无锡市高考英语 阅读理解训练经典题目
无锡市高考英语阅读理解训练经典题目一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解At first, Michael Surrell didn't see the black smoke or flames shooting from the windows of his neighbors' home. He and his wife had just parked around the corner from their own house in Allentown, Pennsylvania, when they got a call from one of his daughters, "The house next door is on fire!" He went to investigate. That's when he saw two women and a girl hysterical (歇斯底里的)on their porch."The baby's in there!" one of the women cried. Though the fire department had been called, Surrell, then 64, instinctively ran inside. "The baby" was 8-year-old Tiara Roberts, the woman's granddaughter and a playmate of Surrell's three youngest kids, then 8, 10, and 12. The other two on the porch were Tiara's aunt and cousin.Entering the burning house was like "running into a bucket of black paint," Surrell says. The thick smoke caused him to stumble blindly around, burned his eyes, and made it impossible to breathe. The conditions would have been hazardous for anyone, but for Surrell, who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (慢性阻塞性肺疾病), they were life-threatening. He was the last person who should have run into a burning building--- he has lung disease. But that didn't stop him.After a few minutes in the smoke filled house, he retreated outside to catch his breath. "Where is Tiara?" he asked desperately." The second floor." her aunt shouted back.Surrell knew he couldn't hold his breath for long. So he uttered a little prayer, "Well, Lord, this is it. You gotta help me, because I'm not coming out without that little girl." Taking a deep breath, he went in a second time.The darkness was overwhelming. Yet because the house had a similar layout to his, he found the stairs and made it to the second floor. He turned to the right and was met by intense heat. He was already out of breath."Baby girl, where are you?" His throat and lungs burned as if he'd inhaled fire instead of the smoke and soot in the air. Every blink stung his eyes. All he could hear was the crackling and popping of burning wood. ①.Still unable to see, Surrell fell to his knees on the hot wood floor. He crawled toward the sound, feeling around for any sign of the girl. An ominous thought crossed his mind: I'm probably gonna die up here.Finally he touched something. A shoe, then an ankle. He pulled Tiara toward him. ②Her body was limp and she wasn't breathing. He scooped her into his arms and stood. He felt the heat of the flames on his cheeks. Turning, he fought through the smoke and ran blindly into the blackness. The next thing he knew, he was at the front door, then outside. Surrell put Tiara down on the porch.③. A voice told him, "You have to breathe for her." He started CPR -the first time he'd ever done so. The women stood behind him, praying silently. Soon a soot-filled cough came from Tiara's throat. Surrell gave five more breaths. She coughed again. Her eyes flickered. He gave one final breath. She opened her eyes and took a breath on her own.④.Their eyes met. Surrell hugged her tight and said, "Uncle's got you." Soon after, his throat closed off.Surrell woke up in the hospital a couple of days later, having suffered severe burns to his windpipe and the upper portion of his lungs. He spent over a week in the hospital. Tiara was released from the hospital after a few days. The fire exacerbated Surrell's pulmonary condition, and he feels the effects even two years later. As a result, he takes extra medication that helps open his airways. "It's a small price to pay," he says. "I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Wouldn't giveit a second thought."（1）Michael Surrell ran to save "the baby" mainly because______.A.he was on the scene casuallyB.he was driven by instinctC.his daughter was in dangerD.his own house was at risk（2）Why should Surrell be the last person to run into a burning building?A.The fire department had been called.B.He was 64 years old at that time.C.The condition was life-threatening.D.He had chronic pulmonary disease.（3）In the course of rescue, Surrell______.A.had to move out for breath because of smokeB.was prevented by the overwhelming smokeC.made it to the second floor without any troubleD.could clearly hear the sound made by the baby（4）Which blank could the sentence "Then a weak but distinct voice emerged" be best put in?A.①B.②C.③D.④（5）From the last paragraph, we can learn that______. .A.Surrell came back to life a week laterB.Tiara had to stay in hospital for weeksC.Surrell's disease became more seriousD.Tiara needed further extra medication（6）What can be a suitable title for the passage?A.Breathe for HerB.Struggle to surviveC.A small price to payD.A man with lung disease【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）A（4）A（5）C（6）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，一个患有慢性阻塞性肺疾病的人不顾个人安危去邻居家着火的房子里成功救出小女孩，因此造成他肺部疾病加重，但是他对自己所做的从不后悔。

