　　四、阅读理解

　　(2017湖北,E)

　　For most city people,the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains,jets,and even bicycles.Dr.Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who consider this a misunderstanding.Without the elevator,they point out,there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings,and city life as we know it would be impossible.In that sense,they argue,the elevator?s role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars.In fact,according to Wilk,the car and the elevator have been locked in a “secret war” for over a century,with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally(水平地),and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical(垂直的)columns.

　　If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators,it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief,boring,and even awkward experience—one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common,and an unpleasant awareness of the fact that we?re hanging from a cable in a long passage.

　　In a new book,Lifted,German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his attention to this experience,studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience.“After 150 years,we are still not used to it,”Bernard said.“We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.”That mixture,according to Bernard,sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.

　　Today,as the world?s urban population explodes,and cities become more crowded,taller,and more crowded,America?s total number of elevators—900,000 at last count,according to Elevator World magazine?s “2017 Vertical Transportation Industry”—are a force that?s becoming more important than ever.And for the people who really,really love them,it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.

　　1.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

　　A.The enthusiasm for transport vehicles.

　　B.The desire for a remarkable machine.

　　C.The particular interests of experts.

　　D.The general view of elevators.

　　2.The author’s purpose in mentioning cars is　. 

　　A.to explain people’s preference for elevators

　　B.to reveal their secret war against elevators

　　C.to emphasize the importance of elevators

　　D.to contrast their functions with elevators’

　　3.According to Prof.Bernard,what has made the elevator ride different from other life experiences?

　　A.Uncomfortable conditions.

　　B.Little physical space.

　　C.Lack of excitement.

　　D.Vertical direction.

　　4.The author urges readers to consider　. 

　　A.the relationship between cars and elevators

　　B.the role of elevators in city development

　　C.the serious future situation of elevators

　　D.the exact number of elevator lovers

　　一、单句填空

　　1.the　句意:新法律已经开始实施,现在这儿的野生动物的数量正在增加。考查冠词用法。the number of...……的数量。

　　2.protesting　句意:观众们完全不喜欢《小时代1》这部电影,他们用吹口哨、跺脚的方式表示抗议。考查动词时态。根据句意可知应用过去进行时。

　　3.chances　句意:刘翔正在接受良好的治疗,他可能会及时从伤病中恢复,参加2016年奥运会。考查固定句型。the chances are that...为固定句型,意为“可能……”。

　　4.chance　句意:他已经知道真相了。因此,不可能再把它当成秘密了。考查名词。chance可能性。

　　5.it　句意:——你是如何知道我去美国旅游这件事的?——是通过你的一位同事(知道的)。考查强调句型的特殊疑问句:“特殊疑问词+was/is it that+其他成分”。

　　6.unless　句意:除非得到欧盟更多的财政支持,否则希腊政府很难克服目前的困难。考查状语从句。unless=if...not。

　　7.While/Although　句意:虽然他们都是强有力的候选人,但只有一个人会被选中来担任这个职务。考查状语从句。根据语境可知此处考查让步状语从句,应该用although或while。

