(2015·山西省四校联考)
Selena Gomez a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd I are scheduled to meet at a low key coffee shop in Encino. Not wanting to keep the superstar waiting, I arrived at nine, 20 minutes early. As I was catching up on e mails, Selena quietly scooted into the seat next to me. No bodyguard. Not even a drop of makeup. She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much. Selena was wearing Bebe shorts. She had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate.
After making ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) small talk about what she wore for the shoot, she dived into the subject of her career. Selena declared 2012 the year of movies. She filmed three: Spring Breakers, a drama; The Getaway, an action flick; and Hotel Transylvania, a comedy. Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.
Now that her Disney ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )days are behind her, Selena is at that unstable point in a child star's career where she is trying to grow up—both as a person(she turned 20 in July)and as an artist. “Being part of the Disney Channel was such a blessing, and I'm super happy with what my show accomplished, but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.” She continued, “I don't necessarily feel accomplished. I want to creat a whole different persona when it comes to acting.”
Selena has been wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rking fulltime since she was seven years old and scored a role on Barney&Friends. In 2007, when she was offered the lead in Wizards of Waverly Place, Selena, her mother, and her stepfather uprooted from Grand Prairie, Texas, to LA, where they are settling now.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
An American research c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ompany shows that $248.7 billion online sales are expected by 2014. It seems as if we can’t get enough of spending money through countless online clicks today. Following are some of the incredible things that you can buy online!
1) Parents
51-year-old Mich ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ael Amatrudo from Connecticut put a posting on Craig list in 2009 to sell his elderly parents, asking for $155 in return.
2) Chewing Gum
Bidding for Britne ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y Spears’ chewing gum reached $14,000 in 2004. The pop star’s half-eaten sandwich also went for over $500.
3) Kidney Stone
Star Trek ac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tor William Shatner sold his kidney stone for $20,000 when he put it up for sale online to see how much a piece of him was worth. He ended up giving the money to charity.
4) An Imaginary Friend
This imaginar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y guy went (or might still be going) by the name of Jon Malipieman and was sold on eBay for $3,000 by a man who claimed:
“My imaginary fr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iend Jon Malipieman is getting too old for me now. I am now 27 and I feel I am growing out of him. He is very friendly. Along with him, I will send you what he likes and dislikes, his favorite things to do and his personal self portrait.”
5) Souls
The website demonica ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l.com is probably the creepiest site I have ever visited. You can sell your own soul or buy the souls of people such as Fidel Castro and Woody Allen (both selling for $950). Bill Gate, whoever that is, has his soul for sale at $1,300 while Michael Jacobsen’s soul is being sold for $3000.
6) A Rock That Looks Like Meat
The screen shot fro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m eBay tells us that people are bidding over $1 million for this “naturally formed bbq pork rock”. Absolute madness.
25. What is the author’s purpose for writing the passage
A. To introduce some unbelievable things online.
B. To call on customers to resist the products.
C. To attract readers to visit the related websites.
D. To encourage readers to buy the things online.
26. Which is p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )robably sold at the highest price according to the passage
A. Chewing Gum. B. Kidney Stone.
C. An Imaginary Friend. D. A Rock That Looks Like Meat.
27. According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the text, _____ is most likely to have starred in a film.
A. Britney Spears B. William Shatner
C. Jon Malipieman D. Fidel Castro
28. What can be inferred from the text
A. Michael Amatrudo c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )harged a high price for selling his elderly parents.
B. William Shatn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er sold the kidney stone so as to donate the money to charity.
C. Jon Malipieman was sold because he was not wanted any longer.
D. The soul of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Michael Jacobsen is worth more than that of Woody Allen.