You may be 26 to follow trends（潮流）in Western countries, but young people in the United States don’t care as much about 27 as you do.A recent survey among high school 28 in China, Japan, South Korea and the US found that 29 teenagers care more about their appearance than young people in the US.This survey was held in 156 high schools in the four countries. More than 7,000 teenagers were 30 about their views on life and the world. South Koreans, at 83 percent, cared most about their looks.

The percentage of self-confident Chinese students stands at only 30 percent.What’s36 , US students showed more individuality, with 88 percent 37 that “people s hould follow their own interests rather than 38 of others”. This is much 39 than South Korea’s 69 percent, China’s 49 and Japan’s 48.Japanese students, at 52 percent, are most dissatisfied with modern society. Chinese and Koreans follow at second and 40 most dissatisfied.“ 41 to the survey, Chinese students are happy and disciplined (有纪律的). They have a strong wish to make a difference. 42 Chinese students need to be more independent and learn how to relax,” said Sun.The students have different 43 backgrounds.

Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources（资源）, we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Littleby little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.50. From the passage we know that some students often _______ in the school.A. eat too muchB. don‘t work hardC. waste thingsD. throw rubbish everywhere51. Which is not mentioned in this passage？A. Fresh waterB. Forest.C. Oil.D. Coal.52. What may happen in 100 years？A. We may still have enough oil.B. We may still have enough coal.C. We may have a little oil.D. We may have no coal or oil to use.53. Which is the best title of this passage？A. Stop WastingB. School lifeC. Waste in the SchoolD.

It is usually read on personal computers. Some mobile phones can also be used to read e-books.Earlier e-books were written for a specific(专业） group of readers and were about only a few subjects. With the development of the Internet, knowledge and answers to a lot of questions mainly come from e-books. This is why the e-book business is increasing quickly.E-books have many advantages. First, they save time. We don’t need to go to a bookstore to buy books, besides, we can find the topic we want to know about on the Internet, and then we can quickly get many e-books on similar topics. Second, e-books save money. Some e-books cost a little money, and there are millions of e-books on the Internet that we can get for free. Third, more trees are saved because e-booksdon’t need to be printed(印刷) on paper. Fourth, e-books make reading more convenient. You can carry a whole library of hundreds of books with you in a small computer or any e-book reader (电子阅读器) without worrying about their weight.But e-books have certain disadvantages. They need a personal computer or an e-book reader and the information can be lost if its file format (文件格式) is not supported （支持）or changed i n the reader’s computer.However, e-books provide us with a new way of reading.

无锡市高考英语 阅读理解训练经典题目
无锡市高考英语阅读理解训练经典题目一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解A study published in the journal Science reveals that since 1970, bird populations in the United States and Canada have declined by 29 percent, or almost 3 billion birds. The results show tremendous losses across diverse groups of birds and habitats - from iconic songsters such as meadowlarks to long-distance migrants such as swallows."These data are consistent with what we're seeing elsewhere," said coauthor Peter Marra, former head of the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center. It's urgent to address ongoing threats, both because the domino effects (多米诺效应)can lead to the decay of ecosystems that humans depend on for our own health and livelihoods and because people all over the world cherish birds in their own right. Can you imagine a world without birdsong?"Evidence for the declines emerged from detection of migratory birds in the air from 143 NEXRAD weather radar stations across the continent in a period spanning over 10 years as well as from nearly 50 years of data collected through multiple monitoring efforts on the ground. Citizen-science participants also contributed a lot, for the analysis included citizen-science data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey coordinated by the Canadian Wildlife Service- the main sources of long-term, large-scale population data for North American birds.The study noted that the largest factor driving these declines is likely the widespread loss and degradation of habitat, especially due to agricultural intensification and urbanization. Other studies have documented death from predation (捕食)by domestic cats; collisions with glass, buildings, and other structures; and pervasive (普遍的)use of pesticides associated with widespread declines in insects, an essential food source for birds. Climate change is expected to compound these challenges by altering habitats and threatening plant communities that birds need to survive."It's a wake-up call that we've lost more than a quarter of our birds in the U.S. and Canada," said coauthor Adam Smith from Environment and Climate Change Canada. But the crisis reaches far beyond our individual borders. Many of the birds that breed in Canadian backyards migrate through or spend the winter in the U.S. and places farther south - from Mexico and the Caribbean to Central and South America. What our birds need now is an historic, hemispheric effort that unites people and organizations with one common goal: bringing our birds back.（1）The underlined word "decay" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to____.A.improvementB.worseningC.changedD.threat（2）What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.New findings of the research.B.Applications of the research.C.Data sources of the research.D.Methods of the research.（3）What Adam Smith said mainly implies that___________.A.bird populations in America and Canada dropped by a quarterB.the bird population crisis is not just within individual bordersC.there is little individuals can do to help increase bird populationsD.the solution to solving the crisis needs international cooperation【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道。

