　　2016年陕西汉中市高考英语二轮阅读理解选练（18）（含答案）

　　阅读理解I’ve spent over a year in India, and in those 365 plus days, I’ve learned a lot about getting around Indian cities. My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated, particularly by taxi and rickshaw(人力车)drivers, but that doesn’t mean those are bad ways to travel, as long as you know what you’re doing. Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi, India, and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams(欺诈).

　　Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are, if you arrive in Delhi by plane, as soon as you make it through customs, you’ll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers. At the Delhi airport, be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths. One is inside the airport, and one is outside. The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police, rather than by independent taxi drivers.

　　Rickshaws are one of my favorite ways to get around Indian cities, in part because it’s how the locals often travel. Auto-rickshaws are more common, but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi. If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw, you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees. Auto-rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees, depending on distance.

　　If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals, take a public bus. Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning. They are, however, very cheap. A bus trip won’t set you back any more than 15 rupees, as long as you stay within the city limits. Since Indian buses get so crowded, try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.

　　The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi. Fares are reasonable, between 6 and 22 rupees. All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English, and tokens can be purchased for between 6 and 22 rupees.

　　It’s 5:00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is of my face. It’s not a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.

　　Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother’s chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it’s okay to just say “no.” I shouldn’t feel sorry for refusing food that I don’t want to eat.

　　So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say to ice cream?

　　Commitment.

　　A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self –confidence and energy, extends life and above all improve my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It’s through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.

　　参考答案1---4 BCDC

　　阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

　　When Peng Liyuan stepped off the plane in Moscow, the whole world wanted to know who dressed the elegant first lady. The reporter released the secret—Ma Ke.

　　Peng Liyuan has been wearing Ma Ke’s designs for more than a decade, a fact that was only highlighted recently when she was on her first state visit, accompanying her husband—President Xi Jinping. The elegant and attractive Peng, formerly a popular singer, has been compared with the US’ first lady Michelle Obama and France’s Carla Bruni-Sarkzy, since stepping off the airplane in Moscow on March 22. Suddenly, everyone was curious to know more about the first lady’s wardrobe.

　　Even so, Ma prefers a low-key approach. “If you eat a tasty egg why would you want to see the hen? ”she says of all the media attention.

　　Ma’s relationship with Peng began 10 years ago after a concert in Guangzhou when a reporter told Peng she knew the designer behind the label Exception de Mixmind. Peng asked for an introduction because she was a fan of Ma’s designs and had been wearing them for years.

　　The two naturally became friends. Ma says, “The painting reflects the painter, and clothes reflect both the designer and the wearer. Someone desires fame and wealth, or love and sympathy; what you have in your heart is reflected in the design. Those who don’t share my philosophy won’t buy my clothes. Peng is a caring person, devoted to charity and environmental protection, which is exactly what I’m doing now. ”

　　However, regardless of the brand, Peng’s support of Chinese labels has surprised millions of Chinese who favor foreign fashion brands.

　　“Instead she presented a vision of Chinese fashion, desiring to bring Chinese designers to the world stage, ”says a western designer.

　　The first lady’s double-breasted coat and her black leather handbag aren’t available at any of Exception’s shops, though Exception’s physical stores do have seen a rising number of visitors.

　　【文章大意】第一夫人彭丽媛第一次陪同习主席出国访问, 她一身高贵优雅的服装吸引了世人的目光, 服装设计师马可也从幕后走了出来。

　　1. The passage mainly discusses　.

　　A. the designer of the first lady Peng Liyuan’s dress, Ma Ke

　　B. the friendship between Peng Liyuan and her designer

　　C. Peng Liyuan’s clothes on her first state visit

　　D. the reactions to Peng Liyuan’s first visit to Moscow

　　【解析】选A。主旨大意题。本题的答案主要依据文章第一段, 因为此为资讯类题材, 其主旨或标题不在概括全文, 而是最吸引人的部分, 尤其是最后一句The reporter released the secret—Ma Ke. (记者揭开了主设计师马可的面纱), 此句由reporter亦可判断是一则资讯。

　　. In the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 Ma Ke mentioned“an egg and the hen”to show　.

　　A. it is hard to explain“which came first, the egg or the hen? ”

　　B. paying such great attention to her was unnecessary

　　C. the outcome was more important than the process

　　D. her dissatisfaction with the media attention on her dress

　　【解析】选B。推理判断题。在第三段提到马可说的这句话, 再结合前一句中Ma prefers a low-key approach可以看出马可是一个低调的人, 即对应答案B。选项A说鸡和蛋谁先出现, 属于无关选项, 可排除; 选项C说结果比过程重要, 和马可的为人不符合, 也不能推出; D说表达不满, 不合文意。

　　. In the passage, Peng Liyuan　.

　　A. often reflects on what she has in her heart before choosing clothes

　　B. is sympathetic and has a strong environmental consciousness

　　C. always desires the exceptional charm of the brand

　　D. is knowledgeable in philosophy

　　【解析】选B。推理判断题。第五段中Peng is a caring person, devoted to charity and environmental protection正好对应选项B中的有同情心的和强烈的环保意识。

　　. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

　　A. Peng wears the dress designed by a Chinese designer probably to support Chinese brands.

　　B. Many citizens found Peng Liyuan’s choice quite unexpected.

　　C. Black leather handbags like Peng’s are widely sold in bag stores in big cities.

　　D. After Peng Liyuan’s visit to Moscow Ma Ke’s clothes became more popular.

　　【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据最后一段中The first lady’s double-breasted coat and her black leather handbag aren’t available at any of Exception’s shops可知选项C是错的, 即应选C
