Unit 1 Hope and Love 课下练熟高考阅读理解提速练练速度(限时：20分钟)A(2017重庆六校第一次联考)As a young man, Al was a skilled artist, a potter with a wife and two fine sons. One night, his older son developed a severe stomachache. Thinking it was only some common intestinal (肠的) disorder, neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously. But the boy died suddenly that night.Knowing the death could have been avoided if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, he always felt he was guilty. To make matters worse, his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his sixyearold younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Al could stand, and he turned to alcohol for help. In time, Al became an alcoholic.As the alcoholism progressed, Al began to lose everything he possessed his land, house, etc. Finally Al died alone in a small bar. Hearing of Als death, I thought, “What a totally wasted life! What a complete failure！”As time went by, I began to revalue my earlier rough judgment. I knew Als now adult son, Ernie. He is one of the kindest, most caring, and most loving men I have ever known. I saw the love between Ernie and his children, thinking that kindness and love had to come from somewhere.I hadnt heard Ernie talk much about his father. One day, I worked up my courage to ask him what on earth his father had done so that he became such a special person. Ernie said quietly, “As a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, Love you, son.”Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to judge Al as a failure. He had not left any material possessions behind. But he had been a kind and loving father, and left behind his best love.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。一个在作者眼中极其失败的人却是一位伟大的父亲，并且培养出了一个极其善良且充满爱心的儿子。1What directly made the author think of Al as a failure?AHis losing everything and his life.BHis older sons death.CHis strong addiction to alcohol.DHis wifes divorcing him.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“As the alcoholism progressed . died alone in a small bar.”及“What a totally . a complete failure！”可知，A项正确。2What can we infer from Als son, Ernie?AHis fathers life was indeed wasted.BThe love from his father made him what he was.CA great fortune must have been left to him.DHe was not very kind but very loving.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第五段中的“I worked up my courage . such a special person.”和“Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, Love you, son.”可推知，正是父亲的爱才使他成为现在的样子，故选B项。3Which of the following changed the writers earlier judgment?AAl was indeed very wealthy and left behind lots of material possessions.BAls son, Ernie, grew into a kind, loving and caring person.CAl had been totally devoted to educating his son, Ernie.DAl was not only responsible for his son but also for his own success.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第四段中的“As time went by, I began to revalue my earlier rough judgment.”及“He is one of the . come from somewhere.”可知，作者本来以为Al是一个失败者，但是他的儿子却是一个善良且充满爱心的人，这一点让作者改变了自己原来的看法，故选B项。4What might be the best title of the article?ALove you, son！BA failure father!CParents love!

Now, it is traditional for Britons to make a fake (假的) “Guy” every year from old clothes and burn it on the fire.If you visit a small town in the southwest of the country, you might see men from the village run through the crowded streets with huge wooden barrels on their backs, then fill them with tar (焦油) and set them on fire. And in Lewes, a town in the southern English county of Sussex, different groups of bonfire societies parade (游行) the streets, each wearing their own unique outfits and carrying a giant mascot (吉祥物), which they burn at their own bonfire party at the end of the evening.Bonfire Night is also a time for “chili con carne”， a dish made from slowcooked beef mince, tomatoes, kidney beans, onions, and spices. It is often served on top of a hot jacket potato with butter and cheese. Its not the most elegant dish in the world but its sure to warm people up while they brave the cold for the festivities.But for many Britons, the night is not complete without “bonfire treacle toffee (太妃糖)”， which is also known as “plot toffee”， named after Guy Fawkes plot to blow up parliament. The toffee is rock hard and is often broken with a hammer and handed out to guests.Whether its the sound of fireworks making Britain sound like a war zone, the hearty winter food, or the excuse to light a huge fire, Bonfire Night has something for everyone. Just watch out for those rockets!语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。主要向读者介绍了英国的一个节日篝火之夜，包括这个节日的历史背景和人们在这个节日里举办的活动等。8What is Guy Fawkes Night?AA person to explode the parliament.BA guy to be controlled in the UK.CA symbol for Britons to enter winter.DA dish famous to British people.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第一段的内容可知，在Bonfire Night那天，人们开始穿上冬天的棉衣，坐在火堆旁取暖。由此可推知，这个节日标志着英国要进入冬季了。C项符合题意。故答案选C。9Why
