‎2019届二轮复习阅读理解专题说明文类型模拟试题10篇训练之九 ‎[一]‎ Have you ever received a gift that was so clearly not your taste that you wondered if perhaps it had been handed to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box? Maybe she responded with a polite "Why, thank you," but you knew you had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wrong? And what do your choices (good and bad） reflect about your personal qualities?‎ Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe. It calls for empathy — the ability to put yourself into someone else's head and heart .We're all able to do this; in fact, we're born with a kind of natural empathy. After the earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced (加强）—by our parents, teachers, friends. When it isn't, we're not able to understand other people's feelings as sharply. This can show in the gifts we select, and so can many other emotional (情感的） qualities.‎ Think back to the presents you’ve given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection, how much you spent, your thoughts while you were shopping, and your feelings when the receiver opened the package. Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world. Of course, you may express yourself differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you know.‎ We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication. Ignoring the tradition won't make it go away. If you really dislike such a tradition, tell your friends ahead of time.‎ ‎32. The underlined expression "you had missed the mark" means "you had failed to _____'.‎ A. get the expected effect B. keep your friendship C. receive a present in return D. make her feel better ‎33. Which of the following is the main idea of the second paragraph?‎ A. Natural empathy needs to be reinforced.‎ B. Choosing gifts requires one to understand the receivers.‎ C. Selecting the right gift is an ability people are born with.‎ D. Emotional changes influence one's choice of gifts.‎ ‎34. In the third paragraph, the author tells us that________..‎ A. attention should be paid to the receivers' responses B. one learns from what he did in the past C. the choice of gifts reflects one's emotional qualities D. one should spend more time choosing gifts ‎35. The best possible title for this passage is “_______”.‎ A. Ways of Choosing Gifts B. An Important Tradition C. Exchanging Presents D. Message in a Gift ‎【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. D ‎[二]‎ For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened, and there was nothing special about it. Now we know that getting along with other people is something that we can work at. It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better. One way is being unselfish, not wanting everything from our friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad ones in other people. It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be.‎ You don’t have to be spineless (软弱的) in order to be popular. In fact, you will be liked and respected if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights. But do it politely and pleasantly. Being friendly and polite to your group, to other people and to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character.‎ You can not expect to be perfect, and so you must learn not to be unhappy ‎ when you make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed (责备) unless he refuses to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged when they know in themselves qualities (品格) that they do not like—selfishness, laziness, and other unpleasant qualities. Just remember that we all have some of these faults and have to fight against them.‎ At the same time, it is important to remember that, while you are probably no worse than others, the best way to be happy is to think yourself above other people. When something is wrong, it is good sense to try to make it right. Perhaps you don’t like a teacher or a classmate. Try to see why, and look at yourself, too. To be sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike you. Some day, things may turn out all right, then you will have to learn to get along the best with situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you can’t change.‎ ‎28. One of the two ways the author suggested for us to get along with others is ________.‎ A. to draw attention of our friends B. to demand the best share of everything C. to look for treasure in order to be successful D. to pay more attention to other people’s strong points ‎29. According to the passage, if one wants to be popular one needs to _________.‎ A. be polite and friendly B. give up some rights C. avoid arguing with other people D. be ready to change his or her character ‎30. The passage shows that there is no perfect person but someone should be blamed if he _________.‎ A. is no better than others B. is selfish and lazy C. does not draw a lesson from his own fault D. is very happy about his unpleasant quality ‎31. The passage implies(暗示) that in order to be a happy person, one should consider oneself __________.‎ A. no better than others B. not the same as others C. as having something better than others D. as having better chances than others ‎【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. C ‎[三]‎ Singapore's public transport system is one of the best in the world, so you should have no problem finding your way around like a local.

Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slowdown and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.‎ In many parts of the world, people take naps in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work ‎ difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.‎ ‎59. Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?‎ A. Because you eat too much for lunch.‎ B. Because it’s hot in summer.[来源:学科网ZXXK]‎ C. Because your body temperature goes down at that time.‎ D. Because you didn’t have a good sleep last night.‎ ‎60. What can we learn about “naps” according to the last paragraph?‎ A. All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day.‎ B. Doctors need to take naps while employers don’t.‎ C. If you take naps every day, you’ll never suffer from heart disease.‎ D. Taking naps regularly is good to people’s health.‎ ‎61. If you get up at 6:30 am, what is the best time for you to take a nap?‎ A. About 12:30 pm. B. About 1:30 pm.‎ C. About 2:30 pm D. About 3:30 pm  ‎ ‎62. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. All for a Nap B. Just for a Rest C. A Special Sleep Pattern D. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate 参考答案：59-62 CDCA ‎[五]‎ In Europe, there is no escape for those who do not appreciate art and architecture(建筑). It is a heaven for people who want to feel like they have been transported to famous historical time periods from America. For me, Europe was a complete contrast from America. London and France had a more royal feel than New York, and Rome felt more ancient. I wasn’t just on a different continent; it felt like I was in a different century.‎ My parents and I visited London, Paris and Rome this summer in celebration of the end of my high school experience. It was supposed to be a break from a life as busy as a bee in New York, the constant stress, the crowded subway rides, and the weary body that had accompanied me for the last four years. It was an opportunity to appreciate Europe the way I couldn’t do it just by reading history books.‎ My favorite parts of London were the Tower of London and the Churchill War Rooms. As a site of past executions(刑场), the Tower of London displayed punishing devices from the 16th and 17th century and told stories of various members of the royal family who had ever been imprisoned in the tower, some even imprisoned by their own family members when they were seen as a threat to the crown. Besides that, I also got to see the royal family’s crown jewels, amazingly beautiful.‎ The Churchchill War Rooms, though very different from the Tower of London, were also spellbinding from a historic perspective. I am not a history fan, but I enjoy museums, and I took fancy in the Churchchill Museum inside the War Rooms that detailed the events of Churchchill’s life and World War II. Everything I saw in it built up his life from his childhood to his last years, creating a three-dimensional Churchchill in my mind who was a person just like myself. He longed for more, he made mistakes, he experienced loneliness and sadness. But he had also done some remarkable things like uniting Britain during World War II.‎ Our rewarding trip ended in Rome a couple of days later.‎ ‎24. What does the underlined word “contrast” in Paragraph1 mean?‎ A. Something different. B. Something artistic.‎ C. Something similar. D. Something faraway.‎ ‎25. Which of the following can best describe the writer’s life in New York?‎ A. Relaxing and peaceful. B. Stressful and tiring.‎ C. Joyful but busy. D. Boring but successful.‎ ‎26. What can be learned from Para 3?‎ A. The Tower of London is a symbol of peace. ‎ B. The royal family members used to live in harmony.‎ C. The Tower of London witnessed changes of royal families.‎ D. Visitors could buy the crown jewels in Churchill War Rooms.‎ ‎27. What really got the writer spellbound in the Churchill Museum?‎ A. The unique architecture. B. World War Two.‎ C. Churchill’s achievements. D. Churchill’s real life.