It was the song of the wolf howling in a distant forest. There were many wolves then.

【英语】英语阅读理解专项习题及答案解析(1)

一、中考英语阅读理解汇编1．阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

In 1845, a deadly disease struck the farms of Ireland, killing all the Lumper potato plants. In another place or time, the death of single crop species （物种）might not have been so important. But in Ireland, in 1845, people depended almost solely on the potato for food. The death of one species caused a terrible famine（饥荒）. Now, some scientists are worried that such a famine could happen again, but on a much wider scale.Over the centuries, farmers have discovered thousands of different species of food crops. Each species has special qualities. Some can be grown in very hot or cold climates. Others are not affected by certain diseases. However, you won't find many of these species in your local supermarket. To feed the seven billion people on Earth, most farmers today are growing only species of plants and farming only species of animals that are easy to produce in large numbers. For example, in the Philippines, there were once thousands of varieties of rice: now fewer than 100 are grown there. In China, 90 percent of the wheat varieties grown just a century ago have disappeared. Scientists believe that over the past century, we have allowed more than half of the world's food varieties to disappear.One solution to this problem is to collect and store the seeds （种子） as many different plant varieties as we can before they disappear. The idea was first suggested by Russian scientist Nikolay Vavilov. In the 1920s and 1930s, he collected around 400,000 seeds from five contients. More recently, others are continuing the work he began.In the U.S. state of Iowa, Diane Ott Whealy wanted to protect historic plant varieties, like the seeds her great –grandfather brought to the U.S. from Germany more than a hundred years ago. She and her husband started a place called Heritage Farm, where people can store and trade seeds.More importantly, the people at Heritage Farm don't just store the seeds; they plant them. By doing this, they are reintroducing foods into the marketplace that haven't been grown for years. These food species are not just special in terms of appearance or taste. They also offer farmers food solutions for the future, from the past.（1）What is this passage mainly about?A. The need to protect different food species.B. How to increase the number of food species.C. The fact that many food species are dying out.D. How to prevent food species from disappearing.（2）Why are some scientists worried that such a famine could happen again?A. Because people depend on certain species of food crops.B. Because the same deadly disease may attack crops again.C. Because the world's population is larger than that in 1845.D. Because farmers grow the same potatoes as those in the past.（3）The following sentence would best be placed at the end of ________.Meanwhile, thousands of other species are dying out.A. Paragraph 1B. Paragraph 2C. Paragraph 3D. Paragraph 4（4）What can we learn from the passage?A. The disease spread very quickly and killed thousands of people in Ireland.B. Around 80 percent of the rice varieties in the Philippines have disappeared.C. People have been storing seeds to save plane varieties for less than 100 years.D. Heritage Farm is the first place in the U.S. for people to store and trade seeds.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）B（4）A【解析】【分析】主要讲了人们发现方法来阻止食物物种消失。

高一--英语--阅读理解--高等难度二十一Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history.Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the world forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.① Why should people care? Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more.Animals are more than just beautiful and interesting.② They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature (生态平衡). Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems.For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks (老鹰), the farmers stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice. With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied(繁殖)quickly.Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid (禁止) the killing of any animals or plants on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.根据文章内容，选择正确答案：1. Animals are important to us mainly because____ .A. they give us a source of foodB. they are beautiful and lovelyC. they keep the balance of natureD. they give us a lot of pleasure2.

Animals in danger will be kept away from people.二十二As one comes to some crossroads, he or she sees a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead.At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road; and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.Mr Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad. It had a “SLOW” sign. He slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.At once he heard a police whistle (口哨声), so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped.A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said, “You didn t stop at that crossing.”“But the sign there doesn't say ‘STOP’.” answered Mr Williams, “It just says ‘SLOW’, and I did go slow.”The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face.Then he put his notebook and pen away, scratched (抓) his head and said, “Well，I'm in the wrong street！”根据文章内容，选择正确答案：1. Mr Williams was driving ____ one evening.A. to a partyB. to his officeC. home after workD. to work from home2.

