2018届二轮复习 阅读理解典题10篇训练 【一】 The brown bear My wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly. Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forwards to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back—the sign(迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger. I held my camera tripod(三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long. Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear. The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break. Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five or six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling(扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back towards the forest, before returning for another attack—the first time I felt panic. Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I'm proud that my family remained clearheaded when panic could have led to a very different outcome. 60. The brown bear approached the family in order to ________. A. catch shore birds B. start an attack C. protect the children D. set up a barrier for itself 61. The bear finally went away after it ________. A. felt safe B. got injured C. found some food D. took away the camera 62. The writer and his family survived mainly due to their ________. A. pride B. patience C. calmness D. cautiousness 【要点综述】 本文是一篇故事,介绍的是“我”和全家人在海滩上拍照时突遇一头棕熊的遭遇。作者和熊进行了搏斗,最后棕熊感觉他们没有威胁时,返回了森林。 60. B 细节理解题。A项为无效信息,因为文中没有提到棕熊捕杀鸟类的事情;根据第二段第二句“An aggressive bear will usually rush forwards to frighten away its enemy…”可推知B为正确答案。 61. A 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat…”可知,棕熊是因为没有了威胁才走的,也就是感到了安全。B、C、D选项都是文中没有提到的信息,为无效信息。 62. C 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段内容“I'm proud that my family remained clearheaded when panic could have led to a very different outcome.”可知,他们全家保持了头脑清晰(clearheaded),若非如此,可能结果就迥异了。所以选C。 【二】 It was Mother's Day morning last year and I was doing shopping at our local supermarket with my fiveyearold son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock. Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it's not much fun falling over in front of everyone.” At the front of the supermarket, a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,” he said. I was amazed that he'd come up with this sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can't take your money for such a wonderful gesture.” By now paramedics(急救人员) had arrived, and were attending to the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her. Instead I gave the flower to the woman's husband and told him, “My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.” At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother's Day to you.” The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile. 56.What does the author intend to tell us? A.One can never be too careful. B.Actions speak louder than words. C.Love begins with a little smile. D.A small act of kindness brings a great joy. 57.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson. B.Tenyson's idea of buying a flower gained his mother's support. C.Tenyson's care for the elderly woman puzzled the flower seller. D.The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson's gesture. 58.The underlined word “intimidated” in the fourth paragraph probably means “________”. A.astonished B.struck C.frightened D.excited 59.What would be the best title for the passage? A.Flower power B.Mother's Day C.An accidental injury D.An embarrassing moment 【要点综述】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了去年母亲节的早上,“我”带着五岁大的儿子购物要离开时,一位老太太在超市入口处摔倒了,流了很多血。这时儿子提议去超市前面的慈善义卖处给这位老太太买朵花,安慰她一下。后来,作者请老太太的丈夫转交了花并转达了孩子对她的关爱之心,老人非常高兴。 56.D 推理判断题。A项意为“一个人无论怎样小心都不过分”;B项意为“事实胜于雄辩”;C项意为“爱开始于微笑”;D项意为“一个小小的善行会带来巨大的喜悦”。综合全文可知,D项最符合文章主旨。 57.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As we were leaving, we found…on the concrete.”可知,A项是错误的;根据第三段中的“I was amazed that he'd come up with this sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller…”可知,B项是正确的;根据第三段中的最后一句可知,卖花的人非常认同作者母子的做法,故C项是错误的;根据最后一段可知,老太太并没有感动得落泪,故D项是错误的。 58.C 词义猜测题。根据文章第四段中的“He said he was just too scared to go up to her.”可知,儿子被鲜血和医生救助的场景吓到了,他害怕了,故选择C项。astonished 惊讶的,震惊的;struck被打击的;excited激动的,兴奋的。 59.A 主旨大意题。B项只是个时间点,在本文中并没有详尽表述;C项只是文中的一个小细节;D项在文中没有具体描述。综合全文可知,只有A项概括了全文的事实和主旨,故选择A项。 