2015河南省晋州市高考英语阅读理解一轮统练（3）及答案阅读理解a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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。women, be on your guard. there is a new male excuse for not listening to us.a recent study shows that men find it almost impossible to listen to what women say because their brains are out of synch（不同步的）with complex female tones. apparently, when men listen to other men about the things they care about, they use only the frontal area of their brains. however, when they listen to women its different story. they have to work much harder, employing a part of the brain that normally deals with music. so when a man tells you your voice is music to his ears, hes actually telling the truth, though not in a good way. im sure a lot of women could recall times when they have wasted hours explaining why they are completely right about everything in the world, only to wake up the next day to discover that not one brilliant point got through. those times when men havent listened to me, i just thought i was being ignored. i didnt realize i just wasnt singing their favorite music. if id realized i was being heard as music, i would have had a bit of fun with it. whenever i wanted a discussion, id have brought along my own band, complete with string and horn sections. it is difficult not to be suspicious of yet more scientific findings sparing men the blame because of their biology. isnt this slaves to biology all-purpose excuse wearing thin? its enough to make you wonder at what a strange helpless species men are -which part of the body will be beyond their control next. even if there is something in it, we have to take into account that most relationships are likely to become boring. thats the truth of the matter. male or female, your voice might start out as music to your beloveds ears. but finally it will end up as boredom. when your beautiful tones are there all the time, as they go about their daily business, you start to blend in a bit too much, until finally you become a kind of background noise. 1the author of this passage tries to _. a. throw doubts on a commonly accepted idea b. explain a commonly accepted idea as it is c. give some advice on a common problem d. argue against a common belief 答案解析：答案为b。本题考查文章的写作目的。本文第二段就揭示了为什么男性听不进去女性的话的原因，文章后面的内容对此进行了阐述。故答案为b。2according to the new study, men dont listen to women because _ . a. what women say are usually boring b. they dont care about what women say c. they cant deal with female voices d. they regard female voices as music 答案解析：答案为c。本题为推理题。由第三段的内容可知，男性在听同性的话语的时候只是用了大脑的前面区域；然而听女性的话语的时候，却更费力，因为要使用通常用来听音乐的那部分的大脑区域。故可推断，男性不听女性的话是因为他们大脑不能非常容易地处理女性的声音。故答案为c。干扰性最强的d选项 “他们把女性的声音当成音乐” 与文意不符。故错误。3the underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph shows that the author is _. a. realistic b. humorous c. serious d. funny 答案解析：答案为b。本题为句意推断题。结合第五段的内容，作者以女性的口吻谈到如果她早意识到她是因为 “音乐”而被男人倾听，她会为此而感到些许开怀。无论何时，如果她想要一场“讨论”，就会带上自己的乐队，弦号俱全。故可以推断，划线部分的语言显得幽默。4what does the author think of the finding of the new study? a. she thinks it doubtful. b. she thinks it interesting. c. she thinks it needs further proof. d. she thinks it right. 答案解析：答案为a。本题为细节推断题。由倒数第三段首句 “it is difficult not to be suspicious of ” 可知，本句话的同义词就是doubtful.故答案为a。5the author would most probably agree that _. a. men should accept what women say b. women should talk less and do more housework c. however beautiful voices may be, they will finally become boring d. the relationship between men and women should always be improving 答案解析：答案为c。本题为推理题。从最后一段 “when your beautiful tones are there all the time, as they go about their daily business, you start to blend in a bit too much, until finally you become a kind of background noise.” 可知，当你美妙的旋律每天都出现在男人日常生活中的时候，最后也会变成背景噪音。故答案为c. a、b未提及；倒数第二段首句提到了 “ most relationships are likely to become boring.” d选项与此不符，故错误。【2014高考英语安徽省皖南八校二模】e there are always minorities, either people or enterprises, that have absolute advantage（绝对优势）in a field; the majority apply their comparative advantage（相对优势） to professions where they do their best to be effective players . based on comparative advantage, different divisions are formed as international trade and the globalized economy develop. oranges are flourishing in florida in the united states, for example, shoes are made perfectly in wenzhou of china, and people in both areas need oranges and shoes. in wenzhou, one could try to create an artificial environment for orange trees of an international standard, and in florida workers could be trained to make shoes as effectively as workers in wenzhou using the same resources. however, the costs would be too high. the best solution, therefore, is to allow each location to specialize in its own product, producing enough to meet local needs and exporting the rest. as a result, people in both areas end up with lower cost and higher quality goods than if each tried to produce both. it is obvious that absolute advantage occurs in this process. however, absolute advantage may not necessarily apply everywhere. for instance, i know a capable company boss, who is also an expert in private cars and very skillful at changing car oil, even more efficiently than a mechanic, but, almost every time he drives his car to a garage