‎2019届二轮复习阅读理解专题记叙文类型模拟试题10篇训练之十四 ‎[一]‎ Audrey Hepburn won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her first major American movie, Roman Holiday, which was released in 1953. But she is remembered as much for her aid work as for her acting.‎ Born in Belgium in 1929, Audrey' s father was British and her mother was Dutch.‎ Audrey was sent to live at a British school for part of her childhood. During World War II , she lived and studied in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks. Audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college when she returned to London after the war. But she realized she wasn' t going to be a ballerina. So she began taking acting parts in stage shows. Later she began to get small parts in movies.‎ But it was Audrey Hepburn' s move to America that brought her true fame. In 1951 she played the character "Gigi" in the Broadway play of the same name to great critical praise. Two years later, Roman Holiday made her a star at the age of 24.‎ Audrey made more than 25 movies. Among her most popular roles was Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's in 1961. Three years later she played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.‎ She was married two times and had one son by each husband. In 1989, the UN Children' s Fund named Audrey a goodwill ambassador. She travelled all over the world in support of UNICEF projects. The UN agency said she was a tireless worker. She often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for UNICEF projects.‎ Audrey Hepburn often said her loyalty to UNICEF was the result of her experiences as a child during World War Ⅱ. She said she knew what it was like to be starving and to be saved by international aid. She was a goodwill ambassador until her death in 1993 from colon cancer.‎ ‎[语篇解读]本文介绍著名影星Audrey Hepburn(奥黛丽·赫本)的生平事迹。1953年主演的《罗马假日》使她一举成名。从1989年直至1993年去世，赫本一直担任联合国儿童基金会的特使，为拉美和非洲儿童提供了很大帮助。‎ ‎1．In Paragraph 1, "her aid work" means ________.‎ A. winning an Academy Award as Best Actress B. taking acting parts in stage shows C. making movies D. acting as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF ‎[解析]推理判断题。此题应根据全文内容来判断。第一段是全文的概括，其重心在后面，即奥黛丽·赫本尽管获得奥斯卡最佳女主角奖，但她担当的援助工作同样使人铭记。再结合文章接下来的叙述可知答案为D。[答案]D ‎2．The reason why Audrey lived and studied in the Netherlands was that ________.‎ A. she wanted to be a ballerina B. her parents were from Britain C. the education there was excellent D. it was safe there ‎[解析]细节理解题。根据第三段中的"Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks"和"she returned to London after the war"可知D项正确。[答案]D ‎3．We can infer from the passage that ________.‎ A.

Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher at Princess Elizabeth School near Hamilton, Ontario, had been through first snow days ,tony times in her long career, but I think struggled still remember this one.‎ I managed to get into my wool snow pants. But I straggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and matching scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots. In her calm, motherly voice she said, "By the end of winter, you will be able to put on own boots. “ I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence.‎ I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected the adult to do an the work. After mush wiggling and pushing, she managed to get first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.‎ I announced，“They’re on the wrong feet．”With the grace that only experience can bring，she struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again．Then I said，“These aren’t my boots．you know．”As she pulled the offending boots from my feet，she still managed to look both helpful and interested．Once they were off．I said，“They are my brother’s boots．My mother makes me wear them，and I hate them!” Somehow，from long years of practice，she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying little girl．She pushed and shoved．less gently this time，and the boots were returned to their proper place on my feet．With a great sigh of relief，seeing the end of her struggle with me，she asked，“Now，where are your gloves?’’‎ I looked into her eyes and said．“I didn’t want to lose them．so I put them into the toes of my boots．”‎ ‎60．According to the passage，the little girl got from her brother．‎ A．the wool snow pants and the jacket B．the jacket and the boots C．the jacket and the hat D．the boots and the gloves ‎61．What made it so hard for the teacher to help the little girl put her boots on?‎ A．The gloves in the toes of the boots． B．The slowness of the teacher．‎ C．The wrong size of the boots． D．