2016高考英语阅读理解——人物传记/故事类
Researchers from ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) France and Italy discovered that Canadian parents are less strict with their children than mothers and fathers in France and Italy.
“Our most important finding was the difference between Canadians and the others，” said Professor Michel Claes，the lead author of the study.“Canadians focus on independence and negotiation．On the other hand，Italians，for example，exercise more control．We found Canadians seem to focus on negotiation in case of a conflict.”
Claes said Canada，France and Italy were selected for the study because they share important cultural and social factors.“We chose French Canadians because they share the same language as France，and originally came from France and share certain values．Italy was included because it was considered to have similar，strong and important family values，” he explained.
The researchers examined the emotional ties between parents and their children by questioning 1,256 students aged 11 to 19 years old.
Canadian students reported less control and more free actions，according to the study．Italian parents were stricter and French parents were somewhere in the middle.
Claes explains that the differences lie in education in Canada，France and Italy.
“North America has its own educational values，which promote individualization．Tolerance and comprehension are encouraged．Italy，on the other hand，promotes respect of authority，control，and the need for permission.” he said.
Children from all three countries described their mothers as warm and communicative．Italian and Canadian children had similar feelings about their fathers，and reported high levels of emotional ties．But French fathers were generally thought by their children to be more distant and cold.
“We were surprised by this，” Claes admitted.“It seems as though the relationships between French mothers and their children were becoming closer over time，while fathers maintain a form of distance and coldness，which is more of a source of conflict in France than in the other countries.”
【小题1】Professor Michel Claes believes that Canada，France and Italy ________.
A．have the same family spirit
B．have some similar cultural traditions
C．have experienced some similar social changes
D．have experienced similar cultural developments
【小题2】How did the researchers carry out the study
A．By collecting answers of parents from Canada，France and Italy.
B．By collecting answers of children from Canada，France and Italy.
C．By questioning pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rents and their children from Italian Canadian families.
D．By questioning children from French Canadian families.
【小题3】According to Mi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )chel Claes，what mainly leads to the differences in parent children relationships among Canada，France and Italy
A．Educational opportunities. B．Traditional ideas.
C．Educational values. D．Historical events.
【小题4】Which of the following is NOT a finding of the study
A．French children have troubled relationships with their parents.
B．Canadian children have close relationships with their parents.
C．Italian children have good relationships with their parents.
D．Kids from Canada，France and Italy have closer ties with their moms.

社会生活类阅读理解。
July 27th, 2010 was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a typical English summer’s day—it rained for 24 hours! As usual, I rushed home from work at midday to check on the house. Nothing was amiss. By the time I left work at 5pm, however, the road into our village was flooded. Our house had never been flooded but, as I opened the front door, a wave of water greeted me. Thank God the kids weren’t with me, because the house was 5 feet deep in water. We lost everything downstairs.
At first we tried to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )push on through. We didn’t want to move the children out of home, so we camped upstairs. We put a sheet of plastic across the floor to protect us from the damp. But after three months, we felt very sick, so we moved to a wooden house in a park. The house was small, but at first we were all just delighted to be in a new place. Unfortunately, things took longer than expected and we were there for 10 months. The life there was inconvenient. What surprised me most was how much I missed being part of a community (社区). We had lived in a friendly village with good neighbours, and I’d never thought how much I’d miss that.
Although our ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) situation was very hard, it’s difficult to feel too sorry for yourself when you look at what’s happening elsewhere. I watched a news report about floods in Northern India and thought, “We didn’t have a straw hut (茅草房) that was swept away, and our house is still standing. We’re lucky.”
We moved bac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )k home in August. With December coming, there’s still reconstruction work to be done, so it’s difficult to prepare for Christmas. But I can’t wait—I’m going to throw a party for our friends in the village to say thanks for their support. This year, I won’t need any gifts—living away from home for months has made me realize how little we actually need or miss all our possessions. Although we are replacing things, there’s really no rush—we have our home back, and that’s the main thing.
1. The underlined word “amiss” in the first paragraph means .
A. wrong B. missing C. right D. difficult
2. Why does the autho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r say that they were lucky in the third paragraph
A. Because they were able to move to a new place.
B. Because many other places were flooded.
C. Because their straw hut was not swept away.
D. Because some others suffered even more.
3. It can be inferred from the text that the author .
A. was sick of staying upstairs
B. cared much about her children
C. could not stand living in a wooden house
D. did not deal well with her family affairs during the flood
4. What does the author mainly want to express by telling herstory
A. She valued human feelings more than before.
B. She realized she almost didn’t need possessions.
C. She found Christmas gifts no longer badly needed.
D. She thought her own home was the most important.

