2018年學(xué)位英語閱讀理解習(xí)題及答案（5）

　　Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives. If you are thing of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialists' advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog. But in part the decision depends on common sense. Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics. You must also be ready to devote a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs through out its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place where it is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection. The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its love from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.

　　Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops, and factories are discovering the greater efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunchrooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the "typical" Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life.What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality.

　　Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that "assembly-life" will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely (but less productive) old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste the elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life—to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple,a stroll(散步)by the river,or just happy hours of conversation in a local cafe?

　　Since the late 1950's life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of this competitive, goods-oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence.

　　In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modern economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, conveniences,and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modem,industrial France is preferable to the old.

　　6.Which of the following is Not related to the new French way of life?

　　A. Shorter lunch hour.

　　B. Greater output.

　　C. Creature comforts.

　　D. Leisurely cafe talk.

　　參考答案：D

　　詳解：答案D.從第一段三、四句可知，A、B兩項(xiàng)是法國新的生活方式所帶來的結(jié)果。第一段倒數(shù)兩句指出，他獲得了舒服和自在的生活，但在一定程度上失去了個(gè)性�？梢姡珻項(xiàng)也屬于新的生活方式。只有D項(xiàng)屬于舊的生活方式。因此D項(xiàng)為此題答案。

　　7.Which of the following is NOT true about Frenchmen?

　　A. Many of them prefer the modern life style.

　　B. They actually enjoy working at the assembly line.

　　C. They are more concerned with money than before.

　　D. They are more competitive than the older generation.

　　參考答案：B

　　詳解：答案B.從最后一段可知A項(xiàng)說法正確，從第一、二段可知C、D兩項(xiàng)說法也對。從文章中可知，由于法國人更關(guān)心錢，他們的生活節(jié)奏加快，工作效率提高，但文中并沒有指出他們很喜歡這種流水線的工作，而且有些人對這種變化持反對態(tài)度，故A項(xiàng)不對。因此B項(xiàng)為此題答案。

　　8.The passage suggests that _____.

　　A. in pursuing material gains the French are suffering losses elsewhere

　　B. it's now unlikely to see a Frenchman enjoying a stroll by the river

　　C. the French are fed up with the smell of freshly picked apples

　　D. great changes have occurred in the life style of all Frenchmen

　　參考答案：A

　　詳解：答案A.從第一段的最后可知A項(xiàng)說法正確。B、C、D三項(xiàng)說法過于片面，過于絕對，故不對。因此A項(xiàng)為正確答案。

　　9.Which of the following is true about the critics?

　　A. Critics are greater in number than people enjoying the new way of life.

　　B. Student critics are greater in number than critics in other fields.

　　C. Student critics have, on occasion, resorted to violent means against the trend.

　　D. Critics are concerned solely with the present and not the future.

　　參考答案：C

　　詳解：答案C.第三段第三、四句指出，學(xué)生關(guān)心未來，擔(dān)心法國受到這種充滿競爭的、商品化文化的威脅。偶爾，他們用相當(dāng)?shù)谋┝�來反對這種趨勢�？梢�，C項(xiàng)說法與此一致，D項(xiàng)不對。從最后一段中可知A，B兩項(xiàng)均不對。因此C項(xiàng)為正確答案。

　　10.Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?

　　A. Changes in French way of life.

　　B. Criticism of the new life style.

　　C. The Americanization of France.

　　D. Features of the new way of life.

　　參考答案：A

　　詳解：答案A.文章主要是講述法國生活方式的變化，作者的態(tài)度是客觀的，沒有對這種變化發(fā)表個(gè)人看法，沒有帶任何主觀色彩。因此A項(xiàng)為正確答案。
