【2016高考训练题】阅读理解—主旨大意题、标题概括题。
Shami is a spy working for MI5, the British domestic security service. Recently he was interviewed by the BBC for the now TV documentary series. Modern Spies.
Shami isn't his real name and in the interview his face was in shadow, so you couldn't identify him, but he spoke about his job and what motivates him.
The interviewer asked Shami if he has any hesitation about spying on other people. “No, not at all,” replied Shami. “I know why I'm doing it . I'm trying to prebent something major occurring which could lead to loss of life . That's my biggest motivation.”
Asked how he felt when he was doing a spying activity, Shami replied,” Excited. You feel a lot of pressure, but you understand the task in hand and how serious it is. You are thinking about potential dangers which might be a threat to yourself.” Shami admitted that his biggest fear was missing a vital piece of information, something that would go on to cause loss of life.
Shami said that there were some other intelligence officers working at MI5's London headquarters. Spies like him are out on the ground while the others' job is to analyze intelligence from a variety of different sources. He pointed out that vital pieces come from human sources of agents from within suspected terrorist organizations—a standard plotline in Hollywood movies, but he thought 007 was pure fantasy.” The key element of the James Bond myth is that we are some kind of illegal organization—that's not the case. And I certainly wouldn't be the kind of lone wolf in the films.”
Motivates Shami to carry out his job.
To spy on people
To prevent loss of life
To analyze important information
To get excitement from danger
It can be learned from the passage that
Shami once missed some important information
Shami is rarely stressed out when dong a task
The film 007 was a reflection of Shami's real life
MI5 is a legal organization
The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means
Shami never felt lonely because he could see films
Shami was not the leading actor in the film
Shami worked on a team rather than single-handedly
Shami needed the help of a wolf for his job
What can be the best title for the text?
A Real-Life Spy
B. Modern Spies
C. Spy Movies
D. Comparison on Spies
语篇解读
本文是篇记叙文。主要讲述的是现实生活中的一个间谍的故事。
B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I know why I'm doing it I'm trying to prevent something major occurring which could lead to loss of life. That's my biggest motivation.”可知B项正确。
D 推理判断题。根据最后一段倒数第二句可知，D项符合文意
C 句意理解题。 根据最后一段可知，不同的间谍分工不同：有的负责在总部分析情报，有的则在外执行任务。任务的完成是大家共同合作的结果，而不是像电影里詹姆斯·邦德一样单枪匹马完成任务。
A 标题概括题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述的是现实生活中的一个间谍，而非大多数人印象中的电影里的间谍。故选A项最适合本文的标题。
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
If you look for a book as a present for a child，you will be spoiled for choice even in a year there is no new Harry Patten.
J.K Rowling’s wizard is not alone .The past decade has been a harvest for good children’s books ,which has set off a large quantity of films and an increased sales of classics such as The lard of the Rings.
Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children .According to statistics in 1997, 23% said they didn’t like reading at all. In 2003, 35% didn’t. And around 6% of the children leave primary school each year unable to read properly.
Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computes games. Maybe the books boom has affected only the top of the educational pile. Either way, Chancellor Cordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class .In his pre-budget report, he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most.
Reading Recovery is aimed at six year olds, who receive four months of individual daily half-hour classes with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation this year reported that children on the school made 20 months’ progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months’ progress ,and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.
International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school, they read well ,but read text often for fun than those elsewhere .Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on reading can report lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success . According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.
1．Which of the following is true of Paragraph 1?
A．Many children’s books have been adapted from films.
B．Many high-quality children’s books have been published.
C．The sales of classics have led to the popularity of films.
D．The sales of presents for children have increased.
2．Statistics suggested that .
A．the number of top students increased with the use of computers
B．a decreasing number of
children showed interest in reading
C．a minority of primary school children read properly
D．a huge percentage of children read regularly
．What do we know about Reading Recovery?
A．An evaluation of it will be made sometime this year.
B．Weak readers on the project were the most hardworking.
C．It aims to train special teachers to help children with reading.
D．Children on the project showed noticeable progress in reading.
4．Reading for fun is important because book-loving children _________.
A．take greater advantage of the project
B．show the potential to enjoy a long life
C．are likely to succeed in their education.
D．would make excellent future researchers
．The aim of this text would probably be _________.

B．to encourage the publication of more children’s books
C．to remind children of the importance of reading for fun
D．to introduce a way to improve early children reading
