必修四 Unit 2 高考拆组训练 阅读理解组块专练——练速度 ‎(限时：30分钟)‎ Ⅰ.阅读理解 A ‎(2019·杭州质检)Recently I and other Red Cross volunteers met a group of victims from Hurricane Katrina. We were there, as mental health professionals, to offer “psychological first aid” and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence. As we walked in the gate to the shelter, we were greeted with a burst of gratitude (感激) from the first person we met. I felt appreciated, but also guilty, because I hadn't really done anything yet.‎ I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend's mother passed away unexpectedly. I received a call saying she had just passed away. I wanted to rush down there immediately, but didn't want to intrude (打扰) on this very personal period of sadness. I was torn about what to do. Another friend with me then said, “Just go. Just be there.” I did, and I will never regret it.‎ Since then, I have not hesitated to be in the presence of others. Once I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDSrelated dying. He was not awake, and obviously unaware of others' presence. However, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. His family, playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.‎ In my life, I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence. In it, none of us are truly alone. It not only is something we give to others but also changes me for the better.‎ ‎1．Why were the hurricane victims grateful to the author?‎ A．He built shelters for them.‎ B．He gave immediate first aid to them.‎ C．He came to stay with them.‎ D．He brought mental health professionals.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第一段的第二句可知，因为“我”在他们受灾时和他们在一起，所以他们感激“我”，故C项正确。‎ ‎2．What did the author do when his friend's mother passed away?‎ A．He hesitated over whether to go.‎ B．He went to his friend's at once.‎ C．He knew what to do instantly.‎ D．He decided not to disturb his friend.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I wanted to rush down there immediately ...I was torn about what to do.”可知，“我”想要立即去朋友那里，但又不愿意去打扰朋友，据此可知，当朋友的母亲去世时，“我”犹豫是否要去朋友那里。‎ ‎3．What has the author learned from his experience?‎ A．A friend in need is a friend indeed.‎ B．Being present can make a big difference.‎ C．The family harmony is the happiest thing in life.‎ D．Being a volunteer can make one's life more significant.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据最后一段的前两句“In my life, I am repeatedly ...are truly alone.”并结合第二段的第一句可知，从自己的经历中“我”意识到了“到场”的重要意义，故B项正确。‎ B ‎(2019·温州质量检测)After shopping for deals in stores on “Black Friday”， or online on “Cyber Monday”， Americans and people worldwide are preparing for newly popular “Giving Tuesday”. Starting in 2012, now the global event that is celebrated annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving is the brainchild of 92nd Street Y, a cultural center in New York City and the United Nations Foundation.‎ As the name indicates，“Giving Tuesday” is meant to restart the charitable season and therefore observed by raising funds for local nonprofits and schools, organizing food and clothing drives, and conducting random acts of kindness. In 2015，700,000 people from 71 countries came together to donate D|S116.7 million in cash. An additional D|S1.08 million was spent on gifts.‎ While the easiest way to participate is by donating to your favorite charity, this day can be celebrated in many other ways too. You can give back by volunteering at your local shelter or food bank, or even by donating blood. If all else fails, a purchase from the growing number of organizations that give a portion of their sales to charity will do the trick.‎ But perhaps the best way to celebrate the day is by helping those nearest and dearest to you. Assist a family member with a simple chore like folding laundry, cooking dinner, or even reading to a younger sibling. No matter what you do, be sure to share your good deed on social media and inspire others to celebrate “Giving Tuesday” as well!‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了Giving Tuesday(“给予星期二”)这项慈善活动的初衷和做法，号召人们通过做各种力所能及的活动来献爱心。‎ ‎4．Which of the following has the shortest history?‎ A．Cyber Monday.　　　　　 B．Giving Tuesday.‎ C．Black Friday. D．Thanksgiving Day.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知，Giving Tuesday出现在Black Friday和Cyber Monday之后；再根据第一段第二句可知，Giving Tuesday是2012年才出现的，而Thanksgiving Day(感恩节)的历史非常悠久。故答案选B。‎ ‎5．What's the main purpose of “Giving Tuesday”？‎ A．To persuade more people to shop online.‎ B．To make Thanksgiving Day enjoyable.‎ C．To encourage more people to do charity.‎ D．To get voluntary work better known.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词purpose定位到文章的第二段。根据第二段第一句可知，这项活动是为了重启慈善季，募集资金、食物、衣服等帮助有需要的人们。故答案选C。 ‎ ‎6．Why does the author advise sharing good deeds on social media?‎ A．To donate money to local schools.‎ B．To keep a record of one's experience.‎ C．To help people make new friends.