閱讀理解提升練(三) A Research carried out last year stressed the growing challenge facing employers in terms of managing and supporting the UK’s ageing workforce. Figures from the Office for National Statistics have suggested that the number of people aged 65 and over still working has reached 1.19 million—up 25,000 from a year ago.There were also now more people aged 50-74 in work than ever before.However,the overall trend was hiding the fact that 12% people are forced to stop working before reaching state pension age because of ill health or disability. Nearly half a million (436,000) workers who are within five years of state pension age have had to leave work for medical reasons,with an apparent divide between the North (worse) and South (better).Those in the lowest-paid jobs,including cleaners,leisure industry workers and people doing heavy laboring jobs,were twice as likely to stop working before retirement age,because of sickness and disability than managers or professionals. Within this,the needs of the “sandwich generation”—those juggling work with caring for elderly dependents as well as children—needed to be given greater priority (優(yōu)先權) by employers,a white paper by insurer and healthcare provider concluded. Its research argued that 66% of managers think the average age of retirement in their organization will increase in the next 5 to 10 years.Yet,36% reported being unaware of anything their organization did to attract,keep and engage older staff.Fewer than a quarter (23%) of employees said they felt supported by their employer with their responsibilities for caring for a loved one. This was perhaps unsurprising,given that only 28% of managers said their organization had formal policies and practices in place to support these employees,argues healthcare distribution director Chris Horlick. 1.According to the passage,who is more likely to leave work before retirement age? A.Tom,a physician. B.Jason,a language teacher. C.Henry,a construction worker. D.Bill,a bank manager. 2.The present support from the employers can be best described as 　　　. A.moving　　　　　　　　B.dissatisfying C.inspiring D.surprising 3.What is the main idea of the passage? A.Old employees are well attended in the UK. B.Aging workforce should be well supported in the UK. C.Employers show responsibilities for supporting their employees. D.UK employers are facing challenges in supporting aging workforce. B About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio(影棚) to take part in a crowd-scene.Although our “act” would last only for a short time,we could see quite a number of interesting things. We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene,setting up trees at the edge of a winding path.Very soon,bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position.The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby.Since it was hot in the studio,it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path.A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him,and soon the trees were covered in “snow”.Two more fans were turned on,and a “strong wind” blew through the trees.The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold. The next scene was a plete contrast(對比).The way it was filmed was quite unusual.Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen.An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water’s edge on an island.By a simple trick like this,palm trees,sandy beaches,and blue,clear skies had been brought into the studio! Since it was our turn next,we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us.For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film “stars”! 4.Who is the author? A.A cameraman. B.A film director. C.A crowd-scene actor. D.A workman for scene setting. 5.What made the author feel cold? A.The heavy snowfall. B.The man-made scene. C.The low temperature. D.The film being shown. 