2017高考英語(yǔ)閱讀理解試題訓(xùn)練(一)
It must have been around nine O’clock when I drove back home from work because it was already dark. As I came near to the gates I turned off the headlamps of the car so as to prevent the beam(光榮) from swinging(搖擺)in through the window and waking Jack, who shared the house with me. But needn’t have done so, I noticed that his light was still on, so he was awake anyway--- unless he had fallen asleep while reading. I put the car away and went up the steps, Then I opened the door quietly and went to Jack’s room. He was in bed awake but he didn’t even turn towards me.
“What’s up, Jack?” I said.
“For God’s sake(看在上帝面上), don’t make a noise,” he said.
The way he spoke reminded me of someone in pain who is afraid to talk in case he does himself a serious injury(傷害).
“Take your shoes off, Neville,” Jack said.
I thought that he must be ill and that I had better humour (遷就)him to keep him happy, “There’s a snake here” he explained, “It’s asleep between the sheets. I was lying on my back reading when I saw it. I knew that moving was out of the question. I couldn’t have moved even if I’d wanted to .” I realized that he was serious. “I was relying on you to call a doctor as soon as you came home.” Jack went on.” It hasn’t bitten me yet but I daren’t do anything to upset it. It might wake up. I’m sick of this,” he said, :” I took it for granted that you would have come home an hour ago.”
There was no time to argue or apologize for being late. I looks at him as encouragingly as I could and went out to telephone the doctor.

In earliest times, men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries (神秘的事物) of nature. Some ancient peoples believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons (武器) of the gods.
In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs (燈泡).
The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first lightning rod (避雷針). This device (裝置物) protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.
Modern science has discovered that one stroke (閃擊) of lightning has a voltage (電壓) of more than 15 million volts (伏特). A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.
Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average (平均數(shù)) of one person every day.
The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under tress. Also, one should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.
With lightning, it is better to be safe than sorry?
1. People once thought lightning came from ________.
A. the sky B. the gods C. the earth D. nature
2. According to the passage what do you think all buildings need?
A. Metal fences. B. Electricity. C. lightning rods. D. Machines.
3. Lightning can travel ________.
A. as quickly as water B. not so quickly as electricity
C. at very low speed D. at very high speed
4. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. In the U.S about one person per day dies from lightning.
B. The Empire State Building frequently gets hit by lightning.
C. Swimming during a thunder storm is a good idea.
D. A closed car is the best place to be during an electrical storm.
5. Lightning is probably ______ to man.
A. useful B. kind C. useless D. friendly
