　　阅读理解—主旨大意题、标题概括题。

　　(2015年河南周口模拟)

　　A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That's the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt-water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.

　　The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.

　　Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But previous research has shown that the level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.

　　For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish. At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.

　　During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol（胆固醇）levels.

　　In which section of a newspaper can we read this passage?

　　4. From the passage we know the author is most probably

　　故事类

　　One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap(包装)．

　　On September 11th, 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying, “I promised you a gift, and here it is. ”What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!

　　One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”， “pitiful”， and “dying”， which sounded ominous.

　　Christmas was coming. “Don't expect any presents this year，” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. “If your baby brother lives, that'll be Christmas enough.” As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. I'd never seen him cry before.

　　The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it.From my bedroom I heard him say, “What? He's all right？” He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we can bring Richard home！”

　　“Thank God！”

　　I heard Mum cry.

　　From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And

　　I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home.

　　I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!

　　1What happened to the author on September 11th, 1958?

　　A. He got a baby brother.

　　B. He got a Christmas gift.

　　C. He became four years old.

　　D. He received a doll.

　　2. What does the underlined word “ominous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

　　A. Impossible.

　　B. Boring.

　　C. Difficult.

　　D. Fearful.

　　3. Which word can best describe the feeling of the father when Christmas was coming?

　　A. Excitement.

　　B. Happiness.

　　C. Sadness.

　　D. Disappointment.

　　4. What is the passage mainly about?

　　A. A sad Christmas day.

　　B. Life with a lovely baby.

　　C. A special Christmas gift.

　　D. Memories of a happy family.

　　【要点综述】“我”四岁时母亲给了“我”一件特殊的圣诞礼物：人娃娃——我可爱的弟弟Richard。但后来Richard发高烧差点夭折，经医院抢救得生，这使我更加珍爱我的“人娃娃”。

　　. A　细节理解题。虽然表面上是有了一个娃娃，但事实上是有了亲弟弟。

　　. D　词义猜测题。从该句前半部分中的 “hopeless”， “pitiful”， and “dying”可知该词意思是“令人害怕的”。虽然其他三个词均表示消极含义，但只有fearful表示“我”害怕“弟弟”离“我”而去。

　　. C　推理判断题。从第四段最后两句As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. I’d never seen him cry before.可知父亲感到十分伤心。

　　. C　主旨大意题。第一段一开始便定义我的弟弟Richard是一件特殊的圣诞礼物。虽然弟弟Richard差点离我们而去，但后来还是得以平安回家，因此圣诞节并不悲惨。B和D选项外延过大，此段材料只是截取生活中的一个片段，并非整个和Richard一起生活的全部。Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized(把…归类) as "honor" help you create this life of good feelings.

　　Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.

　　Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk's mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky(卑鄙的) excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.

　　Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?

　　In the first case, where we don't tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate(演示) that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased.

　　Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.

　　There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it's started, it's easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.

　　1. According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our_______.

　　A. self-respect

　　B. financial rewards

　　C. advertising ability

　　D. friendly relationship

　　2. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to_______.

　　A. lying

　　B. stealing

　　C. cheating

　　D. advertising

　　3. The underlined phrase "bringing the error to the clerk's attention" means_______.

　　A. telling the truth to the clerk

　　B. offering advice to the clerk

　　C. asking the clerk to be more attentive

　　D. reminding the clerk of the charged item

　　4. How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?

　　A. We'll be very excited.

　　B. We'll feel unfortunate.

　　C. We'll have a sense of honor.

　　D. We'll feel sorry for the clerk.

　　5

　　Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?

　　A. How to Live Truthfully

　　B. Importance of Peacefulness

　　C. Ways of Gaining Self-respect

　　D. Happiness through Honorable Actions

　　2016高考训练题。阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。For six hours we: shot through the landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I’d bought in a market in Mozambique.

　　Southern Africa was full of stories. And visions. We were almost drank on sensations. The roaring of the at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana. And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometre from clean water.

　　As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty—we hadn’t seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving next to me. I glanced in the mirror of the car; I glanced sideways to the right, and that was when I saw them. Next to us, by the side of the road, thirty, forty wild horses were racing the car, a cloud of dust rising behind them—brown, muscular horses almost close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn’t know how long they had been there next to us.

　　I shouted to Dan: “Look!”, but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet. They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.

　　“Wild horses?” he said. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”

　　“I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds.”

　　“Are you sure you didn’t dream it?”

　　“You were the one who was sleeping!”

　　“Typical,” he said. “The best photos are the ones we never take.”

　　We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.

　　1. During their journey in Africa, the two travelers ________.

　　A. made friends with local residents

　　B. recorded their experiences in different ways

　　C. enjoyed the sunset in the Karoo desert most

　　D. complained about the poor living conditions

　　2. What does the phrase “heroic forms” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

　　A. Wild horses.

　　B. Racing ears.

　　C. Eye-catching locals.

　　D. Running dogs.

　　3. What did Daniel think when he woke up and was told what had happened?

　　A. A sound sleep was more important.

　　B. He had already taken beautiful pictures.

　　C. He always missed out on the best thing.

　　D. The next trip would be better.

　　4. What’s the passage mainly about?

　　A. How to view wildlife in Africa.

　　B. Possible dangers of travelling in the desert.

　　C. Tourist attractions in southern Africa.

　　D. Running into wildlife in Africa.

　　参考答案1—4、BACD

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

　　Probably you have seen photos of the Grand Canyon（峡谷）, the great valley in the desert country of Arizona. But you must go there yourself to feel its true size and beauty. The Grand Canyon is one of the greatest natural wonders of the world

　　The Colorado River formed the Grand Canyon over millions of years. Slowly, the river cut down through hard rock. At the same time, the land was rising. Today the canyon is 1.5 kilometers and 445 kilometers long. The oldest rocks at the bottom of the canyon are more than 1 billion years old. The width varies from about 200 meters to 29 kilometers across. The rim or top of the canyon is about 2,300 meters above sea level on the South Rim, and about 3,000 meters on the other side. As a result, there are different kinds of plants and animals on opposite sides of the canyon. The South Rim is dry desert country. The North Rim has tall forests.

　　The canyon looks different at different times of day, and in different seasons and weather. At sunrise and sunset the red, gold, brown and orange colors of the rocks are especially clear and bright. In winter, the canyon is partly covered with snow.

　　The view from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is the best. Most visitors come here and stay in campgrounds or hotels. Every point along the canyon’s edge offers a different view.

　　The North rim of the Canyon is quieter. It takes all day to drive there from the South Rim because there is only one bridge across the Colorado River. On the way, you go through Navado Indian lands, and a colorful pink desert called “The Painted Desert”.
