篇四:2014高考英语阅读理解抓分训练(56)

2014高考英语阅读理解抓分训练(56)及答案

阅读理解

Vincent Van Gogh was not always an artist. In fact, he wanted to be a church minister but was sent to the Belgian mining community of Borinage in 1879. He discovered that the miners there lived with terrible working conditions and received poverty-level wages. Their families were not well fed and struggled simply to survive. He felt concerned that the small salary he received from the church allowed him to live a

normal life, which, in contrast to the poor, seemed unfair.

A rich family in the community offered him free room and board. But Van Gogh turned down the offer, stating that it was the final temptation he must reject if he was to faithfully serve his community of poor miners. He believed that if he wanted them to trust him, he must become one of them. And if they were to learn of the love of God through him, he must love them enough to share with them.

He was fully aware of a wide chasm which can separate words and actions. He knew that people’s lives often speak louder and clearer than their words. Maybe it was that same knowledge that led Francis of Assisi to frequently remind his monks(修士,僧侣), “Wherever you go, preach. Use words if necessary.”

There are a million ways to say, “I love you,” without even saying a word!

5. Among the following statements of Vincent Van Gogh, which is Not true?

A. He was an artist. B. He wasn’t satisfied with his salary

C. He thought the wages of the minors too low. D. He once worked as a minister.

6. From the second paragraph, we know _____________.

A. Van Gogh was crazy B. Van Gogh especially loved to teach children arts

C. Van Gogh was rich D. Van Gogh deeply sympathized with the lower-class

7. Vincent Van Gogh rejected the offer because _____.

A. it was illegal for a minister B. he wanted to be a minor

C. he was devoted to his job D. he was dishonest

8. The sentence “There are a million ways to say, ‘I love you, without even saying

a word.” (the last paragraph) implies that ______.

A. actions speak louder than words B. silence can also show love

C. there are numerous ways to express love D. saying “I love you” is useless 9. We can infer from the passage ____________.

A. our lives always speak louder and clearer than our words[K]

B. the miners there worked under excellent working conditions

C. the ministers lived a much better and easier life than the miners at the time

D. Van Gogh himself offered to work in the Belgian mining community of Borinage in 1879.

参考答案 BDCAC

(2011·江西卷,A)

“Mum,what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton(骨骼) in the closet(衣橱)?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully, “Well, it's something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad's family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family's closet’. He really wouldn't want any neighbor to konw about it.”

“Why pick on my family?” Jessica's father said with anger. “Your family history isn't so good, you know. Wasn't your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.

After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica's parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished,

she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica's closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica's mother sank into a faint(晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.

“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school's skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They're both crazy,” she thought.

本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了一个幽默故事。杰西卡问妈妈“衣橱里放骨骼”是什么意思,妈妈解释说那是不为人知的秘密,并以杰西卡爸爸的祖先做例子,引起了杰西卡爸爸的恼火。饭后,杰西卡爸爸依然生气,杰西卡妈妈熨完衣服后把衣服放到衣橱里,结果发现了衣橱里的骨骼而吓昏过去。原来杰西卡为了完成学校的健康计划,把骨骼带回了家并放在了衣橱里。

1.According to Jessica's mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means ________.

A.a family honor

C.a family story B.a family secret D.a family treasure

答案:B。细节理解题。由第一段的“it's something that you would rather not have anyone else know about”可知,B项正确。

2.What can we learn about some Australians' ancestors from Paragraph 2?

A.They were brought to Australia as prisoners.

B.They were the earliest people living in Australia.

C.They were involved in some crimes in Australia.

D.They were not regarded as criminals in their days.

答案:A。推理判断题。根据第二段的“but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners”可推断A项正确,即一些澳大利亚人的祖先是被作为犯人带到澳大利亚。

3.Jessica's mother fell down into a faint because she was ________.

A.knocked

C.injured B.frightened D.surprised

答案:B。推理判断题。杰西卡的妈妈是看到了衣橱里的骨骼而晕倒的,我们推断应该是吓倒的。

4.Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home?

A.She was curious about it.

B.She planned to keep it for fun.

C.She needed it for her school task. D.She intended to scare her parents. 答案:C。细节理解题。由最后一段的“You just destroyed the school's skeleton...I brought it home to help me with my health project”可知答案C正确。

5.Jessica's parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because ________.

