2016高考英语二轮阅读理解练习及答案
2016高考英语二轮阅读理解练习(1)及答案2016高考英语阅读理解--日常生活类Papa’s Straw HatPapa was a ranger. He worked with horses. He always wore clean clothes with a hat even when he worked. His hat was always the same kind of a cowboy hat- large black hat of heavy wool. He wore his hat full and high. I think he wanted to look taller than he really was.Mama was proud of the way he looked when he wore his hat and his best clothes. But in some way she got the idea that papa would lose his hair if he kept wearing a heavy wool cowboy hat in the hot weather. She began to talk about his hats.“Papa,” she said one day, “why don't you get a nice cool straw hat? That heavy wool cowboy hat may cause losing hair!” Papa laughed at her and explained that the horses wouldn’t recognize him if he changed the hat. But she didn’t believe him.Mama talked and talked about the hat all summer long. At last papa answered, a little angry, “It would not the cowboy hat but a wife’s talking about the hat that makes me lose my hair.”Mama had a very serious look on her face. She went straight out and later came home with a straw hat. It was a bad year for ranger and we didn't have much money. She thought that if she spent the money for a straw hat, papa would wear it. When papa saw the hat, his face got red. Without a word, he pulled the straw hat down over his head until it hid his eyes and went on to train the horses.He was a good ranger and gentle to his horses. But as papa got close to the horses this time, they jumped high into the air, raising their front feet. All of them ran around in the rounded field and then raced toward the barn. Papa began to shout “Woo boys. Steady boys, steady.” But there was nothing equal to.Papa walked back straight to the stove in the kitchen, pushed the straw hat deep downinto the fire then turned to mama, in a way that even frightened me. “Now listen to me, mama. Understand this I will never wear a straw hat or any other kind of hat my horses do not like.” Then he put on his wool cowboy hat and walked out of the house.I never heard mama talk any more about hats. Perhaps, that is why when papa died many years later, there was a round spot on the top of his head where there was no hair.【小题1】According to the passage, a ranger is _______.A.a person wearing a woolen hatB.a position requiring clean clothesC.a person training horses for some purposeD.a person riding a carriage with horses【小题2】Mama bought papa a straw hat because _______.A.most cowboys preferred to wear itB.she was worried about his healthC.a woolen one didn’t suit papaD.it was cheap and she could save money【小题3】What quality can we learn from papa?A.Gentle. B.Patient. C.Committed. D.Modest.【小题4】It can be learned from the story that _______.A.this family were not rich but diligentB.papa didn’t love the straw hat and mamaC.protecting hair was very importantD.a cowboy hat was useful on farming阅读理解。

