浙江余姚市2016高考英语阅读理解（二轮）选练2016高考训练题。阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality(理性), but when it comes to my college education i am an idealist and a fool. in high school i wanted to be an electrical engineer and , of course, any reasonable student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, many famous professors and lots of good labs and research equipment. but thats not what i did.i chose to study engineering in a small liberal-arts(文科) university that doesnt even offer a major in electrical engineering. obviously, this was not a practical choice; i came here for more noble reasons. i wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my job. i wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by communicating with people who werent studying science or engineering. my parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a wise choice. the told me i was wise and grown-up beyond my 18 years, and i believed them.i headed off to the college and sure i was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering “factories” where they didnt care if you had values or were flexible. i was going to be a complete engineer: technical expert and excellent humanist all in one.now im not so sure. somewhere along the way my noble ideas crashed into reality, as all noble ideas finally do. after three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses, i have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.the reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply dont mix as easily as i supposed in high school. individually they shape a person in very different ways. the struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.1. at present, the writer is studying_.a. engineering at a college with a large engineering department.b. engineering in a small liberal-arts university.c. noble ideas have nothing to do with reality.d. the writer considered his noble ideas as valuable as others.2. what problem has the writer found in his study at college?a. he cant get used to the engineer factory.b. math, physics and engineering courses are too difficult to learn.c. its hard to combine engineering with the literal arts.d. he has made no progress in the literal arts.3. how has the writer felt about his choice?a. he felt proud at the beginning but a bit doubtful at present.b. he has been feeling positive all the time.c. he has decided to give up.d. he shares the same opinion with his parents and teachers.参考答案13、baca阅读理解。“experience may possibly be the best teacher, but it is not a particularly good teacher.” you might think that winston churchill or perhaps mark twain spoke those words, but they actually come from james march, a professor at stanford university and a pioneer in the field of organization decision making. for years march( possibly be wisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act, and he continues to do so in his new book the ambiguities of experience.he begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning :“experience is respected；experience is sought；experience is explained.” the problem is that learning from experience involves（涉及）serious complications（复杂化），ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which march discusses in the body of this book.in one interesting part of book，for example，he turns a double eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. he says “the more accurately（精确的）reality is presented，the less understandable the story，and the more understandable the story, the less realistic it is.”besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher. march is also a poet, and his gift shines though in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. though the book is short, it is demanding；dont pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons. rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.( ) 1. according to the text, james march is _. a. a poet who uses experience in his writingb. a teacher who teachers story writing in universityc. a researcher who studies the way humans think and actd. a professor who helps organizations make important decisions( ) 2. according to james march, experience _. a. is overvalued b. is easy to explainc. should be actively sought d. should be inactively sought( ) 3. what can we learn from paragraph 3? a. experience makes stories more accurate.b. stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth.c. the use of stories is the best way of experiential learning.d. stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described.( ) 4.whats the purpose of this text? a. to introduce a book. b. to describe a researcher.c. to explain experiential learning. d. to discuss organizational decision making.【答案与解析】【要点综述】文章介绍了james march所著的一本名为the ambiguities of experience书。本书针对人们生活中过分依赖经验这一现象作了分析实际上是告诫人们不可高估经验的作用。1c 细节理解题。根据首段“for years march ( possibly be wisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act,”可知。2a 推理判断题。根据首段第一句及第2段“the problem is that learning from experience involves（涉及）serious

is.”可判断正确答案为b。4a 推理判断题。此题判断作者的写作意图。从首段最末一句“he continues to do so in his new book the ambiguities of experience.”及末段“though the book is short, it is demanding；don t pick it up looking for quick, easy
