山西靈丘縣2017高考英語閱讀理解九月自測題
閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。
Few of us haven’t read Cinderella, the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone’s heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity (默默無聞).
Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.
Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer, Joey Parker, appears.
Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind, handsome and desirable. Mary and Joey’s paths cross at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn’t get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her.
The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale. Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.
“The movie takes the Cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point,” writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson. “Yet the focus is firmly on following your dream.”

2. In the movie, Mary Santiago is the main character who _________.

A. Joey is just like other boys in Mary’s class.
B. The MP3 player helps Joey in finding Mary.
C. Not many people have a dream to be realized.
D. Mary’s mother influences her a lot in singing.
4. What does movie critic Amber Wilkinson mean by his words about Another Cinderella Story?

B. The movie is as good as the story Cinderella.

Human remains of ancient settlements will be reburied and lost to science under a law that threatens research into the history of humans in Britain, a group of leading archaeologists (考古學家) says. In a letter addressed to the justice secretary, Ken Clarke, 40 archaeologists write of their “deep and widespread concern” about the issue. It centres on the law introduced by the Ministry of Justice in 2008 which requires all human remains unearthed in England and Wales to be reburied within two years, regardless of their age. The decision means scientists have too little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance.
“Your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied, whether after a standard period of two years of further special extension, is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice,” they write.
The law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites, including the remains of 60 or so bodies found at Stonehenge in 2008 that date back to 3, 000 BC. Archaeologists have been granted a temporary extension to give them more time, but eventually the bones will have to be returned to the ground.
The arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as Happisburgh in Norfolk, where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans 950, 000 years ago. If human remains were found at Happisburgh, they would be the oldest in northern Europe and the first indication of what this species was. Under the current practice of the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed.
Before 2008, guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bones of sufficient age and historical interest, while the Burial Act 1857 applied to more recent remains. The Ministry of Justice assured archaeologist two years ago that the law was temporary, but has so far failed to revise it.
Mike Parker Pearson, an archaeologist at Sheffield University, said: “Archaeologists have been extremely patient because we were led to believe the ministry was sorting out this problem, but we feel that we cannot wait any longer.”
The ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied, or on what records should be kept.
1. According to the passage, scientists are unhappy with the law mainly because .
A. it is only a temporary measure on the human remains
B. it is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific research
C. it was introduced by the government without their knowledge
D. it is vague about where and how to rebury human remains
2. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Temporary extension of two years will guarantee scientists enough time.
B. Human remains of the oldest species were dug out at Happisburgh.
C. Human remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time.
D. Scientists have been warned that the law can hardly be changed.
3. What can be inferred about the British law governing human remains?
A. The Ministry of Justice did not intend it to protect human remains.
B. The Burial Act 1857 only applied to remains uncovered before 1857.
C. The law on human remains hasn’t changed in recent decades.
D. The Ministry of Justice has not done enough about the law.
4. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. New discoveries should be reburied, the government demands
B. Research time should be extended, scientists require
C. Law on human remains needs thorough discussion, authorities say
D. Law could bury ancient secrets for ever, archaeologists warn

閱讀理解------A
The young man arrived on the Massachusetts beach early carrying a radio, a shovel, and a strange set of tools: a brick layer’s trowel, a palette knife, spatulas, spoons, and a spray bottle.
He walked down near the water—the tide was out—put down the radio and tuned it to soft rock. Then he shoveled wet sand into a pile nearly four feet high and as many feet across. Then he created a rectangular（長方形的）shape.
After that, he set to work with palette knife, spatulas, and spoons. He shaped a graceful tower, topped walls, fashioned beautiful bay windows, and carved out big front gate.
The man knew his sand. He smoothly finished some surfaces and embroidered（雕刻）artistic designs on others. As the shapes began to dry, he gently kept them slightly wet with water from the spray bottle, in case they might break in the wind.
All this took hours. People gathered. At last he stood back, obviously satisfied with a castle worthy of the Austrian countryside or Disneyland.
Then he gathered his tools and radio and moved them up to drier sand. He had known for a while what many in the rapt（全神貫注的） crowd still overlooked: the tide was coming in. Not only had he practiced his art with confidence and style, he had done so against a powerful, immutable（不可抗拒的）deadline.
As the crowd looked on, water began to lap at the base of the castle. In minutes it was surrounded. Then the rising flood began to eat into the base, walls fell, the tower fell, and finally the gate’s arch fell. More minutes passed, and small waves erased bay windows and battlements—soon no more than a small part was left.
Many in the crowd looked terribly sad; some voiced fears and discouragement. But the sculptor（雕塑家） remained calm. He had, after all, had a wonderful day, making beauty out of nothing, and watching it return to nothing as time and tide moved on.
1. In this selection, why did the sculptor start early in the day?
A. He knew the tide was out on this particular morning.
B. It gave time for the crowd to gather.
C. He needed the sun to help dry the sand.
D. It was easier to begin with only a few people around.
答案解析：答案為A。本題為推理題。文章的開頭提到年輕男子一大早帶著他的工具來到了沙灘，由第二段的首句 “…the tide was out….” 可知潮水已消退, 他進行后面的工作都是在此前提下進行。故答案為A。
2. Which of the following best shows that the sculptor was an expert?
A. He attracted a large crowd. B. He created beautiful details.
C. He was able to finish his work. D. He showed satisfaction on his face.
答案解析：答案為B。本題為細節(jié)推理題。文章的前四段都是在描述年輕男子進行雕塑工作的全過程，選擇地點，時間和對工作細致認真，從第三段的 “graceful”、 “ fashioned beautiful” 和第四段的 “smoothly finished”、 “gently kept” 等詞都可以看出他的技術熟練。 故答案為B，雕塑家創(chuàng)造的美麗細節(jié)證明了他是個專家。
3. In this selection, what does the incoming tide signal?
A. It is time to begin working.
B. It is the busiest time of the day.
C. It is the end of a day’s work.
D. It is time for lookers-on to leave.
答案解析：答案為C。本題為細節(jié)推理題。第六段的第二句話 “…the tide was coming in”是設題點，本句后面的 “…h(huán)e had done so against a powerful, immutable（不可抗拒的）deadline.” 其中，deadline告訴我們到來的潮水就是雕塑工作的最后期限，故答案為C。
4. How did the lookers-on react when the tide began to come in?
A. They tried to save the sand castle.
B. They were disappointed to see the art ruined.
C. They were nervous about their own belongings.
D. They helped the artist finish the castle.
答案解析：答案為B。本題為細節(jié)題。從最后一段首句 “Many in the crowd looked terribly sad; some voiced fears and discouragement.” 可知, 故答案為B。
5. The reader can tell that the sculptor’s reward for his work is .
A. payment for his work B. attention from the crowd
C. fame as an artist D. personal satisfaction
答案解析：答案為D。本題為推理題。從最后一段 “But the sculptor（雕塑家） remained calm. He had, after all, had a wonderful day, making beauty out of nothing, and watching it return to nothing as time and tide moved on.” 可知，雕塑家對于被潮水毀掉的作品非常鎮(zhèn)定，這一天他完成了一件美麗的作品，對于他個人來說，心靈獲得了滿足。故答案為D。

