its semantic(语义的)search. You can enter a term like “films that show Chris Farley yelling” and the site will return films that match your question. Go to use Jinni. You won’t regret it!‎ Criticker Instead of just allowing you to rank films, Criticker compares your ratings to those of other users and see how closely your tastes match those of other users. Once the service finds matches, you can view these users’ lists and see which movies they like.‎ ‎1．Which one does the author recommend most?‎ A．Rotten Tomatoes.　　　　 B．Netflix.‎ C．Jinni. D．Criticker.‎ ‎2．What makes Criticker special?‎ A．Comparing users’ ratings.‎ B．Ranking your favourite films.‎ C．Offering different standards.‎ D．Finding films based on mood.‎ ‎3．What is the purpose of the text?‎ A．To recommend the best online movies.‎ B．To show how to use movie search engines.‎ C．To introduce several movie search engines.‎ D．To explain how to find the best online movies.‎ B ‎ (2019·深圳高三第一次调研)Kevin, diagnosed with dyslexia(诵读困难症), rarely spoke a word in class, and if he did, it would be a “Yes”， “No”， or “Maybe” in response to questions. He always scored badly in tests and saw no hope for the future. That was until he met Sarah, an advisor at a youth center Kidpreneur.‎ In 2012, Kevin attended a course called Ready Set Go in that center. The course was for disadvantaged kids in Kingswood—a lowincome area in Sydney’s western suburbs—and its goal was to teach the kids how to create businesses and offer value to the neighborhood.‎ At the end of the course, Sarah took the kids to the local area. She asked volunteers to share their business experiences—Kevin immediately put up his hand. His challenge was to trade his hot dog selling service for free bread at a bakery. Although scared, Kevin was able to share his entrepreneurial story(创业故事) with the shop owner and asked if he could exchange his service for some bread. Unexpectedly, the shop owner told Kevin how moved he was by his story and handed him some bread for free. By the end of the afternoon, his belief in himself and what was possible was at an alltime high.‎ The following week, Kevin sold 70 hot dogs in two hours and made over $200. Soon after, he delivered public speeches in 20 schools, and was selected as part of his school’s leadership team. Now he heads a business group working on how to increase the potential customer base.‎ All of this would not have been possible if Kevin had not found his passion and perseverance to improve himself, and those around him. The guidance and trust of his advisor also helped to kindle his enthusiasm to go after his goals and dreams in life.‎ ‎4．What were the kids expected to achieve in the Ready Set Go course?‎ A．To improve their test scores.‎ B．To create a hot dog business.‎ C．To teach in lowincome areas.‎ D．To be beneficial to the local area.‎ ‎5．How did Kevin feel after visiting the local bakery?‎ A．Scared.　　　　　　 　　 B．Confident.‎ C．Touched.

Sadly, the elephant died in 1258.‎ Poor treatment and cramped conditions meant many of the animals did not survive for long.But the Royal Menagerie continued to grow.Edward Ⅰ created a permanent new home for the Royal Menagerie at the western entrance to the Tower，which became known as the Lion Tower.The terrifying sounds and smells of wild animals must have both impressed and scared visitors.‎ By 1622, the collection had been extended to include three eagles, two pumas, a tiger and a jackal, as well as lions and leopards, who were the main attractions.‎ However, the end of the Royal Menagerie came in the 1830s. Campaigners had begun to raise concerns, and the animals were expensive, occasionally dangerous and a nuisance to the guardsmen.The Duke of Wellington sent 150 of the beasts to a new zoo in Regent’s Park, today’s London Zoo.‎ Despite Alfred Cops’s best efforts to carry on，several further incidents including an escaped wolf and a monkey that bit a guardsman’s leg convinced King William Ⅳ to shut down the Royal Menagerie for good in 1835.The remaining animals were sold to zoos and travelling shows and the Lion‎ ‎Tower was later demolished.‎ ‎8．What do we know about the elephant presented in 1255?