（英语）高考英语快速阅读套题答案

一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类

1．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Friends always ask why I, a middle-aged woman with no athletic talent, travel to perilous places—the jungles of Thailand or Borneo, for example, where the water is often unsafe and the food risky; places with infectious diseases, poisonous snakes and the wildest animals; some places where the locals are just a few generations past headhunting.

I never know how to answer. My travel decisions assumed a new gravity nine years ago after I suffered a stroke. To prevent another stroke, my doctors told me, I'd have to take dangerously high levels of blood thinner (血液稀释剂) for the rest of my life and any travel would be risky.

I had to think about what was important to me: family, of course, and friends. But then what? No matter how many times I thought about it, no bucket list was complete without travel. Then I had to decide how I might manage the risk. I had to decide how lucky I felt.

My return to travel after my stroke came in baby steps. The first real test of my travel courage came nine months after my stroke when I joined my husband, Jack, on a business trip to China. After we'd toured the remains of a Tang dynasty temple on a high mountain, Jack wanted to ride down on a toboggan (长雪橇).

Before the stroke it would've seemed like fun. But now? I hesitated. My mental klaxon (高音喇叭) screamed warnings about the consequences of a cut, a fall, and a crash. Then, gaining confidence from who knows where, I lowered myself carefully into the toboggan, which marked my adventure travel comeback.

In the years since then, I've traveled about twenty-five percent of the time. Through it all, my lucks held out—no deadly falls, no car accidents or serious infections. For me, adventure travel is a risk worth taking. Travel broadens my world and keeps me connected to nature. What's more, saying "yes" to travel keeps me connected to myself.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了去中国的一次旅行。

（1）考查词义猜测。根据第一段中的“the jungles of Thailand or Borneo, for example, where the water is often unsafe and the food risky; places with infectious diseases, poisonous snakes and the wildest animals; some places where the locals are just a few generations past headhunting.“例如，泰国或婆罗洲的丛林，那里的水往往不安全，食物也很危险；有传染病、毒蛇和野生动物的场所；有些地方的本地人刚刚过了猎头的时代。”可推知划线词的意思是“危险的”。故选B。

（2）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“To prevent another stroke, my doctors told me, I'd have to take dangerously high levels of blood thinner (血液稀释剂) for the rest of my life and any travel would be r isky.”我的医生告诉我，为了防止再次中风，我的余生都必须服用高剂量的危险血液稀释剂，任何旅行都是有风险的。”可知，医生建议作者远离旅行。故选C。（3）考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“The first real test of my travel courage came nine months after my stroke when I joined my husband, Jack, on a business trip to China.”中风九个月后，我和丈夫杰克一起去中国出差，这是对我旅行勇气的第一次真正考验。”可知，作者之所以提到她的中国之行是因为她通过这件事恢复了勇气。故选B。

（4）考查主旨大意。根据最后一段中的“For me, adventure travel is a risk worth taking. Travel broadens my world and keeps me connected to nature. What's more, saying "yes" to travel keeps me connected to myself.”对我来说，冒险旅行是值得冒险的。旅行开阔了我的世界，使我与大自然保持联系。更重要的是，对旅行说“是”让我和自己保持联系。”可知，本文讲述的是去中国的一次旅行。故选C。

【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断，词义猜测和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，要求考生根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

2．阅读理解

I was having a great morning until I sat down in front of my office computer. "Your password has expired(过期)," a server message flashed on my screen, with instructions for changing it. Coming up with a new code doesn't seem like a big deal, unless you work at my company, where we have to change it monthly, using at least one uppercase character, one lowercase character, one symbol, and one numeral. Oh, and the whole darn thing can't be fewer than eight characters. And I can't use any of the same passwords I've used in the past three months.

Suddenly I was furious. What didn't make it any better was that I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce. Disbelief over what she had done to me was all I thought about. Every day.

My anger didn't mean anything to the empty input field with a pulsating cursor (闪动的光标), waiting for me to type a password that I'd have to re-enter — many times — for the next 30 days.

