英语试卷

第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分 50 分）

第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

My Favourite Books

Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series(系列) of

lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.

Matilda

Roald Dahl

I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl’s writing and it gave me a

new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda’s battles with her cruel parents and

the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, are equally funny and frightening, but they’re also

aspirational.

After Dark

Haruki Murakami

It’s about two sisters—Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping, and Mari, a

young student. In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts changing her life and discovers a

world of diverse “night people” who are hiding secrets.

Gone Girl

Gillian Fynn

There was a bit of me that didn’t want to love this when everyone else on the planet did, but

the horror story is brilliant. There’s tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy

battle for your trust. It’s a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what’s going on is

horribly enjoyable.

The Stand

Stephen King

This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu

outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world’s population, a battle unfolds between good and evil

among those left. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.

1. Who does “I” refer to in the text?

A. Stephen King. B. Gillian Flynn.

C. Jo Usmar. D. Roald Dahl.

2. Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri?

A. Cosmopolitan. B. Matilda.

C. After Dark. D. The Stand.

3. What kind of book is Gone Girl?

A. A folk tale. B. A biography.

C. A love story. D. A horror story.

【答案】1. C 2. C 3. D

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了作家 Jo Usmar 选出的四本好书。

【1题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段 Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book

Will series(系列) of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.可知，下文介绍作家 Jo Usmar

选出的最好的读物，所以下文中的“I”指的是 Jo Usmar。故 C选项正确。

【2题详解】

细节理解题。根据 After Dark 中It’s about two sister—Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t

stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student.可知，故事讲的是两个姐妹——Eri 是一个要么不睡

要么一觉不醒的模特，玛丽，是一个年轻学生。所以 After Dark 中讲述了 Eri 和Mari 的故

事。故 C选项正确。

【3题详解】

细节理解题。由 Gone Girl 中的...but the horror story is brilliant.可知，这是一个恐怖故事。

故D选项正确。

Nowadays, many of us spend about 10 hours a day in front of a Computer or other electronic

devices and less than 30 minutes a day outdoors. The result is that our Brain easily feels tired. We

need to give the brain a rest, but how?

David Strayer is a professor of psychology at the University of Utah. He claims that camping

may be just what a tech-tired brain needs. His argument finds strong support from Carl and Kate,

two experienced campers. Carl, who works for a mobile phone company, says that being outdoors

makes him feel relaxed. It also prepares him for the work he must do. "Camping gives us a chance

to be in touch with nature and it's very relaxing. When you return to work on Monday, you're in a

better state of mind. I really like the way I feel on Monday. Kate is a senior editor. She says

camping brings her some peace she couldn't have otherwise. She even finds herself more creative.

David Strayer explains that camping allows close contact with nature and being in nature

calms the brain and helps it to focus. When people go camping, they need to learn about animals

and natural environments; they have to deal with the weather, learn to stay dry in the rain or warm

in the snow and have to keep the feet in good condition when hiking and walking.

Some might say that taking a long walk in the woods or by the ocean or in a city park is

wonderful, too. But camping requires that one spend more time in nature and it can test him in

different ways. And it brings more health benefit as well.

4. What is the result of using electronic devices too much?

A. We will waste time. B. Our brain will feel tired.

C. Our study will be influenced. D. Our brain will be refreshed.

5. How does Carl feel after camping?

A. Warm B. Calm

C. Relaxed D. Peaceful

6. Why does the author take Carl and Kate as examples?

A. To share a good camping site. B. To share their work experiences.

C. To show their interest in camping. D. To show advantages of camping

7. Which of the following is the benefit of camping?

A. It helps protect the environment. B. It helps us learn more about nature.

C. It teaches us to keep warm in the rain. D. It teaches us to avoid difficult

situations.

8. What is the author’s attitude towards camping?

A. Positive. B. Negative.

C. Uninterested. D. Doubtful.

【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B 8. A
