二轮复习最新高考英语阅读理解复习题(及答案)
一、高中英语阅读理解
1.阅读理解
My father loves his garden. He planted some seeds in it. But at that time I didn't understand why working in the dirt excited him so much.
Unfortunately, in early May, my father was seriously injured in an accident. He had to stay in bed for a while. My mother had several business trips so she couldn't take care of the garden. I didn't want my father to worry, so I said that I would take care of his garden until he recovered. I assumed that the little plants would continue to grow as long as they had water, and luckily it rained fairly often so I didn't think much about the garden.
One Saturday morning, my father said to me, "Christine, the vegetables should be about ready
to be picked. Let's have a salad today!" I went out to the garden and was upset to see that many
of the lettuce leaves and carrots had been half eaten by bugs. There were hundreds of bugs all over them!
I panicked for a moment, but then I quietly went to the nearest store to buy some vegetables.
When I gave the salad to him, he said, "Oh, Christine, what a beautiful salad! I can't believe the carrots are this big already. You must be taking very good care of my garden." I felt a little bit guilty.
Coming home, my mother saw the bag from the supermarket in the kitchen. I was embarrassed and I admitted, "Dad wanted a salad, but the garden was a disaster. I didn't want to disappoint him so I went to the store." She laughed but promised to help me in the garden and weeks later I was finally able to pick some.
I carefully made a salad and took it to my father. He looked at it with a hint of a smile. "Christine the carrots are smaller in this salad, but they taste better."
Now, I better understand how putting a lot of effort into caring for something can help you appreciate the results more, however small they maybe. Perhaps this was one of the reasons for my father's love of gardening.
(1)Christine originally said she would do the gardening because she ________.
A.knew it was important to her father
B.wanted to improve her gardening skills
C.was asked by her father to do it
D.was interested in growing vegetables
(2)Which of the following was a problem in the garden?
A.Animals often dug in the garden.
B.Insects destroyed the lettuce and carrots.
C.The plants were given too much water.
D.The vegetables were marked incorrectly.
(3)Christine could secretly make the salad from store-bought vegetables because ________.
A.her father couldn't see the garden's progress
B.her father was in hospital at that time
C.her mother helped her to buy the vegetables
D.her mother helped her to make a spray
(4)What did Christine learn through her experience of gardening?
A.Always prepare for a rainy day.
B.Don't be disappointed by bugs.
C.Hard work can be rewarding.
D.Working alone produces results.
【答案】(1)A
(2)B
(3)A
(4)C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了帮养病的爸爸照顾花园的经历让Christine明白了努力工作是值得的。

(1)考查细节理解。

根据第一段中的"My father loves his garden."及第二段中的"I didn't want my father to worry, so I said that I would take care of his garden until he recovered."可知,Christine的爸爸很喜欢花园,她不想让爸爸在养伤期间担心他的花园没人照顾,所以Christine说她会帮他照顾花园,也就是说Christine知道花园对爸爸很重要才说帮他照顾花园,故选A。

(2)考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的"I went out to the garden and was upset to see that many of the lettuce leaves and carrots had been half eaten by bugs."可知,Christine去花园看到许多莴苣叶和胡萝卜被虫子吃掉了一半,由此可知,花园的一个问题是昆虫破坏了莴苣和胡萝卜,故选B。

(3)考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的"Unfortunately, in early May, my father was seriously injured in an accident. He had to stay in bed for a while."可知,Christine的爸爸在一次事故中受了重伤,需要卧床养伤,看不到菜园的进展,所以Christine才能偷偷地用商店里买来的蔬菜做沙拉,故选A。

(4)考查推理判断。

根据最后一段中的"Now, I better understand how putting a lot of effort into caring for something can help you appreciate the results more, however small they maybe."可知,现在,Christine更好地理解,为某事付出大量的努力可以帮助你更好地欣赏成果,不管成果有多小,言外之意,这个经历让Christine明白了努力工作是值得的,故选C。