I remembered a tip I'd heard from my former boss. He'd said, "I'm going to use a password to change my life."

I couldn't focus on getting things done in my current mood. There were clear indicators of what

I needed to do to regain control of my life, but I couldn't notice them.

My password became the indicator. My password reminded me that I shouldn't let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it.

I made my password Forgive@h3r.

I had to type this statement several times a day. Each time my computer would lock. Each time my screen saver with her photo would appear. Each time I would come back from eating lunch alone. In my mind, I wrote Forgive her every day.

The simple action changed the way I looked at my ex-wife. That constant reminder of reconciliation led me to accept the way things had happened at the end of my marriage and embrace a new way of dealing with my depression. As the month wore on, I felt a slow healing begin to take place. By the time my server prompted me to reset my password the following month, I felt free.

One month later, my dear Exchange server asked me yet again to reset my password. I thought about the next thing that I had to get done.

My password became Quit@smoking4ever.

I quit smoking overnight. This password was a painful one to type during that month, but doing

it helped me to yell at myself in my mind as I typed that statement. It motivated me to follow my monthly goal.

One month later, my password became Save4trip@thailand.

Guess where I went three months later: Thailand.

Seeing how these reminders helped to materialize my goals kept me motivated and excited. While it's sometimes difficult to come up with your next goal, keeping at it brings great results.

Here is a simplified extract of what some of my passwords have been in the past two years, so you get an idea of how my life has changed, thanks to this method:

Forgive@h3r To my ex-wife, who started it all.

Quit@smoking4ever it worked.

Save4trip@thailand it worked.

Eat2times@day it never worked, still fat.

Sleep@before12 it worked.

Ask@her4date it worked. I fell in love again.

No@drinking2months it worked. I feel better.

Get@c4t! It worked. I have a beautiful cat.

MovE@togeth3r it worked.

Facetime2mom@sunday it worked. I talk with Mom every week.

And the one for last month: Save4@ring Yep. Life is gonna change again soon.

（1）The underlined word "furious" in the third paragraph is closest in the meaning to ______.

A. depressed

B. doubtful

C. nervous

D. angry

（2）Why did he decide to use "Forgive@h3r"as his password?

A. Because he decided to forgive his wife.

B. Because he hoped his wife would forgive him.

C. Because he hoped it would remind him to be strong.

D. Because his former boss told him to use it to change his life.

（3）What can we learn from the password "Save4@ring"for last month?

A. He will call his mother every week.

B. He will soon ask his girl friend to marry him.

C. His password will help him save money.

D. He will be reminded to save his password.

（4）What might be the best title for the passage?

A. How a Password Changed My Life.

B. Why I Changed My Password.

C. How a Slow Healing Took Place.

D. How I Followed My Monthly Goal.

【答案】（1）D

（2）C

（3）B

（4）A

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者公司电脑每个月都要换一次密码，这让作者很生气，特别是作者刚刚离婚，心情沮丧，但是前老板的话让作者意识到可以用设置密码提醒自己去达成一些目标，这样做效果真地很好。

（1）考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的“What didn't make it any better was that I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce. ”更糟糕的是，在我最近离婚后，我感到非常沮丧。画线的不可能是沮丧，I was deeply depressed这里提到的是沮丧。根据第四段中的“My anger di dn't mean anything to the empty input field with a pulsating cursor”这里指的是生气。故选D。

（2）考查细节理解。根据第六段中的“My password became the indicator. My password reminded me that I shouldn't let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do so mething about it. ”我的密码成了指示符。我的密码提醒我，我不应该让自己成为最近分手的受害者，我足够坚强，可以为此做些什么。用这个密码因为他希望它能提醒他要坚强。故选C。

（3）考查推理判断。根据最后一段“And the one for last month: Save4@ring Yep. Life is gonna change again soon.”生活很快又要改变了。根据选项A. 他每周都会给他妈妈打电话；选项B 他很快就会向他的女朋友求婚。选项C他的密码能帮他省钱。这件事不可能发生的；选项D他会被提醒保存密码。根据推理可知只有选项B是生活有了改变。故选B。