Study author Brent Coker said, “Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee’sattention.”“People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention,” Coker said on the university’s website. “Having a short break, such as a quick surfing of the Internet, helps the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day’s work, and as a res ult, increases productivity(生产效率),”he said.According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours. Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and watching videos. “Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching video, using social networking sites or shopping online,” said Coker. “That’s not always a good idea.”However, Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation (适度), or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office. “Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will havea lower productivity than those without,” he said.51.

无锡市高考英语阅读理解训练经典题目一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解As the President of Ariel Investments, I am often asked how to cultivate (培养) green hands to be qualified for a new job within a short time. My memories take me straight back to the days when I worked for John W. Rogers.While in college, I worked as an intern (实习生) at Ariel Investments. As the youngest girl of six kids from a single mom, I had very little knowledge of the business world. When I graduated, I decided to return to the company to improve myself.At the age of 22, my perspective was greatly influenced by lunching with the company's founder and then-president, John W. Rogers. He told me that I would often find myself in the company of rich and successful people with big titles, lots of degrees and lots of experience. And yet, my ideas could still be as good or even better, he said. This early advice became the guiding force that has helped me throughout my entire career. When I was starting out, I thought my inexperience was holding me back, but John said that it was a good thing. He told me that being inexperienced means that you have a fresh point of view.As my tutor, John encouraged me to be brave. As my boss, he took some giant leaps of faith to support me. Because of our first lunch and the years of support that followed, I never thought twice about speaking up, raising my hand or taking a seat at the table. Staying in the background was never a choice. But John's advice came with one important warning. I needed to keep my attitude in check. It's one thing to be firm but quite another to be rude. Similarly, there is a fine line between confidence and overconfidence. With that in mind, I have had to learn to balance the way I act around others. As someone once told me, "the goal is to be non-threatened and non-threatening at the same time."（1）What can we learn about the author from the text?A.She went to Ariel Investments after graduation for practice.B.She made her voice heard with encouragement from her boss.C.Her miserable childhood had a negative effect on her work.D.Her performance during internship was highly praised in public.（2）Due to John W. Rogers' advice, the author_______.A.learned to strike a balance between work and lifeB.contributed her ideas only after listening to others'C.no longer felt lost and became aware of her own valueD.switched to a different company to display her talent（3）What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Keep Your Attitude under Control.B.Encourage Your Employees to Grow.C.Let Your Success Be Your Noise.D.Live a Life with a High Goal.（4）Who would probably benefit most from this article?pany bosses.B.Those new to a job.C.Business consultants.D.Experienced teammates.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作为实习生，作者在实习期间受到公司的创始人、董事长John W. Rogers深深地影响，John W. Rogers鼓励作者要敢于思考、发表自己的想法，也鼓励作者要勇敢，因为John W. Rogers，作者也学习到"要有锋芒却不伤人"。

