2019-2020年高考英语一轮 阅读理解训练（2）阅读理解、专题训练(*)、议论文的阅读(2)阅读下列材料，按要求完成读写任务Like many of my generation，I have a weakness for hero worship.At some point，however，we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them.This leads us to ask：What is a hero?Despite immense differences in cultures，heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.A hero does something worth talking about.A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a munity who will listen.But a hero goes beyond mere fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves.Like highvoltage(电压)transformers，heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation.Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth，enthusiasm，and meaning.A sure test for wouldbe heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame，they may be famous persons but not heroes.Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous，but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?Heroes are catalysts (催化剂)for change.They have a vision from the mountain top.They have the skill and the charm to move the masses.They create new possibilities.Without Gandhi，India might still be part of the British Empire.Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King，Jr.，we might still have segregated(隔离的)buses，restaurants，and parks.It may be possible for largescale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities，but the pace of change would be slow，the vision uncertain，and the mittee meetings endless.根据短文，写一篇30词左右的摘要_.根据所读短文，选择最佳选项1Although heroes may e from different cultures，they _.Agenerally possess certain inspiring characteristicsBprobably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleCare often influenced by previous generationsDall unknowingly attract a large number of fans2According to the passage，heroes are pared to highvoltage transformers in that _.Athey have a vision from the mountaintopBthey have warm feelings and emotionsCthey can serve as concrete(具体的)examples of noble principlesDthey can make people feel stronger and more confident3Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because _.Athey are popular only among certain groups of peopleBtheir performances do not improve their fans morallyCtheir primary concern is their own financial interestsDthey are not clear about the principles they should follow4Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who _.Aare good at demonstrating their charming charactersBcan move the masses with the skill and the charmCare capable of meeting all challenges and hardshipsDcan provide an answer to the problems of their people5The author concludes that historical changes would_.Abe delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesBnot happen without heroes making the necessary sacrificesCtake place if there were heroes to lead the peopleDproduce leaders with attractive personalities 参考答案The author thinks heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves，live a life worthy of imitation and are catalysts for change.They should fight for the good of the masses.(31 words)1解析：细节判断题。从文中的“heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people”可以得出结论。答案：A2解析：英雄就像变压器，能“step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people”。答案：C3解析：因为虽然他们是“famous”，但是“who would claim that their fans find life more abundant？”。既然他们的歌迷的生活没有变得更有意义，也就是“do not improve their fans morally”。答案：B4解析：通过文章的结构来判断。“They have the skill and the charm to move the masses”是主题句，Gandhi and Martin Luther King等的事情是实例。答案：B5解析：细节判断题。文中有“without leaders.the pace of change would be slow”。答案：A*结束With nearly 22 percent of Japans population already aged 65 years old or older. The rapidly aging population has caused many problems: a labor shortage, tax shortage and financial difficulties in paying health bills and pensions (养老金) of large numbers of the elderly. Moreover, a growing number of older Japanese are spending their golden years away from the care traditionally provided by children and grandchildren. Thats where cutting-edge technology steps in. This technology is creating a care providing market. Businessmen are using cutting-edge technology to create products to care for the countrys growing elderly population. They have been producing everything from easy-entry cars to remote-controlled beds. Old people in Japan can expect to be served food by a robot. They can also ride a voice-recognition wheelchair or even possibly hire a robot nurse. At a home-care exhibition in Tokyo, many new products were shown. Buyers crowded round a product called My Spoon Feeding Robot. It can help elderly or disabled people to eat with a spoon-and-fork-fitted arm. Operating a stick with his chin, the designer moved the arm toward a block of soft tofu, skillfully getting the fork to break off a small piece. The arm then returned to a set position in front of his mouth, allowing him to bite and swallow. Its all about making people able to help themselves. We want to give the elderly control over their own lives, the designer said. The pany has already sold 300 of the feeding robots, which cost $3,500 each. There is also a car designed for easy entry. It is mainly for people who have to use wheelchairs or those who have difficulty walking. Its slogan is, A car thats more patient than your daughter.17.

Why read an article in the newspaper，when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man，when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?Television has not killed reading, however. Today，newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoymentAlthough some books with hard covers are expensive，many books are printed today as paperbacks(平装本)，which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories，for example，is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater，and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every homeEvery home should have a good dictionaryA good encyclopedia(百科全书)，though expensive，is useful，too，because you can find information on any subjectBesides，you can have such books as history books，science textbooks，cookbooks，and collections of stories and poemsThen from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.68.
