2019-2020年高考英語二輪復習 閱讀理解練習（4） 閱讀理解。 The week I turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end. My house, furniture and everything I’d owned was sold to pay debts that I didnt’ even know I had. In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce in the family. I’d lost everything except my four teenage children. I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Missouri to Hawaii. Everyone said I was crazy to think I could just go to an island and survive. I was afraid they were right. Knowing that no one in the world was going to help us, I rented a cheap apartment. I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day. One night as I walked alone on the beach, I saw the red orange glow of the lave (火山巖) pouring out of Kilarea Volcano in the distance. It was time to live my imagination! The next day I quit my job and invested my last paycheck in art supplies and began doing what I loved. I hadn’t painted a picture in 15 years. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked up a brush. But before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas in front of me. And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too. The first painting sold for $1,500 before I even had time to frame it. The past six years have been filled with adventures. My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins, watched whales and hiked around the volcano. We wake up every morning with the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us. The dream I had more than 40 years ago is now reality. I’m living freely and happily ever after. 1. It can be inferred from the passage that ______. A. the writer didn’t expect her marriage would end B. the writer’s parents were content with her divorce C. the writer’s husband took away most of her property D. there was something wrong with the writer’s job 答案解析：答案為A。本題為推理題。從第一段的第一句話 “The week I turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end.” 可以推斷，作者邁入50歲的那一周，婚姻突然解體，這個是她所沒有預料到的。故答案為A。 從第一段的 “My house, furniture and everything I’d owned was sold to pay debts that I didnt’ even know I had… I’d lost everything except my four teenage children.” 可以推斷，作者失去了所有的財產(chǎn)，而不是大部分財產(chǎn)，故C選項錯誤。又從 “In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce in the family.”可推斷，她的父母拒絕接受她的離婚，故選項B錯誤。D選項未提及。 2. The writer went to Hawaii to ______. A. free herself from trouble B. spend her holiday C. earn a living for the family D. realize her childhood’s dream 答案解析：答案為C。本題為推理題。由第二段前兩句話 “Knowing that no one in the world was going to help us, I rented a cheap apartment. I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day.”可知，作者帶著四個孩子去夏威夷后，沒人幫助，住廉價的公寓，一天工作18個小時，吃一頓飯，故可推斷她去夏威夷為了謀生。 3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage ? A. The writer is a woman of great determination. B. The writer has been fond of painting. C. The writer sold her first framed painting for 1,500 dollars. D. The writer likes a life full of adventures. 答案解析：答案為C。本題為推理題。結合全文，作者50歲的時候，婚姻瓦解，帶著四個孩子到夏威夷，偶然的機會發(fā)現(xiàn)了生財之道，利用自己以前的愛好謀生，自力更生，奮斗不息，可推斷她是位有決心的偉大女性，故A選項正確。由作者的經(jīng)歷和最后一段的倒數(shù)第二句話 “The dream I had more than 40 years ago is now reality.” 可知，作者一直喜歡繪畫，故B選項正確。由最后一段首句 “The past six years have been filled with adventures.” 可推斷，作者喜歡冒險生活，故選項D正確。 由第三段最后一句話 “The first painting sold for $1,500 before I even had time to frame it.” 可知，作者的第一幅畫在抽空上框之前就賣了$1,500，選項C與文意不符。故答案為C。 4. What would be the best title for this passage? A. My Broken Marriage B. A Hard Life in Hawaii C. Adventures over 6 Years D. My Life After Divorce 答案解析：答案為D。本題考查文章標題。全文描述了作者離婚后去夏威夷如何發(fā)現(xiàn)謀生的機會，如何過上幸福自由的快樂生活。故答案為D。 閱讀理解。 Home stay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home. What to Expect The host will provide acmodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health. Acmodation Zones Home stays are located in London mainly in Zones2,3 and of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is mercial and not residential(居住的). Zones3 and 4often offer larger acmodation in a less crowned area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground. Meal Plans Available ? Continental Breakfast ? Breakfast and Dinner ? Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your acmodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal（谷物類食品），bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee. Friends If you wish to invite a friend over to visit. You must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy. Self-Catering Acmodation in Private Homes Acmodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of acmodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary home stay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.

