安徽五河县2017高考英语阅读理解九月选练
阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
PLAYA GRANDE, COSTA RICA? This resort town was long known for Leatherback Sea Turtle
(棱皮龟) national Park, nightly turtle beach tours and even a sea turtle museum.
However, on a beach where dozens of turtles used to nest on a given night, scientists
spied only 32 leatherbacks all of last year.
With leatherbacks threatened with extinction (灭绝), Playa Grande’s turtle museum
was abandoned three years ago and now sits among a sea of weeds. And the beachside
ticket office for turtle tours was washed away by a high tide in September. “We
do not promote that as a turtle tourism destination any more because we realize there
are far too few turtles to please,” said Alvaro Fonseca, a park ranger (管理员).
Even before scientists found temperatures going up over the past decade, sea turtles
were threatened by beach development, drift net fishing and Costa Ricans interest
in eating turtle eggs. But climate change may cause the most serious harm to an animal
that has lived in the Pacific for 150 million years.
Sea turtles are sensitive to numerous effects of warming. They feed on reefs, which
are dying in hotter seas. They lay eggs on beaches that are being covered by rising
seas and more violent waves.
More uniquely their gender (性别) is determined, not by genes but by the egg’s
temperature during development. Small rises in beach temperatures can result in
ail-female populations, obviously problematic for survival. If the sand around the
eggs hits 30 degrees Celsius, the gender balance shits to females: at about 32 degrees
they are all female. Above 34, you get boiled eggs.
On some nesting beaches, scientists are artificially cooling nests with shade or
irrigation and trying to protect broader areas of coastal property from development

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
I was parked in front of the mall wiping off my car．I had just come from the car
wash and was waiting for my wife to get out of work．
Coming my way from across the parking lot was what society would consider a bum．From
the looks of him, he had no car, no home, no clean clothes, and no money．There are
times when you feel generous but there are other times that you just don't want to
be bothered．This was one of those “don't want to be bothered times”．
“ I hope he doesn't ask me for any money,” I thought．
He didn't．He came and sat on the edge of the pavement in front of the bus stop but
he didn't
look like he could have enough money to even ride the bus．After a few minutes he
spoke．
“That's a very pretty car,” he said．
He was in rags but he had an air of dignity around him．His badly-grown blond beard
kept more than his face warm．
I said, “thanks,” and continued wiping off my car．He sat there quietly as I
worked．The expected plea（乞求） for money never came．As the silence between us
widened, something inside said, “ask him if he needs any help．” I was sure that
he would say “yes” but I held true to the inner voice．
“Do you need any help?” I asked．
He answered in three simple words that I shall never forget．We often look for wisdom
in great men and women．We expect it from those of higher learning and achievements．I
expected nothing but an outstretched dirty hand．He spoke the three words that shook
me．
“Don't we all?” he said．
1. Why did the writer parked his car before the mall?
A. Because he wanted to pick up his wife．
B. Because he wanted to show off his car．

3
C. Because he wanted to wipe off his car．
D. Because he wanted to do some shopping．
2. Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word
A. dustman B. driver C. beggar D. robber
3. Which is the best title for this text?
A. A good husband
C. Don't we all?

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed
of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible．Everybody knows that
the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel．It is all right to have
a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too．It takes the most
cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced
to face rude driving．On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards
reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting．A friendly nod or a wave of
thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will
and calm so necessary in modern traffic condition．But such behaviors of politeness
are by no means enough．Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize
politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous．Typical examples are the driver
who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming
cars that may be not able to stop in time．The same goes for encouraging old ladies
to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to．It always amazes me that the
highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies (奶奶).
An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers
learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give
rise to unpleasant feelings．Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to
drive．Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would

B. Didn't he need help?
D. One should be generous