A.they were crazy

B.they were overexcited

C.they realized their misunderstanding

D.they both thought they had won the quarrel

答案:C。推理判断题。通读全文可知,杰西卡的父母误解了杰西卡的意思。

B

(2011·广东卷,B)

Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight.

A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.

However, it wasn't all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.

In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. They are learning how to talk each other's language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog” ,and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”.

What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other's body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each other's presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.

The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets—to people

who don't get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.

有人一直担心如果在家里同时养猫和狗,它们会相处得不好。可是研究发现猫和狗是可以和谐相处的。既然猫狗都能和谐相处,人和人以及世界大国之间就更容易做到这一点了。

6.The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.

A. early

C. quickly B. sweetly D. smoothly

答案:B。词义猜测题。文章第一段第一句话“Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home?”意为“猫和狗在一个家里能和谐相处吗?”有人担心它们会打架,但是研究发现,如果猫被领养在先,而且它们都在很小的时候就认识的话,它们很可能会相处得很和谐。sweetly“甜美地”;smoothly“顺利地”。所以swimmingly在此意为sweetly。另外第二段第一句话:“However, it wasn't all sweetness and light.”中也有暗示。

7.Some cats and dogs may fight when________.

A. they are cold to each other

B. they look away from each other

C. they misunderstand each other's signals

D. they are introduced at an early age

答案:C。细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三句话“There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite.”可知因为猫狗的有些身体信号正好相反,所以才打架或对彼此冷漠。

8.What is found

beyond closet

surprising about cats and dogs?

A. They eat and sleep together.

B. They observe each other's behaviours.

C. They learn to speak each other's language.

D. They know something from each other's voices.

答案:C。细节理解题。由第三段中的“They are learning how to talk each other's language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ‘dog’,and dogs can learn how to talk ‘cat’.”可知答案。

9.It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________.

A. have common interests

C. have a common body language

B. are less different than was thought D. are less intelligent than was expected

Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.

However, it wasn't all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.

In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. They are learning how to talk each other's language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog” ,and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”.

What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other's body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each other's presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.

The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets—to people who don't get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.

有人一直担心如果在家里同时养猫和狗,它们会相处得不好。可是研究发现猫和狗是可以和谐相处的。既然猫狗都能和谐相处,人和人以及世界大国之间就更容易做到这一点了。

6.The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.

A. early

C. quickly B. sweetly D. smoothly

答案:B。词义猜测题。文章第一段第一句话“Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home?”意为“猫和狗在一个家里能和谐相处吗?”有人担心它们会打架,但是研究发现,如果猫被领养在先,而且它们都在很小的时候就认识的话,它们很可能会相处得很和谐。sweetly“甜美地”;smoothly“顺利地”。所以swimmingly在此意为sweetly。另外第二段第一句话:“However, it wasn't all sweetness and light.”中也有暗示。

7.Some cats and dogs may fight when________.

A. they are cold to each other

B. they look away from each other

C. they misunderstand each other's signals

D. they are introduced at an early age

答案:C。细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三句话“There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite.”可知因为猫狗的有些身体信号正好相反,所以才打架或对彼此冷漠。

8.What is found surprising about cats and dogs?

A. They eat and sleep together.

B. They observe each other's behaviours.

C. They learn to speak each other's language.

D. They know something from each other's voices.

答案:C。细节理解题。由第三段中的“They are learning how to talk each other's language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ?dog?,and dogs can learn how to talk ?cat?.”可知答案。

9.It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________.

A. have common interests

C. have a common body language B. are less different than was thought D. are less intelligent than was expected

答案:B。推理判断题。第四段中的“They can learn how to read each other's body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected.”意为:它们能够学会如何去理解彼此的身体语言,这表明猫狗有比我们以前所认为的更多的相同之处。也就是说,猫狗的不同之处比我们原来认为的要少。所以选B。

10.What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?

A. We should learn to live in harmony.

C. We should live in peace with animals. B. We should know more about animals. D. We should learn more body languages. 答案:A。推理判断题。从最后一段可以推知答案。

My father was a foreman of a sugar-cane plantation in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. My first job was to drive the oxen(牛) that ploughed the cane fields. I would walk behind an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. For $ 1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks. It was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. I’ve never been late for any job since. I also learned about being respectful and faithful
