Unit 16 Stories.閱讀理解(共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分)A(2016棗莊三中高二檢測)Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson in the back of a New York City taxi cab.Heres what happened.I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station.We were driving in the right lane when all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other cars back end by just inches!The driver of the other car，who almost caused a big accident，started yelling bad words at us.My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.And I mean he was friendly.So, I said, “Why did you just do that？This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital！”And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck.”Many people are like garbage(rubbish) trucks.They run around full of garbage，full of frustration，full of anger，and full of disappointment.As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it.And if you let them，theyll dump it on you.When someone wants to dump on you, dont take it personally.You just smile，wave, wish them well, and move on.Youll be happy with what you did.I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work，at home，or on the streets? It was that day I said，“Im not going to do anymore.”Successful people do not let Garbage Trucks take over their day.What about you？If you let more garbage trucks pass you by，youll be happier.Lifes too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.So，love the people who treat you right.Forget about the ones who dont.【語篇解讀】文章講的是發(fā)生在紐約出租車上的一件事。作者乘坐的出租車在行駛過程中，一輛停在路邊的汽車突然開動，超到了出租車前面。這差點導致一起車禍，然而，出租車司機并未責怪汽車司機，反而以禮相待。作者從此事中認識到，不應該太在意他人的抱怨和不滿，做好自己的事情。1How did the taxi driver respond to the behavior of the

“How did you lose so much weight？”Those compliments made me feel good and confident.Soon I dropped to 110 pounds.A few of my friends told me that I needed to stop dieting，because I was starting to look sick.They brought me a presenta bag of chocolates，which I later gave to my sister.My mother would come to my room，with tears in her eyes，and have long chats about how harmful this diet was and begged me to stop.My dad would leave worried messages on my cellphone at school，telling me that it would do serious harm to my body.By midJune，when school was coming to an end，I was down to an only alive state of 95 pounds.All of a sudden，I knew I had to do something.I guessed the number itself scared me.I recalled my doctor.He told me about a girl who was 95 pounds and was at the risk of dying.I knew I was putting my life at risk，but for what？To make those who love me worried？Was it worthwhile to be thin?Now I realize that models in magazines，TV and movies are not realistic.The price to pay for the “perfect body” is living with a dangerous and sometimes deadly eating disorder.And there are more important things to think about than how thin you are.【語篇解讀】文章通過作者的親身經(jīng)歷告訴大家不健康的節(jié)食會導致嚴重的健康問題，世界上還有比身材更重要的東西。5The underlined word“compliments” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”AquestionsBpraiseCunderstanding

much shorter，but tea enjoys the pride as the UKs national drink.According to the UK Tea Council，British people drink an average of three cups a day or a national total of 165 million cups every day.With figures like these，it is no surprise that time spent taking tea affects the working day in Britain.A recent survey found that 24 minutes a day are lost to making，buying and drinking tea and coffee.That is，400 a year is lost in working hours per employee，or 190 days over a lifetime.So，should employers be worried about this lost working time，or does the tea break make up in other ways?One argument is that caffeine improves mental state：a drink of tea or coffee can make you active and focus on work.Professor Rogers of the University of Bristol disagrees.After years of studying caffeine he sees nothing can prove that.“Workers would perform equally well if not drinking it at all，”he says.“But if theyre often drinking it and then go without，theyll feel tired and wont work well.”Psychologist Cooper instead emphasizes the role tea breaks play in office life，and in building social relationships.