‎2019版高考英语阅读理解一轮提升选练（15）‎ 李仕才 A ‎(2017·河南洛阳高三第一次统考)‎ All over the world mothers and fathers teach their children manners.Other children may have manners that are not like yours.There are all kinds of manners.‎ Many years ago，children who had good manners were seen and not heard.They kept quite quiet if grownups were talking. Today, wellmannered children have more freedom.‎ Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places. Suppose you are a visitor in the land‎ of ‎Mongolia. Some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud “burp(打嗝)” after you finish eating. Burping would show that you like your food. In some countries, if you give a loud burp, you are told to say“Excuse me, please.” In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat. What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing.Then he will talk to you.Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia.You should walk behind the other tents until you come to his tent.If you pass in front of the other tents，you will be asked into each one. The people will ask you to eat with them.And it is bad manners if you say no.‎ Manners are different all over the world.But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way.People need ways to show that they want to be friends.‎ ‎1．How did polite children behave many years ago?‎ A．By looking into adults’ eyes while talking.‎ B．By keeping silent while adults were talking.‎ C．By slipping into the house without being heard.‎ D．By not opening their mouths until spoken to.‎ ‎2．Which custom should we follow in order to look wellmannered?‎ A．Saying “Excuse me” on burping in Mongolia.‎ B．Inviting guests to dinner together in Polynesia.‎ C．Talking with a friend before he completes things in East Africa.‎ 10‎ D．Accepting an eating invitation in Arabia.‎ ‎3．What can we infer from the text?‎ A．Hear much，speak little.‎ B．Love me，love my dog.‎ C．When in Rome do as the Romans do.‎ D．Do what you ought to and come what can.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文主要介绍了世界上一些地方的礼仪。‎ ‎1．B　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的第二句可知，过去，在大人们说话时，儿童保持沉默是一种礼貌的行为。‎ ‎2．D　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的最后两句可知，接受阿拉伯人一起吃饭的邀请是礼貌的行为。‎ ‎3．C　解析：推理判断题。根据全文内容尤其是最后一段的第一句可推知，礼仪因地域而各有不同，因此最好的做法是入乡随俗。‎ B ‎(2015·河北七校高三联考)‎ It was something she had dreamed of since she was five.Finally，after years of training and intensive workouts，Deborah Duffey was going to compete in her first high school basketball game.The goals of becoming an outstanding player and playing college ball were never far from Deborah’s mind.‎ The game was against Mills High School.With 1 minute and 42 seconds left in the game，Deborah’s team led by one point.A player of Mills had possession of the ball，and Deborah ran to guard against her.As Deborah was running to block the player，her knee went out and she fell down on the court in burning pain.Just like that，Deborah’s season was over.‎ After suffering the bad injury，Deborah found that，for the first time in her life，she was in a situation beyond her control.Game after game，she could do nothing but sit on the sidelines watching others play the game that she loved so much.‎ 10‎ Injuries limited Deborah’s time on the court as she hurt her knees three more times in the next five years.She had to spend countless hours in a physical clinic to receive treatment.Her frequent visits there gave her a passion and respect for the profession.And Deborah began to see a new light in her life.‎ Currently as a senior in college，Deborah focuses on getting a degree in physical treatment.After she graduates，Deborah plans to use her knowledge to educate people how to best take care of their bodies and cope_with the feelings of hopelessness that she remembers so well.‎ ‎1．What is the best title for this passage?‎ A．A Painful Mistake B．Great Adventure C．A Lifelong Punishment D．A New Direction in Life ‎2．How did Deborah feel when she first hurt her knee?‎ A．Calm.　　　　　　　　　 B．Confused.‎ C．Ashamed.

How did it get started?‎ Winter: At first, Team Winter was formed to fight childhood obesity. When I was 8, I ran a race and raised $1,100 for that cause.

I’ve raised well past that — almost $500,000.‎ Scope: What goes through your mind when you run?‎ Winter: When I’m having a hard time during a race, I think about my dad. If he could deal with the pain of cancer, I can deal with any type of pain. He was a very friendly person. He was always smiling and very happy even when he had cancer.‎ Scope: Is your age ever an obstacle in your races?‎ Winter: I’ve been turned down by race directors who won’t let anyone younger than 16 or 18 compete. But Diana Nyad, the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage, told me, “Never let them tell you it can’t be done.” From then on I knew my age wasn’t the problem.‎ Scope: You’ve probably inspired lots of people too.‎ Winter: I’ve heard about kids doing projects like me. Once in a restaurant, a boy came up to my mom and me and told us his dad had cancer too. Now he’s competing in running for his dad. Hearing stories like that helps keep me going.‎ ‎1.

D。细节理解题。根据第一部分问答的At first, Team Winter was formed to fight childhood obesity可知，Winter创建Team Winter的最初目的是为肥胖儿童筹集善款。‎ ‎2. C。推理判断题。根据第二部分问答可知，如果Winter在比赛中遇到困难，她会想到父亲总是微笑地面对病痛。故正是父亲在病痛面前表现出的勇敢让Winter在困境中继续前进。‎ ‎3. A。推理判断题。从最后一部分问答的kids doing projects like me以及男孩为帮助父亲参加比赛的举动可知，Winter为他人树立了良好的榜样。‎ D ‎(2015·潍坊一模)‎ Can you imagine a world without chocolate?
