2021成都高考英语阅读理解、完形填空三月课外小练(5)答案
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中,选出最佳选项。
Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized(把…归类) as "honor" help you create this life of good feelings.
Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk's mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky(卑鄙的) excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case, where we don't tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate(演示) that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it's started, it's easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.
1. According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our_______.
A. self-respect B. financial rewards C. advertising ability D. friendly relationship
2. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to_______.
A. lying B. stealing C. cheating D. advertising
3. The underlined phrase "bringing the error to the clerk's attention" means_______.
A. telling the truth to the clerk B. offering advice to the clerk
C. asking the clerk to be more attentive D. reminding the clerk of the charged item
4. How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?
A. We'll be very excited. B. We'll feel unfortunate.
C. We'll have a sense of honor. D. We'll feel sorry for the clerk.
5 Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A. How to Live Truthfully B. Importance of Peacefulness
C. Ways of Gaining Self-respect D. Happiness through Honorable Actions

阅读理解。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。
Should doctors ever lie to benefit their patient—to speed recovery or to cover the coming of death?In medicine as in law,government,and other lines of work,the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed (变矮小)by greater needs:the need to protect form brutal news or to uphold a promise of secrecy;to advance the public interest.
What should doctors say,for example,to a 46yearold man coming in for a routine physical checkup just before going on vacation with his family who,though he feels in perfect health,is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months?Is it best to tell him the truth?If he asks,should the doctors reject that he is ill,or minimize the gravity of the illness?Should they at least hide the truth until after the family vacation?
Doctors face such choices often.At times,they see important reasons to lie for the patient's own sake;in their eyes,such lies sharply form selfserving ones.Studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition,and that informing them risks destroying their hope,so that they may recover more slowly,or deteriorate (恶化)faster,perhaps even commit suicide (自杀).
But other studies show that,contrary to the belief of many physicians;a great majority of patients do want to be told the truth,even about serious illness,and feel cheated when they learn that they have been misled.We are also learning that truthful information,humanely conveyed (传达),helps patients cope with illness:help them tolerate pain better,need less medicine,and even recover faster after surgery.
There is urgent need to debate this issue openly.Not only in medicine,but in other profession as well,practitioners may find themselves repeatedly in difficulty where serious consequences (后果)seem avoidable only through deception(哄骗).Yet the public has every reason to know professional deception,for such practices are peculiarly likely to become deeply rooted,to spread,and to trust.Neither in medicine,nor in law,government,or the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying,“What you don't know can't hurt you.”
1.According to the author's opinion,lies ________.
A.can benefit the patients
B.can help the patients to recovery
C.can do nothing to the patients' illness
D.can not benefit the patients
答案:A 细节理解题。从文章倒数其次段最终几句可得知答案。
2.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.Most of the doctors believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition.
B.The truthful information helps patients to deal with their illness.
C.There is a need to discuss whether to lie to the patients.
D.It is true that“What you don't know can't hurt you.”
答案:D 细节理解题。文章最终,作者认为“What you don't know can't hurt you.”这一说法不对。
3.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.There is an urgent need to debate this issue openly.
B.Neither in medicine,nor in law,government,the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying.“What you don't know can't hurt you.”
C.The public has every reason to be aware of professional deception.
D.We need to discuss this issue in medicine,but not in other professions.
答案:A 主旨归纳题。第一句就是本段的主题句。
4.What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?
A.Deception is beneficial to patients.
B.Whether patients should be told the truth of their illness.
C.Whether patients really want to know the truth of their illness.
D.Who benefits from deception.
答案:B 主旨归纳题。通读全文可知,作者针对医生对病人隐瞒病情这一做法提出质疑:病人应不应当了解真相?了解真相对他们有没有好处?
