[高考拆组训练] 阅读理解组块专练——练速度 (限时:30分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2019·杭州六校高三联考)In the course of our lives, someone with whom we got acquainted by accident often inspires us. Early one morning, I opened the window to find that the sun was splashed everywhere. The sunshine warmed my face, making it comfortable. I started to play my beloved violin. My mind was quite focused, my spirit firm, and my mood entirely free of worry. When I was playing the climax to the piece, a sound from next door got my attention. I was fascinated and had a special idea: “How wonderful if we played together!” I began to play pieces by Beethoven with my neighbor, one piece after another. We played together so well that I was curious about how she or he looked. However, I couldn't figure out why the violinist next door never responded when I knocked on the door. I was extremely disappointed. A year later, I took part in a violin competition. At the event, I made a new friend, whose name was Rita. This girl, who was my age, was deaf and dumb, but she had played the violin for eight years! I saw Rita carefully walk onto the stage. She put the violin between her neck and shoulder and began to perform. “The melody is so familiar!” I said to myself. It was unbelievable that a girl who was deaf and dumb could play such marvelous music. The audience warmly applauded her. What was even harder to believe was that the girl was my neighbor. It was fate that we should meet and become friends. Rita's story made me realize that life is not always sunny or poetic; sometimes there are violent storms and setbacks. However, no matter what you suffer, believe in yourself and strive. You can succeed. 语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者的邻居是位聋哑姑娘,但她却能用小提琴演奏出美妙的乐曲。作者通过这个故事告诉我们:有志者,事竟成。 1.Why was there no response every time the author knocked on his neighbor's door? A.His neighbor had moved away. B.His neighbor meant to decline him. C.His neighbor was hearingchallenged. D.His neighbor was too excited to respond. 解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It was unbelievable that a girl who was deaf and dumb could play such marvelous music.”并结合全文内容可知,作者的邻居就是这位聋哑女孩,她听不到敲门声所以无法回应。故C项正确。 2.What is the message conveyed in the last paragraph? A.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. B.Happiness exists in acceptance. C.A fall in the pit, a gain in your wit. D.Smile to life, and you'll get a smile back. 解析:选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, no matter what you suffer, believe in yourself and strive. You can succeed.”可推知,最后一段主要表达的是“有志者,事竟成”。故A项正确。 3.The author wrote this text mainly to________. A.introduce his neighbor Rita B.value his friendship with Rita C.speak highly of Rita's violin skills D.show the inspiration he got from Rita 解析:选D 写作意图题。根据第一段并结合最后一段内容可知,本文旨在告诉读者作者从邻居——聋哑女孩Rita那里得到的启示。故D项正确。 B Children should start learning Shakespeare at the age of four before they are faced with the difficulty with the language, says a study published recently. Lessons should begin before pupils start secondary school, because many teenagers begin to dislike the plays, says the report. All pupils should also see at least one performance of a Shakespeare's play. The recommendations have been made in a Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) document, contemplating why school children show less and less interest in drama. The RSC has warned that childrenarebeingturnedoffShakespearebecauseofthewaytheyaretaughtinschoolsandalackofopportunitiestoseeplays performedlive. Jacqui O'Hanlon, the head of education at the RSC, said, “We've seen teachers working extremely well in class. There's been a lot of success with 4yearolds. With primary school kids, there isn't a fear factor because they've never heard of him. What we do with children from the age of 8 is to unfold the story piece by piece and show them the key moments of drama.” Shakespeare is compulsory in secondary school. Pupils between the ages of 11 and 14 must study at least one play. An educator who is in charge of England's exams said a review of the primary school courses would be a chance to decide if it should be taught to younger pupils. And as part of the RSC task, more courses will be developed to help teachers lead lessons on plays. Tamsin Greig, the actress, who won an Olivier Award for her performance in Shakespeare's MuchAdoAboutNothing last year, said, “Give children the chance to play with words, ideas and stories, and boredom will have no place.” 