　　2017届吉林省双辽市高考英语一轮复习阅读理解训练6

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。(2015·福建)

　　Life can be so wonderful，full of adventure and joy.It can also be full of challenges，setbacks(挫折) and heartbreaks.Whatever our circumstances，we generally still have dreams，hopes and desires—that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones.Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem，because when we go to change the way we do things，up come the old patterns and pitfalls(陷阱) that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.

　　This tension between what we feel we can have and what we're seemingly able to have is the niggling(烦人的) suffering，the anxiety we feel.This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up.But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more.The intelligence behind that knowing is us—the real us.It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities.If you drop that，you begin to feel a little “dead” inside because you're dropping “you”．

　　So，if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck，how do we break these patterns?

　　Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time.This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today's challenges.

　　While，deep down，we know we can do it，our mind—or the minds of those close to us—usually says we can't.That isn't a reason to stop; it's just the mind，that little man or woman on your shoulder，trying to talk you out of something again.It has done it many times before.It's all about starting simple and doing it now.

　　Decide and act before overthinking.When you do this you may feel a little，or large，release_from_the_jail_of_your_mind and you'll be on your way.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，作者介绍了在我们想要放弃的时候改变这种模式的一种方法就是重新选择目标并且迅速做出决定。

　　．It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ________.

　　A．slow down and live a simple life

　　B．be careful when we choose to change

　　C．stick to our dreams under any circumstances

　　D．be content with what we already have

　　答案：C　细节理解题。文章第一段第三句Whatever our circumstances，we generally still have dreams，hopes and desires说不管在什么情况下，我们仍然有着梦想、希望和欲望。以及第二段最后一句If you drop that，you begin to feel a little “dead”inside because you're dropping “you”．如果你放弃了，你的内心会变得了无生机，因为你放下了你自己。故选C。

　　．What is the key to breaking the old patterns?

　　A．To focus on every detail.

　　B．To decide and take immediate action.

　　C．To listen to those close to us.

　　D．To think twice before we act.

　　答案：B　细节理解题。根据倒数第三段第一句Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time.可以知道为了打破旧格局需要决定一个新目标并且立刻做出决定。故选B。

　　3．Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?

　　A．Escape from your punishment.

　　B．Realization of your dreams.

　　C．Freedom from your tension.

　　D．Reduction of your expectations.

　　答案：C　推理判断题。根据画线句子可知其本意是逃出你内心的牢笼。结合上文中在过多思考之前快速决定和行动可以推测这个画线句子是指要从过多考虑的焦虑中解放自己。故选C。

　　．What does the author intend to tell us?

　　A．It's easier than we think to get what we want.

　　B．It's important to learn to accept sufferings in life.

　　C．It's impractical to change our way of thinking.

　　D．It's harder than we expect to follow a new course.

　　答案：A　写作意图题。从全文来看，作者主要是想要强调果断的行动而不是空想来实现自己的梦想和欲望，比起想要成功，行动更加容易。故选A。

　　【2016·浙江】C

　　A scientist working at her lab bench and a six-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common.After all,the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature of the physical world,and the baby is,well, just playing…right?Perhaps,but some developmental psychologists have argued that this “play” is

　　more like a scientific investigation than one might think.

　　Take a closer look at the baby playing at the table. Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge, it

　　falls in the ground---and, in the process, it belongs out important evidence about how physical objects interact ; bowls of rice do not flood in mid-sit, but require support to remain stable. It is likely that babies are not born knowing the basic fact of the universe; nor are they ever clearly taught it. Instead, babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experiments and then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact. Though their ranges and tools differ, the baby’s investigation and the scientist’s experiment appear to share the same aim(to learn about the natural world ), overall approach (gathering direct evidence from the world), and logic (are my observations what I expected?).

　　Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more than just the physical world in this way---that they investigate human psychology and the rules of language

　　using similar means. For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering, and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has. for example, unlike the child , Mommy actually doesn’t like Dove chocolate.

　　Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws on how children learn ,but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists. Why do young children and scientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that science as an effort ---the desire to explore, explain, and understand our world---is simply something that comes from our babyhood. Perhaps evolution provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. The same cognitive systems that make young children feel good about feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists. As some psychologists put it, ”It is not that children are little scientists but that scientists are big children.”

　　50. According to some developmental psychologists,

　　A. a baby’s play is nothing more than a game.

　　B. scientific research into babies; games is possible

　　C. the nature of babies’ play has been thoroughly investigated

　　D. a baby’s play is somehow similar to a scientist’s experiment

　　51.We learn from Paragraph 2 that

　　A. scientists and babies seem to observe the world differently

　　B. scientists and babies often interact with each other

　　C. babies are born with the knowledge of object support

　　D. babies seem to collect evidence just as scientists do

　　52. Children may learn the rules of language by

　　A. exploring the physical world

　　B. investigating human psychology

　　C. repeating their own experiments

　　D. observing their parents’ behaviors

　　53. What is themain idea of the last paragraph?

　　A. The world may be more clearly explained through children’s play.

　　B. Studying babies’ play may lead to a better understanding of science.

　　C. Children may have greater ability to figure out things than scientists.

　　D. One’s drive for scientific research may become stronger as he grows.

　　54. What is the author’s tone when he discusses the connection between scientists’ research and babies’ play?

　　A. Convincing.

　　【名师点睛】

　　阅读理解有时理解文章的长难句是关键，理解不了这些句子很难理解文章的大意。下面我们分析一下这篇文章中的长句。

　　句子1：It is likely that babies are not born knowing the basic fact of the universe; nor are they ever clearly taught it.

　　这句话使用分号连接两个并列分句，前面的分句使用It is likely that这个句型，还有knowing…作伴随状语，后面的分句是nor+倒装句的结构。

　　句意：可能孩子不是天生就知道宇宙的基本事实，他们也没有被清楚的教过。

　　句子2：For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering, and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can have different views and desires from what he or she has.

　　这句话使用强调句，强调的是through repeated experiments, evidence gathering, and finally overturning a theory,这部分比较长，考生可能没有注意这个句式。主干部分中idea后面是同位语从句，from后面还有宾语从句。

　　句意：例如，它可能只是通过反复实验，收集证据，并最终推翻一个理论，一个婴儿会接受其他人可以和他/她有不同的意见和愿望的想法。

　　考点：考查说明类短文阅读
