‎2019版高考英语阅读理解一轮练题（10）‎ 李仕才 A We had a TV series in London. One of our fellow TV presenters seriously upset the camera crew when they arrived at his house. He was rude and unconcerned, treating them like lowly workers. Minutes later, when the camera was turned on, he became the perfectly smiling spiritual figure he was publicly known to be. But, as the crew told us later, he had already shown them that he didn't walk his talk.‎ In contrast, Ed was meeting with Jo, our TV producer, in a small London cafe. If you have ever been to London you'll know that in such cafe the tables are very close. Two well dressed African men sat down next to them, which effectively meant they were sharing the same table. Ed asked the two strangers where they were from and one said,  "South Africa. " The man pulled out his business card—his name was Jacob Zuma who, at that time, was the President of the ANC but is now the President of South Africa.‎ Usually, if you sit next to someone in a big city cafe, you don't even make eye contact, let alone conversation.  Jacob had never met Ed before so he could have been distant and polite, he certainly didn't have to talk, let alone maintain communication, which he did over the following few years. He even hugged him!‎ How we walk our talk shows far more than just our public behavior. Rather, it highlights how we view the world and our place in it. Jacob Zuma showed us how he treats others—with the fairness, consideration and respect that he treats all beings. No matter who we are, whether a street cleaner or a president, we are all equal, here together as one human family.‎ ‎1.What can we learn about the TV presenter?‎ A.

Minutes later, when the camera was turned on, he became the perfectly smiling spiritual figure he was publicly known to be.可知，这位电视节目主持人对待同事粗鲁不礼貌，当面对镜头，他就成了众所周知的完美的精神形象。因此推断他是一个言行不一的人。故选C。‎ ‎3.C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句In contrast, Ed was meeting with Jo, our TV producer, in a small London cafe.可知，Ed去咖啡馆是为了见一个电视节目制片人。故选C。‎ ‎4.D 【解析】主旨大意题。纵观全文可知，文章通过举例讲述了我们如何做到言行一致，礼貌待人。我们的谈话方式是我们的公共行为，表明我们如何看待世界和我们在社会中的地位，因此我们应该公平的、体贴的、尊重地对待别人。故选D。‎ B Regarded as one of the English language’s most gifted poets,John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery,human nature,and philosophy.Although Keats 10‎ ‎ didn’t receive much formal literary education,his own studies and passion brought him much success.Additionally,his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.‎ Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family,young John didn’t attend a private school,but went to a public one.His teachers and his family’s friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies.After his father’s death in the early 1800s,followed by his mother’s passing away due to tuberculosis(结核病),he began viewing life differently.He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.‎ At around the age of 16,the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor.However,his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy,especially with his addiction to the poetry of Edmund Spencer.He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816,entitled O Solitude!If I Must With Thee Dwell.Within two months in 1817,Keats had written an entire volume of poetry,but was sharply criticized by a magazine.However,the negative response didn’t stop his love of rhythm.‎ John Keats’ next work was Endymion,which was published in May 1818.The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy’s hope to overcome the limitations of being human.Following Endymion,however,he tried something more narrative-based(叙事体的) and wrote Isabella.During this time,John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences.He would have to have the “knowledge” associated with his poems.His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned.However,a bout(发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually took his life in 1821.‎ ‎1.John Keats’ attitude towards life changed because of 　　　. ‎ A.his early education from school B.the deaths of his parents C.Edmund Spencer’s poetry D.the criticism of a magazine 10‎ ‎2.What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother?‎ A.They read many books.