四川长宁县2024高考英语阅读理解专题练习

　　2024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和D）中，选出最佳选项。Smoking is the worst thing you can do for your health. Fortunately, it’s never too late to get the benefits of quitting. If you’ve tried to quit before and failed, it’s time to make up your mind and try again.

　　Smoking is responsible for one of every five deaths. That includes 29% of all cancer deaths, 87% of all lung cancer deaths, and nearly 20% of all deaths are from cardiovascular disease. But long before smoking kills you, it ages you. You can see that smoking accelerates the drying and wrinkling of the skin. But there are fewer obvious effects as well. Indeed, smoking takes years away from your life. Nearly half of all chronic smokers die an average of 20 to 25 years before their time.

　　Besides an early death from cancer or heart disease, smoking can cause lung disorders. People who smoke over a pack a day have almost three times the risk of contracting pneumonia (肺炎) than that of non-smokers. By lowering levels of estrogen (雌性激素) in men and women, smoking speeds bone less. If a woman smokes a pack of cigarettes every day, she will enter menopause (更年期) with 5% to 10% less bone mass than a non-smoker.

　　The good news is that no matter what your age is or how long you’ve smoked, you’ll live longer if you quit today. The Coronary Artery Surgery Study examined nearly 2,000 long-term smokers over the age of 54. Those who quit had significantly lower death rates six years later than those who didn’t. Even the oldest ex-smokers had a higher survival rate.

　　Not only will you live longer if you quit, but you’ll feel better, breathe easier, and find that you have more energy. You’ll have fewer respiratory infections, headaches, and stomachaches. What’s more, you’ll save money. Your clothes and breath won’t smell unpleasant any longer. And your habit won’t annoy, or threaten the health of the people who live and work with you.

　　In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music，dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.

　　It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness, Richard Burton, Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras(交响乐团). It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400，000 people yearly.

　　At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform，and they did so in a public house disused for years.

　　Soon，groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge，Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little－known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.

　　Today the “Fringe”，once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1，500 performances of theatre，music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959，with only 19 theatre groups performing，some said it was getting too big.

　　A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1，695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.

　　40．What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?

　　A. To bring Europe together again.

　　B. To honor heroes of World War Ⅱ.

　　C. To introduce young theatre groups.

　　D. To attract great artists from Europe.

　　43.We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival ________．

　　A. has become a non－official event

　　B. has gone beyond an art festival

　　C. gives shows all year round

　　D. keeps growing rapidly

　　【要点综述】 本文主要介绍了Fringe的成长和发展的历史过程。在英国，二战刚结束以后，百废待兴。从战争和痛苦之中解脱出来的人们期待着一次艺术的盛会。第一届爱丁堡艺术节从战后的艺术家群体里邀请了所有知名的艺术家，可谓盛况空前。八支同样具有好评的艺术团体自费来到英国，组成团体，在爱丁堡艺术节举办的同时自发地举办了他们自己的艺术节。
