2014年高考英語:定量練習可以鞏固所學知識

定量練習可以鞏固所學知識，提高閱讀理解能力，增加詞匯量，加強對語法的掌握。但是，平時的作業和練習一定要限時定量少參考。平時做提時，不能不限時間，做停停，再查資料甚至翻字典。要限時記時，逐步養成在單位時間內思考和回答問題的好習慣，在一段時間和高壓下培養自己的判斷力。關于2014年高考英語的更多信息，請登錄祝福網英語頻道，歡迎收藏本站(CTRL D可以收藏)！

(2013·新課程標準全國卷)It happened to me recently.I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama"s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President.A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was，in his words，“a brilliantly(精彩地) written book”.However，he then went on to talk about Mr.Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.

And it seems that my friend is not the only one.Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven"t.In the World Book Day"s “Report on Guilty Secrets”，Dreams From My Father is at number 9.The report lists ten books，and various authors，which people have lied about reading，and as I"m not one to lie too often (I"d hate to be caught out)，I"ll admit here and now that I haven"t read the entire top ten.But I am pleased to say that，unlike 42 percent of people，I have read the book at number one，George Orwell"s 1984.I think it"s really brilliant.

The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it.It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen，Charles Dickens，Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven"t read him，but haven"t lied about it either) and Herman Melville.

Asked why they lied，the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to.This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!

But when asked which authors they actually enjoy，people named J.K.Rowling，John Grisham，Sophie Kinsella (ah，the big sellers，in other words).Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I"ll come clean：I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).

1.How did the author find his friend a book liar?

A.By judging his manner of speaking.

B.By looking into his background.

C.By mentioning a famous name.

D.By discussing the book itself.

解析 推理判斷題。根據文章第一段的最后兩句話“However, he then went on to talk about Mr.Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.”可以推斷，通過討論這本書的內容，作者發現朋友在撒謊，故選D。其中，選項A沒有反映在文章中；選項B偷梁換柱，利用文章中的hiss(Mr.Obama) background迷惑考生；選項C似乎反映在文章的第一段的第二句和第三句話中，但它不能很好地回答問題干中提出的問題，因此被排除在外。其中，選項A沒有反映在文章中；選項B偷梁換柱，利用文章中的hiss(Mr.Obama) background迷惑考生；選項C似乎反映在文章的第一段的第二句和第三句話中，但它不能很好地回答問題干中提出的問題，因此被排除在外。 答案 D

解析 理解問題的細節。根據文章第二段的最后兩句“But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell"s 1984.I think it"s really brilliant.”可知答案。選項A和D中提到的細節出現在文章中，但選項的內容不能從文章中得出結論；選項C的信息作者在本文中沒有描述。

解析 作者態度題。結合文章的大意，以及文章的最后一次出現“...am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so”可以看出，作者對58%的評價 of readers持懷疑態度，因此C項(懷疑)符合文意。選項B(不注意的)，顯然是錯誤的，如果作者不注意，就不會寫這篇文章。 精品小說推薦： 昔日落魄少年被逐出家族，福禍相依得神秘老者相助，從此人生路上一片青雲！ 我行我瀟灑，彰顯我性格！ 彆罵小爺拽，媳婦多了用車載！ 妹紙一聲好歐巴，轉手就是摸摸大！ “不要嘛！” 完整內容請點擊辣手仙醫
