四、阅读理解
A
When someone meets a stranger with the same hobby,that person immediately becomes a friend.People enjoy the company of others who share a similar interest.Often they will form a club and travel great distances to attend meetings where they can talk about their hobbies.Other people have such unusual hobbies that no one else can share them.Sometimes they try to do something better,faster or longer than anyone else in order to have their names included in the Guinness Book of World Records.
A lady in Massachusetts may have the world’s easiest hobby:she lets her hair grow.Diane Witt has not cut her hair for twelve years.It is now eight feet(2.44 metres)long,and she will soon set a new world record and her name will be placed in the Guinness Book.A thirty-year-old man in Pennsylvania played the piano for forty-five days and eleven hours,while a musician in Connecticut played the flute for forty-three hours.
A teacher in California typed for over 162 hours,and a lady from Iowa spent six years typing the numbers from one to one million.Probably the cleanest people in the world are two young women from England who stayed in the shower for over ninety-eight hours;but a man in Oregon was more than twice as clean after taking a shower that lasted two hundred hours.
Someone once said that“Records are made to be broken”.One record that many young men might enjoy breaking is the one made by Roger Guy,English of California.During a period of eight hours,Roger kissed three thousand young women.
1.From the passage we know that .
A.some people do something special to put names in the Guinness Book of World Records
B.it took a lady from Iowa six months to type the numbers from one to one million
C.a teacher in California typed for over 8 days
D.a lady in New York hasn’t have hair cut for 12 years
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句“Other people have such unusual hobbies that no one else can share them.Sometimes they try to do something better,faster or longer than anyone else in order to have their names included in the Guinness Book of World Records.”可知一些人特意做一些特别的事以便被记录入《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》。D项的New York应改成Massachusetts,B、C项的时间不对,故选A项。
2.Which of the following is TRUE
A.Diane Witt’s hair is now eight metres long.
B.A thirty-year-old man in Pennsylvania played the piano for 2,160 hours.
C.A musician in Connecticut played the violin for one day and 19 hours.
D.Two young women from England stayed in the shower for over 4 days.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Probably the cleanest people in the world are two young women from England who stayed in the shower for over ninety-eight hours”可知D项正确。A项的metres应改成feet;B项的时间不对;C项的violin应改成flute。
3.The underlined word “company”(in Paragraph 1)means .
A.being excellent B.being similar
C.being friendly D.being together
答案:D
解析:词义猜测题。根据上下文可知人们喜欢跟有相同兴趣的人走在一起,所以此词是“陪伴,在一起”的意思。
4.What would be the best title for the passage
A.Guinness Book.
B.How to Get World Records.
C.Some World Records.
D.Records Are Made to Be Broken.
答案:C
解析:主旨大意题。此文主要是向我们介绍一些世界纪录,因此C项是最佳选项。
5.Judging from the writing style of the passage,it is .
A.a piece of advertisement
B.a science report
C.a passage for professional reading
D.a passage from a magazine
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。吉尼斯纪录不是广告,故A项错误;文章的专业性不强,不属于专业性的阅读文章,也不可能是科学报告;文章的内容应归为生活消遣类,因此最可能出现在杂志上。
B
