Li Hua 阅读理解提速练4篇阅读＋1篇七选五，限时35分钟
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Pygmalion is a drama in which Shaw has made sentiments one of the principle themes of discussion. The Greek sculptor Pygmalion carved a statue and fell in love with it. Aphrodite (the goddess of love) turned the statue into a living woman named Galatea, who then became Pygmalion's wife.
The Shavian Pygmalion is Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics,
who picks up a flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, teaches her to speak
as educated people do, and then successfully passes_her_off_as a
duchess. But she is a human being and cannot be treated as a machine.
In the course of all his experiments and exhibitions, the professor
only thinks of his own skill success and failure, but never stops to consider how the girl feels. When the experiment is over, he has a profound sense of relief that he has achieved triumph and has won his bet. Even now，the sentiment of the girl is of no account. The girl naturally protests against this dehumanized relationship between her and her teacher. She hurls the professor's slippers at him when he wants them and then leaves his place. But evidently, she has begun to feel for the professor and wants also to be felt for.
Now the question is what is the nature of Eliza's feelings for the professor with whom she has lived in close association for so long? In the last act, the girl says she would not marry him even if he had proposed (求婚) to her. The professor,
curiously ineffectual (无效的) to sexual emotions, does not love any girl because he finds them to be rivals (对手) to his own mother. He wonders, if Eliza does not want to marry him, then what does she want from him? Old Mrs. Higgins, who knows much about a woman says that it would have been better if he had thanked her and petted her and told her how wonderful she had been. Then perhaps she would not have fought with him. Every girl loves to be loved. Eliza herself says that she loves Freddy and he also loves her. Professor Higgins, however, remains as ever, an old bachelor.
语篇解读：萧伯纳的著名戏剧《卖花女》具有经久不衰的艺术魅力，描述的是语言学教授希金斯如何把一名卖花姑娘训练成英语发音被上流社会接受并认可的故事，从而抨击了当时英国腐朽保守的等级意识。

1．What does the underlined phrase “passes her off as” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Let her pretend to be. B．Dress her up as.
C．Make her become. D．Turn into.
解析：选A 词义猜测题。

根据前文的“teaches her to speak as educated people do”以及下文的“In the course of all his experiments and exhibitions”可知该短语的意思是“把某人冒充或假装为”。

2．What kind of person do you think Higgins is according to the second paragraph?
A．He is a kind man. B．He is a considerate man.
C．He is a selfish man. D．He is a rude man.
解析：选C 推理判断题。

根据第二段第三句可知希金斯只考虑自己的成败得失，从不考虑伊莉莎的感受，显然他是一个自私的人。

3．Why does not Eliza marry Higgins? Because ________.
A．she does not love him
B．his mother does not like any girl to be her rival
C．he likes to be a bachelor
D．he doesn't love any girl for fear of them being his mother's rivals
解析：选D 细节理解题。

根据最后一段第三句可知伊莉莎不会嫁给希金斯，因为希金斯担心未来的妻子会成为他母亲的对手，所以他不敢爱上任何一个女孩。

4．Which of the following statement is TRUE?
A．Shaw was in fact a Greek sculptor.
B．Higgins was experimenting with Eliza.
C．Eliza wanted to become an educated lady very much.
D．Higgins fell in love with Eliza at first sight.
解析：选B 细节理解题。

根据第二段可知希金斯只是把伊莉莎当成一个试验品。

故B 正确。

B
I can still remember it as if it happened yesterday. I was a college freshman and had stayed up most of the night before laughing and talking with friends. Now just before my first class of the day my eyelids were feeling heavier and heavier and my head was drifting down to my desk to make my textbook a pillow. A few minutes' nap time before class couldn't hurt, I thought.
Boom! I lifted my head immediately and my eyes opened wider than saucers. I looked around with my heart beating quickly trying to find the cause of the noise. My young professor was looking back at me with a mischievous,_boyish smile on his face. He had intentionally dropped the pile of textbooks he was carrying onto his desk. “Good morning！” he said, still smiling. “I'm glad to see everyone is awake. Now let's get sta rted.”
For the next hour I wasn't sleepy at all. It wasn't from the shock of my professor's textbook alarm clock either. Instead, it was from the attractive discussion he led. With knowledge and good humor, he made the material come alive. His insights were full of both wisdom and loving kindness. And the enthusiasm and joy which he taught with were contagious (有感染力的). I left the classroom not only wide awake, but a little smarter and a little better as well.
I learned something far more important than not sleeping in class that day too.
I learned that if you are going to do something in this life, do it well, do it with joy, and make it an expression of your love. What a glorious place this world would be if all of us did our work joyously and well! What a beautiful world we could create if every doctor, teacher, musician, cook, waitress, poet, miner, farmer, and laborer made their work an expression of their love! Don't sleepwalk through your life then. Wake up! Let your love fill your work and your soul. Life is too short not to live it well.
语篇解读：本文通过作者大学第一节课的经历告诉我们：无论从事什么职业，我们都应该带着热情和快乐去做好它。

