閱讀理解專題突破練5第一節(jié)A體裁:記敘文詞數(shù):315用時:6分鐘I remember the first time I got on a horse.When I was a little boy aged two,my mom agreed to let me take a short ride and that was it!From then on, I drove my parents crazy begging for a horse.When I was four,I had mutism,in which children stop speaking in certain social situations.I went days,weeks,months without a sound at school.At most,I might quietly whisper to a friend.I suffered silently through school until I was ten when a psychologist had an idea.He asked me what I wanted more than anything else in the world.He explained I was going to be given an opportunity to work for that.And I was permitted to whisper the answer in my mothers ear,“A horse.”I was to get a pony,but I had to live up to my end of the bargain.I had a chart of weekly tasks I had to accomplish.I had to answer the phone five times per week,something I had never done before.I had to say one word to my teacher at school and the list went on.For a child with mutism,saying one word to someone can be like climbing the high mountains.I did everything that was asked of me and the day came.His name was Sequoia,whom I fell in love with immediately.When I was in Sequoias presence,I forgot all about my problems and felt strong and secure.I am a fully participating member of society these days.My horse and I made it through a masters degree.I may have made it otherwise,but Im not sure.I feel I owe my life to the horse and I try to give it back to him every day.He has given me the best gift I could ever imagine,my life.【解題導語】作者從小愛馬,四歲時患有緘默癥,在心理醫(yī)生的幫助下,接受了艱苦的訓練;當和馬在一起時,他感到非常放松。如今,他已經能夠融入社會。1.What was the situation like when the author was four?A.He didnt say a word at all.B.He learned how to ride a horse.C.He found his classmates unfriendly.D.He had difficulty in communicating.答案D解析細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的第一句“When I was four,I had mutism,in which children stop speaking in certain social situations”可知,“我”在四歲時患上了緘默癥,在溝通上有困難,故D項正確。2.What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 3?A.He completed some tasks easily.B.He pushed himself extremely hard.C.He fell in love with Sequoia gradually.D.He found the psychologists idea ineffective.答案B解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的第五句可知,對于一個患有緘默癥的孩子來說,跟別人說一句話像爬高山一樣難;據(jù)此可以判斷,“我”在努力接受訓練,故B項正確。3.What is the authors purpose of writing the text?A.To share his unfortunate childhood.B.To give tips on how to cure mutism.C.To show his deep gratefulness to his horse.D.To inspire kids struggling against mutism.答案C解析推理判斷題。通讀全文可知,本文的主題句是本文最后兩句“I feel I owe my life to the horse and I try to give it back to him every day.

Similarly, cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body,making that vital muscle even stronger.Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day.The heat and humidity in summer can drag you down and tire you faster,but cold weather is refreshing.It adjusts you to your surroundings,making you feel alive.Of course,the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise.Heart attacks,strokes,lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog.The combination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems.If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days,take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust(廢氣),and go early in the morning,before rush hour.But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.【解題導語】本文介紹了冬季戶外跑步的意義和方法。冬季戶外跑步能燃燒更多的熱量,讓肌肉更強健,心臟更健康,但是應當避免在霧霾時進行戶外活動。8.How does cold weather benefit runners,compared with warm weather?A.They can run more slowly.B.They can take in more calories.C.Their hearts can function harder.D.Their body temperature can get lower.答案C解析細節(jié)理解題。由題干關鍵詞“benefit”和“compared with warm weather”可將答案定位至第二段的最后一句“Similarly.makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body,making that vital muscle even stronger.”由此可知,與溫暖的天氣相比,在寒冷的天氣里戶外跑步能使心臟更健康,故C項正確。9.How does summer affect runners?A.It builds up their energy quickly.B.It makes runners tired easily.C.It lessens runners stress.D.It causes heart attacks.答案B解析細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二句中的“The heat and humidity in summer can drag you down and tire you faster”可知,夏季的炎熱和濕氣容易讓跑步的人很快就感到疲勞,故B項正確。10.What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days?A.Stop driving cars.B.Do more exercise.C.Avoid outdoor exercise.D.Run late in the morning.答案C解析細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的最后一句“But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.”可知,如果有霧霾,最好待在室內,等到天氣晴朗時再去跑步,故C項正確。 11.What can be the best title of the text?A.Refresh with a Winter RunB.Take Outdoor Exercise in SummerC.Go to Run in a ParkD.Follow the Tips to Reduce Stress答案A解析主旨大意題。通讀全文可知,本文介紹了冬季早晨戶外跑步的意義和方法。冬季跑步能燃燒更多的熱量,讓肌肉更強健,心臟更健康,但是應當避免在霧霾天氣進行戶外活動。據(jù)此可以判斷,A項最能概括文意,故A項正確。