    2021年高考英语精品试题专题13 阅读表达 训练4一、阅读理解题 When young people in the United States gather for fun, there is a good chance that they will soon be dancing. If there are no musicians, they will play records. If there are no records, someone is certain to have a radio. One way or another there will be dancing. The ways that boys and girls dance will often change every year or two. You may hear them say that the very latest steps are "in", while last year's steps are "out". Each boy and girl takes pride in learning the newest things. They feel that it is important to remain popular with their friends. Years ago the dances of young people were not very different from those of their parents, but high school and college students of today have created their own music and have invented their own dances, thanks to people like Chubby Checker, the Beatles and Elvis Presley. These musicians helped to make popular an exciting new kind of music that people began to dance to in a different way. In the late 1950s Chubby Checker started a dance that he called the "twist". The "twist", like so many new dances, was lively, and people who performed it used a lot of energy. The word chubby means "a little bit fat", which is why this singer and dancer called himself Chubby. After demonstrating his new dance hundreds of times, however, Chubby was no longer chubby. This is one of the advantages. Even if older people do not like the new dances, they must agree that people get much more exercise from modern dances than they have ever got from the waltz.(1) What are three ways to have music for dancing? (No more than 4 words) (2) How often do ways of dancing to music change? (No more than 4 words) (3) For what purpose do young people learn the newest dance? (No more than 6 words) (4) Why did Chubby Checker become famous? (No more than 6 words) (5) What is an advantage of modern dancing? (No more than 3 words) There is a lot to learn about the creations of Beatrix Potter—not only is she the author and illustrator of one of the world's most famous children's books, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, but also a pioneering conservationist with the spirit of a scientist."Potter grew up as the daughter of a wealthy Victorian family, but along with her brother filled an entire floor of their large house in London with all sorts of animals," said Anne Lundin, a retired professor for the UW-Madison School of Library and Information Studies."As an adult, she was a frustrated botanical illustrator and scientist. That field was not open to her because she was female," Lundin said. Potter was urged to turn the charming illustrations and stories she wrote in letters to children into books. She wrote 23 books in all—a body of work that has inspired plays, ballets, films and an astonishing amount of merchandise."The Tale of Peter Rabbit is probably the most famous children's book in the world, which was published in 1902 and has really stood the test of time. It's been translated into 36 languages. The parents and grandparents will share it with the next generation," said Lundin.Potter also made a mark on the world through her land conservation. "In many ways, she was like Peter Rabbit, venturing into (冒险进入) a world of adventure and risk. She withdrew from London as soon as she started making some money on her books to the Lake District and became an extremely important farmer and conservationist. She preserved and passed on 15 farms and over 4,000 acres, which were given back to the country as gifts in the 20th century," said Lundin.Even though she was born 150 years ago, she was amazingly modern—her embracing of the natural world, commented Jennifer Blatchley Smith, an artistic director of the show Peter Rabbit Tales to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Potter's birth.(1) When did The Tale of Peter Rabbit come out? (no more than 2 words)(2) What does the word "frustrated" in the third paragraph mean? (only one word)(3) What is Beatrix Potter? (no more than 8 words)(4) Why does the author write the article? (no more than 10 words)(5) What do you think helped Beatrix Potter to write The Tale of Peter Rabbit successfully? Give your reasons. (no more than 25 words)After an exhausting swim practice on a cold winter evening, I received an invitation from my friend Lucy, asking me to attend a dance. At the top of the invitation, Young Angels was written across the page. Young Angels was organizing a dance to raise money for community service projects. I thought it was such a great idea that I not only wanted to attend it, but also wanted to become involved.This was over two years ago and since then, I have become a lead member in Young Angels of America. At each dance, teens not only have fun with their friends but are also informed about different charities. Knowing that I have taught others how they can get involved makes me feel satisfied and delighted.The most memorable experience of my time in Young Angels was the Middle School Winter Dance in 2007, when we had a special child help organize the dance and participate in the event. This child was Lily. Lily had a dreadful disease that will eventually kill her. Lily had the best attitude to towards life: she enjoyed every moment and made the best of it. Lily got me inspired to help others and never take any moment for granted.I now have a dream, I want to inspire as many children as possible to volunteer. So many kids don't realize hew easy it is to make a difference to the world. I am only 15 years old and I have organized over five events, getting nearly 1,000 children involved. I want to be the angel to inspire that passion in others to make the difference that I feel as I have made to my community.