（英语）高中英语阅读理解(人物故事)解题技巧及经典题型及练习题(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I believe in the power of science fiction, not just for its capacity to transform dreams into reality, but also for its power to bond together those who share a common vision of the future. For me, that's true for my relationship with my dad. Some fathers and sons bond over sports, fishing or hunting, but my dad and I bond over Star Trek. We tried a trip to Disney World, but one of my earliest memories wasn't Mickey, but a Klingon battle cruiser(巡洋) on the screen.Over the years, nearly every setting and situation has become far away for my dad and me. When it's warm at night, we're not driving along some dark streets in Indiana, but going at a slow speed with stars dimly shining. Both of us are thinking of them, without needing to say a word. All these visions of other universes have together created a private universe for my dad and me.Gene Rodenberry, creator of Star Trek, once said, " Science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses(绕过)a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects. "A lifetime of science fiction has influenced more than just my relationship with my dad, but has also helped me shape my own hopes for the future. I'm now a science writer.Yes, science fiction has made me into a "nerd"(书呆子), and it also has been a source of joy for my family, making me an optimist while enabling me to think critically about the danger of technology. Thank those authors who have shared their visions; the world and my family are better for it. Thank my dad, who is both the best storyteller and the best man I have ever known because he helped me realize the truth of Tennyson's words," Since I dipped into the future, I saw the vision of the world, and all the wonders that would be."（1）What is the special bond between the author and his father?A. Their similar dreams.B. Their love for each other.C. Their common interest.D. Their passion for science.（2）What does the author mainly show in paragraph 2?A. His deep impression on his dad.B. His feeling of staying with his dad.C. His earliest memory of his dad.D. His good relationship with his dad.（3）How does science fiction help the author at present?A. It leads him to pursue a desirable career.B. It brings him the courage to live better.C. It helps him solve the danger of technology.D. It makes him become a source of his family's joy.（4）What may be the best title for the text?A. The Wonders of ScienceB. The Power of Science FictionC. The Versions of Science FictionD. The Time together with My Father【答案】（1）C（2）D（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者和父亲都热爱科幻小说，它不仅帮助作者与父亲建立了深厚的感情，而且帮助作者实现了梦想。

高一英语阅读理解(人物故事)及其解题技巧及练习题(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When I was small, my mother and I would walk to our local library in Franklin Square. As we didn't always have access to a reliable car, walking hand in hand was the most convenient way to get anywhere. It was at story time for children that both my mother and I made lasting friendships.Today, I am fortunate to live around the corner from the Cold Coast Public Library in Glen Head and a short walk to the Sea Cliff Children's Library. My 18-imonth-old son, Colin, and I find ourselves in Sea Cliff several times a week, meeting and making friends. Well, that is what many people don't understand-a library is more than books; it's a community.Sure, the library in Franklin Square was the place where I was introduced to Judy Blume novels. But it was also the place where I got my first email address in 1997. At the library, friends and I learned how to research colleges and search for scholarships on the Internet. The library was the place where we sometimes giggled(咯咯笑)too loudly, and where the librarians knew us by name. Their knowing our names wasn't a bad thing. When I came home from my first term at Binghamton University, Mary LaRosa, the librarian at the Franklin Square library, offered me my first teaching job.I now teach reading at Nassau Community College. 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. The app used by Nassau and Suffolk county public libraries, as well as the college library, makes their homework easier by helping them find resources. Even though they can't always easily visit their local libraries, the library is always with them.（1）Why does the author consider herself lucky today?A. She has become her mother's best friend.B. She has access to a reliable car now.C. She can meet friends at the library.D. She lives close to libraries.（2）What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.

