第15題(2007年普通高等學(xué)校夏季招生考試英語(yǔ)(四川卷))E
I entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings,pieces of information,ideas,themes—anything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that a person could not have a "complicated(復(fù)雜的)idea" until he had read at least two thought books,I heard the words without recognizing either its irenic(嘲諷)or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the looks I had ever read. Strict with myself,I in chided only once a title I might have read several times.(How,after all. could one read a book more than once ) And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book )
There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the "hundred most important books of Western Civilization." "More than anything else in my life," the professor told the reporter with finality, "these books have made me all that I am." That was the kind of words I couldn't ignore(忽視).I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course , I hardly understood. While reading Plato's The Republic, for example, I needed to keep booking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition(迷信) of a schoolboy ,I looked at every word of the text. And by the time I reached the last word. pleased. I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.
71.On hearing the teacher's suggestion of reading, the writer thought___________.
A. one must read as many books as possible
B. a student should not have a complicated idea
C. it was impossible for one to read two thousand books
D. students ought to make a list of the books they had read
72. While at high school, the writer ______________.
A. had plans for reading B. learned to educate himself
C. only read book over 100 pages D. read only one book several times
73.The underlined please "with finality "probably means "__________".
A. firmly B. clearly C. proudly D. pleasantly
74.The writer's purpose in mentioning The Republic is to _____________.
A. explain why it was included in the list B. describe why he seriously crossed it off the list
C. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understand
D. prove that he understand most of it because he had looked at every word
75. The writer provides two book lists to _______________.
A. show how be developed his point of view B. tell his reading experience at high school
C. introduce the two persons' reading methods D. explain that he read many books at high school
答案

解析:這是一道推斷題.根據(jù)"I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read."可知作者根據(jù)老師的話列了一個(gè)書單,也就是說(shuō)作者認(rèn)為應(yīng)該多讀書.
72. A
解析:這是一道推斷題.根據(jù)第二段"That was the kind of words I couldn't ignore (忽視).I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles."可知作者根據(jù)英語(yǔ)教授的推薦列了自己要讀的書單,制定了讀書計(jì)劃.
73. A
解析:這是一道詞義猜測(cè)題.根據(jù)教授的話"these books have made me all that I am."可知他對(duì)于推薦的書是很推崇的,所以他的推薦是堅(jiān)決的.
74. C
解析:這是一道推理題.根據(jù)后一段"Most books,of course,I hardly understood.While reading Plato's The Republic,for example,"可知作者提到The Republic是為了作為一個(gè)例子說(shuō)明作者的書單里面很多書看不懂.

第16題(2007年普通高等學(xué)校夏季招生考試英語(yǔ)(四川卷))B
Jim suffered heart problems. In conversation he expressed little joy and it seemed that his life was drawing to a close.
When his heart problems led to operation, Jim went through it successfully, and a full recovery was expected. Within days, however, his heart was not beating properly. Jim was rushed back to operation, but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness. He died on the operating table on the day before his 48th birthday.
Dr. Bruce Smaller, a psychologist (心理學(xué)家), had had many conversations with him, and the more he learned, the stranger he realized Jim's case was. When Jim was a child, his father, a teacher, suffered a heart attack and stayed home to recover. One morning Jim asked his father to look over his homework, promising to come home from school at noon to pick it up. His father agreed, but when Jim returned his father had died. Jim's father was 48.
"I think all his life Jim believed he killed his father," Dr. Smoller says."He felt that if he had not asked him to, too. at his homework,his father would have lived. Jim had been troubled by the idea. The operation was the trial(判決) he had expected for forty years." Smoller believes that Jim willed himself not to live to the age of 48.
Jim's case shows the powerful role that attitude (態(tài)度) plays m physical health, and that childhood experiences produce far-reaching effect on the health of grown-ups. Although most cases are less direct than Jim's, studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife diseases as cancer, heart disease and mental illness.
