市高考英语阅读理解、完形填空及阅读类训练18答案及解析Words：327难度系数：建议用时：9分钟When one thinks of the expansion of the American West，the event most likely to come to mind is the California Gold Rush of 1849.However，there remained wide land between the Pacific Coast and，say，St.Louis，Missouri.Why mentions.St.Louis? You might be asking.Because the young United States started exploring the vast land mass to the west from that very point and almost fifty years before those gold nuggets started hitting the pan in California.In 1803 President Thomas Jefferson sent a secret message to Congress calling for an expedition into the area west of the Mississippi River.He felt that a military man with some men could successfully chart the route.At that time France owned the territory and such an expedition would be considered invading.Then in July of the same year，Napoleon of France，in a surprise move，offered Louisiana to the United States for $15,000，000.America accepted and the United States grew by about one million square miles，from the Mississippi to the Rockies and from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada.Shortly before this news，Jefferson had handed his personal secretary，Meriweather Lewis his instructions for the expedition of the Missouri River.On May 14,1804，the Lewis and Clark Expedition started out from St.Louis in search of the Pacific Ocean.Two and a half years and 8,000 miles later the explorers returned to St.Louis and theres a thunderous welcome from a grateful nation.Although the route never became widely used，it provided the impetus for the great western exploration movement.The search for America began.By 1848，when Mexico ceded its claim to all US territories to the north of its present­day border，the United States had acquired the land westward from the Rockies to the Pacific Coast，north to the 49th parallel and south to the Rio Grande.This lawful possession convinced thousands of settlers to move westward in search of land.【解题导语】本文讲述了美国领土扩张过程中的几个重大事件。9Why was Jeffersons message to Congress secret?ACalifornia is rich in gold nuggets.BThere may be trouble with France.CIts about a military expedition.DThe Westward Expansion began.解析：选B。细节理解题。文中第二段谈到the Mississippi River以西的领地当时由法国人控制，保密是为了防止冲突。10Why were the explorers given a warm welcome in St.Louis?AThey reached the Mississippi River.BThe newly charted road was of wide use.CThey won one victory after another.DThey succeeded in charting the route.解析：选D。细节理解题。开拓者受到热烈的欢送是因为他们成功地开拓出一条通往西部的路。11Whats the probable meaning of the underlined word “ceded in the last paragraph?Afought for. Bgave up.Cstood for. Dkept up.解析：选B。词义猜想题。从最后一段的有关信息可以推知，Mexico只有宣称放弃领地之后，美国才有对Mexico先前所控制土地的所有权。12Which of the following is the right order of the historical events?the California Gold Rushthe beginning of the search for Americainstructions for the expedition of the Missouri RiverAmericas possession of the land north of the Rio Grandethe surprise move of France to offer Louisiana to the USA BC D解析：选B。排序题。做该题可以根据时间来判断。从短文第二、三、四段得知事件发生在1803年，但Jefferson指示开拓the Missouri River在前；从第五段中得知事件发生在1806年左右；从最后一段得知事件发生在1848年；而从第一段了解到事件发生在1849年。*结束完形填空、解题技巧(1)完形填空是同学们失分率较高的一个题型，有的同学甚至不敢做完形填空。其实，此题虽难，却有章可循，只要我们掌握相应技巧，再辅以适当的训练，是完全可以攻克这个难题的。 技巧点拨完形填空的解题步骤(1)通读全文，理解大意：做题前，先跳过空格，快速浏览全文，着重感知文章大意。(2)上下联系，确定答案：确定答案时，必须瞻前顾后。利用生活常识、固定搭配、行文逻辑、具体语境帮助自己找到最正确答案。同时，学会避难就易，先填好简单的答案，再攻克难题，尽可能多拿分。(3)复读全文，验证答案：在选好所有答案后，必须重读全文，验证所选答案是否符合逻辑、是否符合语境；同时检查有无遗漏之题。阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36-55各题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D中选出最正确选项。I have never learned as much math in my life as I did last year.

Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology. Point 1 The telephone creates need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?Point 2  The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life, says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车)to her rescue. Point 3  The mobile phone removes our secret. It allows Manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went. Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near but we didn't meet for the first two weeks! Point 5  The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously(同时地) on chat lines(at least my daughter does. I wouldn't know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts(if you know any) while they're space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth. 1.

People communicate more since telephone has been created. D. People communicate more because of more traffic. 2. Which points do you think best support the idea that phones improve people's life?A. Point 3 and point 4B. Point 1 and point 5C. Point 1 and point 3D. Point 2 and point 53. It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through _.A. the TV screenB. a fax machineC. the phone line hooked up to the computerD. a microphone【答案与解析】本文阐述了 不仅仅改变了我们的生活，其好处不胜枚举。1. C。语义理解题。第2段最后一句话If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about? 已经作了最好的解释。2. D。判断题。因为Point 1讲的是The telephone creates need to communicate，Point 3讲的是The mobile removes our secret, Point 4讲的是The telephone separates us，只有Point 2和Point 5是讲phones improve people's life。3. C。细节题。根据Point 5中的 Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously on chat lines可知答案为C。*结束 Once a group of 17-year-old schoolboys decided to break the world basketball marathon record(马拉松记录). They wanted to play for ninety hours and that is to add six hours to the record. Each team had nine players, with five at a time. The boys decided each person would play 21. 5 hours and then rest for 2 hours. Then they started at 6 oclock in the evening. The first night was very hard for the players. When it was their turn to rest, they were too excited(兴奋的) to fall asleep at once. After sleeping for a short time, they had to play again. On the second night, they fell asleep as soon as they stopped. Some of them had trouble with their feet and hands, but the only serious problem was a psychological(心理上的) one. Each boy was thinking：why am I doing this？How can I play any longer？After the third night, the players knew they could finish the ninety hours. The basketball on the fourth night was very slow. But in the final hours, the players g
