1广西浦北县 2017 高考英语一轮阅读理解选练（二）（2016 高考训练）阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。“OK， ” I said to my daughter as she bent over her afternoon bowl of rice.“What's going on with you and your friend J．？” J．is the leader of a group of third－graders at her camp—a position Lucy herself occupied the previous summer.Now she's__the__one__on__the__outs，and every day at snack time，she tells me all about it，while I offer the unhelpful advice all summer long.“She's fond of giving orders， ” Lucy complained.“She's turning everyone against me.She's mean.She's bad at math.She's terrible at kickball.And she's fat.”“Excuse me， ”I said，struggling for calm.“What did you just say？” “She's fat， ” Lucy mumbled(含糊地说)into her bowl.“We are going upstairs， ” I said，my voice cold， “We are going to discuss this.” And up we went.I'd spent the nine years since her birth getting ready for this day，the day we'd have to have the conversation about this horrible word.I knew exactly what to say to the girl on the receiving end of the teasing(嘲笑)，but in all of my imaginings，it never once occurred to me that my daughter would be the one who used the F word—Fat.My daughter sat on her bed，and I sat beside her.“How would you feel if someone made fun of you for something that wasn't your fault？”I began.“She could stop eating so much， ”Lucy mumbled，mouthing the simple advice a thousand doctors and well－meaning friends and relatives have given overweight women for years.“It's not always that easy， ”I said.“Everyone's different in terms of how they treat food.” Lucy looked at me，waiting for me to go on.I opened my mouth，then closed it.Should I tell her that，in teasing a woman's weight，she's joined the long，proud tradition of critics who go after any woman with whom they disagree by starting with “you're ugly” and ending with“no man would want you and there must be something wrong with any man who does”？Should I tell her I didn't cry when someone posted my picture and commented， “I'm sorry，but aren't authors who 2write books marketed to young women supposed to be pretty？”？Does she need to know，now，that life isn't fair? I feel her eyes on me，waiting for an answer I don't have.Words are my tools.Stories are my job.It's possible she'll remember what I say forever，and I have no idea what to say.So I tell her the only thing I can come up with that is absolutely true.I say to my daughter， “I love you，and there is nothing you could ever do to make me not love you.But I'm disappointed in you right now.There are plenty of reasons for not liking someone.What she looks like isn't one of them.”Lucy nods，tears on her cheeks.“I won't say that again， ”she tells me，and I pull her close，pressing my nose against her hair.We are both quiet，and I don't know if I have said the right thing.So as we sit there together，shoulder to shoulder，I pray for her to be smart.I pray for her to be strong.I pray for her to find friends，work she loves，a partner who loves her，and for the world not to deprive(剥夺)her of the things that make her who she is，for her life to be easy，and for her to have the strength to handle it when it's not.And still，always，I pray that she will never struggle as I've struggled，that weight will never be her cross to bear.She may not be able to use the word in our home，but I can use it in my head.I pray that she will never get fat.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。听到女儿使用粗鲁的语言评论别人，这使“我”感到非常震惊。通过与女儿交流， “我”用自己的成长故事表达了对女儿的爱和祝愿。1．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 indicates that Lucy________．A．often makes fun of her friend J.B．has turned against her friend J.C．gets along well with her friend J.D．has begun to compete with her friend J.答案 B [句意理解题。根据第二段中的“‘She's fond of giving orders， ’ Lucy complained.‘She's turning everyone against me.She's mean.She's bad at math.She's terrible at kickball.And she's fat.’”可知，女儿对 J.不满意，埋怨 J.，由此可判断女儿和 J.不和。on the outs 意为“与……不和” 。故选 B。]32．Why does the author want to discuss with Lucy?A．Because she wants to offer some other helpful advice.B．Because she has prepared the conversation for nine years.C．Because she is really shocked at Lucy's rudeness.D．Because she decides to tell Lucy a similar story of her own.答案 C [推理判断题。根据第二段中的“‘Excuse me， ’I said，struggling for calm.I said，my voice cold.”可推知， “我”很震惊， “我”努力使自己冷静下来，所以 C 项正确。故选 C。]3．