只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 1 题型组合练(十五) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2017·山东实验中学诊断三) Can you believe that there used to be a consensus in society that opposed the writing of novels by authoresses？Clearly this restriction must have operated at a time when there was no equality of opportunity for women.Amazingly，it was a generally held view only 100 years ago in England.In a strange contradiction，this period produced a couple of most courageous and gifted authoresses.Here are three of them. Jane Austen (1775～1817) All the six completed novels of Jane Austen deal with the problems and limitations of women’s choices.At her time，the only respectable “career” for a woman was to marry，so the dilemma of her heroines’ was also to marry but for love.Besides the content，the appeal of her works also lies in her refreshingly light and ironic style. Charlotte Bronte (1816～1855) Charlotte Bronte’s novels were revolutionary for the explicit way they described women struggling against their restricted roles in society.Her heroines are outspoken in expressing their feelings，while demonstrating honesty and conscience in their choices.Her novel，Jane Eyre，published under a man’s name，was very successful when it came out.The book was a revelation after the more reserved feelings expressed in Jane Austen’s novels. George Eliot (1819～1880) 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 2 Her novels examined the morally ambiguous concessions people make in their lives in order to succeed.In one of her books，Silas Marner，the hero discovers a little girl rejected by her own father.Her father did so for fear of losing his second wife’s love—a mistake for which the couple both suffer. 语篇解读 本文向读者介绍了三位著名的女作家：简·奥斯汀、夏洛蒂·勃朗特与乔 治·艾略特的小说风格。 1．Why does the author describe the authoresses as “courageous”？ A．They were honest in expressing their opinions. B．They broke the social restrictions on authoresses. C．There were few good men writers at their time. D．They fought against the law to publish their books. 答案 B 解析 细节理解题。根据文章首段第一、二句“Can you believe that there used to be a consensus in society that opposed the writing of novels by authoresses？Clearly this restriction must have operated at a time when there was no equality of opportunity for women.”可知，当时的社会是限制女性作家发展的，然而她们的出现体现出对社会偏见 的反抗，因此作者认为她们是勇敢的。故选 B 项。 2．The appeal of Jane Austen’s books mainly lies in .

Such technologies certainly have their place.But Secretary Duncan is threatening to light a fire to a triedandtrue technology—good old paper—that has been the foundation for one of the great educational systems on the planet.And while ereaders and multimedia may seem appealing，the idea of replacing an effective learning platform with a widely hyped(炒作) but still unproven one is extremely dangerous. An expert on reading，Maryanne Wolf，has recently begun studying the effects of digital reading on learning，and so far the results are mixed.She worries that Internet reading could be such a source of distractions(分散注意力) for the student that it may cancel out most other potential benefits of a Weblinked ， elearning environment.And while it’s true that the hightech industry has sponsored large amounts of research on the potential benefits of Webbased learning，not enough time has passed for longitudinal(纵向的) studies to demonstrate the full effects. In addition，digitalreading supporters claim that lightweight ebooks benefit students’backs and save schools money.But the rolling backpack seems to have solved the weight problem，and the surprising costs to outfit every student with an ereader， provide technical support and pay for regular software updates promise to make the etextbook a very pricey choice. As both a teacher who uses paper textbooks and a student of urban history，I can’t help but wonder what parallels exist between my own field and this sudden，wholesale abandonment of the technology of paper. 语篇解读 文章从不同角度及不同立场探讨了数字化学习技术是否会取代课本。 4．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．A triedandtrue technology is paper，long used in educational system. B．Digital learning technologies will replace the paper textbooks sooner or later.

The Golden Gate Strait is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean.The Golden Gate Bridge links the city of San Francisco with Marin County， California.Planning for the bridge began in the 1920s when the area around San Francisco was growing.People living in the area needed another way to get to the city besides small ferries(渡船)． Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer for the project.Work began in 1934.Mr Strauss demanded the strongest safety protections in the history of bridge building.These included the first use of “hard hats” to protect the workers’ heads and special glasses to protect their eyes. A special safety net was suspended(挂) under the bridge.This net saved the lives of 19 men during the construction.However,11 other workers were killed when they fell from the bridge through the net.Still，this was a new safety record for the time. The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937.It extends 1,280 meters across the water.The total length is 2,737 meters.It was the largest suspension bridge(吊桥) in the world until 1964.That is when the Verrazano Narrows Bridge opened in New York City.Today， the Golden Gate Bridge is the ninth longest suspension bridge in the world. 语篇解读 文章主要讲述了金门大桥名称的由来以及它的建造。 8．The Golden Gate Bridge was named after .

The production of beef is more damaging to the environment than that of any other food we consume.Raising large numbers of cattle requires the production of large amounts of food for the animals.It’s estimated that producing one pound of beef requires seven pounds of feed. Land use is also a problem.If the cattle are freerange cattle，large areas of 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 7 land are required for them to live on.This has led to disastrous forest cutting and the loss of rare plants and animal species，particularly in tropical rain forests in Central and South America. Another problem specific to beef production is methane emissions( 甲 烷 排 放)．Although many people are aware of the damaging effects of carbon dioxide，they don’t realize methane’s global warming potential is 25 times worse，making it a more dire problem. Unfortunately，beef consumption is growing rapidly.This is the result of simple supply and demand factors.Specifically，there are two main causes of demand that are encouraging the production of more supply.First，the increase in the world population means there are more people to consume meat.The second factor is socioeconomic advancement.As citizens in developing nations become financially stable，they can afford to buy more meat. Therefore，one way to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions is for people around the world to significantly cut down on the amount of beef they eat. 语篇解读 本文介绍了在牛肉的生产过程中，饲养牛需要消耗大量食物，占用大片土地， 牛体内的食物消化又会产生大量的甲烷并会释放到大气中，从而危害环境，因此作者呼吁 为了保护环境人们应减少牛肉的消耗。 12．Which of the following is TRUE?

A．more people are in demand of beef B．developing countries raise more cattle C．more land is available to raise cattle D．the cost of raising cattle is relatively low 答案 A 解析 推理判断题。根据第五段第二句“This is the result of simple supply and demand factors.”以及下文中分析的两个原因可知，牛肉消耗的增加是供求关系的结果。人口的增 加以及发展中国家的收入增加，使得人们可以购买更多肉制品，从而导致牛肉消耗的增加。 故选 A 项。 15．The author writes this article to . A．describe the booming of the beef production B．emphasize the advantages of beef production C．condemn the deforestation of the rain forest D．argue for a decrease in beef consumption 答案 D 解析 写作意图题。作者分析了牛肉生产过程对环境的危害，在最后一段提出了自己的观点， 呼吁人们减少对牛肉的消耗，从而保护环境。故选 D 项。 Ⅱ.七选五 (2017·河北唐山一模) Everyone makes mistakes. 16 Making a mistake at work，however，can be more serious.It may cause problems for your employer and even affect the company’s bottom line.Evil consequences will finally come down to you.Simply correcting your mistake and moving on may not be an option.When you make a mistake at work your career may depend on what you do next.
