高考考试英语阅读理解类练K含答案
第一节
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最好选项。
A
Booking a trip on an online travel site is convenient, but comes with its own set of problems.
◆They know who's going to spend more.
Last year, US travel research company Orbitz tracked people's online activities to test out whether Mac users spend more on travel than PC users. It turned out that on average, Mac users lay out $20－30 more per night on hotels. As a result, online travel sites show these users more expensive travel options first. To avoid paying more, sort results by price.【出处：21教育名师】
◆Their software doesn't always link the hotel's system.
A guaranteed reservation is almost impossible to come by anywhere — the risk of your flight or hotel being overbooked increases with third party providers. The middleman's software isn't immune to system errors, so always call the hotel or airline to make sure your booking is processed.
◆You could miss out on loyalty points.
Third party providers can get between you and frequent flyers miles or points. Many hotel loyalty programs don't recognize external sites, while others award only minimum points without special offers, like double points on hotel stays.2·1·c·n·j·y
◆Don't be fooled by packages: Often, they're lowend items grouped together.
Ever noticed how travel sites recommend a hotel, a rental car, and tour packages all in one click? These deals usually feature travel that no one wants, like flights with multiple layovers . Check the _____________________.
◆once your trip is purchased, you're on your own.
An online travel agency can't provide assistance the same way an agent can if a flight is cancelled or a room is substandard. Basically, when you arrive at the airport or hotel, you're just another customer who booked at the lowest rate.

At 23, my career got going. I was midway through a master's degree at the London School of Economics and Political Science and had been hired as a parttime reporter for a finance website. I got a great onemonth review and my boss asked if I was interested in staying at the company after graduation.
However, balancing graduate studies with work was challenging. To deal with it, I checked my real self at my office door. I came in to work, greeted my colleagues and listened more than I contributed in each morning meeting. The small team I worked with often seemed busy, so rather than giving ideas that might get turned down, I stayed back.
After four months, my boss called me into his office. The meeting was going well until he told me that despite the great work I had produced, the team had held a meeting and decided, “We don't think it's the right fit.”
I must have looked confused. “You're ambitious, intelligent and will be very successful，” my boss said. “But you haven't made enough effort to join the team. You lost the enthusiasm you showed in your interview. That won't work long term, and if I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to get your guard down.” I couldn't believe that performing well at my job wasn't enough to keep it. But I knew my boss was right. They knew that when they hired me, I had no experience in finance reporting, yet they took a chance on me. In meetings I usually contributed last, after I had heard everyone else's suggestions. I did it to show that I was a listener, but also to hide my fears. They liked the person who walked into the interview, and they didn't respect me when I hid that person from them.
“Don't leave before you leave.” That advice is essential for women at all stages of our careers. Because we work so hard for success, we don't like to think that we hurt ourselves sometimes. But each of us must change when necessary. In trying to earn a fulltime job, I “leaned back” in order not to show too much of myself or my lack of expertise . I learned that the hard way wasn't the way to achieve our goals.
语篇解析：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。“我”在公司工作，在团队里，“我”辛苦勤奋，所在的团队也紧张忙碌，但“我”害怕表达我们的倡导和建议。老板在一定了“我”的成绩的同时，建议“我”勇于表达我们的倡导，推荐个人的建议。
25．Why was the author offered a job at the company at first?
A．Because she just got her master's degree in finance.
B．Because she greatly impressed her boss in her first month.
C．Because she had quite a lot of experience in finance reporting.
D．Because she showed her special financial talent while working there.
分析：选B细节理解题。依据第一段的“I got a great onemonth review and my boss asked if I was interested in staying at the company after graduation.”可知，在第一个月的工作中，“我”获得了非常高的评价，给老板留下了深刻的印象，故老板决定聘用“我”。故B项正确。
26．During her next four months at the company, the author________.
