‎2019高考英语二轮阅读理解精选专练系列（01）及解析 A Monarch Butterflies One of the last West Coast homes of the Monarch butterfly, a type of insect may soon disappear. Strangely, it is in a town that calls itself Butterfly U.S.A.‎, Pacific Grove‎, ‎California. ‎ The town of Pacific Grove loves the butterflies. Every year they have a parade (游行) and hundreds of children dress up as butterflies. Monarch butterflies are the town mascot. Tourism is very important, and many people come to see the butterflies. The butterflies are good for the development of the town. ‎ In 1981 there were so many butterflies it looked like it was raining butterflies. Tens of thousands of Monarchs stayed on tree branches near Pacific Grove. Now there are not so many. The building goes on a little bit at a time, and you don’t notice it day by day. Over time, you can see that there has been a lot of development. As new buildings go up, many trees are cut down. This reduces the natural homes for the butterflies.‎ Monarchs travel hundreds of miles each year, returning to the same woods, often to the same trees. The female Monarchs need milkweed to lay their eggs; the males will follow the females.‎ Millions of Monarchs have traveled regularly along the same path for thousands of years. They start their trip in the mountains of Mexico and travel to the middle part of America. If the woods where the butterflies live are destroyed, the whole species (物种) could be lost. There have been Monarch butterflies along the coast of California for as long as man can remember, but no one is sure how much longer they will last.‎ ‎56．Which of the following is true about Monarch butterflies in Pacific Grove?‎ ‎ A．They have disappear.‎ B．They come to stay every year.‎ C．They help develop the town’s tourism.‎ D．They give a name to Pacific Grove.‎ ‎57．The underlined word “mascot” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ________.‎ ‎ A．a new type of butterfly B．an insect believed to bring good luck C．a parade organized by ‎Pacific Grove D．a special dress for children in ‎Pacific Grove ‎58．What problem do Monarch butterflies face now?‎ ‎ A．New buildings take up their living space.‎ B．There has been too much rain in recent years.‎ C．Their natural homes are destroyed by tourism.‎ D．They have to travel a long distance to get home.‎ ‎59．Where do Monarch butterflies start their trip to Pacific Grove?‎ ‎ A．From Central America.

This beautifully animated film(动画片)is a first class production in every way, and features the familiar voices of Kristin Chenoweth, Anjelica Huston, Jane Horrocks, Lucy Liu, and Raven Symone. The movie offers up an adventure that's easy enough to follow, but complex enough to hold one's attention, and even throws in a nice little moral about friendship. What can I say? I'm pleasantly surprised.‎ The up-and-coming Mae Whitman voices Tinker Bell herself, a far more dynamic character than we encountered in Peter Pan. Though Tinker still possesses her fiery temper, it doesn't manifest itself immediately, and takes a backseat to this pixie's many good qualities. As it turns out, Tinker Bell is extremely skilled at tinkering（修补）, so she is a natural choice to build a special scepter(拐杖)， for Pixie Hollow's Autumn Celebration. The scepter will hold the moonstone through which the light of the Blue Moon will pass, supplying Pixie Hollow with enough pixie dust for the year ahead.‎ For days, Tinkers works hard on the perfect scepter design while her good friend Terrence does his best to assist. When Terrence accidentally breaks the Moon Stone, Tinker Bell "explodes" and sends him away. One of Tinker's more literal friends finds this extremely concerning, as she doesn't quite understand that the outburst was emotional rather than physical —very funny indeed.‎ After hearing the legend of the lost treasure, Tinker Bell strikes out on her own to find a new Moon Stone. She faces many difficulties and meets new friends along the way, but when Terrence comes to the rescue at Tinker's darkest hour, she realizes the value of a truly loyal friend. Though the film is engaging and offers a positive message to young viewers, it's the animation that makes Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure stand out. Pixie Hollow is an enchanting, visually stunning world basked in lush colors. It's so lovely, so detailed, so three-dimensional that you almost want to step inside.‎ ‎60．From the first paragraph, we can learn that .‎ ‎ A．many famous actors acted important roles in the film B．the plot of the film is attractive and easy to understand C．the write feels surprised at the message of friendship in the film D．the film Tinker Bill and the Lost Treasure may disappoint you if you love magic tales ‎61．