德阳市2019高考英语二轮短文类训练(17) 及答案或解析
【黄冈中学期中测试】
Doomed beauties such as Cleopata and Manilyn Monroe were far from alone in their misery. Very attractive people tend to form partnerships that are less stable and satisfying than those enjoyed by plain_Janes .
According to the research by Dr John Blaine of the University of Southern California, relationships between people whose professions largely depend on their appearance, such as models or actors, tend to end much faster than those between lawyers, doctors and students.
Blaine said the beautiful felt different from children. They are treated as special, which may create both arrogance (傲慢)and insecurity. All too often, beauty can be used as an alternative to education. Often they are pushed out of their class or town, told to go off and make their fortune in Hollywood or London and, when the majority fail, they have few talents to make a living.
Blaine added that beautiful people score poorly on the “big five”—the key factors American experts consider when helping distressed couples. These are neuroticism(神经过敏),including anger and anxiety; extroversion(性格外向);openness to new experiences; agreeableness; conscientiousness, and sticking by agreements they have made. Attractive people often see no reason to try to change until their looks start to fade.
Krista Sutherlanf, of the University of California Los Angeles, said partnerships that appeared to be perfect from the outside, such as the former “dream teams” of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise or Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley, where backgrounds and aspirations(抱负) are often shared ,did not necessarily lead to happiness.
1.What can we infer from the first sentence of the passage?
A.Beautiful women always felt lonely.
B.Beautiful women were always alone.
C.Many beautiful women didn’t end up with a happy life.
D.Beautiful women always lived a happy life.
2.The underlined phrase “plain Janes” in the passage refers to“________”.
A.ordinarylooking women B.women called Jane
C.common people D.attractive women
3.We can infer from the passage that________.
A.Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley were a couple
B.Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were very satisfied with their life
C.when they fail in Hollywood, the beautiful have little trouble in making a living
D.the marriage of the beautiful often lasts long
4.Which of the following is the best title?
A.Five key factors affecting the partnership B.Beauties are doomed to fail in love
C.Beautiful or common? D.The beauties are different
【解题导语】 本文为议论文,作者论证了这样一个观点:美女并不幸福。
1. 答案C 解析:考查推理判断。第一段说漂亮的人,其partnership 往往不如普通人的稳定和让人满意,由此判断,文章开头说“克莱奥帕特拉和玛丽莲•梦露等美女的悲惨命运绝非个例”意在表明“很多美女的生活都不幸福”。
2. 答案A 解析:考查词义猜测题。从语境看,画线部分的plain Janes 指与前面提到的美女相对的、相貌平常的女性,因此选A。
3. 答案A 解析:考查推理判断。最后一段说,外界看上去很完美的关系,比如……未必最终有幸福的结局。再结合上文论述可判断Hugh Grant和Elizabeth Hurley是夫妻关系,故选A,其他选项都与文章内容不符。
4. 答案B 解析:考查主旨大意。文章主要论述了美女命运多舛的观点,并分析了其中的原因,故B项最适合为本文标题。

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. He had wanted a beautiful 1 in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well 2 it,he told him that was all he wanted.

young man's name written in gold. Angry,he 8 his voice to his father,and said,"With all your money you give me a Bible'?"
and 9 out of the house.
Many years passed and the young man was very 10 in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but 11 his father was very
old,and thought perhaps he should go to see him. 12 he could make arrangements,he received a telegram 13 him his father had passed away and willed all of his 14 to his son. When he arrived at his father's,sudden
sadness and regret 15 bis heart. He began to 16 his father's important papers and saw the still gift-wrapped Bible, just as he had 17 it years ago. With tears,he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. His father had carefully 18
a verse(诗), Mat thew 7-11, "And if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Heavenly Father which is in Heaven, give to those who ask him.'?"
As he read those words,a car key 19 from the back of the Bible. It had tag(标签)with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the 20 of his graduation,and the words. PAID IN FUILL.
1. A. computer B. bike C. car D. recorder
2. A. pay B. buy C. support D. afford
3. A. signs B. facts C. marks D. results
4. A. However B. Finally C. Quietly D. Actually
5. A. house B. room C. study D. office