‎ ‎ 参考答案：24-27 ABCD ‎[六]‎ The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists. Descriptions like ‘ Palaeolithic Man’, ‘Neolithic Man’, etc., neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surely choose the label ‘Legless Man’. Histories of the time will go something like this: ‘in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts and escalators in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. This situation was forced upon earth dwellers of that time because of miles each day. But the surprising thing is that they didn’t use their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of every huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were marred by the presence of large car parks. ’‎ ‎ The future history books might also record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world – or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train a blurred image of the countryside constantly smears the windows. Car drivers, in particular, are forever obsessed with the urge to go on and on: they never want to stop. Is it the lure of the great motorways, or what? And as for sea travel, it hardly deserves mention. It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song: ‘I joined the navy to see the world, and what did I see? I saw ‎ the sea.’ The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says ‘I’ve been there. ’ You mention the remotest, most evocative place-names in the world like El Dorado, Kabul, Irkutsk and someone is bound to say ‘I’ve been there’ – meaning, ‘I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else. ’‎ ‎ When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you suspend all experience; the present ceases to be a reality: you might just as well be dead. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical weariness. He knows that sound. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travellers. ‎ ‎1、Anthorpologists label nowaday’s men ‘Legless’ because A people forget how to use his legs.‎ B people prefer cars, buses and trains.‎ C lifts and escalators prevent people from walking.‎ D there are a lot of transportation devices.‎ ‎2、Travelling at high speed means A people’s focus on the future.‎ B a pleasure.‎ C satisfying drivers’ great thrill.‎ D a necessity of life.‎ ‎3、Why does the author say ‘we are deprived of the use of our eyes’ ?‎ A People won’t use their eyes.‎ B In traveling at high speed, eyes become useless.‎ C People can’t see anything on his way of travel.‎ D People want to sleep during travelling.‎ ‎4、What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?‎ A Legs become weaker.‎ B Modern means of transportation make the world a small place.‎ C There is no need to use eyes.‎ D The best way to travel is on foot.‎ ‎5. What does ‘a bird’s-eye view’ mean?‎ A See view with bird’s eyes.‎ B A bird looks at a beautiful view.‎ C It is a general view from a high position looking down.‎ D A scenic place.‎ 参考答案：‎ ‎1.A 人们忘了用脚。答案在第一段：人类学家把以往年代的人们分别标上旧石器时代、新石器时代人，等等。干脆利落地总结了一个时期。当他们转向20世纪，他们肯定会标上“无脚的人”。因为在20世纪，人们忘了如何用脚走路。男人女人早年外出就坐车、公共汽车、火车。大楼里由电梯、自动扶梯，不需要人们走路。即使度假期间，他们也不用脚。他们筑有缆车道、滑雪载车和路直通山顶。所有的风景旅游区都有大型的汽车停车场。‎ B 人们喜欢汽车、公交车、火车等。 C 电梯、自动扶梯制止人们走路。 D 有许多交通运输工具。‎ ‎2.A 人们的注意力在未来。见最后一段第一句话：当你高速旅行，现在等于零，你主要生活在未来，因为你大部分时间盯在前面到达的某个地方。真到了，又没有意义了，你还要再向前进。‎ B 是一种欢乐。 C 满足司机强烈的渴望。第二段中提及死机醉心于开车、不停车但不是快速前进着眼于未来。 D ‎ 生活的需要。这一条在第一段中提及这种情况是因为他们那异常的生活方法强加给时代的居民。这是指不用脚走路，而用一切代步器――交通运输工具，不是开快车。‎ ‎3.C 人们在旅行途中什么都见不到。答案在第二段，由一地转向另一地，路上你什么都没有见到。乘飞机你只能俯视世界，火车，汽车，只见外界朦胧景象掠过窗子。海上旅游，只见到海。“我到过那里”此话含义就是“我以一小时一百英里在去某某地方时经过那里”。正因为如此，作者指出将来的历史书上会记录下：我们被剥夺了眼睛的应用。‎ A 人们不愿用眼睛。 B 在高速旅行中，眼睛没有用了。 D 旅行中，人们想睡觉。‎ ‎4.D 旅行的最佳方式是走路。文章第一段、第二段分别讲述了旅行可不用脚、不用眼等情况。第三段，在讲述了人们只知向前向前，一切经历都停滞，现实不再是现实，还不如死的好。而用脚走路的旅行者总是生活再现实，对他来说旅行和到达是一回事，他一步一步走到某地，他用眼睛、耳朵，以至整个身体去体验现在时刻、旅行终点，他感到全身舒坦愉悦的疲劳，美美享受满足的酣睡；一切真正旅行者的真实报偿。这一段就是作者写文章的目的――走路是旅行的最佳方式。‎ A 脚变得软弱无力。 B 现代交通工具把世界变小。 C 没有必要用眼睛。‎ ‎5.C 从高出向下看的景致：俯视。‎ A 用鸟的眼睛看景点。 B 鸟在看美景。 D 风景点。