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 to ensure that turtles have a place to nest as the seas rise.
1. Why does the resort town stop promoting it’s turtle tourism?
A. It decides not to disturb the turtles’ normal life.
B. Tourists have lost interest in watching turtles.
C. There are only very few turtles now.
D. The turtle museum was destroyed by a high tide.

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．

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


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

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 demand more give-and-take from all road users．It is
high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
1．According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by .


A．road conditions B．the behavior of the drivers
C．the speed of modern life D．the large number of cars
2．In the writer’s opinion, .
A．unskillful drivers should be punished
B．strict traffic rules are badly needed
C．drivers should show road politeness properly
D. drivers should avoid traffic jams
3． The underlined word “give-and-take” in the passage means .


A．politeness and impoliteness
B．good manners and bad manners
C．willingness to give in to each other’s wishes
D．offering help to others as much as possible
4．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Traffic Problems B．Road Politeness
C．Bad Manners on the Road D．Good Drivers and Bad Drivers