7. A. excited B. nervous C. interested D. disappointed
8. A. raised B. changed C. improved D. increased

19.A. dropped B. appeared C. rolled D. showed
20.A. year B. date C. moment D. day
答案:
1.C 解析:此题难度不大,但很好地体现了完形填空的一个 显著特征,即通过上下文来理解文章,最后一段才告诉我们答案。
2.D 解析:依照儿子的想法,以父亲的经济实力,完全可以付 得起他所要求买的东西。pay后接钱数,buy表达不出儿子 的心情,afford付得起。
3.A 解析:此题难度较大,sign表示“迹象,显示”,即随着毕 业日子的来临,儿子期待能看到有关父亲准备礼物的迹象。
易误选D。
4.B 解析:本题考生易误选A.这就犯了完形填空中的一个 超前理解的错误,没有用事件发展的逻辑顺序来解题,即此处年轻人还不知道最后结果到底是什么,如若用however, 则表示提前明白了最后的结果,不符合文章的文意。finally 则表示好不容易才等来了这一天。
5.C 解析:此题只能以最佳答案来衡量,另外,study作为名词,意为“书房”,这一点考生必须清楚。
6.B解析:本题属于最佳选择题,用hand表示的更加具体、形象。
7.D 解析:难度较大,因为上文已经告诉我们父亲给的是一个包装好的盒子,与儿子一开始想象的送给他所希望得到的礼物有点出入,所以多少有些失望,但又不乏好奇。注意空格前的somewhat.
8.A 解析:此处表示儿子的一种生气,甚至是愤怒之情,所以是提高声调。change可以表示声音的改变,但无法表达出什么样的变化,improve完善,提高、与句意不符,increase主要表示在数量、尺寸、大小等上的提高。
9.D 解析:此处一定要深刻理解儿子看到礼物后的心情,特别是心理的落差,从而去选定答案。A选项,好像也可表达此意,但程度不如storm.解题时,考生一定要对storm有个转义理解,首先是同性的转化,另外要考虑情景。
10.B 解析:此题可以使用反推法,从下一句中“a beautiful home and wonderful family"可知他生意做的很成功。busy忙,但不一定成功;happy仅表示心情。
11.B 解析:本题易误选D(考虑到),主要受汉语影响。此处意为儿子猛然间意识到好多年没与父亲见面,父亲岁数也很大了。
12.D 解析:还没来得及做某事,某事就发生了。
13.C 解析:informs b of sth.通告某人某事。announce太正式,生硬。
14.B 解析:possession所有财产·,但不一定都是treasure(财宝),而wealth最易被错选了,但它是一个不可数名词。
15.A 解析:fill one'sheart充满心间,溢满心头。选beat是受heartbeat的影响,beat表示心脏的跳动。
16.C 解析:此处应为翻看、浏览,用search through,而pick up叩虽有整理之意,但不一定会看或翻阅。因为后文告诉了我们事件的发展。
17.D 解析:当年“我”非常恼怒,甚至失去理智地猛地把书一扔,夺门而出。A项虽然含义对,但无法表达出此意。
18.C 解析:此诗并非父亲所写,因为它是《圣经》里的内容,父亲只是用了其中的一句话来表达他的意思,即应是在文章中用笔把它划出来的内容。
19.A 解析:此外表示车钥匙从书中掉下来,由空格后的from我们可以得知选A.
20.B 解析:因为是年轻人当时毕业的时候想要这个礼物,所以填date比较具体、准确,而year时间太笼统,moment侧重于某一时刻。

1. A. enjoy B. support C. manage D. live
答案:B 指导:support sb./oneself当“养活、维持……的生计”讲,作者此处想自己将来能否养活自己?enioyoneself当“玩得高兴”讲;manage/1iVe后面不跟反身代词。
2. A. in B. for C. on D. of
答案:C 指导:onone's own"依靠自己”。作者此处强调的还是“养活自己”。
3. A. headed B. rushed C. returned D. turnd

答案:D 指导:从后面一句看,此处作者是不记得当时自己能“挣”多少钱,但确实很少。“得到”只能是具体的东西,而不能表示挣多少钱。
5. A. have B. cook C. help with D. prepare for
答案:C 指导:此处作者是在餐馆里打工,因此是“帮助准备”早饭。help with sth.“帮助干……”。作者是在打工,因此不一定是“做”
早饭,因此不用cook;prepare for breakfast当“准备吃早饭”讲,不合语境。
6. A. cleaned B. checked C. left D. closed
答案:A 指导:从作者当服务员的身份可断定,此处早饭过后,作者要“清理”房间。check意为“核查、核对”多指数字或答案;其他选项也不合题意。
7. A. once B. ever C. even D. never
答案:D 指导:作者应是“从来没有”到过男厕所。
8. A. afraid B. proud C. fond D. sorry

9. A. liked B. knew C. treated D. helped
答案:C 指导:此处作者拿自己生活圈子里的人跟来这儿的顾客做比较。作者因为出身中产阶级,因此大家对她都不错。

16. A. whatever B. whichever C. however D. whenev

17. A. looked down upon B. waited on
C. looked after D. helped out
答案:B 指导:wait on sb.当“伺候某人”讲,相当于servesb.。此处作者表示的意思是当别人伺候自己的时候,作者总是尽可能地体贴。lookafter当“照料”讲,helpout当“帮助某人摆脱(困境等)”讲,在此都不合题意。
18. A. worse B. hopeless
C. harder D. discouraging
答案:C 指导:此处作者强调服务行业是非常不容易的行业,尤其当人们对你不友好的时候,就更为“艰难”。“更为糟糕的”“无望的”“令人灰心的”都不合语境。
19. A. coldness B. impoliteness
C. cruelty D. failure
答案:D 指导:作者从第一次工作经历中获得了信心,因此意识到原来害怕的是“失败”,但现在知道真正的失败不是失败本身,而是你没有真正地去尝试。其他名词都偏离了作者要表达的思想。
20. A. at most B. at least C. in fact D. at last
答案:B 指导:此处用“至少”表示作者的观点:即使失败了,至少我知道自己已经尽力了。at most"至多"in fact"事实上” atlast"最终”都不合逻辑。
