Ⅳ.阅读理解
(2009年湖北五市联考)
I shall never forget the night,a few years ago,when Marion J.Douglas was a student in one of my adulteducation classes.He told us how tragedy had struck at his home,not once,but twice.The first time he had lost his fiveyearold daughter.He and his wife thought they couldn’t bear that first loss;but,as he said,“Ten months later,God gave us another little girl and she died in five days.”
This double bereavement was almost too much to bear.“I couldn’t take it,” this father told us.“I couldn’t sleep,eat,rest or relax.My nerves were entirely shaken and my confidence gone.”At last he went to doctors;one recommended sleeping pills and another recommended a trip,but neither helped.He said,“My body felt as if it was surrounded in a vice (大钳子),and the jaws of the vice were being drawn tighter and tighter.” The tension of grief (悲伤)—if you have ever been paralyzed (使瘫痪) by sorrow,you know what he meant.
“But thank God,I had one child left—a fouryearold son.He gave me the solution to my problem.One afternoon as I sat around feeling sorry for myself,he asked,‘Daddy,will you build a boat for me?’ I was in no mood to build a boat;in fact,I was in no mood to do anything.But my son is a persistent little fellow!I had to give in.Building that toy boat took me about three hours.By the time it was finished,I realized that those three hours spent building that boat were first hours of mental relaxation and peace that I had had in months!I realized that it is difficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requires planning and thinking.In my case,building the boat had knocked worry out of the ring.So I determined to keep busy.”
“The following night,I made a list of jobs that ought to be done.Scores of items needed to be repaired.Amazingly,I had made a list of 242 items that needed attention.During the last two years I have completed most of them.I am busy so that I have no time for worry.”
No time for worry!That is exactly what Winston Churchill said when he was working eighteen hours a day at the height of the war.When he was asked if he worried about his huge responsibilities,he said,“I am too busy.I have no time for worry.”
1.The underlined word “bereavement” in the second paragraph refers to________.
A.having lost a loved one
B.having lost a valuable article
C.having lost a profitmaking business
D.having lost a wellpaid job
2.Marion felt his body as if it was caught in a vice because________.
A.he couldn’t earn enough money to support his family
B.he was suffering from sleeplessness disease
C.he couldn’t get out of mental pressure
D.he felt tired of adulteducation classes
3.Marion made a list of over 200 items that needed to be repaired because________.
A.he hadn’t been able to spare time to mend them
B.he wanted to kill his free time by repairing them
C.the items had actually been broken and needed attention
D.repairing the items helped crowd worry out of his mind
4.At the end of the passage,the author wrote about Winston Churchill in order to________.
A.prove that he followed Churchill’s example
B.support his student’s solution to his problem
C.show that he was successful in his career
D.clarify how his conclusion was reached
People always think about “the problem of youth”.If there is one—which I take leave to doubt—it is older people who create it,not the young themselves.Let us get down to fundamentals and agree that the young are after all human beings—people just like their elders.There is only one difference between an old man and a young one:the young man has a beautiful future before him while the old man a splendid future behind him and maybe that is where the rub is.
When I was a teenager,I felt that I was just young and unknown—that I was a new boy in a huge school,and I would have been very pleased to be regarded as something so interesting as a problem.For one thing,being a problem gives you a certain identify,and that is one of the things the young are busily engaged in seeking.
I find young people exciting.They have an air of freedom,and they have not a dull promise to mean ambitions or love of comfort.They are not anxious social climbers,and they have no devotion to important things.All this seems to me to link them with life,and the origins of things.It’s as if they were in some sense of cosmic beings in violent and lovely contrast with us suburban (乡村的) creatures.All that is in my mind when I meet a young person.He may be too proud,illmannered,selfconfident or selfsatisfied,but I do not turn for protection to boring clichés about respect for elders as if age were a reason for respect.I accept that we are equals,and I will argue with them,as an equal,if I think he is wrong.
5.“The problem of youth” in Paragraph 1 means the problem________.
A.caused by young people
B.needed to be solved by young people
C.young people meet
D.created by the old for the young
6.The underlined word “rub” is closest in meaning to________.
A.fact B.age
C.future D.difficulty
7.One of the things the young are engaged in is that they want to________.
A.climb up the social ladder B.have freedom
C.be known D.make troubles
8.By saying “anxious social climbers”,the writer refers to________.
