高考英语阅读理解练习4篇(附解析)

Some people are so rude!
Who sends an e­mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on Google? Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?
Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little politeness. But many social agreed standards just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.
In texts, you don’t have to declare who you are or even say hello. E­mail, too, is slower than a text. V oice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.
My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages, none of which I listened to. Exasperated, he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls. “Why are you leaving him voice mail？” my sister asked. “Just text him.”
In the age of the smartphone, there is no reason to ask once­acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a business’s phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, which can be easily found on Google Maps. But people still ask these things. And when you answer, they respond with a thank­you e­mail.
How to handle these differing standards? Easy. Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank­you message. Others, like me, want no reply.
The anthropologist (人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modern societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here’s hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that
time­wasting forms of communication do.

I love to read before I go to sleep.It usually makes me feel calm.But a big part of this depends on what I read.I love to read Oor Wullie and The Broons.Very often I'm smiling before I go to sleep.
I decide to write about this in a blog because I find that so many of us go to sleep with stress.Before we go to sleep，we may run over the day in our minds，and worry about tomorrow.We also may watch the news on TV，read the news on our smart phones or tablets，or even answer work emails.But the news is rarely proclaiming(宣告)all the good that's happening in the world and work emails make us feel that we're still at work.All these things may leave us a stressful sleep.
Oor Wullie and The Broons are not the only things I ever read at night.I sometimes read novels but，with the odd exception，I mostly avoid anything that is too mentally taxing or stimulating late at night unless it's something that inspires me or is clearly helpful in my life.
And even if I do read something mentally stimulating，when I feel myself getting tired I lay that book down and pick up a trusty old Oor Wullie or The Broons for the last 10 or 15 minutes.Doing this makes my mind quiet and helps ensure I get a peaceful night's sleep.Reading about Wullie or Maw and Paw Broon is like a comfort blanket for me.
I'd suggest you find light­hearted reading as a comfort blanket at bedtime，especially if you find yourself stressed or depressed a lot of the time，or if you find difficulty winding at the end of a day.It is the thing that can gently turn your attention towards lightness and ease.
If your material makes you laugh，then you may feel even better.Several studies show that laughter boosts happy chemicals in the brain，it strengthens the immune system，it's good for the heart，and it is most definitely good for mental health.It even helps us improve our relationships.
And if you do happen to pick up a copy of Oor Wullie or The Broons，I hope you find it just as entertaining as I do.
5．What can we learn about Oor Wullie and The Broons?
A．They make people run over the past days.
B．They are the best books to be read before people sleep.
C．They are extremely popular with young people.
D．They make people feel relaxed and happy.
6．What can we know from the text?
A．Oor Wullie and The Broons are the author's favorite books.
B．A comfortable blanket makes people go to sleep easily.
C．The author sometimes reads something about inspirations.
D．Reading something stimulating at night helps get a peaceful sleep.
7．What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?
A．What material brings us laughter.
B．How laughter affects our health.
C．What benefits laughter brings to us.
D．Why laughter is good for us.
8．What's the main purpose of the text?
A．To show the importance of reading before sleeping.

The American travel website company TripAdvisor publishes a list of the world's best beaches every year.Today，we are going to explore some of this year's top 10 beaches in the world.
1．Baia do Sancho，Brazil
It is named as this year's best beach in the world.Its water is calm and clear.Its sand is fine and soft.But getting to Baia do Sancho is not so easy.It is on Fernando de Noronha，a volcanic island more than 300 kilometers off Brazil's coast.Travelers must take a plane or boat from major cities in northern Brazil to get there.And no more than 420 visitors can be on the island at one time.
2．Grace Bay，Turks and Caicos
While Baia do Sancho is difficult to get to，TripAdvisor's second­ranked beach could not be much easier for tourists to reach.
This beach has impossibly clean and clear waters and pure white sand.Its calm
waters make it extremely safe for swimming，snorkeling，or simply floating.Once on land，many visitors enjoy walking—barefoot—for several kilometers on the soft，warm sand.
3．Eagle Beach，Aruba
To get to the third­best beach，we head south to the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba.Like Grace Bay，Eagle Beach has clear，calm waters and soft white sand.
It offers visitors a chance to try different water sports，including tubing and jet skiing.Eagle Beach may be best known，however，for its dramatic sunsets.On clear nights，the sky turns red，orange，and purple.
4．Playa Paraiso，Cuba
The fourth­best beach is Playa Paraiso，an island off Cuba's southern coast.It has a fun，laid­back restaurant for those who wish to eat and drink.There is little else on the beach.And that is exactly what visitors like about it.People come here for the sugar­like sand and calm waters filled with colorful wildlife.
12．Which of the following is true about Baia do Sancho?
A．It receives thousands of visitors each time.
B．It can only be visited by plane.
C．It is near the Brazil's coast.
D．It is hard to reach.

学会了发语音消息，可是我一条都没有听，他打电话给我妹妹表示不满（his dissatisfaction）。

推理题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，作出一定判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。

推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话，也可是某几句话，但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据，既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理，也不能根据表面文字信息做多步推理。

根据事实细节，推断合理信息。

也就是说，要做到判断有据, 推论有理, 忠实原文。

切忌用自己的观点代替作者的本意，切忌片面思考，得出片面结论。

如第4小题根据第一段中的“I love to read before I go to sleep.It usually makes me feel calm.”及第四段第二句“Doing this makes my mind quiet and helps ensure that I get a peaceful sleep.”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是证明睡前有一个好心情的重要性。
