内容提要：2013高考英语阅读理解备考题库（含详解）（一）

You know how wonderful you are, and you know that others know how wonderful you are, but what do you do when admiration crosses over the line into jealousy? For most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship. When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do, but the good news is that there is. Don’t let jealousy spoil your relationships. Tackle it headon and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.
It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is, but if you want to save your friendship you’ll have to do just that. Don’t approach them and ask why they are jealous of you (unless of course you want to appear totally conceited), just take some time alone with them and let them know that you’ve been feeling like there’s been something coming between you. If they refuse to respond, then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling. Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.
When you figure out what is annoying your friend, ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better. If, for example, (s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn’t get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from tee swim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you. Remember, though, that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise. Don’t limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy. Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.
Even the best of friendships can be tinged by jealousy. This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies. Before taking extreme action, chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise.If you can’t, be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friendand how far you won’t.

Audrey Hepburn won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her first major American movie, Roman Holiday, which was released in 1953. But she is remembered as much for her aid work as for her acting.
Born in Belgium in 1929, Audrey’ s father was British and her mother was Dutch.
Audrey was sent to live at a British school for part of her childhood. During World War II , she lived and studied in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks. Audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college when she returned to London after the war. But she realized she wasn’ t going to be a ballerina. So she began taking acting parts in stage shows. Later she began to get small parts in movies.
But it was Audrey Hepburn’ s move to America that brought her true fame. In 1951 she played the character “Gigi” in the Broadway play of the same name to great critical praise. Two years later, Roman Holiday made her a star at the age of 24.
Audrey made more than 25 movies. Among her most popular roles was Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s in 1961. Three years later she played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.
She was married two times and had one son by each husband. In 1989, the UN Children’ s Fund named Audrey a goodwill ambassador. She travelled all over the world in support of UNICEF projects. The UN agency said she was a tireless worker. She often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for UNICEF projects.
Audrey Hepburn often said her loyalty to UNICEF was the result of her experiences as a child during World War Ⅱ. She said she knew what it was like to be starving and to be saved by international aid. She was a goodwill ambassador until her death in 1993 from colon cancer.
[语篇解读] 本文介绍著名影星Audrey Hepburn(奥黛丽•赫本)的生平事迹。1953年主演的《罗马假日》使她一举成名。从1989年直至1993年去世，赫本一直担任联合国儿童基金会的特使，为拉美和非洲儿童提供了很大帮助。

[解析] 推理判断题。此题应根据全文内容来判断。第一段是全文的概括，其重心在后面，即奥黛丽•赫本尽管获得奥斯卡最佳女主角奖，但她担当的援助工作同样使人铭记。再结合文章接下来的叙述可知答案为D。
[答案] D
2．The reason why Audrey lived and studied in the Netherlands was that ________.

The world is not coming to an end on December 21, 2012, the US space agency insisted Monday in a rare campaign to dispel widespread rumors fueled by the Internet and a new Hollywood movie.
The latest big screen offering from Sony Picture, 2012, arrives in theaters on Friday, with a 200milliondollar production about the end of the world supposedly based on myths (虚构的故事) backed by the Mayan calendar. It is claimed that the end of time will come as a Planet X — or Nibiru — heads toward or collides with the Earth.
Some websites accuse NASA of hiding the truth on the planet’ s existence, but the US space agency denounced such stories as an “Internet hoax(恶作剧) ”. “There is no factual basis for these claims，” NASA said in a questionandanswer posting on its website. “If such a collision were real, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012，” it insisted. “After all, our planet has been getting along just well for more than four billion years，” added NASA.
There is another planet, Eris, floating in space. But the small planet similar to Pluto will remain safely fixed in the outer solar system and it can come no closer than four billion miles to the Earth, according to NASA.
Initial theories set the disaster for May 2003, but when nothing happened the date was moved forward to the winter in 2012 to coincide with the end of a cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar.
NASA insisted the Mayan calendar in fact does not end on December 21, 2012, as another period begins immediately afterward.
And even if the planets were to line up as some have forecast, the effect on our planet would be “negligible”， NASA said.
“And while comets and asteroids (小行星) have always hit the Earth, big hits are very rare，” NASA noted. The last major impact was believed to be 65 million years ago，resulting in the end of dinosaurs.
“We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs，” the space agency said.
[语篇解读] 好莱坞灾难大片《2012》使网络上盛传的“2012年12月21日为世界末日”这一所谓的玛雅预言再次进入人们的视野。为此，美国宇航局重申，2012年12月21日并不是世界末日，传言中的X星球将与地球相撞也并不属实。
1．________played a key role in the spread of the rumors.
A. A new book
B. The Internet and a new Hollywood movie

