A.an unidentified reasonB.a disease of the heartC.an unknown family diseaseD.over drinking and smoking【答案】 (1)D(2)B(3)A(4)C(5)B(6)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇人物傳記,講述了Fleming是如何走向?qū)懽髦返摹⑺膶懽魈攸c(diǎn)及他的影響等。 (1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段After the war, Fleming set down his schedule. The first week of January saw him leave England and travel to Jamaica. The first week of March saw his accepted his job at Kemsley newspapers without promise—this portion of the year would be set aside for Jamaica or he would look elsewhere for employment.及第三段中的For 6 years Fleming traveled each winter to Jamaica, lounging in paradise, romancing women, chasing the sunset??芍?,他接受了在肯斯利報(bào)業(yè) 的工作也沒(méi)有妥協(xié)——一年中的有兩個(gè)月將到牙買加(度假),或者他會(huì)去其他地方找工作,故選D。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的but it was not until he faced the pressure of a married woman who was pregnant with his child did Fleming start the writer39。s journey可知,F(xiàn)leming走向?qū)懽髦穪?lái)一類自一位懷孕的婦女的壓力,故選B。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的 but it was not until he faced the pressure of a married woman who was pregnant with his child did Fleming start the writer39。s journey which would change his life and popular culture forever.中的末尾的定語(yǔ)從句中的時(shí)態(tài)would表明定語(yǔ)從句中的內(nèi)容是發(fā)生在Fleming開(kāi)始寫作之后,而且他自己從未想過(guò)自己的會(huì)改變他的一生和流行文化。故選A。 (4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的Fleming39。s career as a writer deserves more examination than can be offered here, but suffice it to say, over the next 12 years, Ian Fleming transformed his elite existence, his arrogance, his style, and his acid wit into some of the greatest thrillers ever written. 弗萊明的寫作生涯值得更多的審視,但在接下來(lái)的12年里,伊恩弗萊明把他的精英生活、他的傲慢、他的風(fēng)格和他尖刻的機(jī)智轉(zhuǎn)變成了一些有史以來(lái)最偉大的驚悚小說(shuō)。根據(jù)句中的elite existence, arrogance, style, and acid等詞都是與個(gè)性特點(diǎn)有關(guān),表明了Fleming在他的小說(shuō)中融進(jìn)了自己獨(dú)特的個(gè)性特點(diǎn),故選C。 (5)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第五段中的Fleming filled out the 12 years of Bond with great adventure journalism. Even in stories which had little action or pay off, such as his short nonfiction book, The Diamond Smugglers, the Flemingflair ensured exciting reading.可知,F(xiàn)leming 用adventure journalism(新聞式的歷險(xiǎn)故事)“充滿”了關(guān)于Bond的故事。Bond是他所寫的故事的主角,即Fleming在小說(shuō)中讓這個(gè)主角經(jīng)歷了各種各樣的“歷險(xiǎn)”,由此可知,B項(xiàng)符合題意。原文中journalism并非與新聞界有關(guān),只是用于描述Fleming的故事的特點(diǎn),因此其他三項(xiàng)是對(duì)journalism的誤解。故選B。 (6)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第七段中的Fleming39。s full life caught up with him through his hear和最后一段中的Nonetheless, Fleming fought the losing battle of his weakening heart by throwing more fuel on the fir都提到了heart一詞,而最后一段中的losing battle of his weakening heart明確了Fleming無(wú)法戰(zhàn)勝他的心臟病,并最終輸?shù)袅伺c心臟病的“戰(zhàn)斗”。由此可知,F(xiàn)leming是死于心臟病的,故選B。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇人物類閱讀,要求考生根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。7.閱讀短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 The siesta petition took place in a supermarket, with plenty of shoppers, screaming babies, talking voices, and footsteps to take the petitors39。 attention away from their after lunch sleeps. Five bright blue sofas were laid out, and five petitors at a time were allowed to take a 20minute sleep. A doctor measured their pulse to time how long they actually spent on asleep. Competitors earned extra points for snoring (打鼾), sleeping in strange positions, or wearing silly pajamas (睡衣). The winners of each round advance to the next stage in the petition. It39。s amazing that any of those people would fall asleep in the middle of such a busy place, while on couches that they are not used to. Yet, many of them did. They hugged pillows or soft toy bears. They covered their eyes with sleep masks, too. Whatever it took to help them fall asleep fast and stay asleep. The siesta is a tradition in Spain that many feel is being forgotten. It used to be that people would take a brief nap after lunch every day. This would energize them, and keep them going for the rest of the day. Not to mention the health benefits of a good nap. But, that39。s all changing. People are too busy making money or watching gossip shows on TV after lunch to care about taking a nap. The National Association of Friends of the Siesta wants to bring Spain back to their traditional roots. They are doing this by having the siesta petition. They set up the petition to reward the best sleepers with money. Actually, they were paid to sleep. There are really health benefits to a midday nap. We could all learn from this tradition. It39。s a much better way to get more energy than drinking a cup of coffee. It is also believed that a nap, and in fact a good night39。s sleep, can help reduce heart disease. The more rested we are, the less stress we feel with daytoday life.(1)The underlined word siesta here probably means ________. A.oversleepB.night sleepC.a short sleep after supperD.a short sleep after lunch(2)In what situation did the petition take place? A.In a noisy place.B.In a quiet place.C.In a fortable place.D.In a familiar place.(3)When the petitors went to sleep, they could ________. A.have their own bedsB.use nothing to cover their eyesC.have doctors to help themD.use something to help them sleep(4)The petition is held because the Association wants to ________. A.know if people still know the traditional habitB.call on people to have their traditional habitC.do some research on how people sleepD.give people money in this way【答案】 (1)D(2)A(3)D(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文,講述了一次“午睡比賽”。午睡比賽在一家超市舉行,有很多購(gòu)物者、尖叫的嬰兒、說(shuō)話的聲音和腳步聲,以分散競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手午飯后睡覺(jué)時(shí)的注意力。舉辦這項(xiàng)比賽是因?yàn)閰f(xié)會(huì)想要號(hào)召人們養(yǎng)成他們的傳統(tǒng)習(xí)慣。 (1)考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第四段中的“The siesta is a tradition in Spain that many feel is being forgotten. It used to be that people would take a brief nap after lunch every day. ”午睡是西班牙的一項(xiàng)傳統(tǒng),許多人覺(jué)得這項(xiàng)傳統(tǒng)正在被遺忘。過(guò)去,人們每天午飯后都會(huì)小睡一會(huì)兒。由此可知第一段中的劃線詞的意思是“午飯后的短睡”。故選D。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“It39。s amazing that any of those people would fall asleep in the middle of such a busy place, while on couches that they are not used to.”令人驚訝的是,盡管在他們不習(xí)慣的沙發(fā)上,這些人中的任何一個(gè)會(huì)在這么繁忙的地方睡著。可知,比賽是在嘈雜的地方進(jìn)行的。故選A。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“They hugged pillows or soft toy bears. They covered their eyes with sleep masks, too. Wh
