阅读理解 A ‎(2018·黄岗检测)About six months ago, I was working in a job where I sat at a computer in an office for 50 hours or so each week. My best friend, Dusty，also sat in an office at a computer all day. We often talked about what a waste it seemed to be, spending our time inside in front of a computer all day long. I ended up leaving my job, and so did Dusty. Neither one of us are sitting in an office all day. Last week, Dusty came to my home and declared，“I’m going to travel.” ‎ Of course, traveling is exciting. It’s getting to experience new things, getting to be a slightly different version of ourselves, but I think the point is more about the mindset(心态) that it allows for than the actual reality that comes with it. Waking up every day with a sense of excitement for the unknown. Approaching each interaction during the day with a sense of wonder. Not thinking about yesterday or tomorrow, and just about whatever’s right in front of you.‎ However, the thing is, we don’t need to be in__transit to be able to approach our days this way. It is possible for me to be living my normal life and be excited for the unknown of the day. I meet new people and do new things every day. Yes, they might be in Santa Monica, a few blocks from my apartment, but what’s the difference between a new person here and a new person in Australia?‎ I read an Alan Watts quote recently, and it goes as follows：‎ ‎“If I ask you what you did, saw, heard, smelled, touched and tasted yesterday, I am likely to get nothing more than the thin, sketchy outline of the few things that you noticed, and of those only what you thought worth remembering... But suppose you could answer，‘It would take me forever to tell you, and I am much too interested in what’s happening now.’”‎ Our generation seems to be eager to expand our horizons(视野). But I agree with Alan Watts. There is a lot of opportunity for horizonexpansion wherever we happen to be. I think I’ll wake up tomorrow, walk down the street, and put on my adventurer’s cap.‎ ‎【解题导语】　旅行之所以吸引人是因为它可以让人们探索未知，但是并不一定非要去旅行才可以达到这个目的。正如阿兰·沃茨建议的，我们应该关注当下，因为我们看似平淡的日常生活同样可以很精彩。‎ ‎1．According to the text, the author quit his job mainly because ________．‎ A．it didn’t pay very well B．Dusty advised him to do so C．he wanted to spend some time traveling D．he didn’t want to stay inside all day long D　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的．..what a waste it seemed to be, spending our time inside in front of a computer all day long. I ended up leaving my job... in an office all day.可知，作者和朋友都不喜欢每天待在室内，坐在电脑前，所以他们辞掉了工作。故选D项。‎ ‎2．The underlined words “in transit” in the third paragraph probably mean “________”．‎ A．moving around　　　　　 B．working hard C．filled with curiosity D．full of enthusiasm A　解析：词义猜测题。第二段内容讲述旅游的魅力所在，第三段首句使用单词 However(然而)表转折，表明本段表述的内容与第二段内容不同，即我们不需要到处逛，也可以使我们的生活一样精彩，moving around 意为“走来走去”符合句意，故选A项。‎ ‎3．What’s the best title for the text?‎ A．An Exciting but Normal Life B．Adventures in Our Own Backyard C．Go to Travel and Expand Your Horizon D．Get Outside and Explore for the Unknown B　解析：标题归纳题。文章第三段表明了作者的观点，我们不一定非要去旅行才能探索未知，发现新的自我，下文引用了阿兰·沃茨的话，表明我们应该活在当下，因为我们看似平淡的日常生活同样可以很精彩。故选 B 项。‎ B ‎(2018·广西重点高中模拟)People love cellphones, which is why nine in ten Americans own one.But does heavy use of cellphones pose a risk of cancer? This question has caused controversy for many years. A new study in rats now augments those concerns.Its data linked longterm, intense exposure to radiation from cellphones with an increased risk of cancer in the heart or brain.The results have yet to be confirmed, the authors note.‎ Indeed, although the rat study found a link between cellphone radiation and cancer, it offers no clues to why such a link might exist, notes Jonathan Samet.He teaches preventative medicine and directs the Institute for Global Health at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.Still, he calls the new study’s findings “significant”．They could lead to studies researching how cellphone radiation might cause cancer, he says.‎ Phone signals are relayed between cell towers and cellphones via radio waves.This radio frequency—or RF—radiation is a type known as nonionizing(非电离的). Unlike Xrays, nonionizing radiation does not deposit enough energy into cells to release electrons from atoms or molecules, producing ions.So it tends to be far less harmful than ionizing radiation, such as X‎ rays.But that does not mean radio waves might not cause harm.‎ In very large doses(量) this radiation will heat the body and cause tissue damage.But it’s not yet known what much lower RF levels might do, such as those from cellphone use.Five years ago, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer, or IARC, concluded that cellphone use “is possibly careinogenic(致癌的)”．‎ Its conclusion was based on what little research data was available at that time.But notice that IARC was not certain.It said only that phone use might “possibly” cause cancer.So scientists at the National Toxicology Program, or NTP, investigated further.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。人们喜欢用手机，90%的美国人都有手机。那么，过度使用手机是否会有患癌的风险呢？一项新的研究给出了一些线索。‎ ‎4．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “augments”？‎ A．figures out B．puts out C．refers to D．adds to D　解析：词义猜测题。画线词前面提到过度使用手机是否有患癌的风险这一问题多年来引发的争议不断，再根据画线词后的“concerns”和“Its data linked longterm, intense exposure to radiation from cellphones with an increased risk of cancer in the heart or brain.”可知，现在一项在老鼠身上进行的新研究增加了那些忧虑。故画线词与adds to意义相近。‎ ‎5．In which aspect does Jonathan Samet think the new study in rats is significant?‎ A．It assists him with his teaching.‎ B．It indicates a new research direction.‎ C．It warns people to mind cellphone safety.‎ D．It makes a breakthrough in cancer research.‎ B　解析：推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可知，这项研究会促使科学家去查明手机辐射可能是怎样致癌的，也就是说它为科学家提供了一个新的研究方向。‎ ‎6．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?‎ A．How phone signals are delivered.‎ B．How cellphones produce radiation.‎ C．Features of radiation from cellphones.‎ D．Differences between ionizing and nonionizing radiation.‎ C　解析：段落大意题。根据第三段的“nonionizing radiation does not deposit enough energy into cells to release electrons from atoms or molecules, producing ions.So it tends to be far less harmful than ionizing radiation...”可知，本段主要讲的是手机辐射的特点，它是非电离的，其危害性远低于电离辐射。‎ ‎7．What might be the theme of NTP scientists’ further research?‎ A．Why cellphone use causes cancer.‎ B．Whether cellphone use really causes cancer.‎ C．What health effects cellphone use has.‎ D．How much exposure to cellphone radiation is safe.‎ B　解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It said only that phone use might ‘possibly’ cause cancer.So scientists at the National Toxicology Program, or NTP, investigated further.”可知，NTP的科学家进一步研究的主题可能是手机使用是否真的会导致癌症。‎ 完形填空 ‎(2018·辽宁五校协作体高三联合模拟)Falling off a boxcar and landing on my head，I lost my sight when I was four years old.