A.some mean adults B.ambitious young people
C.capable political leaders D.people who pursue comfort
Ⅰ.语音知识
Ⅱ.情景对话
Ⅲ.单项填空
1.D adjust (oneself) to+ n./pron.,意思是“适应,习惯……”。lead to导致;appeal to呼吁,吸引;tend to倾向于。
2.D 句意为:爷爷能够清晰地记起他在长征中的经历,就好像他刚才经历的一样。句中can remember表示现在的情况,故as if从句中用一般过去时来表示虚拟语气。
3.B out of shape变形的,走样的。in shape处于好的状态,在形状上;in work有工作;out of work失业。根据答语“载重物太重了”,可知上句问“卡车的前轮胎为什么会变形”。
4.D 从句中的时间状语for more than 40 years可知此处应用现在完成时,故排除A项;marry和get married均为非延续性动词,只表示“结婚”那一时的行为,而不表示“结婚”后的状态;而be married表示该状态的持续。
5.C hold out在此处表示“给予希望”;not hold out much hope不抱什么希望。hold back阻挡,隐瞒,控制;hold on坚持,挺住;hold up延迟,阻碍。
6.A “介词+关系代词”引导非限制性定语从句,which指代先行词direction,from which it had come=it had come from the direction。in the direction of朝着……方向。
7.C 该题前后两个分句之间没有任何连词,因此可判断此处不是并列分句或从属分句,而是独立主格结构。其特征:该结构有自己的逻辑主语(her mind)并且和句子的主语(Alice)不一致。从语法功能上看,它相当于原因状语从句。fix one’s mind on意为“把某人的心思放在……上”。mind和fix之间是动宾关系,因此C项正确。如果在逗号后面加上because,那么A项正确。
8.C 首先排除A、B项,因为代词要放在及物动词和副词之间;put down的意思是“放下;写下来;镇压”,与题意不符;put away的意思是“(暂时)收藏起来”。
9.A power意为“力量;能力”。strength意为“体力”;force意为“力,武力”;energy意为“精力,能源”。beyond one’s power意为“超出某人的能力;力所不及的”。句意为:“汤姆,你能帮我解决这个问题吗?”“对不起,那个问题是我力所不及的。”
10.C appeal to意为“对……有吸引力”。stick to意为“坚持”;lead to意为“导致”;refer to意为“涉及,指的是,参考”。句意为“你对这些画感兴趣吗?”“是的,尤其是它们的颜色”。
11.D be associated with sth.意为“和……联系在一起”。be stupefied with意为“因疲劳、厌倦或吃惊等而昏昏沉沉、神志不清”;be laden with意为“(空气中)充溢着(某种味道)的”;be blessed to意为“享有……的福气”。句意为“健康通常被认为与均衡饮食和足够的锻炼联系在一起”。
12.A cheer sb.up意为“使某人高兴/振作起来”。give sb.up意为“放弃某人”;call sb.up意为“给某人打电话;pick sb.up意为“接某人”。句意为“好朋友应该是在你失意时总是鼓励你的人”。
13.B anyhow意为“无论如何;不管怎样”。somehow与someway同义,表示“以某种方式或途径”;somewhat意为“有点,稍微”。句意为“天可能要下雨,但无论如何我要出门。我有重要的事情要做”。
14.D leave out意为“删掉;遗漏”。find out意为“了解(到),找到(信息)”;let out意为“泄露,放宽”;make out意为“辨认出”。句意为“约翰,你不能仔细一点吗?你在计算中漏掉了一些数字”。
15.A extending此处为动词ing形式作伴随状语。句意为“如果将来我有许多钱,我就买一座花园一直延伸到河边的大房子”。
Ⅳ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】 这是一篇记叙文。故事的主人公的家庭接连遭受不幸的打击,两个孩子相继死去,他也走不出悲伤的圈子。一件偶然的事情让他明白,忙碌是疗伤的最好药物,让自己忙碌,就没有时间去悲伤和绝望了。对即将走进高考考场的我们来说,生活又何尝不是如此呢?忙碌使我们没有时间去患得患失,忙碌者是幸福的。
1.A 考查猜测词义。从语境看,画线词指代前面提到的道格拉斯失去5岁的女儿和10个月后刚出世5天的另外一个女儿夭折的痛苦,因此选A,“丧失亲人,丧亲之痛”。
2.C 考查推理判断。第二段说,他难以从这接连的打击中恢复过来,感觉自己的身体被一个大钳子包围着,这钳子夹得越来越紧。从语境判断,其含义是C,他无法摆脱精神压力。
3.D 考查推理判断。第三段说,他给儿子造船的那忙碌的三个小时使他感到心情轻松,于是他列举出需要修理的242件物品。显然这样做的目的是D,希望自己在忙着修理这些东西时能赶走心里的烦恼。
4.B 考查细节理解。作者在阐述“忙碌能使我们忘记烦恼与担忧”时,最后一段以英国首相丘吉尔为例进行说明,二战期间他一天要工作18个小时,“我太忙碌了,没时间担忧”,显然作者引用这个名人的事例是为了证明他的学生——本文故事的主人公的观点:忙碌能使我们忘记烦恼。
【语篇解读】 年轻人往往被认为是问题的制造者,可作者摆事实,讲道理,据理力争,提出了自己独到的观点。
5.A 猜测词义题。第一段第二句提到,作者认为如果真的存在问题,那也是老人制造的问题,而不是年轻人,由此可推测引号中的内容是“年轻人引起的问题”。
6.D 猜测词义题。本句前半部分提到老人与年轻人的唯一区别是年轻人拥有灿烂的未来,而老人拥有辉煌的过去,这是两者的“摩擦”所在。
7.C 推理判断题。根据本段中的“and I would have been very pleased to be regarded as something so interesting as a problem...a certain identify”部分内容可知,年轻人渴望得到别人的认可。
8.A 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句可知作者是在赞扬年轻人,由此可推断这里是在批判“anxious social climbers”,所以引号中的内容是“一些自私的成年人”。
