廣西浦北縣2017高考英語一輪閱讀理解選練(一)
(2016高考訓(xùn)練)閱讀下列材料,從每題所給的選項中選出最佳選項。
Bobby Moresco grew up in New York's Hell's Kitchen,a tough working-class neighborhood on Manhattan's West Side.But Hell's Kitchen lies right next door to Broadway,and the bright lights attracted Bobby from the time he was a teen.Being stage-stuck was hardly what a street kid could admit to his partners.Fearing their ridicule,he told no one,not even his girlfriend,when he started taking acting lessons at age 17.If you were a kid from the neighborhood,you became a cop,construction worker,longshoreman or criminal.Not an actor.
Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few blocks east.He studied acting,turned out for all the cattle calls(試戲通知)—and during the decade of the 1970s made a total of 2 000.“I wasn't a good actor,but I had a driving need to do something different with my life,” he says.
He moved to Hollywood,where he drove a cab and worked as a bartender(酒吧侍者).His father said,“Stop this craziness and get a job; you have a wife and daughter.” But Moresco kept working at his chosen craft.
Then in 1983 his young brother Thomas was murdered in a mob-linked killing.Moresco moved back to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain and the patrimony of Hell's Kitchen.Half-Deserted Streets,based on his brother's killing,opened at a small Off-Broadway theatre in 1988.A Hollywood producer saw it and asked him to work on a screenplay.
His reputation grew,and he got enough assignment to move back to Hollywood.By 2003,he was again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis,a director who had befriended him,Haggis wanted help writing a film about the country after September 11.The two worked on the writing,but every studio in town turned it down.They kept pitching it.Studio executives,however,thought no one wanted to see a severe,honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision in modern America.
Moresco believed so strongly in the script that he borrowed money,sold his house.He and Haggis kept pushing.At last the writers found an independent film producer who would take a chance,but the upfront money was too little,Moresco delayed his salary.
Crash slipped into the theatres in May 2005,and quietly became both a hit and a critical success.It was nominated for six Academy Awards and won three—Best Picture,Best Film Editing and Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Paul Haggis and the kid from Hell's Kitchen.
At age 54,Bobby Moresco became an overnight success.“If you have something you want to do in life,don't think about the problems,” he says,“think about other ways to get it done.”

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中,選出最佳選項。
It is commonly believed that people yawn just when they are sleepy or tired as a result of their brain needing oxygen. However, a latest research shows that a yawn can help cool the brain and helps it work more effectively. Researchers said that raising or lowering oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood did not produce that reaction.
Yawning involves opening the mouth while taking a long, deep breath of air. Researchers?at?the University?of?Albany?in?New?York?said those who held a cool pack to their forehead were less likely to yawn than those who held a warm or room-temperature pack while they were watching people yawning. They also found that those who breathed through the nose rather than the mouth were less likely to yawn. This was because the blood vessels(脈管)in the nasal cavity (腔) sent cool blood to the brain.
Since yawning occurs when brain temperature rises, sending cool blood to the brain serves to maintain the best levels of mental efficiency. This could help us to understand better the way our brains work. It may also help us understand the reason why frequent yawning can sometimes be a sign of brain disease.
25. According to the new study, people yawn when .
A. they are sleepy or tired B. they need more oxygen
C. their brain temperature rises D. oxygen levels in the blood is lowered
26. Which of the following statements about the new study is NOT true?
A. Yawning can promote sleep.
B. Yawning can sometimes be a sign of brain disease.
C. Yawning can make our brain work more efficiently.
D. Yawning can maintain the best levels of mental efficiency.
27. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Yawning Is A Sign of Brain Disease B. Yawning Carries Some Information
C. Yawning Benefits Your Body D. Yawning Cools Your Brain
28. In which section of a newspaper can you read this passage?

