‎2019届二轮复习阅读理解专题七选五类型模拟试题10篇训练之十二 ‎[一]‎ ‎36. Such as runny noses, sore throats, nothing quite like the common cold to make you feel miserable. But experts believe that there is no link between cold weather and catching colds.37. ‎ Internal Medicine expert, Dr. Meenakshi Jain of Max Hospital says, “One reason could be that people are likely to stay indoors, so the virus can spread easily.38. ”‎ The common cold is a viral infection that can be caused by any of up to 250 strains of virus, the most common group of which is the rhinovirus that hits the nose.‎ ‎39. “They are transmitted through the nose respiratory passages, by touch, and by contact with airborne particles that are created by sneezing or coughing,” says Dr Jain.‎ There is no cure for the common cold and antibiotics are of no help. However, there are some precautions which can help:‎ ‎40. In this case, you can protect your hands from getting germs. ‎ Don’t touch your eyes, nose and mouth, which can limit your chances of infection.‎ Don’t share drinking glasses or utensils with anyone as this will prevent the spread of the virus.‎ Make sure to eat enough fruits to boost your immune system.‎ A. Wash your hands regularly.‎ B. Also the virus thrives in humidity.‎ C. Drink lots of fluids to avoid dehydration.‎ D. Get enough sleep and you’ll certainly feel better.‎ E. So why are we particularly vulnerable(脆弱的) this season?‎ F. It’s winter and you have probably noticed the germs are everywhere.‎ G. They are responsible for anywhere between a third and half of all common colds.‎ 答案:36~40 FEBGA ‎[二]‎ Evaluating Sources(来源) of Health Information Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinion, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources.36. ___________‎ Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study.37._________‎ Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behavior “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result.38. Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it. ‎ Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements.39. Evaluate “scientific” statements ‎ carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术). ‎ ‎40. Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us. ‎ Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about health problems will serve you well throughout your life.‎ A. Make choices that are right for you.‎ B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something.‎ C. Be sure to work through the critical questions.‎ D. And examine the findings of the original research.‎ E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.‎ F. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view.‎ G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.‎ 答案:36~40 GDFBA ‎[三]‎ How do you stay true to yourself when you’re surrounded by friends and /or family that have an opinion on everything you do? It’s not easy! 1. Here are 4 tips which can help you live a dynamic life.‎ ‎2. ‎ Stay true to yourself by listening to the only opinions that really matter—your own and those from people who believe in and encourage you. Deep down you know yourself better than anybody else.‎ Don’t fear people ‎3. The reason most people don’t take risks, or live on the edge is the fear of what others might think of them. If you want to live the life you truly deserve, you must give up the need to be liked by everybody. ‎ Value yourself and your choices When you do, others will too. Own the choices you make in your life.4. When you believe in yourself, in time, others will believe in you too. Show confidence in your choices, and what you stand for whether others agree or not. ‎ Focus on appreciation No matter what the circumstances are, there is always something to be grateful for. All successful people ask, “What am I grateful for/How can I improve my situation and use these tough times to inspire others?” 5. These steps, if applied, will help you transform your peace of mind, lifestyle, and productivity. ‎ A. Focus on your own talents and strengths B. Never let others’ opinions guide your choices C. Treat every person like they are important.‎ D. When you doubt yourself, others will doubt you.‎ E. Stay fearless in everything you will have to do.‎ F. Be thankful to life and be helpful to others, and you’ll lead a successful life.‎ G. However, there are great possibilities that you can lead the life you really want.‎ 答案:1~5 GBEDF ‎[四]‎ ‎1. To begin with, cleaning environment, enjoying the game with hundreds of sports athletes and entertainment stars, and the opportunity of contacting people from all over the world seem exciting to the citizens.2. In most cases, bidding for the Olympics is well supported by both the public and the central government. ‎ Unfortunately, this is not the entire view of the pretty picture. If we look from another angle, the Olympic bid might bring about some side effects to a city.