选修8 Unit 4 高考试卷分块专练阅读理解提速练(4篇阅读＋1篇七选五，限时35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解APygmalion is a drama in which Shaw has made sentiments one of the principle themes of discussion. The Greek sculptor Pygmalion carved a statue and fell in love with it. Aphrodite (the goddess of love) turned the statue into a living woman named Galatea, who then became Pygmalion's wife.The Shavian Pygmalion is Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics, whopicks up a flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, teaches her to speak as educated peopledo, and then successfully passes_her_off_as a duchess. But she is a humanbeing and cannot be treated as a machine. In the course of all his experimentsand exhibitions, the professor only thinks of his own skill success and failure,but never stops to consider how the girl feels. When the experiment is over, hehas a profound sense of relief that he has achieved triumph and has won his bet. Even now，the sentiment of the girl is of no account. The girl naturally protests against this dehumanized relationship between her and her teacher. She hurls the professor's slippers at him when he wants them and then leaves his place. But evidently, she has begun to feel for the professor and wants also to be felt for.Now the question is what is the nature of Eliza's feelings for the professor with whom she has lived in close association for so long? In the last act, the girl says she would not marry him even if he had proposed (求婚) to her. The professor, curiously ineffectual (无效的) to sexual emotions, does not love any girl because he finds them to be rivals (对手) to his own mother. He wonders, if Eliza does not want to marry him, then what does she want from him? Old Mrs. Higgins, who knows much about a woman says that it would have been better if he had thanked her and petted her and told her how wonderful she had been. Then perhaps she would not have fought with him. Every girl loves to be loved. Eliza herself says that she loves Freddy and he also loves her. Professor Higgins, however, remains as ever, an old bachelor.语篇解读：萧伯纳的著名戏剧《卖花女》具有经久不衰的艺术魅力，描述的是语言学教授希金斯如何把一名卖花姑娘训练成英语发音被上流社会接受并认可的故事，从而抨击了当时英国腐朽保守的等级意识.1．What does the underlined phrase “passes her off as” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Let her pretend to be.B．Dress her up as.C．Make her become. D．Turn into.解析：选A词义猜测题.根据前文的“teaches her to speak as educated people do”以及下文的“In the course of all his experiments and exhibitions”可知该短语的意思是“把某人冒充或假装为”.2．What kind of person do you think Higgins is according to the second paragraph?A．He is a kind man. B．He is a considerate man.C．He is a selfish man. D．He is a rude man.解析：选C推理判断题.根据第二段第三句可知希金斯只考虑自己的成败得失，从不考虑伊莉莎的感受，显然他是一个自私的人.3．Why does not Eliza marry Higgins? Because ________.A．she does not love himB．his mother does not like any girl to be her rivalC．he likes to be a bachelorD．he doesn't love any girl for fear of them being his mother's rivals解析：选D细节理解题.根据最后一段第三句可知伊莉莎不会嫁给希金斯，因为希金斯担心未来的妻子会成为他母亲的对手，所以他不敢爱上任何一个女孩.4．Which of the following statement is TRUE?A．Shaw was in fact a Greek sculptor.B．Higgins was experimenting with Eliza.C．Eliza wanted to become an educated lady very much.D．Higgins fell in love with Eliza at first sight.解析：选B细节理解题.根据第二段可知希金斯只是把伊莉莎当成一个试验品.