高三英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)含解析

高三英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解When you go to the doctor, you like to come away with a prescription．It makes you feel better to know you will get some medicine. But the doctor knows that medicine is not always needed. Sometimes all a sick person needs is some reassurance that all will be well. In such cases the doctor may prescribe a placebo.A placebo is a sugar pill, a harmless shot, or ail empty capsule. Even though they have no medicine in them, these things seem to make people well. The patient thinks it is medicine and begins to get better. How does this happen?The study of the placebo opens up new knowledge about the way the human body can heal itself. It is as if there was a doctor in each of us. The doctor will heal the body for us if we let it. But it is not yet known just how the placebo works to heal the body. Some people say it works because the human mind fools itself. These people say that if the mind is fooled into thinking it got medicine, then it will act as if it did, and the body will feel better.Placebos do not always work. The success of this treatment seems to rest a lot with the relationship between the patient and the doctor. If the patient has a lot of trust in the doctor and if the doctor really wants to help the patient, then the placebo is more likely to work. So in a way, the doctor is the most powerful placebo of all.A placebo can also have bad effects. If patients expect a bad reaction to medicine, then they will also show a bad reaction to the placebo. This would seem to show that a lot of how you react to medicine is in your mind rather than in your body. Some doctors still think that if the placebo can have bad effects it should never be used. They think there is still not enough known about it. The strange power of the placebo does seem to suggest that the human mind is stronger than we think it is. There are people who say you can heal your body by using your mind. And the interesting thing is that even people who swear this is not possible have been healed by a placebo．（1）What do we know about placebo according to the passage?A. It contains some sort of medicine.B. It won't function if you are negative about medicine.C. People who don't believe placebo can't be healed by it.D. Patients and doctors know clearly how it helps to heal the body.（2）Why is the doctor sometimes the most powerful placebo?A. The patient needs help badly．B. The patient believes in the doctor．C. The doctor knows better about your body．D. The doctor has carefully studied medicine．（3）What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. The placebo.B. The bad effect.C. The body.D. The medicine.（4）What is the passage mainly about?A. Placebo：Work on Your MindB. Placebo：The Most Powerful MedicineC. Placebo：The Best DoctorD. Placebo：Heal Your Body【答案】（1）A（2）B（3）B（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，有时候病人的病并不是需要真正的药物来医治，而是需要医生开一些安慰的药剂，安慰病人的心理使病人的情绪得到舒缓，从而有利于病情的痊愈。

