专题强化训练(二十五)‎ Ⅰ.阅读理解 A ‎(2019·遂宁市期末考试)Emmoni Lopez used to take dance lessons while her older brothers wrestled—but it turned out that she liked wrestling better.‎ Her mom wasn't surprised when Lopez told her she liked wrestling more than dance, and three years after Lopez took up the sport, she enjoys watching her daughter wrestle. Still, when a coach first asked Lopez to join his program, her mom hesitated—she never thought her daughter would want to be a wrestler.‎ Lopez is among a growing number of girls who are taking up wrestling. Officials with youth organizations in Chicago and the Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation(IKWF) said they've seen the number of girls participating in the sport take off in recent years.‎ In Lopez's program, about half of the students participating in the organization's free youth wrestling camp this summer are girls, coach Frankie Zepeda said.‎ Many of the girls Zepeda sees become interested in wrestling through their brothers, he said.‎ ‎“They probably just learn to... fight back，”he said.‎ One of those was Yamilet Aguirre. She took up wrestling because she was bored just watching her brother wrestle, she said.‎ ‎“I can have fun doing it，”she said. “And I can prove girls are just as strong as boys are.”‎ Though girls have competed on high school wrestling teams in Illinois for years, coaches and female wrestlers said there weren't many participating a decade ago.‎ ‎“It's really picked up over the last few years，”said Jim Considine, president of the IKWF.‎ Between the 2015—2016 and 2017—2018 seasons, the number of ‎ girls registered with IKWF grew from 363 to 503, and more of the organization's events are featuring a girls only division. Girls and boys wrestle together during the season through IKWF, but there's a girls — only championship at the end of the year.‎ And by adding female wrestling programs, colleges are giving girls and young women another option.‎ ‎“Female wrestling isn't something unacceptable anymore，”Considine said. “Things have happened so quickly. Ten years ago, you'd never have dreamed of doing this.”‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。摔跤以前是男子项目，现在增加女子摔跤项目，大学为女孩和年轻女性提供了另一种选择。女性摔跤不再是不可接受的事情了。‎ ‎1．What has helped her take up wrestling, in Yamilet Aguirre's case?‎ A．Her wish to be stronger than boys.‎ B．Her awareness to protect girls.‎ C．Her parents' expectations.‎ D．The experience of watching wrestling competitions.‎ ‎[解析]　推理判断题。根据第八段中“And I can prove girls are just as strong as boys are.”可知，在Yamilet Aguirre的案例中，是“她希望比男孩子强壮”帮助她学会了摔跤。故答案为A。‎ ‎[答案]　A ‎2．The underlined word “option”is closest in meaning to ________.‎ A．challenge B．chance C．choice D．change ‎[解析]　词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段And by adding female wrestling programs, colleges are giving girls and young women another option.“增加女子摔跤项目，大学为女孩和年轻女性提供了另一种选择。”和最后一段中“Female wrestling isn't something unacceptable anymore，”Considine said.康思丁说：“女性摔跤不再是不可接受的事情了。”由此推知，画线词的意思是“选择”。故答案为C。‎ ‎[答案]　C ‎3．What can we learn about female wrestling in the US from the article?‎ A．Its popularity in college is declining.‎ B．It's still unacceptable in many people's eyes.‎ C．It has been accepted by colleges.‎ D．College girls like it less than dancing.‎ ‎[解析]　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段And by adding female wrestling programs, colleges are giving girls and young women another option.“增加女子摔跤项目，大学为女孩和年轻女性提供了另一种选择。”和最后一段中“Female wrestling isn't something unacceptable anymore，”Considine said.康思丁说：“女性摔跤不再是不可接受的事情了。”可知，从这篇文章中我们可以了解到美国女性摔跤已经被大学接受了。故选C。‎ ‎[答案]　C ‎4．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?‎ A．A Female Sport Event B．Not Just for Boys C．The Great Sports Personality D．Make Way for Male Wrestlers ‎[解析]　主旨大意题。根据最后两段And by adding female ‎ wrestling programs, colleges are giving girls and young women another option.“增加女子摔跤项目，大学为女孩和年轻女性提供了另一种选择。”和“Female wrestling isn't something unacceptable anymore，”Considine said. “Things have happened so quickly. Ten years ago, you'd never have dreamed of doing this.”