59. Jim was sent back to operation because__________.
A. his heart didn't work well B. he expected a full recovery
C. his life was drawing to a close D. the first one wasn't well performed
60. What made Dr. Smaller feel strange about Jim's case
A. Jim died at a young age. B. Jim died on the operating table.
C. Both Jim and his father died of the same disease.
D. Jim's death is closely connected with his father's.
61. From Smoller's words, we can infer that__________.
A. Jim's father cared little about his study B. Smoller agreed that Jim did kill his father
C. Jim thought he would be punished some day D. Smoller believed Jim wouldn't live to the age of 48
62. Which of the following could have strong effect on one's physical health according to the text
a. One's genes.
b. One's life in childhood.
c. One's physical education.
d. The date of one's birthday.
e. The opinions one has about something.
A. a, b, d B. a, b, e C. a, c, e D b, c, d
答案
59. A
解析:這是一道細(xì)節(jié)推斷題.根據(jù)第二段"Within days,however,his heart was not beating properly.Jim was rushed back to operation"可知手術(shù)后Jim的心臟跳動(dòng)不正常,所以再次手術(shù).
60. D
解析:這是一道歸納題.從第三段和第四段可以分析出,Jim一直認(rèn)為自己導(dǎo)致了父親的死,所以他認(rèn)為也只能活到48歲,Jim的死和他父親的死有很大關(guān)系,這點(diǎn)讓Smoller教授感到吃驚.
61. C
解析:這是一道推理題.根據(jù)第四段"Jim had been troubled by the idea. The operation was the trial he had expected for forty years."可知這個(gè)手術(shù)是Jim等待了40年的判決,也就是說(shuō)Jim一直認(rèn)為自己殺死了父親,會(huì)受到懲罰.
62. B
解析:這是一道歸納題.根據(jù)后一段"Jim's case shows the powerful role that attitude plays in physical health...studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife diseases as cancer, heart disease and mental illness."可知影響身體狀況的有3個(gè)因素:態(tài)度,童年時(shí)期的事情和基因.
第17題(2007年普通高等學(xué)校夏季招生考試英語(yǔ)(重慶卷))C
Dear all,
Please read Professor Hume's email about his next lecture on Rosa Parks.
Susan Miller
Secretary
***************************************
Dear Susan,
Please forward this message to students of my history class.
Besides the life story of Rosa Parks in the textbook,the students are also required to read the passage below and some related stories that can be borrowed from the school library.
Ted Hume
The early experiences of Rosa Parks(1913-2005),long known as the "mother of the civil rights movement." were not different from those of many African-Americans at that time. The black woman,however,turned the course of American history in December 1955 when she refused to give up her scat on a bus to a white man. "By sitting down." remarked John Lewis,"she was standing up for all Americans."
Among the numerous awards Parks received in her life were the Presidential Medal of Freedom(1996)and the Congressional Gold Medal(1999).
Parks died on Oct.24,2005,At St. Paul A,M,E,Church in Montgomery,a large crowd including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice celebrated her life. Rice said she and others,who grew up when the political activities of Parks held public attention. might not have realized her impact(影響)on their lives,"but I can honestly say that without Mrs. Parks,I probably would not be standing here as Secretary of State."
After her casket(靈柩)was placed at the Capitol. U.S. President Bush,members of Congress and ordinary Americans paid their respects. In American history Parks is the first woman to lie in state at the Capitol,a very high regard usually reserved for Presidents of the United States.
63. What is the main purpose of Susan's email
A. To make arrangements for Professor Hume's class.
B. To introduce to the students Rosa Parks.
C. To help the students organize a lecture. D. To answer Professor Hume's last email.
64. What does the underlined word "forward" mean
A. Explain. B. Send. C. Take. D. Read.
65. The political impact of lose Parks lies in the fact that she ___________.
A. helped Condoleezza Rice achieve political success
B. joined the civil rights movement at a young age
C. made racial equality a common value in American society
D. set a good example in her early life for other black Americans
66. How was Rosa Parks treated after her death

B. She was received by President Bush at the Capitol.
C. She was given the President Medal of Freedom.
D. She was honored to lie in state at the Capitol.
答案
63. A
解析:這是一道主旨題.從文章的第一部分可以看出Susan轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)了Hume教授的郵件,郵件的內(nèi)容是安排大家閱讀一個(gè)課外讀物.