2．The film 2012 is________.
A. about the end of the world
B. based on the scientific prediction
C. well accepted in the science field
D. about a romantic love story
[解析] 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知《2012》这部电影是关于世界末日的。根据文章内容可先排除D项；由第二段中based on myths(虚构的故事)可知B项错误；由宇航局的讲话可推出C项错误。
[答案] A
3．We can infer that________.
A. people didn’t take the rumor seriously
B. Planet X — or Nibiru does exist
C. astronomers have been tracking Planet X for over ten years
D. the rumor caused a panic among some people
[解析] 推理判断题。根据the US space agency insisted Monday in a rare campaign to dispel widespread rumors可知谣言传播之广以至于美国宇航局不得不出来辟谣，由此可见事态严重，故可判断谣言有可能造成了一些人的恐慌。
[答案] D
4．NASA thinks that Eris________.
A. might pose a threat to the Earth
B. doesn’t pose any threat to the Earth
C. is too far away to be visible
D. is similar to our planet, where life might exist

[答案] B
5. Which of the following is the best title?
A. New Hollywood movie 2012
B. December 21, 2012, NOT the end of the world
C. End of the ancient Mayan calendar
D. How rumors came into being
[解析] 主旨大意题。本文主要讲美国宇航局驳斥“2012年12月21日是世界末日”的谣言。故B项为最佳标题。
[答案] B
[长难句解读] The latest big screen offering from Sony Picture, 2012, arrives in theaters on Friday, with a 200milliondollar production about the end of the world supposedly based on myths(虚构的故事) backed by the Mayan calendar.
本句为简单句。句子的主语为The latest big screen offering，意为“最新银幕作品”。介词短语“with a．..”作状语。过去分词短语supposedly based on myths作定语，修饰the end of the world。过去分词短语backed by the Mayan calendar作定语，修饰myths。

In the quest for better health, many people turn to doctors, selfhelp books or herbal supplements. But they overlook a powerful weapon that could help them fight illness and depression, speed recovery, slow aging and prolong life: their friends.
Researchers are only now starting to pay attention to the importance of friendship and social networks in overall health. A 10year Australian study found that older people with a large circle of friends were 22 percent less likely to die during the study period than those with fewer friends. A large 2007 study showed an increase of nearly 60 percent in the risk for obesity among people whose friends gained weight. And last year, Harvard researchers reported that strong social ties could promote brain health as we age.
“In general, the role of friendship in our lives isn’ t well appreciated，” said Rebecca G. Adams, a professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro. “There are a lot of things on families and marriage, but very little on friendship. It baffles me. Friendship has a bigger impact on our psychological wellbeing than family relationships.”
Bella DePaulo, a visiting psychology professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, whose work focuses on single people and friendships, notes that in many studies, friendship has an even greater effect on health than a spouse or a family member.
It isn’ t entirely clear why friendship has such a big effect. It may be because people with strong social ties also have better access to health services and care. Beyond that, however, friendship clearly has a profound psychological effect. People with strong friendships are less likely than others to get colds, perhaps because they have lower stress levels.
Last year, researchers studied 34 students at the University of Virginia, taking them to the base of a steep hill and fitting them with a weighted backpack. They were then asked to estimate the steepness of the hill. Some participants stood next to friends during the exercise, while others were alone.
The students who stood with friends gave lower estimates of the steepness of the hill. And the longer the friends had known each other, the less steep the hill appeared.
“People with stronger friendship networks feel like there is someone they can turn to，” said Karen A．Roberto, director of the center for gerontology (老年医学) at Virginia Tech.“ Friendship is an undervalued resource. The consistent message of these studies is that friends make your life better.”

