专题限时训练(三十六)社会生活型阅读理解(二)(限时：25分钟) (一)A tent can be one of the more costly items on your camping equipment shopping list. It is definitely something that you need to consider carefully.By seeing a tent for real you will be able to get a better impression of its size and construction in the traditional shop. However, the downside is that, unless you are experienced，you may miss out some of the details that the manufacturer's promotional material makes clear. Cheap tents often look similar to the quality models they are mimicking(模仿), but you can be sure that they use inferior(次的) materials and probably have lower design standards.Shop staff are often campers themselves. That means they usually can give lots of advice. If a shop assistant agrees with your own conclusions, that will be great; if they try to change your decision with a clear and reasonable argument, then that will be worth considering; if they just try to bamboozle(欺骗) or even bully, you then walk away.The Internet is a wonderful tool, and so long as you know how to make the most of search engines and put in a little effort, you really have the perfect answer waiting to be found. That answer will be different for every camper as each of us has different needs. Don't be surprised to see your favourite criticized somewhere, but if you see too much criticism，then you had better start thinking again. No problem. You won't have spent anything yet, so think of it positively as a large expense is saved.Probably the best approach, if you have the time, is to research tents online and make a short list. Then try to inspect those tents at nearby shops. Then you can make a final decision on where to buy your chosen model based purely on total cost.1The underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 2 means“_”Adisadvantage BinstructionCargument Dprinciple2It can be concluded from the third paragraph that_.Ashop assistants usually enjoy going campingBshop assistants usually have practical adviceCyou should consider your idea repeatedlyDit is impolite for you to trouble shop assistants3You can make use of the Internet to_.Ameet your different needsBfind the answer for every camperChelp you out of troubleDfind your favourite tent4Which of the following would be the main idea of this passage?AIt is good to buy your tent in the traditional shop.BYou'd better buy a tent with the help of the Internet.CBetter buy a tent combining seeing tents for real in shops and researching them online.DGoing camping is really beneficial to your health.(二)A smartphone is a mobile phone built on a mobile operating system, with more advanced computing abilities than a common phone. The first smartphones enabled the users to send and receive emails. Later models added the functions of portable media players, pocket video cameras, and GPS navigation units to form one multiuse device. Many modern smartphones also include touch screens and Web browsers that display Web pages.A recent report says we spend an average of two hours and 40 minutes each day looking at a smartphone. That doesn't mean making calls, but playing phone games and browsing the Web.Nowadays we always find people checking emails in a restaurant, taking a picture of the food when it arrives, or checking a message during a conversation instead of traditional communication. It's no secret that our life is being affected by our smartphones obsession.However, this phenomenon has never been presented so vividly as in the short YouTube film I Forgot My Phone. Despite only being online for a few days, it's already been viewed more than 10.5 million times. Whether it will be screened in the cinema remains to be seen.Ironically, YouTube's data show that the site gets a billion views per day from mobile devices, so a lot of those people watched it on their phones.The short film, written by and starring actress Charlene deGuzman, shows groups of people in various social situations, the majority of whom are absorbed in their phones instead of the world around them. To a certain extent, we all do it.5People prefer a smartphone to a common one, because the latter can only help us _.Acheck emailsBsend messagesCfind the destinationDwatch a video6The underlined word “obsession” in the third paragraph most probably means “_”Adevotion BcontributionCaddiction Demotion7Which of the following is TRUE?APeople spend an average of two hours and 40 minutes each day using smartphones.BThe film hasn't been put on in the cinema.CThe film is written by an actor named Charlene deGuzman.DThe film has already been viewed more than 105 million times in the first few days.8When the writer mentions the number of people watching the film from mobile devices in the fifth paragraph, he mainly feels _.Aencouraged BdepressedCproud Dsatisfied(三)The slogan “a dog is for life, not just for Christmas” has been going strong for 27 years now.Dogs and cats have been popular Christmas gifts in the UK and Europe for many years.But some people still