【英语】高考英语阅读理解(人物故事)试题(有答案和解析)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1．阅读理解On a recent trip to the island of Newfoundland, Canada, my husband asked our talkative cab driver what made him most proud to be from there."Our generosity and hospitality (好客)," he replied in a strong local accent. "Your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, someone will stop to help. People here are kind like that."His answer lingered in my mind during that ride with my husband and teenage kids, as we headed out to explore on the first day of our vacation.Little did I know we were about to experience some of that remarkable Newfoundland kindness for ourselves.We met Alma that same morning at the start of a long hike.Our teenagers hurried ahead, and as we walked behind, admiring the scenery, two women in sunglasses and summer hiking gear stopped.They'd heard us discussing different routes, then asked if we'd like suggestions.They looked to be in their 40s, and were both enthusiastic to share their local expertise.We listened eagerly, taking mental notes, until one of the women asked, "You have a car, right?"I explained that there were no cars available during our week on the island, so we had to rely on cabs instead."Oh no," she said, "you need a car." And then, as casually as if offering a piece of chewing gum (口香糖), she said: "Take mine!"Dumbfounded, my husband and I just smiled in disbelief."Why not?" She insisted. "You need a car to get to know all these places.""But you don't even know us," I said."That doesn't matter," she continued with absolute determination.Stunned, I looked over at her friend, who shrugged and said, "That's Alma."Forty minutes of talking later, my family climbed into Alma's car.We spent the rest of our vacation discovering different areas of this beautiful island.But it wasn't the groups of whales we saw, or the vast areas of woodland, that made this place so memorable.Instead, it was the act of kindness from a complete stranger that made us realize how special Newfoundland really was.Next year, there's no doubt where we'll be taking our summer vacation. Who knows what act of kindness we'll meet then?（1）What problem did the author's family have in Newfoundland?A.They couldn't understand the local accent.B.Their car broke down on the first day.C.They got lost during a hike.D.They didn't have a car.（2）The underlined word "dumbfounded" in Paragraph 12 is closest in meaning to ______.A.shockedB.satisfiedC.relievedD.embarrassed（3）What impressed the author most during her stay in Newfoundland?A.The talkative cab driver.B.The whales swimming.C.The beautiful scenery of the island.D.The help from an enthusiastic stranger.（4）What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph?A.She is looking forward to meeting Alma once more.B.She expects to visit Newfoundland again.C.She hasn't decided where to go next year.D.She also wants to be kind to others during vacation.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）D（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者最近一次去加拿大的纽芬兰旅行时，被当地人的热情好客深深触动。

The owner of Haven Studios, Andre "Add-2" Daniels, said Dubois claimed he was "young at heart." So, Daniels decided to listen to Dubois' music. He was completely floored. Daniels quickly took videos showcasing Dubois' talents and posted them to Twitter. His tweet went viral, receiving thousands of reactions within a matter of days. Now, Dubois' talents have even caught the attention of some famous hip-hop producers."It's not what you would expect, right?" Daniels says in one of the videos. Dubois music is playing in the background, giving a steady beat that easily invites listeners to dance.Dubois said his style was entirely self-taught.

Daniels has helped Dubois set up accounts on Twitter and Instagram for his fans to follow, "I'd never used Instargram, Twitter and all that other stuff," Dubois said. "Because I didn't believe in that stuff myself. But now I've got to have it."