The unwillingness of the girl．‎ ‎62．It can be inferred that before the little girl finally went out to enjoy the first snow of winter，the teacher had to help her put on her boots ．‎ A．once B．twice C．three times D．four times ‎63．Which of the following sentences from the text BEST indicates that the teacher is very considerate?‎ A．In her calm，motherly voice she said，“By the end of winter，…”（Paragraph 2）‎ B．With the grace that only experience can bring，she struggled to…（Paragraph 4）‎ C．…．she still managed to look both helpful and interested．（Paragraph 4）‎ D．…，she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying little girl.（Paragraph 4）‎ 参考答案：60-63:BADD ‎[四]‎ ‎83-year-old Antonio Vicente has spent the last four decades of his life fighting against the trend. As Brazilian landowners cut down rainforests to make room for profitable plantations(种植园) and cattle grounds, he struggled to bring the jungles of his childhood back to life.‎ ‎“When I was a child, the peasants cut down the trees to make grasslands and charcoal, and the water dried up and did not come back,” he told the reporters. “I thought: ‘Water is valuable, no one makes water and the population will not stop growing. What is going to happen? We are going to run out of water.’”‎ With only some donkeys and a small team of hired workers, Antonio Vicente set about bringing back the forest to his land. What started out as a weekend hobby soon became a permanent way of life, and Antonio recalls often spending whole days and nights in his young jungle, surrounded by rats and foxes, and eating banana sandwiches for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Over the last 40 years, he has planted an estimated 50,000 trees on his 31-hectare land, which now makes up a small but unique area of rainforest, and a haven for wildlife.‎ As the forest grew, the water returned, and Antonio says that there are now over 20 water sources on his land that were no longer there when he bought it. Then the animals started making a home there. Today, the forest is alive with the sounds of birds and insects living there, and more species are settling in every year.‎ ‎“There are toucans(巨嘴鸟),all kinds of birds, squirrels, lizards, and even the boars are returning,”83-year-old Vicente says. “If you ask me who my family are, I would say all these right here, each one of these that I planted from a seed.”‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。本文叙述的是83岁的Antonio Vicente花了40年的时间抗击干旱的故事。‎ ‎9. What do we learn about the Brazilian peasants?‎ A. They wasted much water on farming.‎ B. They focused on short-term profits.‎ C. They cared much about the environment.‎ D. They relied heavily on rainforests for a living.‎ 答案B 解析推理判断题。根据第二段可知Brazilian的农民关注的是短期的利益。故选B项。‎ ‎10.What used to be young Antonio’s biggest concern?‎ A. Overpopulation. B. Polluted water.‎ C. Loss of grasslands. D. Water shortage.‎ 答案D 解析推理判断题。根据第三段第一、二句“...Antonio Vicente set about bringing back the forest to his land. What started out as a weekend hobby soon became a permanent way of life...”可知年轻的Antonio最大的关注是水的短缺。故选D项。‎ ‎11.What does the underlined word “haven” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?‎ A. Trap. B. Disaster.‎ C. Shelter. D. Balance.‎ 答案C 解析词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“Over the last 40 years, he has planted an estimated 50,000 trees on his 31-hectare land, which now makes up a small but unique area of rainforest, and a haven for wildlife.”在最近40年,他在31公顷土地上种植了大约50,000棵树,构成了目前虽小但独特的野生动物的热带雨林天堂。由此推知画线词的意思是“避难所”,故选C项。‎ ‎12.In the last paragraph, Antonio mainly expresses his 　　　. ‎ A. affection for his forest B. thanks for his family C. deep love for rare birds D. pride as a successful farmer 答案A 解析推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘There are toucans(巨嘴鸟),all kinds of birds, squirrels, lizards, and even the boars are returning,’83-year-old Vicente says. ‘If you ask me who my family are, I would say all these right here, each one of these that I planted from a seed.’”可推知Antonio主要在表达他对森林的喜爱。故选A项。‎ ‎[五]‎ I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul— he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers. ‎ The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was ‎ an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺)and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other— but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core (核心)of our relationship off the screen. ‎ We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back— he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events. ‎ I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words. ‎ ‎【文章大意】本文主要记述了“我”和Paul Newman的深厚友谊。