【三】 Walt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. However, he cannot take the credit for creating other wellloved characters, such as Cinderella and Snow White. They are almost automatically associated with Disney because Disney turned old fables(寓言) into cartoon movies. The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know today. It started off with the girl mourning her mother's death and going to her tomb three times a day. In addition, there were only birds that helped Cinderella; there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice, nor was there mention of a horse and carriage. The stepsisters were cruel: they always threw Cinderella's food into the ashes of the fire and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence(因此) her name. In the original story, the king's ball actually lasted for three days. With the help of the birds, the girl, beautifully dressed, danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her. However, she broke away from him to rush back home each night. On the last night, the prince placed something sticky on the stairs; as Cinderella made her escape, a shoe got stuck on it. Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant: when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fitted the shoe, the wicked(邪恶的) stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe. The daughter did as told. So the prince took her away to be his bride. But, when they passed the tomb of Cinderella's mother, the birds called out to the prince, “Turn and peep, there's blood within the shoe; The shoe is too small, the true bride waits for you.” Realizing he had been tricked, the prince returned the daughter to her mother; the other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe, with the same result. Only Cinderella's foot fitted perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her. The story ends with the wedding day: as Cinderella's two stepsisters followed her, pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the king's riches, two birds flew by and plucked(啄) out their eyes. Because of their wickedness and falsehood, they had to spend the rest of their days blind. The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version. Thank goodness Disney made such changes; it indeed was a wise move. 60.What does the underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refer to? A.Such wonderful things. B.Other wellloved characters. C.Old fables. D.Cartoon movies. 61.How did Cinderella get her name? A.The birds came up with it. B.It was given by Disney. C.It came from the word “ash”. D.She got it from her mother. 62.Which of the following is TRUE according to the original story? A.Helpful mice got Cinderella a beautiful dress. B.The ball was held to celebrate the prince's wedding. C.Cinderella left her shoe on the stairs on purpose. D.The birds told the prince that he had been cheated. 63.The moral of the original story is that ________. A.a wicked person cannot escape punishment B.a devoted person certainly deserves respect C.a wellbehaved child earns a great reward D.a dishonest child cannot get mother love 64.What does the author think of the Disney version? A.Excellent. B.Ordinary. C.Dull. D.Ridiculous. 【要点综述】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了最初的《灰姑娘》的故事情节与Walt Disney依据此小说而改编的卡通电影之间的异同点。 60.B 代词指代题。依据第一段和其中的“However, he cannot…”可知,“They”不可能指代A、C、D项,而是指代上文出现的wellloved characters。 61.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“…and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence(因此) her name.”可知选择C项。 62.D 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可知A项错误;根据第四段第一句可知B项错误;根据第四段的第四句可知C项错误;根据第五段和第六段可知D项正确。 63.A 推理判断题。综合全文,尤其是第六段可知,邪恶的继母和继姐都受到了惩罚,故选择A项。 64.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,作者认为Disney的改编非常好,故选择A项。 【四】 It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth(收费站). “I'm paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.” It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend's refrigerator: “Practise random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down. Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she'd taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn't know where it came from or what it really meant. Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days. “Here's the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness_can_build_on_itself_as_much_as_violence_can.” The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours! 31. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her? A. She knew the car drivers well. B. She wanted to show kindness. C. She hoped to please others. D. She had seven tickets. 32. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she ________. A. thought it was beautifully written B. wanted to know what it really meant C. decided to write it on a warehouse wall D. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom 33. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage? A. Judy Foreman. B. Natalie Smith. C. Alice Johnson. D. Anne Herbert. 34. Which of the following statements is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence above? A. Kindness and violence can change the world. B. Kindness and violence can affect one's behaviour. C. Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves. D. Kindness and violence can shape one's character. 35. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. People should practise random kindness to those in need. B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others. C. People should practise random kindness to strangers they meet. D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver. 【要点综述】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了在收费站,一位女士给六位司机付款的善举。因为她在朋友家里的冰箱上看到了一句关于善举的美句,她认为非常有意义,促使她去帮助别人。并且此美句激发了更多的人来做善事,把爱心传递下去。 31. B 推理判断题。根据第二段的“Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend's refrigerator: ‘Practise random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.’ The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.”可知Natalie因为被一句话所感动,想要传递爱心。故选B。 32. A 细节理解题。根据第三段的“‘I thought it was beautiful,’she said…”可知Judy Foreman是由于被此美句所打动,所以将它记下来。故选A。 33. D 细节理解题。根据第四段的“…Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.”可知这句话的原创者是Anne Herbert。故选D。 34. C 句意猜测题。画线句子中的build on和选项中的单词reproduce属于同义转换,意为“扩大,扩展”。故选C。 35. B 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later.”可知,当人们受到别人的帮助时,很有可能会将这样的善意以各种形式传递给其他人。故选B。D选项只表示接受帮助的人会将善意回报给帮助他的人,与原文意思不符。 【五】 The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching. And I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt: “The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky. “If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.” I took my puree and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn't he as busy as the others? In the dentist's office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one. When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, "Don't worry. The dentist is very good. " "How long do I have to wait for him?" I asked impatiently. "Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork," the assistant said. "The artwork?" I was puzzled. The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words. What a relief! 56. Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling that morning? A. Cheerful. B. Nervous. C. Satisfied. D. Upset. 57. What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?[来源:Zxxk.Com] A. The dentist's agreeing to treat her at very short notice. B. The dentist's being as busy as the other dentists. C. The surroundings of the dentist's office. D. The laughing assistant of the dentist. 58. Why did the author suddenly smile? A. Because the dentist came at last. B. Because she saw a picture on the ceiling. C. Because she could relax in the chair. D. Because the assistant kept comforting her. 59. What did the author learn from her experience most probably? A. Strike while the iron is hot. B. Have a good word for one's friend. C. Put oneself in other's shoes. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,题材是生活故事类。作者讲述了自己牙疼去看牙医的经历。牙医为了减轻病人看病时的痛苦,在天花板上设计了一幅美术作品让病人欣赏,由此作者感悟到:要设身处地为他人着想。 【解析】 56. D。推理判断题。难度:中等。题干关键词为that morning,定位第一段。根据The morning had been a disaster…Her words still hurt.(那天早上是一场灾难。我牙疼而且一直与朋友争吵。她的话仍然伤人。)可知作者很心烦苦恼。D. upset“心烦的”符合题意,故选D。cheerful快乐的;nervous紧张的;satisfied感到满意的。考生易选B项,其依据是第四段The assistant noticed my nervousness…来判断,而这是在lunchtime作者看牙医时的感觉。考生忽视了题干的关键词that morning。[来源:学&科&网Z&X&X&K] 57. A。细节理解题。难度:较易。根据题干关键词begin to doubt定位第三段…What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice?(什么样的牙医急于在如此短的 时间治疗一个人?)。A项“牙医同意在如此短的时间为她治疗”正是此句的同义转述,符 合题意,故选A。考生易选C“牙医办公室的环境”,其依据是第四段In the dentist’s office,…worried.(医生办公室光秃秃的墙使作者更担心)。这是作者后来的怀疑而不是“开始时的怀疑”。考生忽视题干的关键词begin。 58.B。细节理解题。难度:较易。根据题干关键词suddenly smile定位第九段。C项“因为她看到天花板上的画”与第九段There was a beautiful picture,…on the ceiling.相对应,故为正确答案。 59. C。推理判断题。难度:中等。由题干的experience可定位于文章后两段。文章倒数第二段提到…I began to understand…by her words.(开始理解朋友所说话的意思),而在文章第一段提到…The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place…stubbornly.作者与朋友争吵了,朋友说作者的问题是不会为她着想。由此可推知作者感悟到:要要设身处地为别人着想。C项符合此意,故为正确答案。 【六】 In 1974, after filling out fifty applications, going through four interviews, and winning one offer, I look what I could get — a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild area: western New Jersey. My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen -- teaching English. School started, but I felt more and more as if I were in a foreign country. Was this rural area really New Jersey? My students have a week off when hunting season began. I was told they were also frequently absent in late October to help their fathers make hay on the farms. I was a young woman from New York City, who thought that “Make hay while the sun shines” just meant to have a good time. But, still, I was teaching English. I worked hard, taking lime off only to eat and sleep. And then there was my sixth-grade class -- seventeen boys and five girls who were only six yean younger than me. I had a problem long before I knew it. