A Bite of China is a serious documentary providing a unique view of Chinese as well as the relations between people and food and between people and society from the view of food. The touching documentary reminds some people of their mother, and makes some realize that every grain comes from hard and laborious work. Some people see patriotism (爱国精神) in the documentary, and some consider it a great cultural export. How did this documentary achieve a great influence beyond its subject matter in such a short time? “It is not empty propaganda (宣传) about China’s splendid food culture. Instead, it shows the techniques used in making food and their production process as well as the lives of ordinary people, thus striking a chord (共鸣) with the audience,” an Internet user said. The success of the documentary should be attributed to sincerity and reality. Nowadays, many works of art that have high investment, high technology, and magnificent scenes lack nothing but sincerity and reality. A Bite of China shows that a commercial documentary promoting patriotism can be full of touching details, that the emotions of ordinary Chinese people should be exhibited even in publicizing China overseas, and that even a completely commercial program can achieve both artistic and commercial success. “We made this documentary with our respect and love for food,” said director Chen Xiaoqing. Being sincere is the most important thing for artists because they cannot move others unless they themselves are first moved, and cannot convince others unless they themselves are first convinced. Sincerity is the “secret” for making this documentary so popular, and every cultural creator should learn from its success. 1. The underlined words “be attributed to” in paragraph 4 can be replaced by . be caused by B. contribute to C. be devoted to D. result in 2. What can you mainly find in A Bite of China? A. Relations between people and food. B. Real lives of all Chinese people. C. Patriotic stories of Chinese people. D. Process of preparing food. 3. What can we infer from the passage? A. The documentary is so successful that no one can surpass it. B. Different people can get different messages from the documentary. C. The documentary should have shown China’s splendid food culture.

The influence of the documentary. D. The popularity of the documentary. 参考答案 1—4、AABB 2015 高考英语阅读理解（社会生活、说理议论）【2015·四川】C Across Britain, burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers, But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year. Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours, they would earn as much as ＄172,000 a year. The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income ￡30,000 more than the Prime Minister earns. By analysing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week,40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate and 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18,it found that ,on most days, mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm. To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at ￡48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jobs”,with psychologist（心理学家）a close second. It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional（情感 的） demand as the hardest thing about motherhood. Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends. The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother’s Day. The emotional ,physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing（投入）in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent. 38.How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister? A.￡30,000. B.￡142,000. C.￡172,000. D.￡202,000. 39.The biggest challenge for most mothers is from. A. emotional demand B. low pay for work C. heavy workload D. lack of training 40.What is stressed in the last paragraph? A. Mothers’ importance shows in family all year long. B. The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile. C. Mothers’ devotion to children can hardly be calculated. D. Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return. 41.What can we conclude from the study? A. Mothers’ working hours should be largely reduced. B. Mothers should balance their time for work and rest. C. Mothers’ labour is of a higher value than it is realised. D .Mothers should be freed from housework for social life. 40.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段的 The emotional ,physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness.可知， 选择 B，指母亲付出的牺牲是巨大的，但是又是值得的。 41.C 推理判断题。根据文章第一段的 But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.可知，作者认为母亲的重要性应该得到更多的关注，故选择 C。 【考点定位】 考查说明文阅读 【名师点睛】本篇是一篇说明文，说明了母亲这一职业的伟大。阅读说明文的重点在于读懂它说明的事理。 说明文阅读中要求考生要特别注意一些数字等，如第 38 题。除此之外，还需要抓住关键词、中心词，迅速 在文中进行定位，解决细节题，如 39、40 题。最后，对文章的内容要了解，通常主题在第一段最后出现， 所以考生要善于把握主题。 2016 高考选练----阅读理解。 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 Bullis School Visual (视觉的) and Performing Arts Program is designed to advance a student’s ability through artistic expression.