Sam and I developed a very special bond over the next years.At one point, my husband and I decided to move to a new home in New Jersey. Our neighbor, whose cat had recently had kittens, asked if we would like one. We were a little apprehensive about Sam's jealousy and how he would handle his turf（地盘）being invaded, but we decided to risk it.We picked a little, gray, playful ball of Fur. She raced around chasing imaginary mice and squirrels and jumped from table to chair in the blink of an eye, so we named her Lightning.At first, Sam and Lightning were very cautious with each other and kept their distance. But slowly, Lightning started following Sam — up the stairs, down the stairs, into the kitchen. Later, when they slept, it was always together; when they ate, it was always next to each other. When I took either one out, the other was always waiting by the door when we returned. That was the way it was for years.Then, without any warning, Sam was diagnosed as having a weak heart. I had no other choice but to have him put down. The pain was nothing compared with what I experienced when I had to walk into our house alone. This time, there was no Sam for Lightning to greet and no way to explain why she would never see her friend again.In the following days, Lightning seemed heart-broken. I could see the disappointment in her eyes whenever anyone opened the front door, or the hope whenever she heard a dog bark.One day as I walked into our living room, I happened to see Lightning was lying next to the sculptured replica（复制品）of Sam that we had bought a few years ago, one arm wrapped around the statue's neck, contentedly sleeping with her best friend.（1）What does the underlined word "apprehensive" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Shocked.B. Curious.C. Worried.D. Eager.（2）How did Sam get along with Lightning at first?A. Lightning followed Sam everywhere it went.B. They fought with each other fiercely.C. They kept a certain distance from each other.D. Sam was unfriendly to Lightning.（3）What can we infer from the text?A. Lightning knew Sam had died.B. Sam means a lot to Lightning.C. We took Lightning home to accompany Sam.D. Sam came back to stay with Lightning again.（4）What can be the best title of the text?A. The Friendship between Sam and LightningB.

高考英语阅读理解(人物故事)真题汇编(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1．阅读理解Jon Hoffman was sitting at a red light when he saw a man run out of a store carrying a plastic donation jar full of cash. The Plano, Texas, detective, dressed in plain clothes but wearing his badge (徽章) and gun, caught the man and pinned him to the hood of his car. But Hoffman had trouble containing the thief, and they got into a struggle."The detective has a martial arts background, and he said he thought the suspect must have a martial arts background, too, because he was able to break away so easily," a Plano police spokesperson said.The detective called out for help as a crowd gathered. Among those watching: Andre Harvey and Kirby Sample, two day laborers. Harvey did what has become common these days—he took out his phone and hit record. "I hate to say it, but I thought that this policeman was doing something illegal," Harvey said. "But when he asked for help, I thought, well, there won't be a shooting if I get over there in time.” Harvey jumped into action—while he was still recording the video—as did Sample."Harvey caught hold of the suspect's arms, while Kirby seized his legs, and they were able to get the suspect to the ground to help Detective Hoffman put the handcuffs (手铐) on," said the police spokesperson. The 27-year-old suspect was charged with resisting arrest and other offenses. The charity jar he stole held less than $ 50."I've been on the wrong side of the law several times in my life," Harvey told WFAA. "It feels good to be on the right side and do something positive."After the arrest, the three men got to know each other over steaks and ribs at a local steak house—Hoffman's treat, as a thank-you. But the rescuers say Hoffman deserves credit too. "It could have turned real ugly." Sample told the media "He handled himself like a real professional."（1）What made Hoffman call for help when arresting the suspect?A. He was not on duty.B. He needed witnesses to support him.C. He wanted to push the thief into the car.D. He couldn't control the suspect.（2）Why did Harvey and Kirby record the scene at the beginning?A. To follow the fashion.B. To keep track of the criminal.C. To record the detective's violence.D. To avoid being involved in the incident.（3）What can be inferred about Harvey?A. He was ready to violate the law.B. He might have had some illegal behaviour.C. He was out of work at that time.D. He had a good martial arts background.（4）What is Harvey and Sample's attitude towards Hoffman?A. Appreciative.B. Prejudiced.C. Skeptical.D.

