第6题(2016年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语安徽卷)
People fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor in 1944, when she starred in National Velvet-the story of Velvet Brown, a young girl who wins first place in a famous horse race. At first, the producers of the movie told Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet. However, they waited for her for a few months as she exercised and trained—and added three inches to her height in four months! Her acting in National Velvet is still considered the best by a child actress.
Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932. Her parents, both Americans, had moved there for business reasons. When World war II started, the Taylor moved to Beverly Hills, California, and there Elizabeth started acting in movies. After her success as a child star, Taylor had no trouble moving into adult(成人)roles and won twice for Best Actress: Butterfield 8(1960) and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf ? (1966)
Taylor’s fame(名声)and popularity gave her a lot of power with the movie industry, so she was able to demand very high pay for her movies. In 1963, she received $1 million for her part in Cleopatra—the highest pay received by any star up to that time.
Elizabeth Taylor is a legend (传奇人物) of our time. Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet, she has been lucky, she has beauty, fame and wealth. But she is also a hard worker. Taylor seldom acts in movies any more. Instead, she puts her time and efforts into her businesses, and into helping others — several years ago, she founded an organization that has raised more than $40 million for research and education.
60. The producers didn’t let Taylor play the part of Velvet at first because they thought she . A. was small in size
B. was too young
C. did not play well enough D. did not show much interest
61. What Elizabeth Taylor and Velvet Brown had in common was that they were both . A. popular all their lives B. famous actresses C. successful when very young D. rich and kind-hearted 62. Taylor became Best Actress at the age of . A. 12 B. 28 C. 31 D. 34
63. In her later life , Elizabeth Taylor devoted herself to . A. doing business and helping others C. collecting money for the poor 答案 60.A 61.C 62.B 63.A
60．解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据第一段第二句。“At first, the producers of the movie told Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet.”这里的small是指身高而不是年龄，因为剧组又等她长了3英寸才开始拍。所以选A.
61．解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据第一段“the story of Velvet Brown, a young girl who wins first place in a famous horse race”和第二段“After her success as a child star”可以推断两个都是很小就成名了。
62．解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据“Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932.”和“Taylor had no trouble moving into adult roles and won twice for Best Actress: Butterfield8(1960) and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?(1966)”可知第一次获得最佳演员是1960年，28岁。
63．解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据“Instead, she puts her time and efforts into her businesses, and into helping others”可以知道她的后期生活主要在做生意和帮助他人，所以选A.
第7题(2005年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语辽宁卷)
When Babbage was working at Cambridge, a new idea occurred to him. He wanted to construct a calculating machine to work out the solutions（解法）to maths problems not only with
B. turning herself into a legend
D. going about research and education work
correctness but also with a speed beyond the power of any human mind. His machine could solve problems involving（涉及）long rows of figures in one continuous operation（运算）.
In 1822 Babbage exhibited his invention and won a prize from the government. After that, he immediately started to work on a larger machine designed to solve more difficult problems. Although he received some money left by his father, the money was not enough to support his design. He wrote to the government about his plan and was given ￡2500 to start with, a sum worth much more in those days than it is now.
Babbage continued his work in London for four years. Then his health broke down, and he had to take a long holiday abroad. When he returned to London in 1828, he was at the end of his resources. Many bills remained unpaid. His chief assistant and co-workers quarreled with him and left with many expensive tools. For one year no work was done. During this period, Babbage, whose mind was always active, suddenly thought of a completely new idea for the machine. He rushed to meet the government officials to explain his new idea. But this time, they were unwilling to help him. For eight years, they refused to say whether they wanted the machine or not, and their final answer was “No.”
From 1828 to 1839, Babbage held the position of professor at Cambridge very
successfully. But his greatest work was the unfinished calculating machine which stood covered in dust in his house. It was the beginning of the modern computer.
60．The machine Babbage designed would solve difficult maths problems _________. A．in one operation with few mistakes
B．in more than one operation without any mistakes C．in more than one operation with slight mistakes D．in one operation without any mistakes
61．Babbage failed to continue his research work in 1828 mainly because _______. A．he was in poor health B．he almost ran out of money C．his co-workers argued with him D．he spent all his money on his bills 62．Babage explained his new idea to the government officials, expecting that _________. A．they would agree to his plan B．they would pay for his new idea C．they would support him with money
D．they would exhibit his new design
63．From the passage, we can infer that __________. A．Babbage failed to be a famous scientist at Cambridge B．Babbage always had new ideas but gave them up easily C．Babbage always needed support from the government officials D．Babbage was the first designer of the modern computer 答案 60.D 61.B 62.C 63.D
60.解析：这是一道细节推断题。从第一段“He wanted to construct a calculating machine to work out the solutions to maths problems not only with correctness but also with a speed beyond the power of any human mind.”可知，他设计出的机器将会准确无误地解决数学难题。
61.解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据第三段“When he returned to London in 1828， he was at the end of resource.”可判断出他没有继续自己的研究工作是因为资金短缺。
62.解析：这是一道推断题。根据第三段“He rushed to meet the government officials to explain his new idea. But this time， they were unwilling to help him”可推断出他去找政府官员的目的是寻求资金方面的援助。
63.解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据短文的最后一句话“It was the beginning of the modern computer.”可判断出Babbage是电脑的鼻祖。
第8题(2005年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语江苏卷)
Jane Austen, a famous English writer, was born at Steventon, Hampshire, on December 16,1775, and died on July 18, 1817. She began writing early in life, although the prejudices of her times forced her to have her books published anonymously ( 匿名 ).
But Jane Austen is perhaps the best known and best loved of Bath's many famous local people and visitors. She paid two long visits here during the last five years of the eighteenth century and from 1801 to 1806, Bath was her home. Her deep knowledge of the city is fully seen in two of her novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, which are largely set in Bath. The city is still very much as Jane Austen knew it, keeping in its streets and public buildings the well-ordered world that she described so well in her novels. Now the pleasure of learning Jane Austen's Bath can be enhanced (增强)by visiting the Jane Austen Centre in Gay Street. Here, in a Georgian town house in the heart of the city, you can find out more about Bath in Jane Austen's time and the importance of Bath in her life and work.
