四川省簡陽市2024高考英語閱讀理解選練（6）

　　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。

　　It's 5：00 in the morning when the alarm (鬧鐘) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I force my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. It's not a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.

　　Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother's chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you，” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it's okay to just say “no”. I shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat.

　　So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5：00 a．m.？What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self-confidence and energy，extends life and above all improves my body shape.This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right.It's through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.

　　一個每天按時起床鍛煉身體的女人，一個有著自己個性與喜好的女人，為了保持自己的體型，降低壓力，提高自信，堅持著這種日復一日的鍛煉，讓自己每天都掛著笑容面對生活。

　　1．Why is there a smile on the author's face in the morning?

　　A．Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.

　　B．Because she finishes her favorite exercise.

　　C．Because she enjoys the interesting DVD.

　　D．Because she feels a sense of achievement.

　　答案：D。細節判斷題。根據第一個段落的最后一句話， 先排除C的說法；在本句中“a smile of success of pushing…”可以斷定其實是一種成就感令她臉上掛著笑容。最大的干擾項可能會是B，但如果細讀，會找到關鍵詞“success”。

　　2．Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?

　　A．She doesn't treat others politely.

　　B．She likes to make others surprised.

　　C．Others don't understand what she dose.

　　D．Others try to help her by offering her food.

　　答案：C。細節判斷題。從本段的情節來看，選項A，D都相差甚遠；而“I need exercise to get through each day”正是表明了作者的喜好，而不是像選項B說的喜歡出奇，故排除B。從“raised their eyebrows, surprised by...”來看，其實別人是感到奇怪而已。

　　3．What does the underlined word “commitment” in the last paragraph mean?

　　A．Good health.

　　B．Firm belief.

　　C．A strong power.

　　D．A regular habit.

　　答案：B。詞意理解題。從全文的語境信息來看，這么多年，這么堅持，這么享受，而且從“sweat”一詞身上也能找到提示，即：堅定的信念與汗水，故選項B最符合語境。

　　4．What can we learn about the author from the text?

　　A．She acts in a strange way.

　　B．She wants to look different from others.

　　C．She aims to develop a good body shape.

　　D．She has difficulty getting along with others.

　　答案：C。理解判斷題。文章的最后一段中有一句話“above all improves my body shape”，從這句話中可以確定選項C的說法是正確的。

　　任務型閱讀。請認真閱讀下列短文，并根據所讀內容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰當的單詞。注意：每空格1個單詞。

　　Parents can help their seventh and eighth grade students stand out in and out of their English classroom by introducing them to newspapers. Newspapers not only offer information on current events, but they can also be used to test your child's knowledge of grammar, vocabulary, and more.

　　Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How

　　Have your child read the first couple of paragraphs of a news story. Ask them to write down all of the important facts, such as who, what, where, when, why and how. This helps parents to see if their children comprehend the basic facts and information they read.

　　Grammar

　　Parents can monitor a child's understanding of grammatical parts of speech (詞性) without a grammar textbook. Ask your child to read a paragraph in an article and then list a specific number of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions and the like, which serves more of a test of their grammatical knowledge. Encourage them to list each of these parts of speech in a paragraph. Then, reread the paragraph to see if they missed anything.

　　Persuasion

　　Ask your child to select an advertisement from the newspaper. Have them investigate how specific words or phrases influence their feelings about a particular product. Then, encourage them to create an advertisement of their own for an item they do not like. Tell them not to show their true feelings and try to make people want to buy this unwanted item. After that, ask them to list the persuasive techniques used in their ad.

　　Facts vs Opinions

　　Select an editorial for your middle schooler to read. Have your child divide a piece of paper into two columns, one marked fact, and the other marked opinion. Have your student decide which column it fits under. This will help your child better understand facts versus opinions. Another related exercise is responding to an editorial. Encourage your child to write letters to the editor or responses to editorials or other articles. Before your child sends his or her letter, check the opinion section to see what requirements there are.

　　Headlines and Synonyms (同義詞)

　　Ask your middle schooler to rewrite a couple of headlines using the synonyms of the original words. Compare the headlines. Do the original versions or the rewrites sound better? This is a great exercise to help students learn synonyms and expand their vocabulary.

　　If you find your seventh or eighth grade child is struggling with these newspaper activities, it may be an indicator that they have fallen behind in their reading skills. These activities were designed with a seventh or eighth grader in mind; therefore, while they are educational, they should be more of reinforcement (增強) instead of a major reading challenge.

　　任務型讀寫（共10小題；每小題1分，滿分10分）

　　閱讀下面短文，根據所讀內容在表格中的空白處填入恰當的單詞。 注意：每個空格只填一個單詞。

　　In 2000, the world's first mobile phones with cameras were put on the market in Japan. Two years later, these phones were released in Australia, Europe and the United States. A market research shows that there has been a sharp rise in worldwide sales from 80 million mobile camera phones in 2003 to 1.14 billion by 2024.

　　Camera phones have not only been used for entertainment. In Sweden, a grocer snapped a shot of a robber and downloaded the photograph to his computer, which allowed the police to catch the suspect. In Italy, the same thing was done when a shop owner snapped pictures of two robbers. In Wales, doctors send photos of X-rays to consult a more experienced specialist about medical treatment for their patients. In Japan, the police have set up a website for citizens to send pictures of suspicious activities.

　　Now, newspaper reporters can use camera phones to take pictures of important events. They can then send the pictures to their newspaper office. As the quality of camera phone pictures increases, we can expect to see camera phones used more and normal cameras used less. More people are using their camera phones to take pictures of their trips, or just small unexpected things that happen in their daily lives. They can then send these pictures to friends anywhere.

　　However, camera phones have also been used to commit crimes. To prevent spying, these phones are not allowed in government buildings in the United Kingdom. Some car companies don't allow their employees to use their phones because they want to prevent some employees watching new car models and sensitive information secretly. In Italy, to prevent dishonest voting, people are not allowed to use mobile phones while they vote. It appears that although there are many advantages to the new technology, we still have to be careful.

　　Title: Camera Phones

　　Introduction The sales of camera phones have 76.______ sharply since they came onto the market.

　　Advantages of

　　camera phones ·People can use camera phones for 77.______.

　　·The pictures taken with camera phones led to robbers being 78.______
