‎2017年高考模拟卷一 第一部分  阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）‎ A Many cities have subways and underground public transportation to take locals and tourists alike rapidly around the city．However, there’s something different about riding a London subway．It may not look different, but the historical value of one of England’s most popular forms of transportation is enough to make riding the subway a must when visiting London．With a little under 100 different stations, the subway can take you almost anywhere you need to go．‎ Riding a London subway, a person from other countries will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other．In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times．That’s not rudeness―people are just too busy to bother looking．‎ Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet thinking．Nor are they reading a book．New technology has replaced quiet habits．Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book．‎ Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters（使用月票上下班者）．Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000―yes, that’s 40,000 “apps” have been designed．‎ Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers．One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks．Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination．iSteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone．You can then write in the “steam” on your phone screen．‎ For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction（消遣）of choice．It’s not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music－iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages．‎ And if games, e-books and music aren’t enough to keep you occupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV shows or films on the way to work．With all these distractions, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train．‎ ‎1．Those who want to save time to reach where they go can download ______ to their iPhones．‎ A．iShoot B．Tube Exits C．iSteam D．iPod ‎ ‎2．People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because ______．‎ A．they are going to work and have no time to communicate with each other ‎ B．they love reading books and do not want to be disturbed C．they feel sleepy because of getting up early D．they are busy playing games, reading e-books, listening to music or watching films ‎3．The underlined word “apps” in the fourth paragraph means ______．‎ A．computers B．programs downloaded for the iPhone ‎ C．computer companies D．fortune from London commuters ‎4.．The main idea of the passage is that ______．‎ A．London commuters are unfriendly to strangers B．Apple has earned a lot of money from selling 40,000 apps C．technology is changing how London commuters spend their traveling time D．riding a London subway is a must when visiting London B When Peng Liyuan stepped off the plane in Moscow, the whole world wanted to know who dressed the elegant first lady. The reporter released the secret—Ma Ke.‎ Peng Liyuan has been wearing Ma Ke's designs for more than a decade, a fact that was only highlighted recently when she was on her first state visit, accompanying her husband President Xi Jinping. The elegant and attractive Peng, formerly a popular singer, has been compared with the US’ first lady Michelle Obama and France’s Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, since stepping off the airplane in Moscow on March 22. Suddenly, everyone was curious to know more about the first lady’s wardrobe.‎ Even so, Ma prefers a low-key approach. “If you eat a tasty egg why would you want to see the hen?” she says of all the media attention.‎ Ma’s relationship with Peng began 10 years ago after a concert in Guangzhou when a reporter told Peng she knew the designer behind the label Exception de Mixmind. Peng asked for an introduction because she was a fan of Ma’s designs and had been wearing them for years.‎ The two naturally became friends. Ma says: “The painting reflects the painter, and clothes reflect both the designer and the wearer. Someone desires fame and wealth, or love and sympathy; what you have in your heart is reflected in the design. Those who don’t share my philosophy won’t buy my clothes. Peng is a caring person, devoted to charity and environmental protection, which is exactly what I’m doing now.”‎ However, regardless of the brand, Peng’s support of Chinese labels has surprised millions of Chinese who favor foreign fashion brands.‎ ‎“Instead she presented a vision of Chinese fashion, desiring to bring Chinese designers to the world stage,” says a western designer.‎ The first lady’s double-breasted coat and her black leather handbag aren’t available at any of Exception’s shops, though Exception’s physical stores do have seen a rising number of visitors.‎ ‎5.. The passage mainly discusses _________.‎ A. the designer of the first lady Peng Liyuan’s dress, Ma Ke ‎ B. the friendship between Peng Liyuan and her designer C.

What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A. First ladies compete with each other whenever they are together.‎ B. Peng’s suits can be bought in Ma Ke’s clothes stores.‎ C. Ma Ke offered to design the first lady’s clothes through her friends.‎ D. Peng had liked Ma’s designs long before she got to know her in the flesh.‎ ‎8.. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?‎ A. Peng wears the dress designed by a Chinese designer probably to support Chinese brands.‎ B. Many citizens found Peng Liyuan’s choice quite unexpected.‎ C. Black leather handbags like Peng’s are widely sold in bag stores in big cities.‎ D. After Peng Liyuan’s visit to Moscow Ma Ke’s clothes became more popular.‎ C Going on holiday not only makes you feel good while you're there --- you gain the health benefits for months, new research shows. ‎ Jetting off to exotic destinations such as the Maldives cuts your blood pressure, helps you sleep better and bounce back from stress, it found. The benefits last at least a fortnight longer than the vacation and can be felt for months in some cases where it is claimed. Experts say workers should always take their full holiday entitlement each year --- as many as one in three don’t --- to get the benefits.‎ The study compared key health markers in holidaymakers visiting Thailand, Peru or the Maldives, with people who stayed at home and continued working. The average blood pressure of those on holiday dropped by six percent while the workers saw their blood pressure rise by two percent over the same period. The sleep quality of holidaymakers improved by 17 percent while that of the non-holidaymakers deteriorated by 14 percent.‎ The study also found the ability of vacationers to recover from stress --- known as the stress-resilience test --- improved by 29 percent. There was a 71 percent fall in stress resilience scores among workers. Tests showed a fall in blood glucose levels, reducing the risk of diabetes, trimmer waistlines and enhanced mood and energy levels, with the effects sustained for at least two weeks after returning home. ‎ The Holiday Health Experiment was conducted by tour operator Kuoni and Nuffield Health, the UK’s largest healthcare charity.‎ ‎9..
