2019高考英语二轮阅读理解(三月强化训练10)及解析

‎2019高考英语二轮阅读理解(三月强化训练10)及解析 Donna is 19 years old and loves animals, which is why I’m always happy to leave my dog with her when I go on holiday. Donna also helps to train hunting dogs, but recently, her boyfriend told me, she returned home from a farm in tears after being told to hit some dogs.‎ ‎“She wasn’t being asked to hit them because they didn’t behave well,” he said. “She was told to punch these puppies with a closed fist simply to let them know who is boss.” Donna refused. Good for Donna. In my view, you hurt an animal for only two reasons: as a way to teach it an important lesson, such as not to run into the road; or because you like hurting animals.‎ Last summer, I attended a horse race. I don’t know much about horses, but I was alarmed when I saw a horse with a huge ulcer(溃疡) on its leg. “Surely this horse won’t race?” I asked. I was very surprised that nobody in the crowd seemed concerned.‎ The horse began the race, but later it fell heavily. It had broken its leg. The next thing I saw was its dead body in a bag, being driven past. No one seemed to care, except those who’d bet on it. I know people care for horse racing, but do they really care for horses? I doubt it.‎ Oh, but it’s tradition, I hear you say. Wouldn’t the world be a boring place if we didn’t occasionally hit, shoot and chase animals? Traditions are made by man and can be unmade. It was once acceptable to kill servants when their master died, to visit the mental hospitals to laugh at the patients, or to watch public execution(执行死刑). ‎ Nor should it be forgotten that in our progress to a more civilized world, animals have played an important role: they have fed us, carried us, worked for us, rescued us, died for us and sometimes just saved us from loneliness. Surely by now they deserve our kindness. At the very least, they deserve our respect.‎ 1. Donna was asked to hit the young dogs because __________.‎ A. they misbehaved B. their owner disliked them C. people on the farm enjoy hurting them D. it was a way to train them to obey people 2. What does the underlined word “punch” probably mean?‎ A. strike B. stroke C. punish D. pump ‎3. What’s the writer’s purpose in telling the readers the story about the horse?‎ ‎ A.

The writer cannot accept anyone who hits the animals.‎ C. It was a traditional practice to kill servants for their dead master.‎ D. The writer thinks it possible to change the traditions made by men. ‎ ‎5. What’s the best title of the passage?‎ ‎ A. No one cares for animals nowadays.‎ ‎ B. Let’s protect the endangered animals.‎ C. Show animals the respect they deserve.‎ ‎ D.

In Britain, people go to pubs and nightclubs to dance the old away, and to welcome in the new one at midnight.‎ In recent years, street parties have become more popular. Thousands of people gather in squares, main streets or on the river banks to listen to bands playing and to see fireworks displays.‎ For people who stay at home, most are attracted by the special, live New Year shows on TV. They are waiting for the countdown, along with the presenters, from 10 to 1 as the last second of the old year away and the bells of the New Year are rung. ‎ Scotland, people visit their neighbors and drink, dance on New Year' s Eve. If you' re invited to a Scottish home that night, it’s important to know what to bring with you: a lump of coal, some shortbread and some whisky.‎ The coal shows warmth, so you're wishing the people you visit will have enough heat in the coming year. The shortbread represents food, so you're hoping that the people will have enough to eat in the new year. Some Scots call whisky “the water of life", so when you hand over your bottle to your hosts, it means you want them to have enough to drink over the next 12 months.‎ And there' s one more key task you still have to perform if you can. ⑥The first person to knock on a neighbor' s door is supposed to be a tall, dark, and handsome man who will bring good luck to the household. But what if that's not you? Well, don' t ring the bell just yet. Wait a while and the right person is sure to turn up soon!‎ ‎1. What is the best title for this passage?‎ ‎ A. Seeing the old year off in Britain.‎ ‎ B. Celebrations of a Scottish New Year.‎ ‎ C. Visiting Scottish homes on New Year ‎ D. Sending good luck in the New Year.‎ ‎2.Why do visitors take things to a Scottish New Year' s Eve?‎ ‎ A. To share good food and warmth.‎ ‎ B. To help those poor families.‎ ‎ C. To send best wishes to the families.‎ ‎ D. To show richness and generosity.‎ C篇:1. B·文章主要讲述了英国人们庆祝新年旳活动方式,其中拜亲访友也在其中,所以最好旳标题是B;而A、C和D只是其中旳一部分,不能作为文章旳标题·‎ ‎2.