来源:学|科|网]‎ ‎1. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first? ‎ A. Paul Newman wanted it. ‎ B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent. ‎ C. He wasn’t famous enough. ‎ D. The director recommended someone else. ‎ ‎【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第一段的When the studio didn’t want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul可知, 电影公司不想让作者演这部电影, 是因为他们想要一位像Paul一样出名的人来演, 这说明作者不出名。‎ ‎2. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship? ‎ A. They were of the same age. ‎ B. They worked in the same theater. [来源:学,科,网]‎ C. They were both good actors. ‎ D. They had similar characteristics. ‎ ‎【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第二段的Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other. . . the core of our relationship off the screen. 可知, 两个人拥有持久的友谊的原因是他们两个有很多相同的特质。‎ ‎3. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? ‎ A. Their belief. ‎ B. Their care for children. ‎ C. Their success. ‎ D. Their support for each other. ‎ ‎【解析】选A。词义猜测题。根据第三段的We shared the belief that. . . 可知, that指代belief。‎ ‎4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? [来源:学科网]‎ A. To show his love of films. ‎ B. To remember a friend. ‎ C. To introduce a new movie. ‎ D. To share his acting experience. ‎ ‎【解析】选B。推理判断题。本文主要记述了作者和Paul Newman的深厚友谊, 所以作者写这篇文章的目的是怀念他的朋友Paul Newman。‎ ‎[六]‎ Last Sunday, I was sitting in a French restaurant enjoying a meal when I got a phone call from a friend I hadn’t spoken to in a long time. In my enthusiasm and excitement, I talked quite louder than usual voice and in Spanish, my mother tongue. ‎ A few minutes into the call, an old lady sitting at the table beside mine got up, seemingly offended, and asked the restaurant staff to relocate(重新安排) a table as far away as possible from this man who seemed to be impolite. ‎ I sank in my seat out of embarrassment. I ended the call soon afterwards and felt the urge to apologize. Before getting up, I looked around to see where she was and she was at the table farthest away from me. I noticed that the lady was alone and staring out of the window. I found a tinge(气息) of sadness or anxiety and perhaps a desire for aloneness and peace. But I had obviously destroyed it minutes earlier. ‎ Right then I abandoned my plan for a conventional apologetic gesture. Seeing those funny smile cards in my wallet, I took one out and wrote some words to express my apology. On signing my restaurant bill, I asked a waiter to secretly charge the lady’s meal to me and hand her the smile card instead of her bill. ‎ Did she take it the wrong way, I wondered? Did she get confused? Did she refuse the anonymous(匿名的) offer? And so on. I just waited and felt nervous to learn the outcome. To my pleasant surprise, things turned out the best possible way. ‎ The waiter approached me in a joy, telling me, “In the many times she had dined here before, I had never seen the old lady smile as she did when receiving the smile card and the $0 bill. She thanked me even though I explained that someone else did the job. ”‎ ‎【文章大意】文章主要讲述了作者几天前在餐厅用餐发生的事情。作者当时由于接到了很久未联系的朋友的电话而声音略大, 使得坐在附近的一位女士要求调换座位远离作者。作者这才觉得自己打扰了他人。最后作者通过匿名付账以及送微笑卡的方式向对方道歉。‎ ‎1.

What can we infer from Paragraph 3? ‎ A. The lady didn’t have a nice mood and liked to stay alone. ‎ B. The author went up to the old lady and apologized to her. ‎ C. The old lady just moved to the farthest table to see outside. ‎ D. The author didn’t stop talking though he felt embarrassed. [来源:学*科*网]‎ ‎【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第三段I noticed that the lady was alone and staring out of the window.

The Moldovan has lived here seven years as a caregiver to Italian kids and the elderly, but in order to stay she’s had to prove her language skills by taking a test which requires her to write a postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a fictional job ad. ‎ Italy is the latest Western European country trying to control a growing immigrant(移民) population by demanding language skills in exchange for work permits, or in some cases, citizenship. ‎ Some immigrant advocates worry that as hard financial times make it more difficult for natives to keep jobs, such measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than integration(融合). Others say it’s only natural that newcomers learn the language of their host nation, seeing it as a condition to ensure they can contribute to society. ‎ Other European countries laid down a similar requirement for immigrants, and some terms are even tougher. The governments argue that this will help foreigners better join the society and promote understanding across cultures. ‎ Italy, which has a much weaker tradition of immigration, has witnessed a sharp increase in immigration in recent years. In 1990, ‎ immigrants numbered some 1. 