2020年高考英语专题复习阅读理解-日常生活类(10篇) 三
A

I walked up to the counter.Behind it was a lady with glasses on the tip of her nose
and gray hair on her head.
“Excuse me,”I said.She looked up.“You’re that Clements kid,”she said.“I’m Miss e closer and let me get a look at you.”She pushed her glasses up her nose.“I can describe you to the police if something goes missing from the store.”
“I’m not a thief!”I was shocked.I was seven too young to be a thief!
“From what I can see you’re not much of anything.But I can tell you’ve got potential.”She went back to reading her newspaper.
“I need to get these.”I said, holding up my list.“So? Go get them.”Miss Bee pointed to a sign on the screen door.“I’m not your servant, so I suggest you get yourself a basket and start filling.”
I visited Miss Bee several times a week that summer.Sometimes she short-changed
me.Other times she overcharged.“That can of beans is only twenty nine cents”I corrected her one afternoon.I had watched the numbers change on the cash register closely, and Miss Bee had added 35 cents.She didn't seem embarrassed.She just looked at me over her glasses and fixed the price.
But she ever let me declare victory.All summer long she found ways to play tricks on me.No sooner had I learned how to pronounce bicarbonate of soda(小苏打) and memorized its location on the shelf than Miss Bee rearranged the shelve and made me hunt for it all over again.
One day before I left, she said, “I know what you think of me, but I don't care!
Each of us is put on this earth for a reason.I believe my job is to teach every child I meet life lessons.When you get older you'll be glad our paths crossed!”Glad
I met Miss Bee？Ha! The idea was absurd…
Until one day my daughter asked me to finish her math problems.“If I do it for you how will you ever learn to do it yourself?”I said.Suddenly, I remembered the lady Miss Bee.
（1）The girl felt __________ when Miss Bee implied she could be a thief.
A.surprised
B.shocked
C.puzzled
D.annoyed
（2）We can infer from Paragraph 6 that Miss Bee ______________.
A.showed no care about her mistakes
B.made the girl learn to double-check
C.was always playing tricks on the girl
D.was careless and dishonest to do business
（3）It can be learned from the passage that Miss Bee ______________.
A.knew her job was to help every child she met
B.asked the girl to shop by herself to test her honesty
C.taught the girl many lessons but she didn't understand
D.rearranged the shelves to teach the girl to be changeable
（4）Which is NOT the lesson the writer learnt from shopping?

Owning a smart phone may not be as smart as you think.They may let you surf the Internet,
listen to music and snap photos wherever you are...but they also turn you into a workaholic (工作狂).A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day.
Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.The study by technology retailer Pixmania, shows the average UK working day is between nine and ten hours, but a further two hours is spent
responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls.Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work
emails.Some workers confess (坦白) they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they take work emails and calls outside their normal working hours.Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up, while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night.Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said, “The ability to access millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smart phones valuable for many
people.However, there are drawbacks.Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smart phones mean that people cannot get away from work.The more constantly in contact we become, the more is expected of us in a work capacity (容量).”
（1）The text is probably taken from __________.
A.a scientific report
B.a financial report
C.a newspaper
D.a travel journal
（2）The underlined word “drawbacks” in the last paragraph probably means __________.
A.disagreements
B.disadvantages
C.mistakes
D.features
（3）Ghadi may agree that __________.
A.employees are supposed to be on call 24 hours a day
B.the ability to access many apps made smart phones worthless
C.smart phones might turn a person into a workaholic
D.people cannot get away from work without smart phones
C

Football, to me, is more than just a game.I have probably learned more than valuable lessons from it than from school.
When I joined the team freshman year, I didn’t realize what I was getting into.Even though I had been playing since fourth grade and knew it was hard work, nothing would prepare me for the effort I would put into football that year.We worked all summer in the weight room and ran on the track to get in physical and mental shape before the season.
See, football is more of a mental sport than anything else, so running on the track wasn’t only about getting in shape.We would push our minds by running as hard as we could even if we felt like we were going to pass out.At the beginning, I was immature (幼稚的) and only thought of myself, sometimes even giving up when I was tired or hurting.Then after the third game I had a season-ending injury.Imagine working all summer and then only being able to play three games! I needed an operation on my arm and at least five months to recover.
After freshman year I decided that I would always give my best effort.Playing football in the college has taught me so much more than just what my tasks are on
a particular play or how to block.I have learned to think about others first, and
realized how important working hard is.Being with all my friends, even sweating and bleeding with them, really made us unite as a group of hard-working young men, who will succeed in life.
（1）What is the text mainly about?
A.How the author dislikes the game of football.
B.When the author began to play football.
C.How the author has changed his attitude to football.
D.What sport the author likes best.
（2）The author thinks football is ________.
A.just a game
B.of a mental sport
C.hard to be out-of-date
D.not worth his effort
（3）In the third paragraph, the phrase “getting in shape” probably means ________.
A.becoming physically fit
B.designing the playground
C.losing weight
D.measuring the track

