河南?？h2017高考英語暑假閱讀理解基礎(chǔ)題（五）
閱讀理解。閱讀下列短文, 從給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng) (A、B、C和D) 中, 選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
Something that has always interested me about Abraham Lincoln is, not surprisingly, his sense of humor. As far as I can tell, he’s the first American President to have one.
That’s because the term“sense of humor”really wasn’t in common usage until the eighteen sixties and seventies. In the eighteen forties and fifties, it was called“the sense of the ridiculous”, and didn’t have the positive connotations(隱含意義)that“sense of humor”has today. Back then, what was ridiculous was what invited ridicule(譏笑). Funniness and cruelty went hand in hand. Of course, they still do a lot of arm-in-arm walking in our day as well.
Lincoln’s humor was very different because, for one thing, it was actually“humor”as what the word meant in his time. We don’t make the distinction between“wit(風(fēng)趣)”and“humor”anymore; but in the nineteenth century people did. Wit was unpleasant and offensive while humor was pleasant and sympathetic. It’s the difference we note now when we distinguish between“l(fā)aughing with”and“l(fā)aughing at”. Lincoln was much more about“l(fā)aughing with”than“l(fā)aughing at”. And when“l(fā)aughing at”, it was often himself he was teasing.
In the famous Lincoln-Douglas debate, when Douglas accused Lincoln of being two-faced, Lincoln replied, referencing his plain looking, “Honestly, if I were two-faced, would I be showing you this one? ”And, in a way, Lincoln’s face itself tells us much about his sense of humor.
You can comb through thousands of photographs of politicians, soldiers, and the like from Lincoln’s time and not find a single smile.
True, the long exposures(曝光)required for photographs of that time made smiling difficult. Yet Lincoln alone, as far as I can tell, overcame that difficulty.
Interestingly, while having a sense of humor, or at least the appearance of one provided by comedy writers, has become a necessary characteristic for an American President in our time, in the nineteenth century, too much humor was considered a problem. And that was the case for Lincoln. A journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debate commented that“I could not take a real personal liking to the man, owing to an inborn weakness for which he was even then notorious and so remained during his great public career, he was extremely fond of jokes, anecdotes, and stories. ”
【文章大意】說起第16任美國總統(tǒng)亞伯拉罕·林肯, 很多人會(huì)立即想起他對(duì)解放黑奴和維護(hù)美利堅(jiān)聯(lián)邦完整所做出的巨大貢獻(xiàn), 想起他能言善辯的口才和妙語連珠的演講, 但卻很少有人知道, 林肯的“幽默感”也開創(chuàng)了一個(gè)新時(shí)代。
1. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that .
A. the American President could influence the use of English
B. the term“sense of humor”wasn’t invented until the 1860s
C. what is funny to someone might be offensive to someone else
D. the concept of humor remains the same despite the passing of time
【解析】選C。推理判斷題。根據(jù)該段中“didn’t have the positive connotations that‘sense of humor’has today(沒有今天幽默感所具有的積極的隱含意義)”和“Back then, what was ridiculous was what invited ridicule. (在當(dāng)時(shí), 好笑的事就是招致譏笑的事。)”可知C項(xiàng)正確。
2. The underlined words“this one”in Paragraph 4 refer to .
A. Lincoln’s unattractive face
B. Lincoln’s sense of humor
C. the debate they were having
D. cruelty that went with funniness
【解析】選A。詞義猜測(cè)題。在林肯與道格拉斯的辯論中, 道格拉斯批評(píng)林肯是兩面派, 而林肯提到自己相貌平平(his plain looking), 接著指出“如果我是兩面派, 我還會(huì)向你展現(xiàn)我相貌平平的一面嗎”。這說明林肯很幽默。
3. We rarely see people from Lincoln’s time wear a smile in their photos because .
A. being humorous was considered inappropriate
B. they found it quite funny to smile before the camera
C. not smiling for photographs was the fashion
D. photography technology then was not advanced
【解析】選D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從原文倒數(shù)第二段可知“當(dāng)時(shí)攝影時(shí), 照片曝光時(shí)間比較長, 這使得拍照時(shí), 人們很難保持微笑”。
4. What might the writer think of the journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debate?
A. His comment accurately reflected his time.
B. He created a false picture of Lincoln.
C. He was prejudiced and self-centered.
D. He was brave to point out Lincoln’s weakness.
【解析】選A。推理判斷題。報(bào)道林肯與道格拉斯的辯論的記者所說的話準(zhǔn)確地反映了當(dāng)時(shí)那個(gè)時(shí)代。
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A，B，C和D中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
LONDON (Reuters) — Children are dying for lack of drugs tailored to their needs, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), which launched a global campaign on Thursday to promote more research into child medicine.
More than half of the drugs currently used to treat children in the industrialized world have not been specifically tested on youngsters.
The problem is even worse in developing countries where price remains a major barrier and 6 million children die each year from treatable conditions.
In the case of HIV/AIDS, the few existing pediatric therapies（兒科的療法）developed for children generally cost three times more than adult ones.
As a result, clinicians lack clear guidelines on the best drug to use and often have to guess at the correct dose.
Fortunately, the WHO has drawn up the first international List of Essential Medicines for Children, containing 206 products considered safe for children.
“But a lot remains to be done. There are priority medicines that have not been adapted for children’s use or are not available when needed,” said Dr Hans, the U.N. agency’s director of medicines policy and standards.
Medicines that need to be adapted to children’s needs include many antibiotics, pain drugs as well as combination pills for HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.
The agency is building an Internet entrance linking to clinical trials carried out in children and will launch a Web site with the information early next year.
Testing medicines on children has always been a controversial issue, since good ethical（倫理的）practice requires informed agreement from people participating in clinical trials, which is difficult to obtain in the case of children.
As a result, research-based drug companies have been wary of developing child-friendly medicines and general companies have been slow to produce them at lower cost.
In an attempt to deal with the issue, both Europe and the United States now have special rules offering extended patent protection for drugs that have been tested on children.
【文章大意】本文敘述了兒童急需適合他們需要的藥物?，F(xiàn)在兒童服用的藥物中有一半以上沒有對(duì)兒童進(jìn)行檢測(cè)。幸運(yùn)的是世界衛(wèi)生組織公布了206種藥物兒童可以安全服用的藥物。兒童藥物的檢測(cè)一直有爭議。因此兒童藥物的生產(chǎn)進(jìn)行較緩慢。

