高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 101Passage 1My father's family is not a musical family. They are a family of words. My brother has my father's dark hair, his love of a good argument. I take after my mother. From her I got a curious nature, a sense of adventure, bright red hair. I did not, however, have a talent for the piano. That fact was seen beyond doubt after unsuccessful attempts to draw music from me.The piano lessons began when I was four. My mother was convinced that I would be a child Mozart. She found the ideal teacher — Madame Oblenka, a strict Russian woman, whose pursed lips were enough to frighten a wild horse into submission (服从). Madame Oblenka, who expected a little Mozart, was not very happy to find a little girl banging her fists(拳头) on the keys.I tried to please her. "Feel the music, " she urged. I "felt" it and closed my ear — for what is more unpleasant than a series of wrong notes played continuously? She "felt" my music, too, because she always left with an angrier expression than when she came.Once, when I was ten, I managed to record one of my own rehearsals(练习). In order to escape my practice sessions, I would close myself behind the door of the piano room, put on the tape recording, and read until the tape had finished. That method worked for a week, until my mother began to wonder why I always missed the same B-sharp. She knocked on the door, and, receiving no answer, came in to check on me and found that I had fallen asleep while the tape of my performance played on and on.I was twelve when my parents finally realized that my hidden talent was not about to emerge any time soon. My mother, refusing to admit defeat, told me to pick another instrument. "Choose anything you want, Honey, " she said, thinking that freedom of choice would bring devotion. I thought long and hard and chose the drums. My parents, sensitive to noise, would be less than overjoyed by a daily bombardment(轰炸) of playing. I imagined my father in his study, cotton wads(团) in his ears.I worked my way through several other instruments before my mother hit on another idea. Maybe I wasn't meant to be a musician. Realizing that drama might be more suited to my talents, Mom took me to a drama teacher. However, he put me backstage, painting scenery. Once I recovered from my sense of injury, I realized the wisdom of his choice. I loved the active, practical backstage world, and I discovered that I had a love for building and painting. I loved the challenge of taking our limited supplies and using them to make something beautiful. Imagining a scene and then seeing it emerge before me — this, to me, was close to magic.I'm a sculptor(雕刻家) now, and every day I experience afresh the joy of being fully absorbed in the act of artistic creation. It's a wonderful, cheerful feeling. I realize that my parents, in their misguided attempts to interest me in music, were trying to give me this feeling. And now I feel grateful. Perhaps they went about it in the wrong way, but their hearts were in the right place.1. The underlined word "emerge" in the fifth paragraph can be replaced by________ .A. disappearB. failC. turnD. show2. The music teacher always left when the playing because________ .A. she didn't like the music being playedB. she was already angry when she cameC. the writer played too many wrong notesD. the writer "felt" her own music3. Which of the following best shows the author's attitude towards piano practice? ________A. She tried to make the piano teacher pleased.B. She repeated the same mistake in practicing.C. She played the recording instead of practicing.D. She recorded her performance for improvement.4. The author's mother can be best described as________ .A. devoted and stubbornB. encouraging and independentC. helpful and thoughtfulD. hardworking and generous5.

It is so unique that in 2004 it become a World Heritage (遗产) Site.I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey. Blanketed in mist, Victorian architecture (建筑) rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of sea-birds, and appeared unbelievably charming. When I headed toward the center, I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe. It is not hard to imagine why, on first seeing the city, most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings, which are solid signs of Liverpool's history.As if to stress its cultural role, Liverpool has more museums and galleries than most cities in Britain. At Walker Art Gallery, I was told that it has the best collections of Victorian paintings in the world, and is the home of modern art in the north of England. However, culture is more than galleries. Liverpool offers many music events. As Britain's No. 1 music city, it has the biggest city music festival in Europe, and its musicians are famous all over the world. Liverpool is also well-known for its football and other sports events. Every year, the Mersey River Festival attracts thousands of visitors, making the city a place of wonder.As you would expect from such a city, there are restaurants serving food from around the world. When my trip was about to complete, I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool's famous Philharmonic pub. It is a monument (丰碑) to perfection, and aheritage attraction itself.Being a World Heritage Site, my home city is certainly a place of "outstanding universal value". It is a treasure house with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.1.

What is the passage mainly about? ________A. The unusual artistic beauty in LiverpoolB. The exciting experience of the author in LiverpoolC. The special cultural atmosphere of LiverpoolD. The beautiful historic sites of LiverpoolPassage 3A theme park manager has the job of watching over and controlling the daily operations of the theme park. One of their most important jobs is to manage the visitors' experience. This can include everything from the appearance of the park to the hours of operation. A theme park manager also makes plans and develops strategies(策略) to ensure the health and safety of visitors. To help keep visitors satisfied, he usually sets customer service polices(政策) that show how employees should treat visitors and respond to their needs.Often, theme park managers make decisions regarding theme park policies. For example, the manager of a theme park may have to decide when the park opens and closes daily. He may also choose when the park will open and close for the season. If the weather turns terrible, the manager often has to decide whether or not to open the park for the day. A person in this position may also be responsible for making policies on when a visitor can get a refund(退款) or discount on his admission fee.The amusements in a theme park have to be maintained(保养) in order to ensure they stay in good working order to ensure they stay in good working order. A theme park manager typically carries out a routine inspection. The individual who holds this position also creates plans and strategies for dealing with emergencies. He may also watch over security workers who help keep the park safe for visitors.Some theme park managers also have the job of staying abreast of changes in the theme park industry and knowing what the park's competitors are doing. Theinformation the manager gets through these efforts often helps him decide when to make improvements and how to keep the park competitive.The extent (范围) of a theme park manager's job may depend on the size of the park.

The writer develops the passage by________ .A. telling storiesB. giving examplesC. making commentsD. making comparisonPassage 4It began as a game: High school and college students studying computer technology figured out they could use personal computers to break into telephone company computers and make free, long-distance telephone calls. These young computer talents soon gained the name "hackers".Police arrested a few hackers, but many went on to even more complex hacking. One of them was arrested for making illegal telephone calls and later he used a phone to change a police officer's credit records to get back at the officer for arresting him. He also used a computer to change his college records to give himself better grades.As hackers gained experience, they began invading computers at banks, airlines and other businesses. In one case a hacker instructed an airline' s computer to give him free airplane tickets.The U. S. government is worried that hackers may break into its networks of defense computers. The government's secrets are easily attacked because thousands of government computers are connected by telephone lines that hackers can get into.In November 1988, a college student entered a U. S. Defense Departmentcomputer network called Arpanet. The hacker injected a computer program that made copies of itself throughout Arpanet. Some hackers use viruses to destroy all the data in a computer. But in this case, government officials shut down the network before the program reached every computer in the system. Shutting down the system angered many researchers who were using the computers. The hacker turned himself in to the police and he was charged with a crime.The incident put the spotlight on computer hacking in the United States. Many companies have hired experts to protect their computers from hackers, and many computer experts now advise companies on how to protect their computers.The U. S. government believes foreign governments have hired hackers to try to break into top-secret defense computers.Experts disagree over whether a computer network can ever be safe from hacking. But in the future, some of the most outstanding minds in the U. S. will be working to frustrate the attempts of computer hackers.1. What did the first hackers do?A.

Build secret defense systems.C. Ask the government for help.D. Collect and analyze the data of hackers.Passage 5A recent study showed that disordered eating has negative effects on health including lower self-evaluation of health, which isn’t too surprising. What was really shocking was how common the disordered eating behaviors seemed to be in our culture.Individually, these behaviors aren’t something to be overly concerned about, but when they add up, it became a roadblock to healthy living. Ask yourself the right questions to find out if you, too, have gone beyond healthy habits and worry about your weight.For example, starchy(含淀粉的) foods can make people feel uneasy about eating them. Sometimes an ingredient, like fat, causes anxiety, even if it’s used to make healthy foods like olive oil. If you’re skipping foods and blaming it on an allergy(过敏) reason,but your real motivation is to lose weight, that’s a red flag.A strict eating schedule might seem like a smart way to provide structure throughout your day, but overdoing it can leave you feeling hungry.Not having control over how your food is prepared can be a concern, especially if you have food allergies. It’s when that anxiety is baseless and prevents you from otherwise enjoying a night out that it becomes a problem.Tracking calories can be a useful tool to understand which foods are rich in calories, which ones aren’t, and what calorie range you should be eating. If it becomes overbearing, it’s no longer a healthy method. It’s the right way to pay attention to your hunger and satiety(饱足), and rely on those to decide when to start and stop eating.Disordered eating is common, but it’s not harmless. Seek out help if you see yourself in these behaviors, and make sure you recognize the signs that you’re already at a health weight.1. What does the underlined part “a red flag” in the third paragraph mean?A. A good means.B. A negative attitude.C. A warning sign.D. A normal situation.2. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Tracking calories can be a useful tool to keep fit.B. Disordered eating is common but harmful.C. Skipping foods won’t help you lose weight.D. Knowing how your food is prepared can be beneficial.3. If you have disordered eating problems, you’d better ______ accordingly.A. avoid starchy foodsB. lose weightC. prepare your food wellD. turn to the doctors4. The author proves her point by ____________.A. using examplesB. making a comparisonC. asking and answeringD. analyzing causes and effects参考答案Passage 11. D推理判断题。

