2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习 人生百味类 阅读理解练习（2）xx高考英语阅读理解-人生百味类 A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the pany he keeps; for there is a panionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best pany, whether it be of books or of men. A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of panions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and forting and consoling us in age. Men often discover their affinity (密切关系) to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, “Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this: “Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favoriteauthor. They live in him together, and he in them. A good book is often the best urn(瓮) of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world ofa mans life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, if remembered and cherished, bee our constant panions andforters. Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their authors minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effects of time have been to filter out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.【小题1】A good book may be among the best of friends because_.

Earth Day Canada president Jed Goldberg says that as people bee more environmentally aware, they want to find ways to reduce their environmental influence, not just celebrate one special event.“Earth Day is a great launching_pad for thinking about environmental action every day，” said Goldberg. “Choosing healthier options, even for the short term, can lead to thinking about the influence of our decisions for a lifetime.”Thats the reason behind the “Give It Up for Earth Day” campaign. Its designed to encourage healthy habits that benefit people and the planet. It challenges everyone to help create a healthier world by making changes in their daily routine.“We wanted to plan an actiontargeted campaign that will give people a chance to act on their concern for the environment in a positive way，” said Goldberg.The campaign has identified four daily actions that can add up to huge environmental savings. They include pledging (保证) to turn off the TV, give up the use of poisonous cleaners, reduce consumption of consumer products and cut out meat.At the end of April, all of the pledges will be recorded and converted (转化) into the number of TV hours not watched, dollars not spent on unnecessary items, electricity saved, greenhouse gas emissions (排放) avoided by cutting out meat, and poisonous chemicals produced from homes and landfills.“What were trying to achieve this year for Earth Day is to give people a chance to do something that is meaningful and measurable，” said Goldberg.文章大意：4月22日是世界地球日，活动“Give It Up for Earth Day”倡导人们在地球日这一天为保护环境做一些有意义、行之有效的事情。5The aim of the campaign mentioned in the passage is to _.Aenable people to save more money for future useBhelp people develop environmentally friendly habitsCprevent people from making changes in their daily routineDwarn people against reducing consumption of consumer products答案：B细节理解题。根据文章第四段第二句“Its designed to encourage healthy habits that benefit people and the planet.”可知，答案B符合文义。6The underlined word “launching pad” (in Paragraph 3) probably means “_”Astarting point Bfinishing line Cexchanging stage Dreforming stage答案：A词义猜测题。画线词所在句意为：地球日是一个引发人们开始对人类日常活动对环境所造成的影响进行思考的起点，由此结合上文“. they want to find ways to reduce their environmental influence, not just celebrate one special event.”和下文中“can lead to thinking about.”可推知，答案A符合文义。finishing line终点线；exchanging stage交流平台；reforming stage改革舞台，均不符合文义，故排除。7We can conclude from the passage that _.AEarth Day was first celebrated over half a century agoBshort term decisions will by no means influence our livesCEarth Day Canada is actually an everyday environmental actionDdaily actions must be measured to benefit the environment答案：D推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二、三段的整体理解并结合文章最后一句中的“meaningful and measurable”可以推知，我们应该以对环境的影响好坏为标准来判断日常行为是否可行。由此可知，答案D符合文义。8Which disagrees with the spirit of “Give It Up for Earth Day”？ASwitching off TV.

I went up to the roof for a break and watched people swimming in the natural rock pool below our house. It was a sunny day. But as I looked into the distance, I discovered a series of three or four big waves racing towards the shore. They must have been at least four meters high and were heading at speed in the direction of the pool. From the screams that started ing from the beach, I could tell someone was in trouble.Without thinking, I held my bodyboard (冲浪板) and shouted at a stranger to call the lifeguards (救生员). My neighbor Moises had heard the screaming as well and was also outside with his bodyboard, so together we rushed to the sea.Once we got closer, we discovered two people floating about 400 meters out. Waiting for help wasnt a choice. I didnt think twice about trying to save them. When we finally reached them 10 minutes later, they were almost lifeless, pale and motionless. We could tell they were still alive from their small breaths. We put them on our boards, patted their faces to wake them up, telling them to be strong, all the while swimming hard to keep ourselves afloat.Thirty minutes later, I began to feel a bit afraid and tired. Finally, a small boat with three lifeguards headed towards us. When the boat pulled up, we helped push the couple on board, only to be told that there was no room for us. It seemed pretty unprofessional (不专业的) to leave us therewe were a couple of miles from the shore.I didnt feel like a hero. Im sure that anyone who could swim would have done the same thing.文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和他的邻居救助两位被海浪冲离岸边的游泳者的故事。9What can we learn from the passage?AA stranger asked the writer to call the lifeguards.BThe writer was afraid and regretted the rescue.CThe writer told from the screams that someone needed help.DA neighbor and the writer rushed to the sea with nothing in hand.答案：C细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“From the screams that started ing from the beach, I could tell someone was in trouble.”可知，答案选C。10Upon getting close to them, the writer found that the two people _.Ahad been saved by others Bwere struggling in the seaCwere dying Dwere crying for help loudly答案：C细节理解题。根据第三段第四句“When we finally reached them 10 minutes later, they were almost lifeless, pale and motionless.”可知，当作者和他的邻居到达溺水者身旁的时候，他们已经奄奄一息了。故答案选C。11From Paragraph 4 we can infer that the writer thought _.Apeople in need dont e firstBthey were too tired to swim backCwaiting for help wasnt a choiceDthe lifeguards should make room for them答案：D推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句可知，作者认为那些救生员太不专业了，居然没考虑到给施救者(即作者和他的邻居)留出坐船的地方。故答案选D。
