吉林省长春市2015高考英语阅读理解自练

吉林省长春市2015高考英语译林阅读理解自练(5)及答案阅读理解Throughout the 1990s and 2000s until today, Domingo continued performing, singing many of the same roles but adding new roles as well, among them the title roles in Wagner‘s Parsifal and Mozart‘s Idomeneo, Rossini‘s Il ba rbiere di Siviglia as Figaro, Wagner’s Die Walküre as Siegmund, Lehár‘s The Merry Widow as Danilo and Alfano‘s Cyrano de Bergerac as Cyrano. From the middle 1990s to early in 2008 alone, he added 38 new roles, covering opera in six different languages (English, Italian, French, German, Russian and Spanish). The latest was the Italian opera by George Frideric Hand el, Tamerlano.Giving him even greater international recognition outside of the world of opera, he participated in The Three Tenors(男高音)concert at the eve of the 1990 FIFA World Cup Final in Rome with José Carreras and Luciano Pavarotti. The event was originally planned to raise money for the José Carreras International Leukemia(白血病)Foundation and was later repeated a number of times, including at the three later World Cup finals (1994 in Los Angeles, 1998 in Paris, and 2002 in Yokohama). Alone, Domingo again made an appearance at the final of the 2006 World Cup in Berlin, along with rising stars Anna Netrebko and Rolando Villazón. On 24 August 2008, Domingo performed a duet with Song Zuying, singing Ài de Huǒyàn (The Flame of Love) at the 2008 Summer Olympics closing ceremony in Beijing. The Beijing Olympics were the second Olympics he performed at; he sang the Olympic Hymn at the closing ceremonies of the Barcelona Olympics. At the Olympic games that followed, he would meet Sissel Kyrkjebø, who performed the Olympic Hymn at both the opening and closing ceremonies at those games. In what has been called his ‘final career move’, Plácido Domingo announ ced on 25 January 2007 that in 2009 he would take on one of Verdi‘s most demanding baritone (男中音)roles, singing the title role in Simon Boccanegra. The first performance was at Berlin State Opera on October 24, followed by 29 other performances during 2009/2010 at major opera houses around the world. He would, however, continue to sing tenor roles beforehand and afterwards.On 16–17 April 2008 he sang during the visit of Pope Benedict XVI at Nationals Park and at the Italian embassy in Washington D.C. Since 1990 Plácido Domingo has received many awards and honors for his achievement in the field of music and in recognition of his many benefit concerts and contributions to various charities.On 15 March 2009, The Metropolitan Opera celebrated Domingo’s 40th a nniversary with the company with an on-stage gala dinner at the Met’s 125th anniversary, in honour of his first performance in Adriana Lecouvreur as Maurizio opposite Renata Tebaldi on 28 September 1968.On 29 August 2009 he sang Panis Angelicus at the funeral mass of Senator Ted Kennedy in the Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Boston, Massachusetts./wiki/Pl%C3%A1cido_Domingo - cite_note-14#cite_note-14On September 20, 2010, Domingo announced that he would renew his contract as General Director of the Los Angeles Opera through 2013. On September 27, 2010, Domingoannounced that he will not renew his contract as Genera l Director of the Washington National Opera beyond its June 2011 expiration date.Ever a sympathetic colleague, in March 2011 he refused to sing in Buenos Aires until the city settled a bitter musicians strike at the Teatro Colon.1. What can we conclude from the passage?A. Domingo can only sing in six different languages.B. Domingo won many awards because he sang a lot.C. José Carreras was later diagnosed with Leukemia.D. Domingo enjoyed world-wide popularity as a Tenor.2. Domingo does the following EXCEPT ___________.A. charity workB. promoting world sportsC. organizing anniversary celebrationsD. forming a peaceful society3. Singing at different events of world sports shows that Domingo ___________.A. prefers to try singing in different languages including ChineseB. enjoys watching sports events despite his busy performancesC. would be more than happy to do some benefit work for the worldD. knows clearly that singing for sports events helps him to be famous4. From paragraph 3, we can see that Domingo is a ___________ person.A. challengingB. strictC. responsibleD.hard-working【参考答案】DCCA高考英语冲刺阅读理解专项-----AEverybody is happy as his pay rises. Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a fellow worker has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he is known as being lazy, you might even be qu ite cross. Such behavior is regarded as “all too human”, with the underlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely developed sense of sadness. But a study by Sarah Brosnan of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.The researchers studied the behaviors of some kind of female brown monkeys. They look smart. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food happily. Above all, like female human beings, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.Such characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Brosnan’s study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens (奖券) for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms, so that each other could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock, they became quite different.In the world of monkeys,grapes are excellent goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the secondwas not willing to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either shook her own token at the researcher, or refused to accept the cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other room (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to bring about dissatisfaction in a female monkey.The researches suggest that these monkeys, like humans, are guided by social senses. In the wild, they are co-operative and group-living. Such co-operation is likely to be firm only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of anger when unfairly treated, it seems, are not the nature of human beings alone. Refusing a smaller reward completely makes these feelings clear to other animals of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness developed independently in monkeys and humans, or whether it comes from the common roots that they had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Only monkeys and humans can have the sense of fairness in the world.B. Women will show more dissatisfaction than men when unfairly treated.C. In the wild, monkeys are never unhappy to share their food with each other.D. Monkeys can exchange cucumbers for grapes, for grapes are more attractive. 答案解析:答案为B。