英语阅读理解(人物故事)试题类型及其解题技巧含解析一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1．阅读理解A thrilling polar competition between two adventurers to cross Antarctica alone, unsupported and unassisted had a happy ending with both explorers achieving the unprecedented feat (功绩). American professional athlete Colin O'Brady and British Army Captain Louis Rudd set off a mile apart at the same time on November 3, 2018, from the Atlantic coast with the aim to become the first person to ski across the remote continent alone.Louis Rudd maintained the lead at first. However, O'Brady caught up with Rudd on November10 and never let the British man get close to him again. O'Brady was the first to conquer the 930 mile icy land, arriving at the Ross Ice Shelf on the Pacific coast by way of the South Pole on December 26, 2018. The 33-year-old spent 54 days skiing the world's coldest continent while pulling a 300-pound sled(雪橇) with supplies.Instead of leaving the harsh environment after completing the historic adventure, the explorer set up a tent on the world's largest ice sheet and waited patiently for Rudd to complete the great undertaking. On December 29, just three days after O'Brady arrived, the British explorer finished his adventure, becoming the world's second person to complete the solo crossing of the frozen continent.Rudd was not disappointed at being second since he never considered it to be a "race". Besides, the 49-year-old British Army Captain had a more selfless motive for attempting the feat. He was doing it in memory of his friend Henry Worsley, who had introduced him to polar exploration. The disaster happened while Worsley was trying to cross the continent alone in 2016. Rudd said, "I didn't want to get drawn into a race. All that mattered to me was that I completed it, and that I skied solo and unsupported, carrying the flag with Henry's name on it."After spending a few days camping 10 feet away from each other, the two adventurers were picked up by a helicopter to the South Pole scientific research station.（1）What do Colin O'Brady and Louis Rudd have in common?A. They became the first explorers to cross Antarctica alone, unaided.B. They became the first adventurers to ski across Antarctica.C. This is the first time that they have arrived at the South pole.D. They crossed Antarctica in honor of their friend Henry Worsley.（2）What do you know about the first leg(第一段賽程) of the race？A. O'Brady skied along with Louis Rudd side by side.B. O'Brady's sled with food supplies broke down.C. Louis Rudd lost the tag with Henry's name on it.D. O'Brady fell behind Louis Rudd for the first week.（3）What can we infer about Henry Worsley?A. He used to encourage O' Brady to explore the Antarctic.B. He lost his life in a terrible traffic accident in 2016.C. He died while he was attempting to cross the Antarctic alone.D. He helped Louis Rudd complete the historic adventure.（4）How did the two adventurers return to the South Pole scientific research station? A. On foot. B. By air. C. By land. D.

My students are often amazed that they can check out books via their smartphones and virtually(虚拟地)visit a variety of Long Island libraries.

If that job was left to any other ten-year-old, it would have turned out frustrating, difficult, and a little discouraging.But Duncan was different. Not only was she already talented enough to earn money even at that age, but she also had a rare kind of confidence that helped her treat troubles as fuel —something to elevate the fire that is already burning inside of her.It's no surprise, then, that when she moved to New York to join a theatre company, she found herself restricted. The existing dancing style, their way of operating—all of this seemed to her the work of a misguided past. Duncan was very direct about what she wanted, confidently telling people she had a different vision of dance that she was going to spread in the world. This, naturally, led to ridicule and laughs early on, but as she built up her work, these instances became less frequent. Today, she is remembered as "The Mother of Dance," with much of the modern art owing its expressive style to her influence. Inspired by the ancient Greeks, she brought the style to life.In her autobiography (自传), one of the things Duncan frequently refers to as the basis of her expressive spirit is the fact that she had a childhood where she wasn't constantly watched. The expectations of her mother (who raised her) were open-ended. It was the freedom of this lifestyle that drove her to see what she could do.Growing up, before she left school, she was told one of two things: that she was either completely useless or that she was a genius. There was nothing in between. Even when she started working, people either bowed to her or they basically ignored her. But there wasn't one moment Duncan doubted her own genius.There is an old quotation "if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." And it captures an important truth. At school, Isadora Duncan was a failure. In the dance hall, she gave form to brilliance.（1）What does the underlined phrase "treat troubles as fuel" mean?A.Duncan used troubles to push her forward towards her dream.B.Duncan was good at burning away everyday troubles.C.Troubles turned Duncan into a confident girl.D.Troubles lit the fire of dancing in Duncan.（2）Which of the following is TRUE about Duncan?A.Her experience in New York was the foundation of her career.B.Her teaching job when she was little destroyed her confidence.C.Her dancing style was not very well received at the beginning.D.Her mother set higher expectation on her than she could bear.（3）What does the author try to tell the readers in the last paragraph?A.It is useless climbing a tree to catch fish.B.Everybody is a genius in his own way.C.Miseries come from human stupidity.D.Teachers can impact students greatly.（4）What is this passage mainly about?A.Isadora Duncan's childhood and her achievements today.B.Duncan's career development and other dancers' opinions of her.C.Isadora Duncan's early experiences and the reasons for her success.D.Duncan's high status in the dancing world and her unique expressive style.【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）B（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，伊莎多拉·邓肯十岁时辍学去教别人跳舞，作者讲述了她的早期的经历以及其取得成功的原因。