A new study s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑)．
Students are increasin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gly using laptops for note taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度)．But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.
Researchers perfor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )med experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes“mindlessly”by taking down word for word what the professors said.
In the first experimen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t，students were given either a laptop or pen and paper.They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note taking skills.Thirty minutes after the talk，they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.
The researchers found ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand.However，the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts.Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.
The researchers' repo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rt said，“While more notes are beneficial，if the notes are taken mindlessly，as is more likely the case on a laptop，the benefit disappears.”
In another exper ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iment aimed at testing long term memory，students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture.This time，the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.
These two experi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding，but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.
1．More and more s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tudents favor laptops for note taking because they can________.
A．write more notes B．digest concepts better
C．get higher scores D．understand lectures better
2．While taking notes，laptop users tend to be________.
A．skillful B．mindless C．thoughtful D．tireless
3．The author of the passage aims to________.
A．examine the importance of long term memory
B．stress the benefit of taking notes by hand
C．explain the process of taking notes
D．promote the use of laptops
4．The passage is likely to appear in________.
A．a newspaper advertisement
B．a computer textbook
C．a science magazine
D．a finance report
答案：
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。本文揭示 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )实验研究的结果，用笔记本电脑记笔记的人记忆和应用概念的能力较差，而用手记笔记的人在考试中的表现更好。
1．A 解析：细节理解题。根 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )据第二段第一句“Students are increasingly using laptops for note taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度)”可知，学生越来越多地使用笔记本电脑记笔记是因为它的速度和清晰度，这说明用笔记本电脑记笔记速度快、记得多。故选A。
2．B 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段第二 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )句“But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught”可知，研究已经发现笔记本电脑的使用者没能记住和应用教给他们的概念。由此可推知，笔记本电脑的使用者在记笔记时是不动脑子的。故选B。
3．B 解析：推理判断题。本文通过实验发现了用笔记本电脑记笔记的不良效果和用手记笔记的优势，两者相比突出了用手记笔记的好处。故选B。
4．C 解析：推理判断题。根据文章内容可 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )知，本文揭示实验研究的结果，用笔记本电脑记笔记的人记忆和应用概念的能力较差，而用手记笔记的人在考试中的表现更好。由此可推知，本文应该出现在科学杂志里。故选C。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
People do not a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nalyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking. They try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.
First the person m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ust recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot read it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next the thinker must ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find out the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.
Now the person mu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gears carefully.
After studyi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.
Eventually one ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.
Finally the solu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tion is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short , he has solved the problem.
29. What is the best title for this passage
A. Six Stages for Repa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iring Sam’s Bicycle B. Possible Ways to Problem-solving
C. Necessities of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Problem Analysis D. Suggestions for Analyzing a Problem
30. By referrin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g to Sam’s broken bicycle, the author intends to _________.
A. illustrate ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the ways to repair his bicycle B. discuss the problems of his bicycle
C. tell us how to solv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e a problem D. show us how to analyze a problem
31. Which of the following is NOT true
A. People do not analyze the problem they meet.
B. People often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.
C. People may learn from their past experience.
D. People can not solve some problems they meet.
32. As used in the la ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st sentence, the phrase “in short” means _________.
A. in the long run B. in detail C. in a word D. in the end

Should we allow ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons—for example, economic(经济的) reasons—why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed
In my view, new archit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的) and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.
【小题1】What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph
A．Some of them are not attractive.
B．Most of them are too expensive to preserve.
C．They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
D．They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
【小题2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the author
A．We should reproduce the same old buildings.
B．Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.
C．No one understands why people speak against new buildings.
D．Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.
【小题3】By “move things f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orward”in the last paragraph, the author probably means “_________”．
A．destroy old buildings
B．choose new architectural style
C．put things in a different place
D．respect people's feelings for historical buildings
【小题4】What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To explain why people dislike change.
B．To warn that we could end up living in caves.
C．To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
D．To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.

