‎2014高考英语二轮阅读理解三月特训 ‎【广东省2013届高三考前冲刺卷(三)】B A woman and her elderly uncle were waiting for a bus at a corner in downtown Chicago.Buses came by，not the one they wanted.The woman finally halfentered one of the buses and asked the driver if the bus she wanted stopped at that corner.‎ The driver looked at her but made no answer，so she repeated the question.To her surprise，he then closed the door，by her arm，and drove off.‎ The woman，her arm stuck in the door，ran alongside the bus，shouting.Passengers said the driver stopped after almost a block only because they，too，were shouting.‎ When the driver finally did stop and open the door，the woman jumped on the bus to get his bus number.Then he took off again and went another couple of blocks before other shouting passengers persuaded him to stop and let the woman off.‎ After the driver’s bosses at a taxsupported governmental company(CIA) heard of the incident，they looked into it and set his punishment：a fiveday suspension(停职) without pay.That struck me as rather light.‎ But Bill Baxa，the company’s pubicrelations man，said，“That’s a pretty serious punishment.”‎ Five days off work is a serious punishment for dragging a woman alongside a bus by her arm？Baxa said，“Any time you take money away from someone，it is a terrible punishment.The driver makes $14 an hour.Multiply that by 40 and you can see what he lost.”‎ Yes，that comes to $560，a good sum.But we know that people in the private company are fired for far less minor mistakes.If the people who run the bus company think that the loss of a week’s pay is more than enough，I offer them a sporting(公正的) suggestion：Give me a bus.Then have their wives stick their arms in the doorway of the bus，and I’ll slam the door shut，start the bus quickly and take them for a fast oneblock run.And I’ll pay $560 to anyone who is bold enough to try it.Any ‎ takers？Mr. Baxa？Anyone？I didn’t think so.‎ ‎31．The nurse halfentered one of the buses because________.‎ A．the bus they wanted didn’t stop there B．she wanted the driver to stop the bus C．she wanted to get some information from the driver D．she and her uncle couldn’t wait any longer at the corner ‎32．How many blocks was the woman away from the corner where she waited when the bus driver finally let her off?‎ A．Almost one block.‎ B．Almost two blocks.‎ C．Probably three blocks.‎ D．Probably five or six blocks.‎ ‎33．Why did the author offer a sporting suggestion?‎ A．Because the CTA paid little attention to the incident.‎ B．Because he bus driver had not been fired.‎ C．Because he wanted to threaten the CTA people.‎ D．Because he thought the punishment was a light one.‎ ‎34．From this passage we may infer that________.‎ A．many people in the private sector are fired for minor mistakes every day B．people in the private sector usually get more serious punishment than those in the public sector C．people in the private sector get much higher pay than those in the public sector D．people in the private sector are better trained

‎31．C　[从第一段最后一句的后半部分可知，她问情况，也就是打听信息。]‎ ‎32．C　[根据文章第三段最后一句和第四段最后一句，关键词语：almost a block和another couple of blocks可确定答案为C项。]‎ ‎33．D　[第五段最后一句已点明了原因。]‎ ‎34．B　[从第八段的第二句可看出：私营公司的人员会因很小的错误而被开除，说明在私营公司的人员所受的处分要重得多。]‎ ‎35．D　[文章中虽然说了Give me a bus，但这并不是作者的本意，作者提出这种建议主要是提醒人们对这个问题进行换位思考。故D项的说法是错误的。]‎ ‎ [广告型阅读理解]---- (三)‎ Summer Movie Preview Green Lantern