（4）考查主旨大意。根据第六段“My password became the indicator. My password reminded me that I shouldn't let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it.”及第十六段“Here is a simplifie d extract of what some of my passwords have been in the past two years, so you get an idea of how my life has changed, thanks to this method.”通读全文可知,文章主要讲述的是作者借鉴了前任老板的忠告,利用新设置的一个密码帮助自己走出了离婚的阴霾,故A项作文章标题最佳。故选A。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测，推理判断和主旨大意四个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行

分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

3．阅读理解

Open water swimming

I had only swum in open water a few times, and always in gentle lakes, so I wasn't prepared for how rough Lake Windermere appeared on a cold day. A swimmer told me the water felt colder than it had been measured, and that the water was a bit rough. But I, along with 10,000 others, was about to complete the challenge.

Most of the people taking part were doing a one-mile race, and 10 races were planned over the weekend. There seemed to be a mix of open-water enthusiasts alongside complete beginners—which is precisely the aim of the swims, to get as many people as possible completing their own challenge. The oldest woman competing was 77, taking part in the two-mile race, alongside a man who last year had swum in every one-mile race.

I had chosen the third one-mile race of the day. There were over 600 people in my race. We were taken through an acclimatization area a children's paddling pool-sized part of the lake where we moved in to feel how cold the water was. "Not too bad" was everyone's thought! Then we headed out towards the middle of the lake.

We'd been warned that the first 100 metres would be really rough. However, somewhere near the 750m mark I was still waiting for the calm; it felt more like swimming in the sea than a lake. I tried to focus on my breathing and technique, and just keep going. As I approached the 400m-to-go mark my lower right leg became painful. I recalled overhearing people talking about how they kept swimming through the pain, so I tried. But it didn't work. I began to feel the entire leg tight and painful. I didn't want to stop, so I bent my right knee and just kicked with the left leg.

Finally I saw the finishing post, and I just concentrated on getting there—still one-legged. My finishing time was 38 minutes 25 seconds but that didn't matter—the atmosphere was fantastic and everyone felt a sense of achievement, whatever their time. I'm hooked, and want to give it another go. I've already signed up for my next open-water swim.

（1）How did the author feel before the race?

A. Scared of the most challenging race.

B. Disappointed by the difficult conditions.

C. Concerned about the other swimmers in the race.

D. Determined to be as tough as the people around her.

（2）Why does the author mention the two people in Paragraph 2?

A. To stress the importance of the race.

B. To praise the experienced swimmers.

C. To show the wide range of the participants.

D. To introduce the various events of the race.

（3）The author suggests in Paragraph 4 that ______.

A. the race would cause breathing problems

B. the race became harder than she had expected

C. it was really necessary to prepare for tough swims

D. it would have been easier if she had taken others' advice

（4）What does the author talk about in the last paragraph?

A. Her confidence in her own ability.

B. Her pride in having swum so quickly.

C. Her eagerness to repeat the experience.

D. Her surprise at having managed to finish.

【答案】（1）D

（2）C

（3）B

（4）C

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了参加一英里的天然水域游泳的经历，最终成功到达终点线。

4．阅读理解

Nine years ago, a few days before Christmas, I was a director at a company in San Francisco, and I was called into a meeting that was already in progress. That meeting turned out to be my exit interview. I was 64 years old at the time. It wasn't completely unexpected. I signed a pile of papers and left the company.

So, 40 plus years of employment was over. I had a good reputation and background. Retirement was not a choice for me. I wanted to do something. And then an idea came into my mind, born from my concern for our environment. I wanted to build my own business, designing and producing biodegradable(可生物降解的)packaging from waste. This is called clean

technology, and it was really meaningful to me. It could help reduce billions of pounds of single-use plastic packaging wasted each year.

