　　四川郫縣2024高考英語閱讀理解選練

　　閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。(2024·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(煩人的) 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：本文是一篇說明文，作者介紹了在我們想要放棄的時(shí)候改變這種模式的一種方法就是重新選擇目標(biāo)并且迅速做出決定。

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

　　A．slow down and live a simple life

　　B．Realization of your dreams.

　　C．Freedom from your tension.

　　D．Reduction of your expectations.

　　答案：C　推理判斷題。根據(jù)畫線句子可知其本意是逃出你內(nèi)心的牢籠。結(jié)合上文中在過多思考之前快速?zèng)Q定和行動(dòng)可以推測這個(gè)畫線句子是指要從過多考慮的焦慮中解放自己。故選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　寫作意圖題。從全文來看，作者主要是想要強(qiáng)調(diào)果斷的行動(dòng)而不是空想來實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的夢想和欲望，比起想要成功，行動(dòng)更加容易。故選A。

　　Cars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car.

　　Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn’t know how much the car was going to change American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.

　　There are three main reasons why the car became so popular in the United States First of all the country is a big one and Americans like to move around it. The car makes the travel the most comfortable and cheapest. With a car people can go to any place without spending a lot of money.

　　The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed a practical and cheap public travel system. Long distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Now there is a good system of air- service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used often.

　　The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don’t like waiting for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to follow an exact timetable. A car gives them the freedom to plan their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.

　　Less oil has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real answer will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much oil.

　　1.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

　　In the United States even the poor own cars.

　　In the United States all the poor have no cars.

　　When an American has a car, he will never be poor.

　　An American will feel poor unless he has a car.

　　2.We can learn from this passage that Americans ______.

　　spend a lot of money traveling by car

　　travel a lot in their cars

　　seldom travel by plane

　　use public traffic often

　　3.Which of the following is not told in the passage?

　　Buses, trains and planes are not comfortable

　　Traveling by car is not expensive.

　　Americans have the spirit of independence

　　Americans often move from place to place

　　4.In the writer’s opinion, cars are popular in the United States mainly because ___.

　　Americans like to plan their own time

　　The United States does not have enough public transportation

　　Americans will not feel poor when they travel in their cars

　　Americans cannot move around without their own cars

　　5. “A nation on wheels” in the second paragraph means that _______.

　　everyone in the United States owns a car

　　the United States produces most of the cars in the world

　　cars play an important part in American’ life

　　the United States depend on car industry for its development

　　【參考答案】1—4、DBAAC

　　閱讀理解。

　　The financial crisis is reminding Americans of a lesson they first learned in childhood: Share and share alike. They are sharing or swapping tools and books, cars and handbags, time and talent.

　　The renewed desire to share shows up in a variety of examples: A car-sharing service has had a 70 percent membership increase since the crisis occurred. Some companies encouraged his employees to take vanpooling. Governments are putting bikes on the street for public use. How-to-swap Web sites are increasing quickly.

　　The economy reflects the way Americans have cut back, especially on daily items: Department store sales dropped 1.3 percent in June. People are not buying cars, and as a result, auto sales dropped 27.7 percent last month. They are not paying others to do what they can do themselves — Home Depot reports increased attendance at in-store do-it-yourself clinics. And although paint sales are down in general, according to Sherwin-Williams, individual consumers are still buying.

　　When Tom Burdett needed to cut some tiles at his home outside Annapolis, he refused to buy expensive tools. So he asked his neighbors and friends for help. Sure enough, someone had just what he needed. And when that friend needed help fixing a satellite dish, Burdett volunteered to help.

　　The sharing mind-set is not new to the American culture, but many Americans give it up when the nation changed from an agricultural society to an industrial one, said Rosemary Hornak, a psychology professor at Meredith College in Raleigh, N.C. They moved farther from their families and did not have time to connect with new neighbors because they worked so much, she said.

　　Neighborhood conversations tell more of the story as the movement grows organically (持續(xù)地) in communities across the Washington region and the nation. On one street in Arlington, for example, neighbors are collecting their separate money for mulch (覆蓋料) and dividing it among themselves.

　　52. What is the text mainly about?

　　A. Introducing a new way of life.

　　B. Sharing in the financial crisis.

　　C. How to reduce the living expense.

　　D. How to handle the financial crisis.

　　53. Why do people in modern times give up the sharing mind-set?

　　A. Because they don’t need it at all.

　　B. Because they aren’t interested in it.

　　C. Because they are busy with work.

　　D. Because they hate being disturbed.

　　54. The underlined phrase “cut back” in Para. 3 probably means ________.

　　A. shared

　　B. helped

　　C. abandoned

　　D. reduced

　　55. It can be inferred from the passage that _________________________.

　　A. more and more Americans solve problems in their daily life by helping each other .

　　B. if the prices of service goes down, individual consumers won’t do something themselves.

　　C. the sharing-mind set is a strange to many Americans.

　　D. when the crisis ends, Americans will abandon the sharing-mind set.

　　Sports 1: Basketball.

There will be four basketball courts available for our use with one teacher watching over each game.

　　We will be using St. Peter’s Memorial Park. There are two reasons for choosing this park. First, it is not very busy and crowded before 6:00 pm. Second, it has lot of trees with plenty of shade. Students must bring along two bottles of water to prevent thirst. Three activities, skipping , jogging , outdoor aerobics (有氧運(yùn)動(dòng)),all of which are free of charge, will be arranged. And there will be a teacher on duty for each of the activities.
