2019-2020年高考英语二轮专题复习精练 阅读理解（2）xx百校联盟冲刺卷I was living in So Paulo, Brazil. It is a huge city, with more people living in it than in my whole country (Hungary，which has a population of 10 million). We rented a flat in a munity, but there was a shanty town(贫民区)quite near.For several months I didnt have a car, so three times a week, I used public transportation to go to the city centre.During these trips, I would ride with the people who took the same bus from the shanty town to go to work.When I got on the bus, all the seats were already taken.But when people saw that my bag was heavy (full of books), they offered to hold it on their lap to make me feel lighter. At first, I was shocked. Then I realized that these people had absolutely no intention to steal from me: they only wanted to help. Once, on my way back, I had to wait for a long time at a bus stop. I was alone, except for a woman who was apparently very poor. She carried a small paper bag of popcorn and nothing else.While we were waiting, she walked over and offered me some popcorn. I thanked her, but didnt want to help myself to it. She then repeatedly insisted that I take from what was evidently her only food.That was the first time I thought about how people who have almost nothing, are sometimes able to share what they have much more “easily” than those who own a lot.I wonder if its true that the more you have, the bigger the burden is，and the more difficult to share anything with others.I was so moved by that womans simple generosity that day. I clearly had more than she did, but she naturally and joyfully shared what she had with me nevertheless.1Where did the author live?A. In Hungary.B. In the centre of So Paulo.C. In a shanty town of So Paulo.D. In a munity near to a shanty town.2Why the author were shocked when people offered to help carry his heavy bag at first?A.

He provided his books to a poor woman to read.4From the passage，we know that_.Asharing things with rich people brings opportunities to earn moneyBpeople who have almost nothing must be the most generous peopleCsharing things with other people doesnt depend on whether you are rich or poorDpeople who own a lot must be the most generous people文章大意本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在巴西的圣保罗生活时，遇见的那些善良的人和那些感人的事情。1D。细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“I was living in So Paulo, Brazil.”和“We rented a flat in a munity, but there was a shanty town(贫民区)quite near.”可知，作者居住在巴西圣保罗的一个社区，但离一个贫民区很近。2D。细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Then I realized that these people had absolutely no intention to steal from me：they only wanted to help.”我意识到这些人完全没有要偷我的东西的意图，他们只是想帮助我。可知，作者刚开始感到震惊是因为他误解了这些人，以为他们要偷他的书。3B。细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段中的“She then repeatedly insisted that I take from what was evidently her only food.”可知答案选B项。4C。推理判断题。根据文章内容，尤其是最后两段可知，与别人分享东西，与贫富无关。故选C项。Bxx辽宁高考“Indeed，” George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, “some kind of fly, or bug, had begun to eat the leaves before I left home.” But the father of America was not the father of bug. When Washington wrote that, Englishmen had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century, and Americans had already created lightningbug (荧火虫). But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.The American bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity. Although fan became the usual term, sports fans used to be called racing bugs, baseball bugs, and the like.Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bugshaped car. The bug could also be a burglar alarm, from which es the expression to bug, that is，“to install(安装) an alarm”. Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others conversations. Since the 1840s, to bug has long meant “to cheat”， and since the 1940s it has been annoying.We also know the bug as a flaw in a puter program or other design. That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison. In 1878 he explained bugs as “little problems and difficulties” that required months of study and labor to overe in developing a successful product. In 1889 it was recorded that Edison “had been up the two previous nights discovering a bug in his invented record player.”5We learn from Paragraph 1 that _.A. Americans had difficulty in learning to use the word bugB. George Washington was the first person to call an insect a bugC. the word bug was still popularly used in England in the nineteenth centuryD. both Englishmen and Americans used the word bug in the eighteenth century6What does the word “flaw” in the last paragraph probably mean?A.

Fault.7The passage is mainly concerned with _.A. the misunderstanding of the word bugB. the development of the word bugC. the public views of the word bugD. the special characteristics of the word bug文章大意本文为说明文，题材为社会文化，主要介绍了bug这一单词词义的发展过程。5D。细节理解题。根据第一段可知在18世纪前美国人和英国人都使用bug这一单词，故选D项。6D。词义猜测题。根据下文“In 1878 he explained bugs.to overe in developing a successful product”可推断flaw的意思可能是“缺陷，毛病，问题”，故选D。explanation解释；finding调查发现；origin起源，由来。7B。推理判断题。通读全文可知。Cxx山西省高三年级四校联考For as much as I love nature, its remarkable that I grew up in a family that didnt spend a lot of time there. The Ludlows werent campers, hikers, or beachgoers.Thats not to say we didnt go outdoors. We just didnt stay there long. My dads favorite way to relax was to sit on the patio(露台) with a glass of iced tea. Hed preside over his freshly mowed lawn, enjoy the birds and watch for the fox. But when the sun went down, he went inside.Lots of kids grow up gazing at the stars, knowing the constellations(星座). Me? I never noticed the stars. In my early childhood, the darkening shadow of evening was the signal that it was time to hightail it home from the park on my bike.Then I met the sky. I saw it the summer before my seventh grade when we took a family trip to Wyoming. In my mental photo album, I feel the mist of Old Faithful, I smell the store where my dad bought a cowboy hat and I shiver in my sleeping bag on the overnight rafting trip down the Snake River.One night, Dad had arranged for us to sleep in a tepee.When the flames died down after our campfire dinner, he kept my little sister, Sara, Mom, and me outside, wrapped us in blankets and told us to look up, wait, and watch.As my eyes adjusted, the stars appeared. The black was filled with white. Dad revealed the universe.Decades later, I crave walks in the woods, I love to sit by a lake for hours, and a sunset mesmerizes(使着迷) me.And everywhere I go, I look up and search for the heaven I saw that night. I havent yet to see that sky again, so utterly aglow. I dont know whether thats because my kid memory blew it out of proportion or because our litup world makes seeing the true sky all but impossible.

On the one hand, you want to help a person you care about, but on the other hand, you wonder if it is really a good idea to lend money to this person. The two main things to remember when deciding whether or not to lend money are to think before you do it and not to lend money that you need yourself.First, realize that you dont need to feel guilty if you dont want to lend your money to anyone, even a friend or relative. If there is a reason behind the guilt, for example, they did something for you and helped you out when you needed it then you may really want to lend them money. If you have the money and want to do it, then you can do it.If you do decide that you want to lend money, be sure to write up an agreement. Whether its your sister or the best friend youve known for decades, a clear agreement signed by both parties is important. Its not a matter of trust, but a clear understanding of what is expected. The agreement should have dates and specific amounts for repayment. If you are low on money yourself, you simply may not be in the position to lend money. You really should never lend money that you need yourself. If something happens and your friend or family member cant pay back the money, youve put yourself in a dangerous position. A friend or relative that cares about you should understand that and not make you feel pressured to lend money to him or her.Many financial experts say that the only circumstance in which a person should ever lend money is that they really dont need the funds and really wont expect the money back. Otherwise the lender is at risk. You can also decide on the reason for the money. A single mom struggling between paychecks is one thing, while money needed to buy a bigscreen TV is a totally different thing.1.We can learn from the passage that _.A. deciding whether to lend money to your best friend or your sister is easyB. you should feel guilty if you dont want to lend your money to a friendCif you are low on money yourself you dont need to lend money to othersD. a relative that cares about you wont understand your not lending money to them2.What may be included in an agreement according to the passage? dates for repaymentspecific amounts for repaymentmeasures for not repayingsignature of a judgeA BC D3.Many financial experts advise that a person can lend others money when _.Ahe doesnt need the money now and in the future Bhe still expects the money back in the near futureChis friend needs his help to buy a bigscreen TV Dhis family members promise to pay back more4.Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?AHow to Help a Friend or Family Member in Trouble?BShould You Lend Money to a Friend or Family Member?CFinancial Experts Advice on Helping OthersD. Financial Experts Advice on Lending Money文章大意本文是一篇说明文，就是否应该借给朋友或亲戚金钱的问题展开说明。1C。考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“If you are low on money yourself，you simply may not be in the position to lend money.”可知，选项C为答案，其余选项与原文不符。2A。考查细节理解。根据文中第三段最后一句话“The agreement should have dates and specific amounts for repayment.”可知，答案为A。3A。考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段可知，当你自己不需要资金并且你不十分期盼资金的偿还，这时可以考虑借给别人资金。故选A。4B。考查标题判断。纵观全文可知，本文主要是说是否应该借给朋友或亲戚金钱的问题，A选项内容宽泛，C、D选项侧重于金融专家的建议，都有点片面，且C项中的Helping Others过于宽泛，故选B。
