最新高二英语阅读理解(人生百味)各地方试卷集合汇编及解析
一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类
1．阅读理解
Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you'll have no trouble answering these questions.
Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child's day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的) to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.
The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they'd felt cold water at first.
Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.
The pressures of "time" and "destination"（目的地）are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what's around them. I asked them what they'd seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.
Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations(感觉）. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.
（1）What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?
A.To avoid jumping to conclusions.
B.To stop complaining all the time.
C.To follow the teacher's advice.
D.To admit mistakes honestly.
（2）The bird watchers' behavior shows that they __________.
A.are very patient in their observation
B.are really fascinated by nature
C.care only about the names of birds
D.question the accuracy of the field guides
（3）Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?
A.The natural beauty isn't attractive to them.
B.They focus on arriving at the camp in time.
C.The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.
D.They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.
（4）In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should __________.
e our senses to feel the wonders of the world
B.get rid of some bad habits in our daily life
C.open our mind to new things and ideas
D.try our best to protect nature
【答案】（1）A
（2）C
（3）B
（4）A
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

作者希望我们能够运用我们的感官和情感去全方位感受自然的美妙，去感受世界的美好。

（1）考查推理判断。

根据第三段中的“ The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicti ng what we are going to see and feel before it occurs.”唤醒感官的第一步是在它发生之前停止预测我们将要看到和感觉到的东西。

故选A。

（2）考查细节理解。

根据第四段中的“ I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a ‘ruby-crowned kinglet’ and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.”我看见观鸟者发现了一只鸟，立刻在田野向导里看了看，说：“一只红宝石王冠的小王”并结束了。

他们不再注意这只鸟，也不观察它在干什么。

可知，这些观鸟者只是匆匆记下这些鸟的名字，而没有观察它们在做什么。

故选C。

（3）考查细节理解。

根据第五段中的“I encountered many hikers who were heade d to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what's around them.”可知，徒步旅行者只关心能够及时到达目的地，而很少关心周围的事物。

故选 B。

（4）考查主旨大意。

根据最后一段中的“ Nature seems to unfold to people w ho watch and wait. Next time you take a walk，no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations.”可知，作者希望我们能够运用我们的感官和情感去全方位感受自然的美妙，去感受世界。

故选A。

2．阅读理解
I grew up in a home with a mother who believes that vaccines (疫苗) cause brain damage, and do not contribute to the health and safety of a society. The only shot I received was for tetanus
(破伤风) when I was two months old. After that, nothing.
At the beginning of each school year, I was very nervous. Delayed term paper? Mischievous (捣
蛋的) behavior? Late for school? None of them. I'd be pulled out of class and brought to the headmaster's office. The school doctor would tell me I hadn't received any of the necessary shots
to attend school. But the same thing occurred each time: my mom would free me from the shots
and nothing would happen.
After doing a lot of research, I found although people who don't vaccinate their children make
up only a relatively small group, they can cause major consequences. People who, for health or
age reasons, cannot receive vaccines are at a higher risk of catching a preventable disease.
Eventually, I turned 18. In Ohio, where I live, I had to wait until I became a legal adult to make
the decision to receive vaccine shots. A huge factor in taking the step to ensure my health was
the message board website Reddit. Last November, I asked Reddit users for advice about what vaccines to ask for and how to go about getting them from a doctor. After my post received more than 1,000 comments, I made an appointment with my family physician. Despite how strongly my mother felt, I went through with it anyway.
I did something every person should do. It wasn't special in any way. Vaccines protect the health and safety of not only yourself but also other people. Vaccination is important because someone could die if you don't get vaccinated. This was the biggest reason I got vaccines despite
the opposition.
（1）Why was the author called to the headmaster's office at the beginning of each school year?
A. He was late for school.
B. He didn't behave himself at school.
C. He couldn't hand in his term paper on time.
D. He was hardly ever vaccinated.
（2）How might the author's mother have felt about his appointment with the family physician?
A. Annoyed.
B. Grateful.
C. Thrilled.
D. Guilty.
（3）What does the author mainly want to tell us through his story?
A.Listening to your mother pays off.
B.Doing the right thing matters.
C.Keeping fit is the best policy.
D.Asking for advice helps.
【答案】（1）D
（2）A
（3）B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者通过自己接种疫苗的经历告诉读者：疫苗
不仅保护你自己，而且保护其他人的健康和安全。

接种疫苗很重要，因为如果你不接种，
有人可能会死。

这也是作者不顾反对接种疫苗的最大原因。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的“The school doctor would tell me I hadn't received any
of the necessary shots to attend school.”可知，学校的医生会告诉我，我没有接受过任何必要
的上学必须要进行的接种。

