参考答案

阅读理解+七选五阅读限时组合练1

I.【语篇导读】本文是一则广告。文章介绍了“BecomingJane”展览的时间、地点、内容

等相关的事宜。

1.B细节理解题。根据第二段中的

”...,BecomingJane',anexhibitinWashington,D.C.throughSeptember7.”可知,展览将在华盛

顿特区持续到9月7日。由此可知，展览是在Washington,D.C.举办的。因此B项正确。

2.C推理判断题。根据第三段中的

41ForthosewhohavefollowedGoodairscareerclosely,therealtreatisseeingherbirthdaygiftsandb

ooksfromherchildhood,fieldnotes,Ph.D.papersandotherpersonalbelongingsandphotos.“可知，

对于那些密切关注古道尔职业生涯的人来说,真正的享受是看到她的生日礼物和童年时

的书籍、野外笔记、博士论文以及其他个人物品和照片。由此可知,JaneGoodall的个人

物品可能最吸引她的追随者。故选C项。

3.B推理判断题。根据第四段可知，参观者将沿着她儿时的梦想逐渐实现的道路,然后是

她对非洲野生森林中的黑猩猩进行实地研究的过程，取得的显著成就，最后是她最近作为

一名动物权利活动家的生活。以及由

"PRICES15;WHENNovember22,2019-September7,2020;LOCATION114517thStreetNWWa

shington,D.C.20036.”可知，这是一则广告,是关于“BecomingJane”展览的广告。故选B项。

【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文。退休砌砖工Joao无意间救了一只身上满是油污濒临死

亡的小企鹅，此后每年,这只小企鹅都要历经5000英里来和它的恩人团聚。

4.B细节理解题。根据第一段第一句

“ThislittleSouthAmericanMagellanicpenguinswims5,000miles,toabeachinBrazil,everyyearino

rdertobereunitedwiththemanwhosaveditslife”可知，这只南美洲的小麦哲伦企鹅每年都要游

5000英里到巴西的一个海滩去见救了它生命的人。据此可知，它每年要游很长的路程是

为了见救它生命的人，故B项正确。

5.A细节理解题。根据第二段第二句

“Thepenguinwascoveredinoilandrunningoutoftimefast”可知，这只企鹅浑身是油，很快就要死

亡，故A项正确。

6.D推理判断题。根据第二段第三、四句

"Joaorescuedthepenguin,namingit…releasethepenguinbackintothewild”可知Joao救了那只企

鹅，给它取名为DinDin,清理掉它羽毛上的油污,每天喂它吃鱼来恢复体力。经过一周的恢

复,Joao试图将其放回野外;第三段表述那只小企鹅不让其他人碰它,但是它会坐在Joa。

的腿上，让Joao给它洗澡,并允许Joao喂它，由此可推知,Joa。的善良赢得了小企鹅的信任,

故D项正确。

7.B主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了退休砌砖工Joao无意间救了一只身上

满是油污濒临死亡的小企鹅，给它喂鱼以让它恢复健康;此后每年,这只小企鹅都会历经

5000英里和它的恩人团聚。据此可知,本文主要表达了人类和野生生物之间的爱，故B项

正确。

【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了闰日的由来以及闰日带来的问题。地球围绕

太阳运转一周的时间间隔约为365.2422天，而日历上每年只有365天，也就是说，每隔4年

日历上就要多出将近一天的时间。为了解决这个余数，每4年会增加一个额外的闰日一即

2月29日。

8.C细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话

“Instead,it'stheretokeepyourcalendarconsistentwiththeearth'srotation（旋转）aroundthesun.”

可知，设立Le叩Day（闰日）是为了让日历更符合地球公转的时间，故选C项。

9.D细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句话

itSomepartyonFebruary28th,whileotherspreferatwo-daycelebrationthatspansthelastdayofFebru

aryandthefirstdayofMarch.”可知,D项正确。

10.C词义猜测题。根据第四段的内容可知,在法律体系中，闰日可能是个麻烦事。2006

年,马萨诸塞州的一家法院讨论是否提前一天释放罪犯约翰•梅洛，因为10年刑期包括闰

日。

11.B推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，虽然少数计时员力推不包括闰日的日历，但是几

乎所有的天文学家和社会团体都认为，闰日是让日历步入正轨的最佳方案。故B项正确。

【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了大象长久以来和人类生活有密切的联系,

但是近年来泰国旅游行业里更多年轻的驯象员的改行导致大象要适应更多的不同的驯

象员，从而增加了大象的压力甚至导致它们被虐待。

12.A细节理解题。根据第二段中的

l'Ownersofelephantshadverylittlechoicebuttotumtotourismtoearnenoughtocareforthemselvesa

ndtheirelephantsbyofferingelephantridingtotourists”可知」989年泰国大象开始进入旅游业，

故A项正确。

13.B推理判断题。根据第四段中的

tlyoungermahoutsinThailandhavebeenmorelikelytoleavethemahoutlifetofindjobs...resultinabus

ebyamahouttryingtomanageanelephantthathasn,tbuiltanyleveloftrustwithhim”可以推断，造

成一些大象受虐待的原因是之前的主人离开了它们，新的主人为了驯服它们而虐待它们，

故B项正确。

14.C主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了大象长久以来和人类生活有密切的联

系，但是近年来旅游行业里大象的遭遇令人担忧;另外，根据最后一段作者表述的对应宣

布骑大象不合法的建议的看法也可判断,C项最适合作本文的标题。

15.A推理判断题。结合上题解析可知，全文主要讲述的是旅游业中大象的悲惨遭遇，因

此作者写这篇文章主要是为了陈述问题。

H.【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了怎样接触英语文学,并为不同水平的读者

提供了阅读建议。

16.F根据前句"Everyoneneedsabreak,andvacationsarenotmeantforseriousstudy.”可知，每个

人都需要休息，假期并不意味着要认真学习。所以此处要与前句为转折关系，来说明假期

是做什么的好时间，故F项“相反，假期是放松看书的好时间”切题。故选F项。

17.G根据前面的句子“Ifyou'reatthebeginnerlevel,there…inChinesetranslation.”可知，如

果你是初学者，有两种选择:读一本儿童读物或读汉语的翻译版本。所以此处要说明这两

种选择的益处，故G项适合此处。

18.B根据后面的句子

“Whenlpickupabooknike,eventhoughthefirstfewchaptersarereallyhardtogetthrough,...”可知,

本段主要在说明要选择感兴趣的书。故B项切题。

19.E根据前句

ltAnothergreatwaytokeepyourselfmotivatedistofindafriendwho,sinterestedinreadingthesame

book.Youcanmakegoalsthatyoubothwanttoachieve,”可知，此处与上一句为并列关系，来共同

说明本段的主题，故E项切题。

20.D根据最后一段的第一句话Somequickrecommendations可知，作者给出了和朋友在

交流的时候,可以先从哪几个方面入手的建议。所以此处要具体说明有哪几个方面。故D

项“你应该找一个你感兴趣的话题或作者，剩下的就从那里开始”切题。