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。
Canadian women have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a long tradition of contributing to the arts as writers，visual artists and musicians.By the 20th century careers in many fields were opening up to more women，and writers and artists such as Gabrielle Roy are part of an important tradition in Canadian life.
Gabrielle Roy's earl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y determination to become a writer led to a great success and a very long list of books to her reputation.Gabrielle had to work hard at school.The money she won for her final examination results paid for her first year at the Winnipeg Normal Institute.In 1929，when her father died，she began to teach school and continued to teach and to contribute her wages to her family until 1937.
While living in Paris ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and London，Gabrielle Roy began her career as a writer.In 1943 she wrote a series of articles on the poor in Montreal which formed the basis for her first novel，The Tin Flute ，published in 1945.
The publicati ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on of The Tin Flute established Roy's credit as a novelist and provided her with greater financial security than she had ever known.
Over the next 20 ye ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ars she published one book after another.She won the Governor General's Award in 1955 for Street of Riches.Roy also wrote two volumes of stories for children，Ma Vache Bossie published in 1976，and Courts Queue in 1979.Between these years，she published her last novel Children of My Heart，which spoke of her love for children.
Before she died i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n 1983 Gabrielle wrote an autobiography, Enchantment and Sorrow，which was published in 1984.Although she wrote in French，her works were frequently translated into English (and many other languages as well)，ensuring that they would leave an enduring(持久的)mark on the cultural life of her country.
1．________made a basis for Gabrielle's success as a novelist.
A．The Tin Flute B．Street of Riches
C．Courts Queue D. Enchantment and Sorrow

a．She worked at school.
b．She began her career as a writer.
c．She expressed her love for children.
d．She won the Governor General's Award.
A．a，b，d，c B．a，c，b，d

答案：A 推理判断题。a的时间为1929年；b为1937—1943年间；c为1976—1979年间；d为1955年。故选A项。
3．What CANNOT be inferred about Gabrielle
A．She suffered economic hardship during school years.
B．She was unhappy and bored while teaching at school.
C．She has won respect not only in Canada.

4．What will probably be talked about after the sixth paragraph
A．Another Canadian woman.
B．Canadian man's contributions.
C．A Canadian woman musician.
D．Gabrielle's achievement in the art.
答案：D 推理判断题。文 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )章第一段提到“...writers and artists such as Gabrielle Roy are part of an important tradition in Canadian life.”，接下来各段介绍了加布里耶拉在文学上的成就，由此可知，下面应该就是介绍加布里耶拉作为艺术家所取得的成就。

Given that many peo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ple’s moods(情绪)are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate,it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine.Looking like a setting from the film Charlie&the Chocolate Factory,Singapore’s Chocolate Research Facility (CRF) has over 100 varieties of chocolates.Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents’ corner store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.
If the CRF seems to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) be a smart idea,that’s because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi’s and Sony.That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored(味道)chocolates.
The CRF’s produce ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is “green”,made within the country and divided into 10 lines,with the Alcohol Series being the most popular.The Exotic Series—with Sichuan pepper,red bean(豆),cheese and other flavors—also does well and is fun to taste.And for chocolate snobs,who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others,the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo,Cuba,Venezuela ,and Ghana,among others.
1.What is good about chocolate ( )
A.It serves as a suitable gift.
B.It works as an effective medicine.
C.It helps improve the state of mind.
D.It strengthens business relations.
2.Why is Chris Lee able to develop his idea of the CRF ( )
A.He knows the importance of research.
B.He learns from shops of similar types.
C.He has the support of many big names.
D.He has a lot of marketing experience.
3.Which line of the CRF produce sells best ( )
A.The Connoisseur Series.
B.The Exotic Series.
C.The Alcohol Series.
D.The Sichuan Series.
4.The words “chocola ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )te snobs” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to people who .
A.are particular about chocolate
B.know little about cocoa beans
C.look down upon others
D.like to try new flavors
语篇解读:本文为说明文。主要介绍新加坡的CRF生产各种巧克力。

