Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2016·广州综合测试二)Is
it
possible
that
the
sinking
of
the
Titanic
was
caused
by
a
ghost
A
plot
of
the
story
below
is
true
...
but
did
it
really
happen
quite
like
this
Our
story
begins
not
in
the
icy
cold
waters
of
the
North
Atlantic,
but
rather
thousands
of
miles
away
in
Egypt.
It
is
here,
perhaps,
that
we
can
find
the
start
of
the
mystery
(谜)
of
the
Titanic,
in
the
year
1910,
in
the
great
city
of
Cairo.
One
day,
a
famous
professor
of
Egyptian
history
called
Douglas
Murray
was
staying
in
Cairo,
when
he
was
contacted
by
an
American
adventurer.
The
American
had
something
unusual
to
offer
Murray,
something
that
was
certain
to
thrill
him:
a
beautiful
ancient
Egyptian
mummy
case,
containing
the
mummy
of
an
Egyptian
queen.
It
was
over
3,000
years
old,
but
in
beautiful
condition
—
gold,
with
bright
paintings
on
it.
Murray
was
delighted
with
both
the
object
and
the
asking price.
He
gave
the
man
a
cheque
immediately.
The
cheque
was
never
cashed.
That
evening
the
American
adventurer
died.
For
his
part,
Murray
arranged
to
have
the
treasure
sent
back
to
Britain.
However,
it
was
not
long
before
he
learnt
more
about
the
beautiful
mummy
case:
On
the
walls
of
the
tomb
in
which
it
had
been
discovered,
there
were
messages
which
warned
of
terrible
consequences
to
anyone
who
broke
into
the
tomb.
Murray
was
disbelieving
of
these
warnings
until
a
few
days
later,
when
a
gun
he
was
holding
exploded
in
his
hand,
shattering
his
arm.
The
arm
had
to
be
cut
off.
After
the
accident,
Murray
decided
to
return
to
his
homeland.
On
the
return
journey,
two
of
his
companions
died
mysteriously,
and
two
servants
who
had
handled
the
mummy
also
passed
away.
The
now terrified
Murray
decided
he
would
get
rid
of
the
cursed
case
as
soon
as
he
arrived
in
London.
A
lady
he
knew
named
Janet
Jones
said
she
would
like
it,
so
he
gave
it
to
her.
Shortly
afterwards,
Jones'
mother
died,
and
she
herself
caught
a
strange
disease.
She
tried
returning
the
mummy,
but
naturally
Murray
refused
it.
In
the
end,
it
was
presented
to
the
British
Museum.
Even
in
the
museum,
the
mummy
apparently
continued
to
cause
strange
events.
A
museum
photographer
died
shortly
after
taking
pictures
of
the
new
exhibit,
and
a
manager
also
died
for
no
apparent
reason.
In
the
end,
the
British
Museum
decided
to
get
rid
of
the
mummy
too.
They
sold
it
to
a
collector
in
New
York.
At
the
start
of
April
1912,
arrangements
for
the
transfer
were
complete,
and
the
mummy
began
the
journey
to
its
new
home.
But
the
New
Yorker
never
received
the
mummy
or
its
case.
For
when
the
Titanic
sank,
one
of
the
objects
in
its
strong room
was
the
mummy
case.
Or
so
they
say.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一个关于泰坦尼克号沉没原因的神秘故事。
1.In
Paragraph
5,
the
underlined
word
“cursed”
is
closest
in
meaning
to
________.
A.forgotten
B.uncommon
C.expensive
D.unlucky
解析:选D 词义猜测题。根据第四段倒数第二句和第五段第二句可知,这个箱子带来连连厄运。由此可推知,这个箱子是受诅咒的,unlucky意为“不幸运的,不吉祥的”,与cursed“受诅咒的”意思接近。故选D。
2.In
what
order
did
the
following
events
occur
a.The
case
was
given
to
the
British
Museum.
b.Janet
Jones
caught
a
mysterious
illness.
c.Murray's
arm
was
cut
off.
d.The
mummy
case
was
sold
to
an
American.
e.A
man
who
took
a
picture
of
the
case
died.
f.Warnings
were
written
on
the
tomb's
walls.
A.f,c,b,a,e,d
B.c,f,b,a,e,d
C.d,f,b,c,a,e
D.f,a,c,b,e,d
解析:选A 事件排序题。通读全文可知,本文的叙述顺序为坟墓的墙上写有警示语,这是在坟墓建成时已有的→Murray直到手臂被枪打到才相信诅咒,因此把它卖给了Janet
Jones→其后她得了一种怪病,然后想还回去→木乃伊从Janet
Jones手里辗转到了英国博物馆→一个给这个箱子拍照的博物馆摄影师死了博物馆又将它卖给了美国人。故选A。
3.According
to
the
passage,
where
is
the
Egyptian
mummy
now
A.At
the
British
Museum.
B.In
New
York.
C.In
Egypt.