Don’t you have a watch or something?W: Yes, I thought that I had set the alarm clock for 7 o’clock, but it rang an hour later.Text 2W: Would you mind if I opened the window?M: Of course not. It’s really hot in the room. Open the window to let in more fresh air.Text 3M: Where to, Miss?W: Please drop me off at the King’s Department Store.M: On the west side?W: No, the east side, near the post office.Text 4W: Hello. This is Kate from the Rainbow Hotel. Is Jimmy at home?M: No. He is in the lab, but he will be back home at 4 o’clock.Text 5W: I’m going to the store. What would you like me to buy for you?M: Would you please buy a wallet for me while you are there?W: With pleasure.Text 6W: How do you usually spend your evenings?M: I usually study. But if there’s a new film on TV, I watch that instead.W: How about weekends?M: I usually do some washing and cleaning in the morning. In the afternoon I like to go out to do some shopping or visit some friends.W: Do you often go to parks or to ball games?M: Sometimes, but not often.Text 7M: Look! Someone is celebrating his birthday.W: This must be his 21st birthday. No doubt about it.M: Why? Do you know that guy?W: No. Well, in America, 21 is the age when you’re allowed to drink. So, many guys celebrate it in bars.M: That’s interesting. But it would be really expensive, I suppose. Just think about all the drinks.W: No. If it’s your birthday, then you don’t need to pay a cent. Just blow out the candles and open the gifts. Thatmakes the birthday a special day. Your friends will take care of everything.M: Wow, that’s wonderful.Text 8W: Jim has been here for years. Do we have to fire him?M: Well, in face of the crisis, we have to cut jobs. Besides, with the new machine, we don’t need him.W: Is there anything else he can do around here?M: Nothing, I’ve checked.

You don’t know what it’s like to be fired.W: You, a general manager, know what it’s like?M: Yes. I was 30 years old at the time, working in a big company. One morning, I found an announcement on my desk. It said, “Clear your office by noon today.” No explanation, no apology, no thanks for a job well done. W: That really hurts.Text 9W: Excuse me, sir, but we’re doing a survey on what people prefer to do on holiday. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?M: No, not at all. Please go ahead.W: How often do you go on holiday?M: I generally have a two-week holiday a year.W: And what do you prefer to do when you are on holiday?M: Well, I don’t usually visit my family. We live quite close and I can see them any time. But I do like to visit museums and art galleries, especially if there’s a special exhibition on. I don’t like to stay at home, although my parents do. You know, in the morning I prefer to sit under the tree, listening to birds.W: Do you ever travel overseas?M: No, I don’t. It’s too expensive for me.W: What about your wife?M: She loves to visit the coast in the afternoon. So if the weather’s good, we often go swimming in the sea, or maybe just lie on the beach and enjoy the sun.W: OK. Well, thank you very much for your time.Text 10Welcome to Guide Dogs Training Center, boys and girls! First let me tell you something about guide dogs.In 1918 a doctor and his pet dog walked with a soldier who was blind. The doctor went in the hospital for a short time. When he came out, he saw his pet had guided the soldier on the other side of the hospital yard safely. So he taught a dog to guide a person and it worked out well. Germany helped start a program to teach dogs to be guides.Dorothy, an American woman, went to Germany to find out more about the guide dogs. When she came back to the United States, she wrote about it in a magazine. Soon more people knew about the guide dogs.The best dogs for the job are clever and fit. It takes more than 2 years to train a little dog to be a guide dog. When the dog is 14 months old, it learns many instructions. Then the owner and the dog meet, and they practice for 4 weeks.Have I made myself clear? OK, let’s go on visiting.【参考答案】4.C 【命题立意】考查考生获取事实性具体信息的能力。

阅读理解AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache.I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model.I realized this day later,when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately,I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to read.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电)noise.For some reason,when certain shows switched into a commercial,a loud noise would sound for a few seconds.Gradually,this noise began to appear during show,and to get rid of it,I had to change to another channel and then change it back.Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound.I actually began to build up my arm muscles shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise,I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away.At last I ended up hitting the set with my first,and it stopped working altogether.My trip to repair shop cost$62,and the set is working will now,but I keep expecting more trouble.1.Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A.He got an older model than he had expected.B.He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C.He couldn’t have bought it at a lower price.D.He failed to find any movie show on it.2.Which of the following can best replace the phrase”signed off”in paragraph 1?A.ended all their programsB.provided fewer channelsC.changed to commercialsD.showed all night movies3.How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A.By shaking and hitting itB.By turning it on and offC.By switching channelsD.By having it repair.4.How does the author sound when telling the story?A.CuriosB.AnxiousC.cautiousD.humorousBYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating,for people are often less self-conscious(难为情)when they’re in poorly lit places and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light,get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study,people who ate meals in blue room consumed 33percent less than in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint,go blue.Don’t forget the clock-or the radio.People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70fewer calories per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time,and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes.And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down,turn on relaxing music.It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入)jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.5.The text is especially helpful for those who care about_________.A.their home comfortsB.their body shapeC.house buyingD.healthy diets6.A home environment in blue can help people__________.A.digest food betterB.reduce food intakeC.burn more caloriesD.regain their appetites.7.What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A.eat quicklyB.play fast musice smaller spoonsD.turn down lights.8.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Is Your House Making You Fat?B.Ways of Serving Dinner.C.Effects of Self-Consciousness.D.
