2024屆青島市高三英語一輪閱讀理解訓練(6)及答案
青島市2024高考英語閱讀理解選練(6)及答案(一輪)
【廣東省汕頭市2024模擬】
閱讀理解閱讀下列四篇短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺騙)?When someone tells you something that is true,but leaves out important information that should be included,he can give you a false picture.For example,someone might say, ''I just won a hundred.dollars on the lottery(彩票).It was great.I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!".This guy's a winner,right? Maybe,maybe not.We then discover that he bought$200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner.He’s really a big loser! He didn't say anything that was false,but he left out important information on purpose.That's called a half-truth.Half truths are not technically lies,but they are just as dishonest.
Some politicians often use this trick.Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term,her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs.Then she seeks another term.One of her opponents says, “During Governor Smith’s term,the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true.However,an honest statement would have been,“During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths.It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth.An advertisement might say,''Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.'' It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of deception happens too often.It’s a sad fact of life:Lies are lies,and sometimes the truth can 1ie as well.
The underlined word“opponents”in Paragraph 3 means
.
A.enemy
B.partner
C.cooperator
D.assistant
We may infer that the author believes people should
.
A:.buy lottery tickets if possible
B.make use of half-truths
C.be careful about what they are told D.not trust the Yucky Company
How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?
A.One.
B.Two.
C.Three.D.Four.
Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Using half truths is against the law.
B.Technically,half truths are in fact lies.
C.Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.
D.Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.M1ich of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A.He’s really a big loser!
B.Sometimes the truth can lie as well.
C.Advertisers will sometimes use half truths.
D.It’s against the law to make false statements.

(2024·廣州市統考)America's Top 4 Tourist Attractions
Below you'll find the most popular travel and vacation destinations in the US.
1.Times Square,New York City
This Manhattan crossroads of commerce is the top spot on our list,thanks to increasing visitors to the Big Apple in 2008 despite the economic turndown.According to statistics,“80% of visitors to NYC make it a point to visit Times Square.”Total NYC visits last year were 47 million,giving us an estimate of 37.6 million travelers through the“Crossroads of the World”.
2.The Las Vegas Strip,Nev.
The“Neon Trail”that makes up the heart of Sin City is also part of the federal government's National Scenic Byways Program,which designates roads based on “archeological,cultural,historic,natural,recreational and scenic qualities”.Hard to say which of these qualities best describes Vegas,but we can disqualify“natural”.Last year,total visitors to Las Vegas numbered 37.5 million;a poll by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority found that an average of 80% of visitors had either stayed overnight or gambled(賭博)on the Strip.
3.National Mall and Memorial Parks,Washington,D.C.
Many of the nation's iconic(圖標的)public landmarks are found in the 1,000-plus acres of the National Mall and Memorial Parks,including the Washington Monument,the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials,and the Korean and Vietnam War Veterans memorials.The Smithsonian Institution's 19 museums are also close to the Mall;last year,the network of free museums drew more than 25 million visitors.
4.Faneuil Hall Marketplace,Boston
Built in 1742 by Peter Faneuil,a wealthy Boston merchant,Faneuil Hall served as a commercial center of the city for centuries and a site for famous orations(演說),like Samuel Adams' independence-rallying speech to colonists.Faneuil also includes the restored 19th-century Quincy Market.Today,shoppers account for a large share of visitors.Faneuil's historic significance vaults it to the status of cultural attraction,attracting 20 million visitors every year.

答案 D
It was the first snow of winter—an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now, I had been old enough to dress myself, but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, had been through first snow days many times, but I think she may still remember this one.
I managed to get into my wool snow trousers. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots (靴子).
In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence (信心).
I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected grown-ups to do all the work. After much pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.
I announced, “They’re on the wrong feet.”
She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.
"They’re my brother’s boots, you know, “ I said. “I hate them!”
Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying (煩人的)little girl. She pushed and pushed, less gently this time. With a greater sigh, seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, “Now, where are your mittens (連指手套)?”
I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.”
1. The little girl was more satisfied with her .
A. trousers B. jacketC. boots D. hat
2. Miss Finlayson had difficulty with the girl’s boots mainly because .
A. the girl got them from her brother
B. the girl put something in them
C. they were on the wrong feet
D. they did not fit the girl well
3. Why does the author say Miss Finlayson would remember that first snow day?
A. Because the little girl was in her brother’s clothes.
B. Because it was the most exciting day of the winter.
C. Because the little girl played a trick on her.
D. Because the little girl wore a pretty scarf.
4. We can learn from the text that Miss Finlayson .
A. was losing confidence in the little girl
B. gradually lost patience with the little girl
C. became disappointed with the little girl
D. was getting bored with the little girl

(2024·)The multi-million pound new Library of Birmingham (LoB)will be the most visible sign of the way the city is accepting the digitalization(數字化)of everyday life.
Set to open in 2024,the£188m LoB is already beginning to take shape next to the Birmingham Repertory Theatre,with which it will share some equipment.
As digital media(媒介)is important to its_idea,the project is already providing chances for some of the many small new local companies working at the new technologies.
Brian Gambles,the LoB project director,says it is about giving people the right tools for learning:“The aim is to mix the physical with the digital,providing 24-hour services which can be used through many different ways.It is important to enable us to reach more people,more effectively.”
The digital library will,he says,be as important as the physical one,allowing the distant use of the services, making sure that it is never closed to the public.
Even before the LoB is complete,the public has been able to go online to visit the Virtual(虛擬的)LoB,designed by Baden,the Birmingham virtual worlds specialists.Not only have the public been able to learn about the LoB,but the virtual one has also enabled those working on the LoB to understand the building and how it will work before it even opens.
Two other small Birmingham-based digital companies are also working on the LoB projects.Substrat,a digital design company,is developing what it calls an example of an “enlarged reality” project.It is about the use of an exciting smart phone,an important part of the LoB which is in the early stages of development.And The People's Archive is an online library of historical figures of the city being built up by a digital content company in Cahoots,in
which users will be encouraged to add to and comment on
the material.
Gambles says:“Technology will enable us to make the library's content and services open to citizens as never before”
【語篇解讀】 本文是一則資訊報道。即將落成的Library of Birmingham(LoB)將是伯明翰市接受日常生活數字化的標志。
13.The underlined part“its idea”in Paragraph 3 refers to the idea of ________.
A.the equipment
B.the project
C.the digital media
D.the physical library
解析 詞義猜測題。第三段中的“the project”指的是文章中出現的“the LoB project”,結合畫線部分的上下文語境可知此處講的是數字媒體對這個項目很重要,所以B項正確。
答案 B
14.While visiting the Virtual LoB,the public can ________.
A.get a general idea of the LoB
B.meet many world-famous experts
C.learn how to put up a library building
D.understand how the specialists work on the project
解析 細節理解題。根據第六段中的“Not only have the public been able to learn about the LoB...”可知,公眾訪問虛擬LoB可了解LoB的大體情況。
答案 A
15.Which of the following is true of the LoB when it opens?
A.a,b,d
B.a,c,e
C.b,c,d
D.b,d,e
解析 推理判斷題。根據第四段內容可知a、b兩項正確,e項錯誤;根據倒數第二段的第二、三句可知c項錯誤;由倒數第二段的最后一句可知d項正確。故選A項。
答案 A
16.The text is most probably taken from ________.
A.a computer book
B.a library guide
C.a project handbook
D.a newspaper report