阅读理解题型分类练(八) 主旨大意题——文章大意类A[2023·山东省青岛市高三检测] In 2014, Mahoney performed an act of kindness as part of a Facebook challenge. She picked a 79yearold senior named Wagner, who regularly gave back to the community. Mahoney wanted to know Wagner better, so they spent a day together, picking up groceries and getting their nails done. “It was the first time in years that someone had made a day about her，” says Mahoney.Their shared experience got Mahoney thinking. How many other seniors might benefit from dedicated attention? She came up with a plan: find local seniors with longtime dreams and work to fulfill their wishes. She named the new charity: We Are Young, or WAY for short.Seniors can nominate (提名) themselves or be nominated by someone else; wishes are then assessed by a community committee that lo oks at factors such as agerelated physical barriers, social isolation and financial need.Melanie nominated her husband, 78yearold Victor, to go rockhounding, a hobby he'd given up when it became too physically difficult to access the bay where he hunted for geodes (晶洞). The team at WAY hired a boat for him and his son so they could reach the bay and search out geodes on the beach. “Now, Victor has regained his selfconfidence and is willing to take on new challenges. We want to show that anything is possible with the support of others，” says Mahoney.Up to now, WAY has delivered on 41 dreams, ranging from a helicopter trip over a childhood blueberrypicking spot to travelling to Toronto to watch a Blue Jays game. While her charity operates only in Nova Scotia, Mahoney has her own dream. Each WAY wish is recorded on video, and she wants people watching to be inspired to fulfill a wish for a senior in their own community. “We want to create a national movement that shifts how we as a society view, value and support seniors，” says Mahoney. “That is the impact we're trying to create.”1．Why did Mahoney set up WAY?A．To complete a Facebook challenge.B．To give back to local communities.C．To do daily chores for the elderly.D．To help seniors realize their goals.2．How has WAY affected Victor?A．He has made more friends.B．He has started a new hobby.C．He has become highspirited.D．He has regained his son's support.3．What does Mahoney intend to do by recording videos?A．Rise to fame and fortune overnight.B．Keep memories alive for the elderly.C．Positively change our attitude towards the elderly.D．Improve interpersonal relationship in the community.4. What is the text mainly about?A．Lifelong dreams.B．A charity for seniors.C．Problems seniors meet.D．An unforgettable experience.B[2023·湖北省高三调研] More cities, states and regions are committing to comprehensive climate plans to decarbonize (减少碳排放) transportation by 2040. The need for action is now, and we need to rise to the challenge quickly. Google technology is unlocking our ability to generate climaterelated insights and impact on the globe.The transportation sector is where global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are rising the quickest. In 2018, Google launched the Environmental Insights Explorer (EIE). Using AI, the systems analyze transportation trends in a city by mode, helping local governments assess their progress in tackling GHG emissions. GHG inventory processes (温室气体排放清单) traditionally take months and multiple data sources to collect, and are now highly efficient, allowing government staff to reduce the cost and personnel burden of reporting.In pursuit of helping more cities take action against climate change, we will make transportation insights available in EIE for over 20，000 cities and regional governments by the end of the year, making it one of the largest ever collections of highquality, globally consistent environmental data sources.With EIE, cities have free access to Google's unique mapping data and insights so they can decide on cleaner transport policies. As part of Google's most ambitious decade of climate action, we've committed to helping more than 500 cities and local governments reduce a total sum of 1 billion tons of carbon emissions per year by 2030 and beyond.As the window continues to narrow on carrying out policies and plans to reduce emissions, we're collaborating with other associations, committed to addressing climate change. Our work with Cities Climate Leadership Group(C 40) will help us better support the needs of cities. Together we can provide higherquality transportation activity data to measure and track GHG emissions at a global scale, while also giving state and local governments resources to better understand what's working at a local level.5．What can we learn about EIE from paragraph 2?A．It takes over government staff's work.B．It predicts transportation trends in a city.C．It results in the rising of GHG emissions.D．It deals with data collection and analysis.6．What is the purpose of the project EIE?A．To promote Google's ambitious climate action．B．To help cities make more sustainable decisions.C．To provide environmental protection resources.D.To partner with 40 countries for climate solutions.7．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “collaborating” in the last paragraph?A．Cooperating. B．Compromising.C．Competing. D．Corresponding.8．What is the main idea of the passage?A.Google helps calculate people's carbon footprint with EIE.B．Local governments benefit from environmental data sources.C．Technology does its part in the action against climate change.D．Technology can increase people's environmental consciousness.C[2023·安徽省高三四月联考] Social media has completely taken over everyday life, affecting how society runs and changing individuals in ways that even they can feel. While social media can act as a platform for people to express themselves, it can also be overwhelming, especially for high school teens.To teenager Bryson Lan, deleting social media helped eliminate a significant distraction in his routine and keep up with teachers. “I was scrolling (滚动) through social networking sites so much，” Lan said. “I was also starting to struggle since I entered my high school year. When school started, I was super overwhelmed (不知所措的), and I was just not ready for it.”Most teenagers fear that by eliminating these apps, they will miss out on connections with their peers and feel a significant loss to their social life. However, Lan found he didn't miss anything during his time without social media.Another problem with social media is the amount of “junk content” posted. People are regularly posting and updating on social media, and much of the content has no meaning to other viewers and is ultimately a__time__suck．However, social media isn't all negative. Social media can be a place to develop passions and boost creativity. For example, Lan found his interest in photography blossom after seeing works from other pho tographers on social media. “Social media is a good place where you can have a portfolio (作品集) or upload your works，” Lan said. “A lot of people have photography accounts or art accounts. In some ways, I think it actually furthers your hobby.”The vast audience that social media can reach brings convenience and effectiveness in the spread of art. Although some people might be discouraged by other artists' impressive works, Lan is inspired to produce better photographs.“Thanks to this revolutionary developm ent of social media, we can enjoy a world where everyone is closer than before，” Lan said. “But we also need to have the skills to make good use of social media, and that depends on each person's efforts.”9．What did getting rid of social media bring Lan?A．More distractions.B．Confusion about life.C．A smaller social circle.D．More attention on his studies.10．What does the underlined phrase “a time suck” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．A waste of time. B．A timetable.C．A lack of time. D．A time switch.11．What's Lan's attitude towards social media?A．Doubtful. B．Unclear.C．Objective. D．Supportive.12．What's the main idea of the text?A．Most teenagers' opinions on social media.B．The effects social media has on teenagers.C．Innovative development of social media.D．The problems social media brings people.阅读理解题型分类练(八)A【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。

