【2014·山東省泰安市高三第一輪復(fù)習(xí)質(zhì)量檢測】
More than one in four children alive in Britain today will celebrate their 100th birthday,official figures showed.The special figures show a huge social change,with today’s children likely to survive far longer than their parents or grandparents.Of the 12.4 million children aged 16 and under,3.3 million (27%) will become someone who is a hundred years old or older.In a class of 30 children,eight can live to be 100.And the rest of the children are likely to get to an old age,even though they will not make it to three figures.
Experts warned that children may live to 100,but that they will not get their state pension until they are 70 or beyond.The state pension age is rising to 66 for both men and women by 2020,and the Government has warned it will continue to rise.Laith Khalaf,a pension expert,said,“Living to an old age is lucky if you can afford it,but a nuisance if you can’t.Those without enough savings will be depending on the state pension which will be changed.”
It also increases the possibility of millions of people surviving until their 100th birthday with a poor quality of life because of poor health and little money.Millions of older people have no pensions,no savings and no plans about how they are going to pay for their retirement other than to carry on working.If the older population demands more resources,then they have to come from their own wealth or the government.
Laith said,“Millions of people will be spending over a third of their lives in retirement.It is high time that we reformed the state pension system.We want to make it fair for future generation.”
1.From the first paragraph we can learn that________.
A.today’s children probably live longer than their parents
B.few of British children are expected to live to an old age
C.more than 30% of children aged 16 can live to be 100
D.20% of British children will celebrate their 100th birthday
2.The underlined word “nuisance” in Paragraph 2 probably means________.
A.somebody who is disabled
B.somebody who is dishonest
C.something that causes trouble
D.something that is incorrect
3.What kind of life will people living to 100 probably face?
A.A high quality of life because of the development of technology.
B.A low quality of life because of bad health and limited money.
C.A high quality of life because of the increase in food price.
D.A low quality of life because of the present government.
4.Why should the government at present reform the state pension system?
A.The present pension system isn’t quite useful.
B.People nowadays don’t need the pension at all.
C.More and more people ask the government to do so.
D.The present pension system is unfair for future generation.
5.What can be inferred from the text?
A.The retirement age will be raised to 70 or beyond.
B.The government will provide job chances for the retired.
C.The state pension age for men is different from that for women.
D.It will increase the government’s pressure if more children live to 100.
語篇解讀 官方數(shù)據(jù)表明,現(xiàn)在的英國兒童會比他們的長輩活得更久。令人擔(dān)心的是,這將會給政府帶來巨大的養(yǎng)老負(fù)擔(dān)。
1.解析: 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第一段的第二句“The special figures show a huge social change,with today’s children likely to survive far longer than their parents or grandparents.”可知,現(xiàn)在的英國兒童可能會比他們的長輩活得更久,故選A。
答案: A
2.解析: 考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)上下文可知,畫線詞所在句表示“如果你能夠承擔(dān)養(yǎng)老的費用,長壽是一種幸運,但如果承擔(dān)不起,那就會是一種麻煩”,故nuisance=something that causes trouble,答案為C。
答案: C
3.解析: 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段第一句“It also increases the possibility of millions of people surviving until their 100th birthday with a poor quality of life because of poor health and little money.”可知,活到100歲的人可能會面臨因身體差、資金有限而造成生活質(zhì)量降低的問題,即B項正確。
答案: B
4.解析: 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段的最后一句“We want to make it fair for future generation.”可知,目前的養(yǎng)老金制度對于后代來說是不公平的,因此政府要改革養(yǎng)老金制度,故D項正確。
答案: D
5.解析: 考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段的最后一句“If the older population demands more resources,then they have to come from their own wealth or the government.”可知答案。
答案: D.
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。
Belton and Canfield are two seashore towns, not far apart. Both towns have many hotels, and in summer the hotels are full of holiday- makers and other tourists(觀光者).
Last August there was a fire at the Sea breeze Hotel in Belton. The next day, this news appeared on page two of the town’s newspaper, The Belton Post:
FIRE AT SEABREEZE
Late last night firemen hurried to the Sea breeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire. We say again to all our visitors: “Please don’t smoke cigarettes in bed.” This was Belton’s first hotel fire for five years.
The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on page one.
ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE
Last night Belton firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Sea breeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said, “An electric lamp probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels. When I put my bedside light on, I heard a funny noise from the lamp.” We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield.
What are the facts, then? It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident. There was a fire at the Sea breeze Hotel last August: that is one fact. Do we know anything else? Yes—we know that firemen went to the hotel.
Now what do you think of the rest of the “news”?
1. Which of the following best gives the main idea of this text?
A. Belton and Canfield are both good places for tourists in summer.
B. A fire broke out one night in Sea breeze Hotel last summer.
C. It was not easy to find out exact truth from newspapers.
D. Two newspapers gave reports on the same matter.
答案解析:答案為C。本題為主旨大意題。文章前面的內(nèi)容陳述了兩則不同的新聞報道,后面的內(nèi)容對新聞報道進(jìn)行總結(jié),由倒數(shù)第二段第二句話 “It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident.” 可知,答案為C。
2. Which of the following are probably facts?
a. The fire broke out in a bedroom at the hotel.
b. A cigarette started the fire.
c. An old lamp started the fire.
d. The fire broke out at night.
e. There has never been a fire in Canfield.
A. b and c B. a and d C. c and e D. a and c
答案解析:答案為B。本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。由第一則報道的第一句話 “Late last night firemen hurried to the Sea breeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom.” 和第二則報道的第一句話 “Last night Belton firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Sea breeze Hotel.”可知,火災(zāi)都發(fā)生在晚上和房間里,故答案為B。
3. The Canfield Times used the headline (標(biāo)題) like this in order to make its readers think _______.
A. hotels in Belton often catch fire
B. hotels in Belton don’t often catch fire
C. this was the second fire at the Sea breeze Hotel
D. Belton was a good place except that hotels there are not quite safe
答案解析:答案為A。本題為細(xì)節(jié)推理題。Canfield Times報紙報道的新聞標(biāo)題使用 “another” 意在告訴讀者Belton的旅館經(jīng)常發(fā)生火災(zāi),這樣可以使得自己城市的旅游業(yè)更具有競爭力。故答案為A。
4. The Canfield newspaper gave a report just the opposite to the Belton Post by saying that _______.
A. the bedroom lamps were very old at the Sea breeze Hotel
B. the bedroom lights made funny noise when the fire took place
C. the firemen failed to save clothing, bedclothes and other things
D. such accidents never happened in Canfield for the past 5 years
答案解析:答案為C。本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。 Canfield報紙報道的第一句話 “Last night Belton firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Sea breeze Hotel.” 一語中的,把最重要的信息首先傳遞給受眾,“消防員到達(dá)太晚未能挽救房間里的衣服,床單被褥和一些家具”, C選項的意思與此吻合,故答案為C。干擾項A選項是該則報道后面的內(nèi)容,不可選。
閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A.B.C和D項中,選出最佳選項。
One reaction to all the concern about tropical deforestation(砍伐森林) is a blank(茫然的) stare that asks the question, "Since I don't live there, what does it have to do with me?"
The answer is that your way of life, wherever you live in the world, is tied to the tropics in many ways. If you live in a house, wash your hair, eat fruits and vegetables, drink soda, or drive a car, you can be certain that you are affected by the loss of tropical forests.
Biologically, we are losing the richest regions on earth when, each minute, a piece of tropical forest, the size of ten city blocks, disappears. As many as five million species of plants, animals, and insects (40 to 50 percent of all living things) live there, and are being lost faster than they can be found and described. Their loss is immeasurable.
Take rubber for example. For many uses, only natural rubber from trees will do. Synthetics are not good enough. Today over half the world's commercial rubber is produced in Malaysia and Indonesia, while the Amazon's rubber industry produces much of the world's four million tons. And rubber is an important material in making gloves, balloons, footwear and many sporting goods. Thousands of other tropical plants are valuable for their industrial use.
Many scientists strongly believe that deforestation contributes to the greenhouse effect -- or heating of the earth from increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As we destroy forests, we lose their ability to change carbon dioxide into oxygen.
Carbon dioxide levels could double within the next half-century, warming the earth by as much as 4.5 degrees. The result? A partial melt-down of polar ice caps, raising sea levels as much as 24 feet; even 15 feet could threaten anyone living within 35 miles of the coast. Unbelievable? Maybe. But scientists warn that by the time we realise the severe effects of tropical deforestation, it will be 20 years too late.
