高考英语二轮复习阅读理解强化练习题（10）
1.    Working on your adventure list? These national park treasures which turn favorites during the harvest time should be on it.
    Cuyahoga Valley National Park
    33,000 acres of forests wait between Cleveland and Akron, all along the snaking Cuyahoga River. The park will delight you with plenty of outdoor activities suiting every interest, but do not climb over the fenced areas, rocks, or Brandywine Falls. Now the red maple trees will be visually on fire, which you can enjoy from the comfort of the tourist railway — Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad.
    Gateway Arch National Park
    This urban park comes back thanks to the Arch’s new Museum and Visitor Center. Give your feet a break after walking over five miles of park pathways with a ride to the top of the Arch to enjoy beautiful leaves. You can even bring your dog: the park is hosting Arch Bark every October.
    Gulf Islands National Seashore
    Extending some 160 miles along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico, this series of parks includes a historic building, untouched barrier islands, and sugar-white beaches. Don’t miss the Fort Pickens area, which is a perfect spot to observe wild animals living in the scenic natural environment. With an average high of 79°F and a low of 60°F, the fall weather here is exceptional.
    Voyageurs National Park
    Yellow and red leaves in fall will catch your eyes, contrasting with this park’s glassy waters. In the Land of 10,000 Lakes, there are no roads in the park, so visitors use boats to cross this remote 218,000-acre park. Over 100 bird species, even the rare ones, pass through the park, so keep an eye out for them.
1.What can visitors do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park?
A.Climb over the rocks. B.Walk dogs on pathways.
C.Enjoy scenery by train. D.Sunbathe on the beach.
2.Which park is great for bird viewing?
A.Voyageurs National Park. B.Gateway Arch National Park.
C.Cuyahoga Valley National Park. D.Gulf Islands National Seashore.
3.Which season is best suited for trips to these parks?
A.Summer. B.Spring. C.Winter. D.Autumn.
2.    Midway through The Matrix, Cypher feasts on an enormous steak, well aware that his reality is not real, part of a digital program telling his brain that the steak is a construction and that it is “juicy and delicious.” Two decades after the movie made its first appearance, something unexpected arises: The future of reality will not only be virtual but also synthetic(合成的). Cypher’s future meal will be a physical one, synthesized from animal cells.
    And the synthesis goes beyond dinner. Starting with components from the natural world, scientists are learning to engineer microorganisms and build biocomputing systems. However, biology has a tendency to evolve in unexpected ways.
    Synthesized meat is one case in point. The driving forces behind the meat movement are practical. It has been estimated that cultured (培育的) meat would require 7 to 45 percent less energy and produce 78 to 96 percent less greenhouse gas than conventional animals farmed for consumption. But once we’re able to synthesize meat, theoretically, we’ll have the capability to culture meat from any animal, even those we’d never consider eating today, like dolphins or chimpanzees, which will pose a new regulatory challenge for us.
    Using synthetic biology, we can even edit and rewrite life, the technology of which are already in use. In 2021, scientists in some countries announced they had grown monkey embryos injected with human stem cells. Here comes the situation worth considering: such a monkey-human hybrid will demonstrate qualities that are somewhere between humans, on which experimentation isn’t allowed, and animals, which are often raised specifically for research. How will we decide when an animal becomes too human?
    Depending on where you stand, the synthetic realities land somewhere between “really exciting” and “critically concerning.” As individuals, we undertake a shared responsibility to make good choices about this coming synthetic technology.
1.What do we know about Cypher’s steak in the movie?
A.It is anything but appetizing.
B.It is enjoyed in a virtual world.
C.It is synthesized from animal cell.
D.It is a construction made by himself.
2.What’s the advantage of synthesized meat?
A.It is more nutritious.
B.It is more energy-consuming.
C.It is more environment-friendly.
D.It is more controllable in regulation.
3.What is the author’s attitude to the experiment in Paragraph 4?
A.Cautious. B.Favorable. C.Pessimistic. D.Indifferent.
4.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To popularize synthetic technology.
B.To indicate challenges of synthetic technology.