2.阅读理解
Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines. That is, generally, younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technological change. It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars, there doesn't seem to be a clear generational divide. The public overall is split on whether they'd like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.
The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how transformative the change to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car now-and no one can get one yet—but among those who are open to them, every age group is similarly involved.
Actually, this isn't surprising. Whereas older generations are sometimes reluctant to adopt new technologies, driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular. Older adults, especially those with limited mobility or difficulty driving on their own are one of the classic use-cases for driverless cars.
This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related technologies than older ones.
When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are more pronounced based on factors not related to age. College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education: 59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less. Where a person lives matters, too. More people who lived in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.
While there's reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going up across the board, a person's age will have little to do with how self-driving cars can become mainstream. Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.
(1)What happens when a new technology appears?
A.It farther widens the gap between the old and the young.
B.It usually draws different reactions from different age groups.
C.It often leads to innovations in other related fields.
D.It contributes greatly to the advance of society as a whole.
(2)What does the author say about the driverless car?
A.It will not necessarily reduce road accidents.
B.It has given rise to unrealistic expectations.
C.It does not seem to create a generational divide.
D.It may start a revolution in the car industry.
(3)Why does the driverless car appeal to some old people?
A.It adds to the safety of their travel.
B.It saves their energy.
C.It arouses their interest in life.
D.It helps with their mobility.
(4)What is likely to affect one's attitude toward the driverless car?
A.The location of their residence.
B.The amount of training they received.
C.The length of their driving experience.
D.The field of their special interest.
【答案】(1)B
(2)C
(3)D
(4)A

(2)考查细节理解。

根据第一段中的"generally, younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technological change. It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars, there doesn't seem to be a clear generational divide."可知,一般来说,在技术变革的前沿,年轻人往往比老年人多,不过,情况并不总是这样,当你看到人们对无人驾驶汽车的态度时,似乎并没有明显的代沟,故选C。

(3)考查推理判断。

根据第三段中的"driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular. Older adults, especially those with limited mobility or difficulty driving on their own are one of the classic use-cases for driverless cars."可知,无人驾驶汽车尤其能为老年人带来真正的价值,老年人,特别是那些行动不便或独自驾驶困难的人,是无人驾驶汽车的典型使用案例之一,由此可知,无人驾驶汽车对一些老年人有吸引力是因为它有助于他们的行动,故选D。

(4)考查细节理解。

根据倒数第二段中的"Where a person lives matters, too. More people who lived in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas."可知,一个人居住的地方也会影响他对无人驾驶汽车的态度,住在城市和郊区的人比住在农村的人更愿意尝试无人驾驶汽车,故选A。

4.阅读理解
Thirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seeking a million in prize money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours. Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part-drivers.
DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance. One had its brake lock up in the starting area. Another began by throwing itself onto a wall. Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles.
One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote control. One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence; another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock. The "winner," if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long, narrow hole, and the front wheels caught on fire.
"You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things," says Reinhold Behringer, who helped design two of the car-size vehicles for a company called Sci-Autonics. "Even ants (蚂蚁) can do all these tasks effortlessly. It's very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines."
The robotic vehicles, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately. Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think to wipe apple juice off her face, but she already knows that when there's a cookie in the kitchen she has to climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie it will taste good. She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed.
(1)Watchers doubted if any of the vehicles could finish the race because_____.
A. they did not have any human guidance
B. the road was not familiar to the drivers
C. the distance was too long for the vehicles
D. the prize money was unattractive to the drivers
(2)DARPA organized the race in order to_____.
A. raise money for producing more robotic vehicles
B. push the development of vehicle industry
C. train more people to drive in the desert
D. improve the vehicles for future wars
(3)From the passage we know "robotic vehicles" are a kind of machines that _____.
A. can do effortlessly whatever tasks living thing can
B. can take part in a race across 142 miles with a time limit
C. can show off their ability to turn themselves upside down
D. can move from place to place without being driven by human beings
(4)In the last paragraph, the writer implies that there is a long way to go______.
A. for a robotic vehicle to finish a 142-mile race without any difficulties
B. for a little child who has just learned to walk to reach the cookie on the table
C. for a robotic vehicle to deal with a simple problem that a little child can solve
D. for a little child to understand the importance of wiping apple juice off its face
【答案】(1)A
(2)D
(3)D
(4)C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了DARPA组织一次汽车越野比赛,目的是想改进未来战场上的机器人汽车,并介绍了这些机器汽车的优点和缺点。

