一、高中英语阅读理解 1.阅读理解
It was the beginning of 2011. I had just finished filming the first season of Game of Thrones(《权利的游戏》). With almost no professional experience, I had been given the role of Daenerys Targaryen. The show was so successful that young girls would dress themselves up as Daenerys for Halloween.
And yet, terrified of the attention, terrified of trying to make good on the faith that the creators had put in me, I worked much harder.
On the morning of February 11, 2011, I was getting dressed in a gym when I started to feel a bad headache. I was so exhausted that I could barely put on my sneakers. I tried to ignore the pain, but I couldn't. I reached the toilet and sank to my knees. A woman came to help me. Then everything became unclear. I only remember the sound of an ambulance.
That operation lasted three hours. When I woke, the pain was unbearable. After four days, they moved me out of the I.C.U. (重症监护室). But one day when a nurse asked me, as part of a series of cognitive (认知的) exercises, \terrified: I am an actor; I need to remember my lines. Now, I couldn't recall my name.
The phenomenon is called aphasia. Then I was sent back to the I.C.U. and, after about a week, I was able to speak and know my name. And I was also aware that there were people in the beds around me who didn't make it out of the I.C.U. I was continually reminded of just how fortunate I was.
I rarely gave a thought to my health. Nearly all I thought about was acting. I thought of myself as healthy. Once in a while, I would get dizzy. When I was fourteen, I had a migraine (偏头痛) that kept me in bed for a couple of days. But it all seemed manageable — part of the stress of being an actor. Now I think I might have been experiencing warning signs of what was to come. Anyway, there is something pleasant about coming to the end of Thrones. And I'm so happy to be here to see the beginning of whatever comes next.
(1)The author felt terrified after acting in the first season of Game of Thrones because _____. ①she felt nervous about the public attention. ②she had been criticized for her lack of experience.
③she was experiencing some warning signs of a serious illness. ④she wasn't sure if she had performed well in Season 1.
A. ①④ B. ②③ C. ①② D. ③④
(2)When did the author lose consciousness? A. After she took an operation.
B. After a woman came to her rescue in a gym. C. When trying to ignore a headache while working out. D. When knowing many patients wouldn't survive the illness. (3)A patient who is suffering from aphasia ______.
A. cannot move his or her body B. will fall into serious depression
C. must undergo brain surgery at once D. is not able to remember things from the past (4)What can you infer from the end of the passage? A. The author feels very lucky to be an actress. B. The author is quite confident about her role. C. The author can't go on acting due to the illness. D. The author will pay more attention to her health. 【答案】 (1)A (2)B (3)D (4)D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者讲述了自己在作为一名演员对待工作非常认真努力却忽视了自己的身体健康,直到有一天她晕倒并进了重症病房接受治疗,她才意识到要重视身体健康。
(1)考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“With almost no professional experience, I had been given the role of Daenerys Targaryen. ”由于几乎没有任何专业经验,我得到了丹妮莉丝·坦格利安这个角色。可知作者觉得她认为自己没经验害怕不能很好完成;“And yet, terrified of the attention, terrified of trying to make good on the faith that the creators had put in me, I worked much harder.” 然而,由于害怕受到关注,害怕兑现创作者对我的信任,我更加努力地工作。可知作者害怕公众的关注。故选A。
(2)考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“A woman came to help me. Then everything became unclear.”可知,一个女人来帮助我。然后一切都变得模糊不清。作者是一个女人在健身房里救了她之后失去意识的。故选B。
(3)考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“But one day when a nurse asked me, as part of a series of cognitive (认知的) exercises, ‘ What's your name?’, I couldn't remember my name and I felt terrified: I am an actor; I need to remember my lines. Now, I couldn't recall my name.”这个过程的描述可知,患有失语症者会记不得事情,哪怕是自己的姓名。故一个患有失语症的病人会不记得过去的事情。故选D。
(4)考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“Anyway, there is something pleasant about coming to the end of Thrones. And I'm so happy to be here to see the beginning of whatever comes next.”可知,不管怎样,能演完《权力的游戏》是一件令人愉快的事情。我很高兴还在这里,见证未来的开始。所以通过这次生病,作者意识到自己的健康出了问题,但作者很感激自己身体还是很健康,判断出作者将来会更加注意她的健康。更好地演戏。故选D。 【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查,是一篇故事类阅读,考生需要准确捕捉细节信息,并根据上下文进行逻辑推理,从而选出正确答案。

You're probably used to the regular upgrades in our cell-phone networks. There was 2G, which came along in 199l, replaced with 3G in 2001, followed by 4G in 2009. Now we're hearing about the coming of 5G.
But 5G is a much bigger leap than before. 5G, of course, is much faster than 4G in the real world and a 5G phone in a 5G city will enjoy Internet speeds between 9 and 20 times as fast. The arrival of 5G also means enormous leaps forward in capacity-so much that every cell-phone plan will offer cheap, truly unlimited Internet access. \Sherif Hanna, Qualcomm's director of 5G marketing. For example, apps will no longer degrade (降低) your video quality or postpone downloading when you're out of Wi-Fi range. In fact, you'll probably prefer to do your downloads when you're on cellular (使用流量) because 5G will be much faster than whatever service you've got at home or work.
\partly by using existing transmission(传输) frequencies more efficiently and partly by using the
millimeter wave range. That's a big, juicy line of radio frequencies that are currently underused because millimeter wave is really hard to use,\
These frequencies are much higher than anything we've used for the cellular, which means they can offer unbelievable speed-but at the cost of range. Millimeter wave cellular towers have to be about 500 feet apart. Cell carriers not only will have to upgrade all their cell transceivers (called small cells) but will install(安装) a lot more of them as well.
That's why the millimeter wave flavor of 5G, the superfast coverage, will be available only in densely populated cities such as New York and San Francisco. In suburban and rural areas, 5G will bring a speedup of \
(1)What advantages does 5G have over previous networks? A. 5G is much faster and more convenient. B. 5G allows users to download more videos. C. 5G can provide better service and news at home. D. 5G cell-phone plans are expensive but more accessible. (2)Hanna's words in paragraph 3 reflect .
A. popularity of the coming of 5G B. easy access to the 5G development C. concern about the 5G development D. excitement about the 5G development (3)What can we learn about 5G according to the text? A. It requires more cellular towers. B. It won't be available in rural areas.
C. It won't show speed improvements in suburbs. D. It makes some populated cities even more crowded. (4)Where is the text most likely from?
A. A tour brochure. B. A science newspaper. C. A medical magazine. D. An experimental textbook. 【答案】 (1)A (2)C (3)A (4)B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了5G网络的一些基本情况。
(1)考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“But 5G is a much bigger leap than before. 5G, of course, is much faster than 4G in the real world and a 5G phone in a 5G city will enjoy Internet speeds between 9 and 20 times as fast.”但5G的发展比以前大得多。当然,在现实世界中,5G比4G快得多,5G城市中的5G手机将享受9到20倍的网速。可知,5G手机的网速将大幅度提高。由此可知,与以前的网络相比,5G更快、更方便。故选A。
(2)考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“‘However, not everyone is excited by the 5G development…That's a big, juicy line of radio frequencies that are currently underused because millimeter wave is really hard to use,’ Hanna says.”汉纳说:“然而,并不是每个人都对5G的发展感到兴奋……这是一个巨大的、有趣的无线电频率线,目前还没有得到充分利用,因为毫米波真的很难使用。”可知,汉纳认为并不是每个人都对5G的发展感到兴奋,这种无线电