14 million out of Italy’s then 56. 7 million people, or about 2 percent. At the start of this year, foreigners living in Italy amounted to 4. 56 million of a total population of 60. 6 million, or 7. 5 percent, with immigrants’ children accounting for an even larger percentage of births in Italy. ‎ Cojochru, the Moldovan caregiver, hoped obtaining permanent residence(居住权) would help her bring her two children to Italy; they live with her sister in Moldova, where salaries are among the lowest in Europe. She was skeptical that the language requirement would encourage integration. ‎ Italians always “see me as a foreigner, ” an outsider, even though she’s stayed in the country for years and can speak the local language fluently, she said. ‎ ‎【文章大意】本文是一篇新闻报道。意大利正试图通过要求语言技能以换取工作许可或公民身份的方式来控制不断增长的移民人口。‎ ‎1. Why does Cojochru have to take a language test? ‎ A. To continue to stay in Italy. ‎ B. To teach her children Italian. ‎ C. To find a better job in Italy. ‎ D. To better mix with the Italians. ‎ ‎【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第一段中的but in order to stay she’s had to prove her language skills by taking a test可知, 为了能留在意大利, Cojochru不得不参加语言考试。‎ ‎2. Some people worry that the new language requirement may ________.  ‎ A. reduce Italy’s population quickly B. cause conflicts among people C. lead to financial difficulties[来源:学|科|网]‎ D. put pressure on schools ‎【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第三段中的Some immigrant advocates worry that. . . such measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than integration可知, 一些人担心, 这些措施将成为不包容的工具, 而不是融合。也就是说可能导致人们之间的冲突。‎ ‎3. What do we know about Cojochru? ‎ A. She lives with her sister now in Italy. ‎ B. She enjoys learning the Italian language. ‎ C. She speaks Italian well enough for her job. ‎ D. She wishes to go back to her home country. ‎ ‎【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据最后一段中的even though she’s stayed in the country for years and can speak the local language fluently可知, Cojochru意大利语说得非常好, 完全可以胜任她的工作。‎ ‎[八]‎ While many people dream of mermaids（美人鱼），few people actually try to become one. How can someone become a mermaid if they don’t exist? Just ask Dana Richardson, who is a professional mermaid in Hawaii! ‎ ‎“As a child, I always felt very connected to the ocean and played mermaids in the water,” says Dana. “My love of the ocean took me to different types of work such as a lifeguard, swim instructor, boat crew member, underwater photographer, boat captain and surfer. I just decided to take it to the next level and grow a tail.”‎ Dana doesn’t mean literally（照字面地）. In 2008 she began making mermaid tails from materials including shiny fabric（织物）that she wears while free-diving in the waters around Kona, Hawaii. Free-diving means diving without any protective equipment. It requires you to hold your breath while swimming deep underwater. As she dives in, Dana not only like a mermaid; she experiences what it is like to swim like one too.‎ The waters around Dana’s home in Kona are filled with wildlife, including dolphins and whales. Kona is by a sheltered sea where the waters are calm for swimming. For ten years Dana has been swimming with the creatures of Kona. Some of them have even learned to recognize her.‎ Dana knows how to swim with sea life because she is a trained marine naturalist. She understands the behavior of sea life and knows how to safely interact with it. Every morning when she swims with sea life she gets to experience her other “home” .“The ocean beneath the depths really is another world. Watching how the world works so gracefully in the circle of life underwater is a beautiful thing.”‎ For Dana Richardson being a mermaid just makes sense. “I always felt more comfortable underwater than on land,” she says.‎ Would you like to follow your dream, even if it seems impossible？Dana Richardson reminds everyone, “One person can truly make a difference. By following your heart and offering the world your unique gifts, you will inspire others to do so. The world needs you!”‎ ‎24.What has been influencing Dana’s work experience most?‎ A. Her hobby B. Her family C. Her science teacher D. Her swim instructor ‎25.Why does Dana make mermaid tails?‎ A. She needs them to protect her. B. She wants to swim like a mermaid. C.

