　　2017高考考前英語模擬試題第二部分：閱讀理解(每題2分，滿分40分)

　　閱讀下面短文，從各題A、B、C、D 四個選項中選出最佳答案。

　　A

　　I had an experience once which taught me something about the ways people made a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I officiated(主持) at two funerals for two elderly women. Both died a natural death. At the first home, the son of the deceased(已故) woman said, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son said, “If only I had not insisted her going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride was more than she could take. It is my fault.”

　　When things don’t turn out as we would like them to, we tend to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course, for example, keeping mother at home, would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?

　　There seem to be elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty. The first lies in our belief that the world makes sense——there is a reason for everything that happens.

　　The second is the thought that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and calls the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely abandon that childish thought that our wishes cause things to happen.

　　36. What is true about the two deceased elderly women?

　　A. They died from accidents.

　　B. They both died of old age.

　　C. They died due to lack of care by family members.

　　D. They weren’t accustomed to the change in life.

　　37. People feel guilty for the death of their loved ones because______.

　　A. they cannot find a better way to express their sorrow

　　B. they don’t know that natural course of events

　　C. they believe that it is their fault

　　D. they don’t know things often turn out in the opposite direction

　　B

　　The cash machine is 47 years old, but where was the birthplace of this world-beating invention? New York? Tokyo? No. The first ever cash machine was born in Enfield Town, north London. It was a Scottish inventor, John shepherd Barron, who realized the concept of a self-service machine that could be used 24 hours a day, seven days a w eek, to withdraw cash from one’s own bank account. It struck the inventor while he was in the bath. He hit upon the idea of a chocolate bar dispenser, replacing chocolate with cash.

　　On September 2 in 1969, America’s first automatic teller machine (ATM) appeared in public, giving out cash to customers at Chemical Bank, New York. It was only able to give out cash, but in 1971, an ATM that could handle many functions, including depositing(存款) money, was introduced. Today there are over one million ATMs around the world, with a new one added every five minutes. It is reported that Americans over the age of 18 use their ATM card six to eight times a mouth. Not surprisingly, ATMs get their busiest workouts on Fridays. In the 1990s, banks began charging fees to use ATMs, a profitable move for them and an annoying one for consumers.

　　Consumers were also faced with an increase in ATM crimes. Robbers preyed(搶奪) on people using money machines in poorly lit or otherwise unsafe locations, and criminals also thought up ways to steal customers’ PINs (personal identification numbers), even setting up fake money machines to capture the information. In response, city and state governments passed laws such as New York’s ATM Safety Act in 1996, which required banks to install such things as surveillance cameras (監控攝像頭), reflective mirrors and locked entryways for their ATMs.

　　40. What does the underlined word, “It”, in the first paragraph, probably refer to?

　　A. The opening time of the bank.

　　B. The concept of an ATM.

　　C. Ordinary banking service.

　　D. The act of withdrawing cash.

　　41. Which of the following is true about ATM?

　　A. It appeared earlier than the chocolate bar dispenser.

　　B. It was invented by a Scottish man in 1971.

　　C. It was at first free of charge for its consumers.

　　D. It was originally designed to deposit money.

　　C

　　Scientists have long puzzled over how iguanas, a group of lizards(蜥蜴) mostly found in the Americas, came to live in the isolated Pacific islands of Fiji and Tonga. Some scientists used to suppose that they must have traveled there on a raft, a journey of around 5,000 miles from South America to the islands. There are documented cases of iguanas reaching remote Caribbean islands and the Galapagos Islands on floating logs. But new research in January by Brice Noonan and Jack Sites suggested that iguanas may have simply walked to Fiji and Tonga when the islands were still a part of an ancient southern supercontinent.

　　The ancient supercontinent was made up of present-day Africa, Australia, Antarctica and parts of Asia. If that’s the case, the island species would need to be very old. Using “molecular (分子) clock” analysis of living iguanas’ DNA, Noonan and Sites found that, sure enough, the lineage of iguanas has been around for more than 60 million years—easily old enough to have been in the area when the islands were still connected by land bridges to Asia or Australia.

　　Fossils (化石) uncovered in Mongolia suggest that iguanid ancestors did once live in Asia. Though there’s currently no fossil evidence of iguanas in Australia, that doesn’t necessarily mean they were never there. “The fossil record of this continent is surprisingly poor and cannot be taken as evidence of true absence,” the authors write.

　　So if the iguanas simply walked to Fiji and Tonga from Asia or possibly Australia, why are they not also found on the rest of the Pacific islands? Noonan and Sites say fossil evidence suggests that iguana spe cies did once inhabit other islands, but went extinct right around the time when humans settled in those islands. But Fiji and Tonga have a much shorter history of human presence, which may have helped the iguanas living there to escape extinction.

　　The researchers say that their study can’t completely rule out the rafting theory, but it does make the land bridge theory “far more reasonable tha n previously thought.”

　　48. What did some scientists previously believe about the iguanas?

　　A. They were once discovered in America.

　　B. They traveled by raft to Fiji and Tonga.

　　C. They could survive in poor living conditions.

　　D. They moved to Fiji and Tonga from Australia.

　　49. According to Noonan and Sites, 60 million years ago ____.

　　A. the land of the world was a supercontinent

　　B. Fiji and Tonga were connected to Asia or Australia

　　C. Africa, Australia and America were a continent

　　D. iguanas walked to Fiji and Tonga from Africa

　　50. The underl ine word “lineage” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ____.

　　A. conditions in which creatures can survive

　　B. the change in ancient plants and animals.

　　C. the line of generations of an ancestor

　　D. the habitat of a type of an ancient animal

　　51. What is the main topic of this passage?

　　A. The life span of animals living on the ancient supercontinent.

　　B. The two islands being home to several iguana species in the Pacific region.

　　C. The fossil evidence suggesting iguanas’ ancestors’ swimming to Fiji and Tonga

　　D. By raft or by land — how did iguanas reach the tiny Pacific islands?

　　How to apologize properly is much more difficult than we think. Provided you want to teach your children to apologize, you must be good at saying sorry yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky.

　　If you say to your chil dren “I’m sorry I got angry with you, but …” what follows that “but” can make the apology ineffective: “I had a bad day” or “your noise was giving me a headache ” leaves the person feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad be havior in expecting an apology.

　　Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say “I’m sorry you’re upset”; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.

　　Then there is the general, all covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. Saying “I’m useless as a parent” does not make any sense.

　　These false apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness. Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not voice these false apologies.

　　But even when presented with examples of really being sorry, children still need help to become aware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might n eed help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children’s expectations can require an apology. A 12-year-old might need to be shown that taking the bi scuit without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent’s clothes without permission is not.

　　52. If a mother adds “but” to an apology,________.

　　A. the child may feel that he owes her an apology

　　B. she knows that the child has been hurt

　　C. the child may find the apology easier to accept

　　D. she feels that she should have apologized

　　53. According to the author, saying “I’m sorry you’re upset” most probably means “_______”.

　　A. You have good reason to get upset

　　B. I apologize for hurting your feelings

　　C. I’m aware you’re upset , but I’m not to blame

　　D. I’m at fault for making you upset
