1、考前3个月英语考前题组集训1Test 1.阅读理解AIf you were walking around a supermarket and saw a woman with a shaved head，a ring through her nose，a tattoo(纹身)design on her arm and she had a small child in her shopping trolley，what would your opinion be？Do you think this kind of body decoration is attractive or ugly？Dif
2、ferent people have different ideas.The following are some examples of body decoration from around the world.In many parts of Africa，it is thought that an attractive girl should have really shinny skin.On Bali，a little island in Indonesia，they believe that a beautiful woman or handsome man must have
3、perfectly straight，flat teeth.The Balinese believe that teeth with pointed edges make you look like an ugly wild animal.So when a girl or boy becomes a teenager，he or she is taken to a special person in their village who will file off teeth points to make them smooth and flat.There is no anesthetic(
4、麻药)and this tooth filing is really painful.It is a kind of test.If you can stand it without screaming or crying too much，then you are thought ready to become an adult.In Myanmar，there is a small group of people who are called the “Papaung”They believe that a woman can only be really beautiful if she
5、 has a long neck.I mean a VERY long neck.Now you might think that you are either born with a long or short neck and that theres nothing whatever you can do about it.But you would be wrong！At around the age of 5，a Papaung girl has heavy metal rings fitted around her neck，tightly between the chin and
6、shoulders.Each year more rings are added and very，very slowly their weight pushes the shoulders down，in this way making the neck look longer.A Papaung woman will wear her neck rings all her life，never once taking them off.So now Im sure you will all agree that different people have different ideas a
7、bout what is beautiful.1What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 1?AWomens design.BBeautiful body decoration.CBody decoration.DAttractive decoration.答案C解析段落大意题。第一段讲的是如果你在超市里见到一个剃光头，戴鼻环，胳膊上有纹身并且在购物车里推着一个小孩的女人，你会有什么看法。你认为这样的装饰是有魅力的还是丑陋的？由此可见答案选C。2What does the underlined word “trolley” mean?Aschoolbag
8、 BluggageCbasket Dshopping cart答案D解析词义猜测题。由在超市里和 “.she had a small child.”可以推断出，孩子是在购物车里。3Which of the following is NOT true?AMany people think that a woman with a ring through nose is neither attractive nor ugly.BMost African people think that a girl with shinny skin is beautiful.CIt is thought tha
9、t a beautiful woman should have straight，flat teeth on Bali.DSome people think it beautiful that a woman has a long neck in Myanmar.答案A解析细节理解题。本文并没有讲到人们对于戴鼻环的女人有什么看法，只是举这个例子来说不同的人有不同的观点。所以A项不正确。4What is the best title of the passage?ADifferent Ideas about BeautifulBBody DecorationCWho Is a Beautiful

12、ldnt want to.Im not sure where Ill be living in two years，or what kind of job Ill have.And I dont think Ill be ready to settle down and stay in one place.So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents.When our parents were our age，theyd gotten their education，
13、chosen a career，and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives.My friends and I “Generation Y” still arent sure what we want to do with our lives.Whatever we end up doing，we want to make sure were happy doing it.Wed rather take risks first，try out different jobs，and move from one city to a
14、nother until we find our favorite place.Wed rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account.This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation “arrogant”，“impatient”，and “overprotected”Some of these complaints have a point.As children we were e

130、ogram benefit the kids in the village?AIt trains teachers for them.BIt contributes to their selfstudy.CIt helps raise their living standards.DIt provides funds for building schools.答案B解析细节理解题。第二段第一句“The key to their success.”提到了成功的关键是这些平板电脑，再根据第三段第一句“The goal is to find out whether kids using todays
131、 new technology can teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist.”可知，该项目能够促进孩子们的自学能力，而文中未提到A项“它为他们培训老师”，C项“它帮助提高他们的生活水平”和D项“它募集建校资金”，故选B项。6What can we infer from Kellers words in Paragraph 3?AThey need more time to analyze data.BMore children are needed for the research.CHe
132、is confident about the future of the project.DThe research should be carried out in kindergartens.答案C解析推理判断题。根据Keller所说的内容“我认为已经发生的事情是，这些孩子们已经学到了超过他们在幼儿园一年的时间里能够学到的东西”，可推断出Keller对于所开展的这个研究项目取得的效果表示肯定，也就是对该项目未来的推广是充满信心的，因此C项是正确的。他说的话中未提及A项中的关于分析数据的问题。B项和D项都是对Keller所说的话的曲解。7It amazed Keller that with

135、iopians in learning their first language.答案C解析推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句话“The project aims to get kids to a stage called deep reading， where they can read to learn.”可知C项正确。根据最后一段中的“.which is widely seen as the ticket to higher paying jobs.”可知学好英语被人们视为能够帮助找到更高薪水的工作的关键，故可排除A项；B项(使埃塞俄比亚的母语Amharic在世界上被广泛地使用)在文中未提及
136、；根据最后一段的“It wont be in Amharic，Ethiopias first language，but in English.(不是用埃塞俄比亚的母语Amharic，而是用英语)”可排除D项。.阅读填空Never Too Late to Change Your LifeIt isnt too late for you to improve something，your life that you really want to change.No matter what age you are at. 1 Start there.Four steps will make it e
