2024屆重慶市高考英語一輪復(fù)習(xí)閱讀理解選編精練：41（含解析）
重慶市2024高考英語閱讀理解選編（4）（附解析）Here’s a movie—a sharp, sugar-rush of fun that’s guaranteed to entertain the entire family. With some terrific computer-generated effects, a great cast and a fun-packed storyline, Robots is the best animated film (動畫片) since The Incredibles. Yep, it really is that good. Set in a world populated by robots, Ewan McGregor plays Rodney Copperbottom, a young robot who leaves his small-town home to pursue his dream of becoming an inventor. But after arriving in Robot City, his hopes of getting a job at Bigweld Industries are destroyed when he learns the firm has been taken over by the evil Ratchet (Greg Kinnear). Egged on by his controlling mum, Madame Gasket (Jim Broadbent), Ratchet plans to reduce half of Robot City’s citizens to scrap metal by refusing to sell the spare parts they need to survive. Instead, he wants to make a fortune selling expensive upgrades that few can afford. As he says, “Why be you when you can be new?” Aided by a few misfit robots known as the Rustles—including Robin Williams as the cowardly' (膽小的）Fender (“I’m made of a metal called Afraidium”)—Rodney must track down the firm’s founder, Bigweld (Mel Brooks), and convince him to save the city from Ratchet’s plans. The first thing that’ll strike you about the movie is the thought that's gone into creating Robot City. It’s a wondrous world full of mechanical marvels including wind-up cars and walking streetlamps. Also terrific are the special effects. This might be an animated movie but at times you’ll catch yourself thinking it’s really a live-action film. Of course, there have been plenty of animated movies that looked the part but were let down by a weak storyline (see Shark Tale, for example). But Robots grips (扣人心弦) right from the start thanks to a heart-warming and thoroughly engaging plot that never bores. My only complaints are with Williams who, as usual，has a one-in-10 success rate with his jokes. Also a letdown is a romantic subplot between Rodney and a shapely robot called Cappy (Halle Berry) that doesn’t go anywhere. Complains aside, this is a mechanical marvel that’ll have you bolted firmly to your seat. BEST QUOTE(引述): Fender: “Even though you had a discouraging day, just remember there’s another one coming tomorrow.” BEST BIT: Check out those amazing images.
WORST BIT: Robin Williams, character does an unfunny Britney Spears dance routine. IF YOU LIKED…Ice Age, The Incredibles, Toy Story... YOU’LL LIKE THIS. 1、This piece of writing is a _______.
A．commercial advertisement B．film review
C．movie poster D．literary essay
The cast of Robots is made up of all the following actors or actresses EXCEPT _______.
A．Ewan McGregor B．Robin Williams
C．Britney Spears D．Halle Berry
What is Shark Tale an example of?
A．A great cast. B．A poor plot.
C．Special effects. D．Clumsy animation.

閱讀理解2024·江西省高三上學(xué)期七校聯(lián)考A year ago August，Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan.His wife，Gerrie，was still working in the local school cafeteria，but work for Dave was scarce，and the price of everything was rising.The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years.Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift—$7,000，a legacy (遺產(chǎn)) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch who died in an accident.“It really made a difference when we were going under financially，” says Dave.
But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive the unexpected legacy from the Hatches.Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches’ generosity.In some cases，it was a few thousand dollars；in others，it was more than $100,000.
It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money，more than $3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.
Children of the Great Depression，Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving.They liked comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store，checking prices before making a new purchase.
Through the years，the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn’t afford it.“Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything，” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden.“They could see things they could do to make you happier，and they would do them.”
Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed.It was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy—a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents—should enrich the whole community and last for generations to come.

答案：D閱讀下列材料，從每題所給的選項中選出最佳選項。(2024·長沙二模)If you're thinking about reaching for another biscuit to get you through the working day，think again.Eating unhealthy snacks at your desk makes you pile on almost half a stone a yeara survey has revealed.The waistlines of women suffer the most，with the average female putting on 6lb 3oz—the equivalent of a whole dress size—while men see their weight increase by 5lb 2oz.
The report into our eating habits found that，on average，we eat at least two snacks a day，with 30 percent of us tucking into three or more.Women admit eating more than men，with a further 13 percent of ladies scoffing four or more snacks a day.The research，by The Village Bakery，found biscuits are the most common vice，with 42 percent regularly opening a pack，closely followed by chocolate (38 percent)，crisps (32 percent) and cakes ( 13 percent)．
And office workers are worse than most.Cakes and biscuits brought into work by colleagues are one of the main temptations office staff give in to.In addition，33 percent admit reaching for nibbles to cope with stress and 22 percent say they need a sugar rush to perk them up in the afternoon.
Simon Staddon，of The Village Bakery，said：“We were aware time－poor office workers can find it difficult to easily access a nutritional lunch.But we were really shocked by the extent to which ‘quick fix’ lunches are affecting weight gain and general well－being.Popular mid－afternoon pick－me－ups such as biscuits，chocolate and cakes are high in calories，fat and full of sugar，all of which affect your blood sugar levels and ultimately lead to weight gain.”
The survey of 2，000 British men and women suggests we are often ashamed of our unhealthy eating.Twenty－four percent of Britons admit lying about how many snacks they eat with 33 percent of women lying，compared to 20 percent of men.Unfortunately，it's as if we are not likely to do anything positive to counteract the sweet treats.

(2024·鄭州市二模，B)
It was an autumn morning shortly after my husband and I moved into our first house. Our children were upstairs unpacking, and I was looking out of the window at my father moving around mysteriously on the front lawn. “What are you doing out there？” I called to him.
He looked up, smiling, “I'm making you a surprise.” I thought it could be just about anything. When we were kids, he always created something surprising for us. Today, however, Dad would say no more, and caught up in the business of our new life, I eventually forgot about his surprise.
Until one gloomy day the next March when I glanced out of the window, I saw
a dot of blue across the yard.
I headed outside for a closer look.
They were
crocuses (番紅花) throughout the front lawn—blue, yellow and my favorite pink,
with little faces moving up and down in the cold wind. I remembered the things Dad secretly
planted last autumn. He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down.
What could have been more perfectly timely to my needs?
My father's crocuses bloomed (開花) each spring for the next five seasons, always bringing
the same assurance: Hard times are almost over. Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon.
Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms and the next spring there were none. I
missed the crocuses, so I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs. But I never did. He
died suddenly one October day. My family were in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith.
On a spring afternoon four years later, I was driving back when I felt depressed. It was
Dad's birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual—my family often
talked about him, remembering how he lived up to his faith. Suddenly I slowed as I turned into
our driveway. I stopped and stared at the lawn. There on the muddy grass with small piles of
melting snow, bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus.
How could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years ago, one that hadn't bloomed in
over a decade? But there was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized its significance.
Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only a day, but
it built my faith for a lifetime.