64. B
解析:這是一道詞義猜測(cè)題.從Susan的郵件可以看出Hume教授是希望Susan把這個(gè)郵件傳達(dá)給所有班上的同學(xué),所以forward的意思是"傳達(dá),轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)"的意思.
65. C
解析:這是一道歸納題.從第三段"The black woman,however,turned the course of American history in December 1955 when she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man."可以看出Rosa Parks的政治影響是促進(jìn)了種族平等,她的行為改變了美國(guó)的歷史進(jìn)程.
66. D
解析:這是一道推斷題.根據(jù)后一句"In American history Parks is the first woman to lie in state at the Capitol,a very high regard usually reserved for Presidents of the United States."可知她被葬在國(guó)會(huì)大廈,通常總統(tǒng)才能有這個(gè)待遇.
第18題(2007年普通高等學(xué)校夏季招生考試英語(yǔ)(山東卷新課標(biāo)))A
A month after Hurricane Katrina, I returned home in New Orleans. There lay my house,
reduced to waist-high ruins, smelly and dirty.
Before the trip, I'd had my car fixed. When the office employee of the garage was writing up
the bill, she noticed my Louisiana license plate. "You from New Orleans " she asked. I said I was,
"No charge." She said, and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet. The next day I
went for a haircut, and the same thing happened.
As my wife was studying in Florida, we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage(抵押貸款)on our ruined house. We looked at many places, but none was satisfactory. We'd began to accept that we'd have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while, when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kennedy in California. He'd read some pieces I'd written about our sufferings for Slate, the online magazine and wanted to give us ("no conditions attached") a new house across the lake from New Orleans.
It sounded too good to be true, but I replied, thanking him for his exceptional generosity, that we had no plan go back. Then a poet at the University of Florida offered to let his house to me. While he want to England on his one-year paid leave. The rent was rather reasonable. I mentioned the poet's offer to James Kennedy, and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months.
Throughout this painful experience , the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity .It's almost worth losing you worldly possessions to be reminded that people really when given half a chance.
56.The garage employee's attitude toward the author was that of _______.
A.unconcern B.sympathy C.doubt D.tolerance
57.What do we know about James Kennedy
A.He was a writer of an online magazine. B.He was a poet at the University of Florida

58.It can be inferred from the text that _______.
A.the author's family was in financial difficulty
B.rents were comparatively reasonable despite the disaster
C.houses were difficult to find in the hurricane-stricken area
D.the mortgage on the ruined house was paid off by the bank
59.The author learned from his experience that _______.
A.worldly possessions can be given up when necessary
B.generosity should be encouraged some cases C.people benefit from their sad stories
D.human beings are kind after all.
答案
56. B
解析:這是一道推斷題.根據(jù)第二段"I said I was,'No Charge.' She said,and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet."可知修車店的員工聽說(shuō)作者從新奧爾良來(lái),不收作者的錢,是同情作者.(新奧爾良剛遭受臺(tái)風(fēng)襲擊)
57. C
解析:這是一道推斷題.根據(jù)第三段"He'd read some pieces I'd written about our sufferings for slate,the online magazine and wanted to give us ('no conditions attached') a new house across the lake from New Orleans."可知他想向作者免費(fèi)提供一所新房子.
58. A
解析:這是一道推理題.根據(jù)第三段"we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage on our ruined house."可知作者要租房子又要還貸款,經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況不好.
59. D
解析:這是一道推理題.根據(jù)后一段"Throughout this painful experience,the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity."可知雖然作者經(jīng)歷了自然災(zāi)難,但是陌生的好心人讓作者又對(duì)人的慈善又重新樹立了信心,說(shuō)明作者認(rèn)為人還是善良的.
