Unit 23 Conflict单元检测B阅读理解提速练.阅读理解A(2018重庆市九校联考)I hate Black Friday sales. Its often a gathering of people who are there for many different reasons. Some are looking for a deal on that one item for their loved one, or perhaps themselves. Their intentions are pletely unrelated to the festive time of the year.It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a childs bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle. After a while the whistle blew. It was like throwing a bucket of small fish into a tank of sharks. I told my wife that if we obtained a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.As the pile of bikes began to gradually decrease in size, I saw my polite opportunity to wrap my hands around the corner of one of the boxes. I lifted it up and suddenly felt some mild resistance. I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not the word to describe his presence. He wore lots of belts of metal studded leather around both arms and even his neck. Tattoos (文身) were an obvious passion of his.I started to give up the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.” My wife and I went to the checkout, paid for the bike and went home. All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best gift I had ever received for Christmas. The kindness of a stranger broke all preconceived notions (预想) I may have had of stereotypes and prejudices.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者和妻子想在黑色星期五大抢购时给儿子买辆自行车，无奈百货商店里人山人海。作者本想放弃，没想到一个陌生人把自行车盒子让给了他。这让作者改变了之前对他人的偏见。1How did the author feel when going into the store?AThe crowd was like small fish.BThey might not get the bike.CHe was excited to do the shopping.DThe whistle was blown too late.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I told my wife that if we obtained a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too”可知作者进入商店时已经做好了买不到自行车的打算，故选B项。2What happened when the author was buying the bike?AHe was scared by a mans look at first.BA gentleman bought the bike for him.CA stranger helped him lift the box.DHe gave up the bike he first touched.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life.

Back home, discussions can still be boisterously carried on within the “circle of friends” of WeChat.However, these scenes cannot always ease a sense of loneliness. Zhu Ziqing, a wellknown professor of Tsinghua University, signed with emotion, “My loneliness increases as scene bees much busier.” One popular song today is also called A Lonely Man in Crowds. Actually, engaging in social intercourse requires ability, while being alone involves the whole character.These days, it is not easy to calm down totally and return to ones true self. Willpower, intellect and discipline are required. Einstein said, “It is not your working time but your spare time that determines the possibility of whether you will be successful or not.” The “spare time” he referred to could be taken as “spending time by yourself”Lonely life could be either dull, boring and tasteless or abundant, interesting and colorful, depending on ones quality, ambition and inspiration.Just as the body constantly requires energy, the mind and soul also demand unceasing inputs. However, information, to processed and integrated (融入) into knowledge, thoughts and feelings, instead of bustle (忙碌) seems to be the right condition. Successful careers in all walks of life worldwide have proved that “the soul grows in peace and talent is nurtured in loneliness”. In a sense, it may be reasonable to say that “Happiness tends to be shallow while loneliness involves profundity”Man, in fact, needs loneliness more than happy time, and only abundant loneliness can produce quality happiness.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文，讲述了幸福和孤独之间的关系。作者认为幸福是肤浅的，孤独是深刻的。与快乐相比人更需要孤独，只有丰富的孤独才能产生幸福。5What can we infer from the second paragraph?ABeing alone makes people depressed.BSocial intercourse improves our happiness.COne may feel lonely even when surrounded by people.DWe should attend social intercourse to decrease our loneliness.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第二段的 “One popular song today . while being alone involves the whole character.”可知，即便是周围有人，忙碌于各种场合并不能总能缓解孤独感。故选C。6Which of the following can replace the underlined word “boisterously” in Paragraph 1?ASurprisingly. BSadly.CBusily. DPeacefully.解析：选C词义猜测题。根据第一段的“Nowadays, especially in China, everything seems to favor social intercourse, such as gatherings of friends, KTV, group travel, dining together, playing cards and Mahjong, plus the Chinesestyle streetcrossing group”可知，现代人忙于在各种场合应付，即使回到家里也是忙于在微信朋友圈“讨论事情”。故选C。7What can we know from Einsteins words?AYou should be successful if you spend all your time by yourself.BYou should exercise more if you want to keep your minds healthy.CYou will not bee successful if you join in more social intercourse.DYou will be more successful if you can make your lonely time meaningful.解析：选D推理判断题。爱因斯坦的话说“不是你的工作时间，而是你的业余时间决定了你是否会成功”，所以可知，只有把业余时间或者说独自度过时光过得更加充实和有意义才会成功。故选D。8Which may be the best title for this passage?ALive on Your OwnBHappiness And LonelinessCThe Secret of SuccessDPractice Your Social Ability解析：选B标题归纳题。这是一篇议论文，讲述了幸福和孤独之间的关系。故选B。.阅读七选五Five secrets to living a sunshine lifeDont avoid or ignore negativity.In order to conquer and overe the negativity, it must be acknowledged.