[2013·聯考]
Switzerland is the best place to be born in the world in 2013，and the US is just 16th. A new study made by the Economist Intelligence Unit says American babies will have a dimmer future than those born in Hong Kong，Ireland and even Canada. The EIU，a sister company of the Economist，tried to measure how well countries will provide the best opportunities for a healthy，safe and prosperous life in years to come.
People born in Switzerland will tend to be the happiest and have the best quality of life judged in terms of wealth，health and trust in public institutions，according to the analysis. The Scandinavian countries of Norway，Sweden and Denmark also all make the top five in a ‘quality-of-life' index(指數)highlighting where it is best to be born next year.
One of the most important factors is being rich，but other factors come into play—including crime，trust in public institutions and the health of family life. In total，the index takes into account 11 factors. These include fixed factors such as geography，others that change slowly over time such as demography (人口統(tǒng)計學)，social and cultural characteristics, and the state of the world economy. The index also looks at income per head in 2030，which is roughly when children born in 2013 will reach adulthood. Small economies take up the top 10 countries，with Australia coming second and New Zealand and the Netherlands not too far behind.
Half of the top 10 countries are European，but only one，the Netherlands，is from the euro-zone. The crisis-ridden south of Europe，including Greece，Portugal and Spain，falls behind despite the advantage of a favourable climate. Interestingly，the largest European economies—Germany，France and Britain—do not do particularly well. Nigeria has the unenviable(不值得羨慕的)title of being the worst country for a baby to enter the world in 2013.
11．According to the passage，the happiest people live in________．
A．Denmark B．Switzerland
C．Germany D．Nigeria
12．The factors of telling the best place to be born don't include________．
A．economy
B．geography
C．trust in public institutions
D．pollution
13．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A．The Economist Intelligence Unit is a company.
B．The Economist attempted to measure the best place to live.
C．The Scandinavian countries are hardly at the top of the list.
D．Half of the top 10 countries are from the eurozone.
14．The purpose of the text is to show people________.
A．the best place to be born in 2013
B．a new study made by the EIU
C．the worst country to be born in 2013
D．the factors of measuring the best place to be born
【語篇導讀】 本文主要通過經濟學人智庫對國家的幸福指數的研究得出在瑞士出生的人是最幸福的，生活質量也最高，而挪威、瑞典和丹麥這幾個斯堪的納維亞國家也躋身前五名。
11. B 細節(jié)理解題。 根據文章第一段“Switzerland is the best place to be born in the world in 2013…”和第二段“People born in Switzerland will tend to be the happiest and have the best quality of life…”可知，一般來說，在瑞士出生的人是最幸福的，其生活質量也最高。故答案為B項。
12. D 細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第二段中對于判斷最佳居住地的因素介紹可知，沒有提到“污染”的問題。故答案為D項。
13. A 推理判斷題。根據文章第一段中“The EIU, a sister company of the Economist…”可知經濟學人智庫是一家公司。故A項正確。
14. B 主旨大意題。本文的目的是展示經濟學人智庫的研究結果，而其他三個選項只是其中的一個部分，不能作為文章的目的。故答案為B項。
