话题语篇专攻练 1人际关系(一)(建议用时40分钟). 阅读理解AThe stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell. Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola. There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie(妖怪)left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free. ”There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secretespecially those that embarrass someone else. Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others. Honesty and openness is important: It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes. Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner. 【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。主要论证了人们之间彼此分享自身经历的重要性。1. Whats the function of the example in Paragraph 2? A. It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola. B. It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story. C. It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble. D. It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time. 【解析】选C。推理判断题。文章第一段告诉读者分享经历很重要; 第二段介绍新闻封锁的负面影响, 也是通过证明不分享消息带来的麻烦, 从反面来说明论点, 故选C。2. One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that_. A. story-sharing highlights the importance of hard workB. people are used to exposing their weaknessesC. people sometimes have no courage to share their storiesD. some stories make themselves feel uneasy【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第四段“they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share”可知人们之所以不愿意和别人分享自己的经历是因为他们缺乏勇气, 故选C。3. Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3? A. Freed. B. Broken. C. Unfolded. D. Untouched. 【解析】选A。词义猜测题。这里将被封锁的消息比作装在瓶子里的妖怪, 一旦将瓶子打开, 它们的破坏力就会被释放出来。画线词语指“没被抑制住的”, 与free同义。4. The writer aims to convince us to_. A. be open to people close to you by sharing some secretsB. share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselvesC. remove the dangers that can be caused by untold storiesD. realize the importance of being honest when making friends【解析】选B。推理判断题。通读全文尤其是第五段的第二句“And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others. ”及文章最后一句可知作者写文章的目的是说服我们为了自己和他人适当分享自己的经历。B(2017衡阳模拟)I clearly remember the day when my little brother was born: January 1, 1994. One of my favorite family photos shows me lying with my mother in the hospital bed, happy but unaware of the small, sleeping baby in the background. I stayed with my grandparents for the weekend of my brothers birth, excited about my new brother but not yet aware of what having a little brother would mean. I didnt truly realize what was going on until we were in the hospital room at Duke Universitycoincidentally, the same room in which I had been born two years earlier. When I looked at my brother for the first time, I felt a mixture of fear and interest. Little did I know that small, pink creature would grow up to be one of my favorite people in the world. In reality, though I am two years older than my brother, I am more often than not the real baby in the family. I am very lacking when it comes to common sense. Instructions constantly confuse me and I frequently find myself totally puzzled by things like knowing how to start the washing machine or manage the storage settings on my iPhone. Thats where Gibson comes in. The poor kid has had to guide me through more tasks than I would care to admit, but he never complains. Though I should probably be told to figure it out myself, he always comes through. Im envious of his ability to readily answer the ever-present, “What do you want to do with your life? ”question at family gatherings. “Be a doctor, ”he saysa solid answer, completely opposite to my shaky one, “Well, Im an English major, so. . . ”My brother truly is my best friend. No one understands me better, and there isnt anyone else I would want to be stuck with in our family. I may not have a clear idea of where Im headed, but he is stuck with me. 【文章大意】作者描述了弟弟的出生以及后来两人的相处, 虽然弟弟年龄小, 但比我更成熟, 更能干。作者在文中表达了对弟弟的感激和自豪之情。5. How did the author feel when he saw his brother for the first time? A. Angry and sad. B. Excited and moved. C. Curious and scared. D. Happy and interested. 【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第三段“When I looked at my brother for the first time, I felt a mixture of fear and interest. ”可知作者第一次看到弟弟时既害怕又好奇。6. What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean? A. My brother is the real baby in the family. B. In fact, I seem to be less mature than my little brother. C. My brother gets more love from the family than I do. D. I am growing more slowly than my brother. 【解析】选B。句意猜测题。根据上句的“though I am two years older than my brother”可知上下表示转折, 根据下文的“The poor kid has had to guide me through more tasks than I would care to admit”可知弟弟比我还要成熟能干, 故选B。7. What does the brother often help the author do? A. Help him deal with many daily tasks. B. Help him with his studies. C. Give him advice on how to choose a major. D. Comfort him when he is in a bad mood. 【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第四段“I am very lacking when it comes to common sense. Instructions constantly confuse me and I frequently find myself totally puzzled by things like knowing how to start the washing machine or manage the storage settings on my iPhone. ”和第五段“The poor kid has had to guide me through more tasks”可知弟弟帮我处理一些日常任务。8.
