1、北京市最新 高考英语 阅读理解复习题含答案北京市最新 高考英语 阅读理解复习题(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1阅读理解 City trees grow faster and die younger than trees in rural forestry, a new study finds. Over their lifetimes, then, urban trees will likely absorb less CO2 from the air than forest trees. As we all know, the earth would be freezing or burni
2、ng hot without CO2. However, CO2 is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps energy from the sun as/heat. That makes temperatures near the ground rise. Human activities, especially the widespread burning-of fossil(化石)fuels, have been sending extra greenhouse gases into the air. This has led to a rise in a
3、verage temperatures across the globe. Studies had shown forests readily absorb CO2, but there hadnt been much data on whether city trees grow, die and absorb CO2 at the same rate as forest trees do. So some researchers decided to find out. To figure out how quickly trees were growing, researchers tr
4、acked their diameters (the width of their trunks) between 2005 and 2014. A trees diameter increases as it grows, just as a persons waist size increases as they gain weight. About half the weight of a tree is carbon, research has shown. Most of the rest is water. Over the nine years tracking, the res
5、earchers found city trees absorbed four times as much carbon from the air as forest trees. However, they were twice as likely to die. So over the lifetime of each type of tree, forest trees actually absorbed more CO2. City trees grew faster because they had less competition for light from their neig
6、hbors. In a forest,trees tend to grow close together,shading their neighbors. Street trees also benefit from higher levels of nitrogen (氮)in rainwater. Nitrogen helps plants grow. Waste gases from gas-burning cars also contain nitrogen, thus enriching city air with nitrogen. Later, rainwater may was
7、h much of it to the ground. Some street trees may also have better access to water than trees in the country because the underground water pipes can leak.(1)What can he known about CO2 from paragraph 2? A.It is one of the side effects of greenhouses.B.It greatly accelerates the process of global war
8、ming.C.It results from the widespread burning of fossil fuels.D.It prevents the earth from becoming unsuitable to live on.(2)Why did researchers track the diameters of trees? A.To know about their growth rates.B.To find out how much they weigh.C.To check whether they were healthy.D.To assess the car
9、bon amounts in them.(3)What advantage do city trees have over forest trees? A.They are more likely to access growth promoters.B.They can enjoy more water coming from the air.C.They can enjoy more shade from neighbors.D.They are better at competing for light.(4)What will probably be talked about if t
10、he passage is continued? A.How urban trees can live longer.B.Why city living makes trees die young.C.How trees respond to dry soil conditions.D.Why faster-growing trees absorb more C02.【答案】 (1)D(2)A(3)A(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究发现:与长在森林中的树木相比,城市里的树木长得更快,但死得更早。 (1)考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“the earth would be
11、freezing or burning hot without CO2.”可知,如果没有二氧化碳,地球将会极冷或极热。可以推断,二氧化碳可以防止地球变得不适合居住。故选D。 (2)考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“To figure on how quickly trees were growing, researchers tracked their diameters.”可知,研究人员监测树木的直径是为了了解树木的生长速度。故选A。 (3)考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“Street trees also benefit from higher levels of nitrogen (氮)in
12、 rainwater. Nitrogen helps plants grow. Waste gases from gas-burning cars also contain nitrogen, thus enriching city air with nitrogen. Later, rainwater may wash much of it to the ground.”可知,与生长在森林中的树木相比,城市里的树木长得更快是因为它们无需与邻近的树木争夺光照,也能得到更多的氮量,还更容易得到水。光、氮和水都可以促进树木的生长。由此可以推断,城市里的树木比森林中的树木更可能获得生长促进剂。故选A
13、。 (4)考查推理判断。首句就提到了一项新的研究结果:城市里的树木比森林中的树木长得更快,但死得更早;文章第三段说到“以前有研究表明森林会吸收二氧化碳,但是城市里的树木的生长、死亡和吸收二氧化碳的速度是否跟森林中的树木一样,这方面的数据不多。因此一些研究人员决定弄清楚”;文章第四段再次介绍了他们的研究发现:城市里的树木比森林中的树木长得更快,但死得更早;文章最后一段介绍了城市里的树木比森林中的树木生长得更快的几个原因。由此可以推断,文章接下来很可能就要介绍城市里的树木死得更早的原因。故选B。 【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查,是一篇科研类阅读,考生需要准确掌握细节信息,并根
14、据上下文进行逻辑推理,从而选出正确答案。2阅读理解 Most of us have looked up at the stars that fill the night sky and wondered whether were alone in the universe. Indeed, the question of whether theres life out there has been something humankinds been asking itself for countless years. But thanks to Chinas Five-hundred-mete
15、r Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), the answer to this question may come a lot sooner than we expected. The telescope has a huge round reflector, which measures 500 meters across and has a perimeter(周长)of 1.6 kilometers. Because of its great size, it would have been both difficult and inefficient
16、 to get FAST to move like a regular telescope. Instead, FASTs designers came up with a great solution: its surface is made up of 4450 panels which can be individually adjusted. This clever design feature allows scientists to detect radio signals from any angle with a great degree of accuracy. Panels can change thei
