2021成都市高考英语四月信息匹配类、阅读理解自练（10）答案

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。
A classical guitarist was excited to hear from New York City police that his valuable guitar had been found. It disappeared almost a year ago when he got out of a cab and forgot to take the guitar with him. Laurence Lennon, 44, said he was running late that day. He was talking to his manager on his cell phone when he dashed out of the taxi. He said that he gave the driver $ 60 and told him to keep the change. He walked through the front doors of the concert hall still talking on the phone to his manager.
Upon discovering his loss, Lennon used his cell phone to call the police. The policewoman asked him for the name of the cab company, the number of the cab, and the name of the driver. He said that she had to be kidding.
She told Lennon that he could file a missing items report at the police station or online. Lennon asked for the online address. She told him that finding the guitar might take a couple of years—finding guitars was not as important as finding murderers and marijuana smokers. Then she told him to have a nice day.
“This year has been depressing，” said Lennon. “I had to postpone the recording of two new CDs. I've been using borrowed guitars. And I was losing hope of ever recovering my guitar.”
Lennon was reunited with his $ 100,000 musical instrument yesterday. The case and the guitar had been discovered in the corner of a coffee house only two blocks from where Lennon had lost it in the first place. Lennon had offered a $ 10,000 reward for its return. He said he would give the reward to the coffee house owner, who had informed the police.
1．It can be inferred from this reading passage that________.
A．Lennon gave the driver much more money than what was actually needed
B．Lennon couldn't give any useful information about the driver and his cab
C．Lennon was too busy talking to his friend to remember to pay the cab driver
D．Lennon used to work at the concert hall in New York City
答案：B　推理推断题。依据其次段其次句“The policewoman asked him for the name of the cab company...and the name of the driver. He said that she had to be kidding.”说明他对出租汽车公司和司机的状况一概不知，认为警察这样问他简直是在开玩笑。
2．The policewoman told Lennon________.
A．not to worry about the guitar
B．to have a nice day in New York City
C．to find the cab driver and talk to him
D．to wait with patience
答案：D　推理推断题。依据第三段第三句“...finding the guitar might take a couple of years.”说明警察认为查找这把吉他会很难，或许需要几年时间，因此他得急躁等待。选项A“不要焦急这把吉他”不符合警察的本意和事实；B“祝他在纽约市玩得快活”，原文中这是警察对他的劝慰和祝愿，不是事情的最重要内容；C“去找出租车司机跟他谈一下”这明显不行能，只有D“急躁等待”符合警察的本意。
3．Which of the following is the most important according to the policewoman?
A．Finding a lost guitar. B．Finding the cab driver.
C．Finding murderers. D．Enjoying one's own life
答案：C　细节题。依据第三段“...finding guitars was not as important as finding murderers....”说明在警察看来查找杀人犯比查找吉他(当然和其他任何事相比都)更重要。
4．The underlined word“depressing”can be best explained by“________”．
A．making people feel sad
B．making people unfortunate
C．making people losing money
D．making people losing good luck
答案：A　词义理解题。依据第四段其次句“I had to postpone the recording of two new CDs. I've been using borrowed guitars. And....”可推想出Lennon度过了一年很苦痛的日子，主要是丢掉了心爱的吉他和由于此事给他带来的种种事业中的不顺畅，因此可推想出depressing在这种的意思相当于making people feel sad。

The summer I was ten, my mother decided to bring us to the world of art. My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles(风格). It was almost as bad as being in school. Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool?
First we had to read about ancient Egyptians(古埃及人) and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum. My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny, but I was not interested. Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing. We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly (鬈曲的) hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings. I certainly couldn't see what was so great about art.
On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. In it, a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the mother' s expression how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldn't stop looking at this painting ! I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much.
1. The aim of the mother' s plan was to _________.
A. take them to visit the museum B. introduce them to the world of art
C. ask them to read about artists D. show them different painting styles
2. What was the writer' s experience in the museum before the last visit?
A. She came to feel her mother' s love. B. She liked many paintings.
C. She hardly enjoyed herself. D. She could understand the pictures of fat babies.
3. What made the writer go through a change that summer?
A. One of Mary's paintings. B. A strange way of painting.
C. Artists in the Middle Ages. D. Her mother' s instruction.
4. From the text, we can see _________.
A. the importance of curiosity B. the effect of art
C. the value of learning D. the power of family education
【参考答案】1.B 2.C 3.A 4.B

Do you love traveling? If the answer is yes, then have you ever thought about why? You may maintain that traveling can help you expand your scope of knowledge, especially geographical and historical learning. It will provide more chances for you to enjoy food and try on clothes that you otherwise cannot possibly have. A famous English author Francis Bacon (1561－1626) makes a point when he says that, “Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.”
Evidence of leisure travel can be traced (追溯) as far back as ancient Babylon This year, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council, the 1 billionth tourist will cross an international boundary before the end of this month. That means that one in seven people on the planet traveled this year, something that would not have been possible a few decades ago. Around 20 years ago only the rich could travel.
While the US and France remain the two largest destinations for world travel, experts say much of the explosive growth in tourism has been to countries like Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and the Ivory Coast, which weren't even on the world tourism map a decade ago. The top five destinations in the world, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, are Paris, London, New York, the Mediterranean, Turkey.
Several factors have led to the boom in world travel. The prosperity (富有) of people in Asia is one factor. People in Asian developing countries have lifted their incomes above middleclass levels in the past few years. And a lot of them have used their new wealth to travel. In addition, travel costs have been reduced thanks to the rapid development of transportation, and competition between airlines to give customers the best prices.
