That39。s the future our foremothers fought for.”每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該很幸運(yùn)，能夠決定自己穿什么，如何度過時(shí)間。這就是我們的祖先為之奮斗的未來，可知，作者認(rèn)為在日常生活中擁有選擇的自由是我們的祖先為之奮斗的未來。故選B。 （2）考查代詞指代。根據(jù)第十三段中的“If you were taking care of a family, waiting on your husband, you had no time to follow your dreams, unless you made that your dream.”如果你要照顧一個(gè)家庭，服侍你的丈夫，你就沒有時(shí)間去追求你的夢想，除非你把它當(dāng)成你的夢想，可知，that指代的其實(shí)是前面的內(nèi)容，也就是taking care of a family, waiting on your husband。故選C。 （3）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第十四段中的“A lot of women took that approach. We call it Stockholm Syndrome now.”很多女性采取了這種方式。我們現(xiàn)在稱之為Stockholm Syndrome，可知，我們現(xiàn)在把1950s很多女性接受了這個(gè)方式生活下去的這個(gè)現(xiàn)象稱作Stockholm Syndrome。根據(jù)上文可知，1950s很多女性的生活方式則是——照顧家庭、服侍丈夫、沒有時(shí)間去追求自己的夢想，這對女性來講是不公平的，故選A。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“I think it39。s important to remember that being a 1950s housewife was actually totally awful, and something our grandmothers and mothers fought against.”我認(rèn)為重要的是要記住，作為一個(gè)50年代的家庭主婦實(shí)際上是非常糟糕的，這是我們的祖母和母親所反對的?？芍髡哒J(rèn)為20世紀(jì)50年代家庭主婦的生活很糟糕。故選C。 （5）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第四段中的“Holte has the chance to live out her fantasy. Not every woman in America is so lucky.”霍爾特有機(jī)會實(shí)現(xiàn)她的夢想。不是每個(gè)美國女人都這么幸運(yùn)。可推知，在美國，并不是所有的女性都有機(jī)會追逐自己的夢想。故選B。 （6）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段“We still don39。t have pay equality and in many states, we still don39。t have autonomy over our own bodies. Poor women and women of color still lack the opportunities of their wealthy and white peers.”我們?nèi)匀粵]有薪酬平等，在許多州，我們?nèi)匀粵]有對自己身體的自主權(quán)。貧困婦女和有色人種婦女仍然缺乏與富裕和白人婦女同等的機(jī)會。由可知，作者寫這篇文章的主要目的是讓讀者注意到女性所面臨的情況，尤其是那些貧窮和有色人種的情況。故選C。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，代詞指代，詞義猜測和推理判斷四個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。4．閱讀理解 Why does night fall but never break and day break but never fall？Why are people who ride motorcycles called bikers and people who ride bikes called cyclists？In what other language do people drive in a parkway and park in a driveway？In what other language do they call the third hand on the clock the second hand？ Let39。s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweetmeats are candy， while sweetbreads, which aren39。t sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes(悖論), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them. And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don39。t fing, grocers don39。t groce, and hammers don39。t ham？If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn39。t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese so one moose, two meese? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next？ English was invented by people, not puters, and it shows the creativity of human beings. That39。s why, when stars are out, they are visible。 but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it。 but when I wind up this essay, I end it.（1）Which of the following words or expressions have the similar meaning? and oversee. a lot and quite a few. as hell and cold as hell. wise man and a wise guy.（2）What does the author probably think of English people? ....（3）What can we learn from the text? rings should be round. should be eggs in an eggplant. are the apples on the pine tree. and sweetbreads are different things.（4）How does the author organize the text? the order of time. the order of place. giving a great number of examples. paring English with the other languages.（5）What39。s the tone(語氣)of the text? and proud. and unsure. and disappointed. and lighthearted.【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）D（4）C（5）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，論述了為什么英語是一門瘋狂的語言。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike?”overlook和oversee怎么會是反義詞，而quite a lot和quite a few卻是很相似的呢？可知，quite a lot和quite a few有相似的意思。故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“English was invented by people, not puters, and it reflects the creativity of human beings.”英語是由人而不是計(jì)算機(jī)發(fā)明的，它反映了人類的創(chuàng)造力，以及列舉了英語中的許多悖論可推知，作者想表明英國人是很聰明的。故選A。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Sweetmeats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren39。t sweet, are meat.”蜜餞是糖果，雜碎是肉，但不甜，可知，蜜餞和雜碎是不同的東西。故選D。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Why does night fall but never break and day break but n
