四川長寧縣2024高考英語閱讀理解專題練習

　　2024高考訓練題。閱讀理解閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。Smoking is the worst thing you can do for your health. Fortunately, it’s never too late to get the benefits of quitting. If you’ve tried to quit before and failed, it’s time to make up your mind and try again.

　　Smoking is responsible for one of every five deaths. That includes 29% of all cancer deaths, 87% of all lung cancer deaths, and nearly 20% of all deaths are from cardiovascular disease. But long before smoking kills you, it ages you. You can see that smoking accelerates the drying and wrinkling of the skin. But there are fewer obvious effects as well. Indeed, smoking takes years away from your life. Nearly half of all chronic smokers die an average of 20 to 25 years before their time.

　　Besides an early death from cancer or heart disease, smoking can cause lung disorders. People who smoke over a pack a day have almost three times the risk of contracting pneumonia (肺炎) than that of non-smokers. By lowering levels of estrogen (雌性激素) in men and women, smoking speeds bone less. If a woman smokes a pack of cigarettes every day, she will enter menopause (更年期) with 5% to 10% less bone mass than a non-smoker.

　　The good news is that no matter what your age is or how long you’ve smoked, you’ll live longer if you quit today. The Coronary Artery Surgery Study examined nearly 2,000 long-term smokers over the age of 54. Those who quit had significantly lower death rates six years later than those who didn’t. Even the oldest ex-smokers had a higher survival rate.

　　Not only will you live longer if you quit, but you’ll feel better, breathe easier, and find that you have more energy. You’ll have fewer respiratory infections, headaches, and stomachaches. What’s more, you’ll save money. Your clothes and breath won’t smell unpleasant any longer. And your habit won’t annoy, or threaten the health of the people who live and work with you.

　　[2024·新課標全國卷Ⅱ] 閱讀理解。閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項。

　　In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music，dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.

　　It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness, Richard Burton, Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras(交響樂團). It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400，000 people yearly.

　　At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform，and they did so in a public house disused for years.

　　Soon，groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge，Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little－known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.

　　Today the “Fringe”，once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1，500 performances of theatre，music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959，with only 19 theatre groups performing，some said it was getting too big.

　　A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1，695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.

　　40．What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?

　　A. To bring Europe together again.

　　B. To honor heroes of World War Ⅱ.

　　C. To introduce young theatre groups.

　　D. To attract great artists from Europe.

　　41. Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to

　　Edinburgh in 1947?

　　A. They owned a public house there.

　　B. They came to take up a challenge.

　　C. They thought they were also famous.

　　D. They wanted to take part in the festival.

　　42.Who joined the “Fringe” after it appeared?

　　A．Popular writers.

　　B. University students.

　　C．Artists from around the world.

　　D. Performers of music and dance.

　　43.We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival ________．

　　A. has become a non－official event

　　B. has gone beyond an art festival

　　C. gives shows all year round

　　D. keeps growing rapidly

　　【要點綜述】 本文主要介紹了Fringe的成長和發展的歷史過程。在英國，二戰剛結束以后，百廢待興。從戰爭和痛苦之中解脫出來的人們期待著一次藝術的盛會。第一屆愛丁堡藝術節從戰后的藝術家群體里邀請了所有知名的藝術家，可謂盛況空前。八支同樣具有好評的藝術團體自費來到英國，組成團體，在愛丁堡藝術節舉辦的同時自發地舉辦了他們自己的藝術節。

　　40．A　推理判斷題。根據第一段中的“The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.”可以推知，其目的是為了讓二戰后的歐洲再次團結起來。

　　41．D　細節理解題。第三段中的“…in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so…”說明他們的目的是參加這個節日。