He leant down to the pickpocket. The heaving and gasping had stopped, but he was still making a show of his breathlessness.
“That’s better,” Mallon said. “Can you stand up? Try to stand up. Here,” he said, and gripped the pickpocket’s arm and forced him upright until he saw his face for the first time. As the pickpocket labored for breath, he gazed up at Mallon with his dark eyes.?“How could you?”?they asked.
Mallon might have said, “Because you tried to steal from me.” But he was still conscious of the flush of joy he’d felt when his blow struck home — when he knew he’d hurt the man. Where that joy came from he couldn’t say, but he knew that its roots were deeper than some clumsy failed theft.
Fat drops of rain began to patter on the?awning?(雨篷).
“How are you?” Mallon said. “Can you walk?” The pickpocket turned away and leant against the store window with both hands, and his head sank lower as his shoulders rose and fell. A gray-haired woman inside the store rapped on the glass and made a shooing motion. When the pickpocket ignored her, she rapped harder and kept rapping.
“I have to go,” Mallon said. “I’m sorry.” He looked up at the sky. “I’m sorry,” he said again, and stepped into the rain and walked quickly up the street.
One of the Bangladeshi umbrella sellers was working the corner, and Mallon had just paid seven euros when he heard a woman shouting. He didn’t want to look back but did. It was the woman from the shop, pushing and batting the pickpocket away from the window while he bent down and covered his head like a boxer trying to get through the last seconds of a round. Mallon slipped his wallet back into his jacket pocket and took the umbrella that the Bangladeshi had opened for him.
The pickpocket was out on the sidewalk now, in the rain. The woman stood just under the awning with her arms crossed over her chest.
“Excuse me, madam,” Mallon said, coming up to them. “This man isn’t well. He needs to rest a moment.”
“I know these people,” she said. “Our Romans don’t want them here.”
The rain fell in sheets, ran down the pickpocket’s shiny?scalp?and face, down his leather jacket.
“Here,” Mallon said, and offered him the umbrella, but he only looked at Mallon with his hurt dark eyes and then lowered his head again. Mallon bumped him in the shoulder with the handle of the umbrella. “Go on — take it!” he said. And finally, with a beaten, unwilling look, the pickpocket did.
And that was when he saw a taxi round the corner with a light glowing on its roof. Mallon ran out waving his arm and the cab turned sharply to the pavement, sending?a lot of?water over his shoes. He opened the door but couldn’t help looking back. The pickpocket had lowered the umbrella to the ground upside down and was leaning on the?shaft, head low, neck bared to the sky.
“Wait,” Mallon said to the driver. He went back and grabbed the pickpocket’s sleeve and pulled him to the cab. “Get in,” Mallon said, and took the umbrella and pushed him into the back seat. He leaned inside. “O.K., where do you live?”
“No Gypsies!” the driver said. He was twisted around, glaring at the pickpocket.
“Gypsy? Look, he’s not well. I’ll pay,” Mallon added.
The driver shook his head. “No Gypsies. Get him out,”
Mallon looked at the driver’s nameplate: Michele Kadare. “It’s the law,” he said, “If you don’t take us, Signor Kadare, I’ll report you and you’ll lose your license. Believe me — I am quite serious.”
The driver fastened those pale eyes on Mallon and turned and put his hands on the steering wheel. He raised his eyes to the rearview mirror and he and Mallon exchanged stares.
“O.K., Mr. American,” he said. “You pay.”
67. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 indicate?
A. Mallon shouldn’t have saved the pickpocket.
B. The pickpocket didn’t thank Mallon for his offer.
C. The pickpocket blamed Mallon for his failure to steal.
D. Mallon must have beaten the pickpocket before helping him.
68. Where should the sentence “He hesitated, then turned back.” be placed?
A. Between paragraphs 5 and 6.???????????B. Between paragraphs 6 and 7.
C. Between paragraphs 7 and 8.???????????D. Between paragraphs 8 and 9.
69. From the attitudes of the woman and the driver towards the pickpocket, we can conclude that ________.
A. the Gypsies had a bad reputation in Rome
B. the pickpocket frequently stole around the woman’s store
C. everyone was protected by the law in Rome except the Gypsies
D. the pickpocket couldn’t purchase anything in the woman’s store

閱讀理解。閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。
The next decade will witness the most important changes in the way we consume sport since the appearance of mass audience television in the 1950's. The development of media channels such as satellite and cable television, the internet and mobile telephones has broken the traditional free television model in every advanced economy. Well managed sports will remain valuable content and many will continue to grow. Forward thinking governing bodies will grasp the opportunity by repackaging their sports to adapt to the new broadcast landscape. Others will not.
Brand marketers have seen the effectiveness of the traditional TV sport advertising fall over the last twenty years as audiences for free to air television fall year by year. The growth of sponsorship(贊助)as a marketing tool is one result. However, sport must compete for the sponsor dollar with other forms of content such as music, the arts and culture and cause-related marketing, each of which offers a powerful choice.
At the same time some of sports biggest marketers, the soft drink, beer and fast food companies, will come under growing pressure from social and political pressure groups concerned about levels of obesity(肥胖), over drinking and anti-social behavior that have become such a part of modern life.
Companies such as McDonalds, Coca Cola and Budweiser face calls to cut its ties with sport, which will be popular over the next decade. Are we facing a ban on soft drink sponsorship similar to that of tobacco? Certainly, the removal of hundreds of millions of sponsorship dollars from the sports economy worldwide would have destructive influence. This report analyses the threat, seeking comparisons with the strategy employed by the tobacco abolitionists(廢除主義者) a decade ago.
1.Which of the following does NOT affect traditional television model?
A.Cable television. B.The internet.
C.Mobile phones. D.Mass audience television
2.What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A.Sponsorship leads to the fall of sport advertising.
B.Sport can’t match the arts.
C.Music, the art and culture often act as sponsors in sports.
D.The fall of advertising only happens to some brand marketers
3.If a child is overweight, which of the following may be responsible according to this passage?
A.His parents. B.Growing sport sponsorship
C.Some big food or drink companies. D.Advanced economy.
4.In he last paragraph, the author fears that
A.the ban on tobacco will be abolished ten years later.
B.the sponsorship of soft drink companies will destruct sports economy.
C.food and drink companies will be popular.
D.fast food and soft drink sponsorship will be banned like tobacco sooner or later.
