四川米易县 2017 高考英语一轮阅读理解练习（一）2016 高考训练题阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。Free Wi-Fi has become very important to us: many stores and shopping malls offer it, restaurants use it to attract customers, and for libraries and coffee shops it is a must-have service.Even when people are traveling, they scan for free Wi-Fi. When selecting or rating a hotel, six in ten travelers believe that unlimited Wi-Fi is the most important factor.“Today, people will never forget to pack their smart phones, tablets and laptops into the suitcase,” said the Daily Mail. “We rely on free Wi-Fi heavily when travelingespecially when it comes to checking social media, checking out travel tips, and accessing websites.”However, despite the opportunities that free Wi-Fi gives us, “our over-reliance on technology has come at a price, with travelers feeling unable to escape social media”, said Lonely Planet, the worlds largest travel guide brand.Anita Isalska, Lonely Planet editor and tech addict, was forced to unplug when in an isolated (隔绝的) camp in Greenland recently. “Adjusting to this slower pace, I began to realize that: social media had changed into a habit,” she wrote. “I had believed I was capturing（捕捉） moments, but in reality my busy fingers were preventing me enjoying travels deepest pleasures. How fully can you appreciate a huge glacier or wild flowers when your brain is selecting the right photo filter (滤镜) or the perfect six seconds to take photos?”In September, Lonely Planet released 10 predictions for the future of global travel. One of them was that true escapes will be highly valued in future, so remote hotels will start to make their lack of the Internet into an appealing feature.

A【命题立意】写作意图题。考查考生把握文篇章结构和作者写作意图的能力。【试题解析】第四段出现关键词：“However”，文章转向另外一个议论角度：free Wi-Fi 的缺点。3.D【命题立意】细节理解题。考查考生对具体信息的判断能力。【试题解析】对于 A 选项，Anita Isalska 的经历说明没有高科技的生活是可能的。B 和 C 选项的错误来源于对“I had believed I was capturing moments, but in reality my busy fingers were preventing me from enjoying travels deepest pleasures. How fully can you appreciate a huge glacier or meadow of wild flowers when your brain is selecting the right photo filter (滤镜) or the perfect six seconds to take photos?” 这段话的理解，即高科技分散了旅行者欣赏自然美景的精力。正确答案 D 来自于对第五段核心内容的概括，选项中还用了“come at a price”这个短语，该短语也被原作者使用在了第四段。4.B【命题立意】词义猜测题。考查考生根据对上下文的理解推测词义的能力。【试题解析】根据上文的“true escapes”和“make their lack of the Internet into an appealing feature”可推测出“an unplugged holiday”指不使用高科技和免费 Wi-Fi，从而尽情享受假期的度假模式。【2014 高考训练】Clenching your fist could be enough to help you get a grip on yourmemory2Research suggests that balling up the right hand and squeezing it tightly actually makes it easier to memorize listsLater, when it is time to get back the information，it is the left handthat should be clenchedIt is thought the movements activate brain regions key to the storing and recall of memoriesThe American researchers suggest those who are short of a pen and paper should try the trickwhen attempting to remember a shopping list or phone numberIn the study,volunteers were given a rubber ball and asked to squeeze it as hard as possible before trying to memorize a list of 72 wordsThey squeezed the ball again a couple of minutes later,ahead of recollecting as many of the words as possibleThe first group of the volunteers used their right hand on both occasions，and the second group their leftThe third group clenched their right fist ahead of memorizing and their left ahead of recall and the fourth did the oppositeThe fifth group held the ball but did not squeeze itThose who squeezed