We think about the mistakes we made in the previous day, how things went wrong, and how we felt bad about it. No wonder it becomes difficult to focus on the current day.Here are some steps on how to start your new day fresh:⒈Take time to evaluate your dayAt the end of a day, take some time to think about it. The purpose of this thinking time is not to regret how bad your day was, how things went wrong, or how people treated you badly. This won't do you any good. Instead, the purpose of this thinking time is to extract（吸取）lessons which you can bring to the following day.⒉Make a commitment to apply the lessonsAfter you extract the lessons, you should make a commitment to apply them. To do so, find some actionable things you can do to apply the lessons. Next, remind yourself to do them. You may write them down if you want to.⒊“Close” your dayAfter you have spent the time to think about the day and extract the lessons, make a decision to “close” the day. You are done with it; don't think about it anymore.⒋Bring only the lessons to the next day and nothing elseAfter you “dose” a day, you should not bring anything ou t of it to the next day except for the lessons you extract. Focus on applying the lessons to the present. This way you will be able to start your day fresh without the burden of yesterday.（1）What will happen if we think too much about the past?A.

高三英语阅读理解答题技巧及练习题(含答案)及解析

高三英语阅读理解答题技巧及练习题(含答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解If you want to convince the boss you deserve a pay rise or promotion, the solution could be simple — eat the same food as they do. Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them.During experiments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if both sides chose to snack on the same treats. And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time.The reason is thought to be so-called similarity attraction theory — where people tend to like others who have similar tastes or habits to themselves. But this is believed to be one of the first studies highlighting the role of food in this relationship. Researchers at Chicago University in theUS conducted a series of experiments to examine food's role in earning trust.In a test, participants were told to watch TV — where someone pretending to be a member ofthe public praised a certain product. The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to nibble (咬), whilethe TV people ate either a Kit Kat or grapes as they talked.The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the productif the TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too.The researchers added, “Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such. They feel more trusting of those who consume as they do. It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develop a bond, leading to smoother transactions (交易) from the start.”Harley Street psychologist Dr. Lucy Atcheson said it was already known that wearing similar clothes could instantly create trust. But this was the first report that food had the same effect. She said, “This is really interesting. It makes sense as people feel they have common ground andcan trust the other person. That means negotiations are more likely to be successfu l.”（1）According to the passage, customers are likely to buy a product from a dealer who ______.A. has the same taste as themB. advertises his products on TVC. reduces the price of his productsD. pays attention to the quality of his products（2）The experiments conducted by researchers at Chicago University show that ______.A. food plays an important role in earning people's trustB. bosses like employees that havethe same taste as themC. people who have similar tastes to their boss's earn moreD. people have less interest in buying products advertised on TV（3）What can be inferred from the passage?A. People who eat similar food are more likely to trust each other.B. People will get along with each other if they like to eat similar things.C. The effect of wearing similar clothes hasn't been proved by researchers.D. People are more likely to make friends with those wearing the same clothes as them.（4）Which of the following sayings can be an example of the similarity attraction theory?A. Honesty is the best policy.B. All good things come to an end.C. Birds of a feather flock together.D. Where there is a will, there is a way.【答案】（1）A（2）A（3）A（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了相似吸引理论在食物上也成立，芝加哥大学研究人员进行的实验表明食物对人的信任起着重要的作用。