因此推知，学期初作者被叫到校长办公室是因为他几乎从来没
有接种过疫苗。

故选D。

（2）考查推理判断。

根据倒数第二段中的“Despite how strongly my mother felt, I went through with it anyway.”不管我妈妈强烈反对，我还是坚持了下来)可知，妈妈对于作者与家
庭医生的约会感动恼怒。

故选A。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据最后一段中的“I did something every person should do.”我做了每个人都应该做的事情；以及下文“Vacci nes protect the health and safety of not only yourself but also other people. Vaccination is important because someone could die if you don't get vaccinated.”疫苗不仅保护你自己，而且保护其他人的健康和安全。

接种疫苗很重要，因为如果你不接种，有人可能会死，可推断，作者通过他的经历告诉我们做正确的事情，对己对人都有好处。

故选B。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇人生感悟类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。

3．阅读短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

For the past two years I have been travelling and living abroad. Home has become more of a feeling than a place. I feel at home when I am with my family in London, but I also feel at home in Italy with friends I love. Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows. It is more complicated than that.
This is one of the reasons that celebrating the new year has become very important for me. I do not care about "New Year's resolutions (愿望)"—living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I don't feel the need to plan for change: I live for change.
New Year's Eve has become my time to reconnect with the friends that makes me feel at home. Every year we try to reunite wherever we are and remember the time when we knew each other so well that we felt like a family. It is a moment to reconnect and get to know each other again. Last year, we travelled to a cottage in Ireland where we had no internet and no neighbours. In the middle of the countryside, away from our big and constantly changing lives, we were able to become like a little family again.
This year, we went to Barcelona. It was a very big change. We were surrounded by culture and life and joy. There were bars and parties. It was different, but one thing stayed very much the same-I felt at home again and we felt like a family again.
A lot of people feel that New Year's Eve cannot live up to expectations. Ideas such as the "New Year's kiss" and "resolutions" create a lot of pressure for people to have a night to remember, a night that will change their lives and perhaps make the next year one worth living. I think those people are missing the point. If Christmas is about family, why can't New Year be about friends?（1）What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph I probably mean?
A. Family
B. Living abroad
C. Home
D. Staying with friends
（2）Why doesn't the author care about "New Year's resolutions"?
A. New Year's resolutions cannot be reached.
B. His lifestyle makes him always ready for change.
C. It's meaningless to make any big changes in life.
D. Making New Year's resolutions creates much pressure.
（3）What does the author try to convey through his experiences in Ireland and Barcelona?
A. Life is peaceful and enjoyable.
B. Living abroad is a happy experience.
C. Staying with friends makes one feel at home.
D. Travelling abroad enriches one's life experience.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. New Year's Celebration: How?
B. True Friendship: What?
C. Living Abroad: Comfortable or Complicated?
D. Change: Plan it or Make it?
【答案】（1）C
（2）B
（3）C
（4）A
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，介绍了对于怎样庆祝新年这个问题，作者的答案是和朋友一起度过。

（1）考查代词指代。

根据第一段中的“Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows.”家不再是一幅有前门和一些窗户的房子的图画。

由此可知，下文的意思是家比这更复杂。

"It"指代上文提到的“家”，故选C。

（2）考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的“I do not care about‘New Year's resolutions’—living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I don't feel the need to plan for change: I live for change.”我不在乎“新年愿望”——在国外生活让我不断地重新考虑我想成为什么样的人，我将如何生活，所以我觉得没有必要为改变做计划：我为改变而活。

由此可知，作者不在乎“新年愿望”是因为他的生活方式使他时刻准备着改变，故选B。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据第三段中的“In the middle of the countryside, away from our big and constantly changing lives, we were able to become like a little family again.在乡村的中心，远离我们不断变化的大生活，我们又能像一个小家庭了；以及第四段中的“It was different, but one thing stayed very much the same-I felt at home again and we felt like a family again.”这是不同的，但有一件事是非常相同的——我感觉像回到了家，我们感觉像一个家庭。

由此推断出，作者试图通过他在爱尔兰和巴塞罗那的经历表达和朋友呆在一起让人有回家的感觉，故选C。

（4）考查主旨大意。

第三段中的“New Year's Eve has become my time to reconnect with the friends that makes me feel at home.”除夕已经成为我和朋友们重新联系的时间，这让我感到宾至如归。

是全文的主题句，结合全文内容，可知这篇文章主要讲了对于怎样庆祝新年这个问题，作者的答案是和朋友一起度过，故选A。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，代词指代，推理判断和主旨大意四个题型的考查，是一篇人生感悟类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

