2014高考英语阅读理解基础精品练习题（13）及答案 a(2011四川卷，a)its 5：00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears. i roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. i turn on the light and put on my glasses. the house is still as i walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. usually i go for a long run, but today i choose my favorite exercise dvd, insanity. sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. my heart races as i force my body to finish each movement. as i near the end of the exercise, i feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. its not a smile because the dvd is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. but i need exercise to get through each day. some shake heads when they see me run through the town. others get hurt when i refuse to try just one bite of their grandmothers chocolate cake. they raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you，” or by my choice to have a salad. over the years, i have learned its okay to just say “no”. i shouldnt feel sorry for refusing food that i dont want to eat.so what drives me to roll out of bed at 5：00 am.？what gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? commitment. a commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases selfconfidence and energy，extends life and above all improves my body shape.this is the point where a smile appears on my face as i look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right.its through commitment and sweat that i can make a difference within myself inside and out.一个每天按时起床锻炼身体的女人，一个有着自己个性与喜好的女人，为了保持自己的体型，降低压力，提高自信，坚持着这种日复一日的锻炼，让自己每天都挂着笑容面对生活。1why is there a smile on the authors face in the morning?abecause she sees her family sleeping peacefully.bbecause she finishes her favorite exercise.cbecause she enjoys the interesting dvd.dbecause she feels a sense of achievement.答案：d。细节判断题。根据第一个段落的最后一句话， 先排除c的说法；在本句中“a smile of success of pushing”可以断定其实是一种成就感令她脸上挂着笑容。最大的干扰项可能会是b，但如果细读，会找到关键词“success”。2which of the following is true according to paragraph 2?ashe doesnt treat others politely.bshe likes to make others surprised.cothers dont understand what she dose.dothers try to help her by offering her food.答案：c。细节判断题。从本段的情节来看，选项a，d都相差甚远；而“i need exercise to get through each day”正是表明了作者的喜好，而不是像选项b说的喜欢出奇，故排除b。从“raised their eyebrows, surprised by.”来看，其实别人是感到奇怪而已。3what does the underlined word “commitment” in the last paragraph mean?agood health. bfirm belief.ca strong power. da regular habit.答案：b。词意理解题。从全文的语境信息来看，这么多年，这么坚持，这么享受，而且从“sweat”一词身上也能找到提示，即：坚定的信念与汗水，故选项b最符合语境。4what can we learn about the author from the text?ashe acts in a strange way.bshe wants to look different from others.cshe aims to develop a good body shape.dshe has difficulty getting along with others.答案：c。理解判断题。文章的最后一段中有一句话“above all improves my body shape”，从这句话中可以确定选项c的说法是正确的。(201*成都检测) everyone knows the smart blackandwhite dog that sits on top of a red doghouse with his best frienda bird called woodstock. created by the american cartoonist charles schulz in 1950, the clever dog is loved by generations of kids and adults. he speaks more than 20 languages and appears daily in 26,000 newspapers around the world. when snoopy first appeared, he was not different from other pet dogs. but two years later, he had begun to speak with simple words and sounds. by 1957 he could walk on two legs and was going to school with his master, charlie brown, who failed in just about everything. later he learned to use the typewriter. snoopy has done lots of jobs. he has been a bowtie wearing lawyer, a tennis player, an olympic figure skater, a world famous grocery checkout clerk, a pilot and even the first astronaut on the moon. however, snoopy has always dreamed of being a famous writer. the beginning of his story is always, “it was a dark and stormy night.” unfortunately for him no one has ever wanted to publish the story. in love, snoopy is as much of a failure as charlie brown is at baseball. he easily falls in love but always has his heart broken. he eats to forget, but it never works. snoopy is an insightful (富有洞察力的), feelgood and sometimes sad dog. if you think a little about his words, you might find them full of life lessons. among his most famous lines are “to live is to dance, to dance is to live.” and “yesterday i was a dog. today im a dog. tomorrow ill probably still be a dog. sigh! theres so little hope for

writer.”表明当作家一直是snoopy的梦想，但未曾实现。2b细节理解题。由文章第三段中的“when snoopy first appeared, he was not different from other pet dogs. but two years later, he had begun to speak with simple words and sounds.”可知史努比(snoopy)最初不会讲话。3d推理判断题。由文章第二段内容可知，史努比(snoopy)风靡世界，很受欢迎。4b词义猜测题。文中最后一段中的内容“yesterday i was a dog. today im a dog. tomorrow ill probably still be a dog.”表明advancement意思为“进展，促进，改进”，与选项b(progress)意义相近。五、议论文a(2010河南五校联考)the poor are very wonderful people. one evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street. and one of them was in a most terrible conditionand i told the sisters: you take care of the other three. i take care of this one who looked worse. so i did for her all that my love can do. i put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. she took hold of my hand as she said just the words “thank you” and she died. i could not help but examine my conscience before her and i asked what i would say if i was in her place. and my answer was very simple. i would have tried to draw a little attention to myself. i would have said i am hungry, i am dying, i am cold, i am in pain, or something, but she gave me much moreshe gave me her grateful love. and she died with a smile on her face. so did that man whom we picked up from the drain, half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. “i have lived like an animal in the street, but i am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for，” he said at the end. and it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything. like an angelthis is the greatness of our people. and that is why we believe what jesus has said: i was hungry, i was naked, i was homeless, i was unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and you did it to me. and with this prize that i received as a prize of peace, i am going to try to make the home for many people who have no home. because i believe that love begins at home and if we can create a home for the poor i think that more and more love will spread. and we will be able through this understanding love to bring peace, the good news to the poor, the poor in our own family first, in our country and in the world. when i pick up a person from the street, hungry and i give him a plate of rice or a piece of bread, i am satisfied. i have removed that hunger. but to a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, who has been thrown out from society, that poverty is so full of hurt and so unbearable. and so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something.1.

rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. however, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.in the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. a particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. by 1538, the french king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. so did the king of england in 1546. thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. henry iv, king of