高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 162

高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 162Passage 1One day last summer, watching the boys and girls trying to catch butterflies I remembered something happened when I was young. When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing. No musician can sing more beautiful than the birds. I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician.I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, the bird flew about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.I had left the cage out, and on the second day my new pet’s mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I about how to feed her baby.The following morning when I went to see how my bird was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! I had taken good care of my little bird.Arthur Wayne, the famousornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time. Hearing me crying over the death of my bird, he explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poisonous(有毒的) berries(干果). She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in cage.”Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.1. Why did the writer catch a mockingbird when he was a boy of 12?A. He had just got a new cage.B. He liked its beautiful feather.C. He wanted a pet for a companion.D. He wanted it to sing for him.2. The mockingbird died because it ______.A. drank the poisonous water by mistakeB. was frightened to deathC. ate the poisonous food its mother gave itD. refused to eat anything3. What is the most important lesson the writer learned from the incident?A. Freedom is very valuable to all living things.B. All birds put in a cage won’t live long.C. You should keep the birds from their mother.D. Be careful about food you give to baby birds.Passage 2If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.Some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding important organs like the heart liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat”, said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College.Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes (糖尿病). They want to prove that internal fat damages the body's communication systems.The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no shortcut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.1. What is this passage mainly about?A. Thin people may be fat inside.B. Internal fat is of no importance.C. Internal fat leads to many diseases.D. Thin people don't have diabetes.2. Doctors have found _____.A. the exact dangers of internal fatB. being slim is not dangerous at allC. internal fat is the cause of heart diseaseD. being slim doesn’t mean you are not fat inside3. From the last paragraph, we can find that _____.A. internal fat leading to disease has been provedB. thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slimC. it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fatD. exercise plays an important role in people’s life for keeping healthy4. The underlined part “shortcut” in the last paragraph means _____.A. a long roadB. an easy wayC. a clear differenceD. a short distancePassage 3There are types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This results from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things：the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their words, they sour the pleasure of society, offend（hurt）many people, and make themselves unwelcome everywhere. If this state of mind is founded in nature, such unhappy person would be the more to be shown sympathy. The intention（意图）of criticizing（批评）and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation（模仿）. It grows into a habit, unknown to its owners. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people hurt many others. Nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This often puts them in a bad mood and draws them into arguments. If they want to get some advantages in social position or money, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step of speaking a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections（反对）, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomesmixed up in their quarrels.1. People who are unhappy ________ .A. always see the unpleasant side of certain thingsB. are usually born with the criticizing qualities.C. usually misunderstand what others think or sayD. always dislike and quarrel with happy people2. The phrase“sour the pleasure of society”most nearly means“________ ”.A. have a good taste with social lifeB. tend to scold others openlyC. make others unhappyD. enjoy the pleasure of life3. We can conclude from the passage that ________ .A. we should pity all such unhappy peopleB. people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessC. such unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeD. unhappy people can not understand happy person4. If such unhappy person insists on keeping the habit, the author suggests people should ________ .A. quarrel with until they realize itB. show no respect and politeness to themC. help them to recognize the bad effectsD. prevent any communication with themPassage 4It's time for those who are about to graduate to look for jobs since graduation season is drawing near. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (文身), nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can't judge a book by its cover, yet people do "cover" themselves in order to convey (传递) certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees, because those people represent the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can't expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidatesimply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.1. Which of the following is the newspaper editor's opinion according to Paragraph 2? ________A. People's appearances carry messages about themselves.B. Customers' choices influence dress standards in companies.C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.2. What can be inferred from the text? ________A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.B. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.D. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.3. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? ________A. Employees MatterB. Appearances MatterC. Personal Choices MatterD. Hiring Managers Matter4. The author's attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as ________ .A. enthusiasticB. positiveC. negativeD. sympatheticPassage 5Learning other languages, you discover how to say the same thing in many differentבוט. In Vietnamese, ways. In English we say "goodnight". In Hebrew people say הליילpeople say "Chúc ngǔ ngon", which means "have a delicious sleep". When I think about the word "delicious" I think of pizza, chocolate and ice-cream. I don't think about going to sleep. So depending on the language, different phrases will improve your creativity and force you to think about how to say things in a different way.Studying a new language, you will notice that you have to lean a new sense of humour that comes along with the culture of that language. Sometimes, jokes that work in English won't work in French or Japanese. But sometimes things that nobody would laugh in English work in Vietnamese. I learned this when I performed stand-up comedy in Vietnam. A lot of my non-Vietnamese speaking friends would ask me to translate the jokes for them, but when I translated back to English, no one laughed.When you learn a new language you have to learn a lot of vocabulary, new grammar structures, idioms, and much more besides. Doing this, you have to learn memorization tactics (策略). These could be flashcards, using recall methods, or building a memory palace. Whatever tactic you use, it will strengthen your creativity.Next time you meet someone who speaks several languages, before you think that they have something special going on in their brain, take a step back and think. Maybe they do. But maybe they've got that special thing because they've made the effort to learn several languages. And effort is something we can all give.בוט"? ________1. Which has the closest meaning as"הליילA. Goodbye.B. Delicious food.C. Have a nice day.D. Have a nice dream.2. Why did no one laugh after hearing the translation of the jokes? ________A. The jokes were not funny at all.B. The author was not a good comedian.C. The audience couldn't get the humor inside.D. English was less humorous than Vietnamese.3. How does learning a new language improve creativity according to Paragraph 3? ________A. It enables a memory palace.B. It helps to build up a large vocabulary.C. Different memorization tactics inspire creativity.D. Different language structures strengthen creativity.4. What does the author think of learning a new language? ________A. Gift matters.B. Effort counts.C. Think it twice.D. It depends on tactics.参考答案Passage 11. D细节理解题。

Bernardo seldom cares about the kids.B. Bernardo dislikes living with his kids.C. Bernardo respects the opinion of his kids.D. Bernardo doesn't recognize his wife as a "real" stepmother.（2）What does the author think of her role in the family?A. She was totally favored by the kids.B. She has acted as an enemy of the kids.C. She didn't have any influence in the family.D. She was the communication bridgebetween kids and their father.（3）What's the author's advice for stepmothers in the last paragraph?A.

