阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

After years of study，I have known there are only two types of people in this world：those who get to the airport early and those who arrive as the plane is about to take off.

If there were any justice in this world，the early­airport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing and the late­airport people would be punished.But the early­airport people get ulcers(溃疡)，heart attacks and bite their finger­nails to the bone (急得团团转)．The late­airport people are hardly aware that they are flying.

A guy of that kind once said，“Don’t hurry.If you miss your flight，it’s because God didn’t want you to go.”This is clearly a guy who is never going to get an ulcer.

Early­airport people suffer another“name”．They are called exactly what they are—wimps(懦夫)．I know I am an early­airport person for years.My luggage will get on the plane first，which makes it the last luggage they take off the plane after landing.

Another strange thing：No matter how early I showed up，I was always told that someone had called two or three years ahead of me and asked for the best seat.I figured it was a trick.I figured there was someone in America who called every airline every day and said，“Is that wimp Simon flying somewhere today？If he is，give me his seat.”

After a lifetime arguing with my wife over whether I really have to pack 24 hours in advance and set the alarm clock four hours ahead，I have learned another fact about early­airport people and late­airport people：

They always marry each other.

1.We can learn from the passage that________.

A．late­airport persons often get ulcers or heart attacks

B．early­airport persons are always relaxed during the flight

C．early­airport persons get their luggage first after landing

D．late­airport persons always take things easy

2.The fifth paragraph mainly tells us________.

A．someone always plays tricks on the writer

B．the airlines usually fool passengers

C．early­airport persons always can’t get good seats

D．the service of airlines is very bad

3.The purpose of writing the passage is to________.

A．give useful tips on taking a plane

B．offer advice about catching a plane

C．express the writer’s anxiety about taking planes

D．show peoples two attitudes toward catching planes

4.It could be inferred that the writer’s wife is________.

A．an early­airport woman B．a late­airport woman

C．a hot­tempered woman 　 D．a sensitive woman

5.The writing style of the passage would be best described as________.

A．serious　　　　 B．simple

C．humorous　 　　 D．ironic

After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a spe­cial student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me. I was told it would mean a great deal to him, so I agreed.

During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams.

I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me. When we had finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”

Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:

Dear Dick,

My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live any more, but I still smile as much as I can.

I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I will never get to do that. However, I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.

Your friend,

Matthew

1.The boy looked forward to meeting the author because _________.

2.The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means that _______.

3.From the passage we learn that _________.

4.Matthew didn’t accept the author’s medal because _________.

5.What would be the best title for this passage?

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Last week I talked with some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated, and what kind of job prospects they thought they had.

Given that I teach students who are training to be doctors, I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”. “What kind of help is that?” I asked, expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out.

“Surgery(外科手术)”, one replied.

I was pretty alarmed by that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job.

One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height. “They break your legs, put in special extending screws, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it re-grows, you can get at least 5 cm taller!”

At that point, I was shocked. I am short, I can’t deny that, but I don’t think I would put myself through months of agony(痛苦) just to be a few centimeters taller. I don’t even bother to wear shoes with thick soles, as I’m not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!

It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”, and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality.

No one is born perfect, yet magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm. Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a requirement, and that it must be purchased, no matter what the cost.

In my opinion, skills, rather than appearance, should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career.

1.We can know from the passage that the author works as ________.

A. a doctor　　　　　　 B. a model　　　　 C. a teacher　　　　　 D. a reporter

2.Many graduates today turn to cosmetic s surgery to ________.

A. marry a better man\woman　　　　　　　　 B. become a model

C. get an advantage over others in job-hunt　　 D. attract more admirers

3.According to the passage, the author believes that ________.

A. everyone should purchase perfection, whatever the cost

B. it’s right for graduates to ask for others to help them out in hunting for jobs

C. it is one’s appearance instead of skills that really matters in one’s career

D. media are to blame for misleading young people in their seeking for surgery

4.The best title for the passage should be “________”.

A. Young Graduates Have Higher Expectation

B. Young Graduates Look to Surgery for Better Jobs

C. Young Graduates’ Opinion About Cosmetic Surgery

D. Young Graduates Face a Different Situation in Job-hunt
