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?、他的寫作特點(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??芍邮芰嗽诳纤估麍?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)。 We39。ve all had cases where we39。ve waited just a bit too long to pay an electric bill or speeding ticket. But one man, from California by reasonable assumption, who goes by Dave, recently took procrastination (拖延) one step further, by paying a parking ticket almost a halfcentury after it was given. In December 2018, the Minersville Police Department in Pennsylvania received a letter in the mail. Whoever wrote the letter decided it was best to keep his name somewhat unknown, so he put the return address as Wayward Road, Anytown California under the name Feeling guilty. When the officers opened the envelope, they found a brief letter, along with a $5 bill, and a parking ticket dating all the way back to 1974. The note read, Dear PD, I39。ve been carrying this ticket around for 40 plus years always intending to pay. Forgive me if I don39。t give you my info. With respect, Dave. Even though the initial parking ticket was only for $2, Dave must have felt awfully guilty because he left 150 percent, or $3, in interest. Michael Combs, the Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department, stated in an interview that the same ticket would cost about $20 if it were given today. Combs went on to share that the original ticket from 1974 was given to a vehicle that had an Ohio license plate. Because there was no system for tracking tickets given to outofstate cars back then, Dave could have gotten away with never paying the $2 fine. But apparently, guilt got the best of him, and he decided to finally cough up the money more than 40 years past its due date.(1)How much do we know about Dave? A.He lives in Wayward Road, Anytown California.B.The police are trying to find out more about him.C.His car probably came from Ohio at that time.D.Dave is of course the man39。s real name indeed.(2)Why didn39。t Dave pay for the parking ticket until recently? A.He pletely forgot about it in the past 44 years.B.He didn39。t find it until almost half a century later.C.He failed to find out who he should pay the money to.D.He didn39。t pay for it just because of procrastination.(3)What drove Dave to pay for the parking ticket at last? A.A strong sense of guilt.B.Fear of being tracked by the police.C.Worry about being fined more.D.Sudden change of his financial situation.(4)Which of the following can be the best title? A.Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department Shares a StoryB.Mysterious Procrastinator Finally Pays 44YearOld Parking TicketC.Unusual Letter Comes from Wayward Road Anytown CaliforniaD.Parking Ticket Carried Around for Almost Half a Century from Ohio【答案】 (1)C(2)D(3)A(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文,一位神秘的拖延者終于支付了44年的停車罰單。 (1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Combs went on to share that the original ticket from 1974 was given to a vehicle that had an Ohio license plate.”可知,Dave的車可能來(lái)自俄亥俄州。故選C。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Because there was no system for tracking tickets given to outofstate cars back then, ‘Dave’ could have gotten away with never paying the $2 fine.”可知,Dave直到最近才付停車費(fèi)是因?yàn)橥涎?。故選D。 (3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“But apparently, guilt got the best of him, and he decided to finally cough up the money more than 40 years past its due da
