1、 高考英語閱讀理解強(qiáng)化訓(xùn)練Day 86Passage 1Handshaking, though a European practice, is now often seen in big cities of China. Nobody knows exactly when the practice started in Europe. It is said that long long ago in Europe when people met, they showed their unarmed （無武器的）hands to eachother as a sign of goodwill.

2、As time went on and trade in cities grew rapidly, people in cities began to clap each others hands to make a deal or to reach an agreement. This practice was later changed into shaking hands among friends on meeting or leaving each other. “ Lets s（hahkaends）on it ” sometimes means agreement reached.

3、Do the Europeans shake hands wherever they go and with whomever they meet? No. Sometimes the Chinese abroad reach out their hands too often to be polite. It is really very impolite to give your hand when the other party, especially when it is a woman, shows little interest in shaking hands with you

4、and when the meeting does not mean anything to him or her. Even if, for politeness, he holds out his unwilling hand in answer to your uninvited hand, just touch it slightly. There is generally a misunderstanding （誤解）among the Chinese that westerners are usually open andstraightforward, while the Chi

5、nese are rather reserved （保守的）in manner. But infact some people in western countries are more reserved than some Chinese today.

44、選項(xiàng) ” C 把 a sign of goodwill 換成了show friendliness， 其實(shí)意思相同，故 C 為正確答案。選項(xiàng)A、 B、 D 都是隨著時(shí)間推移握手的場(chǎng)合，均不符合題干的要求。B 主旨大意題。第一段的主題句是“ Nobody knows exactly when the practicestarted in Europe.接著作者介紹了握手是怎樣在歐洲發(fā)展起來的：為了表示友善，人們伸出沒有武器的手-做生意達(dá)成協(xié)議后雙方握手-朋友們見面或者分手時(shí)握手。所以選項(xiàng)B 為正確答案。選項(xiàng)A“ 握手最早起源在哪？”和C“ 握手和做生意之間的關(guān)系”都是第一段的具體信息，不能概括全段

45、的主旨，予以排除；選項(xiàng)D“ 介紹了在歐洲和中國的握手習(xí)慣”，這不是第一段的內(nèi)容，予以排除。C 推理判斷題。答案信息點(diǎn)在第二段的最后一句話。文中說當(dāng)今一些西方人比中國人更保守，所以最好是當(dāng)對(duì)方有握手的意愿時(shí)才和對(duì)方握手。也就是說握手前要做一下判斷，故選項(xiàng)C 正確。A“ 西方人比中國人更保守”，文中只說部分西方人比中國人保守，所以A 以偏概全，予以排除；B“ 西方人不愿意握手”，文中沒有提及這方面的內(nèi)容，予以排除；D“ 我們不應(yīng)該和歐洲婦女握手”曲解了原文的意思，原文只是說在女士沒有先伸手前，男士不應(yīng)該主動(dòng)握手，而不是說不應(yīng)該跟西方女士握手，所以D 排除。B 主旨大意題。第一段是鋪墊引出第二段，第

46、二段列舉了一些握手的例子來說明握手時(shí)應(yīng)該注意的問題，所以選項(xiàng)B“ 告訴我們一些握手的重要信息”是正確選項(xiàng)。A“ 東西方的一些差異”， 題目過于寬泛，本文中談及了握手的一些場(chǎng)合，以及部分中國人對(duì)握手的一些誤解，但這只是中西方不同的一個(gè)方面，不是“一些 ”方面， 所以 A 不對(duì)；C“ 介紹一些西方的不同習(xí)俗”， 本文主要介紹的是“握手 ”的習(xí)俗，沒有涉及其他的西方習(xí)俗，所以C 排除；D“ 告訴我們一些出國前的建議 ”，離題太遠(yuǎn)，予以排除。Passage 2C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。定位到原文第三段句末，根據(jù)文章“ Hannah helped raisemoney for this new kind of p

48、It is named Jonathans Dream in honor of her son. 這些內(nèi)容說明這個(gè)廣闊的操場(chǎng)的靈感是由 ”Amy JaffeBarzach想出來的。被命名為 Jonathans Dream是為了紀(jì)念女ft的兒子。 A項(xiàng)為殘 疾人提供了培訓(xùn)說明，文章中未提及，故A 錯(cuò)； B 廣闊的操場(chǎng)借鑒了項(xiàng)借鑒了Jonathan的夢(mèng)想，與文章對(duì)應(yīng)，故 B正確；C項(xiàng)時(shí)Amy發(fā)明的，文章中說這個(gè) 靈感是來自于Amy,但發(fā)明者不是她，故 C錯(cuò)；D項(xiàng)這個(gè)操場(chǎng)由社區(qū)出資，文 章并未提及，D 錯(cuò)；故正確答案是B。C 主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第二段“ She uses a wheelchair.

49、Sadly, for kids likeher, most playground equipment is off limits.可知 Hannah由于殘疾，操場(chǎng)上彳艮多 的器材都對(duì)她而言具有局限性，所以無法像正常的孩子使用傳統(tǒng)的操場(chǎng)；而在文章第四段最后一句“ Matthew was motivated because he used a wheelchair himselfand wanted to be able to have fun at playgrounds with other kids, regardless of their physical abilities or dis

52、y talented Stanford PhDstudents struggling with their visas可知，李菲菲說她看到許多有天賦的斯坦福學(xué) 生為簽證苦苦掙扎，而不是李菲菲為簽證苦苦掙扎，所以選項(xiàng)A 錯(cuò)誤。由 “ hermom developed cancer and had a stroked知，李菲菲的媽媽病了,而不是父母者B 生病了，所以選項(xiàng)B 錯(cuò)誤。由“ Li attended classes during the week and worked atthe business on the weekends可知，季菲菲平時(shí)上課，周末打工，而不是上課很 困難，所以選項(xiàng)D
