密云区2019高考英语阅读理解系列训练（7）及答案 ‎（201*-·广东卷）‎ Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.‎ However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.‎ In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ‘dog’, and dogs can learn how to talk ‘Cat’.‎ What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was preciously suspected. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together in the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom(梳理) each other.‎ The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets----to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.‎ ‎31. The underlined word swimmingly in paragraph1 is closest in meaning to______.‎ A. early B.sweetly C.quickly D. smoothly ‎32. Some cats and dogs may fight when_________.‎ A. they are cold to each other ‎ B. they look away from each other C. they misunderstand each other’s signals D. they are introduced at an early age ‎33. What is found surprising about cats and dogs?‎ A. They eat and sleep together B. They observe each other’s behaviors C. They learn to speak each other’s language D. They know something from each other’s voice ‎34. It is suggested in paragraph 4 that cats and dogs_______.‎ A. have common interests ‎ B. are less different than was thought[来源:1]‎ C. have a common body langage D. are less intelligent than was expected ‎35. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?‎ A. We should learn to live in harmony B. We should knows more about animals C. We should live in peace with animals D. We should learn more body languages ‎【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。通过科学研究表明猫和狗在一定的情况下是能够和平相处的。如果先收养猫并且猫不到6个，狗不到一年，他们就能顺利地和平相处。通过观察他们不能和平相处的原因是他们之间误解了彼此的身势语而造成的。但有趣的是猫和狗能够相互学习彼此的身势语，这样他们就能和平相处。‎ ‎31.D考查推测词义。如果先收养猫并且猫不到6个，狗不到一年，他们就能顺利的和平相处。2/3被采访的家庭也表明这样的结果。‎ ‎32. C考查细节理解。根据第二段while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes.

A考查推理判断。根据文章的最后一段可知，在动物王国，人们公认的猫和狗都能和平相处，何况人呢？‎ ‎***********************************************************结束 阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。‎ A A three-year independent investigation into the September 11, 2019 attack on the Pentagon has yielded new eyewitness evidence which, according to the Southern California-based researchers who conducted the investigation conclusively (and unfortunately), establishes as a historical fact that the violence which took place in Arlington that day was not the result of a surprise attack by suicide hijackers, but rather a military black operation involving a carefully planned and skillfully executed deception."‎ A CNN Reporter at the scene states that there is no evidence that a 757 hit the Pentagon.‎ ‎　 What hit the Pentagon? A Boeing 757 loaded with passengers and fuel right? Who was on Flight 757? According to the Flight Information there were No Arabs on it. That makes me wonder if Flight 757 actually existed at all.[来源:1ZXXK]‎ ‎　　From the pictures and the videos, people can find that there are several doubtful points that need to be taken into consideration, for example the marker line on the grass in the satellite and ground pictures, the different colors of the smoke, the hole which the plane impacted, and the standing pylons (架线塔).‎ ‎　　Also, from the comparison of the different pictures, people can find some other strange points. For example, the gear (齿轮) is not the matching one. The wreckage of the plane is not the one from the American Airlines. The glass on the pavement of the pole is another doubtful point. The last thing that need considering is about the collapse. One of the gif video shows the plane impacting the Pentagon. The only problem with this video footage is that it has been altered (改变) and can not be fully trusted.‎ ‎　　These crash photos and videos shown here clearly have been doctored (篡改) and don't even match the physics of what happened. So where is the real video? It leaves me many questions. Is this a missile? It is a real enigma.‎ ‎1. Where can you possibly read this article?‎ ‎ A. In a newspaper. B. In a book. C. In a magazine. D. On a website ‎2. What the word “yielded” mean in the first sentence?‎ ‎ A. given in B. surrendered C. produced D. given away ‎3. Which of the following doubtful points is not mentioned in the passage?‎ ‎ A. the colors of the smoke B. the marker line on the grass ‎ C. the standing pylons D. the model of the plane ‎4. What is the author’s attitude towards the 911 investigation?‎ ‎ A. Positive. B. Skeptical. C. Neutral. D. NG.