2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习 阅读理解训练（1）写人记事（阅读理解）Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg,a distance of about eighty miles.It was late.Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left,and I became increasingly impatient.At one point along an open road,I came to a crossing with a traffic light.I was alone on the road by now,but as I drove near the light,it turned red and I made a stop.I looked left,right and behind me.Nothing.Not a car,no suggestion of car lamps,but there I sat,waiting for the light to change,the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.I started wondering why I refused to run the light.I was not afraid of being caught,because there was clearly no policeman around,and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.Much later that night,the question of why I’d stopped for that light came back to me.I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract (契约)we all have with each other.It’s not only the law,but it’s an agreement we have,and we trust each other to honor it: we don’t go through red lights.Trust is our first inclination (倾向).Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us.The whole construction of our society depends on mutual (相互)trust,not distrust.We do what we say we’ll do; we show up when we say we’ll show up; and we pay when we say we’ll pay.We trust each other in these matters,and we’re angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.1.Why did the author get impatient while driving?( )A.He was lonely on the road.B.He was slowed down by a truck.C.He got tired of driving too long.D.He came across too many traffic lights.2.What was the author’s immediate action when the traffic light turned red?( )A.Stopping still.B.Driving through it.C.Looking around for other cars.D.Checking out for traffic police.3.The event made the author strongly believe that .A.traffic rules may be unnecessaryB.doubting others is human natureC.patience is important to driversD.a society needs mutual trust4.Why was the author proud of himself?( )A He kept his promise.B.He held back his anger.C.He followed his inclination.D.He made a right decision. 语篇解读:本文为记叙文,题材属于人物故事类。

阅读理解Interest in pursuing international careers has risen in recent years, as a result of chronic (长久的 ) personnel shortages that are causing panies to search beyond their home borders for talent. Professionals seek career experience outside of their home countries for a variety of reasons. They may feel the need to recharge their batteries with a new challenge. They may want a position with more responsibility that encourages creativity and initiative. Or they may wish to expose their children to another culture, and the opportunity to learn a second language. When applying for a job, one usually has to submit a resume or curriculum vitae (CV). The two terms generally mean the same thing: a one- or two-page document describing one’s educational qualifications and professional experience. However, guidelines for preparing a resume are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the corporate (公司) culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The challenge will be to embrace two or more cultures in one document. The following list is a good place to start. ● Educational requirements differ from country to country. In almost every case of “cross-border” job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be an adequate description. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience. ● Pay attention to the resume format you use chronological or reverse-chronological order. Chronological order means listing your “oldest” work experience first. Reverse-chronological order means listing your current or most recent experience first. Most countries have preferences about which format is most acceptable. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the reverse-chronological format. ● If you are submitting your resume in English, find out if the recipient （收件人) uses British English or American English because there are variations between the two versions. For example, university education is often referred to as “tertiary education” in the United Kingdom, but this term is almost never used in the United States. A reader who is unfamiliar with these variations may assume that your resume contains errors. 64. panies are hiring more foreign employees because _______ . A. they find foreign employees are usually more talented B. they need original ideas from employees hired overseas C. they want to expand their business beyond home borders D. they have difficulty finding qualified personnel at home 65. The author believes that an individual who applies to work overseas _______ . A. is usually creative and full of initiative B. aims to improve his foreign language skills C. is dissatisfied with his own life at home D. seeks either his own or his children’s development 66. When it es to resume writing, it is best to _______ . A. take cultural factors into consideration B. learn about the pany’s hiring process C. follow appropriate guidelines for job hunting D. know the employer’s personal likes and dislikes 67. According to the author’s last piece of advice, the applicants should be aware of _______ . A. the different educational systems in the US and the UK B. the differences between the varieties of English C. the recipient’s preference with regard to the format D. the distinctive characteristics of American and British cultures 【参考答案】64—67 DDAB 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

xx黄浦区】(C) Throughout the centuries, various writers have contributed greatly to the literary treasure trove of books lining the shelves of today’s libraries. In addition to writing interesting material, many famous writers, such as Edgar Allan Poe, were larger-than-life characters with personal histories that are as interesting to read as the stories they wrote. Poe’s rocky life included being driven off from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1831 and an ongoing battle with alcohol. Yet, despite heavy gambling debts, poor health, and terrible unemployment, Poe managed to produce a body of popular works, including “The Raven” and “The Murders in the Rue Morgue.”Herman Melville, author of Moby Dick, once lived among the man-eaters in the Marquesas Islands and wrote unusual tales inspired by his years of service in the U.S. Navy. Dublin-born Oscar Wilde was noted for his charismatic personality, his outrageous lifestyle, and creating witty catchphrases such as, “Nothing succeeds like excess.” D.H. Lawrence wrote shameful novels that were often cut, and Anne Rice led a double life writing bestselling horrible novels under her real name and using “A.N. Roquelaure” for the lowbrow unhealthy novels she penned on the side. Nonconformist(不墨守成规的)author and naturalist Henry David Thoreau once fled to the woods and generated enough interesting material to fill his noted book Walden. Thoreau wrote on the issue of passive resistance protest in his essay “Civil Disobedience” and served time in jail for refusing tax payments in protest of the United States government’s policy towards slavery. American short story writer O. Henry’s colorful life was ruined by tragic events, such as being accused and sentenced for stealing money from an Austin, Texas bank. Despite his success selling his short stories, O. Henry struggled financially and was nearly bankrupt when he died. As diverse as these famous authors’ backgrounds were, they all led unconventional lives while writing great literary works that will endure throughout the ages. The next time you read an interesting book, consider learning more about the author by reading his or her biography so you can learn about the unique life experiences that shaped his or her writing. A. He had his own interesting personal history as other famous writers. B. He graduated from United States Military Academy at West Point in 1831. C. He once had heavy gambling debts and fell down with illness. D. He managed to produce popular works no matter how rocky his life was. 73. What can you infer from Para.2?A. D.H. Lawrence and Anne Rice once wrote similar type of novels. B. Anne Rice used a pen name because her novels were quite popular.C. Anne Rice used different names when she wrote bestselling novels. D. Henry David Thoreau enriched his books by living in the forests. 74. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. Henry David Thoreau was passionately opposed to horrible events. B. Anne Rice always used a pen name to conceal her true identity. C. Herman Melville stayed with man-eaters during his naval service. D. O Henry’s life was colorful though he had lots of difficulties. 75. The passage mainly tells us that ______. A. many famous writers lived nontraditional lives B. most famous writers were usually troublemakers C. writers had to lead interesting lives to generate materialsD. the biographies of famous writers are always inspirational【参考答案】72—75 BACA。
