　　2016年陕西汉中市高考英语二轮阅读理解选练（3）（含答案）

　　2016高考训练--阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项Amy Pankratz spent a few nights in the hospital with her daughter, Isabella, who caught a bad flu. “Lying in bed beside Isabella, I could hear the cries of children in pain, ”says Amy. “It completely broke my heart. ” When Isabella was getting well and could leave her room, she wore her prized possession—a “superhero cape(短斗篷)”Amy had sewn to encourage her—and walked into the hallway. The pink cape was an instant hit with the other young patients, who were doing exercise around the nursing station. “Then, all the kids were taking turns wearing the cape, giggling, ”Amy says. “These were some of the same children I had heard crying the night before, and here they were playing and having fun—kids just being kids! ” From that moment on, Amy began making Comfort Capes for little ones battling with serious illnesses. “I felt God presenting an opportunity, ”she says. “I hoped Comfort Capes can help these kids feel brave, to lift some of the fear away. ” Since then, Amy has made and donated more than 5, 000 capes in the United States. Amy usually pays for materials herself, although she accepts donations.

　　The capes she makes for kids in treatment are different from those her own children have. Before Amy starts to sew she learns what image or character the little boy or girl connects with. “ I choose the pattern, color and theme specially for each child,” explains Amy.

　　When she is not sewing, Amy is raising awareness of childhood cancers and looking into ways to get Comfort Capes to more kids who need them, “ If a cape can help a child, even only for a moment, forget his illness, it’s worth the time spent sewing,” she says.

　　1.What made Amy feel sad when she was staying with her daughter in the hospital?

　　A. Her daughter’s serious illness.

　　B. The cries of children in pain.

　　C. The tiredness from sewing the cape.

　　D. The illness of children in her daughter’s room.

　　2.What purpose did Amy have when she began making Comfort Capes for sick children?

　　A. To make them feel warm.

　　B. To find friends for her daughter.

　　C. To make them happy and fearless.

　　D. To raise the awareness of children’s illness.

　　3.According to the passage, we can get that the author’s attitude toward Amy’s behaviour is ________.

　　A. indifferent

　　B. neutral

　　C. negative

　　D. supportive

　　4. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

　　A. Turning Sick Kids into Superheroes

　　B. How to Treat the Sick Children

　　C. A Strong Mom Who Helps Others

　　D. Amy: a Considerate Woman

　　参考答案1-4 BCDA

　　2016高考训练--阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项

　　Turning on the TV, a wonderful scene comes to your eyes — a group of men, tall, strong and handsome, and women, young, beautiful and attractive, too. Together they eat in the finest restaurants, traveling everywhere around the world by luxurious planes and pleasure ships. They are models.

　　Do you envy them? What sort of life are models leading? Is it a wonderful life for a young lady or a young man?

　　A few models are well-known actors or actresses who can make a lot of money only by showing themselves off in commercials. But the majority of them are just curious to see what it is like. They’d like to be models just because they are attracted by what they imagine — models earn a lot of money and lead a glorious life. This is true for those who are very successful. However, most models find it difficult to get work. Very few can earn enough to live on, and for all models their expenses are high. Their agents claim about 20% of the earnings, and no model will get very far without a clever agent. Besides, they have to buy good clothing. They also have to pay to travel to interviews and reach the places where the work is to be done.

　　Interviews for a model job are known as cattle-markets in the modeling world, and not without a good reason. A top model can choose his or her work, demand and receive high fees and has his or her expenses paid. But for most models, the situation is quite different. And agent or employer inspects each model much as a farmer inspects cattle at a market. Intelligence, qualifications and personal characteristics count for little against good looks and tight figures. For all except the very few lucky ones, the life of a model is a continual search for work, trying to sell himself or herself in the face of fierce competition and, sometimes, not particularly moral standards on the part of some employers.

　　Immigration officials at airport look suspiciously at a girl whose passport shows her occupation as “Model”, and these are men and women of considerable experience of the world. It comes no surprise to find that some models prefer to put “Secretary” or “Businessman” as their jobs in their passports.

　　Modeling is a changeable world with great rewards for a tiny minority but not for the majority.

　　1.

　　For models, their good looks and tight figures are _____________, compared with their intelligence and qualifications.

　　A. more important

　　B. less needed

　　C. less essential

　　D. more looked down upon

　　2.

　　Which of the following can lead you to believe according to the passage?

　　A. A model’s traveling expenses are usually paid by his employer.

　　B. To be a model, good looks are the most important qualification.

　　C. Most models have a fairly easy way of life with high pay.

　　D. A model can hardly be successful without a good agent.

　　3.

　　Models often put “Secretary” or “Businessman” instead of “Model” in their passports because ______________.

　　A. they want to avoid being stopped to sign their names by fans

　　B. a person with the occupation of a model is easily attacked by black societies

　　C. models are sometimes looked down upon

　　D. secretaries and businessmen are free of custom duty

　　4. The underlined word “suspiciously” can most probably be replaced by ___________.

　　A. doubtfully

　　B. excitedly

　　C. proudly

　　D. sadly