What’s the correct order of the following details?‎ ‎ a．Tinker Bell realizes the value of a truly loyal friend.‎ b．Terrence breaks the Moon Stone by accident.‎ c．Tinker Bell is determined to build a special scepter.‎ d．Terrence comes to the rescue when Tinkers was in trouble.‎ A．c b d a B．b c d a C．b c a d D．c d a b ‎ ‎62．In the writer’s opinion, the characteristics of Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure are the following EXCEPT .‎ ‎ A．the attractive details B．the lively animation characters C．the three-dimensional animation ‎ D．the moving love story between Tinker Bell and Terrence ‎63．The article picked from a website is a(n) .‎ ‎ A．movie poster B．movie review C．introduction to a book D．person introduction C When a Filipino lady is to be married, she will be the busiest person in the scene. She wants her big day to be great and memorable because most Filipinos marry only once. The bride-to be, usually loses weight before her big day because of stress, Those who can afford to pay for a wedding planner are free from worries. But average Filipinos who have no wedding planner have many things to prepare. Most brides starts with the with the small details.‎ ‎ The color or the design ‎ Ladies are particular about color combinations. They will make sure that the flowers will perfectly match the dresses of the bride’s maids and the flower girls. The small flower worn by the wedding host is in perfect combination with the whole design.‎ ‎ The souvenirs(纪念品)‎ ‎ Most Filipino brides make their own wedding souvenirs to give away to their guests. They will buy the material and make the souvenirs themselves. They will spend their precious time to make them very attractive to their guests. They will be satisfied when their guests say,“Wow, I like it,”To them, it’s worth the hard work.‎ Preparing the invitations is a stressful job for the bride and the groom. They will starts with the listings of all possible guests. It’s stressful because if their budget is good only for 50 people and the expected guests on the list is 100, there is a problem. Filipinos think their friends and relatives will feel bad if they do not receive an invitation; whether they can attend or not, they are expecting an invitation. Usually, the couple will stretch their budget for the extras just not to disappoint friends and relatives.‎ ‎64．Filipino ladies to be marred will .‎ ‎ A．not have to worry B．have much work to do C．invite a wedding planner D．organize the wedding all by herself ‎65．What can we infer from the passage?‎ ‎ A．The wedding host can wear any flower.‎ B．The wedding souvenirs are usually expensive C．A Filipino lady gets married only once because of stress.‎ D．Even if a friend can’t attend a wedding, he still wants to receive an invitation.‎ ‎66．What’s the best title of the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A．The Wedding Invitations B．The Wedding Dress C．The Wedding Budget D．The Wedding Problem ‎67．The writer wrote the passage to .‎ ‎ A．tell us how to have a happy wedding B．tell us the Filipino wedding tradition C．teach us how to write wedding invitation cards D．show us how a Filipino lady prepare for a wedding D Some people who find themselves unable to solve a problem react by just giving up . But it is not good to escape from problems by giving up or by making excuses for failures. You may be sure that all young people go through the same difficult process that you are going through： meeting new situations, developing new skills, and testing their abilities.‎ If you are unhappy about something, face it. Try to state the problem in a few words, so that you will know exactly what you are up against. Then see if you can put your finger on the cause of your unhappiness.‎ In many cases, we only “think” there is no solution to a particular problem. But often we can overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack. ‎ For example, a boy wanted to be a debater. When he tried out for the debating team as a freshman , the coach thought he was hopeless .He was shy ; he had a high-pitched （音调） voice ; and his posture （体态） was poor . Although he was given little hope of success, he took advantage of very opportunity to debate. He studied successful speakers and sized up his own weaknesses and assets. Then he spent many hours learning all the facts on the topics for debate, and worked a developing good posture and at speaking clearly. By his junior year, he made the school debating team, and in his senior year he was on the winning team in his state. He achieved his goal because he had made a direct attack upon his problem.‎ Although direct attack is often the best way to meet problems, we have to be realistic in judging situations. Sometimes it is necessary to change either the tactics （策略） or the goal .