　　阅读理解—推理判断题。

　　(2015年湖北省黄冈中学等三校联考)

　　I remember the first time that I was about 8 years old when for the first time, there was a computer in the classroom. I remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns to play various educational games on the computer. One day, I found the source code for one of these games. Without knowing or being taught any programming language, I was able to figure out some of the BASIC code. I just gave myself a limitless number of lives in the game, so I could continue playing it forever. This was also my first introduction to algebra, and I didn't even know it at the time. This was a decisive moment in my life. I was quite excited because of what I was learning and what I was able to do. As a result, I was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self-learning and computers, and I was quite happy doing them too.

　　I've noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do. This enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. It also leads to self-confidence and content in life too. It may also lead to success, wealth and achievements.

　　Success, wealth or achievements can also bring some people happiness, yet I know plenty of rich people who are unhappy. I know many people with successful businesses that are not happy with what they are doing. I know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, such as cars, computers, and televisions, yet never seem content for too long. Please remember, happiness is the journey of life, not the destination.

　　What can we know from paragraph 1?

　　The author has a great talent for algebra.

　　Creative thinking is necessary for every child.

　　The BASIC code of the computer is not difficult.

　　The author's experience in his childhood changed his life

　　The author wants to tell us through the first paragraph that

　　What is the secret of happiness in the author's opinion?

　　Success and wealth.

　　Gifts and self-confidence.

　　Enthusiasm and good health.

　　Knowledge and achievements.

　　We can infer from the last paragraph that

　　.

　　Rich people generally feel unhappy

　　Wealth can't bring people any happiness

　　One will feel unhappy once he has gained all the things he wants

　　Being enthusiastic about what you are doing is more important than wealth

　　Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important in formation that should be included, he can give you a false picture.

　　For example, some might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for on e hundred dollars!”

　　This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only on e was a winner. He’s really a big loser!

　　He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.

　　Some politicians often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents(对手) says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” that’s true. However, and honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”

　　Advertisers(广告商) will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.

　　This kind of deception happens too of often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

　　1. How much did the lottery winner lose?

　　A. One hundred dollars.

　　B. Two hundred dollars.

　　C. Three hundred dollars.

　　D. Four hundred dollars.

　　2. We may infer that the author believes people should _______.

　　A. buy lottery tickets

　　B. make use of half-truths

　　C. not take anything at face value

　　D. not trust the Yucky Company

　　3. What do the underline words “net gain” in Paragraph 5 mean?

　　A. final increase

　　B. big advantage

　　C. large share

　　D. total saving

　　4. What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill advertisement?

　　False statements are easy to see through.

　　B. Half-truths are often used to mislead people.

　　Doctors like to act in advertisements.

　　D. Advertisements are based on facts.

　　【阅读理解】

　　William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13,1865. His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family—both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.

　　Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s.His early theatrical experiments，however，were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn't lose heart，and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.

　　Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats's poems attract much admiring notice.The subject matter includes love，nature，history，time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.

　　He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923.Yet，he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40，he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats's death in 1939, W．H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines：

　　Earth，receive an honoured guest：

　　William Yeats is laid to rest.

　　Let the Irish vessel (船) lie

　　Emptied of its poetry.

　　本文介绍了爱尔兰著名作家威廉·巴特勒叶慈，他在19世纪90年代成立了爱尔兰国家剧院，他以诗体戏剧及诗歌闻名，于1923年获得了诺贝尔奖。

　　．Which of the following can describe Yeats's family?

　　A．It filled Yeats's childhood with laughter.B．It was shocked by Yeats's choice.

　　C．It was a typically wealthy family.D．It had an artistic atmosphere.

　　答案：D。细节理解题。根据短文第一段倒数第二句话可知：他从家人那儿继承了很好的艺术鉴赏能力，他的父亲和哥哥都是画家，证明他是在一个有艺术氛围的家庭中长大。

　　．According to the passage，what do we know about Yeats's life?

　　A．Yeats founded the first Irish theater.

　　B．Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.

　　C．Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.

　　D．Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize.

　　答案：C。细节理解题。根据短文第二段第二句话“He set himself...theatre in the late 1890s.”可知A项不对。根据第三段第三句话“Though Yeats...to them”可知，B项不对。根据第三段最后一句话可知，D项不对。由此可知C项正确。

　　．What kind of feeling is expressed in W．H.Auden's lines?

　　A．Envy. B．Sympathy.C．Emptiness. D．Admiration.

　　答案：D。推理判断题。envy忌妒；sympathy同情；emptiness空虚；admiration敬佩，钦佩。Auden的诗词中有honored guest，最尊敬的客人，可知Auden是敬佩叶慈的。

　　．What is the passage mainly about?

　　A. Yeats's literary achievements.B. Yeats's historical influence.

　　C. Yeats's artistic ambition. D. Yeats's national honor.

　　答案：A。主旨大意题。本文主要讲述作家叶慈在文学方面所取得的成绩，他的诗体戏剧获得了很大的成功，他的诗歌赢得了广泛的认可，1923年，他获得了诺贝尔文学奖。