A．performed well enough to earn the team's respect
B．didn't balance her graduate studies with work very well
C．was a good listener and contributed a lot in the meetings
D．was afraid to offer her ideas because of her lack of confidence
分析：选D细节理解题。依据第二段的“The small team I worked with often seemed busy, so rather than giving ideas that might get turned down, I stayed back.”，并结合第四段的“I did it to show that I was a listener, but also to hide my fears.”可知，“我”工作所在的团队常常看着非常忙碌，“我”担忧我们的建议或想法遭到拒绝，所以只愿做一个倾听者。据此可知，因为缺少自信，“我”害怕表达我们的想法，故D项正确。
27．What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?
A．We should always keep up our enthusiasm at work.
B．Expertise and experience are greatly valued in the workplace.
C．We should not shy away from sharing our ideas when working in a team.
D．It's unwise of women to show themselves off when they are taking part in teamwork.
分析：选C写作意图题。第二段描述了“我”辛苦勤奋，所在的团队紧张忙碌，3、四段讲述老板对“我”工作的评价：虽然辛苦努力，但“我”缺少在团队中建言献策的自信和勇气，并不可以取得团队的尊敬。据此可以判断，本文旨在告诉读者在团队工作中不要畏避表达我们的看法，故C项正确。
C
Researchers say current exercise guidelines are unrealistic and argue that doctors should sometimes advise small increases in activity instead. They warn the 150minute weekly target is beyond the reach of some people — particularly older individuals. And trying to reach these goals could mean the benefits of lighter exercise are overlooked. But public health officials say current recommendations have proven benefits in lowering the risk of heart disease.21*cnjy*com
There is increasing evidence that inactivity is linked to heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer. UK guidelines for adults recommend at least twoandahalf hours of moderate activity a week, in short periods of 10 minutes or more.
But in two separate articles in The BMJ, experts argue the message needs to change, with greater emphasis on making inactive people move more. Prof. Philipe de Souto Barreto at the University Hospital of Toulouse, advises people who are sedentary to make small increases in their activity levels — rather than pushing to achieve current goals. He points to previous studies which show even short periods of walking of just 20 minutes of energetic activity a few times a month can reduce the risk of death, compared to people who do no exercise.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
In the second article, Prof. Philipe Sparkling of the Georgia Institute of Technology, says doctors should tailor their advice — particularly for older patients. He suggests using GP visits for people over 60 to discuss “realistic options” to increase activity — such as getting people to stand up and move during TV commercial breaks.
Prof. Kevin Fenton at Public Health England says, “Everyone needs to be active every day — short periods of 10 or more minutes of physical activity have proven health benefits, but getting 150 minutes or more of moderate activity every week is the amount we need to positively impact on a wide range of health conditions.” This includes reducing the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
28．What is the current exercise goal mentioned in the passage?
A．10minute exercise. B．20minute exercise.
C．60minute exercise. D．150minute exercise.
分析：选D细节理解题。依据第一段中的“They warn the 150minute weekly target is beyond the reach of some people — particularly older individuals.”及“And trying to reach these goals”可知，现行的训练目的是每周150分钟的运动量，故选D。
29．What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A．10minute exercise has little effect on the health.
B．Heart disease happens easily to the old in activity.21教育名师原创作品
C．Twoandahalf hours of exercise is not necessary.
D．Inactivity easily brings about many serious diseases.

A．People should spend less time on exercise.
B．People should lower their activity levels.
C．People should increase exercise properly.

Last week, Education Secretary Arne Duncan declared a war on paper textbooks. “Over the next few years，” he said in a speech at the National Press Club, “textbooks should be abandoned.” In their place would come a variety of digitallearning technologies, like ereaders and multimedia websites.
Such technologies certainly have their place. But Secretary Duncan is threatening to light a fire to a tried and true technology — good old paper — that has been the foundation for one of the great educational systems on the planet. While ereaders and multimedia may seem appealing, the idea of replacing an effective learning platform with a widely hyped but still unproven one is extremely dangerous.
An expert on reading, Maryanne Wolf, has recently begun studying the effects of digital reading on learning, and so far the results are mixed. She worries that Internet reading, in particular, could be such a source of distractions for the student that it may cancel out most other potential benefits of a weblinked, elearning environment. While it's true that the hightech industry has sponsored substantial amounts of research on the potential benefits of Wedbased learning, not enough time has passed for longitudinal studies to demonstrate the full effects.
