2022高考英语暑假阅读理解讲练(26)及答案.docx

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
For five days，Edmonton's Downtown Park is transformed into one huge stage where artists are able to share their talents，and where people are able to celebrate and enjoy themselves.Since its beginning in 1980，the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating (纪念) the true feeling of what folk music is all about and that's the traditional togetherness(友爱)that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through song.
This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival.“People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation.”Riedel said.“It's really easy to relax，and it's great seeing family and friends have fun together.”These families and friends come from all different kinds of musical tastes.People who take pleasure in Blues are there，so are people who love Bluegrass.This festival does its best to develop everyone's musical interests.
With so many years of experience，the festival has become a well­oiled machine，and does whatever it can to make attendees feel as comfortable as possible.There are free water stations throughout the venue (举办地) for people to fill up their travel cups.When people buy food，reusable dishes are given a $2 plate fee，but that is returned when the plate is brought back.
The festival has completely sold out of tickets, and in record time.But with big names such as Van Morrison and Jakob Dylan, it's easy to see how that was going to happen.There is no parking area during the festival, so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended.A bike lock­up area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes after the gates close.
The Edmonton Folk Music Festival begins on Wednesday, Aug.4 with Van Morrison playing the special donation fund (基金)concert, and will finish up on Sunday, Aug.8.

科普学问型阅读理解
We have met the enemy, and he is ours.We bought him at a pet shop.When monkey­pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it’s hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings.“Most of the infections (感染) we think of as human infections started in other animals，” says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.

It’s not just that we’re going to where the animals are; we’re also bringing them closer to us.Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country.A strange illness killed Isaksen’s pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea.“I don’t think it’s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them，” says Isaksen.
“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without strict control need changing，” says Peter Schantz.Monkey­pox may be the_wake­up_call.Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners.We know very little about these

new diseases.A new bug (病毒) may be kind at first.But it may develop into something harmful.Monkey­pox doesn’t look a major infectious disease.But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.
(　　)1.We learn from Paragraph 1 that the pet sold at the shop may ________.
A．come from Columbia
B．prevent us from being infected
C．enjoy being with children
D．suffer from monkey­pox

(　　)2.Why did Isaksen advise people not to have foreign pets?
A．They attack human beings.
B．We need to study native animals.
C．They can’t live out of the rain forest.
D．We do not know much about them yet.
(　　)3.What does the phrase “the wake­up call” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A．a new disease
B．a clear warning
C．a dangerous animal
D．a morning call

(　　)4.The text suggests that in the future we ________.
A．may have to fight against more new diseases
B．may easily get infected by diseases from dogs
C．should not be allowed to have pets
D．should stop buying pets from Africa
(　　)5.The last paragraph means ________.
A．we should have laws to stop having pets at home
B．wild animals shouldn’t be adopted as pets
C．laws should be passed to avoid pets’ diseases spreading
D．people with pets should be stayed at home

【解析】饲养宠物可能被传播疾病。猴痘本是非洲雨林中的一种疾病，现在突然毁灭在美国西部的孩子们身上。大多数人们认为只有人类才会感染的疾病其实就是来自动物。国家要制定严格的法律，以防止动物把疾病传播给人类。
　　1．D　依据We have met the enemy, and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey­pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it’s hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings.可推断，从宠物商店购买的动物身上携带疾病。

2．D　依据A strange illness killed Isaksen’s pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea.“I don’t think it’s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them，”可推断。
　　3．B　依据上文，猴痘是一种从非洲的动物身上传播到人类身上的疾病，紧接着作者说这种没有经过严格把握的法律需要转变。最终又以猴痘为例，由此可推断“the wake­up call”表示“一种警示”。

4．A　依据We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug (病毒) may be kind at first. But it may develop into something harmful.可知新的病毒会转化成有害的东西，最终导致人与人的传播，因此我们必需与新的疾病作斗争。
　　5．C　最终一段大意：我们必需转变不检疫而引进野生动物的规定，这样才能避开疾病的传播。