Angus MacLeod was fifty and he had spent his entire life as a shepherd in the remote mountainous region of northwest Scotland. He had never owned a radio or television nor had he travelled further than forty kilometres from his birthplace. His knowledge of the world was gained only from his brief trips to the village to sell his sheep and buy food. However, he had lately come to rely on the growing number of hillwalkers in the region as sources of international news.
In the spring of 1992, a Spanish student came across Angus high in the mountains. Eager to practise his English he engaged Angus in conversation. The student told Angus of the forthcoming Olympic Games in Barcelona. Excited by the student’s colourful description of Spain and the Games, Angus decided to attend the event in person and two months later arrived in Barcelona.
The ticketless Angus stood outside the stadium with his canny brain working overtime，watching a growing number of individuals entering the stadium through a small entrance at the side. He noticed that they all seemed to be carrying objects. Perhaps they were workmen, he thought. He moved closer and watched.
Within minutes a thin young man came along carrying an extremely long pole. He approached the official at the door and said “Pole Vault”. The official moved to the side and the man entered. Next came a heavyset man with a spear. Angus wondered how a man could carry such a dangerous weapon in a modern city. The man shouted “Javelin” and was presently admitted. Angus was puzzled. Perhaps they were all connected with security. His puzzlement grew when a huge man appeared with a steel ball in his hand. He shouted “Shot Putt” and walked past the official.
It suddenly dawned on Angus that these people were competitors. He opened his programme and sure enough under the heading “events” he saw the three words the men had said. Angus laughed to himself as a plan began to take shape in his mind. First he needed to buy one or two things.
An hour later he reappeared dressed in a tracksuit with “Scotland” written across the chest.Over his shoulder he carried a roll of barbed wire (铁丝网). Smiling to himself he walked up to the official and as casually as he could, shouted, “Fencing！”
1. Which was Angus’ new way of getting information about the outside world?

B. the Spanish student’s description of his country excited Angus

[答案] B
4. From the passage we know that Angus seemed to be________.
A. poorlyinformed B. intelligent
C. strongminded D. athletic

5. What do you expect the official would do in the end?

B. Refuse to let him in.

U.S. President Barack Obama said Friday on campaign trail he can make the case for a second term, and voters will come to see him as the candidate best prepared to serve as president by next year’s elections, according to an interview he gave to the U.S. media.
In an exclusive interview he gave the Associated Press, Obama acknowledged that the state of the economy could be his biggest hurdle to clear in winning reelection.
“I think the economy's going to continue to improve, and I think I'm going to be able to make an effective case that... I am the person who is best prepared to finish the job so that we are on track to succeed in the 21st century,” Obama said in the video interview conducted in Chicago, where he attended fund-raising events the previous night.
“I think I can make that case, and I think that, in the debates that take place over the next 18 months, the American people will feel that I deserve a second term,” he said.
Chicago is Obama’s home, and the president’s reelection campaign headquarters is also located there. He made the reelection announcement on April 4. According to a Gallup poll released on Friday, Obama’s approval rating stood at 41 percent, an all time low. Gallup said the figure was fueled by economic dissatisfaction.

Acting legend Elizabeth Taylor has passed away. She leaves behind her own life-long movie of ups and downs, marriage and divorce, and sickness and recovery. The world of entertainment is mourning the death of the last classic movie star.
Taylor died of congestive heart failure in Los Angeles at the age of 79.
Taylor's more than 50 movies included unforgettable portraits of innocence and of decadence(堕落), from the children's classic "National Velvet"《玉女神驹》to Oscar-winning transgressions in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" 《谁怕弗吉尼亚•澳尔夫》and "Butterfield 8"《巴塔费尔德第八》.
Fans gathered on Hollywood's Walk of Fame to pay tribute（讼词） to the actress. They placed tributes on her star and recalled about highlights of her career.
Sandra, Hollywood, California, said, "Well, she just led an amazing life, and she went out with style."
Phil Schuman, Repor ter of KTTV in Los Angeles, said, "Well, I mean, her whole life story: child star, remarkably beautiful, all the marriages, almost dying, then all of her great work with AIDS research, Michael Jackson's best friend. It's just a one-of-a-kind story, I think."
Taylor was not only the most blessed actress, but also the most loyal of friends and defender of homosexuals in Hollywood. She won a special Oscar, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for her efforts to support AIDS research.
"Is this something that we can bear? No. The AIDS crisis is not over." Taylor once said.
Taylor's private life is also a legend. She was a star at age 12, a bride and a divorcee at 16, a superstar at 19 and a widow at 26. She has married 8 times. One of her former husbands, former U.S. Senator John Warner, 84, paid tribute to the late star during an event in Washington.