But my experience was a romantic one.I paved my path to Paris through an exchange program. On arrival in Paris, I was constantly reminded of the official processes I had to complete — forms to be filled in, meetings to attend, the list seemed endless.Then the real work began. Once classes were underway, I found myself volunteering to do oral presentations and assignments first, rather than last. This method proved to be very helpful.Once I had finished class for the week, I had an ever-increasing list of museums to visit, neighborhoods to explore, and cafés to sit in. Read books about Paris. Talk to locals and other foreigners living there. But the one thing that reading a book or talking to someone cannot do is to provide you with the experience of wandering Paris on foot. The people watching, the sounds of the city, the colors as the seasons change, they all add to the ecstasy that I experience in Paris as an exchange student.After spending five months wandering through the charming neighborhoods, I fell in love with the atmosphere that came out from every open door, and with every spoken word. There is something comforting about walking to the market each Sunday to enjoy the beautiful display of fruits, vegetables and dairy products. There is warmth in saying bonjour to the passers-by.On my last day in Paris, I confidently said, "Bonjour Monsieur," as I passed the little store down the street. I guess the best part about going on exchange in Paris is falling in love with the city in your own way. And I know mine is unique and special to me, my own little pieces of Paris.（1）What does the underlined word "ecstasy" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Courage.B. Imagination.C. Happiness.D. Reputation.（2）What does the passage mainly tell us?A. An exchange student's life.B. Charming neighborhoods.C. An exchange program.D. A traveling experience.（3）Beyond reading books, which experience would the author treasure most?A. Enjoying coffee in his spare time.B. Greeting people in French in the street.C. Buying vegetables in the market.D. Hanging around in Paris.（4）According to the passage, what left the author the deepest impression?A. The friendly people he met in Paris.B. The special culture he experienced in the city.C. The academic achievement he made in his study.D. The presentations and assignments he did in class.【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）D（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者作为一名交换生在巴黎的所见所闻，内心感受等。

高中必备英语阅读理解(人物故事)技巧全解及练习题(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read. In 1888 an Egyptian farmer digging in the sand near the village of Istabl Antar uncovered a mass grave. The bodies weren't human. They were feline —ancient cats that had been mummified(木乃伊化的) and buried in holes in astonishing numbers. "Not one or two here and there", reported English Illustrated Magazine, "but dozens, hundreds, hundreds of thousands, a layer of them, a layer thicker than most coal joints, ten to twenty cats deep. " Some of the linen-wrapped cats still looked presentable, and a few even had golden faces. Village children peddled the best ones to tourists for change; the rest were sold as fertilizer. One ship transported about 180,000, weighing some 38, 000 pounds, to Liverpool to be spread on the fields of England.Those were the days of generously funded explorations—that dragged through acres of desert in their quest for royal tombs, and for splendid gold and painted masks to decorate the estates and museums of Europe and America. The many thousands of mummified animals that turned up at religious sites throughout Egypt were just things to be cleared away to get at the good stuff. Few people studied them, and their importance was generally unrecognized.In the century since then, archaeology has become less of a treasure hunt and more of a science. Archaeologists now realize that much of their sites' wealth lies in the majority of details about ordinary folks—what they did, what they thought, how they prayed. And animal mummies are a big part of that."They're really displays of daily life," says Egyptologist Salima Ikram. After peering beneath bandages with x-rays and cataloguing her findings, she created a gallery for the collection — a bridge between people today and those of long ago. "You look at these mummified animals, and suddenly you say, Oh, King So-and-So had a pet. I have a pet. And instead of being at a distance of 5,000-plus years, the ancient Egyptians become clearer and closer to us."（1）Which of the following words has the closest meaning to "peddled"(paragraph 1)? A. modernized B. displayed C. illustrated D. demonstrated（2）Why was archaeology once referred to as a "treasure hunt "(paragraph 3)?A. In the royal tombs, there were many treasures made of silver and gold.B. Animal mummies could be made into fertilizer which is very valuable.C. It was hard to find animal mummies since they were buried under dirt.D. People sought the remains of ancient Egypt merely for their material value.（3）Which of the following is TRUE about Salima Ikram?A. She wishes to establish the continuity of pets over history.B. She believes that studying the remains can help modern society relate to the past.C. She wants to identify the King's personal belongings and classify them.D. She doubts if current society will understand the significance of Egyptian remains.（4）This article probably encourages the readers to _____________.A. value the past by studying the remains left behind by our ancestorsB. make full use of the remains our ancestors have left behindC. understand that animal mummies are more important than gold and masksD. become more sensitive to the ancient lifestyle of our ancestors【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）B（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，自从1888年在埃及发现了猫动物的木乃伊之后，大量的皇家墓穴被挖掘，成千上万的木乃伊被运往世界各地，以攫取物质利益。

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 tim e.” 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.

These works were displayed in Pingyao, an ancient city in Shanxi Province, under the title Beijing Midsummer Night Dream in September 2010.The moon doors serve as a keyhole through which one can catch a glimpse of a slice of Beijing life.

