(三)综合性阅读 阅读下面短文,按要求完成下列各题。
(1)Daniel was always making excuses for forgetting to do things.His usual excuse was: “ I was too busy.” or “I didn’t have time.”
Daniel’s parents were worried about him.“ He shouldn’t go through life making excuses all the time.” his father said.“ No one will trust him to do anything.He won’t be able to keep a job.No sensible(明智的)girl will marry him.”
(2)“I don’t know what we can do.” his mother said.“I have an idea.” his father said.“If this doesn’t work, nothing will.”
The next day was Daniel’s birthday.He was really looking forward to getting exciting presents.He woke up, expecting his parents to wish him a happy birthday.But all day what they said was “Good morning, Daniel.Hurry, or you will be late for school.” There were no presents, not even a card.He was really disappointed.“Never mind.” he thought.(3) “There’ll be a surprise for me after school.” But there wasn’t.Sadly he said to his parents at dinner, “Today’s my birthday.”
“Oh,” his father said.“So it is.I forgot.”
“So did I.” his mother said.“How could you forget?” Daniel asked.“There must be a reason.”
“Well, yes.” his father said.“We have a really good excuse for forgetting your birthday, Daniel.We didn’t remember your birthday because we were too busy.”
Poor Daniel! He never had a silly excuse for not doing something again.

第5题：
I met him on the Internet and we chatted for several months. Every time I suggested we meet in person，he would come up with an excuse. I thought it was strange-but he told me that he had not gotten over the death of his wife and he was still grieving for her.
I thought that he needed a friend and decided that I could be that friend. We sent cards, exchanged gifts，talked on the phone and I was sure that we would meet someday. I had spoken with his children so I was sure that what he told me was true. I could not wait for the day when we would meet. I was so looking forward to being able to reach out and touch him. To hug him，to hold him and feel his big strong arms around me.
After almost two years of time，thousands of dollars on long distance phone calls，I was very frustrated at the endless stream of excuses as to why we could never seem to make a time to meet. Finally，contacted the website WhoisHe. com and asked if they could check out the man who had taken up so much of my heart，my energy and my life. I had enough information about him and felt that if I could confirm what he had been telling me-I could feel okay about these delays. I had hopes that I didn't want to dash if he was telling the truth. I believed I could wait a little while longer.
Well, I am glad that I decided to have him checked out-he was nothing he claimed to be. He was first and foremost a married man. He was not a man grieving for the loss of his wife. He was a man cheating on his wife，with me-and I found out later，with countless others on the“net”. He did not care that he had hurt me in a very deep and pathetic way. He talked of spending his life together with me. He told my son that he wanted to make me happy. Basically，he just lied. He was such a good liar I did not see it coming. It was as if he had been able to worm his way into my heart-and he didn't care about the effect he had on my hopes and dreams.
Each of us should look at the signs that are so clear if we are willing to see them. Do not let someone keep making excuse after excuse. If something feels wrong-likely it is. It is good to know the truth and be able to deal with it. Next time I will pay more attention. I may never be able to trust someone online again.
It can be inferred from Para. 4 that______.
A．the man was a single person in reality
B．the woman was the man's only girlfriend
C．the man had too many girlfriends on the net
D．the woman had countless online boyfriends
正确答案：C

The Mind-Body Connections
Norman Cousins was a famous American magazine editor. In 1964,he returned from an overseas trip
and then became very ill.In the hospital,he had a terrible pain and couldn't move his body.Doctors told
him he had a serious disease called ankylosing spondylitis（强直性脊柱炎）and said he had only 1 chance in
500 of surviving. They gave him powerful drugs,but his condition only got worse.
Cousins had read about a theory that negative emotions can harm your health.He believed that positive
emotions were good for one's health,and he decided to try an experiment.He would fill his days with good
feelings and laughter and see if that might improve his condition.
He left the hospital and moved into a hotel room.There,he got a large supply of funny TV programs and
copies of old Marx Brothers movies and cartoons.He also hired a nurse to read funny stories to him.His plan
was to spend the whole day laughing and thinking about happy things.On his first night in the hotel,Cousins
found that laughing at the movies helped his body produce chemicals that reduced pain.For the first time in
weeks,he could sleep comfortably for a few hours.Every time the pain came back,he watched another
funny movie and laughed until he felt better.
Over time,Cousins was able to measure changes in his body with blood tests.He found that the harmful
chemicals in his body decreased at least 5 percent every time he watched a funny movie.After a short time,
he was able to stop taking all of his medications.Finally his condition improved so much that he could go
back to work.
Cousins later wrote a book about how laughter and happiness helped him to survive a deadly illness.
Many people didn't believe his story and said that his doctors were wrong about his disease.But since then,
research has found that emotions do have a strong effect on physical health,and experiments found that
laughter can help to reduce pain.Scientists today are working to understand the ways that our minds affect
our bodies.Cousins spent a lot of time laughing every day.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：A解析：由文章第一段第二句“In 1 964 , he returned from an overseas trip and then became very ill.”可知，Norman Cousins是在一次海外旅行归来之后才生病的，故选B。
由文章第一段倒数第二句中“Doctors told him…he had only 1 chance in 500 of survi-ving.”可知，医生告诉Norman Cousins，他只有1/500的可能生还，这也就意味着他极有可能会 死，故选A。
由文章第一段的最后一句话“They gave him powerful drugs , but his condition only got worse.”可知，医生开的药只让他的情况变得更加糟糕，通过下文的叙述可知，Norman Cousins 的病是经愉悦心情的影响而好转的，故选B。
由文章的第二、三段可知，Norman Cousins之所以看电影是因为他在读过一个消极情绪 影响健康的理论，他决定用切身的实践来验证愉悦的心情能改善健康状况。他看电影是让自 己发笑，保持好心情。
由文章第三段的内容可知，Norman Cousins的计划是花上一整天的时间大笑，想象愉快 的事情；他找很多有趣的电视节目和许多喜剧电影和卡通作品，甚至还请了一位护士给他读滑 稽故事。因此他一天中大部分时间在笑声中度过，故选A。
文中仅仅提及了Norman Cousins用电影和滑稽故事来使自己保持心情愉悦，并未提及 哪一种更为有效，故选C。
由文章最后一段第二句“Many people didn ' t believe his story and said that...”可知，许多 人都不相信Norman Cousins在自己所著的书中提到的经历，故选B。 -

