只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 1 四川泸县 2017 高考英语一轮阅读理解基础练习 2016 高考训练（由 2014·湖北卷 D 改编） You’ve flown halfway around the world; you’ve sniffed out this place that nobody in Falongland or Thailand seems to have ever heard of; so what on earth is there to do here? You consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand. It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee. By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out, it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland. Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin, about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok, down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand. Not many tourists find this place, and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along. There’s an apparent laziness that surrounds you here. It’s what this place offers, and it’s free of charge. The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down. You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest. You sit there and watch the sea. It’s early afternoon, so the cook comes out and asks what you’d like to eat this evening. Before long he’s rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered—every meal fresh and to order. No menu here. There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm, clear blue sea. There’s no street noise. The only sounds are the murmurs of nature. For now you just count your blessings (福祉), listing them in the sand with your toe (脚趾). You don’t have to worry about being late for work. You don’t have to do anything. The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon (地平线), slowly narrowing to nothingness only to re-emerge again on your left, now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you. Sand to your left and sand to your right; it’s unbroken, endless. No start, no end, just sand, sun, and peace. Step off it, and you re-enter the world of traffic, stress, work, and hurry. Normally you’re the type who can’t sit still for more than ten minutes, but you’re on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and, in the right frame of mind, it stretches all the way around the world. “How could it take me so long to find it?” you wonder. 1. When the author first went to Huaplee Beach, ______. A. he found it unworthwhile B. he failed to sort himself out C. he became sensitive to smell D. he had difficulty in finding it 2. What is special about the food service at Huaplee Beach? A. No menu. B. Free food. C. Self service. D. Quick delivery. 3. In the author’s opinion, a tourist can enjoy Huaplee Beach most when he ______. A. sits in a beach chair B. forgets his daily routine C. plans a detailed schedule D. draws pictures in the sand 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 2 4. What does the author imply by his question at the end of the passage? A. He shouldn’t have counted his blessings. B. He should have understood the wonder of nature. C. He shouldn’t have spent so much time on the trip. D. He should have come to the place earlier. 文章大意：本文叙述了泰国美丽的海滨度假胜地 Huaplee，作者描述了这里美丽的景色，可口的饭菜以及缓 慢的生活节奏。目的在于吸引更多的人来到这里。 1.D。推理题。根据文章 2,3 段 It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee.

But a long life is not unalloyed good news.David Sinclair,head of policy and research at the International Longevity Centre UK,warned that for many the future may mean social isolation(隔 离)as they live longer than friends and members of their families. “It is of course good news that so many more people are living longer,”he said,“but there is a big problem.We will be older,but in worse health,and at high risk of living alone.The other 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 problem is that we are very poor at forward planning.We deal with the problems that are under our noses,but even problems two or three years away seem quite distant enough to put off.When you’re talking about forecasts for a time half a century away and more,I see no evidence that we are putting in place the measures to deal with it.” This year there will be 14,500 centenarians in the UK,a number which is expected to increase to 110,000 in 2035. Women have higher life expectancies than men at every age:the likelihood of a girl born this year reaching her century is estimated to be 39%;for boys the figure is 32%. The estimated number of female centenarians has risen from 500 in 1961 to more than 10,000 in 2010,a figure which is projected to reach 71,000 by 2035 and 276,000 by 2060. Men are also living far longer,although their numbers are far fewer.There was an estimated of 92 male centenarians in 1961 and just below 2,000 in 2010. 