2019 高考英语一轮阅读理解选练（12） A Friendship is one of the basic bonds between human beings. While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them. Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft. If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to express their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief. “No man is an island.” In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life. As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Outgoing persons enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas shy persons are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships. Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of closeness is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in one’s life but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Regardless of the level of closeness, all friendships are based on reciprocity (互惠), honesty and a certain amount of love and affection. 1.Who are more likely to suffer from psychological disorders without friends? A. Teenagers. B. Adults. C. The elderly. D.A couple. 2.What does the sentence “No man is an island” really mean? A. No man is willing to live on an island. B. Man usually doesn’t go to an island C. Everyone is related with our society. D. Our society is just like an island. 3.What can we learn about outgoing people? A. They like being alone. B. They are fond of making friends. C. They have intense friendships. D. They have fewer close friends indeed 4.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The formation of close friends. B. The number of real friends. C. Honesty, love and affection. D. Factors to determine the degree of closeness. 【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论讲述的是友谊的重要性。不论是青少年还是老 年人，都需要朋友的陪伴。没有人是孤立的，每个人都是社会的一部分，都需要他人的爱、陪 伴和关心。人人需要友谊，需要归属感。 1.A 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段首句“Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders.”可知，没有朋友的 青少年更可能遭受精神疾病。故选 A。 3.B 【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段尾句“Outgoing persons enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas shy persons are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships.”可在，外向的人喜欢交朋友。故选 B。 4.D 【解析】段落大意题。通读最后一段可知，本段讲述亲密程度是由许多因素决定的，不 管亲密程度如何，友谊都是建立在互惠，真诚，爱和情感的基础上的。 B (2015·黑龙江哈尔滨高三统考) Hunger is the greatest motive for the inexperienced cook.But many people are now worried that we are producing a generation without the slightest idea of how to cook—a generation that is frightened to cook.I have just received a handout from Focus on Food，which is running a competition to get children back into the kitchen.Has television cooking become a replacement for the real thing？Is this an age where famous professional cooks have turned cooking into a sort of show，with dishes far too difficult for the beginner to copy? I decided to ask my oldest daughter，Miranda，for her opinion.Are children learning enough about the importance of good cooking？Do they know cooking is a basic life skill？ Sociology and other “new” subjects are all very well，but without the ability to cook，or to understand the pleasure and principles of good food and its relationship to good health，are we really preparing them for adult life? Miranda started her cooking at the age of nine，when she decided to enter the Sainsbury’s Future Cook competition.She was motivated by a different kind of greed：the first prize—a trip to Disney World. The problem，from the parental point of view，was that if she made it through to the regional (区域性的) finals，she would have to cook her meal in front of the judges.Some 30,000 children entered and she made it through as the youngest regional finalist.Now she had to learn to cook.Her hands were not even big enough to hold the knife and slice the onions.Six Saturdays running we ate the same lunch—Mozzarella meatballs in fresh tomato juice and blueberry. First，she cooked by my side，then alone with timings and instructions.Finally，she went alone against the clock.The kitchen looked like a battlefield，but she had gained victory.The tiny be­capped figure then stood in an unknown Bristol hotel，looking like a professional who had been at the stove for years.She didn’t win，but she came home with ￡50 and the most valuable part of them all：confidence. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者的女儿参加了一个以让孩子回归厨房为目的 的烹饪比赛，为此孩子努力学习烹饪，虽然最后没有赢得比赛，但却赢得了信心。 1．The competition run by Focus on Food is intended for ________.

He summoned the best artists and architects from India，Turkey，Persia and Arabia and finally，the design was complete.It took more than twenty thousand men working over a period of 18 years to build the Taj Mahan，one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. The building itself stands on a marble.Platform 29 meters square and 6­7 meters high.Towers rise from each of the four corners.The Taj itself soars another 61 meters into the air.It is an eight­sided building made of white marble.

It’s absolutely true that kids should learn about how a credit card works and how to use it responsibly.But the idea that they need a card of their own to practise is questionable. Yes，credit cards are a teaching tool，but it’s the time you spend educating them about money management that does the teaching，not the piece of plastic.Sit down with your child—here we are referring to teens and walk them through your credit card statements.Point out important things like the due date，late fee warning，and APR(年 贷款利率)． If you have good credit，adding a child as an authorized user onto one of your credit cards also provides teachable moments.Allow kids to use the card to make specific purchases and require their participation in payment. Since the card is still in your name，you can take them off it at any point and cut off their access if they’re not able to handle the responsibility. Another option is to set them up with an account at a local bank that offers free use of a debit card(借记卡)．Unlike credit card，the debit card has no overdraft(透 支) function.Children can only use the card to pay for things and the money is taken directly from their bank account.If the account is empty，the worst that will happen is the card being declined at a cash register. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇议论文。一家网站认为给孩子办理信用卡有助于孩子养成良好 的消费习惯，增强他们的责任感。但是作者认为，父母教育孩子管理钱财的最好办法是把孩子 添加为自己的信用卡授权用户或为孩子建立借记卡账户。 1．Why does Mint.com advise parents to give middle school kids credit cards?

Not wanting to keep the superstar waiting, I arrived at nine, 20 minutes early. As I was catching up on e­mails, Selena quietly scooted into the seat next to me. No bodyguard. Not even a drop of makeup. She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much. Selena was wearing Bebe shorts. She had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate. After making small talk about what she wore for the shoot, she dived into the subject of her career. Selena declared 2012 the year of movies. She filmed three: Spring Breakers, a drama; The Getaway, an action flick; and Hotel Transylvania, a comedy. Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name. Now that her Disney days are behind her, Selena is at that unstable point in a child star's career where she is trying to grow up—both as a person(she turned 20 in July)and as an artist. “Being part of the Disney Channel was such a blessing, and I'm super happy with what my show accomplished, but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.” She continued, “I don't necessarily feel accomplished. I want to creat a whole different persona when it comes to acting.” Selena has been working fulltime since she was seven years old and scored a role on Barney&Friends. In 2007, when she was offered the lead in Wizards of Waverly Place, Selena, her mother, and her stepfather uprooted from Grand Prairie, Texas, to LA, where they are settling now. 文章大意：文章介绍了美国名星赛琳娜·戈麦斯的作品和成长经历。 1．When was it that Selena arrived at the low­key coffee shop?