What does the author want to tell her daughter?A．It is not easy to take the doctors' advice to eat less.B．People shouldn't complain because life is unfair.C．She herself was once laughed at for her appearance.D．People shouldn't be blamed for their appearance.答案 D [推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后两句“There are plenty of reasons for not liking someone.What she looks like isn't one of them.”可推知， “我”想使女儿明白不能取笑人的外表(如体态)，所以 D 项正确。故选 D。]4．It can be inferred from the passage that________．A．the author earns a living by writing storiesB．the author is a fat but good－looking woman4C．the author will stop loving her daughter for what she saidD．the author's daughter agreed with her from the very beginning答案 A [推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Words are my tools.Stories are my job.”可知，写作是“我”谋生的手段，所以 A 项正确。根据第五段中的“Should I tell her I didn't cry when someone posted my picture and commented， ‘I'm sorry，but aren't authors who write books marketed to young women supposed to be pretty？’ ”可排除 B 项；根据第七段中的“I love you，and there is nothing you could ever do to make me not love you.”可排除 C 项；根据第四段中的“‘She could stop eating so much， ’Lucy mumbled”可排除 D 项。故选 A。]5．We can learn from the last paragraph that________．A．Lucy was deeply moved by her mother's prayerB．a mother's prayer will shape her daughter's attitude towards lifeC．the author allows her daughter to use the F word in her headD．the author hopes her daughter will never have weight trouble答案 D [细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“And still，always，I pray that she will never struggle as I've struggled，that weight will never be her cross to bear.”可知， “我”祈祷女儿不会和“我”一样会因为体重而烦恼。故选 D。]6．The author's attitude towards her daughter can be best described as________．A．loving but strict B．indifferent but patientC．satisfied and friendly D．unsatisfied and angry答案 A [观点态度题。根据第七段中的“I 5love you，and there is nothing you could ever do to make me not love you.”可知，“我”很爱女儿；根据文章内容可知，因为女儿对别人粗鲁的评论使“我”震惊并对女儿进行教育，所以“我”对女儿要求严格。故选 A。]阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项。(Religion and Rationality)Yet the difference in tome and language must strike us, so soon as it is philosophy that speaks: that change should remind us that even if the function of religion and that of reason coincide, this function is performed in the two cases by very different organs. Religions are many, reason one. Religion consists of conscious ideas, hopes, enthusiasms, and objects of worship; it operates by grace and flourishes by prayer. Reason, on the other hand, is a mere principle or potential order, on which indeed we may come to reflect but which exists in us ideally only, without variation or stress of any kind. We conform or do not conform to it; it does not urge or chide us, not call for any emotions on our part other than those naturally aroused by the various objects which it unfolds in their true nature and proportion. Religion brings some order into life by weighting it with new materials. Reason adds to the natural materials only the perfect order which it introduces into them. Rationality is nothing but a form, an ideal constitution which experience may more or less embody. Religion is a part of experience itself, a mass of sentiments and ideas. The one is an inviolate principle, the other a changing and struggling force. And yet this struggling and changing force of religion seems to direct man toward something eternal. It seems to make for an ultimate harmony within the soul and for an ultimate harmony between the soul and all that the soul depends upon. Religion, in its intent, is a more conscious and direct pursuit of the Life of Reason than is society, science, or art, for these approach and fill out the ideal life tentatively and piecemeal, hardly regarding the foal or caring for the ultimate justification of the instinctive aims. Religion also 6has an instinctive and blind side and bubbles up in all manner of chance practices and intuitions; soon, however, it feels its way toward the heart of things, and from whatever quarter it may come, veers in the direction of the ultimate. Nevertheless, we must confess that this religious pursuit of the Life of Reason has been singularly abortive. Those within the pale of each religion may prevail upon themselves, to express satisfaction with its results, thanks to a fond partiality in