高考英语高中英语阅读理解(人物故事)解题技巧及练习题(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1．阅读理解Many people criticize today's newspapers as sensationalist, satisfying the public's abnormal curiosity. But journalism a century ago was just as notorious (臭名昭著). Publishers at that time routinely competed with each other for wild stories that could draw in the most readers. Meanwhile, it was an ideal atmosphere for a courageous reporter like Nellie Bly to spring into fame.Bly, whose name was Elizabeth Corcoran, had to work to make her way in the world. Different from many women of the time, however, she refused to let the working world scare her away. Her first big opportunity as a reporter came in 1885 after she wrote an angry letter denouncing the Pittsburgh Dispatch for an article it had run criticizing women forced to work outside the home. The interested and excited editor hired Bly for her "spirit," and soon she was investigating the situations of female factory workers. Bly cared less about their jobs than their lives after work - their amusements, their motivations, their fears and ambitions. She produced an article totally different from what other reporters of the time were writing: personal, thoughtful, meaningful.By 1887 Bly had a job with the New York World, one of the leader papers of the day. She quickly became famous for undercover stories about women in a mental hospital. Soon she had investigated life as a maid, a chorus girl, and even a street girl. In her best - known brave deeds, in 1890, Bly beat the famous "around the world in 80 days" trip Jules Verne had described in his novel. Traveling by steamship, train, even ricksha, Bly reported from each stop. A spellbound nation hung on every word. Only 25, Bly had become internationally famous.（1）Bly's first newspaper job was .A. with the New York WorldB. with the Pittsburgh DispatchC. to interview mental patientsD. to experience life of chorus girls（2）What does the underlined word "denouncing" in Para. 2 probably mean?A. Praising.B. Questioning.C. Informing.D. Condemning.（3）How did Nellie Bly gain world - wide fame?A. By criticizing Jules Verne.B. By competing with other reporters.C. By writing stories through investigation.D. By caring about women from different classes.（4）Which of the following best describes Nellie Bly?A. Daring and practical.B. Acute and confident.C. Critical and dependent.D. Calm and enthusiastic.【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）C（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，Bly是一名美国女记者,在那个记者都热衷于相互竞争而报道不实新闻特殊年代,她选择为女性说话。

（英语）高中英语阅读理解(人物故事)答题技巧及练习题(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1．阅读理解For the past few months, my three-year-old daughter has spent an hour every week learning a foreign language. She walks into a small room in a local school, where she and a handful of three and four-year-old spend the next hour dancing to “La Vaca Lola”, a song about a Spanish cow, creating finger puppets(木偶) to voice what they like and don't like (me gusta, no me gusta) and shouting out which animals are big (grande) or small (pequeno).She tells us little about the classes. In fact, for the first few weeks, nothing at all. I begin to wonder if it was a huge mistake (each lesson works out at about £9) but then I show her “La Vaca Lola” on YouTube. She shouts vaca with enthusiasm and with what I hope is a Spanish accent.The wish to enroll(使……加入) her in language lessons came, like most things, gradually and then in a sudden rush. In my day job, I read and edit stories about the Chinese economy. For a long time, I felt that it would be good for her to learn another language but I had no great plan as to when.Then I read Edward Luce's The Retreat of Western Liberalism and all my thoughts and worry about the economy combined into a panic. Waking in a sweat, it seemed obvious that if my daughter was to have any kind of future, she would have to learn another language. Ideally (理想地) immediately.I thought about Mandarin Chinese, one of the top 10 languages most important for our future, according to the British Council (others include Arabic, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Dutch and Japanese). But there were no classes for young children nearby. There were, however, local Spanish classes—the number-one language on the list. When she started to sing "Incy Wincy Spider" in Spanish and English—helped by a Spanish nursery worker-our decision was made.（1）What can we learn about the author's daughter from the first paragraph?A. She uses finger puppets to make her voice heard.B. She is the oldest student in her Spanish class.C. She learns Spanish by dancing to songs.D. She has learnt Spanish for one month.（2）How did the author feel about her daughter's class at first?A. Proud.B. Surprised.C. DelightedD. Doubtful.（3）Why did the author ask her daughter to learn a foreign language?A. To prepare her for the coming school education.B. To equip her for her future.C. To encourage her to have belief in herself.D. To develop her interest in singing.（4）What made the author decide to enroll her daughter in Spanish lessons?A. Her performance.B. Her great interest.C.