康思丁说：“女性摔跤不再是不可接受的事情了。事情发生得太快了。十年前，你做梦也想不到会这样做。”由此推知，文章最佳主题是“不仅仅是男孩”。故选B。‎ ‎[答案]　B B ‎(2019·成都外国语学校入学考试)‎ Preparing Cities for Robot Cars The possibility of selfdriving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist's dream, years away from materializing in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly selfdriving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out selfdriving cars, and for companies to operate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isn't leading the way here. Companies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. It's hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated.‎ While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars(and rightfully so), policymakers also should be talking about how selfdriving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions(排放) and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared.‎ Do we want to copy — or even worsen — the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most adults own individual selfdriving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the selfdriving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport — an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ridehailing(叫车) services.‎ A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that ‎ replacing petrolpowered private cars worldwide with electric, selfdriving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure(基础设施) and operations 40% by 2050. Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing. The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ridehailing services, considering the cost of selfdriving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues(责任与维护问题). But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology.‎ Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles doesn't extend the worst aspects of the carcontrolled transportation system we have today. The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.‎ 语篇解读：本文为议论文。文章主要讨论有关无人驾驶汽车的发展前景和面临的问题。‎ ‎5．According to the author, attention should be paid to how driverless cars can ____________.‎ A．help deal with transportationrelated problems B．provide better services to customers C．cause damage to our environment D．make some people lose jobs ‎[解析]　推理判断题。根据第二段While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars(and rightfully so), policymakers also should be talking about how selfdriving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions(排放) and offer more convenient, affordable mobility ‎ options.可知，政策制定者应该讨论无人驾驶车怎么帮助削减交通阻塞，减少尾气排放，提供更方便、更便宜的出行选择，由此可见人们应该多关注无人驾驶车怎么帮助处理与交通有关的问题。故选A。‎ ‎[答案]　A ‎6．As for driverless cars, what is the author's major concern?‎ A．Safety. B．Side effects.‎ C．Affordability. D．Management.‎ ‎[解析]　推理判断题。根据文章第一段But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated.可知，不管花多长时间，这项技术都有可能改变我们的交通系统和我们的城市，不管是好是坏，这取决于这种转变如何被规范，再根据文章最后一段The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.可知，我们需要为其做好计划，故作者的主要关注点是对这种转变的管理规范，故选D。‎ ‎[答案]　D ‎7．What does the underlined word “fielded” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?‎ A．Employed. B．Replaced.‎ C．Shared. D．Reduced.‎ ‎[解析]　词义猜测题。根据第四段The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ridehailing services, considering the cost of selfdriving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues(责任与维护问题)．可知，鉴于自主驾驶的费用以及责任和维护问题，无人驾驶车几乎可以肯定将会被打车服务使用。故画线词是“被应用”的意思。A.Employed被应用；B.Replaced被取代；C.Shared被分享；D.Reduced被减少。故选A。‎ ‎[答案]　A ‎8．What is the author's attitude to the future of selfdriving cars?‎ A．Doubtful. B．Positive.‎ C．Disapproving. D．Sympathetic.‎ ‎[解析]　观点态度题。根据文章最后一段The coming ‎ technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.中的 advancement，move more people, and more affordably.以及plan for it可推知，作者的态度是积极的。故选B。‎ ‎[答案]　B Ⅱ.七选五阅读填空 ‎(2019·陵川第一中学月考)‎ How to improve vocabulary fast Your vocabulary refers to the words in a language you are familiar with.
