河南魯山縣2017高考英語閱讀理解暑假自練題(1)
閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A.B.C和D項中,選出最佳選項。
Heading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind:
Dress to impress: Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says, “Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional network. You don’t need to dress like you’re going to the office, but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence, and look put together.”
Logo mania (品牌狂熱癥): Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at. It’s tempting to load up on logos, especially well-known logos that signify high-end brands. But consider this: college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style. Instead of wearing logos head to toe, “walking advertisement”-style, why not express who you really are?
Wear real pants! The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses. Smith points out that leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless you’re exercising. Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear. As a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level. So, get rid of leggings and wear real pants!
Keep the cute factor to a minimum: Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters, or Hello Kitty on them. Sure, kittens might be cute, but they’re not doing you any favors in the style department. Dressing too cutesy can take years off your look, and not necessarily in a good way!
1. The second paragraph indicates the importance of ________.
A. impressing professors B. getting on well with classmates
C. creating a professional image D. dressing appropriately
2. The author believes that college girls should ________.
A. choose a logo that suits their age
B. try to load up on well-known logos

3. The author recommends wearing real pants because ________.
A. leggings and baggy shirts are too common
B. yoga pants and sweatpants are not as comfortable
C. real pants can present you with appropriate maturity
D. people like real pants better than the other pants
4. What’s the writer’s attitude towards sweaters with animals on them?
A. They make people look lovely.
B. They are very fashionable these days.
C. They will show you’re an animal lover.
D. They are not suitable for college-aged students.
5. In which magazine would you most likely find this passage?
A. Business Week. B. Parents. C. In style. D. Travel & Leisure.
【參考答案】1—5、D A C D C

The French word renaissance means rebirth.It was first used in 1855 by the historian Jules Michelet in his History of France,then adopted by historians of culture,by art historians,and eventually by music historians,all of whom applied it to European culture during the 150 years spanning 1450-1600.The concept of rebirth was appropriate to this period of European history because of the renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman culture that began in Italy and then spread throughout Europe.Scholars and artists of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries wanted to restore the learning and ideals of the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome.To these scholars this meant a return to human—as opposed to spiritual values.Fulfillment in life—as opposed to concern about an afterlife—became a desirable goal,and expressing the entire range of human emotions and enjoying the pleasures of the senses were no longer frowned on.Artists and writers now turned to secular(不朽的)as well as religious subject matter and sought to make their works understandable and appealing.
These changes in outlook deeply affected the musical culture of the Renaissance period—how people thought about music as well as the way music was composed,experienced,discussed,and circulated.They could see the architectural monuments,sculptures(雕塑),plays,and poems that were being rediscovered,but they could not actually hear ancient music—although they could read the writings of classical philosophers,poets,essayists,and music theorists that were becoming available in translation.They learned about the power of ancient music to move the listener and wondered why modern music did not have the same effect.For example,the influential religious leader Bernardino Cirillo expressed disappointment with the learned music of his time.He urged musicians to follow the example of the sculptors,painters,architects,and scholars who had rediscovered ancient art and literature.
The musical Renaissance in Europe was more a general cultural movement and state of mind than a specific set of musical techniques.Furthermore,music changed so rapidly during this century and a half—though at different rates in different countries—that we cannot define a single Renaissance style.
36.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The musical compositions that best illustrate the developments during the European Renaissance.
B.The musical techniques that were in use during the European Renaissance.
C.The European Renaissance as a cultural development that included changes in musical style.
D.The ancient Greek and Roman musical practices used during the European Renaissance.
37.The underlined word “now” in Paragraph 1 refers to ________.
A.1855
B.the period of the Renaissance
C.tile time of the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome
D.the time at which the author wrote the passage
38.It can be inferred from the passage that thinkers of the Renaissance were seeking a rebirth of ________.
A.spirituality in everyday life
B.communication among artists across Europe
C.a(chǎn) cultural emphasis on human values
D.religious themes in art that would accompany the traditional secular themes
39.What can be inferred about the music of ancient Greece and Rome?
A.Its effect on listeners was described in a number of classical texts.
B.It was played on instruments that are familiar to modern audiences.
C.It expressed more different ideals than classical sculpture,painting and poetry.
D.It had the same effect on Renaissance audiences as it had when originally performed.
40.According to the passage,why was Bernardino Cirillo disappointed with the music of his time?
A.It did not contain enough religious themes.
B.It had little emotional impact on audiences.
C.It was not complex enough to appeal to musicians.
D.It was too dependent on the art and literature of his time.
36.C [主旨大意題。全文主要講述了歐洲文藝復(fù)興的發(fā)展,其中以音樂風(fēng)格的變化為主要例證。]
37.B [詞義猜測題。講述故事時用now表示“那時,當(dāng)時”,即故事發(fā)生的時候。]
38.C [推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第五句“To these scholars this meant a return to human—as opposed to spiritual values.”可知,文藝復(fù)興時期的思想家尋求的是對人的價值的重視。]
39.A [推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的“...although they could read the writings of classical philosophers,poets,essayists,and music theorists that were becoming available in translation.They learned about the power of ancient music to move the listener and wondered why...”可推知選A。]
40.D [推理判斷題。從第二段最后的描述中可以看出,Bernardino Cirillo對他那個時代中的模仿的音樂非常失望,敦促音樂家來向古代雕塑家、畫家、建筑師和學(xué)者學(xué)習(xí),這說明他認為他那個時代的音樂依賴性太強。]

