(3)C(4)B 【解析】【分析】Devon Gallagher小時(shí)因病右腿截肢,盡管有很多不便,但她認(rèn)為這可以激勵(lì)她過(guò)上最好的生活。長(zhǎng)大后Gallagher在社交媒體上分享自己環(huán)球旅行的照片,但她并沒(méi)有簡(jiǎn)單的使用地理標(biāo)簽,而是拍照前在假肢上寫下自己的位置。她的故事告訴我們不要讓任何東西擋住通往夢(mèng)想的道路。 (1)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中Although the amputation caused inconvenience for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.。盡管截肢早期給她帶來(lái)了很多不便,但她認(rèn)為這可以激勵(lì)她過(guò)上最好的生活。由此可知Gallagher想以她獨(dú)特的方式表明她把自己的不幸看做是另一種幸運(yùn)的形式,故選C。 (2)推理判斷題。Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam relaxing on a wall…現(xiàn)在她在整個(gè)大陸拍照,應(yīng)該是這些照片展示了…所以which指代的是她拍的照片,故選B。 (3)推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalkboard, Gallagher said. My mum and grandmother didn39。t like the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did.Gallagher說(shuō)她媽媽和外婆都不喜歡她chalkboard的主意,但她的朋友喜歡,讓她去試試,所以她就去了,可知Gallagher很有決心。根據(jù)第二段To spread that message. Gallagher has gone to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the world, but instead of simply using a geotag (地理位置標(biāo)簽), she writes her location on her artificial leg before taking a picture。Gallagher把她的位置寫在假肢上來(lái)和大家分享可知他是一個(gè)很有創(chuàng)造性的人,故選C。 (4)主旨大意題。最后一段And if life gives you an artificial leg, make art。是本文的主題句,根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知本文主要描述的是截肢的Gallagher在社交媒體上分享自己環(huán)球旅行的照片,但她并沒(méi)有簡(jiǎn)單的使用地理標(biāo)簽,而是拍照前在假肢上寫下自己的位置的故事。這篇文章是想通過(guò)Gallagher的一條假肢,傳達(dá)出一種樂(lè)觀向上的生活態(tài)度,故A Special Artificial Leg是最好的標(biāo)題。故選A。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】考查閱讀理解。本文涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解題、推理判斷題和主旨大意題三種??碱}型,細(xì)節(jié)理解題要注意從文中尋找答案;推理判斷題需要聯(lián)系上下文以及分析特殊句式,推斷出需要的信息;主旨大意題需要通讀全文,了解大意之后找出中心思想。5.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. The history of the world is but the biography (傳記) of great men, argued Thomas Carlyle, the advocate of what has e to be known as the Great Man Theory of History. This theory suggests that the broader movements and outline of history all go back to the leadership of great individuals who had unique influence on their times. Whether or not Carlyle39。s theory proves true is debatable, but that certain individuals cast long shadows is not. As one who is entrusted with a leadership position, I find it profitable to read of others who have led. Wherever you find me, you39。ll likely find a good biography nearby. Why is this the case? First, I find good biographies fascinating. I39。ll occasionally read a novel, but I39。ve never been overly drawn to fiction. I have found myself unable to sleep while in the struggle of the Battle of Britain in William Manchester39。s The Last Lion. For me, not to read biographies would rob me of pleasure in my life. Second, I find good biographies informative. A good biographer tells not only the story of a person, but also of their times. Reading a good biography is like wandering through an intellectual shopping mall. The first store is what drew you there, but you will be pleasantly surprised along the way at what other items grab your attention. You39。ll find no better account of the British Empire at its peak than the opening chapters of Manchester39。s Visions of Glory, volume one of his The Last Lion. Strictly speaking, a biography is but a slice of history. Third, I find good biographies relaxing. Winston Churchill once noted a man who works with his hands should have a hobby that engages his mind, and a man who works with his mind should have a hobby that engages his hands. Another way to apply Churchill39。s saying is to bine technical, peninhand vocational reading with leisurely biographical reading. Indeed, few things are more relaxing to me than winding down the evening and entering into another world. This is why I love reading good biographies, and why I pity the person who neglects them. Don39。t be counted among their number.(1)What is implied in the first paragraph? A.The author finds Carlyle39。s theory undebatable.B.Carlyle believes great men alone cannot create history.C.It is debatable whether one should read great men39。s biographies.D.The author agrees that history is greatly influenced by certain men.(2)What does the underlined phrase other items in the third paragraph refer to? A.good biographiesB.stories of certain timesC.the volumes of The Last LionD.the chapters of the British Empire(3)Which of the following statements is TRUE? A.The author considers biographical reading enjoyable.B.The author can travel to another world in the evening.C.The author has fought many battles during his lifetime.D.The author profits mercially by reading biographies.(4)What is the author39。s main purpose in writing the article? A.To analyze the benefits of vocational reading.B.To introduce to readers his unique reading strategies.C.To present great men39。s history through biography reading.D.To remend biography reading through his own experiences.【答案】 (1)D(2)B(3)A(4)D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文,作者闡述了喜歡讀好的傳記的原因。 (1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的This theory suggests that the broader movements and outline of history all go back to the leadership of great individuals who had unique influence on their times可知,這一理論表明,更廣泛的歷史運(yùn)動(dòng)和輪廓都可以追溯到對(duì)其時(shí)代有獨(dú)特影響的偉大人物的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。所以通過(guò)第一段的關(guān)鍵詞go back to,had unique influence on their times,判斷出第一段暗示了作者同意歷史受某些人的影響很大。故選D。 (2)考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第三段中的A good biographer tells not only the story of a person, but also of their times. Reading a good biography is like wandering through an intellectual shopping mall. The first store is what drew you there, but you will be pleasantly surprised along the way at what other items grab your attention. 可知,一個(gè)好的傳記作家不僅講述一個(gè)人的故事,而且還在講述他們所處的時(shí)代。讀一本好的傳記就像漫步在一個(gè)充滿智慧的購(gòu)物中心。第一家商店吸引了你,但你會(huì)驚喜地發(fā)現(xiàn),還有其它的商品吸引了你的注意力。所以作者把讀好的傳記比喻成購(gòu)物,將歷史人物和某個(gè)時(shí)期的歷史故事比喻成商店的商品。故判斷出第三段劃線的other items指的是某個(gè)時(shí)期的故事。故選B。 (3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的For me, not to read biographies would rob me of pleasure in my life以及第三段 Indeed, few things are more relaxing to me than winding down the evening and entering into another world.可知,對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō),不讀傳記會(huì)剝奪我生活的樂(lè)趣。的確,沒(méi)有什么事情比悠閑地度過(guò)夜晚,進(jìn)入另一個(gè)世界更令我放松。所以作者認(rèn)為傳記閱讀令人愉快。故A選項(xiàng)作者認(rèn)為傳記閱讀令人愉快是正確的。故選A。 (4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的First, I find good biographies fascinating.;第三段中的Second, I find good biographies informative.;第四段中的Third, I find good biographies relaxing. 以及最后段This is why I love reading good biographies, and why I pity the person who neglects them. Don39。t be counted among their number.可知,首先,我覺(jué)得好的傳