“We need to make people more active and see other people.The tea break is one way of doing this，”says Cooper.And Professor Rogers also points out the comfort effect of a hot drink：“We warm our hands on them on a cold day；theyre comforting and play a big role in our everyday life.Whatever the caffeines doing，Id say these 24 minutes arent wasted.”【語篇解讀】喝茶已經(jīng)成為英國人的習慣，且不論喝茶休息是否真的可以提高工作效率，一旦人們戒除了這個習慣，他們的工作將會受到影響。9What is the passage mainly about?ATea breaks cannot make people more active at work.BBritish people drink more tea than people in other countries.CTea break plays an important role in peoples life in Britain.DA lot of time has been wasted drinking tea in the working day.【解析】主旨大意題。文章首先闡述了茶在英國的重要地位，之后大部分內(nèi)容都在敘述喝茶休息的優(yōu)點，所以C項最能概括文章大意?！敬鸢浮緾10We learn from a recent survey that in Britain _A400 is lost in working hours for each personBtea breaks take up 24 minutes in a working dayCpeople spends 190 days drinking tea and coffee each yearDpeople drink 165 million cups in working hours every day【解析】細節(jié)理解題。結(jié)合第一段最后一句、第二段第二句和第三句的內(nèi)容可知最近的調(diào)查表明英國人一個工作日中喝茶和咖啡的時間有24分鐘?！敬鸢浮緽11Whats Psychologist Coopers attitude towards tea break?ADoubtful.BUncertain.CNegative. DPositive.【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的內(nèi)容可推測，Psychologist Coopers對喝茶休息持“肯定”態(tài)度?！敬鸢浮緿DAs an English teacher，Ive been lucky enough to travel to many countries all over the world.Ive seen people celebrating everything from the arrival of new babies to the delivery of new cars.Ive attended weddings, parties and religious celebrations in countries such as Argentina and Japan, and Ive noticed that goldthe metal or the colour of itis always part of cultural events，traditions and celebrations.It makes me wonder：Why do people love gold?For some people，gold seems to be a status(地位)symbol.Indian businessman Datta Phuge loves gold so much that hes even bought a shirt made of gold at a cost of $250，000.Im not sure Id spend so much money on a shirt，would you？But Datta Phuge has his reason.He explains，“Some people want to own an Audi or a Mercedes.I choose gold.”For other people, gold is an investment.The price of gold generally increases over time and in European markets, it reached even $1，500 per ounce in 2011.And for many people, a family heirloom (傳家寶) brings together status and investment.My mother has a gold bracelet (手鐲) that was given to her by her grandmother who，in turn, inherited it from her own grandmother.Its quite a heavy piece and probably worth quite a lot of money.But its mental value is greater than its value in dollars.Its a beautiful object that holds many family memories.When the time comes, my mum will give the bracelet to me, and one day，Ill pass it on to the younger generation.Therefore，status and investment are good reasons to value gold.However，I think that the real reason why people love gold is that it can be made into beautiful objects.Think about Tutankhamens death mask.Have you ever seen anything so beautiful?People love gold because it holds their minds, their imaginations and, above all，their hearts.【語篇解讀】不同文化背景的人都喜愛黃金或金色的東西。它既是身份的象征，又可以作為投資的對象，更重要的是，它還承載著人們美好的想象或回憶。12The main idea of the first paragraph is that_Athe author has traveled to many countriesBpeople all over the world love goldCthere are many ways to use goldDpeople celebrate almost everything【解析】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段提到的地點、場合和人們在很多時候使用黃金的事實，都指向了文章的話題：“People love gold.”第二段“It make me wonder：Why do people love gold？”起到了承上啟下的作用。對比選項，B項正確?！敬鸢浮緽13Datta Phuge bought a shirt made of gold because _Apeople there love gold so muchBhe loves this kind of shirtCgold is a status symbol to himDhe is a successful businessman【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Some people.gold.”一句，可知Datta Phuge不像其他人那樣通過買豪車，而是通過擁有黃金來展示自己是有錢人的身份。所以C項正確。【答案】C14According to the passage, in Europe, gold could be _ per ounce in 2010.A$1，450 B$1，500C$1，550 D$1，600【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“The price of gold.markets，it reached even $1，500 per ounce in 2011.”可知，金價一直在上漲，2011年是$1，500，2010年應該低于這個價格，所以A項正確?！敬鸢浮緼15The gold bracelet is the heirloom for the authors family mainly because _Aits worth a lot of moneyBit brings status and investmentCits a beautiful objectDit holds family memories【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段“.that holds many family memories”可知D項正確?！敬鸢浮緿.閱讀填句(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)(2016菏澤高二上期中)My mother