B. She was Michael Jackson's best f riend.
C. Her movie "National Velvet" won Oscar.
D. She died of congestive heart failure at the age of 79.

A. Fans were very glad to know Elizabeth Taylor’s death
B. Taylor made great efforts in the research of AIDS
C. The world were sad for losing the famous actress

【解析】选B。作者态度判断题。根据文中作者引用了Sandra等人的话，所以推出作者态度是客观的。

Over 500 dogs being delivered to a butcher house were saved by a Chinese animal protection organization.
The incident then triggered debate among Chinese netizens about the necessity of pouring so much money and efforts into saving dogs.
On Friday, a truck loaded with over 500 dogs were stopped by volunteers from animal protection organization on Jingha expressway Beijing section.
Beijing Times reported these dogs were being delivered to slaughter houses in the city of Changchun, northeast Jilin province and would be eventually served on dinner tables.
After negotiations with the truck driver, pet service provider Leepet Holding Corp. and a philanthropic fo undation, Shangshan Foundation purchased these dogs, each paying 50,000 yuan. Dogs were then delivered to the headquarter of China Small Animal Protection Association (CS APA), being taken care of and waiting for adoption.
After the “dog saving mission” was reported, Chinese net users debate over whether saving dogs worth s o much efforts and money while there are still many poor and needy people in China lacking assistance.
Some net users argue the dog saving mission is placing overt attention to animals while lots of needy people are still left unattended.
A microblogger “Xiaowulaitajie” said on China’s twitter-like website, weibo.com, “Dogs are saved, adopted and they attracted media spotlight. We'd better spend such money and take such efforts in helping the needy people.”
Another microblogger, Liluping, said "We poured such huge sum of money into saving dogs. I would rather the money be spent on disaster relief."
Some applaud volunteers’ actions and show eagerness of offering their helping hands to those saved dogs.
Still many disapprove those "saving dogs" critics, but they argue that such act nonetheless embodies social progress.
A microblogger named "broken bridge" said, saving dogs does not run counter to taking care of people. Such enthusiasm in public affairs will help raise social awareness in helping the needy.
I think people and animals are created equal .Attention should be paid to people as well as animals.
1. Where did the article come from ___________?
A. newspaper B. internet C. a TV programme D. a magazine
【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据“Some net users argue the dog saving mission is placing overt attention to animals while lots of needy people are still left unattended.”和文中几次提到的“microblogger”可知：文章来自网络。

A. promote B. accommodate C. emphasize D. stop
【解析】选 A。词义猜测题。根据句意：有些人虽然不赞成拯救这些狗的人，但是他们认为这样的事仍然能促进社会进步。
3. Whose opinion is closest to the writer's?
A. Some net users' B. Xiaowulaitajie's
C. Liluping's D. Broken bridge's
【解析】选 D。细节判断题。因为A,B,C三项的人物的观点都只说了一个方面，都显得片面，D项的人物的观点是：拯救狗和照顾人不矛盾，与作者的观点：人和动物是平等的最相近。
4. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A. All the people think it right to save these dogs with so much money.
B. These dogs were finally saved and sent back to their owners.
C. Some volunteers support the actions to save these dogs and the people who offered their helping hands to those saved dogs.
D. 100,000 yuan was given to the truck driver to purchase these dogs.
【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据“After negotiations with the truck driver, pet service provider Leepet Holding Corp. and a philanthropic foundation, Shangshan Foundation purchased these dogs, each paying 50,000 yuan.”可知D项是对的。
