In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce in the family. Id lost everything except my four teenage children. I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Missouri to Hawaii. Everyone said I was crazy to think I could just go to an island and survive. I was afraid they were right.Knowing that no one in the world was going to help us, I rented a cheap apartment. I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day. One night as I walked alone on the beach, I saw the red orange glow of the lave (火山岩) pouring out of Kilarea Volcano in the distance. It was time to live my imagination!The next day I quit my job and invested my last paycheck in art supplies and began doing what I loved. I hadnt painted a picture in 15 years. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked up a brush. But before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas in front of me. And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too. The first painting sold for $1,500 before I even had time to frame it.The past six years have been filled with adventures. My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins, watched whales and hiked around the volcano. We wake up every morning with the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us.

My Life After Divorce1、答案解析：答案为A。本题为推理题。从第一段的第一句话 “The week I turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end.” 可以推断，作者迈入50岁的那一周，婚姻突然解体，这个是她所没有预料到的。故答案为A。从第一段的 “My house, furniture and everything Id owned was sold to pay debts that I didnt even know I had Id lost everything except my four teenage children.” 可以推断，作者失去了所有的财产，而不是大部分财产，故C选项错误。又从 “In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce in the family.”可推断，她的父母拒绝接受她的离婚，故选项B错误。D选项未提及。2、答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。由第二段前两句话 “Knowing that no one in the world was going to help us, I rented a cheap apartment. I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day.”可知，作者带着四个孩子去夏威夷后，没人帮助，住廉价的公寓，一天工作18个小时，吃一顿饭，故可推断她去夏威夷为了谋生。3、答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。结合全文，作者50岁的时候，婚姻瓦解，带着四个孩子到夏威夷，偶然的机会发现了生财之道，利用自己以前的爱好谋生，自力更生，奋斗不息，可推断她是位有决心的伟大女性，故A选项正确。由作者的经历和最后一段的倒数第二句话 “The dream I had more than 40 years ago is now reality.” 可知，作者一直喜欢绘画，故B选项正确。由最后一段首句 “The past six years have been filled with adventures.” 可推断，作者喜欢冒险生活，故选项D正确。由第三段最后一句话 “The first painting sold for $1,500 before I even had time to frame it.” 可知，作者的第一幅画在抽空上框之前就卖了$1,500，选项C与文意不符。故答案为C。4、答案解析：答案为D。本题考查文章标题。全文描述了作者离婚后去夏威夷如何发现谋生的机会，如何过上幸福自由的快乐生活。故答案为D。阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。Blue planets Space is not black，but light green，a team of astronomers announced on January 10.They studied the light sent out by 200 000 galaxies.What they found was that the average colour of the universe is a bit greener than turquoise(绿宝石)The discovery was part of an attempt to test theories about how stars and galaxies form.Most astronomers believe that the universe probably started with a“blue period”when young blue stars filled space.Now the universe is in a“green period”They believe it will finally enter a“red period”when the older，redder stars appear.“The reason for the colour changing is that the rate of stars forming is changing，”said Ivan Baldry，an astronomer who worked to find the average colour of light in the universe.Research presented by NASA scientists shows that the highest point of starforming may have occurred earlier than previously(以前)believed.It was probably very soon after the“Big Bang(宇宙大爆炸)”that many scientists believe gave birth to the universe.There is no way any human could actually see the green colour.“The only way to see it is if you saw all the universe from the same distance away and it was not moving，”Baldry said.Baldry and his coworker，Karl Glazebrook，have both joked about possible marketing(营销)opportunities for the new colour.Perhaps colouroftheuniverse Tshirts or coffee cups could become popular.But Baldry allowed，“I dont know if you can patent(专利)a colour，thats not our business.We havent actually been to a paint shop yet to see if they have a name for this.”1The astronomers discovered the colour of the universe_.Awhen they were researching on the age of the universeBwhen they attempted to test theories about the forming of stars and galaxiesCto prove that the universe is continuously changingDand showed that the stars and galaxies may have formed earlier than previously believed答案：B第二段第一句“The discovery was part of an attempt to test theories about how stars and galaxies form.”说明了discovery是在理论检测过程当中作出的。2According to the astronomers，_.Athe universe is changing its colour all the timeBall the heavenly bodies are green at presentCthe universe has changed its colour several timesDthe universe will finally turn red答案：D第二段最后一句“They believe it will finally enter ared period when the older，redder stars appear.”为该选项提供了依据。从第二段可看出宇宙的颜色由蓝到绿，最终将变而还会变红，所以C选项中的已经变了几次不符合事实。而all the heavenly bodies远远大于文中的stars这一范围。A选项中的all the time表示的频率过高。3We can infer that the most popular colour of Tshirts would be_.Ared Bblue Cgreen Dlight green答案：D综合第一段第三句“What they found was that the average colour of the universe is a bit greener than turquoise(绿宝石)”和最后一段第一句“Perhaps colouroftheuniverse Tshirts or coffee cups could become popular.”