高二英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

On a recent visit to the Museum of Modem Art with a friend and her daughter,wandering through the museum's exhibits,I was struck by how often my friend's 13-year-old daughter asked us to take photos of her with her smart phone in front of the artwork.Then,she gazed at the photos which she would then post on Instagram,Snapchat and all the rest.She was not the only person who was doing this; it seemed everyone was busy taking photos of themselves "experiencing" the museum.

This is by no means a criticism of my friend's daughter or anyone else.What was concerning,at least to me,was that in between being photographed and posting,my friend's daughter had no interest in the artwork,a fact which didn't seem to matter or have anything to do with wanting to post herself as someone enjoying the experience.

When I was her age,I had no interest in going to museums either.Having no interest in art at her age (and any age) is completely normal.But what is disturbing is how much of a young person's energy these days goes into creating an image of the life they're living and the character they "are" in that life.While creating a self-image has always been a big part of growing up and figuring out our identity,social media seems to have changed the rules of the game.Social media has not just increased the pressure and possibility of creating a self-generated（自我创造的）　 self-image,but also distorted（歪曲）the process through which we become who we are.Young people now seem to be creating an image of who they are in place of becoming who they are,posting their life rather than living it.

Social media has turned life and its experiences into an exercise in narcissism（自恋，自我陶醉）.No matter what the experience is actually about,it becomes about you,the person who is living it.A concert is not about the music,a restaurant not about the food and a sport event not about the sport;it's all about you,the doer,and what the event says about you.As a result the more we use life create an identity,the more distant from life we feel.Instead of being part of it,we feel as if we have to keep generating new life material.

I hope the next time you post your story,pause for a moment and experience where you are,feel what it feels like to live what you're living without using life for your benefit,or for anything at all.Just live,without the narrative（叙述）.While you may feel this practice is a threat to your identity,causing you to miss a chance to prove your value,in fact,the benefit will far outweigh any loss it brings.

1.According to the author,the fact that her friend's daughter was not interested in the artwork is_____.

A. worrying　　 B. unsurprising

C. unchangeable　　 D. unbearable

2.Which of the following is the basic reason behind people's continuously posting their life?

A. Their desire for being well known.

B. Their increased focus on life.

C. The influence of social media.

D. The pressure from their family and friends.

3.The author believes that the identity people create through narcissism may______.

A. prevent them behaving properly

B. stand in the way of leading a true life

C. cause them to depend more on the remarks of others

D. damage their creativity in producing life material

4.The underlined "it" in the last paragraph refers to______.

A. trying to take control of your feelings

B. facing the threat to your identity bravely

C. improving your self-image through writing

D. experiencing what you're doing practically

高二英语阅读理解简单题查看答案及解析

On the eve of our daughters' weddings， I gave both of them what I considered to be excellent marital advice： never leave your husband unsupervised （无人监督的） with pruning shears （修枝剪）．

If only I had taken my own advice． I recently let my guard down． Thirty﹣some years of marriage can do that to a woman． Give a man pruning shears and electric trimmers （电动修剪器） and he will give new meaning to "armed and dangerous．"

One day earlier this year， my husband said that the crab apple tree was dead．

"Why do you think it is dead？" I asked．

"Look at it． There's not a leaf on it．"

"There's not a leaf on anything． It's March，" I said

"It looked sick last fall and with this bitter winter we had， I'm convinced it's dead．"

The truth is he's never liked the crabapple． Sure， it has beautiful blooms in the spring， but then it gets a disease， the leaves curl， and it drops those little apples that sit on the driveway．

Each passing week he pronounced the tree dead． Eventually I began to believe him． Though he agreed it would be a regrettable loss， there was a twinkle in his eye． He armed himself a couple of weeks ago and began trimming． A branch here， a branch there， a small limb， then a large limb． I watched and then decided to check the wood on some of the branches closer to the trunk． I broke one off and saw green．

The crabapple was not dead． It just hadn't had time to leaf out． The tree was now falling to one side， but it was not dead． I would have told him so， but he had moved on to a maple． Once the man starts， he can't stop． One trim leads to another．

"Please， stop!" I called．

He smiled and nodded， but he couldn't hear because he had started the hedge （树篱） trimmers and was getting ready to fix a line of hedges．

Zip （飕飕声）， zip， zip．

"What do you think？" he shouted．

"It's supposed to be a privacy hedge； now all that will be private are our ankles．"

He started the trimmers again．

"Stop!" I called， "Come back!"

"Why？" he shouted．

"You're in the neighbor's yard．"

1.By saying "If only I had taken my own advice．" the author means that　　　 　．

A. she didn't follow her own advice about pruning shears．

B. she feels regretful about her marriage after many years．

C. she shouldn't have kept a close watch on her husband．

D. she shouldn't have given that marital advice to her daughters．

2.We can learn from the article that the author's husband　　　 　．

A. has a great talent for gardening．

B. nearly ruined their neighbor's garden．

C. mistook their crab apple tree for a maple tree．

D. had never used pruning shears before．

3.What does the article mainly talk about？

A. Why the author's husband insisted on trimming their crabapple tree．

B. Why the author's husband shouldn't have been allowed to trim their crab apple tree．

C. How the author has survived her "thirty﹣some" years of marriage．

D. How the author's husband killed their crab apple tree．

4.What is the tone of the article？

A. Anxious．

B. Critical．

C. Serious．

D. Humorous．
