高考英语一轮复习 阅读理解训练（六）3

四川洪雅县2017高考英语一轮阅读理解训练【六】阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。Tang poetry is so excellent and of such a large sum that it is a precious cultural heritage of Chinese civilization in ancient time.It appeals so many people all over the world that more and more Tang poems have been translated into other languages，mostly into English.Nevertheless，since the translatability of poetry has been the most controversial(引起争论的)issue in the translation circle，whether a Tang poem is translatable or not is now still in debate.An American poet Robert Frost ever said，“Poetry is what gets lost in translation.”In this sense，something in Tang poetry will get lost after being translated into English.Here comes the untranslatability(不可翻译)of Tang poems in English translation.Tang poetry is the harmonious unity of beautiful sound，wellbalanced form and implicit sense so that it is very difficult to translate them into other languages satisfactorily.English is intonation(语调)language while Chinese is tone language so that they are dissimilar in sound；English spelling words are alphabetic writing while Chinese square characters are ideographic(表意文字)so that they are dissimilar in form；English was born and develops in western cultural background while Chinese in oriental so that they are dissimilar in sense.Based on the differences above，a conclusion is made naturally in the article that in the process of translating Tang poems into English，there is some untranslatability，namely，sound untranslatability，form untranslatability and sense untranslatability.In fact，the study on the untranslatability of Tang poetry still has a great room for development，as it remains an unsolved problem.In this case，however，talking about the untranslatability of Tang poems in English translation is not against the translation work of Tang poems but for the better translations of them.1By the passage we can know that_.ATang poetry is a kind of new culture existing in ChinaB. Tang poetry is part of precious cultural heritage of Chinese civilizationCTang poetry cant be translated into EnglishDTang poetry can only be accepted by people from China答案：B根据文章第一段第一句话.it is a precious cultural heritage of Chinese civilization in ancient time可知，唐诗是中国古代文明的珍贵的文化遗产，是中华文化的组成部分。2The features of Tang poetry different from other languages are the following EXCEPT_.Abeautiful sound Brich wordsCabundant form Dextensive sense答案：B根据文章第二段内容中所提到的与英语不同的特点有sound，form和sense，文章中没有提到word。故答案选B项。3Chinese is tone language while English is_.Aintonation languageBtone languageCalphabetic writingDideographic language答案：A根据文章第二段第五句话English is intonation language while Chinese is tone language可知，汉语是语音文字而英语则是语调文字。故答案选A项。4The attitude towards translating Tang poetry into other languages is_.Aappositive BfavorableCironic Dpassive答案：B根据文章最后一句话talking about the untranslatability of Tang poems in English translation is not against the translation work of Tang poems but for the better translations of them.可知，作者的态度是赞成的。科普知识（阅读理解）由 (2013山东,C)改编You cant always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella.But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesnt think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet.Thats why he created Lampbrella,a lamp post with its own rainsensing umbrella.The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia.“Once,I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain.I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞篷)built into a street lamp.”he said.The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy.It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand.Sensors(传感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.In addition to the rain sensor,theres also a 360 motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella.After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer,the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed,so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians.Besides,it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike.Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people.Being installed(安装) at 2 metres off the ground,it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production,Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department,and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.1.For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?()A.To predict a heavy rain.B.To check the weather forecast.C.To protect people from the rain.D.To remind people to take an umbrella.2.What do we know from Belyaevs words in Paragraph 2?()A.His creation was inspired by an experience.B.It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.C.Street lamps are protected by canopies.D.He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.3.Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works?()A.motorcanopysensorsB.sensorsmotorcanopyC.motorsensorscanopyD.canopymotorsensors4.What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella?()A.Its moving speed.B.Its appearance.C.Its installation.D.Its safety.5.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?()A.The designer will open a company to promote his product.B.The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production.C.The designer is confident that his creation is practical.D.The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.语篇解读:一次雨天的所见所闻激发了Belyaev的灵感,他发明了一种用传感器控制的灯伞,使行人免遭雨淋。答案及剖析:1.C细节理解题。根据第一段的最后两句可知,他发明这种灯伞的目的是让行人免遭雨淋。2.A推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知,Belyaev讲述了他发明灯伞的过程,是在圣彼得堡的一次下雨时的见闻激发了他的灵感,故A项正确。3.B细节理解题。根据文章的第三段内容可知,传感器可以感知雨水的降落,然后灯伞里的电动马达就会根据需要把伞打开或者关闭,由此可知,其顺序为:传感器马达伞篷。4.D推理判断题。第五段中提到几个关键词语:低速行驶;不会对行人造成伤害,使行人免遭雷击;离地面两米。这些都是安全方面的问题,故D项正确。5.C推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Belyaev says.insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk.”可知,他认为自己的发明可以被安装在任何有许多行人的街道上,这表明他对他的发明的实用性充满信心。【疑难词汇解读】1.shelter n.庇护,遮蔽;庇护所;避难处An old hut gave shelter from the storm.一间旧茅舍成了躲避风雨的地方。2.install vt.安装,设置(装备)Theyve installed the new computer network at last.他们终于安装了新计算机网络。【长难句子分析】 and 虽然没有把灯伞投入生产的计划,但Belyaev说他最近把他的发明介绍给了一个莫斯科的部门,并坚持说他的发明可以被安装在任何有许多行人但是没有伞篷可以避雨的街上。（2016高考阅读理解）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。Western New Bridge Library AnnouncementShortened Library Hours for Spring

