Ⅰ 阅读理解A(2018•成都高三摸底测试)The Scottish composer Evelyn Glennie lost nearly all her hearing as a young girl,yet went on to a very successful career in music including winning Grammy awards.When somebody asks her,“How do you hear?” She responds,“How do you hear?Is it only with your ears?” For Glennie,and for us too,listening is not only hearing,but is understanding.We need to listen to what is said and unsaid,and also how it is said.It’s important to hear what people say accurately.As Mark Twain said,“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug(萤火虫).”If you miss something or you’re not sure you’ve heard accurately,ask the speakers.At this point you’re not evaluating what they say,but just looking for accuracy and understanding.Here are some ways to get clear about what they say and don’t say.Why are they saying this now,instead of sooner or later?Why are they emphasizing these points,instead of something else?Listen to how it is said.People send signals about what they mean with their voices and body language that sometimes differ from the words they say.While going through the next points,think about someone whose real meaning you might sometimes miss,and see if any of these signals might come up.First,voices.When others speak,notice changes in their volume,pace,and tone.Second,body language.Notice gestures,eye contact,and facial expressions.Do these sync what they are saying,or do they tell a different story?Third,emotions.What is the person’s true feeling?Now you might not know for sure,but be considerate,open to understanding,and ask thoughtful questions.【解题导语】 本文讲述了聆听的内涵。我们要听懂说话人想要表达的言外之意,并且要注意说话方式。1.What’s the writer’s purpose of mentioning Evelyn Glennie?A.To give an example of wise words.B.To introduce a worldfamous musician.C.To help explain the meaning of listening.D.To encourage us to fight against disability.C 解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For Glennie,and for us too,listening is not only hearing,but is understanding.”可知,对于Glennie和“我们”来说,聆听不仅是用耳朵听而且是理解,这里说明了聆听的内涵。所以选项C正确。2.What can we learn from what Mark Twain said?A.It is important to have a good knowledge of English words.B.People should know words can be used in many different ways.C.English is a very complicated language with a large vocabulary.D.The slight difference between words may result in misunderstanding.D 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It’s important to hear what people say accurately.”和“At this point you’re not evaluating what they say,but just looking for accuracy and understanding.”可知,准确听懂说话者的意思很重要。因此,选项D “词语的细微差异可能导致误解。”与Mark Twain所说的话意思相吻合。3.What does the underlined word “sync” probably mean?A.Match. B.Prove.C.Describe. D.Analyze.A 解析:词义猜测题。画线词前的修饰词these指代前一句中的“gestures,eye contact,and facial expressions”;再根据画线词后的“what they are saying,or do they tell a different story”可推断,match与画线词意思相近。故选A。4.Which is the best title of this passage?A.Speak While You Listen B.Listen Beyond WordsC.Read Between Lines D.Think as You TalkB 解析:标题归纳题。本文主要说明通过观察说话人的说话方式来听懂说话人想表达的言外之意。所以选B。B(2018•洛阳高三统考)All over the world mothers and fathers teach their children manners.Other children may have manners that are not like yours.There are all kinds of manners.Many years ago,children who had good manners were seen and not heard.They kept quite quiet if grownups were talking. Today, wellmannered children have more freedom.Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places. Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia. Some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud “burp(打嗝)” after you finish eating. Burping would show that you like your food. In some countries, if you give a loud burp, you are told to say “Excuse me, please.” In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat. What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing.Then he will talk to you.Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia.You should walk behind the other tents until you come to his tent.If you pass in front of the other tents,you will be asked into each one.The people will ask you to eat with them.And it is bad manners if you say no.Manners are different all over the world.But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way.People need ways to show that they want to be friends.【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了世界上一些地方的礼仪。5.How did polite children behave in the past?A.By looking into adults’ eyes while talking.B.By keeping silent while adults were talking.C.By slipping into the house without being heard.D.By not opening their mouths until spoken to. B 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的第二句“They kept quite quiet if grownups were talking.”可知,过去,在大人们说话时,儿童保持沉默是一种礼貌的行为。6.Which custom should we follow in order to look wellmannered?A.Saying “Excuse me” on burping in Mongolia.B.Inviting guests to dinner together in Polynesia.C.Talking with a friend before he completes things in East Africa.D.Accepting an eating invitation in Arabia.D 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段的最后两句“The people will ask you to eat with them.And it is bad manners if you say no.”可知,接受阿拉伯人一起吃饭的邀请是礼貌的行为。7.What can we infer from the text?A.Hear much,speak little.B.Love me,love my dog.C.When in Rome do as the Romans do.D.Do what you ought to. C 解析:推理判断题。根据全文内容尤其是最后一段的第一句“Manners are different all over the world.”可推知,礼仪因地域而各有不同,因此最好的做法是入乡随俗。Ⅱ 完形填空(2018•郑州质量预测)I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s.
