2016年湖北学位英语考试阅读强化试题及答案一
Passage l参考答案及解析
1.【解析】B。细节题。段第三句说“They give US valuable practice in making eyes,brain and muscles work together.”(体育运动为我们的眼睛、大脑和肌肉一起运动提供了宝贵的练习机会。)为了说明这一点,作者在下文以网球为例来解释,可见只有B合题意。
2.【解析】C。语义题。“complicated chain of events”实际上指的是“In tennis,our eyes see the ball coming,judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain.The brain then has to decide what to d0,and to send its orders to the muscles of the arms,legs,and so on,so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go.”据此判断,A和B都只是其中的一部分,不全面;D则根本未提及,因此C正确。
3.【解析】B。逻辑推理题。文章第二段主要讨论体育运动有助于培养学生们的良好品德,因此我们可以推知作者用character.training(性格、品德的培养)一词是告诉读者“体育竞赛能使学生们明白将来如何步人社会”。
4.【解析】A。细节题。根据“So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up.”可知,只有A正确。强调句型常作为考点。
5.【解析】B。逻辑推理题。根据文章后一句“If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field,he will later find it natural tO work for the good of his cbuntry instead of only for his own benefit.”可知8为正确答案。团队协作对一个足球队来说是重要的。
Passage 2参考答案及解析
1.【解析】B。词汇猜测题。原文中Thomas Jefferson的话,“‘in Europe”’,said Thomas Jefferson,‘the object is to make the most of their land,labor being sufficient;here it is to make the most of our labor,land being abundant.”’该句用了两个不同的词来修饰目的,可见应该是两个不同的地方。前面提到了Europe,后面应该是欧洲以外的地方。下文马上又提到了“it was in America,”所以答案为B。
2.【解析】C。细节题。本题可以采用排除法。首先B和D比较容易定位,阅读原文后,可以肯定这两个选项是正确的。接下来要排除A和C中的一个。根据“IAlbor—saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor Was scarce…It was in America,therefore that the great advance in nineteenthcentury agricultural machinery first came.”可知A正确。因此答案为C。
3.【解析】B。主旨题。文章的中心意思是“节省劳力的机器发明”。
4.【解析】D。文章中有这样的句子:“At the opening of the century,with the exception of a crude plow,farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural tools on their backs.(在本世纪初,除了一个粗糙的耕犁之外,农民可以把其余所有的农具放在背上。)”说明当时的农具很少。
5.【解析】A。推断题。文章暗含的意思是“美国缺少劳动力”。
Passage 3参考答案及解析
1.【解析】C。本题为细节题。答案在文章的第三段句话:“the first and most basic level of needs involves food.Once this level is satisfied,the second level of needs,clothing and some sort of shelter,appears.(人的基本需求是食物,一旦得到满足,人的第二需求衣服和住房就出现了。)”
2.【解析】D。本题为推断题。文章的第三段提到,人们的基本要求是食物,一旦得到满足,人的第二需求衣服和住房就出现了。到第二次世界大战结束时,大多数美国人基本达到了这样的水平。紧接着出现了第三需求,包括汽车和新房子,因此可以断定第二次世界大战结束时美国人还没有汽车。
3.【解析】A。本题为词汇题。physical satisfaction身体的满足,和successful career没有关系。
4.【解析】B。本题为推断题。答案在第四段“this level stresses mental needs for recognition,achievement,and happiness”因此此阶段人们关心的应当是精神的满足。
5.【解析】C。本题为推断题。答案在后一段,“after filling our stomachs,our clothes,our garages,our teeth,and our minds,we now may seek to ensure the heahh,safety,and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.”因此可以断定此阶段是后一个而且是令人满意的阶段。
Passage 4参考答案及解析
1.【解析】C。本题为细节题。由本文中的段“By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving…how much he knows what to do to do.”可知答案C是正确的。
2.【解析】C。本题为细节题。由本文中的第二段的、二句的内容,可知答案C是对的。
3.【解析】B。本题为细节题。由本文中的第二段的第四句“And,if he can’t make things work out right,he doesn’t feel ashamed that he failed;he just tries to learn from his mistakes.”可知答案B是对的。learn from his mistakes等于learn from his experiences.
4.【解析】A。本题为细节题。由本文中的第三段的第二句“They are actually two different kinds of people,not just the sanle kind with different amount of intelligence.”可知答案A是对的。two different kinds of people等于two different types of children.
5.【解析】D。本题为推理题。由本文中的第三段已提出了两种不同类型的人,聪明的人已在上一段阐述过,按推断应对另外一类人进行分析,故答案D是对的。