故B正确.BI can still remember it as if it happened yesterday. I was a college freshman and had stayed up most of the night before laughing and talking with friends. Now just before my first class of the day my eyelids were feeling heavier and heavier and my head was drifting down to my desk to make my textbook a pillow. A few minutes' nap time before class couldn't hurt, I thought.Boom! I lifted my head immediately and my eyes opened wider than saucers. I looked around with my heart beating quickly trying to find the cause of the noise. My young professor was looking back at me with a mischievous,_boyish smile on his face. He had intentionally dropped the pile of textbooks he was carrying onto his desk. “Good morning！” he said, still smiling. “I'm glad to see everyone is awake. Now let's get started.”For the next hour I wasn't sleepy at all. It wasn't from the shock of my professor's textbook alarm clock either. Instead, it was from the attractive discussion he led. With knowledge and good humor, he made the material come alive. His insights were full of both wisdom and loving kindness. And the enthusiasm and joy which he taught with were contagious (有感染力的). I left the classroom not only wide awake, but a little smarter and a little better as well.I learned something far more important than not sleeping in class that day too. I learned thatif you are going to do something in this life, do it well, do it with joy, and make it an expression of your love. What a glorious place this world would be if all of us did our work joyously and well! What a beautiful world we could create if every doctor, teacher, musician, cook, waitress, poet, miner, farmer, and laborer made their work an expression of their love! Don't sleepwalk through your life then. Wake up! Let your love fill your work and your soul. Life is too short not to live it well.语篇解读：本文通过作者大学第一节课的经历告诉我们：无论从事什么职业，我们都应该带着热情和快乐去做好它.5．What did the author want to do just before his first class of the day?A．Talk with his friends.B．Take a short sleep.C．Get his eyes examined.D．Stay away from the class.解析：选B细节理解题.根据文章第一段最后两句“... my eyelids were feeling heavier and heavier ... A few minutes' nap time before class couldn't hurt, I thought.”可知，作者很困，想在上课前小睡一会儿.故选B项.6．The underlined word “mischievous” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”．A．naughty B．trickyC．sensitive D．dishonest解析：选A词义猜测题.画线词与boyish共同修饰smile，感情色彩应一致.根据boyish 的含义“男孩子气的”可推测，mischievous应表示“调皮的；淘气的”，与naughty意思相近.故选A项.7．What else did the author learn that day?A．Students should not sleep in class but respect their teachers.B．Everyone should love his job and sleepwalk through his life.C．Life is too limited to make your work an expression of your love.D．People from all walks of life should do their jobs with joy and love.解析：选D细节理解题.根据文章最后一段中的“I learned that if you are going to do something in this life, do it well, do it with joy, and make it an expression of your love.”和“What a beautiful world we could create if every doctor ... made their work an expression of their love！”可知，作者还学到无论你从事什么职业，都应该用充满快乐与爱的心去把工作做好，从而创造一个更美好的世界.故选D项.8．What can be inferred from this passage?A．The professor often kept his students sharp by using a textbook alarm.B．The author was attracted by the professor's great joy and enthusiasm.C．The author left the two-hour period not only wide awake, but a little smarter.D．Though the author was frightened awake, he was not clear-headed in the class.解析：选B推理判断题.根据文章第三段中的“With knowledge and good humor, he made the material come alive. His insights were full of both wisdom and loving kindness. And the enthusiasm and joy which he taught with were contagious(有感染力的)．”可知，作者被教授的快乐和热情所吸引，故选B项.C(2018·西宁市高三检测)If you choose only to complain and escape from a misfortune, it will always follow you wherever you go.But if you decide to be strong, the hardship will turn out to be fortune on which new hopes will arise.In an accident, a boy lost both his arms and his father who was the main source of support for the family.Since then, he has had to depend on the arms of his younger brother.For the sake of taking care of him, his younger brother became his shadow, never leaving him alone for years.Except for writing with his toes, he was completely unable to do anything in his life.As the two brothers grew up together, they had their share of problems and they would often quarrel.Then one day, his younger brother wanted to leave, living his own