A 根据第二段的My love of the ocean took me to different types of work such as a lifeguard, swim instructor, boat crew member, underwater photographer, boat captain, and surfer.可知，她的爱好最影响她的工作。故选A。‎ 25. B 根据In 2008 she began making mermaid tails from materials including shiny fabric(织物) that she wears while free-diving in the waters around Kona, Hawaii...As she dives in, Dana not only looks like a mermaid; she experiences what it is like to swim like one too.可知，她想像美人鱼一样游泳。故选B。‎ 26. A 根据Dana knows how to swim with sea life because she is a trained marine(海洋的) naturalist. She understands the behavior of sea life and knows how to safely interact with it.‎ 可知，因为Dana是一位海洋的自然主义者，她知道怎样跟海洋生物一起游泳，她理解海洋生物的行为，她知道怎样跟它们安全地互动。故选A。‎ ‎27. C 根据最后一段的Dana reminds everyone, “One person can truly make a difference. By following your heart and offering the world your unique gifts, you will inspire others to do so. The world needs you! ”可知，Dana在激励人们尽力实现自己的梦想。故选C。．‎ ‎[九]‎ ‎ Last week, Vodafone started a test of the UK's first full 5G service, available for use by businesses in Salford. It is part of its plan to trial the technology in seven UK cities. But what can we expect from the next generation of mobile technology?‎ ‎ One thing we will see in the preparation for the test is lots of tricks with the new tech. Earlier this year, operators paid almost £ 1.4 billion for the 5G wavelengths, and to compensate for that cash, they will need to catch the eye of consumers. In September, Vodafone used its bit of the range to display the UK's first hologram (全息) call. The Manchester City captain Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram in Newbury. It isn't all holograms, however: 5G will offer faster internet access, with Ofcom (英国通讯管理局) suggesting that video that takes a minute to download on 4G will be available in just a second.‎ ‎ The wider application is to support connected equipment on the "internet of things" -not just the internet-enabled fridge that can reorder your milk for you, but the network that will enable driverless cars and delivery drones (无人机) to communicate with each other.‎ ‎ Prof William Webb has warned that the technology could be a case of the emperor's new clothes. Much of the speed increase, he claims, could have been achieved by putting more money in the 4G network, rather than a new technology. Other different voices have suggested that a focus on rolling out wider rural broadband access and addressing current network coverage would be more beneficial to the UK as a whole.‎ ‎ Obviously, 5G will also bring a cost to consumers. It requires a handset for both 5G and 4G, and the first 5G-enabled smart phones are expected in the coming year. With the slow pace of network rollout so far, it is likely that consumers will end up upgrading to a new 5 G phone well before 5 G becomes widely available in the next couple of years.‎ ‎32．Why does Prof William Webb say "the technology could be a case of the emperor's new clothes" ?‎ A．He is in favor of the application of the new technology.‎ B．5G will bring a cost to consumers in their daily life.‎ C．5G helps people communicate better with each other.‎ D．He prefers more money to be spent on 4G networks.‎ ‎33．The underlined word "addressing" in the fourth paragraph has the closest meaning to________‎ A．making a speech to B．trying to solve C．managing to decrease D．responding to ‎34．The last paragraph indicates that A．it'll take several years .to make 5G accessible to the public in the UK B．5G service shows huge development potential and a broad market C．customers are eager to use 5G smart phones instead of 4G ones D．it's probable that 5G network rollout is speeding up in Britain ‎35．What do we know about the text?‎ A．Vodafone is successful in spreading the 5G service.‎ B．Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram by 4G.‎ C．The application of 5G will make life much easier.‎ D．5G phones are available in rural areas of the UK.