湖南华容县2017高考英语阅读理解一轮编选（五）阅读理解。阅读下列短文,从每题所给出的四个选项(a,b,c 和 d)中,选出最佳选项。 humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own. we take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives. this sense of wonder is universal. look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on mars, and the popularity of fantasy(幻想) literature or movies like the lord of the rings. this sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the world of make-believe. but have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us? human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms. however, people, especially in big cities, often lead rather isolated lives. in a study of british schoolchildren, it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife. without modern technology, a small pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants, insects, birds, and animals. when we lack meaningful interaction(交互) with the world around us, and sometimes even with our families and friends, we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen. the world of make-believe is not necessarily bad. but when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet(出路) for our sense of wonder, then we are really missing something. we are missing a connection with the living world. other wonderful worlds exist all around us. but even more interesting is that if we look closely enough, we can see that these worlds, in a broad sense, are really part of our own. ( ) 1. the popularity of the lord of the rings proves_ a. the close connection between man and the fantasy world b. the wonderful achievements of fantasy literature c. the fine taste of moviegoers around the world d. the general existence of the sense of curiosity ( ) 2. what can we infer from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3? a. people are far less familiar with the world of fantasy. b. the world around us could serve as a source of wonder. c. the world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond. d. modern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder. ( ) 3. if our sense of wonder relies totally on the world of make-believe, we will_ a. fail to appreciate the joy in our lives b. be confused by the world of make-believe c. miss the chance to recognize the fantasy world d. be trapped by other worlds existing all around us ( ) 4. what is the main purpose of the passage? a. to show us the hidden beauty in our world. b. to warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world. c. to argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder. d. to discuss the influence of the world of make-believe. 【语篇解读 语篇解读】本文是一篇论说文,介绍了我们每一个人都有好奇心,总是幻想美好的世界, 语篇解读 但同时,告诫我们,不要沉迷在幻想之中,现实世界也是很美丽的,也是一切期间产生 的根源. 1. 答案 d 【解析】细节理解题.由第二段可知,举 the lord of the rings 这个例子是为了证明人们的 好奇心是普遍存在的.所以答案选 d 项. 2. 答案b 【解析】 推理判断题. without modem technology, a small pond could be an

make-believe is not necessarily bad. but when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet for our sense of wonder, then we are really missing something. we are missing a connection with the living

stop dead in her tracks.being a busy college student just one year removed from her teenage years, she wasnt exactly obsessive-compulsive(有强迫观念和行为的) about the neatness of her clothes. but her boss at the restaurant where she works saw things a little differently. he had recently lectured the entire staff on the importance of appearance, and had specifically mentioned the need for servers to wear clean, unwrinkled blouses. as an assistant manager, janelle felt it was important to set an example for the other employees. but if she stopped to iron the blouse normally, she would be late and work without delay was an area of even greater concern to her boss.so she grabbed her iron and plugged it in and set it for low heat. carefully holding her blouse away from her body, she continued to iron it while she was wearing it. it seemed like a logical answer to an urgent problem.and it seemed to be working until janelle tried to iron the collar and accidentally ironed her neck by mistake. then it suddenly seemed like a really stupid idea and a really painful one as well. it took more time to treat her burn than it would have taken to iron her shirt properly. and she spent a miserable shift dealing with the pain of the burn. weve all been there, havent we? for me it was cutting my own hair. for a former roommate it was trying to pull his own wisdom teeth. for another college acquaintance, it was trying to change the oil in his car while the motor was still running.“theres a right way and a wrong way of doing things,” dad used to tell me whenever id spoil the look of our yard by trying out a faster, easier and more creative way of pulling weeds or edging the lawn. “if a thing is worth doing,” he said, “its worth doing it right.” theres a reason why certain things are

qualities. we may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance. however, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people. how can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed（有缺陷）? if someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. the person who doesnt like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy. perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time. dont take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities. in fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else. for all the factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least as many factors that will work in your favor with someone else. you might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life. there are many people who dont mind your extra pounds. you may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend. there are people out there looking for loyalty, or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important. if you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends. you can decide to feel inferior（自卑） because you dont have much money and you dont drive a nice car. you can believe that this is the reason that you dont have many friends in your life. on the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes you as a person. the point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe its the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any. 36. according to the

eight19, a british company by cambridge university, has, however, invented a novel way to get round this. in return for a deposit of around $10 it is supplying poor kenyan families with a solar cell able to generate 2.5 watts of electricity, a battery that can deliver a three amp（安培） current to store this electricity, and a lamp whose bulb is a light-emitting diode（二极管）. the firm thinks that this system, once the battery is fully charged, is enough to light two small rooms and to power a mobile-phone charger for seven hours. then, next day, it can be put outside and charged back up again.the trick is that, to be able to use the electricity, the systems keeper must buy a scratch cardfor as little as a dollaron which is printed a reference number. the keeper sends this reference, plus the serial number of the household solar unit, by sms to eight19. the companys server will respond automatically with an access code to the unit.users may consider that they are paying an hourly rate for their electricity. in fact, they are paying off the cost of the unit. after buying around $80 worth of scratch cardswhich eight19 expects would take the average family around 18 monthsthe user will own it. he will then have the option of continuing to use it for nothing, or of trading it in for a bigger one, perhaps driven by a 10-watt solar cell.in that case, he would go then through the same process again, paying off the additional cost of the upgraded kit at a slightly higher rate. users would therefore increase their electricity supply steadily and affordably. according to eight19s figures, this looks like a good deal for customers. the firm believes the average energy-starved kenyan spends around $10 a month on oilenough to fuel a couple of smoky lampsplus $2 on charging his mobile phone in the market-place. regular users of one of eight19s basic solar units will spend around half that, before owning it completely. meanwhile, as the cost of solar technology falls, it should get even cheaper. 41. the underlined word “get round” in the first paragraph can be replaced by _ .a. make use of b. come up with c. look into d. deal with 【答案】d【解析】词义猜测题。make use of利用； come up with想出； look into调查； deal with处理。根据solar power is still quite expensive及eight19, a british company by cambridge university, has, however, invented a novel way to因为太阳能仍然很贵，所以eight19发明了一个新的方法来解决这个问题，故选d。 42. what should the user do when the electricity in the battery is used up?a. buy a scratch card. b. recharge it outside.c. buy another solar cell.d. return it to the company.【答案】b【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句then, next day, it can be put outside and charged back up again.可知没有电了，你可以把它放在外面重新充电，故选a。43. how
