　　《閱讀理解特訓：3真2模含解析》2024屆高三英語二輪突破33

　　閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）

　　閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

　　In Singapore, most of us love window-shopping while some others enjoy having a picnic at East Coast Park or Changi Beach on sunny days. Singaporeans are never bothered by the occasional thunderstorm. However, we know that if it rains for long continuous periods, there will be more serious effects. Just recently the main shopping street of Orchard Road was flooded and some part of Bukit Timah was impassable to traffic. People reacted by writing in to the newspaper to complain about this! We forget that other countries suffer much worse effects. Elsewhere, heavy tropical（熱帶的）storms often result in floods that ruin crops especially in Thailand and Malaysia. This in turn usually means that the price of rice and vegetables here in Singapore will rise because we import these products from them. If there is a typhoon or tsunami, thousands of lives are lost too. This happened in Indonesia and Phuket in Thailand in 2004 and it serves to remind us of how Mother Nature can cause great damage.

　　Weather patterns in general have changed dramatically in recent years. Scientists believe that global warming and the resulting melting of the polar ice-cap has caused the level of the ocean to rise. This in turn causes flooding of low-lying areas in countries where the land is rather flat and some parts of which is below water level. It is believed that human activities have caused Mother Nature to show her extreme anger, so it is now important that we really work together to cut down on harmful activities, for example, illegal logging（伐木）or irresponsible forest-burning to clear land for farming.

　　People use their mouths for many things. They eat, talk, shout and sing. They smile and they kiss. In the English language, there are many expressions using the word“mouth.”

　　For example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest（抗議）and say “Do not bad mouth me.” Sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that person. Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell. The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.”

　　If this should happen, the speaker might feel down in the mouth.

　　In other words, he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.

　　Another situation is when someone falsely claims another person said something.

　　The other person might protest: “I did not say that.

　　Do not put words in my mouth.”

　　Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family.

　　There is an expression for this, too. You might say such a person, “was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.” This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from hand to mouth.

　　This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food.

　　Parents might sometimes keep a child off sweet food as a form of punishment for saying bad things. For example, if a child says things she should not say to her parents, she might be described as a mouthy child. The parents might even tell the child to stop mouthing off..

　　How far would you be willing to go to satisfy your need to know? Far enough to find out your possibility of dying from a terrible disease? These days that’s more than an academic question, as Tracy Smith reports in our Cover Story.

　　There are now more than a thousand genetic（基因的）tests, for everything from baldness to breast cancer, and the list is growing. Question is, do you really want to know what might eventually kill you? For instance, Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson, one of the first people to map their entire genetic makeup, is said to have asked not to be told if he were at a higher risk for Alzheimer’（老年癡呆癥）.

　　“If I tell you that you have an increased risk of getting a terrible disease, that could weigh on your mind and make you anxious, through which you see the rest of your life as you wait for that disease to hit you. It could really mess you up.” Said Dr. Robert Green, a Harvard geneticist.

　　“Every ache and pain,” Smith suggested, could be understood as “the beginning of the end.”“That ’s right. If you ever worried you were at risk for Alzheimer’s disease, then every time you can’t find your car in the parking lot, you think the disease has started.”

　　Dr. Green has been thinking about this issue for years. He led a study of people who wanted to know if they were at a higher genetic risk for Alzheimer’s. It was thought that people who got bad news would, for lack of a better medical term, freak out. But Green and his team found that there was“no significant difference”between how people handled good news and possibly the worst news of their lives. In fact, most people think they can handle it. People who ask for the information usually can handle the information, good or bad, said Green.

　　71.The first paragraph is meant to__________.

　　A. ask some questions

　　B. introduce the topic

　　C. satisfy readers’ curiosity

　　D. describe an academic fact

　　【答案】B

　　【解析】通過兩個問題引出話題。

　　72.Which of the following is true of James Watson？

　　A. He is strongly in favor of the present genetic tests.

　　B. He is more likely to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease.

　　C. He believes genetic mapping can help cure any disease.

　　D. He doesn’t want to know his chance of getting a disease.

　　【答案】D

　　【解析】根據第二段Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson, one of the first people to map their entire genetic makeup, is said to have asked not to be told if he were at a higher risk for Alzheimer’。“James Watson要求如果他的基因表明他有很高的老年癡呆癥的可能不要告訴他。”

　　73.According to Paragraphs 3 and 4, if a person is at a higher genetic risk, it is__________.

　　A. advisable not to let him know

　　B. impossible to hide his disease

　　C. better to inform him immediately D. necessary to remove his anxiety

　　【答案】A

　　【解析】根據這兩個自然段可知，如果你提前被告知你將來可能患某種可怕的疾病會mess you up。

　　74.The underlined part“freak out”in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to“_________”.

　　A. break down

　　B. drop out

　　C. leave off

　　D. turn away

　　【答案】A
