　　重庆市2017高考英语阅读理解选编（96）（附解析）

　　【2015高考复习】阅读理解Most people watching Jeremy Lin these past two months saw Jeremy Lin，New York Knicks star；but I，watching him，saw someone else.That was my elder brother，Bob，who is athletic and energetic.He could never sit still when he was in second grade；he had to get up every now and then and run around the room.And sure enough，he grew up to be a starting player for an NCAA championship lacrosse (长曲棍球) team.He

　　was

　　a Nike­endorsed marathoner，too，and reached the top of Mt.Everest，unguided，in his 50s.

　　And yet my family never watched his lacrosse games.We did watch some of his marathons，but that wasn’t until he was in his

　　20s.When

　　Bob

　　was

　　in

　　his

　　glory

　　days，our Shanghainese­born parents were bent on getting him into medical school.There was a loving aspect to it：I can remember my father working through math books with him，lesson by lesson，at the big blackboard in the attic.Bob never did become a doctor，though；and neither did I．It wasn’t until my younger sister came along that someone in the family finally wore a white coat.

　　Bob today could be the fittest 58­year­old on the planet.His doctor estimates his biological age at 35；he’s still big mountains in the Himalayas.And，like Jeremy Lin，he’s charming.No one sees Bob without leaving with a laugh.He sometimes jokes he could be mayor of his building，and it’s true.To know him is to cheer for him.

　　And yet my parents did not cheer for him.What if my mother had sat on the sidelines with her statistics，like Jeremy Lin’s mother？What if my father had played videos of athletes for my brother to watch and imitate？It’s hard not to wonder.

　　And how did Jeremy Lin’s parents manage to do these remarkable things？Amy Chua，the tiger mother，recalls her immigrant

　　father

　　beating

　　the

　　kids

　　whenever

　　they mispronounced a Chinese word.How is it that Jeremy Lin’s immigrant father in particular，Gie­Ming Lin，encouraged his son to follow such an untraditional path?

　　【语篇解读】　林书豪的成功，使人们开始反思什么是最合适的教育方式。家长是应该把自己的意愿强加给孩子还是发挥孩子的特长呢？

　　A．when he was doing well in math

　　B．when he was in second grade

　　C．when he was made mayor of his building

　　阅读理解Mention the terms Italian Culture and Renaissance Art and one is immediately reminded of the mysterious smile of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.

　　The renaissance period had a deep effect on European culture development. Having its beginnings in Italy, by the 16th century, it had spread to the rest of Europe. Its influence was felt in different fields such as philosophy, literature, religion, science, politics, and, of course, art. The scholars of the renaissance period applied the humanist method in every field of study, and wanted human emotion and realism in art.

　　Renaissance scholars studied the ancient Latin and Greek texts, searching the monastic(修道院的)libraries of Europe for works of ancient times that had become obscure, in their hunt for improving and perfecting their worldly knowledge. This was completely different from the religion that Christianity(基督教)stressed. However, that does not mean that they refused Christianity. In fact, much of the greatest works of the renaissance period was devoted to it, with the church supporting a lot of the works of renaissance art. However, there were slight changes in the manner in which the scholars began to treat religion, which affected the cultural life of the society, which in turn influenced the artists of that period and therefore was reflected in their art.

　　In Raphael’s School of Athens, for example, some well-known people were described as classical scholars, with Leonardo da Vinci being given as much importance as Plato in his time. Giotto di Bondone, 1267—1337, a Florentine, who is regarded as the greatest Italian painter just earlier than the renaissance period, is thought to be the first artist who treated a painting as a window into space.

　　However, it was only after the writings of Filippo Brunelleschi, 1377—1446, who is considered the first great builder of the Italian Renaissance, that perspective was formally accepted as an artistic technique.

　　【文章大意】文章介绍了文艺复兴的发源地意大利在当时的背景下的文化特色和相关艺术家在这个时期的作用。

　　1. What makes Italy stand out in a way in world history?

　　A. Its artists during the Renaissance were numerous.

　　B. It was the center of the European countries.

　　C. It had Leonardo da Vinci’sMona Lisa.

　　D. It was the home to the Renaissance.

　　【解析】选D。推理判断题。第二段第二句话的beginnings in Italy, by the 16th century, it had spread to the rest of Europe说明意大利正是文艺复兴的发源地, 从而影响整个欧洲。

