山东省巨野县2016高考英语二轮阅读理解自练（6）阅读理解-aeven before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. once i came out of the kitchen, complaining, “mom, i cant peel potatoes. i have only one hand.” mom never looked up from sewing. “you get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “and dont ever use that as an excuse for anything again!” in the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. when it was my turn, i shook my head. some kids behind me laughed, and i went home crying. that night i told mom about it. she hugged me, and i saw her “well see about that” look. the next afternoon, she took me back to school. at the deserted playground, mom looked carefully at the bars. “now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. she stood by as i struggled to lift myself with my right hand until i could hook the bar with my other elbow. day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung i reached. ill never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, i looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open. one night, after a dance at my new junior high, i lay in bed sobbing. i could hear mom come into my room. “mom,” i said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.” for a long time, i didnt hear anything. then she said, “oh, honey, someday youll be beating those boys off with a bat.” her voice was faint and cracking. i peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. then i knew how much she suffered on my behalf. she had never let me see her tears.1. which of the following expressions can be used most suitably to describe mom s attitude when she made the child to peel potatoes?a. cruel. b. serious. c. strict. d. cold.答案解析：答案为c。 本题为细节推理题。由第二段妈妈说的话 “and dont ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”可知，妈妈的话语非常坚定，对孩子要求非常严格，故答案为c。2. from the passage, we know monkey bars can help a child train _.a. the skill to throw and catch thingsb. the speed of ones hand movementc. the strength and skill to hang and swayd. the bodily skill to rotate round a bar答案解析：答案为c。本题为细节推理题。由第三段 “had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next.”可知，monkey bars 要求从一根高铁杠摇荡到另外一根，即训练儿童悬挂和摇荡的力气和技巧，故c选项正确。3. what does the sentence “i saw her well see about that look” imply?a. mom believed every aim could be achieved if you stuck to it.b. the race across monkey bars was not difficult enough for a child to give up.c. mom was determined to prove she herself was better than the teacher.d. what the child had said brought mom great attraction and curiosity.答案解析：答案为a。本题为语义理解题。“i saw her well see about that look” 出现在第四段，由本句话的下文 “the next afternoon, she took me back to school. at the deserted playground, mom looked carefully at the bars.”和第五段 “day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung i reached.”可知，妈妈听说我因为不会monkey bars而遭到其他小朋友的嘲笑，就日复一日带我去练习，对我每一次的成功都给予表扬，可推断，妈妈那脸上的表情表明在她的内心世界里，她认为不论什么只要坚持就可以取得，故答案为a。b选项只是这句话的表层意思，c、d则离题太远。4. when the child looked down at the kids, they were standing with their mouths open because _.a. they felt sorry for what they had done beforeb. they were afraid the author might fall off and get hurtc. they wanted to see what the author would do on the barsd. they were astonished to find the authors progress答案解析：答案d。本题为细节推理题。由第三段 “some kids behind me laughed, and i went home crying.” 我不会monkey bars 遭到其他小朋友的嘲笑到第五段 “ill never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, i looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.” 我会了monkey bars后，其他小朋友自然会对我的进步和成功而感到惊讶，故答案为d。5. the most probable conclusion we can draw after reading the passage is _.a. the last incident was sad enough to make mom weepb. the childs experience reminded mom of that of her ownc. mom could solve any problem except the one in the last paragraphd. in fact mom suffered more in the process of the childs growth答案解析：答案为d。本题为推理题。由最后一段最后一句话 “then i knew how much she suffered on my behalf. she had never let me see her tears.” 可知，我最后意识到妈妈在我的成长过程中比我承受的痛苦要多得多，但是她从不让我知道，故答案为d。阅读理解 boiler rooms are often dirty and steamy, but this one is clean and cool. fox point is a very new47-unit living building in south bronx, one of the citys poorest areas. two-thirds of the people living there are formerly (以前) homeless people, whose rent is paid by the government. the rest are low-income families. the boiler room has special equipment, which produces energy for electricity and heat. it reuses heat that would otherwise be lost to the air, reducing carbon emissions(碳排放)while also cutting costs. fox point is operated by palladian, a group that specializes in providing housing and services to needy, people. palladian received support from enterprise community partners (ecp), which helps build affordable housing by providing support to housing developers. ecp has created national standards for healthy, environmentally (环境方面) clever and affordable homes which are called, the green communities standards. these standards include water keeping, energy saving and the use of environmentally friendly building materials. meeting the standards increases housing construction costs by 2%, which is rapidly paid back by lower running costs. even the positioning of a window to get most daylight can help save energy.michael. bloomberg, new yorks mayor, plans to create 165,000 affordable housing units for500,000 new

