2021高考英语（三月）阅读类课外自练（11）及答案【南宁市】

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。
　Finally, Ientered the university. Because of my careful savings, I did not have to work during the school year. Then,summer came and it was time to work harder than ever. I continued working as a waitress at night, instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons. I even decided to take a class at acommunity（社区）college. This class at the community college saved me $650. It was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the university.
　During my　second and third years of undergraduate schooling, I decided to work about five hours per week in the campus（校内）admissions office answering phones. This provided a little spending money and kept me from drawing my savings out. The overall situation looked hopeful as I approached my senior year as long as I could make as much money as I had the previous summer. I wanted to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks, but I hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me $1,600 more to get the credits in Israel. About two weeks later my Mom called to tell me that I had $1,600 in the bank that I had forgotten about! One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost, but the loss of time to make money; however, I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before. The way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me.
　This experience has shaped me in many important ways. The first thing that Ilearned was the importance of a strong work ethic (伦理). Working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of adollar. It also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations.

阅读理解。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。
About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier，only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps，after all，it is safer to be driven by a woman.
There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red，orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.
Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”．These help us see in a bright day and tell the difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”， but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but no color. Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes(蚊子) like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects，but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day，and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.
1. This passage is mainly about ____
A. color and its surprising effects B. women being luckier than men
C. danger caused by color blindness D. color blindness
2. According to the passage，with the help of the “cones”，we can ________.
A. tell different colors B. see in weak light
C. tell different shapes D. tell orange from yellow
3. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?
A. Women are more careful. B. There are fewer color­blind women.
C. Women are fonder of driving than men. D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.

【要点综述】本文叙述了电视剧中一位年轻人家中的每一面镜子上都贴着 “faith”这个词，这个情节引发了作者的深思。
1．C　依据上文可知，此处表示“一个年轻人正在社区里为自己拉票，人们主要想知道他有什么理由可以让他们支持他
2．A　依据上文“…seeking his community votes…”可知，人们想知道为什么要赐予他支持。
3．B　依据下文提到的the word was pasted on his mirrors可知答案。
4．B　依据下文why the word was pasted on his mirrors可知，此处表示人们提出问题(raise questions)想了解实情。
5．A　本句表示父亲教他人生的道理(teach sb to do sth)。
6．B　依据上下文可知，把faith这个词贴在镜子上是为了每一次照镜子时都能看到它，这说明父亲让他信任信念格外重要，只要活着，就要有信念。have breath表示“活着”。
7．A　破折号后的内容是作者从这一电视剧情节中获得的lesson(阅历，教训)。
8．C　依据下文24 hours a day推断，我们每个人的一天同样(equally)都是24小时。
9．D　依据常识可知，当事情变得困难时(get tough)，更能显出信念的作用。
10．D　本句对比了两种状况：选择经受磨炼，信念就会增加(grow)；选择躲避磨炼，信念就会照旧保持薄弱状态。
11．A　作者认为有些人可能会有不同意见，他们或许会争辩(argue)说，他们没有信念。
12．D　联系上文可知，作者对这些人的驳斥是：我们每天都在践行它，即使我们不承认(acknowledge)那就是信念。
13．C　此空后列举的内容都是我们的日常活动，故用task。
14．B　此空表示信念来自于(come from)你所听和所做的事。
15．C　依据空后内容可知，看了那些报纸后，作者总会心情低落。因此，要树立信念，作者应当是打算以后不再(stop)看那些有负面信息的报纸了。
16．D　联系上下文可知，此处所需词汇应与sad同义，表示“哀痛和负面的消息”。
17．B　读了那样的内容，作者应当“留意到”了自己心情的低落。
18．C　当践行信念时，它会变成奇怪的东西。put…to work表示“践行，使起作用”。
19．B　联系前文可知，信念能把你的精神状态提升到更高的高度，促使你提升自我，并宣称：“是的，我能。”
20．A　依据其次段“If we choose to exercise our faith，it will…”可知此处应选A。
