浙江省宁波市浙江省宁波市 2015 高考英语阅读理解一轮练习(高考英语阅读理解一轮练习(1)及答案)及答案阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的 A,B,C 或 D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。A research by the National Center for Health Statistics is seen as an important confirmation of the “Hispanic mortality paradox(西班牙裔死亡率悖论).”On average, Hispanics outlive whites by 2.5 years and blacks by 7.7 years. Their life expectancy at birth in 2006 was 80.6 years, compared with 78.1 for whites, 72.9 for blacks and 77.7 years for the total population. The report shows that the Hispanic population has higher life expectancy at birth and at almost every age despite a socioeconomic status lower than that of whites. “Mortality is very correlated with income, education and health care access,” says Elizabeth Arias, author of the report. “You would expect the Hispanic population would have higher mortality, in line with the black population.”The Hispanic paradox has been documented for more than two decades, but this is the first time the government has had enough data to issue national numbers. Researchers are struggling to explain why Hispanics live longer. “We dont know,” says David Hayes-Bautista, director of the Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture at UCLAs David Geffen School of Medicine. “We thought it was a problem in the data, but we can pretty much say this is real.”Potential factors: Culture and lifestyle. Support from extended family and lower rates of smoking and drinking. Latino groups in particular have very strong family and social ties. Migration. The “healthy migrant effect” argues that healthy people are more likely to emigrate. And when immigrants become ill, they might return home and die there. “Solving the puzzle may help the nation deal with health care issues because Hispanics use health services lessthey make fewer doctors visits and spend less time in hospitals,” Hayes Bautista says. “Its clearly something in the Latino culture,” he says.1.

He was astonished to discover that it was a mouse trap!Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse declared the warning, “There is a mouse trap in the house, there is a mouse trap in the house.”The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, “Mr Mouse, I can tell you this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me, I cannot be bothered by it.”The mouse turned to the pig and told him, “There is a mouse trap in the house.” “I am so sorry, Mr.0.Mouse,” sympathized the pig, “but there is nothing I can do about it but pray; be assured that you are in my prayers.”The mouse turned to the cow, who replied, “A mouse trap, am I in grave danger, huh?”So the mouse returned to the house, head down and depressed to face the farmers mouse trap alone.That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a mouse trap catching its prey. The farmers wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see that it was an evil snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmers wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. She returned home with a fever. Now everyone knew to treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soups main ingredient. His wifes sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmers wife did not get well, in fact, she died, and so many people came for her funeral. The farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide meat for all of them to eat. So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that when the least of us is threatened, we are all at risk.9. We may infer that the passage is most probably a _.A. fairy tale B. fable C. science f
