2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习 阅读理解选练（1）(III)阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。Youre in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater. You listen to their conversation: “I cant believe ita Lorenzo Bertolla!They are almost impossible to find. Isnt it beautiful? And its a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome.”They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater. Its nice and the price is right. Youve never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish. They must know. So, you buy it. You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency. They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes. Every day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eating. If the person looks cool, the product seems cool, too. This is the secret of undercover marketing. panies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it. Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that dont pay attention to traditional advertising. This is particularly true of the MTV generationconsumers between the age of 18 and 34. It is a golden group. They have a lot of money to spend, but they dont trust ads. So advertising agencies hire young actors to “perform”in bars and other places where young adults go. Some people might call this practice deceptive (骗人的), but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative. “Look at traditional advertising. Its effectiveness is decreasing.”However, one might ask what exactly is “real” about of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater? Advertising executives would say its no less real than an ad. The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something. You dont know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance. 1. The two attractive young women were talking so that they could_.A. get the sweater at a lower price B. be heard by people aroundC. be admired by other shoppers D. decide on buying the sweater2. Lorenzo Bertolla is_.A. a very popular male singer B. an advertising agencyC. a clothing pany in Rome D. the brand name of a sweater3. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. The two girls are in fact employed by the Lorenzo Bertolla pany. B. The MTV generation tends to be more easily influenced by ads. C. Traditional advertising is being less effective because its too direct. D. Undercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government. 4. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Two Attractive Shoppers B. Lorenzo Bertolla SweatersC. Ways of Advertising D. Undercover Marketing【参考答案】14、BDCD 【广东省xx届高三考前冲刺卷(五)】 CMany years ago，when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver，I was driving to my parents home in Missouri for Christmas.I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City，where I was planning to stop and visit a friend.While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台)，I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.I took_off，but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.I stopped and wondered what I should do.A car pulled up behind me.It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station.They said they would take me to my friends.We chatted on the way into the city，and when I got out of the car，the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him and his wife a thankyou note for helping me.Soon afterward，I received a Christmas present from them.Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.Years later，I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning.In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that Id left the lights on all day，and the battery was dead.Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford Dealershipa shop selling carswas right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford？”I asked and explained my trouble.They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.They would accept no payment；so when I got home，I wrote them a note to say thanks.I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you，and it meant a lot，he said.“Thank you”two powerful words.Theyre easy to say and mean so much.36The author planned to stop at Oklahoma City _.Ato visit a friendBto see his parentsCto pay at the

write a thankyou letterBhow to deal with car problemsCthe kindheartedness of older peopleDthe importance of expressing thanks36A细节推断题。根据第一段第二句“. at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City，where I was planning to stop and visit a friend.”where引导的定语从句是修饰Oklahoma City，去Oklahoma City是为了拜访一个朋友。37B词义猜测题。根据上一句“. paying for gas”和后面的“. gone only a few miles”可知took off是“离开”的意思，选项B中的move off也是“离开”的意思。turn off关掉；put up拿起；set up设立。38C细节推断题。从第二段最后两句“They said they would take me to my friends.”和“. when I got out of the car”可知老夫妇把作者送到了朋友家。39C细节推断题。从第四段第二句中的“Id left the lights on all day.”可知作者忘记关掉车灯，灯亮了一天，所以电池没电了。40D主旨大意题。作者讲了两个接受了他人的帮助并向帮助自己的人表示感谢的故事，接受别人的帮助后写信表示感谢对帮助自己的人是一种回馈，会使别人感到帮助别人是有意义的。特别是最后一句“They are easy to say and mean so much.”点出了主旨。【广东省xx届高三考前冲刺卷(五)】 DWhatever one

you tired of looking for love in all the usual places? Nowadays, millions of lonely singles are going online instead. The World Wide Web is quickly being the worlds most popular matchmaker. With so many singles online, dozens of dating sites like Yahoo Personals and Match. are helping singles find that special someone. Around the world, from America to China, love is now very much online. Singles are flocking to the Internet mainly because their busy lifestyles leave them little time to look for a significant partner. Using dating sites is quick and convenient. They can “meet” a lot more people online than they could by hanging out at a club. Besides , many singles say the regular dating scene has just led them from one bad experience to another and are ready to try something else. They also appreciate the first distance of online dating, which allows them to hide themselves until they are ready to meet someone face to face. Dating sites also make it easy to avoid someone you are not interested in. In the real world, however, ignoring someone you dont like can be awkward. Despite all the advantages, online dating also presents its own set of problems. People arent always who they claim to be in their online profiles. For instance, someone who tells you he is “handsome, successful and single”might turn out to be homely, unemployed and married. Safety is another concern. You are just as likely to find a criminal online as you are Mr or Miss Right. Even so, supporters of online dating see things in a positive way. In their opinion, singles can safely play the online dating game with a little mon sense. Online dating experts remend following a few safety tips: Guard your personal information. Never give out your personal information online. This includes your last name, phone number, home address and place of work. Watch for red flags. Do any of the people you are chatting with make disrespectful ments? Do they try to control you? Do they give false information about themselves? If so, forget them! Meet in a safe place. When meeting someone in person, choose a public location with other people around. Following these tips and you might be able to find the person of your dreams. 1.