福建福鼎市2016高考英语二轮阅读理解练习【2】及答案【2014高考英语模拟冲刺卷】My parents lived through the Great Depression of the 1930s and I heard stories from both of them about how their lives changed because of it. The same was true of my in-laws whose lives were also affected negati vely. For example, my husband’s grandfather owned a factory. Owing to the stock (证券) market crash, he lost the factory and went back to work in the very factory he’d once owned. He could no longer afford to send my father-in-law to college. My father-in-law worked full time as a pipe fitter and went to school part-time to earn his degree, which took seven years.Somehow, my husband and I never dreamed that we would live through anything similar. However, as they say, history often repeats itself. In 1929, the stock market crashed in the month of October. The same thing happened in 2008. My husband, who had invested (投资) all our money in the market, was in a state of shock. Each day the news was more terrible.“We’ve lost more than half of our wealth,” he tol d me.I just stared at him. “How can that be?”“I thought we had good, solid investments, but it seems I was wrong.”“Well, we do have pensions (抚恤金),” I said. “Hopefully, they won’t be affected. Since we have never lived a high lifestyle to begin with, I don’t think we have to worry.”“I did hope to leave our children and grandchildren a generous inheritance (遗产),” my husband said. He shook his head in disbelief.“We’ll still be able to give gifts. Love is the most important gift anyway.” Our children are grown and we always try to be generous to them and our grandchildren.“It just won’t be the same.”“The world is always changing,” I said. “You never know what will happen. The main thing is not to get discouraged. As long as we have our health and can aff ord the necessities of life, there’s no reason to be upset. When you have your health, you can always earn more money.”I hugged my husband and he kissed me in return.“I guess you’re right,” he agreed. “We love each other. We have our health and enough mo neyto live on comfortably. That’s all that matters.”We had to move out of our house into an apartment. Since few people could afford a house in those hard days, we decided to offer it for considerably less than it would normally be worth. Even so, several buyers changed their mind days before closing. But finally, our home was sold.As we shook hands with the new owners, I told them how fortunate they were.“Not only are you getting a bargain in the price, but this house has good luck. We bought the house from a family who lived in it for nine years. They were a happy family, a husband, wife and five children. It was a cheerful house and we had a good feeling about it. We raised our children here as well.”“That’s good to hear,” the young woman said with a smile. “We have two young children ourselves. And I believe in luck too.”We nodded our heads in agreement, understanding each other.“You’ll live only six houses from the best primar y school in the town and your children won’t even have to cross a street,” I said. “Our children used to come home each day and have lunch with me.”“We like the woods in the back,” the young man told us. “We’re going to plant a large garden in the backyard.”They seemed so young and happy and full of plans. My husband and I had to smile. At least some good was coming out of the economic difficulty. We no longer needed a house. It was good to know that another young family would now be living in what had been a happy, loving home for us. Also, the house needed work that we no longer had the energy to perform.These may be tough times economically, but as for me, I intend to look forward, not back. As Shakespeare said in Macbeth, “what’s done is done and cannot be undone.” It’s the present and future that matter. We can learn from our mistakes and make our lives better.55. In the first paragraph, the author described her husband’s family in order to tell us ______.A. economic difficulty can change a family’s lifestyleB. people have to sell their factories when the stock market crashesC. everything can happen in today’s worldD. my husband’s family suffered a lot in the 1930s56. What happened to the author’s family in 2008?A. Her husband invested all their money in the stock market.B. They had to live on pensions.C. They had to sell their house.D. They got most of their money lost in the stock market.57. The author’s attitude towards her husband after hearing the bad news can be described as______.A. angry but supportiveB. sincere and encouragingC. kind and sympatheticD. forgiving but casual58. In the author’s opinion what matters in life is ______.A. wealth and healthB. health and loveC. money and workD. house and children59. By telling the new owners “this house has good luck”, the author intended to tell them _______.A. they had bought the house at a much lower priceB. their children could go to school conveniently and safelyC. they would live in the house happilyD. they could plant a large garden in the backyard60. Which of the following can be the best title of the story?A. Selling the House.B. Stock Market CrashC. What’s Done Can’t Be Undone.D. A Change in Lifestyle.Passage D【语篇解读】本文为记叙文。

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
It takes more than just practice to become an Olympian. Gold medal performances require some serious nutrition. Have you ever wondered what these successful athletes eat to stay in peak shape?Keri Glassman, a registered dietitian and founder of Nutritious Life Meals, appeared on“Good Morning America”today to give you a glimpse into the diets ofsome top athletes. Some of their meals could surprise you.Crazy Calorie CountGlassman said Olympians eat a lot of food—quantities that for ordinary people would constitute pigging out. One secret of swimmer Michael Phelps’ astonishing performance in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing was consuming as many as 12, 000 calories in one day.Athletes can eat like this and not gain any weight because their workouts are intense. According to Glassman, Phelps’ workouts can burn 4, 000 to 6, 000 calories in a day, and those calories must be added in order to train the following day.Snacking SecretsSome athletes eat strange foods that improve their performance. Yohan Blake, the Jamaica sprinter and 100-meter world champion, has stolen champion sprinter Usain Bolt’s thunder on the track during the Olympic trials. Asked about how he gets his energy, Blake answered that he eats 16 bananas per day, Glassman said.Jonathan Horton, the lead gymnast on the US team, has a blood sugar problem. His solution is honey. When he starts to feel shaky at the gym, he takes honey to boost his energy, Glassman said.Foods for RecoveryWhat are the best foods to help the body recover after harsh competition?For Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, the recovery meal is grilled chicken breasts with Alfredo sauce, whole-g rain spaghetti and a salad with lemon juice and olive oil. Lochte, who recently cut out junk food, candy and soda, has undertaken a strength-training regimen(养生法)that involves flipping tractor tires and tossing beer kegs, Glassman said.【文章大意】运动员的成长不仅需要锻炼, 还需要营养, 合理膳食也至关重要。

Whether that is good or bad, we can't really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyles. We now shopat organic (有机的)stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year.