C.To stress the importance of synthetic technology.
D.To introduce the development of synthetic technology.
3.    In the world of water, 2021 was another year for the record books. Parts of Western Europe suffered from deadly floods while large areas of the southwestern United States remained locked in a massive drought.
    One might think that our impressive water management would safeguard society from such catastrophic events. Yet when it comes to water, the past is no longer a good guide for the future and most of the water engineering is unprepared for consequences of increasingly occurring extreme weather. One of the most alarming wake-up calls came from the city of Cape Town, where the water taps of 4 million residents were nearly forced to be shut off after severe drought dried up its reservoir (水库).
    Appealing as it might be, the solution is not to further build bigger and higher dams(水坝) that often result in more disastrous flooding. Rather, it is to work more with natural processes.
    The Netherlands avoided major damage from the historic floods in July 2021 thanks to its recently completed project, which gives river room to spread out by redirecting floodwaters into wetlands, lowering parts of the stormy river by more than a foot. Agricultural practices offer another strategy. Scientists have found that boosting organic matter in the soil by 1% can increase the soil’s water-holding capacity by up to 18,000 gallons per acre, creating flexibility to both intense rains and dry periods. This means farmland practices such as the planting of cover crops can not only raise output but improve water management.
    Solutions don’t come easily, but they are key to a livable future. While it’s too late to avoid the impacts of climate change, we can avoid the worst of those impacts by investing more in such nature-based water solutions.
1.Cape Town is mentioned to show__________.
A.the reservoir was of no use.

3. Which of the following water projects might win the author’s favor?
① “Restoring Healthy Soil” ② “Filling Wetland”
③ “Strengthening Dam” ④ “Making Room for River”
A.①② B.②③ C.③④ D.①④
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Water disaster: way out of control.
B.Investment in water: a key to the future.
C.Nature-based solution: a way out for water.
D.Good news: farming practices working well.
4.    In the early nineteenth century in Britain, many improvements were made in medicine. Illnesses that had been deadly a few years before were now curable. However, Surgeons had one problem. They had restricted access to dead bodies to dissect(解剖),which was the only way that they could learn about the flesh and bones inside the body and the only way to teach new surgeons to carry out operations.
    The job of finding these dead bodies was carried out by an unpleasant group of people called “body snatchers”. They went into graveyards at night and dug up any recently buried bodies. Then they took the bodies to the medical schools and sold them. A body could be sold for between￡5 and 10, which was a lot of money at that time.
    The most famous of these body snatchers was a man from Edinburgh called William Burke. He was different because he did not just dig up bodies from graveyards. He got greedy and thought of an easier way to find bodies. Instead of digging them up, he killed the poorer guests in his small hotel. Dr. Knox, the respected surgeon he worked for, never asked why all the bodies he brought him had been strangled(勒死).
    Burke was eventually arrested and put on trial in 1829. The judge showed no mercy to him and his punishment was to be hanged. Appropriately, his body was given to the medical school and he ended up on the dissecting table, just like his victims.
    Now, over 180 years later, surgeons do not need the help of criminals to learn their skills. However, the science of surgery could not have developed without their rather gruesome help.

A.Incredibly fascinating. B.Surprisingly influential.
C.Extremely understandable. D.Unpleasantly shocking.
5.Last year, I went through every high school senior's nightmare：I was refused from all the colleges I applied to. It's not that I was a bad student. I had a narrow vision, applying only to some key schools. So when I got refused, I got into a panic. I thought there was only one path to success, and I wasn't on it. While all my friends were picking out twin extra-long sheets, I was left wondering what kind of future I could have.
When my panic faded, I signed in the community college. I wasn't excited. I imagined community college classrooms with incompetent teachers that taught their students to sleep. I was so wrong. My art history professor was so poetic, and her lectures felt spoken word. My classmates were intelligent and came from all walks of life - still figuring things out like me.
I decided to give myself a year of experiment. Aside from general education, I took a range of classes. I know it seems like a random kind of classes, but it allowed me to know what I like and don't like. I used to have this idea that I had to rush in order to achieve a certain level of success by a certain age, but a year of community college has taught me to slow down, and to recognize that things take time to adjust. I still hope to transfer to a four-year university next year, but I'll be going about it as a more mature person.
