四川省成都市2016届高考英语阅读理解二轮提升训练（14）（含解析）

　　【2016高考训练】阅读理解—词义猜测题、观点态度题。

　　Grammarphobia is the fear of grammar. This fear attacks almost everybody at one time or another, and it's most likely to strike during English or language arts. Even people who love reading and writing have been known to get feverish and insecure when they are aware of the possibility of turning in homework with grammar or spelling mistakes. Though writing may be enjoyable, being corrected is definitely not!

　　Grammarphobes, it's time to put your fears behind you. Grammar isn't that dreadful(可怕的). Here's why.

　　Let's assume you like hearing and telling stories and that you enjoy joking with friends. You probably also like e-mailing and instant-messaging. Well , what do you think makes all these possible? Grammar!

　　Grammar is simply the art of putting words together to make sentences. Whenever you use words to express yourself, you're using grammar. You do this all the time without even thinking.

　　So why think about it? Because good grammar helps you convey the ideas you intend. If your words aren't right, or if they are not in the right order, the person you are talking to might get the wrong idea. This can have embarrassing results.

　　Grammar helps us understand each other. It's like a manual for assembling the words in your head. You have to put your words together the right way if you want them to make sense. They can't do what you want is they aren't put together correctly.

　　What if everybody you know had a different manual? How would you agree on what others' words mean? People with different grammar manuals might be speaking different languages.

　　Communicating is similar to playing cards. To make sense, we have to play the same game, by the same rules. What are the rules for playing the game of English? You already know most of them without having to open a book.

　　Grammarphobes refer to people who

　　.

　　Mind grammar too much in writing

　　Are afraid of making grammar mistakes

　　Consider grammar to be boring

　　Are worried about grammar homework

　　The underlined word “assembling” in Paragraph 6 may mean

　　.

　　Looking for

　　B. bringing together

　　C. remembering

　　D. directing

　　What does playing cards have in common with communicating?

　　Both can be learned easily

　　Both can be very interesting

　　Both need rules.

　　Both can make sense for our life.

　　What might be the main idea of the passage?

　　Improving grammar through writing.

　　Forgetting grammar when writing.

　　Grammar is not horrible.

　　What is grammarphobia?

　　语篇解读

　　本文是说明文，谈到了学生为之色变的语法。患有语法恐惧症的人，要认识到语法就像游戏规则一样是必须存在的，它可以帮助我们平时的交流和学习，所以没有必要对此感到恐惧。

　　B 细节理解题。第一段指出grammarphobia 是对语法的恐惧，第二段倡导grammarphobes不要害怕语法，由此可知，grammarphobes是指那些害怕语法的人，故选B。

　　B 词义扒测题。结合后面一句的“You have to put your words together the right way” 及下一句中的“… if they aren't put together correctly”可知，语法就像帮助人们把头脑中的词汇合在一起的操作指南，故选B。

　　C 细节理解题。这里把 交流和打扑克做了比较，认为它们相似的原因是无论是打扑克还是交流都必须遵循一定的规则，没有规则的话，就达不到沟通或娱乐的目的，故选C。

　　C 主旨大意题。本文开头得到人们害怕语法，害怕出现语法错误，而作者认为语法的存在是合理的，我们学习语言必须遵循一定的规则，所以没有必要对语法感到恐惧，因此C项符合题意。

　　阅读理解。

　　阅读理解

　　As a professor at a large American university，I often hear a phrase from students：“I’m only a 1050.” The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)，which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice，or even have a chance to get a higher education at all.The SAT score，whether it is 800,1100 or 1550，has become the focus at this time of their life.

　　It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores，then a great amount of their self­respect is put in the number.Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over.The low test score，they think，will make it impossible for them to get into a good college.And without a degree from a_prestigious_university，they fear that many of life’s doors will remain forever closed.

　　According to a study done in the 1990s，the SAT is only a reliable indicator of a student’s future performance in most cases.Interestingly，it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicators—like a student’s high school grades.Even if standardized tests like the SAT could show a student’s academic proficiency(学业水平)，they will never be able to test things like confidence，efforts and will power，and are unable to give us the full picture of a student’s potentialities(潜力).This is not to suggest that we should stop using SAT scores in our college admission process.The SAT is an excellent test in many ways，and the score is still a useful means of testing students.However，it should be only one of many methods used.

　　1.The purpose of the SAT is to test students’________.

　　A.strong willB.academic ability

　　C.full potentialities

　　D.confidence in school work

　　2.Students’ self­respect is influenced by their________.

　　A.scores in the SAT

　　B.achievements in mathematics

　　C.job opportunities

　　D.money spent on education

　　3.The underlined phrase “a prestigious university” probably means “________”.

　　A.a famous university

　　B.a technical university

　　C.a traditional university

　　D.an expensive university

　　4.This passage is mainly about________.

　　A.how to prepare for the SAT

　　B.stress caused by the SAT

　　C.American higher education

　　D.the SAT and its effects
