武邑中学2014-2015高三一轮复习单元检测题四第二部分：阅读理解(共20小题：每小题2分，满分40分)APablo Ruiz Picasso was the favourite child of his family. He was the only boy among a great many girl cousins. That was enough to make him important, but the father loved him especially, because he knew his son was going to be an artist. Pablo knew the word for pencil even before he could see Mamma and Papa. When he was small, he spent hours by himself making delightful little drawings of animals and people. If his mother sent him out to play in the square, he went on drawing in the dust under the trees. Don Jose Ruiz, Pablos father, was director of the museum in southern Spain. He earned only a small salary, but there was not much work to do and he was able to practice his hobby, which was painting pigeons. Don loved pigeons very much. He painted them dead or alive in ones and twos and in dozens. Sometimes he painted them on paper, cut them out and stuck them onto canvas (画布); sometimes he stuck real feathers onto his pictures. He knew a great deal about the technique of painting and he taught it all to Pablo.Life in Malaga was very pleasant. In the hot sunshine father and son would walk down to the beach to look at the boats on the shore or wander around the open markets. They made a strange pair. Don was tall and thin, with red hair and beard, sad gray eyes and a fine set of whiskers (腮须). He was so shy and correct that he was nicknamed “the Englishman”. Pablo was quite the opposite. He had his mothers small, strong build (体格); he had straight black hair, and bright black eyes that noticed everything that was going on around him.1.

Fathers Influence (影响) on His Son B How many teeth have you had filled in the past two years? If you follow the advice of Dr. Fustic, you may be able to reduce the number of your visits to a dentist. Dr. Fustic made a two-year survey to find out how to prevent or reduce dental decay(龋齿),946 students took part in the experiment.523 students cleaned their teeth within ten minutes eating. When possible, they used the toothbrush. When it was possible, they washed their mouths thoroughly with water. The remaining 423 students nearly cleaned their teeth when they went to bed and when they got up in the morning. All of the students had their teeth X-rayed at the end of the first and second years. At the end of the first year, the night and morning group had three times as many decayed teeth as the cleaned after each meal group. At the end of the second year, the latter group had 63% fewer decayed teeth than the former group. Dr.Fustic has cleaned his teeth after every meal for 13 years, and has not had a single decayed tooth. He pointed out that sugar is a major agent(因素) in dental decay, particularly the sugar in sweets, cakes and soft drinks. Ideally you should keep a toothbrush in your pocket and use it immediately after you have finished eating. When this is impractical, you can at least make sure that you have a drink of water and let the water through your teeth to force out any particles of food. Seven out of ten people lose at least half their teeth by the time they are fifty. Many have a complete set of false teeth by that time. In any case, neither toothache nor the visit to the dentist is very pleasant. So it is worthwhile making an effort to keep your own teeth as long as possible. The main preventive (预防的) agent is simply water.5. According to the passage, what type of food or drink is most likely to cause dental decay?A. Coca Cola. B. Milk.C. Meat. D. Fried chicken.6. What does the passage tell us about the condition of Dr. Fustics teeth?A. He has had thirteen decayed teeth.B. He doesnt have a single decayed tooth. C.