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature come alive and lo promote a love of the written word. The students wanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back of the room. In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior. So I did, confident that, as the textbook had said, the bad behavior would disappear as I gave ray students positive attention. It sounds reasonable, but the text evidently ignored the fact that humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seem reasonable. By the time ray boss, who was also ray taskmaster known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise. My boss sat in the back of the room. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines. I just pretended it all wasn’t happening, and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions. My boss, sitting in the back of the room, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger. After twenty minutes he left, silently. Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes. I felt mildly victorious that I got through the rest of class without crying, but at my next free period I had to face him. I wondered if he would let me finish out the day. I walked to his office, took a deep breath, and opened the door. He was sitting in his chair, and he looked at me long and hard. I said nothing. All I could think of was that I was not an English teacher; I had been lying to myself, pretending that everything was fine. When he spoke, he said simply, without accusation, “You had nothing to say to them.” “You had nothing to say to them," he repeated. “No wonder they’re bored. Why not get to the meal of the literature and stop talking about symbolism. Talk with them, not at them. And more important, why do you ignore their bad behavior?” We talked. He named ray problems and offered solutions. We role-played. He was the bad student, and I was the forceful, yet, warm, teacher. As the year progressed, we spent many hours discussing literature and ideas about human beings and their motivations. He helped me identify my weaknesses and my strengths. In short, he made a teacher of me by teaching me the reality of Emerson's words: “The secret to education lies in respecting the pupil.” Fifteen years later I still drive that same winding road to the same school. Thanks to the help I received that difficult first year, the school is my home now. 55. It can be inferred from the story that in 1974 ______. A. the writer became an optimistic person B. the writer was very happy about her new job C. it was rather difficult to get a job in the USA D. it was easy to get a teaching job in New Jersey 56. According to the passage, which of the following is most probably the writer’s problem as a new teacher? A. She had blind trust in what she learned at college. B. She didn’t ask experienced teachers for advice. C. She took too much time off to eat and sleep. D. She didn’t like teaching English literature. 57. What is the writer’s biggest worry after her taskmaster's observation of her class? A. She might lose her teaching job. B. She might lose her students’ respect. C. She couldn’t teach the same class any more. D. She couldn’t ignore her students’ bad behavior any more. 58. Which of the following gives the writer a sense of mild victory? A. Her talk about symbolism sounded convincing. B. Her students behaved a little better than usual. C. She managed to finish the class without crying. D. She was invited for a talk by her boss after class. 59. The students behaved badly in the writer's classes because ______. A. they were eager to embarrass her B. she didn't really understand them C. they didn't regard her as a good teacher D. she didn’t have a good command of English 60. The taskmaster’s attitude towards the writer after his observation of her class can be best described as ______. A. cruel but encouraging B. fierce but forgiving C. sincere and supportive D. angry and aggressive D 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,题材是作者从教第一年的经历。文章描述的是作者工作第一年到偏远山区的一所学校执教的经历,当作者个人的执教理念和现实脱节时得到了上司的指点,对自己以后文学的教学起到了很大的影响。 【解析】 55A。推理判断题。难度:中等。题干关键词为in 1974,定位第一段。根据第一段第一句的描述可知,作者是经过投了50份简历,经历了四次面试才得到这份工作的,由此可知当时的美国就业是相当困难的。 56. C。细节理解题。难度:中等。题干关键词为the writer’s problem as a new teacher,定位于第三第四段。第三段后半部分说我有个问题很久没意识到,我的教学理念和教学实际脱节,第四段又说大学里受到的教育对我影响很大,可知对大学知识的盲目自信正是她的问题所在,A项正确。 B项的内容在文中没有涉及,没有提到其他老师的存在,可排除;C项描述与第三段第一句I worked hard,taking time off only to eat and sleep相矛盾;D项说作者不喜欢文学教学也与文中说作者对工作的执着和热心相背。 A。细节理解题。难度:中等。题干关键词为biggest worry,定位于第五段和第六段。第五段最后两句说负责人只听了20分钟就悄悄地离开了,我似乎看到了自己被解雇的情形以及下一段第二句话我不知道他是否让我上完那天的课,由此可知作者怕丢掉来之不易的工作。 C。细节理解题。难度:中等。题干关键词为a sense of wild victory,定位于第六段。第一句I felt wildly victorious that I got through the rest of the class without crying, 可知作者能坚持平静地上完剩下的课程就已经是使她感到不容易的事情了。所以答案为C。 B。推理判断题。难度:中等。题干关键词为the students behaved badly,定位于全篇文章。