黑龙江依安县2016高考英语二轮阅读理解练习（2）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。Tang poetry is so excellent and of such a large sum that it is a precious cultural heritage of Chinese civilization in ancient time.It appeals so many people all over the world that more and more Tang poems have been translated into other languages，mostly into English.Nevertheless，since the translatability of poetry has been the most controversial(引起争论的)issue in the translation circle，whether a Tang poem is translatable or not is now still in debate.An American poet Robert Frost ever said，“Poetry is what gets lost in translation.”In this sense，something in Tang poetry will get lost after being translated into English.Here comes the untranslatability(不可翻译)of Tang poems in English translation.Tang poetry is the harmonious unity of beautiful sound，wellbalanced form and implicit sense so that it is very difficult to translate them into other languages satisfactorily.English is intonation(语调)language while Chinese is tone language so that they are dissimilar in sound；English spelling words are alphabetic writing while Chinese square characters are ideographic(表意文字)so that they are dissimilar in form；English was born and develops in western cultural background while Chinese in oriental so that they are dissimilar in sense.Based on the differences above，a conclusion is made naturally in the article that in the process of translating Tang poems into English，there is some untranslatability，namely，sound untranslatability，form untranslatability and sense untranslatability. In fact，the study on the untranslatability of Tang poetry still has a great room for development，as it remains an unsolved problem.In this case，however，talking about the untranslatability of Tang poems in English translation is not against the translation work of Tang poems but for the better translations of them.1By the passage we can know that_.ATang poetry is a kind of new culture existing in ChinaB. Tang poetry is part of precious cultural heritage of Chinese civilizationCTang poetry cant be translated into EnglishDTang poetry can only be accepted by people from China 答案：B根据文章第一段第一句话.it is a

translations of them.可知，作者的态度是赞成的。 写人记事（阅读理解）由 (2011山东烟台高三调研)改编Jeffrey Bezos,the founder,president and chairman of the board of A,was born in Albuquerque,New Mexico.His mothers ancestors were early

(A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。(2013辽宁，D)“Indeed，” George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, “some kind of fly, or bug, had begun to eat the leaves before I left home.” But the father of America was not the father of bug. When Washington wrote that, Englishmen had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century, and Americans had already created lightningbug(萤火虫). But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in nineteenth and twentieth centuries.The American bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity. Although fan became the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing bugs, baseball bugs, and the like.Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bugshaped car. The bug could also be a burglar alarm, from which comes the expression to bug, that is, “to install (安装) an alarm”. Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others conversations. Since the 1840s, to bug has long meant “to cheat”， and since the 1940s it has been annoying.We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design. That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison. In 1878 he explained bugs as “little problems and difficulties” that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful product. In 1889 it was recorded that Edison “had been up the two previous nights discovering a bug in his invented record player.”文章大意：本文主要说的是“bug”一词的起源，不同含义和发展。9We learn from Paragraph 1 that _.AAmericans had difficulty in learning to use the word bugBGeorge Washington was the first person to call an insect a bugCthe word bug was still popularly used in England in the nineteenth centuryDboth Englishmen and Americans used the word bug in the eighteenth century答案：D推理判断题。从第一段的George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785和But the father of America was not the father of bug.

But today she would certainly have had a very different life, as would her characters. Heres my own suggestion.It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism.“My dear husband，” said his hopeful wife one day, “have you heard that the local store, standing empty for so long, is taken over by a bright young businesswoman？”Her dull and indifferent (漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not.“But it is, it is，” she replied excitedly.Mr DullHusband made no reply.“Dont you want to know her plans？” she cried with some impatience.“Well, clearly you think it matters to your silly little head. . so Id better listen.”“Well, my dear, the rumour (传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England, though_how_a_woman_can_know_anything_about_that_is_beyond_me. She will move in herself next month.”“What is her name？”“Bingley.”“Is she married or single？”“What a question! And none of your business. But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys.”“How so? How can it possibly affect them？”“My dear love; those lazy boys need something to wake them up. There are bound to be jobs going.”“Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place.”“Nonsense, my love, how little youve noticed the world has changed. Shes got a firstrate degree and some sort of business qualification, Im told. She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call.”“Me? No. Perhaps you can take an interest. You still have your looks, after all. She may even offer you a job.”“Oh, thats not likely. These new chances belong to the younger generation. But now you mention it, I think Ill go along all the same.”And Mrs Bennet went along. That was 10 years ago. She is now managing director of a FTSElisted company. . It would remain the case, of course, that Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board, that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues, her bonus of a more “female” dimension and her lifespan (年限) among the citys business leaders shorter than theirs. Still, shed no doubt have enjoyed Davosand might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with influential figures.文章大意：奥斯汀作品傲慢与偏见中明显地体现了对于女性性别的歧视，时至今天，性别歧视仍然存在。12Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AAusten was born 200 years ago.BAusten rewrote Pride and Prejudice.CAustens success lies in her wisdom.DAustens updated work gains popularity.答案：C细节题。由第一段Austens popularity is rooted in her intelligence可知选C。13The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs Bennet _.Ahad mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about BingleyBfelt kind of worried and doubtful about BingleyCwas extremely anxious to meet BingleyDhad a great curiosity about Bingley答案：A推断题。句意为：尽管妇女懂得经商的方法并能够把生意做大远远超出我的想像。可知Mrs Bennet拥有的应该是敬佩与吃惊的复杂心情。14In the eyes of Mrs Bennet, Bingley surely needed one of their boys to _.Aget married toBwork for herChelp her move inDtake over her store答案：B细节题。由There are bound to be jobs going.以及She surely needs one of our boys！可知答案选B。15What does the writer intend to tell us?AWomen with brains can also be as successful as men.BWomen have to pay a high price for success.CA judgment must be made free from prejudice.DSex discrimination still exists nowadays.答案：D细节题。由文章最后一段可知答案。- 9 -
