2021年广东学位英语阅读理解考前必刷题（一）

        Passage One

        When Nicholas Pave was three years old，he ate a piece of cake at a party. Within seconds，his throat was aching and his nose was running. An hour later，he started throwing up. Says Nicholas now: “It was scary.”

        How can one bite of one cake make someone so sick？Nicholas was having an allergic（过敏的）reaction to peanut-butter（花生酱）chips in the cake. His mom quickly called the doctor and gave Nicholassomemedicine.Withoutthemedicine，he might have stopped breathing. Some people allergic to peanuts have died after eating them.People who are allergic to peanuts must avoid anything containing a peanut or its oil. Sometimes just smelling or touching peanut oil or peanut dust causes an allergic reaction. That can tum a school dining hall into a danger zone！Now some schools have decided not to take any chances. They're cracking down on peanut products to protect allergic kids. In some school dining halls, peanut-free tables are being set aside. In other schools, no one is allowed to bring any "peanutty" foods at all.

        Banning peanut butter creates some sticky problems. Peanut-butter sandwiches are popular. They are a nutritious, affordable food for most families. However, there are many choices for a healthful lunch. School dining halls can provide a wide choice of foods that are safe for all kids. They can even send home suggestions for bag lunches that  don't  includepeanuts. People should be willing to sacrifice a particular food if it might save a child's life. All schools should ban peanuts and peanut products.

        Even if all schools don't ban peanuts, Ann Munoz-Furlong of the Food Allergy Network points out that teachers and students should have an emergency plan to deal with any allergy attack. Allergic kids should always wash their hands before eating and should never exchange foods with other kids. Kids should feel safe in the classroom and the dining hall.

        A. an aching throat

        【参考译文】

        尼古拉斯·帕韦三岁时，在一次聚会上吃了一块蛋糕。几秒钟后，他开始喉咙痛，并且开始流鼻涕。一小时后，他开始呕吐。如今尼古拉斯回想起来说：“那次太可怕了。”

        吃一口蛋糕怎么能让有些人生病呢？尼古拉斯对蛋糕里的花生酱过敏。他的妈妈很快打电话给医生，并给尼古拉斯服用一些药。如果没有药，他可能会停止呼吸。有些对花生过敏的人因吃了花生后而丧命。

        对花生过敏的人必须避免任何含有花生或花生油的东西。有时只是闻到或接触到花生油或花生粉尘，就会引起过敏反应。这样学校食堂可能会变成危险地带！现在，有些学校已经决定不冒任何风险。为了保护过敏的孩子，它们正在抵制花生制品。在一些学校食堂里，特别设置了无花生餐桌区。还有些学校，任何人都不允许携带任何含有花生的食品。禁用花生酱带来了一些棘手的问题。花生酱三明治很受欢迎。对于大多数家庭来说，它们是一种既营养又廉价的食物。然而，想吃健康的午餐，还是有很多选择的。学校食堂可以为所有孩子提供大量安全的食品选择。他们甚至会建议家长不要给学生带含有花生的午餐。如果放弃某一特定的食物能挽救一个孩子的生命的话，人们应该会愿意这样做。所有学校都应该禁止花生和花生制品。

        在食物过敏网工作的安·穆尼奥斯弗隆指出，即使不是所有的学校都禁止花生，教师和学生也应该有一个应急计划来应对任何过敏情况的发生。过敏儿童应在进食前先洗手，不要与其他孩子交换食物。孩子们在教室和食堂应该是安全的。

        1.【解析】B 细节题。根据文章第一段第二句和第三句可知，吃过蛋糕几秒钟后，他的喉咙开始痛，并且开始流鼻涕，一小时后他开始呕吐，选项A（嗓子痛）、选项C（流鼻涕）和选项D（呕吐）都属于尼古拉斯吃完蛋糕后的症状，故排除。选项B（发烧）原文未提及，故答案为B。

        2.【解析】C 细节题。根据文章第二段第四句可知，如果没有药，他可能会停止呼吸，故答案为C。选项A（头痛）和选项D（变得疯狂）原文均未提及，故排除。选项B（觉得要呕吐）是尼古拉斯过敏后的症状，但不是他不吃药会产生的直接结果，故排除。

        3.【解析】A 语义题。根据文章第三段最后两句可知，在一些学校食堂里，特别设置了无花生餐桌区，还有些学校，任何人都不允许携带任何含有花生的食品。由此可推断出，为了保护过敏的孩子，一些学校正在抵制花生制品，因此cracking down on的意思应为“取缔，抵制，镇压”。选项A（禁止，取缔）与cracking down on的意思相近，故答案为A。选项B（带来）、选项C（扔掉，丢弃）和选项D（把……收起，放好）均与cracking down on的意思不符，故排除。

        4.【解析】B 主旨题。文章第四段主要讲的是为了过敏学生的生命安全，学校应该禁止花生和花生制品，同时建议家长不要给学生带含有花生的午餐，故答案为B。选项A（人们可能会对一些花生制品过敏）和选项D（对花生过敏的人也应该避免花生油）均属于第三段的内容，故排除。选项C（花生酱三明治营养丰富）是第四段中对花生酱三明治受欢迎原因的解释，并不是第四段的主旨，故排除。

        5.【解析】D 细节题。根据文章最后一段第一句可知，在食物过敏网工作的安·穆尼奥斯弗隆指出，即使不是所有的学校都禁止花生，教师和学生应该有一个应急计划来应对任何过敏情况的发生，故答案为D。选项A（为父母准备有关过敏的资料）、选项B（准备大量的抗过敏药）和选项C（准备不同种类的三明治）原文均未提及，故排除。
