1．Whydoestheauthordoubthermake-uptimeisspentonalie?A．Becausesheisgoingonanewdiet.B．Becausesheispreten

dingtolooknormal.C．Becauseshetriestolookprettierthansheactuallyis.D．Becauseshehastodealwithherwispyhairandba

ggyeyes.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第一段的“OnehourofpreparationandIlooklikemyself.”以及“darkcircles,trembling,missingpatchesofh

air”等词和倒数第四段中的“Iwanttobenormal.Justfortheselasttwomonths.”等信息可以看出，作者身体状况不好，作者认为她的化妆时间花在谎言上是因为她是假装正常，即想让她自己看起来正常些。2．Theauthordoesn'

teatmuchbreakfastbecause________.A．sheisnothungryinthemorningB．shedoesn'tlikewafflesC．sheisinterriblehealthconditionD．shejustlikesafewbites解析

：选C细节理解题。根据第十段的“Thethoughtofallthatfoodturnsmystomach,butIforceasmileandthankmymotheragain.”及下文信息可知，

作者不多吃早餐是因为她的健康状况很糟糕。3．Whatwillhappenifsheforcesherselftoeatsomefoodforlunch?A．Shewillthrowituplater.B．It

willbuildupherstrength.C．Shewilleventuallymissschool.D．Itwillmakeherworkbetter.解析：选A推理判断题。根据第十六段的“Anythingcon

sumedafter11endsupinaplasticbasinat4：07.”可知，作者如果强迫自己吃午饭，下午就会呕吐。throwup意为“呕吐”，故A项正确。4．Theunderlinedsentence“Ishrugnoncommittally”most

probablymeans“________”．A．theauthorboardswithherMomB．theauthorgivesnoclearanswerC．theauthorhasalreadyconsidereditD．theauthorisindifferentabouttheiss

ue解析：选B句意理解题。根据画线句下一段中的“Sweetheart,youcan'thidethisforever.”可以推测，作者似乎没有考虑过母亲所说的话，故B项正确。5．Theexchangeofgre

etingshasbecomevitalfortheauthorandhermombecause________.A．shewantstobenormalB．theydisagreewitheachotherC．sheisrunningoutoftimeD．th

ereisagenerationgapbetweenthem解析：选C细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Theybridgeallgapsanddisagreements,becausewebothknowthereisnowafinit

enumberleft.”可知，之所以问候在作者和母亲之间变得十分重要，是因为作者在与时间赛跑。6．Whatadjectivescanweusetodescribetheauthor?A．Politebutstupid.B．

Hard-workingandsuccessful.C．Popularbutstubborn.D．Understandingandconsiderate.解析：选D推理判断题。本题可采用排除法，纵观全文可知，文中没有反映出作者的“stupi

d,successful,stubborn”的性格。从她对母亲的态度来看，作者是一个十分宽容和懂得体谅的人，故D项正确。B(2019·南京、盐城模拟)“Withdepressinglyfewexceptions,performancesaredullandlackvitality...Af

lproducetheirbox-officeinfluenceevermore.Why?Itissimple:ouraudienceswillbereadyforballettochangeagain.语篇解读：本文主要是讨论了芭蕾舞到底是消亡了，还是在

进一步的发展的问题。7．WhydoesthewriterciteJenniferHomans'swordsatthebeginningofthepassage?A．Tosupportthewriter'

sviewpoint.B．Tointroducethetopicofthepassage.C．Tohighlightthethemeofthepassage.D．Toprovidethebackgrou

ndknowledge.解析：选B推理判断题。文章在开头引用Jennifer的观点——芭蕾在衰落，是希望引出本文探讨的芭蕾兴衰的话题，起到引入话题的作用。8．Thesentence“Isthisnotballet？”shouldbeputin________.A．①B．②C．③D．④解析：

选B推理判断题。由插入的句子“Isthisnotballet”可知，前文应当是提到一种舞蹈，而②处前讲的就是现在当代编舞者都运用一定的规则将古典融入现代舞蹈中。9．Whichofthefollowingstatementsisafactaboutballet?A．“

Surelyitismoreabstract,filledwithshadesofpopulargrey.”(Para.3)B．“Thelinebetweencontemporarydanceandballetisvague.”(Para

.5)C．“Ourartform'sevolutionhasalwaysbeenwithextinction.”(Para.7)D．“Whatsellsbest,still,arereproductionsofPetipa'sclas

sics.”(Para.8)解析：选D细节理解题。在第八段作者通过种种客观事实举例论证了人们仍然偏爱经典。其余选项虽然是文中所提到的，但都是人们抽象的主观推测，并不是客观的确凿事实。10．AccordingtoMatthewBourne,

________.A．thedanceformsremainunchangedB．contemporarydancehasreinventedclassicballetC．balletisexperiencinggrowthandwillcontinuet

odevelopD．anewformofballetiswidelyacceptedamongAustralians解析：选C细节理解题。根据第五段第二句“BritishchoreographerMatthewBourneacknowledgesthatth

is‘cross-fertilisation’betweencontemporarydanceandballetcontinuestogrow...”可知，马修·伯恩认为当代舞蹈和芭蕾舞之间的“交叉融合”在继续发

展。所以芭蕾舞正在经历一个新的发展阶段，将来还会继续发展。11．ThewritertakeshimselfasanexampleinParagraph8inordertoshow________.A．classicsshouldbeprom

otedB．classicsarestillofgreatsignificanceC．classicalballet'sframeworkisoutofdateD．contemporaryballetsattrac

tmoreaudiences解析：选B推理判断题。第八段中作者说，作为一名舞蹈演员，他最喜欢的角色是阿尔布雷特、齐格弗里德王子和罗密欧，他们来自古典正典。对他来说，古典剧目背后的魅力之一就是再现过去那些伟大人物的辉煌。古典芭蕾舞的框架支持现代的基准制作过程。所以作者描述自己的个人体会是为了说明古

典舞蹈仍然是很重要的。12．Whatmaybetheauthor'sattitudetothechangeofballet?A．Supportive.B．Arbitrary.C．Critical.D．Concerned.解析：选A观点态度题。根据文章内容，特别是“Con

temporaryballetsandmerge-styledballetswillproducetheirbox-officeinfluenceevermore.”可知，现代芭蕾舞和合并风格的芭蕾舞将对他们的票房影响力越来越大。所以作者对于芭蕾

舞与现代舞蹈的融合持积极的态度，是支持的。
