河南專升本英語真題(閱讀理解)
Passage 2
For years and years people have been saying that the railways are dead. “We can do without railways,” people say, as if motorcars and planes made the railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, and that they’re dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days when oil is expensive, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they’re cheaper than planes.
Railways have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, it takes you from the heart of a city into the heart of another. But a railway doesn’t leave you as a plane does, miles and miles away from the city center. It doesn’t hold you up as a motorcar does, in endless traffic jams. And a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do.
Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive. Modern railway lines give you a smooth, untroubled journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep in comfort, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning. We have entered the age of superfast trains, traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spend so much on motorways we can’t use because we don’t have enough money to buy oil and planes we can’t fly for the same reason.
1.Some people think the railways are dead for many reasons except that ______. A. trains are dying B. oil is expensive today C. trains are slow D. railways lose money
2.The author’s idea about railways seems to be that ______. A. we can do without railways B. trains have much in common with motorcars and planes C. motorcars and planes are not as good as trains D. trains are as good as motorcars and planes
3.According to the author, which of the following is NOT true? A. It is cheaper to travel by train than by plane. B. The railway station is usually in the center of a city. C. When you get off the plane you will find yourself right in the city center. D. No motorcar or plane can carry as many goods as a train does in a cheap way.
4.According to the author, the disadvantage of motorcars and planes is that ______. A. they cannot travel fast enough B. too much money will be spent on oil C. they cannot give a smooth, untroubled journey D. the travelers cannot enjoy the scene in their journey
5.What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The railways are dead now. B. Motorcars and planes have made the railways unnecessary. C. We’ve entered the age of superfast trains. D. The advantages of the railways enable them to be alive even nowadays.
答案解析
1.【答案】B。
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。題干:有些人認(rèn)為鐵路過時(shí)有很多原因,除了______。該題關(guān)鍵詞是 railways, dead 和 reasons。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞定位至第一段第三句 We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, and that they’re dying.(我們都不斷 聽到火車慢、賠錢,正在沒落)可知,我們總是聽到有人說火車速度慢,鐵路賠錢并且 正在沒落,所以 A 項(xiàng)“火車正在沒落”、C 項(xiàng)“火車很慢”、D 項(xiàng)“鐵路虧損”三項(xiàng) 都是有些人認(rèn)為鐵路過時(shí)的原因。根據(jù)第一段倒數(shù)第二句 In these days when oil is expensive, the railways have become highly competitive...(在燃油昂貴的日子里,鐵路變 得非常有競爭力)可知,現(xiàn)在的高油價(jià)使鐵路相比汽車和飛機(jī)非常具有競爭力,所以目 前油價(jià)高并不是鐵路過時(shí)的原因,B 項(xiàng)“如今石油很貴”符合題意,故選 B。