(1) What's the purpose of the dance organized by Young Angels? (no more than 8 words)(2) How did the author feel about her influence on others? (no more than 6 words)(3) What does the underlined word "dreadful" in Paragraph 3 mean? (1 word)(4) What is the author's dream? (no more than 10 words)(5) What do you think of the author's dream? (no more than 25 words) The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain. As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment and self-improvement. Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night's sleep or a three-day vacation. I don't know any parent who would choose the word "fun" to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild. Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.(1) According to the author, why does a bachelor resist marriage? (no more than 10 words) (2) What is the author's opinion on raising children? (no more than 10 words) (3) Please explain the underlined word "commitment" in English in Paragraph 3. (1 word) (4) What is the author trying to tell us? (no more than 10 words) (5) How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? (no more than 20 words) 答案一、阅读理解题1. 【答案】(1) Musician, records and radios.(2) Every year or two.(3) To remain popular with their friends.(4) Because he invented a new dance./ Because he started the "twist" dance.(5) Much more exercise.2. 【答案】(1) In 1902.(2) Disappointed./ Annoyed./ Upset.(3) A writer/ author, illustrator, conservationist and farmer/ scientist.(4) In celebration of Potter's 150th birthday./ To celebrate the 150th anniversary of Potter's birth.(5) Open. (Her life and work experiences. Because......)【解析】(1) 正确答案是In 1902。此题是细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The Tale of Peter Rabbit is probably the most famous children's book in the world, which was published in 1902 and has really stood the test of time.”可以得知,《彼得兔的故事》出版于1902年。(2) 正确答案是Disappointed./ Annoyed./ Upset.此题是词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“'As an adult, she was a frustrated botanical illustrator and scientist. That field was not open to her because she was female,' Lundin said.”可以推断,作为一个成年人,Beatrix Potter是一个沮丧的植物插图画家和科学家。因为Beatrix Potter是女性,所以这个领域对她是不开放的。所以她很失望、难过、懊恼,可以推、出“frustrated”的意思是“令人沮丧的”。(3) 正确答案是A writer/ author, illustrator, conservationist and farmer/ scientist.此题是细节理解题。根据文章第一段“not only is she the author…also a pioneering conservationist with the spirit of a scientist.”,第三段“As an adult, she was a frustrated botanical illustrator and scientist. ”和第五段“She withdrew from London as soon as she started making some money on her books to the Lake District and became an extremely important farmer and conservationist. ”可推知答案。(4) 正确答案是In celebration of Potter's 150th birthday./ To celebrate the 150th anniversary of Potter's birth.此题是推理判断题。根据最后一段“Even though she was born 150 years ago, she was amazingly modern—her embracing of the natural world, commented Jennifer Blatchley Smith, an artistic director of the show Peter Rabbit Tales to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Potter's birth.”可以推断,作者撰写这篇文章的目的是庆祝Potter诞辰150周年。(5) 此题是主观题,依据对文章的理解回答。可以根据“Her life and work experiences. Because......”的格式回答。3. 【答案】(1) To raise money for community service projects.(2) She was/ felt satisfied and delighted.(3) Horrible./ Terrible./ Awful./ Frightening./ Fearful./ Painful./ Awesome./ Deadly.(4) To inspire as many children as possible to volunteer.(5) I think the author's dream can inspire many children to take part in volunteer work and make a difference to the world.【解析】(1) 正确答案是To raise money for community service projects。此题是细节理解题。根据“Young Angels was organizing a dance to raise money for community service projects. 年轻的天使们正在组织一场舞蹈,为社区服务项目筹集资金。”可知。(2) 正确答案是She was/ felt satisfied and delighted。此题是细节理解题。根据“Knowing that I have taught others how they can get involved makes me feel satisfied and delighted. 知道我已经教会了别人如何参与进来,让我感到满足和高兴。”可知。(3) 正确答案是Horrible./ Terrible./ Awful./ Frightening./ Fearful./ Painful./ Awesome./ Deadly。此题是词义猜测题。that will eventually kill her(最终会让她死去)是that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词disease,故disease的前置定语应该与定语从句所表达的意思一致,即指病重。(4) 正确答案是To inspire as many children as possible to volunteer。此题是细节理解题。根据“I now have a dream, I want to inspire as many children as possible to volunteer. 我现在有一个梦想,我想激励尽可能多的孩子去做志愿者。”可知。(5) 正确答案是I think the author's dream can inspire many children to take part in volunteer work and make a difference to the world。此题是主观题,合理作答即可。例如“我认为作者的梦想可以激励很多孩子参加志愿工作,使世界有所不同”可知。4. 【答案】(1) Because he is afraid of making a commitment/ taking on family responsibilities.(2) It is a rewarding job./ It involves pain but leads to happiness./ It is not fun but full of joy and happiness.(3) Responsibility./ Promise./ Devotion.(4) Happiness often goes hand in hand with (together with) pain.(5) The money spent on fancy clothes and new cars isn't worth because those things can't bring us more happiness.
