湖南株洲县2016高考英语阅读理解二轮练习（5）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。most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. it may be walking, cycling, or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. it may be a game of some formsfootball, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. it may be mountaineering.those who have a passion of climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? this astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure. mountaineering is a sport and not a game. there are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. there are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.if we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. we should be mistaken in this. there are, it is true, no “ matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.the mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. he has to fight the forces of nature. his sport requires high mental and physical qualities.a mountain climber continues to improve in skill year by year. a skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. but it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the alps. they may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.【文章大意】本文叙述了登山运动的独特之处以及登山运动员所要战胜的困难。登山运动员不遵循一些人为的规则，而是自由的用自己的方法来攀登，因此登山属于一种运动而不是一种比赛。登山运动员不仅要战胜内心的强迫意识而且要战胜自然界的力量。46. what sports are popular among people in winter in the passage?a. soccer and golf. b. skiing and skating. c. cycling and hockey. d. mountaineering.【答案】b【 解析】细节理解题。根据or in winter, skating or skiing.可知冬季人们喜爱的运动有滑雪和滑冰。故选b47. the underlined word “passion” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by _.a. strong emotion b. good way c. better feeling d. enough affection【答案】a【 解析】词义猜测题。根据willing to suffer cold and hardship and to take risks in high mountains可知登山运动员愿意遭受寒冷和辛苦，冒险登山需要的是很强的热情和激情。故选a48. mountaineering is a sport, not a game because_.a. it has man-made rules b. it is too dangerous for climbersc. it cant bring people joy or leisure d. it is free for climbers to use their own methods【答案】d【 解析】推理判断题。根据those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.可知登山运动员不遵循一些人为的规则，而是自由的用自己的方法来攀登，因此登山属于一种运动而不是一种比赛。故选d。49. we know from the passage that _. a. mountaineering has no appeal for people b. physical quality is more important than mental one for climbersc. a mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirtyd. it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the alps【答案】d【 解析】推理判断题。根据but it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the alps.可知50岁或60岁的男人攀登最高山阿尔卑斯山是很常见的，是有可能的。故选d。50. what is the best title for the passage?a. sports in winter b. team work in climbingc. mountaineering d. the quality for mountaineering 【答案】c【 解析】标题归纳题。全文围绕着登山运动的独特之处，以及登山运动员需要战胜的困难，可知本文主要讲的是登山运动。故选c。阅读理解.why play games?

the pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one. “im just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years.” i say to her, walking bank into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. “you still use a pencil. cant you afford a pen?” my mother replies a little sharply. “it works perfectly well. ive always kept the stand in the kitchen. i never knew when i might want to note down an idea, and i was always in the kitchen in these days.” immediately i can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. my mother smiles and says, “one day i was cooking and watching baby pauline, and i had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. one of the children must have taken the paper. so i just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. it turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem i was working on.” this storywhich happened before i was bornreminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician. i feel embarrassed that i complain about not having enough child-free time to work. later, when my mother is in the bathroom, i go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks i recognize as mathematics. those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible（看不到的）exhibits at every meal.( ) 1. why has the authors mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?a. to leave messages. b. to list her everyday tasks.c. to note down maths problems. d. to write down a flash of inspiration.