4．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

One evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a
remote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path. That's when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks. Ceely's near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device. She had never driver the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing. "I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train," she told the BBC.
Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely's story in his book When Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it's not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.
The problem with his argument in the book is that it's not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn't say.
It's a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable, Perhaps, but maybe it's also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.
The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology.
If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just a. s long.
（1）What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident?
A. She was not familiar with the road.
B. It was dark and raining heavily then.
C. The railway workers failed to give the signal.
D. Her GPS device didn't tell her about the crossing.
（2）The phrase "near miss" (Paragraph 2) can best be replaced by ________.
A. close hit
B. heavy loss
C. narrow escape
D. big mistake
（3）Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?
A. Modern technology is what we can't live without.
B. Digtal technology often falls short of our expectation.
C. Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.
D. GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely's accident.
（4）In the writer's opinion, Stevenson's argument is ________.
A. one-sided
B. reasonable
C. puzzling
D. well-based
（5）What is the real concern of the writer of this article?
A. The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.
B. The human unawareness of technical problems.
C. The shortcomings of digital devices we use.
D. The relationship between humans and technology.
【答案】（1）D
（2）C
（3）B
（4）A
（5）D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者讲述了一起交通事故，司机没有看到火车路口导致了一起事故，司机却将责任归咎到自己的导航仪没有路口提示上。

引发作者对于人与科技的关系上的深思。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的"Ceely's near miss made the news because she blamed it on he GPS(导航仪)." 可知Ceely认为事故发生的原因是GPS没有指出那个路口。

故选D。

（2）考查词义猜测。

根据第一段可知Ceely的车被卡在铁路上并且被火车撞飞了，而她自己则死里逃生，文章用"near miss"来形容这个事故，由此可推断narrow escape 最符合文意，即Ceely很惊险地逃生了，故选C。

（3）考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的"We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job." 可知Stevenson认为是科技设备应该被指责，即它们不能满足人们的需要，故选B。

（4）考查细节理解。

根据第四段中的 "The problem with his argument in the book is that it's not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes." 可知作者认为Stevenson只关注到了片面的，故选A。

（5）考查主旨大意。

根据倒数第二段中的"The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex." 可知作者在讨论完Ceely这起事故后，在最后两段将讨论延伸到了人与科技的关系上，因此作者实际关心的内容是人与科技的关系，故选D。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇人生感悟类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

5．阅读理解
It was many years ago. I was a young dad sitting on the couch reading a fairy tale to my little girl. She sat next to me with her head on my arm as I told the tale. When it came to the end I finished with those famous words: "And they lived happily ever after." As I looked over to her with her wavy(鬈曲的), brown hair and big, innocent eyes I could see the smile on her face and I never wanted it to end. Then it dawned on me that the ending of the book was what I wanted for
her. I wanted her to "live happily ever after".
Still, deep in my heart I knew that this couldn't always be so. I knew that there would be times when her heart was broken. I knew there would be times when she cried in grief and I couldn't comfort her. I knew there would be times when all she felt was fear, sadness, sorrow, and despair. As I stroked her hair and smiled at her I hoped that those times would be brief and that she would have joy in her life more often than not. Living happily ever after, though, seemed out of the question.
It takes me a lot of years to realize that it is possible to live happily ever after. You just have to do it "one day at a time". Happiness you see isn't some reward that you get at the end of your journey. Happiness isn't something that depends on what life you own. Happiness is something you create in your life choice by choice and day by day.
The truth is happiness comes when you love. Love is a gift from God. It is love that mends broken hearts. It is love that heals grief. It is love that gives us joy. Choose to "live happily ever after, one day at a time".
（1）What is the author's wish to his daughter?
A. Getting a good job in the future.
B. Making many friends in her school.
C. Traveling around the world in her life.
D. Having a happy life ever after.
（2）What can we know from Paragraph 2?
A. Life's meaning consists in devotion.
B. Life is always full of difficulties and challenges.
C. There are times that life goes against us.
D. Everyone has the right to obtain happiness and freedom.
（3）How to get happiness in author's opinion?
A. Reward yourself once a day.
B. Create it by yourself in your daily life.
C. Get rid of those disturbing things.
D. Take charge of your life independently.
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?
A. To show the significance of love.
B. To describe a daughter's growth.
C. To introduce the definition of love.
D. To tell a young father's experience.
【答案】（1）D
（2）C
（3）B
（4）A
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者每天为女儿读故事书，希望女儿从此以后能过上快乐幸福的生活，后来作者明白：幸福来自于自己的创造，来自于充满爱的心。
