2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习 阅读理解增分基础训练(6)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项。

Grandma celebrated her fifty-third birthday just weeks before grandpa died of cancer in 1965. Although his passing was very difficult for her, I think their shared struggle to make his life longer taught grandma that good health was not to be taken forgranted, and she made up her mind to live the rest of her own life as fully and as long as she could. One day, when

she announced to attend lessons at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Portland, Oregon, where she lived, we rolled our eyes in embarrassment and helplessly wished she would just stay home and bake cookies as normal grandmothers did. Many years filled with countless dance lessons passed before we learned to appreciate the wonder of having a dancing grandma.

I suppose grandma's primary motivation for wanting to learn to dance was social. She had been a shy girl, always very tall and heavy, and had married into grandpa's quiet lifestyle before developing any elegance or confidence in her personal appearance. Dancing, on the other hand, filled her life with flash lights, wonderful parties, beautiful dresses, handsome young dance instructors, and the challenge of learning. Although the weekly dance lessons did not change her ample, two-hundred-pound figure, grandma surprised everyone with energetic performances on the dance floor, which soon gave her as much elegance and confidence as any Miss American petitor.

Having taken weekly dance lessons for years, my grandma learned various dances easily and was soon participating in dancing matches all over the Northwest. When I was fourteen, grandma proudly invited me to watch her pete in one of these matches to be held in the grand ballroom of the Red Lion Inn. My attitude was still unenthusiastic at that point, but to make her happy, my mother and I attended the match. As if to prove me wrong, grandma made a wonderful showing in every event she entered. I thought she was truly the queen of the ball during the dance, and my thoughts

were shared by the judges a short time later when she was awarded a gold cup for her outstanding performance.

A Manhattan Crossing

New Yorkers like to say they can walk faster than the crosstown bus. On 34th Street, buses average about four miles an hour. For those in a hurry, pretty much everyone here, it’s an icy pace for a crosstown trip. Janette Sadik-Khan, the city’s transportation missioner, is proposing an interesting fix for 34th Street.

The city plan would close 34th Street to non-bus traffic in the block between the Empire State Building and Macy’s. On the rest of the street, cars would move one way only. It would take getting used to, but for bus passengers, the city says there are more than 40,000 a day on public, tour or muter (通勤) buses along 34th Street. The plan should cut the mute by up to 35 percent.

People in other vehicles or about 10 percent of the human traffic would have to zig and zag (锯齿形) to get through this section of the city. It is probably fair to say that most are not particularly pleased about the whole concept.

So the city needs to answer important questions. Will this unrest mean more traffic on side streets that are already unbearably crowded? Will deliveries be limited to the daybreak hours? Will Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Ms. Sadik-Khan be willing to change or drop the plan if it simply won’t work?

The Bloomberg administration has worked to improve bus traffic around the city. An experiment to speed up city buses along Fordham Road in the Bronx has already reduced travel time and increased passengers’ number.