life, as many normal people do.So he was heartbroken and didn't know what to do.A similar misfortune befell a girl, too.One night, her mother who suffered from chronic mental illness disappeared.Her father went out to look for her mother, leaving her alone at home.She tried to prepare meals for her parents, only to overturn the kerosene light on the stove, resulting in a fire which took her hands away.Though her elder sister who was studying in another city showed her willingness to take care of her, she was determined to be completely independent.At school, she always studied hard.Most of all she learned to be self-reliant.One day, the boy and the girl were both invited to appear on a television interview program.The boy told the TV host about his uncertain future at being left on his own, whereas the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life.They both were asked to write something on a piece of paper with their toes.The boy wrote: My younger brother's arms are my arms; while the girl wrote: Broken wings, flying heart.语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文.文章通过介绍两个不同的故事启迪我们应当积极勇敢地面对困难.9．What attitude should we take towards a misfortune in the author's opinion?A．Trying to find an escape from it.B．Facing it bravely with a positive mind.C．Asking for help from your relatives.D．Ignoring it and living a normal life.解析：选B推理判断题.根据第一段的第二句“But if you decide to be strong, the hardship will turn out to be fortune on which new hopes will arise.”可推知，面对困难我们应当积极勇敢地面对，故B项正确.10．After the accident, the boy ________.A．decided to live with his brotherB．learnt to do things with his toesC．made a living all by himselfD．depended wholly on his brother解析：选D细节理解题.根据第二段的第二句“Since then, he has had to depend on the arms of his younger brother.”可知，失去双臂后，他就完全依靠他的弟弟，故D项正确.11．Which of the following is TRUE of the girl?A．She lost her mother in an accident.B．Her sister took good care of her.C．She was optimistic and full of courage.D．She led a poor life with her father.解析：选C推理判断题.根据最后一段第二句中的“the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life”，并结合第五段可知，她决定独立生活，在学校努力学习.据此可知，女孩在事故后乐观而坚强，故C项正确.12．What did the girl mean by “Broken wings, flying heart”？A．Never give up hopes in face of hardship.B．It's not easy for her to live a normal life.C．If a bird loses its wings, it can not fly.D．If you lose your hands, your life will be hard.解析：选A句意理解题.“Broken wings, flying heart”为女孩用脚趾写的话，意为“失去双翼，心仍飞翔”；结合最后一段第二句中的“the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life”和第五段可知，事故之后，她决定独立生活，在学校努力学习，乐观坚强地面对生活；据此可知，该句是说“面对困难，永远不要放弃希望”，故A项正确.DLast year Martha had a crazy idea: “Let's go to the shelter and get a dog.” I was not exactly thrilled about the idea but agreed. We went to a California Animal Shelter. We wanted to find a dog and save a life at the same time. While I walked along the rows and rows of cold metal cages, a dog caught my eye. He was scared, weak and looked like he had given up on life.He looked at me with big beautiful eyes. I could see into his soul that he just wanted it to end.I approached his cage. I stuck my finger through the hole in the cage and scratched him on the head. He closed his eyes and accepted all the love. I knew that this dog had never felt love before.I thought he was enjoying every bit of the love I could give him until his time came to leave the Earth.Tears began to stream down my face because I felt everything that this poor creature was feeling right then. He just wanted to be loved; he just wanted a home and a family.I called my wife Martha and son Gabriel over and told them. “We want him.”Now Carson's favorite thing to do is to leap up in the air onto our bed in the morning and give us kisses with his giant tongue. He is always there to greet us when we come home with a huge smile and a wagging tail.Our lives are so much better because of this giant dog.

