2013年高考英語二輪專題復(fù)習(xí)命題預(yù)測25閱讀理解閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(a、b、c和d)中,選出最佳選項,并在機讀卡上將該項涂黑。aitalians like to say that when it comes to alcohol, they have a sipping culture rather than a drinking culture. that means that while italians may enjoy a glass of wine or beer, they dont usually get very drunk. thats not true anymore. the new study by the italian national health institute found that 63 percent of italians under age 18 get drunk on the weekends. now, the city of milan has created a law that will stop anyone under 16 from buying alcohol. anyone who sells or gives alcohol to a person under 16 can be fined up to $700. young people who feel that the new law is unfair should go to the us for some perspective. the us has the highest drinking age in the world: its illegal for anyone under 21 to buy alcohol, and stores or restaurants that are caught selling alcohol to people under the legal age risk losing their licenses. many young americans complain that the drinking laws are unfair: they are allowed to vote in elections and join the military at age 18, so why wait another three years just to buy a bottle of beer? these young people have found help in an unusual place. last year, more than 100 presidents of us universities joined together to ask lawmakers to consider changing the drinking age. they argued that the law doesnt stop underage college kids from getting drunk it just makes them want to drink more. for now, the law seems unlikely to change. but us teenagers who want alcohol can go north to canada, where the drinking age is 18-19, or south to mexico where the legal age is 18. throughout much of asia, africa and europe, the legal drinking age ranges 16-18. in plenty of places though, the official drinking age is ignored, and even young children can buy alcohol if they have the money to pay for it. no matter how old you are, you should always be responsible with alcohol. teenagers in milan are now learning that their reckless (不顧后果的) drinking behavior may come at a high price. 31. the new law by the city of milan _. a. aims to keep italys sipping culture alive b. is welcomed by italian adult people c. has reduced the number of underage youths getting drunkd. forbids selling alcohol to people under 16 32. which of the following places has the lowest drinking age? a. mexico b. new york c. milan d. canada33. many us university presidents want lawmakers to consider changing the drinking age because they _.a. have received complaints from many young americans about the unfairness of the lawsb. agree that people old enough to vote and join the army should be allowed to drinkc. dont want to see us teenagers going to neighboring countries for a drinkd. believe that the law is pushing underage youths toward alcohol instead of stopping them34. we can infer from the passage that _. a. restaurants in the us dont sell alcohol to people under 21 for fear of a $700fine b. in many places shop owners dont mind selling alcohol to underage customers c. the author thinks that us teenagers should go to canada or mexico to drinkd. teens in milan have to pay a lot of money for their reckless drinking behavior bif you feel at present that you dont have enough friends in your life, one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the relationships you already have. starting and keeping friendship requires effort and commitment. many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we dont get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal with the friends, relatives and acquaintances we already have. making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry! are there any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome? are there people that you could count on to help you in time of difficulty? can you have close talks with them? do you have fun when you are together? are you happy to have them in your life? if you havent seen much of them lately, is it because you have become too busy? have you grown apart? was there an argument? if the main reason why you havent been getting together with the people you already know is that you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time. compare it with your real values and priorities in life. is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want? if you have become too busy for friends, why has this happened? are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? have you allowed your time to be over-committed because you never say “no” to anyone? do you insist on doing things yourself that could be left to others? if so, why? do you believe that everything depends on you? examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities. make sure that you schedule adequate time for the things that are truly most important to you. if you really want to keep friends in your life, make a space in your schedule, and a space in your heart for them.35. in this passage the author mainly discusses _. a. how to balance friendship and work b. how to spend our spare time c. whether we should keep friendship d. whether we should invite friends to dinner36. which of the following doesnt indicate a good relationship? a. you have someone to count on when you are in trouble. b. you have someone to have close talks with. c. you feel depressed with others in life. d. you have fun when you are with someone.37. the reason why you have become too busy for friends may be the following except that _.a. you spend too much time seeking material toys in your lifeb. you feel it difficult to keep friendshipc. you stick to doing everything all by yourselfd. you never refuse whatever other people ask you to do38. the best title for the passage may be _a. too busy for friendship? b. too busy with work?c. how to spend your time. d. how to make new friends.caccording to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as the leader of a social group. in the family, traditional cultural patterns put leadership on one or both of the parents. in other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually appear as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection. in larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment (招聘).although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have