泉州市2024高考英語文章突破一輪訓(xùn)練（7）及答案
C7[重慶卷]
In his 1930 essay “Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren”， John Keynes，a famous
economist, wrote that human needs fall into two classes: absolute needs, which are independent of what others have, and relative needs, which make us feel superior to our fellows. He thought that although relative needs may indeed be insatiable(無止境的), this is not true of absolute needs.
Keynes was surely correct that only a small part of total spending is decided by the desire for superiority. He was greatly mistaken, however, in seeing this desire as the only source of insatiable demands.
Decisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality which can influence the demand for almost all goods, including even basic goods like food. When a couple goes out for an anniversary dinner, for example, the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them. Their goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals.
There are no obvious limits to the escalation of demands for quality. For example, Porsche, a famous car producer, has a model which was considered perhaps the best sports car on the market. Priced at over $120,000, it handles perfectly well and has great speed acceleration. But in 2004, the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in handling and acceleration. People who really care about cars find these small improvements exciting. To get them, however, they must pay almost four times the price.
By placing the desire to be superior to others at the heart of his description of insatiable demands, Keynes actually reduced such demands. However, the desire for higher quality has no natural limits.
72. According to the passage, John Keynes believed that________.
A. desire is the root of both absolute and relative needs
B. absolute needs come from our sense of superiority
C. relative needs alone lead to insatiable demands
D. absolute needs are stronger than relative needs
73. What do we know about the couple in Paragraph 3?
A. They want to show their superiority.
B. They find specialty important to meals.
C. Their demands for food are not easily satisfied.
D. Their choice of dinner is related to ideas of quality.
74. What does the underlined word “escalation” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Understanding.
B. Increase.
C. Difference.
D. Study.
75. The author of the passage argues that ________.
A. absolute needs have no limits
B. demands for quality are not insatiable
C．human desires influence ideas of quality
D. relative needs decide most of our spending
【要點綜述】本文就人的需要的分類進行了論述。作者首先敘述了對John Keynes觀點的部分認同，但其后則是對其觀點的批駁。該文作者認為，人的需要在很大程度上是對質(zhì)量的無盡追求。
72. C 細節(jié)理解題。短文第一段最后一句說明John Keynes需要論的觀點：相對需要是無止境的。
73. D 推理判斷題。從該段第一句可知作者在該段一再強調(diào)的是質(zhì)量需求的重要性。這對夫婦在外面就餐慶祝結(jié)婚周年即體現(xiàn)了對該頓晚餐的選擇與對其質(zhì)量的要求相關(guān)。
74. B 詞義猜測題。從該段材料對保時捷的改進及人們對此改進趨之若鶩的追求來看，人們對質(zhì)量需求是不斷提高的。因此可斷定該詞含義為“提高”。
75. A 推理判斷題。第一段對John Keynes關(guān)于absolute needs的觀點進行了肯定和質(zhì)疑，而下文提出質(zhì)量需求是無止境的。該題主要說明作者對John Keynes關(guān)于relative needs是無止境的論斷的質(zhì)疑。干擾最大的是B選項，該觀點是作者的觀點，而不是被質(zhì)疑的觀點。該題題干中的argue在此是“質(zhì)疑和爭辯”的意思。

故事類[湖南卷] A
What makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt？Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?
This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father.My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming，and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky，inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I
was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.
I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe；my dad recited it as much as he did the other.I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.
Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed
in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.
56. The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was ________.
A．doing shopping
B．having a debate

A．a(chǎn) photo of a flower

D．a(chǎn) text about Christmas
58. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to a poem by ________.
A. the father
B．the author
C．William Blake
D．Edgar Allan Poe
59. The author made the gift by ________.
A．searching for the poems online
B．drawing the background by hand
C．painting the letters in three colors
D．matching the words with pictures
60. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To show how to design images for gifts.
B．To suggest making gifts from one's heart.
C．To explain how computers help create gifts.
D.To describe the gifts the author has received.
【要點綜述】作者一直不知道給父親買什么禮物，但是偶爾看到父親的信息使其想到了爸爸“讀詩歌”的愛好，因而用心制作了“詩配花”的圖片禮物。最后作者看到父親對待禮物的態(tài)度，知道自己做對了。
56. C 細節(jié)理解題。考查對文章細節(jié)的理解和判斷能力。根據(jù)文章的第二段可知：作者拿出手機時看到了媽媽發(fā)來的信息，偶然看到了爸爸發(fā)來的信息。信息是一朵花，花兒使作者想到了爸爸的話，因而使作者想到了給爸爸的禮物。故選C。
57. A 細節(jié)理解題。考查對文章的細節(jié)的理解和判斷能力。見上一題的解析。
58. D 詞義猜測題。考查上下文中代詞的指代。根據(jù)第三段中的I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it.可知，作者在見到這首詩的同時“也”把它打出來了。這就是Edgar Allan Poe寫的詩。故選D。
59. D 細節(jié)理解題。考查對文章細節(jié)的理解和判斷能力。根據(jù)第三段的第二句可知：作者先在電腦上找到這種花，然后在花上打上字。可見其禮物是“配有文字的圖片”。
60. B 推理判斷題。考查對文章的言外之意進行復(fù)合邏輯的推理判斷的能力。作者“詩配花”的禮物，靈感來自于爸爸的信息和小時候?qū)Π职值挠∠螅@種禮物雖不昂貴，但確實是用心做出來的，爸爸收到禮物時的態(tài)度使得作者相信自己送對了禮物。A、C兩項都是第三段的細節(jié)；D項與原文意思不符。故選B。

TAIBEI—Increasing numbers of Taiwanese students are joining the island's “China rush”，seeking education on the Chinese mainland.
According to official Chinese figures，the number of Taiwanese students admitted into college and postgraduate(研究生)programs on the mainland totaled 461 in 1996,928 in 1997 and 839 in 1998.Although no latest official numbers were available，” Netbig.Com said this number had risen between 30 to 50 percent annually in the past two years with well over 1,000 entering mainland campuses last year.
The Internet site，based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen，provides education service and information on Chinese mainland college and universities. “Many Taiwanese believe a Chinese education giving more knowledge about the people and culture in the mainland will increase their chances in the Chinese job market，Net.Com vice-president Ingrid Huang said.“I believe it will give me hands-on experience in the business field in the Chinese mainland and a better understanding of the Chinese mainland people，” said Lydia Chang，a 19-year-old majoring in journalism at Shih Shin University.Chang plans to go on to get a master's degree in business administration in Shanghai，which she says offers the best environment for such studies.
A journalism graduate student，surnamed Lin，at the National Taiwan University said he would like to study law on the Chinese mainland since “there will be better career prospects now that more Taiwanese companies are going there”．“They hope the children could build up connections which could later become useful in their business operations，” said Yang Ching-yao，professor of the Chinese mainland studies.A Netbig.Com survey showed the campuses favored by Taiwan students included Beijing，Qinghua and Renmin universities in Beijing，and Jinan and Zhongshan universities in Guangzhou.The most popular studies were law，business and Chinese medicine.
At present，Chinese Taibei doesn't recognize diplomas earned in the Chinese mainland nor help with any inquiries about studying there.But recognizing the trend，education authorities are giving a final form to a policy accepting certificates(證書)from selected universities.
