高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析
When you close your eyes and try to think of the shape of your own body, what you imagine (or rather, what you feel) is quite different from what you see when you open your eyes and look in the mirror. The image you feel is much vaguer（模糊的） than the one you see. And if you lie still, it is quite hard to imagine yourself as having any particular size or shape.
When you move, when you feel the weight of your arms and legs and the natural resistance of the objects around you, the “felt” image of yourself starts to become clearer. It is almost as if it were created by your own actions and the feelings they cause.
The image you create for yourself has rather strange proportions（部分）; certain parts feel much larger than they look. If you get a hole in one of your teeth, it feels enormous; you are often surprised by how small it looks when you inspect it in the mirror.
Although the “felt” image may not have the shape you see in the mirror, it is much more important. It is the image through which you recognize your physical existence in the world. In spite of its strange proportions, it is all one piece, and since it has a consistent(前后一致的) right and left and atop and bottom, it allows you to locate new feelings when they occur. It allows you to find your nose in the dark and point to a pain.
If the felt image is damaged for any reason—if it is cut in half or lost as it often is after certain strokes （中风）which wipe out recognition of one entire side –these tasks become almost impossible. What is more, it becomes hard to make sense of one’s own visual appearance. If one half of the “felt” image is wiped out or injured, the patient stops recognizing the affected part of his body. It is hard for him to find the location of feelings on that side, and, although he feels the doctor’s touch, he locates it as being on the undamaged side.
1.According to the passage the “felt” image________the mirror image.
A．is precisely the same as B．is as clear as
C．often differens from D．is always much smaller than
2.Which the following staterants is NOT true?
A．The felt Image is much more important because it helps you locate new feelings.
B．When you are in bed with your eyes closed, it is not easy to imagine your image.
C．When you move, the “felt” image of yourself starts to become clearer.
D．The “felt” image is not so important as the mirror image.
3.If a man loses the ability to recognize his right side,________.
A．he can’t locate the doctor’s touch on his left side
B．he can’t locate the doctor’s touch on his right side
C．he loses his sense of touch on the left side
D．he loses feeling on both sides
4.What is this passage mainly about?
A．Stroke victims’ “felt” images B．Stroke victims’ mirror images.
C．The importance of “felt” images D．The importance of mirror images.

Close your eyes and picture the city of Paris．Now imagine the city without its most famous landmark：the Eiffel Tower．
The unthinkable almost happened．
When French engineer Gustave Eiffel built this tower for the Paris World’s Fair of 1889，it was controversial．The iron structure contrasted(对比)sharply with the historic stone buildings of Paris．Eiffel’s four-legged iron archway was supposed to last only 20 years．That’s when Eiffel’s permit to operate the building would expire(过期)and the city could choose to tear it down．
Yet from the beginning．Eiffel had a strategy to save his building．If the Tower was linked to important research，he reasoned，no one would dare to take it down．So he would make it a grand laboratory for science．
Scientific research began just one day after the Tower opened to the public on May 6，1889．Eiffel installed a weather station on the Tower’s third(and highest)floor．He connected instruments by wire to the French weather bureau in Paris．With these，he measured wind speed and air pressure．
In 1903，still worried that his building might be torn down，Eiffel got a clever idea．He asked the French military to conduct its own research on radio communications at the Tower．He even paid the army’s costs．
French army captain Gustave Ferrié worked from a little wooden house at the base of the Tower's southern pillar．From there，he made radio contact with forts around Paris．Convinced of the importance of radio communications，the army set up a permanent radio station at the Tower．In 1910，the city of Paris renewed the structure’s permit for another 70 years．
This year marks the iconic structure’s 125th birthday．Over the years，research conducted there has brought dramatic and unexpected payoffs．During World War I，for instance，the French army used the Tower as a giant ear to receive radio messages．It even led to the arrest of one of the war's most famous spies．
1.What does the author mean by“The unthinkable almost happened”?
A．The Eiffel Tower was almost torn down．
B．Gustave Eiffel was more than an engineer．
C．It took great efforts to build the Eiffel Tower．
D．The Eiffel Tower has served important purposes．
2.The Eiffel Tower was controversial because_____________．
A．it was giant and ugly
B．it would expire too soon
C．some historic buildings had to be removed
D．it didn’t match the historic buildings of Paris
3.How did Gustave Eiffel save the Eiffel Tower?
A．By asking the army to defend it．
B．By showing its importance for tourism．
C．By making it a base for scientific research．
D．By asking the government to renew its permit．
4.The arrest of a famous spy is mentioned to show．
A．the Eiffel Tower has lost its initial value
B．the Eiffel Tower has existed long enough
C．research done in the Eiffel Tower had unexpected payoffs
D．the Eiffel Tower was successfully preserved during the war