2.D 推理判断题。由第二段第一句中的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“that’s because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department...”可知,Lee不仅是一个经验丰富的销售员而且是一个与一些大品牌有业务往来的市场部经理,正是他丰富的市场经验使得他的理念得以发展。故选D项。
3.C 事实细节题。由最后一段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第一句The CRF’s produce is “green”,made within the country and divided into 10 lines,with the Alcohol Series being the most popular.可知选C项。
4.A 推理判断题。根据画线部分后的定 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )语从句“who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others”可知,chocolate snobs是指那些对巧克力非常熟悉的人,可推断出他们也是对巧克力比较挑剔的人,故选A项,be particular about意为“对……挑剔”。

About 21,000 young pe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ople in 17 American states do not attend classes in school buildings.Instead，they receive their elementary (初等) and high school education by working at home on computers.The Center for Education Reform says the United States has 67 public“cyberschools”，and that is about twice as many as two years ago.
The money for ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )students to attend a cyberschool comes from the governments of the states where they live.Some educators say cyberschools receive money that should support traditional public schools.They also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well.
Other educators pra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ise this new form of education for letting students work at their own speed.These people say cyberschools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools.They say learning at home by computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school.
Whatever the judgme ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nt of cyberschools，they are getting more and more popular.For example，a new cyberschool called Commonwealth Connections Academy will take in students this fall.It will serve children in the state of Pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen.

If you were a pilot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) flying a plane, and suddenly the engine failed, would you eject(跳出), or stay in For a pilot, the choice is very difficult. If he ejects, he is safe, but the plane crashes. If he stays in the plane, he risks his life.
Recently, Chinese Ai ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r Force pilot Li Feng, 38, faced this choice during a training exercise. It was March 7 and he was flying a Jian-10 (Fighter-10) at 4,500 meters. A warning appeared on the plane’s computer screen. He realized the plane might fail at any moment.
Li Feng did a qui ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ck check of the engine and asked the base if he could return. When the fighter was 7 km away from the airport, however, the engine stopped working. The plane began to fall at a speed of 25 meters a second at an altitude of 1,160 meters .
Under Air Force ru ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )les, fighter pilots may eject if their aircraft loses engine power below 2,000 meters and can't be restarted. Before Li lost contact with the control tower, the commander in the air base asked him to eject. But Li Feng insisted on having another try.
“I knew where the d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eadline (to give up the aircraft) was and was prepared for the ejection, but I decided not to give up unless the fighter was totally out of control,” Li recalled（回忆） during a recent television interview.
After 104 seco ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nds, Li was able to bring the fighter to a safe landing. The plane only suffered slight damage.
“You are a he ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ro! Congratulations!” Li's teacher, Xu Yongling wrote in a text message to him after the landing. He said Li was a cool-headed pilot and very professional(专业的).
Li's brave and calm a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ct not only saved the 200 million yuan aircraft but also gave him invaluable first-hand experience of dealing with an engine emergency(紧急情况).
For his outstanding pe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rformance, the Air Force recently awarded him a gold medal.
67. When the engine stopped working, Li Feng .
A. was flying a Jian-10 at 4,500 meters

