2021高考英语【南宁市】（三月）阅读类课外自练（6）及答案

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Napoleon, as a character inTolstoy’s War and Peace, is more than once described as having“fat little hands.” Nor does he “sit well or firmly on the horse.” He is said to be“undersized, “ with “short legs” and a“round stomach”. The issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoy’s description—it seems not that far off from historical accounts—but his choice of facts:　other things that could be said of the man are not said. We are meant to understand the difference of a warring commander in the body of a fat little Frenchman. Tolstoy’s Napoleon could be any man wandering in the streets and putting a little of powdered tobacco up his nose—and that is the point.
It is a way the novelist uses to show the moral nature of a character. And it turns out that, as Tolstoy has it, Napoleon is a crazy man. In a scene in Book Three of War and Peace, the wars having reached the critical year of 1812, Napoleon receives a representative from the Tsar(沙皇), who has come with peace terms. Napoleon is very angry:　doesn’t he have more army? He, not the Tsar, is the one to make the terms. He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped. “That is what you will have gained by engaging me in the war! “ he shouts. And then, Tolstoy writes, Napoleon“walked silently several times up and down the room, his fat shoulders moving quickly.”
Still later, after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds, Napoleon invites the shaken Russian to dinner. “He raised his hand to the Russian’s. . . face, “ Tolstoy writes, and“taking him by the ear pulled it gently. . .” To have one’s ear pulled by the Emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of favor at the French court. “Well, well, why don’t you say anything?” said he, as if it was ridiculous in his presence to respect any one but himself, Napoleon.
Tolstoy did his research, but the composition is his own. 　
1. Tolstoy’s description of Napoleon in War and Peace is　　　.　
A. far from the historical facts B. based on the Russian history
C. based on his selection of facts D. not related to historical details
2. Napoleon was angry when receiving the Russian representative because　　　.　
A. he thought he should be the one to make the peace terms
B. the Tsar’s peace terms were hard to accept
C. the Russians stopped his military movement
D. he didn’t have any more army to fight with
3. What did Napoleon expect the Russian representative to do?
A. To walk out of the room in anger. B. To show agreement with him.
C. To say something about the Tsar. D. To express his admiration.
4. Tolstoy intended to present Napoleon as a man who is　　　.　
A. ill-mannered in dealing with foreign guests
B. fond of showing off his iron will
C. determined in destroying all of Europe
D. crazy for power and respect
5. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?
A. A writer doesn’t have to be faithful to his findings.
B. A writer may write about a hero in his own way.
C. A writer may not be responsible for what he writes.
D. A writer has hardly any freedom to show his feelings.

【要点综述】 阅读原来是一个愉悦身心的活动，但是劳碌的工作使人们远离了阅读所带来的乐趣。本文就如何开展有效的快速阅读进行了简洁的说明。
1．D　本句意思是“假如想谋得一份差事”。apply需加for，意思是“申请”；do做； offer供应。此三项均不符合题意，只有get(获得)适合。
2．A　本句意为“快速阅读与理解的力气，是关系到成败的关键所在”。只有quickly与原意吻合。easily简洁地；roughly 粗略地； decidedly坚决地。
3．C　由下文“Most of us develop poor reading…”可知此处选poor。其他选项不妥。
4．B　此处的意思是“大多数人早期养成不良的读书习惯”。因此选habit“习惯”。training 训练，培训；situation形势；custom风俗习惯。
5．A　此处说的是“主要的困难在于语言的自身要素，即单词”。combine联合；touch接触；involve包括。这三项的词义与原文不符。而lie与in构成搭配，意为“在于”。
6．C　这里的意思是“假如单个地看这些词，它们并没有什么意义”。some一些，少量的；a lot of很多；dull单调的。此三项不合题意。只有little(很少)是否定词，合乎规律。
7．D　此句指“作者对未受过阅读训练的人的不良习惯感到圆满”。fortunately幸运地；actually事实上；logically合乎规律地。unfortunately(不幸地)合乎句意。
8．B　此处意思为“在阅读时经常重读(反复读)”。因此，选reread“重读”。reuse再使用；rewrite改写；recite背诵。
9．C　scale down按比例削减；cut down削减。此两项不合题意。 measures不能与down搭配。只有slow down“放慢”能否与后面的speed搭配。
10．A　依据上文可知，训练快速阅读所使用的工具必定与提高阅读速度有关，因此选accelerator (快读器)。actor演员；amplifier放大器；observer观看者。
11．D　前面的faster打算了此处应当选than，构成比较级。
12．C　此句意为“快速阅读器迫使你加快阅读速度，使你再也不能逐字阅读，回顾前文内容或者默读。”enable相当于make possible；lead引导；indicate指出，表明。都不合题意。只有make (使得)最合适。
13．A　与前半句中的not only相呼应，构成句式not only…but…“不仅……而且……”，只能选but，而nor、or或for均不能与前面的not only搭配。
14．B　take与后面的for instance构成短语，意为“以……为例”，其他三项不能与for instance构成搭配。
15．D　此处意为“在较短时间内，读完众多的材料”。refer to参考；go over复习；set about着手做。此三项均不合题意；只有get through “完成”最恰当。
