高二英语阅读理解及其解题技巧及练习题(含答案)及解析
一、高中英语阅读理解
1．阅读理解
If conditions get bad enough, almost any kind of weather can become a storm.
Stormy weather can cause people to cancel their plans. It can cause major events to be postponed. And severe stormy weather can be dangerous to people, fortune and anima1.
If you weather the storm, or ride out the storm, you survive and move on without harm or injury. For example, 1et's talk about Tornado Alley, the name for part of the central United States. During springtime, this area often has a large number of powerful tornadoes. People who live there are taught to shelter in the safest place they can find and wait for the storm to pass. People who live in Tornado Alley are used to weathering many storms!
You can also we ather a storm, but it doesn't involve actual weather. “To weather the storm” can also mean to make it through a difficult experience or trying times. So, if the stock market(股市)crashes, you might have to weather a financial storm.
Often before a big storm, conditions are calm. The calm before the storm can happen anytime. It is the time before something bad happens. For example, at the beginning of a family reunion, the adults were all talking happily. But the older children knew it was just the calm before the storm. They've seen it happen before. The adults talk happily for about an hour. Then they start arguing about events from the past—things that should really stay buried!
But after the storm begins and you find yourself in the middle of it, you are in the eye of the storm. In the world of weather, the eye of the storm is the calmest part, in the center of a hurricane, for example. However, in the English language, if you are in the eye of the storm, you are in the most intense part of a conflict. For example, she had no idea that walking into the meeting would put her in the eye of the storm.
However, a brainstorm does not exist in the world of weather. To brainstorm means to try to solve a problem by talking with other people. And don't worry. If we have trouble thinking of an idea for the next program, we can always brainstorm with you!
（1）What's mainly discussed in the 3rd and 4th paragraphs?
A. What the meanings of weathering the storm are.
B. How we can weather the storm.

（3）What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. A problem can't be solved if you worry too much.
B. A brainstorm often appears in the world of weather.
C. Difficulties can be dealt with by teamwork.
D. To brainstorm can cause troubles in the program.
（4）What's the author's purpose in writing the text?
A. To tell us stormy weather can cause destruction.
B. To tell us some expressions about storm.
C. To tell us a storm can cause conflicts.
D. To tell us we should be ready for a storm.

3．阅读理解
When I was three years old, I couldn't speak. It was a strange reality that none of the doctors I visited could understand.
One day, I was shadowing(跟随)my mother. She found herself looking in a mirror, and through it our eyes met. She began to speak to me through the reflection, and I slowly began to mimic(模仿)her mouth's movements until I formed a word.
It turned out I'm deaf in my left ear, and have a slight problem in my right. Being hard of hearing has been difficult, but I've never lived in a state of self-hating sorrow.
Imagine being able to shut out all sound as you lay your head down to sleep by simply rolling over onto one side. That's my reality when I sleep on my "good ear", and it makes me feel like a superhero sometimes.
People call my deaf side my "bad ear", but when I wear my hearing aid, I have access to a range of features that some other deaf people don't. In cinemas, for example, with one click of a button I can enjoy a whole film as though it were whispered to me from the mouths of the actors.
Owning a hearing aid hasn't always felt good, however. On the first day I got my aid, when I was eight, I took it to school for show-and-tell. As I explained how it worked to my classmates, a boy yelled out, "Aren't those for old men?" At that moment, I felt different. It took me a long time to get over that sense of being so unlike my peers.
But it's not just school kids who can make us deaf and hard-of-hearing people feel like burdens. Every video on social media that lacks subtitles(字幕), for example, means an entire community of deaf people is unable to enjoy it. Completely deaf people are excluded from enjoying many movies too, as subtitles in cinemas are almost impossible to find.
And with hearing aids costing around $2,500 each, it can be hard for many people to afford to be able to listen to the things that others take for granted. As for me, I can listen to music, enjoy films, and catch conversations –I'm lucky. I'm deaf, but I can still hear everything. I've been blessed with wonderful life experiences, and I am human. And when it comes to sleeping, I'm even superhuman.
（1）How does the author view his hearing difficulty?
A.It's a disaster and causes him a lot of trouble.
B.It gave him a chance to experience something special.
C.It made him feel embarrassed in front of his classmates.
D.It helped him to live in his own world without being interrupted.
（2）What can be inferred from the passage about the author?
A.He was born deaf.
B.He is optimistic and helpful.
C.The hearing aid brings convenience to his daily life.
D.His family and classmates have supported him a lot.
（3）What is the author's attitude toward his life？
A.Excited.
B.Anxious.
C.Grateful.
D.Disappointed.
（4）What is the author's main purpose in writing the article?
A.To give advice on life to disabled people.
B.To show how difficult life is for disabled people.
C.To show the convenience a hearing aid could bring.
D.To share his experience of treating a disadvantage with gratitude.
【答案】（1）B
（2）C
（3）C

