南寧市2014高考英語一輪（暑假） 閱讀理解訓(xùn)練（10）及答案閱讀理解主旨大意Passage* (重慶聯(lián)合診斷卷) Science and technology have advanced at such a rate that cloning (克隆)has now become a reality. The possibility of cioning humans is a serious issue and raises ethical (倫理的) questions. In my opinion, cloning is useful for research imo cures for disease. However, I think that it needs to be approached with caution and carefully monitored by governments. Research into cloning and stem cell (肝細(xì)胞) production is primarily aimed at finding new treatments for currently incura- ble illnesses. While this would improve the quality of life for many, not enough is understood about what effects cloning would have on the world in the future. This is primarily because we do not understand enough about the effects of cloning and both the physical and psychological effects that is likely to have on cloned humans and on the rest of the world. Further- more, it is thought that a cloned human would be unlikely to survive birth and would suffer from complications resulting from malformed (畸形的) organs. There are also quite serious ethical issues in danger. In essence, those who are against cloning would argue that scientists have no right to play God and to interfere with natural processes. Producing embryos ()for the purpose of harvesting stem cells for research presents important questions about the nature and status of the embryo being produced. It may also make us question whether throwing it away after use reduces the value we place on human life.A conclusion I do not agree that research into cloning using human embryos should continue. This is not only because it may reduce the value we place on human life, but also because not enough is known about the effects. However, I do think that if there is a way to produce stem cells using cloning which does not put human life at risk, then governments should continue to support it. 1. What is the writer's general opinion on cloning ? A. It is useful in every area of research. B. It needs to be carefully controlled by governments. C. It is useful for research into cures for disease if it is controlled. D. It is only useful for research into cures for disease. 答案: C 指導(dǎo)：從文章第一段最后兩句知，C選項(xiàng)表達(dá)作者的觀點(diǎn)。2. The main argument in Paragraph 3 is that _. A. scientists do not value human life B. the process of cloning needs to be questioned C. cloning devalues human life D. scientists should not interfere with natural processes 答案: D指導(dǎo)：根據(jù)第三段的第二句：“would argue that cientists have no right to play God and interfere with natural processes”可直接選D.*結(jié)束閱讀理解主旨大意Passage *Doodles are signs which you draw unconsciously when you are holding a pen in your hand and just happen to start writing aimlessly. However, there is more to these" diagrams (圖形) of the unconscious" than what you see. Free from the restriction of the conscious mind, they can be useful in finding your character and personality, and many of your secret hopes, ambitions, fears, and dreams. Faces are a sign of sociability or lack of it. If you doodle happy, smiling faces, you have a friendly, out-going disposition which people respond to, and you enjoy an active social life If your faces are bad, this may mean hating others. Faces looking to the right are a sign of out-going personality and confident expectation about the future, to the left, a sign of shyness and self-control. Bare or narrow trees show a lack of warmth. You've probably been disappointed in life or could even be suffering from a minor illness that needs attention. If you build a house in layers (層), each layer separate, you could be too proud, too eager to make your loved ones folow your order and jump to attention. A little untidiness in a house makes the people feel comfortable, safe and happy.If your doodle looks like a web, you are making a cry for help in solving a problem. You feel trapped, and are seeking a way out perhaps you even want to travel, try out new ideas and realize your ambitions. But you lack confidence to step out into the world on your own because of the web you've created around you. 1. One can probably have the wish to be _if he doodles a building with unconnected storeys. A. a leader B. a self-controlled person C. a shy person D. an attentive person 答案: A 指導(dǎo)：由第四段第一句“follow your or der and jump to attention"可知A最佳。2. If you doodle a face, you may do any of the following EX-CEPT. A. lead an active life B. lead an inactive life C. want to get on well with others D. be in charge of others 答案: D 指導(dǎo)：由第二段可知A、B、C三項(xiàng)都涉及而D未涉及。3. What does the underlined word "doodle" mean in Paragraph2? A. to draw without realizing what one is drawing B. to draw carefully and attentively what one likes drawing C. to write different things without certain limits D. to write at home, mainly on the wall 答案: A 指導(dǎo)：由文中第一句話可知選A.4. What is the possible best title of the passage? A. Don't doodle, or you'll not be able to keep secret. B. Recognize yourself with the help of doodles. C. Doodling, an unpopular habit. D. Doodling may cause untidiness.答案: B 指導(dǎo)：由文章第一段最后一句知：從隨意亂畫的圖案可以發(fā)現(xiàn)個人的性格、個性，以及許多不為人知的希望、抱負(fù)、恐懼及夢想等。故此，B最能概括文意。*結(jié)束閱讀理解-細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí) Passage 4It's not the flashiest car in the world. Not even close. But the 1971 Volkswagen named Helios can do something most cars can't: nm on solar energyenergy from the sun's light and heat ! Joshua Bechtold, 14. and the other students at the Riverside School in Lyndonville, Vermont, worked many months to get Helios ready for the 1999 American Tour de Sol("Sol" is the Latin word for "sun"). They named their car after Helios, the sun god in Greek mythology(神話) . The 4-year-old Tour de SOl encourages the use of "green", or environmentally friendly, cars to help reduce pollution and save energy. It's not a race. Cars are judged on fuel efficiency (耗油量) rather than speed. In the week-long event, 44 cars took the 350-mile tour from Waterbury, Connecticut, to Lake George, New York. Of the 23 student cars, Helios was the on- ly one built by middle school students. A teacher drove Helios, but the children talked with people wherever they stopped along the road "That was my favor- ite part. "says Anna Browne, 15. "We explained how the car runs." Due in part to old, inefficient batteries (電池), Helios finished fourth out of four in its kind, the sun-powered class. "We were there for the fun of it. "Anna says. "We're proud of Helios, ' says Ariel Gleicher, 14. "It's a car that's good for the environment." 1. What is special about the car Helios in the text? A. It was built by middle school students. B. It has an attractive design. C. It was made in 1971. D. It won the fourth prize. 答案: A 指導(dǎo)：這是一道細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句Helios was the only one built by middle school students可以推斷選A.2. How many sun-powered cars took part in the race? A. 1. B. 4. C. 23. D. 44. 答案: B 指導(dǎo)：這是一道細(xì)節(jié)推斷題兩太陽能賽車參賽。根據(jù)最后一段第一句outoffour可以推斷一共有4輛太陽能賽車參賽。3. What would be the best title for the text? A. The Making of Helios B. 1999 American Tour de sol C. Sun-powered Cars on the Road D. Use of Green Cars in Connecticut 答案: C 指導(dǎo)；這是一道主旨題。這篇文章主要講幾個中學(xué)生制造的太陽能賽車上路參加比賽的事，所以最好的題目是Sun powered Cars on the Road4. The students felt proud of Helios because_. A. it could run as far as 350 miles B. it was favored by many children C. it had high-quality batteries D. it was driven by clean energy Passage答案: D指導(dǎo)：這是一道細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。根據(jù)最后一句It's a car that's good for the environment，即是由綠色能源驅(qū)動的。*結(jié)束【閱讀理解細(xì)節(jié)事實(shí)】Passage * (儀征聯(lián)考) The following is about the BBC and some other broadcasting stations Britain.Station Broadcasting timeType of programmeRadio Radio 24 hours a day24 hours a dayPop and light music;sportsPop and light music;sportsRadio Radio 7 a. m. toabout mindnight6 a. m. to about midnightSerious music; culturalprogrammes; science talkThe main news service.The BBC has local radio stations, such as Radio Wales which broadcasts some programmes in the Welsh language.