I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell. My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait. Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a bination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy. You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 81. Our home was a plete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester. The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives. In xx, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！ I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember；little steps add up to big dreams. ( ) 1.

She wanted to remain a full-time housewife. D. She was too confused to make a correct choice. ( ) 4. What dose the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Little by little, one goes far. C. Every coin has two sides. D. Well begun, half done. ( ) 5.Which of the following can best describe the author? A.

I felt so helpless,” she says. “What I wanted was the help with my very bright daughter who had a problem with language.” She was slow to learn to talk and at 9 her reading and writing were still poor. “We took her to psychologists and all sorts of experts, but for years nobody seemed to be able to give us a proper diagnosis or know what to do.” But that changed this month when she heard a radio program about an exhibition called Genes Talking at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London. It was about a research project to discover a gene lined with a condition known as specific language impairment. “As soon as I heard it I knew that this was what I’d been looking for,” she says. “I wasn’t alone; I wasn’t mad. There was someone who understood my daughter.” SLI covers speech and grammar problems suffered by children, the most familiar of which is dyslexia (誦讀困難). About 8 percent of children are recognized as dyslexic. But a similar number may be suffering from other forms of SLI and are not recognized. The condition is the failure of different parts of the brain to deal with speech and language, and different failures manifest (表明) themselves in different ways. The scientist involved in the ICA project was Professor Heather van der Leiy, the director of the Centre for Developmental Language Disorders and Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London, and a leading expert on SLI. “If we can find a genetic link, it will provide the kind of hard evidence that this is a genuine problem, which is needed if we are to cure the disease,” she says. 1. The underlined part in the first paragraph probably means Jo Eddings couldn’t _____. A. understand her daughter and was very sad B. help her daughter out of trouble and felt helpless C. afford to treat her daughter’s disease and felt sad D. find where to treat her daughter’s disease and felt ashamed 答案解析：答案為B。本題為句意推測題。從劃線部分后文 “I can’t describe my frustration. I felt so helpless,” she says. “What I wanted was the help with my very bright daughter who had a problem with language.”可知，Jo Eddings 對于女兒的疾病感到沮喪、無助，他非常需要幫助。故答案為B。 由第二段首句 “We took her to psychologists and all sorts of experts…”可推測，他們帶著女兒看了許多心理醫(yī)生和各種專家，應該有能力支付治療費用，故C選項錯誤。A選項和D選項的 “felt ashamed” 與文意不符。 2. Jo Eddings was pleased when she _______. A. visited and exhibition called Genes Talking B. heard a radio program about an exhibition C. discovered a gene linked with her daughter’s problem D. was given a proper diagnosis of her daughter’s illness. 答案解析：答案為B。本題為細節(jié)題。由第二段 “But that changed this month when she heard a radio program…” 可知，答案為B。 3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage ? A. Jo Eddings’ daughter was lonely and mad. B. Dyslexia is an unknown problem among the public. C. “SLI” stands for Specific Language Impairment. D. Jo Eddings’ daughter’s illness was cured at last. 答案解析：答案為C。本題為推理題。由第二段 “It was about a research project to discover a gene lined with a condition known as specific language impairment.” 和第三段首句 “SLI covers speech and grammar problems suffered by children, the most familiar of which is dyslexia.”可以推斷，C選項正確。 由第二段倒數(shù)第二句話 ““I wasn’t alone; I wasn’t mad.” 可知，選項A錯誤。由第三段 “About 8 percent of children are recognized as dyslexic.” 可知，B選項錯誤。D選項未提及。 4. On which column can we read the above passage in a newspaper? A. Education News. B. Health News. C. Business News. D. Economy News. 答案解析：答案為B。本題為推理題。結合全文和最后一段研究SLI的專家描述 “If we can find a genetic link, it will provide the kind of hard evidence that this is a genuine problem, which is needed if we are to cure the disease,” 可推斷，Jo Eddings的女兒的疾病屬于基因問題，和健康有關，故答案為B。
