扬州市2014高考英语阅读理解一轮暑假练习题（7）及答案解析 (2012重庆调研) Early one morning the subinspector at a station at the other end of the town rang me. An elephant was damaging the town. Would I please come and do something about it? I did not know what I could do, but I got onto a horse and started out. I took my gun, maybe too small to kill an elephant, but I thought the noise might scare him. Various local people stopped me on the way and told me about the elephants doings. It was not, of course, a wild elephant, but a tame one. It had been chained up but last night it had broken its chain and escaped. Its owner, had set out to run after it, but had taken the wrong direction. He was now twelve hours journey away, and in the morning the elephant had suddenly appeared in the town. It had already destroyed somebodys bamboo hut (棚屋), killed a cow and turned over fruitstalls. I came round the hut and saw a mans dead body sprawling in the mud. He was an Indian, and he could not have been dead many minutes. The people said that the elephant caught him with its trunk, put its foot on his back and grounded him into the earth. This was the rainy season and he was lying on his stomach in the soft mud, the_peacebreaker standing beside, looking innocent. As I lifted my gun, I hesitated a few seconds. Then I fired. That was a shot that did for him. You could see the pain of it knock the last strength from his legs. But in falling he seemed for a moment to rise, his trunk reaching skyward like a tree. He trumpeted, for the first and only time. And then down he came, with a crash that shook the ground.1. Which of the following statements about the author is TRUE? A. He was an Indian. B. He knew elephants well. C. He was not a local villager. D. He was the owner of the elephant.2. The elephant made so much trouble because _. A. its owner treated him cruelly B. it got out of control C. it hated the village people D. it was a wild elephant3. The underlined words “the peacebreaker” in Paragraph 4 refer to _. A. the elephant B. the dead man C. the author D. the subinspector4. It can be inferred that the author felt _ when he shot the elephant. A. excited B. sad C. frightened D. happy答案与解析：1C正误判断题。A项错是因为被大象踩死的那个人是印度人；B项错是因为作者根本不了解大象；D项错在作者根本不是大象的主人。从第一段和第二段知，作者是奉命带上枪去制止那头捣乱的大象的，应该是警察，故C项正确，即他不是村民。2B推理判断题。从第三段知那头驯养的大象跑了出来，造成了不少麻烦。文章中没有提到A、C项，故只是那头大象失去了控制。3A指代题。从画线词the peacebreaker前后可知，它就是那头捣乱的大象。4B推理判断题。从最后一段描述的作者开枪前的犹豫及对大象死前挣扎的描述可知作者是很悲伤的。*结束维C 阅读理解(每题2分，满分8分) 选材相似度：设题相似度：难度系数：Modern science suggests that a healthy lifestyle matters much to how long you can live and how well you live.Here are some tips for you to form a healthy lifestyle.Keep a scientific diet.Keep in mind that sugar can be removed from our diet completely.Over intake of sugar is one of the main reasons for getting fat.Over intake of protein or fat and low intake of fiber can also lead to getting fat.Only a few grams of protein do we need every day to keep our body in order.Like rain to crops，not the more the better.Be always in a good mood.There is a relationship between the mood and health.A good mood keeps you in high spirits.Thanks to the Internet，we can enjoy and learn much without going out.Take a look at some online shops and pick up some bargains，enjoy music and movies and chat with good friends.Just keep happy.Enough sleep.Two studies show the reasons why teens and adults dont have enough sleep.With teens，a major reason is mobile phone use; with adults，its work.Meanwhile，a third study of young children shows that lack of sleep in early life may lead to serious problems in future.Everyone needs at least 8hour sleep to recover from tiredness and the hurt caused by hard work in the daytime.Proper exercise.Do exercise to keep away from fatness.Because of the quick pace of the modern life，you dont have time to do exercise every day，but at least three times a week and 45 minutes each time.Notes：remove vt.移除protein n蛋白质长短句分析：Modern science suggests that a healthy lifestyle matters much to how long you can live and how well you live.句法点睛：本句为主从复合句。Modern science suggests为主句，a healthy lifestyle matters much为宾语从句，作suggests的宾语，how long you can live and how well you live为并列的宾语从句，作介词to的宾语。句意：现代科学表明，健康的生活方式对于你的寿命和生活质量有着重大的影响。【语篇解读】 健康的生活方式对人们越来越重要，本文就如何养成健康的生活方式提供了几点建议。1The author wrote this passage to _.Atell the readers how to take proper exercise every dayBprovide some advice on how to form a healthy lifestyleCask people to care about their health rather than their workDmake some surveys among those who have health problems答案B推理判断题。阅读全文，特别是根据第一段“Here are some tips for you to form a healthy lifestyle.”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是向人们提供一些健康生活的建议。2Which