‎ 参考答案：32—35 DBAC ‎[十]‎ Pop stars today enjoy a style of living which was once the prerogative only of Royalty. Wherever they go, people turn out in their thousands to greet them. The crowds go wild trying to catch a brief glimpse of their smiling, colorfully dressed idols. The stars are transported in their chauffeur driven Rolls-Royces, private helicopters or executive aeroplanes. They are surrounded by a permanent entourage of managers, press agents and bodyguards. Photographs of them appear ‎ regularly in the press and all their comings and goings are reported, for, like Royalty, pop stars are news. If they enjoy many of the privileges of Royalty, they certainly share many of the inconveniences as well. It is dangerous for them to make unscheduled appearances in public. They must be constantly shielded from the adoring crowds which idolize them. They are no longer private individuals, but public property. The financial rewards they receive for this sacrifice cannot be calculated, for their rates of pay are astronomical.‎ And why not? Society has always rewarded its top entertainers lavishly. The great days of Hollywood have become legendary: famous stars enjoyed fame, wealth and adulation on an unprecedented scale. By today’s standards, the excesses of Hollywood do not seem quite so spectacular. A single gramophone record nowadays may earn much more in royalties than the films of the past ever did. The competition for the title ‘Top of the Pops’ is fierce, but the rewards are truly colossal.‎ It is only right that the stars should be paid in this way. Don’t the top men in industry earn enormous salaries for the services they perform to their companies and their countries? Pop stars earn vast sums in foreign currency – often more than large industrial concerns – and the taxman can only be grateful for their massive annual contributions to the exchequer. So who would begrudge them their rewards?‎ It’s all very well for people in humdrum jobs to moan about the successes and rewards of others. People who make envious remarks should remember that the most famous stars represent only the tip of the iceberg. For every famous star, there are hundreds of others struggling to earn a living. A man working in a steady job and looking forward to a pension at the end of it has no right to expect very high rewards. He has chosen security and peace of mind, so there will always be a limit to what he can earn. But a man who attempts to become a star is taking enormous risks. He knows at the outset that only a handful of competitors ever get to the very top. He knows that years of concentrated effort may be rewarded with complete failure. But he knows, too, that the rewards for success are very high indeed: they are the recompense for the huge risks involved and if he achieves them, he has certainly earned them. That’s the essence of private enterprise.‎ ‎1.The sentence Pop stars’ style of living was once the prerogative only of Royalty means ‎[A] their life was as luxurious as that of royalty.‎ ‎[B].They enjoy what once only belonged to the royalty.‎ ‎[C] They are rather rich.‎ ‎[D] Their way of living was the same as that of the royalty.‎ ‎2.What is the author’s attitude toward top stars’ high income?‎ ‎[A] Approval.‎ ‎[B].Disapproval.‎ ‎[C] Ironical.‎ ‎[D] Critical.‎ ‎3.It can be inferred from the passage ‎[A] there exists fierce competition in climbing to the top.‎ ‎[B].People are blind in idolizing stars.‎ ‎[C] Successful Pop stars give great entertainment.‎ ‎[D] The tax they have paid are great.‎ ‎4.What can we learn from the passage?‎ ‎[A] Successful man should get high-income repayment.‎ ‎[B].Pop stars made great contribution to a country.‎ ‎[C] Pop stars can enjoy the life of royalty.‎ ‎[D] Successful men represent the tip of the iceberg.‎ ‎5.Which paragraph covers the main idea?‎ ‎[A] The first.‎ ‎[B].The second.‎ ‎[C] The third.‎ ‎[D] The fourth.‎ 写作方法与文章大意 作者以对比、因果写作手法，写出歌星享受者贵族般生活方式，出门受千万人群欢迎，出入高级车、机，身后保镖、经纪人、新闻记者，来去都有报道，这一切是社会对高级演员的慷慨赠予。公司的高级人员享受高薪，歌星也应享受。再则顶尖歌星冒有很大风险。‎ 答案详解 ‎1.B 他们享受一度只属于贵族享用的一切。第一段集中谈了这些：他们走到哪里，成千上万人们出来欢迎，却中发疯地要看一眼穿着花哨的偶像的笑容。这些歌星坐着司机开动的 Rolls-Royces汽车、私人直升飞机，高级长官飞机到处走，永远围着一批经纪人、报界记者和保镖随从人员。他们的照片定期登在报刊上，因为歌星象贵族一样是新闻人物。‎ A.他们的生活和贵族一样奢侈。C.他们很富。D.他们的生活方式和贵族生活方式一个样。‎ ‎2.A 赞成。在第一段最后一句：“他们为他们的牺牲所获取的报酬难以计算，支付率惊人。”第二段一开始就点明“为什么不惊人？社会对高级表演者总是慷慨解囊。好莱坞的鼎盛时期名扬天下，著名歌星先手空前绝后的名、利、奉承。”第三段更明确指出：应该这样支付星族，这完全正确。企业中的顶尖人物因为他们为公司和国家所作的一切不也挣得高额工资？税务员应感谢他们每年为国库做出了巨大的贡献。所以谁会忌妒他们的报酬呢？最后一段进一步说明：欲成为星族的人冒着很大的风险，谁都知道只有一小撮人能成为顶尖人物，也可能多年的努力以彻底失败而告终，而成功的报酬确实很高，这是对他们冒险的补偿。这些内容都说明作者赞成巨额报酬。‎ A.不同意。C.讽刺的。D.批评的。‎ ‎3.A 在攀登顶峰中存在着激烈的竞争。这在第三段最后一句明确指出：获取顶尖的流行歌星的称号竞争激烈，但其报酬确实惊人。最后一段的风险说。还有最后一段第二句：说忌妒话的人应记住：最有名的星族代表的只是冰山之巅――人极少。每个成名的歌星身后就有成千上百个其他歌者为生存而奋斗。这都说明“竞争激烈”。‎ B.人们盲目崇拜偶像歌星。C.成功的流行歌星演出给人极大的享受。D.他们支付的税收巨大。‎ ‎4.D 成功者只是冰山的顶尖――少极了。‎ A.成功的人应当获得高收入。B.流行歌星对国家做出巨大贡献。C.流行歌星能享受贵族生活。‎ ‎5.D 第四段。主旨句是倒数第一、二句，成功的报酬确实很高，这是对其高度风险的还报补偿，如果他成功了，他肯定挣得多。那就是私人事业的根本/本质。‎ A.第一段。这段之对比了贵族和歌星的生活方式。B.第二段。这段讲了挣得多，但竞争激烈。C.第三段。歌星和企业顶尖人物对比。‎
