2014高考英语阅读理解精品练习(5)及答案（解析）
C7 ［2013·广东卷］ A
Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear。Children know this very well。 Fred Epstein,in his book If I Make It to Five，tells a story he heard from one of his friends about Tom，a four－year－old boy with a cancer in his back bone。He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination。
Tom loved to pretend，and he particularly loved to play superheroes。 Dr。 Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.
The day before his third trip to the operating room，Tom was terribly afraid.“Maybe I could go as Superman，”he whispered to his mom。Hearing this， the mother hesitated for a while。She had avoided buying the expensive costume（戏装)，but finally she agreed。
The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman，showing off through the hospital hal
ls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way.And Tom，with the strength of his fantasy,successfully made it through the operation.
The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only.We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible，to go through those things that seem impossible，and to achieve what we never believed we could。 Just as Dr.Epstein puts it,“If you can dream it，you can do it."
It doesn’t mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview.But，next time you are tested in a way that seems impossible， imagine what it would take to overcome it.Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first.So，let your imagination run wild，and dare to dream.

A．He was seriously ill。

26．A 细节理解题.由第一段的“Tom，a four－year－old boy with a cancer in his back bone。He came through several operations…”可知，Tom 病得很厉害。
27．D 推理判断题。由第四段的“And Tom， with the strength of his fantasy，successfully made it through the operation。”可以看出，Tom的妈妈答应儿子的要求，就是想帮儿子减少手术的痛苦感。其他选项可以这样排除：由第三段的“She had avoided buying the expensive costume（戏装），but finally she agreed。”可以看出A和B错误；C项可以由常识排除.
28．B 细节理解题。由第四段的“The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way.”可知当时他的行为和超人一样。故选B。
29．C 推理判断题。这是对前面所讲述的故事的升华，故事中小Tom用自己的想象力战胜了
痛苦,作者在这里也建议我们面对困难时要“need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first.”还要“let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream。”由此可见，C项符合题意。
30．D 写作目的题。文章开篇点题：Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear。告诉我们想象力的重要性,然后通过一个具体的例子加以论证。最后一段中作者又鼓励我们在挑战和困难面前使用想象力，使自己内心强大起来，故选D。
(2011·成都三诊,E)
Every social experience that we have affects us in at least some small ways. In modern industrial and post industrial societies, however, there are four familiar influences that have special significance in the socialization process. They are the family, schooling， peer groups and the mass media.
The family is the most important agent of socialization because it represents the center of c
hildren’s lives. Babies are almost totally dependent on others, and the responsibilities of meeting their needs almost always fall on parents and other family members. At least until the start of schooling， the family is responsible for teaching children cultural values and attitudes towards themselves and others.
