1、專題限時訓練(二十三)　[社會生活型閱讀理解(一)] (限時：25分鐘) 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 (一) I've spent over a year in India, and in those 365 plus days, I've learned a lot about getting around Indian cities. My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated, particularly by taxi and rickshaw (人力車) drivers, but that

2、doesn't mean those are bad ways to travel, as long as you know what you're doing. Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi, India, and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams (欺詐)． Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are, if you arrive

3、in Delhi by plane, as soon as you make it through customs, you'll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers. At the Delhi airport, be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths. One is inside the airport, and one is outside. The key is to make sure to go to a

4、 booth run by the police, rather than by independent taxi drivers. Rickshaws are one of my favourite ways to get around Indian cities, in part because it's how the locals often travel. Auto-rickshaws are more common, but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi. If you do have a chance to take

5、 a bicycle rickshaw, you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees. Auto-rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees, depending on the distance. If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals, take a public bus. Indian

6、 buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning. They are, however, very cheap. A bus trip won't set you back any more than 15 rupees, as long as you stay within the city limits. Since Indian buses get so crowded, try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.

7、 The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi. Fares are reasonable, between 6 and 22 rupees. All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English, and tokens can be purchased for between 6 and 22 rupees. 1．The author is trying to ________ in Delhi through this text. A．giv

8、e some advice of travelling B．expect us to travel around C．show his/her experiences D．explain the difficulties of travelling 2．To avoid being cheated, you ought to ________ if you want to take a taxi at the Delhi airport. A．pay more to the drivers to keep safe B．show your ticket to the driver

9、 C．go to a police-run booth D．go out of the airport 3．What can we infer from the passage? A．You won't have to pay much if you travel around by bus in India. B．It will be difficult for you to get a seat if you get on the bus halfway. C．A rickshaw driver only charges whatever amount you give him.

10、 D．You'll have to speak English if you travel around in India. 4．Which may be the topic that follows? A．Hotel recommendations in Delhi. B．Weather conditions in Delhi. C．Food and drink in Delhi. D．Car rentals in Delhi. (二) Life is to be enjoyed. There's no point in giving up something you enj

11、oy unless you get something back that's even better. When people eat more healthfully, exercise, quit smoking, and manage stress better, they find that they feel so much better that it reconstructs the reason for making these changes from fear of dying to joy of living. The latest studies show that

12、when you exercise and eat right： YOUR BRAIN receives more blood flow and oxygen, so you become smarter, think more clearly, have more energy, and need less sleep. Two studies showed that just walking for three hours per week for only three months caused so many new neurons (神經(jīng)細胞) to grow that it ac

13、tually increased the size of people's brains! YOUR FACE receives more blood flow, so your_skin_glows more and wrinkles less. You look younger and more attractive. In contrast, an unhealthy diet, chronic emotional stress and smoking reduce blood flow to your face so you age more quickly. Smoking acc

14、elerates aging because nicotine causes your arteries (動脈) to narrow down, which decreases blood flow to your face and makes it wrinkle earlier. This is why smokers look years older than they really are. YOUR GENES change. In May, a study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of S

15、ciences showing that changing your lifestyle changes your genes. YOUR TELOMERES (染色體端粒) get longer. Telomeres are the ends of our chromosomes (染色體) that control how long we live. As telomeres become shorter, then cells age more quickly, thus shortening our lives. Besides, one of the most interesti

16、ng findings in the study was that the mothers' awareness of stress was more important than what was really occurring in their lives. The researchers gave the women a questionnaire and asked them to rate on a three-point scale how stressed they felt each day, and how out of control their lives felt t

17、o them. The women who were aware that they were under heavy stress had significantly shortened and damaged telomeres compared with those who felt more relaxed. On the contrary, some of the women who felt relaxed despite raising a disabled child had more normal-appearing telomeres. In other words, i

18、f you feel stressed, you are stressed; if you feel fine, you are fine. 1．Which of the following are good for lengthening one's life, according to the passage? ① eat healthy food ② drink plenty of water ③ take exercise ④ get up early ⑤ go to sleep early ⑥ release one's stress A．①③⑥ B．①②③ C．①

22、 their own offers according to a study led by a Michigan State University scholar that has implications for the fast-growing e-commerce industry. The findings may come as a surprise that shopping online is an anonymous(匿名的)process that seemingly can give consumers more confidence to drive a hard bar

23、gain，said Don Conlon，professor of Management in MSU's Broad College of Business. But the study found that participants who made their own offers were less successful in sealing the deal and，when they were successful, worried they overpaid. Many shoppers found the process of researching an offer to

