“巴尔塔萨的一个奇特的下午”阅读试题及答案(2011高考语文安徽卷)三、阅读下面的文字,完成11~14题。
巴尔塔萨的一个奇特的下午[哥伦比亚] 马尔克斯鸟笼做成了。
巴尔塔萨习惯地把它挂在房檐底下。
刚吃完午饭,就听人到处在说,他做了一个全世界最漂亮的鸟笼。
来瞧热闹的人多级了,巴尔塔萨房前简直门庭若市,吵吵嚷嚷的,他只得摘下鸟笼,把木工作坊的门关上。
“你该刮刮脸啦。
”乌尔苏拉对他说。
两个星期以来,丈夫一心扑在鸟笼上,干木工活儿就不用心思了,她很不高兴,可是鸟笼一做好,她的烦恼就顿时烟消云散了。
“你能赚多少钱呢?”她问。
“不知道,”巴尔塔萨回答,“我想要价三十比索。
末了总能到手二十吧。
”“你先要五十比索,”这半个月来,你起早贪黑的。
再说,这鸟笼多大呀。
我这辈子见过的鸟笼,就数这个大哩。
”有关鸟笼的消息早就传开了,老大夫希拉尔多的夫人爱养鸟,那天下午,大夫出诊归来,就去看个究竟。
饭厅里挤满了人,那鸟笼放在桌上,供人观赏。
偌大的鸟笼用铁丝扎成,分成三层,上下有通道,里面搭着专供鸟儿吃食和栖息的小房。
空余部分,装有鸟儿嬉戏用的吊杆。
整个鸟笼,犹如一座大型冰厂的模型。
老大夫左看右瞧,他寻思,这鸟笼果然名不虚传,比他想给妻子买的那种漂亮多了。
“①这鸟笼根本不用养鸟,只要在树上一挂,它自己就会叫起来。
”说着,他当着众人把鸟笼转了几转,又把鸟笼搁回桌上,“得,我买下了。
”“已经卖给别人啦。
”乌尔苏拉说。
“蒙铁尔的儿子,是他订做的。
”巴尔塔萨补充道。
大夫又瞧瞧鸟笼。
“你可以再做一个嘛!”“很抱歉,大夫,”巴尔塔萨说,“可是已经出手的东西是不能再卖的呀。
”大夫耸耸肩膀,“他们出多少钱买下的?”巴尔塔萨把目光转向乌尔苏拉。
“六十个比索。
”她说。
大夫又看看鸟笼。
“真漂亮,”他赞叹着,“漂亮极了。
”说罢,转身朝门口走去,“蒙铁尔可真有钱啊!”财主蒙铁尔对于鸟笼的新闻无动于衷。
他就住在离这儿没有多远的地方,一间堆满家具什物的房子里。
(及答案)高中英语阅读理解之《垃圾分类》阅读短文并回答问题“What kind of rubbish are you?”This question might normally cause anger,but in Shanghai it has brought about weary groans over the past week.On July1st,the city introduced strict trash-sorting regulations that are expected to be used as a model for our country.Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss it into specific public bins.They must do so at scheduled times,when monitors are present to ensure compliance(服从)and to inquire into the nature of one’s rubbish.Violators face the prospect of fines and worse.They could be hit with fines of up to200yuan($29).For repeat violators,the city can add black marks to their credit records,making it harder for them to obtain bank loans or even buy train tickets.Shanghai authorities are responding to an obvious environmental problem.It generates9million tonnes of garbage a year,more than London’s annual output and rising quickly.But like other cities in China, it lacks a recycling system.Instead,it has relied on trash pickers to sift through the waste,plucking out whatever can be reused.This has limits. As people get wealthier,fewer of them want to do such dirty work.The waste,meanwhile,just keeps piling up.China churns out80billion pairs of disposable chopsticks a year.Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are frustrated by the details.Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food,recyclable,dry or hazardous(有害的),the distinctions among which can be confusing,though there are apps to help work it out.Some have complained about the rules surrounding food waste.They must put it straight in the required public bin,forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss it by hand.Most vexing(令人烦恼的)are the short windows for dumping trash,typically a couple of hours,morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins,this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out;no one wants to look bad.(节选自The Economist)1.What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?A.To introduce the trash-sorting regulations.B.To explain the four categories of the waste.C.To present residents’complaints about trash dividing.D.To show the goal of trash-sorting regulations.2.What does the underlined word“Violators”in Paragraph2refer to?A.People who don’t sort the waste.B.People who argue with the monitors.C.People who don’t throw the trash on time.D.People who are against the regulations.3.What is the main direct environmental problem in Shanghai?A.The massive traffic.B.The increasing garbage.ck of a recycling system.ck of trash pickers.4.What makes the residents upset most about the rules?plex distinction among the four categories of trash.B.Short scheduled time for tossing the trash.C.Being observed by monitors when throwing the garbage.D.Being fined when blamed due to improper behavior.5.What can be the best title for the text?A.A Restart of Trash-sortingB.A Great Change in Tackling LitterC.A New Era of Garbage ClassificationD.A Craze for Learning Waste Sorting参考答案1-5ADBBC生词1.sift through筛选2.pluck out拔,摘3.pile up堆积,积累4.churn out大量生产,粗制滥造5.disposable adj.