湖南长沙市2016高考英语(二轮)阅读理解训练(39)及答案

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。

She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last

forever.But,at nearly 500 years of age,time is

catching up with the Mona Lisa.

The health of the famous

picture,painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505,is getting worse by the year,according to the Louvre Museum where it is housed.

“The thin,wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has

changed shape since experts checked it two years ago。”the museum

said.Visitors have noticed changes,but repairing the world’s most

famous painting is not easy。Experts are not sure about the materials the

Italian artist used and their current(现在的)chemical state。

Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year,many attracted

by the mystery of her smile。“It's very interesting that when you' re not

looking at her,she seems to be smiling,and then,you look at her and she

slops.”said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University.“It' s

because direct vision(视觉)is excellent at picking up detail,but less suited 学必求其心得,业必贵于专精

to looking at shadows.Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”

However,the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the

smile。Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with

him,until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis I in 1519。

In 1911,the painting was stolen from the Louvre Museum by a

former employee,who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat。He said he planned to return it to Italy。The painting was sent back to

France two years later.

During World War II,French men hid the painting in small towns to keep

it out of the hands of German forces.

Like many old ladies,the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell。

1.The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the Mona

Lisa________。

A.is losing its value

B.is being damaged after so many years

C.is getting more valuable with years passing

D.will rot away

答案:B 细节理解题。首先,由转折词But判断,本句的意思应和文章前面所说“美貌是永恒的”在意义上相反。后面又介绍说“蒙学必求其心得,业必贵于专精

娜·丽莎”的健康状况随着岁月的流逝而恶化,画的木板变形,因此断定此处的意思是指随着岁月的流逝,名画《蒙娜·丽莎》受到了损坏。

2.The smile of the Mona Lisa can only be seen________。

A.by indirect vision B.at a distance

C.by direct vision D.in shadows

答案:A 细节理解题。文章第四段提到,人们“正视”时,往往看不到“蒙娜·丽莎”的微笑,原因是当时达·芬奇是在暗处画得画,因此只有人们“不正视”时,才能看到她的微笑。

3.From the last paragraph,we can infer that________。

A.many interesting stories have been written about the Mona Lisa

B.people are interested in the stories about the Mona Lisa

C.some mysteries still remain to be solved about the Mona Lisa

D.many more stories will be told about the Mona Lisa

答案:C 推理判断题。文章前面提到“蒙娜·丽莎”的历史像她的微笑一样是个谜,因此最后一段的意思是她还有一些秘密未被人知。

4.Experts haven’t had any repairs on the Mona Lisa because________。

A.it is now in a poor chemical state

B.they don't know how to replace the wooden panel 学必求其心得,业必贵于专精

C.they don’t have the materials Da Vinci used

D.they are afraid it will be done further damage

答案:D 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句可知,专家对于达·芬奇所用的材料及材料现在的化学状态没有把握,也就是说担心盲目修补会更加损坏此画。A项讲此画状况极差,观点过激与本文不符;B项本文未提及;C项与第三段最后一句不符。

阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly。 As a

doctor, mother and scientist in child development I believe there is

nothing to recommend it, from the baby’s point of view。

Mothers, doctors and nurses alike have no idea of where a baby’s blood

sugar level lies。 All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain

development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is

difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention

by crying and searching for food with its mouth.

It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four— hourly feeding

schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a

strict clock- watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King who was 学必求其心得,业必贵于专精

against feeding in the night。 I’ve never heard anything so ridiculous。

Baby feeding shouldn’t follow a timetable set by the mum. What is

important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some

inconvenience in the first few weeks.

Well, at last we havecopper- bottomed research that supports demand

feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding。 The

research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school

at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock。 By the age

of 8, their IQ (智商) scores are four to five percent higher than babies

fed by a rigid timetable。 This research comes from Oxford and Essex

University using a sample (样本) of 10, 419 children born in the early

1990s, taking account of parental education, family income, a child’s

is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the aging of has made us a very different society

— one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.

A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/ her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular

year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t

as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.

Nowadays women appear to have a positive image of themselves as safer drivers than men.

In a survey done for insurer MetLife,51% of women said they

drive more safely.The evidence is on their side:Men are 3.4 times more likely than women to get a ticket for careless driving and 3.1 times as likely to be punished for drunk driving.“Women are on average less aggressive and more law abiding (守法的) drivers,which leads to fewer accidents,” the report says.However,not all male drivers share the same opinion.Of the men surveyed by MetLife,39% claimed male drivers were safer.The findings did back them up on one point:automotive knowledge.The report showed that more men are

familiar with current safety equipment such as electronic stability control,which helps prevent rollover accidents.

stress in their lives (39%), followed by family (30%). Other sources include health (10%), concern

It is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible for housework,but with one of the following suggestions,you really can get your children to help at home.

If you give your children the impression that they can never do anything quite right,then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons.Unless children believe they can succeed,they will never become totally independent.

My daughter Carla’s fifthgrade teacher made every child in her class feel special.When students received less than a prefect test score,she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.

You can use the same technique when you evaluate (评价) your child’s work at home.Don’t always scold and give lots of praise instead.Talk about what he has done right,not about what he hasn’t done.If your child completes a difficult task,promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.