‎ A．It caused big trouble.‎ B．It received much attention.‎ C．It lived painfully in the Lion‎ ‎Tower.‎ D．It died before the polar bear came in.‎ ‎9．How many types of animals at the Royal Menagerie are mentioned in the text?‎ A．Eight.　　　　　　　 B．Nine.‎ C．Ten. D．Eleven.‎ ‎10．For what reason was the Royal Menagerie closed at last?‎ A．Security concerns.‎ B．The decline of tourism.‎ C．Pressure from campaigners.‎ D．The financial burden to raise the animals.‎ ‎11．Which is the best title for the text?‎ A．The Royal Menagerie B．Gifts Presented to the King C．Tourist Attractions in ‎London D．Miserable Life in the ‎Lion‎ ‎Tower D ‎(2019·济南高三模拟)We humans love to stare into our smart devices. We gaze for hours—about 10 hours and 39 minutes a day—at our computers, smartphones, tablets and televisions. Is all this staring bad for us? It might be, mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light.‎ Blue light is a type of electromagnetic(电磁的) radiation with a very short wavelength that produces a high amount of energy. While it’s true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances, there’s no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes. But many people still think it is, which is why bluelightblocking glasses are so popular. So do the glasses work?‎ ‎“Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye, but there’s no evidence that it may be causing serious damage，” Dr. Rahul Khurana, clinical spokesman for the American‎ ‎Academy of Ophthalmology, told Business Insider.‎ Blue light exposure is nothing new. In fact, the sun is the largest source of blue light. Moreover, blue light is also present in LED light. But if blue light isn’t harmful, then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when we’re looking at our screens? The answer is eyestrain(眼疲劳): More than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain. And blue light, it seems, isn’t the cause. Instead, our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices. So if eyestrain is the issue, bluelightblocking glasses are probably of little use.‎ ‎12．What do we know about blue light?‎ A．It is a kind of nuclear radiation.‎ B．It has the shortest wavelength.‎ C．It may come from electronic devices.‎ D．It consumes a great deal of energy.‎ ‎13．What causes the popularity of bluelightblocking glasses?‎ A．Evidence of their benefits to eyes.‎ B．Belief in blue light’s harmful effect.‎ C．Widespread use of smart devices.‎ D．Scientific understanding of blue light.‎ ‎14．What can be inferred from paragraph 4?‎ A．Blue light exposure is hardly avoidable.‎ B．Eye problems are not easy to deal with.‎ C．Blue light may connect with tired eyes.‎ D．Rubbing eyes makes people strained.‎ ‎15．According to the text, wearing bluelightblocking glasses may be ________．‎ A．tiring B．harmful C．useless D．beneficial 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎(2019·山西六校第二次阶段性测试)Schools consume a large amount of energy, which has a bad effect on the environment. 16.________， there are lots of ways that you can help your school save energy. Look for simple changes your school can make and band together with others to make an even bigger effect.‎ ‎17．________. Even something as simple as turning off the lights when you leave a room can help to save energy. Turn off the lights in classrooms that are not being used and in other areas, such as empty bathrooms and unoccupied multipurpose rooms.‎ Use natural light when the sun is bright.

There may be times of day when the sun is especially bright and enough for what you are doing in your classroom. 18.________．‎ Set up a recycling station at your school.