5．What did the author want to do just before his first class of the day?
A．Talk with his friends.
B．Take a short sleep.
C．Get his eyes examined.
D．Stay away from the class.
解析：选 B 细节理解题。

根据文章第一段最后两句“... my eyelids were feeling heavier and heavier ... A few minutes' nap time before class couldn't hurt, I thought.”可知，作者很困，想在上课前小睡一会儿。

故选B项。

6．The underlined word “mischievous” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”．
A．naughty B．tricky
C．sensitive D．dishonest
解析：选A 词义猜测题。

画线词与boyish共同修饰smile，感情色彩应一致。

根据boyish的含义“男孩子气的”可推测，mischievous应表示“调皮的；淘气的”，与naughty 意思相近。

故选A项。

7．What else did the author learn that day?
A．Students should not sleep in class but respect their teachers.
B．Everyone should love his job and sleepwalk through his life.
C．Life is too limited to make your work an expression of your love.
D．People from all walks of life should do their jobs with joy and love.
解析：选D 细节理解题。

根据文章最后一段中的“I learned that if you are going to do something in this life, do it well, do it with joy, and make it an expression of your love.”和“What a beautiful world we could create if every doctor ... made their work an expression of their love！”可知，作者还学到无论你从事什么职业，都应该用充满快乐与爱的心去把工作做好，从而创造一个更美好的世界。

故选D项。

8．What can be inferred from this passage?
A．The professor often kept his students sharp by using a textbook alarm.
B．The author was attracted by the professor's great joy and enthusiasm.
C．The author left the two­hour period not only wide awake, but a l ittle smarter.
D．Though the author was frightened awake, he was not clear­headed in the class.
解析：选B 推理判断题。

根据文章第三段中的“With knowledge and good humor, he made the material come alive. His insights were full of both wisdom and loving kindness. And the enthusiasm and joy which he taught with were contagious(有感染力的)．”可知，作者被教授的快乐和热情所吸引，故选B项。

C
(2018·西宁市高三检测)If you choose only to complain and escape from a misfortune, it will always follow you wherever you go.But if you decide to be strong, the hardship will turn out to be fortune on which new hopes will arise.
In an accident, a boy lost both his arms and his father who was the main source of support for the family.Since then, he has had to depend on the arms of his younger brother.For the sake of taking care of him, his younger brother became his shadow, never leaving him alone for years.Except for writing with his toes, he was completely unable to do anything in his life.
As the two brothers grew up together, they had their share of problems and they would often quarrel.Then one day, his younger brother wanted to leave, living his own life, as many normal people do.So he was heartbroken and didn't know what to do.
A similar misfortune befell a girl, too.One night, her mother who suffered from chronic mental illness disappeared.Her father went out to look for her mother, leaving her alone at home.She tried to prepare meals for her parents, only to overturn the kerosene light on the stove, resulting in a fire which took her hands away.
Though her elder sister who was studying in another city showed her willingness to take care of her, she was determined to be completely independent.At school, she always studied hard.Most of all she learned to be self­reliant.
One day, the boy and the girl were both invited to appear on a television interview program.The boy told the TV host about his uncertain future at being left on his own, whereas the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life.They both were asked to write something on a piece of paper with their toes.The boy wrote: My younger brother's arms are my arms; while the girl wrote: Broken wings, flying heart.

Last year Martha had a crazy idea: “Let's go to the shelter and get a dog.”
I was not exactly thrilled about the idea but agreed. We went to a California Animal Shelter. We wanted to find a dog and save a life at the same time. While I walked along the rows and rows of cold metal cages, a dog caught my eye. He was scared, weak and looked like he had given up on life.
He looked at me with big beautiful eyes. I could see into his soul that he just wanted it to end. I approached his cage. I stuck my finger through the hole in the cage and scratched him on the head. He closed his eyes and accepted all the love.
I knew that this dog had never felt love before. I thought he was enjoying every bit of the love I could give him until his time came to leave the Earth.
Tears began to stream down my face because I felt everything that this poor creature was feeling right then. He just wanted to be loved; he just wanted a home and a family.
I called my wife Martha and son Gabriel over an d told them. “We want him.”
Now Carson's favorite thing to do is to leap up in the air onto our bed in the morning and give us kisses with his giant tongue. He is always there to greet us when we come home with a huge smile and a wagging tail.
Our lives are so much better because of this giant dog. He has shown us more love than any living creature on Earth. I know what's in his big brown eyes: love, compassion and gratitude. Taking a chance on this dog was the best decision my family ever made.
