2014高考英语二轮阅读理解基础精品训练题（20)及答案
阅读理解—-—---A
For many years， I was convinced that my suffering was due to my
size。 I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old
wounds, hurts, and rejections with it。
Many weight – conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing
our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that
being thin equals being loved， being special, and being cherished。 We
fantasize about what it will be like when we reach the long – awaited
goal。 We work very hard to realize this dream。 Then， at last， we find
ourselves there。
But we often gain back what we have lost。 Even so, we continue to
believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off。
Next time， being thin finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness,
self – worth, and， of course， love。
It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me
to learn about beauty。 Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a
woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200
pounds。 More importantly， if it’s happiness that we want, why not put
our energy there rather than on the size of our body？ Why not look
inside？ Many of us try hard to change our body， but in vain。
We have
to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with
and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the 学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
whole world changes.
1. The passage seems to emphasize the importance of .
A。 body size B。 attitudes toward life
C. cultural differences D. different beauty standards
答案解析：答案为B。本题考查文章的主旨大意。文章前面的内容介绍了作者减肥的痛苦思想经历，最后一段最后一句话点出了文章的中心 “When we change our attitudes toward ourselves， the whole
world changes。” 作者认为当我们改变对我们自己的态度后，整个世界就变了，因此本文在强调生活的态度，故答案为B。
2. What does the underlined part “in vain” in the last paragraph mean？
A. Without success。 B。 Without purpose.
C。 In doubt。 D。 In trouble.
答案解析:答案为A。本题为词义猜测题。由划线部分所在的语境
“Many of us try hard to change our body, but in vain."可知，“but”后的意思应该与前面的“很多人努力地去改变身体”意思相反,因此“in
vain”的意思最有可能是“没有成功"，故答案为A.
3。 What can be inferred about the author?
A. The author is a Samoan。
B. The author succeeded in losing weight。
C. The author has been troubled by her / his weight.
D. The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents。 学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
答案解析:答案为C。本题为推理题。由第一段第一句话 “For many
years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size.”可知,很多年以来，作者相信他/她的痛苦是因为自身的身材肥胖，因此可以推断作者很多年都受到体重的困扰，故答案为C.由最后一段首句 “It
took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to
learn about beauty."可知，作者花了很长时间才意识到关于美还有很多的要学习，因此作者减肥并不成功，故干扰项最强的B选项“作者成功减肥了”错误。
4。 According to the author, what is the common view of those who have
lost some weight first and gained it back later？
A。 They feel angry about the regained weight.
B。 They pay little attention to the regained weight.
C. They feel optimistic about future plans on weight control.
D. They think they should give up their future plans on weight control。
答案解析:答案为C。本题为推理题。由倒数第二段内容可知,很多人减肥后还是长胖，即使如此，他们仍然相信下次一定会有所不同，能够变得更瘦,这就是许多人的自我安慰,从而保持快乐。可以推断，那些减肥的人对他们的减肥计划感到非常乐观，故答案为C。

【2014四川省资阳市第一次诊断性考试】C
An alcohol breath test (ABT) is often used by the police to find out whether a
person is drunk while driving. In the United States, the legal blood alcohol limit
is % for people aged 21 years or older, while people under 21 are not allowed to drive
a car with any level of alcohol in their body. A “positive” test result, a result
over the legal limit, allows the police to arrest the driver. However, many people
who tested positive on the test have claimed that they only drank a “non-alcoholic”
energy drink. Can one of these energy drinks really cause someone to test positive
on an ABT? Researchers in Missouri set up an experiment to find out.
First, the amount of alcohol in 27 different popular energy drinks was measured.
All but one had an alcohol level greater than %. In nine of the 27 drinks, the alcohol

1. In times of economic crisis, Americans turn to their families
for support. If the Great Depression is any guide, we may see a drop in our skyhigh divorce rate. But this won’t necessarily represent an increase in happy marriages. In the long run, the Depression weakened American families, and the current crisis will probably do the same.
We tend to think of the Depression as a time when families pulled together to survive huge job losses. By 1932, when nearly one-quarter of the workforce was unemployed, the divorce rate had
declined by around 25% from 1929. But this doesn’t mean people were suddenly happier with their marriages. Rather, with incomes decreasing and insecure jobs, unhappy couples often couldn’t afford to divorce. They feared neither spouse could manage alone.
