2015黑龙江省铁力市高考英语阅读理解暑假训练（2）及答案
阅读理解------A
President George Bush is heading to Camp David for Thanksgiving, thankful for his almost-expired "privilege of serving as the president."
President-elect Barack Obama is staying in Chicago to "have a whole bunch of people over to the house" and squeeze in some Christmas shopping.
On a holiday designed for reflection(回忆), one ma n, historically unpopular, is heading to a remote mountaintop with his family. The other, promising change, is surrounding himself with dozens of people in a busy city.
Dressed casually in a leather jacket and black scarf on Wednesday, Obama handed out food to the needy at a Chicago church with wife Michelle and their two daughters, shaking hands and happily telling people "you can call me Barack."
He followed that with a quick visit to a school next door, where he asked the excited kids, "Who's going to have turkey?" "Who's going to have green beans?" "Who's going to have sweet potato pie?"
Obama has shown a knack(窍门) for symbolism, in this case following the Thanksgiving tradition of helping the poor, said David Greenberg, a Rutgers University historian who is working on a history of political spin.
"Here he's showing a different side of himself, the president as national conscience or moral authority. I think that's probably a good note for him to introduce in a transition per iod that's been so heavily focused on Wall Street and the financial system and these economic problems," he said. "He's not forgetting who these economic problems are hurting the most."
For Bush, his final Thanksgiving in office is provi ng a time for nostalgia. He always reflects a bit at Thanksgiving, but he went further as he spared（放飞）the Thanksgiving turkey, "Pumpkin," on Wednesday.
He gave thanks to troops and volunteers, to teachers and pastors, to all the American people. Then he gave thanks for his wife and twin daughters —"two
Thanksgiving miracles who we were blessed with 27 years ago" — and that his mother, former first lady Barbara Bush, was doing well after being hospitalized. "Most of all," he said, "I thank the American people for the tremendous privilege
of serving as the president."
This Thanksgiving, Obama used the opportunity for a relatively rare public event
with his wife and children, Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10 —and a chance for a little lesson
for the kids.
"I want them to learn the importance of how fortunate they are and to make sure
they're giving back," he said of bringing the girls to the church.
And what's he thankful for?
"I just want you to know what I'm thankful for is my family and my friends and
my community," he told the schoolchildren. "That's the most important thing."
1. The best title of the passage should be _______
A. Thanksgiving for Bush and Obama
B. Thanksgiving Day
C. How to celebrate Thanksgiving Day
D. Thanksgiving Day for presidents
答案解析：答案为A。

本题考查文章的标题。

全文报道了即将卸任的总统Bush和新选举的总
统Obama各自在感恩节做的事情。

故答案为A。

2. The underlined word “squeeze” in paragraph 2 is closest to _______
A. force
B. push
C. join
D. take
答案解析：答案为C。

本题为词义猜测题。

结合下文的第三段“On a holiday designed for reflection, one man, historically unpopular, is heading to a remote mountaintop with
his family. The other, promising change, is surrounding himself with dozens of people
in a busy city.”可知，“one man”指的是第一段提到的President George Bush，他和家
人一起要去遥远的山顶；“The other”指的是第二段提到的President-elect Barack Obama，
他在繁忙的城市中，周围都是人。

可以推断，第二段写的是新选举的总统Obama加入了圣诞
节的购物潮中，因此squeeze意思最接近“join”，故答案为C。

3. Which of the following is NOT right according to the passge?
A. Bush is thought highly of by the people in the article.
B. Bush’s daughters are 27 years old now.
C. Obama visited some of the people who needed help.
D. Bush gave thanks to troops and volunteers, to teachers and pastors, to all the
American people.
答案解析：答案为A。

本题为细节题。

由第三段“On a holiday designed for reflection, one man, historically unpopular, is heading to a remote mountaintop with his family.”可知，“one man”在历史上不受欢迎，结合上题的分析，“one man”指的是Bush，因此A选项“文中人们对Bush评价很高”错误，故答案为A。

第九段写的是Bush, 由文中“He gave than ks to troops and volunteers, to teachers and pastors, to all the American people. Then he gave thanks for his wife and twin daughters —‘two Thanksgiving miracles who we were blessed with 27 years ago’…”可知，B、D选项符合文意。

由第四段“Dressed casually in a leather jack et and black scarf on Wednesday, Obama handed out food to the needy at a Chicago church…”可知，C选项符合文意。

4. The passage suggests that _______
A It’s a tradition for a US president to spare a turkey on Thanksgiving Day.
B On Thanksgiving Day, Obama mainly has a get-together with his family and friends.
C Obama asked his two daughters to make contribution to the US economy.
D Bush thinks it a honour and also a pity to be the US president.
答案解析：答案为A。

本题为细节推理题，解答此题可用排除法。

由第十一段“This Thanksgiving, Obama used the opportunity for a relativ ely rare public event with his wife and children, Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10 — and a chance for a little lesson for the kids.”可知，Obama利用这个机会和妻子孩子团聚，没有和朋友一起，故B选项错误。

C、D选项未提。

因此只有选择A选项“对于美国总统来说感恩节放飞火鸡是一种传统”，文中第八段提到“For Bush, his final Th anksgiving in office is proving a time for nostalgia. He always reflects a bit at Thanksgiving, but he went further as he spared the Thanksgiving turkey, "Pumpkin," on Wednesday.”由此可知，A选项是正确的。

LONDON—A British judge on Thursday s entenced a businessman who sold fake (假冒的) bomb detectors (探测器) to 10 years in prison, saying the man hadn't care d about potentially deadly consequences.
It is believed that James McCormick got about $77.8 million from the sales of his detectors—which were based on a kind of golf ball finder—to countries including Iraq, Belgium and Saudi Arabia.
McCormick,57, was convicted (判罪) of cheat last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.
“Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially
contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people，” Judge Richard Hone told McCormick. “You have neither regret, nor shame, nor any sense of guilt.”
The detectors, sold for up to $42,000 each, were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they “lack ed any grounding in science” and were of no use.
McCormick had told the court th at he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya, the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.
“I never had any bad results from customers，” he said.
文章大意：一个生意人因出售假冒伪劣的炸弹侦探器而被捕，但本人却拒不承认。

D．caused innocent people to commit crimes

11．Which of the following is true of the detectors?
A．They have not been sold to Africa.
B．They have caused many serious problems.
C．They can find dangerous objects in water.
D．They don't function on the basis of science.
答案：D 细节理解题，由第五段最后一句话，这些产品缺乏科学基础，毫无用处，可知答案选D。

A．sold the equipment at a low price
B．was wellknown in most countries