语篇解读:本文主要论述了孩子们应该在四岁时就开始接触莎士比亚的戏剧,建议孩子在上初中之前就开始学习莎士比亚的作品。 4.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A.Secondary schools don't offer lessons on Shakespeare. B.Children at the age of four have more abilities to do things. C.Early contact and learning help students better understand Shakespeare's plays. D.Language is a problem for all children in learning Shakespeare and acting well. 解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第一段提到的“小孩子四岁时就应该开始学习莎士比亚的戏剧”以及第二段提到的“学生们在上中学之前就应该开始学习莎士比亚的课程”可知,前两段均在鼓励学生尽早接触莎士比亚的作品,故选C项。 5.What does the underlined part in the fourth paragraph imply? A.Proper guidance is necessary in learning Shakespeare. B.Shakespeare was once children's favorite lesson. C.Shakespeare becomes out of date for children. D.School children always like new things and popular food. 解析:选A 句意理解题。画线部分句意为:孩子们对莎士比亚失去兴趣是因为他们在学校受教育的方式以及缺少机会去看莎士比亚戏剧的现场表演。因此说明“孩子们学习莎士比亚需要学校的指导(guidance)以及观看演出的机会”,A项“适当地引导孩子学习莎士比亚是必要的”符合句意,故选A项。 6.What would be the best title for the passage? A.Teach Children Shakespeare at an Early Age B.A Great Dramatist — Shakespeare C.A Compulsory Lesson in Secondary School D.Teach Children to Read from the Age of Four 解析:选A 标题归纳题。纵观全文,本文主要论述了孩子们应该在四岁时就开始学习莎士比亚的戏剧,虽然在初中时莎士比亚戏剧为必修课,但是建议孩子在上初中之前就开始学习莎士比亚的作品,全文主要提倡“teach children Shakespeare at an early age”,即在早些时候就开始教孩子们学习莎士比亚的作品,故选A项。 C When I was a small boy, I noticed that though many of the adults around me were wealthy and educated, they were not always happy and this sometimes led them to behave in ways, which I, as a child, thought strange. As a result of that, I decided to try to understand what happiness was and how best to achieve it. It was not surprising, then, that I decided to study psychology. On arrival at the university, I was disappointed to find that academic psychologists were trying to understand human behaviour by studying rats in a lab. I felt that there must be other more useful ways of learning how we think and feel. I decided to build my career on trying to discover what made others happy. I started out by studying creative people such as musicians, artists and athletes because they were people who devoted their lives to doing what they wanted to do, rather than things that just brought them financial rewards. Later, I expanded the study by inventing a system called “the experience sampling method”. Ordinary people were asked to keep an electronic pager (传呼机) for a week which gave out a beeping sound eight times a day. Every time it did so, they wrote down where they were, what they were doing, how they felt and how much they were concentrating. This system has now been used on more than 10,000 people, and the answers are consistent: as with creative people, ordinary people are happiest when concentrating hard. I found that the most obvious cause of happiness is intense concentration. This must be the main reason why activities such as music, art, literature, sports and other forms of leisure have survived. In order to concentrate, whether you're reading a poem or building a sandcastle, what you need is a challenge that matches your ability. The way to remain continually happy, therefore, is to keep finding new opportunities to improve your skills. This may mean learning to do your job better or faster, or doing other more difficult jobs. As you grow older, you have to find new challenges which are more appropriate to your age. 7.What led the author to study psychology? A.His determination to become rich. B.His observation of adults.

In the years which followed this invention, many other countries around the world began to do the same.___3__ The next development was in 1000 BC, when China started making bronze and copper shells.It wasn't long before the Chinese made round coins out of metal.___4__ By 500 BC, metal coins had begun to appear in countries like Persia and Greece, and later in the Roman Empire. About 1000 years later, leather was used as money in China, and in 806 AD, the first paper banknotes were produced by the Chinese people.___5__ A.People also began collecting foreign coins as souvenirs. B.However, as economies developed, such exchanges became impractical. C.It was still many years before paper currency appeared in Europe. D.They also used tiny shells as money for buying and selling.
