【2013】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。

Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear.Children know this very well. Fred Epstein，in his book If I Make It to Five，tells a story he heard from one of his friends about Tom，a four－year－old boy with a cancer in his back bone.He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.
Tom loved to pretend，and he particularly loved to play superheroes. Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.
The day before his third trip to the operating room，Tom was terribly afraid.“Maybe I could go as Superman，”he whispered to his mom.Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while.She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装)，but finally she agreed.
The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman，showing off through the hospital halls
and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way.And Tom，with the strength of his fantasy，successfully made it through the operation.
The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only.We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible，to go through those things that seem impossible，and to achieve what we never believed we could. Just as Dr.Epstein puts it，“If y ou can dream it，you can do it.”
It doesn't mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview.But，next time you are tested in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it.Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first.So，let your imagination run wild，and dare to dream.
26．What do we know about Tom?
A．He was seriously ill.
B．He was a dishonest boy.
C．He was crazy about magic.
D．He was Dr.Epstein's patient.
27．What can be inferred about Tom's mother?
A．She was a rich lady.
B．She refused Tom's request.
C．She wanted Tom to be a superhero.
D．She wanted to get Tom through the pain.
28．When Tom went for the third operation，he ________．
A．pretended to be painful
B．acted like a superhero
C．appeared in poor spirits
D．argued with his mother
29．In the last paragraph，you are advised ________．
A．to go through some difficult tests
B．to wake up from your wild dreams
C．to become a powerful person in your mind
D．to wear expensive clothes for job interviews
30．What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To tell us an interesting story.
B．To help us make right decisions.
C．To advise us to care about children.
D．To encourage us to use our imagination.
【要点综述】文章告诉我们，面对苦难和挑战，要充分发挥想象力的作用，使自己内心强大起来，梦想才能实现。

26．A 细节理解题。

由第一段的“Tom，a four－year－old boy with a cancer in his back bone.He came through several operations…”可知，Tom 病得很厉害。

27．D 推理判断题。

由第四段的“And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy，successfully made it through the operation.”可以看出，Tom的妈妈答应儿子的要求，就是想帮儿子减少手术的痛苦感。

其他选项可以这样排除：由第三段的“She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装)，but finally she agreed.”可以看出A和B错误；C项可以由常识排除。

28．B 细节理解题。

由第四段的“The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way.”可知当时他的行为和超人一样。

故选B。

29．C 推理判断题。

这是对前面所讲述的故事的升华，故事中小Tom用自己的想象力战胜了痛苦，作者在这里也建议我们面对困难时要“need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first.”还要“let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.”由此可见，C项符合题意。

30．D 写作目的题。

文章开篇点题：Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear.告诉我们想象力的重要性，然后通过一个具体的例子加以论证。

最后一段中作者又鼓励我们在挑战和困难面前使用想象力，使自己内心强大起来，故选D。

【2013】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。

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family，and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck.I'm not going to say luck，talent，and circumstances don't come into play because they do.Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence，and that's just the reality of how life is.
However，to succeed in life，one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more
practical.And，in addition to that，in order to get really good at something，one needs to spend at least 10，000 hours studying and practising.To become great at certain things，it'll require even more time，time that most people won't put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do，it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success，you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent，but thinking that way does you no good，and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.
Whatever you do，if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out，almost to the point of addiction，and over a long period of time.If you're not willing to put in the time and work，don't expect to receive any rewards.Consistent, hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
31．Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________．
A．the reasons for success
B．the meaning of success
C．the standards of success
D．the importance of success
32．In Paragraph 2，the underlined word that refers to ________．
A．being good at something
B．setting a practical goal
C．putting in more time
D．succeeding in life
33．Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ________．
A．work makes one feel pain
B．one tends to enjoy his work
C．one gives up his work easily
D．it takes a lot of time to succeed
34．What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A．Successful people like to show their great skills.
B．People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
C．People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D．It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
35．What is the main theme of the passage?
A．Having a goal is vital to success.
B．Being good is different from being great.
C．One cannot succeed without time and practice.
D．Luck，talent and family help to achieve success.
【要点综述】人人都渴望成功，成功有时或许和天赋、运气和家境有关，但是缺少了长期辛勤的付出，成功就会成为无稽之谈。

31．A 段落大意题。

这一部分向我们分析了一个人成功的因素：luck, talent, and circumstances。

32．B 代词指代题。

上一句说的是要想成功需要做的第一个方面：“set a goal…make it more practical”。

由此可知答案。

33．D 细节理解题。

题干关键词为：Successful people suggest(对应文章中的advise)。

第三段的第一句话“This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.”中的this，就是指的上文的“To become great at certain things, it'll require even more time, time that most people won't put in.”由此可知答案。

34．B 推理判断题。

在这一段里作者告诉我们：It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent，但接着又说：but thinking that way does you no good。

由此可以看出，有时候人的成功是靠运气和天赋的，但是如果我们这样认为对我们是没有好处的。

由此可推知答案。

35．C 主旨大意题。

纵观全文可以看出，文章首先向我们分析了成功的因素，怎样才能成功，同时也剖析了对成功的一些错误的认识，最后一段总结全文，概括了主题，告诉我们成功需要日复一日(work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time)的努力和辛勤的工作(hard work)。

由此可知答案。

2016高考英语----阅读理解训练。

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。

Silence is unnatural to man. He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. In between he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and he fears silence more than anything else. Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence. If he is introduced to another person, and a number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards himself as a failure, a worthless person, and is full of envy of the emptiest headed chatterbox (喋喋不休的人). He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure (蜡塑人像).
The aim of conversation is not, for the most part, to communicate ideas; it is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz; there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito (蚊子). But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person. Most buzzing, fortunately, is pleasant to the ear, and some of it is pleasant even to the mind. He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.
Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people’s ears, tho ugh they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time, they just prove themselves to be successful conservationists
5. According to the author, people make conversation to ______
A. exchange ideas
B. prove their value
C. achieve success in life
D. overcome their fear of silence
6. By "the buzzing of a fly" (Para. 1), the author m eans"________”
A. the noise of an insect
B. a low whispering sound
C. meaningless talks
D. the voice of a chatterbox
7. According to the passage, people usually talk to their neighbors ______.
A. about whatever they have prepared
B. about whatever they want to
C. in the hope of learning something new
D. in the hope of getting on well
8. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage? ________.
A. To discuss why people like talking about weather.
B. To encourage people to join in conversations.
C. To persuade people to stop making noises.
D. To explain why people keep talking.
