2017高考英語試題及答案第一部分：閱讀理解(共兩節，滿分40分)

　　A

　　Nowadays the cost of a new car has fallen in real terms so that it is cheaper than ever to own one, and better road conditions have also attracted more drivers. The result is overcrowding on the road system, which is one of the problems the local governments are faced with.

　　When people travel to other towns, the problem might be relieved by getting them to park outside the town. Buses could be provided to take them into the centre. These Park and Ride projects are increasingly popular in the UK. At Souderton, for example, a council-funded project led to a 15% drop in city centre traffic over five months.

　　What the council found, though, was that the project proved somewhat unpopular with shop owners in the area outside the centre. Many of their shops rel ied on passing car drivers for some of their trade. As the number of people driving past dropped, so did their incomes.

　　Making car driving expensive is another way of encouraging people to use public transport more. Road taxes tend to mean that people use their cars less. Fining drivers who are in areas where cars have been banned can also tend to encourage them to leave their cars behind.

　　However, one thing has to be got right for any solution to succeed. If we expect people to give up the habit of driving, we must give them an alternative they can rely on. Constant delays, unannounced changes to the timetable and sudden cancellations all discourage people from using public transport. People will only see it as a real choice if the buses and trains are on time.

　　1. What should people do when traveling to other towns according to the Park and Ride projects?

　　A.They should park in the park, and take a taxi to the centre.

　　B.They should take the bus to other towns instead of driving.

　　C.They should park outside the town, and take the bus to the centre.

　　D.If they don’t use public transport, they’ll be fined.

　　2. Wh at are some shop owners’ attitude to the project?

　　A.supportive B.objective

　　C.opposed D.subjective

　　3. Why are people unwilling to use public transport according to Paragraph 5?

　　A.Because buses constantly delay and even sudden cancellations.

　　B.Because the timetable changes without announcement.

　　C.Because they want to show off their cars and driving skills.

　　D.Because public transport can not satisfy the passengers.

　　4. How many ways are mentioned to solve the overcrowding?

　　A.Two B.Three C.Four D.Five

　　B

　　When I was 11, I threw a glance into Dad’s lunch box and made the unexpected discovery that my mother still showed her love towards my father. The evidence, a napkin resting on top of the sandwiches packed in wax paper, was certain “Love you!” she had written on the napkin. “ Meat loaf for supper!”

　　Mom penned all kinds of messages to Dad on those paper napkins, and he saved a whole pile of them. What embarrassed me as a kid has beco me a precious memory of my parents.

　　It also started my own brand of lunch box notes. When my kids were young, I’d glue little drawings on their lunches. Lots of sketches(素描) of our dog, Max, along with smiling flowers. When they were teenagers, I’d copy words of wisdom from great people, Einstein, for example, or Bruce Springsteen. Then, my kids grew up making their own handwritten notes. And my husband writes me love notes on recycled paper, because he’s all about being green.

　　Friends who know about my lunch box notes eagerly share stories of their own family traditions. So many focus on food. Maura’s mom always drew hearts on the shells of hard-boiled eggs. Melinda wrote messages on her kids’ bananas.

　　We’re into the third generation of lunch box notes in o ur home. Whenever my 3-year-old grandson, Clayton, spends the night, he knows his lunch is going to have a napkin note from Grandma in the morning. Last week, I drew a picture of me, waving widely and shouting his name. He took one look at it and screamed, “ Where’s Grandpa?” I added a man in a clean shirt. “ You forgot his tie,” he said. I quickly drew a line of stripes(條紋) down the front of the shirt. Clayton smiled. “Grandpa,” he whispered, running his fingers across the napkin. “It’s you!”

　　5. When the author first saw Dad’s lunch box notes, she felt ______.

　　A.moved B.awkward

　　C.proud D.nervous

　　6. What did the author put in the lunch boxes when her kids were in their teens?

　　A.Words of love. B.Pictures of flowers.

　　C.Drawings of their favorite animals. D.Famous words of wisdom

　　7. It can b e inferred that ________.

　　A.the author’s grandson likes drawing pictures on napkins.

　　B.the author’s children dislike making lunch box notes.

　　C.the author’s husband is an environmentalist.

　　D.the author’s friends all had their brand of lunch box notes .

　　8. What’s the best title for the text?

　　Nancy Tillman’s wonderful On the Night You Were Born is one of my very favorite books. Its celebration of the uniqueness of each and every child told in lyrical language makes it the gift I choose most often for expectant or adoptive parents. I also read it regularly with my grandchildren and talk with them about how special they are.

　　Tillman feels that the most important message for children to receive is simply, “You are loved.” And it’s that message that is the focus of this, her newest book, Wherever You Are: My Love Will Find You. Once again, it is her turn of phrase that most fascinates me: In the green of the grass ... in the smell of the sea ... in the clouds floating by ... at the top of a tree ... in the sound crickets make at the end of the day ... “You are loved. You are loved. You are loved,” they all say. Phrases encourage children to grow, to try new things, to “march to the front” of their “own parade” and assures them that, no matter how far they go or what they do, they will be loved.

　　Though the words alone would convince me to buy, share and recommend this book, Tillman is also a gifted artist and her lovely work makes this book a visual treasure as well. Through the pages, a child rides hippos, splashes in the surf with elephants, plays hide and seek with rabbits, shares a trampoline(蹦床) with a kangaroo and enjoys some quiet time with a pair of pandas. My favorite drawing has the child walking away along a wide path that runs between trees covered in mist. In all of the drawings, swirls of sparkling lights wrap around the child--the love that will always be with him/her.

