2017高考英语暑假阅读理解选练（一）

【2016高考训练题】阅读理解—主旨大意题、标题概括题。

Shami is a spy working for MI5, the British domestic security

service. Recently he was interviewed by the BBC for the now

TV documentary series. Modern Spies.

Shami isn't his real name and in the interview his face was in

shadow, so you couldn't identify him, but he spoke about his j

ob and what motivates him.

The interviewer asked Shami if he has any hesitation about s

pying on other people. “No, not at all,” replied Shami. “I know

why I'm doing it . I'm trying to prebent something major occurri

ng which could lead to loss of life . That's my biggest motivati

on.”

Asked how he felt when he was doing a spying activity, Shami

replied,” Excited. You feel a lot of pressure, but you understa

nd the task in hand and how serious it is. You are thinking ab

out potential dangers which might be a threat to yourself.” Sh

ami admitted that his biggest fear was missing a vital piece of

information, something that would go on to cause loss of life.

Shami said that there were some other intelligence officers w

orking at MI5's London headquarters. Spies like him are out o

n the ground while the others' job is to analyze intelligence fro

m a variety of different sources. He pointed out that vital piece

s come from human sources of agents from within suspected

terrorist organizations—

a standard plotline in Hollywood movies, but he thought 007 w

as pure fantasy.” The key element of the James Bond myth is

that we are some kind of illegal organization—

that's not the case. And I certainly wouldn't be the kind of lone

wolf in the films.”

Motivates Shami to carry out his job.

To spy on people

To prevent loss of life

To analyze important information

To get excitement from danger

It can be learned from the passage that

Shami once missed some important information

Shami is rarely stressed out when dong a task

The film 007 was a reflection of Shami's real life

MI5 is a legal organization

The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean

Shami never felt lonely because he could see films

Shami was not the leading actor in the film

Shami worked on a team rather than single-handedly

Shami needed the help of a wolf for his job

What can be the best title for the text?

A Real-Life Spy B. Modern Spies

C. Spy Movies D. Comparison on Spies

语篇解读

本文是篇记叙文。主要讲述的是现实生活中的一个间谍的故

事。

B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的

“I know why I'm doing it I'm trying to prevent something major

occurring which could lead to loss of life. That's my biggest m

otivation.”可知B项正确。

D 推理判断题。根据最后一段倒数第二句可知，D项符合文意

C 句意理解题。根据最后一段可知，不同的间谍分工不同：有

的负责在总部分析情报，有的则在外执行任务。任务的完成是

大家共同合作的结果，而不是像电影里詹姆斯·邦德一样单枪匹

马完成任务。

A 标题概括题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述的是现实生活中

的一个间谍，而非大多数人印象中的电影里的间谍。故选A项

最适合本文的标题。

【2013界广东省深圳市高三上期末考试】

Dear Kind-Trustee-Who-Sends-Orphans-to-College,

Here I am! I traveled yesterday for four hours in a train. It’s a f

unny feeling, isn’t it? I never rode in one before.

College is the biggest, most puzzling place — I get lost whene

ver I leave my room. I will write you a description later when I’

m feeling less confused; also I will tell you about my lessons.

Classes don’t begin until Monday morning, and this is Saturda

y night. But I wanted to write a letter first just to get acquainte

It seems strange to be writing letters to somebody you don't k

now. It seems strange for me to be writing letters at all — I've

never written more than three or four in my life, so please ove

rlook it if these are not a model kind.

Before leaving yesterday morning, Mrs. Lippett and I had a ve

ry serious talk. She told me how to behave all the rest of my lif

e, and especially how to behave towards the kind gentleman

who is doing so much for me. I must take care to be very resp

ectful.

But how can one be very respectful to a person who wishes to

be called John Smith? Why couldn’t you have picked out a n

ame with a little personality? I might as well write letters to De

ar Flagpole or Dear Clothes-line.

I have been thinking about you a great deal this summer; havi

ng somebody take an interest in me after all these years mak

es me feel as though I had found a sort of family. It seems as

though I belonged to somebody now, and it’s a very comforta

ble feeling. I must say, however, that when I think about you,

my imagination has very little to work upon. There are just thr

ee things that I know: I, You are tall. Ⅱ. You are rich. Ⅲ. You h

ate girls.

I suppose I might call you Dear Mr. Girl-

Hater. Only that's rather rude to me. Or Dear Mr. Rich-

Man, but that's rude to you, as though money were the only i

mportant thing about you. Besides, being rich is such a very e

xternal quality. Maybe you won’t stay rich all your life; lots of v

ery clever men get broke in Wall Street. But at least you will st

ay tall all your life! So I've decided to call you Dear Daddy-

Long-

Legs. I hope you won’t mind. It’s just a private pet name we w

on’t tell Mrs. Lippett.

The ten o’clock bell is going to ring in two minutes. Our day is

divided into sections by bells. We eat and sleep and study by

bells. It's very lifeful. There it goes! Lights out. Good night.

