高一英语阅读理解专讲专练8

高一英语阅读理解专讲专练含答案及解析八抓主干，理枝叶长难句增加，是近年高考阅读理解试题不可忽视的现象之一。英语的长句可分为两类：含有数量较多的定语或状语的简单句和含有数量较多的各种从句的并列句或复合句。阅读长句的基本方法是抓主干，理枝叶。抓主干就是抓句子的主体部分，也就是主语和谓语，它们是传达信息的主要载体；理枝叶就是分析句子的附加部分，不论它们有多长，有多复杂，它们都是辅助成分，我们只要明确它们与主体的关系就可以了。如：Themoonissofarfromtheearththatevenifhugetreesweregrowingonthemountains,andelephantswerewalkingabout,wecouldnotseethemthroughthemostpowerfultelescopeswhichhaveeverbeeninvented.这个长句的主干就是Themoonisfarfromtheearth，其他部分，如状语从句、定语从句等，都是为突出主题服务的。PassageA阅读理解TheWinterOlympics,whichisalsocalledtheWhiteOlympics,werefirstheldasaseparatecompetitionin1924atChamonixMontBlanc,France.Atthistime,manycolorfulstampsarepublishedtomarkthegreatgames.ThefirststampmarkingtheopeningoftheWhiteOlympicswasissued(发行)onJanuary25,1932intheUnitedStatestocelebratethethirdWhiteOlympics.①Fromthenon,issuingstampsduringtheWhiteOlympicsbecameatradition.ToobservethefourthWinterOlympicGames,②agroupofstampswerepublishedinGermanyinNovember,1935.ThefiveringsoftheOlympicswereprintedonthefrontofthesportswear.Itwasthefirsttimethatthesymbol(象征)appearedonstampsoftheWinterOlympics.Inthe1950s,thestampsofthiskindbecamemorecolorful.WhentheWinterOlympicscame,thehostcountriesaswellasthenonhostcountriespublishedstampstomarkthosegames.ChinaalsopublishedfourstampsinFebruary,1980,whentheChinesesportsmenbegantomarchintotheareaoftheWhiteOlympics.JapanistheonlycountryinAsiathathaseverheldtheWhiteOlympics.Altogether14,500millionstampsweresoldtoraisefunds(经费)forthissportsmeet.11/11Differentkindsofsportswereprintedonthesesmallstamps.Peoplecanenjoythebeautyofthewonderfulmovementsofsomeathletics.根据文章内容，选择正确答案：1.PeoplehavepublishedstampsmarkingtheWinterOlympics____.A.sincethefirstWhiteOlympicsin1932B.whenthefirstOlympicsgamesstartedC.sincethethirdWinterOlympicsin1932D.onthesamedayofthethirdOlympics2.Fromthepassagewecanseethat____.A.theChinesesportsmenbegantotakepartintheWinterOlympicsin1980B.itwasin1980thattheChinesebegantopublishstampsC.theChinesebegantotakepartintheOlympicsgamesinthe1980sD.ChinaheldtheWinterOlympicsin19803.WhichofthefollowingstatementsisNOTtrue?A.ThethirdWinterOlympicsopenedonJanuary25,1932.B.Publishingstampsisawayofraisingmoneyforthesportsmeet.C.InAsiaonlyJapanheldtheWinterOlympics.D.Inthe1950sallthecountriespublishedstampstomarkthegames.难句注释①ThefirststampmarkingtheopeningoftheWhiteOlympicswasissuedonJanuary25,1932intheUnitedStatestocelebratethethirdWhiteOlympics.Totalwords:226Readingtime:____Readingspeed:____11/11为了庆祝第3届冬季奥运会，纪念其开幕的第一枚邮票于1932年1月25日在美国发行。②toobservethefourthWinterOlympicGames为了庆祝第四届冬季奥运会。observe意为“举行；庆祝”。PassageB阅读理解Today,rollerskating(旱冰)iseasyandfun,anditispopularthroughouttheworld.Peoplerollerskateoutsideonpathsandroads,andinsideinrinks.Butalongtimeago,itwasnteasyatall.Before1750,theideaofskatingdidntexist.ThatchangedbecauseofamannamedJosephMerlin.Merlin'sworkwasmakingmusicalinstruments.Inhissparetimehelikedtoplaytheviolin.JosephMerlinwasamanfullofideasanddreams.Peoplecalledhimadreamer.OnedayMerlinreceivedaninvitationtoattendafancydressball(化装舞会).Hewasverypleasedandalittleexcited.Asthedayofthepartycamenear,Merlinbegantothinkhowtomakeagrandentrance(隆重出场)attheparty.Hehadanidea.Hethoughthewouldgetalotofattentionifhecouldskateintotheroom.Merlintrieddifferentwaystomakehimselffool.①Finally,hedecidedtoputtwowheelsundereachshoe.Thesewerethefirstrollerskates.Merlinwasveryproudofhisinventionanddreamedofarrivingatthepartyonwheelswhileplayingtheviolin.②OnthenightofthepartyMerlinrolledintotheroomplayinghisviolin.Everyonewassurprisedtoseehim.Therewasjustoneproblem.Merlinhadnowaytostophisrollerskates.Herolledonandon.Suddenly,heranintoahugemirrorthatwashangingonthewall.Downfellthemirror,breakingintopieces.③NobodyforgotMerlinsgrandentranceforalongtime!根据文章内容，选择正确答案：1.Thetextismainlyabout____.A.astrangemanB.anunusualpartyC.howrollerskatingbeganD.howpeopleenjoyedthemselvesinthe18thcentury11/112.PeoplethoughtMerlinwasadreamerbecausehe____.A.oftengaveotherssurprisesB.wasagifted(有天赋的)musicianC.inventedtherollerskatesD.wasfullofimagination3.Merlinputwheelsunderhisshoesinorderto.A.drawtheguestsattentionB.arriveatthepartysoonerC.testhisinventionD.showhisskillinwalkingonwheels4.Whatisthemainpointthewriteristryingtomakeinthelastparagraph?A.Therollerskatesneededfurtherimprovement.B.ThepartygueststookMerlinforafool.C.Merlinsucceededbeyondexpectation(超出预料).D.Merlingothimselfintotrouble.难句注释①Merlintrieddifferentwaystomakehimselffool.默林尝试不同的方法使自己看起来有点滑稽。Totalwords:261Readingtime:____Readingspeed:____②Merlinwasveryproudofhisinventionanddreamedofarrivingatthepartyonwheelswhileplayingtheviolin.默林为他的发明感到非常骄傲，并且梦想滑着轮子演奏小提琴出现在晚会现场。beproudof因……骄傲dreamofdoingsth.梦想做某事③Downfellthemirror,breakingintopieces.镜子掉了下来，摔成了碎片。11/11PassageC阅读理解DwightW.MorrowwasanAmericanambassador(大使)toMexicoduringthe1920s.Heisrememberedasasmartdiplomat(外交家).①Heisalsorememberedbyhisfamilyandfriendsforhisabsentmindedness(心不在焉).Oncewhileonatrain,aconductorcametoMorrow,askingforhisticket.Hebegantosearchhispockets.Noticketappeared.Morrowbegansearchinghissuitcase.“Nevermind,sir.”saidthecond