2.【答案】C。
解析:推斷題。題干:作者認(rèn)為鐵路似乎是______。 根據(jù)題文同序原則定位至第一段后半部分和第二段。由第一段倒數(shù)第二句 In these days when oil is expensive, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes.(在石油價(jià)格昂貴的今天,鐵路已經(jīng)成為汽車和飛機(jī)的競爭對(duì)手)和第二段最后 三句 But a railway doesn’t leave you as a plane does, miles and miles away from the city center. It doesn’t hold you up as a motorcar does, in endless traffic jams. And a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do.(但是鐵路并不像飛機(jī)那樣離市 中心很遠(yuǎn)。在無休止的交通堵塞中,它不會(huì)像汽車那樣攔住你。一列火車可以運(yùn)載任何 飛機(jī)或汽車都無法運(yùn)載的貨物)可知,作者認(rèn)為由于油價(jià)高,鐵路對(duì)飛機(jī)和汽車非常具 有競爭力,并且,鐵路不像飛機(jī)那樣把人們丟在遠(yuǎn)離市中心的地方,也不像汽車那樣讓 人們陷入無休止的交通堵塞之中,火車還可以運(yùn)載飛機(jī)或者汽車無法運(yùn)載的物品。由此 可推知,作者認(rèn)為汽車和飛機(jī)沒有鐵路好,所以 C 項(xiàng)“汽車和飛機(jī)不如火車好”正確, D 項(xiàng)“火車和汽車、飛機(jī)一樣好”不正確。根據(jù)第一段第二句“We can do without railways,” people say, as if motorcars and planes made the railways unnecessary.(“我們可以沒有鐵路,”人們說,好像汽車和飛 機(jī)使鐵路變得不必要)可知,人們認(rèn)為他們可以沒有鐵路,但這并不是作者的觀點(diǎn),所 以 A 項(xiàng)“我們可以沒有鐵路”不正確;B 項(xiàng)“火車與汽車和飛機(jī)有許多共同之處”與 第二段第一句 Railways have much in common with planes(. 鐵路與飛機(jī)有許多共同之處) 不符,文中只是提到鐵路與飛機(jī)有共同之處,并未提及和汽車也有共同之處。綜上分析,故選 C。
3.【答案】C。
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。題干:根據(jù)作者所述,下列哪項(xiàng)是不正確的?該題需要根據(jù)選項(xiàng)關(guān)鍵詞對(duì)應(yīng)到原文中尋找答案。根據(jù)第二段第四句 But a railway doesn’t leave you as a plane does, miles and miles away from the city center(. 但是鐵路不像 飛機(jī)那樣離市中心很遠(yuǎn))可知,下飛機(jī)之后你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己遠(yuǎn)離市中心,所以 C 項(xiàng)“當(dāng) 你下飛機(jī)時(shí),你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己就在市中心”不正確,同時(shí)可知 B 項(xiàng)“火車站通常在城市 的中心”的表述正確。由首段最后一句 If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they’re cheaper than planes.(如果你想把人或貨物從一個(gè)地方運(yùn)送到另一個(gè)地方,它們比飛機(jī) 便宜)可知,A 項(xiàng)“坐火車比坐飛機(jī)便宜”的表述正確,需排除;由第三段最后一句 Soon we will be wondering why we spend so much on motorways we can’t use because we don’t have enough money to buy oil and planes we can’t fly for the same reason.(很快人們 就會(huì)思考為什么要花這么多錢在因?yàn)闆]錢買油而負(fù)擔(dān)不起的汽車和飛機(jī)上)可知,D 項(xiàng) “沒有汽車或飛機(jī)能以廉價(jià)的方式運(yùn)載像火車那樣多的貨物”的表述正確,需排除。題 干要求選出不正確的選項(xiàng),故選 C。
4.【答案】B。
解析:細(xì)節(jié)題。題干:根據(jù)作者所述,汽車和飛機(jī)的缺點(diǎn)是______。根 據(jù) 第 三 段 最 后 一 句 Soon we will be wondering why we spend so much on motorways we can’t use because we don’t have enough money to buy oil and planes we can’t fly for the same reason.(很快我們就會(huì)疑惑,為什么我們要花這么多錢在我們不能使用 的高速公路上,因?yàn)槲覀儧]有足夠的錢購買石油,出于同樣的原因,我們也花費(fèi)了太多 的錢在我們不能飛行的飛機(jī)上)可知,很快人們就會(huì)思考為什么要花這么多錢在因?yàn)闆] 錢買油而負(fù)擔(dān)不起的汽車和飛機(jī)上。由此可知,汽車和飛機(jī)有相同的缺點(diǎn)——燃油會(huì)花 費(fèi)太多的錢,B 項(xiàng)“太多的前花在燃油上”符合文意。A 項(xiàng)“他們跑得不夠快”,C 項(xiàng)“他們不能提供一個(gè)順利的、無憂無慮的旅程”, D 項(xiàng)“旅行者不能在旅途中欣賞風(fēng)景”均與題意不符,故選 B。
5.【答案】D。
解析:主旨題。題干:這篇文章的主要觀點(diǎn)是什么?通讀全文可知,第一段指出人們認(rèn)為鐵路過時(shí)了,然而作者認(rèn)為事實(shí)并非如此;接 下來通過舉例說明了與汽車和飛機(jī)相比,鐵路仍然具有競爭力,并且鐵路的優(yōu)勢讓其即 使在今天也充滿活力,D 項(xiàng)“鐵路的優(yōu)勢使它們即使在今天仍然存在”符合主旨大意。A 項(xiàng)“鐵路已經(jīng)消失”,B 項(xiàng)“汽車和飛機(jī)使鐵路變得沒有必要了”,C 項(xiàng)“我們 已經(jīng)進(jìn)入了超高速列車時(shí)代”均與題意無關(guān)。故選 D。