D體裁:議論文詞數(shù):315用時:7分鐘(2017重慶西北狼教育聯(lián)盟第一期聯(lián)考)Many people delight in gossiping,and the more they know about someone else,the more powerful they feelat someone elses expense.While at the end of the day no good will come of it and someone is bound to get hurt,try telling that to someone whos excited to relay the latest piece of juicy news.Most people have some awareness when saying something we know we shouldnt.As it is slipping out of our mouths,we start to feel uncomfortable.We have a sense of conflict between finishing the sentence that may draw attention but wont make anyone look good and awkwardly stopping mid-story.There are those who after spreading gossip end with a well-meaning,“I shouldnt have said anything and I cant really tell you how I heard it.” Not any better.Once out,they may feel good for a moment,but theyre just as likely to regret their decision.By this time,it is too late.That said,some people just dont notice or pay attention to the voice in their head saying “Dont”,and others actively ignore it.In the end,the results are the same.With our lack of sensitivity,we say things that should never be said and often dont stop long enough to realize that we have not only hurt others,but we have unintentionally hurt ourselves.Given this,why do people gossip?For some,it feels good to be in control of knowledge that others may not know.Talking about others can become a habit and unless you work hard to break it,you may discover that others distance themselves from you.After all,if you cant be trusted to keep secrets and not share information,people may choose not to have you as their friend.We have two ears and just one mouth.When in doubt,it is always better to listen than to speak.【解題導語】本文主要論述了有些人熱衷于說閑話的原因,并說明這種習慣的壞處以及如何改正這一不良習慣。12.Whats the closest meaning of the underlined word “relay”?A.showB.coverC.spreadD.get答案C解析詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞所在句中的“someone whos excited to”和“the latest piece of juicy news”可知,盡管這到頭來沒有什么好處,并且有人很可能會受到傷害,但是人們還是試圖告訴某個熱衷于傳播最新有趣消息的人。據(jù)此可以判斷,畫線詞意為“傳播”,故C項正確。13.Which statement is NOT the reason for people being conscious of saying something they know they shouldnt?A.They feel not good when they leak out it.B.They arent interested in it.C.They have a sense of conflict during saying it.D.They probably regret saying it.答案B解析細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的第二句“As it is slipping out of our mouths,we start to feel uncomfortable.”可知,一旦說出口,我們便感到不舒服;根據(jù)第二段第三句中的“We have a sense of conflict”可知,我們對是否要說出口會感到很矛盾:根據(jù)第二段的倒數(shù)第二句“Once out,they may feel good for a moment,but theyre just as likely to regret their decision.”可知,他們會對說出去的話感到后悔。B項沒有提及,故選B項。14.Why do people say something that should never be said and can hurt others?A.Because they want to hurt others.B.Because they hate this kind of people.C.Because they dont know each other well.D.Because they are lack of sensitivity.答案D解析細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的第三句“With our lack of sensitivity,we say things that should never be said and often dont stop long enough to realize that we have not only hurt others,but we have unintentionally hurt ourselves.”可知,由于我們缺乏敏感性,所以我們才會說出不應該說的話,故D項正確。15.From the last paragraph,we can know that. A.we should speak less and listen moreB.we cant keep secretsC.we havent many friendsD.we should talk about others as much as possible答案A解析細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一句“When in doubt,it is always better to listen than to speak.”可知,我們應當多聽少說,故A項正確。根據(jù)最后一段的第二句“After all,if you cant be trusted to keep secrets and not share information,people may choose not to have you as their friend.”可知,我們應當保守秘密,不要隨意傳播信息,否則會喪失朋友,故B、C、D三項錯誤。第二節(jié)體裁文:說明文詞數(shù):237用時:7分鐘Whether you are at Disneyland or another Disney park,you will usually find a nighttime show that will be showing. 16Read this article to find out how you can get a good seat for an evening event at any Disney park. Plan on seeing the show in advance.Usually,if you decide an hour beforehand that youre going to see a show,you will likely end up not getting a good seat,unless the park is not very busy.17 Do your research.Research online:“The best places to view.”18Some of them may even be less known,so you may not deal with such a big crowd. Arrive to the event early.19Possibly even earlier if the park is more crowded on that day.If you arrive ten minutes before the event starts,youre a lot less likely to get a good spot. 20 If you must leave to do something,make sure that its extremely quick,and try to have another member of your party stay in your spot while you are away.A.Stay in the same area.B.Enjoy the show with a friend.C.Its usually much more enjoyable if you can get a good seat.D.This is especially important if you arrive closer to the event time.E.In order to get a good spot,plan on arriving an hour before the event.F.Therefore,look at the schedule before your trip,or at least the day before.G.Youll see a list of places in the park that are the best for viewing that event.答案與解析【解題導語】本文主要介紹了如何在迪士尼公園舉辦的晚會上找到好座位的方法。16.C空處用來引出本文的話題,在這里起到承上啟下的作用;由空后一句中的“how you can get a good seat”可以判斷,C項與此處對應。17.F根據(jù)該段標題“Plan on seeing the show in advance.”并結合空前一句的內容可知,該段主要介紹選好位置的方法之一:提前做好觀看演出的計劃,故F項與此處匹配。18.G根據(jù)空前一句中的“The best places to view.”可知,選G項“你將會看到公園里觀看演出的最佳位置的列表”。19.E根據(jù)該段標題“Arrive to the event early.”和空后一句的內容可知,空處主要介紹提前到達演出現(xiàn)場這一方法,故E項符合文意。20.A根據(jù)空處所在位置可知,空處為該段標題,是該段的主旨;根據(jù)該段中的“make sure that its extremely quick,and try to have another member of your party stay in your spot while you are away”可知,該段主要介紹“要待在座位上,如需出去,可由伙伴占座”的方法,故A項最適合做該段標題。12
