2021高考英语(三月)阅读类自练(6)及答案(济南市)
阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
You’re sitting on the train home and the person opposite you yawns(打哈欠). Suddenly, you’re yawning with him, though you’re not tired.
This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to sympathize with fellow humans. Supporting this claim was the discovery that those children who were unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagious(有感染力的) yawning, which showed that humans communicate regularly without words.
Hugo Critchley, a neuroscientist, has conducted an experiment recently, which will prove that happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critchley, our mind and body are in constant exchange about how we’re feeling. “Emotions are closely linked with states of internal(内部的) responses,” he explained. “There are also more visible changes in our gestures and facial expressions. When we’re in a group, these signals can spread to another person. For example, there’s the obvious tendency to smile when smiled at and there are less obvious changes that reflect emotions of surprise, anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure.”
Hugo Critchley further explained, “Our bodies synchronise and when we like the other person, we even copy his behavior. Next time you chat with a friend, take note of how you’re sitting—it’s pretty likely that you will be the same. Scientists believe it’s our way of telling each other that we’re partners. Through body language, humans give each other very subtle(微妙的) but clear signals that show emotions.”
So, what lessons can we learn from this? “Spend time with happy people—otherwise your health could suffer,” said Critchley. “When we’re sad, our body goes into fight or flight mode. But when we’re happy, our body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive. So we look bright, our skin glows, we feel healthy and it affects everyone around us.”
1. According to Hugo Critchley, .
A. emotions are as visible as facial expressions
B. we yawn more frequently when we have a cold

D. the change of blood pressure is not linked with the change of emotions
2. The underlined word “synchronise” in Paragraph 4 means “ ”.

C. relax temporarily D. respond accordingly
3. From the passage we can learn .
A. sadness is as contagious as happiness
B. anger is less contagious than friendliness
C. surprise is more contagious than smile
D. surprise is the most contagious among emotions
4. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Emotions have delicate influence on fellow humans.
B. Children like copying the actions of fellow humans.
C. Scientists are still confused about contagious yawning.
D. People tend to communicate more with body language.
【参考答案】1—4、CDBA
阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
It's 5:00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I force my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. It's not a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.
Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother's chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it's okay to just say “no”. I shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat.
So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.?What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases selfconfidence and energy,extends life and above all improves my body shape.This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right.It's through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.
一个每天按时起床熬炼身体的女人,一个有着自己共性与喜好的女人,为了保持自己的体型,降低压力,提高自信,坚持着这种日复一日的熬炼,让自己每天都挂着笑容面对生活。
1.Why is there a smile on the author's face in the morning?
A.Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.
B.Because she finishes her favorite exercise.
C.Because she enjoys the interesting DVD.
D.Because she feels a sense of achievement.
答案:D。细节推断题。依据第一个段落的最终一句话, 先排解C的说法;在本句中“a smile of success of pushing…”可以断定其实是一种成就感令她脸上挂着笑容。最大的干扰项可能会是B,但假如细读,会找到关键词“success”。
2.Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?
A.She doesn't treat others politely.
B.She likes to make others surprised.
C.Others don't understand what she dose.
D.Others try to help her by offering her food.
答案:C。细节推断题。从本段的情节来看,选项A,D都相差甚远;而“I need exercise to get through each day”正是表明白作者的喜好,而不是像选项B说的宠爱格外,故排解B。从“raised their eyebrows, surprised by...”来看,其实别人是感到惊异而已。
3.What does the underlined word “commitment” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Good health. B.Firm belief.
C.A strong power. D.A regular habit.
答案:B。词意理解题。从全文的语境信息来看,这么多年,这么坚持,这么享受,而且从“sweat”一词身上也能找到提示,即:坚决的信念与汗水,故选项B最符合语境。
4.What can we learn about the author from the text?
A.She acts in a strange way.
B.She wants to look different from others.
C.She aims to develop a good body shape.
D.She has difficulty getting along with others.
答案:C。理解推断题。文章的最终一段中有一句话“above all improves my body shape”,从这句话中可以确定选项C的说法是正确的。
