江西省瑞金市2014高考英语阅读理解和完形填空训练（12）（含答案）AMost people want to know how things are made. They honestly admit, however, that they hardly know a thing when it comes to understanding how a piece of music is made. Where a composer (作曲家) begins, how he manages to keep goingin fact, how and where he learns his tradeall are covered_in_complete_darkness. The composer, in short, is a man of mystery(神秘)One of the first things the common man wants to know about is the part inspiration (灵感) plays in a composers work. He finds it difficult to believe that composers are not much interested in that question. Writing music is as natural for the composer as eating or sleeping for all. Music is something that the composer happens to have been born for.The composer, therefore, does not say to himself：“Do I feel inspired？”He says to himself：“Do I feel like working today？”And if he feels like working, he does. It is more or less like saying to himself：“Do I feel sleepy？”If you feel sleepy, you go to sleep. If you dont feel sleepy, you stay up. If the composer doesnt feel like working, he doesnt work. Its as simple as that.1What would be the best title for the text?A. Composer: a man of mysteryB. Practice makes good musicC. Relation between sleeping and musicD. Music: product of nature2The words “covered in complete darkness”underlined in Paragraph 1 most probably mean _.A. difficult to be made B. without any lightC. black in color D. not known3Most people seem to think that a composer _.A. finds it difficult to write musicB. considers it important to have a good restC. should like to talk about inspirationD. never asks himself very simple questions4The author will most probably agree that composers _.A. are born with a gift for musicB. are people full of mysteryC. work late at night for their musicD. know a lot about eating and sleeping1A。这是一道主旨题。文章主要介绍了作曲家给人的神秘感和他们工作的方式。B选项不对因为文中指出有时候好音乐来自灵感，C选项不对是因为文章引用作曲和睡觉的关系是作为例子说明作曲家的工作方式，D选项文中没有提到。2D。这是一道推理题。根据第一段最后一句“The composer, in short, is a man of mystery.”可以推断出作曲家从哪里开始，怎么发展，他怎么学习的这门手艺，都不为人知，所以才会神秘，可以推断出“covered in complete darkness”是不为人知的意思。3C。这是一道推断题。根据第二段“One of the first things the common man wants to know about is the part inspiration plays in a composers work. He finds it difficult to believe that composers are not much interested in that question.”可知大众不能理解作曲作家并不关心灵感在作曲工作中的作用，可以推断出大众认为作曲家应该比较关注灵感。4A。这是一道推断题。根据最后一段可知作曲家对于工作就像人对于睡眠一样(是一种本能)，也就是说他们对于作曲有一种天赋。*结束真题试做(2012湖南高考，B篇)Still seeking a destination for your weekend break？There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.Kings Art CentreA day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere.This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.You could attend a class teaching you how to learn from the masters or get more creative with paintfree of charge.The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.The Botanic GardenThe Garden has over 8,000 plant species；it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.The multibranched Torch Aloe here is impressive.The African plant produces red flowers above bluegreen leaves，and is not one to miss.Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula，a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.The Garden is also a place for wildlifeenthusiasts.Look for grass snakes in the lake.A snake called Hissing Sid is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.Byrons PoolMany stories surround Lord Byrons time as a student of Cambridge University.Arriving in 1805，he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”However，it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough.Im not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms.He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake，which is now known as Byrons Pool.A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside，the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields.The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea.If you dont trust me，then perhaps youll take it from Virginia Woolfover a century after Byron，she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.61As mentioned in the passage，there is a small charge for _.Aattending the masters classBworking with local artistsClearning life drawingDseeing an exhibition62“Torch Aloe” and “Venus Flytrap” are _.Acommon insectsBimpressive plantsCrarelyseen snakes Dwildlifeenthusiasts63We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed _.Ato fear pet bearsBto like walkingCto be a heavy drinkerDto finish university in 180564In the passage Byrons Pool is described as a lake _.Asurrounded by fieldsBowned by Lord ByronClocated in GrantchesterDdiscovered by Virginia Woolf65What is the passage mainly about?ASome places for weekend break.BA way to become creative in art.CThe colourful life in the countryside.DUnknown stories of Cambridge University.真题试做61C细节理解题。根据第一则广告中最后一句“The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.”可知，此处C项正确。62B细节理解题。根据第二则广告中第二段首句“The multibranched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant.”可知，Torch Aloe是一种植物。根据第三段中“.，a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and.”可知，Venus Flytrap也是一种植物。故B项正确。63. B细节理解题。根据第三则广告中第一段最后一句“He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.”可知，他花了大量时间在村子里散步。故此处B项正确。64A细节理解题。根据第三则广告中第二段“A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields.(拜伦潭位于剑桥郡南部乡村格兰切斯特几英里处，周围是环绕田野的美丽的环形小路)”可知A项正确，排除B、C项。根据最后一句“.Virginia Woolfover a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.”可知弗吉尼亚伍尔芙并不是发现拜伦潭的人，只是继拜伦之后，在此游过泳，故排除D项。65A主旨大意题。根据文章首句“Still seeking a destination for your weekend break？There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.”可知，这三则广告都是提供给大学生周末休闲的。故A项正确。*结束(2011辽宁卷)This year I decided to do something to regain my good name as a kindly uncle.My _1_， Tony，had never forgiven me for the dictionary I had bought him as

these searches have been done over the radioThe hope is that someone in outer space may he trying to get in touch with usScientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messagesScientists are using powerful radio telescopes （望远镜） to listen to signals from about 1，000 stars, all within 100 light years of earthIn addition, they will scan （扫视） the entire sky to listen for radio messages from more distant starsUsing a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one timeScientists are looking for any signal they stands out from the hack-ground noiseOf the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy （银河星系）, scientists find that five percent are like our sunPerhaps half of them have a planet like our earthSuch a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution of lifeBased on the inhabitable（ that can be lived in） planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some lifeHowever, many scientists wonder whether intelligent life exists on other planetsSome believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out thereThey say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikelyOther scientists believe that our search hasnt been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxyAlth
