2019-2020年高考英语（四月）完形填空、阅读理解小练（3）【xx高考复习】阅读理解For my grandmothers 70th birthday，my family and I visited South Korea.While there，I was attentive to Korean high schools and students.I was surprised by how different Koreas public high schools are from Americas.Korean high schools can be allgirls，allboys or coed (男女同校的) unlike our standard coed high schools.There are three grades：“go 1(10th)”，“go 2(11th)” and “go 3(12th)”“Go” is the first syllable of the word “godeunghakkyo”，which，simply translated，is “high school”In America，unless you want to go to a private school，you dont have to take an entrance exam.In Korea，however，students must take a test to get in because of the many choices of schools.Another difference I couldnt help but notice was the students appearance.With very few exceptions，all wear uniforms.A name tag (标牌) with the students name，grade and homeroom number must also be worn.Girls skirts cant be above the upper part of the knee，and it is forbidden to dye(染) your hair or wear accessories (装饰品) except small earrings.There are strict regulations for appearance to achieve neatness，and it seems the only freedom students have is with their choices of hair style，socks and shoes.The final difference was the setup of the classes.There may be 40 students in a classroom，but the number can be less or even more，depending on the population of the town or city.Although there are many students per classroom，they are very close，which I think is a result of not changing classrooms for different subjects.There are no levels in the subjects and the teachers are the ones who switch classrooms.They just have tenminute breaks between subjects.In each class，students are ranked by their grades.This causes strict petition，and Korean students do a lot of studying.To help them，all schools have extra study classes after school.One other fact that helped me appreciate living in America is that Koreans have school on Saturdays.Although its only a half day，I think I speak for most Americans when I say we could never imagine ourselves in school on a Saturday.Koreas public high schools are clearly different from Americas.I had imagined them to be just like our schools，but now I have a clear picture of how different they are.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了在作者眼中韩国高中和美国高中的不同之处。1How many main differences are mentioned between Koreas public high school and Americas?A3.B4.C5.D6.解析细节理解题。本文主要说明了美国和韩国高中的不同点，作者采用的总分总的文章结构，第二、三、四、五这四段分别说明他们的不同之处，总共有4处。答案B2It seems that the writer_.Ais familiar with the education system of high schools in KoreaBis fond of Korean students appearanceCprefers the high school life of America to the one of KoreaDfeels it mon to have lessons on weekends解析推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中倒数第二句中“One other fact that helped me appreciate living in America.”可知，作者喜欢在美国中学的生活，因为韩国高中星期六还要去学校，而美国不用。答案C3What does the underlined word “setup” in paragraph 5 probably mean?AArrangement.BSize.CNumber.DOutline.解析词义猜测题。第一句话为本段的中心句。根据其后的内容可知，本段主要介绍了韩、美两国高中在班级人数、作息等方面组织(方式)、安排的不同之处，因此选A。答案A4According to the rules，the students of Korea can_.Ago to different high schools without examsBwear any clothes except uniforms at schoolCattend different classes as they likeDhave different hair styles 解析细节理解题。根据第四段的最后一句话“.it seems the only freedom students have is with their choices of hair style，socks and shoes.”可知，韩国学生唯一的自由就是可以选择发型、袜子、鞋子，故答案选D，即他们可以有不同的发型。答案D。阅读理解。President Coolidges statement,“The business of America is business,”still points to an important truth today that business institutions have more prestige (威望) in American society than any other kind of organization, including the government. Why do business institutions possess this great prestige? One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the ideal of petition than other institutions in society. Since petition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans, petitive business institutions are respected. petition is not only good in itself, it is the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and hard work are protected.petition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly(垄断) of power. In contrast to one, all-powerful government, many businesses pete against each other for profits. Theoretically, if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to peting business which treats its customers more fairly. Where many businesses pete for the customers dollar, they cannot afford to treat them like inferiors or slaves.A contrast is often made between business, which is petitive, and government, which is a monopoly. Because business is petitive, many Americans believe that it is more supportive of freedom than government, even though government leaders are elected by the people and business leaders are not. Many Americans believe, then, that petition is as important, or even more important, than democracy in preserving freedom.petition in business is also believed to strengthen the ideal of equality of opportunity. petition is seen as an open and fair race where success goes to the swiftest person regardless of his or her social class background. petitive success is monly seen as the American alternative to social rank based on family background. Business is therefore viewed as an expression of the idea of equality of opportunity rather than the aristocratic(贵族的) idea of inherited privilege(待遇). 16. The statement “The business of America is business” probably means “ _”.A. The business institutions in America are concerned with merce B. Business problems are of great importance to the American government C. Business is of primary concern to Americans D. America is a great power in world business 17. Americans believe that they can realize their personal values only _. A. when given equality of opportunity C. by protecting their individual freedom B. through doing business D. by way of petition 18. Who can benefit from business petition?A. Honest businessmen. B. Both businessmen and their customers. C. People with ideas of equality and freedom. D. Both business institutions and government.19. Government is believed to differ strikingly from business in that government is characterized by_. A. its absolute control of power B. its function in preserving personal freedom C. its role in protecting basic American values D. its democratic way of exercising leadership 20. It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes _. A. Americans are more ambitious than people in other countries B. in many countries success often depends on ones social status C. American businesses are more democratic than those in other countries D. businesses in other countries are not as petitive as those in America 【参考答案】1620、CDBAB完成填空。阅读下面短文，理解大意，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。Tracy Wong is a wellknown ChineseAmerican writer.