And the work for US president-elect Barack Obama has begun.The 47-year-old politician rose to the highest post because of his stand against the war in Iraq and his plans to fix a weak economy. But what will the first 47-year-old African-American president do for race relations?Obama’s victory appears to have given blacks and other minorities a true national role model. For years, many looked to athletes and musicians for inspiration. As Darius Turner, anAfrican-American high school student in Los Angeles, told the Los Angeles Times, “Kobe doesn’t have to be everybody’s role model anymore.”Recent polls（民意测验）also suggest that Obama’s victory has given Americans new optimism about race relations. For example, a USA Today poll found that two-thirds of Americans believe relations between blacks and whites “will finally be worked out”. This is the most hopeful response since the question was first asked during the civil rights revolution in 1963.However, it’s still too early to tell whether Obama’s presidency will begin to solve many of the social problems facing low-income black communities.Although blacks make up only 13 percent of the US population, 55 percent of all prisoners are African-American. Such numbers can be blamed on any number of factors on America’s racist past, a failure of government policy and the collapse(瓦解)of the family unit in black communities. It is unlikely that Obama will be able to reverse (扭转) such trends overnight. However, Bill Bank, an expert of African-American Studies, says that eventually young blacks need to find role models in their own communities. “That’s not Martin Luther King, and not Barack Obama,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “It’s actually the people closest to them. Barack only has so much influence.”In the opinion of black British politician Trevor Phillips, Obama’s rise will contribute more to multiculturalism than to race relations in the US.“When the G8 meets, the four most important people in the room will be the president of China, the prime minister of India, the prime minister of Japan and Barak Obama,” he told London’s The Times newspaper. “It will be the first time we’ve seen that on our television screens. That will be a huge psychological shift (心理转变) for both the white people and the colored ones in the world.”47. For years, before Obama was elected president of the US, __________.A. Kobe was the only role model for all the blacksB. blacks could only find role models on the basketball courtC. minorities in America couldn’t find role models in their real lifeD. American blacks had no role model who was successful in political area48. According to Bill Bank, ____________.A. it’s better for young blacks to find role models in those who are close to themB. young blacks should not be so much influenced by ObamaC. blacks should find other role models because Obama is far from their realityD. Obama is not the proper role model for African-Americans49. What would be the best title for this passage?A. The First African-American PresidentB. America’s New Role ModelC. Obama-- A Successful Black .D. Choosing a Right Role Model50. What will be the huge psychological shift Trevor mentioned at the end of the passage?A. The other three leaders all support Obama.B. Obama is an African-American president.C. None of the four leaders is white.D. The other three leaders except Obama are from Asian countries.参考答案------------ D.

Industry experts estimate that US $4.3 billion in worldwide sales was lost to music piracy last year. These lost profits could force record companies to stop producing the music of many popular artists. That would hurt both musicians and music fans alike.Music producers are puzzled about how to fight music piracy. Their efforts to fight piracy using the law have had only limited success. The music industry did win a legal victory against Napster, a famous music website. The courts ordered Napster to stop giving away copyrighted music from their site. But a number of other music-sharing networks have sprung up in its place.These new networks are made up of thousands, or even millions, of individuals. Unlike Napster, there’s no one company controlling the distribution(发行) of music over each network. So it’s nearly impossible to stop the illegal activities.Now people in the music industry have decided that “if you can’t beat them, join them”. They’ve begun to offer legal alternatives to online music piracy. Major music producers have given companieslike Apple Computer permission to sell their music online. Apple’s iTune Music Store allows computer users to legally download any song for 99 cents.Will these new measures save the music industry from piracy? That depends on whether music fans are willing to pay 99 cents for a song that they can download illegally for free. Unfortunately, many people believer music should be free. The music industry, however, hopes to persuade these music fans to change their tune.56.These text is written to_________.A.discuss music piracy on the InternetB.introduce the popularity of online musicC.persuade music fans to give up downloading musicD.protect copyrighted music from being downloaded illegally57.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Some online services are responsible for music piracy.B.Napster, a famous music website, broke down because of its piracy.C.There have been no perfect measures to put an end to piracy.D.Legal sharing of music is available at Apple’s iTune Music Store.58.Which of the following statements would the writer agree with?A.The only effective way to fight music piracy is to stop it by law.B.Music lovers will be persuaded to pay for online music in time.C.It is certain that no one will be willing to pay for online music.D.There is a long way for music industry to go in fighting piracy.参考答案-------------- A:ABD************************************************************结束(·福建卷)Diana Velez does everything with maximum effort—and at maximum speed.That __1__learning a new language，completing two certificates and opening a store.When arriving in Canada in ，she had one__2__：to have what she had back home in Colombia.“I didn't want to __3__ what I do，like so many who come to a new country，“she said.“I__4__ to open a store here in Canada but knew I had to __5__myself properly.”Diana quickly realized that making her dream of shop ownership in Canada a __6__ meant going to school to get the__7__education and certification.“M y experience of owning a shop and working as a designer in Colombia gave me __8__ in my abilities，but I couldn't speak the language and I had to __9__how to do things in Canada.It was like having to __10__ all over again，”said Diana.__11__ she found just the help she needed for her relaunch (重新开张) __12__ continuing education at George Brown College.She began taking __13__ for both the Essential Skills in Fashion Certificate and the Image Consulting Certificate in May .__14__Diana met with the language barrier，she was always going__15__ while at college.By the end of October ，she had completed all certificate requirements.