高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 160

高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 160Passage 1By now, we are all aware that social media has had a powerful influence on our culture, in business, on the world at large. Social media websites revolutionized the way people communicate and socialize on the Web. However, besides seeing your friends' new baby on Facebook, or reading about Justin Bieber's latest conflict with the law on Twitter, what are some of the real influences?Social networks offer the opportunity for people to reconnect with their old friends and acquaintances, make new friends, share ideas and pictures, and many other activities. Users can keep pace with the latest global and local developments, and take part in campaigns and activities of their choice. Professionals use social media sites like Linkedln to improve their career and business development. Students can work together with their peers to improve their academic and communication skills.Unfortunately, there are a few downsides too to social networking. If you are not careful, immoral people can target you for cyber bullying(网络欺凌) and disturbance on social sites. School children, young girls, and women can fall victim to online attacks which can create tension and suffering. If you are a victim of cyber bullying, do not take it lying down, but try to take appropriate legal action against the attacker.Many companies have blocked social networks as addicted employees can distract (分心)themselves on such sites, instead of focusing on work. In fact, studies show that British companies have lost billions of dollars per year in productivity because of social media addiction among employees.Also, what you carelessly post on the Net can come back to trouble you. Leaking personal information on social sites can make users easily harmed to crimes like identity theft, stalking(尾随犯罪), etc. Many companies perform a background check on the Web before hiring an employee. If a potential employee has posted something embarrassing on social media, it can greatly affect their chances of getting the job. The same holds true for our relationships too, as our loved ones and friends may get to know if we post something undesirable on social networks.Social media has its advantages and drawbacks as each coin has two sides. It is up to each user to use social sites wisely to improve their professional and social life, and exercise caution to ensure they do not fall victim to online dangers.1. Paragraph 2 mainly shows that social networks.A. benefit users in various waysB. offer professionals good chancesC. guide users to make right choicesD. help students finish their homework2. Faced with problems caused by social media, some companies.A. take legal action against the attackersB. avoid posting embarrassing informationC. refuse to hire potential addicted employeesD. forbid the use of social networks during work time3. The main purpose of this passage is to.A. remind people to wisely use social mediaB. provide some advice on social problemsC. raise public awareness of social problemsD. share experiences in using social media4. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?I: IntroductionP : Point Sp : Sub - point (次要点) C : ConclusionA. B.C. D.Passage 2Elephant Transit HomeIn both Africa and Asia elephants are being threatened by changes in their natural habitats. People are moving into the elephants’ habitats and endangering their survival. In the country of Sri Lanka, there is one place where elephants are not only protected but also respected. It is called the Elephant Transit Home (ETH).Set up in 1995, the ETH aims to protect and nurture baby elephants that are found injured or living without their mothers in the wild. Every year about 30 baby elephants in Sri Lanka need help. As many as possible are brought to the ETH. There they are given food, shelter, and medical care. Most importantly, they are given the chance to be with other elephants and become part of a herd (象群).A day at the ETH begins early in the morning when the baby elephants are given their first feeding of milk. During the day, each baby will drink an average of 13 gallons of milk. Older elephants are fed mostly coconut leaves and other native plants. Then the elephants are allowed to walk around, eating the grass and forming a herd. The cost of caring for the baby elephants is high. The ETH spends about $125,000 each year on powdered milk for the baby elephants.At the ETH, workers try to reduce human connection with the elephants. They also try to increase bonds (联系) between the elephants. It usually takes three years for a baby elephant to be set free into its natural habitat. The elephants are sent back to the wild together with other orphans with whom they have bonded. This program helps them return to the wild as members of a herd that will communicate with each other and take care of each other.The ETH is considered one of the best animal protection sites in the world. Not only are the elephants cared for, they are treated with respect. Most importantly, they go back to live in the wild, where they belong.1. What does the underlined word “nurture” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Set free.B. Care for.C. Focus on.D. Relate to.2. What do we know about the ETH?A. It receives about $125,000 each year.B. It is the largest animal protection site.C. It helps to keep baby elephants safe.D. It changes elephants’ habitats for the better.3. The workers reduce human connection with the elephants to ___________.A. train them to stay away from huntersB. provide them with more living spaceC. study them better in a natural environmentD. help them make it in the wild as a herd4. What’s the purpose of the passage?A. To show the ways of wildlife protection.B. To explain the threat baby elephants face.C. To introduce an animal protection project.D. To persuade the readers to protect elephants.Passage 3Like people from most countries, the people of the British Isles speak kinds of dialects. A dialect is a different version (版本) of a main language. It has different words and has something to do with the culture of the place in which it is spoken. It is usually spoken with a certain accent. Although it may be different, however, a dialect is usually not so different that an outsider can't understand what is being said.Speakers of dialects in Britain are often proud of them. For this reason, when you visit an area with a dialect, particularly when it is a place visited by tourists, gift stores will sell books about the local words.The dialects of Northern Ireland have a great many words that other Britons havenever heard of. An unusual example I recently learned from this part of the world is "boke", which means "vomit (呕吐)". The nearly poetic words of the Cockneys (伦敦东区的人) of the East End of London are famous throughout the word because they can be so clever and humorous. Here is a piece of rhyming slang (押韵俚语): A "whistle and flute" is cockney for "suit".It is true that there are fewer dialects in Britain today than there were a hundred years ago, and far fewer than there were 200 years ago. The reason is quite clear: The modern world and its opportunities (机会) for communication have made the differences between people much smaller. When people speak and listen to more people from a much larger area than their mothers and fathers did, the differences between the ways they speak get smaller.This means that there are now far fewer problems understanding each other when British people, say, from the outer Hebrides of Scotland speak with people from Cornwall in the southwest of the country. Also, English speakers from all over the world can generally understand each other. Of course, if dialects had not become less important, it would have been much more difficult for English as a second language to be such a big success all over the world!1. How do people in Britain usually feel about their dialects? ________A. They consider them useless.B. They often ignore them.C. They are ashamed of them.D. They take pride in them.2. How are dialects in Britain changing according to the text? ________A. The number of dialects is getting smaller.B. There won't be any dialects is in the near future.C. There are fewer dialects in Northern Ireland than in other parts.D. There were more dialects 100 years ago than there were 200 years ago.3. What is a result of the change in dialects spoken in Britain? ________A. It has caused people more problems in understanding each other.B. It has made the British culture much less attractive.C. It has played its part in helping English become a world language.D. It has created more opportunities for communication.4. The best title of the text would be ________.A. Dialect speakers in BritainB. Dialects in BritainC. The influence (影响) of British dialectsD. The future of British dialectsPassage 4First of all, I believe that in order to get we must be willing to give. And it works with love as well. The more of it you give away, the more of it you get back from others. Secondly, I am certain that love is not only a feeling but also an attitude. If you want to attract love into your life, you must be willing to think about it.Most people would not agree with me on that. They may say that they do thinkabout it more than anything else. But what kind of state are you in when you think about it? Most are unhappy and doubtful and they do not believe that they are going to achieve. Their thoughts on love are wrong. You have to be optimistic about it. You have to expect love and believe that it will come. And it will.Thirdly, love comes when you learn to excuse others. Do not keep hatred (仇恨)in your heart for it will destroy your ability to receive and give love. Try to forgive the person or people who have hurt you.Fourthly, do some love actions. Very often love is there, but you have to express it. Do something good for other people. Do something nice for the person whom you have warm feelings for. Do not rely only on thoughts and words. Move to actions and love will be there.So, I do believe that thoughts on love can help you have the most satisfactory love in the world.1. What does the underlined world "that" in Paragraph 3 probably refer to? ________A. Feeling love in your heart.B. Thinking more about love.C. Learning to love others.D. Getting love back from others.2. To get desirable love, we should________ .A. receive rather than give loveB. hate the ones who have hurt usC. express love with actionsD. pay more attention to our words3. The author's purpose in writing the text is________ .A. to tell a storyB. to advertise somethingC. to review somethingD. to give advicePassage 5Seventeen-year-old Sariah Estrada didn't expect to receive anything in return when she saved a drowning man on Marianne Beach in Blanchisseuse earlier this year.However, for her random (随意的) act of kindness, Estrada was awarded the Hummingbird Medal-Bronze for her bravery, loyalty and devotion to Trinidad and Tobago on Monday, September 24, when the country celebrated its 42nd year as a republic. President Paula-Mae Weekes presented the national award to her.In July of this year, Estrada along with two friends went to the Marianne Beach to relax. Upon leaving the beach, Estrada and her friends noticed a man struggling in the water. Immediately, she and her friends sprang into action. The teens borrowed a body board from some people on the beach and swam to the man's rescue.She said when they reached the man, he was already unconscious and they dragged him out of the water on the body board. Estrada remembered what she learned during a life-saving course the week before and quickly started pumping the man's chest. After several attempts, she was successful and the young man's life was saved.In an interview with LoopTT, the teenager said while she is grateful for the award, she wasn't expecting anything in return."This award was never expected because I thought of helping someone as an act of humanity and never looked for anything in return, but the award is well appreciated. As I reflect on the action I took, I felt as though I could help this person as I have the proper training. The week before the incident I participated in a basic life support﹣training course offered by the North Central Regional Health Authority. " Estrada explained. She said she intends to continue assisting people.The national award receiver also had this message for the youths of Trinidad and Tobago."I would like to encourage the young people of Trinidad and Tobago to strive for excellence, never sell yourself short by believing that you cannot do what you desire, all things are possible and hard work surely brings success.1. It can be learned from the passage that Estrada________ .A. saved the man by simply dragging him out of the waterB. shared the award with her friends for their heroic deedC. was motivated to save the drowning man by reputationD. owed the successful rescue to her proper training2. What do the underlined words "sell yourself short" in paragraph 8 probably mean? ________A. Think too highly of yourself.B. Accept yourself with pleasure.C. Recognize your strength and weakness.D. Have a low judgement of your ability.3. What is the message mainly conveyed in the passage? ________A. Random acts of kindness make all the difference in our life.B. Excellence is a continuous process and not an accident.C. Dreams and desires make the impossible possible.D. Success is based on the team not the individual.参考答案Passage 11. A主旨大意题。

