广西来宾市2017高考英语一轮阅读理解专练14
阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
After years of study，I have known there are only two types of people in this world：those who
get to the airport early and those who arrive as the plane is about to take off.
If there were any justice in this world，the earlyairport people would be rewarded for doing
the right thing and the lateairport people would be punished.But the earlyairport people get
ulcers(溃疡)，heart attacks and bite their fingernails to the bone (急得团团转)．The lateairport
people are hardly aware that they are flying.
A guy of that kind once said，“Don’t hurry.If you miss your flight，it’s because God didn’t
want you to go.”This is clearly a guy who is never going to get an ulcer.
Earlyairport people suffer another“name”．They are called exactly what they are—wimps(懦夫)．I know I am an earlyairport person for years.My luggage will get on the plane first，which
makes it the last luggage they take off the plane after landing.
Another strange thing：No matter how early I showed up，I was always told that someone had called
two or three years ahead of me and asked for the best seat.I figured it was a trick.I figured
there was someone in America who called every airline every day and said，“Is that wimp Simon
flying somewhere today？If he is，give me his seat.”
After a lifetime arguing with my wife over whether I really have to pack 24 hours in advance and
set the alarm clock four hours ahead，I have learned another fact about earlyairport people and
lateairport people：
They always marry each other.
1．We can learn from the passage that________.
A．lateairport persons often get ulcers or heart attacks
B．earlyairport persons are always relaxed during the flight
C．earlyairport persons get their luggage first after landing
D．lateairport persons always take things easy
解析： 细节理解题。从第二段及第三段所举事例可知，晚到机场的人总是沉得住气，不慌不忙，故选D。从第二段第二句可知A项和B项错；从第四段最后一句可知C项错。
答案： D
2．The fifth paragraph mainly tells us________.
A．someone always plays tricks on the writer
B．the airlines usually fool passengers
C．earlyairport persons always can’t get good seats
D．the service of airlines is very bad
解析： 段落大意题。从第五段可知作者通过描述自己的亲身经历得出一个结论：早到机场的人往往不能得到想要的座位，故C选项正确。A项是作者的一个玩笑。因为他总是得不到想要的座位，所以才会说I
figured it was a trick；B项和D项无法从第五段推出。
答案： C
3．The purpose of writing the passage is to________.
A．give useful tips on taking a plane
B．offer advice about catching a plane
C．express the writer’s anxiety about taking planes
D．show peoples two attitudes toward catching planes
解析： 意图推测题。通读全文不难推断出作者写此文章主要介绍了人们对于赶飞机的两种截然不同的态度，故D选项正确。
答案： D
4．It could be inferred that the writer’s wife is________.
A．an earlyairport woman B．a lateairport woman
C．a hottempered woman D．a sensitive woman
解析： 推理判断题。根据文章可知作者属于“早到机场的人。”文章的结尾提到了作者的另一个发现：早到机场的人总是与晚到机场的人结婚。由此，可推知作者的妻子属于“晚到机场的人”，故选B。
答案： B
5．The writing style of the passage would be best described as________.
A．serious B．simple
C．humorous D．ironic
解析： 推理判断题。综观全文，作者的写作风格诙谐幽默，妙趣横生，故选C。
答案： C.

While you may be doing everything right，ignoring just one or two steps in the process may keep
you from getting a job，especially in this fierce market.Here is a checklist that covers some
of the major links in the jobsearch chain.
THE RESUME—Make sure it is uptodate and tailored to the types of jobs you are seeking for.Have
someone else look at your resume.If you cannot afford a career coach，give your resume to friends
or family members to scrutinize．Have copies of your resume printed so that you are ready to hand
them out at interviews.
COVERING LETTERS—Maybe you've set up a few basic styles in advance，but that's not enough.Each
covering letter should be designed to suit the job for which you are applying.
THE WARDROBE(衣橱)—Check your wardrobe to ensure that you have the appropriate professional
dress，including shoes，ready for interview.
NETWORKING—Don't isolate yourself from others for work through email messages，phone
calls，appointments and meetings keep you in touch with the outside world and prevent you from
becoming depressed.
APPLICATION—A glance at huge online job sites isn't usually the best way to find a job.You are
more likely to succeed through the people you know via networking.
THE FOLLOWUP—It is quite common to apply for a job but never hear back from the company.Take
measures，such as following up with a phone call a week or so after you apply.If you know someone
at the company，check whether that person will put in a good word for you.
INTERVIEWS—If you've got plenty of interviews but no return calls or job offers，take a look
at your interviewing skills.This is one area where investing in a career coach may pay off.But