I love having beautiful flowers-but I don't have a good track record when it comes to making them grow.A few months after our son left for the Middle East, my friend gifted me a box of tulip bulbs (郁金香球茎). She explained that these bulbs were put into the ground in the fall and lay sleeping all winter. They had all the nutrients they needed inside the bulb and would come out in the spring. ''When you see the leaves of the tiny flowers pushing toward the sun, you'll know that it's almost time for your son to come home. They'll give you what you need most.'' She walked me through the process of planting them. I thanked her — trying to show my gratitude for her gift.It was a long winter — cold and dark. I endured both the weather and the loneliness and fear I felt with my son away. Dead leaves, frost and finally a heavy snow covered the area where I'd planted those flowers, and I soon forgot they were there.Finally the weather began to warm. One day, as I walked down my front steps, I noticed an area of green. I bent down to inspect the situation more clearly and saw that those tulips had begun to grow, their tiny leaves forcing their way to the sun.Day after day I noted the flowers' progress. And day after day, the time approached when my son would finally be home. Now with spring just around the corner, nothing could keep either of us from marching toward the light. Almost all of those bulbs bloomed.

(英语)高考英语阅读理解(人物故事)题20套(带答案)及解析

（英语）高考英语阅读理解(人物故事)题20套(带答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1．阅读理解Three months after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Rebecca Sell, then 24, a photojournalist for Fredericksburg photographed a New Orleans couple worriedly examining water-spotted photo albums. As she took the photo, something within her clicked. "I told them I could take the ruined pictures, copy them and give them digitally restored (修复) photos," she recalls. Although a bit sceptical, the couple agreed. Rebecca took their photos home, restored them and took them to the couple at their temporary home. "It felt so good to be able to do that for them," says Rebecca. When her editor, Dave Ellis, saw the photo of the couple, he suggested they go back and restore damaged photos for even more people. So in January 2006, with paid time off from the paper, the two set up shop in Pass Christian. After posting a notice in the community newsletter, Rebecca and Dave received 500 photos in four days. For each, the pair took a new digital picture, then used high-tech software to erase water spots and restore colors. It just so happened that a popular website linked to Dave's blog about the experience, and soon Operation Photo Rescue, as it came to be known, had emails from hundreds of volunteers, including photographers and restoration experts, eager to help.Though digital restoration is a painstaking process, mending irreplaceable family pictures means the world to victims like Emily Lancaster, 71, who took out piles of ruined photo albums after Katrina, never thinking the mess could be saved. But she just couldn't bear to part with a few treasured pictures, including a portrait of her father, who had passed away, and a photo of her husband as a boy. Then she heard about Operation Photo Rescue. "I didn't have a whole lot of hope they could fix them, but they did," Emily says. "Almost every day I think about all the pictures I've lost. I'm so happy to have these two."In the five years since Katrina, Operation Photo Rescue has collected thousands of pictures ruined by floods, hurricanes and tornadoes. Volunteers make "copy runs" to disaster areas across the country to gather damaged photos from survivors; operating costs are covered by donations. "It's great to be able to give people some of their history back," says Rebecca. "One person told me that thanks to us, her grandmother got to see her photos again before she passed away. Moments like that remind me why I do this."（1）When Rebecca took the picture of the New Orleans couple, she decided to .A. take them to their temporary homeB. help with their damaged photosC. set up shop in Pass ChristianD. cover Hurricane Katrina（2）From Paragraph 2, we know that Dave and Rebecca .A. quit their jobs in 2006B. inspired volunteers to join themC. spent four days mending the photosD. made their work known in their newspaper （3）How did Emily Lancaster feel when she first heard about Operation Photo Rescue? A. Excited. B. Hopeless. C. Satisfied. D. Sceptical.（4）What is the best title for the passage?A. Surviving HurricanesB. An Act of GenerosityC. Saving MemoriesD. A Lucky Couple【答案】（1）B（2）B（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，摄影记者丽贝卡塞尔和编辑戴夫·埃利斯通过照片修复，他们让很多人丢失的记忆得到恢复，同时，也赢得了人们的肯定。