无锡市2014高考英语一轮完形填空和阅读理解（精品）训练（19）附答案B3[2012·上海卷]Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.People on a college campus were more likely to give money to the March of Dimes if they were asked for a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a nondisabled woman. In another __50__， subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble (绊脚) and fall to the floor. Sometimes the victim had a large red birthmark on his __51__ ; sometimes he did not. In this situation, the victim was more likely to __52__ aid if his face was spotless than if he had an unattractive birthmark. In __53__ these and other research findings，two themes are __54__ : we are more willing to help people we like for some reason and people we think __55__ assistance.In some situations, those who are physically attractive are more likely to receive aid. __56__ , in a field study researchers placed a completed application to graduate school in a telephone box at the airport. The application was ready to be __57__，but had apparently been “lost”. The photo attached to the application was sometimes that of a very __58__ person and sometimes that of a less attractive person. The measure of helping was whether the individual who found the envelope actually mailed it or not. Results showed that people were more likely to __59__ the application if the person in the photo was physically attractive.The degree of __60__ between the potential helper and the person in need is also important. For example, people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country rather than a foreigner. In one study, shoppers on a busy street in Scotland were more likely to help a person wearing a(n) __61__ Tshirt than a person wearing a Tshirt printed with offensive words.Whether a person receives help depends in part on the “worth” of the case. For example, shoppers in a supermarket were more likely to give someone __62__ to buy milk rather than to buy cookies, probably because milk is thought more essential for __63__ than cookies. Passengers on a New York subway were more likely tohelp a man who fell to the ground if he appeared to be __64__ rather than drunk.50. A. study B. wayC. wordD. college51.

He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the young woman had a better grasp of 49 than he did.

While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual labor(体力劳动) is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward. Furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of variouscans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.61. From paragraph 1, we can know that in America ________.A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made manB. people can always rise to the top through their won effortsC. college professors win great respect from common workersD. people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors62. According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because ________.A. servants in American are hard to getB. she takes pride in what she can do herselfC. she can hardly afford servantsD. It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food63. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Americans respect people who have made their achievements by working hard.B. Americans look down upon manual labor.C. American parents enjoy doing everything for their children.D. American families like to prepare their food quickly and easily.64. The expression “wait on table” in the second paragraph means “________”.A. work in a furniture shopB. keep accounts for a barC. wait to lay the tableD. serve customers in a restaurant65. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?A. A Respectable Self-made FamilyB. American Attitude toward Manual LaborC. Characteristics of American CultureD. The Development of Manual Labor参考答案--------61—65 ABADB*****************************************************结束阅读理解（每题2分，共40分）AEveryone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Sure, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them and write to them. Maybe we wound never see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named in this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.There is more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people who don’t have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.36. The first paragraph tells us_______1．what is the feeling of having no friends2．how to communicate with friends3．making friends is a need in people’s life4．we need to be alone in our life37. According to the author, why sometimes friends don’t get along well? Because________A.friends move awayB.we don’t call them and write to themC.we have made new friendsD.no two people are the same38.