　　2. The underlined word“obscure”in Paragraph 3 most probably means“　”.

　　A. meaningless and hard to recognize

　　B. clear and meaningful to guide people

　　C. unclear and difficult to understand or see

　　D. easy to understand but having little meaning

　　【解析】选C。词义猜测题。该题根据语境结合选项进行猜测。句中的the monastic说明这些资料的来源, 和宗教有关的应该是较难理解的, works of ancient times也说明了这一点。

　　3. When was perspective officially received during the Renaissance?

　　A. After the completion of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.

　　B. After Leonardo da Vinci’s being compared to Plato.

　　C. After Giotto di Bondone’s paintings were respected.

　　D. After Filippo Brunelleschi’s completing his writings.

　　【解析】选D。细节理解题。最后一段的强调结构里的被强调部分就是本题的解题线索。

　　A. Italy’s renaissance art and artists

　　B. the famous artists in Italy’s history

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Working women make up nearly half of the U.S. workforce, and 51 percent of professional workers, like doctors, lawyers, nurses and accountants, are female. While climbing the career ladder can be rewarding, it often comes with one big downside: weight gain!

　　New research published this week in the International Journal of Obesity shows that working women are more likely to be overweight, and the more you work, the more pounds you’re likely to pile on. Like many women, I work... a lot! As a self-employed nutrition communications specialist, I sit at my desk, in front of a computer, for hours on end. Sitting alone is one of the worst things you can do for your health, and it’s directly linked to being overweight and increased fatness, so the fact that women in the workforce gain weight isn’t that surprising. If you work, you have less time to move around. Obesity（肥胖症）researchers are revealing many other ways that employment is harmful to your diet and waistline.

　　In the International Journal of Obesity study, some 9,276 Australian women aged 45-50 had their body weight and employment status monitored for two years. Results? Those who worked more than 35 hours were likely to gain weight compared to those who worked fewer hours or were out of the workforce. What’s more, the more hours a woman worked in a week, the more weight she gained.

　　The authors of the Australian study attribute weight gain among working women to inactivity, lack of time for food preparation, more use of prepared foods, high levels of stress, lack of sleep and consuming more alcohol. I’ll also add in travel, meals eaten out and working at night as other factors that I can find to make balancing work with a healthy diet a challenge.

　　1. The text above is probably taken from ______.

　　A. a sports report

　　B. a fashion journal

　　C. a health and fitness magazine

　　D. an advertisement post

　　2. A woman who works as an accountant is more likely to ______.

　　A. gain more weight

　　B. have more time to move around

　　C. work a full time job

　　D. keep a balanced diet

　　3. Which is NOT the cause of working women weight gaining according to the passage？

　　A. Lacking time for food preparation. B. Using more prepared food.

　　C. Consuming too much alcohol.

　　D. Taking part in more activities.

　　4. What can be a suitable title for the test?

　　A. Less activity leads to fat.

　　B. Ways of gaining weight.

　　C. Effects of weight gaining.

　　D. Working women more likely pile on pounds.

　　Tasha Tudor(August 28,1919—June 18,2008)was an American illustrator(插画家)and writer of children’s books.She received many awards and honors for her contributions to children’s literature.When people talk about her creativity in artwork,she said,“I do it to support my dogs and my four children.” Her great publishing record,the number of magazine stories that have been written about her over the years,and her admirers have no effects on her at all.

　　Much of Tasha’s artwork and her reading are done in the wintertime.“I love winter.It’s delightful,” she says.“I don’t have to go anywhere because I work at home.If I’m snowed in,I can stay this way for months.” She hopes for early,deep snow to protect her garden from the hardship of the New England winter,and when it comes she puts on snowshoes when she needs to get down the mile-long dirt path that leads to the road.

　　Given her enjoyment of winter and her fantasy way of life,it’s not surprising that Tasha’s Christmas is a storybook holiday.She hangs flowers over the front door.Her tree comes from the woods,and it goes up on Christmas Eve,lit by homemade candles and decorated with her great-grandmother’s collection that dates from 1850.In a place of honor on the tree are large cookies cut into the shapes of her animals.

　　The grandchildren and friends get presents from Tasha’s old dolls;so do the animals and they have their own Christmas tree.“Of course,it’s a known fact that all the animals talk on Christmas Eve,” she has written.Small,handmade gifts fill a big wooden box.At the end of each year,Tasha can look back and know that her life is perfect,that she has again ignored the twentieth century,and that the magic continues.And for the rest of us,here’s a bit of advice,Tasha says:“Nowadays,people are so restless.If they took some tea and spent more time rocking on the porch(门廊)in the evening listening to light music,they might enjoy life more.”
