2014高考英语阅读理解提升全程训练(7）及答案
阅读理解--———A
（201＊·四川卷,A）
It's 5：00 in the morning when the alarm （闹钟) rings in my ears. I
roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom。 I
turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk
downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go
for a long run， but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity.
Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes。 My heart races as I force my
body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise， I feel
extremely tired， but a smile is on my face. It’s not a smile because the
DVD is over， but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme
limit.
Some people enjoy shopping， smoking， food, work， or even
chocolate。 But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads
when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to
try just one bite of their grandmother’s chocolate cake. They raise their
eyebrows， surprised by my “no thank you," or by my choice to have a
salad。 Over the years, I have learned it’s okay to just say “no”。 I 学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat.
So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5：00 a．m。？What gives me
the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment。
A commitment to
change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases
self.confidence and energy，extends life and above all improves my body
shape。This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at
myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just
right。It's through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference
within myself inside and out.
一个每天按时起床锻炼身体的女人，一个有着自己个性与喜好的女人,为了保持自己的体型，降低压力，提高自信，坚持着这种日复一日的锻炼,让自己每天都挂着笑容面对生活。
1．Why is there a smile on the author's face in the morning？
A．Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully。
B．Because she finishes her favorite exercise.
C．Because she enjoys the interesting DVD。
D．Because she feels a sense of achievement.
答案：D。细节判断题。根据第一个段落的最后一句话, 先排除C的说法；在本句中“a smile of success of pushing…"可以断定其实是学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
一种成就感令她脸上挂着笑容。最大的干扰项可能会是B，但如果细读，会找到关键词“success”。
2．Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 2？
A．She doesn’t treat others politely.
B．She likes to make others surprised。
C．Others don’t understand what she dose。
D．Others try to help her by offering her food.
答案:C。细节判断题。从本段的情节来看，选项A,D都相差甚远；而“I need exercise to get through each day"正是表明了作者的喜好，而不是像选项B说的喜欢出奇，故排除B。从“raised their
eyebrows, surprised by。。.”来看，其实别人是感到奇怪而已。
3．What does the underlined word “commitment” in the last
paragraph mean？
A．Good health. B．Firm belief。
C．A strong power. D．A regular habit。
答案：B。词意理解题.从全文的语境信息来看，这么多年，这么坚持,这么享受,而且从“sweat"一词身上也能找到提示，即：坚定的信念与汗水，故选项B最符合语境。
4．What can we learn about the author from the text? 学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
A．She acts in a strange way。
B．She wants to look different from others.
C．She aims to develop a good body shape.
D．She has difficulty getting along with others.
答案:C。理解判断题。文章的最后一段中有一句话“above all
improves my body shape”,从这句话中可以确定选项C的说法是正确的。

When you consider what subject to study in college， chances are that
you and your parents will think about what you can make out of it after graduation。 You will likely ask the question： “Can I find a well—paid
job or simply a job with a degree in this in the future？”
This consideration also influences students when they come to
choose between studying science or humanities （人文学科） at college.
People generally believe that the humanities, which include literature ,
history， cultural studies and philosophy， do not prepare students for a
specific vocation (职业）. Science subjects, however， are considered
vocational courses that produce scientists, engineers and economists (经济学家).

parents and I think this subject will help me get a good job or start a
business,” said Huachen Yueru, 17, a science student at Wuxi No。 1
High School。
Even those who choose a liberal arts (文科） education often
pick the humanities subject which they think will best help them later find
a job.
“I'm going to study Spanish in college， which I believe will
open doors to a high-paying job for me，” said Liu Chao， 18, a Senior 2
student at Dalian No 20 High School。 He said few of his classmates show
interest in subjects like philosophy and history， which are seen as “less
promising" in job markets.
The popularity of liberal arts subjects among college students has
also been decreasing in the United States. American scholars （学者) and
universities are concerned that in the ongoing economic crisis (经济危机）