(2015年湖北省黄冈中学等三校联考)I remember the first time that I was about 8 years old when for the first time, there was a computer in the classroom. I remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns to play various educational games on the computer. One day, I found the source code for one of these games. Without knowing or being taught any programming language, I was able to figure out some of the BASIC code. I just gave myself a limitless number of lives in the game, so I could continue playing it forever. This was also my first introduction to algebra, and I didn't even know it at the time. This was a decisive moment in my life. I was quite excited because of what I was learning and what I was able to do. As a result, I was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self-learning and computers, and I was quite happy doing them too.I've noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do. This enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. It also leads to self-confidence and content in life too. It may also lead to success, wealth and achievements.Success, wealth or achievements can also bring some people happiness, yet I know plenty of rich people who are unhappy. I know many people with successful businesses that are not happy with what they are doing. I know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, such as cars, computers, and televisions, yet never seem content for too long.

训练2 阅读理解+完形填空+语法填空+短文改错(建议用时45分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解“I love you” might be one of the mostimportant combinations in the Englishlanguage.It’s the signal that a romanticrelationship is serious,an indication ofcloseness for a sibling(兄弟姐妹),parent,orchild.But the way it’s used in China might be alittle different.The Global Times reports that two online videos showing children telling their parents “I love you” have gone viral (火了起来) in China.The first shows a number of college students telling their parents they love them.The responses are mixed.“Are you drunk?” asked one parent.In another similar video,a father responded even less politely—“I am going to a meeting,so cut_the_crap.”Even the positive reactions make it clear that the words are expressed rarely: “I am so happy you called to say that,it is the happiest thing that happened to me,” one parent answered.This isn’t the first time that China has done some soulsearching about familiar love—last year China Daily asked a crosssection of people if they said“I love you” to their parents,spouses(爱人),and children.“I have never said ‘I love you’to my family,and I don’t think I will in the future,”one 56yearold told the paper.“Saying it aloud is embarrassing for me.”Still,that doesn’t mean that love can’t be expressed.In a separate article,China Daily spoke to Zhao Mengmeng,a 31yearold woman who said she had never told her father she loved him face to face,she said,“I find it a bit odd.” Mrs.Zhao gave her father a photo album featuring photographs of them together on almost every one of her birthdays.The pictures went viral online,being forwarded hundreds of thousands of times on Weibo.“I didn’t sleep the night I heard about it,” her father told China Daily after the story attracted mainstream attention.“I have now memorized some of the comments on the collection of pictures.”1.What did the father want to express by using the underlined words?A.Make a long story short!B.Just shut up!C.Talk about it later!D.Forget about it!2.What can we learn from the two online videos?A.Chinese children hate saying the three words to their parents.B.Many Chinese parents respond strangely to the three words.C.The three words become more and more popular in China.D.Chinese people are rather slow in understanding others.3.What does the example of Zhao Mengmeng show?A.Microblog is the best way to express oneself.B.It is a fashion to express love on microblog.C.Love can be expressed in other ways.D.It is hard to express love in public.4.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The words “I love you” are rarely used in China.B.Chinese people refuse to express their love to others.C.Chinese people use different ways to express their love.D.The words “I love you” result in misunderstanding in China.【语篇解读】“I love you”恐怕是英语中最重要的单词组合之一。

bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information.Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information,how to separate fact from opinion,how to recognize poor reasoning,and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources.__71__ Go to the original source.Media reports often simplify the results of medical research.Find out for yourself what a study really reported,and determine whether it was based on good science.Think about the type of study.__72__ Watch for misleading language.Some studies will find that a behavior “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome;this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result.__73__ Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully

