高一英语 阅读理解专讲专练5

unit 5 The silver screen注意阅读速度一个人的阅读能力的高低决定了他能否快速高效地吸收有用信息。合理的快速阅读可以使阅读者思想高度集中，在阅读中积极思维，不时作出归纳、演绎、对比、推测，正确理解篇章大意。没有一定的阅读速度，就不能顺利地输入信息，阅读理解的成效也会大大地降低。高考要求每分钟读60个字，但我们在平常练习时应达到并超过这个基本标准，以便在高考中能给自己挤出更多时间去进行思考。我们要培养快速阅读的能力，就必须克服指读、回读、重读等不良习惯，不要把注意力过度集中在孤立的单词上，以致于对整句、整段的意思把握不清。与此同时，我们还应注意运用多种阅读技巧，如略读、扫读、跳读等来搜寻关键词、主题句，理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。Passage A阅读理解When someone says, “Well, I guess Ill have to face the music”, it doesnt mean that he is planning to go to hear a singer or attend a concert. It is something far less unhappy than you are called in by your leader to explain why you did this and that or why you did not do this or that.At some time or another, every one of us has to “face the music”, especially (尤其) as children. We can all remember fathers angry words “I want to talk to you”. And only because we did not listen to him. What a bad thing it was!In the middle or at the end of every term, we students have to “face the music”. The result of the exam will decide whether we will face the music or not. If.that means parents cold faces and contempt (轻视) of the teachers and classmates.“To face the music” is well known to every American, young or old. It is at least 100 years old. It really means that you have to do something, no matter (无论) how terrible the whole thing might be, because you know you have no choice.根据文章内容，选择正确答案：1. “To face the music” means “to_ ”.A. do something that we dont like toB. go to the theatreC. go to the music showD. do something that we want to2.

The young Americans know what “to face the music” means.D. Only the old in the United States know the meaning of “to face the music”.难句注释I guess Ill have to face the music.我想这下我得自食其果了。face the music 指由于自己的决定或行为而接受批评、承担后果等。Total words:200Reading time:_Reading speed: _It is something far less unhappy than you are called in by your leader to explain why you did this and that or why you did not do this or that.它要比你被老板喊进去解释为什么这样那样做，或者为什么不这样那样做要难过得多。Passage B阅读理解Julia lived in the countryside, but one year she decided to visit the capital city to do some shopping and to see the sights.

These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections(注射)so that they wont carry disease. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit peoples houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a feeding place for birds in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.People in Canada have many reasons to like animals.