Ever since they were ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )first put on the market in the early 1990s, genetically modified (GM, 转基因) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the world，mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis. But can GM technology solve world hunger problems Even if it would，is it the best solution
Despite what it pro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mises，GM technology actually has not increased the production potential(潜力)of any crop. In fact studies show that the most widely grown GM crop, GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report that analysed nearly two decades of research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.
Something else, h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )owever, has been on the rise. While GM seeds are expensive, GM companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides(杀虫剂). On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. “The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But neither is true，” said Bill Christison, President of the US National Family Farm Coalition.
At the same time ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a 2008 World Bank report.
As a matter of fact ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which “green” farming is supposed to be the first choice.
主要讲转基因技术并不是解决世界饥饿问题最好的方式。
13．The author develops the second paragraph mainly________.
A. by classification B. by comparison
C. by example D. by process
答案：C。写作手法题中的段落行文题 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。根据第二段第三行的for instance(例如)可知，C项(by example通过举例)正确，排除by classification“通过分类”/by comparison“通过类比”/by process“根据事物发展流程”。
14．What does the u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nderlined word “boost” in the third paragraph probably mean
A. Control. B. Evaluate.
C. Obtain. D. Increase.
答案：D。词义猜测题。 contro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l控制；evaluate评估，评价；obtain获得；increase增加，提高，根据前后文可知，boost在此相当于increase(增加生产量)。
15．GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from________.
A. practising “green” farming B. use of less chemicals
C. fair distribution of their crops D. using more crops for fuel
答案：B。事实细节题。通过题干中promise和benefit from分别定位到文章第三段第二行和第四行引号部分就可选出答案。

A. Optimistic. B. Defensive.
C. Disapproving. D. Casual.
答案：C。态度观点题。通读全文可知 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，本文主要讲转基因技术并不是解决世界饥饿问题最好的方式。A乐观的；B保护的；C不赞成的；D随便的，漫不经心的。显然C项是作者对于转基因技术的态度。辽宁法库县2016高考英语阅读理解训练题及参考答案

The world of taxi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) drivers is dominated by men.But there is one small taxi company in Delhi，where all the drivers and passengers are female.Women's safety is a hot topic in India at the moment，so it's proving a very popular service.
“When I'm on t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he road driving our taxi I feel very proud，because this is the first taxi service only for women，”says 31 year old Shanti Sharma，who is one of eight female drivers with a taxi service called Cabs for Women by Women.
The last couple of mon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ths，since the rape and murder in the city of a college student travelling on a bus，have been particularly busy for her and her colleagues.
“After this case，our ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )workload has increased so much，” says Sharma.“Women who used other cab services are also turning to us now.”
Most women in Delhi sa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y they routinely face harassment(骚扰)，and worse，especially on public transport.
Sharma，a single parent with three daughters，has been working as a taxi driver since 2011，when the service was first set up，and it has changed her life.This is the first time that she has earned enough—about 250 a month—to support her family.
Of course，she a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd the other female taxi drivers are completely outnumbered by male cabbies.“When I park somewhere there are always men there and inevitably five or six of them get together and hang out，” she says.“I'm usually the only woman in the parking lot，so I just stay inside the car.”
It's not much better w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hen she is out on the road.Sharma says the male drivers give her a hard time.“As soon as they see a woman at the wheel they start honking(按喇叭) for no reason.They'll try to overtake you.I'm always worrying about how to avoid getting hit by someone.”
The company b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ehind Cabs for Women by Women，Sakha Consulting Wings，had a number of goals when it set up the service.It wanted to give women from poor backgrounds an opportunity to earn money.By putting women in charge of technologies，it also wanted to change people's attitudes，and open up boundaries for women.

A few months bef ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ore I was born, my Dad met a stranger who was new to our small town. From the beginning, Dad was fascinated with this enchanting newcomer and soon invited him to live with our family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was around to welcome me into the world a few months later.
As I grew up, I n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ever questioned his place in my family. In my young mind, he had a special position. My parents were complementary instructors：Mom taught me the words, and Dad taught me to obey them. But the stranger... He was our storyteller. He would keep us spellbound for hours on end with adventures, mysteries and comedies.
If I wanted to kno ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w anything about politics，history or science，he always knew the answers about the past, understood the present and even seemed able to predict the future! He made me laugh, and he made me cry. The stranger never stopped talking, but Dad didn't seem to mind.
I now know that m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y early concepts about relationship were influenced strongly by the stranger. Time after time, he opposed the values of my parents, yet he was seldom blamed...and NEVER asked to leave.
More than fifty yea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs have passed since the stranger moved in with our family. He has blended right in and is not nearly as fascinating as he was at first. Still, if you were to walk into my parent's room today, you would still find him sitting over in his corner, waiting for someone to listen to him talk and watch him draw his pictures. His name
We just call him...“TV”．
He has a younger sister now. We call her“Computer”．
作者以生动形象的拟人手法描述了电视对自己的影响。
5．When the stranger came to live with our family, he was ________.
A. ingnored by t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he children B. driven away for no reason
C. abandoned ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) because it was too noisy D. accepted by every family member
答案：D。事实细节题。由首段尾句可知答案。
6．The stranger can d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o all the following things EXCEPT that he can ________.
A. tell us some funny stories B. reject our proposals
C. influence the children's character D. predict the future
答案：B。事实细节题。由第3段内容可知电视具有A、C、D项所说的功能，而不能“拒绝建议”，故按题意要求选B。
7．The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) word“spellbound” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ________.
A. concentrated B. puzzled
C. fascinated D. astonished
答案：C。词义猜测题。由第2段尾 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )句语境“数小时连续地看冒险故事、神秘故事和喜剧”可知应是“沉迷于，对……着迷的”，故答案为C。倒数第3段第2句中的fascinating也是暗示。本题易误选A，但是如果注意一下后面的介词就可排除，因为concentrate和on搭配。
8．What can we learn from the last three paragraphs of the passage
A. The computer is more advanced and has gained greater popularity.
B. Old as he is，we like the stranger best.
C. The TV set is out of fashion and often breaks down.
D. We decide to throw the TV set away immediately.
答案：A。推理判断题。文 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )章中提到电视伴随我们五十年，而现在它有了一个年轻的妹妹那就是电脑，说明了产品已推陈出新，暗示了电脑更先进更受人们青睐，故答案为A。

EP Portable Heater
We all know th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at the cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget.Now millions of people are saving on their heating bills with the EP portable heater.With over one million satisfied customers around the world,the new EP heats better and faster,saves more on heating bills,and runs almost silent.
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
The EP has n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o exposed heating parts that can cause a fire.The outside of the EP only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets.
The EP will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )not reduce oxygen in the room.With other heaters,you’ll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on because they are burning up oxygen.
The advanced EP also h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eats the room evenly,wall to wall and floor to ceiling.It comfortably covers an area up to 350 square feet.Other heaters heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat concentrated to the center of the room.And they only heat an area a few feet around the heater.With the EP,the temperature will not vary in any part of the room.
The EP comes with a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 3-year warranty(保修) and a 60-day,no questions asked,satisfaction guarantee.If you are not totally satisfied,return it at our expense and your money will be given back to you.
Now we have a special ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )offer for 10 days,during which you can enjoy a half price discount and a free delivery.If you order after that,we reserve the right to either accept or reject order requests at the discounted price.

语篇解读:本文是一篇说 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )明文,属于广告文体,介绍了一种新型的便携式暖风机。与其他的暖风机相比较,它有很多优点,且价格优惠。机不可失,失不再来。
答案及剖析:
1.B 段落主旨题。本段提到这种加热器没有可以引起火灾的外露部件,它的外部不会烧伤孩子或宠物,由此可知本段主要讨论的是这种加热器的安全性。
2.A 推理判断题。第三段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第一句提到这种加热器不会减少室内的氧气,下一句提到其他的加热器会因燃烧掉氧气而让你感到昏昏欲睡,由此可推断出这种加热器不消耗氧气,也不会让人昏昏欲睡,故A项正确。
3.D 猜测词义题。本段提到这种先进的加热器 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的覆盖面积多达350平方英尺,而其他的加热器的大部分热量只集中在房屋中央,再结合本段最后一句的内容可推测出这种加热器可以把热量“均衡”地散发到房间中,故选D项。
4.A 写作意图题。文章先是叙述了这种加热 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )器的种种优点,接着提到了优质服务和价格折扣,再结合最后一段中的内容可知,本文意在劝说人们购买这种产品。

