2019年高考英語二輪復習 專題三 閱讀理解 第三節(jié) 題組訓練 10 說理議論+社會文化+應用廣告+逸聞趣事(xx·紅橋區(qū)二模)In modern society there is a great deal of argument about petition.Some value it highly，believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity(繁榮)Others say that petition is bad，that it sets one person against another，and that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills.For them，playing well and winning are often live-and-death affairs.In their single-minded pursuit of success，the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However，while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed，others take an opposite attitude.In a culture which only values the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly criticize petition.Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under petitive pressures from their parents or society.Teaching these young people，I often observe in them a desire to fail.They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success.By not trying，they always have an excuse：“I may have lost，but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost，that would mean a lot.Such a loss would be a measure of their worth.Clearly，this belief is the same as that of true petitors who try to prove themselves.Both are based on the mistaken belief that ones self-respect relies on how well one performs in parison with others.Both are afraid of not being valued.Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to disappear can we discover a new meaning in petition.語篇解讀本文為議論文，題材為社會生活。文章討論的是人們對于競爭的不同態(tài)度。有的人非常重視競爭，認為它有益于社會的進步；有的人認為競爭對人的發(fā)展不利。1What does this passage mainly talk about?Apetition helps to set up self-respect.BOpinions about petition are different among people.Cpetition is harmful to personal quality development.DFailures are necessary experience in petition.答案B解析主旨大意題。本文主要介紹了人們對于競爭所持的不同態(tài)度。2Why do some people favor petition according to the passage?AIt pushes society forward.BIt builds up a sense of duty.CIt improves personal abilities.DIt encourages individual efforts.答案A解析細節(jié)理解題。由首段第二句可知答案。3The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means “ ”Athose who try their best to winBthose who value petition most highlyCthose who are against petition most stronglyDthose who rely on others most for success答案C解析詞義猜測題。由第三段中“others take an opposite attitude”及“they strongly criticize petition”可知，畫線短語指“強烈反對競爭的人”。4What is the similar belief of the true petitors and those with a “desire to fail”？AOnes worth lies in his performance pared with others.BOnes success in petition needs great efforts.COnes achievement is determined by his particular skills.DOnes success is based on how hard he has tried.答案A解析細節(jié)理解題。由文章尾段倒數(shù)第三句“Both are based on the mistaken belief that ones self-respect relies on how well one performs in parison with others.”可知答案。5Which point of view may the author agree to?AEvery effort should be paid back.Bpetition should be encouraged.CWinning should be a life-and-death matter.DFear of failure should be removed in petition.答案D解析推理判斷題。尾段最后一句表明了作者的觀點：只有當這種基本的、害怕失敗的態(tài)度消失時，我們才能找到競爭的真正含義。即作者認為在競爭中，不要總擔心失敗。BGoing shopping seems easy，but actually it takes a lot of learning，especially in America.In fact，many Americans who are not so well-off often shop at “sales” or at special stores that sell things at low prices，which you may find interesting.In America，the important rule of dressing is that one should change his or her clothes every day.For example，in an American college，neither professors nor students are seen in the same clothes two days in a row.So you may find it necessary to buy more clothes than you have in China.While you are shopping in the States，you will discover that prices range considerably from time to time.The purchase of used，second-hand clothing，furniture，or other household articles may be an excellent way of saving money.Most second-hand clothes are of pretty good quality.If you are going to settle down in the States and want some furniture，you may go to a “l(fā)oan closet”，where furniture rents at low cost，or you may also go to a “furniture exchange” place in the munity.Sheets，blankets，and other bedclothes go on sale in most munities twice a year.Advertisements for “white sales” on bed linen，towels，etc.often appear in January，as well as in May，June or July.Once or twice every season，there will be “garage sales”，where you can get almost anything，from a yacht to a pair of shoes，at low prices.Prices at “discount stores” and “thrift shops” are also as low as you can imagine.When shopping for food，you should look for special prices for various items that are put on sale weekly.To economize，it would be a good idea for you to plan the weekly menu according to what is on sale，including in it the meats，vegetables，fruits，etc.that can be bought at special prices that week.Exchange and return policies vary from store to store.You should also keep in mind that exchange and return policies for sales items can be different from standard store policies，especially if the price of the items has been reduced.Ask the merchant about their exchange and return policies before making your purchase.Obtaining an exchange or a return without a store receipt is often difficult.So，to save yourself the headache，youd better hold on to any paper or other proof of purchase.語篇解讀 本文主要講述在美國購物時，有時價格變化會很大，作者對此給出了一些建議。6People shopping in America will

paragraph refer to?AThe exchange and return policy.BA sales item.CA store receipt.DThe standard store policy.答案C解析詞義猜測題。根據(jù)上文語境“Obtaining an exchange or a return without a store receipt is often
