Ⅳ.阅读理解
2023·永州第一中学高一检测 In 1878, when Margaret Wolfe Hungerford wrote “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, she was saying that there was no fixed view on beauty. Standards of beauty change over time and cultural groups.
Traditions and fashions, like society itself, change and adapt with time. So it is reasonable that our ideas of beauty change as well. In the
19thcentury Europe, women used to wear corsets(束身衣) to achieve a body shape that is no longer considered healthy. Men would wear woolen shawls(披肩) across their shoulders. It is hard to imagine that they would be seen as attractive in the 21st century.
Nowadays culture remains a major part in determining our ideas of beauty. In some countries, young women follow slimming diets to lose extra kilos in preparation for their wedding day. In other cultures, looking thin is not what a woman desires at all—rather, looking a little overweight is considered more attractive.
With the influence of history, society and culture, there are no fixed standards which can be used to judge what is beautiful. Lifelong efforts and the development of society itself depend on people seeing beauty in difference and depth. The human race would soon die out if we could only see beauty within a set of limited standards.
Physical beauty must also be closely related to an attraction to something deeper within a person. This special kind of attraction is found in a wide range of personal qualities, e.g. kindness, warmth, etc.
Judging the attraction of a person's inner beauty is much more subjective(主观的). It takes more than a quick look to admire it and it is much more important than physical beauty.
Beauty, therefore, is shown in different forms. We are influenced by our culture, our biology and our time in history to notice physical beauty quickly and easily, but it is inner beauty that requires us to truly see. Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder.
( )1.How does the writer present his point of view in Paragraph 3?
A.Listing numbers.
B.Using examples.
C.Comparing standards of beauty.
D.Using famous sayings.
C
( )2.What does the writer intend to tell us in Paragraph 4?
A.People often see beauty in difference and depth.
B.Fixed standards should be made to judge beauty.
C.Human beings will die out without limited standards.
D.Many elements contribute to different standards of beauty.
D
( )3.What can we learn about physical beauty?
A.Physical beauty matters most.
B.Personal qualities determine physical beauty.
C.Physical beauty is less important than inner beauty.
D.Physical beauty has nothing to do with inner beauty.
C
( )4.What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A.Beauty Is Power
B.Beauty Is Nowhere to Be Found
C.Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beholder
D.Beauty Can Only Be Found in Hard Work
C
【文本大意】美受到历史、社会和文化的影响,没有固定标准,呈现形式多样。
1.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In some countries, young women follow slimming diets to lose extra kilos in preparation for their wedding day. In other cultures, looking thin is not what a woman desires at all—rather, looking a little overweight is considered more attractive.(在一些国家,年轻女性为了准备婚礼,会遵循减肥食谱来减掉额外的体重。在其他文化中,女人根本不希望自己看起来很瘦——相反,看起来有点胖被
认为更有吸引力。)”可知,作者通过比较不同国家文化中美的标准来呈现他的观点。故选C。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“With the influence of history, society and culture, there are no fixed standards which can be used to judge what is beautiful.(由于历史、社会和文化的影响,没有固定的标准可以用来判断什么是美。)”可知,许多因素促成了不同的美的标准。故选D。
3.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Judging the attraction of a person's inner beauty is much more subjective(主观的). It takes more than a quick look to admire it and it is much more important than physical beauty.(判断一个人内在美的吸引力要主观得多。欣赏内在美不只是快速看一眼,它比外表美更重要。)”可知,内在美比外表美更重要,即外表美不如内在美重要。故选C。
4.C 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“In 1878, when Margaret Wolfe Hungerford wrote ‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder’, she was saying that there was no fixed view on beauty.(1878年,当玛格丽特·沃尔夫·亨格福德写下‘情人眼里出西施’时,她是在说关于美没有固定的看法。)”和下文内容可知,文章通过借用名言“情人眼里出西施”引出话题——美没有固定标准,美受到历史、社会和文化的影响,呈现形式多样,因此C项“情人眼里出西施”适合作为文章标题。故选C。

【文本大意】本文主要介绍了世界各地的移民趋向。
1.E 根据上文“An immigrant is a person who has come to live permanently in a foreign country.(移民是指去外国永久居住的人。)”可知,E项“超过1.45亿移民生活在他们的祖国之外。”符合语境,承接上文,继续说明移民的情况,其中live outside their native countries与上文的live permanently in a foreign country相对应。故选E。
2.D 根据下文“while others are looking for better living conditions(而其他人则在寻找更好的生活条件)”中的while可知,空处和下文是对比关系,D项“一些移民与家人团聚或结婚。”符合语境,其中Some与下文others对应,说明移民的不同归宿。故选D。
3.A 根据上文“Where are immigrants moving from?(移民从哪里迁移出来?)”和空后介绍移民从哪些国家迁移到哪些国家可知,A项“And what countries are they moving to(他们要移居到哪些国家)”符合语境,引出下文,介绍移民迁移到哪里去,该选项中的moving to与上文的moving from相对应,they指代上文的复数可数名词immigrants。故选A。
4.B 下文“As a result of immigration, many city neighbourhoods change.(由于移民的影响,许多城市的街区都发生了变化。)”说明移民对城市街区的影响;分析句子结构可知,空后为逗号和一个完整的句子,空处应该为一个从句,综合所给选项可知,B项“When immigrants arrive in a new country(当移民来到一个新的国家)”与空后句子在结构上构成复合句,在语义上承接自然,当移民来到一个新的国家时,他们通常住在城市街区,这导致许多城市的街区都发生了变化。故选B。
5.G 下文“In Los Angeles, 37% of the population is foreign born, and
children in the public schools speak 82 different languages. In New York, 40% of the population is foreign born, and children speak 140 different languages in the schools.(在洛杉矶,37%的人口是在外国出生的,公立学校的孩子说82种不同的语言。在纽约,40%的人口是在外国出生的,孩子们在学校里说140种不同的语言。)”说明移民为洛杉矶和纽约带来的变化,G项“Los Angeles and New York are two cities in the US with very large immigrant populations(洛杉矶和纽约是美国两个移民人口非常多的城市)”总述洛杉矶和纽约的移民人口非常多,引出下文对这两个城市情况的具体介绍。故选G。

【文本大意】文章主要讲述了作者对中国文化的热爱。
1.exposure 考查名词。分析句子结构可知,空处为句子的主语,此处表示“第一次接触”,因此应用名词形式,exposure意为“接触”,为不可数名词。故填exposure。
2.shelves 考查名词的数。“one of+可数名词复数”表示“……之一”。故填shelves。
3.an 考查冠词。此处泛指一个八岁的孩子,且eight以元音音素开头。故填an。
4.which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处与介词by引导定语从句,修饰先行词philosophical tradition,先行词指物,因此关系代词用which。故填which。
5.combining 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,逗号前为完整的句子,谓语动词为developed,因此combine需用非谓语动词形式,动词combine和其逻辑主语My interest in the language之间是主动关系,因此用现在分词形式。故填combining。
6.nation's 考查名词所有格。此处表示“这个国家的”,表所属关系,因此用名词所有格形式。故填nation's。
7.than 考查连词。根据more clearly和句意可知,此处应用连词than引出比较的对象。故填than。
8.has been 考查时态和主谓一致。根据In recent years可知,用现在完成时;主语为a rise,谓语动词用单数形式。故填has been。
9.shared 考查形容词。空处应用形容词作定语修饰名词love,此处表示共同的食物爱好。故填shared。
10.begins 考查时态和主谓一致。空处在谚语中作谓语,说明客观道理,时态用一般现在时;主语为A journey,因此谓语动词用单数形式。故填begins。