haven't quite got the message.The slogan still holds good.Some 105,000 dogs were rounded up by the local government last year because they had been abandoned, many of them shortly after the festival season.The main reason given by owners for handing their dogs over to the Dogs Trust is that the dogs need more attention than they can give; behavioural problems and moving homes are also reasons given.But Eleanor Silk, the Trust's communications director, says, “It's often four or five months after Christmas, in early summer, when the owner finds that the dog has got too big and too active, or that it hasn't been trained properly and has caused damage around the home.”In any case, some organizations that help pets are quick to point out that if you are serious about getting a puppy as a pet, Christmas is not the time to do it.Puppies need to get used to their new surroundings, to be introduced to a routine, and to be looked after like small children.It's hard to meet any of these needs at Christmas.What's more, pulling a puppy out of a Christmas stocking in itself sends the wrong message to children.It encourages children to think of the puppy as a toy, rather than a responsibility.Appreciating what you're taking on with the dogs can be a sobering(使人清醒的) realization.“For life” means thinking about the effect they'll have on your life.It also infers that you will need to care for the dogs for their whole life.9What would be the best title for the passage?ADogs and catsthe most popular Christmas giftsBA pet is for life, not just for ChristmasCHow to take care of your pets over ChristmasDLet's help those abandoned pets10According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a reason for pets to be abandoned?APets spread some diseases.BPets damage some things in the houses.CThe owners can't take good care of the pets.DThe owners have to move to other places.11The fifth paragraph mainly tells us _.Ahow to take best care of Christmas petsBthe right time to have a puppy as a petCthe reason why Christmas is not the time to get a petDthe worries about Christmas pets from organizations that help pets12Why is the author against the idea of putting a dog in the Christmas stocking as a Christmas gift?ABecause a dog can still cause damage.BBecause children will not take a dog seriously.CBecause children don't like to have a dog as a Christmas gift.DBecause a Christmas stocking is not big enough to put a dog in.专题限时训练(三十六)【社会生活型阅读理解(二】(一)【文章大意】 这篇文章主要讲了在网上买帐篷和实体店买帐篷的利与弊。最后作者建议在网上找帐篷，然后去实体店查看，最后决定在哪儿买帐篷。1A词义猜测题。根据第二段的“By seeing a tent for real you will be able to get a better impression of its size and construction in the traditional shop.However，the downside is that，unless you are experienced，you may miss out some of the details that the manufacturer's promotional material makes clear.”可猜出downside意为“缺点”，故选A项。2B推理判断题。根据第三段前二句“Shop staff are often campers themselves.That means they usually can give lots of advice.”可知，店员通常会给出实用性的建议，故选B项。3D细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“The Internet is a wonderful tool, and so long as you know how to make the most of search engines and put in a little effort, you really have the perfect answer waiting to be found.”可知，你可以利用网络来找你喜欢的帐篷，故选D项。4C主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Probably the best approach, if you have the time, is to research tents online and make a short list.Then try to inspect those tents at nearby shops.Then you can make a final decision on where to buy your chosen model based purely on total cost.”可知，这篇文章主要建议人们在网上找帐篷，然后去实体店查看，最后决定在哪儿买帐篷，故选C项。(二)【文章大意】 智能手机的出现改变了人们的生活，通过智能手机人们可以收发电子邮件，可以听歌，看电影，可以上网浏览网页。智能手机有着如此多的功能以至于人们越来越多地对智能手机产生了依赖。作者对这种现象非常担忧。5B细节理解题。根据第一段的“The first smartphones enabled the users to send and receive emails.Later models added the functions of portable media players, pocket video cameras, and GPS navigation units to form one multiuse device.”可知，A、C、D项是智能手机的功能，故选B项。6C词义猜测题。根据文章第二、三段内容可知，人们在生活中越来越依赖智能手机，对智能手机的痴迷越来越严重，由此判断obsession的意思是“痴迷，上瘾”，故选C项。7B细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段最后一句“Whether it will be screened in the cinema remains to be seen.”可以推断，此电影只是在优酷上播放过，但还没有被搬到电影院银幕上，故选B项。8B推理判断题。作者在文章中指出人们对智能手机的过度依赖这种现象，然后以优酷视频的点击率为例对此进行了更为有力的例证，再根据最后一段的“the majority of whom are absorbed in their phones instead of the world around them.”可以推断，作者对这种现象是感到抑郁不安的，故选B项。(三)【文章大意】 这篇文章主要讲了宠物是终生的，而不仅仅是圣诞节礼物。作者反对把小狗装在圣诞袜里作为圣诞礼物送给孩子是因为孩子会认为小狗是玩具，不认真对待它。9B主旨大意题。根据文章第一段内容可知，这篇文章主要讲了宠物是终生的，而不仅仅是圣诞节礼物，故选B项。10A细节理解题。通过阅读文章内容可知，只有宠物传播疾病没有被提到，故选A 项。11C段落大意题。根据第五段第一句“In any case, some organizations that help pets are quick to point out that if you are serious about getting a puppy as a pet, Christmas is not the time to do it.”可知，第五段主要讲了圣诞节不是得到宠物的时间的原因，故选C项。12B推断判断题。根据第五段的“What's more, pulling a puppy out of a Christmas stocking in itself sends the wrong message to children.It encourages children to think of the puppy as a toy，rather than a responsibility.”可知，作者反对把小狗装在圣诞袜里作为圣诞礼物送给孩子是因为孩子会认为小狗是玩具，不认真对待它，故选B项。 - 6 -