Observe how precisely I obey rules — due to my training in th

e John Grier Home.

Yours most respectfully,

Jerusha Abbott

To Mr. Daddy-Long-Legs Smith

本文是一个受赞助上大学的女孩子给自己的赞助者写的一封

信。告诉对方自己刚到学校，但对学校还不熟悉。写信人的主

旨是想表达自己对赞助人的感谢，但由于根本不知道对方到底

是个什么样的人，在信里作者做了几个猜测，最后决定称呼对

方Daddy-Long-Legs Smith，以此拉近彼此的距离。并表达了

自己对现在有规律的生活感觉很好。

36. Jerusha felt “confused” because __________.

A. she had never written to the trustee before

B. she was not familiar with the college yet

C. she could never find the way to her home

D. she had never traveled on a train before

【答案】B

【解析】细节理解题。作者在第二段第二句说到等她

less confused的时候，就会写一个详细的description，结合上

一句的主题，这里的description是指对大学的描述。问中还提

到作者一出门就迷路，可见，是因为初到学校，对学校不熟

悉，使作者感到confused，因此本题选B。

37. Jerusha thought that she couldn’t be very respectful to “Jo

hn Smith” because __________.

A. he was a total stranger to her

B. she was sure it was a false identity

C. the name was too common

D. nobody would like to be called that time

【答案】B

【解析】细节理解题。第五段第二句中的pick out 表明

Jerushar认为John Smith这个名字是收信人自己随便挑的，

也就是说，她认为这个名字是假的，因此本题应选B。第五段

中，关键词是pick out。

38. According to Jerusha, being rich may be __________.

A. tentative B. unimaginable

C. traditional D. rude

【答案】A

【解析】细节理解题。A.实验性的，暂停的，踌躇的；B.不可

思议的，难以想象的；C.传统的，惯例的；D.粗鲁的，狂暴

的。Jerusha讲了即使在华尔街的很多聪明人都会遇到破产

（get broke）,所以在她看来，富有不一定会是一辈子的事情，

可能会遇到变故而变得不富有，因此本题选A。其它三个选项

都不是Jerusha的想法。

39. The fact that her day is “divided into sections by bells” ma

kes Jerusha feel __________.

A. busy B. restricted by rules C. pressed for time

D. full of energy

【答案】D

【解析】细节理解题。倒数第二段中的“It's very lifeful.”表明

Jerusha认为听着铃声来安排生活使她觉得“充满活力”，由此可

见，本题选D。

40. Jerusha decided to call the trustee Dear Daddy-Long-

legs __________.

A. in order to show her respect for him

B. because it was one of his inner quality

C. in order to make them feel closer to each other

D. because she had always wanted a father

【答案】C

【解析】细节理解题。倒数第三段中的

“It’s just a private pet name”表明Jerusha认为Dear Daddy-

Long-legs这个名字表示一种“爱”，“爱称”只有关系亲密的人之

间使用，由此可见，Jerusha使用这个称呼是为了拉近距离，

因此，本题选C。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，

选出最佳选项。

【2013界广东省深圳市高三上期末考试】

A little girl in my family got a typewriter for Christmas. Not a la

ptop. Nothing with a screen. The old-fashioned manual kind.

Typewriters had pretty much gone the way of dodo birds quite

some years before my granddaughter was born. But it was th

e typewriter used by a journalist in the movie “Kit Kittredge: A

n American Girl” that attracted her.

Or maybe it was the way the typewriter was used. In the movi

e, Kit does old-

fashioned journalism and writes stories that help right a wrong

. In a challenging environment she keeps her wits — and a str

ong sense of ethics (道德) — about her.

However, another reporter, Chuck Tatum in “Ace in the Hole” i

s totally different. He tells an editor, “If there’s no news, I’ll go

out and bite a dog.” Later, referring to a sign in the newsroom

that reads “Tell the Truth,” Tatum acknowledges some guilt. B

ut, “Not enough to stop me on my way to the top.”

In both movies, the journalists use typewriters. It’s what they d

o with them that makes the difference. And today, it’s what we

do with our hardware — the journalism we produce — that m

akes the difference.

Typewriters have long since given way to laptops, camera ph

ones and video phones. But here at Thomson Reuters (路透

社), and in the media as a whole, the need for a strong sense

of ethics has never been more necessary.

To me, at the heart of ethics are the preservation (保

持) of honesty, independence and freedom from prejudice. It

means ethics and standards are compatible with innovation (

革

新). In fact, they have to go hand in hand. There’s a lot of roo

m for innovation here, but there’s no room for a Chuck Tatum,

who would do anything to get to the top.

In about 2020, my granddaughter will probably be using techn

ology that hasn’t been developed yet to work on her school “n

ewspaper”. She won’t be using her typewriter but she will, I ho

pe, be using what she’s learned from the journalists of this ge

neration. It’s up to us to set the right example.

41. What does Chuck Tatum mean by saying “bite a dog”?

A. He tries all sorts of tricks to achieve his goal.