　　8.and　句意:奥巴马在印度尼西亚的那几年对他以前的一些同学和老师来说是无法忘记的。考查并列连词。空格前后为并列关系,故填and。

　　二、语法填空

　　[语篇解读]　我在学车的时候遇到一些尴尬的情境,我就要放弃的时候得到了哥哥的鼓励。在他的帮助下终于克服了自己心中的那一道坎儿。

　　1.knowing　考查非谓语动词。know与逻辑主语I是主动关系,所以用现在分词。

　　2.suddenly　考查词形转换。这里应该使用副词修饰动词shake。

　　3.knew　考查动词的时态。此处描述过去的事实,故用一般过去时。

　　4.embarrassing　考查词形转换。作者因为那个令人尴尬的错误而走不出来,这里用形容词修饰名词mistake,意为“令人尴尬的错误”。

　　5.myself　考查代词。虽然有之前的不好的境遇,作者还是暗自忖度,想要再试一次。think to oneself意为“自忖”。

　　6.and　考查连词。本空前后called和begged为并列关系,所以此处用连词and。

　　7.another　考查限定词。作者已经失利一次,所以希望能再试一次,这里用another表示另一次。

　　8.coaching　考查非谓语动词。哥哥对我的辅导非常好。do a good job (in) doing sth 意为“在……方面做得好;做好……”。

　　9.smoother　考查形容词的比较级。根据句中的关键词than可以判断,这里应该使用比较级。

　　10.amused　考查词形转换。这里说的是作者自己心中的感受,所以用amuse的形容词形式。

　　三、完形填空

　　[语篇解读]　本文为议论文。当我们满怀期待、行色匆匆地去追逐幸福时,幸福其实就在我们身边,只是毫不起眼罢了。

　　1.D　作者在谈论自己最初对幸福的理解。他认为只有先成就了事业,才能最终获得自己想要的幸福。上句中的“...across the finish line of a long race”暗示本空答案为accomplish(完成,实现)。overcome战胜,克服;forget遗忘;miss思念,错过。

　　2.B　本句中作者把自己比作乌龟。首先,C、D两项意思相近,同比排除;其次,根据英语叠词的修辞手段,不难看出A、B两项中,与slow意思相近的词是steady,slow and steady意思是“稳扎稳打的”。

　　3.A　本句中作者把自己比作兔子。在通往幸福的道路上,作者有时表现得像(act like)一只急功近利的兔子。

　　4.C　由下文hoping to reach that banner a little faster(希望快点到达那条横幅)提示可知这里指的是速度。

　　5.B　在漫长的追求幸福的过程中,作者逐渐地(gradually)明白了一个道理。generally一般地,通常;unfortunately不幸地,遗憾地;firstly首先。

　　6.C　作者渐渐明白,无论向着那条横幅跑多久,它都不会离你更近。

　　7.D　根据下文的and take a break(休息一会儿)可判断出答案选D项。sit down坐下;settle in定居;start off动身;stop by顺路拜访。

　　8.A　当作者停下追逐的脚步,坐下来休息时,他发现幸福原来就在身边。

　　9.D　根据下文的to support my family(养家)可知,这里指努力工作。A:学习,研究;B:斗争,战斗;C:练习,锻炼。

　　10.A　和孩子们一起玩耍,听到的自然是他们的欢笑声,而不是complaint(投诉),story(故事),breathing(呼吸)。

　　11.C　根据下文的with my wife at my side looking after me(妻子陪在我身边照顾我)可判断,这里指作者生病的时候。

　　12.C　幸福就在身边,发现它需要的是智慧(wisdom),而非勇气(courage)、机会(chance)或力气(strength)。

　　13.B　根据上文“你认为你应该的样子”以及下文“你本来的样子”可判断出,这两句话是相对而言的。tension(紧张)的反义词是relaxation(放松)。stress压力;failure失败;pain痛苦。

　　14.B　人们不应该一味地去追求所谓的完美的生活,从而错过了身边的幸福。

　　15.A　追求完美的生活不会带来幸福,幸福在当下,享受在当下。

　　16.D　幸福在你的内心和灵魂里。

　　17.A　幸福是一种内心的感受,所以只有当你意识到(realize)别人爱你正如你爱他们一样的时候,你才会发现幸福。

　　18.D　无论走到哪里都要快乐。选项中只有D项与文章中心词happiness相符合。sorrow悲伤;responsibility责任;fortune命运。

　　19.D　动词take可以表示“to go with sb.from one place to another,especially to guide or lead them带去,引领”,这里指将自己带离这场比赛。carry out执行;make out辨认清楚,填写;push out大量生产。

　　20.C　要明白在提到爱与幸福的时候,你就已经身处其中了。

　　四、阅读理解

　　[语篇解读]　本文为说明文。题材为科普知识类。文章主要介绍了电梯在城市发展中所起的巨大作用。

　　1.D　词义猜测题。上文提到了城市人群对电梯的传统看法。故选D项。

　　2.C　推理判断题。根据第一段第四句可知,作者提及汽车的目的是想通过对比的方式,说明电梯对于城市的发展所起的作用一点也不亚于汽车。故选C项。

　　3.B　推理判断题。根据第三段倒数第一、第二句可知,坐电梯和其他生活经历的不同之处就在于“the mixture of closeness and displeasure”。故选B项。

　　4.B　推理判断题。根据文章最后一句话可知,作者的写作目的是让人们重视电梯在城市发展中所起的作用。故选B项。
