2017年山西考英语阅读理解练习及答案（3）

　　阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。

　　Smartphones, poor sight

　　Look around and you’ll see people busy on their smartphones. Smartphones do make our lives easier . But have you ever thought about what they mean to your eyes?

According to a study, half of British people own smartphone s and they spend an average (平均) of two hours a day using them. There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the UK who suffer from shortsightedness(近视)since smartphones were introduced there in 1997. Staring(盯)at smartphones for long time gives you dry eyes. When looking at something in the distance, your eyes automatically blink(自动眨眼)a certain number of times. However, when you look at things closer to your face, the blinki ng slows down. This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort in your eyes. Another bad habit is using smartphones in dark rooms before going to sleep. If you look at a bright screen while your pupils(瞳孔)become larger, too much light enters your eyes. This can do harm to the eyes and cause a disease called glaucoma(青光眼).

　　While you’re probably not going to stop using to your smartphone, there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes. Hold your phone at least 30 centimetres away from your eyes when using it. Take a break every hour and try the following: look at something at least five meters from you and then focus on the tip of your nose. Repeat this several times. It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes.

　　A. most of the British people began to use smartphones 19 years ago

　　B. each of the British people spends two hours a day on smartphones

　　阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。

　　I had hidden the long black bag in the garage(车库) for the past two days. Tonight, in the dark, I would finally take it away. If everything went OK, it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me.

　　It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.

　　First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10:30 pm was not early. As usual, I read them a bed-time story, but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.

　　Silence finally came, and feeling like a thief in the night, I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end, I dragged the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbors might hear me and call the police.

It was already eleven o'clock. By the light of the moon I started w orking, trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw (锯子) and a hammer(铁锤). After much effort, my work was finally completed. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4:00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn't be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas had brought them this year.

　　51. How was the man feeling at the beginning?

　　A. Nervous. B. Tired. C. Peaceful. D. Sleepy.

　　A. 忘记 B. 学习 C. 知道 D. 书房

　　A. e-d-a-b-c B. e-a-d-c-b C. a-b-e-d-c D. a-e-d-c-b

　　中考阅读理解

　　D

Decisions, decisions! Our lives are full of them, from th e small ones to the life-changing. The right to choose is central to everyone. Yet sometimes we make bad decisions that leave us unhappy or full of regret. Can science help? Most of us know little about the m ental processes(心理历程)that lie behind our decisions. Luckily, what psychologists are finding may help us all make better choices. Here are some of their amazing discoveries to help you make up your mind. Consider your emotions. You might think that emotions are the enemy of decision-making, but in fact they are a part of it. Whenever you make up your mind, your brain’s emotional centre is active. University of Southern California scientist, Antonio Damasia, has studied people with damage to only the emotional parts of their brains, and found that they were unable to make basic choices about what to wear or eat. Damasia thinks this may be because our brains store emotional memories of past choice, which we use to help the present decision-making.

　　However, making choices under the influence of an emotion can greatly affect the result. Take anger for example. A study by Nitika Garg of the University of Mississippi and other scientists found the angry shoppers were more likely to choose the first thing they were offered rather than considering other choices. It seems that anger can lead us to make quick decisions without much thinking.

　　All emotions affect our thinking and motivation(动机)，so it may be best to avoid making important decisions under their influence. Yet strangely there is one emotion that seems to help us make good choices. The American researchers found that sad people took time to consider the various choices on offer, and ended up making the best choices. In fact many studies show that people who feel unhappy have the most reasonable view of the world.

　　52. What does the underlined word “central” mean?

　　A. in the middle B. easy to reach

　　C. important D. having power

　　53. Damasia’s study suggests that ________.[来源:学.科.网][来源:学&科&网]

　　A. emotions are the enemy of decision-making.

　　B. our brain has nothing to do with decision-making.

　　C. people with physical damage find it hard to make up their minds.

　　D.our emotional memories of past choices can affect present decisions.

　　54. Why are angry shoppers more likely to choose the first thing they are offered?

　　A. They often forget their past choices. B. They make decisions without much thinking.

　　C. They tend to save time when shopping. D. They are too angry to bargain.

　　55. What do we learn from the text?

　　A. Emotions are a part of decision-making. B. Sad people always make worse choices.

　　C. No emotion seems to help us make good choices.

　　D. Only sad feelings affect our thinking and motivation.