Mutter was also one of the world’s youngest professors.Born in Rheinfelden on June 29, 1963, Anner-Sophie grew up in Wehr, a small town just five kilometers from the Swiss border. Her father, Karl Wilhelm Mutter, and her mother, Gerlinde, considered music lessons part of a good education. Thus, their first son, Andreas, began practicing the violin at eight, and his younger brother, Christoph, had piano lessons. It came as no surprise when Anner-Sophie said she wanted a violin for her fifth birthday.Her parents thought she was too young for the violin, and persuaded her to start on the piano. But Anner-Sophie has always had a mind of her own. “I longed(渴望) to play the violin,” she said. “It seemed to me a much more interesting instrument.” After six months, her parents gave in.The famous violin teacher Erna Honigberger, who lived nearby, became Anner-Sophi’s tutor(家庭教师). After only nine months of lessons, she entered the six-year-old in a nationwide competition for young musicians. With Christoph accompanying her(为她伴奏)on the piano, Anner-Sophie’s won first prize.In 1974, Erna Honigberger died. Anner-Sophie’s new teacher was Aida Stucki. She taught Anner-Sophe to develop her own ideas on how a piece should be played, not just to imitate(模仿)others. This is one of the violinist’s strongest, most distinctive characteristics(与众不同的特点)today.Though the Mutters were short of money at times, they limited their daughter’s performances to one or two a year. “We are glad we went the family road,” said her father. “No outsider(外人)can ever have an effect on our daughter’s career(生涯) or push her into playing more concerts than she wants to.” Later she was allowed to give six to eight concerts a year and make some recordings. Only when she turned18 did she begin her professional career.43. It was_______when Anner-Sophie asked for a violin.A. surprisingB. greatC. usualD. possible44. Anner-Sophie’s career dates back to_______.A. the late 1960’sB. her family educationC. the late 1970’sD. her fifth birthday45. Which sentence shows Anner-sophie’s strong point as a violinist?A. She wanted a violin for her fifth birthday.B. She has always had a mind of her own.C. She had two famous violin teachers.D. Violin seemed to her a much more interesting instrument.参考答案---------阅读 43-45 CAB*****************************************************结束第三部分．阅读理解（共15小题每题2分共30分）AA mobile phone is in fact a small radio. A radio sends a person’s v oice overa long way to another radio. A voice that is sent by a radio is called a signal.A radio signal travels very quickly.Only a few years ago, mobile phones were large. They needed large batteries.They had to be powerful to send their signals to faraway places. This was because most cities had only one antenna(天线) tower for mobile phones.Today’s mobile phones are small and easy to use. Now most cities have a lot of antenna towers, not just one. This means that each mobile phone doesn’t have to send its signal far away, so they don’t need to be so powerful. Mobile phones today use small batteries. A large city, where lots of mobile phones are used, can have hundreds of towers.Do you know what use a mobile phone has? Yes, you can use it to do a lot ofthings.Call your friends and family from almost anywhere.Call the police immediately if there is an accident in the street.Send or receive messages.Sending short written messages is a popular way to use your mobile phone.

One billion people are learning it and it is said that by 2050, half of the world’s population will be using it. What are we talking about? That is the global language—English.The English language started in Britain in the 5th century. It is a mixed language. It was built up when German. Scandinavian and French invaders settled in England and created a common language for communication.Today it is the official language of the UK, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and Ireland as well as many islands in the Caribbean. Many other countries and regions use it for politics and business, for example, India. Pakistan, Nigeria and the Philippines. English is also one of the official languages of Hong Kong.But global advertising and pop music mean that in most countries, you will see or hear some English. Thanks to McDonalds, we all know about “burgers”. “fries” and “milkshakes”. Songs by Madonna, Britney Spears and Celine Dion are in English. We can sing along, even if we do not understand what we are singing!English is a messy (杂乱的) language. Every year, dictionaries include new wordsthat talk about popular culture, for example, computer-related words such as "blogging", "download" and "chartroom". Also included are words that teenagers use. Who does not know “cool”, “OK” and “hello”?Other languages also influence English. Many English words come from French. Words like “café” and expressions like “c'est la vie” (that is life) are all part of the English language. On the other hand, the French language includes English words like "le weekend" and "le camping". German words are also part of English. Words like "kindergarten" come from the German language.Recently, British people have become interested in “yoga”. But the word comes from an ancient Hindu language in India.41. The English language has a history of ______.A. over 2000 yearsB. over 500 yearsC. over 1500 yearsD. over 1000 years42.