President George Bush is heading to Camp David for Thanksgiving, thankful for his almost-expired "privilege of serving as the president."
President-elect Barack Obama is staying in Chicago to "have a whole bunch of people over to the house" and squeeze in some Christmas shopping.
On a holiday designed for reflection(回憶), one man, historically unpopular, is heading to a remote mountaintop with his family. The other, promising change, is surrounding himself with dozens of people in a busy city.
Dressed casually in a leather jacket and black scarf on Wednesday, Obama handed out food to the needy at a Chicago church with wife Michelle and their two daughters, shaking hands and happily telling people "you can call me Barack."
He followed that with a quick visit to a school next door, where he asked the excited kids, "Who's going to have turkey?" "Who's going to have green beans?" "Who's going to have sweet potato pie?"
Obama has shown a knack(竅門) for symbolism, in this case following the Thanksgiving tradition of helping the poor, said David Greenberg, a Rutgers University historian who is working on a history of political spin.
"Here he's showing a different side of himself, the president as national conscience or moral authority. I think that's probably a good note for him to introduce in a transition period that's been so heavily focused on Wall Street and the financial system and these economic problems," he said. "He's not forgetting who these economic problems are hurting the most."
For Bush, his final Thanksgiving in office is proving a time for nostalgia. He always reflects a bit at Thanksgiving, but he went further as he spared(放飛)the Thanksgiving turkey, "Pumpkin," on Wednesday.
He gave thanks to troops and volunteers, to teachers and pastors, to all the American people. Then he gave thanks for his wife and twin daughters — "two Thanksgiving miracles who we were blessed with 27 years ago" — and that his mother, former first lady Barbara Bush, was doing well after being hospitalized.
"Most of all," he said, "I thank the American people for the tremendous privilege of serving as the president."
This Thanksgiving, Obama used the opportunity for a relatively rare public event with his wife and children, Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10 — and a chance for a little lesson for the kids.
"I want them to learn the importance of how fortunate they are and to make sure they're giving back," he said of bringing the girls to the church.
And what's he thankful for?
"I just want you to know what I'm thankful for is my family and my friends and my community," he told the schoolchildren. "That's the most important thing."
1. The best title of the passage should be _______
A. Thanksgiving for Bush and Obama B. Thanksgiving Day
C. How to celebrate Thanksgiving Day D. Thanksgiving Day for presidents
答案解析:答案為A。本題考查文章的標題。全文報道了即將卸任的總統(tǒng)Bush和新選舉的總統(tǒng)Obama各自在感恩節(jié)做的事情。故答案為A。
2. The underlined word “squeeze” in paragraph 2 is closest to _______
A. force B. push C. join D. take
答案解析:答案為C。本題為詞義猜測題。結(jié)合下文的第三段 “On a holiday designed for reflection, one man, historically unpopular, is heading to a remote mountaintop with his family. The other, promising change, is surrounding himself with dozens of people in a busy city.”可知,“one man”指的是第一段提到的President George Bush,他和家人一起要去遙遠的山頂;“The other”指的是第二段提到的President-elect Barack Obama,他在繁忙的城市中,周圍都是人??梢酝茢?,第二段寫的是新選舉的總統(tǒng)Obama加入了圣誕節(jié)的購物潮中,因此squeeze意思最接近 “join”,故答案為C。
3. Which of the following is NOT right according to the passge?
A. Bush is thought highly of by the people in the article.
B. Bush’s daughters are 27 years old now.
C. Obama visited some of the people who needed help.
D. Bush gave thanks to troops and volunteers, to teachers and pastors, to all the American people.
答案解析:答案為A。本題為細節(jié)題。由第三段 “On a holiday designed for reflection, one man, historically unpopular, is heading to a remote mountaintop with his family.”可知,“one man”在歷史上不受歡迎,結(jié)合上題的分析,“one man”指的是Bush,因此A選項“文中人們對Bush評價很高”錯誤,故答案為A。
第九段寫的是Bush, 由文中 “He gave thanks to troops and volunteers, to teachers and pastors, to all the American people. Then he gave thanks for his wife and twin daughters — ‘two Thanksgiving miracles who we were blessed with 27 years ago’…”可知,B、D選項符合文意。由第四段 “Dressed casually in a leather jacket and black scarf on Wednesday, Obama handed out food to the needy at a Chicago church…”可知,C選項符合文意。
4. The passage suggests that _______
A It’s a tradition for a US president to spare a turkey on Thanksgiving Day.
B On Thanksgiving Day, Obama mainly has a get-together with his family and friends.
C Obama asked his two daughters to make contribution to the US economy.
D Bush thinks it a honour and also a pity to be the US president.
答案解析:答案為A。本題為細節(jié)推理題,解答此題可用排除法。由第十一段 “This Thanksgiving, Obama used the opportunity for a relatively rare public event with his wife and children, Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10 — and a chance for a little lesson for the kids.”可知,Obama利用這個機會和妻子孩子團聚,沒有和朋友一起,故B選項錯誤。C、D選項未提。因此只有選擇A選項“對于美國總統(tǒng)來說感恩節(jié)放飛火雞是一種傳統(tǒng)”,文中第八段提到 “For Bush, his final Thanksgiving in office is proving a time for nostalgia. He always reflects a bit at Thanksgiving, but he went further as he spared the Thanksgiving turkey, "Pumpkin," on Wednesday.” 由此可知,A選項是正確的。