It was a winter morning，just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005.While most people were warming up their cars，Trevor，my husband，had to get up early to ride
his bike four kilometers away from home to work.On arrival，he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does.After putting in 10 hours of labor，he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike，a black Kona 18 speed，was our only transport.Trevor used it to get to work，putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family.And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货)，saving us from having to walk along long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and
told them our story.Shortly after that，several people in our area offered to help.One wonderful stranger even bought a bike，then called my husband to pick it up.Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job.It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another，but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so.This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole.And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we，too，can share with others.No matter how big or how small，an act of kindness shows that someone cares.And the results can be everlasting.
（1）Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A.They used it for work and daily life.
B.It was their only possession (财产).
C.It was a nice Kona 18 speed.
D.The man‘s job was bike racing.
（2）We can infer from the passage that __________.

C.the stranger brought over the bike
D.life was hard for the young family
（3）How did people get to know the couple‘s problem?
A.From a stranger.
B.From a newspaper.
C.From TV news
D.From radio broadcasts.
（4）What do the couple learn from their experience?
A.Strangers are usually of little help.
B.One should take care of their bike.
C.News reports make people famous.
D.An act of kindness can mean a lot.
（5）From this story，we can see humanity is __________.
A.selfish
mercial
C.kind
D.cold-hearted

Everyone needs friends.There is an old saying, "Friends are God's way of taking care of us." But how do you find real friendship and keep it?
The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends.Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree.You plant the seed (种子) and take care of it to make it grow.
First, you should choose a friend.What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks.A good friend should be kind and patient.For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help.To make a friend, you cannot be too shy.You should make each other happy and share your lives.
But things cannot always be happy.Even the best friends have fights(吵架).What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her.When there is no one around, have an honest talk.If he or she doesn't want to talk, you could write a letter.There are three steps to being friends again: Tell him or her how you are feeling, say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that.Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.

As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost.These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much.There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains(窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind.A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day.My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast.I would lie very still so that the "enemy(敌人) " would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school.Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home.That was no problem.After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street,
I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange
places.On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others.Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.
One of the processes(过程) growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears.Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.
（1）The author had _________kind(s) of fears when she was a child.
A.one
B.two
C.three
D.none
（2）When she went to some other places, she would _________.
A.walk away without others
B.take a bus by herself
C.follow others closely
D.make sure not to take a wrong bus
（3）Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child?
A.She was usually popular among people.
B.She was always the leader of the others.
C.She always got poor grades.
D.She was not at all liked by others.
（4）The underlined word "overcome" in the last paragraph means "_________" in Chinese.
A.接受
B.忍受
C.信服
D.克服

We chat with our colleagues all the time: when we have lunch, gossip in the tearoom, or leave work together.
Sharing your personal life brings you closer to your co-workers and builds trust within your team.But revealing too much about yourself to colleagues or managers can cause difficulties and even endanger your work.
It’s vital to strike the right balance between getting along with colleagues and keeping your privacy safe.“As a matter of fact, it takes skills to communicate in the office.You can neither chat too much, nor be too silent and shut yourself off from others,” said Yang Yudan, vice HR director (人事经理) at P&G.According to her, there are several safe topics to talk about with colleagues during the break, such as weather or movies.Women like to talk about makeup and clothing, while men are fond of sports and online games.
But discussing your private life, such as relationship, habits or health conditions, is potentially risky.Cui Xia, 21, who has been working for an IT company for only
2 months, learned this hard way when she found out that everyone knew she had broken
up with her boyfriend.“I spoke about it with two colleagues in the tearoom and told my friend via phone, and then the news spread.” And her boss finally heard about it and asked her not to let it affect her work performance.
Sometimes revealing private matters in a thoughtless manner can result in disastrous consequences.Liang Kun, 26, had to resign from his job at a trading company last week after discussing his income with colleagues during a lunch break.“I didn’t realize it was such a serious issue until a senior member of staff went to find the boss, asking why I got a higher salary than her,” said Liang.“Then our HR told me it’s forbidden to talk about payments in the office.” HR expert Yang Yudan also reminds us that paychecks are your own business.It’s unwise to share this information with others, no matter how close you are.
To sum up, Yang Yudan advises office workers to be more aware of their images when talking to colleagues.“When you share your personal life, it will be recorded on your invisible resume (无形的简历) and may slow down your career progression.”
（1）Which of the following topics is NOT suitable when chatting in the office?
A.Makeup
B.Football matches
C.Annual earnings
shows such as Running Man
（2）We may know from the passage that ________.
A.women often talk more about their personal affairs than men.
B.to avoid getting into trouble, you’d better keep silent at work.
C.it’s wise to talk about how much you earn each month with your colleagues.
D.revealing too much about your privacy may have a negative effect on your career.
（3）What’s the purpose of the passage?
A.To mention a phenomenon.
B.To provide some suggestions.
C.To give professional guides.
D.To offer necessary warnings.
（4）The best title for this passage is ________.
A.At work, No chatting!
B.Desire for privacy.
C.At work, Keep it to yourself!
D.Learn to respect others’ privacy.

Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗) ? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.
For example , some might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票).It was great.Itook that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars! ”
This guy is a winner , right? Maybe , maybe not.We then discover that he
bought $200 worth oftickets, and only one was a winner.He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose.That’s called a half-truth.Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Some politicians often use this trick.Let’s say that during Governor Smith's last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs.Then she seeks another term.One of her opponents says, “ During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs !” That’s true.However, an honest statement would have been , “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths.It’s against the law to make false statements, so they try to mislead you with the truth.An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of deception happens too often.It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
（1）We may infer that the author believes people should _______.
A.buy lottery tickets if possible
B.make use of half-truths
C.be careful about what they are told
D.not trust the Yucky Company
（2）How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?
A.one
B.Two
C.Three
D.Four
（3）Which of the following is true according to the passage?
ing half truths is against the law.
B.Technically, half truths are in fact lies.
C.Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.
ernor Smith did a good job during her last term.

“Wake up.Alicia is waiting for you outside,” my mother called from the kitchen.My mother didn’t like me going for this weekend to my friend’s house in the mountains.
“I trust you, but I don’t trust the people out there,” she said seriously.“I’m going to be fine,” were my last words before closing the door of the Jeep.The vehicle went along the dusty road and my mother grew smaller in the distance.
The trip over the rough road was uncomfortable.It was scary to climb the steep hills surrounded by great pines.After a long trip we finally arrived at the house.From the moment I got there I knew I would forever love the house.It was decorated like an old country home.My room was small, yet set u p nicely.That night I went to sleep early, not because I didn’t want to continue my search, but because I was tired after the long trip.
In the morning, the singing of the birds woke me up.The light was just getting through the window.A strong smell of baking and fresh coffee came from the kitchen.I wandered
around looking for a living soul, but the house was empty.I had the whole day to myself; my friend had gone hiking.I didn’t want to go with her.The main reason for this trip was to spend some time alone to think about the events happening in my life.
After an icy shower, my energies were at their fullest.With basket in hand, I started my hunt.I did not mind walking alone; it was a wonderful feeling to be in contact with nature for the first time.The sound of the water running through the rocks gave me great peace.I never felt such independence in my soul before.

Every Wednesday, I go to Cantata Adult Life Services, a local retirement community in Brookfield, Illinois, US, with my classmates to do community service.
After my very first visit to Cantata, my life changed forever.That may sound
a bit dramatic, but volunteering with the elderly has changed my views on life.
Our visits last about an hour, and we bring 25-30 students every time.We play board games and cards with the residents while we’re there.
You can watch all the movies and TV shows you want about “life back then”, but nothing compares to talking to the people who were actually there.Just hearing their stories has touched me in a way I never thought possible.
Whether it was talking to 98-year-old “Hurricane Hilda” about her glory days as a roller skater or chatting with Lou about the times she danced with a famous actor, I was completely attracted by every single memory the residents wanted to share with me.
Even the residents who don’t have amazing memories make the experience satisfying.I remember visiting Mrs Robinson.She couldn’t recall much about her past, but she told me she’d never forget how kind I was just to listen to her “rambling (漫谈)”.It made me realize that it’s the little things that make life worth living.That’s something I won’t forget anytime soon.
If there’s one thing I’ve realized in my three years of visiting Cantata, it’s that presence – just being there – means more than anythi ng to many of the residents.And despite how busy our lives are, there’s always time to make someone’s day.
For me, it feels great to be a source of happiness, a smile on a bad day or a listening ear for old memories.And at the end of the day, that’s all that matters. It’s easy to feel like you don’t have anything in common with the elderly –especially when you’re a teenager.But that’s not true at all.
I hate to be overly clichéd (陈词滥调的) here, but age really is just a number.As young adults, it’s important for us to realize this sooner rather than later.We can learn a lot from the elderly, and they can often benefit from teenagers too. （1）What do the volunteers do according to the passage?
A.They share everything with the residents.
B.They play board games and cards with the residents.
C.They watch the residents play games.
D.They buy gifts for the residents.
（2）According to the writer, what is the most important thing that volunteers can do for
the elderly?
A.Playing with them.
B.Benefiting from them.
C.Helping them.
D.Being there with them.
（3）What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage ?
A.We don’t have anything in common with the elderly.
B.Age is just a number.
C.It is important to help the elderly.
D.Young adults and the elderly can benefit from each other.
