2019年高考英语阅读理解一轮练(2)李仕才ASome years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen...At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often only of objects I find really beautiful. I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don't live to make memories--I just live, and the memories form themselves.1.Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of ________.A. observing her school routineB. expressing her satisfactionC. impressing her classmatesD. preserving her history2.What caused a change in the author's understanding of keeping a diary?A.A dull night on the journey.B.

BThe other morning on the subway I sat next to an attractive young blonde woman who was reading something on her iPad.She was very welldressed,carrying a Prada bag with tastefully applied makeup indeed,she had an unmistakable air of wealth,material success and even authority.I suspected she worked as a highlypaid Wall Street lawyer or stockbroker or something of that sort.So,I was curious to see what she was so focused on.The Wall Street Journal perhaps?The Economist?Quite the contrary;rather,she was concentrating on a romance novel.Then I realized that I have known many women who love romance novels—smart,attractive,successful,“liberated”,modern females who nonetheless find some kind of deep satisfaction and thrill from those hyperromantic,artificial and extremely unrealistic tales of handsome,manly heroes falling in love with virginal women,enduring a series of adventures,then no doubt having a happy ending.These_romance_stories_are_to_literature_what_hot_dogs_are_to_fine_food.Yet,the genre(体裁) remains enormously popular.Consider some of these surprising statistics from the good folks at the Romance Writers of America(RWA):*More than 9,000 romance titles were released last year,with sales of about $1.44 billion (more than triple the revenues generated by classic literary fiction).*More than 90 percent of the market are women (okay,that’s not at all surprising).*Readers are typically women between the ages 30 and 54 who are themselves involved in a romantic relationship (betraying the stereotype that only lonely women long forthese tales of love and adventure).*Almost 40 percent of romance book consumers have an annual income of between $50,000 and $99,900 (placing them firmly in the middle class).I had thought that romance novels accounted for a very small share of the literary market,so I was quite surprised that this part has such enormous popularity.But I must wonder why so many women—forty years after the women’s liberation movement continue to indulge in the fanciful tales?I’m not sure if it represents a kind of “rejection” of the women’s liberation movement,but clearly something is missing in the lives of contemporary ladies.A romance author named Donna Hatch who focuses on the Regency period (early 19th century Britain) explained the appeal of such books this way:“Regency men were civiliz ed and treated women with courtesy.When a lady entered the room,gentlemen stood,doffed their hats,offered an arm,bowed,and a hundred other little things I wish men still did today.But they were also very athletic;they hunted,raced,boxed,rode horses.They were manly.Strong.Noble.Honorable.And that is why I love them!”Mrs. Hatch may have expressed the secret desires and attitudes of untold millions of her peers—that is,in the early 21st century,have women grown tired of the burdens and expectations that the “freedoms” they have gained give them?Is this a rejection of modern feminism?Do women long for days of old when men were masculine gentlemen and women were feminine and protected as precious treasures and regarded as possessions?Perhaps most women (even the ones who get lost in romance novels) do not want to go all the way back but it is obvious,________.【解题导语】落难少女情结:现代女性喜爱阅读言情小说的背后。