reading the past and generous draughts of hope for the future; but any one regarding the various religions at once and comparing their achievements with what reason requires, must feel how terrible is the disappointment which they have one and all prepared for mankind. Their chief anxiety has been to offer imaginary remedies for mortal ills, some of which are incurable essentially, while others might have been really cured by well-directed effort. The Greed oracles, for instance, pretended to heal out natural ignorance, which has its appropriate though difficult cure, while the Christian vision of heaven pretended to be an antidote to our natural death—the inevitable correlate of birth and of a changing and conditioned existence. By methods of this sort little can be done for the real betterment of life. To confuse intelligence and dislocate sentiment by gratuitous fictions is a short-sighted way of pursuing happiness. Nature is soon avenged. An unhealthy exaltation and a one-sided morality have to be followed by regrettable reactions. When these come. The real rewards of life may seem vain to a relaxed vitality, and the very name of virtue may irritate young spirits untrained in and natural excellence. Thus religion too often debauches the morality it comes to sanction and impedes the science it ought to fulfill.What is the secret of this ineptitude? Why does religion, so near to rationality in its purpose, fall so short of it in its results? The answer is easy; religion pursues rationality through the imagination. When it explains events or assigns causes, it is an imaginative substitute for science. When it gives precepts, insinuates ideals, or remoulds aspiration, it is an imaginative 7substitute for wisdom—I mean for the deliberate and impartial pursuit of all food. The condition and the aims of life are both represented in religion poetically, but this poetry tends to arrogate to itself literal truth and moral authority, neither of which it possesses. Hence the depth and importance of religion becomes intelligible no less than its contradictions and practical disasters. Its object is the same as that of reason, but its method is to proceed by intuition and by unchecked poetical conceits.1. As used in the passage, the author would define “wisdom” as[A]. the pursuit of rationality through imagination.. an unemotional search for the truth.[C]. a purposeful and unbiased quest for what is best.[D]. a short-sighted way of pursuing happiness2.

Yet the difference in tome and language must strike us, so soon as it is philosophy that speaks: that change should remind us that even if the function of religion and that of reason coincide, this function is performed in the two cases by very different organs.[参考译文] 可是音调和语言的差异必然很快的给我们深刻的印象，就象哲学所说的那样：那种差异应提乡我们，即使宗教的功能和理性的功能恰好相符的话，其功能也是通过不同的器官在两种不同的情况下完成的。2. Reason, on the other hand, is a mere principle or potential order, on which indeed we may come to reflect but which exists in us ideally only, without variation or stress of any kind.[参考译文] 另一方面，理性知识一种原则或者是潜在的秩序，我们确实可以在此基础上存在于我们心中，没有种种变化，或任何压力。3.

Religion, in its intent, is a more conscious and direct pursuit of the Life of Reason than is society, science, or art, for these approach and fill out the ideal life tentatively and piecemeal, hardly regarding the foal or caring for the ultimate justification of the instinctive aims.[参考译文] 宗教在其意义上，比社会，科学，艺术更自觉，更直接的追求“理性生活” ，因为这些东西（社会，科学，艺术）暂时而又零星的接近和填补理想的生活，无视目的，也不管其本能的目标是否最终证明正确。5. one and all 各个都，全部6. Those within the pale of each religion may prevail upon themselves, to express satisfaction with its results, thanks to a fond partiality in reading the past and generous draughts of hope for the future; but any one regarding 10the various religions at once and comparing their achievements with what reason requires, must feel how terrible is the disappointment which they have one and all prepared for mankind.[参考译文] 处于宗教领域范围之内的人民也许会说服自己对其结果表示满意，这要感谢他们在结实过去和对未来希望宽宏要切上的一种偏爱。可是任何迅速关注宗教的人，把其成就和理性所要求的一切做一比较，必然感到这种种宗教为全人类作好的失望是实在太可怕了。7. To confuse intelligence and dislocate sentiment by gratuitous fictions is a short-sighted way of pursuing happiness.[参考译文] 以无理的幻想混淆智力，弄乱正常的情感是一种短视的追求幸福的方法。8. Thus religion too often debauches the morality it comes to sanction and impedes the science it ought to fulfill.[参考译文] 因此，宗教常常会使它要支持的道德堕落沦丧，并妨碍它应该执行的科学任务。9.