高考英语阅读理解

高考英语阅读理解高考英语阅读理解11篇高考英语阅读理解1在英语学习中，阅读占有很重要的地位。

阅读理解也是高考的必考题型。

但是在日常的学习中，有不少同学还没有养成良好的阅读习惯，大大影响了阅读的效率。

要想提高阅读水平，首先要养成良好的阅读习惯。

养成默读的习惯许多同学在阅读的时候都有读出声的习惯。

出声阅读的主要弊病就是使自己的阅读速度和效率受到说话速度的限制。

因为，正常默读速度几乎要比出声朗读的速度快两倍以上。

另外，出声阅读往往以不同的形式表现出来，有时仅仅是无声地动一动嘴唇，有时甚至连嘴唇也不动，只是舌、喉在活动。

嘴唇的活动无疑会影响眼睛扫视文章的速度。

一个有效率的读者能够只看到印刷符号就直接获得意思，而不经过声音阶段。

因此，为了克服这种不良的阅读习惯，就要训练自己养成通过眼睛直接感知文字符号的视读能力。

克服心读的习惯心读是一种很难观察到的阅读习惯。

心读时，人体的任何部位，不论嘴、头或声带都没有动，只存在一种说话的内在形式：阅读者在内心里始终自言自语，清晰地发出并听着每个字音。

这种毛病亦是一种很坏的阅读习惯，它直接影响到阅读的速度和效率，并且矫正起来还比较困难。

采用强制自己在深入理解文章内容的同时，又强制自己加快阅读速度的方法，一般能逐渐克服这种坏习惯。

克服指读的习惯指读是指用手指、铅笔或尺子等指着文章的一个个词进行阅读。

指读是单纯机械运动，不仅会减慢阅读速度，而且还会把注意力引向错误的方向。

一个高效率的阅读者不会注意单词的位置，也不会在每个单词上平均花费时间，而是把注意力集中在作者要阐明的思想内容上。

有指读习惯的同学实际上妨碍了眼睛运动并限制了大脑的快速活动能力。

因此，必须克服这种不良的阅读习惯，逐渐养成用脑瞬间反映文字信息的能力。

克服复视的习惯复视指的是读完一个句子或段落后回过头去重复阅读。

阅读能力差的同学往往有复视的习惯。

改变这种不良习惯的办法是让自己阅读大量难度适宜的读物。

在先了解阅读要求的情况下，用眼睛快速扫描答案。

高考英语二轮复习全国卷Ⅱ题型重组：第8组(含解析)