having fun using the wind to fly their kites.Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds dashing and dancing in the exciting atmosphere above the earth.As the strong winds gusted against the kites，a string kept them in check.Instead of blowing away with the wind，they arose against it to achieve great heights.They shook and pulled，but the controlling string and the clumsy tail kept them in tow(牵引)，facing upward and against the wind.As the kites struggled and trembled against the string，they seemed to say，“Let me go！Let me go！I want to be free！” They flew beautifully even as they fought the forced restriction of the string.Finally，one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose.“Free at last，” it seemed to say.“Free to fly with the wind.”Yet freedom from control simply put it at the mercy of an unsympathetic gentle wind.It flew ungracefully to the ground and landed in a twisted mass of weeds and string against a dead bush.“Free at last”Free to lie powerless in the dirt，to be blown helplessly along the ground，and to settle down lifeless against the first roadblock.How much like kites we sometimes are.There always exist misfortunes and restrictions，rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength.Prohibition is a necessary counterpart to the winds of opposition.Some of us pulled at the rules so hard that we never fly fast to reach the heights we might have obtained.If we keep all the commandment(戒律)，we will never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.Let us each rise to the great heights，recognizing that some of the prohibitions are actually the steady force that helps us climb and achieve.1In the passage the writer watched .Amany young people enjoying the sunny dayBmany birds dashing and dancing in the skyCmany young people flying multicolored kitesDthe strong winds blowing against the sky2What enables a kite fly gracefully in the sky according to the story?AThe kite itself and strange shapes.BA long string and blowing wind.CA windy spring day and blue sky.DThe size of the kite and a long string.3What didnt happen to the freed kite?AIt kept flying freely in the air.BIt lay powerless in the dirt.CIt was trapped in a dead bush.DIt was blown helplessly around.4What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?ATo give us tips on how to fly kites effectively.BTo warn us that freedom is actually powerless.CTo explain that restrictions are really unnecessary.DTo teach us a lesson that rules are important in life.1C细节理解题。根据第一段中的“.I observed young

dancing.”可知一群年轻人正在放飞五颜六色的风筝，故选C。2B推理判断题。根据全文内容和第二段中的“They flew beautifully even as they fought the forced restriction of the string.”可知是长长的风筝线和风让风筝在空中飞翔，B项表述符合文意，故选B。3A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It flew ungracefully to the ground and landed in a twisted mass of weeds and string against a dead bush.”和“Free to lie powerless in the dirt，to be blown helplessly along the ground，and to settle down lifeless