Five years later, I'm delighted and proud to share with you that our income has doubled every year and we have no debt. Meanwhile, I have a wonderful partner, and we've won more than 20 awards for the work that we've done.

And I am doing the most rewarding and meaningful work of my life right now. But what I really long for is to find other first-time entrepreneurs(企业家)who are my age. I want to connect with them.

So I want to do something about that in a few years. I want us to start talking more about people who don't become entrepreneurs until they are seniors. And then connecting all of them across industries, regions and countries—building a community.

5．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

In university I had a part-time job at a shop that sold doughnuts and coffee. Situated on a block where several buses stopped, it served the people who had a few minutes to wait for their bus.

Every afternoon around four o'clock, a group of schoolchildren would burst into the shop, and business would come to a stop. Adults would glance in, see the crowd and pass on. But I didn't mind if the children waited for their bus inside. Sometimes I would hand out a bus fare when a ticket went missing —always repaid the next day. On snowy days I would give away some doughnuts. I would lock the door at closing time, and we waited in the warm shop until their bus finally arrived.

I enjoyed my young friends, but it never occurred to me that I played an important role in their lives — until one afternoon when a man came and asked if I was the girl working on weekdays around four o'clock. He identified himself as the father of two of my favorites.

"I want you to know I appreciate what you do for my children. I worry about them taking two buses to get home. It means a lot that they can wait here and you keep an eye on them. When they are with the doughnut lady, I know they are safe." I told him it wasn't a big deal, and that I enjoyed the kids.

So I was the Doughnut Lady. I not only received a title, but became a landmark.

Now I think about all the people who keep an eye on my own children. They become, well, Doughnut Ladies. Like the men at the skating rink (滑冰场) who let my boys ring home; Or the bus driver who drove my daughter to her stop at the end of the route at night but wouldn't leave until I arrived to pick her up; Or that nice police officer who took pity on my boys walking home in the rain when I was at work —even though the phone rang all the next day with calls from curious neighbors. "Was that a police car I saw at your house last night?"

That wasn't a police car. That was a Doughnut Lady.

（1）According to the passage, the author sometimes _______.

A. called the children's parents to pick them up

B. provided schoolchildren with warm shelters

C. did business with the children's help

D. sold bus tickets to the children

（2）By saying "… it wasn't a big deal," (in paragraph 4) the autho r meant that _______.

A. she hadn't found it hard to get along with the children

B. she hadn't made a lot of money from the children

C. she hadn't spent plenty of time with the children

D. she hadn't done anything very significant

（3）According to the author, those who _______ are Doughnut Ladies.

A. are always ready to help others

B. provide free doughnuts for the poor

C. work in the doughnut store for a while

D. are curious about the happenings around

（4）The passage suggests that _______.

A. taking responsibility is a virtue

B. devotion co-exists with reward

C. running a business requires skills

D. acts of kindness are never too small

【答案】（1）B

（2）D

（3）A

（4）D

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了她在商店做兼职时，下午一群孩子总会进入商店等公交车，虽然这给她的生意带来了不便，但是她没有在意，善意的对待这些孩子，比如在这些孩子丢票时给他们钱买票，下雪天给他们一些甜甜圈。她的善意得到了他人的感谢，她的孩子也得到了他人的帮助。

（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"I would lock the door at closing time, and we waited in the warm shop until their bus finally arrived.可知作者有时候会在打烊的时候把门关上，和孩子们一起在暖和的商店里等待公交车。作者给孩子们提供了温暖的庇护所，故选B。（2）考查推理判断。根据第四段可知作者最喜欢的两个小孩的父亲来专门找到她向她表示感谢，然后她告诉这位父亲她享受和孩子们在一起的时光，这不是什么大不了的事。根据语境，作者的回答是想表达她做的事不是特别重要，只是一件小事罢了，故选D。（3）考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的“Or that nice police officer who took pity on my boys walking home in the rain when I was at work — even though the phone rang all the next day with calls from curious neighbors. ‘Was that a police car I saw at your house last night?’”以及最后一段“That wasn't a police car. That was a Doughnut Lady.”可知有好心的警察在下雨时将她的孩子送回去了，而作者把这位好心的警察称为"甜甜圈女士"，说明在作者心中，帮助他人的人就是"甜甜圈女士"，故选A。

