2016高考英语暑假自选训练（7）

阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

After years of study，I have known there are only two types of people in this world：those who get to the airport early and those who arrive as the plane is about to take off.

If there were any justice in this world，the early­airport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing and the late­airport people would be punished.But the early­airport people get ulcers(溃疡)，heart attacks and bite their finger­nails to the bone (急得团团转)．The late­airport people are hardly aware that they are flying.

A guy of that kind once said，“Don’t hurry.If you miss your flight，it’s because God didn’t want you to go.”This is clearly a guy who is never going to get an ulcer. Early­airport people suffer another“name”．They are called exactly what they are—wimps(懦夫)．I know I am an early­airport person for years.My luggage will get on the plane first，which makes it the last luggage they take off the plane after landing. Another strange thing：No matter how early I showed up，I was always told that someone had called two or three years ahead of me and asked for the best seat.I figured it was a trick.I figured there was someone in America who called every airline every day and said，“Is that wimp Simon flying somewhere today？If he is，give me his seat.” After a lifetime arguing with my wife over whether I really have to pack 24 hours in advance and set the alarm clock four hours ahead，I have learned another fact about early­airport people and late­airport people：

They always marry each other.

1．We can learn from the passage that________.

A．late­airport persons often get ulcers or heart attacks

B．early­airport persons are always relaxed during the flight

C．early­airport persons get their luggage first after landing

D．late­airport persons always take things easy

解析： 细节理解题。从第二段及第三段所举事例可知，晚到机场的人总是沉得住气，不慌不忙，故选D。从第二段第二句可知A项和B项错；从第四段最后一句可知C项错。

答案： D

2．The fifth paragraph mainly tells us________.

A．someone always plays tricks on the writer

B．the airlines usually fool passengers

C．early­airport persons always can’t get good seats

D．the service of airlines is very bad

解析： 段落大意题。从第五段可知作者通过描述自己的亲身经历得出一个结论：早到机场的人往往不能得到想要的座位，故C选项正确。A项是作者的一个玩笑。因为他总是得不到想要的座位，所以才会说I figured it was a trick；B项和D项无法从第五段推出。

答案： C

3．The purpose of writing the passage is to________.

A．give useful tips on taking a plane

B．offer advice about catching a plane

C．express the writer’s anxiety about taking planes

D．show peoples two attitudes toward catching planes

解析： 意图推测题。通读全文不难推断出作者写此文章主要介绍了人们对于赶飞机的两种截然不同的态度，故D选项正确。

答案： D

4．It could be inferred that the writer’s wife is________.

A．an early­airport woman

C．a hot­tempered woman B．a late­airport woman D．a sensitive woman

解析： 推理判断题。根据文章可知作者属于“早到机场的人。”文章的结尾提到了作者的另一个发现：早到机场的人总是与晚到机场的人结婚。由此，可推知作者的妻子属于“晚到机场的人”，故选B。

答案： B

5．The writing style of the passage would be best described as________.

A．serious

C．humorous B．simple D．ironic

解析： 推理判断题。综观全文，作者的写作风格诙谐幽默，妙趣横生，故选C。

An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same tome.

In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起）the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.

In Chicago, the mayor(市长）appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.

The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and perse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致）can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energy And passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself. Ultinatel was Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process. or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.

( ) 1. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?

A. To invite authors to guide readers.

B. To encourage people to read and share.

C. To involve people in community service.

D. To promote the friendship between cities.

( ) 2.Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?…… 此处隐藏：11894字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