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A.B.C和D項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
One day while Father was in his office downtown, Auntie Gussie and Cousin Flossie arrived. Mother immediately began planning to take them to dine at the Waldorf, a much – talked – of new hotel at Fifth Avenue and Thirty – third Street, which she very much wanted so see. She knew Father mightn’t like the idea, but he would enjoy himself after he got there, and she thought she could manage him. When he came in, she went to his bedroom to break the good news to him. Whenever she was planning to manage him, the very tone of her voice put him on guard; it had an impatient note, as though really the only plan she could think of was to wish he was manageable. So on this occasion, when she tried to get him in a good mood, he instantly got in a bad one. He looked suspiciously (懷疑地) at Mother and said, “I don’t feel well.”
But Mother was fully prepared to see that he would take it hard at the start. She said brightly that the Waldorf was lovely and that it would do him good to go out. There was no dinner at home for him anyway, so what else was there to do?
When Father took in the situation, he undressed and put on his nightshirt. He shouted angrily at Mother that he had a sick headache. It made no difference to him whether there was any dinner or not. What he needed was rest. After walking around, he put his clothes away and darkened his room. He climbed into bed. Pulling up the sheets, he let out his breath in deep groans (呻吟).
Mother had got tired of scolding Father and trying to make him get out of bed, and had made up her mind to dine at the Waldorf without him. She and Auntie Gussie and Flossie marched off by themselves. But they had to come back almost immediately because Mother didn’t have enough money, and when she rushed into Father’s sickroom and lit the gas again and made him get up and give her ten dollars, his roars (咆哮) of pain were terrific.
60．Mother wants to dine at the Waldorf probably because .
A．she has not prepared dinner
B．she feels Father needs a change
C．she’s curious to know what the new hotel is like
D．Auntie Gussie and Gousin Flossie have come to visit
61．From the underlined sentence “he would take it hard”, we learn that Father would .
A．talk with Mother seriously B．face Mother with difficulty
C．feel very upset about the idea D．a(chǎn)ccept the idea unwillingly
62．We can infer from the passage that .
A．Father has a poor appetite
B．Father pretends to be sick
C．Father has the final say in the family
D．Father thinks dining out a waste of time
63．What is the author’s attitude?
A．He stands by Mother. B．He takes Father’s side.
C．He is ashamed of his parents. D．He is just reporting the story.

閱讀理解。閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
I really hadn’t meant to yell at them. But that grey afternoon saw it just as my son and daughter were making a terrible mess on the floor in the kitchen.
With a tiresome report to write, I felt bothered at my desk. Suddenly, it occurred to me that my kids were at fault. A voice inside me insisted that I do something quickly.
“Ok, you two here, but what an awful thing you are attempting!” I was shouting angrily. I made for them, while it became evident that the boy wanted no part of me. “Get away from us!” he shouted back, there being an expression of support from his sister.
All of a sudden, I found the fault in myself. Quickly I shaped my hands into pincers(鉗子) and crawled towards them, “Crabby（暴躁的） Daddy is here. Ha, Ha, Ha, he likes to yell at children, and then eat them!” My son continued to keep me away, but now he was laughing and crying at the same time. My mission to repair the damage caused by my yelling seemed to work well. Still, I regretted not having controlled myself first in a right way.
Need I let them know how badly they were acting by blaming? This is a lesson that serves myself. It only shows just how to get rid of something (ill-feelings, responsibility…) by blaming others. It’s not my “best self”.
We have to search for our “best self” when with our children. They don’t need perfect parents, but they do need parents who are always trying to get better. Here, I am reminded of the words of a great thinker. “When a man lives with God, his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the book…” Then, in our lifetime, couldn’t we always speak to our kids in such a sweet voice since most of us consider them as the most precious in the world? And before we reach this level, what should we do when we come across various difficult cases with our children?
【文章大意】本文敘述了作者忙于煩人的工作時(shí)，發(fā)現(xiàn)孩子把房間弄的亂七八糟，于是大喊。孩子們因此不愿意理他了。當(dāng)作者發(fā)現(xiàn)自己錯(cuò)了，他于是開始于孩子開玩笑，逗樂孩子。作者認(rèn)為大人要始終對(duì)孩子保持最好的一面，不要對(duì)孩子著急發(fā)火。

45. What does “the boy wanted no part of me” in the third paragraph mean?
A. The boy was happy because I loved them.