第八组(建议用时：35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2015·贵阳高三适应性监测考试)Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款机), I said hello to an old couple who were also paying for gas.I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke began pouring from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him and his wife a thankyou note for helping me. Soon afterwards, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In the late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford？”I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment. When I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say “thank you”，and it meant a lot, he said.“Thank you”—two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.1．Why did the writer get into the old couple’s car?A．His parents were in the car.B．His car had broken down.C．His friend told him to do so.D．His car’s oil had run out.2．From the text, we know that the old couple were ________．A．talkative B．braveC．kind D．lonely3．What did the old couple think of helping the writer?A．They could get a reward.B．It made their holiday worthy.C．They did it by chance.D．It was due to a thank-you letter.4．What would be the best title for the text?A．An Experience to MissouriB．An Old CoupleC．A Meaningful HolidayD．A Meaningful ThankyouB(2015·呼和浩特第一次调研)It is not so long ago that the extended family lived under the same roof. Children grew up knowing their cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents, and other relatives. These children felt connected.In these not toolongago times people were connected to their food. Most people grew their own vegetables and fruit. Many families had a house cow for milk, cheese, butter and cream.Most families also had meat animals. When visitors came unexpectedly, dad would be sent out back to kill the chicken for dinner. Everyone was involved in cooking and mealtimes were a social event. When the meal ended, most of the family were involved in cleaning up and washing up.How different is the situation today?The fast life is all around us—fast food, fast cars, fast conversations, fast families, fast holidays. Our fast paced life has weakened these connections. We have been fooled into thinking we need to, or even must, be fast and have what the “fast life”gives us. Stress is leading to many new health problems.The solution is the Slow Movement. It aims to deal with the problem of “time poverty”through making connections. It supports a growing cultural shift towards slowing down. It has spread to more than sixty countries and become a worldwide movement.The Slow Movement tells us that we need to slow down and connect with our life. We need connection to people—ourselves, our family, our community, our friends—to food, to places(where we live), and to life. By being part of the Slow Movement, many people have known how they lost connection to most aspects of their life and to the natural world and rhythms around them. And more importantly, they have reconnected—they have lived a new connected lifestyle.5．If we are connected to our food, we ________．A．eat each meal slowlyB．buy our food by ourselvesC．enjoy our mealtimes with other family membersD．prepare and cook our food by ourselves6．According to the text, which group of the following words can be used to describe today’s life?A．Healthy, busy, disconnected.B．Rich, disconnected, comfortable.C．Fast, busy, stressful.D．Convenient, relaxing, fast.7．According to the author, many people have ________．A．got used to fast lifeB．had unwise opinions about fast lifeC．had diseases caused by fast foodD．benefited from fast life8．What’s the purpose of the text?A．To compare modern life with traditional life.B．To explain the meaning of making a connection.C．To explain the disadvantages of disconnected life.D．To support a worldwide movement.Ⅱ.七选五(2015·河北五个一名校联盟监测二)Guide for TeenagersThe teenage years can be tough，and it’s normal to feel sad every now and then.But if these feelings don’t go away or become so intense that you can’t handle them，you may be suffering from depression.1.________．Try not to isolate yourselfWhen you’re depressed，you may not feel like seeing anybody or doing anything.Just getting out of bed in the morning can be difficult，but isolating yourself only makes depression worse.2.________．Spend time with friends，especially those who are active.Keep your body healthyMaking healthy lifestyle choices can do wonders for your moods.Ever heard of “Runners High”？Physical activity can be as effective as medications for depression，so get involved in sports，ride your bike，or take a dance class.Any activity helps！3.________．As for food，make sure you’re feeding your mind with plenty of fruits，vegetables，and whole grains.Avoid alcohol and drugsYou maybe try drinking or use drugs in an effort to escape from your feelings and get a “mood boost”，even if just for a short time.However，substance abuse can not only make depression worse，but can cause you to become more depressed.4.________．You will need special treatment for your substance abuse problem.5．________Stress and worry can lead to depression.Talk to a teacher if exams or classes seem overwhelming.In addition，if you have a health concern you feel you can’t talk to your parents about，see a doctor.A health professional can help you approach your parents and guide you toward appropriate treatment.If you’re dealing with relationships，friendships，or family problems，talk to an adult you trust.A．Ask for help if you are stressedB．Even a short walk can be beneficialC．Turn to your parents for helpD．As you get out into the world，you may find yourself feeling betterE．In short，drinking and taking drugs will make you feel worse—not better—in the long run F．The more exercise you do，the healthier you will beG．Help is available and you have more power than you thinkⅢ.短文改错(2015·云南第一次统一检测)A foreign student graduated with honors from a finely university in Germany. He expected to find a good job and have a bright future. But in his disappointment, he wasn’t even giving the chance for an interview! The third time he was refused, he phoned the company to ask how. “We don’t employ dishonest people in Germany”is theanswer. What was wrong? Shortly before he arrived in Germany, he found easy to steal subway rides. But he often rode without a ticket and was caught up three times. Now he had to pay a high price for his own behavior.