4．阅读理解
Recent summer temperatures in parts of Australia were high enough to melt asphalt. As global warming speeds up the heat and climatic events increase, many plants may be unable to cope. But at least one species of eucalyptus tree can resist extreme heat by continuing to “sweat” when other essential processes stop, a new study finds.
As plants change sunlight into food, or photosynthesize (光合作用), they absorb carbon dioxide through pores on their leaves. These pores also release water via transpiration(蒸腾), which circulates nutrients through the plant and helps cool it by evaporation(蒸发). But exceptionally high temperatures are known to greatly reduce photosynthesis—and most existing plant models suggest this should also decrease transpiration, leaving trees in danger of fatally overheating. Because it is difficult for scientists to control and vary trees' conditions in their natural environment, little is known about how individual species handle this situation. Ecologist John Drake of the S.U.N.Y. College of Environmental Science and Forestry and his colleagues grew a dozen Parramatta red gum (Eucalyptus parramattensis) trees in large, climate-controlled plastic pods that separated the trees from the surrounding forest for a year in Richmond, Australia. Six of the trees were grown at surrounding air temperatures and six at temperatures three degrees Celsius higher. The researchers withheld (扣留) water from the surface soil of all 12 trees for a month to imitate a mild dry spell, then induced a four-day “extreme” heat wave: They raised the maximum temperatures in half of the pods（three with surrounding temperatures and three of the warmer ones）— to 44 degrees ℃. Photosynthesis ground to a near halt in the trees facing the artificial heat wave. But to the researchers' surprise, these trees continued to transpire at close-to-normal levels, effectively cooling themselves and their surroundings. The trees grown in warmer conditions coped just as well as the others, and photosynthesis rates bounced back to normal after the heat wave passed, Drake and his colleagues reported online in Global Change Biology.
The researchers think the Parramatta red gums were able to effectively sweat — even without photosynthesis — because they are particularly good at tapping into water deep in the soil. But if a heat wave and a severe drought (干旱) were to hit at the same time and the groundwater was exhausted, the trees may not be so lucky, Drake says.
Other scientists call the finding encouraging. “It's definitely good news,” says Trevor Keenan, an ecologist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, who was not part of the study. “It would be very interesting to know how this translates to other species,” he adds. Drake hopes to conduct similar experiments with trees common in North America.
（1）How does one species of eucalyptus tree cope with extreme heat waves?
A. By releasing water.
B. By blocking sunlight.
C. By absorbing groundwater.
D. By reducing photosynthesis.
（2）What did the researchers do during their study?
A. They grew all the trees in artificial temperatures.
B. They induced a heat wave in a dozen pods of trees.
C. They created climate-controlled surroundings for trees.
D. They varied trees' conditions in their natural environment.
（3）The underlined phrase “ground to a near halt” in Paragraph 4 means “________”.
A. continued
B. substituted
C. strengthened
D. ceased
（4）What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Photosynthesis is necessary for the trees to sweat.
B. No further experiments will be done other species.
C. Other species will be transplanted to North America.
D. Groundwater helps the trees survive the extreme heat.
【答案】（1）A
（2）C
（3）D
（4）D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，联合国环境科学与林业学院的生态学家John Drake 和他的同事们通过对红桉树做实验，得出结论：在极度的高温中，红桉树仍然可以通过释放水分来抵抗热浪，获得生存。

(1)考查细节理解。

根据第一段中的“But at least one species of eucalyptus tree can resist extreme heat by continuing to 'sweat’”可知，桉树通过“流汗”，即释放水分来抵抗极度的热，故选A。

(2)考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的“Ecologist John Drake… and his colleagues grew a dozen Parramatta red gum … trees in large, climate-controlled plastic pods that separated the trees from the surrounding forest for a year in Richmond, Australia.”可知，研究者们将12棵红桉树种植在巨大的，气候受控制的塑料舱里，这种塑料仓将这些树和周围的森林分离开来。

可知，研究者们为这些树创造了一个气候受控制的生长环境，故选C。

(3)考查词义猜测。

根据第二段中的“But exceptionally high temperatures are known to greatly reduce photosynthesis”可知，极度的高温会减少光合作用。

由第四段后面的内容可知，令研究者们惊讶的是，面对着人工制造出来的热浪，这些树继续以接近正常的水平蒸发，有效地使自己和周围的环境凉爽下来。

结合这两点可以推知，面对人工制造出来的热浪，光合作用应该是大大减少，但这并没有影响树木的蒸发。

划线部分意思应当接近于“大大减少，降低”这一类的意思cease意为“停止”，故选D。

(4)考查推理判断。

根据倒数第二段中的“The researchers think the Parramatta red gums were able to effectively sweat — even without photosynthesis — because they are particularly good at tapping into water deep in the soil. But if a heat wave and a severe drought （干旱）were to hit at the same time and the groundwater was exhausted, the trees may not be so lucky, Drake says.”可知，这些树擅长吸取地下水，如果热浪干旱同时发生，地下水枯竭的话，那么这些树生存的可能性就比较小了。

