 Ⅰ 阅读理解A(2018•成都高三诊断)Flaubert had it that “one way of tolerating existence is to lose oneself in literature as in an unending party”. It turns out that reading doesn’t only help us to tolerate existence, but actually lengthens it.A recent study by Yale University researchers, published online in the journal Social Science & Medicine, concluded that “book readers experienced a 20 percent reduction in the risk of death over the 12 years of follow­up compared to non­readers”．The data was obtained from the study sponsored by the National Institute on Aging. The study looked at 3，635 subjects, all older than 50, whom the researchers divided into three groups：those who didn’t read books, those who read up to 3.5 hours a week and those who read more than 3.5 hours a week.The findings were remarkable：on average, book readers survived almost two years longer than those who didn’t crack open a book. The more the subjects read, the longer they lived, but as little as 30 minutes a day was still beneficial in terms of survival.Accounting for factors such as education level, income and health status, the study found that those who read more than 3.5 hours weekly were 23 percent less likely to die during that 12­year period. Those who read up to 3.5 hours—an average of a half hour a day—were 17 percent less likely.“In other words, just like a healthy diet and exercise, books appear to promote a significant survival advantage，” the authors concluded.Why or how that’s__the__case remains unclear；the research showed only an association between book reading and longevity, not a causal relationship. But the findings are not so surprising. Other recent research showed that reading novels appears to increase both brain connectivity and sympathy.【解题导语】　研究发现，阅读和长寿有一定的联系，阅读者的平均寿命比不读书的人长将近两岁。1．Why does the author mention Flaubert’s words in the first paragraph?A．To stress the value of reading.B．To compare reading with a party.C．To introduce the study on reading.D．To support the findings of the study.C　解析：推理判断题。文章第一段引用Flaubert的名言说明读书的作用，接着第二段介绍了耶鲁大学关于读书与死亡风险之间关系的研究。据此可以判断，引用Flaubert的名言旨在介绍对阅读的作用的研究，故C项正确。2．From the text, what can we learn about the study?A．No similar study on reading has been carried out.B．The process of the study lasted more than ten years.C．It shows readers live two years longer than non­readers.D．It shows time spent on reading increases one’s love for it.B　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“book readers... to non­readers”可知，在12年的跟踪调查中发现，与不读书的人相比，阅读者的死亡风险降低了20%。据此可知，该项调查持续了十多年，故B项正确。3．What do the underlined words “that’s the case” probably mean?A．Reading books enables people to live longer.B．Reading is similar to a healthy diet and exercise.C．Reading books is closely associated with longevity.D．Reading increases brain connectivity and sympathy.A　解析：词义猜测题。根据上文中的“books appear to promote a significant survival advantage”及上文所述的研究结论“读书可以延长寿命”和该句“Why or how that’s__the__case ... not a causal relationship.”可知，阅读为什么以及以什么方式延长读者寿命，人们仍然不清楚。据此可知，画线词指代研究表明的“读书可以延长寿命”，故A项正确。4．Where can we most probably read this text?A．https：//www.theguardian.com/life­and­style/family.B．https：//www.barnesandnoble.com/books/coming­soon.C．https：//www.washingtonpost.com/news/to­your­health.D．http：//www.thebookbag.co.uk/Book­Recommendations.C　解析：文章出处题。通读全文可知，本文主要说明了阅读和长寿有一定的联系，阅读者的平均寿命比不读书的人长将近两岁，阅读能增强大脑的功能。据此可以判断，本文属于健康话题，因此最可能摘自健康网站，故C项正确。B(2018•河南实验中学模拟)The police in Taiwan are unable to judge whether to treat it as an extremely clever act of stealing or an even cleverer cheat. Either way, it could be the perfect crime, because the criminals are birds—homing pigeons!The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car: If you want the car back, pay up. Then, the car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside. Carrying the money in a tiny bag, the pigeon flies off.There have been at least four such pigeon pick－ups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay－at－home car thief, however, may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind—one that avoids not only collecting money but also going out to steal the car in the first place. Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has pulled a double trick: He gets money for things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car－owner to place an ad in the newspaper asking for help.The theory is supported by the fact that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been returned. Also, the amount of money demanded—under 3，000 Taiwan dollars—seems too little for a car worth many times more.Demands for pigeon－delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal. “We have more important things to do，” he said.【解题导语】　本文介绍了一种新型的犯罪行为。台湾的警察无法断定这到底是聪明的盗窃行为还是更加聪明的诈骗行为，因为罪犯是信鸽。5．After the car－owner received a phone call, he________．A．went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carriedB．gave the money to the thief and had his car back in a parkC．sent some money to the thief by mailD．told the press about itA　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Then, the car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside.”可知，车主接到电话后，他会被指示去某个公园找到鸟笼，把钱系到鸟笼内鸽子的脖子上。故选A项。6．The writer mentions the fact that “none of the stolen cars have been returned” to show________．A．how easily people get fooled by criminalsB．what Chen thinks might be correctC．the thief is extremely cleverD．the money paid is too littleB　解析：推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“He gets money for things he cannot possibly return.”可知，警察认为那些丢车的人根本不可能拿回他的车。故选B项。7．The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to________．A．criminals　　　　　　 B．pigeonsC．the stolen cars   D．demands for moneyD　解析：词义猜测题。上文提到一旦报纸报道了这件事，这样的事情就没有了。由此可知they就是指代上文提到的Demands for pigeon－delivered money。故选D项。8．We may infer that the criminal knows how to reach the car－owners because________．A．he reads the ads in the newspaperB．he lives in the same neighborhoodC．he has seen the car－owners in the parkD．he has trained the pigeons to follow themA　解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句“...waits for the car－owner to place an ad in the newspaper asking for help.”可知，罪犯看了报纸上的广告然后找到丢车的人。故选A项。Ⅱ 完形填空(2018•甘肃诊断)As a child, Jane was fond of animals.