Being around students from all walks of life has made me realize that I'm not late in the game at all. There's more than one way to get where you want to be.

D. It's a waste of time being around students from all walks of life.
6."Human activity has wiped out two-thirds of the world's wildlife since 1970," CNN reported on September 10, 2020. Later that month, The Guardian reported that "40 percent of the world's plant species are at risk of extinction". Stanford biologist Paul Ehrlich and his colleague announced that "the ongoing sixth mass extinction may be the most serious environmental threat to the persistence of civilization." Around the same time, The Daily Mail warned that human civilization stands a 90 percent chance of collapse within decades due to deforestation.
These frightening calculations and projections come from authoritative reports issued by international agencies, conservation groups, and peer-reviewed scientific journals. But is the future of wild nature and human civilization really so bleak(暗淡的)?
Data from uncontroversial mainstreams sources strongly indicate that both humanity and the natural world are likely to be flourishing rather than collapsing at the end of this century.
Humanity is becoming an urban species, and that's good for the environment, since city residents generally use less electricity, emit less globe-warming carbon dioxide, and have smaller land footprints than people living in the countryside. By 2100, demographers project that 85 percent of people will be citizens, which would leave only 1.2 billion still living in the countryside. That means more space for the wildlife and less pollution from the agriculture.
The global tree coverage increased by 865, 00 square miles between 1982 and 2016. The researchers found that gains in forest area in the temperate, subtropical, and boreal climatic zones are offsetting(抵消)declines in the tropics. The Maryland researchers attribute much of that increase to "natural afforestation on abandoned agricultural land." Furthermore, forests in mountainous regions are expanding as climate warming enables trees to grow at higher altitudes. Humanity does face big environmental challenges in the coming century. But a number of scientific and economic evidences show that most of the trends are positive or can be turned in a positive direction by human ingenuity. Rather than an age of extinction, the 21st century promises to be an era of environmental renewal.
1.Why does the author mention the reports in Paragraph 1?
A.To support his opinion. B.To give examples.
C.To introduce the topic. D.To make a contrast.
2.What will happen by 2100 according to Paragraph 4?
A.No one will choose to live in the countryside.
B.There will be more pollution from the agriculture.
C.City residents will use more electricity.
D.More space will be available for the wildlife.
3.What can we know about the forest according to the author?
A.The forest area is decreasing year by year.
B.The global tree coverage increased so much in 2016.
C.There are more forests in mountainous regions due to the climate warming.
D.The forest area in the temperate zones and tropics is increasing.
4.What might be the best title of the passage?
A.The Hopeless Future of Humanity.
B.21st Century: An Era of Environmental Renewal.
C.The Challenges in the Corning Century.
D.Better Environment, Better Future of Human.
7.    Every superhero, no matter how small, needs a cape(披风). That was Robyn Rosenberger's motivation when she started sewing superhero capes for kids with cancer, heart defects, and other serious diseases.
    It all began when she was making a cape as a birthday present for her nephew. rosenberger heard of a girl named Brenna who was battling a potentially deadly skin condition called harlequin ichthyosis(丑角样鱼鳞病). Anyone going through what she was going through had to be tough. “I had an aha moment, rosenberger says." Brenna was a superhero! She needed a cape.

9.    The document issued on Tuesday explains in detail the specific measures to carry out the policy decision of the central authorities on May 31 to allow all couples to have a third child, as the country faces the continuous challenges of a graying society and a decreasing birthrate.
    The document said financial burdens, a shortfall in the provision of day care services and women's career concerns were among the major factors that have reduced couples' willingness to have more children.
    The document asked local governments  to simplify the handling of matters such as the issuing of birth certificates, vaccinations for newborn babies and applications for social security cards.
    Broader support will also be rolled out in a wide range of sectors to improve the provision of day care services, the document said,  adding that kindergartens will be encouraged to admit children younger than 3,the lower limit under the current admission policies.  The document suggests couples with younger children will have access to tax reductions,subsidized(补助)housing and breastfeeding leave.  Inspections will also be made to ensure pregnancy and childbirth do not endanger women's career opportunities.