由此可以推知，地下水帮助这些树存活下来。

故选D。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇科普类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。

5．阅读理解
Truman headed home from school, with the homework in mind, a report on beehives (蜂巢).
Truman's class had studied bees for three days, so he was ready. But, as his teacher Mrs. Lawrence had explained, to earn an A +，he needed a “new angle”.
Truman pushed open the front door to find his four-year-old brother, Bryan, sitting on the living room rag, hard at work. Paper towel tubes were all over the floor.
Bryan quickly stood up. “Truman, help me build a city!”
“I'd like to,” Truman replied, “but I have to do a report on beehives and ...”
“Can I help you?” Bryan begged.
“I d on't think so, Bry. Sorry.''
“I know where there's a beehive.” Bryan smiled.
“Where?”
“In the wood pile by the garage.''
The boys marched to the firewood. Bending down, Bryan pointed out the hive deep inside the pile. Truman carefully removed the hive out.
“You got it!” Bryan shouted.
Back in the living room, Truman paced around, turning the fragile hive under his nose. Each cell was a perfect hexagon(六边形). How did the bees fit the cells together so neatly? And how did they make each cell six-sided? Could they count? Lost in thought, his foot came down on something ...
“Truman! You're mining my city!”
“Get your stupid tubes out of here，Bryan! I'm trying to…”
The towel tubes on the floor suddenly reminded him of something. The beehive!
Looking closer, he noticed the tubes were arranged with one in the middle, surrounded by six others, just like the cells of the hive.
Just to be sure, he tried five and then seven tubes surrounding the center tubes, but neither way fit. Six was the only number that worked.
“Bees don't count to six,” he said aloud. “The cells have to be six-sided.
Truman ran to Bryan and threw his arms around his brother. Bryan, you did it! Now I can build a model beehive with your tubes! I mean —if it's O. K. with you.”
（1）Where did Truman find the beehive?
A. In Bryan's city.
B. Inside the garage.
C. In the living room.
D. Inside the wood pile.（2）What do we know about the beehive?
A. It was hidden by Bryan.
B. It was easy to break.
C. It was ruined by Truman.
D. It was a perfect hexagon.

6．阅读理解
Taxi-booking app Uber agreed to sell its business in China to Didi Chuxing. The two firms had been fierce competitors, but Didi Chuxing had controlled the Chinese market with an 87% share. Uber China launched in 2014, but it had failed to make any profit for a long time. Cheng Wei, founder and chief executive of Didi Chuxing, said the two companies had learned a great deal from each other over the past two years in China. He added that the deal would set the mobile transportation industry on a healthier path of growth at a higher level. As part of the deal, Mr. Cheng would join the board of Uber, while Uber chief executive Travis Kalanick would also join Didi's board.
Uber's China business would own its separate branding while US-based Uber Technologies would hold about 17.5% in the combined company. Didi Chuxing is backed by Chinese Internet giants Tencent and Alibaba.
Uber had been struggling to break into the Chinese market despite having Chinese search engine Baidu as an investor. Last February, the company admitted it was losing more than $1 billion a year in China. “Funding their Chinese dreams was becoming too expensive for Uber,” Duncan Clark, chairman of Beijing-based consultancy BDA, told the BBC. Travis Kalanick said, “As a businessman, I've learned that being successful is about listening to your head as well as following your heart.”
The fierce competition had led both companies to spend much more on their journeys. The combination is likely to see fewer such subsidies（补贴）. “One thing to watch carefully is how quickly consumers feel the impact as subsidies are withdrawn.” Mr. Clark added.
The deal with Didi Chuxing came just days after China had agreed to provide a legal framework for taxi-ordering apps. Both Uber and Didi welcomed the decision. The new rules took effect last November and could, among other things, forbid such platforms to operate below cost.
（1）According to the second paragraph, what can we know?
A. Being successful is about listening to your head and following your heart.
B. The deal would make the mobile transportation industry grow much faster.
C. Didi Chuxing had learnt more in China than Uber over the past two years.
D. Mr. Cheng
would be working as a member of the board of Uber as planned.
（2）What is the best title of the passage?
A. Uber sold Chinese business to Didi Chuxing
B. Using Didi Chuxing brings more subsidies
C. Listen to your head and follow your heart
D. The new rules took effect last November （3）What is the impact of the fierce competition between Uber and Didi?
A. Uber dominated the Chinese market with an 87% share.
B. China provided a legal framework for taxi-ordering apps.
C. Funding their Chinese dreams became expensive for Uber.
D. Chinese search engine Baidu became an investor of Uber's.
（4）The passage is probably taken from a website about ________.
A. apps
B. politics
C. economy
D. technology