‎ 参考答案 1-4 DCDB ‎ ‎***************************************************结束 社会生活类---[201*·陕西卷] ‎ ‎ Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not. ‎ A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos(纹身), nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can't judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey(传递)certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.‎ ‎ Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees(雇员)，because those people represent the companies to their customer.[来源:学|科|网]‎ As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of wellqualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am openminded, I can't expect all our customers are.[来源:Z#xx#k.Com]‎ There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.‎ ‎57．Which of the following is the newspaper editor's opinion according to Paragraph 2? ‎ A．People's appearances carry messages about themselves.‎ B．Customers' choices influence dress standards in companies.‎ C．Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.‎ D．Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.‎ ‎58．What can be inferred from the text? ‎ A．Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.‎ B．What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.‎ C．Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates. ‎ D．Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.‎ ‎59．Which of the following would be the best title for the text? ‎ A．Employees Matter ‎ B．Personal Choices Matter C．Appearances Matter ‎ D．Hiring Managers Matter ‎60．The author's attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as________. ‎ A．enthusiastic B．negative ‎ C．positive D．sympathetic ‎【要点综述】又是一年毕业季，很多大学毕业生又要开始为寻找一份可以赖以生存的工作而奔忙了，但是，影响就业成功的因素很多，其中有一点就是面试时的着装。‎ ‎57．C　推理判断题。根据第二段的首句可知报纸编辑认为有纹身或戴鼻环去面试的人应该受到公平的对待，故本题选C。‎ ‎58．B　推理判断题。通读第三段可知本文作者的意思是：员工的穿着不再是员工的私人问题，而是影响到公司的声誉和发展的大问题。选B。‎ ‎59．C　主旨大意题。本文大意是关于员工的着装问题，故本题选C。‎ ‎60．B　作者意图题。根据本文后两段可知，作者不赞成员工着奇装异服，即作者的态度是“否定的”，故选B。‎ ‎****************************************************结束 ‎.（201*·四川卷） ‎ In business, there’s a speed difference: It's the difference between how important a firms leaders say speed is to their competitive (竞争的) strategy（策略）and how fast the company actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. Companies fearful or losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.‎ In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track, What’s more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up “improved their top and bottom lines ,averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-years period.‎ How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better ? They thought differently about what “slower “and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly ) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value ). Simply increasing the speed of production, for example , may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference . But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.‎ In our study, high performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary . They became more open to idea and discussion. They encouraged new ways of thinking. And they allowed time to look and learn. By contrast (相比而言). Performance suffered at firms that moved falt all the among their employer , and had little time thinking about changes.‎ Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership . Teams that regularly take time to get things right , rather than plough ahead full bore , are more successful in meeting their business goals . That kind of strategy must come from the top.‎ ‎57 . What does the underlined part “gain an edge ” in Paragraph 2 mean ?‎ ‎ A. Increase the speed. B. Get an advantage.‎ ‎ C. Reach the limit. D. Set a goal ‎58. The underlined part “the laws of business physics” in Paragraph 3 means ___________.‎ ‎ A. spending more time and performing worse.‎ ‎ B. spending more time and performing better ‎ C. spending less time and performing worse ‎ ‎ D. spending less time and performing better ‎ ‎59. What can we learn from the text?‎ ‎ A. how fast a firm moves depends on how big it is.‎ ‎ B. how competitive a firm is depends on what it produces.‎ ‎ C. Firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes.‎ ‎ D. Firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit.‎ ‎60. Where could be the last title for the text?‎ ‎ A. Improve quality? Serve better.‎ ‎ B. Deliver value? Plough ahead.‎ ‎ C. Reduce time? Move faster.‎ ‎ D. Need speed? Slow down.‎ ‎【答案】BDCD ‎*************************************************************结束 ‎.（201*·全国II） ‎ Since 1984, Philadelphia has been cleaning up its act.