carefully,and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术).__75__ Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration,but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about health problems will serve you well throughout your life.A.Make choices that are right for you.B.The goal of an ad is to sell you something.C.Be sure to work through the critical questions.D.And examine the findings of the original research.E.Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.F.Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s pointof view.G.The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.提醒:完成作业强化练(十)(十一)二轮专题强化练强化练(十)强化练(十) 阅读填空(1)(建议用时:30分钟)1(2015·河北唐山二模)After Steve Jobs died,his friend Larry Ellison said something like this,“There will never be another Steve Jobs.” 1 Larry

all have bad jobs at one point in our lives.But the question is:am I in the right job?Have I found the right company?Life doesn’t go on forever. 2Don’t do it all by yourself.Steve learned a great leader can’t do it all by himself.He needs people.They must be talented. 3 They must be given the opportunity to succeed and fail.In short,you have to learn to be a great leader if you want to see your great ideas and hard work truly have an influence on the world.4Apple is always the best at creating a new product that meets the exact needs of users.It’s empathy(同理心) that helps Apple achieve this.Whenever the user has the first touch with a new Apple product,he says “Wow,it’s just what I need.”Remember:you’re King in the business world if you know exactly what consumers desire. Don’t mess around with your health.5 That’s the most important lesson from Steve’s life.It’s great to learn from him now,but the fact is that he should still be here if he had treated his cancer properly.Instead,Steve chose a naturopathic(自然疗法的) solution that wasn’t effective.When he finally decided to take his doctor’s original advice,it was toolate.A.They must be inspired.B.Be the best in your field.C.Take your health seriously.D.Get on your right path now.E.Will this lead to a successful career?F.Put yourself in the other person’s shoes.G.What are the key things that we can learn from him?2(2015·河北衡水中学三模)Tips for Summer ReadingSummer holds many of my strongest and most powerful reading memories.I remember sitting under a tree in the backyard as a child,reading Anne of Green Gables as the shadows crossed the grass.I remember sitting in the back seat of the car on a long family road trip,sharing joke books with my brother and sister and laughing until we cried. 6 I want all kids to enjoy the fun of summer reading,because summer reading has secret power. 7 Here are some ways to motivate kids for summer reading.Make children the curators(管理人) of their reading lives.Have students set summer reading goals for themselves. 8 Students can act as “chief curators” of the blog in turn so that over the course of the summer each of them takes on the responsibility of replying to posts and highlighting a popular title.9Taking “curiosity walks” is a fantastic way to bring informational text into a child’s reading list.These walks also provide opportunities for authentic writing.Have children take an inspiration notebook on a class walk outside and write down anything they see that they would like to learn more about.Make reading more like summer camp.Let’s combine reading with handson activities and make reading more like summer camp.We can take field trips to the library and search the shelves for books on atopic chosen out of a hat. 10 Then they can bring that creation in to share on the first days of school.A.It will set the stage for academic success.B.Bring the outdoors back into summer reading.C.Select some books and share them with your students.D.Set up a summer blog so you can all share recommendations.E.These memories became important stepping stones in my life.F.It is important to build and shape a strong reading life during school months.

gratitude or feeling grateful.In fact,there is a strong connection between a grateful attitude and a heightened sense of wellbeing.Appreciate all the positives in your life b y starting a gratitude journal in order to remember what you’re grateful for. 21Feeling down?Instead of feeling sorry for yourself waiting for the universe to throw you a bone,try acting like you’re happy—even if you aren’t.A sincere smile and a forced smile will cause the same chemical reactions in your brain,so you can actually fool your mind into feeling better by making it react chemically as if thingswere going well. 22 Reassure yourself that everything is good—even if you don’t feel it.“ 23 If you’re stuck in traffic,then everything else must be going horribly,too,” says Anne Parker,a wellness counselor.By blowing negative events out of proportion,you’re setting yourself up for feeling down all day.Instead,acknowledge that you’re stuck in t raffic,but also bring to mind something good,like the beautiful scenery outside the window.That way,you’ll get in the habit of forbidding negative circumstances from blanketing your whole day.Swearing to lose 20 pounds or to run a marathon seems like goals leading to happiness,but they take time to achieve. 24 You may even end up admitting that you have been defeated.However,if you focus on the small milestones that occur along the way,you will feel positive about your progress,which will give you the strength to keep going.25 Try making someone else’s day better.A report by United Healthcare and Volunteer Match found that volunteers are 72% more likely to characterize themselves as optimistic compared with non volunteers.Plus,89% of volunteers say that volunteering has improved their sense of wellbeing,and 92% say that it enriches their sense of purpose in life.A.Try to help someone in need.B.Want to give your attitude a lift?C.People tend to think in an eitheror way.D.Act in an optimistic way—smile,laugh,tell a joke.E.You’ll fail to appreciate more important things in your life.F.By focusing on not having accomplished them yet,you will start to feel down on yourself.G.By remembering the pleasant things in your life,you can actually turn a negative attitude around.二轮专题强化练强化练(十一)强化练(十一) 阅读填空(2)(建议用时:30分钟)1(2015·河南郑州市高三3月模拟)Are you new to experiencing relationships?Well,let me give you advice on how to have a healthy

