2019-2020年高考英語二輪復習 閱讀理解練習（1） 閱讀理解 So you want to draw money from a bank? Do it yourself. Want to fix a broadband internet connection? Do it yourself. Need a boarding card for your flight? Do it yourself. In theory, panies can save money by replacing human workers with automated self-service systems, while customers gain more choices and control and get quicker service. There is even talk of self-service doing for the service department what mass production did for factories, by enabling the delivery of services cheaply and on a massive scale. Surely the expansion of self-service into more and more areas is to be weled? Not necessarily. When it is done well, self-service can do good to both panies and customers. But when done badly—who has not found themselves trapped in a series of endless touch—tone menus? In areas where self-service is only just started, this is less of a problem: angry customers can after all, always take their business elsewhere. But if every bank were to prefer self-service systems, customers would no longer be able to express their discount by voting with their feet. As a result, some banks, for example, already promise that their telephone-banking services always offer the choice of talking to a human operator. But in return for human service, many panies will simply charge more. Another disagreement to self-service is that while it saves panies money, it does not always save their customers’ time. In the best cases, it does, of course: checking yourself in at the airport can be quicker than queuing or making a phone call. But as more and more tasks are on to customers, they may start to hope for the days of old-fashioned service. All of this suggests that there are limits to how far self-service can be taken. panies that go too far down the self-service route or to do it incorrectly are likely to find themselves being punished. Instead, a balance between self-service and traditional forms of service is necessary. 1．From this passage, we can see that the writer the use of self-service technology. A. dislikes B. supports C. thinks highly of D. makes carefully judgment on 答案解析：答案為D。本題考查作者的觀點態(tài)度。結(jié)合第一段和最后一段可知，作者認為自助服務有優(yōu)點也有缺點，故答案為D，作者對自助服務的評價非常小心。 2．What advantages does the self-service technology certainly bring? A. Cutting the cost for the panies. B. Saving money for customers. C. Offering customers extra money. D. Defeating the traditional forms of service. 答案解析：答案為A。本題為細節(jié)題。由文章第一段 “In theory, panies can save money by replacing human workers with automated self-service systems, while customers gain more choices and control and get quicker service.” 可知，A選項正確，B、C錯誤。D選項未提及。 3．What does the writer mean by saying “customers would no longer be able to express their discount by voting with their feet”? A. customers would be so angry that they kick and damage the machine providing self-service. B. customers would not be able to express their anger at the bank’s service by leaving there C. customers would try their best to persuade the bank to stop self-service. D. customers would elect some leaders to have a talk with the bank. 答案解析：答案為B。本題為句意理解題。本句話出現(xiàn)在第二段的第五句話中，如果每個銀行將選擇自助服務系統(tǒng)，客戶會怎樣？結(jié)合下文給的例證可知，結(jié)果是銀行只能提供客戶人工操作的選擇，故可推斷如果客戶只能選擇自助服務系統(tǒng)，一旦它出現(xiàn)故障，客戶即使離開銀行也將無法表達對銀行服務的憤怒。故答案為B。 4．Which of the following statements does the writer agree to? A. Banks should supply self-service and traditional forms of service as well. B. Self-service in banks has so many week points and should be stopped. C. Self-service can bring about many conveniences and should be supported. D. Banks don’t consider customers’ needs in their business. 答案解析：答案為A。本題考查作者的觀點態(tài)度。本題與第一題類似，結(jié)合前面幾題的分析，作者認為自助服務可以給銀行和客戶帶來好處，但是自助服務也有不足之處。又由最后一段最后一句話 “Instead, a balance between self-service and traditional forms of service is necessary.” 可知，作者認為自助服務與傳統(tǒng)形式的服務保持平衡是必要的，故答案為A。 閱讀理解。 It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries. Then one day. Some visitors from the city arrived. The told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frogs legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other place. This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a batter future. But the dream didnt last long. The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately. The villagers decided that they couldnt just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(殺蟲劑) and medicines. Soon there was no money left. Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadnt been useless. They had been doing an important job---eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases. Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning. ( ) 1. From paragraph I we learn that the villagers __________. A. worked very hard for centuries B. dreamed of having a better life C. were poor but somewhat content D. lived a different life from their forefathers ( ) 2. Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs? A. the frogs were easy money B. They needs money to buy medicine C. they wanted to please the visitors D. the frogs made too much noise ( ) 3. What might be the cause of the childrens sickness? A. the crops didnt do well B. there were too many insects C. the visits brought in diseases D. the pesticides were overused ( ) 4. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text? A. Happiness es from peaceful life in the country B. Health is more important than money C. The harmony between man and nature is important D. good old day will never be forgotten 1. C.細節(jié)理解題.第一段中有 The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy.和 C 項意思一致. 2. A.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段和本段第一句 This seemed like money for nothing.句中 for nothing 是"免費的"意思,說明青蛙容易得到,并能賺到錢,村民才答應買. 3. B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中 They had been doing an important job---eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.可以推斷出莊稼收成不好, 孩子生病與青蛙減少, 害蟲增多有關(guān). 4. C.推理判斷題.最后一句 These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning. 現(xiàn) 在夜晚的這些聲音具有更深刻的意義. 該句是一個中介句, 說明人們過度捕殺造成生態(tài)失衡, 由此也影響了人類,因此,可以推斷人與自然的和諧是重要。 閱讀理解。 I hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because Im in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York. There, "Im having a dinner party means: "Im booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you cant afford and well be sharing the checque evenly, no matter what you eat." Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. Theyll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who dont drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: "Where are you going?" And its not like I can say I have somewhere to go: everyone know I have nowhere to go. But in London, dinner parties are in peoples homes. Not only that，the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India. Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations in New York. The mix is less striking. Its like a gathering at Bloomingdales, a well-known department store. For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York. But at Mallerys, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual new club ( ) 1. What does the word "shot" in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Choice. B. Try C. Style. D. Goal ( ) 2. What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New York? A There is a strange mix of people. B. The restaurants are expensive. C. The bill is not fairly shared. D. People have to pay cash ( ) 3. What does the author think of the parties in London? A. A bit unusual B. Full of tricks. C. Less costly. D More interesting. ( ) 4. What is the authors opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience? A. Easy-going. B. Self-centered. C. Generous. D. Conservative. 1. B.詞義猜測題.從第一句的 hate,到 but 意義上的轉(zhuǎn)折,說明盡管不喜歡,還是要"嘗 試一下",所以 try 的意思更接近 shot. 2. C.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段中 Theyll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who dont drink, end up paying even more.可知類似作者這樣的人在紐約吃飯 吃虧,因為付錢多. 3. D. 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第二段和其中的句子 Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. 可以推斷倫敦的 party 要比紐約的有趣. 4. B.推理判斷題.從最后一段的 talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York.和 In New York people would think it was a usual new club 可以推斷,作 者對一些紐約人的看法,是"以自我為中心的". 閱讀理解。 Anybody who can speak one language has ‘the gift’ to learn another.

And, although you aren’t in a classroom, you certainly won’t be left all alone .” 可知，Linguaphone課程可以讓學習者根據(jù)自己的節(jié)奏、時間和地點學習，哪怕不是在教室，也不會是獨自一人。故可以推斷該課程可以讓學習者自學，并不是到Linguaphone課程中心去學習。故C錯誤，D正確。 盡管第一段最后一句話 “Study as little as half an hour a day and in twelve weeks you could be talking confidently in the language of your choice.” 提到，該課程讓學習者12周內(nèi)可以自信地講學習的語言，但這畢竟是做廣告，廣告詞不免有夸大的成分，可見A 并不能作為合理的推斷。廣告以銷售產(chǎn)品為目的，不會免費。故答案B錯誤。 2．Before a learner wants to take a Linguaphone course , he has to .

A. Learners can master another language in 14 days. B. Learners can have a free trial learning for 14 days. C. Learners can keep the Linguaphone pack for 14 days. D.