Mark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel.And he surely deserves additional praise：the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism.
I say clever because anti－slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil War.H.B.Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin is only the most famous example.These early stories dealt directly with slavery.With minor exceptions, Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely.He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story.
Again and again，in the postwar years，Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race.Consider the most controversial, at least today, of Twain's novels, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn，Twain's most widely read tale.Once upon a time, people hated the book because it struck them as rude. Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel “trash and suitable only for the slums(贫民窟)．”More recently the book has been attacked because of the character Jim，the escaped slave，and many occurences of the word nigger.(The term Nigger Jim，for which the novel is often severely criticized，never appears in it.)
But the attacks were and are silly—and miss the point.The novel is strongly anti－slavery.Jim's search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic.As J．Chadwick has pointed out, the character of Jim was a first in American fiction—a recognition that the slave had two personalities, “the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual：Jim, the father and the man.”
There is much more.Twain's mystery novel Pudd'nhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day.Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior(低等的)to whites，especially in intelligence，Twain's tale centered in part around two babies switched at birth.A slave gave birth to her master's baby and，for fear that the child should be sold South, switched him for the master's baby by his wife.The slave's light－skinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes and the education of the slave－holding class.The master's wife's baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave.
The point was difficult to miss：nurture(培育)，not nature，was the key to social status.The features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudice—manner of speech，for example—were, to Twain, indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims.
Twain's racial tone was not perfect.One is left uneasy，for example，by the lengthy passage in his autobiography(自传)about how much he loved what were called “nigger shows” in his youth—mostly with white men performing in black－face—and his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them.Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality.His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness that they did not.
Was Twain a racist？Asking the question in the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln.If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the “wisdom” of the considered moral judgments of the present，we will find nothing but error.Lincoln，who believed the black man the inferior of the white, fought and won a war to free him.And Twain, raised in a slave state, briefly a soldier，and inventor of Jim，may have done more to anger the nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century.
65．How do Twain's novels on slavery differ from Stowe's?
A．Twain was more willing to deal with racism.
B．Twain's attack on racism was much less open.
C．Twain's themes seemed to agree with plots.
D．Twain was openly concerned with racism.
66．Recent criticism of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn arose partly from its ________．
A．target readers at the bottom
B．anti－slavery attitude
C．rather impolite language
D．frequent use of “nigger”
67．What best proves Twain's anti－slavery stand according to the author?
A．Jim's search for his family was described in detail.
B．The slave's voice was first heard in American novels.
C．Jim grew up into a man and a father in the white culture.
D．Twain suspected that the slaves were less intelligent.
68．The story of two babies switched mainly indicates that ________．
A．slaves were forced to give up their babies to their masters
B．slaves' babies could pick up slave－holders' way of speaking
C．blacks' social position was shaped by how they were brought up
D．blacks were born with certain features of prejudice
69．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 7 refer to?
A．The attacks.
B．Slavery and prejudice.
C．White men.
D．The shows.
70．What does the author mainly argue for?
A．Twain had done more than his contemporary writers to attack racism.
B．Twain was an admirable figure comparable to Abraham Lincoln.
C．Twain's works had been banned on unreasonable grounds.
D．Twain's works should be read from a historical point of view.
【要点综述】 本篇为说明文，谈到马克·吐温的小说是否对奴隶制和偏见进行了抵制，以及它受到不同人士的批判状况。
65．B　推理推断题。由其次段的“Twain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely.”可知，马克·吐温把对奴隶制和偏见的攻击融在故事中，隐晦地表达。而早期小说是直接攻击方式(dealt directly with slavery)，因此B项说他的小说对种族主义制度的攻击格外不明显是恰当的。A项文章没有提及；C项与题干无关，答非所问；D项文章没有提及。
66．D　推理推断题。依据关键词Adventures of Huckleberry Finn定位到第三段。由“More recently the book has been attacked because of …many occurences of the word nigger.”可知答案。A项中的target readers错误，文章没有说到；B项不符合文意；C项中的impolite language范围过广，文章只是说到批判者对nigger一词的毁灭感到不满。
67．C　细节理解题。由第四段的末句“…the character of Jim was a first in American fiction—a recognition that the slave had two personalities…”可知答案。A项中的in detail文章没有提及；B项中的The slave's voice与文章的the character of Jim不全都；D项文章没有提及。
68．C　推理推断题。由第六段可知，举这个例子是为了说明奴隶的社会地位是由生活环境打算的，而不是人的自然本性。
69．D　词义猜想题。由画线词所在句的前面一句可知：没有理由认为马克·吐温把这些表演当作表现现实，后句紧接着解释：马克·吐温对奴隶制和偏见的不断攻击说明白他敏锐的意识，而这些是shows所没有表达出来的，可见they应当就是指代shows。
70．A　作者意图题。末段首先提出一个疑问，然后通过论据否定了这个观点，最终总结了一下自己的观点：And Twain…may have done more to anger the nation over racial injustice …than any other novelist in the past century，可见作者要反对的是末段首句所表达的疑问，只有A项符合，其他各项只是对具体例子的说明。