‎ ‎3. They include the increasing pollution from cars, more pressure on water resources, plenty of wasted leaflets and other materials used for public activities, which are most probably neglected. In order to broaden the streets, some trees have to be cut down. Reduction of farmland may be caused by the need of setting up new sports centres or accommodation facilities. These environmental consequences can be especially serious in a resource-limited country. ‎ Besides, if we cannot well manage and organise the big event, it may not be so beneficial, and the new facilities may be forever empty after the games.4. ‎ Finally, let’s think about the low-income groups in the city.5. More tax, more fees, more expensive property prices, and higher cost of living. These definitely are not good news for them. ‎ A. We can only benefit from it for a short time.‎ B. What will they get from the Olympics bidding?‎ C. There are many reasons for not hosting the Olympic Games.‎ D. First of all, it will bring about a lot of environmental problems.‎ E. There have been cases that host cities ended up with large debts.‎ F. Besides, it will definitely promote the emotion and pride in local people.‎ G. Hosting the Olympics surely would bring about great gains to a city.‎ 参考答案:1~5 GFDEB ‎[五]‎ Everyone wants to help friends when they’re in trouble or have a major life decision to make. 1.________ That’s why it’s important to consider the when，how，what and why of giving advice to a friend.‎ ‎2．________ Always measure your words carefully，especially if the advice concerns love or money，and most often it will. Weigh the benefits and possible problems of your advice. People will take your words more seriously if it’s obvious that you take the time to sincerely analyze their situation.‎ Offer choices to solve the problem. 3.________ By listing choices，you can involve yourself in a discussion with them to arrive at a satisfactory course of action instead of warning them about what to do. Be concise(简练的) but specific about your suggestions，occasionally giving examples from your own experience.‎ Give the advice constructively. Try to use positive language. Let people know how to change ‎ for the better. Focus on how they can take steps to make their life better.4.________‎ Listen to your friends. 5.________ If people disagree with what you say，ask them why instead of getting defensive. Understand their situation，and be sensitive to the sadness or anger they express. Even though logic will solve their problem，be aware of the strong emotions connected with their situation.‎ A．Speak to your friends in private.‎ B．Think carefully before you speak.‎ C．If you give advice from the heart，it can help a person a lot.‎ D．They will feel more comfortable if you talk to them with sympathy.‎ E．Get as much information from them as possible before offering advice.‎ F．There’s no rule saying you should give your friends only one solution to problems.‎ G．By doing so，they’re more likely to accept your advice because meanwhile you’re encouraging them.‎ 参考答案:1－5.CBFGE ‎[六]‎ Feeling both positive and negative emotions is a natural part of being human. We might use the word “negative” to describe difficult emotions, but it doesn’t mean those emotions are bad or we shouldn’t have them. Still, most people would probably rather feel a positive emotion than a negative one.__36__‎ What matters is how our emotions are balanced—how much of each type of emotion, positive or negative, we experience.‎ Negative emotions warn us of threats or challenges that we may need to deal with. For example, fear can make us aware of possible danger.__37__Angry feelings warn us that someone is stepping on our toes, crossing a boundary, or losing our trust. Anger can be a signal that we might need to act on our own behalf.‎ Negative emotions focus our awareness.__38__ But too many negative emotions can make us feel anxious, exhausted, or stressed out. When negative emotions are out of balance, problems might seem too big to handle.‎ Positive emotions balance out negative ones, and they have other powerful benefits, too. Instead of narrowing our focus like negative emotions do, positive emotions affect our brains in ways that increase our awareness, attention, and ‎ memory. They help us take in more information and hold several ideas in mind at once.__39__‎ When positive emotions open us up to new possibilities, we are more able to learn and build on our skills.__40__‎ A. What helps you feel confident?‎ B. That leads to doing better on tasks and tests.‎ C. It’s a signal that we might need to protect ourselves.‎ D. They help us focus on a problem so we can deal with it.‎ E. For example, it’s likely you’d prefer to feel happy instead of sad.‎ F. And they then make us understand how different ideas relate to each other.‎ G. Pay attention to these powerful tools and find ways to make time for them.‎ 参考答案:‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文是议论文。文章论述了消极情绪和积极情绪的作用。‎ ‎36.E[E项是对上文most people would probably rather feel a positive emotion than a negative one的举例说明。]‎ ‎37.C[C项与上文的fear can make us aware of possible danger相呼应。]‎ ‎38.D[D项是对上文Negative emotions focus our awareness的进一步说明。]‎ ‎39.F[F项与上文的hold several ideas in mind at once相呼应。]