2014高考英语二轮阅读理解限时训练精品题（1）及答案阅读理解解读ai still remembermy hands and my fingers still rememberwhat used to lie in store for us on our return to school from the holidays. the trees in the school yard would be in full leaf again and the old leaves would be lying around like a muddy sea of leaves.“get that all swept up！” the headmaster would tell us. “i want the whole place cleaned up, at once！” there was enough work there, to last over a week. especially since the only tools with which we were provided were our hands, our fingers, our nails. “now see that its done properly, and be quick about it，” the headmaster would say to the older pupils, “or youll have to answer for it！”so at an order from the older boys we would all line up like peanuts about to cut and gather in crops. if the work was not going as quickly as the headmaster expected, the big boys, instead of giving us a helping hand, used to beat us with branches pulled from the trees. in order to avoid these blows, we used to bribe(贿赂) the older boys with the juicy cakes we used to bring for our midday meal. and if we happened to have any money on us, the coins changed hands at once. if we did not do this, if we were afraid of going home with an empty stomach or an empty purse, the blows were redoubled. they hit us so violently and with such evil enjoyment that even a deaf and dumb person would have realized that we were being whipped not so much to make us work harder, but rather to beat us into a state of obedience(服从) in which we would be only too glad to give up our food and money.occasionally one of us, worn out by such calculated cruelty, would have the courage to complain to the headmaster. he would of course be very angry, but the punishment he gave the older boys was always very smallnothing compared to what they had done to us. and the fact is that however much we complained, our situation did not improve in the slightest. perhaps we should have let our parents know what was going on, but somehow we never dreamed of doing so; i dont know whether it was loyalty or pride that kept us silent, but i can see now that we were foolish to keep quiet about it, for such beating is completely foreign to our nature.1. the statement “my hands and my fingers still remember” (para.1) means that “_”athe authors hands were severely injured in the cleaning upbthe author seldom did such hard work as the cleaning upcthe author was bullied by the big boys in the cleaning updthe authors hands were his only tool for the cleaning2. the headmaster would tell the students to clean up the school yard at the beginning of the term because_ahe was too lazybthere were many fallen leaves on the groundcthe school yard was covered with muddthe students didnt finish their homework3. the headmaster asked the older boys to_abeat those who worked slowlybtreat the small boys as peanutsctake charge of the process of the cleaningddo the cleaning all by themselves4. according to para.3, if the author had any money on him, he most probably_agave it to the big boys so as to please thembgave it as a bribe to the headmastercspent it all on his midday mealdspent it buying midday meals for the big boys5. when receiving complaints, the headmaster would deal with the big boys by means of _aslight punishmentbharsh criticismccomplete indifferencedgood beatinga【要点综述】 本文为记叙文。文中作者回忆了早年读书期间，假期返校清除落叶的一段经历。1d作者一开始用了两个remember表明他对假期返校要清除落叶一事记忆深刻。第二段提到自己在为学校清除落叶时没有别的工具，唯一的工具就是手，由此可推断“手和指尖都记得”是因为在大扫除中，作者的手作为唯一的清洁工具受了不少的罪。2b第一段最后一句提到假期过后学校会堆满落叶，第二段校长发布了让学生大扫除的命令，两者之间的因果关系显而易见，因此本题应选b项。3c 第二段最后一句，特别是其中的see，表明校长让大孩子们做大扫除的“监工”，负责带领其他孩子们把学校打扫干净。这也可以从该句的“or youll have to answer for it！(否则你们就要为此负责)”看出答案。4a第三段第四句中的“the coins changed hands at once.”可理解为“钱马上就会易主”，即钱到了大孩子们的口袋里。5a 根据题干中的complaints可定位到最后一段开头两句。该段第二句表明校长对大孩子们的惩罚很轻，因此本题应选a项。阅读理解请阅读下列短文,从每题 所给的四个选项(a,b,c 和 d)中,选出最佳选项。 a one morning more than thirty years ago, i entered the track kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast. i noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. he was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. i asked if i might join him. he agreed quietly and i sat down to have my breakfast. we cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things. we never introduced ourselves. i was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. so as i rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, i asked, my i get you something? a coffee would be nice. then i bought him a cup of coffee. we talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee, finally, i rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. at the door i met one of my friends. he asked, how did you get to know mr. gal breath? who? the man you were sitting with. he is chairman of the board of churchill downs. i could hardly believe it. i was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the worlds richest and most powerful men! my few minutes with mr. gal breath changed my life. now i try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who i think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.

( ) 1. what is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry? a. it has been followed by the industry for over 400 years. b. it is different for mens clothing and womens. c. it woks better with men than with women. d. it fails to consider right-handed people. ( ) 2. what do we know about the rich men in the 17th century? a. they tended to wear clothes without buttons. b. they were interested in the historical matters. c. they were mostly dressed by servants. d. they drew their swords from the left. ( ) 3. womens clothes still button from the left today because.a. adopting mens style is improper for women b. manufacturers should follow standards c. modern women dress themselves d. customs are hard to change ( ) 4. the passage is mainly developed by. a. analyzing causes b. making comparisons c. examining differences d. following the time order 【语篇解读 语篇解读】本文由男女衣服的不同,分析产生这种不同的原因,并且告诉我们这种不同为 语篇解读 什么延续到现在.1. 答案 b 【解析】 细节理解题. what seems strange , however, is that the standard adopted for women 由 is the opposite of the one for men.可知男女衣服的标准不一样令人惊奇.所以答案选 b 项. 2. 答案 d 【解析】 细节理解题. 根据文中 most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hang would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.可判断选 d 项. 3. 答案 d 【解析】细节理解题.根据actually, a standard , once set, resists change.可知,习惯一旦 养成,就很难改变是女式衣服的纽扣仍然在左边的原因.由此判断选 d 项. 4. 答案 a 【解析】组织结构题.通观整篇文章可以看出,作在开始提到一个现象男女衣服的标准 相反,然后分析这种现象产生的历史原因,最后告诉我们现在这是这样的原因.由此判断选 a 项. 阅读理解之推理判断和猜测词义-猜测词义1a childs birthday party doesnt have to be a hassle;_it can be a basket of fun.what does the underlined word “hassle” probably mean?aa party designed by specialists.ba plan requiring careful thought.ca situation causing difficulty or trouble.da demand made by guests.2i feel that since you are my superior, it would be presumptuous of me to tell you what to dothe underlined word “presumptuous” in the middle of the passage is closest in meaning to “ _”afull of respect btoo confident and rudeclacking in experience dtoo shy and quiet3william shakespeare said, “the web of our life is of a mingled yarn(纱线)，good and ill together.”the underlined word “mingled” most probably means “_”asimple bmixedcsad dhappy4i had always travelled to malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time i was on a train. i did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. i looked about the train. the