（4）考查推理判断。文中作者充满善意地对待在她兼职的店里等车的孩子，她自己孩子也被善意地对待，全文的关键就是善意的行为，所以D项切题，故选D。

6．阅读理解

Back in 1988, I was working at the University of Bonn in Germany as a research fellow. I took some time off in early May to visit a friend, who was the director of a museum in Viterbo, in

central Italy. I set out by train, which crossed the Swiss border to reach Zurich, winding through valleys and along hillsides, and entering tunnels and making its way through the Swiss Alps. The scenery was so beautiful.

The train then crossed the Italian border before passing through Milan and Florence, then finally stopping in Rome. I was lucky, as my hotel was close to the railway station. The next morning, I had a coffee at a nearby café and eagerly set out to visit as many of the famous Roman landmarks as possible.

The following day I headed back to the train station, intending to take a short train ride to Viterbo to meet up with my friend. When I arrived at the station and attempted to locate the correct platform, I quickly realized that the station was closed for an upgrade (升级). For a moment my mind went blank and did not know what to do. My biggest problem was my luggage—my suitcase and hand luggage were so heavy that I couldn't move about easily. As I don't speak Italian, I could not ask anyone for instructions. I dragged my suitcase about 100 meters to a nearby motor mechanics. A tall, strong man of about 50 years of age was working there and I excused myself and asked where the nearest station was. I am sure that he did not understand me properly but he could easily guess that I was looking for a station. He replied, but I did not understand.

He smiled, wiped his hands and said something, which I guessed to mean "come along". So I dragged my suitcase along and followed him. He opened the door of his car, motioned to me to get in and then drove for a few minutes to the next station. I got out, unloaded my luggage, then shook his hand with thanks. He smiled back and drove away.

There was no time to hug or exchange names I understood he was busy and in the middle of his work. I was moved so much by his generosity that I have never forgotten him.

7．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

I.M. Pei, the Chinese-American, who was regarded as one of the last great modernist architects, has died at the age of 102.

Although he worked mostly in the United States, Pei will always be remembered for a European project: His redevelopment of the Louvre Museum in Paris in the 1980s. He gave us the glass and metal pyramid in the main courtyard, along with three smaller pyramids and a vast subterranean (地下的) addition to the museum entrance.

Pei was the first foreign architect to work on the Louvre in its long history, and initially his designs were fiercely opposed. But in the end, the French—and everyone else—were won over. Winning the fifth Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1983, he was thought as giving the 20th century "some of its most beautiful inside spaces and outside forms … His talent and skill in the use of materials approach the level of poetry."

After studying architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard, Pei set up his own architectural practice in New York in 1955.

Designing the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum in 1964 established him as a name. His East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington in 1978 changed people's ideas of a museum. The site was an odd trapezoid (梯形) shape. Pei's solution was to cut it in two. The resulting building was dramatic, light and elegant—one of the first crowd-pleasing cathedrals of modern art.

Though known as a modernist, and notable for his forms based on arrangements of simple geometric (几何的) shapes, he once urged Chinese architects to look more to their architectural tradition rather than designing in a western style.

In person, I.M. Pei was good-humored, charming and unusually modest. His working process was evolutionary, but innovation (创新) was never an intended goal.

"Stylistic originality is not my purpose," he said. "I want to find the originality in the time, the place and the problem."

8．阅读短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

For Kim Duffy, sending away her teenage daughter was the best hope for saving the girl's life. Corinne, then 17, had been struggling with bulimia (贪食症) and anorexia (厌食症) for more than five years. Duffy and her husband, Terry, found a residential facility in Virginia, and Corinne signed on for a two-month stay in the summer of 2009.