to have the oil changed by a mechanic since he believes he can use the time to do something more valuable. what he uses here is his comparative advantage rather than absolute advantage. the same theory may also apply to individual careers. you may not be the best in a certain area, but still have a comparative advantage, which will not be reduced in relation to others absolute advantage, and you can still find an advantaged position in which your disadvantage is smaller relative to others. an ordinary talent can, therefore, achieve outstanding results by rightfully exploring his or her comparative advantage. in this sense, we may say that comparative advantage really works.72.from the example about orange in florida and shoes in wenzhou ,we can draw the conclusion that _.a. the field in wenzhou can be improved to grow oranges .b. florida workers could be trained to make shoes .c. we should fully use our absolute advantage in our advantaged field.d. our comparative advantage is equal to our absolute one as to making fortunes .73.why doesnt the capable company boss change his car oil himself ? _a. the mechanic is more efficient than him .b. he neednt do it by himself for his riches.c. he would rather do something more valuable .d. changing oil is beyond his ability.74.which of the following is right according to paragraph 4. ? _a. you should use your absolute advantage in your work definitely .b. you must work hard to improve your absolute advantage to be the best worker .c. if others absolute advantage is larger , your comparative advantage is smaller .d. sometimes you may still use your comparative advantage to find your advantaged position .75.this article can be entitled “_”.a. the advantage of comparative advantage.b. the advantage of absolute advantagec. absolute advantagethe secret to make different talents d. comparative advantagethe way to achieve outstanding results【参考答案】e篇 ccda【2014高考英语安徽省联考模拟试题】a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。sometimes youll hear people say that you cant love others until you love yourself. sometimes youll hear people say that you cant expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. either way, youve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. sure we all know that were the apple of our parents eyes, and that our grandmas think were great talents and our uncle roberts think that we will go to the olympics. but sometimes its a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. if you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.self-image is your own minds picture of yourself. this image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.the best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your success. that is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. dont allow doubts to occur in it. it very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you cant move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. if you think youre silly because you arent good at math, find a tutor. if you think youre weak because you cant run a mile, get to the track and practice. if you think youre dull because you dont wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. but remember, just because you think it doesnt mean its true. the best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. when you can pat yourself on the back, youll know youre well on your way. good luck!56. you need to build a positive self-image when you _.a. dare to challenge yourselfb. feel it hard to change yourselfc. are unconfident of yourself d. have a high opinion of yourself57. according to the passage, our self-images _.a. have positive effects b. are probably untruec. are often changeable d. have different functions58. how should you change your self-image according to the passage?a. to keep a different image of others.b. to make your life successful.c. to understand your own world.d. to change the way you think.59. who are the intended readers of the passage?a. parents. b. adolescents. c. educators. d. people in general. 【参考答案】56-59 cbdb 阅读理解-ait is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers(生产商) follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征) of clothes. what seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. take a look at the way your clothes button. mens clothes tend to button from the right, and womens from the left. considering most of the worlds population-men and women-are right-handed, the mens standard would appear to make more sense for women. so why do womens clothes button from the left? history really seems to matter here. buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. for the mostly right-handed servants, having womens shirts button from the left would be easier. on the other hand, having mens shirts button from the right made sense, too. most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt. today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them. is it interesting? actually, a standard, once set, resists change. at a time when all womens shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer womens shirts that buttoned from the right. after all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing mens shirts.
