1、精选优质文档-倾情为你奉上2017年高考英语冲刺阅读理解考前演练AFor almost two months Dominic York, a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered about hospitals at night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor. Yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications, he had

2、 saved several peoples lives. He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed.“I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself. So I put on a white j

3、acket and a stethoscope(听诊器) and walked around one of the biggest hospitals in London. At first I just watched. Once you learn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and other doctors, its easy to take people in,” he said. One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. She had been knocked down by a

4、 car and fainted. When she came into hospital, York was standing over her.“He looked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon. Then he gave me some sort of injection,” she said. And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was. She didnt think there was anything wrong. “

5、I would never have realized he was a fake if a policewoman hadnt showed me his photograph a week later. When the policewoman told me who he really was, I could hardly believe my ears. Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was “shocked and horrified” that he got away with his cheating for so long, an

6、d then sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminals with mental disorders. “I can only hope that his will not lead to further problem. After all, you will have considerable opportunity to study the behavior of the psychiatrists(精神科医生) who will look after you while you are there

7、. If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psychiatrist after you are set free, I shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence,” Judge Adams warned York1York was proud of the fact that _.A. a surgeon let him watch an operationB. he could perform some duties of a doctorC. he

8、 had cheated doctors for so longD. people thought he could become a real doctor2York learned how to behave like a doctor by _.A. watching other doctors workB. talking to doctors and nursesC. getting some training and experienceD. observing doctors while he was a patient3Why was Laura Kennan in hospi

9、tal? A. She had swallowed something and almost died.B. She had to have an emergency operation.C. She had been injured in a road accident.D. She had lost consciousness while driving.4The judges remark implied that York would be more severely punished if he _.A. pretended to be a psychiatristB. tried

10、to get away from prisonC. was proud of what he had doneD. studied the behavior of the psychiatristBIts interesting that technology often works as a servant for us, yet frequently we become a servant to it. E-mail is a useful tool but many feel controlled by this new tool. The average business person

11、 is getting about 80 e-mails per day and many feel that about 80% of the messages in their “Inbox” are of little or no value. So, I have four suggestions to help you to become better at “Erasing E-mail”.1.Get off the lists. The best way to deal with a problem is to never have it. If you are receivin

12、g a lot of unwanted e-mails, ask to be removed from the various lists. This would include your inclusion in unwanted lists.2.“Unlisted address”. Just as you keep an “unlisted” telephone number that you share only with those whom you want to have direct access to, you might want to get a separate e-m

13、ail address only for the important communications you wish to receive.3.Check it once or twice per day. Many I speak with are becoming chained to their email server, monitoring incoming email continuously. Maybe this is because e-mail creates its own sense of urgency, but most of the communications

14、are not all that urgent. I respond to them a couple of times per day.4.Deal with it. As you open each e-mail, do one of the following:a. If it requires a quick response, respond to it and delete it.b. If it requires a response but is not the best use of your time, try to find someone else to do it.c

15、. If it is going to take any serious amount of time to respond, schedule it for action in your Day Planner and then download the message, save it, or print it out for future action.I personally receive about 250 e-mails per day and by practicing the suggestions above, I can handle that volume in abo

16、ut an hour, taking advantage of this fantastic tool but not being controlled by it to make sure Im doing more important tasks in my day.1For the important communications, the writer suggests that you_.A. have a direct access for themB. have several e-mail servers for themC. get a separate e-mail add

17、ress for themD. get an unlisted phone number for them2To avoid being chained by the coming e-mails, what you can do is to_.A. respond urgent ones onlyB. reply to all of them at the same timeC. handle them a couple of times dailyD. keep replying to e-mails all day long3To deal with an e-mail you get,

18、 you can do the following EXCEPT_.A. responding right away if its urgentB. downloading every e-mail before you replyC. scheduling it for later reply if it takes much timeD. asking someone else to reply to it if its not at your convenienceCFrom a college designed specifically for high school students

19、 to one that doesnt provide students with grades, here are some of the countrys most unique institutions.Berea College, Berea, KentuckyThe first interracial, co-educational college in the South, Berea specializes in attracting students who may be otherwise unable to afford a college education. Berea

20、 students come from families with an average household income of $30,000, which is why the schools financial aid program is so important.Deep Springs College, Deep Springs, CaliforniaDeep Springs, formerly an all-male school, has one of the smallest student bodies in the country at 26.

21、ccepts only 10% of its applicants, and maintains its own cattle herd. Students enjoy the schools isolated location 45 miles away from the nearest established town.

The college sits on 1,000 breathtaking acres, a portion of it on Puget Sound.Hampshire College, Amherst, MassachusettsConsidered an experimenting college because of its constantly changing curriculum, Hampshire College doesnt featu

27、heir performance of three divisions.D.

28、nd noted that the birds heart rates increased dramatically at the sight of a human as far as 30 meters away. But new research using an artificial egg, which is equipped to measure heart rates, disputes this. Scientists from the Scott Polar Research Institute at Cambridge say that a slow moving human

29、 who does not approach the nest too closely, is not viewed as a threat by penguins. The earlier findings have been used to partly explain the 20 per cent drop in populations of certain types of penguins near tourist sites. However, tour operators have continued to insist that their activities do not

30、 adversely affect wildlife in Antarctica, saying they encourage non-disruptive behavior in tourists, and that the decline in penguin numbers is caused by other factors.Amanda Nimon of the Scott Polar Research Institute spent three southern hemisphere summers at Cuverville Island in Antarctica studyi

31、ng penguin behavior towards humans. “A nesting penguin will react very differently to a person rapidly and closely approaching the nest,” says Nimon. “First they exhibit large and prolonged(延长) heart rate changes and then they often flee the nest leaving it open for predators (掠夺者) to fly in and rem

32、ove eggs or chicks.” The artificial egg, specially for the project, monitored both the parent who had been disturbed when the egg was placed in the nest and the other parent as they both took it in turns to guard the nest.However, Boris Culik, who monitored the Adelie penguins, believes that Nimons

33、findings do not invalidate his own research. He points out that species behave differently and Nimons work was with Gentoo penguins. Nimon and her colleagues believe that Culiks research was methodologically flawed（使无效） because the monitoring of penguins responses needed capturing and restraining（控制

34、） the birds and fitting them with heart-rate transmitters. Therefore, argues Nimon, it would not be surprising if they became stressed on seeing a human subsequently.1.According to the passage, what overall message is presented?A.
