专四(TEM-4)阅读理解练习题及答案
答案与解析
【文章概要】
本文讲述一位盲人因一次意外事故失明后如何克服困难，重新定位自己，取得人生价值的故事。第1段叙述作者因一次意外事故失明，但失明没有使他丧失对生活的信心，反而让他更懂得珍惜他所拥有的东西;第2—4段讲述他如何走出阴影，最终找到了自己的位置，并发明了滚球 (ground ball);最后一段总结他的成功经验，即在生活中不断给自己设立目标并为之而奋斗。
【答案解析】
1.[C]细节判断题。第l段最后一句指出“所失去的让我更懂得珍惜现在拥有的”，故选C。作者失明是因为他从一辆货车(box car)A摔下来，而不是因为汽车事故，故排除A;B的推断没有原文依据;文中提到他渴望重见光明。D的表述与原文有出入。
2.[B]细节判断题。the most difficult thin9是The hardest lesson的同义改写，故可定位到第3段。该段首句指出最困难的事情是“相信自己”，But所在的句子做了更具体的解释即“对自己的一种坚信，我还是 我，尽管不是完美的……坚信自己可以找到一个适合自己的位置”，故选B。A太笼统;由第2段可知他的生活并不是孤单的，他还有父母、老师等的支持，故C错 误;D文中没有提到。
3.[C]句意理解题。本题可用排除法。第3段第3句提到，“如果我不坚信自己，我会崩溃，变成一个坐在轮椅里的废人了，在门廊前度此余生”，由此可知C正确。
4.[D]细节判断题。根据baseball定位到倒数第2段。从该段最后两句可知棒球和那个男人的鼓励给作者以启示和鼓舞.从而发明了一种叫“滚球”的运动，故选D。该段提到作者以为那个男人是在嘲讽他，但后来在他的激励下有所启发，故A错误;B“给作者留下了深刻印象”在文中没有提及;C中的directly错误，男人的话只是给了作者启发。
5.[B]细节判断题。最后一段第2、3句表明我们要意识到自己的局限性，在开始时尝试那些遥不可及的东西只会徒劳无益，故B正确;由该段第1句和最后一句可知作者为自己不断设立目标并实现了大部分的目标，故A错误：最后一句的anyway but可知C错误;文中并没有指出他每次尝试一个目标是因为他自己的局限，故D属干随意捏造。
篇三：
I have known very few writers, but those I have known, and whom I respected, confess atonce that they have little idea where they are going when they first set pen to paper. They have acharacter, perhaps two; they are in that condition of eager discomfort which passes forinspiration; all admit radical changes of destination once the joumey has begun; one, to mycertain knowledge, spent nine months on a novel about Kashmir, then reset the whole thing inthe Scottish Highlands. I never heard of anyone making a "skeleton", as we were taught at school.In the breaking and remaking, in the timing, interweaving, beginning afresh, the writer comes todiscern things in his material which were not consciously in his mind when he began.
This organic process, often leading to moments of extraordinary self-discovery, is of anindescribable fascination. A blurred image appears, he adds a brushstroke and another, and it isgone; but something was there, and he will not rest till he has captured it. Sometimes the’ yeastwithin a writer outlives a book he has written. I have heard of writers who read nothing but theirown books, like adolescents they stand before the mirror, and still cannot fathom the exact outlineof the vision before them. For the same reason, writers talk interminably about their own books,winkling out hidden meanings, superimposing new ones, begging response from those aroundthem.
Of course a writer doing this is misunderstood: he might as well try to explain a crime or alove affair. He is also. Incidentally, an unforgivable bore. This temptation to cover the distancebetween himself and the reader, to study his image in the sight of those who do not know him,can be his undoing: he has begun to write to please.
