2022高考英语唐山市路南区阅读短文复习单词暑假练习(10)及答案.docx

阅读理解。Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart. “I have two kids in college, and I want to say come home, but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Jacobs.The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid form the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school. With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around. At the same time, tuition（学费）continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade, “If we go on this way for another 25years, we wont have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.” Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.1. According to Paragraph 1, why did the plan of Jacobs family fail?A. The twins wasted too much money. B. The father was out of work.C. Their saving ran out. D. The family fell apart.2. How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem?A. They asked their kids to come home.B. They borrowed $20,000 from the school.C. They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.D.

To keep up their work, they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a neverending flood of words. In _1_ a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend _2_ can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are _3_ readers. Most of us develop poor reading _4_ at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency _5_ in the actual stuff of language itselfwords. Taken individually, words have _6_ meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. _7_， however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to _8_ words or passages. The tendency to look back over what you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which _9_ down the speed of reading is vocalizationsounding each word either orally or mentally as one reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an _10_， which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate _11_ the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him.The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, _12_ wordbyword reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible. At first comprehension is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, _13_ your comprehension will improve. Many people have found their reading skill drastically improved after some training. _14_ Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute before the training, now it is an excellent 1，378 words a minute.

Class, power and status are important in deciding peoples rank in society.Class means a persons economic position in society. A commonly used classification is lower class, middle class and upper class. While sociologists disagree on how these terms should be exactly defined, they do describe societies like the United States quite well. One study shows that 53% of Americans belong to the lower class, 46% the middle class, and 1% the upper class. Interestingly, a surgeon earning $500,000 a year and a bus driver earning $50,000 a year both regard themselves as the middle class!Power refers to the amount of control a person has over other people. Obviously, people in positions of great power (such as governors) exercise(行使)big power, but people who take orders from others have less power. Power and class do not always go hand in hand, however. For example, the governor of a state has great power, but he or she may not belong to a corresponding (相应的)economic class. Generally, however, there is a relationship between power and class. To our knowledge, there arent too many people who arent millionaires in the US. Senate!Status is the honor or respect attached to a persons position in society. It can also be affected by power and class, but not necessarily so. For example, a university professor may have a high status but not belong to a high social class or have a lot of power over others.文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，阐明白阶级、权力、地位的定义以及三者之间的关系。13What can we learn about “the middle class” from Paragraph 2?APeople earning $50,000 a year belong to the middle class.BNearly half Americans belong to the middle class.CPeople generally consider bus drivers as the middle class.DSociologists have a clear definition of the middle class.答案：B细节理解题。由其次段第四句话可知美国中产阶级占46%，差不多一半，故B项正确。由第五句话“好玩的是年收入五十万美元的外科医生和五万美元的公交车司机都自认为是中产阶级”，是“自认为”，所以AC项都不对。由第三句话可知D项错误。14According to the text, we know that _.Apower and class do not always correspond with each otherBstatus refers to a persons economic position in societyCpeople with high status have a lot of control over othersDclass is less important in deciding a persons social rank答案：A细节理解题。由第三段第三句话Power and class do not always go hand in hand，可知A项正确。由第四段第一句话可知B项错误；由第四段最终一句话可知C项错误；由第一段其次句话可知D项错误。15Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?答案：A语篇结构题。第一段总体介绍阶级、权力、地位在确定一个人的社会等级方面都很重要，其次三四段分别说明白阶级、权力、和地位，接受了总分结构。故选A项。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。 (2021湖南，C)Its such a happylooking library, painted yellow, decorated with palmtree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, its pedestrianfriendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach Country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.Its a library built with love.A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsinbased nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “Thats what were going to do for our spring break！”Son Austin, now a 10thgrader, didnt see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51yearold owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that hed built years earlier for daughter Abbies toy horses, and made a door of glass.After adding the librarys final touches (装饰), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book，” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.They stocked it with 20 or so books theyd already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again，” said Janey, a stayathome mom.Since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.The projects best payoff, says Peter, are the thankyou notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.” 文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。介绍了Little Free Library这家图书馆的由来及其进展。16In what way is the library “pedestrianfriendly”？AIt owns a yellow roof.BIt stands near a sidewalk.CIt protects book lovers from the sun.DIt uses palmtree stickers as decorations.答案：B细节理解题。文章第一段信息its pedestrianfriendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach country Estates表明这家图书馆是便利到达的，他就在人行道一侧等待读书爱好者。17Janey got the idea to build a library from _.Aa visit to Brian WilliamsBa spring break with her familyCa book sent by one of her neighborsDa report on a Wisconsinbased organization答案：D细节理解题。Janey Henriksen读了Brian Williams关于Little Free Library organization(一个威斯康辛州的非盈利组织)的报告，该组旨在促进文学，通过在社区供应可得到的免费书籍，普及这项文学意识)的一篇报告后，对家人说那就是春假期间他们一家四口要做的事。D项正确。18The library was built _.Aby a ship supply companyBon the basis of toy horsesClike a mailboxDwith glass答案：C细节理解题。第四段首句Son Austin, now a 10thgrader, didnt see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox.表明这个“图书馆”像个“邮箱”。19What can we infer about the signboard?AIt was made by a user of the library.BIt marked a final touch to the library.CIt aimed at making the library last long.DIt indicated the library was a family property.答案：C推理推断题。A它是由使用者建筑的图书馆；B那标志着对图书馆的最终装饰；C那是为了让图书馆连续下去；D那表明这家图书馆是家庭财产。结合第五段信息(尤其是instructing users to “take a book, return a book，” and making the Henriksen library)可知C项正确。20The passage tells us that the users _.Adonate books to the libraryBget paid to collect books for the libraryCreceive thankyou notes for using the libraryDvisit the library over 5 times on average daily答案：A细节理解题。倒数其次段表明，多亏了来自借阅者们不断的图书捐赠，图书供应得以补充，因此现在图书馆平均每天有5次借阅量。
