2024高考英語閱讀理解解析版匯編（120）

　　閱讀理解These are some ideas that some people came up with about what the life will be like in the year 2500：

　　We will have established a base on the moon.School kids can take field trips to the moon weekly.We will have found cures(療法)for AIDS and cancer.The war will have ended and peace flows freely through the land.Kids will learn more and be smarter than ever before! History will be the main subject at school.Cafeteria(自助餐廳)food will be delicious! You just walk up to a machine，stick out your tongue，and it will scan your taste buds(味蕾)to see what you want to eat.

　　—Kristen

　　Here I am in the wonderful year of 2500 and life is so easy.I work in a pet store and it is so hard! I have to wake up at midnight every day and fly my ear to the store.It takes so long to get there.It takes me 20 seconds to get to the store in Mississippi from my home in Florida! At work，I have to push 5 buttons and then I go home.It takes 2 seconds and that is like forever.

　　—Morgan

　　In the year 2500，I think we will have invented cars that run on things we don't need like garbage.Tail gas will smell like whatever you like such as chocolate.I also predict that buildings will be able to go into a different dimension(維)so your car won't hit them.The cars in 2500 don't fly，for we haven't got that technology yet，but they can hover(盤旋)up to seven feet.These cars are made for speed!

　　——Carly

　　Instead of cars，we may have hovering devices that float around.We could also have electric cars instead of gas powered cars.Food might be more healthy.What I believe is that

　　the

　　environment

　　will

　　change

　　the

　　most. The environmental changes will

　　also determine many other changes.If more people try to help the environment，then perhaps in 2500 we will have more forests and wildlife.If people won't help the environment，then we will have no forests and little wildlife left—Roberta

　　1．According to Kristen，what will happen in 2500?

　　A．English will be the main subject at school.

　　B．Students can go to the moon every week.

　　C．Cafeteria will replace other restaurants.

　　D．AIDS and cancer will disappear.

　　答案：B　細節理解題。根據文章中Kristen所說的話School kids can take field trips to the moon weekly.可知，B為正確選項。

　　2．The underlined word“scan”in the text could be replaced by“________”

　　A．change

　　B．treat

　　C．examine

　　D．improve

　　答案：C　猜測詞義題。根據畫線單詞所在的句子中的“你只需要走到一臺機器跟前，伸出你的舌頭，然后機器就會判斷出你想吃什么”可以推斷出，機器通過仔細查看你的味蕾才能判斷出你想吃什么。

　　3．Morgan thinks his work in the pet store is________.

　　A．difficult

　　B．meaningless

　　C．important

　　D．easy

　　答案：D　推理判斷題。文章中Morgan對他工作的具體描述使用的是反語，他真實的意思是“這份工作太輕松了”。他的第一句話也是對該意思的提示，故選D項。

　　4．Who mainly tells the reader of the cars in 2500? A．Kristen.

　　B．Morgan.

　　C．Carly.

　　D．Roberta.

　　答案：C　段落大意題。根據文章中Carly所說的那段話可知，他主要談到的是2500年的汽車，包括汽車的燃料、廢氣及功能等，故選C項。Tang poetry is so excellent and of such a large sum that it is a precious cultural heritage of Chinese civilization in ancient time.It appeals so many people all over the world that more and more Tang poems have been translated into other languages，mostly into English.Nevertheless，since the translatability of poetry has been the most controversial(引起爭論的)issue in the translation circle，whether a Tang poem is translatable or not is now still in debate.

　　An American poet Robert Frost ever said，“Poetry is what gets lost in translation.”In this sense，something in Tang poetry will get lost after being translated into English.Here comes the untranslatability(不可翻譯)of Tang poems in English translation.Tang poetry is the harmonious unity of beautiful sound，well-balanced form and implicit sense so that it is very difficult to translate them into other languages satisfactorily.English is intonation(語調)language while Chinese is tone language so that they are dissimilar in sound；English spelling words are alphabetic writing while Chinese square characters are ideographic(表意文字)so that they are dissimilar in form；English was born and develops in western cultural background while Chinese in oriental so that they are dissimilar in sense.Based on the differences above，a conclusion is made naturally in the article that in the process of translating Tang poems into English，there is some untranslatability，namely，sound untranslatability，form untranslatability and sense untranslatability.In fact，the study on the untranslatability of Tang poetry still has a great room for development，as it remains an unsolved problem.In this case，however，talking about the untranslatability of Tang poems in English translation is not against the translation work of Tang poems but for the better translations of them.

　　1．By the passage we can know that________.

　　A．Tang poetry is a kind of new culture existing in China

　　B. Tang poetry is part of precious cultural heritage of Chinese civilization

　　C．Tang poetry can't be translated into English

　　D．Tang poetry can only be accepted by people from China

　　答案：B　根據文章第一段第一句話．..it is a precious cultural heritage of Chinese civilization in ancient time可知，唐詩是中國古代文明的珍貴的文化遺產，是中華文化的組成部分。

　?。甌he features of Tang poetry different from other languages are the following EXCEPT________.

　　A．beautiful sound

　　B．rich words

　　C．abundant form

　　D．extensive sense

　　答案：B　根據文章第二段內容中所提到的與英語不同的特點有sound，form和sense，文章中沒有提到word。故答案選B項。

　?。瓹hinese is tone language while English is________.

　　A．intonation languageB．tone language

　　C．alphabetic writingD．ideographic language

　　答案：A　根據文章第二段第五句話English is intonation language while Chinese is tone language可知，漢語是語音文字而英語則是語調文字。故答案選A項。

　?。甌he attitude towards translating Tang poetry into other languages is________.