Passage Two
The thought of not sleeping for twenty-four hours or more is not a pleasant one for most people．The amount of sleep that each person needs varies．In general,each of us needs about eight hours of sleep each day to keep our bodies healthy and happy．Some people,however,can get by just a few hours of sleep at night．
It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps．But everyone needs some rest to stay alive．Few doctors would have thought that there might be an exception on this．Sleep is,after all,a very basic need．But a man named AI Herpin turned out to be a real exception,for supposedly,he never slept!
A1 Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersey．They hoped to negate the claims that he never slept．But they were surprised．Though they watched him every hour of the day,they never saw Herpin sleeping．He did not even own a bed．He never needed one．
The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rocking chair and read a half dozen news-papers．His doctors were baffled by this strange case of permanent insomnia．Herpin offered the only clue to his condition．He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days be-fore he had been born．Herpin died at the age of 94,never having slept a wink．
The most likely reason on Herpion's insomnia was______A.his mother's injury before he was born
B.that he never got tired
C.his magnificent physical condition
D.that he got enough rest rocking答案：A解析：暂无解析 -

The Mind-Body Connections
Norman Cousins was a famous American magazine editor. In 1964,he returned from an overseas trip
and then became very ill.In the hospital,he had a terrible pain and couldn't move his body.Doctors told
him he had a serious disease called ankylosing spondylitis（强直性脊柱炎）and said he had only 1 chance in
500 of surviving. They gave him powerful drugs,but his condition only got worse.
Cousins had read about a theory that negative emotions can harm your health.He believed that positive
emotions were good for one's health,and he decided to try an experiment.He would fill his days with good
feelings and laughter and see if that might improve his condition.
He left the hospital and moved into a hotel room.There,he got a large supply of funny TV programs and
copies of old Marx Brothers movies and cartoons.He also hired a nurse to read funny stories to him.His plan
was to spend the whole day laughing and thinking about happy things.On his first night in the hotel,Cousins
found that laughing at the movies helped his body produce chemicals that reduced pain.For the first time in
weeks,he could sleep comfortably for a few hours.Every time the pain came back,he watched another
funny movie and laughed until he felt better.
Over time,Cousins was able to measure changes in his body with blood tests.He found that the harmful
chemicals in his body decreased at least 5 percent every time he watched a funny movie.After a short time,
he was able to stop taking all of his medications.Finally his condition improved so much that he could go
back to work.
Cousins later wrote a book about how laughter and happiness helped him to survive a deadly illness.
Many people didn't believe his story and said that his doctors were wrong about his disease.But since then,
research has found that emotions do have a strong effect on physical health,and experiments found that
laughter can help to reduce pain.Scientists today are working to understand the ways that our minds affect
our bodies.Drugs helped to stop the pain of Cousins'disease.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：B解析：由文章第一段第二句“In 1 964 , he returned from an overseas trip and then became very ill.”可知，Norman Cousins是在一次海外旅行归来之后才生病的，故选B。
由文章第一段倒数第二句中“Doctors told him…he had only 1 chance in 500 of survi-ving.”可知，医生告诉Norman Cousins，他只有1/500的可能生还，这也就意味着他极有可能会 死，故选A。
由文章第一段的最后一句话“They gave him powerful drugs , but his condition only got worse.”可知，医生开的药只让他的情况变得更加糟糕，通过下文的叙述可知，Norman Cousins 的病是经愉悦心情的影响而好转的，故选B。
由文章的第二、三段可知，Norman Cousins之所以看电影是因为他在读过一个消极情绪 影响健康的理论，他决定用切身的实践来验证愉悦的心情能改善健康状况。他看电影是让自 己发笑，保持好心情。
由文章第三段的内容可知，Norman Cousins的计划是花上一整天的时间大笑，想象愉快 的事情；他找很多有趣的电视节目和许多喜剧电影和卡通作品，甚至还请了一位护士给他读滑 稽故事。因此他一天中大部分时间在笑声中度过，故选A。
文中仅仅提及了Norman Cousins用电影和滑稽故事来使自己保持心情愉悦，并未提及 哪一种更为有效，故选C。
由文章最后一段第二句“Many people didn ' t believe his story and said that...”可知，许多 人都不相信Norman Cousins在自己所著的书中提到的经历，故选B。 -

