.阅读理解
(2014·安徽师大附中高三模拟)An older friend once gave me a piece of advice, “Enjoy the last few weeks of college，” she said, “since college is the best time of your life.”
This was not the first time I'd heard such a statement, but with graduation fast coming close, her words especially struck me. It seemed a bit disappointing to reach one's life peak at only 22 years of age, but in her opinion, college had been one of the best times in my life so far. I made friends, took classes, and learned a great deal about myself. But I was also excited for the time after college — moving to a new city, starting a new job, and becoming a “real” person. I hoped that my great dreams were practical.
Then, last week I read a column in Real Simple Magazine called 100 Years of Attitude, in which women 100 years or older shared their life experiences and views. I noticed that none of them considered college as the “best” time of their life. Not all of them went to college, but still in most cases their teens and twenties were not the best times of their life. They said some of their favorite times were raising their children, traveling after retirement, and even enjoying their present time and age.
Enjoying one's present time and age was a clear theme of the interviews. A piece of advice given by the women was about the importance of making the best of all situations. I think it more accurate than that of my friend; I can say with certainty that if I am lucky enough to make it to 100. I refuse to spend the last 80 years of my life plummeting (跌落) downhill, or even leveling off.
I am sure that our eagerness and devotion will make us college students live a meaningful life. We will not just look backwards or miss our college days. We will look forward in excitement about continued journey uphill.
1．Which of the following opinions does the writer agree with?
A．College is the best time of one's life.
B．Twenties were the best time of the old people.
C．One should make the best of all situations.
D．One should not look backwards at their college time.
2．In the second paragraph, the writer wants to say ________.
A．her achievements in college would be the peak of her success
B．she is looking forward to living as a “real” person in college
C．she becomes more and more uneasy with graduation
D．she is satisfied with the college life but is hopeful for the future
3．The column the writer read is mainly about those old women's ________.
A．best time of life at youth
B．life experiences and views
C．different opinions about life
D．favorite time with best friends
4．By saying “I refuse to spend the last 80 years of my life plummeting (跌落) downhill, or even leveling off” (in Paragraph 4), the writer really means ________.
A．she will not spend the rest of her time at college
B．she will not just obtain a college level certificate
C．she will not be satisfied with what she has already accomplished
D．She will not be content with the life in the future
5．Which of the following words can be used to describe the writer?
A．Ambitious.B．Practical.
C．Imaginative.
D．Proud.
答案
