课时提能练(二十三).阅读理解A(2019湖北省重点中学考试)Dont have plenty of time for reading？If you are interested in nonfiction books，here are good choices for you.A Room of Ones OwnThis essay by English writer Virginia Woolf is based on her several lectures given to two womens colleges at Cambridge University in 1928.In it，Woolf describes that its circumstance not talent alone that allows men to be more successful at writing.Women，in other words，spend so much time cooking，cleaning，and tending to their children that they have no time left for art.To write well，therefore，a woman must have “a room of her own”While on its surface，this essay appears to be only about writing，it is actually about wealth and class，freedom and imprisonment，and the power struggle between sexes.The Art of WarWritten by ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Zi，The Art of War is widely considered to be one of the best books about military strategy(军事战略) in human history.Consisting of 13 chapters，each dealing with a separate aspect about how to fight a war，the book has been translated into many languages and has thousands of editions.For centuries，it has been used to train military leaders for its detailed study of military strategy and effective leadership.Letter to My DaughterThis book of essays and poems by Maya Angelou，a respectable American poet，is written for “the daughter she never had”the millions of women，both young and old，who she considers to be her “family”From the viewpoint of a caring，older relative，this book contains lessons selected from her own life experiences，including the birth of her only child，a son，as well as the development and loss of friendship.A Brief History of TimeIf youre short on time，then why not read about，well，the creation of time？This book，first published in 1998 from brilliant scientist and mathematician Stephen Hawking，explores mindbending questions about the creation of the universe，including if and when it will end，and if so，how.Despite its heavy subject matter，Hawking addresses these questions in a way thats easy to understand，even for those who know little about physics.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了四本纪实类文学作品。1What can we learn about the four books?AA Brief History of Time mainly focuses on the matter of time.BLetter to My Daughter is actually a common family letter.CThe Art of War gives advice on how to be military leaders.DA Room of Ones Own is more than about writing.D细节理解题。根据第二段中的“While on its surface，this essay appears to be only about writing，it is actually about wealth and class，freedom and imprisonment，and the power struggle between sexes”可知，虽然表面上这篇文章只跟写作有关，但是实际上它是有关财富和社会等级，自由和监禁以及两性之间的权力之争的，所以D项正确。more than意思是“不仅仅”。2What can be inferred from the passage?AAs a physicist，Hawking is equally famous for writing.BMaya devotes herself to fighting for womens rights.CThe book by Sun Zi is helpful in policymaking.DWoolf looks down upon men in writing.C推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The Art of War is widely considered to be one of the best books about military strategy(军事战略)”和“each dealing with a separate aspect about how to fight a war”可知，The Art of War对政策的制定有帮助。所以选项C正确。3What is the purpose of the passage?ATo make comparisons between the four books.BTo recommend the four books to readers.CTo make comments on the four books.DTo promote sales of the four books.B写作意图题。根据第一段“Dont have plenty of time for reading？If you are interested in nonfiction books，here are good choices for you”可知，写作本文的目的是向读者介绍文中提到的四本作品。所以选项B正确。B(2019重庆调研)I love the iPhone.I still remember the excitement I felt peeling back the protective plastic from my shiny new iPhone XWhat a gorgeous piece of technology! That feeling didnt last.I could point out a list of complaints，like how Face ID is inconsistent，the bright metal casing is scratchprone(易擦伤的)，and the price tag is astronomical.But theres really one shortcoming that matters to me.Though the phone is only a bit bigger than the iPhone 6，iPhone 7，and iPhone 8，the bigger screen dramatically changes how you interact with the device.The new gestures required by the notch at the top of the phone mean theres no way to look at my