高三英语试卷分类汇编英语阅读理解(及答案)含解析

高三英语试卷分类汇编英语阅读理解(及答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解We want our children to succeed, in school and, perhaps even more importantly, in life. But the paradox(悖论) is that our children can only truly succeed if they first learn how to fail. Consider the finding that world-class figure skaters fall over more often in practice than low-level figure skaters. At first sight this seems contradictory. Why are the really good skaters falling over the most?The reason is actually quite simple. Top skaters are constantly challenging themselves in practice, attempting jumps that stretch their limitations. This is why they fall over so often, but it is precisely why they learn so fast. Lower-level skaters have a quite different approach. They are always attempting jumps they can already do very easily, remaining within their comfort zone. This is why they don't fall over. In a superficial sense, they look successful, because they are always on their feet. The truth, however, is that by never failing, they never progress.What is true of skating is also true of life. James Dyson worked through 5,126 failed prototypes(原型) for his dual cyclone vacuum before coining up with the design that made his fortune. These failures were essential to the pathway of learning. As Dyson p ut it: “You can't develop new technology unless you test new ideas and learn when things go wrong. Failure is essential to invention.”In healthcare, however, things are very different. Clinicians don't like to admit to failure, partly because they have healthy egos(自我)(particularly the senior doctors) and partly because they fear litigation(诉讼). The consequence is that instead of learning from failure, healthcare often covers up failure. The direct consequence is that the same mistakes are repeated. According to the Journal of Patient Safety, 400,000 people die every year in American hospitals alone due to preventable error. Until healthcare learns to respond positively to failure, things will not improve. But let us return to children. One of the major mistakes in education in the 1970s was the attempt to equip children with confidence by giving them lots of successes （setting the bar very low）. The consequence was that the ego of kids became bound up with success, and they became unable to take risks and collapsed as soon as they hit a proper challenge.We need to flip(翻转) this approach. In a complex world, failure is inevitable. It is those individuals and institutions that have the flexibility to face up to failure, learn the lessons and adapt which eventually excel(突出).（1）The question raised in the first paragraph is to ________.A. open up a discussion on the topicB. analyze the reason for successC. express the author's oppositionD. doubt the abilities of the top skaters（2）Which of the following is the structure of the passage?A. B. C. D.（3）What would be the best title for the passage?A. How we can avoid failure in lifeB. What we should learn from failureC. Why failure is the key to flying highD. Where we further improve ourselves【答案】（1）A（2）A（3）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，论证了“失败是孩子成功的必须条件”这一观点。

Some countries try to savedying languages. For instance, Australian Government created a project to savethe language and culture of Maori who are Australian aborigines. And there areother projects to keep minority languages such as American Indian language.However, the worldwide job market usuallyrequires candidates who can speak English or other international languages.People who cannot speak lingua franca (共通语) could hardly be promotedat work.

高三英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Generally speaking, government regulations normally ban anything from smoking in public places to parking in certain zones. But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70km (45miles) east of Sao Paulo, have gone far beyond that. They plan to prohibit residents from dying early because the local cemetery(墓地) has reached full capacity.There's no more room to bury the dead, they can't be cremated(火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution: outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal regulations that prohibit new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. "They have not taken local demands into consideration", he claims.A 2003 decree(法令) by Brazil's National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr. Pereira wants to build a new cemetery, but the project has been stopped because 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered as a preservation area.Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000 inhabitants, not only wants to prohibit residents from passing away. The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death. "I haven't got a job, nor am I healthy. And now they say I can't die. That's ridiculous," Amarido do Prado, an unemployed resident said.The city council is expected to vote on the regulation next week. "Of course the bill is laughable, illegal, and will never be approved," said Gilson Soares de Campos, an assistant of the mayor. "But can you think of a better resolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is prohibiting us from building a new cemetery?" The bill states that "offenders will be held responsible for their acts." However, it does not say what the punishment will be.（1）What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim?A. Ban on building a new cemetery.B. Ban on parking in certain zones.C. Forbidding buried grounds in preservation.D. Prohibiting residents from dying early.（2）What can we infer from the phrase "have gone far beyond that" in the first paragraph?A. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have made these regulations.B. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world.C. The bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unexpected.D. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town.（3）What's the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal regulations? A. He gives strong backing to them. B. He objects to them.C. He remains silent about them.D. He asks the residents for advice on them.（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. The bill has come into effect but it doesn't state clearly what punishements the offenders will receive.B. The residents of the town sing high praise for the bill.C. The government is going to change the unreasonale and laughable decree.D. No betterresolution of the problems has been thought out.【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）B（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，由于墓地短缺，巴西城市Biritiba Mirim的官员草拟了一份不准人过早的死去的法案，这引起了当地居民的争论。