‎ ‎40.B[B项中的That指代上文的learn and build on our skills，说明积极情绪的好处。]‎ ‎[七]‎ How much money do you really need to be happy?‎ So many of us work long, hard hours to provide for our families and children—often long hours away from home, maybe taking on extra jobs at times or hoping to get a raise in an effort to make our lives richer financially.__36__ But is there a point at which trying to earn extra money can be counter productive?‎ In the Sunday Review of The New York Times, Elizabeth Dunn and Michael Norton attempt to answer this question.‎ ‎__37__People who earn a good living are often happier than people who live in poverty. Having extra money can certainly improve the quality of our life by ‎ providing extra food and objects.‎ But the truth is that earning additional income will actually not lead to extra happiness, once you have already attained a “comfortable standard” where you have what you need to function and be content.__38__Here in the U.S., the standard falls around $75，000.Researchers found that higher family incomes were related to better moods on a day－to－day basis. However, the positive effects of money had no effect on people’s happiness and moods after a level of $75，000 was attained.‎ ‎__39__Beyond a strong work ethic (道德标准), or the desire to excel and compete with others, it appears that our ideas about money and happiness have gone wrong. Dunn and Norton explain that the idea that life would be happier with double the salary did not translate into any measurable happiness.__40__ People who earned $50，000 were only 9 percent more content than those making $25，000.‎ A. Then why do we work so hard?‎ B. What we do with our money is important.‎ C. Twice the money did not lead to twice the happiness.‎ D. It seems so many of us just aren’t content with what we have now.‎ E. There certainly is a relationship between your salary and happiness.‎ F. The “comfortable standard” can be quite variable based on where you live.‎ G. People who spend money on others rather than themselves are happier in the long run.‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文是议论文。文章论述了钱与快乐不成正比。‎ ‎36.D[D项与上文的often long hours away from home...richer financially相呼应。]‎ ‎37.E[E项是针对第一段所提问题的回答；下文People who earn a good living are often happier than people who live in poverty进一步说明了E项的内容。]‎ ‎38.F[F项与上文的comfortable standard相呼应；下文Here in the U.S.，the standard falls around $75，000是对F项的举例说明。]‎ ‎39.A[A项在此起承上启下的作用，引出人们关于金钱和快乐的错误观念。]‎ ‎40.C[C项与上文的the idea that life would be happier...measurable happiness及下文的People who earned $50，000 were only 9 percent more content than those making ‎ $25，000相呼应。]‎ ‎[八]‎ Tips for writing the college essay While some high school seniors begin to enjoy writing their college essay, others fail to see the importance of it.__36__ Creating the college essay is supposed to be a fun, and exciting task. It is a process of self－discovery. Some helpful tips：‎ ‎1.Have fun！__37__Relax, breathe and realize that this is the time to expose a side of you that a transcript (学生成绩单) cannot.‎ ‎2.__38__The worst thing you can do is pick an ordinary topic. Stay away from volunteer work, your dead dog and vacations. Admission counselors (入学辅导员) see thousands of essays a month; make sure your essay is distinct to your experience and personality. Do not focus on what you think they want you to write, but what is actually significant to you.‎ ‎3.Don’t try to make yourself a victim. Although it is effective to appeal to the emotions of an admission counselor, I do not recommend writing an essay about sad stories. Self－pity can be annoying, and most admission counselors do not want that to be their first impression of you. The only exception to this is if you have an inspiring struggle that you overcame.__39__‎ ‎4.Your essay is not a longer version of your resume (简历).If you sent in a resume, there is absolutely no need to restate what is on it. Many students like bragging (吹嘘) about how much they do. It is amazing that you are involved, but admission counselors do not only want to hear about how much you do, especially if they already see this on your resume.__40__‎ Good luck on your college essay!‎ A. It was received well by many.‎ B. Don’t settle for basic—be creative!‎ C. When you get upset, it is reflected in your work.‎ D. You can talk about how a work changed your life.‎ E. They want to see aspects of you that cannot be shown on a resume.‎ F. In some cases, these 600 words determine an acceptance or a rejection.‎ G. Make sure that the story is focused on your growth, not on the struggle.‎ 参考答案:‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章是写大学申请论文的几点建议。‎ ‎36.F[F项与上文的see the importance of it相呼应。]‎ ‎37.C[C项与本段小标题及下文的Relax, breathe相呼应，说明学生要让自己在心情好的情况下写大学申请论文，并从中找到乐趣。]‎ ‎38.B[由下文的The worst thing you can do is pick an ordinary topic...but what is actually significant to you可知，本段主要是说大学申请论文的内容要避免老套的话题，应该体现自己的独特性。故B项恰当。]‎ ‎39.G[G项与上文的have an inspiring struggle that you overcame相呼应。]‎ ‎40.E[E项与上文的admission counselors do not only want to hear about how much you do, especially if they already see this on your resume相呼应。]