24、be a hassle. “Americans are very busy，and it's less time-consuming to be the one receiving the offer rather than the one proposing the offer，” Conlon said. “People tend to be happier when they're in the receiver role. ” Online spending in the United States is expected to jump 45 percent in the next

25、 three years，from $ 226 billion this year to $ 327 billion in 2017，according to Forrester Research Inc. Nevertheless, researches into this prosperous market remain largely focused on the strategies of companies, rather than those shoppers. Conlon's study is，obviously, a rare exception. Conlon got t

26、he idea for the study after considering the difference between two popular sites for hotels and airline flights, , which takes bids, and ，which provides offers. Using these two models，Conlon and his fellow researchers conducted a series of experiments with more than 850 people who were charged with

27、booking a fictional hotel room and acquiring a fictional antique car. Not only did participants prefer to receive bids, Conlon said，but they also secured more deals in that receiver role. Further when they had to make the bids，they were left more mentally taxed and regretful. From an industry persp

28、ective，putting customers in the receiver role may help fill more hotel rooms and airplane seats. “If you're a business with a lot of products，” Conlon said，“you may want to be the one making the offers. ” However, when selling single items, such as an antique car, accepting bids may be a better opti

29、on since that typically drives up the price, he said. 1．What can we learn from Para. 1? A．The result of the study gives customers more confidence. B．Scholars aren't surprised at the findings of the study. C．Online shoppers don't bargain as much as expected. D．E-commerce industry drives more har

30、d bargains. 2．It can be concluded from Conlon's experiments that________． A．online shopping is time-consuming B．given prices help promote online sales C．online businesses provide a lot of products D．receiving offers makes online shoppers regretful 3．The underlined word “taxed” in Para. 4 proba

32、題限時訓練(二十三) (一) 【要點綜述】本文作者就在印度德里旅行時的交通方面提出了幾點建議。 1．A　細節(jié)理解題。通讀全文我們可以看出，作者在本文中給讀者提出了一些建議，告訴讀者在德里旅行時應(yīng)注意的幾個問題。因此，本文的寫作目的是要給讀者提出建議。 2．C　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的最后一句我們可以知道，在機場搭乘出租車時，應(yīng)到警察經(jīng)營的攤位。 3．B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段的最后一句我們可以知道，為了上車后能有一個座位，作者建議最好從起點站上車。這就意味著如果中途上車的話，就很難有座位了。 4．D　推理判斷題。由本文第一段的最后一句可知，本文主要介紹關(guān)于德里交通方面避免受騙的幾個

33、建議。因此，在所給的幾個選項當中，只有D項與交通有關(guān)。據(jù)此，我們可以確定后面接著討論的最有可能是汽車租賃業(yè)務(wù)。 (二) 【要點綜述】本文是一篇調(diào)查報告，講述了生活方式對健康的重要性。 1．A　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段“When people eat more healthfully，exercise，quit smoking，and manage stress better…”可知答案。 2．C　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)前文信息“YOUR FACE receives more blood flow…”可知，glow 在文中的意思為“臉色紅潤”。故選擇C項。 3．D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)

34、第二段第一句話以及后面的調(diào)查結(jié)果可知，母親們對壓力的態(tài)度對成功應(yīng)付壓力起著重要的作用。故D項正確。 4．B　主旨大意題。綜合文章第二至五段可以看出，當心情好時，新的神經(jīng)細胞不斷生長、動脈變寬、基因改變、染色體端粒變長，因此人的壽命也會相應(yīng)地變長，所以選擇B，其他選項都是片面的。 (三) 【要點綜述】本文是一篇調(diào)查結(jié)果，講述了網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物者更喜歡接受價格這一現(xiàn)象。 1．C　細節(jié)理解題。從第一段中“Online shoppers would rather receive an offer for a product or service than make their own offers…”可知，網(wǎng)上購物的人并不像預(yù)料的那樣討價還價。故選C項。 2．B　推理判斷題。從文章可知，銷售商給出價格可以幫助促進網(wǎng)絡(luò)銷售。故選B項。 3．A　詞義猜測題。從并列的形容詞regretful可知，選項是與regretful內(nèi)涵范圍一致的詞。taxed負荷的，有負擔的。 4．C　主旨大意題。從第一段中“Online shoppers would rather receive an offer for a product or service than make their own offers…”可知，這篇文章講的是網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物者更喜歡接受價格。故選C項。