‎ B.They had a bad childhood.‎ C.They died of the same disease.‎ D.They showed strong interest in poetry.‎ ‎3.While trying to achieve his dream of becoming a poet first,John Keats was 　　　. ‎ ‎　　　　　　　　　　‎ A.determined B.experienced C.knowledgeable D.impatient ‎4.What do we know from the passage?‎ A.Keats received little education at school.‎ B.Endymion was about a real love story.‎ C.In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem.‎ D.Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.‎ ‎1.B　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“After his father’s death in the early 1800s,followed by his mother’s passing away due to tuberculosis,he began viewing life differently.He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.”可知他对待人生的态度发生转变是在他父母去世后。‎ ‎2.C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“...followed by his mother’s passing away due to tuberculosis...”可知他的母亲死于肺结核,再根据文章最后一句话“However,a bout(发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually took his life in 1821.”可知他也死于肺结核。‎ ‎3.A　推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Although Keats didn’t receive much formal literary education,his own studies and passion brought him much success.Additionally,his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.”可知是他自己的学习和热情使他在诗歌方面取得了巨大的成功,再根据后几段的内容可知无论家庭遭遇变故还是自己受到批评,“...the negative response didn’t stop his love of rhythm.”所以可以得出他是意志力坚定的人。‎ ‎4.D　推理判断题。根据文章第三段首句“At around the age of 16,the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor.”可知Keats 10‎ 曾经学过医,故D项正确。‎ C Traditional businessmen feel worried that growing ecommerce will reduce their share of the market.‎ According to a survey, 90% of some people's purchases are made on the computer. As they find that by being able to go online and choose the things that they need to choose, and have them delivered right to their doorsteps, they could no longer be bothered with driving, the crowds, the noise of that, and they usually get a better selection.‎ Cornell University Marketing Professor, MeLaughlin says traditional stores can keep their customers by offering goods like clothing, which customers may want to see and try on before purchasing, as well as items that are difficult to ship. He says some traditional stores are also pleasing customers with services that set up or repair computers and electronics.‎ Traditional stores also offer a social experience that some shoppers enjoy. There is still a lot of emotion in the buying decision that takes place. Oftentimes, you need that last sense of “this is exactly what I want” before you part with money. And you can't always get that online. It's a rather cold process.‎ As more and more people have Internet access and smart phones, online commerce is likely to continue its growth here in the United States and in other countries.‎ 文章大意：本文为一篇议论文。越来越流行的网购严重冲击着传统商业市场，那么传统商业怎么能够留住顾客呢？对此本文专家给出了几点建议。‎ ‎1．Traditional businessmen feel upset because ________.‎ A．consumers can get a better selection by shopping online B．more and more people purchase things on the computer C．people like to have their goods delivered to their house D．growing online sales will cut their share of the market 答案：D　细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Traditional businessmen feel worried that growing ecommerce will reduce their share of the market.”可知，答案D符合文义。‎ ‎2．According to McLaughlin, some traditional stores are keeping customers by ________.‎ A．providing customers with extra services B．inviting customers to try on clothing 10‎ C．delivering goods to each doorstep D．repairing computers and electronics only 答案：A　细节理解题。根据文章第三段的最后一句“He says some traditional stores are also pleasing customers with services that set up or repair computers and electronics.”可以推知，答案A“给顾客提供额外的服务”符合文义。‎ ‎3．From the 4th paragraph, we know that ________.‎ A．online shoppers tend to be cold to each other B．the process of shopping online is full of emotion C．some shoppers like the social climate in traditional stores D．making buying decisions in traditional shops is difficult 答案：C　细节理解题。根据文章第四段第一句“Traditional stores also offer a social experience that some shoppers enjoy.”可知，答案C符合文义。‎ ‎4．What is the author's attitude towards the future online commerce?‎ A．Doubtful.