‎ ‎[七]‎ When you think of the tremendous technological progress we have made, it’s amazing how little we have developed in other respects. We may speak contemptuously of the poor old Romans because they relished the orgies of slaughter that went on in their arenas. We may despise them because they mistook these goings on for entertainment. We may forgive them condescendingly because they lived 2000 years ago and obviously knew no better. But are our feelings of superiority really justified? Are we any less blood-thirsty? Why do boxing matches, for instance, attract such universal interest? Don’t the spectators who attend them hope they will see some violence? Human beings remains as bloodthirsty as ever they were. ‎ The only difference between ourselves and the Romans is that while they were honest enough to admit that they enjoyed watching hungey lions tearing people apart and eating them alive, we find all sorts of sophisticated arguments to defend sports which should have been banned long age; sports which are quite as barbarous as, say, public hangings or bearbaiting.‎ It really is incredible that in this day and age we should still allow hunting or bull-fighting, that we should be prepared to sit back and watch two men batter each other to pulp in a boxing ring, that we should be relatively unmoved by the sight of one or a number of racing cars crashing and bursting into flames. Let us not deceive ourselves. Any talk of ‘the sporting spirit’ is sheer hypocrisy. People take part in violent sports because of the high rewards they bring. Spectators are willing to pay vast sums of money to see violence. A world heavyweight championship match, for instance, is front page news. Millions of people are disappointed if a big fight is over in two rounds instead of fifteen. They feel disappointment because they have been deprived of the exquisite pleasure of witnessing prolonged torture and violence.‎ Why should we ban violent sports if people enjoy them so much? You may well ask. The answer is simple: they are uncivilized. For centuries man has been trying to improve himself spiritually and emotionally – admittedly with little success. But at least we no longer tolerate the sight madmen cooped up in cages, or public floggings of any of the countless other barbaric practices which were common in the past. Prisons are no longer the grim forbidding places they used to be. Social welfare systems are in operation in many parts of the world. Big efforts are being made to distribute wealth fairly. These changes have come about not because human beings have suddenly and unaccountably improved, but because positive steps were taken to change the law. The law is the biggest ‎ instrument of social change that we have and it may exert great civilizing influence. If we banned dangerous and violent sports, we would be moving one step further to improving mankind. We would recognize that violence is degrading and unworthy of human beings.‎ ‎1.It can be inferred from the passage that the author’s opinion of nowadays’ human beings is ‎ A. not very high. B. high. C. contemptuous. D. critical.‎ ‎2.The main idea of this passage is ‎ A. vicious and dangerous sports should be banned by law.‎ B. people are willing to pay vast sums money to see violence.‎ C. to compare two different attitudes towards dangerous sports.‎ D. people are bloodthirsty in sports.‎ ‎3.That the author mentions the old Romans is A. To compare the old Romans with today’s people.‎ B. to give an example.‎ C. to show human beings in the past know nothing better.‎ D. to indicate human beings are used to bloodthirsty.‎ ‎4.How many dangerous sports does the author mention in this passage?‎ A. Three. B. Five.C. Six. D. Seven.‎ ‎5.The purpose of the author in writing this passage is A. that, by banning the violent sports, we human beings can improve our selves.‎ B. that, by banning the dangerous sports, we can improve the law.‎ C. that we must take positive steps to improve social welfare system.‎ D. to show law is the main instrument of social change.‎ 参考答案：‎ ‎1.A. ‎ 不太高。文章一开始就点出科技巨大进步，而其他方面进展很少。