(1)考查推理判断。

根据第一段中的“Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part-drivers.”车队和观众都知道可能根本没有赢家,因为这些车缺少了一个关键的部分司机。

可知,这些汽车都没有驾驶员。

根据第二段中的“DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields.”美国国防部高级研究计划局(DARPA)组织了这次比赛,作为推动未来战场机器人车辆发展的一部分。

可以推测,DARPA组织这次比赛是军事目的是想改进未来战争用车,故选D。

(3)考查词义猜测。

根据第二段中的“But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, jus t proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance.”但这项被称为“大挑战”的项目恰恰证明了,在没有人类引导的情况下,让一辆汽车快速穿越一片陌生的沙漠是多么困难。

可以推断出“robotic vehicles”是一种不要人操作的汽车,故选D。

(4)考查推理判断。

根据最后一段中的“she is more advanced...than any machine...”可知机器远不如人的智力。

故选C。

5.阅读理解
When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.
Certainly, most of the world's great religions (宗教) order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally (道德方面) right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.
First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil (恶行). Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one's sense of pride and self-dependence.
Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.
It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.
(1)What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A. Moral deeds of people.
B. Religious activities of the church.
C. Moral goodness of the giver.
D. Arguments on giving to beggars.
(2)What can we infer from the sentence "But has the world changed?" in the second paragraph?
A. People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.
B. Some people will not do what was morally right in the past.
C. We don't meet with those who need help any more.
D. Now it is the government's duty to help the beggars.
(3)Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.
B. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.
C. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.
D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.
(4)In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion, because ______.
A. the cases can be so different
B. there are so many beggars
C. there is so much money wasted
D. there are so many different arguments
【答案】(1)D
(2)B
(3)B
(4)A
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,论述了人们过去和现在对乞讨者不同观点及原因,告诉我们不同问题要区别对待。

(1)考查主旨大意。

纵观全文可知,本文论述了人们现在对乞讨者不同观点及原因。

列举了现在人们不给乞讨者钱的几种想法及帮助别人是美德,告诉我们不同问题要区别对待。

故选D。

(2)考查句义猜测。

上句说多数宗教都要求我们敞开心扉和不如自己幸运的人分享。

下句讲或许过去道德上认为是对的现在不再是最好的想法。

前后两句是转折,所以"But has the world changed?"指情况发生了改变,人们的观念发生了改变,故选B。

(3)考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的“many city beggar s dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. the money' you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs.和there is no real excuse for begging.”可知A、C、D都提到了,B没提到。

故选B。

(4)考查推理判断。

根据最后一段中的“It is hard to come to any final co nclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently.”可知由于不同情况要区别对待,所以很难做最后结论。

故选A.
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,句义猜测,推理判断和主旨大意四个题型的考查,是一篇社会现象类阅读,要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,概括和归纳,从而选出正确答案。

6.(2019•江苏)请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Who cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine? Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?
It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people's opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.
The fascination with the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so "yesterday" that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in "post-industrial society" has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector (制造业) with negative consequences for their economies.
Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the "digital divide" between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. The question, however, is whether
this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people's lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.
In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a "borderless world". As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.
Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.
(1)Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to ________.
A. a lack of confidence in technology
B. a slow progress in technology
C. a conflict of public opinions
D. a waste of limited resources
(2)The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should ________.
A. take people's essential needs into account
B. make their programmes attractive to people
C. ensure that each child gets financial support
D. provide more affordable internet facilities
(3)What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations?
A. Neglecting the impacts of technological advances.
B. Believing that the world has become borderless.
C. Ignoring the power of economic development.
D. Over-emphasizing the role of international communication.
(4)What can we learn from the passage?
A. People should be encouraged to make more donations.
B. Traditional technology still has a place nowadays.
C. Making right career choices is crucial to personal success.
D. Economic policies should follow technological trends.
【答案】(1)D
(2)A
(3)B
(4)B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,介绍了对信息技术的过分迷恋对国家,对个人,对慈善事业都会有不利的影响。