notifications (通知) or access the control center with only one hand.It considerably limits the usability of the phone when Im on the go or when I have only one hand free.The top two rows of apps on the home screen are basically inaccessible without a sliding move，and it makes me paranoid (患妄想狂的) if Im going to drop the $1,000 device.The fear of dropping the phone comes from the $549 bill spent on repairing the cracked glass on its back.I hate the idea of risking that just trying to see my notifications.With my previous iPhone，the iPhone 6，I could use my pinky (小手指) as a kind of shelf for the phone to sit on as I tapped away，texting，checking email，or changing songs on Spotify.The iPhone Xs size doesnt let that happen.I envied my friend when she showed me her new iPhone 8.At first，I thought it was just an adjustment period.I experienced something similar with my previous phone.Like the iPhone Xs new shape，the iPhone 6 represented a dramatic departure in form from previous iPhones.When I upgraded to the iPhone 6 from my iPhone 4S，I had similar doubts about onehanded use.I ended up falling in love with the phone.That same thing did not happen with the iPhone X after a month into using it.Determined!【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者买了一部新的iPhone X之后发现这部手机的诸多缺点。4According to the writer，what is exactly wrong with the iPhone X?AIts price is too high.BIts screen is a bit too big.CIts Face ID is inconsistent.DIts metal frame is easy to be scratched.B细节理解题。根据文章第二段的第二句“But theres really one shortcoming that matters to me”和第三段的描述可知，在作者看来，屏幕太大、难以操作是真正的不足之处，故选B项。5How do you think the writer will look at the notifications for safe?AUse the pinky as a shelf.BUse the iPhone X with a sliding move.CUse the iPhone X with both hands.DUse the iPhone X with only one hand free.C细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“The new gestures required by the notch at the top of the phone mean theres no way to look at my notifications(通知) or access the control center with only one hand.”和“It considerably limits the usability of the phone when Im on the go or when I have only one hand free”可知，作者查看通知时应是用两只手使用iPhone X手机，故选C项。6How much has the writer spent on the iPhone X?A$451.B$549.C$1,000. D$1,549.D推理判断题。上文讲了iPhone X手机诸多的缺点，特别是使用不方便，第三段提到“and it makes me paranoid(患妄想狂的) if Im going to drop the $1,000 device.on its back”可知，iPhone X手机价格为1 000美元，而作者因为修它已花费了549美元，作者在这部手机上已花费了1 549美元，故选D项。7What do you think the writer will do according to the passage?ADowngrade the iPhone X.BChange the using habits.CStop using the iPhone.DGo on with the adjustment period.A推理判断题。根据第四段中的“When I upgraded to the iPhone 6 from my iPhone 4S，I had similar doubts about onehanded use.I ended up falling in love with the phone.That same thing did not happen with the iPhone X after a month into using it.Determined”并结合全文讲述iPhone X的诸多缺点可以推知，作者以前从iPhone 4S升级成iPhone 6时，一开始也有类似的疑惑，但最后适应了；而这一次用了一个月也没有适应，所以作者要降级iPhone X手机，downgrade和upgrade是一对反义词，故选A项。.阅读七选五(2019山东省高三预测)There are two types of party attendees(参加者)：Those who count the minutes until they can go home，and those who stay until the early hours of morning.Regardless of which category you fall into，though，you must have secretly wondered about the best time to head out the door. 1 Not only do you want to avoid being impolite，but you also dont want to overstay your welcome.Thankfully，Thomas Blaikie can help you out with this delicate matter.According to Blaikie，there is a golden time to leave the gathering without appearing rude. 2 If its a sitdown dinner party，but you have to leave for something urgent，you should remain until all courses have been served.Its considered rude to leave before dessert. 3 Aim to say your goodbyes at 11：15 pm.Dont be the last person to leave. 4 Chatting with a drink in your hand can easily make you lose track of the time.And dont worry about hurting your host if you must turn down an offer.After all，your host is tired out.This advice depends on how well you know your host，of course. 5 He also might appreciate it if you stayed behind to help clean up.In that case，youll need to know the best cleaning tips for a dinner party.AAs for the weekends?BOn a we