preservation and development (dhpd) , whose duty is to develop and keep the citys supply of affordable housing, will require all its new projects to follow ecps green standards. similar measures have been taken by other cities such as cleveland and denver, but new yorks dhpd is the largest city developer of affordable housing in the country.( ) 1. what is the purpose of describing the boiler room

emissions in new york cityc. a great number of people in new york city dont have houses to live ind. some other cities have developed more affordable housing than new york city( ) 4. what is the main purpose of this text? a. to call on people to pay more attention to housing problems.b. to prove that some standards are needed for affordable housing.c. to ask society to help homeless people and

impossible to escape from some idle or curious chatter-box, or from somebody who wants something for nothing. if you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going out, or when you are taking your bath. are you strong minded enough to ignore it, to say to yourself,“ah, well, it will all be the same in a hundred years time” you are not. you think there may be some important news or messages for you. i can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. have you never rushed dripping from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number? but you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls. besides, you will say, isnt it important to have a telephone in case of emergencyillness, an accident, or fire? of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like england one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity. i think perhaps i had better try to justify myself by trying to prove that what i like is good. i admit that in different circumstancesif i were a tycoon(business vip),for instance, or bed ridden i might find a telephone essential. but then if i were a taxi-driver i should find a car essential. let me put it another way: there are two things for which the english seem to show particular talent; one is mechanical invention, the other is literature. my own business happens to be with the use of words but i see i must now stop using them. for i have just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. i think i had better answer it. after all, one never knows, it may be something important.36.the passage is mainly discussing _.a. that we should be strong enough to ignore a phone callb. that important message will reach you sooner or laterc. whether its necessary to answer all phone callsd. whether it is necessary to have a telephone提示:通读全文，尤其是文章的第一段和最后一段可以得出此结论。答案:d37.judging from the passage, who is strong-minded enough to ignore a phone call?a. the author. b.a tycoon.c.a taxi-driver. d. hardly anyone.答案:d 大意理解，文章的第二段第三段可以看出38.according to the passage, the author_.a. thinks the telephone should go out of our lifeb. likes to be different from other peoplec. thinks the telephone is annoyingd. speaks favourably of a telephone提示:文章的第二句就说明了作者的观点，后面又作了进一步的补充说明。答案:c39.in the authors opinion, which of the following is not true?a. nearly everyone has been told a wrong number.b. its necessary for everyone to have a telephone.c. he himself can not decide whether to answer a call.d.a telephone directory may bring in unexpected calls.提示:从文章的第二段得出答案。答案:b阅读理解。(part of yanglans speech in beijings bid for the 2008 olympic games) mr. president, ladies and gentlemen. good afternoon! before i introduce our cultural programs, i want to tell you one thing first about 2008. youre going to have a great time in beijing. many people are fascinated by chinas sport legends(传奇)in history. for example, back to song dynasty, about the 11th century, people started to play a game called cuju, which is regarded as the origin of ancient football. the game was very popular and women were also participating. now, you will understand why our women football team is so good today. . with a concept inspired by the famed silk road, our torch relay will break new ground, traveling from olympia through some of the oldest civilizations known to man-greek, roman, egyptian, byzantine, mesopotamian, persian, arabian, indian and chinese. carrying the message share the peace, share the olympics, the eternal flame will reach new heights as it crosses the himalayas over the worlds highest summit - mount qomolangma, which is known to many of you as mt. everest. in china, the flame will pass through tibet, cross the yangtze and yellow rivers, travel the great wall and visit hong kong, macau, taiwan and the 56 ethnic communities who make up our society. on its journey, the flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay. i am afraid i can not present the whole picture of our cultural programs within such a short period of time. before i end, let me share with you one story. seven hundred years ago, amazed by his incredible edtions of a far away land of great beauty, people asked marco polo whether his stories about china were true. he answered: what i have told you was not even half of what i saw. actually, what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of beijing that awaits you. ladies and gentlemen, i believe that beijing will prove to be a land of wonders to athletes, spectators(观众) and the worldwide television audience alike. come and join us. thank you, mr. president. thank you all.1. in yanglans speech, she mentioned a game called cuju, she implied that _.a. china is the original country of football.b. china is a country with a