(1)细节理解题。

根据第二段中的“However, they have reak impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce r esources. ”可知,对信息技术的错误判断会导致有限资源的错误使用,也就是资源的浪费,故选D。

(2)推理判断题。

根据第四段中的“Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people's lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.”可知,与其给那些贫困地区孩子笔记本电脑或者建网络中心,还不如给钱打井,铺电网或者生产他们买得起的洗衣机,这些东西更能改善他们的生活。

作者不是说这些东西一定更重要,但是很多捐赠者没有仔细考虑捐赠的东西的长期成本,因此作者建议捐赠者要考虑接受捐赠的人的实际情况,而不是一味地追求信息化,故选A。

(3)推理判断题。

根据第五段“In yet another example, a fa scination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a "borderless world". 以及Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.”可知,对新东西的迷恋让人们认为如今通讯技术和交通的变革让我们生活在一个无国界的世界。

正是认为我们生活在这样一个世界,很多政府取消了关于跨国界的资本、劳动力以及商品流动的法律法规,故选B。

(4)推理判断题。

根据第三段“The fascination with the ICT(Infor mation and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so "yesterday" that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in "post-industrial society" has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业) with negative consequences for their economies.”可知,对互联网呈现的通讯技术变革的迷恋让很多富裕国家做出一个错误的结论,制造产品已经过时了,他们应该靠创意生活,因而忽略了制造业,从而对经济造成不利影响,故可知,传统的技术依然有它的地位,不能被新兴的信息技术取代,故选B。

7.阅读理解
Every year migratory(迁徙的) bats travel from Mexico to Bracken Cave, where they spend the summer consuming insects that would otherwise hungrily eat common food crops. But the bats have been showing up far earlier than they did two decades ago.
In a study, scientists at Rothamsted Research, an agricultural laboratory in England, used radar data from 160 U.S. weather stations to analyze activity in the Texas bat colony from 1995 through 2017. They discovered the creatures were leaving their winter quarters in Mexico earlier and reproducing sooner. They were also astonished to find increasing numbers of bats
overwintering(过冬) at Bracken Cave instead of heading back to their cold weather quarters in Mexico. Overwintering is a sign that warmer temperatures change the bats' annual rhythms, Rothamsted biologist Phillip Stepanian says.
A separate study of migratory bats in Indiana, published last year, found that temperature variations affected arrival and departure times—likewise hinting at the potential influence of climate change. Joy O'Keefe, a biology professor at Indiana State University and co-author of that study, says early arrival at their summer habitats(栖息地) could expose these bats to cold snaps(寒流), and they could freeze to death.
Joy O'Keefe and her colleagues also found that changing bat migration times can also clash with rainfall patterns. Many insects that bats eat breed in seasonal lakes and puddles. If the bats arrive too early to benefit from summer rainfall and the resulting abundance of insects they may struggle to feed their pups(幼崽) or skip reproduction altogether, O'Keefe says. She fears this shift could cause Midwestern bats to decrease toward extinction, which would be bad news for humans. "Declines in bat populations could have severe effects for crop success," she says, adding that bats also "control significant disease vectors, such as mosquitoes."
However, scientists are not certain that climate change alone is causing the Bracken Cave bat colony to migrate earlier. They have found a direct link between seasonal temperatures and bird migration, but bats are also influenced by factors such as changes in wind speed and direction. An d there are other complications. “Bats are mysterious little animals that move mostly at night and are difficult to observe and track," Stepanian says. "We have this conceptual picture of what might be happening, but really tying it to the cause is the next step."
