科目:高中英语 来源:2012届湖北省孝感市高三第一次统考英语卷 题型:阅读理解

Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life.He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think.One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week.From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.
He says our relation with others often become clearly defined when money enters the picture.You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends.But you’ll know him only when you ask to lend you some money.If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stranger than ever before.Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t.This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.
Since money is important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important.The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.
Answer: The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect.I’m nothing.I don’t know much.All I am is rich.
People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In this book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society; to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end.Money plays an important role in the modern world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.
【小题1】According to the first paragraph, people haven’t realized __________.

A.how important money is in their day-to-day life
B.how one spends money shows what is important to him
C.that money is more important than their philosophy of life
D.that their understanding of life is more important than money
【小题2】What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview is that         .
A.he does not feel that he is well -educated
B.he does not consider himself to be very successful
C.he does not think that he is a very important person
D.he does not think being rich deserves so much attention
【小题3】What does the American professor of philosophy want to explain in his book?
A.Money is a means.B.Money is everything.
C.Money is an end.D.Money is unimportant.
【小题4】Which of the following might the author disagree?
A.Money is important in modern society.

Visitors to Britain may find the best place to sample local culture is in a traditional pub.But these friendly pubs can be dangerous places of potential gaffes(失礼)for the newcomers.
A team of researchers have discovered some of the unknown customs of British pubs - starting with the difficulty of getting a drink.Most pubs have no waiters - you have to go to the bar to buy drinks.A group of Italian youths waiting 45 minutes before they realized they would have to fetch their own.This may sound inconvenient, but there is a hidden purpose.
Pub culture is designed to promote sociability(社交)in a society known for its reserve.Standing at the bar for service allows you to chat with others waiting to be served.The bar counter is possibly the only site in the British Isles in which friendly conversation with strangers is considered entirely suitable and really quite normal behavior.“If you haven’t been to a pub, you haven’t been to Britain.” This tip can be found in a booklet, Passport to the Pub: The Tourists’ Guide to Pub Etiquette, a customers’ rule of conduct for those wanting to sample “a central part of British life and culture”.
The trouble is that if you do not follow the local rules, the experience may fall flat.For example, if you are in a big group, it is best if only one or two people go to buy the drinks.Nothing annoys the regular customers and bar staff more than a group of strangers blocking all access to the bar while they chat and hesitate about what to order.
【小题1】The underlined word “sample” in the first paragraph probably means “________”.

A.tasteB.experience
C.testD.record
【小题2】The culture of pub in Britain is so developed to ________.
A.encourage people to communicate with each other
B.encourage more people to consume drinks
C.attract more tourists to the pubs
D.form its own character of culture
【小题3】If you don’t follow the local rules in a pub, ________.
A.you won’t buy good local drinks
B.you may annoy the regular customers and bar staff
C.you may fail to feel the local culture
D.you might get into a dangerous place
【小题4】What may be the best title for the passage?
A.Self-service Pubs in Britain
B.British Local Pubs: Special Chat Places
C.Local Pub Culture in Britain
D.Manners in British Local Pubs
