2014高考英语阅读理解：2013暑假练习题（8）及答案解析(A 篇)When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, they usually talk simultaneously (同时地) about a variety of subjects, including children, men, careers and what’ s happening in their lives. When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up.Men can either talk or watch the screen —they can’t do both —and they don’ t understand that women can. Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships — not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls’ mothers talked to them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author of Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to, and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias of their children. Since a girl’ s brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we therefore talk to them more. Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually disappointed to receive only short grunts in reply.[语篇解读]女人在一起总是有说不完的话，甚至能一边看电影一边聊，男人却做不到，这是为什么？因为她们认为感情联络很重要，而且她们的大脑在这方面有着特殊功能。

1．While watching TV with others, women usually talk a lot because they________.A. are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friendsB. can both talk and watch the screen at the same timeC. think they can have a good time and develop relationshipsD. have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands[解析]考查细节理解。

根据文章第一段的最后一句可知妇女们聚在一起总有说不完的话是因为她们认为在一起就要玩得愉快，同时加深关系。

[答案] C2．After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours in order to________.A. experience the happy time againB. keep a close tie with herC. recommend her a new scenic spotD. remind her of something forgotten[解析]考查细节理解。

根据文章的第三段中的a woman sees it as a means of bonding可知，女人度假回来会给朋友打电话长聊是因为她们把电话看做维系关系的纽带。

[答案] B3．What does the author want to tell us most?A. Women’s brains are better organized for language and communication.B. Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.C. Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts.D. Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking.[解析]考查写作意图。

根据文章最后一段中的“Since a girl’s brain is better organized to send and receive speech”一句可知，作者最想让读者知道的就是她们能滔滔不绝的原因是她们的大脑在交流当中更善于处理信息。

[答案] C4．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Women Are Socially Trained to TalkB. Talking Maintains RelationshipsC. Women Love to TalkD. Men Talk Differently from Women[解析]考查标题归纳。

本文是围绕女人喜欢讲话这个话题来展开的，因此C项为最佳标题。

[答案] C*****************************************************结束(第B篇)When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm and，in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.One big disadvantage is money—it costs so much to go out，not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma (哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle，but that can be quite dangerous.Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city，whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment (娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally，if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising—and,what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.Is life better then，in the city? Perhaps it is，when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However, as you get older，and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.5. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?A. Staying on the farm.B. Moving to the countryside.C. Leaving home for the city.D. Running away from the school.[解析]细节理解题。

And 15 of the 18 awards went to students from China.170 students’ task: to get a fully designed blog up and running, complete with many postings based on a theme of choice — all written in Chinese.Themes ranged from local opinions —such as the usage of Singlish, education and whether Singapore can be a cultural centre — to food blogs.The entries were judged on language proficiency(熟练程度) and the quality of writing, as well as the design and level of exchanging ideas with readers.Academics from the National University of Singapore and the SIM University, IT experts, and a journalist from Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore made up the judges.In the end, only three Singaporean students made it to the award list — the rest of the awards were swept up by students from China.“No surprise, ”said Mr. Chow Yaw Long, 37, teacherin charge from Innova Junior College, which organized the event. “Although the topics were local subjects, the foreign students were generally better in terms of the content of the posts and their grasp of the Chinese language.”One of the three local students winning the first prize in the Best Language Award was blogger Christina Gao, 19, from the Saint Andrew’s Junior College, who spared no effort in researching for and writing her blog. Each entry took her between five and seven days to produce, complete with pictures and even podcasts (播客)．Her advice for bloggers is: Be responsible.“Some bloggers out there only seek to blame the authorities and other bloggers，” said Miss Gao. “I think they lack responsibilities and there is no value to their posts.”[语篇解读]新加坡举行一次国内外学生用汉语写博客的大赛，结果只有3个本土学生得奖，其余的被中国学生包揽。

请从下列提问（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出与他的回答相匹配的问题，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。

选项中有一项是多余选项。

（选自台州市 2011学年第一学期高三年级期末质量评估试题）A.What do awards mean to you?B.How would you describe your style?C.What is it about acting that’s so attractive?D.How do you deal with this loss of privacy?E.How do you divide your time in acting and music?F.What gave you the idea to start the studios in the first place?Born in New York in 1976, Wang grew up in the United States. Blessed with a mix of brains and talent, he spent his youth performing in local musicals. While in university, Wang landed a recording contract in Taiwan. His breakthrough album firmly established him as a rising star in the Asian music scene. In addition to writing and producing his own music, Wang has also taken part in movie projects around Asia. He has won a great popularity, and now he is having an interview with CNN Talk Asia.61. ___________________WL: It is a school of hip hop, which is the way I like to think of it. It combines Chinese elements and sounds. I started it off in my last album called Shangrila. And this album combines the music of ethnic minorities, in China, in Tibet, and in Mongolia. It’s beautiful and orig inal to Chinese culture. And this new album called Heroes of Earth combines Opera and Quen-chu, which are thousand-year-old traditions also unique to Chinese culture. Very unique instruments, costumes, singing styles. I don’t think anyone has ever done thi s before in the hip hop world.62. ___________________WL: Um, just the large quantity of work that I have to come up with. I produce for other artists and compose for them as well. And there are a lot of changes in music going on right now in Asia. And it’s really exciting so I decided that I’m going to need a studio in New York. I’m going to need a studio in Taipei. And maybe the rest I can get by with just my laptop.63. ___________________WL: Well, I started doing musical theatre. And I loved it so much from the age of 13, you know. Actually in 2000, I did my first movie and ever since then I’ve been enjoying doing movies. I don’t think I’m much of an actor. But I just love being surrounded by creative people and a lot of times doing music is a lonely struggle, especially composing, and arranging, producing my own albums. Acting, every day you get called and you’re surrounded by other actors and creative people.64. ___________________WL: The first time I won, like you just said, when I was 22, it me ant a lot to me. It was like…I didn’t know I could make this happen. I didn’t know I could get this kind of recognition. So back then, it was huge increase of confidence. And I don’t want to say vanity(虚荣心), but confidence. I think every artist needs confidence.65. ___________________WL: Well, it can be a real pain in the neck. You know, I feel lucky that I can go back to New York and not berecognized and not be followed. At times it can be really, really annoying. Today many people own a cell phone that has a camera on it… and a blog. In the entertainment news, there’s a recent trend of journalists or media just going on to the Internet and saying “Oh, so and so saw so and so.” when they see a blog. You know, it’s completely irresponsible but in the blog what he says can become the title of the newspaper article.参考答案61－65 BFCAD*************************************************************结束第二节：Aaron Jed B.