Today, Corinne's healthy and pursuing a master's degree in Colorado. She and her parents believe the holistic (整体) approach and individualized focus were key to her recovery. And they know they had access to unique resources. "We were fortunate," says Duffy. "We could pay for everything."

But many can't. According to a report released in November 2014 by the Standing Committee on the Status of Women, between 600, 000 and one million Canadians suffer from an eating disorder. Public in patient programs often won't admit patients until they're in life-threatening condition. Private clinics often have a long waitlists and high costs-at Homewood, in Guelph, Ont., a room is $ 305 to $360 per day.

The Duffs' struggle led then to connect other families with the quality of care they received in the United Sates. In late 2013, hey founded the WaterStone Clinic, a private eating disorder center in Toronto.

Since the facility opened, 170 clients have received treatment. They take yoga, do art therapy and participate in meal preparation, building real-life skills with a support team. Programs run weekdays from 8 a. m. to 2 p. m., and notably, so far WaterStone has no waiting list.

But this approach is costly: approximately $650 per day. Realizing that the price tag puts WaterStone out of reach for many, the Duffys created the WaterStone Foundation-a charity that provides aid to patients who can't afford treatment the following year. Candidates are assessed by two committees that make a decision based on clinical and financial need. Since 2014, the foundation has helped 100 people.

Duffy also wants to change the public system. In June of this year, the foundation awarded ＄170, 000 to four Ontario hopitals offering creative treatment to eating disorder patients. "Yes, people need private treatment," she says, "but it's important to help out on a broader scale, too."（1）Why did Duffy think they were fortunate?

A. They had enough money to travel abroad.

B. They could afford the medical resources.

C. They happened to find a right hospital.

D. They met very experienced doctors.

（2）What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A. Public hospitals cannot treat patients with eating disorder.

B. Many people die from eating disorder in Canadian public hospitals.

C. A lot of eating disorder patients have no access to proper treatment.

D. In private clinics eating disorder patients will receive timely treatment.

（3）Which of the following patients will receive help from WaterStone Foundation?

A. Poor ones who suffer from the disease.

B. Ones who are rejected by public hospitals.

C. Ones who are facing death.

D. old ones who are poor.

（4）What do we know from Duffy's words in the last paragraph?

A. Only private clinics can give proper treatment to the patients.

B. Treatment of the disease in public hospitals should be improved.

C. She wants to cooperate with public hospitals to help the patients.

D. Public hospitals should do more to help people with eating disorder.

【答案】（1）B

（2）C

（3）A

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，一对加拿大夫妇为了帮助有厌食症和贪食症的病人而创立了私人诊所以及为帮助贫穷病患者而设立慈善机构的故事。体现了人们要相互关怀互相帮助的人文思想。

（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"We were lucky. We could pay for everything."可知，他们支付得起医疗费用，因此感到很幸运，故选B。

（2）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“But many can't. According to a report released in November 2014 by the Standing Committee on the Status of Women, between 600, 000 and one million Canadians suffer from an eating disorder. Public in patient programs often won't admit patients until they're in life-threatening conditio n.”可知，但是很多人都支付不起这笔费用，很多人患有饮食问题，住院部只会收纳那些有生命危险的病人，而私人诊所的费用却很高昂，可知很多人不能享受医疗服务，故选C。

（3）考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的"…a charity that provides aid to patients who can't afford treatment…"以及"Candidates are assessed by two committees that make a decision based on clinical and financial need"。满足两个条件就可以获得WaterStone Foundation的赞助：付不起款的，并且病状严重者，故选A。

（4）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"…but it's important to help out on a broader scale…"意思是在更大范围内给这样的病人提供帮助是重要的。言外之意就是公立医院应该更多的帮助这类病人，故选D。

9．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

This year marks the 170th anniversary of Paul Gauguin's birth. He lived for just 54 years but he packed his brief life with activity.