‎ ‎ [九]‎ Five simple things that are actually complex The proof for “1＋1＝2” is 300 pages long ‎__36__In the early 20th century, Bertrand Russell wanted to prove that mathematics worked, so he decided to start with the simplest concept and prove 1＋1＝2.However, it took the mathematician and philosopher 372 pages of complex sums.‎ Defining the word “the” is really difficult The word “the” is one of the most common words in English.__37__ For example, why do we say, “I have the flu，” but not “I have the headache？” In the Oxford English Dictionary, there are almost two dozen different ways the word can be used in a sentence correctly.‎ Yawning Some people say we yawn to keep us alert (警觉的) by taking in oxygen. However, various experiments have shown that yawning actually cools down the brain.__38__As for why yawning is contagious (感染性的), no one knows that either.‎ Left and right have been confusing philosophers for years Would you explain the concept of left and right in terms of your relative position ‎ to a well－known landmark (地标性建筑)？__39__It’s a question that has been puzzling philosophers for years because, without a point of reference, it’s difficult to define what left and right actually are.‎ ‎__40__‎ You’d think that the reason we enjoy things is because it feels good in some way, but it’s only half the story. There’s a famous experiment where wine experts were fooled into thinking a cheap bottle of wine was an outstanding one just by switching the labels. Their enjoyment of the product wasn’t based on appreciation of wine—it was based on the fact that they were told it was good wine.‎ A. What you feel may not be the truth B. We enjoy things for reasons other than enjoyment C. But what if you were talking to one who couldn’t see?‎ D. We all know that one plus one equals two, but do you know why?‎ E. In fact, there is no universally agreed theory for why we actually yawn.‎ F. Maybe you’d refer to the move of the Earth or something comparably huge.‎ G. Most of us have probably never stopped to think about how strange a word it actually is.‎ 参考答案:‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章列举了五件让人琢磨不透的简单事。‎ ‎36.D[根据本段标题可知，本段是介绍“关于1＋1＝2的论证有300多页”。D项中的one plus one equals two符合本段内容。]‎ ‎37.G[根据本空后的例子可知，同样是在说生病，但是有的时候用the，有的时候不用the，所以说the“这个词实际上非常奇怪”，只是因为它太常见了，所以“大部分人从来没想过这回事”。]‎ ‎38.E[本空前两句分别介绍了关于打哈欠的两种不同理论，由此可推测“实际上，关于我们为什么打哈欠现在还没有一个一致同意的理论”。本空后一句中的no one knows that either也提示了大家还不知道为什么会打哈欠、打哈欠为什么会传染。]‎ ‎39.C[根据本空前的内容可知，我们有时会以自己与某一地标性建筑的相对位置来定义左右，“但是如果我们是与一个盲人交谈呢”‎ ‎，又该如何定义左右呢？这也是为什么如何定义左右困扰了哲学家很多年。]‎ ‎40.B[根据本段列举的例子及最后一句Their enjoyment of the product wasn’t based on appreciation of wine—it was based on the fact that they were told it was good wine可知，“我们喜欢一样东西不是因为它能带给我们愉悦，而是因为其他的原因”。]‎ ‎[十]‎ How to Beat Depression (抑郁)and Loneliness Symptoms of depression and loneliness include sadness, loss of interest in activities, feelings of worthlessness, energy loss and having difficulty eating and sleeping. If you are experiencing depression and feelings of loneliness, recovery may seem impossible.__36__‎ Seek professional help to treat your depression. Talk with your general physician, friends and family if you need some advice or are nervous about seeking help.__37__This includes symptoms you have experienced, life changes that have contributed to your conditions, medicine you are taking and any questions you may face. After your appointment, stick to the treatment plan, take all medicine and attend your therapy sessions.‎ ‎__38__Talk about your feelings with others who have once suffered depression and loneliness. Ask your friends or loved ones for help and accept help when you need it.‎ ‎__39__Add daily physical activity to your schedule, such as walking or jogging. Eat healthy and balanced meals that include foods rich in Omega－3 fatty acids (脂肪酸), which can ease depression. Take part in some activities and relieve your stress.Get enough sleep at night and avoid alcohol and illegal drugs, as these can make your conditions worse.‎ Make an effort to take part in more social activities to beat loneliness. You can take a class to start a new hobby or learn a skill. Get together with friends and family regularly.__40__‎ A. Avoid isolating (孤立) yourself from others.‎ B. Turn to your friends and loved ones for help.‎ C. Choose a way that works best for you and stick to it.‎ D. Join a sports team to deal with depression and loneliness.‎ E. Write down information you want to share with your doctor in advance.‎ F. Lead an active lifestyle to beat depression and feelings of loneliness.‎ G. However, with proper treatment and support, it is possible to get through the period.‎ 参考答案:‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文是说明文，题材为日常生活类。介绍了如何战胜抑郁和孤独。‎ ‎36.G[本选项用一个转折句来点明文章的主旨，故选G。]‎ ‎37.E[本选项与下文分别介绍了见医生之前和之后应注意的事项，并且下一句中的This指代选项中的information you want to share with your doctor，故选E。]‎ ‎38.B[本段主要讲可以向朋友和亲人寻求帮助，故选B。]‎ ‎39.F[本段从运动、饮食、睡眠等生活习惯方面来说明如何通过积极的生活方式来战胜抑郁和孤独，注意D项只提到运动这一个方面，不能用来概括本段的主旨，故选F。]‎ ‎40.A[本段讲通过更多的社交活动来战胜抑郁和孤独，结尾提出避免孤立自己，与本段的主旨相对应，故选A。]‎