高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 166

高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 166Passage 1The world is witnessing the worst refugee crisis(难民危机) since World War II. Tens of thousands of people are fleeing civil war and unrest(动荡) to find new homes in Europe — sometimes with sad consequences(后果).On Aug 27, Austrian officials found the dead bodies of 71 Syrian migrants(移民) in a deserted truck near Austrian-Hungarian border, just as European leaders were holding a meeting in Vienna to figure out how to deal with the refugee crisis. On the same day, 200 migrants were found dead and 200 rescued as two boats packed with refugees sank off the coast of Libya, according to media reports.The terms “migrant” and “refugee” are often used interchangeably. But there’s a big difference between them, says an article in the Atlantic magazine. Here is how the United Nations defines refugees:“Refugees are persons fleeing armed conflict( 武装冲突) or ill-treatment. Their situation is often so dangerous and intolerable that they cross national borders to search for safety in nearby countries. …These are people for whom denial(拒绝) of protection has possibly deadly consequences.”Migrants, on the other hand, move mainly to improve their lives by finding work, or for education, family reunion or other reasons, said the agency.Countries should offer refugees certain protections under their international treaty obligations(条约义务).This is why some states hesitate to admit those people who are fleeing unrest intheir home countries.When talking about refugee and immigration problems, many media outlets use “illegal immigrant”. Critics say that it gives the impression that it’s the person that is illegal rather than their actions. The UN and the EU parliament have called for an end to the phrase, the BBC reported.1. The differences between “refugee” and “migrant” are written with the purpose of _____.A. defining the two words clearlyB. indicating why some states are not willing to admit refugeesC. showing that refugees are more than migrantsD. urging European countries to accept more refugees2. According to the text “refugee” differs from “migrant” because _____.① they both cross national borders but with different purposes② refugees are illegal while migrants are legal③ refugees may face deadly consequences while migrants are relatively safe④ refugees are treated badly while migrants are highly respectedA. ①④B. ①③C. ②③④D. ①③④3. According to the text, what may be discussed in the next several paragraphs?A. Explanations for “illegal immigrant”.B. Examples about the refugee crisis in Europe.C. Measures to offer refugee protections.D. Causes of the refugee crisis in Europe.Passage 2Pitt Crawley was astonished to receive such a pleasant letter from his brother Rawdon Crawley. Jane was delighted, and expected that her husband Pitt would immediately divide his aunt’s inheritance (遗产) into two equal parts and send one to his brother.The brothers did not meet for some time, however. Since the death of Miss Crawley, Pitt and his wife had been living down at Queen’s Crawley with his father Sir Pitt Crawley.In fact, when the black-aged invitation to the funeral (葬礼) arrived in Curzon Street, the reactions (反应) were very far from sad.“We don’t have to go, do we, Becky?” Rawdon said. “Pitt bores me to death, and a carriage there and back will cost too much.”“Of course we’re going, you silly man!” cried Becky, jumping up in delight. “Your brother is now Sir Pitt, and a Member of Parliament. I want Lady Jane to present me at court next year, and I want Sir Pitt to get you a position of some importance — the Governor of the West Indies, or something like that. We must order our black clothes for the funeral at once.”“Litter Rawdy comes too, of course,” said her husband.“Of course not! Why pay for a third seat in the carriage?”It was a great moment when the two Crawley brothers met again at last. The new Sir Pitt shook his brother warmly by the hand, while Lady Jane took both Becky’s hands, and kissed her.This mark of kindness brought tears to Becky’s eyes, which was a rare event. When Lady Jane took Becky to her room, Becky at once began work on earning her sister-in-law’s approval.“What I should like to do first,” Becky said, in a soft little voice, “is to see your dear little children.”This request pleased Lady Jane very much. She led Becky away to meet her daughter and son, aged four and two, and in no time at all, she and Becky were close friends.“You must be so sad,” Lady Jane said sympathetically, “to have left your little boy in London.”“Dear, dear Rawdy!” sighed Becky. “I miss him so much.”It was fortunate that her husband did not hear this remark. He was very fond of his son. He saw Rawdy every day at home, brought him presents and toys and played with him whenever he could. His mother took no notice of the boy at all. When he cried at night, it was a servant who came and took him to her room to comfort him.Rawdon and Becky spent several days at Queen’s Crawley, and it was time well spent. Lady Jane thought Becky was delightful, and Sir Pitt also approved of her. She had shown interest in his ambitions (抱负) for government, and made admiring comments on his political ideas, which he had found very agreeable.Becky was glad to escape from playing the part of a dutiful sister-in-law — listening with interest to dull conversations, inspecting the fruit garden, visiting sick villagers with soup and encouragement.Lord Steyne was one of Becky’s admirers in London. High-society women still ignored her, but the men crowded to Mrs Crawley’s little house, Many of them lost money at the card-tables to Colonel Crawley. Not Lord Steyne, however, who was no fool. Becky amused Lord Steyne. He admired her charm and her intelligence and her cunning, which he saw was equal to his own, and her artful lies gave him much entertainment. He laughed a great deal at Becky’s account of her time at Queen’s Crawley.“I should like to see you visiting the sick,” he said, “and being polite to those dull relations of your husband’s.”Lord Steyne laughed again. “You were bored to tears by them all. Come now, admit it, Mrs Crawley!”Becky gave a wicked little smile.1. Why did Becky do lots of things against her will at Queen’s Crawley?A. To show concern for her relatives.B. To bring out her talents.C. To win Jane’s and Pitt’s favor.D. To kill the boring time.2. From the underlined sentence, we can conclude that ________.A. Becky told a lie, which would surprise RawdonB. Becky worried this remark would annoy RawdonC. Rawdon, like Becky, missed their son RawdyD. Rawdon took no notice of the remark3. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. Becky was a devoted motherB. Lady Jane was kind and generousC. Lord Steyne was worth relying onD. Rawdon was as intelligent as Becky4. Lord Steyne admired Becky for ________.a. her intelligenceb. her charmc. kindnessd. wicked smileA. acB. abC. bcD. bdPassage 3First of all, I believe that in order to get we must be willing to give. And it works with love as well. The more of it you give away, the more of it you get back from others.Secondly, I am certain that love is not only a feeling but also an attitude. If you want to attract love into your life, you must be willing to think about it.Most people would not agree with me on that. They may say that they do think about it more than anything else.

Move to actions and love will be there.So, I do believe that thoughts on love can help you have the most satisfactory love in the world.1. What does the underlined world "that "in Paragraph 3 probably refer to? ________A. Feeling love in your heart.B. Thinking more about love.C. Learning to love others.D. Getting love back from others.2. To get desirable love, we should________ .A. receive rather than give love.B. hate the ones who have hurt us.C. express love with actions.D. pay more attention to our words.3. The author's purpose in writing the text is________ .A. to tell a story.B. to advertise something.C. to review something.D. to give advice.Passage 4It was ugly. It was the worst Christmas present I had ever received. I quickly pretended joy. After all, Michael, my four-year-old son, had bought it at his school's Christmas market."I bought it for you, mama, " he said, offering it up to me, face smiling, eyes big,blue and bright. "We'll. . . put it. . . here…on. . . on the. . . kitchen table, " I said.The rest of the house was filled with beautiful, natural materials from the garden. In the summer, I operated a garden gift shop at the bottom of my yard. I also hosted an open house on the main floor of our home in late November, featuring high-end gifts for gardeners as well as natural items. And each year, I proved unique and attractive ways to bring the outdoors in with wonderful, creative decorating ideas. How uncomfortably my son's addition looked in the middle of all the natural beauty.Soon my older children burst through the door, excited to tell the adventures of their day and show their valuable things. Within seconds, the kitchen table was loaded with treats: cheerfully decorated cupcakes, a couple of packages of homemade sweets, candy canes, and a few of the small crafts some of the moms had prepared for the kids to buy with their allowance money."Where are the rest of things you bought? " I asked Michael, hoping hadn't eaten them at school or on the way home. ""I spent all my money on your presents, " he said proudly. "You spent all your money on me? " I asked, unbelieving that a four-year-old boy would avoid candy and cupcakes and crafty (巧妙的) creations designed with kid-appeal in order to buy a present for his mom. Ugliness suddenly turned into beauty. Overjoyed, I hugged both my son and his gift.1. When Michael gave the gift the mom, he felt ________ .A. proudB. nervousC. shyD. embarrassed2. According to paragraph 3, Michael's gift ________ .A. added beauty to the natural roomB. was out of place in the roomC. was a sign of high-end giftsD. decorated the room in a unique way3. What might be the most suitable title for the passage? ________A. The Most Beautiful Ugliest GiftB. The Christmas Gift from My SonC. The Cheapest Gift for MomD. The Gift of a Sincere MindPassage 5One winter Sunday, my little sister, Colleen, and I built the greatest snowman ever. We gave him a traditional carrot nose, cool hat, comfortable scarf and gloves on the end of his stick arms. He was a masterpiece (杰作).The next morning when looking outside, we smiled lovingly at him over our meal. We gave him a high﹣five as we passed by on our way to school. A lot of kids went past our house, so he was the hot topic at our school that morning. My sister and I generously shared our professional (专业的) snowman-building suggestions and techniques with our classmates.The day dragged on until finally we could rush home. But as our yard came into sight, we saw something that wasn't right. The snowman was gone! We only found a broken stick here, a torn glove there and balls of snow everywhere. Worst of all, the snowman's once﹣proud carrot nose lay half﹣eaten.What had happened? We knew only one thing: our snowman would rise again. And so we rebuilt him. The next day we came home to find another mess on the front lawn (草坪). For the rest of the week, the destruction was repeated daily. Each afternoon we'd return to find our snowman fallen apart, and then we would build him up again.By Saturday morning, we had a plan. We borrowed a really big bucket (桶) from Mom, filled It with water and left it outside. The next morning, it was frozen solid. We packed snow all around the ice block for the base of the snowman. Then we built the other parts of it once again. The trap was set, and we waited for the snowman bullies (破坏者) to come.Monday morning, looking out of the window, we soon saw what we were waiting for.A group of fifth﹣grade bullies came up to our snowman and sneered (轻蔑地笑). Taking their places on all sides, they pulled back their legs to deliver strong kicks. But when their feet hit hard ice block, sneers turned to surprise, then pain and then tears.We came close to feeling sorry for them, but they were too funny as they jumped away holding their Damaged feet.