【英语】高三英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)含解析

【英语】高三英语阅读理解专项训练100(附答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Many scientists today are convinced that life exists elsewhere in the universe---life probably much like that on our own planet. They reason in the following way.As far as astronomers can determine, the entire universe is built of the same matter. They have no reason to doubt that matter obeys the same laws in every part of the universe. Therefore, it is reasonable to guess that other stars, with their own planets, were born in the same way as our own solar system. What we know of life on earth suggests that life will arise wherever the proper conditions exist.Life requires the right amount and kind of atmosphere. This eliminates(除去) all those planets in the universe that are not about the same size and weight as the earth. A smaller planet would lose its atmosphere; a larger one would hold too much of it.Life also requires a steady supply of heat and light. This eliminates double stars, or stars that flare up suddenly. Only single stars that are steady sources of heat and light like our sun would qualify.Finally, life could evolve(进化) only if the planet is just the right distance from its sun. With a weaker sun than our own, the planet would have to be closer to it. With a stronger sun, it would have to be farther away.If we suppose that every star in the universe has a family of planets, then how many planets might support life? First, eliminate those stars that are not like our sun. Next eliminate most of their planets; they are either too far from or too close to their suns. Then eliminate all those planets which are not the same size and weight as the earth. Finally, remember that the proper conditions do not necessarily mean that life actually does exist on a planet. It may not have begun yet, or it may have already died out.This process of elimination seems to leave very few planets on which earthlike life might be found. However, even if life could exist on only one planet in a million, there are so many billions of planets that this would still leave a vast number on which life could exist.（1）The existence of life depends on all of the following factors EXCEPT .A.the right amount of atmosphereB.our own solar systemC.steady heat and lightD.the right distance from the sun（2）Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A.The planet must be as big and heavy as the earth.B.Proper conditions are essential to the existence of life.C.Double stars can provide steady light and heat.D.The distance between a planet and its sun should be right.（3）What kind of planet might NOT support life?A.Most of the planets of the stars.B.Stars similar to our sun.C.Planets similar to the earth.D.Planets with proper conditions.（4）At the end of the passage the author suggests that .A.it is impossible for life to exist on planetsB.earthlike life could only exist on a few planetsC.life could exist on only one planet in a millionD.life could exist on a great number of planets【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，整个宇宙都是由同一种物质构成的，物质在宇宙的每一部分都遵循同样的规律。

As he observed her and spoke with her, he admired her more and more. He showered her with kindness and words of praise until she consented to be his wife.Not long after they were married, however, the beautiful woman found out that she was more the object of his artistic interest than of his affections. When he admired her classic beauty, it was as though he were standing in front of a work of art rather than in front of a human being to whom he had pledged his love and promised his life. And soon he expressed his great desire to put her rare beauty on canvas.“Please sit for me in the workroom,” he pleaded, “and I will make your beauty permanent. The work will be my masterpiece!”She was humble and patient as well as flattered by his words, so she said, “Yes, my love. I will be happy to sit for you.” So the beautiful, young wife of the artist sat meekly for hours in his studio, not complaining. Day after day she sat patiently, smiling as she posed, because she loved him and because she hoped that he would see her love in her smile and obedience. She sometimes wanted to call out to him, “Please love me and want me as a person rather than as an object!” But instead, she spoke nothing but words which pleased him.At length, as the labor drew to close, the painter became wilder in his passion for his work. He only rarely turned his eyes from the canvas to look at his wife. As he stood there gazing at his beautiful work of art, he cried with a loud voice, “This is indeed life itself!” Then he turned to his beloved and saw that she was dead!（1）In what way did the artist express his appreciation of his wife's rare beauty?A. He put her classic beauty on canvas.B. He promised to marry her.C. He centered his deep affection on her.D. He pledged his love and promised his life to her.（2）What can be inferred from the story?A.

