一、英语阅读理解日常生活类（含答案详细解析）
1．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的几个选项中，选出最佳选项。

What subject do you worry about the most at school? Many students worry about math. Some students can't sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very nervous during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful（压力大的）.
"For people who are worried about math, posture （姿势）makes a big difference," Erik Paper from San Francisco State University told the Daily Mail. That's right – sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams.
Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a simple math exam while sitting in a slumped-over （趴倒的）posture, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56 percent of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.
Slumping over is a defensive（戒备的） posture. It can bring about bad memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking clearly, Paper said.
Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam did not necessarily benefit（受益）from better posture. But they did find that doing math while slumped over was more difficult, Science Daily reported.
Good posture isn't just helpful for taking math exams. Sportspeople, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more certain and focus better.

4．阅读下列材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

In the park, you see a group of people, all looking up at the sky. Without thinking about it, you look upwards, too. Why? In the concert, someone begins to clap and suddenly the whole room joins in. You do, too. Why?
Sometimes we feel we are acting correctly when we do the same as others. The more people follow an idea, the better or truer we think the idea is. It's the social proof （社会认同感） that works.
The scientist Asch carried out an experiment. It shows how social proof can influence us. In a room, a man is shown Line 1, and next to it are three lines （A, B, C）. A is longer, C is shorter and B is as long as Line 1. He must tell which of the three lines is as long as Line 1. When the man is alone, he gives the correct answer B. Then, five other men enter the room, and each of them gives the answer C as they were told to. Now the man changes his idea and gives the answer C. Asch got the same result many times among different subjects （实验对象）.
Why do we act like this? Well, in the past, following others was a way to keep from danger. Suppose that 5000 years ago you were hunting （打猎）with friends. Suddenly, they all ran away. What would you have done? Would you have stayed? No, you would have run, too. We are descendants （后代） of those who copied others' action. It is so deeply planted in our mind that we still use it now.
Social proof has special power. The advertising industry, for example, often makes use of it. So be capful whenever a company says its product is "the most popular".
（1）At the beginning of the passage, the writer leads in the topic by ________.
A. telling a story
B. giving examples
C. answering questions
D. showing a map （2）According to Paragraph 3, the experiment by Asch shows ________.
A. following others is always right
B. social proof may change people's ideas
C. it's difficult to carry out the experiment
D. people can study better if they are alone
（3）The underlined word "It" in Paragraph g refers to ________.
A. running with others
B. hunting with friends
C. copying others' action
D. doing something different
（4）According to the passage, we can infer （推断） that ________.
A. it's important to run with others anytime
B. products in the advertisement are the best
C. we mustn't copy others' action to keep safe
D. we need to think twice before following others
【答案】（1）B
（2）B
（3）C
（4）D
【解析】【分析】短文大意：这篇短文通过几个实例说明了社会认知感对人们的影响。

（1）细节理解题。

In the park, you see a group of people, all looking up at the sky. Without thinking about it, you look upwards, too. Why? In the concert, someone begins to clap and suddenly the whole room joins in. You do, too. Why? 可知作者是通过实例说明了一个论点社会认同感的影响。

故选B。

（2）细节理解题。

第三段的实验内容主要讲让人们选择一个正确答案，在一个人单独思考的状况下，可以答对；当一群人一起看问题，并告知他们前面的人选择的一个错误答案，他们就都选择认可前人回答的错误答案，由此可知社会认同感会让人改变观点。

故选B。

（3）词意猜测题。

根据Suppose that 5000 years ago you were hunting （打猎） with friends. Suddenly, they all ran away. What would you have done? Would you have stayed? No, you would have run, too. We are descendants （后代） of those who copied others' action. 这种观念深深种在我们的脑海中并且现在我们仍旧在使用。

可知it指的是人们抄袭他人的行动。

故选C。

（4）推理判断题。

根据So be careful whenever a company says its product is "the most popular". 因此无论何时当一个公司说它的产品是对受欢迎的要小心。

可知当我们在跟从别人之前要再三考虑。

故选D。

【点评】此题考查阅读理解。

先阅读短文，了解短文大意，然后分析问题，弄清题意，再带着问题阅读短文，从短文的细节中找出问题答案。

对于推理判断题要根据文章中相关的细节进行推理判断，不要主观臆断，要根据作者的观点确定。

5．阅读理解
Students in Kenya are returning for their third term. They begin their school year in January and it is broken up into three terms. In Kenya, in the past, students were not required to attend school and the education was not free, either.
I taught math, English and physics at Chamasiri Secondary School while I was a teacher in Kenya. This school had four classrooms ﹣one for each grade, Form 1, Form 2, Form 3 and Form 4. They are the equivalent（对等） to our 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades. Teachers traveled from classroom to classroom instead of the students going from room to room. The Form I class had 60 students, Form 2 had 45, Form 3 had 30, and Form 4 about 12 students. The class sizes became smaller as the grades continued on. Why did this happn? Many families were very poor and could not afford the school fees（学费）.
Most countryside schools in Kenya did not have a lot of money. As a result, there were very few textbooks for the students to use. I had seven math texts for my Form 2 class and 14 for the Form I class. Anything the students needed to know was put up on the blackboard and the students copied it down into their notebooks. The notebooks became the students' textbooks.
Kenyan students study ten different subject areas. Some of the students spend over an hour running home. They do chores at home and hopefully manage to find some time to study before it gets dark. Most families do not have electricity and may not even have candies for their children to study by.
Luckily, Kenyan education has been becoming better and better in the past few years. I'm sure it will have a good future.
（1）Which grade does Form 3 refer to（指的是） in the writer's country？
A. Grade 9.
B. Grade 10.
C. Grade 11.
D. Grade 12.
（2）Why did the notebooks become the students' textbooks？
A. The students did not pay the schools.
B. The schools couldn't afford the textbooks.
C. The students preferred to use their notebook.
D. The teachers asked the students to take notes.
（3）Why do some students run home from school？
A. They aren't allowed to stay at school.
B. They don't like studying in the school.
C. They hope to have more time to study.
D. They want to get candles in the stores.
（4）According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE？
A. In Kenya, a school year has three terms.
B. The Form I class had the most students.
C. Each family has electricity in Kenya.
D. Kenyan education has been improving.
【答案】（1）C
（2）B

（4）细节理解题。

题目问以下哪一个选项是不对的，根据Most families do not have electricity and may not even have candies for their children to study by.可知，大多家庭没有电，甚至没有蜡烛供孩子们学习用。

C选项意为肯尼亚的每个家庭都有电，与原文不符，故选C。