Can tropical deforestation affect our everyday lives? Now, you should have got the answer.
11. The underlined word "synthetics" probably means .
A. natural rubber B. tropical materials
C. man-made material D. commercial rubber
12. In the last paragraph the author tries to .
A. tell people how to avoid the tropical deforestation
B. persuade people to buy something synthetic
C. show us how important it is to protect the tropical forests
D. let people realise the effect of tropical deforestation
13. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. The forests are losing their function in turning carbon dioxide into oxygen.
B. Many of our daily uses are related to the tropical forests.
C. Tropical plants can be used to make industrial products.
D. High carbon dioxide levels will make the earth warmer.
14. The author's attitude towards the tropical deforestation is .
A. puzzling B. cold C. supporting D. opposed
15. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. Tropical Forests B. Saving the Tropical Forests
C. Tropical Forests and Our Life D. The Greenhouse Effects
【參考答案】11—15、CCADC
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。
With only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save these in a dangerous situation. That's a move similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called "Noah's Ark".
Noah's Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of these animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & M's College of Veterinary, Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.
It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will probably become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.
This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.
The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.
"The nuclear transfer of one species to another is not easy, but the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem," Kraemer believes. "They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and it's difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort," adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A&M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.
"They are trying to do something that's never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah's Ark. We're both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there's a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. The cooperation between us is very much needed."
1. The final aim of "Noah's Ark" project is to_______.?????? .
A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas?
B. save endangered animals from dying out
C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study?
D. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another
答案解析:答案為B。本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。由第二段內(nèi)容可知,“諾亞方舟”項目的目的在于收集瀕臨滅絕的動物的卵子、胚胎、精子和DNA,并用液體氮將它們儲存起來。如果某些物種滅絕了,將會有足夠的基礎(chǔ)建設(shè)材料再造這些物種。最后一段第二句 “We're both trying to save animals that face extinction.”又一次提到了這個項目的目的,即拯救瀕臨滅絕的物種。故答案為B。
2. According to Professor Kraemer, ________.
A. the long time lasting cloning research could be successful.
B. the eggs transfers immediately result in having a baby.
C. the lack of nuclear transfer could be a major problem to have new pandas.
D. if species should die out, basic building blocks would heal them.
答案解析:答案為A。本題為推理題。由倒數(shù)第二段第一句話 “…but the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem”可知,C選項錯誤。由該段第二句話 “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby).”可知,B選項錯誤。由該段第三句話 “It takes a long time and it's difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works.”可知,這(細(xì)胞核移植)需要很長時間,而且難度很大,但是一旦成功,便會成為開創(chuàng)性的科學(xué)。言外之意就是長期的克隆研究技術(shù)或許能成功。故A選項正確。
第二段提到 “If certain species should become extinct, …there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.”,而 D選項 “如果物種滅絕,基礎(chǔ)建設(shè)材料將治愈他們”夸大了基礎(chǔ)建設(shè)材料的作用,與原文不符,故錯誤。
3. The best title for the passage may be_________.
A. China's Success in Pandas Cloning
B. Helping Ways to Avoid Extinction
C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas
D. The Practice in Noah's Ark
答案解析:答案為C。本文為新聞報導(dǎo)類文章,第一段點出了文章的中心,中國在努力克隆瀕臨滅絕的大熊貓,從第二段起具體介紹Duane Kraemer對中國科學(xué)家克隆大熊貓的做法的評價,并與美國科學(xué)家正在從事的“諾亞方舟” 項目做了對比。文章最后一段表達(dá)了他們對中國同行所做的工作的高度評價。故最佳標(biāo)題為C “探索克隆大熊貓的可能性”。
4. From the passage we know that_______.
A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a panda
B. scientists try to implant a panda's egg into a rabbit
C. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches
D. about two thousand species are to die out in a century
答案解析:答案為D。本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。由第三段第一句話 “It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will probably become extinct in over 100 years.”可知,D選項正確。
A選項明顯錯誤;由第四段第一句話 “This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit.”可知,B選項錯誤。由最后一段最后一句話 “The cooperation between us is very much needed.” 可知,Professor Kraemer是說有必要合作,而不是將會與中國科學(xué)家一起致力于克隆研究, C選項與此表達(dá)不符,故不選。
