2013 高考英语阅读理解(4 月)训练(30)及答案
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Most of us long for relationships in which we are loved and accepted. Our hearts’
desire is to give and receive love in relationships that make us feel that even if
others disagree with what we do or say, they still love us, accept us, and appreciate
what we give to the world. While it would be wonderful to have these types of
relationships with all people, we know that’s hard to do. However, we can have such
relationships with some others, but only when we first have them with ourselves—and,
strangely, this is often the hardest relationship of all.
Do you love yourself? You may think you do, but do you really? There’s only one
way to find out---by taking a close look at what you think, say, and do. You may not
like some of what you find, but if you are serious about really loving yourself, you
can use this insight to do some positive inner work. Here’re three ways for gaining
greater personal insight for deeper love:
Listen Closely to Your Thoughts
Your thoughts will determine your actions. One thing helping you to listen to your
thoughts is keeping a journal. It is not necessary for you to write in it every day,
but it helps to record various insights you gain as you go about your life. Instead
of using a big notebook, you might use a small notepad that you can keep in your pocket
for easy access to record your thoughts as they occur to you. Whichever method you
choose, what’s most important is that you write your thoughts down. It will help
you know what’s in your heart.
Be Honest with Yourself
To do this, you should pay attention to your actions. Actions speak louder than
words, and they always tell the truth. If you say you love your job, but your actions
say otherwise, which do you think is more reliable? On the other hand, if you say
you’re not good at a certain job, but your actions say otherwise, that’s also

important. What do you do with this insight? You can use it to make more positive
choices in your life. By being honest with yourself, you will act according to truth
instead of just what you tell yourself.
Take Quiet Time to Listen to Your Inner Voice
This is similar to the first point, but it takes a step further---beyond the natural
mind to the heart that cannot be seen. You may want to use your quiet time to think
deeply. However you use this time, the key is to shut out all of the noise around
you by focusing deep within yourself. Breathing deeply during quiet time will also
help you focus. I know it’s hard to find quiet time during a particularly busy day,
but it’s so important---even if it’s just 10 minutes a day and you have to hide
somewhere to get it. Quiet time can really make a difference in your life.
Despite what your mind may be telling you, you can have love with no limits. The
key is to unconditionally love yourself first.

A. know whether we really love ourselves
B. appreciate what we give to the world

(2011·全国 II)D
The way we do things round here
Some years ago, I was hired by an American bank. I received a letter from the head
of the Personnel Department that started, "Dear John, I am quite pleased that you
have decided to join us." That "quite" saddened me. I thought he was saying "we're
kind of pleased you decided to join
us although I wish we had hired someone else." Then I discovered that in American
English "quite"sometimes means "very", while in British English it means "fairly".
So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and
by that I don't
just mean the words people speak. It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so
on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures
(文化).
Some of these differences may be only on the surface 一 dress, food and hours of work
一 while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a question
of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate(气候),
while getting on with business.
Some of the differences may be an improvement. People are more polite; the service
is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again.

However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality(准时).If you invite
people to a party at 7 o'clock
your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes
early in the
American Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an
hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use
the word "late" because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is
simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.
52. The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought______.
A. the American bank didn't think much of him
B. the American bank might hire another person
C. it's difficult to get used to American culture
D. it's easy to misunderstand Americans
53.The word "highlights" in Paragraph 2 probably means_____.
A. encourages B. helps to narrow
C. increases D. draws attention to
54. According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences?
A. Ask the native people for help.
B. Understand and accept them.
C. Do things in our own way.
D. Do in-depth research.
55. When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are______.
A. Italians B. Germans C. Greeks D. the British

B
The trip to the United Stated opened my eyes to the fact that there are a lot
of similarities as well as differences between American youth and French youth.
只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力,才能尝到成功的滋味。
- 5 -
The first difference is in appearance. Going around in the U.S., I found that
American youth do not really care about their appearance. In the morning, they choose
something in their closet and wear it with another thing, often of different colors
and styles, without wondering whether their choices make them look strange. The reason
behind this is that they don’t care what people look like, but are just interested
in their ideas. I think it’s great, but it also causes problems. Since they don’t
care about their appearance, they don’t really care about their weight. Often they
get fat without realizing it.
There are differences in relationships too. When the American youth fall in love,
they don’t really think of the future. Also, there are differences in the rules
concerning behavior that is allowed. In some respects, the French are more accepting.
For example, in America it is generally unacceptable to make physical display of love.
Lovers, in theory, can’t kiss or hold each other everywhere they want. People think
that not showing love in public places is a way to respect others. On the contrary,
the French youth can do almost everything they want.
With regard to other types of relationships, there are also big differences.
Americans act differently from French people in front of unknown people. When an
American girl, for example, arrives in front of people she has never met before, she
will talk with them, trying to create a kind of bond between her and this new circle
of people. The French girls will just think about rather than really do this kind
of thing because they are too shy and lacking in self-confidence.
To finish, I noticed that in American classes, when pupils want to say or ask
something, they just do it. In general, they don’t really care how the others will
judge them. In France, it’s not the same case. If somebody wants to ask something,
he/she will think about it before speaking up. I appreciate the freedom in Americans’
behavior, ideas, and ways of expressing themselves.
5. American young people _______.
A. are just interested in people’s clothes B. show more interest in people’s
ideas
C. care more about their weight D. are more concerned about appearance