failed to produce the same evidence that there is any category of “natural leaders”. it seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, almost any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group.research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals. instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group. group members follow instrumental leaders to “get things done”. expressive leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well-beings of a social groups members. expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them.instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members. they give orders and may discipline group members who prevent achievement of the groups goals. expressive leaders develop a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group. they offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties and try to solve issues that threaten to divide the group. as the difference in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group goals, may enjoy a more distant respect.39. the passage mainly discusses _.a. the problems faced by leadersb. how leadership differs in small and large groupsc. how social groups determine who will lead themd. the role of leaders in social groups40. the passage mentions all of the following ways in which people can become leaders except _.a. recruitment b. formal election processc. specific leadership trainingd. traditional cultural patterns41. it can be inferred from the passage that _.a. a person who is an effective leader of a particular group may not be an effective leader in another groupb. few people succeed in sharing a leadership role with another personc. a person can best learn how to be an effective leader by studying research on leadershipd. most people desire to be leaders but can produce little evidence of their qualifications42. the author of the passage may agree that _.a. few people qualify as “natural leaders”b. there is no proof that “natural leaders” existc. “natural leaders” are easily accepted by the members of a groupd. “natural leaders” share a similar set of characteristicsdwriting articles about films for the front page was my first proper job. before then i had done bits of reviewing novels for other newspapers, films for a magazine and anything i was asked to do for the radio. that was how i met tom seaton, the first arts editor of the front page, who had also written for television. he hired me, but tom was not primarily a journalist, or he would certainly have been more careful in choosing his staff.at first, his idea was that a team of critics should take care of the art forms that didnt require specialized knowledge: books, tv, theatre, film and radio. there would be a weekly lunch at which we would make our choices from the artistic material that tom had decided we should cover, though there would also be guests to make the atmosphere sociable.it all felt like a bit of dream at that time: a new newspaper and i was one of the team. it seemed so unlikely that a paper could be introduced into a crowded market. it seemed just as likely that a millionaire wanted to help me personally, and was pretending to employ me. such was my lack of self-confidence.toms original scheme for a team of critics for the arts never took off. it was a good idea, but we didnt get together as planned and so everything was done by phone. it turned out, too, that the general public out there preferred to associate a reviewer with a single subject area, and so i chose film. without toms initial push, though, we would hardly have come up with the present arrangement, by which i write an extended weekly piece, usually on one film.the space i am given allows me to broaden my argument or forces me, in an uninteresting week, to make something out of nothing. but what is my role in the public arena (舞臺)? i assume that people choose what films to go to on the basis of the stars, the publicity or the director. so if a film review isnt really a consumer guide, what is it? i certainly dont feel i have a responsibility to be right about a movie. nor do i think there should be a certain number of great and bad films each year. all i have to do is put forward an argument. im not a judge, and nor would i want to be.43. what do we learn about tom seaton from the first paragraph?a. he encouraged the writer to become a writer.b. he met the writer when working for television.c. he had worked in various areas of the media.d. he prefers to employ people that he knows. 44. the weekly lunches were planned in order to _.a. help the writers get to know each otherb. distribute the work that had to be donec. provide an informal information sessiond. entertain important visitors from the arts45. what does the author mean when he says that toms plan never took off in paragraph 4?a. toms plan was unpopular.b. toms plan wasted too much time.c. toms plan wasnt planned properly.d. toms plan wasnt put into practice.46. which of the following best describes what the writer says about his work?a. he can freely express his opinion.b. he prefers to write about films he likes.c. his success varies from year to year.d. he writes according to accepted rules.e movies in the theater get their recognition at awards ceremonies, such as the oscars. but how about movies for phones? they are getting their turn at mofilm the first mobile film festival. the first mofilm competition received 250 entries from more than 100 countries. entries were restricted to films that were five minutes or less in length ideal for viewing and sharing on mobile phones. an independent jury then selected a shortlist of five film-makers. the winner was chosen from the shortlist by an audience voting using their phones.new platforms the awards highlight the increasing impact that mobile phones are making in the entertainment industry. many grassroots filmmakers start out with short films. they are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screen their work. therefore, mobile phones are increasingly being seen as a new platform for these short works. it is a good place for anyone who wants to express themselves and find a way to have that expression be seen by a wide audience. just think about