I looked over at one edge of the quilt being sewed and saw a piece of thread 2 . Without thinking I reached over to 3 it.“No!” yelled my mum. I jumped back. That was the first time I can ever remember her yelling at me. Seeing the 4 look on my face, she smiled and 5 showed me why she had yelled.

If I had pulled it out, I might have torn the entire quilt and 7 hours of work.As I look back on that 8 today, I can see that each of our lives is like that 9 . We are all just a 10 string in the tapestry (挂毯) of life. We can’t always 11 where we are going or what we are connected to. If we pull ourselves out of it, we will leave a 12 in it.Don’t feel lost in the tapestry of life then. Embrace your 13 in it.

They waited worriedly at their desks for the test to begin. The professor 1 the question papers, with the paper facing down as usual. After he gave them all out, he asked his students to 2 the paper and begin. To everyone's surprise, there were no 3 , just a black dot in the center of the page. The professor, seeing the 4 on everyone's face, told them the following:"I want you to write what you 5 there."The students got started on the inexplicable (费解的) task.At the end of the class, the professor 6 all the answer papers and started reading each one of them aloud in front of all the students. All of them, with no 7 , described the black dot, trying to explain its 8 in the middle of the sheet, etc. After all had been 9 , the classroom was silent, and the professor began to 10 :"I' m not going to grade this 11 wanted to give you something to think about. No one wrote about the 12 part of the paper. Everyone focused on the black dot, and the same happens in our 13 . We have a white paper to observe, but we always focus on the dark spots.

The search for food is the 1 human behavior. Thus, 2 food were easier to get and prepare, it would be really 3 for humankind. It would reduce a great burden(负担). The development of processed foods(加工食品) has made food easier to get and prepare. 4 every coin has two sides. Apart from its advantages, the 5 of cooking also has its disadvantages.Though processed foods seem a great way to save 6 , they offer much less nutritional(营养的)value than traditional foods. People today are so 7 that they are not able to spend enough time preparing their food. As a result, many people 8 to eat processed foods, ready-to-cookmeals and various fast foods. But what will 9 if one eats such food all year round? It will damage your 10 . The nutritional value of the food is not so high. Worse still, research shows that preservatives(防腐剂)used in these foods are 11 to children. That’s why health experts warn people not to eat too much of such 12 food.Besides, since people spend little time 13 food, the culture of cooking is slowly 14 . Cooking is not done just to satisfy hunger; it is also a(n) 15 form of art. Across the world, there are thousands of 16 cooking styles. If young people are used to processed foods, few of them will develop great cooking 17 . And when they become parents, it will be hard for their children to enjoy a(n) 18 homecooked meal. What’s more, cooking is a great time for 19 to connect. There is a lot of 20 when family members are preparing food together.In a word, I believe though processed food has made the preparation of food much easier, it has not been a good step for humankind.1．A．special B．basic C．right D．valuable 2．A．though B．before C．if D．unless 3．A．dangerous B．helpful C．troublesome D．surprising 4．A．So B．And C．But D．Or 5．A．easiness B．safety C．method D．difficulty 6．A．energy B．food C．money D．time7．A．rich B．strange C．smart D．busy 8．A．choose B．dislike C．refuse D．stop 9．A．change B．happen C．get D．offer 10．A．future B．memory C．brain D．health 11．A．harmful B．useless C．meaningful D．necessary 12．A．cold B．sweet C．unhealthy D．hot 13．A．heating B．finding C．preparing D．storing 14．A．varying B．dying C．appearing D．developing 15．A．important B．famous C．simple D．new 16．A．regular B．ordinary C．different D．similar 17．A．knowledge B．lessons C．interests D．skills 18．A．delicious B．clean C．expensive D．cheap 19．A．patients B．friends C．families D．cooks 20．A．success B．work C．progress D．fun【答案】1．B2．C3．B4．C5．A6．D7．D8．A9．B10．D11．A12．C13．C14．B15．A16．C17．D18．A19．C20．D6．In our discussion with people on how education can help them succeed in life, a woman remembered the first meeting of an introductory 1 course about 20 years ago.The professor 2 the lecture hall, placed upon his desk a large jar filled with dried beans(豆), and invited the students to 3 how many beans the jar contained. After 4 shouts of wildly wrong guesses the professor smiled a thin, dry smile, announced the 5 answer, and went on saying, “You have just 6 an important lesson about science. That is: Never 7 your own senses.”Twenty years later，the 8 could guess what the professor had in mind. He 9 himself, perhaps, as inviting his students to start an exciting 10 into an unknown world invisible to the 11 ， which can be discovered only through scientific 12 . But the seventeen－year－old girl could not accept or even 13 the invitation. She was just 14 to understand the world.And she 15 that her first－hand experience could be the 16 . The professor, however, said that it was 17 .