It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency(货币) with you when you arrive in a country. This can be necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. A few years ago I was sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I flew there from London via(经由)Dallas, with very little time to change planes in between. I arrived there at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead.“Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was embarrassing (令人难堪的).The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suit and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.46. According to the passage, it’s obvious that______A. The author learns some rules of traveling from his own experience.B. The author doesn’t plan his trips or journeys carefully.C. Englishmen like to wear heavy suits wherever they travelD. The America taxi driver never travels to England.47. What should you make sure first before setting off?A. When you will leave.B. Where you will go.C. How you will travelD. Whom you will go with.48. According to the passage, the driver was angry because_______A. the author gave him false moneyB. the author did not give him the local currencyC. the author did not give him moneyD. the author had no enough change49. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The author tells people to choose warm places as their travel destinations.B. You don’t have to take credit cards when traveling.C. You should know more abou t the weather of the place you’ll visit.D. You should take enough change when you travel to other countries.50. What is the main idea of the passage?A. A few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.[B. Always check and double-check departure time.C. It is important to have the local currency with you when you arrive in a country.D. To find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave.参考答案----------46—50 AABCA*********************************************************结束(****)(2011·桂林一模)I grew up poor—living with six brothers, my father and a wonderful mother.

无锡市最新 高考英语 阅读理解练习题(含答案)
无锡市最新高考英语阅读理解练习题(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解If American waterways had ever been voted on the yearbook, the Buffalo River could easily have been named Ugliest. It could be hard to find hope there. It took decades for public perception of the river to shift. But activist citizens, who collaborated with industry, government, and environment groups never gave up on their polluted river—the Buffalo River gradually went from being considered a lost cause to a place worth fighting for. And by now the cleaned—up water is one of Buffalo'S biggest attractions.By the 1960s, the river was seen as one of the worst sources of pollution pouring into the Great Lakes. The Buffalo River had caught fire many times. The surface had an oily layer, and any fish caught there were not eatable.The waterway's fate started shifting in the mid-1960s. Stanley Spisiak was a local Polish—American jeweler by day, but by evening he was the kind of guy who'd chase down dumpers(垃圾车)he spotted on the Buffalo River. By 1966 he found himself winning the National Wildlife Federation's "Water Conservationist of the Year" award. And before long he got a nickname:" Mr. Buffalo River. "But there was only so much he could do—the river was still declared biologically dead in 1969.Jill Spisiak Jedlicka is his great-grandniece. She picks up where he left off by directing the river's protector organization, Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper. Professor Schneekloth and seven friends founded the organization as an all-volunteer nonprofit in 1989, after organizing the first river cleanup that year. Today the group employs 27 full-time workers and has helped oversee the Buffalo River's $100 million restoration.So far, the Buffalo River's water quality has restored, but it is still an ongoing issue, as sewage(污水)can overflow into the river after storms. Habitat restoration continues as well; fish and plantings are still being sampled to measure how well it's gone.（1）What did the Buffalo River use to be?A. A waterway on the yearbook.B. A river heavily polluted.C. A great attraction of Buffalo's.D. A place worth fighting for.（2）Why was Mr.Spisiak named "Mr. Buffalo River"?A. Because his fate shifted in the 1 960s.B. Because he spotted dumpers on the River.C. Because he spared no efforts to protect the river.D. Because the river was declared biologically dead.（3）How long did it take for the river to restore?A. More than half a century.B. Just four decades.C. About 30 years.D. Only 27 years.（4）What can be a suitable title for this text?A. The restoration of the Buffalo RiverB. Stanley Spisiak: The "Mr.Buffalo River"C. The future of the Buffalo RiverD. River protection: A long way to go【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了被污染的the Buffalo River的恢复。