The high school prom is the first formal social event for most American teenagers.It has also been a rite(儀式) of passage for young Americans for nearly a century.
The word “prom” was first used in the 1890s,referring to formal dances in which the guests of a party would display their fashions and dancing skills during the evening’s grand march.In the United States,parents and educators have come to regard the prom as an important lesson in social skills.Therefore,proms have been held every year in high schools for students to learn proper social behavior.
The first high school proms were held in the 1920s in America.By the 1930s,proms were common across the country.For many older Americans,the prom was a modest,home-grown affair in the school gymnasium.Prom-goers were well dressed but not fancily dressed up for the occasion:boys wore jackets and ties and girls their Sunday dresses.Couples danced to music provided by a local amateur band or a record player.After the 1960s,and especially since the 1980s,the high school prom in many areas has become a serious exercise in excessive consumption,with boys renting expensive tuxedos and girls wearing designer gowns.Expensive cars were hired to drive the prom-goers to big restaurants or discos for an all-night celebrations
Whether simple or lavish,proms have always been more or less upsetting events for adolescents who worry about self-image and fitting in with their peers.Prom night can be a fearful experience for socially awkward teens or for those who do not secure dates.Since the 1990s,alternative proms have been organized in some areas to meet the needs of particular students.For example,proms organized by and for homeless youth were reported.There were also “couple-free” proms to which all students are welcome.

A.They are part of the graduation ceremony.
B.They are occasions for teens to show off their wealth.

D.They are formal events in which teens share their fearful experiences.
42.Which best expresses the main idea of the third paragraph?
A.Proper social behavior must be observed by prom-goers.
B.Proms held in earlier times gave less pressure to teenagers.
C.Proms are regarded as important because everyone dresses up for the occasion.
D.The prom has changed from a modest event to an expensive party over the years.
43.According to the text,what led to alternative proms?
A.Not all students behaved well at the proms.
B.Proms were too serious for young prom-goers.
C.Teenagers wanted to attend proms with their dates.
D.Students with special needs did not enjoy conventional proms.
44.Which is true according to the text?
A.Unconventional proms have been organized since the 1990s.
B.In the 1980s,proms were held in local churches for teenagers to attend.
C.Proms have been a significant event in American high schools since the 1930s.
D.In the 1890s,high school proms were all-night social events.
45.Which of the following is suggested but not clearly stated?
A.Many high school students attend proms together with their lovers.
B.The first high school proms were held in the 1920s in America.
C.Prom night can be a fearful experience for socially awkward teens.
D.The high school prom is the first formal social event for most American teenagers.
41.C [根據(jù)第一段首句和第二段末句可知答案。]
42.D [第三段主要講述了proms由簡樸到奢華的發(fā)展過程。]
43.D [答案依據(jù)在文章末段。因為傳統(tǒng)proms給部分學(xué)生帶來心理壓力,故催生了一些替代形式。]
44.C [20世紀90年代之前,不論簡樸還是豪華,proms都屬傳統(tǒng)型的(conventional),后來才產(chǎn)生了非傳統(tǒng)型的,據(jù)此排除A項;全文提到的proms的舉辦場地有學(xué)校體育館、大飯店等,但沒有一處提到church,故排除B;第三段說自20世紀30年代proms普及以來,中學(xué)生及家長越來越重視,將其看作中學(xué)生重大社交活動。據(jù)此可確認答案為C;根據(jù)第二段可知,19世紀90年代prom還只是成人間的社交舞會,根本未進入學(xué)校,故排除D。]
45.A [第三段首句、第四段第二句和第一段首句分別明確而具體地交代了B、C、D選項中的信息,只有選項A中的信息在第四段中有暗示“who do not secure dates”,此處的“dates”指約會的戀人。]