高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 68Passage 1Professor Martin's report says that children who attend a number of different schools, because their parents have to move around the country, probably make slow progress in their studies. There are also signs, says Professor Martin, that an unusually large number of such children are mentally affected.The professor says. "It's true, my personal feeling is that children should stay in one school. However, our findings are based on research and not on any personal feelings that I or my assistants may have on the subject. "Captain Thomas James, an Army lecturer for the past 20 years and himself a father of two, said, "I've never heard of such rubbish. Taking me for example, no harm is done to the education of my children, who change schools regularly—if they keep to the same system, as in our Army schools. In my experience—and I've known quite a few of them—Army children are as well-adjusted(调整) as any others, if not more so. What the professor doesn't appear to appreciate is the fact that in such situation children will adapt much better than grown-ups. "When this reached Professor Martin, he said that at no time had his team suggested that all children were backward or mentally affected in some way, but simply that in their experience there was a clear tendency. "Our findings show that while the very bright children can deal with regular changes without harming his or her general progress in studies, the majority of children suffer from constantly having to enter a new learning situation. "1. Professor Martin's report suggests that________ .A. it may not be good for children to change schools too oftenB. parents should not move oftenC. more and more children are mentally affectedD. children will make rapid progress if they stay in one school2. According to the passage, Professor Martin's personal feeling________ .A. is the opposite of what his report has shownB. is in some way supported by his researchC. has played a big part in his researchD. is based on the experience of his own children3. From the passage, we can conclude that Captain James' children________ .A. have been affected by changing schoolsB. have not been affected by changing schoolsC. live every army school they have been inD. discuss their education regularly with their father4. According to Professor Martin, ________ suffer from changing schools regularly.A. army childrenB. quite a few childrenC. bright childrenD. few children5. Captain Thomas believe________ .A. army children are generally better adjusted than any othersB. army children are usually less experienced than any othersC. children can adapt more easily and quickly than grow-upsD. children can adapt as easily and quickly as grown-upsPassage 2I remember when my sister began playing the violin, she was 7. I was 9 and had been playing the piano for 2 years. How did she sound? Appalling. Diane didn't like the way she sounded, either. Practicing often left her in tears. But she didn't quit. She loved playing the violin.I was better at my instrument than she was at hers. Not only did I have those two years on it, but I also had talent. My teacher had told my family that I had great potential(潜力), and I practiced every day. I went to music camps. I performed at recitals, even though I hated them. I got better and better.Everyone agreed my sister didn't have talent, but she loved playing it. I didn't love making music as much as she did, but because I was the talented sister, everyone encouraged me to continue.Nobody encouraged Diane, but she kept at it anyway. She continued with her lessons. She practiced. She got better.At 12, she asked our parents if she could attend a full-time music school, and they said no. She wasn't good enough, they told her, to hope to make a living as a professional musician. Sending her off to a music school would be a waste of time and money.At the same time, I'd discovered the British TV show The Avengers. I loved the show and watched it faithfully. It was broadcast every Saturday at 3 p. m. EverySaturday at 3, I was in front of the TV. I let nothing interfere with my "Avengers" hour.When I was 13, my parents arranged an audition for me with the best piano teacher in the area, and he agreed to take me on as a student. There was just one problem. The only time he can teach me was at 3 on Saturday afternoons,I turned down this amazing opportunity. Sure, I wanted to be a better pianist, but I wanted to watch my show more.My parents were floored. They didn't understand. But they couldn't make me. I'd finally figured out that just because you can do something really well doesn't mean that you have to.I continued to play, but not frequent. At last, I stopped taking lessons. Today, I don't even have a piano in my house.My sister continued with the violin. Nobody encouraged her to become a musician. In fact, our parents actively discouraged her. She became an engineer, and then a wife and mom. But she never stopped making music. She played music at home with other amateur musicians. She played for the local community theaters and she continued to take lessons.When she was in her 40s, my sister changed her career. She went back to school and got a degree in music education. Now she is a music teacher. She starts kids out on their first instrument and gives them all the support and encouragement she never get.And, of course, she continues to play.Recently, she and a pianist friend decided to put on a recital at a performance space at a local college. A big crowd of friends and family turned up to listen to her play.She was wonderful. As she played, I looked around at the audience. Everyone was clearly enjoying the music. It occurred to me that I was the only person in this room who remembered that 7-year-old kid making those really awful sounds. I was the only one who knew how fat she had come.1. What does the underlined word "Appalling" in the first paragraph mean? ________A. Loud.B. Awful.C. Exciting.D. Wonderful.2. What is the difference between the writer and Diane? ________A. The gift for music.B. The desire for performance.C. The age of starting practicing.D. The guidance of a good musician.3. Why did the writer refuse to learn from the best piano teacher? ________A. She didn't want to be a better pianist.B. She found it a waste of time and money.C. She wanted to watch her favorite TV program.D. She thought she had no potential to be a good musician.4. How did her parents feel after she turned down the best teacher? ________A. Puzzled.B. Interested.C. Angry.D. Frightened.5. In what way did Diane help her students most in music? ________A. She invites them to play music at home.B. She introduces them to amateur musicians.C. She gives them encouragement and support.D. She teaches them how to play musical instruments.6. What did the writer learn from Diane's performance? ________A. Some people are born with talent in music.B. Music is a medium of spreading love to others.C. A hobby of loving music changes a person's life.D. Love for something is more important than talent.Passage 3"Ready? ""Ready. ""Now? ""Soon. ""Do the scientists really know? Will it happen today, will it? ""Look, look; see for yourself!"It rained.It had been raining for seven years; thousands upon thousands of days filled from one end to the other with rain, with the drum of water, with the sweet crystal fall of showers and the continuous storms so heavy that huge waves over the islands. A thousand forests had been destroyedunder the rain and grown up a thousand times to be destroyed again. And this was the way life was forever on the planet Venus, and thiswas the schoolroom of the children of the rocket men and women who had come to a raining world to set up civilization (文明) and live out their lives."It's stopping, it's stopping!""Yes, yes!"Margot stood apart from them, from these children who could never remember a time when there wasn't rain and rain and rain. They were all nine years old, and if there had been a day, seven years ago, when the sun came out for an hour and showed its face to the stunned world, they could not remember.Sometimes, at night, she heard them stir, in remembrance, and she knew they were dreaming and remembering gold or a yellow crayon or a coin large enough to buy the world with. She knewthey thought they remembered a warmness, like a blushing in the face, in the body, in the arms and legs and trembling hands. But then they always awoke to the endless shaking down of clearbead (珠子) necklaces upon the roof, the walk, the gardens, the forests, and their dreams were gone.Now the rain was getting lighter, and the children were crushed in the great thick windows.Margot stood alone. She was a very frail girl who looked as if she had been lost in the rain for years and the rain had washed out the blue from her eyes and the red from her mouth and the yellow from her hair. Now she stood, separate, staring at the rain and the loud wet world beyond the huge glass."What're you looking at? " said William.Margot said nothing."Speak when you're spoken to. " He gave her a shove (推搡). But she did not move; rather she let herself be moved only by him and nothing else.They edged away from her, they would not look at her. She felt them go away. And this was because she would play no games with them in the echoing tunnels of the underground city. If they tagged her and ran, she stood after them and did not follow. When the class sang songs about happiness and life and games her lips barely moved. Only when they sang about the sun andthesummer did her lips move as she watched the windows.And then, of course, the biggest crime of all was that she had come here only five years ago from Earth, and she remembered the sun and the way the sun was and the sky was when she wasfour in Ohio. And they, they had been on Venus all their lives, and they had been only two yearsold when last the sun came out and had long since forgotten the color1 and heat of it and the way it really was. But Margot remembered.1. By "a coin large enough to buy the world with", the author suggest________ .A. the coin used on VenusB. a child's color1ed pencilC. the high price of VenusD. a child's drawing of the sun2. The children disliked Margot mainly because she________ .A. was older than they wereB. liked the continuous rainC. knew what the sun look likeD. had brought the rain with her3. The underlined phrase "Margot stood apart from them" suggests she stayed away from them. All the following sentences suggest the same thing EXCEPT "________ ".A. she felt them go away.B. Her lips hardly moved.C. she stood after them and did not follow.D. she would play no games with them.4. Which of the following can be the best title of the text? ________A. Margot RememberedB. The RainC. The OutsiderD. The Sun Never ComesPassage 4Ninety-five percent of American families are now online, with adults spending averagely five hours a day at home on the computer, which greatly influences their life, according to a new study. Yes, we’re connecting more with friends, but we’re also having dinner quickly so we can update our Facebook status. Does your life suffer from too much time spent online, and do you properly protect your family’s identity when you share their information online? Here’s how to take control of them.According to Sherry Turkle, professor of psychology at MIT, many people use their computers to avoid the messiness of real life. It’s difficult to refuse a friend, but it’s easy to send out an e-mail to do that. When you find yourself hiding behind your screen, make an effort to reconnect with people face to face. “It’s not because the technologyis bad,” says Turkle. “It’s a matter of figuring out its place.”Proud parents can’t help posting photos of their kids. But publicly sharing your kids’ information, such as your child’s full name, birth date, and place of residence could put him in danger. To avoid the risk, invite the people you know well to view the photos on password-protected (加密的) websites such as Flickr and Snapfish. If you use Facebook, create a group of your inner circle specially for sharing photos and news of your kids.Need a handy way to measure your family’s online habits? Check out the family plan on rescuetime. com. It tracks how each member of your family spends time online, and it shows the data by hour, day, and week. The website, which also offers personal plans, even allows you to block distracting (分心的) websites from your loved ones and yourself.If reaching for your phone to check for messages and e-mails has become an uncontrollable habit, try this trick. Keep your devices on but turn off every message reminding, vibration (振动), and so on. Check for updates only when you finish a task.1. Sherry Turkle probably agrees that ________.A. Internet is just a tool for peopleB. people have to know their social statusC. technology can help improve friendshipD. going online helps people lead a happier life2. How are family members’ online habits tracked by rescuetime. com?A. By offering plans and blocking unsafe websites.B. By blocking unwanted contact and information.C. By tracking their online time and sorting out data.D. By making plans and storing collected data.3. What can be the best title for the text?A. Important Tips on Protecting Online InformationB. How to Take Control of Families’ Technology TimeC. Key Advice on How to Avoid Unsafe WebsitesD. How to Break Away from Bad Online HabitsPassage 5No doubt there are ups and downs in life. Whatever the situation is, you shouldn’t lose your joy of life. Life is for a limited period only and no one knows how long he/she will live, so why do you waste your precious time in worrying about the things that are beyond your control? Be happy, and enjoy your life unconditionally (无条件地).You enjoy good days but you also need to learn how to enjoy bad days, even enjoy your pain. In 2016 when I was in Geneva, Switzerland, I suffered a sudden heart attack. My colleagues called an ambulance and I was taken to hospital with much pain in my chest. Before reaching hospital, I was totally exhausted with pain and was going to lose control of my emotions. Then the doctor in the ambulance said, “Don’t worry; you are in safe hands.” His words took away all my pain because I started realizing that it was no time to worry about pain and it’s time to be happy that my life was safe. At that time, I learnt an important lesson that in pain there is a hidden joy and whoever sees the brightside can enjoy pain. My pain turned into a joy which greatly helped me recover more quickly than expected.You not only enjoy success but you also need to learn to enjoy failure. Failure provides you with an opportunity to benefit from so many choices you’ve made. Celebrating failure will raise your morale and make you more powerful and determined to achieve success. We all make mistakes in life but only the courageous (勇敢的) people not only laugh at their own mistakes but also let other people laugh at them and then they reach success without any spiritual burden (负担). A person who learns from mistakes and knows how to turn the bad situation into his/her favor is the most intelligent person and really enjoys his/her life.1. What does the author mainly tell us in the first paragraph?A. Life is full of ups and downs.B. People’s lives only last a limited period.C. We should enjoy our life unconditionally.D. Bad situations can be changed into good ones.2. Why did the author still feel happy when experiencing much pain?A. His colleagues were always with him.B. He could be looked after by his parents.C. He planned to enjoy the last days in life.D. His doctor made him realize the value of being alive.3. The underlined word “morale” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”.A. talentB. confidenceC. pleasureD. inspiration4.