Many families in the United States have a larger income now than ever before, but people are finding it difficult to make ends meet anyway. Almost everyone is wondering,“What happens to all my money?”I never seem to have anything lef t to put away.Why isn’t a dollar worth as much as it used to be? One dollar is always worth the same amount, that is, 100 cents. But the value of a dollar is how much it can buy. The value of money depends on the cost of living. Economists（经济学家） say that the cost of living is the money that a family must pay for the necessities of life （生活必需品） such as food, housing or rent, clothes, and medical expenses. For many years now, the cost of living has increased greatly, so the value of the dollar has decreased. When a dollar has a low value, you cannot buy as many things with it.No one fully understands why the cost of living keeps increasing, but economists believe that workers and producers can make prices go up. As workers earn more money, they have more money to spend, so many demand more goods. If there is a great demand for certain goods, the prices of these goods go up. At the same time, if there’s a shortage（短缺） of goods, the prices also go up. For example, if everyone wants to buy more and more gas, the price of gas goes up. When companies withhold gas from buyers, they can also make the price of gas go up.Families need to know what happens to their money. They need to make their income meet the cost of living, so many people plan a family budget. A budget（预算）is alist of monthly. If your expenses add up to more than your income, you must find ways to save money. Maybe you’re spending too much on entertainment. Or if you’re spending too much on clothes, you may want to sew your own clothes. Budgeting helps you spend your money wisely as the cost of living increases.58. What has troubled many families in the United States?A. A not-large-enough incomeB. Nothing is left over to put awayC. The increasing cost of livingD. A shortage of certain goods59. ________determines(决定) the value of the dollar.A. The governmentB. The cost of livingC. The economistD. The bank60. While the cost of living increases, the value of the dollar__________.A. increases tooB. decreasesC. neither increases nor decreasesD. seldom decreases61. When ________, the prices go up.A. demand（需求） exceeds（超过） supply（供给）B. supply exceeds demandC. demand doesn’t exceed supplyD. supply equals demand参考答案-------------58-61CBBA********************************************结束Having finished her homework, Ma Li wants some music for relaxation. As usual, she starts her computer and goes to to download music files. But this time she is surpr ised when an announcement about protecting songs’ copyright bursts onto the screen. The age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end as Web companies like Baidu are accused（控告）of pirating（盗用）copyright. Lawsuits（诉讼）have been filed against four websites offering free downloads. In September 2005, a Beijing court ordered Baidu to pay recording company Shanghai Push compensation for their losses. Baidu was also told to block the links to the pirated music on thewebsite. This caused a heated discussion on Internet file sharing.“Baidu’s defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying. Downloaders may face lawsuits or fines,” said an official.Like many teens, Huang Ruoru, an 18-year-old girl from Puning in Guangdong Province, doesn’t think that getting music from websites is wrong. She always shares her favourite songs downloaded from Baidu with her friends. When told about the lawsuit, she began to feel a little guilty about getting others’ work without paying.However, other teenagers have different ideas. Wang Yafei, a Senior 2 girl from Jinan, Shandong Province pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers. “If I download a song and really like it, I will buy the CD,” she said. “So what the recording companies really should concentrate on is improving their music, rather than pursuing（追究） file-sharers.”56. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A. Music on the Internet is of better quality.B. Downloading material can be illegal.C. It’s good to get free music on the Internet.D. Baidu is a popular web company.57. The four web companies were put to court because _________.A. they got copyrighted songs without payingB. they downloaded copyrighted music for peopleC. they make copyrighted files for free downloadsD. they offer free music on line58. How do some of the teenagers feel while downloading free music after thelawsuit?A. A bit guilty.B. A little sad.C. Extremely angry.D. Awfully sorry.59. What’s th e advantage of file sharing for recording companies?A. Getting more money from web companies.B. Enabling people to download favorite songs.C. Helping to improve the music.D. Making pop singers more popular.60. It can be inferred from the text that _________.A. Web companies are still ignoring the copyright laws.B. Teenagers haven’t got money to buy CDs.C. Teenagers are probably still downloading free music.D. Teenagers prefer CDs with copyright to pirated music.参考答案----------56--60 BCADCPassage B56. B. 主旨大意题。