【英语】高三英语阅读理解题20套(带答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Dodder is an unusual and unwanted plant that attacks other plants. Except for its flowers, the plant looks like spaghetti, a kind of noodles in the shape of long thin pieces that look like string when they are cooked. It's almost leafless, thread-like stems hang down on top of other plants that dodder needs to stay alive. Dodder does not produce its own food. Instead, it steals food from other plants. It feeds by sucking juices from the plant which is wrapped around, often making its host very weak or even killing it.Dodder can find other plants by their smell. When a young dodder plant starts growing, it follows the smell of plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm crops. Unlike most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant will grow in the direction of, for example, tomato smell—if a tomato happens to be growing nearby.However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly. It no longer needs its root once it is attached to the host and wrapped around it. If it cannot catch a smell of a potential host within a few days, it will dry up and vanish even if there is plenty of water around. Once it finds a host, the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster. At that point the dodder plant will drop its root.Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers. When it does get out of hand, dodder can greatly reduce a farmer's harvest or even destroy crops completely. Before sowing their produce, especially farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make sure no unwanted dodder seeds have mixed with their crop seeds. This is a good way to stop dodder plants from making their way to a crop field secretly.（1）Why does the author mention spaghetti in the first paragraph?A. To analyze the content of some food.B. To introduce the topic of this passage.C. To tell the usage of the dodder plants.D. To describe the shape of dodder plants.（2）What does the underlined word “vanish” in the third paragraph mean?A. invade.B. grow.C. escape.D. disappear.（3）What can be inferred from the passage?A. Dodder doesn't produce its own food.B. Dodder gives off smell to attract plants.C. Dodder can affect farmers' income.D. Dodder can only survive in the shade.（4）What is the purpose of the passage?A. To introduce a new variety of farm crops.B. To introduce plants that are harmful to humans.C. To introduce the special abilities of a dangerous plant.D. To introduce recent improvements in farming methods.【答案】（1）D（2）D（3）C（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一种有特殊生长习性，危害农作物生长的攀附植物——菟丝子。

高三英语阅读理解(社会文化)题20套(带答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解社会文化类1．阅读理解Theaters of the PastThe Greek TheaterTheaters developed in many parts of Greece. Ancient Greek theaters were built in natural open air sites on conveniently shaped hills. This allowed a great mass of people to enjoy a show at a time. Due to this, actors placed emphasis on exaggerated (夸张的) action and speech. And, colorful symbolic masks and costumes were used.The Medieval TheaterThe Medieval theater started in churches. That's why medieval plays were about Bible stories. At first, it became a custom for priests (牧师) to act out brief scenes during Christmas and Easter. These acts attracted large crowds. Finally the church refused to allow priests to participate in any such events again, so ordinary people began these performances outside. Performances were set in the town square, with several stage settings around it.The Elizabethan TheaterThe England's theater developed rapidly in the years following the defeat of the Spanish Navy. The dominant feature of Elizabethan theater was the stage. It has three parts: The fore stage for outside scenes; the inner stage for scenes inside a building; an upper stage or balcony for various purposes. The reason for this design is that there were no scene changes, or breaks during the play. Very little scenery was used, so the actors had to create a scene through their voices and dialogues. This led to a more poetic script, and poets became the main source of script writing.The Restoration TheaterSome of the plays told sad stories, but the majority of the plays were really funny. Many specialized machines were used to create the scene. The stage was a very clever idea , in that on the sides of the stage large back shutters (百叶窗) were painted with the scene.（1）Why were ancient Greek theaters built on hills?A.To hold a large audience.B.To build a big and strong stage.C.To have a better sound effect.D.To emphasize exaggerated performances.（2）In which theater could actors' voices and speech help create scenes?A.The Greek Theater.B.The Medieval Theater.C.The Elizabethan Theater.D.The Restoration Theater.（3）What is special about the Restoration Theater?A.Colorful masks were used.B.The stage was smartly designed.C.Most of its plays were sorrowful.D.Ordinary people were the performers.【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了四个古代的剧院。
