德阳市2019高考英语二轮短文类训练（17） 及答案或解析 ‎【黄冈中学期中测试】‎ Doomed beauties such as Cleopata and Manilyn Monroe were far from alone in their misery. Very attractive people tend to form partnerships that are less stable and satisfying than those enjoyed by plain_Janes .‎ According to the research by Dr John Blaine of the University‎ of ‎Southern California, relationships between people whose professions largely depend on their appearance, such as models or actors, tend to end much faster than those between lawyers, doctors and students.‎ Blaine‎ said the beautiful felt different from children. They are treated as special, which may create both arrogance (傲慢)and insecurity. All too often, beauty can be used as an alternative to education. Often they are pushed out of their class or town, told to go off and make their fortune in Hollywood or London and, when the majority fail, they have few talents to make a living.‎ Blaine added that beautiful people score poorly on the “big five”—the key factors American experts consider when helping distressed couples. These are neuroticism(神经过敏)，including anger and anxiety; extroversion(性格外向)；openness to new experiences; agreeableness; conscientiousness, and sticking by agreements they have made. Attractive people often see no reason to try to change until their looks start to fade.‎ Krista Sutherlanf, of the University of California Los Angeles, said partnerships that appeared to be perfect from the outside, such as the former “dream teams” of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise or Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley, where backgrounds and aspirations(抱负) are often shared ，did not necessarily lead to happiness.‎ ‎1．What can we infer from the first sentence of the passage?‎ A．Beautiful women always felt lonely.‎ B．Beautiful women were always alone.‎ C．Many beautiful women didn’t end up with a happy life.‎ D．Beautiful women always lived a happy life.‎ ‎2．The underlined phrase “plain Janes” in the passage refers to“________”．‎ A．ordinarylooking women B．women called Jane C．common people D．attractive women ‎3．We can infer from the passage that________.‎ A．Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley were a couple B．Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were very satisfied with their life C．when they fail in Hollywood, the beautiful have little trouble in making a living D．the marriage of the beautiful often lasts long ‎4．Which of the following is the best title?‎ A．Five key factors affecting the partnership B．Beauties are doomed to fail in love C．Beautiful or common? D．The beauties are different ‎【解题导语】　本文为议论文，作者论证了这样一个观点：美女并不幸福。‎ ‎1. 答案C 解析：考查推理判断。第一段说漂亮的人，其partnership 往往不如普通人的稳定和让人满意，由此判断，文章开头说“克莱奥帕特拉和玛丽莲•梦露等美女的悲惨命运绝非个例”意在表明“很多美女的生活都不幸福”。‎ ‎2. 答案A 解析：考查词义猜测题。从语境看，画线部分的plain Janes 指与前面提到的美女相对的、相貌平常的女性，因此选A。‎ ‎3. 答案A 解析：考查推理判断。最后一段说，外界看上去很完美的关系，比如……未必最终有幸福的结局。再结合上文论述可判断Hugh Grant和Elizabeth Hurley是夫妻关系，故选A，其他选项都与文章内容不符。‎ ‎4. 答案B 解析：考查主旨大意。文章主要论述了美女命运多舛的观点，并分析了其中的原因，故B项最适合为本文标题。‎ ‎****************************************************结束 完形填空—记叙文 ‎ A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. He had wanted a beautiful 1 in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well 2 it,he told him that was all he wanted.‎ ‎ As Graduation Day came near, the young man expected j that his father had bought the gift. 4 ,on the morning of his graduation,his father called him into his own 5 .

With tears,he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. His father had carefully 18 ‎ ‎ a verse(诗), Mat thew 7-11, "And if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Heavenly Father which is in Heaven, give to those who ask him.'?"‎ As he read those words,a car key 19 from the back of the Bible.