Mr Williams would not apologize to him二十三Accidents happen almost every day. Some accidents are not serious and some are. We read about such accidents nearly every day in the newspapers. It is wrong for people to think that accidents take place only on the roads or highways, or even at work places. Home accidents are just as common. Because very few home accidents are reported, people come to think that there are few accidents which happen in homes.There have been many cases where people fall to their deaths from high rise flats.① Children often fall over while coming down the stairs. Old people may slip (滑跤) on wet floors if they are not careful.Nowadays there are a lot of modern electrical appliances (电器) such as rice cookers which make life easy for the modern house wives. These appliances can kill if they are not used in the proper way. Gas stoves (煤气灶) used for cooking are also dangerous if they are not properly used. They may cause burns or, in more serious cases, even fires.②But all such accidents can be stopped if we are careful and follow simple rules of safety. For example, it is unwise for people to try repairing their own electrical appliances if they do not know how to. It is safer to get them repaired by an electrician (电工).根据文章内容，选择正确答案：1. Accidents take place ____.A. mostly in homesB. mostly on roads and highwaysC. mostly in factoriesD. almost everywhere2. Which of the following accidents may NOT happen in homes?A. People may fall to death from high buildings.B. People may be knocked down by cars on the roads.C. Gas stoves may cause burns or even fires.D. People may be killed by an electrical appliance.3. People are advised____ .A. to avoid using electrical appliancesB. to repair their own electrical appliancesC. not to repair their own electrical appliancesD. not to get their electrical appliances fixed二十四Ellen Parker was worried about her health. She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stairs. She was soon out of breath.“I suppose I had better go to the doctor.” she thought.She went to the doctor and told him her problem.“I'm not at all su r prised.” he said, “I know what your problem is.”He examined her and then gave her some advice.“If you don t do what I say, Mrs Parker,” he said, “You will have a heart attack (心脏病发作). It could kill you.”Ellen was very worried as she left the doctor s. She knew that she had to take his advice but that it would not be easy and it would take time.The next day she went shopping. The first shop she went into was a butcher shop (肉铺).“I'd like ten pounds of steak (牛排), please.” she said.“Certainly, madam.” the butcher replied and went into the cold room and found a large piece of steak. He brought the huge piece of meat back into the shop and placed it on the scale (称).“That's just ten pounds.” he said.“That's big enough.” Mrs Parker said.The butcher worked out the price.“At S｜4.99 a pound that will be S｜49.90, please. Would you like me to cut it up into smaller pieces for you?”“Oh, I don't want to buy the meat.” Mrs Parker said.“If you don't want to buy it,” the butcher replied angrily, “Why did you ask me to get it for you?”“My doctor told me that I am too heavy and have to lose ten pounds. I wanted to see what ten pounds of meat looked like.”根据文章内容，选择正确答案：1. Why did Ellen Parker visit the doctor?A. She had a heart attack.B. She had a problem with her health.C.

She was often out of breath.D. She could not walk very quickly.二十五When someone says, “Well, I guess I'll have to face the music”, it doesn't mean that he is planning to go to hear a singer or attend a concert. It is something far less unhappy than you are called in by your leader to explain why you did this and that or why you did not do this or that.At some time or another, every one of us has to “face the music”, especially (尤其) as children. We can all remember father s angry words “I want to talk to you”. And only because we did not listen to him. What a bad thing it was!In the middle or at the end of every term, we students have to “face the music”. The result of the exam will decide whether we will face the music or not. If...that means parents cold faces and contempt (轻视) of the teachers and classmates.“To face the music” is well known to every American, young or old. It is at least 100 years old. It really means that you have to do something, no matter (无论) how terrible the whole thing might be, because you know you have no choice.根据文章内容，选择正确答案：1. “To face the music” means “to____ ”.A. do something that we don t like toB. go to the theatreC. go to the music showD. do something that we want to2.