高中英语阅读理解(人物故事)及其解题技巧及练习题(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类1．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Friends always ask why I, a middle-aged woman with no athletic talent, travel to perilous places—the jungles of Thailand or Borneo, for example, where the water is often unsafe and the food risky; places with infectious diseases, poisonous snakes and the wildest animals; some places where the locals are just a few generations past headhunting.I never know how to answer. My travel decisions assumed a new gravity nine years ago after I suffered a stroke. To prevent another stroke, my doctors told me, I'd have to take dangerously high levels of blood thinner (血液稀释剂) for the rest of my life and any travel would be risky.I had to think about what was important to me: family, of course, and friends. But then what? No matter how many times I thought about it, no bucket list was complete without travel. Then I had to decide how I might manage the risk. I had to decide how lucky I felt.My return to travel after my stroke came in baby steps. The first real test of my travel courage came nine months after my stroke when I joined my husband, Jack, on a business trip to China. After we'd toured the remains of a Tang dynasty temple on a high mountain, Jack wanted to ride down on a toboggan (长雪橇).Before the stroke it would've seemed like fun. But now? I hesitated. My mental klaxon (高音喇叭) screamed warnings about the consequences of a cut, a fall, and a crash. Then, gaining confidence from who knows where, I lowered myself carefully into the toboggan, which marked my adventure travel comeback.In the years since then, I've traveled about twenty-five percent of the time. Through it all, my lucks held out—no deadly falls, no car accidents or serious infections. For me, adventure travel is a risk worth taking. Travel broadens my world and keeps me connected to nature. What's more, saying "yes" to travel keeps me connected to myself.（1）What does the underlined word "perilous" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Unique.B. Dangerous.C. Historical.D. Famous.（2）What did the doctors advise the author to do?A. Do proper exercise.B. Enjoy the rest of her life.C. Keep away from traveling.D. Spend more time with her family.（3）Why did the author mention her travel to China?A. It was her last adventure.B. She recovered her courage through it.C. She liked the beautiful scenery in China.D. It was the most dangerous experience in her life.（4）What is the best title for the text?A. A business trip to ChinaB. Unique travel experiencesC. Why I still travel to the wildD. How I overcame the fear of disease【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）B（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。

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。

They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time."Why school?" I asked my father. "What have I done?""I'm not punishing you," he said, laughing. "School's not a punishment. It's a place that makes useful men out of boys. Don't you want to be useful like your brothers?"I was not convinced. I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwing me into the huge, high-walled building.When we arrived at the gate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls. "Go in by you," said my father, "and join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others."I hesitated and squeezed his hand firmly, but he gently pushed me from him. "Be a man", he said. "Today you truly begin life. You will find me waiting for you when it's time to leave."I took a few steps. Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view. I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me. I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way. But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, "Who brought you?""My father," I whispered."My father's dead," he said simply.I did not know what to say. The gate was now closed. Some of the children burst into tears. The bell rang. A lady came along and said, "This is your new home. There are mothers and fathers here, too.

"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。

（英语）高中英语阅读理解(人物故事)解题技巧讲解及练习题(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In the nineteenth century, one of America's greatest writers, Walt Whitman, helped people learn to value poetry. Whitman created a new kind of poetry.Walt Whitman was born in eighteen nineteen in New York City. During his long life, he watched America grow from a young nation to the strongest industrial power in the world. As a young man, Whitman worked as a school teacher, a printer and a newspaper reporter. He was thirty-six years old when he published his first book of poetry in eighteen fifty-five. He called it Leaves of Grass. It had only twelve poems. The poems are written in free verse. The lines do not follow any set form. Some lines are short. Some are long. The words at the end of each line do not have a similar sound. They do not rhyme.One of America's greatest thinkers and writers immediately recognized the importance of Leaves of Grass. Ralph Waldo Emerson praised Whitman's work. But most other poets and writers said nothing and even denounced it. Most readers also rejected Whitman's poems. The new form of his poetry surprised many people. Even his own brother told Whitman that he should stop writing poetry. But Whitman had many things to say. And he continued to say them. Readers began to understand that America had a great new poetic voice.Walt Whitman's poems praise the United States and its democracy. The poet expressed his love for America and its people in many ways. Experts today praise Leaves of Grass as a major literary work. In eighteen seventy-three, Walt Whitman suffered a stroke. He spent the last years of his life in Camden, New Jersey. Whitman was poor and weak during the last years of his life. He died in eighteen ninety-two. Some critics say Walt Whitman was a spokesman for democracy. Others say he was not a spokesman for anything. Instead, they simply call him a great poet.（1）What can we know about Whitman?A. His poems have the same rhyme.B. He is the first great poet in the USAC. He helped people to create new poems.D. His poems show his love for his country.（2）Why was Leaves of Grass refused at first?A. The poems are quite short.B. The form of poetry is special.C. Whitman wasn't famous then.D. There are only 12 poems in it.（3）What does the underlined word "denounced" in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. Accused.B. Downloaded.C. Published.D. Translated.（4）What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Walt Whitman—a Great SoldierB. Walt Whitman—an Unfortunate PoetC. Walt Whitman and Leaves of GrassD.