Ⅰ阅读理解A(2018·安徽百所重点高中模拟)I had the honour of being electedchief of my tribe(部落)．With the title came great responsibility. It wasmy job to make peace with the Maori Tamaki tribe, whose village wevisited. Their soldiers jumped from a canoe and faced us down with fiercecrying, sticking eyes and much noise of sticks. They laid a palm leaf on the ground and, as head, I was forced to accept this peace offering by picking it up, then touching noses with their chief. “Kia ora，” he said, welcoming us into the woodland home of his people.My “tribe” was my New Zealand coach tour group, who had forced me into being their leader. We had been warned that the ceremony was a serious occasion and that to laugh or even smile would be considered rude to the Tamaki. After that it was nonstop fun as they demonstrated their ancient customs and I received instruction in performing the haka, the war dance immortalized(使不朽) by the All Blacks rugby team.Then they pulled our dinner of lamb, beef and vegetables out of the ground. It had been slowcooked in the heat just below the surface in the geothermal(地热的) area of North Island, a Maori tradition known as a hangi that goes back an extremely long period of time.Obviously, this form of it is put on for tourists but it was hugely enjoyable. The journey back to the hotel was alone worth the effort, our elder Maori driver being deserving of his own television show. “The wheels on the bus go round and round，”he got us singing, while he circuited a round about three times.A couple of days from the end of our trip, there was still something missing, a New Zealand icon I wanted to see to make my grand tour complete. Riding over a ridge, there it was—Aotearoa. The Maori name for New Zealand translates as “the land of the long white cloud”. Can I say “Kia ora, Aotearoa？” You bet I can.【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了他去新西兰旅游时接触到的毛利文化。

Whenever something looks interesting or beautiful, there is a natural desire of us to capture(捕捉) and preserve it—which means, in this day and age, that we are likely to reach for our phones to take a picture.Though this would seem to be an ideal solution, there are two big problems associated with taking pictures. Firstly, we are likely to be so busy taking pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest encourage us to take a photograph in the first place. And secondly, because we feel the pictures are safely stored on our phones, we never get around to looking at them, so sure are we that we’ll get around to them one day.The first person to notice the problems was the English art critic(评论家), John Ruskin. He was a keen traveler who realized that mostthemselves on traveling around the whole Europe in a week by train, “No changing of places at a hundred miles an hour will make us stronger, happier, or wiser. There was always more in the world than men could see, if they ever walked slowly. The really precious things are thoughts and sights, not pace.”【解题导语】本文主要讨论了旅游中如何享受美景以及游客普遍存在的问题。

consequences.After all，there’s no substitute 9.for our Earth，so each person should take action to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide together with the governments 10.to_save(save) the Earth.Ⅰ.阅读理解I am a volunteer teacher in our local middle school.Recently,while working with my excellent student,I wrote him a note regarding an assignment he needed to work on.“Here,”I said,“keep this with you so you don’t forget.”He took the piece of paper and stared at it for a moment before commenting,“I can’t read this.”I wasn’t sure what he meant,so I examined the note.It was my best cursive(草书).It’s true,then.The news about schools no longer teaching handwriting.But I believe it is necessary for students to learn cursive.First,there continues to be a need to sign “hard copies”of documents.There is a sense of ceremony and a seriousness of purpose about the act of signing something.It calls to mind the signers of the Declaration of Independence.Just look at those signatures!John Hancock’s was so robust (遒劲的) and original that,morethan 200 years later,it still serves as the logo (标识) of a namesake (同名者) insurance company.And why not?It is a work of art.Second,a great part of the history of the United States is recorded in handwritten documents,including personal letters.If one has not been taught to write in cursive,it is unlikely that one will be able to read it.Third,and perhaps most important,when one is trying to learn something,somewhere in the process there must be a slow step.Writing in longhand is a means of slowing down enough to be able to think deeply about what one is penning.In times of budgetary trial,schools often jettison music and art instruction but keep dangerous football.If cursive joins those victims from the curriculum,then it will be the loss of yet one more outlet (发泄途径) through which students are able to say,“This is my mark.This is me.”I still remember in fifth grade,I once handed my finished work to Mrs.Shaw,my handwriting teacher.She looked at it,caught her breath,and said,“Oh,my.I think you’re going to be a writer someday.”Thank you,Mrs.Shaw,for