1.The underlined word “centenarians” probably means people who . A.are born this year B.live longer than their friends C.are in poor health D.are a hundred or more years old 2.From what David Sinclair said, we can learn . A.he doesn’t believe so many people are living longer B.the older we are, the more likely we are to live alone and in poor health C.the people who are good at forward planning are likely to live longer D.too distant planning is not always necessary for most of us 3.Which of the following statements is true?( ) A.About 289,100 people born in 2012 will live to 100. B.More men will reach their century than women in the future. C.The number of the female centenarians was 1,000 in 1970s. D.More than 600 people reached their century in 1961. 4.What does this passage mainly talk about?( ) A.A long life is not always good news. B.A long life also means social and physical isolation. C.In the future, more people will live to 100 in the UK. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 D.It is good to live to 100. 语篇解读:在英国,越来越多的人会活到 100 岁,但是那些老寿星们将面临年老体弱、孤独等问题。 答案及剖析:1.D 推理判断题。由第一段的内容可知,2012 年出生的婴儿到 22 世纪第二个十年的时候 将会收到 100 岁生日的信息,故 D 项正确。 2.B 细节理解题。由第三段 David Sinclair 说的话 We will be older,but in worse health,and at high risk of living alone 可知, 人活得越长,就越孤独而且身体不好,故选 B 项。 3.A 细节理解题。由第一段的最后一句话...35% of the 826,000 people born in 2012 will live to become centenarians 可知 A 项正确。由倒数第三段的内容可知 B 项错误;文章没有提到 C 项所涉及的内容; 由最后两段的...female centenarians has risen from 500 in 1961 和...92 male centenarians in 1961... 可知 D 项错误。 4.C 主旨大意题。由全文内容可知,本文讲述了英国会有更多的人活到 100 岁,故选 C 项。 【长难句子分析】 当你谈论关于半个世纪或更远的时间的预测时,我没看到我们有什么可以用来解决问题的措施。 2015 高考英语阅读理解（社会生活、说理议论）【2015·浙江】A From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation. When children are little we make them read aloud, before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they “know” all the words they are reading. This means that when they don’t know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously. One day soon after school had started, I said to them, “Now I’m going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, that’s enough for me. Also I’m not going to ask you what words mean. The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come to 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, Mr Holt, do you really mean that?” I said just as seriously, “I mean every word of it. During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk, From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself, “It can’t be,” and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick , in edition with woodcuts. I said, “Don’t you find parts of it rather heavy going?” She answered, Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part. “ This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is, an exciting, joyous adventure. Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else. How different is our mean-spirited, picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of “understanding” that can be dug out of a book. 41. According to the passage, children’s fear and dislike of books may result from________. A. reading little and thinking little B. reading often and adventurously C. being made to read too much D. being made to read aloud before others 42. The teacher told his students to read______ . A. for enjoyment B. for knowledge C. for a larger vocabulary D. for higher scores in exams 43. Upon hearing the teacher’s talk, the children probably felt that________. A. it sounded stupid B. it was not surprising at all C. it sounded too good to be true D. it was no different from other teachers' talk 44. Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage? A. She skipped over those easy parts while reading. B. She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks. C. She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books. D. She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school. 45. From the teacher's point of view,_________ . 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 6 A. children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while reading B. children should be left to decide what to read and how to read C. reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in school D. reading involves understanding every little piece of information 怕。 42. A 细节理解题 根据第二段作者的话“Now I’m going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, that’s enough for me. Also I’m not going to ask you what words mean.”“,but I want you to read them only for pleasure.” 意为“现在我要说一些关于阅读的事情，你可能从来没有听说过 一个老师说。我希望你读很多书，但今年，我想让你读书只为乐趣。我不想问你问题，是否理解文章。如果 你足够理解一个喜欢这本书，想去读它，这对我来说已经足够了。我也不想问你单词的意思。” 在这里 enjoyment，enjoy 和 pleasure 是同义词。所以答案选 A 45. B 细节理解题 四个选项的意思分别是 A 孩子在阅读的时候不能够区别好的部分以及不好的部分；B 应该 留给学生孩子自己去选择，读什么以及如何读；C 在学校阅读永远不会是一个愉快和启发性的体验；D 阅读需 要理解每一部分的信息。其实根据常识可以判断 C 和 D 是错误的，然后再结合全文大意，作者认为孩子不应 该是强迫去读，要让他们自己读，选择材料读。 【考点定位】 这是一篇记叙文。 【名师点睛】 记叙文的文章相对而言是比较容易做的，细节题占多数，但需要的是一个细心。答案都是在文 章中可以找到，必须一个一个选项匹配排除，最终才能够得出最佳答案。当遇到答案比较接近的时候，尤其 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 7 需要细心，比如说 41 题的 CD 选项，两者都用到了 being made to read。其实这种表达也间接说明了答案就 是在两个中选择一个。
