高考题型组合练40阅读理解阅读理解书面表达.阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。(2017衡阳第八中学、永州市第四中学联考)A“My work is done.”Those words were some of the last penned by George Eastman.He included them in his suicide note.They mark an ignoble end to a noble life，the leave taking of a truly great man.The same words could now be said for the company he left behind.Actually，the Eastman Kodak Company is through.It has been mismanaged financially，technologically and competitively.For 20 years，its leaders have foolishly spent down the patrimony of a centurys prosperity.One of Americas bedrock brands is about to disappear，the Kodak moment has passed.But George Eastman is not how he died，and the Eastman Kodak Company is not how it is being killed.Though the ends be needless and premature，they must not be allowed to overshadow the greatness that came before.Few companies have done so much good for so many people，or defined and lifted so profoundly the spirit of a nation and perhaps the world.It is impossible to understand the 20th Century without recognizing the role of the Eastman Kodak Company.Kodak served mankind through entertainment，science，national defense and the stockpiling of family memories.Kodak took us to the top of Mount Suribachi and to the Sea of Tranquility.It introduced us to the merry old Land of Oz and to stars from Charlie Chaplin to John Wayne，and Elizabeth Taylor to Tom Hanks.It showed us the shot that killed President Kennedy，and his brother bleeding out on a kitchen floor，and a fallen Martin Luther King Jr.on the hard balcony of a Memphis motel.When that sailor kissed the nurse，and when the spy planes saw missiles in Cuba，Kodak was the eyes of a nation.From the deck of the Missouri to the grandeur of Monument Valley，Kodak took us there.Virtually every significant image of the 20th Century is a gift to posterity(繁荣) from the Eastman Kodak Company.In an era of easy digital photography，when we can take a picture of anything at any time，we cannot imagine what life was like before George Eastman brought photography to people.Yes，there were photographers，and for relatively large sums of money they would take stilted(不自然的) pictures in studios and formal settings.But most people couldnt afford photographs，and so all they had to remember distant loved ones，or earlier times of their lives，was memory.Children could not know what their parents had looked like as young people，grandparents far away might never learn what their grandchildren looked like.Eastman Kodak allowed memory to move from the uncertainty of recollection，to the permanence of a photograph.But it wasnt just people whose features were savable; it was events，the sacred and precious times that families cherish.The Kodak moment，was humanitys moment.And it wasnt just people whose features were savable; it was events，the precious times that families cherish.Kodak let the fleeting moments of birthdays and weddings，picnics and parties，be preserved and saved.It allowed for the creation of the most egalitarian art form.Lovers could take one anothers pictures，children were photographed walking out the door on the first day of school，the person releasing the shutter decided what was worth recording，and hundreds of millions of such decisions were made.And for centuries to come，those long dead will smile and dance and communicate to their unborn progeny(子孙)Family history will be not only names on paper，but smiles on faces.The cash flow not just provided thousands of people with job，but also allowed the companys founder to engage in some of the most generous charity in Americas history.Not just in Kodaks home city of Rochester，New York，but in Tuskegee and London，and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.He bankrolled(资助) two historically black colleges，fixed the teeth of Europes poor，and quietly did good wherever he could.While doing good，Kodak did very well.Over all the years，all the Kodakers over all the years are essential parts of that monumental legacy.They prospered a great company，but theywith that companyblessed the world.That is what we should remember about the Eastman Kodak Company.Like its founder，we should remember how it lived，not how it died.History will forget the small men who have scuttled this company.But history will never forget Kodak.【语篇解读】文章叙述了柯达公司的没落，柯达公司对世界作出的巨大贡献以及作者对柯达公司的敬仰。1According to the passage，which of the following is to blame for the fall of Kodak?AThe invention of easy digital photography.BThe poor management of the company.CThe early death of George Eastman.DThe quick rise of its business competitors.解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“It has been mismanaged financially，technologically and competitively”可知B正确。答案：B2It can be learnt from the passage that George Eastman_Adied a natural death of old age.Bhappened to be on the spot when President Kennedy was shot dead.Cset up his company in the capital of the US before setting up its branches all over the world.Dwas not only interested in commercial profits，but also in the improvement of other peoples lives.解析：推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中“He bankrolled two historically black colleges，fixed the teeth of Europes poor，and quietly did good wherever he could.While doing good，Kodak did very well”可知柯达公司不仅仅是在经济上很成功而且还做了很多善事。故D正确。