‎ A boy who wants to be a great football player may be too light and not quite fast enough for football. In this situation, becoming a great football player may be an unreasonable goal for him. However, he may become outstanding in tennis or golf, and satisfy his desire to take part in sports.‎ A girl who had plain features may decide that she cannot win popularity with her face, and so she may try to develop an interesting personality, which eventually will get her much further. In this situation, she must change her method of achieving her goal.‎ So, although direct attack is often the best way to handle problems, it is important to study the situation and make a wise decision about what to do.‎ ‎68．The underlined phrase in the second paragraph probably means . ‎ A．point out B．look into C．press down D．give up ‎69．What does the author mean by taking example from the boy who wanted to be a debater?‎ ‎ A．We can escape from problems by making excuses for failures.‎ B．We can overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.‎ C．It is necessary to change our method of achieving our goal.‎ D．It is important to be realistic in judging situations.‎ ‎70．Which of the following can be the main idea of the text?‎ A．Some people who find themselves unable to solve a problem react by just giving up. ‎ B．If you are unhappy about something, face it, and try to state the problem in a few words.‎ C．All young people go through the same difficult process that you are going through.‎ D．Although direct attack is often the best way to handle problems, it is important to study the situation and make a wise decision about what to do.‎ ‎71．The writer expresses his arguments by .‎ ‎ A．reasoning and giving examples B．introducing and making comparisons C．explaining and giving figures D．describing and making comments E ‎ My bookshelves are full of dust — and with good reason. When it comes to cleaning that part of my home, I suffer from the most serious case of avoidance (回避反应症).‎ The thing is this: when I do set out to clean and re-organize my books, which seldom happens, I place myself into a really bad situation. No sooner do I take a title from the shelf, blow off the dust, and wipe down the cover than I find myself sitting on the floor with legs crossed and my back against the wall. Pretty soon books get piled up on my legs as I am reunited with old friends.‎ It is as if these books have voices, and each wants to say its piece. “Remember me? I was given to you when you went into the Navy, so that you would never lack for companionship,” one whispers. Another says, “I was your first book of poems, given to you before you learned to love poetry.” And a third, “I was the book that made history so attractive to you.” ‎ Perhaps the greatest pleasure of re-organizing my books are the surprises — or better said, reunions — that occur. During my latest book-cleaning adventure, I found one that had fallen behind the shelf: “Tales of Edgar Allan Poe.” Not an unusual title, but the words written on the first page made it very special: “With Love from Mom and Dad, Christmas 1965.” What’s this? A book on the physics of lasers（激光）. It is filled with mathematical statements, and I had bought it at a library sale when I was 12, not long after the laser had been invented. I couldn’t understand a bit of it, but I did learn what “laser” meant.‎ What I end up with when I empty my bookshelves is a cross-section (横剖面) of my personal history. It’s like a road cut where one sees all the layers of rock going back through time to the beginning of the simplest life forms. The books I’ve read — and kept — are not just old friends. They are my résumé.‎ ‎72．What can be inferred about the author? ‎ A．He is too busy to tidy up his bookshelves. ‎ B． He considers his books treasured possessions. ‎ C．He has made a lot of notes in his books. ‎ D． He is a lover of science books. ‎ ‎73．By saying that his books have voices, the author means .         ‎ A．they bring back happy memories B．they are recorded in human voice C．they say a lot about human history D．they offer good topics for discussion ‎74．What does the author enjoy most from re-organizing his books? ‎ A．Finding some missing books. ‎ B．Putting books in good order. ‎ C．Learning something new from the books. [来源:]‎ D．Rediscovering interesting stories behind some books. ‎ ‎75．By sharing his own experience, the author wants to express that .‎ A．the course of cleaning his bookshelves is like going back to his history ‎ B．he has suffered from the most serious case of avoidance ‎ C．the re-organizing of his books is a surprising adventure D．the books on his bookshelves have voices 参考答案 一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一