人们以轻蔑的口气谈及可怜的古罗马人，因为他们欣赏竞技场上的屠杀。我们轻视他们，因为他们把这些屠杀视为娱乐。所以选A项。‎ ‎2.A. 法律应禁止堕落而又危险的体育项目。见第一题注释。作者从古罗马人欣赏残忍的体育项目说起，点出现代人也是嗜血成性，喜欢暴力体育项目。这是不文明，是堕落。必须制止，而法律是我们社会改革最强大的工具，它可应用，发挥强大的文明影响（第三段倒数第三句）B. 人们愿意支付巨大款项来观看暴力。这是作者说明“嗜血成性”的具体内容之一。C. 对比对危险体育项目不同的态度。这里没有对比。D.人类嗜血成性。这是作者认为人们为什么欣赏危险残忍体育项目的根源。‎ ‎3.D. 人们在体育上习惯于“嗜血成性”，过去是，现在仍然是，不同点只是前者坦直承认，后者婉转掩饰。见第一题注释。A. 把古罗马人和现代人对比。这项没有说明对比什么。B. 给出一个例子。太抽象。C. 说明过去人类不太知道更美好的东西，这两项都没有到位。‎ ‎4.B. 5个。作者提到⑴逗熊游戏；⑵斗牛；⑶车赛；⑷拳击；⑸人狮斗。至于当众鞭挞和绞刑不能称作体育活动。‎ ‎5.A. 通过制止野蛮体育项目，我们能改善人类自身。这在第三段讲的最透彻，见第一题和第二题注释。B. 通过制止野蛮体育活动，我们能改善法律，不完全对。作者明确指出要用法律来禁止野蛮体育项目。C. 我们必须采取积极步骤来改善社会福利体制。D. 去表明法律是社会变革的主要工具。‎ ‎[八]‎ More than 23% of Chinese children from 3 to 6 years old spend more than half an hour on the Internet every day, according to a report issued on children’s cyber(网络的)safety. According to the report, these preschoolers are similar to adults in terms of their online habits, enjoying online entertainment, shopping and blogging. Almost a quarter of the 7 year olds, or 24.2%, have studied game walkthroughs on the Internet. Sixty-one percent of them, have downloaded games, videos, and music, and 8.5% have done shopping online. In addition, 14.4% of this group posted pictures, videos, or texts online, and 4.7% of them have followers. Children are also using social media at a younger age. Some of them begin to use instant messengers such as QQ and WeChat from 3 years old, and the penetration（侵入） rate of these apps is more than 50% among 12 year olds.‎ Easy and broad access to the Internet is the major reason for the large penetration rate among the children. According to education experts,‎ ‎ children learn by imitation（模仿）. As a result, children will copy their parents’ online behaviors including TV-viewing, chatting, shopping, and video game habits.‎ This can’t be avoided during human development, and there's no need to fight it. But parents should guide their children with scientific methods and reduce the negative effect of the Internet on their children.-.‎ 28.

A healthy diet is made up of water and a great many different kinds of foods. We know that healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and fish, are important as they provide us with energy and fiber, without giving us too much fat and sugar. But why is water important?‎ The human body needs water to survive. Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies. However, doctors advise us to drink plenty of water, much more than the small amount we need to stay alive.‎ Some doctors believe that water is important for our health in all kinds of ways. They believe that a great many illnesses and health problems start as a result of dehydration(脱水)—a lack of water in the body. Most people are dehydrated at least some of time, although they probably don’t know it. It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty, we are already in the first stage of dehydration. In fact, we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty.‎ These doctors think that health problems such as headaches, high blood pressure and asthma(哮喘) could be helped if people drink more water. They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are overweight. Water contains no calories so it will not make us put on weight. If we drink water, we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks such as Coca-cola. Doctors also believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating. They say that many people think that they are hungry when they are, in fact, thirsty. Doctors suggest, therefore, that we eat less food and drink more water. There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water, so we should not stop going to seeing the doctor completely. However, if we make a decision to drink water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often.‎ ‎55. From the text, we know water can carry_________.‎ A. poisons and waste out of our bodies B. fruit, vegetables and fish in our bodies C. sugar and fat out of our bodies D. energy and fiber in our bodies ‎56.