Only the old in the United States know the meaning of “to face the music”.二十六Julia lived in the countryside, but one year she decided to visit the capital city to do some shopping and to see the sights. She stayed at a hotel near the central market. She had seldom been to the city before, and was very excited about what she would find.On the first morning of her visit, as she walked from the hotel to the market, she passed a beggar (乞丐). He was holding up a notice, which said, “Blind from birth. Please give generously(慷慨地).”Julia felt sorry for the blind beggar and she bent down and put a dollar coin into his bowl.“Thank you.” he said.The same thing happened again the following day. On the third day, however, Julia did not have a dollar coin. She had only fifty cents, so she dropped this into the beggar s bowl.“What have I done wrong?” the beggar said, “Why are you so stingy (吝啬的) today?”Julia was very surprised at what the beggar said.“How do you know I haven't given you a dollar?” she said, “If you re blind you can't know what coin I put into your bowl.”“Ah,” explained the beggar,“The truth is that I'm not blind. I'm just looking after this place for the regular beggar while he s on holiday.”“On holiday?” Julia said, “And what exactly does your blind friend do on holiday?”“He goes into the countryside,”the man said, “and takes photographs. He's a very good photographer.”根据文章内容，选择正确答案：1. Where was the beggar sitting?A. Between Julia's hotel and the market.B. In the busiest part of the city.C. Outside the shops.D. In the market.2.

These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give theminjections(注射)so that they won't carry disease. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people's houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a feeding place for birds in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be that their family ties are not as close as ours.When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely, but pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.根据文章内容，选择正确答案：1.

After explaining (解释) where my new house was, I told him that I had left the key under the doormat (门垫). Since I knew it would be pretty late before I could get home, I suggested that he make himself at home and help himself to anything that was in the refrigerator(电冰箱).Two hours later my friend phoned me from the house. At the moment, he said, he was listening to some of my records after having had a delicious meal. Now, he said, he was drinking a glass of orange juice. When I asked him if he had had any difficulty finding the house, he answered that the only problem was that he had not been able to find the key under the doormat, but luckily, the living room window by the apple tree had been left open and he had climbed in through the window. I listened to all this in great surprise.There is no apple tree outside my window, but there is one by the living room window of my next door neighbor's house!根据文章内容，选择正确答案：1. An old friend of mine called ______.A. to tell me to meet him at the airportB. to tell me about his arrivalC. to ask me to leave the officeD. to ask me to make plans for his arrival2.

My friend telephoned me two hours later ______ .A. from my homeB. at the airportC. in his officeD. from my neighbor's house二十九If you know me well, you know I don't like birthday parties. At least, I don't like birthday parties given for me.I enjoy them when they re for other people, but when they re for me, I just don't like them.I remember one birthday party some friends of mine had for me when I was a student at the university. Of course, I had told my best friend Henry that I didn't want a party and I made him promise he wouldn't do anything. He agreed. I should have known better than to believe him.On the day of my birthday, we got home from school at about, oh, I don't know, three or half past three. We went inside and as usual I went into the bathroom and started to close the door when suddenly from behind the shower curtain (浴帘), akind of strange female(女) voice started singing, “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.”And then from all over the room, people joined in. There were about fifteen people hiding everywhere in the room.They had got my roommate's key and got in earlier. They had all planned to come out of the hiding place just at the same time while singing. I guess I really upset their plans by going in just to wash my hands.根据文章内容，选择正确答案：1. Which of the following sentences is NOT true?A. I got home from school at 3 or 3:30 on the day of my birthday.B. I dislike birthday parties held for me.C. Henry agreed that he would not do anything on my birthday.D. I knew there were some of my friends hiding in my room.2. I usually went into the ______ when I got home from school.A. living roomB. bedroomC. bathroomD. dining room3. What did my friends plan to do?A. They planned to leave the room as soon as possible.B. They planned to sing as loudly as they could.C. They planned to eat in the bathroom.D. They had planned to come out of hiding places together.三十In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fairweather friends.They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities (品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others.

有关英国的阅读文章及答案英文After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations —major food sources (来源) for the wolf –grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’ s red foxes, and completely drove away the park’ s beavers.As early as 1966,biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park.They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems.Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers. The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone.Today,the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in atYellowstone.Elk,deer,and coyote populations are down,while beavers and red fores have made a comeback.The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.28.What is the text mainly about?A.Wildlife research in the United States.B.Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.C.The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.D.The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.29.What doe s the underlined word “displaced” in paragraph 2 mean?A.Tested.B.Separated.C.Forced out.D.Tracked down.30.What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about?A.Damage to local ecology.B.A decline in the park’s income.C.Preservation of vegetation.D.An increase in the variety of animals.31.What is the author’s attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project?A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Disapproving.D.Uncaring.答案28.D 29.C 30.A 31.B。
