阅读理解专题一主旨大意题(A)阅读下列短文或短文片段,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳答案或可以填入空白处的最佳答案:ANobody likes an old poop(傻子). Developing a sense of humor is part of becoming a mature, emotionally healthy individual. Laughter is good for the soul, builds friendships and relieves stress. It serves as the glue for social situations and as an ice-breaker for sadness and boredom. If you've ever been told to "lighten up" or "chill out", you should save the blue attitude for serious situations and develop your sense of humor.Forgive the accidental. A sudden fall is humorous not because we like to see people fall, but because it surprises. From a spilled (溢出)water glass in a meeting to Aunt Rae's teeth coming off in the Thanksgiving turkey, the embarrassment of accidents can be relieved by humor and a helping hand. After making sure that nobody's hurt, forgive accidents with a chuckle (咯咯笑) rather than a scolding.Look for the unexpected. The kid who used to look at you with his eyes closed during a test had the idea. Parents who serve green eggs and ham to their children on graduation day get the idea. Unexpected actions lighten an atmosphere and relax people.Learn to laugh with your kids. Most of what children say and do is funny. Help them learn that accidents are sometimes funny and sometimes occasions for joining in and helping another human being. By sharing laughs and attempting to explain humor, you develop your sense of humor, as well as help kids develop their own sense of humor.1. What is the best title for the passage?A. How to Develop a Sense of HumorB. Ways to Become a Healthy IndividualC. The Function of HumorD. Proper Attitudes Towards HumorBPeople believe that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skills of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, you're wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms. Here, people are learning on special climbing walls. The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet.How do people climb the wall? To climb, you need special shoes and a harness (保护带) around your chest to hold you. There are ropes tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you don't fall. A beginner's wall is usually about 15 feet high,and you climb straight up. Thereare small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it's easy to see the next piece of metal. Sometimes,it's not. The most difficult part is to control your fear. It's normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it's difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, the harness and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.Climbing attracts people because it's good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb, both your mind and your body can become stronger.2. Why does the author write this passage?A. To tell people where to find gyms.B. To prove the basic need for climbing.C. To introduce the sport of wall climbing.D. To encourage people to climb mountains.CIt is good to get in touch with your inner child from time to time, and obviously some people are willing to pay big money for the chance to do so in a proper environment. A Brooklyn-based adult preschool is charging customers between $333 and $999 for the chance to act like a kid again.At Preschool Mastermind in New York adults get to participate in show-and-tell, arts-and-crafts such as finger paint, games like musical chairs and even take naps. The month-long course also has class picture day where the adults are expected to have a field trip and a parent day.30-year-old Michelle Joni Lapidos, the brain behind the adult preschool, studied childhood education and has always wanted to be a preschool teacher. She's always on the lookout for new ways to get people in touch with the freedom of childhood. A friend encouraged her to start the mastermind course instead.According to Candice, her blogger friend, Preschool Mastermind gives adults a chance to relearn and master the things that they failed to understand as children. “I realized all the significances of what we learn in preschool,”said founder Michelle Joni. “People come here and get in touch with their inner child. It's magical. We are bringing ourselves back to another place, another time with ourselves when we are more believing in ourselves,more confident and ready to take on the world.”3. What is mainly discussed about Preschool Mastermind in Paragraph 2?A. Its customers.B. Its activities.C. Its environment.D. Its schedule.DIn the latest romance-drama, Descendants of the Sun (《太阳的后裔》), a handsome soldier Yoo Shijin(柳时镇) (Song Joongki)(宋仲基) meets the pretty doctor Kang Moyeon(姜暮烟) (Song Hyekyo) (宋慧乔) in a hospital,and he doesn't hesitate to hit on her.The dialogue, which takes place early in the first episode, immediately indicates that this is no ordinary South Korean drama. There's no family feud, or secret crush, or love tangles, or guessesand misunderstandings. The 16-episode show is set in the fictional war-torn country of Uruk (乌鲁克). Song Joongki is the leader of a special warfare command unit, while Song Hyekyo plays a doctor who works for a humanitarian medical organization. Both are sent in the midst of disaster and disease as part of their work with UN peacekeeping troops. Both know and show clearly what they want and what they hate.But what stands out the most are Song's skills as a pick-up artist.Boldness and creativity are the key weapons in his arsenal. When Kang invites Yoo to drink wine with her, Yoo, who is not allowed to drink alcohol as a soldier, says, “There is a way” before kissing her. Forget about th e “eighth episode rule”. This kiss happens in the fourth.Humor also does the trick. On their first date in a cinema, Yoo says, “This is the most exciting moment of my life. The moment I am with a beautiful woman before the theater lights go out.” When Kang tries to give Yoo a hard time, Yoo jokes, “I mistook you for a beautiful woman because it's dark.”And actor Song Joongki, who just came back from two years of military service last May, makes sure he delivers his pick-up lines just right.“In Deep Rooted Tree (《树大根深》) and The Innocent Man (《善良的男人》), he [Song Joongki] showed he had the steel to play fearless and heartless men —that he could be taken seriously as an actor, despite his pretty face. In Descendants, he hits the emotional core of every scene, whether he has to be bold and amorous, guarded and mysterious, or sad,”said critic Foong Woei Wan in The Straits Times.4. What is the article mainly about?A. Introduce a drama called the Descendants of the Sun.B. Song Joongki could be taken seriously as an actor, despite his pretty face.C. The Descendants of the Sun opens a new pattern to Korean drama.D. The reason why the Descendants of the Sun gains success.EDid you know that Albert Einstein could not speak until he was four years old, and did not read until he was seven? His parents and teachers worried about his mental ability.Beethoven's music teacher said about him, "As a composer (作曲家) he is hopeless." What if this young boy believed it?When Thomas Edison was a young boy, his teachers said he was so stupid that he could never learn anything. He once said, “I remember I used to never be able to get along at school. I was always at the foot of my class... My father thought I was stupid, and I almost decided that I was a stupid person.” What if young Thomas believed what they said about him?When the sculptor(雕刻家)Auguste Rodin was young, he had difficulty learning to read and write. Today,we may say he had a learning disability. His father said of him, “I have an idiot (白痴) for a son.”His uncle agreed. “He's uneducable,”he said. What if Rodin had doubted his ability?Walt Disney was once fired by a newspaper editor because he was thought to have no “good ideas”. Enrico Caruso was told by one music teacher, “You can't sing. You have no voice at all. ” And an editor told Louisa May Alcott that she was unable to write anything that would have popular appeal.What if these people had listened and become discouraged? Where would our world be without the music of Beethoven, the art of Rodin or the ideas of Albert Einstein and Walt Disney? As Oscar Levant once said, “It's not what you are but what you don't become that hurts.”You have great potential. When you believe in all you can be, rather than all you cannot become, you will find your place on earth.5. What is the best title for the passage?A. Working Hard for SuccessB. Having DreamsC. Believing in YourselfD. Self-challengingFWhy do Americans struggle with watching their weight,while the French,who consume rich food,continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.According to Dr. Joseph Mercola,a health expert,the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table,while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition,he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French,instead,tend to shop daily,walking to small shops and farmers' markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits,vegetables,and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don't Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.In spite of all these differences,evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity-or extreme overweight-among adults is only 6%. However,as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions,the obesity rate among French children has reached 17%-and is growing.6. This text is mainly about the relationship between ________.A. Americans and the FrenchB. life style and obesityC. children and adultsD. fast food and overweight1. A 解析:标题选择题。