when
the

sank,
one
of
the
objects
in
its
strong room
was
the
mummy
case.”可知,当泰坦尼克号沉船时,装有木乃伊的箱子在船上。由此可推知,该木乃伊已随泰坦尼克号沉入海底。故选D。
4.What
is
the
main
purpose

entertain
readers
with
a
story
of
mystery.
B.To

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2016·河南省普通毕业班适应性练习)It's
a
proven
fact
that
the
way
in
which
we
remember
things
changes
as
we
get
older.
Just
look
at
the
different
ways
in
which
kids
and
adults
learn
languages.
__1__
They
learn
best
by
singing
songs,
mimicking
(模仿)
others
and
playing
games.
They
can
learn
to
repeat
words
after
only
hearing
them
a
couple
of
times.
Adults
prefer
to
analyse
a
language
and
find
out
how
it
works
before
they
start
speaking.
__2__
It
also
reflects
an
ingrained
(根深蒂固的)
learning
strategy
developed
through
years
of
life
experience.
On
the
surface,
it
seems
that
kids
learn
faster.
They
start
speaking
a
new
language
more
quickly
and
find
it
easier
to
remember
new
vocabulary.
__3__
Adults
are
generally
able
to
concentrate
for
longer
periods
of
time.
They
aren't
distracted
by
friends
wanting
to
play
football
or
thinking
about
what
they
want
for
Christmas
next
year.
Mature
learners
also
have
their
own
learning
strategy.
__4__
People
have
more
trouble
learning
new
vocabulary
as
they
get
older.
However,
with
the
correct
training,
an
adult
learner's
brain
will
adapt.
__5__
So,
in
summary,
by
adapting
your
learning
style
and
playing
to
your
strengths,
it's
never
too
late
to
learn
a
language!
A.Kids
like
to
be
active
and
involved.
B.Language
learning
can
prevent
memory
loss
in
older
people.
C.They
know
what
works
for
them
and
are
able
to
plan
their
studies
accordingly.
D.Motivation
is
another
factor
that
can
be
an
advantage
for
older
learners.
E.This
is
often
influenced
by
fear
of
failure.
F.To
learn
a
foreign
language
really
opens
opportunities
both
locally
and
abroad.
G.However,
adults
have
certain
advantages,
too.

together
to
visit
their
old
university
professor.

the
__1__
topic
—
happiness.
But
soon
their
conversation
turned
into
complaints
about

life.
To
offer

the

went
to

and
__3__
with
a

pot
of
coffee
and
a

of
__4__
—

__5__.
The

When
all
the

had
a
cup
of
coffee
in
__6__,
the

said,
“If
you
have
noticed,

leaving

the

and
cheap

While
it
is
__8__
for
you
to
want
only
the

that

of
your
problems
and
stress.”
The
professor
continued,
“Believe
that
the
cup
itself
adds
no
__10__
to
the
coffee.
In
most
cases
it
is
just
more
expensive
and
in
some
cases
it
even
__11__
what
we
drink.
What
all
of
you
__12__
wanted
was
coffee,
not
the
cup,
but
you
consciously
went
__13__
the
best
cups.
Now
__14__
this:
life
is
coffee,
the
jobs,
money,
and
__15__
in
society
are
the
cups
which
are
just
tools
to
hold
and
__16__
life,
and
the
different
types
of
cups
we
have
don't
decide,
nor
__17__
the
quality
of
life.
If
we
concentrate
only
on
the
cups,
we
will
__18__
to
enjoy
the
coffee
in
it.
So
don't
let
the
cups

you
...
enjoy
the
coffee
instead.”
At
these
words,
the
graduates
looked
at
each

in

embarrassment.