　　I’ve read On the Night You Were Born dozens of times and with every single reading, I am incredibly touched. Wherever You Are: My Love Will Find You creates the same feeling of wonder, peace and happiness in me. It’s a keep-forever book and I’m so happy to have it in my collection to share with the children I love most.

　　9. The purpose of this passage is to __________.

　　A.encourage people to buy Nancy Tillman’s books for their children

　　B.recommend Tillman’s new book--Wherever You Are: My Love Will Find You

　　C.advocate the theme of love among family members

　　D.Let children know they are loved and educate them to love others

　　10. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

　　A.Nancy Tillman’s book On the Night You Were Born encourages children to try new things.

　　B.The most important focus of Tillman’s books is for children to know they are loved.

　　C.The writer considers Tillman a gifted artist for her vivid use of words and rich imagination.

　　D.The writer has bought and read both of Tillman’s books mentioned in this passage.

　　11. Pick out the true statements according to the passage.

　　A.The words alone makes Tillman’s boo ks the writer’s favorite.

　　B.Wherever You Are: My Love Will Find You is published earlier than On the Night You Were Born.

　　C.My favorite drawing shows the feeling of wonder with the child swirling in sparkling lights.

　　D.The drawings in Wherever You Are convey love with pictures involving animals.

　　D

　　A new University of Graz study concludes that vegetarians(素食者) are more often ill and have a lower quality of living than meat-eaters. According to the German press release, vegetarians “have cancer and heart attacks more often”. The release also says that they show more psychological disorders than meat eaters. Consequently, the report writes, they are a greater burden on the health care system.

　　According to the press release the scientists evaluated data from the Austrian Health Interview Survey (AT-HIS), which is also part of an important and valuable EU survey (European Health Interview Survey).

　　The scientists examined a total of 1320 persons who were divided up into 4 groups . All groups were comparable with respect to gender, age, and so cio-economic status. The study also accounted for smoking and physical activity. Also the BMI was within the normal range for all four groups. The only thing that really was different among the four groups was the diet. The four groups were: vegetarians, meat-eaters with lots of fruit and veggies, little meat-eaters and big meat-eaters.

　　The press release states that the results contradict the common cliché that meat-free diets are healthier. Vegetarians have twice as many allergies as big meat-eaters, and they showed 166% higher cancer rates . Moreover, the scientists found that vegans had a 150% higher rate of heart attacks. In total the scientists looked at 18 different chronic illnesses. Compared to the big meat-eaters, vegetarians were hit harder in 14 of the 18 illnesses.

　　In the analysis, the University of Graz found that vegetarians were also twice as likely to suffer for anxiety or depressions than big meat-eaters. That result was confirmed by the University of Hildesheim, which found that vegetarians suffered significantly more from depressions, anxiety, psychosomatic complaints and eating disorders. The University of Graz scientists also found that vegetarians are impacted more by illnesses and visit the doctor more frequently.

　　Big meat-eaters were also found to have a “significantly better quality of life in all categories”, the study found. The four categories examined were: physical and psychological health, social relationships and environment-related life quality.

　　12. What was the difference between the four groups in the experiment?

　　A.Gender, age and socio-economic status.

　　B.Smoking and physical activity.

　　C.Diet.

　　D.BMI.

　　13. What does the underlined phrase “the common cliché” refer to?

　　A.Vegetarians have twice as many allergies as big meat-eaters.

　　B.Vegetarians were hit harder in 14 of the 18 illnesses.

　　C.Vegans had a higher rate of heart disease.

　　D.Meat-free diets are healthier.

　　14. It can be inferred from the passage that a man who eats more meat tends to _______.

　　A.show a higher cancer rate.

　　B.have a higher rate of psychological disorders.

　　C.have a better relationship with others.

　　D.suffer more from anxiety or depression.

　　15. What would be the best title for the passage?

　　A.Are Vegetarians Healthier

　　B.A Better Quality of Life Is Important

　　C.Take Care of the Health Care System

　　D.Are You Impacted More by Illnesses

　　What will you do if you can’t eat everything bought in the canteen? 16 According to a survey, what students waste every year could feed over 10 million people.

　　17 . According to Xinhua News Agency, the food wasted by Chinese people is about 50 million tons of grain every year, which could feed 200 million people.

　　Food waste, which has become a global issue, serves as a mirror that reflects various cultural and social issues in different countries. In the West, for instance, consumerism, the belief that it’s a good thing to use a lot of goods and services, is often to blame for food waste. 18 . Chinese people are well known for being hospitable and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food. On campus, a generation of single children is less aware of the food waste issue. Students nowadays are well protected by their families and hardly have any concept of how much toil (辛勞) others go through in order to provide them with the food they eat.

　　19 . There are over 925 million hungry people in the world, most of whom live in underdeveloped countries and areas. They don’t have enough food to eat. Many children die for lack of nutrition each year in some African countries. And farmers work very hard to grow the crops. 20 . It’s also important that everyone should think about how they can do their bit to reduce food waste.

　　A.Students’ waste is extremely serious.

　　B.Most of us would simply throw away any leftover food.

　　C.Students can never realize the serious food crisis.

　　D.So there’s no excuse that we should waste our food.

　　E. But canteen waste is merely the tip of the iceberg.

　　F. Compared with them, some live in a different world.

　　G. China, in turn, features its own eating cult ure.
