株洲市2014高考英语阅读理解、短文改错训练（8）及答案 (第 篇)when women sit together to watch a movie on tv, they usually talk simultaneously (同时地) about a variety of subjects, including children, men, careers and what s happening in their lives. when groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up.men can either talk or watch the screen they cant do both and they don t understand that women can. besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.during the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. he is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships. for a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. for men, to talk is to relate the facts.men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding. a woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.there is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls mothers talked to them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. psychiatrist dr michael lewis, author of social behaviour and language acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to, and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias of their children. since a girl s brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we therefore talk to them more. consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually disappointed to receive only short grunts in reply.语篇解读女人在一起总是有说不完的话，甚至能一边看电影一边聊，男人却做不到，这是为什么？因为她们认为感情联络很重要，而且她们的大脑在这方面有着特殊功能。1while watching tv with others, women usually talk a lot because they_.a. are afraid of awkward silence with their

great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly understand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult. because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.most do not fully see this truth. instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. it seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.what makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness, or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. these are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. and since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. when we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. it is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. as benjamin franklin said, those things that hurt, instruct. it is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems. 1. from the passage, it can be inferred that _. a. everybody has problems b. we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of life c. life is difficult because our problems bring us pain d. people like to complain about their problems 2. the writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to _. a. save spaceb. persuade readers c. make readers laughd. get readers attention 3. the main idea of paragraph 3 is that _. a. most people feel life is easy b. the writer feels life is easy c. the writer likes to complain about his problems d. most people complain about how hard their lives are4. according to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to_. a. encourage them to learn b. teach them to fear the pain of solving the problem c. help them learn to deal with pain d. teach them how to respect from problems 5. the saying from benjamin franklin “those things that hurt, instruct” suggests that _. a. we do not learn from experienceb. we do not learn when we are in painc. pain teaches us important lessonsd. pain cannot be avoided参考答案bddac *结束 (2010河南五校联考)after i finished the school this year, i began to1._look for work. now several month later, i still hadnt 2._found the job that i was interested. last sunday morning，3._i received a phone

school是固定搭配，表示“毕业”。2monthmonthsmonth是可数名词，several暗示应用复数形式。3interested后加inbe interested in是固定搭配，表示“对感兴趣”。4himhimselfcalling himself mr. smith短语作定语，修饰a man表示“自称mr. smith”的男子。5dodid根据逻辑可知这里表示毕业前的情况，故用一般过去时。do well in“干得好”。67beatenbeatinga beating heart“忐忑不安的心”。8willwould这里应考虑主从句时态的呼应，故用过去将来时。9surprisedsurpriseto ones surprise是固定搭配，表示“令某人惊讶的是”。10said后加waswhat he said是主语从句，“他的话是令人失望的”。句子缺少系动词。*结束1. 这种文章是客观的介绍。通常介绍其地理位置、面积、气候、自然资源和居民等。2. 有时也有类似广告的文体出现，文章内容简介、明快。3.组织这类文章的结构，说明顺序分明，描述要详略得当，重点突出，文章错落有致。4. 题目的考查多以细节为主，例如地点的特征，旅游的方式和建议，房间、经典的价格计算等。5. 主旨大意大多集中在描写本篇文章的目的，文章的出处等。链接高考链接1. （2012重庆卷）there is no better way to enjoy scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little whisky(威士忌)at a quiet place like the inverlochy castle. when