Ⅰ.1.选C 根据第二句答语“It'll be safe with me”可知，答话人同意为对方看着她的包，故用go ahead表示“去吧”。go ahead“(尤指经某人允许后)开始做；着手干”。
2．选B 句意：看到周日特写专栏第一页上的照片，我感到很气愤。be disgusted to do sth.“很生气做某事”，不定式作原因状语。
3．选C hardly ... when ...，表示“一……就……”；当hardly位于句首时，主句要用部分倒装，且主句要用过去完成时。分析句子结构可知应选C。
4．选B 句意：他的早期作品，主要是以传统的中国风格创作的，反映了中国东部的自然风光。sight指眼睛所看到的景象；scenery指自然风光；view指从某处俯视的情景；scene指特定环境的景色。
5．选B 句意：虽然史蒂芬·霍金关于黑洞的理论有点抽象，但已被世界上大多数人所接受。abstract“抽象的”，符合句意。realistic“现实的”； contemporary“同时代的，当代的”；appropriate“恰当的”。
6．选B 句意：我们都喜欢那种氛围，在其中我们能以一种友好的方式进行交流。the atmosphere是先行词，表示抽象的地点，应用where。
7．选A 句意：我不知道工人们要多久才能建完这座桥。It takes sb. some time to do sth.“做某事花费某人多长时间”。
8．选A 把found后面的成分变为陈述语序应该是a girl along with her parents was lying on the ground，主语是a girl，所以谓语动词用单数；lying与地点状语on the ground提前，后面应该用全部倒装，故选A。
9．选C commit oneself to“承诺……”，其中to是介词，后跟名词、代词或动名词作宾语，故选C。
10．选B 句意：汤姆的好心没有得到任何回报，这使他非常伤心。in reward for为固定搭配，“作为……的报酬”；which在此引导非限制性定语从句，意为“这/那”，先行词为前面整个句子。as引导非限制性定语从句时表示“正如，就像”，与句意不符。
11．选B 句意：虽然他对那份工作的报酬不满意，但是他为了得到一些工作经验还是接受了它。在让步状语从句中，可以将从句中的表语提前，构成“表语＋though/as＋主语＋...”结构。
12．选C 句意：2013年10月台风菲特袭击了浙江省，结果造成严重的水灾。此处用非谓语动词作结果状语，而且是表示一种必然性的结果，故选C。
13．选B 句意：因为我无硬币可投了，所以我的电话被中途切断了。cut off“切断”，符合句意。break in“强行进入，插嘴”，是不及物动词短语，不能用于被动语态；hang up“挂断电话”；put down“取下，写下”。
14．选A 句意：作为华夏文明的发源地，西安是一座拥有悠久历史和丰富的文化底蕴的城市。birthplace后面有of短语作其后置定语，且“发源地”具有唯一性，故birthplace在本句中表特指，用定冠词the；第二空后的city为可数名词，但“拥有悠久历史和丰富的文化底蕴”的城市并非只有西安，故第二空应该表泛指，需用不定冠词。
15．选B 句意：为了找到最适合该土壤的农作物，Johnson博士和他的助手们正在试验各种各样的谷物。“名词＋as well as＋名词(代词)”结构，其谓语动词应根据as well as前面的名词来确定，故可排除A、C两项；由语境可知，此处应用主动语态，故选B。
Ⅱ.语篇解读：有时你只是做了一件你不想做的事，就可以有很大的变化。
1．选C 结合语境可知，作者在此处谈论的是加入Madcaps俱乐部的感受，故C项正确。
2．选A 句中的But表明有了一番经历之后，作者认为应该敞开心扉，故选should。
3．选B 因为最终你可能从中得到享受。might/may just表示“可能，也许”。
4．选D 根据上文的“assisting philanthropies (慈善事业)”可知，此处应选volunteer，表示“义务做，自愿做”。
5．选D 根据上下文内容可知，此时作者不喜欢做这份慈善工作。this just could not be worse是否定词与比较级连用的形式，表示最高级的含义，意为“这真是最糟的了”。
6．选A 在厨房里，我们遇到了Madcaps俱乐部的其他48个成员。where在句中作地点状语。
7．选C 上文的“but she was not there”说明此时作者是孤单一人，故选alone。
8．选D 根据下文可知，此处表示负责人来了，故选charge。
9．选A 根据6空前面的the kitchen可知此处应选A。
10．选C 作者的妈妈被叫到厨房外面洗盘子，留下作者和其他人一块儿提供食物。serve food表示“提供食物”。
11．选B 根据4空后面的homeless可知B项正确。
12．选D 作者在给这些无家可归的家庭分发食物，故选D项。hold out sth.表示“递出东西，提供东西”。
13．选C 根据“she nodded”可知，小女孩接受食物的时候点头表示感谢，故选C。
14．选A 下文列举的the top school、a great house、a warm meal都是作者所拥有的，故选had。
15．选C 是那个小女孩让作者意识到了自己有多幸运。故选C。
16．选A 根据上下文可知，从那时起，作者的内心发生了变化。
17．选C 句中的“now have many friends”说明作者克服了社交障碍，故选got over。
18．选A 今年，“我”相信“我”会做比要求的20个小时还要多的慈善工作，more than符合语境。
19．选D 2空后面的“open up your mind to things”是线索提示，故D项正确。
20．选B “我”相信，有时你只是做一件你不想做的事，就可以有很大的变化。by doing ...在句中作方式状语。
Ⅲ.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。都说大学是人生最辉煌的时光，但文中的作者却给出了不同的观点。
1．选C 细节理解题。根据文章第四段第二、三句“A piece of advice given by the women ... making the best of all situations. I think it more accurate than that of my friend ...”可知，答案C符合文意。
2．选D 段落大意题。根据文章第二段最后三句可知，作者对现在的大学生活很满意，但同时对未来也充满了期待，故答案D符合文意。
3．选B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句中的“... in which women 100 years or older shared their life experiences and views”可知，答案B正确。
4．选C 句意理解题。根据对文章最后一段的整体理解可知，作者并不满足现有的成就，而是要继续下去，把整个人生都活得精彩、生动。由此可推知，答案C符合文意。
5．选A 推理判断题。根据对文章的整体理解，尤其是最后一段可推知，作者是一个不满足于现状的年轻人，是一个积极进取的人。故答案A“有抱负的”符合文意。