The French painter spent his early childhood in Peru before returning to France. As an adult, he continued to travel a lot. Most famously, he spent much of the last decade of his life in Tahiti, an island in southern Pacific Ocean. Indeed, Gauguin is best known for his colorful paintings of Tahitians and their culture.

The restlessness of this great painter has been normal among modern artists since the middle of the 19th century. They're never satisfied for long with a certain style or way of life. Once something becomes conventional, it's turned down.

The artistic culture that Gauguin developed from was that of Impressionism (印象派). Painters like Claude Monet had wanted to paint how they saw the world, not how their teachers taught them it should be seen. Gauguin, and similar artists like his friend Vincent van Gogh, moved even further away from "respectable" art than the Impressionists. For them, it was not simply a matter of seeing the world differently, but feeling and thinking about it differently, too.

Gauguin saw, felt and thought differently from most members of European society. He thought that European culture was too fancy and not spontaneous. This is why he turned to the traditions of other parts of the world, like Africa, and, eventually, Tahiti. Artists like Gauguin used the word "primitive" for these cultures, but not as a negative term. For him, Europe, in becoming modem, industrial and scientific, seemed less natural than other parts of the world.

In truth, Gauguin's paintings may be unconventional but they are certainly not "primitive". They are the work of a painter with great awareness of what he was doing. It was this awareness that made him such an important painter for those that came after, in the 20th century. When we look closely at the works of Gauguin we begin to understand Pablo Picasso, and especially Henri Matisse, a little better.

（1）What can we infer about Gauguin's life?

A. He had an unhappy childhood.

B. He lived most of his life in Peru.

C. He enjoyed painting in Tahiti.

D. He preferred a traditional life style.

（2）What's the main purpose of Paragraph 4?

A. To explain why Gauguin's works were popular.

B. To point out where Gauguin's inspiration came from.

C. To show Gauguin's different understanding of painting.

D. To compare Gauguin's painting style with Vincent van Gogh's.

（3）Which of the following best explains "spontaneous" underlined in Paragraph 5?

A. Natural

B. Modern

C. Industrial

D. Scientific

（4）The author mentions Picasso and Matisse in the last paragraph to show ________. A. their styles are different from Gauguin's B. great artists share many similarities

C. they are as important as Gauguin

D. Gauguin's influence on their works

【答案】（1）C

（2）C

（3）A

（4）D

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇人物传记，今年是Gauguin诞辰170周年。他只活了54年，但他短暂的一生充满了活力。这篇文章介绍了著名画家Gauguin的生平及其作品。

（1）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“Indeed, Gauguin is best known for his colorful paintings of Tahitians and their culture.“事实上，Gauguin最为人所知的是他对塔希提人和他们的文化的丰富多彩的绘画。”可知，他喜欢在塔希提岛画画。故选C。

（2）考查段落大意。根据第四段中的“The artistic culture that Gauguin developed from was that of Impressionism (印象派).”Gauguin发展起来的艺术文化是印象派；以及“Gauguin, and similar artists like his f riend Vincent van Gogh, moved even further away from‘respectable’ art than the Impressionists. ”Gauguin和他的朋友文森特·梵高（Vincent van Gogh）等类似艺术家比印象派画家更远离“受人尊敬的”艺术。可知第四段的目的是“展示Gauguin对绘画的不同理解。”故选C。

（3）考查词义猜测。根据第五段中的“For him, Europe, in becoming modem, industrial and scientific, seemed less natural than other parts of the world.”在他看来，欧洲在走向现代化、工业化和科学化的过程中，似乎没有世界其他地区那么自然。”由此推知He thought that European culture was too fancy and not spontaneous. 中划线词的意思是“自然的”。故选A。（4）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“It was this awareness that made him such an important painter for those that came after, in the 20th century. When we look closely at the works of Gauguin we begin to understand Pablo Picasso, and especially Henri Matisse, a little better. ”正是这种意识使他成为20世纪后来者的重要画家。当我们仔细观察Gauguin的作品时，我们开始更好地理解毕加索，尤其是马蒂斯。”可知，作者在最后一段中提到了毕加索和马蒂斯，以展示Gauguin对他们作品的影响。故选D。

【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断，词义猜测和段落大意三个题型的考查，是一篇人物类阅读，要求考生根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

10．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。

At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.