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇To develop one's taste in English, the most effective way is to read English books extensively. Yet one may be at a loss to choose the appropriate books, especially as a beginner. As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my experience.My first English novel was Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But my experience was somewhat disastrous. I had great difficulty in understanding the novel, let alone enjoying it. It's not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen constructs sentences, and her way of thinking, which seemed too remote to me at that time. My fading enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingway's novel A Farewell to Arms. No long and complicated sentences. And I particularly liked his brief and straightforward (简洁的) style. So my first suggestion is, as a beginner, you'd better choose contemporary novels instead of classical ones. However, if you restrict yourself to novels you will miss a lot of treasures. English essays can at once inform you, entertain you, and improve your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell's work. Its language is plain, yet you cannot help feeling the elegance and the peculiar sense of humor. His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people. Here comes my second suggestion — essays are indispensable.Never follow others' recommendations and opinions blindly, however famous or influential (有很大影响的) the person might be. We should be open to various ideas, but always think and determine for ourselves. As a saying goes, one man's meat is another man's poison. With that in mind, we are bound to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English.1．What made the first English novel that the author read hard to understand? A．Complicated conversations.B．Sentences and Austen's thinking pattern.C．The old-fashioned vocabulary.D．Not knowing the social background.2．Which can best replace the underlined word "indispensable"?A．Necessary B．Challenging C．Relevant D．Inspirational 3．What advice does the author give in the last paragraph?A．Choose books that challenge us most.B．Read books that are instructive.C．Don't be affected by others' choices.D．Compare books before buying.4．What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?A．Give comments on literature works.B．Tell beginners how to choose English books.C．Encourage people to read more English books.D．Recommend first class books to English learners.【答案】1．B2．A3．C4．B【分析】本文是一篇说明文。

高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 67Passage 1For many people, moths are swarming, dust-colared pests that eat our clothes and disturb us by flying around lights after dark. Not for artist Joseph Scheer. The images he creates bring out the beauty of moths, with color1s, shapes, and patterns that have never before been seen so clearly. "Digital tools let you see things you'd never see just looking with your eyes, " Scheer says. Scheer's images have been displayed around the world, and one reaction is heard everywhere: "People insist, "No, that can't be a moth, " says Scheer One Swiss viewer credited the insects' lovely variety to their exotic American origin: "We don't have such nice moths in our country" he declared. In fact, every country has moths that can amaze.The process began with a moth hunt in the state of New York. Scheer would leave the lightson and the windows open overnight at his university office, then collect the moths that had flownin when he returned in the morning. When the building cleaners at the university complained, he moved the hunt to his friend Mark Klingensmith's yard. "Mark's a gardener with lots of stuff growing on his property, " Scheer says. "Moths like it. " They set up two lights shining over a plastic container on a white sheet. Then they watched, surprised, as moths appeared from the darkness, flew carelessly into the sheet, and fell into the plastic container. "We got a different species every night that first season, " Scheer says. "The patterns and color1s were overwhelming. "Using a powerful scanner designed for camera film, they were able to capture detailed pictures of moths. Small moths present special challenges. "One twitich of thefinger and there goes a wing, " says Scheer. "I try to drink less coffee when I'm working on them"The scanner records so much information that a single moth can take 20 minutes to scan. A scan of just two small moths fills an entire CD. All that information means the size of the image can be increased 2, 700 percent but still retain all the details and appear perfectly clear. You'd need amicroscope to see the details shown in Scheer's prints.Scheer's work is not only a new form of art. He can also be congratulated for making a valuable contribution to the record of moths where he lives. He has helped identify more than a thousand different species. "Not from Alaska or the Amazon, " Klingensmith says. "All from one backyard. "1. What do people mean by saying "No, that can't be a moth. "? ________A. The images are not those of moths.B. The moths can only be found in American.C. The images seem too beautiful to be moths.D. The moths can't be found everywhere.2. It can be inferred that Scheer tried to drink less coffee when he was arranging moths on a scanner in order to________ .A. keep his eyes focusedB. keep his fingers twitchedC. keep his hands stillD. keep his mind clear3. The underlined word "overwhelming" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to________ .A. interestingB. amazingC. confusingD. discouraging4. The images keep all the details even when increased 2, 700 percent because________ .A. there is a great deal of information on the CDB. the moths have very bright color1s and clear patternsC. high quality paint is used to create imagesD. a microscope is used to examine the details of imagesPassage 2Ben walked quietly. He wanted to surprise the hunter. But then, what would he do?Suddenly he heard a bird's wings beating the dry grass. Ben moved quickly toward the sound.He saw a colored head……the head of a beautiful bird. The bird did not move until Ben came close. Then it tried to fly away, but one wing was broken.Ben lifted the bird and held it close against his body. The bird fought to escape, but soon lay quietly in Ben's arms.Ben decided to take the bird home and fix its broken wings so that it could fly again.He was almost out of the woods when he heard the hunter behind him. "Youjust found that bird? " the hunter asked."Yes, "Ben answered."It is mine!"Ben was afraid and tried to answer, but his mouth was too dry to speak. Nevertheless, he w etted his lips and said, "No. ""I shot him and I say he is mine!""But he is not dead yet, " Ben answered, "and besides, anything on my land belongs to me. "The hunter looked down at the little man and smiled. "Say, who are you? "Ben's voice shook with both fear and anger. "I own this land. There are signs everywhere that say, 'No hunting'. ""No need to get angry, mister, " the hunter said. "Control yourself. "There was something threatening in the man's cool quiet voice. And he had a gun. His arms were free and Ben's were not.The hunter stepped closer and said, "Give me that bird!"Ben was white with anger. "No!" he answered. His eye glasses became wet and he had to look over the top of them to see the other man."Give me the bird and I will go away, " the hunter said."You get off my land, " Ben told him. "Get off right now……you do not belong here!"The man's face got red. "Mister, " he said, "I have been hunting here all my life. I grew up here. ""That is a thing of the past, " Ben said. "I do not know who you are and I do not care. I own this place now and I am telling you to leave. You go back through the woods and get off my land!""Now look, mister, " the hunter said, "be reasonable. "The hunter raised his gun.A cold wind blew across Ben's face. He looked into the hunter's gray eyes. Ben was frightened. It was not too late, he thought. He could still give the bird to the hunter and return safely home……that would end this whole ugly business.The bird struggled weakly and made a wild, strange noise.Then Ben knew he could never give this bird to the hunter. This feeling gave Ben great strength, and he was no longer afraid."I will never let you kill this bird, " he said. "Get away from here. If you try to take this bird, I will fight……you have a gun and you are bigger, but that does not worry me. You will never get this bird……you will have to kill me first. "The two men looked at each other. Ben's fear returned. His knees began to shake and he felt sick. Yet he stood straight, wondering what would happen next.They stood close to each other for a long time. The woods were strangely quiet. Then the hunter's rough voice broke the silence."You are a fool. "And then to Ben's surprise, he slowly walked away.Ben watched until he was gone. His arms hurt, his body felt wet and cold.1. Why did the hunter smile when saying "Say, who are you"(Paragraph 13)? ________ .A. He was amused at Ben's reply and interested in himB. He wanted to confirm Ben's identity in a friendly wayC.