Since 1984 ，Philadel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )phia has been cleaning up its act. One by one，graffiti covered walls are being changed into outdoor art. So far，more than 1,800 murals (壁画) have been painted. Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city.
The wall ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s that were once ugly with graffiti (涂鸦) are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program (MAP). Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphia's Anti Graffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAP's artistic director. “When people ask me what our program is about, ”she says，“I answer them with one word: hope.” Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some one time graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.
The MAP's work, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) says Golden, is all about developing a sense of community (社区). When a neighborhood requests a mural，the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been “Safe Streets，”“Love and Care, ”and “Peace Walk.”
The MAP rece ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year，the workers painted 140 murals.
“The making of a mural ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) enters people's collective memory as an extraordinary，pleasant moment in neighborhood history，”says Golden，who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.

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。
Howling is a behavi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )our commonly observed among a wolf pack.As pack animals，wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication among each other.There are different explanations of a wolf's howl and it appears that there may be more to discover.
One theory is th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at wolves howl to bond better together.It's almost as if howling together helps the pack stay together.Perhaps something similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when singing a song together. But this theory may be wrong，explains Fred H．Harrington，a professor who studies wolf behaviour.
Indeed，there have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorus，and the next，quarreling among each other.It appears that usually the lowest ranking members of the pack may actually be “punished” for joining in the chorus at times.So is howling a way to strengthen a social bond or just a way to reconfirm status among its members —Why do wolves howl for sure
What is clear，howev ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er，is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other.Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one another at times.When this happens，howling appears to be an excellent means of gathering.
Howling，interestin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gly，is a contagious behaviour.When one wolf starts to howl，very likely others will follow.This is often seen to occur in the morning，as if wolves were doing some sort of “roll call”where wolves all howl together to report their presence.
动物的嚎叫有其目的性，而人的对 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )唱也是为了呼唤同伴，所以人们认为两者在这一方面是相同的；但专家似乎发现，狼的嚎叫不仅仅是为了呼朋引伴，因为有时也会争斗，因此，研究之后，专家发现：狼的嚎叫可能是个传染形式的行为，有时也是为了呼唤同伴。
5．What is the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )possible similarity between wolves' howling together and humans' singing in chorus
A．The act of calling each other. B．The sense of accomplishment.
C．The act of hunting ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )for something. D．The sense of belonging to a group.
答案：D。细节判断题。从第二段的信息词“b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ond better together”以及“help the pack stay together”等可以确定两者的共同点与选项D的说法是一致的。
6．Why does Harrington think the“social bond”theory may be wrong
A．Wolves separate from each other after howling.
B．Wolves tend to protect their hunting grounds.
C．Wolves sometimes have quarrels after howling together.
D．Wolves of low rank are encouraged to join in the chorus.
答案：C。细节判断题。根据第三段中提到的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“and the next, quarrelling among each other”以及“it appears that...be punished for joining...”都可以表明选项C的说法是符合原文之意的。
7．Researchers are sure that wolves often howl to________.
A．show their ranks B．find their companions
C．report the missing ones D．express their loneliness
答案：B。细节判断题。根据倒 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )数第二段中的第一句话的信息词“locate each other”以及最后一句中的“appears to be an excellent means of gathering”都可以明确：狼的嚎叫正是为了找伴儿，故选项B的说法是最符合原文的。
8．“Howling.. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ).is a contagious behaviour”(in the last paragraph)means________.
A．howling is a signal for hunting B．howling is a way of communication
C．howling of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ten occurs in the morning D．howling spreads from one to another
答案：D。句意理解题。从最后一段中的第二句话中可以找到contagious一词的理解：一个随着一个的去做事情，如同选项D所说的那样。