In addition, digitalreading advocates claim that lightweight ebooks benefit students' backs and save schools money. But the rolling backpack seems to have solved the weight problem, and the astounding cosplayts to outfit every student with an ereader，provide technical support and pay for regular software updates promise to make the etextbook a very pricey choice.
As both a teacher who uses paper textbooks and a student of urban history, I can't help but wonder what parallels exist between my own field and this sudden，wholesale abandonment of the technology of paper.
32．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．A tried and true technology is paper, long used in the educational system.
B．Digitallearning technologies will replace the paper textbooks sooner or later.
C．Ereaders and multimedia websites are learning methods that are proved effective.
D．Multimedia websites and good old paper are kinds of digitallearning technologies.
分析：选A细节理解题。依据第二段的第二句“But Secretary Duncan is threatening to light a fire to a tried and true technology — good old paper — that has been the foundation for one of the great educational systems on the planet.”可知，纸质教科书是经实践反复检验的在教育体系中长期用的一种技术。
33．What is the drawback of a textbook according to the passage?21教育网
A．Its price. B．Its weight.
C．Its content. D．Its appearance.
分析：选B细节理解题。依据第四段第二句中的“But the rolling backpack seems to have solved the weight problem”可知，教科书的缺点是它的重量太重。www.21-cn-jy.com
34．What worries Maryanne Wolf is that________.
A．paper learning can provide more potential benefits21·世纪*教育网
B．the results of digital reading's effects are understandable【版权所有：21教育】
C．students may not focus on learning by digital reading
D．digital reading can't provide potential benefits for users
分析：选C细节理解题。依据第三段中的“She worries that Internet reading, in particular, could be such a source of distractions for the student”可知她担忧数字阅读会分散学生的注意力，让他们不可以专注于学习。
35．What is the author's attitude towards digital learning?
A．Disapproving. B．Supportive.
C．Positive. D．Objective.
分析：选D作者态度题。依据最后一段的内容特别是“I can't help but wonder ... of paper.”可知，作者对数字阅读的怎么看是客观的。
第二节
依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最好选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Selftalk helps us all
Talking to yourself may seem a little shameful. If you've ever been overheard criticizing yourself for a foolish mistake or practicing a speech, you'll know the social problems that it can cause. ______________ Talking to ourselves, whether out loud or silently in our heads, is valuable. Far from being a sign of madness, selftalk allows us to plan what we are going to do, manage our activities and control our emotions.
Psychologists call selftalk the private speech — language that is spoken out loud but directed at yourself. We do a lot of it when we are young. As children, we use private speeches to control our actions in the same way that we use public speeches to control the behavior of others：______________
Psychological experiments have shown that this socalled inner speech can improve our performance in tasks like telling what other people are thinking. One recent study suggests that selftalk is the most effective when we talk to ourselves in the second person: as “you” rather than “I”．
We keep the private speech we use as children inside — but we never truly put away the out loud version. ______________ You're sure to see an athlete shouting at himself or herself.
______________ Hearing different points of view means our thoughts can end up in different places, leading to a solution to a problem, just like a regular dialogue, and might turn out to be one of the keys to human creativity.
Both kinds of selftalk — silent and out loud — seem to bring many different benefits to our thinking.______________
A．But there's no need for embarrassment.
B．If you want proof, turn on a sports channel.
C．As we grow older, we keep this system inside.
D．Take a trip to any preschool and watch a small child playing with toys.
E．Words to the self, spoken silently or aloud, are so much more than just chatter.
F．According to the wellknown saying, talking to yourself is the first sign of madness.
G．Selftalk seems to be a very good way of solving problems and working through ideas.
36．选A依据下文的“Talking to ourselves ... is valuable.”可知，自言自语益处多多，所以没必要感到尴尬，所以选A项。

37．选C依据上文的“We do a lot of it when we are young.”可推知，长大后大家把这套做法隐藏起来了，所以选C项。