seeing so much in my handwriting.I needed that push.1.The author’s student .A.knew few wordsB.didn’t study hardC.had poor eyesightD.couldn’t read cursive2.What do we know about John Hancock’s signature?A.It is hard to recognize.B.It is really appreciated.C.It is used illegally by a company.D.It was discovered in a personal letter.3.Which can best replace the underlined word “jettison”in Paragraph 7?A.Focus on.B.Get rid of.C.Depend on.D.Look down upon.4.To the author,Mrs.Shaw’s words were .A.quite interestingB.really confusingC.very encouragingD.pretty disappointingIn the dead of winter，we don't typically think about spending time outdoors，but according to many physicians we should.The sun is our greatest source of a vitamin that is essential for good health—Vitamin D.This important vitamin strengthens bones and teeth and is linked to the prevention of heart disease，cancer and many other lifethreatening diseases.The recommended daily requirement is 400600 International Units(IU)．In summer，people with dark brown eyes and darker skin turn sunlight from just 15 minutes outside without sunscreen into adequate amounts of Vitamin D.Even during winter，just a 10minute walk at midday can keep the body's Vitamin D at healthy levels.During brief winter walks，we receive the greatest benefits when we wear no sunscreen and expose as much skin to the sun as possible.Vitamin D can be also obtained from foods.Salmon is one of the best sources of the Vitamin.Egg yolks(蛋黄)，cheese，mushrooms and some animal organs contain smaller quantities of it.To attract consumers，food companies add Vitamin D to some of their milk products.The practice of putting the Vitamin into milk began in the 1930s.At that time，many children were suffering from rickets，an illness that is caused by a deficiency (缺乏)of Vitamin D．It made the children's bones soft and weak.Adding Vitamin D to milk helped to solve the problem，and it has been available ever since.For people who still need more Vitamin D，there is another option：Take Vitamin D supplements(补充物)．These products are widely sold in stores.However，anyone considering taking supplements should consult a physician first.1．During the winter months，people ________.A．aren't able to meet their deadlinesB．often don't dress warmly enoughC．generally like to remain indoorsD．leave lots of work for others to do2．According to the text，Vitamin D ________.A．can be obtained by being exposed to the sunB．can be used to cure lifethreatening diseasesC．can be mainly found in some milk productsD．can make the children's bones soft and weak3．Why is salmon mentioned in this article?A．It's seldom prepared in the correct way.B．It's a useful addition to a person's diet.C．It has a huge impact on the environment.D．Its advantages have been exaggerated.4．The main purpose of this article is ________.A．to introduce a valuable nutrientB．to advertise Vitamin D supplementsC．to note risks associated with a nutrientD．to explain how a nutrient was discovered【解题导语】本文是一篇科普文，主要介绍了维生素D的一些情况。

The software, called Nestor, is used in two online classes at the ESG business school beginning in September.The idea, according to LCA founder Marcel Saucet, is to use the data that Nestorcollects to improve the performance of both students and professors. The software uses students webcams （网络摄像机）to analyze eye movements and facial expressions and determine whether students are paying attention to a video lecture. It then formulates quizzes based on the content covered during moments of inattentiveness. Professors would also be able to identify moments when students ' attention declin ed, which could help to improve their teaching, Saucet says.Advocates for AI in education say that the software is actually unable to teacha course, but the technology could be used as a digital tutor that would adapt to astudent 's individual needs, and help develop more effective studying habits. Suchsoftware could also help teachers by providing feedback on the effectiveness of their teaching, advocates say.Saucet says Nestor won 't store any of the video footage it gets and that hiscompany has no plans to sell any other data the software collects. In addition to facial recognition and analysis, the software can integrate （合并）with students ' calendars to suggest possible study times, and track their online behavior to pick up on patterns.Rose Luckin, a professor at the University College London Knowledge Lab, says AI could unlock the “black box of learning ” by providing information on how and whenlearning happens. Luckin says a program like Nestor could be useful for students whotake classes remotely, since “there isn 't a human there watching them. ” And while some are concerned that AI may one day replace teachers, Luckin sees the technology more as an assistant, rather than a replacement. Saucet agrees.“Human contact isnot going to go away,he says. “There will always be professors.1. How does Nestor work to find out when students aren ' t paying attention?A. By collecti ng the data of stude nts ' performa nee in differe nt classes.B. By collecting the students ' grades in the quizzes.C.