用后即丢弃的,一次性的长难句分析1.For repeat violators,the city can add black marks to their credit records,making it harder for them to obtain bank loans or even buy train tickets.主干:The city can add black marks to their credit records.译文:对于屡次违规者,他们的信用记录将被加上污点。

材料一:北宋的题山水画诗,固然仍有不少是停留在单纯描述画面,赞扬画家画得逼真,然而融入个人情感的作品比例却大大增加。
更重要的是,与唐代不同,在这类融入个人情感的诗歌中,卧游不再是最重要的表现内容,它只是一个途径,而归隐才是最终目的。
在北宋涉及党争的诗人的题山水画诗中,提到归隐的诗歌约占30%,远远高于唐代。
而谈到归隐的作者更是远多于唐,苏轼、苏辙、黄庭坚、米芾、晁补之、蔡襄、秦观等都有提及。
北宋是山水画发展的一个高峰期,不仅出现了李成、范宽这样杰出的山水画家,而且诞生了郭熙《林泉高致》这样精到的山水画理论总结,而这一时期苏轼的画学理论更推进了文人画的形成。
在这种背景之下,山水画空前繁荣,山水不仅彻底摆脱了作为背景的尴尬局面,取得了独立的地位,而且融入了文人的情思,更易与诗人契合。
故失意的文人更容易在山水画中找到心灵的栖息之处。
然而林泉之思大量产生的更重要的原因,是与北宋党争有关。
政党之间的相互倾轧,使许多文人卷入了政治漩涡,宦海沉浮的沧桑使文人们大多疲惫不堪,故而转向对山水的倾诉,以求通过山水获得精神压力的释放。
这种情绪深深地反映到了题山水画诗中,成为观山水画所得的一个最重要的感受。
如晁补之《题段吉先小景》三首(其二):人生何事踏尘埃,闲处胸襟足自开。
不作终南养高价,小山幽桂好归来。
晁补之作为“苏门四学士”之一,亦被作为旧党卷入到党争之中,这使其诗歌洋溢着浓厚的归隐情绪。
这首诗否定了唐代以隐居为终南捷径的表达方式,而认同真正的归隐。
在北宋党争之后,题山水画诗建立起一种归隐的情调。
不仅单纯地描述画面,强调画中景致的逼真,而且融入了一种深沉的林泉之思。
这种规范的建立,对北宋之后的题山水画诗书写更产生了重要的导向作用。

The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm, Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered( 发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didn’t know each other well —Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground,“ Paris’ s eye rolled back,” Taylor says. “ She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency.”It certainly was, Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, “Does anyone know CPR?”CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen the brain is damaging quickly.Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn’t think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR, “It was scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death,” says Taylor.Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic devices(器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris’heartbeat returned.“I know I was really lucky,” Paris says now. “Most people don’t survive this. My team saved my life.”Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. “ I feel more confident in my actions now,” Taylor says. “ I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation.”56.What happened to Paris on a March day?A.She caught a bad cold.B.She had a sudden heart problem.C.She was knocked down by a ball.D.She shivered terribly during practice57.Why does Paris say she was lucky?A.She made a worthy friend.B.She recovered from shock.C.She received immediate CPR.D.S he came back on the softball team.58.Which of the following words can best describe Taylor?A.Enthusiastic and kind.B.Courageous and calm.C.Cooperative and generous.D.Ambitious and professional.【2017 江苏卷】ACHRONOLOGICA——The Unbelievable Years that Defined History DID YOU KNOW…In 105 AD paper was invented in China?When Columbus discovered the New World?The British Museum opened in 1759?CHRONOLOGICA is a fascinating journey through time, from the foundation of Rometo the creation of the internet.