A young English writer made the pertinent observation a year or two back that the talentgoes into the first draft, and the art into the drafts that follow. For this reason also the writer, likeany other artist, has no resting place, no crowd or movement in which he may take comfort, nojudgment from outside which can replace the judgment from within. A writer makes order out ofthe anarchy of his heart; he submits himself to a more ruthless discipline than any critic dreamedof, and when he flirts with fame, he is taking time off from living with himself, from the search forwhat his world contains at its inmost point.
1. The writers that the author is familiar with confess that they would
A. work out the ending of a novel in advance.
B. follow the writing methods learned at school.
C. remodel the main character in writing.
D. make changes to the stories they first construct.
2. According to the passage, the process of writing
A. depends on skillful planning.
B. is predictable and methodological.
C. depends on the writers’ experiences.
D. is disorderly and unsystematic.
3. The word "undoing" in the third paragraph probably suggests
A. success.
B. happiness.
C. failure.
D. sorrow.
4. According to the passage, the writer has no resting place because
A. he is not clear about what he will write at the beginning.
B. he should constantly edit his work to make it perfect.
C. he has to face a lot of responses given by readers.
D. he should add brushstrokes to the appearing blurred images.
5. Which of the following statements about writers is TRUE according to the last paragraph?
A. They have little ideas before they start writing.
B. Their talent goes into all their drafts.
C. It does harm to their writing when they flirt with fame.
D. They try to increase communication with readers.
答案与解析
【文章概要】
第l段指出作家在写作前后，作品的内容往往可能发生极大的变化。第2段承接上文指出这一有机写作过程，往往能引领作者到达自我发现的境界：并指出作家在写作完成后的种种表现。第3段指出作家如果企图通过他人的评论了解自己塑造的形象，就相当于为取悦他人而写作。第4段指出作家需不断创作和修改作品的真正原因及作家追逐名利的危害。
【答案解析】
1.[D]细节判断题。根据familiar with，confess及各选项内容定位到第1段。第1段指出，这些作家在写作前后，作品的内容往往可能发生极大的变化，其中作者提到，有一位作家就将小说的背景从克什米尔搬到了苏格兰高地。由此可见，D的表述符合文意，为本题答案。文中指出，这些作家动笔之前不会有整篇的构思，也不会按学校所教的那样列出提纲，A、B可排除。文中只说作者开始写作时可能心中已经设定了一两个角色，并没有提到会否重新塑造或改变作品的主要角色，故C应排除。
2.[D]细节推断题。第1段明确指出，作者熟悉的那些作家在写作过程中没有既定的`思路，情节设置也往往根据需要或更深了解素材后才做出相应的变化和调整，这就表明，写作过程有点“混乱”，构思也不很系统化;此外，第2段提到。如果作家脑海中出现了朦胧的形象，他们会在此基础上做任意的改动。由此可见，D正确。根据文中介绍，写作过程并没有完整的构思，也无法预见，只是在写作过程中不断完善，可很快将A、B排除。此外。作家在写作的过程中会更多地了解所搜集的素材，这也与经历无关，故C也排除。
3.[C]词义推断题。第3段指出作家如果试图拉近自己与读者的距离，企图通过他人的评论了解自己塑造的形象，就相当于为取悦他人而写作。四个选项中，较能概括这种行为性质的是C。此外，undoing有“毁灭”之义，故C为本题答案。
4.[B]因果关系题。根据题干中的no resting place定位到第4段。第4段段首提到：作家的才华体现在初稿，而艺术则体现在之后不断修改的稿子中。第2句以For this reason(鉴于此)引出作家不能休息的情形。由此可见，第4段首句的内容，即作家需不断创作和修改作品：以实现由才华到艺术的转变是作家无法休息的真正原因。故8为答案，A、C、D不合文意。
5.[C]细节判断题。末段末旬指出：“当他追逐名利时，他就脱离了自我生活，脱离了对自己内心最深处世界的探索”，故C符合文意，为本题答案。选项A、D均来自文中，但与末段无关，可排除。B与原文表述“作家的才华体现在初稿，而艺术则体现在之后不断修改的稿子中”不符，可排除。
