閱讀理解提升練(八) A (2018浙江紹興一中高考沖刺) This week,a mammoth(猛犸象)possibly killed by humans 10,000 to 15,000 years ago was found in soy fields about 15 miles west of Detroit.It was found by farmer James Bristle and his neighbor Trent Satterthwaite,who were reportedly digging in the fields.At first,they couldn’t figure out what they were seeing. “It was probably a rib bone that came up,”Bristle told The Ann Arbor News.“We thought it was a bent fence post.Upon closer inspection,however,it became clear even to the untrained eye;this was no fence post.We knew it was something special.” Then they sped up the dig. After finding the bones on Monday night,Bristle called the University of Michigan on Tuesday morning to report his find.Scientist Daniel Fisher arrived to inspect it on Wednesday,and by Thursday morning he had confirmed it’s a woolly mammoth.He concluded the animal was about 5 years old when it died.It was hunted by humans,he said,who killed it and stored the remains in a pond as a way of preserving the meat for future use.“It’s still too early to tell exactly how it died,” Fisher told Detroit’s WWJ-TV,“but the skeleton(骨架) shows signs of humans’ butchering.” The bones are being temporarily stored nearby,according to the Detroit Free Press,and it remains unclear where they’ll eventually end up.Their research value will be determined once they’ve been cleaned and dried. Woolly mammoths once lived in Eurasia and North America,and most disappeared 10,000 years ago—demise(死亡)that has been linked not only to humans,but also to changing climate.It’s now believed that warming weather weakened their populations before humans dealt the final blows. 1.What can we know about the mammoth according to the passage? A.It might die in its 5s. B.It was native to Eurasia. C.It preferred wandering in the fields. D.It mainly died from climate change. 2.Daniel Fisher may hold the opinion that 　　　. A.the bones are well worth researching B.the mammoth was killed by the butcher C.identifying the bones was a waste of time D.the newfound site has evidence of human activity 3.What does the underlined part “dealt the final blows” in the last paragraph mean? A.Take their life. B.Dry their bones. C.Destroy their home. D.Preserve their meat. B An early morning winter storm had brought several inches of snow to my small town in the mountains.Schools were canceled,roads were dangerous and all I wanted to do was to stay in bed.Still,I knew I had to get the day started so I put on warm clothes and walked outside.The snow got all over my shoes.The cold wind dried my lips and my eyes.My 47-year-old back ached in anticipation (預(yù)想) of the shoveling(鏟雪) I would have to do if the snow didn’t stop soon. Yet,when I looked out on the white blanket that covered the ground,I couldn’t help but smile a bit.It was so beautiful.It softened the bare trees and hid the dead grass.In the distance I could hear the sound of the snowplow (雪犁) on the road,the barking of a happy dog and the laughter of children playing outside,enjoying their way off from school. The sweet music of that laughter brought back a hundred memories of winters past.I remembered catching snowflakes (雪花) on my tongue,building snowmen,making snow angels,running down hills and always losing snowball fights with first my brothers and then my own children.Standing there in that warm coat of memories made the wind a little less cold and my back a little less sore (疼痛的).I turned up my head,stuck out my tongue and for the first time in years caught a snowflake on it.It tasted so fresh and clean.It tasted like youth,like joy and like love. May you always feel young in spirit,no matter how old or achy your body may be.May you always delight in the simple joys of life.May you always share your happiness with the hearts of children.And may you always give your love,your light,your laughter and your warmth to others even on the coldest days. 4.What was the author’s first reaction when he knew it snowed heavily? A.He was upset. B.He was happy. C.He was thankful. D.He was moved. 5.What does the author mainly want to tell us with this article? A.Appreciate every snowstorm you spend with your family. B.Snow brings both fun and trouble. C.Memories can change our opinion. D.We should stay young at heart. 