Here are four common email accidents, and how to recover.Clicking “send” too soonDon’t waste your time trying to find out if the receivers has read it yet.

But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one. In those days , a brush was made from camel’ s hair. There were no camels nearby.

阅读理解(1)第一节阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)AThe house was quiet at 5 a.m. and Tim’s mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He’d dreamt of the cave last night. The purring (轻微颤动声) of the freezer had been the sea.Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He’d eat after he’d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the se a.He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches ---but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she’d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table.Gone to Michael’s Back tonight .Tim.The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn’t up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.The sandhills stil l breathed heat from yesterday’s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world.Over the first rocks, along to the point, Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky.He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn’t go in all the way …【小题1】What did Tim do at the beginning of the story?A.He left the house quietlyB. He had breakfast at home.C. He left a note on the freezer.D. He put a sweater in his schoolbag.【小题2】"He settled for some biscuits” ( in Paragrap h 3 ) means that Tim_______.A. left home looking for some biscuitsB.felt like eating biscuits rather than sandwichesC. had to take biscuits instead of sandwichesD. could only find some biscuits in the kitchen【小题3】What made it possible for Tim to see the entry to the cave?A. The height of the first rocks.B. The ups and downs of the waves.C. The change in the position of the sun.D. The vast stretch of the sunlit beach.【小题4】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the story?A. The sea looked like a piece of gold.B. Seabirds flew away when Tim arrived.C. Tim was the only person on the beach.D. The sky got dark as Tim reached the cave.【小题5】In the story, Tim’s mood changed from .A. loneliness to crazinessB. anxiousness to excitementC. helplessness to happinessD. eagerness to nervousnessB“A very destructive seven-year old child kicked my legs and scratched at my hand,” said one teacher. “I broke up a fight and was kicked,” said another. Many people have heard stories like this. But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.Every child, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born, has the right to achieve their potential, regardless of their parents’ wealth and cl ass. And we recognize that, as a nation, it is a long way to achieve this goal. But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter.Far too many children are behaving badly at school, even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough,but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table,and unable to use the lavatory properly.We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep, has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children’s behavior and sticking to those boundaries when the going gets tough. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources---time---so that children come to school ready and willing to learn.【小题1】What problem do people ignore in the writer’s opinion?A. The school violence.B. The pressure of students’ learning.C. The right to achieve students’ potential.D. S tudents’ responsibilities.【小题2】The writer’s attitude to the behaviors of parents may be that of .A. dissatisfactionB. sympathyC. understandingD. tolerance【小题3】The underlined part in Paragraph 4 may mean .A. children don’t live with their parents in the same roomB. parents care little about children’s life at homeC. children spend little time with their parents at homeD. parents attempt to establish a good relationship with their children【小题4】From the last paragraph,we can infer that .A. school can’t correct the wrongs that society does to teachersB. teachers have no responsibility for playing the role of parentsC. parents should spend time with children making them ready to learnD. students are responsible for making themselves known in society【小题5】What is the main idea of the passage?A. Children’s behavior at school is worrying peopleB. Parents expect schools to correct their children’s bad habitsC. There is no point in parents’teaching children at homeD. Don’t blame teachers when it’s parents who are failingCMany of us mistakenly believe that it’s wrong to think we have any good qualities. We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance. However, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people. How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed?If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. The person who doesn’t like you might be fearful, or shallow or busy or shy. Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time.Don’t take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities. In fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else. Although some factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least many factors that will work in your favor.You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life. There are many people who don’t mind your extra pounds. You may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend. There are people out there looking for loyalty, or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important. If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends. You can decide to feel inferior because you don’t have much money and you don’t drive a nice car. You can believe that this is the reason that you don’t have many friends in your l ife. On the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes you as a person.The point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe it’s the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any.【小题1】According to the passage, plays an important role in making friends.A. admitting your shortcomingsB. self criticismC. modestyD. confidence 【小题2】If you are not liked by a person, .A. you should find the reason in yourselfB. you’d better talk with the person face to faceC. you may not be the one to be blamedD. you and that person misunderstand each other 【小题3】We can learn from the third paragraph that .A. your good qualities may make you earn more moneyB. your weakness may also be your strengths in some wayC. your negative qualities may cause you to lose friendsD. you’ll have few friends if you don’t share the same interest【小题4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the author?A. It is important to lose weight.B. It is easier for a wealthy person to make friends.C. Inner qualities are more important than physical appearance.D. If you are not beautiful enough, try to improve your physical beauty.【小题5】What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write?A. How to find your good qualities.B. How to make friends.C. How to make self criticism.D. How to keep fit.DMost employers say that they wish to employ the right person for the right job. A recentreport by Britain’s Independent Institute of Manpower Studies, however, disagrees with this. The report states that most employers wish to avoid employing the wrong person. Rather than looking for the right person they are looking for applicants to turn down.The report also suggests that in Britain and in many other parts of the world the selection methods used to pick out the right person for the job certainly do not match up to those used to judge a piece of new equipment. Employers used three main selection methods: interviewing, checking resume or application forms and examining references. Most of the employers asked in this survey stated that these selection methods were used more for weeding out unsuitable applicants rather than for finding suitable ones.Interviews were considered to be more reliable than either resume checks or references from past employers. Research, however, proves other wise. Interviewers’ decisions are often strongly influenced by their earlier judgment of the written application. Also different employers view facts differently. One may consider applicants who have frequently changed jobs as people with broad and useful experience. Another will see such applicants as unreliable and unlikely to stay for long in the new job.Some employers place great importance on academic qualifications whereas the link between this and success in management is not necessarily strong. Some employers use handwriting as a standard. The report states that there is little evidence to support the value of the latter for judging working ability. References, also, are sometimes unreliable as they are not very important while checks on credit and security records and applicants’ political opinions are often the opposite.The report is more favorable towards trainability tests and those which test personality and personal and mental skills. The report concludes by suggesting that interviewing could become more reliable if the questions were arranged in a careful, organized system and focused on the needs of the employing organization.【小题1】According to the passage, when most employers want to hire workers, .A. they will try to find suitable peopleB. they will look for the right applicantC. the wrong applicants are to be turned downD. to turn down the wrong people is what they say they aim to do【小题2】It is implied that .A. to evaluate a right person is more difficult than to evaluate equipmentB. employers are more successful in selecting the right equipment than the right personsC. criteria will be set up according to the real situation of the applicantsD. resumes means application forms【小题3】Most of the recruiters (招聘人员) .A. consult the applicantsB. can find suitable peopleC. prefer resumes or referencesD. use different ways to sort out the unsuitable applicants 【小题4】Which of the following is TRUE?A. Employers get different conclusions from the facts.B. Changing jobs frequently will reduce the chance to be recruited.C. Academic qualifications will guarantee the applicant managing ability.D. Handwriting is a valid way to evaluate an applicant.【小题5】It can be inferred from the passage that successful employees will be thosewho .A. have outstanding referencesB. are strong in emotional quotientC. take interviewing seriouslyD. have strong political leanings1】A小题2】C3】C4】C5】D1】D2】A3】C4】C5】D1】D2】C3】B4】C5】A1】D2】C3】D4】A5】D。
