【2016高考训练】阅读理解—推理判断题。

Expensive perfumes(香水) come in tiny bottles, but many hide a whale-sized secret.

To perfect a particular smell, perfume-makers often use an ingredient that comes from sperm whales, called ambergris. But using ambergris, which helps a perfume last longer, is strongly opposed by many people who think it is wrong to kill whales just so we can sweet, Joerg Bohlmann is neither a perfumer nor a whale expert, He's a plant biologist at the University of British Columbia in Canada. But his discovery of a new plant gene(基因) might push whales out of the perfume business.

The gene comes from fir trees, found throughout North America and commonly used as Christmas trees. The trees produce a chemical that can be used in perfume in place of ambergris—but with a catch. “There's a problem that many people wouldn't consider. In the tree, the chemical is mixed with many others. That makes separation a challenge,” Bohlmann says.”It's like trying to isolate sugar from a

biscuit.”

This is where science becomes useful. When Bohlmann learned that fir trees produce the ambergris-like chemical, he decided to use his gene know-how to find the instructions for how to make the

ambergris-substitute.

Bohlmann found that gene and took it out of the tree cells. Then he did something that might sound strange to someone who doesn't work in genetics: Bohlmann put the gene from the tree into yeast(酵母) cells. Yeast may sound familiar because it's used to make things like bread, wine and beer. Biologists like to work tith yeast because it easily adopts new genes and changes its features and behavior. When Bohlmann put the fir tree into the yeast, the yeast started making the same chemical that had seen produced by the tree.

Perfumers pay big money for ambergris because it is a fixative, which means it holds a smell in place on a person's body.

“Cheap perfumes smell good in the first hour or so and then everything it gone.” explains Bohlmann. “But expensive perfumes are much more stable. Their smell lasts much longer, for hours or even a day after you appl y them.”

The new chemical, made from the tree genes, can be used as a fixative,

too. And using yeast to make it is far cheaper than acquiring ambergris. Bohlmann admits he never thought he'd get into the perfume business. But now, he says, producers have been calling to find out how to use his technology in mew perfumes.

1.It can be inferred from the passage that if a perfume contains ambergris, .

A.Its user probably supports whale hunting

B.Its smell will last for about an hour

C.There will be a whale symbol on hour

D.It is probably very expensive

2.The underlined expression “with a catch” in Paragrph 3 means .

A.Being difficult to hold

B. having a hidden problem

C. needing further testing

D. being too similar

3. According to the passage, why are yeast cells often used in genetic research?

A. They can take on the characteristics of other genes

B. They can reproduce much faster than other cells.

C. They share some of the qualities of plant genes.

D. They're much cheaper to use than ambergris.

4. What can we learn about Joerg Bohlmann from the passage?

A. He is opposed to whale hunting.

B. He made his discovery during Christmas.

C. He has worked in the perfume industry for many years.

D. He has previously done genetic esearch.

语篇解读本文是一篇科普说明文。介绍了一种使香水香味持久的物质——龙涎香，因这一物质来自于鲸，所以遭到人们的反对。科学家们发现一些树中的化学物质可以用来取代它，他们利用酵母菌成功制造出了这些化学物质。

1.D 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句以及倒数第三段可知，含有龙涎香的香水价格昂贵，故D项正确。

2.B 词义猜测题。根据第四段中“There's a problem that many people wouldn't consider.” 可知该词组意为”有隐含的问题“，故选B项正确。

3.A 细节理解题。根据第七段第二句可知，由于酵母菌容易吸收其他基因，并将目的基因成功表达出来，故常被用于基因工程研究中，故A项正确。

4.D 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句及第三段表达的语境可知，Joerg Bohlmann 已经意识到，这些树中某些基因所产生的和

其他物质可以被用于香水中以代替龙涎香，但是这些化学物质和其他物质混合在一起，难以分离，故可以断定，Joerg Bohlmann 曾经做过基因研究，故D项正确。

故事类阅读理解。

As a young boy, I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad. He was a rural mail carrier, and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.

In the spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when I was a boy it was such fun to stick your fingers through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.

On Dad's final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailboxes to thank him for his friendship and his years of service.“Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route，” he used to say, “and a story at every one.” One lady had

no mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. Once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills. Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. One note left in a mailbox read, “Na t, take these eggs to Marian; she's baking a cake and doesn't have any eggs.” Mailboxes might be buried in the snow, or broken, or lying on the ground, but the mail was always delivered. On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank. Once, the amount came to $32,000.