‎ D．To make “Giving Tuesday” more popular.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词sharing定位到文章的最后一段。根据最后一段最后一句可知，作者主张把做的好事共享到社交媒体上，是为了鼓励其他人来参与“给予星期二”活动。故答案选D。‎ ‎7．Which section of a website does the text probably come from?‎ A．Business. B．Lifestyle.‎ C．Education. D．Culture.‎ 解析：选D　文章出处题。文章着重介绍了一项慈善活动Giving Tuesday，这不属于生意、生活方式及教育，而属于文化风俗类，故答案选D。‎ C ‎(2019·宁波模拟)I used to believe courtesy was a thing of the past. Very seldom have I encountered a courteous human being in this modern era.‎ Recently, I had to change my thinking, when I came face to face with just such a human being in a coffee place, with my two daughters. The place was crowded as usual and we had to climb steep (陡的) stairs in order to find an empty table. After enjoying coffee and snacks, we went down the narrow stairs, where there was hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down.‎ Just as I was in the middle of the stairs, a man entered the main entrance of the restaurant which was right in front of the staircase (楼梯). I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man going up. I kept coming down as fast as I could. My daughters were ‎ already down, looking up at me worriedly, hoping I would reach them before the stranger started walking up the stairs, knowing I was a nervous sort.‎ Nearly reaching them, I noticed the man still standing near the door. I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open. I looked back, thinking he was still at the door, deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place. I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time. I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt bad that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up.‎ Such well mannered people are hard to find these days when pushing is very common in our advanced but aggressive society. We applauded for his chivalry (彬彬有礼)．‎ 语篇解读：在这个忙碌的现代社会，彬彬有礼、体贴他人的品质变得尤为珍贵。作者讲述了自己经历的一件事情，并赞扬了这种良好的品质。‎ ‎8．What is the meaning of the underlined word “courtesy” in Paragraph 1?‎ A．A brave action.　　　　　B．Sacrifice spirit.‎ C．A considerate action. D．Selfish behavior.‎ 解析：选C　词义猜测题。根据下文故事中的男人为作者让路并且开门可推测出，这是一种体贴的行为，故选C项。‎ ‎9．What did the author think of the man at the first sight of him？　‎ A．He was in a hurry.‎ B．He would wait for her.‎ C．He would pass her rudely.‎ D．He was a man with good manners.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man going up.”可知，作者本认为这个男人会粗鲁地挤开她上楼梯，故选C项。‎ ‎10．What can we learn about the man from Paragraph 4?‎ A．He might be a waiter of the café.‎ B．He might have an urgent business to do.‎ C．He loved a daughter of the author.‎ D．He would hold the door open for all.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time.”以及下文谈到她们都来不及对那个男人说一声谢谢可推知，那个男人上楼梯，一次上两级台阶，应该是有急事要做，故选B项。‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Everyone dreams. If you've ever tried to figure out the meaning of a strange dream, you're not alone. Humans have been trying to make sense of dreams since recorded history.‎ ‎ __1__ Here are some of the findings.‎ ‎__2__ People with great creativity are more likely to dream about unusual settings and about blocks in the natural world, such as a log or a rock they can't get around. ‎ You've got a heart problem. People who have frequent nightmares may be significantly more likely to suffer from an irregular heartbeat or chest pain. If you have those problems, it's more difficult for you to breathe at night. __3__‎ You're avoiding something. Do you dream about being followed by a stranger, a monster, or a giant tidal wave? This could indicate that you're afraid to deal with something in your daily life.__4__‎ You'll have a good result in a test. Students whose performance improved were those who had dreamed about the maze (迷宫) during the sleep. __5__ This improves learning and problemsolving skills.‎ Despite the fact that technology has vastly expanded our understanding of dreaming, much of what occurs when we're asleep remains as it has always been: a mystery.‎ A．How creative you are.‎ B．Dreaming may strengthen memories.‎ C．What kind of problem solver you are.‎ D．What can our dreams tell about ourselves?‎ E．How can we understand better about ourselves?‎ F．That explains why you cannot have a sound sleep.‎ G．Ask yourself what issue or emotion you're faced with.‎ ‎1．选D　根据空后的“Here are some of the findings.”及下文介绍的通过做梦分析自身的内容可知，D项“我们的梦能告诉关于我们自己的什么？”符合语境。‎ ‎2．选A　根据空处所在的位置及文章的结构可知，空处为该段的主题句；结合空后的内容可知，有创造力的人更有可能梦到不寻常的场景和自然界中的障碍，比如他们无法避开的原木或石头。据此可知，该段主要说明了梦能反映人们的创造力，故A项正确。‎ ‎3．选F　根据前一句“If you have those problems, it's more difficult for you to breathe at night.”可知，如果你有这些问题，晚上呼吸就会更困难。据此可知，F项“这就解释了你为什么不能睡好觉”承接上文，符合语境。‎ ‎4．选G　根据前一句“This could indicate that you're afraid to deal with something in your daily life.”可知，这可能表明你害怕在日常生活中处理一些事情。故G项“问问你自己，你面临的问题或情绪是什么”符合语境。‎ ‎5．选B　根据空处后一句“This improves learning and problemsolving skills.”可知，这提高了学习和解决问题的技能。据此可知，B项“做梦可以增强人的记忆力”符合语境。‎
