2024年陜西漢中市高考英語二輪閱讀理解選練（10）（含答案）

　　【2024模擬題】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。If you have a bad habit of losing things, a new device that can be connected to any item that you might lose may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to the missing item, within a 50-to 150-foot range . If the item goes out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be detected (發(fā)現) on other smartphones with the same app.

　　When you log into the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost item — a dog, for example, or a stolen bike — goes out of your own phone’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, you can set it as a “l(fā)ost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within the range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your own phone, reminding you of its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.

　　Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they never run out of battery or need to be charged, and they last for one year before needing to be replaced. The app, which will come into the market this winter, works with iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd and 4th generation, and iPod 5th generation.

　　1. The Tile app can help you 　.

　　A. find your missing items

　　B. use your phone more wisely

　　D. connect something to your phone

　　2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　B. One smartphone can only be linked up to one Tile.

　　C. The Tile cannot work when linked up to a phone without Bluetooth.

　　D. A missing item can’t be found if it goes out of the needed range.

　　閱讀理解。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。

　　In business, there is a speed difference: It's the difference between how important a firms leaders say speed is to their competitive () strategy（策略）and how fast the company actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and company size .Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.

　　In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that choose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track, What’s more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up “improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period.

　　How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly )and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value ).Simply increasing the speed of production, for example ,may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference .But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.

　　In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. They encouraged new ways of thinking. And they allowed time to look back and learn. By contrast (相比而言), performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn’t develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes.

　　Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore , are more successful in meeting their business goals . That kind of strategy must come from the top.

　　(

　　) 1. What does the underlined part “gain an edge” in Paragraph 2 mean?

　　A. Increase the speed.

　　B. Get an advantage.

　　C. Reach the limit.

　　D. Set a goal.

　　(

　　) 2. The underlined part “the laws of business physics” in Paragraph 3 means ___________.

　　A. spending more time and performing worse.

　　B. spending more time and performing better

　　C. spending less time and performing worse

　　D. spending less time and performing better

　　(

　　) 3. What can we learn from the text?

　　A. how fast a firm moves depends on how big it is.

　　B. how competitive a firm is depends on what it produces.

　　C. Firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes.

　　D. Firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit.

　　(

　　) 4. Which could be the best title for the text?

　　A. Improve quality? Serve better.

　　B. Deliver value? Plough ahead.

　　C. Reduce time? Move faster.

　　D. Need speed? Slow down.

　　閱讀理解2024·江西六校高三聯(lián)考Most people will answer a ringing phone.Usually you don’t know who is phoning or how urgent their business is，so a ringing phone is difficult to ignore.In one experiment，a researcher wrote down the numbers of several public phones in stations and airports.Then he called the numbers.Someone nearly always answered.When he asked why，people usually said，“Because it rang.”

　　A few years ago in New Jersey，a man with a rifle killed 13 people.Armed police surrounded his house but he refused to come out.A reporter found out the phone number of the house and called.The man put down his rifle and answered the phone.“What do you want？” he said，“I’m really busy right now.”

　　答案：C閱讀理解2024·山東省實驗中學二模Genzeb Tibeb is very bright.At only 11 years old，her future is looking promising.She is ranked 2nd out of 56 students at her government school in Addis Ababa，Ethiopia where she has been selected for a special program because of her talent.She knows she is special and proudly shows off her certificate and book signifying her accomplishments in this special program.

　　But her future hasn’t always looked so bright.While her mother，Bekelech，sacrificed immensely for Genzeb，she would not have been able to continue sending her to school.When her husband died，Bekelech was the sole provider，for their five children.In order for them to survive，she began the daily routine of walking approximately 8－10 miles a day collecting sticks to sell near her 8′×10′ home in Kichone.It wouldn’t have been long before Genzeb would have been forced to quit school in order to help her mom.But Bright Future changed all that.
