【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 job and what motivates him.

The interviewer asked Shami if he has any hesitation about spying on other people. “No, not at all,” replied Shami. “I know why I'm doing it . I'm trying to prebent something major occurring which could lead to loss of life . That's my biggest motivation.”

Asked how he felt when he was doing a spying activity, Shami replied,” Excited. You feel a lot of pressure, but you understand the task in hand and how serious it is. You are thinking about potential dangers which might be a threat to yourself.” Shami 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 working at MI5's London headquarters. Spies like him are out on the ground while the others' job is to analyze intelligence from a variety of different sources. He pointed out that vital pieces come from human sources of agents from within suspected terrorist organizations—a standard plotline in Hollywood movies, but he thought 007 was 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.” 1. Motivates Shami to carry out his job. A. To spy on people B. To prevent loss of life

C. To analyze important information D. To get excitement from danger

2. It can be learned from the passage that A. Shami once missed some important information B. Shami is rarely stressed out when dong a task C. The film 007 was a reflection of Shami's real life D. MI5 is a legal organization

3. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means

1

A. Shami never felt lonely because he could see films B. Shami was not the leading actor in the film C. Shami worked on a team rather than single-handedly D. Shami needed the help of a wolf for his job 4. What can be the best title for the text? A. 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。

1. 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 motivation.”可知B项正确。 2. 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

3. 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。

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

Here I am! I traveled yesterday for four hours in a train. It’s a funny feeling, isn’t it?

I never rode in one before.

College is the biggest, most puzzling place — I get lost whenever 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 Saturday night. But I wanted to write a

3

letter first just to get acquainted.

It seems strange to be writing letters to somebody you don't know. 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 overlook it if these are not a model kind.

Before leaving yesterday morning, Mrs. Lippett and I had a very serious talk. She told me

how to behave all the rest of my life, and especially how to behave towards the kind gentleman who is doing so much for me. I must take care to be very respectful.

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 name with a little personality? I might as well write letters to Dear Flagpole or Dear Clothes-line.

I have been thinking about you a great deal this summer; having somebody take an interest

in me after all these years makes 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 comfortable feeling. I must say, however, that when I think about you, my imagination has very little to work upon. There are just three things that I know: I, You are tall. Ⅱ. You are rich. Ⅲ. You hate 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 important thing about you. Besides, being rich is such a very external quality. Maybe you won’t stay rich all your life; lots of very clever men get broke in Wall Street. But at least you will stay 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 won’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.

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 __________.

Observe how precisely I obey rules — due to my training in the John Grier Home.

A. she had never written to the trustee before

4

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 “John 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” makes 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

5

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 laptop. 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 the typewriter used by a journalist in the movie “Kit Kittredge: An American Girl” that attracted her.

Or maybe it was the way the typewriter was used. In the movie, Kit does old-fashioned journalism and writes stories that help right a wrong. In a challenging environment she keeps her wits — and a strong sense of ethics (道德) — about her.

However, another reporter, Chuck Tatum in “Ace in the Hole” is 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. But, “Not enough to stop me on my way to the top.”

In both movies, the journalists use typewriters. It’s what they do with them that makes the difference. And today, it’s what we do with our hardware — the journalism we produce — that makes the difference.

Typewriters have long since given way to laptops, camera phones 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 room 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 technology that hasn’t been developed yet to work on her school “newspaper”. She won’t be using her typewriter but she will, I hope, be using what she’s learned from the journalists of this generation. 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. B. He acknowledges his guilt of telling lies. C. He attracts people’s attention in the street.

6

D. He becomes mad because there’s no news. 【答案】A

【解析】细节理解题。由“Not enough to stop me on my way to the top.”可知Chuck Tatum会尝试各种手段去达到自己的目标。

42. According to the author, really good journalists are those who __________. A. are crazy about the work like Chuck Tatum

B. can take whatever means to attract the public C. are honest, independent and free from prejudice D. were living in the time when typewriters were used. 【答案】C

【解析】细节理解题。前面通过比较Kit Kittredge和Chuck Tatum，可以看出一个真正的记者需要有强烈的道德观，结合倒数第二段“at the heart of ethics are the preservation (保持) of honesty, independence and freedom from prejudice.”可知真正的好记者是诚实，独立并且没有偏见的。故选C。 43. The passage may imply that __________. A. Dodo birds are still living on the earth.

B. Thomson Reuters will not employ a journalist like Chuck Tatum C. Typewriters are more popular to the journalists than laptops

D. what matters is that journalists should use their new-fashioned hardware 【答案】B

【解析】细节理解题。由“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.”以及前面对Chuck Tatum不择手段获取目标的描述，可知路透社不会雇佣像Chuck Tatum一样的记者。故本题选B。 44. The purpose of the passage is __________. A. to advocate the sense of ethics in journalism B. to criticize the lack of ethics among journalists C. to ask adults to set a good example for the young D. to encourage more people to work on newspapers 【答案】A

【解析】细节理解题。由“It means ethics and standards are compatible with innovation (革新).”和“I hope, be using what she’s learned from the journalists of this generation.”可知本文的目的是提倡新闻界的道德观。故选A。

45. Who are the intended readers of the passage? A. People in general.

B. Fans of American films.

C. Children like his granddaughter. D. The journalists of this generation. 【答案】D

7

【解析】推理判断题。本文通过打字机引出两位不同新闻工作者的对比，说明道德观的重要性。所以它的目标读者应该是这一代的新闻工作者。