B.To annoy the jury.‎ C.To help his client. D.To save himself.‎ ‎3.Why did the jury look at the door eagerly?‎ A.The lawyer’s words must be true.‎ B.They expected his family to come in.‎ C.They were surprised and taken in by the lawyer.‎ D.They thought the person on trial was escaping.‎ ‎4.What did the representative’s answer mean in the last paragraph?‎ A.They firmly believed that nobody was killed.‎ B.The behavior of the client gave him away.‎ C.The jury still needed more evidence to prove it.‎ D.The lawyer’s words were worth thinking about.‎ ‎1.B　细节理解题。根据文章第一句话“A person is on trial for murder in a court room in Oklahoma.”可知,他是因为谋杀罪被审判。‎ 10‎ ‎2.C　推理判断题。根据第二段第一句话以及第四段律师的陈述“...therefore,put it to you that there is a reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was killed and insist that you return a verdict of no guilty.”可知他的目的是为犯罪嫌疑人辩护。‎ ‎3.C　推理判断题。根据第三、四段内容可知律师耍了个伎俩,迷惑了陪审团,所以可以断定是被骗了。‎ ‎4.B　细节理解题。根据最后一句话“Answers the representative,‘Oh,we did look.But your client didn’t.’”可知虽然陪审团被迷惑了,可诉讼委托人心里明白,所以他的行为暴露了自己。‎ E Throughout the whole year,the 60 museums and theatres in Hannover‎,‎Germany,will feature one top event after another.‎ It bears the title of UNESCO(United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization)City of Music and takes its place in the international UNESCO network of Creative Cities.The range of musical education facilities,the city’s impressive achievements in the music and creative business,the wide range of performances—from pop,rock and jazz right through to ancient,classical and new music—and its many top-class choirs(合唱团)were all factors that convinced the UNESCO Committee in Paris.‎ There is music in the air in Hannover all year round:the A cappella week(25 April-3 May)and the Masala World Beat Festival(17 June-28 June),for example,take their audiences on a pleasant trip.Every year on Ascension Day,Hannover is transformed into the capital of jazz when it attracts tens of thousands to listen to excellent jazz music from all over the globe.‎ ‎“Simply making music”is the motto of the global music festival“Fête de la Musique”.Like hundreds of other cities throughout the world,Hannover celebrates this major festival for tolerance and international understanding on 21 June every year.Terrific bands will take the stage at the NDR Plaza Festival and the N-Joy Starshow(29&30May).Music lovers can also look forward to the Fährmannsfest(31 July-2 August).‎ 10‎ Every year,visitors can find out for themselves just how good Hannover Region sounds during the “Kultursommer”,when classical music events are on the bill in the HCC Kuppelsaal,the largest concert hall anywhere in Germany.Every three years,Stiftung Niedersachsen invites outstanding young violinists from all over the world to compete here in Hannover. ‎ ‎1.What’s the second paragraph mainly about?‎ A.Why music is popular in Hannover.‎ B.What music we can enjoy in Hannover.‎ C.How to convince the UNESCO Committee.‎ D.What makes Hannover a UNESCO City of Music.‎ 答案:D 解析:段落大意题。根据第二段中的“...allfactorsthatconvincedtheUNESCOCommitteeinParis”可知,该段主要介绍了汉诺威被联合国教科文组织评为“音乐之城”的原因。‎ ‎2.What can be inferred about Fête de la Musique?‎ A.It encourages people to make simple music.‎ B.It’s the biggest music event in Germany.‎ C.A variety of music is played during it.‎ D.It includes many music competitions.‎ 答案:C 解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中的“‘Simplymakingmusic’isthemottooftheglobalmusicfestival‘FêtedelaMusique’...Hannovercelebratesthismajorfestivalfortoleranceandinternationalunderstanding...”可知,FêtedelaMusique这一音乐节仅仅关乎音乐,并且体现了包容和国际化这一主题。由此可推测,在这一音乐节上会有不同类型的音乐被演奏。‎ ‎3.Which of the following events lasts longest?‎ A.The Fährmannsfest.‎ B.Fête de ‎la Musique.‎ C.The N-Joy Starshow.‎ D.The Masala World Beat Festival.‎ 10‎ 答案:D 解析:细节理解题。通读全文可知,四个音乐节的举办时间分别为7月31日~8月2日,6月21日,5月29、30日,6月17日—6月28日。由此不难看出,MasalaWorldBeatFesitval的持续时间最长。‎ ‎4.The underlined words“Stiftung Niedersachsen”in the last paragraph is most probably the name of 　　　. ‎ A.a university　　　　　　B.a famous band C.an organization D.a famous person 答案:C 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一句内容可知,StiftungNiedersachsen每三年都会邀请全球范围内的优秀小提琴选手来汉诺威参加比赛,由此判断它应该是一个机构名称。‎ 10‎