答案：D3Before George Eastman brought photography to people，_Ano photos has ever been taken of people or eventsBphotos were very expensive and mostly taken indoorsCpainting was the only way for people to keep a record of their ancestors.Dgrandparents never knew what their grandchildren looked like.解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中“Yes，there were photographers，and for relatively large sums of money they would take stilted pictures in studios and formal settings.But most people couldnt afford photographs.”可知B正确。答案：B4The person releasing the shutter (Paragraph 5) was the one_Awho took the photographBwho wanted to have a photo takenCwhose decisions shaped the Eastman Kodak CompanyDwhose smiles could long be seen by their children解析：推理判断题。根据“the person releasing the shutter decided what was worth recording”可知这个人是拍照片的那个人，是由他来决定什么东西值得记录。答案：AB(2017长沙高三联考)(导学号 58210081)Every day，millions of shoppers hit the stores in full forceboth online and on foot searching for the perfect gift.Aside from purchasing holiday gifts，most people regularly buy presents for other occasions throughout the year，including weddings，birthdays，anniversaries，graduations，and baby showers.This frequent experience of gift-giving can cause ambivalent feelings in gift-givers.Many enjoy the opportunity to buy presents because gift-giving offers a powerful means to build stronger bonds with ones closest persons.At the same time，many fear the thought of buying gifts; they worry that their purchases will disappoint rather than delight the intended receivers.What is surprising is that gift-givers have considerable experience acting as both gift-givers and gift-recipients，but nevertheless tend to overspend each time they set out to purchase a meaningful gift.In the present research，we propose a unique psychological explanation for this overspending problem ie.，that gift-givers equate how much they spend with how much receivers will appreciate the gift (the more expensive the gift，the stronger a gift-recipients feelings of appreciation)Although a link between gift price and feelings of appreciation might seem intuitive (凭直觉得到的) to gift-givers，such an assumption may be unfounded.Indeed，we propose that gift-receivers will seldom tend to base their feelings of appreciation on the significance weight of a gift than givers assume.Why do gift-givers assume that gift price is closely linked to gift-recipients feelings of appreciation? Perhaps givers believe that bigger (i.e.，more expensive) gifts convey stronger signals of thought fullness and consideration.According to Camerer (1988) and others，gift-giving represents a symbolic ritual(礼节)，by which gift-givers attempt to signal their positive attitudes toward the intended receiver and their willingness to invest resources in a future relationship.In this sense，gift-givers may be motivated to spend more money on a gift in order to send a “stronger signal” to their intended receiver.As for gift-receivers，they may not consider smaller and larger gifts as representing smaller and larger signals of thoughtfulness and consideration.In practical terms，people spend hundreds of dollars each year on gifts，but somehow never learn to measure their gift expenses according to personal insight.【语篇解读】赠送礼物是一个积极的社交过程，具有政治、宗教、心理等各种功能，但是同时赠送者也会遇到问题。5The underlined word “ambivalent” most nearly means_AunrealisticBconflictedCappreciative Dsupportive解析：细节理解题。根据文中语境可知，这句话的意思是：经常送礼导致送礼者产生矛盾情绪，所以这里ambivalent是有冲突的意思。A.unrealistic“不现实的”；B.conflicted“冲突的”；C.appreciative“欣赏的”；D.supportive“支持的”。所以选B。答案：B6The author indicates that people value gift-giving because they feel it_Afunctions as a form of self-expression.Bis an inexpensive way to show appreciation.Crequires the gift-receivers to return.Dcan serve to strengthen a relationship.解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“Many enjoy the opportunity to buy presents because gift-giving offers a powerful means to build stronger bonds with ones closest persons.”可知，人们看中赠送礼物是因为这样可以增强感情。所以选D。答案：D7The author refers to work by Camerer and others in order to_Aoffer an explanation Bintroduce an argumentCquestion an intension Dsupport a conclusion解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Why do gift-givers assume that gift price is closely linked to gift-recipients feelings of appreciation? Perhaps givers believe that bigger (i.e.，more expensive) gifts convey stronger signals of thoughtfulness and consideration.According to Camerer (1988) and others，”可知，作者提到Camerer和其他人是想作出进一步的解释。所以选A。答案：A.书面表达(2017惠州高三4月模拟考试)假如你是李华，你的外国朋友John想通过阅读提高汉语水平，了解中国文化，希望你为他推荐一本中文书籍。请你用英语给他回一封信，内容包括以下要点：1推荐阅读西游记 Journey To The West；2推荐的理由；3鼓励他坚持阅读，学好中文。注意：1.词数100左右；2可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；3开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数；参考词汇：Buddhist monk (唐僧)Buddhist scriptures(佛经)disciple (弟子)Dear John，I am so glad to hear from you._Best wishes to you.Yours，Li Hua【语篇解读】这是一篇提纲作文，让我们写一封信为外国朋友推荐一本中文书籍，这需要我们将提供的信息用英语完整流畅地表达出来。写作需要用第三人称，时态主要是一般现在时，内容要点包括：推荐阅读西游记Journey To The West的理由，鼓励他坚持阅读，学好中文。首先总体介绍西游记，然后介绍推荐的理由，最后是鼓励。重点短语与句型： work on(从事)；recommend sb.sth.(推荐某人某物)；the Four Great Classical Novels(四大古典小说)；in search of(寻找)答案：Dear_John，I_am_so_glad_to_hear_from_you.Learning that you are working on Chinese，I strongly recommend you the novel Journey to the West.The novel is one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature.The tale
