六、阅读理解专项练习(1): 1.细节题专讲专练 A

I was 14 when Mr. Ingram knocked on our farmhouse door in Sacred Heart,Okla. The old farmer lived about a mile down the road and needed help cutting grass. It was the first time I was actually paid for work- about 12 cents an hour,not bad when you consider it was 1939,a time when there was little business activity.

Mr. Ingram liked the job I did and ended up hiring me to dig potatoes. I even helped when a baby cow was being born.

One day he found an old truck that was stuck in the soft,sandy soil of the melon(瓜)field. It was full of melons that someone had tried to steal before their truck got stuck.

Mr. Ingram explained that the truck's owner would be returning soon,and he wanted me to watch and lean. It wasn't long before a man from a nearby village,who had a terrible reputation(名声)for fighting and stealing,showed up with his two full-grown sons. They looked very angry.

Calmly Mr. Ingram said,“Well,I see you want to buy some watermelons.” There was a long silence before the man answered,“Yeah,I guess so. What are you getting for them?” “Twenty-five cents each.” “Well. I guess that would be fair enough if you help me get my truck out of here.” It turned out to be our biggest sale of the summer,and an unpleasant,perhaps unfortunate,incident had been prevented. After they left,Mr. Ingram smiled and said to me,“Son,if you don't forgive(原谅)your enemies, you're going to run out of friends.” Mr. Ingram died a few years later,but I have never forgotten him or what he taught me on my first job.

1.The truck owners were angry because .

A. they failed to get the melons away without being seen B. they forgot to have their truck checked before they started C. they had got too many melons on the truck D. they knew they had a bad reputation 答案: A

You get all sorts of demands,and the mark of a good hotel is to supply whatever is asked for without sounding surprised. If a guest asks for rubber glover(手套),you don't ask why. You say,“No problem. What color do you want?

There have been some demands which,much as I would have liked to fill,I couldn't. A Japanese businessman,for example,thought the manager of a hotel was like the captain of a ship so he asked me to marry him and the woman he loved. There was one time,however,we did help out. A young man thought that if he asked his girlfriend to marry him at the Ritz she would say yes. He asked us to put the ring in a cake,and she accepted. Top hotels are used more and more to impress. They are used for doing business. If you've got something to sell,take your clients(客户)to the best hotel where the surroundings are quite helpful. A friend of mine working at Savoy Hotel tells the story about a man who gave him 5 pounds to say “ good morning,Mr. Smith” when he walked through the door with two other men. This he did ,and could hear Mr. Smith saying,“I do wish they would leave me alone at this place.” According to Julian Payne,the most powerful people in any hotel are the porters,who carry bags for hotel guests. “Porters can do almost anything. They can get you tables at the best restaurants tickets for a popular concert. Don't ask me how they do it or what their deal is because I don't know. Most of them have been there for years. They know more about the history of the hotel and the guests than anyone else. They are invaluable. A head porter will come in even on his day off so he can say hello to someone he remembers visiting the hotel years ago.”

2.When guests ask for something strange,the manager of a good hotel would think_________. A. how he can meet their needs B. why they have such demands C. what problems the hotel has D. who is the best person to go to 答案:A

With a good shopping position and the right amount(数量)of money , any educated person ought to be able to make a living out of a bookshop. It is not a difficult trade to learn and the large chain-stores can never force the small bookseller out of existence as they have done to the corner shop. But the hours of work are very long---I was only doing a part-time job, but my boss put in a seventy-hour week, besides regular journeys out of shopping hours to buy books.

The real reason why I should not like to be back in the book trade for life, however, is that while I was in it I lost my love of books. A bookseller cannot always tell the truth about his books, and that gives him a dislike for them. There was a time when I really did love books—loved the sight and smell and feel of them—if they were fifty or more years old , that is .

Nothing pleased me quite so much as to buy a bargain lot of them on sale for several pounds. There is a peculiar flavor(独特的味道)about the unexpected books you pick up in that kind of collection: little-known eighteenth-century poets , or out-of-date geography books . For occasional(偶尔的)reading—in your bath , for

example , or late at night when you are too tired to go to bed—there is nothing as good as a very old picture story-book .

But as soon as I went to work in the bookshop I stopped buying books seen in a mass. Five or ten thousand at a time, books were dull and even a little tiresome. Nowadays I do buy one occasionally, but only if it is a book that I want to read and can’t borrow, and I never buy rubbish.

3.The author should not like to be back as a bookseller for life because . A. he hated his job of selling books_________. B. he lost his love of books.

C. the books in the shop gave him a dislike

C. peculiar ones with great expectation

D. geography ones from the eighteenth century 答案: B

5. The author will only buy new books . A. if he feels dull and tired

B. after he gives up his job as a bookseller C. which are interesting but hard to borrow D. when he throws away old ones 答案: B

Millions of aircraft take off around the world every year. The skies they fly in seem limitless—miles of empty space .But, with the number of flights increasing each year, this emptiness no longer exists. Researchers in the world of aviation(航空)are worried about the increasing pressure on pilots and ground controllers. And increasing collisions, occurring at or near an airport, have called attention to the need for more aids(辅助设备)to aviation control.

People who travel the skies are not certain about air safety. A great deal of money is spent on new and bigger aircraft and airports to deal with the vast increase in passengers traveling by air. Only a small percentage of this money is spent on navigation(导航)and other aids . Actually, suitable electronic equipment has long existed, and many companies market safety aids designed to make it safer for aircraft to take off, fly any distance, and land, whatever the weather.

Yet, there are two problems to be solved. The first is to get governments, airlines and airport officials to agree to basic levels of safety aids. The second problem is to find a way of meeting these basic requirements.

But no matter how well the equipment works, operators of the equipment still play an important role. Communications between pilots and ground controllers are extremely important to air safety. It is worth pointing our that the mishearing or misunderstanding of instructions in English, and the use of another language, in an international conversation, have led to two recent aircraft accidents. A new type of instrument(仪器)called FLIGHTWATCH would help pilots prevent airport collisions . It would be particularly helpful near airports.

6. The increasing number of flights leads to the fact that .

A. flying is no longer limited in the sky

B. there is no empty space for aids to aviation control C. piloting and controlling planes is getting more difficult D. the pressure on the ground becomes greater

答案: B

A. planes become bigger for the increasing number of passengers B. money spent on electronic equipment is far from enough C. suitable electronic equipment hasn’t been invented yet D. it is dangerous for planes to take off or land 答案: B