A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad's death, the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasn't the case. As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. When my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green, and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: SANTA CLAUS, NORTH POLE. For years children had

dropped letters to Santa through those holes.

I made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps. There, at the door, stood Frank Townsend, Dad's postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.

At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. “What are we going to do about the letters this Christmas？”he asked.

“The letters？”

“I guess you never knew.”

“Knew what？”

“Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in those green and red boxes on Main Street? It was your dad who answered all those letters ev ery year.”

I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasn't hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old oak table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. I have since spoken with several of the people who received Christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.

For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.

1. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad as ________.

A. great chances to help other people

B. happy occasions to play with baby chickens

C. exciting experiences with a lot of fun

D. good opportunities to enjoy chocolate cookies

(2015年湖北省黄冈中学等三校联考)

I remember the first time that I was about 8 years old when for the first time, there was a computer in the classroom. I remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns to play various educational games on the computer. One day, I found the source code for one of these games. Without knowing or being taught any programming language, I was able to figure out some of the BASIC code. I just gave myself a limitless number of lives in the game, so I could continue playing it forever. This was also my first introduction to algebra, and I didn't even know it at the time. This was a decisive moment in my life.

I was quite excited because of what I was learning and what I was able to do. As a result, I was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about

self-learning and computers, and I was quite happy doing them too. I've noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do. This enthusiasm, along with good health, is the

key to being happy. It also leads to self-confidence and content in life too. It may also lead to success, wealth and achievements. Success, wealth or achievements can also bring some people happiness, yet I know plenty of rich people who are unhappy. I know many people with successful businesses that are not happy with what they are doing. I know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, such as cars, computers, and televisions, yet never seem content for too long. Please remember, happiness is the journey of life, not the destination.

2.The author wants to tell us through the first paragraph

that .

A.Interest is the best teacher

B.Children are the hope of the future

C.Young people are fearless

A.Rich people generally feel unhappy

B.Wealth can't bring people any happiness

C.One will feel unhappy once he has gained all the things he wants

【阅读理解】

William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13,1865. His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family—both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.

Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. He set

himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s.His early theatrical experiments，however，were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn't lose heart，and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.

Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats's poems attract much admiring notice.The subject matter includes love，nature，history，time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition. He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923.Yet，he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40，he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats's death in 1939, W．H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines：

Earth，receive an honoured guest：

William Yeats is laid to rest.

Let the Irish vessel (船) lie

Emptied of its poetry.

本文介绍了爱尔兰著名作家威廉·巴特勒叶慈，他在19世纪90年代成立了爱尔兰国家剧院，他以诗体戏剧及诗歌闻名，于1923年获得了诺贝尔奖。

1．Which of the following can describe Yeats's family?

A．It filled Yeats's childhood with laughter. B．It was shocked by Yeats's choice.

C．It was a typically wealthy family. D．It had an artistic atmosphere.

答案：D。细节理解题。根据短文第一段倒数第二句话可知：他从家人那儿继承了很好的艺术鉴赏能力，他的父亲和哥哥都是画家，证明他是在一个有艺术氛围的家庭中长大。2．According to the passage，what do we know about Yeats's life? A．Yeats founded the first Irish theater.

B．Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.

C．Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s. D．Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize. 答案：C。细节理解题。根据短文第二段第二句话“H e set himself...theatre in the late 1890s.”可知A项不对。根据第三段第三句话“Though Yeats...to them”可知，B项不对。根据第三段最后一句话可知，D项不对。由此可知C项正确。

3．What kind of feeling is expressed in W．H.Auden's lines? A．Envy. B．Sympathy. C．Emptiness. D．Admiration.

答案：D。推理判断题。envy忌妒；sympathy同情；emptiness空虚；admiration敬佩，钦佩。Auden的诗词中有honored guest，最尊敬的客人，可知Auden是敬佩叶慈的。

4．What is the passage mainly about?

A. Yeats's literary achievements.

B. Yeats's historical influence.

C. Yeats's artistic ambition.

D. Yeats's national honor.

答案：A。主旨大意题。本文主要讲述作家叶慈在文学方面所取得的成绩，他的诗体戏剧获得了很大的成功，他的诗歌赢得了广泛的认可，1923年，他获得了诺贝尔文学奖。
