黑龙江同江市2017高考英语阅读理解暑假练习【2】

阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的四个选项（A,B,C,D）中，选出最佳选项。

Some novels simply entertain and others contain a powerful message in the story line and characters. In his first novel, A Wind In Montana, Mitch Davies tells a story about young adults and how they accept responsibility for their lives.

A Wind In Montana is a marvelous tale of two teenagers, Rory Coleman and Victoria Beach, high

school students at the same school, who struggle to make the right decision for themselves. As each of them nears adulthood, they become more concerned with the future and setting goals that will bring them happiness and fulfillment.

Without any advice from his parents, Rory chooses to pursue a profession in chemistry, applies for a chemistry scholarship, and determines to do everything he can to achieve it. Along the path, Rory finds that even though he has a plan, there are obstacles that could prevent him from realizing his goals. Victoria’s struggles are different from Rory’s. Although her father has decided that she should become a professional musician, Victoria has other plans for her life. Together, Rory and Victoria attempt to follow their dreams, despite the obstacles in their paths. A Wind In Montana contains a lesson for all teens about to enter adulthood － that disappointment and setbacks (挫折) are going to occur no matter how determined they are and that they need to develop skills along the way that will help them deal with them effectively.

There are so many major decisions facing teens today －social, parents, other influencing adults and school work － and there’s no guarantee that their plans will succeed, even if they make the so-called “right” decisions. A Wind In Montana explores how two teenagers struggle with their own unique decisions and how the choices they make affect their lives.

Mitch Davies’ book stands out among today’s teen books that deal with imaginary situations.

A Wind In Montana is a real story about real people facing real-life situations. It’s entertaining

and also helps readers think about their own lives and offers various ways to handle situations that may arise.

Humans： It's time to abandon Earth or Race Extinction.

It could be the plot of a summer blockbuster (巨片），but this prediction isn't science fiction. It's a glimpse of the future ，according to famous British scientist Stephen Hawking.

“I see great dangers for the human race，” he said in an interview with global forum Big Think. ‘‘There have been a number of times in the past when its survival has been a question of touch and go. ”

“I believe that the long-term future of the human race must be in space”，he said. “It will be difficult enough to avoid disasters on planet Earth in the next hundred years ，let alone the next thousand, or million. ”

Hawking ，who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom last year, has recently voiced many concerns about the future of life on Earth.

\aliens visited us ，the outcome would be as much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans，” he said. “Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads (游牧者），looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach. ”

But Hawking says he's still hopeful for the future of humanity. He told Big Think. \made remarkable progress in the last hundred years. But if we want to continue beyond the next hundred years ，our future is in space.”

Getting to another planet will prove a challenge ，not to mention colonizing it for humanity. Katherine Freese from University of Michigan told Big Think that “the nearest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri which is 4. 2 light years away. That means ，if you were traveling at the speed of light the whole time, it would take 4. 2 years to get there —or about 50,000 years using current