Yon won’t regret it！，去使用Jinni，你不会后悔的。据此可以推断，作者最推荐的是Jinni，故C项正确。‎ ‎2．A　解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“Instead of just allowing you to rank films, Criticker compares your ratings to those of other users and see how closely your tastes match those of other users.”可知，Criticker不仅允许你对电影进行排名，还将你的评分与其他用户的评分进行比较，看看你的品味与其他用户的品味的匹配程度。据此可知，Criticker的特别之处在于它能比较用户的评分，故A项正确。‎ ‎3．C　解析：写作意图题。通读全文内容，并根据文章第一段“There are dozens of movie recommendation engines on the Web. They’re all different, but some are definitely better than others.”可知，本文主要介绍了四个较好的电影推荐引擎，故C项正确。‎ ‎【解题导语】　患有诵读困难症的凯文对未来一片茫然，在遇到指导老师萨拉后，他的生活发生了变化，最后成为一个商业集团的负责人。‎ ‎4．D　解析：细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词“Ready Set Go”定位到文章第二段，再根据第二段第二句中的“its goal was to teach the kids how to create businesses and offer value to the neighborhood”可知，Ready Set Go这个课程的目标是教孩子们如何创办企业以及如何为社区提供价值，故选D项。‎ ‎5．B　解析：推理判断题。根据文章第三段最后一句“By the end of the afternoon, his belief in himself and what was possible was at an alltime high.”并结合上文可知，刚开始凯文是害怕的，但经过努力，到下午结束时，他对自己和可能发生的事情的信心空前高涨。由此可推知B项“有信心的”正确。‎ ‎6．A　解析：词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段第一句“All of this would not have been possible if Kevin had not found his passion and perseverance to improve himself, and those ‎ around him.”可知，如果没有激情和毅力，凯文无法提升自我并影响周围的人，所有这些也就不可能实现。从上文可知，是凯文的指导老师萨拉对他的指导和信任帮助他激发了追求目标和梦想的热情，故A项最符合文章语境。‎ ‎7．D　解析：标题归纳题。通读全文并结合文章第一段第二句“He always scored badly in tests and saw no hope for the future.”以及第四段最后一句“Now he heads a business group working on how to increase the potential customer base.”可知，患有诵读困难症的凯文对未来一片茫然，在遇到指导老师萨拉后，他的生活发生了变化。他找到了他的创业热情，最后成为一个商业集团的负责人。故D项最适合作文章标题。‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了著名的伦敦塔中皇家动物园的历史。‎ ‎8．B　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“In 1255, the King of France sent the first elephant never seen in England and people flocked together to see the novel sight.”可知，1255年，法国国王送给英国一头大象，英国人第一次见到大象，人们成群结队地去观看；据此可知，1255年被赠送的这头大象引起了很大的关注，故B项正确。‎ ‎9．C　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，该处提及“野猫”，很可能就是狮子；根据第三段第一句可知，该处提及“白熊”；根据第三段第二句可知，该处提及“大象”；根据第五段可知，到1622年，收藏范围扩大至包含三只鹰、两只美洲狮、一只老虎和一只胡狼、狮子和豹子；根据尾段第一句可知，该处提及狼和猴子；据此可知，该动物园中一共提及十种动物，故C项正确。‎ ‎10．A　解析：细节理解题。根据尾段第一句“Despite Alfred Cops’s best efforts to carry on, several further incidents including an escaped wolf and a monkey that bit a guardsman’s leg convinced King William Ⅳ to shut down the Royal Menagerie for good in 1835.”可知，由于发生了危险事件，包括逃跑的狼和猴子咬人，故威廉四世终于决定永久关闭这家动物园，故A项正确。‎ ‎11．A　解析：标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了伦敦塔中皇家动物园的历史，故A项最能概括文意。‎ ‎【长难句分析】　These are the ancestors of the three lions that still appear on the England football team’s shirts today.‎ 分析：该句为主从复合句。句中“that still appear on the England football team’s shirts today”为that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词“the three lions”，引导词在从句中作主语。‎ 译文：这些是现今仍出现在英格兰足球队衬衫上三头狮子的祖先。‎ ‎【解题导语】　该文主要探讨了蓝光是否对我们的眼睛有害的问题。‎ ‎12．C　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“It might be, mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light.”可推知，电子设备会发出蓝光。‎ ‎13．B　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“there’s no scientific evidence suggesting that ‎ blue light is harmful to our eyes. But many people still think it is, which is why bluelightblocking glasses are so popular.”可知，防蓝光眼镜流行的原因是人们认为蓝光会对眼睛有害。‎ ‎14．A　解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的前三句“Blue light exposure is nothing new. In fact, the sun is the largest source of blue light. Moreover, blue light is also present in LED light.”可知，阳光是蓝光最大的来源，而且蓝光也存在于LED灯中。由此可推知，接触蓝光几乎是不可避免的。‎ ‎15．C　解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“So if eyestrain is the issue, bluelightblocking glasses are probably of little use.”可知，戴防蓝光眼镜可能是没有用处的。‎ ‎【长难句分析】　While it’s true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances, there’s no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes.‎ 分析：本句是一个主从复合句。while引导让步状语从句；第一个that引导主语从句；第二个that引导宾语从句，在从句中不作句子成分。‎ 译文：尽管在某些情况下光会伤害我们的眼睛是真的，但是没有科学证据表明蓝光对我们的眼睛有害。‎ 第二节 ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文，从四个方面阐述如何在校园中节约能源、保护环境。‎ ‎16．B　解析：考查上下文的衔接。根据句子的结构判断，本句是一个从句，七个选项中只有B、C和G三个选项符合要求。根据语境可知，此处表示“不管你是老师还是学生，总有许多可以帮助你们学校节约能源的方法”。故答案为B。‎ ‎17．E　解析：考查段落主旨句。本段主要讲述在离开教室等地方的时候关灯以便节约能源。本段中的一些提示词，如“turning off the lights”“Turn off the lights”等也暗示了本题的答案。‎ ‎【技巧点拨】　七选五侧重考查文章的语篇结构和逻辑关系，通过相应段落中一些复现的提示词确定答案是做题时一个常用而有效的方法。‎ ‎18．F　解析：考查细节支撑句。本段主要讲述当教室内光线充足时使用自然光。空前句子中的“times of day”与F项中的“Other times of day”形成对应关系。‎ ‎19．C　解析：考查上下文的衔接。本段谈论在学校内设置回收站回收可循环使用的材料。C选项中的“one”指代主题句中的“a recycling station”。‎ ‎20．A　解析：考查承上启下句。根据下文的“put up signs”“using signs”“some signs”提示词可以判断答案为A。‎
