Ⅳ.阅读理解
[2017·兰州、靖远名校高三模拟考试]
Steve was blue collar；my collar was white.He was union；I was management.He worked with molten steel；I slaved over a hot word processor.He worked different shifts at different time.My job was strictly 9to5.However, we lived in the same neighborhood，and we went to the same church.I knew his family，and he knew mine.We could talk openly with each other，and we usually did.
One day I was taking some VIPs on a tour of the steel mill at which we were both employed and I saw him out by the blast furnace. He was covered with sweat and soot as he worked confidently just a few feet from metal, so hot that a
miscue(失误) would melt him, me and the tour van I was driving —instantly.
“I don't know how you do that，” I told him when I saw him at church the following Sunday. “It's so hot up there，even in the dead of winter. And if you make a mistake, people die. How do you handle the pressure？”
He scoffed at my question.
“It's no big deal，” he said.
“I've been doing this for years.
The furnace pretty much runs itself. I'm_just_there_for_the_ride.”
“Well, I'm glad it's you and not me，” I said. “I couldn't do what you do.”
A few weeks later, Steve and his crew came into the office to pick up some tickets for a football game the company was sponsoring. I was on a tight deadline to deliver some advertising copy, so after I greeted Steve, I returned to my computer to continue working while my staff took care of the tickets.
After a few minutes of tiptiptapping on my keyboard,
I had that funny,
awkward feeling that I had an audience.
I glanced up and saw Steve leaning against the wall，watching me.
“I don't know how you do that，”he said.“There's so much stuff going on up here.I don't know how you keep track of everything.And if you make a mistake，millions of people are going to hear it on the radio.How do you handle the pressure？”
I scoffed at his question，even though it sounded eerily familiar.“It's no big deal，”I said.“I've been doing this for years.Most of this stuff writes itself.I'm just here to make sure it all gets to the right places on time.”
“Well，I'm glad it's you and not me，”Steve said.“I couldn't do what you do.”
It wasn't until Steve left the office that I realized we had pretty much had the exact same conversation twice—once with regard to his work and once with regard to mine.Without even trying，Steve and I had stumbled on a simple fact of life in the workplace：it takes all kinds.
1．It can be learned from the first paragraph that Steve and the author________.
A．worked for different companies
B．had obviously different jobs
C．worked in shifts at different time
D．argued at times，but got along well
2．What does the underlined sentence mean?
A．No one could do this work except Steve.
B．Steve's job was a bit dangerous.
C．It was an easy job for Steve.
D．Steve was good at handling pressure.
3．Why was the author busy on his keyboard when Steve came for tickets?
A．He had to deliver sales reports.
B．He was engaged in an advertising copy.
C．He was organizing a football game.
D．He was on a tight deadline to create a report.
4．What could be the best title of the text?
A．It's No Big Deal
B．Every Man Has His Strengths
C．Make a Difference in Jobs
D．It Takes All Kinds
[文章大意] 作者通过讲述他与朋友在同一家公司上班的故事告诉读者一个简单的道理——社会需要各种各样的工作。
1．B。考查推理判断。 从第一段内容可知，史蒂夫与钢水打交道，作者与文字处理打交道，可见他们的工作明显不同。
2．C。 考查推理判断。 由第四段中的信息“It's no big deal” “I've been doing
this for years.The furnace pretty much runs itself.”可知，史蒂夫认为自己可以轻松驾驭这份工作。
3．B。考查细节理解。根据第六段中的信息“I was on a tight deadline to
deliver some advertising copy,
so
after I greeted
Steve,
I returned to my
computer to continue working”可知，作者忙于做广告文案。
4．D。考查推理判断。作者在最后一段对自己与Steve的两次对话进行了思考，认识到一个简单的事实：it takes all kinds(需要各种各样的工作)，所以最佳标题为D项。