6.What would happen in the “three minutes” mentioned in the last paragraph? A.A new scene would be filmed. B.More stars would act in the film. C.The author would leave the studio. D.The next scene would be prepared. C (2018浙江余姚中學高三押題卷一) The bicycling craze came in when we were just about at the right age to enjoy it.At first even “safety” bicycles were too dangerous and improper for ladies to ride,and they had to have tricycles.My mother had (I believe) the first female tricycle in Cambridge,and I had a little one.We used to go out for family rides,all together,my father in front on a bicycle,and my poor brother Charles standing miserable on the bar behind my mother.I found it very hard work,pounding(轟隆隆行進) away on my hard tyres;a glorious,but not a pleasurable pastime. Then,one day at lunch,my father said he had just seen a new kind of tyre,filled up with air,and he thought it might be a success.And soon after that everyone had bicycles,ladies and all;and bicycling became the smart thing,and the lords and ladies had their pictures in the papers,riding along in the park,in straw boater hats(硬草帽). My mother must have fallen off her bicycle pretty often,for I remember seeing the most appalling cuts and bruises(青腫) on her legs.But she never plained,and always kept these mishaps(災禍) to herself.However,the great Mrs.Phillips,our cook,always knew all about them,as indeed she knew practically everything that ever happened.She used to draw us into the servants’ hall to tell us privately,“Her Ladyship had a nasty fall yesterday;she cut both her knees and sprained her wrist.But don’t let her know I told you.” So we never dared say anything.Similar little accidents used to occur when,at the age of nearly seventy,she insisted on learning to drive a car.She never mastered the art of reversing(倒車),and was in every way an unconventional and terrifying driver.Mrs.Phillips used then to tell us,“Her Ladyship ran into the back of a milk-cart yesterday;but it wasn’t much hurt”;or “A policeman stopped her Ladyship because she was on the wrong side of the road;but she said she didn’t know what the white line on the road meant,so he explained and let her go on.” Mrs.Phillips must have had an excellent Intelligence Service at her mand,for the stories were always true enough. 7.According to the passage,which of the following statements is true? A.Bicycling demanded too much hard work for women. B.Bicycling was considered unsafe and unladylike then. C.Women preferred to ride tricycles. D.Tricycles could carry young children as well. 8.What made it possible for bicycling to bee popular among women? A.The writer’s father popularised it. B.Air-filled tyres began to be used. C.Noble people started enjoying it. D.Newspapers had pictures of cyclists. 9.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph imply? A.Mrs.Phillips served as a spy as well as a cook. B.Mrs.Phillips was in mand of all the servants as an Intelligence Service. C.Mrs.Phillips was the most knowledgeable cook they had ever met. D.Mrs.Phillips had an outstanding ability to gather information. 10.The writer’s mother was stopped by a policeman one day because 　　　. A.she failed to follow the road system B.she was too old as a driver then C.she could not control the car D.she behaved too proudly  閱讀理解提升練(三) A 【語篇導讀】 本文是一篇說明文,介紹了英國雇主們所面臨的員工老齡化問題以及解決措施。 1.C　細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段“Those in the lowest-paid jobs,including cleaners,leisure industry workers and people doing heavy laboring jobs,were twice as likely to stop working before retirement age,because of sickness and disability than managers or professionals.”可知,construction worker屬于早于退休年齡離職的人。故選C項。 2.B　推理判斷題。根據文章最后兩段可知,目前員工們得到了老板的幫助和支持,但這種現狀還不是非常令人滿意。故選B項。 3.D　主旨大意題。根據文章第一段可知,文章主要講述了在英國,老板們所面臨的勞動力老齡化問題,以及如何向他們提供幫助來解決這一嚴峻問題。故選D項。 B 【語篇導讀】 作為群眾演員,作者去影棚參與電影拍攝。在影棚內,作者由衷地感受到了專業(yè)演員為了拍攝一部好電影,在各種各樣的人造場景下所付出的艱辛。 4.C　細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第一段開頭提到的“About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio(影棚)to take part in a crowd-scene.”并結合下文可知,作者其實是一名群眾演員。故選C項。 5.B　細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第二段提到的“Two more fans were turned on,and a ‘strong wind’ blew through the trees.The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.”可知,是影棚中逼真的人造場景使作者感覺冷。故選B項。 6.A　推理判斷題。根據文章最后一段提到“Since it was our turn next,we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us.”并結合上文可知,接下來會拍攝一個針對群演的新的場景。故選A項。 C 【語篇導讀】 是什么讓我們對自行車情有獨鐘?是什么讓我們對此戀戀不舍?讓我們讀文章了解一下吧。 7.B　細節(jié)理解題。由第一段第二句“At first even ‘safety’ bicycles were too dangerous and improper for ladies to ride”可知,起初,即使是“安全型”的兩輪自行車也是太危險或不適宜婦女騎行的,因此選擇B項。 8.B　細節(jié)理解題。由第二段中的“my father said he had just seen a new kind of tyre,filled up with air,and he thought it might be a success.And soon after that everyone had bicycles,ladies and all”可知,充氣輪胎的使用使騎自行車變得普及。 9.D　句意理解題。菲利普斯太太之所以了不起是因為她“幾乎知道發(fā)生的每一件事”,就好像“有一個出色的情報部在為她工作”一樣。因此D項是正確答案。 10.A　細節(jié)理解題。由最后一段倒數第二句“A policeman stopped her Ladyship because she was on the wrong side of the road;but she said she didn’t know what the white line on the road meant,so he explained and let her go on.”可知,答案為A項。
