湖南省株洲市荷塘区2016高考英语完形填空和阅读理解一轮练习（3）阅读理解。

Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important in formation that should be included, he can give you a false picture.

For exampl e, some might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for on e hundred dollars!”

This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only on e was a winner. He’s really a big loser!

He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.

Some politicians often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents(对手) says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” that’s true. However, and honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”

Advertisers(广告商) will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.

This kind of dece ption happens too of often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

1. How much did the lottery winner lose?

The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up and knocked into the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. “How embarrassing! I am getting so clumsy in my old age.”

Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said, “Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment.”

Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. “I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad and the other kids that were still at home.”

He looked at us and said, “I wish you could have met my Dad. He was a big man, and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean. He would wear his old canvas, foul-weather coat and his bibbed overalls. His rain hat would be pulled down over his brow. No matter how much my mother washed them, they woul d still smell of the sea and of fish.”

Frank’s voice dropped a bit. “When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. He had this old truck that he used in his fishing business. That truck was older than he was. It would wheeze and rattle down the road. You could hear it coming for blocks. As he would drive toward the school, I would shrink (畏缩) down into the seat hoping to disappear. Half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch (喷出) a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here, I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!”

He paused and then went on, “I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, “No, Dad.” It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face. I said, “Dad, I’m too old for a goodbye kiss. I’m too old for any kind of kiss.” My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. Then he turned and looked out the windshield. “ You’re right,” he said. “ You are a big boy....a man. I won’t kiss you anymore.”

Frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes, as he spoke. “It wasn’t long after that when m y Dad went to sea and never came back. It was a day when most of the fleet (船队) stayed in, but not Dad. He had a big family to feed. They found his boat adrift with its nets half in and half out. He must have gotten into a strong wind and was trying to sav e the nets and the floats.”

I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again. “Guys, you don’t know what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek…to feel his rough old face… to smell the ocean on him… to feel his arm around my neck. I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a man, I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss.”

1. When his father drove him to the school, Frank would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear because ________.

A. he was ashamed of his father’s old truck

B. he thought he was old enough to go to school alone

C. he didn’t want his schoolmates to see his father

2. In Frank’s eyes, when his father said “You are a big boy… a man.”, he probably felt ________.

3. According to the story we can conclude that Frank’s father ________.

A. was quite confident in his skills in fishing

B. loved his children but hardly expressed it

C. seldom gave up faced with challenges

D. was full of devotion to his family

4. By saying the sentence “I wish I had been a man then…”, Frank meant ________.

Imagine，one day，getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours，and then，after a full day of work，going back home to Beijing and having dinner there．

Sounds unusual，doesn't it? But it's not that unrealistic，with the development of China’s high—speed railway system．And that’s not a11．China has an even greater high—speed railway plan—to connect the country with Southeast Asia，and eventually Eastern Europe．

China is negotiating to extend its own high·-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 1 0 to 15 years，eventually reaching London and Singapore．

China has proposed three such projects．The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia．Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan，and possibly to Germany．The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe．

If China’s plan for the high-speed railway goes forward，people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two days．

The new system would still follow China’s high—speed railway standard．And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour，almost as fast as some airplanes．China’s bu llet train(高速客车)，the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou，already has the World’s fastest average speed．It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours．

Of course，there are some technical challenges to overcome．There are so many issues that need to be settled，such as safety，rail gauge(轨距)，maintenance of railway tracks．So，it’s important to pay attention to every detail．

But the key issue is really money．China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic railway expansion．

China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment．Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development．

It’11 be a win-win project. For other countries，the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business，tourism and so on，not to mention the better communication among those countries．

For China，such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources，but would also help develop China’s fa r west．We foresee that in the coming decades，millions of people will migrate to the western regions，where the land is empty and resources unused．With high-speed trains，people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for a11．And they’11 trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries．

( ) 1. China’s new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because ．

A. China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regions

B. China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways

C. China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries

D. the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation，business and tourism

选B在文章倒数第二段中有明确答案

( ) 2. According to the passage，the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is ．

A. technical issues

B. safety of the systemw_w w.

C. financial problems

D. maintenance of railway tracks

选C . 在文章第8段看到 There are so many issues that need to be settled...及第9节中 But the key issue is really money

( ) 3. Which of the following words best describes the author’s attitude towards China’s high-speed railway plan?

A. Critical．

B. Reserved．

C. Doubtful

D. Positive．

选D . 尽管在文章第8，9段中提到存在的问题，但从最后两段中不难看出作者是持支持的态度

( ) 4. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A. New Railway Standards

B. Big Railway Dreams

C. High—speed Bullet Trains

D. International Railway Network

选B. 贯穿全文须知这只是一个梦想

Students and Technology in the Classroom

I love my blackberry—it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer ，as it holds all of my writing and thought .Despite this love of technology ,I know that there are times when I need to move away from these device and truly communication with others.

On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas .Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom ,I have a rule —no laptop, iPods,

phones ,etc .When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy .

Most students assume that year reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I relate to my students.

The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to think differently and make connections between the course the material and the class discussion.

I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the educations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create .Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge , they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom .

I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change ,I’m sticking to my plan.

A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too give up.

( ) 1.Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with____

A. the course material

B. others’ misuse of technology

C. discussion topics

D. the author’s class regulator

( ) 2.The underlined word “engage” in para.4 probably means ____

A. explore

B. accept

C. change

D. reject

( ) 3.According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ____

A. keep students from doing independent thinking

B. encourage students to have in-depth conversations

C. help students to better understand complex themes

D. affect students’ concentration on course evaluation

( ) 4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ____

A. is quite stubborn

B. will give up teaching history

C. will change his teaching plan soon

D. values technology-free dialogues in his class

【文章大意】议论文，文章论述的主题是，"students and technology"，文章以教师的口吻谈到为何不允许学生在课堂上玩iPod、手机等通讯工具，因为technology会影响我们的深入交流。

1.答案D。细节理解题。由文章第二段内容可以得出。

2. 答案A。细节理解题。由I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. 可知technology 会影响我们的深入交流。Engage 与explore 探索意义表述与之为吻合。

3. A 推理判断题。 Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom可以推知作者认为technology 会阻碍我们的独立思考能力

4. D 推理判断题。由文章最后一段作者深信自己的technology会影响我们的深入交流。并且坚持她的values technology-free dialogues in his class的观点。
