2016高考英语训练--阅读理解。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

I used to think of myself as a fairly open person, but my bookshelves told a different story. Apart from a few Indian novels and the Australian and South African book, my literature collection consisted of British and American titles. Worse still, I hardly ever read anything in translation. My reading was limited to stories by English-speaking authors.
So, at the start of 2012, I set myself the challenge of trying to read a book from every country in a year to find out what I was missing. As I was unlikely to find publications from nearly 200 nations on the sh elves of my local bookshop, I decided to ask the planet’s readers for help.
I created a blog called A Year of Reading the World and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that I could read in English.
The response was amazing. Before I knew it, people all over the planet were getting in touch with ideas and offers of help. Some posted me books from their home countries. Others did hours of research on my behalf. In addition, several writers sent me unpublished translations of their novels, giving me a rare opportunity to read works otherwise unavailable to the 62% of the British who only speak English. Even so, selecting books was no easy task. With translations making up
only around 4.5 percent of literary works published in the UK and Ireland, getting English versions (版本)of stories was difficult.
But the effort was worth it. I found I was visiting the mental space of the storytellers. These stories not only opened my mind to the real life in other places, but opened my heart to the way people there might feel.
And that in turn changed my thinking. Through reading the stories shared with me by bookish strangers around the globe, I realised I was not alone, but part of a network that spread all over the planet.
1. Which of the following might be found on the blog A Year of Reading the World?
A. Lists of English version books.
B. Research on English literature.
C. Unfinished novels by British writers.
D. Comments on English literature.
2. Why was it hard for the author to select the right books to read?
A. The author had a busy schedule.
B. The author was only interested in a few topics.
C. The author could only read books written in English.
D. Most books recommended are not available in local bookshops.
3. The author is probably from_________.
A. America
B. the UK
C. Australia
D. Canada
4. Which of the fol lowing words can best describe the author’s experience?
A. fast and effortless
B. challenging but rewarding
C. hopeless but beneficial
D. meaningful but fruitless

【2014高考英语四川省凉山州一模试题】D
There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external(外部的）result or product that can easily be
identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language-all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts
By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is
not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as
they go through new experiences and unexpected obstacles. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.
In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to be
faced with the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may "fail" at fist. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow.
These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not face and overcome these internal fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we cease to grow. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making
43. A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when he____．
A. has been admitted into a key university
B. has made great efforts in his work
C. is interested in making anything new
D. has tried to determine where he is on his journey
44. In the author's eyes, one who views personal growth as a process would
A. judge his ability to grow from his own achievements
B. succeed in climbing up the social ladder
C. face difficulties and take up challenges
D. aim high and reach his goal each time
45. What’s the meaning of the underlined word "cease" in paragraph 4?
A. continue
B. stop
C. promote
D. adapt
46. For personal growth, the author may not support______．
A. curiosity and more chances
B. being quick in self-adaptation
C. open-minded to new experiences
D. avoidance of internal fears and doubts

When I was a boy, my father told me that he could do anything he wanted to. Dad said that he wanted to be the first to develop color prints in our city, and so he did.

My father has been gone for 14 years now. The violin has been missing for more than 25 years. Somewhere a musician is playing a late 20th century violin with an excellent tone. The owner today may never understand why this ordinary -looking violin sounds so much like a Stradivarius
