2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习 阅读理解九月选练（1）
阅读下列短文，从每题所 给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项并在答题卡上将该
项涂黑。
Every time Lionel Messi breaks a record, it seems appropriate to pare him to the legends
that came before him.
In xx, he rewrote soccer history on multiple occasions, and his latest record came
when he scored his 86th goal of the calendar year, breaking Gerd Muller’s previous
mark, before wrapping up the year with 91 goals.
All statistics indicate that Messi is currently the best player in the world, and
that he will go down in history as the top footballer of his generation. But when
he is judged against all-time greats like Pele and Diego Maradona, he still has work
to do.
We don’t know whether the Barcelona striker will have another year in which he records
more than 90 goals, but he must still sustain(维持)a similar level of production for
the next several seasons.
Messi has already taken part in three of Barcelona’s victorious Champions League(冠
军联赛)campaigns, and he played an important role in two of them. In order to firmly
establish himself as the greatest club football player in history, he must win the
tournament a few more times.
Most importantly, the Argentine(阿根廷人)needs to win on the international stage.
Regardless of what Messi does for Barcelona, his legacy will be inplete if he cannot
win the World Cup with Argentina.
Both Pele and Maradona led their countries to the top of international soccer during
their careers, and Messi’s performances for his country have been severely
disappointing.
While he was still a teenager in xx-and his lackluster(平淡的)showing is excusable
due to his youth-he cannot brush off the disappointment that characterized
Argentina’s performance in xx.
But the 4-0 loss to Germany in the xx World Cup Quarter Final seems to have sparked
Messi. He scored 12 times for Argentina last year, and the next World Cup could finally
be Messi’s breakout performance in blue and white stripes.
Due to all of his acplishments, it is easy to forget that the extraordinary footballer
is just 25 years old. If he can avoid injury or lengthy slumps(低潮状态)until his
speed and skills start to decline due to age, he may continue to break records and
win trophies.
21. What will Messi have to do in order to be plete in his soccer career?
A. He must win the World Cup with Argentina.
B. He must win the tournament a few more times.
C. He must defeat Pele and Maradona.
D. He must avoid injury or lengthy slumps.
22. How was Messi’s performance in xx World Cup?
A. Excellent. B. Inspiring. C. Disappointing. D. Normal.
23. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Messi has firmly established himself as the greatest club soccer player in history.
B. Messi will try his best to win the next World Cup with Argentina.
C. Messi can avoid injury and lengthy slumps to break records and win trophies.
D. Pele and Maradona led their countries to the top of international soccer during
their careers.
24. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Lionel Messi, the Best Soccer Player of All Time
B. Lionel Messi, the Greatest Soccer Player in History
C. Barcelona and Lionel Messi
D. World Cup and Lionel Messi
参考答案21-24. ACBA



B
Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost
of acmodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle
Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton edy Festival (19 Oct.) cost ￡169.15
at Booking. A week later, the same room cost ￡118.15.
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you're looking for a big
event to pass your time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen, which allow you to search
for events in the UK by city, date and category.
STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want
to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the
sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.
Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance,
the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22
September was ￡95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel
was ￡75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just ￡62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and
Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an
alternative consider checking into a self－catering flat with its own kitchen. Often
these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example
is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, available for ￡420 for five
days in late September, with room for four adults.
GET ON A BIKE London's “Boris bikes” have attracted the most attention, but other
cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your
own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.
Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay
around ￡1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or ￡5 per day)．
25. The Brighton edy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________．
A. help travelers pass time
B. attract lots of travelers to the UK
C. allow travelers to make flexible plans
D. cause travelers to pay more for acmodation
26．“Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably ________．
A. a hotel away from the train station
B. the tube line to Covent Garden
C. an ideal holiday destination
D. the name of a travel agency
27．The passage shows that the O'Neill Flat ________．
A. lies on the ground floor
