苏州市2014高考英语阅读理解完形填空及阅读类训练6答案及解析

苏州市2019高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练（6）（答案及解析）‎ ‎.阅读理解 Words：332　难度系数：★★　建议用时：7分钟 Having a husband creates an extra seven hours of housework each week for women.But for men，the picture is very different.The findings are part of a detailed study of housework trends，based on 2019 time diary data，conducted since 1968 at University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research.‎ It’s a wellknown pattern.There’s still a significant reallocation (重新分配) of labor that occurs at marriage—men tend to work more outside home，while women take on more of the household labor.Certainly there’re all kinds of individual differences here，but in general，this is what happens after marriage.And the situation gets worse for women when they have children.‎ Overall，the amount of housework done by the U．S.women has dropped considerably since 1976，while the amount of housework done by men has increased.In 1976，women did an average of 26 hours of housework a week，compared with about 17 hours in 2019.Men did about 6 hours of housework a week in 1976，compared with about 13 hours in 2019.‎ But when the researchers looked at just the last 10 years，comparing how much housework single men and women in their 20s did in 2019 with how much they did in 2019 if they stayed single versus (对于) if they got married，they found a slightly different pattern.Both the men and the women who got married did more housework than those who stayed single.Marriage is no longer a man’s path to less housework.‎ Single women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework— about 12 hours a week on average，while married women in their 60s and 70s did the most—about 21 hours a week.Men showed a somewhat different pattern.Older men did more housework than younger men，but single men did more in all age groups than married men.In addition，the number of children also works.‎ ‎1．What does the author mean by saying “But for men，the picture is very different.”in Paragraph 1 ?‎ A. The author referred to the picture inserted in the text.‎ B．Having a wife can reduce a husband’s housework.‎ C．Men often like different pictures compared with women.‎ D．Men or husbands are often very lazy at home.‎ 解析：选B。句意理解题。由文章大意可知，此处是指对于男性来说情况是不同的，这说明其情况与女性不一样，甚至相反。‎ ‎2．What is the purpose of the fourth paragraph?‎ A. To show the young people should work hard.‎ B．To show men and women all do more after marriage.‎ C．To tell readers the importance of marriage for men.‎ D．To show men and women are still unequal.‎ 解析：选B。作者意图题。根据文章第四段可知，不论男女，在结婚后所做的家务劳动都会增加，只不过女性增加的多而男性增加的少罢了。‎ ‎3．Which of the following charts shows the correct information according to the text?‎ 解析：选C。图表理解题。根据文章第三、四段的描述可知，选项C的图表中所提供的数字与本文所提供的数字一致。‎ ‎4．Which can be the best title for this passage?‎ A．Men and Women B．Marriage and Housework C．Men and Housework D．The History of Women 解析：选B。标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了结婚给男女在家务劳动的分工上带来的影响。‎ ‎*****************************************************结束 完型填空（8）‎ Today is Friday, the 29th of June.

Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum.‎ Why are you here? What is your purpose? Humans have sought to discover the meaning of life for a very long time. What we and our ancestors overlooked, however, is there is no one answer. The meaning of life is different for every individual.‎ Each person has his or her own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone else's. As you travel your life path, you will be presented with numerous lessons that you will need to learn in order to fulfill that purpose. The lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these lessons is a key to discovering and fulfilling the meaning and connection of your own life. ‎ As you travel through your lifetime, you may encounter challenging lessons that others don't have to face, while others spend years struggling with challenges that you don't need to deal with. You may never know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage, while your friends suffer through bitter arguments and painful divorces, just as you cannot be sure why you struggle ‎ financially while your peers enjoy abundance. The only thing you can count on for certain is that you specifically need to learn; whether we choose to learn them or not is entirely up to you. ‎ The challenge here, therefore, is to align(与……保持一致)yourself with your own unique path by learning individual lessons. This is one of the most difficult challenges you will be faced with in your lifetime, as sometimes your path will be completely different from others. But, remember, don't compare your path to the people around you and focus on the difference between their lessons and yours. You need to remember that you will only be faced with lessons that you are capable of learning and are specific to your own growth.‎ Our sense of fairness is the expectation of equity—the assumption that all things are equal and that justice will always prevail. Life is not, in fact, fair, and you may indeed have a more difficult lift path than others around you, deserved or not. Everyone's circumstances are unique, and everyone needs to handle his or her own circumstances differently. If you want to move toward calm, you will be required to move out the comparing phrase of “it's not fair ”. Focusing on the unfairness of circumstances keeps you comparing yourself with others rather than appreciating your own special uniqueness. You miss out on learning your individual lessons by distracting yourself with feeling of bitterness and anger.‎ ‎1. According to the passage, how can the meaning of your life be realized?‎ A．Having the same opinions as others. ‎ B．Taking the distinct path from others.‎ C．Learning the lessons presented to you. ‎ D．Doing the different things from others.‎ ‎2.

They feel heavy pressures(压力) from their parents. Most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a wonderful life in the future. Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students who are not gifted(有天赋的) enough. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hope. Such students felt that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they don’t want to go to school any longer. They become dropouts.‎ It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers’ work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents serif their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekends — they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense of the world.‎ Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students’ hair to their clothes and things in their school bags. Child psychologists(心理学家) now think that such strict rules are harmful to the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents.‎ ‎1. “Dropouts” are those who _______.‎ A. make troubles in and out of schools B. go about or stay home instead of being at school C. try hard but always fails in the exams D. lose hope and give up some of their subjects ‎2.

The Pressures on the Students in Japan ‎ ‎【答案与解析】这是一篇关于日本学生所受到的沉重的压力的文章。家长的过高期望，日本学校严格的制度都使得一些学生丧失了上学的兴趣，甚至不懂得如何和他人相处。‎ ‎1.