　　A．appositive

　　B．favorable

　　C．ironic

　　D．passive

　　答案：B　根據文章最后一句話talking about the untranslatability of Tang poems in English translation is not against the translation work of Tang poems but for the better translations of them.可知，作者的態度是贊成的。

　　閱讀理解When he thought of the past，my grandfather would sometimes show us photographs of himself at school.They were brown and faded，and it was hard to believe that the blurred figure of the little boy in the short trousers and socks could ever have been Grandfather.Besides，he wore a cap—and the boys in the photographs wore caps pulled so far forward that half of their faces were obscured.When Grandfather asked us to pick him out from the group，we would surely point to the wrong boy.

　　On one such occasion my younger sister，aged six，burst into tears when Grandfather proudly guided her finger to the right boy.“How could that boy be you？”she cried.“He should have a heard.”We were，of course，all convinced that grandfathers should have

　　beards，preferably

　　white

　　and

　　bushy，like

　　our

　　own grandfather's.

　　“I was a good scholar，”Grandfather would say，wagging his beard over the photographs.“I should have been top of the class if I hadn't had to get up at six every morning to milk the cows and chop the wood，and again when I came home from school.”

　　“But Saturdays? What did you do on Saturdays？”

　　“Saturdays，if it was fine，I'd be out all day in the fields with the men，”replied Grandfather. “And if it was wet，I'd be helping my mother with odd jobs round the house.There wasn't much time for studying.”

　　We all tried hard to imagine what it would have been like to have been Grandfather getting up at crack of dawn and never，obviously，having a moment for himself.It seemed we had learnt something from what Grandfather had said about his childhood.

　　1．In the first paragraph of this passage，what the author really tells us is that________.

　　A. his grandfather used to wear short trousers，socks and a cap as well

　　B．it was difficult to tell which of the boys in the photographs was Grandfather

　　C．he didn't believe Grandfather wore a cap pulled forward when he was at school

　　D．it was fun to watch boys in the photographs wearing caps pulled forward

　　答案：B　細節判斷題，可用直接就題找題法來解。第一段最后一句：When Grandfather asked us to pick him out from the group，we would surely point to the wrong boy.此句表明答案為B。

　　2．The author's sister burst into tears because________.

　　A. she did not get a chance to pick out Grandfather in the photographs

　　B．she was told which was the right boy before she herself could pick him out

　　C．other children did not agree with her that Grandfather should have had a beard

　　D．she found Grandfather in the photographs did not have a beard答案：D　細節判斷題，可用直接就題找題法來解。由短文第二段第二句：“How could that boy be you？”she cried.“He should have a beard.”可以推斷，小女孩接受不了爺爺沒有胡子的事實。

　　3．When Grandfather said，“I should have been top of the class...”，be meant________.

　　A. if he had had more time for studying，he would have been the best in his class

　　B．he should have spent more time studying rather than playing ball games

　　C．his school days should not have been so hard and miserable

　　D．he could have never been the best student even if he had studied still harder

　　答案：A　推理判斷題，可用邏輯推斷法來解。該句為虛擬語氣，表明如果他不需要每天起早干活，他的成績一定會是班上最好的。

　　4．In the last paragraph the author said，“We all tried hard to imagine...”because________.

　　A. the figures of the boys in the photographs were small and blurred

　　B．the children had never experienced life like that of Grandfather

　　C．the photographs Grandfather showed them were brown and faded

　　D．Grandfather failed to tell them about his childhood in detail

　　答案：B　推理判斷題，可用邏輯推斷法來解。認真分析思考可以發現，作者身處現在較優越的生活環境中真難以想象爺爺當初會那么辛苦。

　　閱讀理解

　　Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.

　　Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因構成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.

　　Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.

　　Exploration also allows minerals and other potential(潛在的) resources to be found.Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin－offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even nonstick pans and mirrored sunglasses are byproducts(副產品) of technological developments in the space industry!

　　While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.

　　While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.

　　1．Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?

　　A．To express his doubts.

　　B．To compare different ideas.

　　C．To introduce points for discussion.

　　D．To describe the conditions on Earth.

　　2．What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2?

　　A．Humans are nature－born to do so.

　　B．Humans have the tendency to fight.

　　C．Humans may find new sources of food.

　　D．Humans don’t like to stay in the same place.

　　3．The underlined word “spin－offs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ________.

　　A．survival chances

　　B．potential resources

　　C．unexpected benefits

　　D．physical

　　possessions

　　4．What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?A．Our genetic makeup.

　　B．Resources on the earth.

　　C．The adaptive ability of humans.

　　D．Byproducts in space exploration.

　　閱讀理解Canadian women have a long tradition of contributing to the arts as writers，visual artists and musicians.By the 20th century careers in many fields were opening up to more women，and writers and artists such as Gabrielle Roy are part of an important tradition in Canadian life.

　　Gabrielle Roy's

　　early

　　determination

　　to become a writer led to a great success and a very long list of books to her reputation.Gabrielle had to work hard at school.The money she won for her final examination results paid for her first year at the Winnipeg Normal Institute.In 1929，when her father died，she began to teach school and continued to teach and to contribute her wages to her family until 1937.

　　While living in Paris and London，Gabrielle Roy began her career as a writer.In 1943 she wrote a series of articles on the poor in Montreal which formed the basis for her first novel，The Tin Flute ，published in 1945.

　　The publication of The Tin Flute established Roy's credit as a novelist and provided her with greater financial security than she had ever known.

　　Over the next 20 years she published one book after another.She won the Governor General's Award in 1955 for Street of Riches.Roy also wrote two volumes of stories for children，Ma Vache Bossie published in 1976，and Courts Queue in 1979.Between these years，she published her