    The document noted that China will continue to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of families with only one child. Efforts will also be made to explore setting up an improved leave system for offspring from one-child families to care for their parents.
    As the authorities are still changing and improving rules to adapt to the new third-child policy. many couples have found themselves in limbo. Under China's family planning rules, couples usually need to get official documents to expand their families.
    To address this, the authorities in some parts of China, including the Tibet autonomous region and Anhui province, have allowed couples to go ahead with their plans to have more children, and they will be able to apply for the official documents once the new rules are in place.

10.    Athletes in the Olympic Villages-in the Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou zones-have been sharing their moments with the panda in photos and videos, while Bing Dwen Dwen fans have patiently waited to buy products from licensed stores and through official online channels.
The enthusiasm for the mascot(吉祥物)products has led to a shortage of products,with many netizens complaining that it's too difficult to get a Bing Dwen Dwen doll.
    Zhang Zhicheng, a spokesman for the National Intellectual Property Administration,  said the difficulty buyers face in getting the mascot products shows the country's stronger and more comprehensive protection of Olympic symbols. “As the mascot has Olympic symbol protection, it also receives patent(专利),trademark and copyright protection,"Zhang said at a news conference organized by the 2022 Beijing Media Center on Monday.
    Comprehensive IPR protection(全方位的知识产权保护)guarantees the rights and interests of IPR owners, and also promotes the spread of Olympic culture, he said.  "Comprehensive IPR protection is our way of keeping Olympic rules. It's also symbolic of our respect for every athlete, and encouragement for technological innovators at this sports event," he said.
    Sun Lei, an IPR lawyer at Yuanhe Partners in Beijing, said that difficulty in buying a Bing Dwen Dwen doll reflects enhanced awareness of the importance of protecting Olympic symbols, adding that thanks should go to the country's early warmings on the issue and other measures.
    After Bing Dwen Dwen was unveiled in 2019,the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2022 Olympics issued a notice on the protection of the mascot. It warned that no individual or department could use the image or name of the mascot for private reasons. It added that using the image in anything other than the official designs was also banned.

I still hope to transfer to a four-year university next year, but I'll be going about it as a more mature person.（我曾经有这样的想法，为了在某个年龄达到一定的成功水平，我必须匆忙，但一年的社区大学教会我放慢脚步，认识到事情需要时间来调整。我仍然希望明年能转到四年制大学，但我会以一个更成熟的人的身份去做）"可知，作者从他在社区大学的经历中了解到没有必要急于取得一定的成功。故选A.
6.答案：1.C; 2.D; 3.C; 4.B
解析：1.推理判断题。文章第一段列出了不同媒体对于物种灭绝的讨论以及人类文明未来的预测,在第二段最后一句提出“ But is the future..”并在后文进行解释。由此可以看出这篇文章的话题就是讨论人类环境的未来趋势,故第一段的报道只是为了引出文章主题而给出的铺垫,故C项正确。
2.细节理解题。从文中第四段第二句可以看出A选项错误。C选项陈述事实与第四段第句描述的不符并且不是发生在2100年的事情,故排除C。从文章中第四段最后一句“That means more space for the wildlife and less pollution from the agriculture.”可以看出B选项错误,故D项正确。
3.推理判断题。从文中第二段最后一句中的“But”可以看出作者并不同意媒体的报道故A错误;从文中第五段第一句“The global tree coverage increased by 865,000 square miles between 1982 and 2016”看出并不是在2016年一年内增加的森林覆盖率,故排除B选项;从第四句“ Furthermore, forests in mountainous regions are expanding”看出C选项正确。从该段第二句“offsetting declines in the tropics”可以得出D选项错误。故C页正确。
4.主旨大意题。从文章第二段和最后一段的最后一句“Rather than an age of extinction, the 21st century promises. ”可看出,作者认为未来充满希望,人类和自然都将迎来更美好的未来,故B项正确。