It can be learned from the passage that ________ ?A. Ben held out to the end.B. Ben never thought of giving in.C. Ben was willing to compromise.D. Ben was sure about his victory.Passage 3When I was only 3 years old, my mother taught me to memorize and recite poems. She was my first teacher of the arts, and my father was the first to appreciate my performance. Even at that young age, I had a simple understanding of how art and culture affect us as human beings and how we can connect to each other through the arts, which shapes my life to this day.When I was growing up, my parents supported my interest in taking acting classes and doing community theater. Their faith in me and the professional (专业的) training I was getting from my theater teachers gave me a sense of purpose and a sense of self-confidence. I learned what artistic achievement actually was and what hard work the business was. While many people see the rosy picture of our business, I was really learning what it would require for me to become a professional.I became an actress, but arts education isn’t just about preparing our young people for a job in the arts. I recently talked to some of the kids attending theater education. Some of them want to work in theater, and some don't. They are learning not only theater skills, but also about the world around them. They learn about discipline(纪律) and hard work and what's required and what they have to do to bring themselves to the work. They learn how they can be of service in the world through the arts. They learn how to work with a team. By studying the arts, these students are open to worlds and lives that they might not have any other way of knowing about or any other way to connect with in their lives the way they are right now.These young people are our future. We are passing the torch to them. And I think that's one of the most important reasons why we need to foster(培养)the arts.1. When the writer was 3 years old, she________ .A. learned many kinds of artsB. did well in communicationC. recited poems to her fatherD. had a deep understanding of arts2. What does the underlined word "rosy" in Paragraph 2 probably mean? ________A. brightB. funnyC. terribleD. hopeless3. What can be inferred from the second paragraph? ________A. It was hard for the writer to start business.B. It is not easy for one to succeed in arts field.C. parents' faith is a must for one to be professional.D. The writer's self-confidence led to her artistic achievement.4. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following statements is TRUE? ________A. Attending theatre education does the kids much good.B. Students studying the arts should travel around the world.C. Discipline and hard work are not included in arts education.D. Arts education can only prepare the youth for jobs in the arts.5. What is the text mainly about? ________A. Where to get arts education.B. when kids should learn arts.C. How to improve arts education.D. why arts education counts.Passage 4A MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.Alex Goldberg, the program’s founder, said:”We set up Young Inspirations becausewe wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.”“We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, we’ve secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda.”“At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.” Kieran Hepburn,14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛).The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. “Before we left I didn’t quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn’t stop, it was amazing,” he said, “We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.”The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse,violence and unemployment.Kieran said, “It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.1. The Young Inspirations mentoring program aims to ____.A. train staff for world-famous firmsB. offer job opportunities to young adultsC. provide youth with unique experiencesD. equip the unemployed with different skills2. According to Alex Goldberg, it is difficult for schools to offer the mentoring due to ____.A. the lack of support from firmsB. the cultural differencesC. the effect of unemploymentD. the shortage of money3. We can learn from the passage that ____.A. the visit to the United Kingdom was amazingB. Kieran has made great progress in many aspectsC. the youth have found a way to solve their problemsD. the mentoring sessions are held every day except Friday4. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Alex Goldberg, Founder of Young InspirationsB. Young People Find a World of OpportunityC. Kieran, Banbury School Pupil to ParisD. Debates Help Youth with Their GradesPassage 5There was great excitement on the planet of Venus (金星). Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since.The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan, named after the great Venusian astronomer Professor Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20,000 light years away.Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to feasibility (可行性) of a manned flying saucer landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology.“We have come to the conclusion, based on last week’s satellite landing,” Prof. Zog said, “that there is no life on Earth.”“How do you know this?” the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked.“For one thing, Earth’s surface in the area of Manhattan is made up of solid concrete and nothing can grow there. For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive.”“What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned?”“We shall have to take our own oxygen with us, which means a much heavier flying saucer than originally planned.”“Are there any other dangers that you discovered in your studies?”“Take a look at this photo. You see this dark black cloud hovering (盘旋) over the surface of Earth. We don’t know what it is made of,but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have further tests before we send a Venus Being there.”“Over here you will notice what seems to be a river, but the satellite findings indicate it is polluted and the water is unfit to drink. This means we shall have to carry our own water,which will add even greater weight to the saucer.”“If all you say is true, won’t this set back the flying saucer program several years?”“Yes, but we shall continue as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds,” Professor. Zog replied.1. According to the passage, the Venusian scientists succeeded in getting important information about ____.A. the feasibility of landing a satellite on EarthB. the possibility of making a first-rate flying saucerC. the feasibility of sending a Venus Being to EarthD. the possibility of directing a flying saucer into Manhattan2. Why will the Venusian have to take their own oxygen with them when they carry out their flying saucer program?A. Because they need it on their way to the planet of Earth.B. Because the Earth’s atmosphere is filled with deadly gases.C. Because there is a low level of oxygen for Venusians.D. Because there is no air on the planet of Earth.3. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.A. landing a manned flying saucer on Earth will be carried out soonB. Venusians will land on Earth to help to stop serious pollutionC. it’s unnecessary to land a manned flying saucer on Earth at presentD. pollution on Earth makes it impossible for Venusians to survive there4. Where can you probably read such a passage?A. In a popular magazine.B. In a fairy tale.C. In an observation journal.D. In science fiction.参考答案Passage 11. C细节理解题。

高一英语阅读理解强化训练附解析Day 62Passage 1A group of sweaty kids ran around a field last week at Total Soccer Arena in Landover, Maryland. They talked in English,but also in Pashto, Arabic and other languages.What made them different is that all of the kids are refugees(难民). They were playing as part of a camp that gives them a chance to develop their soccer skills and to meet other kids who had to start their lives over in the United States. The camp is run by an organization called LACES, which stands for Life and Change Experienced through Sports. The group uses soccer to help bring together communities that have experienced hardships.SerenFryatt, 38, got the idea for LACES while playing on a women's soccer team in Liberia,an African country that had been at war with itself for 14 years. Fryatt, who's from Muncie, Indiana,saw that soccer brought joy to the Liberian women on her team,even though their lives off the field were very difficult. After starting a soccer program for kids in Liberia,she decided to start a similar camp in Maryland,where she moved in 2015. Coaches volunteer their time, and the costs are paid mostly by donations(捐赠). This year, 95 kids signed up.The camp, for ages 9 to 14, is split(分组) between training that helps kids develop skills, such as passing and ball control, and meeting where they discuss life skills. One of the coaches, Louisa Pitney, said she likes seeing how the kids grow just from being together.At the end of the camp's last day, all the kids gathered in the middle of the field. Fryatt asked them to raise their hands and say what they had learned that week. Some kids talked about soccer skills-one girl said she'd learned not to use her hands; a boy said he'd learned how to score a goal.When a coach called on one shy girl, she smiled before answering in a soft voice.“Celebrate each other, "she said.1.

They made me feel like part of their family, rather than a tourist—I joined in my host family's day-to-day activities, whether helping pick berries in the garden or going to friends' houses. I wasn't only traveling around Europe seeing the major sights, but I lost myself in a different culture.While many Swiss cultures are similar to America's, there are lots of differences, too. For example, most Swiss leave their windows open—without screens—all the time. At first I thought all the bugs（虫子）were going to get in and eat me alive, and wondered why they didn't close the windows and turn on the air conditioner. But then I realized there weren't many bugs and I really enjoyed the fresh air.Probably my biggest shock was the language. I expected the Swiss to speak German, but they spoke a dialect called Swiss German, which has hardly anything in common with German. At times I was very frustrated（受挫的）because my three years of German did not help, but my bad mood did not last. Anyhow, many people knew English and were extremely willing to speak it.Signing up for a cultural exchange was probably the biggest risk I ever took, but it was also the most rewarding. When I left, I promised I would return to Erlenbach. There is more to Switzerland than cheese and watches.1. What the writer liked best about his stay in Switzerland was probably that _____.________A. he made lots of friends in the villageB. he felt a great sense of belonging thereC. he enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the AlpsD. he played a part in the host family's housework2. How did the writer feel at first when he found his host family always kept the windows open? ________A. Relaxed.B. Disappointed.C. Excited.D. Worried.3. Why was the language the writer's biggest shock during his exchange visit? ________A. Because he had thought that the Swiss spoke German.B. Because he found his German not good enough for communication.C. Because the Swiss spoke English so well that he needn't have learned German.D. Because the locals told him that Swiss German was almost the same as German.Passage 5Last summer I got a real taste of Swiss life when I spent six weeks with a host family in the Bernese Alps.On arriving in Erlenbach where my host family live, I knew I couldn't have asked for a better setting: it was such a beautiful mountain village.And I couldn't have asked for a better host family, either.

At times I was very frustrated(受挫的) because my three years of German did not help, but my bad mood did not last. Anyhow, many people knew English and were extremely willing to speak it.Signing up for a cultural exchange was probably the biggest risk I ever took, but it was also the most rewarding. When I left, I promised I would return to Erlenbach. There is more to Switzerland than cheese and watches.1. What the writer liked best about his stay in Switzerland was probably that ________ .A. he made lots of friends in the villageB. he felt a great sense of belonging thereC. he enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the AlpsD. he played a part in the host family's housework2. How did the writer feel at first when he found his host family always kept the windows open? ________A. Relaxed.B. Disappointed.C. Excited.D. Worried.3. Why was the language the writer's biggest shock during his exchange visit? ________A. Because he had thought that the Swiss spoke German.B. Because he found his German not good enough for communication.C. Because the Swiss spoke English so well that he needn't have learned German.D. Because the locals told him that Swiss German was almost the same as German.参考答案Passage 11. B细节理解题。

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇It’s hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool’s Day. On April 1 each year, people play tricks on each other. These tricks are usually silly rather than mean. Classmates sometimes tie each other’s shoelaces to their chairs. Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that scares students before they realise it’s only a joke. Newspapers announce fake contests (such as “Win an elephant!”) and report on fake stories (like “UFO” lands in New York City).Forget gifts, songs and special foods-those are for the other holidays of the year. On April Fool’s Day, the only tradition is to laugh (and maybe to cause a little bit of trouble).One April Fool’s Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a very clever and funny trick on the teachers. They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria. The chickens ran all round the school, in and out of classrooms and under our feet. Feathers were flying everywhere.Teachers began running after the chickens, trying to catch them. Finally, they caught four of them. But the chickens were wearing numbered tags around their necks, and the teachers discovered that they had only caught chickens NO. 1, 2, 3, and 5. Where was chicken No. 4?The te achers looked and looked. They couldn’t find another chicken. After a few hours, they realised that the students had played another joke on them: There were only four chickens in the first place! They’d been tricked by the numbers on the chickens.It’s been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool’s Day remains one of my favourite memories from those years.1．What can we infer from the first paragraph on April Fool’s Day?A．Everyone is hard to avoid being fooled on April Fool’s Day.B．Students play jokes on teachers on April Fool’s Day.C．Teachers play tricks on students on April Fool’s Day.D．Newspapers often cheat people.2．Why did students set chickens free?A．They wanted to let chickens free. B．They wanted to let chickens run all round the school.C．They wanted to see feathers flying. D．They wanted to play a trick on the teachers. 3．How many jokes did the students play on the teachers?A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.【答案】1．A2．D3．B【分析】这是一篇记叙文。
