1、2013高考英语二轮阅读理解高效训练（4）及答案（A）Mark Twain was my hero when I was nine because that was when I discovered Tom Sawyer. But even at the height of my admiration, I couldnt agree with him that Anne, the main character in Anne of Green Gables, was “the dearest and most lovable child in fiction since the best-
2、known Alice”. I had read Anne of Green Gables as well as Tom Sawyer, and she had made me as sick as a dog. Another Mark Twains quote will explain my problem. He said, “When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant (无知的) that I could hardly stand having the old man around. But when I got to be 21
3、, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years. ” I gradually understood his words as growing up. When I picked up the book again a few years later, I was too astonished at how much it had improvedand shortly afterwards shocked by the fact that not only could I be a fool in al
4、l sporting, artistic and practical matters, I could also be so when it came to reading, too. On rereading, then, I learned that Anne is indeed the dearest and most lovable child. I couldnt help adoring the girl who insists that her name be spelled with the “e” instead of Ann as she believes that is
5、“so much more distinguished. ” She is a brave and determined survivor of a severe upbringing who has refused to let her circumstances crush her spirit. She arrives at Marilla and Matthew Cuthberts farm with everything unfavorableorphaned, unwanted and her biggest trouble of red-hair and freckled (有雀
6、斑的) face. However, she gets along well, through her strange way of seeing things, through her honest love of beauty and lovable attempts to master her unreasonable desires. She finally wins over the Cuthberts, her neighbors and millions of readers who have met her over the 101 years since the book w
7、as first published. When I settle down with it these days, Ive come to see the truth in Mark Twains praise for the book, and this reminds me of the great truth that you are never too young to start rereading. 16. According to Paragraph 1, we can know the writer _. A. believed Anne to be lovableB. ad
8、mired Mark Twain because of AnneC. regarded Tom Sawyer as the dearest childD. disagreed with Mark Twains opinion on Anne17. By referring to Mark Twains remark on his father, the writer wants to prove that _. A. peoples attitude may changeB. learning can change a personC. the relationships between pe
9、ople can improveD. young people never make correct judgment18. The reason why the writer admires Anne now is that _. A. she is an ambitious girlB. she is welcomed by the readersC. she adapts to her environment wellD. she changes her name to make it easy to remember19. The writers purpose of writing
10、the passage is to _. A. recommend Anne of Green GablesB. express admiration towards Mark TwainC. prove that peoples first impression can not be rightD. encourage us to reread the books that we may not like at first【文章大意】作者崇拜马克吐温，但小时候的作者有一点却和马克吐温的观点冲突，他对于Anne of Green Gables中的女主角Anne评价不高。等长大成人后，作者重新读
11、Anne of Green Gables这本书，却有了不同的感受，对于Anne的态度有了很大转变，从而得出“读书再晚也不迟”的结论。16.【解析】选D。A选项是马克吐温的看法而不是作者的看法; B选项认为作者崇拜马克吐温是因为Anne这个小说人物，通过“Mark Twain was my hero when I was nine because that was when I discovered Tom Sawyer. ”可以知道作者崇拜他是因为读了Tom Sawyer这本书；C选项中关于Tom Sawyer的看法在第一段没有体现；细读第一段可以知道马克吐温赞赏Anne而作者却讨厌Anne，
12、与D选项符合。17.【解析】选A。通过相关语段“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant that I could hardly stand having the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years. ”可知，马克吐温14岁时认为自己的父亲无知而难以忍受，等自己到了21岁时则开始赞叹自己的父亲在七年时间内取得的巨大进步，态度转变很大。因而这一部分想要告诉我们
13、“人的态度是可以改变的”，A选项符合；B选项“学习可以改变一个人”偏离大义；C选项片面；D选项过于肯定且背离原文。故选A。18.【解析】选C。第三段讲述了Anne of Green Gables的主角Anne的经历，尽管Anne被人抛弃，不受欢迎而且还长着红头发和一脸的雀斑，但她没有被客观环境击垮，而是凭借一颗热爱大自然、乐于尝试的心受到了邻居和读者们的欢迎，因而作者赞赏Anne就是因为她能够适应自己所处的环境，与C选项相符。19.【解析】选D。通过总结文章大意可知，作者儿时不喜欢Anne of Green Gables中的Anne，而等到长大了再读这本书却对Anne大加赞赏。这说明重读一本书
14、，即使这本书自己原来并不喜欢，再读过之后也许会有截然不同的感受，所以作者鼓励我们要试着重读一遍自己从前并不一定喜欢的书，与D选项符合。*结束（B）Studies show that 20 minutes of sleep in the afternoon provides more rest than 20 minutes more sleep in the morning. The body seems to be designed for this, as most peoples bodies naturally become more tired in the afternoon, a
15、bout 8 hours after we wake up. When you sleep you pass through different stages of sleep, known together as a sleep cycle. These stages include light sleep, deep sleep (which is believed to be the stage in which the body repairs itself), and rapid-eye movement sleep, or REM sleep (during which the m
16、ind is repaired). Many experts advise to keep the nap between 15 and 30 minutes, as sleeping longer gets you into deeper stages of sleep, from which its more difficult to awaken. Also, longer naps can make it more difficult to fall asleep at night, especially if your sleep deficit (赤字) is relatively
17、 small. However, research has shown that a 1-hour nap has more restorative effects than a 30-minute nap, including a much greater improvement in cognitive（认知的）function. The key to taking a longer nap is to get a sense of how long your sleep cycles are, and try to awaken at the end of a sleep cycle.
18、As there are pros and cons to each length of sleep, you may want to let your schedule decide: if you only have 15 minutes to spare, take them! But if you could work in an hour nap, you may do well to complete a whole sleep cycle, even if it means less sleep at night. If you only have 5 minutes to sp
19、are, just close your eyes; even a brief rest has the benefit of reducing stress and helping you relax a little, which can give you more energy to complete the tasks of your day. 20. If you get up at 6: 30 am, what is the best time for you to take a nap? A. About 12: 30 pm. B. About 1: 30 pm. C. Abou
20、t 2: 30 pm. D. About 3: 30 pm. 21. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. How long we should nap should depend on our schedule. B. A longer nap has more advantages than a shorter one. C. Not all the naps can reduce stress. D. We should take a two-hour nap every day. 22. Which is
21、 mainly discussed in the last two paragraphs? A. When should we take a nap? B. How long should we nap? C. How many benefits does a nap have? D. What is a sleep cycle? 答案解析【文章大意】本文介绍了小睡有很多好处。20.【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据文章第一段“about 8 hours after we wake up”可知人们起床八个小时后会感到疲倦。21.【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“let your sc
22、hedule decide”可知A项正确，即到底我们的小睡时间多长要取决于我们的日程安排。文章没有讲小睡时间长比时间短有更多的好处，所以B项不正确；根据最后一段中的“even a brief rest has the benefit of reducing stress”可知即使简短的休息也对减轻紧张感有好处，所以C项不正确；D项文中没有说明，大多数专家建议小睡时间为15至30分钟。故选A。22.【解析】选B。主旨大意题。最后两段先从专家的角度说明小睡时间应该是多少，后来又根据个人的实际情况提出应根据自己的日程安排来决定时间长短，最后还说明即使简短的休息也对减轻紧张感有好处。这一切都是围绕我们
23、小睡时间应多久为宜展开的。*结束 第*套第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AThe Basics of MathMade ClearBasic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas.