尤其从第四段中的描述可知,作者就是按照教科书中传授的理论教育学生,但效果甚微,而且教科书忽略了一个事实就是人尤其是青少年很少是理智的,可知学生在她的课堂上表现不佳的原因就是她并不真正了解学生。 C。推理判断题。难度:中等。题干关键词为the taskmaster’s attitude towards the writer,定位于第八第九段,他没有指责我,而是向我提出了许多建议并交换角色实地体验(他当坏学生我当老师)等内容都体现出负责人的态度是真诚的和支持的。 【七】 Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family’s last vacation. It was my six-year-old son’s winter break from school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a week long trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meeting in New York,So I had to get back . But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home. The next day my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged--okay, ordered-them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh? Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up. I've made living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks . I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in. I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts. 56. Why did Delta give the author's family credits? A.

A。细节理解题。难度:中等。题干关键词为:Delta …give…credits, 定位第一段。Dalta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day.可知,他们是因为放弃了本航班的机票从而得到航空公司的赔偿。 57. A。推理判断题。难度:中等。根据文中的句子(第三段):as a big-time bargain hunter…a good deal is something that few of us can afford to pass up可以推出作者很少错过便宜货。 58. C。事实细节题。难度:较易。文章第四段I have been the consumer reporter of NBC’s today show for over a decade.可知,作者是个媒体记者。 59.

I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn't realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather. I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions. I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot. He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilot - and my boss - so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, "We need to put the landing gear down now!" That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I've used it in the operating room ever since. CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn't overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I'm in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they're not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from “landing gear up”. 36. What does the author say about doctors in general? A. They like flying by themselves. B. They are unwilling to take advice. C. They pretend to be good pilots. D. They are quick learners of CRM. 37. The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when_______. A. he saved the plane by speaking up B. he was in charge of a flying task C. his boss landed the plane too late D. his boss operated on a patient 38. In the last paragraph” landing gear up” probably means ______. A. following flying requirements. B. overreacting to different opinions. C. listening to what fellow doctors say D. making a mistake that may cost lives 39. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.CRM: A New Way to Make Flying Safe B. Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor C. The Making of a Good Pilot D. A Pilot-Turned Doctor 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,题材是故事。作者讲述了自己把当飞行员时学会的机组资源管理理念运用到后来自己从医的手术室中。飞行经历使自己成为一名更出色的医生。 【解析】 36. B。细节理解题。根据文章第一段中Doctor are known to be terrible pilots. They don't listen because they already know it all.(众所周知,医生是糟糕的飞行员。他们听不进建议因为他们已经全都知道了。)可知他们听不进别人的意见。这和选项B一致。其他选项文章内容没有提到过。 37. A。细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的But I had to(speak up): Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, "We need to put the landing gear down now!" That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM(我们的生命处于危险之中,危机时刻我大声地说:“我们必须按下起降架” 这是我运用CRM的第一堂课。)可知A正确。 38. D。猜测短语含义题。根据文章第三段中的So when I'm in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they're not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from ”landing gear up”.可以推知:当我在手术室时,我向别人征求意见和寻求帮助。有时他们不愿大声说话。但我希望如果我不断地鼓励他们,有朝一日,有人就能阻止我犯以生命为代价的错误(landing gear down挽救了飞机和我们的命;landing gear up如果不按下起降架就会飞机失事牺牲生命)。故选D。 39. B。推测文章的标题。根据文章的整体内容上看,作者采用倒叙的方法。第一段叙述故事的结果,从而引出下文的故事。而第一段中的becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon是文章的中心句,这句涵盖了整个文章内容,而选项B和中心句一致。所以B正确。 【九】 Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours (绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words. For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents' home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything. Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when 1 had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired. But then Banner, our lamb was bent. He was reeled by h, mama days before our planned trip to Boise, I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me. That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They'd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air. We explored side roads, catching grasshopper in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car window, at baby p.gs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons(见识). We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories. I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet mc up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence. Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey-and the best part of yourself. 46. Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents' home? A. It was less tiring. B. It would be fester and safer. C. Her kids would feel less confined. D. She felt better with other drivers nearby. 47. The author stopped regularly on the country roads to ______. A. relax in the fresh air B. take a deep breath C. take care of the lamb D. let the kids play with Banner 48. What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6? A. Freeways are where beauty hides. B. Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life. C. Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one's health. D. One should follow side roads to watch wild animals. 49. Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home? A. To give herself some time to read. B. To order some food for them C. To play a game with them D. To let them cool down. 50. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Charm of the Detour B. The Road to Bravery C. Creativity out of Necessity D. Road Trip and Country Life 【语篇解读】本文我一篇记叙文。记叙了作者为了方便照顾年幼的孩子驱车去父母家时而不得不改变多年行驶路线的经历,以及由此而产生的感悟。 【解析】 46.B。细节推理题。难度:较易。题干关键词为take freeways to her parents’ home定位于第二段。根据We travelled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road(我们行驶在大多数人走的最快、最短、最便捷的公路上),可知作者选择这条路是因为它的快速与安全。 47.C。细节理解题。难度:较易。找到本题的关键词regularly(有规律地),文中提到表达有规律的语句在第五段。根据We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him(我们不得不每个小时就停下来,让Banner伸伸腿并喂喂他),可知停下来是为了照顾这个可爱的小人Banner. 48.B。推理判读题。难度:中等。找到题眼Para.6.在Para.6.中,作者带着孩子们一路欣赏乡间美景:看到了齐腰深的草、车窗外紧随妈妈身后的猪宝宝、从水中跳出的鱼等。Here was life(这就是生活)。作者通过亲近大自然感到了生活的乐趣。 49.D。细节判断题。难度:较易。找到题干中的关键词组ask the kids to get out of the car,定位在para.8.根据On an empty section of road, everyone started quarrelling, stopped the car, ordered all kids out(在一个空旷的区域,孩子们开始争吵,我于是停下车,让他们都下车),可以看出,“孩子们吵架”是停车的原因。因此选项D。(让他们冷静下来)为正确答案。 【干扰项排除】最具潜力干扰项是选项A(为了给自己看书的时间),根据关键词我们知道这不是作者停车的原因与目的,只是让孩子们下车之后,带来的一个结果。选项B(给他们预定食物)与选项C(和他们一起游戏)均未在文中提及。 50.A。主旨判断题。难度:较难。本文通过叙述从这些年来为了贪图便捷快速走高速路,到因为照顾年幼的孩子而不得选择乡间公路的过程中,欣赏了大自然的美景,发现了绕行路的魅力。 【解题思路】主旨判断题的方法是找高频词。本文在第一段通过诗人的话就引出detour,文中多次都提及,在文章的最后一段的末句还是提及到了它。因此,高频词出现的选项就是正确选项。 【十】 On a sunny day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea. Two 2-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football. Once they’d rowed beyond the calm waters, a bleach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control. Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves. “Everything went quiet in my head,” Tim recalls(回忆). “I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.” Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. “At one point, I considered turning back,” he says. “I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close to yell to the boys, “Take down the umbrella!” Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him. “Let’s aim for the pier(码头),” Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. “Can you guys swim?” he cried. “A little bit,” the boys said. Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys’ faces. “Are we almost there?” they asked again and again. “Yes,” Tim told them each time. After 30 minutes, they reached the pier. 35. Why did the two boys go to the sea? A. To go boat rowing. B. To get back their football. C. To swim in the open water. D. To test the umbrella as a sail. 36. What does “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The beach B. The water. C. The boat. D. The wind 37. Why did Tim raise his head regularly? A. To take in enough fresh air. B. To consider turning back or not. C. To check his distance from the boys. D. To ask the boys to take down the umbrella. 38. How did the two boys finally reach the pier? A. They were dragged to the pier by Tim. B. They swam to the pier all by themselves. C. They were washed to the pier by the waves. D. They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,题材是人物故事。作者描述了两个孩子划船出海捡球遇险,Tim勇敢地游泳去营救的故事。 【解析】 35. B。细节理解题。难度:较易。题干关键词为two boys go to the sea,定位第二段第一句。根据“to search a football”,可知B项正确。 36. D。词汇猜测题。难度:较难。no match for“无法对抗;不敌”,定位原文中的it,阅读其上文可知,绑在船上的伞利用了风力将船带入开阔的水域,孩子们慌了,尽力往岸边划,但却抵不过它,船失控了。因此,it指的是“the wind”,因此,选D。 37. C。细节理解题。难度:较易。根据关键词“raise his head”定位原文在第五段第二句 “... raise his head to judge his progress”,可知,Tim抬头是为了判断自己的进程。C项是对原文的同义转述,因此,选C。 38. A。细节理解题。难度:中等。根据题干关键词“how...reach the pier”定位原文第八段“Tim decided... to pull the boys toward the pier”,可知,Tim 将两个孩子拖回了码头,A项中的“drag”与原文“pull”同义,因此,选A。查看更多
