2021高考英语【南宁市】（三月）阅读类课外自练（1）及答案阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。Very often when I go to look at someones garden and they complain that for some reason it does not feel right to them. What I notice is that the design quite complicated. Or, sometimes there is no real design and the layout (布局) just looks messy. Creating a garden without some form of design is like trying to bake a cake without a recipe. With a cake you can add together ingredients (原料) from the cupboard and fridge in the hope that the result will be a perfectly baked cake. Both creating a garden and baking a cake follow outlines for getting a result. Know just when to add something, when to take the mix off the heat or how much oil to use, etc. An experienced garden designer can help you create a garden best suited to you and your lifestyle, rather than impose their own ideas on you. He will listen to and help draw out your ideas. By keeping the garden design simple you and your chosen designer will have created the structure of a garden, similar to the structure of a house together with some details. A golden rule to remember is that garden design is not about choosing the right plants. Dont get caught up in the idea that you have to choose the right plants for the job straight away. Plant choice comes almost at the last minute in many cases, after you and your designer have created style or feeling you are wanting to have in your garden. Design is about creating a constructable (可构造的) image for the garden, including form and shape, sounds, smells, even tastes and often, believe it or not, plants are never used. By keeping the design simple, especially if you are learning about design or taking on the project by yourself, you are increasing your chances of a successful design, one that matches your standard for your life. 1.

It not only tastes wonderful, but also its very good for your body. It is one of Mother Natures most precious gifts to cooks of all levels. Choose garlic heads that are firm to the touch, with no scars or soft cloves (蒜瓣). If you notice dark, powdery patches under the skin, pass it up because this is an indication of a common mold which will eventually spoil the flesh. Store unpeeled heads of garlic in an open container in a cool, dry place away from other foods. Do not refrigerate or freeze unpeeled garlic. Properly stored garlic can keep up to three months. As garlic ages, it will begin to produce green sprouts in the center of each clove. These infant green sprouts can be bitter, so throw them before using the garlic for your recipe. However, if you plant the cloves and let them grow to a height of about six inches, you can use the sprouts like chives (韭黄) in salads and such. Garlic can also be purchased as peeled whole cloves, both stored in olive or vegetable oil. It is urgent that garlic in oil be stored under refrigeration to avoid potentially-deadly bacteria growth. If you use a lot of garlic and wish to cut your preparation time down, you can pre-peel and store your own in oil in the refrigerator, but the best flavor will come from freshly-peeled cloves. Use garlic powder, garlic salt, and garlic juice only as a last resort. To peel a garlic clove, place it on a cutting board on its side, and gently press down quickly with the flat side of a butcher knife. The skin should then easily peel off. If you find the skin clinging desperately to the clove, congratulations! You have fresh garlic. As garlic ages, the skin is gradually dried-up, making it easier to peel. 1. The passage is mainly about. A. how to select, store and peel garlic B. what garlic tastes and smellsC. where to keep the garlic D. when to reap the garlic2. A dark patch under the skin of garlic means. A. the cloves of garlic are soft B. the garlic has been kept for longC. something wrong with the garlic D. the garlic has been cooked3. The underlined word “sprouts” means. A. new parts growing on a plant B. newly seeds growing on a plant C. parts belonging to a branching shape D. thin skin attached to garlic4. If you want to store garlic, . A. you can keep it in the refrigerator up to three monthsB. youd better keep the peeled in the refrigeratorC. you may keep frozen unpeeled garlicD. you can put garlic in vegetable oil5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The sprouts of garlic tastes like chives. B. Garlic juice is better than the freshly-peeled. C. A cutting board is helpful for peeling garlic. D. Olive oil is needed when cooking garlic. 【参考答案】15、ACABC 完型填空。阅读下面短文，把握其大意，然后从以下题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。夹叙夹议型完形填空 For a long time I saw happiness as a huge banner (旗帜)across the finish line of a long race. I felt that only when I _1_ certain things could I finally be happy in my life. Most of the time I felt like a tortoise believing that being slow and _2_ would win the race. At other times I would _3_ like a rabbit trying different side roads at a dangerous speed hoping to reach that banner a little faster. _4_， I began to see that no matter how long I raced towards it, the banner was never any _5_.I finally decided one day to sit down and take a break. It was then that I saw my _6_ sitting beside me.It had been with me as I _7_ hard to support my family, as I played with my children and heard their _8_ and even when I was sick with my wife at my side looking after me. It had been with me as I raced towards that stupid banner. I just didnt have the _9_ to see it. There is an old Chinese proverb that says, “Tension is what you think you should be. _10_ is who you are.” Perhaps we all should stop our race towards the _11_ life we think we should have and _12_ the life we have now. Happiness will never be found under some banner far away. It will be found in your own heart, soul and mind. It will be found when you _13_ that others love you just as you do. Dont be a tortoise or a rabbit when it comes to your happiness. Be a playful puppy and carry your stick of _14_ with you everywhere you go. _15_ yourself out of the race and realize that when it comes to love and happiness, you are already there.1.