高二英语阅读理解(人物故事)及其解题技巧及练习题(含答案)含解析

高二英语阅读理解(人物故事)及其解题技巧及练习题(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Sometimes just when we need the power of miracles to change our beliefs, they materialize in the places we'd least expect. They can come to us as a great change in our physical reality or as a simple coincidence in our lives. Sometimes they're big and can't be missed. Other times they're so subtle that if we aren't aware, we may miss them altogether. They can come from the lips of a stranger we suddenly and mysteriously meet at just the right instant. If we listen carefully, we'll always hear the right words, at the right time, to dazzle (目眩) us into a realization of something that we may have failed to notice only moments before.On a cold January afternoon in 1989, I was hiking up the trail that leads to the top of Egypt's Mt. Horeb. I'd spent the day at St. Catherine's Monastery and wanted to get to the peak by sunset to see the valley below. As I was winding up the narrow path, I'd occasionally see other hikers who were coming down from a day on the mountain. While they would generally pass with simply a nod or a greeting in another language, there was one man that day who did neither.I saw him coming from the last switchback on the trail that led to the backside of the mountain. As he got closer, I could see that he was dressed differently from the other hikers I'd seen. Rather than the high-tech fabrics and styles that had been the norm, this man was wearing traditional Egyptian clothing. He wore a tattered, rust-colored galabia and obviously old and thick-soled sandals that were covered in dust. What made his appearance so odd, though, was that the man didn't even appear to be Egyptian! He was a small-framed Asian man, had very little hair, and was wearing round, wire-rimmed glasses.As we neared one another, I was the first to speak, "Hello," I said, stopping on the trail for a moment to catch my breath. Not a sound came from the man as he walked closer. I thought that maybe he hadn't heard me or the wind had carried my voice away from him in another direction. Suddenly he stopped directly in front of me on the high side of the trail, looked up from the ground, and spoke a single sentence to me in English, "Sometimes you don't know what you have lost until you've lost it." As I took in what I had just heard, he simply stepped around me and continued his going down the trail.That moment in my life was a small miracle. The reason is less about what the man said and more about the timing and the context. The year was 1989, and the Cold War was drawing to a close. what the man on the trail couldn't have known is that it was during my Egyptian pilgrimage (朝圣), and specifically during my hike to the top of Moses's mountain, that I'd set the time aside to make decisions that would affect my career in the defense industry, my friends, my family, and, ultimately, my life.I had to ask myself what the chances were of an Asian man dressed in an Egyptian galabia coming down from the top of this historic mountain just when I was walking up, stopping before me, and offering his wisdom, seemingly from out of nowhere. My answer to my own question was easy: the odds were slim to none! In a meet that lasted less than two minutes on a mountain halfway around the world from my home, a total stranger had brought clarity and the hint of a warning, regarding the huge changes that I would make within a matter of days. In my way ofthinking, that's a miracle.I suspect that we all experience small miracles in our lives every day. Sometimes we have the wisdom and the courage to recognize them for what they are In the moments when we don't,that's okay as well. It seems that our miracles have a way of coming back to us again and again.And each time they do, they become a little less subtle, until we can't possibly miss the messagethat they bring to our lives!The key is that they're everywhere and occur every day for different reasons, in response to the different needs that we may have in the moment. Our job may be less about questioning the extraordinary things that happen in our daily lives and more about accepting the gifts they bring.（1）Why did the author make a pilgrimage to Mt Horeb in Egypt?A. He was in search of a miracle in his life.B. It was a holy place for a religious person to head for.C. He intended to make arrangements for his life in the future.D.

Why did the Asian man go to the mountain?C. What change would I make within a matter of days?D. What was the probability that others told us the right words?（3）Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "subtle" in paragraph 7?A. Apparent.B. Delicate.C. Precise.D.

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.
