2021成都高考英语阅读理解、完形填空三月课外小练（4）答案阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。Most mornings, the line begins to form at dawn: scores of silent women with babies on their backs, buckets balanced on their heads, and in each hand a bright-blue plastic jug. On good days, they will wait less than an hour before a water tanker goes across the dirt path that serves as a road in Kesum Purbahari, a slum on the southern edge of New Delhi. On bad days, when there is no electricity for the pumps, the tankers dont come at all. “That water kills people,” a young mother named Shoba said one recent Saturday morning, pointing to a row of pails filled with thick, caramel (焦糖)-colored liquid.“Whoever drinks it will die.”The water was from a pipe shared by thousands of people in the poor neighborhood. Women often use it to wash clothes and bathe their children, but nobody is desperate enough to drink it. There is no standard for how much water a person needs each day, but experts usually put the minimum at fifty litres. The government of India promises (but rarely provides) forty. Most people drink two or three litresless than it takes to wash a toilet. The rest is typically used for cooking and bathing. Americans consume between four hundred and six hundred litres of water each day, more than any other people on earth. Most Europeans use less than half that. The women of Kesum Purbahari each hoped to drag away a hundred litres that daytwo or three buckets worth. Shoba has a husband and five children, and that much water doesnt go far in a family of seven, particularly when the temperature reaches a hundred and ten degrees before noon. She often makes up the difference with bottled water, which costs more than water delivered any other way. Sometimes she just buys milk; its cheaper. Like the poorest people everywhere, the people of New Delhis slums spend a far greater percentage of their incomes on water than anyone lucky enough to live in a house connected to a system of pipes.1 The underlined word “slum” most likely means _. A. a village B. a small townC. an area of a town with badly-built, over-crowded buildings D. the part of a town that lacks water badly2. Sometimes the water tanker doesnt come because _. A. the weather is bad B. there is no electricity C. there is no water D. people dont want the dirty water3. A person needs at least _ litres of water a day. A. a hundred B. four hundred C. forty D. fifty4. Which of the following statements is wrong? A. a hundred litres of water a day is enough for Shobas family B. Americans uses the largest amount of water each day C. in Kesum Purbahari milk is cheaper than bottled water D. Shoba has a family of seven people5. The passage mainly tells us _. A. how women in Kesum Purbahari gets their water B. how much water a day a person deeds C. that India lacks water badly D. how India government manages to solve the problem of water【参考答案】15、CBDAC阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。You know eating fruit and vegetables does good.But do you know it can also make you look good? People who increased their intake over just six weeks developed a healthy glow and appeared more attractive, researchers found.Scientists at St Andrews University found eating them slightly increased yellow and red pigments in the volunteers skin. They monitored the food intake of 35 people and took pictures of their faces, arms and hands using a sensitive camera at the start, and after three and six weeks. Increasing their intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day was found to make the person look more healthy and an extra 3.3 portions could enhance their attractiveness, when their photographs were rated by others.Fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids (类胡萝卜素)，which are known to protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays, and can also prevent agerelated diseases including heart disease and cancer. But while it was known eating extreme amounts of certain vegetables such as carrots could turn skin orange ，it was not known a small increase was perceptible(被觉察)to othersand was seen as appealing.A camera measured changes to the skins redness, yellowness and lightness, and found it significantly changed in people who naturally increased their intake. These changes were not evident in three weeks. Using light sensors, the researchers showed these red and yellow hues were linked with the levels of carotenoids in their skin. There are hundreds of carotenoids but those thought to have the most dramatic effect are lycopene(番茄红素)，which gives tomatoes and red peppers their red colour and betacarotene found in carrots as well as broccoli, squash, and spinach. Skin colour is also affected by chemicals called polyphenols(多元酚)，found in apples, blueberries and cherries, which cause blood rush to the skin surface.4 What do we know from the research?A If you take in a little more fruit and vegetables, you will obviously look more attractive in three weeks.B The researchers took the pictures of the 35 people in the research at different stages.C Increasing your intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day can greatly improve your health.D People who increased their intake of greens by 3.3 portions a day were found the most attractive after six weeks.2 Which of the following is NOT the function of carotenoids ?A They can protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays.B They can prevent heart disease and cancer.C They can prevent agerelated diseases.D They can keep you in good health.3 Which of the statements is NOT true according to the passage?A Weve already known eating extreme amounts of carrots can turn skin orange.B We knew in the past that eating a few more carrots could make us look appealing.C The research showed the improvement in skin is linked with the levels of carotenoids in it.D Among hundreds of carotenoids, lycopene is thought to have the most dramatic effect on the skin.4 We can infer from the passage that _Askins redness, yellowness and lightness make a person look more healthy and attractiveBcarotenoids have the same effect as lycopeneCit is carotenoids that give tomatoes and red peppers their red colourDboth betacarotene and polyphenols affect skin colour by causing blood rush to the skin