第19題(2007年普通高等學(xué)校夏季招生考試英語(yǔ)(海南,寧夏卷新課標(biāo)))A
It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品雜貨),saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性)as a whole. And it has influenced(影響)us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
56. Why was the bike so important to the couple
A. The man's job was bike racing. B. It was their only possession.
C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D. They used it for work and daily life.
57. We can infer from the text that ____________.
A. the couple worked 60 hours a week. B. people were busy before Christmas
C. the stranger brought over the bike D. life was hard for the young family.
58. How did people get to know the couple's problem
A. From radio broadcasts. B. From a newspaper.
C. From TV news. D. From a stranger.
59. What do the couple learn from their experience
A. Strangers are usually of little help. B. One should take care of their bike.
C. News reports make people famous. D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.
答案
56. D
解析:這是一道歸納題.根據(jù)第二段"Trevor used it to get to work...And the bike was also used to get groceries,"可知自行車是Trevor家工作和日常生活的交通工具.
57. D
解析:這是一道推理題.根據(jù)第一段"While most people were warming up their cars,Trevor,my husband,had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work."可知大部分人都開車,而Trevor要早起騎車去工作,可以看出Trevor家不富裕.
58. B
解析:這是一道推斷題.根據(jù)第三段"I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story."可知作者把自行車被盜的事情告訴了報(bào)紙,所以人們是在報(bào)紙上知道這個(gè)故事的.
59. D
解析:這是一道歸納題.根據(jù)后兩句"No matter how big or how small,an act of kindness shows that someone cares.And the results can be everlasting."可知善行無(wú)論大小,作用是巨大的.
第20題(2007年普通高等學(xué)校春季招生考試英語(yǔ)(上海卷))
Making fists is relaxing. It dictates the shape of the immediate future; it calms you down (it's OK, it's on a list somewhere) and it makes you feel good when you cross something off 0ist-making is standard practice in therapy for depression). It might even help you to get things done too. The more you have to do, the more you need a list and few people with high-powered jobs get by without them. Women always think they're better at lists than men. Men tend to have Tasks which they assemble' into Action Plans whereas women just have lists of Things To Do.
James Oliver, psychologist, has created his own "time management matrix (模式)". He writes a list of things to do and then organizes them into categories: things that have to be done straight away, other things that it would be good to do today, things that are important but haven't got to be done immediately and things that are less urgent but that he doesn't want to forget. "Using categories to order the world is the way the human mind works," he says. "After that, you should divide things into levels of importance." But he also warns, "If people get too absorbed in making fists, it doesn't work. They have too many categories and lose their ability to decide which is the most important."
It's all a question of what works best for you, whether it's a tidy notebook, a packet of Post-it notes or the back of your hand. Having tried all these, student Kate Rollins relies on a computerized list, which is printed out each morning. "My electronic organizer has changed my life," she says. "Up to now, I've always relied on my good memory, but now that I'm working and studying, I find I've got too much to keep in my head."
So what are you waiting for No, you're not too busy to make today the first day of your upgraded time-managed life. In fact, there's no better time titan the present to begin to take increased control of your work and life. So, get out your pencil and pen and make a list.
72.The main purpose of making lists is to .
A.help map out one's future B.divide things into levels of importance
C.treat certain diseases such as depression D.organize one's work and life reasonably
73.We can learn from the passage that .
A.good memory helps in list making B.too much' listing might be misleading
C.women usually make a lot more lists than men
D.people with high-powered jobs make lists most
74.The word "categories" in paragraph 2 most probably has the same meaning as" ".
A.groups B.portions C.items D.areas
75.In this passage the author intends to .
A.suggest a way of raising one's living standard B.introduce some ways of business management
C.urge people to develop the habit of listing D.warn people not to rely on their memory
答案
72—75:DBAC
