A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man — the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or instry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.
This attitude toward manual(體力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪華地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college ecation for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or ring the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his ecation.
1. From paragraph 1, we can know that in America _________.
A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made man
B. people can always rise to the top through their won efforts
C. college professors win great respect from common workers
C. people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors.
2. According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _________.
A. servants in American are hard to get B. she takes pride in what she can do herself
C. she can hardly afford servants D. It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food
3. The expression 「 wait on table」 in the second paragraph means 「_________」.
A. work in a furniture shop B. keep accounts for a bar
C. wait to lay the table D. serve customers in a restaurant
4. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?
A. A Respectable Self-made Family B. American Attitude toward Manual Labor
C. Characteristics of American Culture D. The Development of Manual Labor
【答案解析】本文介紹了崇尚自我奮斗，尊重體力勞動的美國文化。
1. A。細節題。 根據 A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made made 我們可以了解到，「崇尚自我奮斗」是美國文化的特點。
2. B。推斷題。根據This attitude toward manual(體力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life.(在美國生活的方方面面，尊重體力勞動態度的現象仍然隨處可見)，可以推斷女主人親自下廚，是因為她以能做這樣的體力活而自豪。
3. D。詞義猜測題。wait on table 意為「服務顧客」，注意其後的 washing dishes 也有一定的暗示意義，故答案為 D。
4. B。主旨題。縱觀全文，文章主要講了美國崇尚自我奮斗，尊重體力勞動的文化習慣。故答案為B。

A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can proce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.
A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises(出現) from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.
There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar(奇怪的) that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.
No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.
1. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is _______.
A. repeated without any change B. treated as a joke
C. made some changes by the parent D. set in the present
2. According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is _______.
A. in a realistic setting B. heard for the first time
C. repeated too often D. told in a different way
3. The advantage claimed(提出) for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it _______.
A. makes them less fearful
B. develops their power of memory
C. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of
D. encourages them not to have strange beliefs
4. The author』s mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that _______.
A. fairy stories are still being made up
B. there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales
C. people try to modernize old fairy stories
D. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays
5. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _______.
A. they are full of imagination
B. they just make up the stories which are far from the truth
C. they are not interesting
D. they make teachers of history difficult to teach

【答案解析】本文為論說文，作者駁斥了對神話故事的種種指責和誤解。
1. C。細節題。根據 It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can proce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better. 可推知此題答案為C。
2. B。細節題。根據 this arises(出現) from the child having heard the story once. 可推知此題答案為B。
3. A。細節題。根據Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.可以得出此答案。
4. B。推斷題。有些人認為神話不現實，都是教孩子一些不存在的東西，會對孩子有不好的影響。作者用虛擬語氣作了一個假設，如果這些觀點站得住腳的話，可能會出現這樣的情況：the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend. 可見持這種觀點的人實際上是對神話的一種誤解。
5. B。推斷題。根據 …not objectively true, do not exist可知有些人不贊成神話故事的原因是這些故事是編出來的，遠離現實。故選B。

The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare』s time is estimated(估計) to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.
In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足夠的) working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.
The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being proced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, instry, law and ecation as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.
1. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. The Difficulties of Learning English B. International Communications
C. The Standard Varieties of English D. English as a World Language
2. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Some 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of English.
B. There are some 260 million native speakers of English in the world.
C. It is almost impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate working knowledge of English.
D. People learn English for a variety of reasons.
3. According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?
A. It was popular ring Shakespeare』s time.
B. It is used in former British colonies.
C. It serves the needs of its native speakers.
D. It is a world language that is used for international communication.
4. What forms an adequate working knowledge of English?
A. The ability to read a newspaper. B. It is difficult to judge because it differs for each situation.
C. Being a multilingual. D. Being a native speaker.
5. What type of developing countries would be most likely to use English?
A. Those geographically close to the United States.
B. Those interested in the culture of the United States.
C. Former colonies of Great Britain.
D. Countries where international conferences are held.

「If there is one thing I』m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives — the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It』s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do — as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It』s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(傳送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I』m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read — sports and international news, etc.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒體). They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn』t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it』s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.
1. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Best Way to Get News B. The Changes of Media
C. Make Your Own Newspaper D. The Future of Newspaper
2. In the writer』s opinion, in the future, _______.
A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news
B. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer
C. newspapers will cover more scientific research
D. more and more people will watch TV
3. What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?
A. Sports and international news. B. A menu of important news.
C. The most important news. D. What you are interested in.
4. From the passage, we can infer _______.
A. newspapers will win the competition among the different media
B. newspapers will stay with us together with other media
C. television will take the place of newspaper
D. the writer believe some media will die out
5. The phrase 「feed off」 in the last paragraph means _______.
A. depend on B. compete with C. fight with D. kill off

【答案與解析】本文提出報紙這一新聞媒體在近百年內不會消失的觀點並分析了其原因。
1. D。主旨題。從文章第1句：一百年後人們仍要讀報，到後面文章講到報紙跟人們生活的關系，報紙的形式和內容，可歸納出此題的答案為D。
2. C。細節題。根據文章第2段I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though.可推知此題答案為C。
3. D。推斷題。從文章第3段最後一句You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read… 可推知此題答案為D。
4. B。細節題。根據文章第1段第3句Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday可推知此題答案為B。
5. A。詞義猜測題。作者上一句說人們錯誤地認為各各種不同的媒體相互競爭，而下一句作者又說 They actually feed off each other(注意句中 actually 一詞)，再結合所給的四個選項，可知選A為合適。

⑷ 英語閱讀題 最後一題是選a嗎

推測為C，A絕對不可能，因為春節不會有野獸或怪物出現，那是神話，這個是常識！專B貓和老鼠開始屬戰爭也是不可能的！

根據前面的幾個問題考慮這篇文章是有關春節的。另外每題只有3個選項，那就是初中以下的試卷，所以不會出神話這種難題的！

只有C合情理，春節就是家人團聚在一起吃飯！

⑸ 考研英語閱讀理解A與B哪個更簡單

閱讀理解A相對簡單，因為閱讀理解A的四篇閱讀從字數和難度上是依次增加版的，再不濟至少前兩篇的權篇幅和難度比後兩篇簡單，只要你認真審題把握關鍵句是可以保證一定的正確率，而閱讀理解B的題型往往是排序或者七選五等等，如果你錯一個往往會波及好幾個，所以相對難。所以閱讀理解B有時對兩個選項模稜兩可時，寧願兩題都選同一個答案，以保證其中一題是正確的，且結果不要波及好幾題。有時往往放棄一題可以保證其他幾題可能正確。