More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody(抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison's blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.

"Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it," Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. "It's an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it." Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. He's made 1,162 donations from his right arm and 10 from his left.

"I'd keep going if they let me," Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations — and they certainly don't take them lightly. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they're cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final donation surrounded by some of the mothers and babies who his blood helped save. Harrison's retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison's retirement from giving blood doesn't mean he's completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.

（1）What do we know about James Harrison?

A.He saved 2.4 million poor people.

B.He is to retire as a blood donor.

C.He is a very grateful blood donor.

D.He donates blood nearly every day.

（2）What is the author's purpose of writing Paragraph 4?

A.To state Harrison's decision to continue donating blood.

B.To describe how Harrison's donations come to an end.

C.To introduce some babies saved by Harrison's blood.

D.To praise Harrison for his cooperation with the doctors.

（3）What can we infer from the passage about Harrison?

A.After his retirement, the Rh program will fail.

B.New donors are easy to find in a short time.

C.He continues to contribute to the Rh program.

D.His DNA is kept in a library for future study.

（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.A Unique Man with a Rare Blood Type

B.The Blood Saving Millions of Babies

C.A Special Blood producer

D.The Man with the Golden Arm

【答案】（1）C

（2）B

（3）C

（4）D

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，一位澳大利亚男子在他14岁时，因为他的病，急需要血液，别人帮他输血救了他的生命，他决定一旦年满18岁，就开始尽可能定期献血。他一直捐献自己极其罕见的血液来救别人，60多年里，献血将近1200次，救了240万婴儿的生命。

（1）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could."以及第二段中的"More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody(抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages"可知，他决定一旦年满18岁，就开始尽可能定期献血。60多年内，他献血将近1200次。他的血液中含有一种抗体，这种抗体挽救了240万婴儿的生命。所以哈里森兑现了他14岁许下的诺言，60多年内，他献血将近1200次。挽救了240万婴儿的生命。故通过关键词"begin donating blood as regularly, 60 years, 1, 200 donations, save"可以判断出，哈里森是个非常感恩的献血者。故选C。

（2）考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"His doctors said it was time to stop the donations —and they certainly don't take them lightly. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they're cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final donation surrounded by some of the mothers and babies who his blood helped save"可知，他的医生说，是时候停止捐赠了，他们当然不会轻易接受。他们已经延长了他献血的年龄限制，现在为了保护他的健康，他要停止献血。他做了最后一次捐赠，他的血液挽救了一些母亲和婴儿的生命。所以通过医生所说的话，可以判断出，第四段的目的是描述哈里森的献血是如何结束的。故选B。

（3）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"But Harrison's retirement from giving blood doesn't mean he's completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia."可知，但是，哈里森从献血退休并不意味着他完全退出了，科学家们正在收集和编目他的DNA，以建立一个抗体和白血球库，这可能是澳大利亚抗-D计划的未来。所以尽管哈里森已经退休，但他并不是完全退出，因为围绕着他血液的研究会一直进行下去，所以哈里森会继续为Rh项目做出贡献。故选C。

（4）考查主旨大意。通读全文可知，短文叙述了一位澳大利亚男子在他14岁时，因为他的病，急需血液，别人帮他输血救了他的生命，他决定一旦年满18岁，就开始尽可能定期献血。他一直捐献自己极其罕见的血液来救别人，60多年里，献血将近1200次，救了超过二百万婴儿的故事。所以短文主要在叙述一位有极其珍贵的手臂的人，是这样的手臂输出的血液，救了这么多的人。故短文的最佳标题为“一位有极其珍贵的手臂的人”。故选D。

【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断和主旨大意两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，要求考生根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
