广州市2015高考英语短文改错、阅读理解四月自练9【阅读理解】 as a young boy, i sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad. he was a rural mail carrier, and on saturdays he would ask me to go with him. driving through the countryside was always an adventure: there were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and dad did.in the spring, dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when i was a boy it was such fun to stick your fingers through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.on dads final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailboxes to thank him for his friendship and his years of service.“two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route，” he used to say, “and a story at every one.” one lady had no mailbox, so dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. one note left in a mailbox read, “nat, take these eggs to marian; shes baking a cake and doesnt have any eggs.” mailboxes might be buried in the snow, or broken, or lying on the ground, but the mail was always delivered. on cold days dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. a young girl wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; dad paid for the stamps. one businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for dad to take to the bank. once, the amount came to $32,000.a dozen years ago, when i traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of dads death, the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. i thought i knew them all, but that wasnt the case.as i drove home, i noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. when my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. one box was painted green, and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: santa claus, north pole. for years children had dropped letters to santa through those holes.i made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. mom and i were sitting at the kitchen table when i heard footsteps. there, at the door, stood frank townsend, dads postmaster and great friend for many years. so we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.at one point frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. “what are we going to do about the letters this christmas？”he asked.“the letters？”“i guess you never knew.”“knew what？”“remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to santa in those green and red boxes on main street? it was your dad who answered all those letters every year.”i just sat there with tears in my eyes. it wasnt hard for me to imagine dad sitting at the old oak table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. i have since spoken with several of the people who received christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that santa had known so much about their homes and families.for me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.1. it can be inferred from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with dad as _.a. great chances to help other people b. happy occasions to play with baby chickensc. exciting experiences with a lot of fund. good opportunities to enjoy chocolate cookies 2. the writer provides the detail about the businessman to show that _.a. dad had a strong sense of duty b. dad was an honest and reliable manc. dad had a strong sense of honor d. dad was a

travels【要点综述】这是一篇感人的叙述亲情的文章，在这里，父亲是一个乡村送信人，这么多年来他都无私地为219个信箱服务，一直到他退休。但让作者没有料到的是，父亲还在每年圣诞节的时候扮演着圣诞老人的角色，默默地回复着孩子们写给圣诞老人的信。1. c推理判断题。从全文第一段提到的always an adventure: there were animals to

a主旨大意题。从全文知，本文作者主要讲述了自己的父亲，一个平凡中显现伟大的送信人的故事，所以用a项能较好地概括全文中心，这里用the mail来突出父亲的工作和他的敬业，故a项最佳。 阅读理解。as the thrills of the london 2012 olympic games fade, the focus now is on the 2016 olympic games in brazil. over the next two years it hosted the fifa confederation cup in june 2013 and will host the fifa world cup in 2014. brazil has taken steps to increase the economic profits by safeguarding the interests of broadcasters and funders. in 2009, the brazil passed the brazilian olympic act and the so-called world cup law in 2012, which are designed to fight ambush(隐性)marketing and digital piracy(盗版), and regulate advertising in and around official sporting sites. the brazilian world cup law goes much further in protecting the interests of right owners than brazils pre-existing legislation(立法)in this area, the so-called pele law. for example, the world cup law bans anyone but the official broadcaster from using images of events. however, it does permit use for non-commercial purposes. it also requires that fifa or its local broadcaster provide highlights up to two hours after each match. other items allow protection of trademarks associated with the event and ban unauthorized association with the events marks. the pele law permits, as an information right, both access to sporting sites and the use of images for journalistic purposes. it is, however, unlikely that such an understanding will be gained in relation to the world cup law which governs access to and use of images specifically in relation to the fifa world cup 2014. although the brazilian olympic act regulates the ip(知识产权)relating to the 2016 olympic games in rio, it remains silent on broadcasting rights. whatever the benefits, it seems clear that ip rights in general, and broadcasting rights in particular, will continue to play a key role in bringing in funds. if past experience is anything to go by, rio 2016 not only promises new sporting achievements, but also the breaking of new records in terms of profits produced from the sale of broadcasting and other media rights. 【文章大意】文章主要介绍了巴西保护知识产权的world cup law和pele law。1. the 2016 olympics. a. promises to break many recordsb. will experience challenges in fundingc. promises to be the greatest in historyd. will bring great benefits to brazil【解析】选d。推理判断题。根据第一段的brazil has taken steps to increase the economic profits by safeguarding the interests of broadcasters and funders. 可知, 巴西将会从2016年奥运会中获得经济增长。故选d。2. the world cup law and the pele law are different in that. a. the former is stricter than the latter in protecting ip rightsb. the world cup law allows the media more freedom to use the imagesc. the former applies to advertising while the latter marketingd. the pele law bans more unauthorized association with the events marks【解析】选a。推理判断题。根据第三段的the brazilian world cup law goes much further in protecting the interests of right owners than brazils pre-existing legislation in this area, the so-called pele law. 以及下文可知, the world cup law比the pele law在保护知识产权方面更严厉。3. the passage mainly talks about. a. the advances that brazil has made in hosting sporting eventsb. the efforts that brazil is making to protect the interests of ip right ownersc. the preparations that brazil is making for the 2016 olympicsd. the challenges that brazil is facing in investment to fund the sporting events【解析】选b。主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了巴西的保护知识产权的world cup law和pele law, 这说明了巴西正在在保护知识产权方面做出努力。故选b。4. the writers attitude toward rio 2016 is. a. indifferentb. positivec. negatived. unclear【解析】选b。观点态度题。根据最后一段的rio 2016 not only promises new sporting achievements, but also the breaking of new records in terms of profits produced from the sale of broadcasting and other media rights. 可知, 作者对rio