6.From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1,we can know that “　　　”. A.my back ached because of the cold weather B.I didn’t want to start my day on such a snowy day C.my back would ache upon thinking of cleaning up the snow D.the snow didn’t stop and I felt too cold C Whenever something looks interesting or beautiful,there is a natural desire of us to capture (捕捉) and preserve it—which means,in this day and age,that we are likely to reach for our phones to take a picture. Though this would seem to be an ideal solution,there are two big problems associated with taking pictures.Firstly,we are likely to be so busy taking pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest encourage us to take a photograph in the first place.And secondly,because we feel the pictures are safely stored on our phones,we never get around to looking at them,so sure are we that we’ll get around to them one day. The first person to notice the problems was an English art critic (評(píng)論家),John Ruskin.He was a keen traveller who realized that most tourists make a poor job of noticing or remembering the beautiful things they see.He argued that humans have a natural tendency to respond to beauty and desire to have it,but there are better and worse expressions of this desire.At worst,we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs.But,in Ruskin’s eyes,there’s just one thing we should do—attempting to draw the interesting things we see,regardless of whether we happen to have any talent for doing so. Ruskin said,“Drawing can teach us to see,to notice properly rather than gaze absent-mindedly.In the process of recreating with our own hand what lies before our eyes,we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.” Ruskin deplored the blindness and hurry of modern tourists,especially those who prided themselves on travelling around the whole Europe in a week by train,“No changing of places at a hundred miles an hour will make us stronger,happier,or wiser.There was always more in the world than men could see,if they ever walked slowly;they will see it no better for going fast.The really precious things are thoughts and sights,not pace.” 7.According to Paragraph 2,when taking pictures,people tend to　　　. A.forget to appreciate something attractive on the spot B.find it hard to learn skills of taking good pictures C.find a good way to keep things in their minds D.have a chance to meet the challenge of new technology 8.According to Ruskin,what should travellers do to best express their appreciation and desire for something beautiful? A.To speak it out openly. B.To photograph it instantly. C.To purchase it directly. D.To paint it immediately. 9.From the fourth paragraph,we can infer that Ruskin encourages us to be　　　. A.considerate and determined B.active and adventurous C.creative and thoughtful D.sensitive and ambitious 10.The underlined word “deplored” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “　　　”. A.appreciated B.criticized C.favoured D.ignored  閱讀理解提升練(八) A 【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】本文主要介紹了James Bristle和他的鄰居發(fā)現(xiàn)了一具猛犸象骨架,以及由此引發(fā)的研究和報(bào)道。 1.A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“He concluded the animal was about 5 years old when it died.”可知,這只猛犸象死時(shí)可能是五歲。故選A項(xiàng)。 2.D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“It was hunted by humans...but the skeleton(骨架) shows signs of humans’ butchering”可知,Fisher認(rèn)為這只猛犸象是被人類(lèi)獵殺的,并被作為食物貯存下來(lái),其骨架上有被人類(lèi)宰殺的痕跡。由此可推知,Fisher可能會(huì)認(rèn)為此地有人類(lèi)活動(dòng)的痕跡。故選D項(xiàng)。 3.A　詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第三段中的“It was hunted by humans”和最后一段中的“demise(死亡)that has been linked not only to humans,but also to changing climate”可推知,在人類(lèi)獵殺猛犸象之前,氣候變暖已經(jīng)削減了它們的數(shù)量,畫(huà)線部分應(yīng)表示“獵殺,捕殺”之意,故選A項(xiàng)。deal a blow為習(xí)慣用法,意為“造成傷害(損失、打擊)”。 B 【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】 本文是一篇記敘文。作者講述了自己在大雪后外出看到的雪景以及孩子們?cè)谘┲型骠[的場(chǎng)景。文章最后表達(dá)了一些祝福。 4.A　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“...all I wanted to do was to stay in bed.Still,I knew I had to get the day started so I put on warm clothes and walked outside.”可知,作者雖不想起床但是還得起床,所以他應(yīng)該是沮喪的,故選A項(xiàng)。 5.D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“May you always feel young in spirit,no matter how old or achy your body may be.May you always delight in the simple joys of life.”可知,作者想要告訴大家要保持年輕的心情,盡情享受生活,故答案為D項(xiàng)。 6.C　句意理解題。根據(jù)此句的本意:我一想到如果雪不停我就得鏟雪,我背部就疼。可知只有C項(xiàng)意思最為相近,故選C項(xiàng)。 C 【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】 本文是一篇評(píng)論性文章。英國(guó)評(píng)論家Ruskin對(duì)現(xiàn)代游客只忙于拍照而沒(méi)有真正去欣賞美的事物這一現(xiàn)象進(jìn)行了分析,鼓勵(lì)人們要有創(chuàng)造力,多思考,要善于發(fā)現(xiàn)美好的事物。 7.A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第二句可知,人們常常忙于拍照而忘了去欣賞世界的美,故選A項(xiàng)。 8.D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句和第四段可知,Ruskin認(rèn)為,表達(dá)對(duì)美好事物的欣賞的最好辦法是把它畫(huà)下來(lái),故選D項(xiàng)。 9.C　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段可知,Ruskin鼓勵(lì)我們要有創(chuàng)造力,多思考,故選C項(xiàng)。 10.B　詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)上文可知,Ruskin鼓勵(lì)我們要有創(chuàng)造力,多思考,要善于發(fā)現(xiàn)美好的事物。此處指Ruskin譴責(zé)現(xiàn)代游客的盲目和匆忙,沒(méi)有好好欣賞美。deplore“譴責(zé),哀嘆”與B項(xiàng)同義,故選B項(xiàng)。
