2013高考英语二轮（文章题）训练（45）及答案
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Over the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal – or at least many parts of it have. 71 . Ideas about social class – whether a person is “working - class” or “middle - class” – are one area in which changes have been extremely slow.
In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was widely believed, having given his wife her "housekeeping", would go out and squander the rest on beer and betting.
The old style of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was-and still is - inclined to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house as a most important thing, but he also considered the education of his children as extremely important. 72 . Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity （or the education and training） to make such long-term plans.
73 . In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much as their middle – class supervisors (管理者). Social security and laws to improve century, have made it less necessary than before to worry about "tomorrow". Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority(自卑感). In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.
74 .They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes, they spend their money in having a good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in precious generations. 75 . As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge, or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between different groups.
A．Nowadays, a great deal has changed
B．Both of these provided him and his family with security
C．As a result, differences in life – styles and attitudes came into existence
D．However, we still have a wide gap between the well – paid and the low - paid
E．In recent years, the working – class people have begun to design long – term plans
F．In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concerned
G．The changes in both life – styles and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people
参考答案 71. F 72. B 73. A 74. G 75. D

二、One possible version:
As we can see in the picture, two workers are working very hard building the railroad. When their boss comes, he is shocked to find that their tracks have failed to meet the set of tracks coming from the opposite direction.
Keep your goals n mind and constantly compare what you are doing with your goals. That’s what I’d like to say to the men. It is easy to get lost in the details of our lives, forgetting about the way we are heading, just like the two workers buried in their present task. If they keep on working like this, they will never achieve their goals.
Make sure you are on the right track towards your goals, and you will see growth each time you make an effort.

I listened carefully but I __13__ her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly __14_ seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked __15 _. It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father __16__ on the country road．
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.

爱就是鲜花、礼物和甜蜜的亲吻吗？作者通过亲身经历，终于明白，爱不是表面上的浪漫的亲吻，而是内在的情感。虽不能随时随地看到它，但是它却实实在在地存在着，使生活变得坚固而温暖。
1．C 由in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me可知是为了挣钱。
2．B 他们从未像我在书中读到，或在电视中看到的那样浪漫。
3．D 从上下得知，说出“我爱你”是太难了，而不是太简单、容易、轻松。
4．A out of the question是个固定短语，意为“亳无可能”；out of question“有可能”；out of reach （伸手）够不着；out of control 失控。
5．B 根据上下文，此处指“你和爸爸之间有没有爱情啊”。
6．D 因在缝被子，母亲低下头。
7．A 我担心伤害了她。伤害感情用“hurt”。
8．B 我非常尴尬。
9．C 由下文的“disappear”得知此处是“appear”。句意为“苏珊，看看这些线。有时候，你能看得见，但是大多数都隐藏在被子里。”
10．D 这些线使被子坚固耐用。
11．B 你不可能随时随地看到它，但是它却实实在在地存在着。
12．A 由上句推出：爱是内在的。
13．B 由下文until可知此处用否定式。以构成not … until…的句式。句意为：我仔细地听着，却无法明白她的话，直到来年的春天。
14．A 由My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.可知父亲突然得重病。get stuck困住；throw up呕吐；become disabled残疾。
15．B 此处指“脸色，气色”。句意为：当他们从医院回来的时候，都显得非常苍白。
16．D （为了使父亲身体康复），他们回来之后，每天的清晨或黄昏，母亲都会搀扶着父亲在乡村的小路上漫步。
17．C 从上文Dad, how are you feeling now可知，此处有“担心”之意。
18．A 英语中“看得出”习惯上不用see。句意为：从他的眼神里，我看得出他对母亲的爱之深刻。
19．C 四个选项中A、B、D与前面提到的“鲜花、礼物”同类，只有C项不同类。句意为：我曾经认为爱情就是鲜花、礼物和甜蜜的亲吻。
20．A 由全文可知，但是从那一刻起，我明白了，爱情就像是生活中被子里的一根线。