第20题：
Passage Two
The thought of not sleeping for twenty-four hours or more is not a pleasant one for most people．The amount of sleep that each person needs varies．In general,each of us needs about eight hours of sleep each day to keep our bodies healthy and happy．Some people,however,can get by just a few hours of sleep at night．
It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps．But everyone needs some rest to stay alive．Few doctors would have thought that there might be an exception on this．Sleep is,after all,a very basic need．But a man named AI Herpin turned out to be a real exception,for supposedly,he never slept!
A1 Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersey．They hoped to negate the claims that he never slept．But they were surprised．Though they watched him every hour of the day,they never saw Herpin sleeping．He did not even own a bed．He never needed one．
The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rocking chair and read a half dozen news-papers．His doctors were baffled by this strange case of permanent insomnia．Herpin offered the only clue to his condition．He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days be-fore he had been born．Herpin died at the age of 94,never having slept a wink．
The expression“get by”,in the last sentence of the first paragraph is______A.a confusing expression
B.a rude expression
C.an everyday expression
D.an improper expression答案：C解析：暂无解析 -

第二篇
Lawrence Curry
When I tell people my name,they always ask me if I'm related to Lawrence Curry,the novelist,and when I say,yes,he was my great-uncle,they always want to know what he was like. "We've read all his books,"they say,"but please tell us what he was really like."When I described him,as I knew him,they go disappointed.It seems that they find it difficult to accept such a great figure could have had such an ordinary character.
My great-uncle was tall,with a long thin body.When he walked,he moved stiffly,with his arms clamped against his sides,looking like nothing so much as a pair of scissors.When I knew him,his hair as quite white,though it was supposed to have been yellow when he was young. His eyes were blue and deep set and had an anxious look about them as if he found the world a puzzling place.This expression of anxiety,which arose from nothing more than short-sight一he refused to wear glasses一inspire the protective instincts of his lady admirers,much to the irritation my great-aunt who thought all women were fools,except herself.
Great-uncle Curry was naturally lazy. He spent a great deal of his time in the village pub playing darts.He was also a compulsive reader from the local telephone directory to great-aunt's shopping lists.For a man whose book showed such a deep perception of the complexities of human behavior, his conversation was surprisingly trivial.He delighted in discussing English weather,the price of beer,his grandchildren's most amusing words.
He loved gossip,but he was kind.I never heard him make a malicious remark,but the wisdom of his writing never appeared in his conversation.As a child,we much preferred the company of his cousin,Stanly,who was a successful shop-owner who always brought us bags of sugar and broken biscuits.Taking it all in all,I have to admit my famous great-uncle was rather a bore.My great-uncle always had an anxious expression because_________.
A:he found the world a confusing place
B:he was always thinking complex things
C:he didn't have a good eyesight
D:he was worried about what was going to happen to him答案：C解析：根据文章第一段最后一句：" It seems that they find it difficult to accept such a great figure could have had such an ordinary character.”由此可以判断人们失望是因为他们很难接受这样一个伟大的人物居然是这样一个普通人，所以选B。
第二段第五句提到：" This expression of anxiety , which arose from nothing more than short-sight"，他焦虑的神情来自于他的近视，所以选C“他视力不好”。 arise在文中的意思是“起因于······，由······产生”。
第二段第五句提到：" This expression of anxiety...inspire the protective in-stincts of his lady admirers" , inspire意为“激发”' protective instinct意为“保护的本能”。所以选 B，即让他的女性崇拜者想要保护他。
文章的后两段指出了劳伦斯是一个天生懒惰、无聊的人，有强迫阅读症，只有D“劳伦斯是一个幽默的人”这点在全文都没有提及，所以选D。
文章的最后一段提到：" Stanly , who...who always brought us bags of sugar and broken biscuits"，小孩子更喜欢叔祖父的表兄是因为他总带给他们糖和饼干，都是孩子爱吃的东西，所以B正确。 -