可看出答案。4Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?ANo human can see the real colour of the universe.BThe theory of“Big Bang”is widely received by scientists.CThe rate of stars forming is causing the change of the universes colour.DHumans can receive light from at least 200,000 galaxies.答案：AD选项来自于第一段第二句；C选项来自第三段第一句；B选项来自第四段最后一句。A选项与第六段有很大的差异。阅读理解训练 (2015海淀区第二学期期中)Sports are the base of my life, next to my mother who raised me when my dad left us. I have been into sports since I was six years old. I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play.When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski. I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before. I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought Id make it with no problem. That was a big mistake.Brian Pawloski is the hardestworking coach I have ever met. He didnt expect 100% effort; he expected 200% effort. One example: he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 layups (投篮) we missed in a game. Some think this is crazy, but it isnt. After this conditioning practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, “coach, that was the best practice I ever had.” I was completely sincere. This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school. He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom. If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand lifes challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters. In the first two years I slacked_off,_not putting forth my full potential. Now, unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how he did off the court. He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted. I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life. My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach, coach and influence their students. I will always remember my highschool basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual. 文章大意：这是一篇英语传记故事阅读。文章主要讲述了作者中学时的篮球教练对他一生的影响。9Different from other coaches, Coach Brian _. Aconcentrated on skill trainingBtrained the team to the edge of deathCexpected the team to do well in their studiesDasked the team to do more reading than training答案：C推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的Now，unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how we did off the court. He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted. I can honestly say no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball，but more importantly，in life可知Coach Brian不仅关心学生们的训练还关心学生们的学习和生活，这是其他教练所没有的。故选C。10The underlined phrase “slacked off” in the last paragraph probably means _.Apaid no attentionBshowed no interestChad less passionDmade less effort答案：D词义猜测题。paid no attention没注意；showed no interest显示没兴趣；had less passion有更少的激情；made less effort付出更少的努力。根据画线单词后的not putting forth my full potential“没有付出我全部的潜能”判断是“付出了更少的努力”。故应选D。11In the authors eye, Coach Brian is _.Astrict and helpfulBhardworking and honest Cskilled and cruelDprofessional and serious 答案：A推理判断题。strict and helpful严格但有帮助的；hardworking and honest工作勤奋而且诚实；skilled and cruel技能熟练并残酷；professional and serious专业并严肃。通读全文，特别是最后一段都透露着作者感到老师的严格和对他的一生都有帮助。故选A。2016高考训练-阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 Amy Pankratz spent a few nights in the hospital with her daughter, Isabella, who caught a bad flu. “Lying in bed beside Isabella, I could hear the cries of children in pain, ”says Amy. “It completely broke my heart. ”When Isabella was getting well and could leave her room, she wore her prized possessiona “superhero cape(短斗篷)”Amy had sewn to encourage herand walked into the hallway.

Together they eat in the finest restaurants, traveling everywhere around the world by luxurious planes and pleasure ships. They are models. Do you envy them? What sort of life are models leading? Is it a wonderful life for a young lady or a young man? A few models are well-known actors or actresses who can make a lot of money only by showing themselves off in commercials. But the majority of them are just curious to see what it is like. Theyd like to be models just because they are attracted by what they imagine models earn a lot of money and lead a glorious life. This is true for those who are very successful. However, most models find it difficult to get work. Very few can earn enough to live on, and for all models their expenses are high. Their agents claim about 20% of the earnings, and no model will get very far without a clever agent. Besides, they have to buy good clothing. They also have to pay to travel to interviews and reach the places where the work is to be done. Interviews for a model job are known as cattle-markets in the modeling world, and not without a good reason. A top model can choose his or her work, demand and receive high fees and has his or her expenses paid. But for most models, the situation is quite different. And agent or employer inspects each model much as a farmer inspects cattle at a market. Intelligence, qualifications and personal characteristics count for little against good looks and tight figures. For all except the very few lucky one
