武汉市高考英语阅读理解和完形填空自选训练及答案

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。‎ Eating foods high in trans-fats (fats present in artificial form in industrially-produced cakes and fast food...) and saturated (饱和的) fats increases the risk of depression, according to a Spanish study, confirming previous studies that linked “junk food” with the disease. Researchers also showed that some products, such as olive oil, can fight against the risk of mental illness. ‎ Authors of the wide-reaching study, from the universities of Navarra and Las Palmas, followed and analyzed the diet and lifestyle of over l2,000 volunteers over six years. When the study began, none of the participants had been diagnosed with depression; by the end, 657 of them were new sufferers. ‎ ‎“Participants with an increased consumption of trans-fats presented up to a 48 percent increase in the risk of depression when they were compared to participants who did not consume these fats,” the head study author said. “The more trans-fats were consumed, the greater harmful effect they produced in the volunteers.” ‎ The research team found, at the same time, that after assessing the effect of polyunsaturated fats made up of larger amounts of fish and vegetable oils and olive oil, these products are associated with a lower risk of suffering depression. ‎ The report, published in the online journal PLOS ONE, noted the research was performed on a European population that enjoys a relatively low intake of trans-fats—making up only 0.4 percent of the total energy taken in by the volunteers. “Despite this, we observed an increase in the risk of suffering depression of nearly 50 percent,” said researcher Miguel Martinez. “On this basis we think it of great importance to take this effect into account in countries like the United States, where the percentage of energy derived from these fats is around 2.5 percent.” ‎ The report pointed out that the current number of depression sufferers in the world is around l50 million people, and has increased in recent years. This rise is attributable, according to the authors, “to great changes in the sources of fats consumed in Western diets, where we have replaced certain types of beneficial fats in nuts, vegetable oils and fish with the saturated and trans-fats found in ‎ meats, butter and other products such as mass-produced cakes and fast food.” ‎ ‎1. What' s the best title of the text? ‎ A. Junk Food and Depression　　　　B. Depression Prevention C. Types of Fats and Depression　　　　D. Depression Research ‎2. Which of the following increases the risk of suffering depression? ‎ A. Fish.　　　　B. Vegetable oil.　　　　C. Olive oil.　　　　D. Butter. ‎ ‎3.

But I decided to give them another shot because I'm in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York. There, '"I'm having a dinner party' means: "I'm booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can't afford and we'll be sharing the checque evenly, no matter what you eat." Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They'll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don't drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: "Where are you going?" And it's not like I can say I have somewhere to go: everyone know I have nowhere to go. But in London, dinner parties are in people's homes. Not only that，the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India. Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations in New York. The mix is less striking. It's like a gathering at Bloomingdale's, a well-known department store. For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York. But at Mallery's, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual new club ‎ ‎( ) 1. What does the word "shot" in Paragraph 1 probably mean? ‎ A. Choice. B. Try C. Style. D. Goal ‎ ‎ ( ) 2. What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New York? ‎ A There is a strange mix of people. B. The restaurants are expensive. ‎ C. The bill is not fairly shared. D. People have to pay cash ‎ ‎ ( ) 3. What does the author think of the parties in London? ‎ A. A bit unusual B. Full of tricks. C. Less costly. D More interesting. ‎ ‎ ( ) 4. What is the author's opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience? ‎ A. Easy-going. B. Self-centered. C. Generous. D. Conservative. ‎ ‎1. B.词义猜测题.从第一句的 hate,到 but 意义上的转折,说明尽管不喜欢,还是要"尝 试一下",所以 try 的意思更接近 shot. ‎ ‎2. C.细节理解题.根据第一段中 They'll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don't drink, end up paying even more.可知类似作者这样的人在纽约吃饭 吃亏,因为付钱多. ‎ ‎3. D. 推理判断题.根据第二段和其中的句子 Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. 可以推断伦敦的 party 要比纽约的有趣. ‎ ‎4. B.推理判断题.从最后一段的 talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York.和 In New York people would think it was a usual new club 可以推断,作 者对一些纽约人的看法,是"以自我为中心的". ‎ 阅读理解。‎ Too much TV-watching can harm children's ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children. One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs. A second study ,looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year –olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the results don't prove that TV is the cause and don't ride out that already poorly motivated youngsters (年轻人)may watch lots of TV. Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages5 and 15. These with college degrees had watch an average of less than two hours of TV per week night during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2 1/2 hours for those who had no education beyond high school. In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest. While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms. ‎ ‎( ) 1. According to the California study, the low-scoring group might _________. ‎ A. have watched a lot of TV B. not be interested ted in math ‎ C. be unable to go to college D. have had computers in their bedrooms ‎ ( ) 2. What is the researchers' understanding of the New Zealand study results? ‎ A. Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV. ‎ B. Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest. ‎ C. TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds. ‎ D. The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain ‎ ‎ ( ) 3. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? ‎ A. More time should be spent on computers. ‎ B. Children should be forbidden from watching TV. ‎ C. 'IV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms. ‎ D. Further studies on high-achieving students should be done.‎ ‎ ( ) 4. What would be the best title for this text? ‎ A. Computers or Television ‎ B. Effects of Television on Children ‎ C. Studies on TV and College Education D. Television and Children's Learning Habits ‎ ‎1. A.细节理解题.根据第二段中 Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.可得出答案. ‎ ‎2. D. 细节理解题. 根据第三段 But the results don' prove that TV is the cause and don't ride t out that already poorly motivated youngsters (年轻人)may watch lots of TV.可以确定答案. ‎ ‎3. C.推理判断题.注意最后一段开头的 while 是"尽管"的意思,所以这两段都是围绕儿 童卧室不应该放电视机的问题. ‎ ‎4. B.主旨大意题.通读全文可知,文章主要通过两项研究分析了儿童看电视所造成的 影响.文章第一段第一句话是主题句,所以 B 项作为标题是最佳的。‎ 完成填空。阅读下面短文，理解大意，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。‎ I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me.
