备战2012高考，精选阅读200篇，适合高三上学期使用，希望对大家有帮助。（2011-8）

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago，and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are of a tall，handsome，successful man devoted to his work and family，but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him；as a school girl and young adult (成年人) I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon，did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father，who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my_new_friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.
1. Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?

A. He was silent most of the time.
B. He was too proud of himself.
C. He did not love his children.
D. He expected too much of her.
[解析]　细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as ‘successful’as he was. ”可知，作者小时候怀恨爸爸是因为爸爸对她要求很严厉、很苛刻。
[答案]　D
2. When the author went out with her father on weekends, she would feel________.
A. nervous　 B. sorry
C. tired   D. safe
[解析]　推理判断题。根据第二段中“Whenever I went out with him on weekends，I used to struggle to think up things to say，feeling on guard.”可知每次和父亲一起外出度周末，她都非常紧张。on guard为固定短语，意为“警戒”。
[答案]　A
3. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?
A. More critical.
B. More talkative.
C. Gentle and friendly.
D. Strict and hardworking.
[解析]　推理判断题。根据文章第三段和第四段的描述可知，作者的爸爸其实也很温和、友善。从第三段结尾的几个反问句可以知道。第四段中作者感到和爸爸成了朋友。
[答案]　C
4. The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to________.
A. the author’s son
B. the author’s father
C. the friend of the author’s father
D. the café owner
[解析]　推理判断题。文中的new friend指的是作者的爸爸。作者以前一直以为爸爸是个严厉、苛刻的人，和他相处时，总是感到惧怕和紧张，但是在到了Tucson，和爸爸接触之后才看到爸爸友善的一面，所以作者感到她有了一个新朋友。

Celebrity(名人) has become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans used to be crazy about specific film，but now the public tends to base its consumption (消费)on the interest of celebrity attached to any given product. Besides，fashion magazines have almost abandoned the practice of putting models on the cover because they don’t sell nearly as well as famous faces. As a result.celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market potential, moving from advertising for others’products to developing their own.
Celebrity clothing lines aren’t a completely new phenomenon，but in the past they were typically aimed at the ordinary consumers，and limited to a few TV actresses. Today they’re started by firstclass stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top brands. The most successful startups have been those by celebrities with specific personal style. As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market，they expand their production scale rapidly, covering almost all the products of daily life.
However，for every success story, there’s a related warning tale of a celebrity who overvalued his consumer appeal. No matter how famous the product’s origin is, if it fails to impress consumers with its own qualities it begins to resemble an exercise in selfpromotional marketing. And once the initial (最初的) attention dies down, consumer interest might fade, loyalty (忠诚) returning to triedandtrue labels.
Today, celebrities face even more severe embarrassment. The popcultural circle might be bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each_misstep_threatens_to_reduce_a_celebrity’s_shelf_life,_and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears. Still，the ego’s (自我的)potential for expansion is limitless. Having already achieved great wealth and public recognition，many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short time, but fashionlike celebrityhas always been temporary.
1. Fashion magazines today________.
A. seldom put models on the cover
B. no longer put models on the cover
C. need not worry about celebrities’market potential
D. judge the market potential of every celebrity correctly
[解析]　细节理解题。由第一段“fashion magazines have almost abandoned the practice of putting models on the cover”可知答案。
[答案]　A
2. A change in the consumer market can be found today that________.
A. price rather than brand name is more concerned
B. producers prefer models to celebrities for advertisements
C. producers prefer TV actresses to film stars for advertisements
D. quality rather than the outside of products is more concerned
[解析]　推理判断题。文章第三段论述名人如果高估了自己的形象价值而忽视了质量问题，人们还是最终会失去兴趣而信任质量过硬的品牌。
[答案]　D
3. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 indicates that any wrong step will possibly________.
A. decrease the popularity of a celebrity and the sales of his products
B. damage the image of a celebrity in the eyes of the general public
C. cut short the artistic career of a celebrity in show business
D. influence the price of a celebrity’s products
[解析]　推理判断题。联系此句上下文：流行文化圈越来越大，但失败的风险也会越来越大，依靠名人效应的品牌一旦失足，影�
