2019-2020年高二英语测试题：阅读专练 含答案A Our environment isnt as green and beautiful as it should be. There are steel monsters blocking out the sun, blowing out dangerous smoke, and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers, cars producing harmful waste gas, people throwing out waste in a wrong way and all other kinds of sources that ruin the planet. Facing current environmental problems, people need to do their best to save the Earth.You can see many big garbage dustbins in the streets. Theyre not there for a show, but for you to drop your waste. We should realize that what a little we do does count. So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window, or “ accidentally” drop as you walk down the street, ask yourself how much waste youve been contributing to the environment with that bad habit going on for years.At home, the first thing we can do to protect the environment is avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps（水龙头）are not leaky（泄露的），which would help greatly in scrimping. Another is to use energy-saving lights, and turn them off before you leave the rooms. Its not only energy-saving, but also cuts down electricity costs.Recycling is a method to make items reusable. Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process. Use your imagination to e up with ways on things that you can use again.Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids. Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives, in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older.With environmental protection awareness in mind, we can do what we can, for the results are to have a big effect on the planet. As long as we do our part, the world is one small step closer to being saved.59. The underlined word “scrimping” in the third paragraph can be replaced by _. A. saving B. cleaning C. cooking D. drinking60. From the fifth paragraph, we can know that _. A. protecting the environment begins with small chores B. protecting the environment should start from childhood. C. wonderful life es from environmental protection D. protecting the environment benefits the country and the people61. Which of the following isnt true? A. The more people do their part, the greener the environment will be. B. Selling what you dont want any more is a kind of recycling. C. To protect the environment may help you save some money. D. Your bad habits for the environment are a valuable contribution.62. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? A. The Use of Garbage DustbinB. How to Save Water and Electricity C. How to Save the Environment D. Our Current Environmental Problems B By 2050 there will have been an extra 2.5 billion people on earth. And what willthey eat? To solve the problem, we should have to double our food production. We can also develop a diet of algae（海藻）, insects and meat grown in laboratories. Algae can grow very quickly at sea, in polluted water and in places that would normally kill food crops. They are already eaten widely in Japan and China and they are eaten by almost everything from shrimps to blue whales. They can fix CO2 in the atmosphere and provide fats and sugars. Man-made meat looks like meat, feels like meat and it is meat, although its never been from a living, breathing animal. Instead, it is grown from cells in big containers. Moreover, studies show that producing man-made meat will use far less water, energy and land. China has developed “green super rice”, a series of rice types which produce more grain and have stronger ability to fight against floods, salty water, insects and disease. We used traditional plant breeding（作物育种）techniques to cross-breed more than 250 rice types. Green super rice, which is enough to feed an extra 100 million people, will be planted widely in the ing years. Insects like ants are not on most European menus but at least 1,400 kinds are eaten across Africa, Latin America and Asia. Now, with rising food prices and worldwide land shortages, such insects are getting more and more popular. Not only are many insects rich in protein（蛋白质）, low in fat and high in Ca and Fe, but insect farms need little space. And they can grow well on paper, algae and industrial wastes.63. In order to exist in the future, people have to _. A. move to other planetsB. produce rain in laboratories C. build new laboratories for food research D. increase the food production or look for other food sources64. From the second paragraph we know that _A. algae have a strong life force B. few people eat algae nowC. algae have few values for human beings D. algae can pollute our environment65. Green super rice _A. has to be watered with salty water B. can grow even in a bad environmentC. includes no more than 250 rice kinds D. was developed with new technologies66. What can we learn from the passage? A. Green super rice is delicious but high in price. B. In Asia about 100 million people may be faced with food shortages. C. Man-made meat doesnt look like meat but has the same taste as real meat. D. One of the reasons why many people begin to eat insects is their rich food value.C It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25.I was nurse on duty that day. I didnt think there would be any patients, sighing about having to work on Christmas. Just then five bodies showed up at my desk, a pale woman and four small children.“Are you all sick?” I asked suspiciously.“Yes,” she said weakly and lowered her head.But when it came to descriptions of their presenting problems, things got a little vague. Two of the children had headaches, but the headaches werent acpanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother plained of a cough but seemed to work to produce it.Something was wrong, but I didnt say anything but explained that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her. She responded, “Take your time; its warm here.”On a hunch (出于直觉), I checked the chart after the admitting clerk had finished registering the family. No address-they were homeless. The waiting room was warm.I looked out at the family huddled by the Christmas tree. The little one was pointing at the television and exclaiming something to her mother. The oldest one was looking at an ornament on the Christmas tree.I went back to the nurses station and mentioned we had a homeless family in the waiting room. The nurses, grumbling about working Christmas, turned to passion for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas. The team went into action, much as we do when theres a medical emergency. But this one was a Christmas emergency.We were all offered a free meal in the hospital cafeteria on Christmas Day, so we claimed that meal and prepared a banquet for our Christmas guests. We needed presents. We put together oranges and apples in a basket. We collected from different departments candies, crayons and other things available that could be presents. As seriously as we met the physical needs of the patients that came to us that day, our team worked to meet the needs, and exceed the expectations, of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas Day.Later, as the family walked to the door to leave, the four year old came running back, gave me a hug and whispered, “Thanks for being our angels today.”67.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. Working Christmas Day B. Christmas Day is ingC. A Happy Family D. A Pale Woman and Four Small Children 68. What kind of person do you think the author is? A. Hardworking and outgoing B. Serious and carefulC. Hardworking and warmhearted D. Serious and stubborn69. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Something was wrong with one of the childrens heads.B. The pale woman forgot to write the address.C. The author did not understand the truth. D. The childrens mother told a lie.70. It can be inferred from the text that_. A. The author didnt think there would be any patients on Christmas Day B. The woman was unfortable when she lowered her head C. The family appeared in the emergency room on Christmas Eve D. The woman and four small children were satisfied and grateful任务型阅读Are people less happy or more happy the older they get? If you answered more happy, then you were right, based on a study published two years ago. It found that people generally bee happier and experience less worry after age fifty. In fact, it found that by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were at eighteen.The findings came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred forty thousand adults in the United States in xx. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. But the people least likely to report negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.The researchers also considered possible influence like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they bee more thankful for all that they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Happiness is not the only thing that apparently improves with age. In a study published this year, people in their eighties reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep.Researchers surveyed more than 150,000 American adults. The study, led by Michael Grander at the University of Pennsylvania, appeared in the journal Sleep.The original goal was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women. But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.TitleThe older you get, the 71. _ you are!72. _ of a Gallup surveyl People are happier with their life when they are at 85 than they are at 18.
