安徽和县2017高考英语阅读理解一轮选编题【2014新课标全国卷 】阅读理解CIt happened to me recently.I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obamas Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President.A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was ，in his words, “a brilliantly(精彩地)written book”However, he then went on to talk about Mr Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that my friend is not the only one.Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they havent.In the World Book Days “Report on Guilty Secrets”， Dreams From My Father is at number 9.The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as Im not one to lie too often (Id hate to be caught out )，Ill admit here and now that I havent read the entire top ten.But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwells 1984.I think its really brilliant.The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it.It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky(I havent read him, but havent lied about it either )and Herman Melville.Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to.This could be tricky if the conversation became more indepth!But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named Jk.Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words)Fortytwo percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story(Ill come clean: I do this and I am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so)【试题分析】世界读书日的一个调查报告表明：有些人撒谎说他们读过某本书，其实他们根本没有读。他们撒谎的主要是给别人留下深刻的印象。1. How did the author find his friend a book liar?ABy judging his manner of speaking.BBy looking into his background.CBy mentioning a famous name.DBy discussing the book itself.解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was，in his words，“a brilliant written book”However，he then went on to talk about Mr.Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all.然后他继续以一种能暗示出他对奥巴马背景一无所知的方式继续谈论奥巴马，可知作者跟他的朋友谈论有关奥巴马的那本书，发现朋友对奥巴马的背景一无所知，这暗示出朋友其实并没有读过这本书，他对奥巴马的背景一点都不知晓，故选D。答案：D2. Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?ACharles Dickens is very low on the topten list.B42% of people pretended to have read 1984.CThe author admitted having read 9 books.DDreams From My Father is hardly read.解析：细节理解题。本题的关键词是guilty secret，定位第二、三段。根据文章第三段可知，不像百分之四十二的人那样，我很高兴地说，我读过排在第一位的George Orwells 1984。由此可知，作者读过这本书，而百分之四十二的人却没读过。故选B。答案：B3. By lying about reading, a person hopes to_.Acontrol the conversationBappear knowledgeableClearn about the bookDmake more friends解析：推理判断题。根据文章第四段“当被问及为什么撒谎的时候，最普遍的理由是想给正在说话的人留下深刻的印象”可知，人们之所以选择撒谎是想让对方觉得自己知识渊博，从而给对方留下一个好的印象，故B正确。答案：B4. What is the authors attitude to 58% of readers?AFavorable BUncaringCDoubtful DFriendly解析：态度推断题。根据第五段话最后一句“我很惊讶58%的人说他们从来没这么做过”，表明作者态度的词是astomished。选项中与此词意义接近的答案便是C项。答案：C 2016高考训练题-阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 New York-Michelle Obama made a daring decision to return to the same designer who created her Inaugural (就职）Ball dress four years ago - and the risk paid off.The First Lady looked extremely attractive in a thin, sweeping, and ruby-colored dress by designer Jason Wu.

Little do these students realize that, in doing so, they are throwing good money away. It may sound unbelievable but textbooks, in some cases, actually cost as much as, if not more than, college fees.Many people think that college bookstores are the most convenient source for textbooks. Titles are usually kept and students may purchase new textbooks or choose to buy second-hand books and save money. But the money saved by purchasing second-hand textbooks from college bookstores is small compared to the amount they could save by shopping online.More and more online booksellers have begun selling textbooks at heavily discounted prices. Online second-hand bookstores are another source for college books as they keep a large number of textbooks, which means sizable savings for students. Students should avoid purchasing their textbooks at the first store that they surf online since there are so many unreal booksellers on the Net. Price isnt the only factor to consider when making an online purchase. Students should also consider shopping costs and delivery time when making their decision.Online auctions(拍卖) are another option for students seeking a bargain. This option, however, has its pros and cons. A plus is that students can get incredibly cheap books. One problem is that while online bookstores have a system in place that ensure you receive your order within a reasonable amount of time, with an auction purchase, however, you must depend on the auction sellers timetable. One way that students can really save is by getting books for free. Project Gutenberg is one resource that English majors will find invaluable. Here students can legally download a huge collection of classic novels. In the past students needing help with their studies would often have to spend a lot of money buying expensive study guides. Today that is no longer the case. Cash-strapped students can now visit the website SparkNotes for free downloadable study guides as well as classics. 31. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A. Learning to Save on TextbooksB. Why Buy TextbooksC.Online Shopping D. Tips for Buying Secondhand Textbooks【答案】A【解析】标题归纳题。本文主要讲在线购书比去学校书店买更节省，最后一段还介绍了一种能免费获得教科书的节省的方法。所以本文主要讲在教科书方面怎样省钱。故选A.32. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a source to obtain textbooks ?A. College bookstores.B. Online used bookstores.C.Online auctions.D. Second-hand bookstore centres.【答案】D 【解析】细节理解题。第一段讲到A.College bookstores。第三段“Online second-hand bookstores are another source for college books .”提到了B（在线二手书）。第四段讲C.在线拍卖。但始终没提到D。33. The underlined expression “pros and cons” (paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to _.A. professionals and conservativesB. joy and sadnessC.advantages and disadvantagesD. processes and conditions【答案】C【解析】词义猜测题。“pros and cons” 指“正反两方面”，即“优点和缺点”。与C意思相同。34. According to the passage, Project Gutenberg is probably _.A. a government project aimed at helping English majorsB. a project to help poor students get free learning materialsC. a website for English majors to get the guides from language expertsD.a website for students to get free sources for English learning【答案】D【解析】推理判断题。文章最后一段“Project Gutenberg is one resource that English majors will find invaluable. Here students can legally download a huge collection of classic novels.”说明 “Project Gutenberg”是英语专业学生认为非常贵重的资源，学生可以在这儿合法地下载大量经典小说收藏。因此它是一个学生可以为英语学习获取免费资源的网站。故选D。35. From the passage, we can learn that_.A. the cost of textbooks in college is low compared to the amount spent on tuition B. online auctions are perfect for students seeking text booksC. students should visit many websites before buying their booksD.students should consider shopping costs and delivery time above all else when making their buying decision【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。文章第一段“It may sound unbelievable but textbooks, in some cases, actually cost as much as, if not more than, college fees.”说明听起来可能难以置信，但在某些情况下，教科书的费用即使不比大学学费多，也是持平的。故A不对。文章第四段“Online auctions(拍卖) are another option for students seeking a bargain. This option, however, has its pros and cons.”说明在线拍卖也是有利有弊的，而不是完美的。故B错误。第三段“Price isnt the only factor to consider when making an online purchase. Students should also consider shopping costs and delivery time when making their decision.”说价格不是网购唯一考虑的因素，学生在做决定之前也要考虑购物成本和交货时间。能看出学生在作出购买决定之前应该首要考虑购物成本和交货时间，但不是首要考虑的。故D错误。第三段“Students should avoid purchasing their textbooks at the first store that they surf online since there are so many unreal booksellers on the Net. ”说明学生应该避免在他们搜索到的第一个店购买教科书，因为网上有太多不真实的书商。所以在买书之前应该看许多网站，故C正确。
