海淀区2015高考英语阅读理解训练（11）（答案）
【2015高考复习】阅读理解
Once when I was six years old，I saw an amazing picture in a book called True Stories from Nature about the primeval forest.It was a picture of a boa constrictor(大蟒蛇) in the act of swallowing an animal.In the book it said：“Boa constrictors swallow their prey wholly without chewing it.After that they are not able to move and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion.”
I thought deeply then over the adventures of the jungle.And after some work with
a colored pencil，I succeeded in making my first drawing，my Drawing Number One.I showed my work to the grown-ups and asked them whether the drawing frightened them.But they answered: “Frighten? Why should anyone be frightened by a hat？”
My drawing was not a picture of a hat.It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant.But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it，I made another drawing.I drew the inside of the boa constrictor so that the grown-ups could e it clearly.They always need to have things explained.That's my Drawing Number Two.
The grown-ups' respon this time was to advi me to lay aside my drawings of boa constrictors whether from the inside or the outside and devote mylf instead to geography，history，arithmetic and grammar.That is why at the age of six I gave up the dream that I might have been a great painter.I had been disheartened by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two.Grown-ups never understand anything by themlves and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
So then I cho another profession and learned to pilot airplanes.I have flown a little over all parts of the world，and it is true that geography has been very uful to me.At a glance，I can distinguish China from Ar izona.If one gets lost in the night，such knowledge is valuable.
In the cour of this life，I have had lots of chances to meet with a great many people.And that hasn't much improved my opinion of them.Whenever I met one of them who emed to me at all cl ear-sighted，I tried showing him my Drawing Number One which I have always kept.I would try to find out if this was a person of true understanding.But whoever it was，he or she would always say: That is a hat.Then I would never talk to that person about boa constrictors or primeval forests or stars.I would bring mylf down to his level.I would talk to him about bridge，golf，politics
and neckties.And the grown-up would be greatly plead to have met such an intelligent man.
