廣西來賓市2024高考英語一輪閱讀理解專練（1）含答案

　　閱讀下列四篇短文，從每小題后所給的A,B,C或D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

　　Top lists are lecturing people on everything from “100 places to visit” to “100 books to read”. Aren't you just tired of being told what to do with your time?

　　Now you have a list to end all lists!

　　Take a look at the following two examples from the list of “101 things not to do”：

　　Swim with Dolphins(海豚)?

　　Swimming with dolphins is one of the world's most profitable tourist activities.However, not every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water. Worse yet,

　　when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋槳)．

　　Here's a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they're just opening their mouths.

　　Go to See the Mona Lisa?

　　There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的) smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can't all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying, standing in front of you; holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.

　　If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn't just be smiling, she'd be laughing.

　　So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die. Visit not2dobeforeidie.co.uk and buy the book at a 20% discount.

　　1. According to the passage, swimming with dolphins ________.

　　A. is the world's most popular tourist activity

　　B. gives fun to both tourists and dolphins

　　C. will make tourists busy and tired

　　D. can cause danger to dolphins

　　2. What does the author think about going to see Mona Lisa?

　　A. It is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile.

　　B. It is not as satisfying as expected.

　　C. Fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough.

　　D. Queuing for hours is worthwhile.

　　3. The list of “101 things not to do” is made most probably because its author ________.

　　A. thinks it boring to do the things suggested by other lists

　　B. believes other lists are not humorous enough

　　C. intends to persuade people to read more lists

　　D．wants to provide a list different from other lists

　　4. What is the main purpose of the passage?

　　A. To advertise a book.

　　B. To introduce a website.

　　C. To comment on popular

　　lists.

　　D. To recommend tourist activities.

　　【要點綜述】該篇短文前面否定“100 lists to do”的種種弊端，最后推出自己的101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die，很明顯是一則常見的廣告。

　　. D　細節(jié)理解題。從Swim with Dolphins下面材料中的第一段最后一句可知和海豚一起游泳會給海豚帶來危險。

　　. B　細節(jié)理解題。在Go to See the Mona Lisa的材料中，作者反復(fù)論證了go to see the Mona Lisa的諸多弊端，每年大量的游客前往參觀，個人不可能有預(yù)想的觀賞效果。

　　. D　推理判斷題。該文采取先抑后揚的寫作技巧，其目的是要提出不同的觀點。

　　. A　寫作意圖題。該篇材料最后點出寫作目的，即為101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die打廣告。閱讀下列材料，從每題所給的選項中選出最佳選項。體裁：說明文　話題：異國風(fēng)情　詞數(shù)：660　時間：7′

　　When you think of Victorian style homes, you probably imagine it as a Queen Anne home, complete with wonderful trim(飾物)painted in a contrasting color and stained glass windows.Victorian homes were built to leave a deep impression on others, and they are still impressive today.If you have a chance to visit one Victorian style home, you will find the following typical characteristics in the place you are visiting：

　　Narrow and Tall

　　Most Victorian houses are narrow, which allows these impressive beauties to be built on a small amount of land.They are often close to other Victorian homes, usually near the center of town.What these houses lack in width they make up for in height; a typical Victorian house is three stories tall and on a full－size basement.

　　Stairs

　　Because the Victorian is built to impress, intricate(錯綜復(fù)雜的)or grand entrances are usually constructed.These stairways usually lead to wrap－around front porches decorated with turned wood or wrought iron railings.

　　Towers and Turrets (塔樓)

　　These unique rooms could be studies, bedrooms or libraries.They give Victorian homes a castle feel and recall the Gothic mansions that inspired early Victorian designs.Because these houses are often three or even four stories tall, these turrets can be quite impressive.

　　Decorative Trim

　　Although the trim is produced on a large scale, there are several different styles and designs.Everything from Italianate egg－and－dart molding to carved Gothic Revival fascia can be found on a Victorian home.It is not at all unusual to find Queen Anne, Gothic and Italianate elements all on the same house, as the goal is to create something unique and unusual.According to Victorian design rules, the trim should have painted a distinctly different color than the siding for emphasis.In most cases in the 18th century in the UK, three to five different colors of paint were used: one of these colors was used for the house, and the rest of the colors were used for the trim.

　　Bay Windows

　　Large windows, which are sometimes filled with stained glass or topped with stained glass panels, are also special features in Victorian houses.These bays can either be walkout versions or have a built－in bench.

　　Asymmetrical (不對稱的) House Design

　　Victorian era architects loved the challenge of varied roof lines and asymmetrical designs.The houses are made to be individual and unique.Even if the basic design of a group of houses is the same, you can expect to find unique window styles and architectural details that give each house its own personality.

　　Extras

　　Classic Victorian homes have wrap－around porches with beautiful trim and tiny balconies or crow's nests on the upper floors.Some of these porches, balconies and crow's nests are functional, but some are just for show.Nothing is wasted too much for a Victorian home.

　　Finding Victorian Homes

　　Where can you find Victorian style homes? You can find at least one of two Victorian style homes in most urban areas, but some cities have more than others.The Old West End, a famous neighborhood in Toledo, Ohio, has the most Victorian style homes in the United States.San Francisco is also known for its beautiful, restored Victorian homes.Savannah, Georgia is a lovely city to visit and explore, as its many Victorian homes are located on charming squares with interesting gardens and sculptures, making it a fabulous place to visit.If you explore these cities, you will find Victorian bed and breakfasts that are perfect for an elegant stay.

　　閱讀理解閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。

　　Shirley Temple Black, who lifted America’s spirit as a bright-eyed child movie star during the Great Depression, peacefully passed away at her California home on Monday evening at 85, surrounded by her family and caregivers.

　　Temple, born on April 23, 1928, started her entertainment career in the early 1930s and was famous by age 6. Temple was 3 when her mother put her in dance school, where a talent scout spotted her and got her in Baby Burlesks, a series of short movies with child actors playing in adult movies.

　　Movie studio directors took notice of her and in 1934 she appeared in the film Stand Up and Cheer! and her song and dance caught people’s attention. Movies such as Little Miss Marker and Bright Eyes featured her signature song. In 1935, she received a special Oscar for her “outstanding contribution to screen entertainment” in the movie Stand Up and Cheer!

　　She made some 40 feature movies, including The Little Colonel, Poor Little Rich Girl, Heidi and Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, in 10 years, starring with big-name actors like Randolph Scott, Lionel Barrymore and Jimmy Durante. Temple was a superstar before the term was invented. She said she was about 8 when crowds shouting their love for her made her realize she was famous. “I wondered why,” she recalled. “I asked my mother and she said, ‘Because your films make them happy.’ ”
