2014高考英语阅读理解基础精品题练习（19）及答案阅读理解words：303难度系数：建议用时：7分钟good relationships are definitely good sources of happiness in life.we all want happy relationships but if we do not keep that relationship alive, it can also be one of the most distraught things in life.there may be no hard and fast rules in making good relationships, as each of us has different preferences and points of view as to what is a great relationship.the following are some major key players in making relationships work.it is often said that building good relationships is all about communication.good communication indeed governs a good relationshipknowing the right thing to say, when to say it, how to say it, and accepting some things that are better left unsaid.i personally think communication must be broadened because relationships involve more decisions to make.from study to work, from money to entertainment and even in things about yourself or about your friend that you do not know, communication is essential in these aspects of the relationships.of course, being with someone is not saying that you totally agree with him all the time.you and your friend come from different family backgrounds, raised in different environments so there may be disagreements here and there.however, it is important in making relationships work to express disagreements without pushing the relationship to end.again, good communication and learning to compromise (妥协) at times are essential.as the relationship lasts longer, you may also discover things about you and your friend that you may not have known before.therefore, supporting each other on both your “hidden selves” can also make a good relationship.love is an important aspect of building relationships and for me, i always believe that love needs open communication, respect, support and understanding each other in making relationships work.【解题导语】良好的人际关系是幸福生活之源，人人都想拥有良好的人际关系。本文讲的就是让人们从下面几个方面着手建立良好的人际关系：交流，尊重，支持和理解，但这一切的基础是有“爱”。5the underlined word “distraught” in paragraph 1 probably means _.ahelpless bsurprisingcfunny dupsetting解析：选d。猜测词义题。根据该词所在的语境可知这句话是用一种对比的手法表达转折的意思，所以该词的意思应该是和happy相反的，故选upsetting“令人苦恼的”。6to communicate well with people, you should know that _.asupporting each other in anything helps build a good relationshipba white lie is necessary sometimesccompromises are essential at any timedyour friends need to have the same backgrounds with you解析：选b。细节理解题。根据第二段good communication indeed governs a good relationshipknowing the right thing to say，when to say it，how to say it，and accepting some things that are better left unsaid.和第三段的内容可知：学会交流就是要知道什么该说，该什么时候说，怎样说，哪些不能说。也就是说，有时候要撒谎，有时候善意的谎言是必要的，故选b。7according to the text, which of the following are important for a good relationship?acommunicationbsupport clovedhidden selvesaabd bacdcbcd dabc解析：选d。细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，爱很重要，它需要交流，尊重，支持和理解，但没有hidden selves，所以选d。8what would be the best title for the text?athe importance to express disagreementsbkeys to making relationships workcdifferent opinions on good relationshipsdforbidden rules in building good relationships解析：选b。标题归纳题。根据全文内容尤其是第一段最后一句the following are some major key players in making relationships work.可知，本文主要讲述的是如何建立良好的人际关系。阅读理解（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）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。adesigned as a gift book or family souvenir, this beautiful hardcover has a traditional connection with christmas virtues (美德). each virtue is discussed in a short article and then followed by four to five all-new heart-touching stories from chicken soup for the soul. each section ends with a one-page suggestion for how to start your own holiday tradition, from baking cookies to charity ideas, which reflects the spirit of the virtue.with the amusing description of life and heart-warming tales about cats, each touching story in chicken soup for the cat lovers soul celebrates the special bond we share with our cats.the real dear friends explores the classic puzzles which every child aged 9-19 faces: friends - making them, keeping them, fighting with them, losing them, helping them and competing with them. and there are no lectures here; this is the straight talk from teens that young readers love.this is a book that covers problems for girls only! chicken soup for girls soul is a book by girls, for girls, where readers can find encouragement, support and positive advice when facing the challenges of being a pre-teen girl.the heart-warming stories and photographs in chicken soup for the soul celebrates grandmothers celebrate and catch the loving moments spent together with family: the joyful surprise of becoming a grandma, the amazing times when young children teach them lessons about life and living.56. if you are a pet lover, which book might interest you most?