Great RoommateHaving a roommate can be one of the best experiences in college or,easily,one of the worst. 11 Follow these tips to avoid the common mistakes that turn good roommate relationships sour.◇Talk things out.Communication is key.If something happens,sit down with your roommate and have a facetoface conversation.I’ve seen roommate relationships fall apart because something happens and,instead of talking to each other,the two start complaining about their roommates behind their backs. 12◇Don’t expect to be best friends.Some roommates become the best of friends,and some don’t.Don’t put pressure on yourself or your roommate,especially when you first meet. 13 And if your roommate doesn’t end up being your best friend,d on’t worry.◇Ask before you take.This applies to food,clothes and anything else.If you want to keep a relationship going,show your roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first. 14◇Clean up after yourself.This should do witho ut saying.Don’t be lazy.Or,at least,don’t bury your roommate in your clothes and garbage.Most people I’ve come across in college are messy. 15 But being considerate with where you put your stuff will help you avoid。

专题二阅读填空本题型主要考查考生的阅读理解能力、语篇分析能力以及对上下文逻辑关系的判断能力。
通过对近三年高考题的分析可知:1.此类题型题目设置难度不大,通过上下文的词汇或短语提示,均可找到明确的答案,但选项中有两项特征相似或相近,要求考生仔细阅读文段,确定合适的答案。
2.考点分布合理,突出主题句、详述句及平行句的考查,注重考查考生把握上下文逻辑关系的能力。
3.根据此类题型特点,预计2016年在考查形式上不会有太大变化。
在文章的选材方面可能会更富有灵活性,会出现一些生活气息较浓的文章或者一些趣味性的话题。
做阅读填空首先是通读全文,大体掌握文章大意,然后通读答案,迅速找出和文章相对应的关键词,将选项填入文中,再次通读全文,研究多余选项,最终确定答案。
1.先看选项,通过选项中句子的句意或者句子后面的标点符号来判断该句在文章中的可能位置。
2.再看空前空后,由于句子与句子之间有一种相关的联系,所以我们可以在选项中寻找与空前空后的句子有某种必然联系的关键词,从而选择正确的答案。
3.注意代词在句子中的使用,利用代词的指代作用,我们可以从选项中找到相关的信息。
4.注意一些特殊疑问词,如果选项中或空前出现特殊疑问词,那么就要寻找相对应的回答语。
做题时需要注意的两个问题:1.如果问题设在段首,通常是段落的主题句。
寻找主题句时,着重阅读后文第一两句,锁定线索信号词,然后在选项中查找相关特征词,最后看所选的答案是否将两段内容连贯起来。
2.如果问题设在段尾,通常是结论或概括性的语句,关键词要在空白前的一句或两句中寻找。
注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词,如therefore,as a result,thus,hence,in short,to sum up,to conclude,in a word等词语。

something.C.Be sure to work through the critical questions.D.And examine the findings of the original research.E.Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.F.Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view.G.The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common

journal in order to remembe r what you’re grateful for. 21Feeling down?Instead of feeling sorry for yourself waiting for the universe to throw you a bone,try acting like you’re happy—even if you aren’t.A sincere smile and a forced smile will cause the same chemical reactions in your brain,so you can actually fool your mind into feeling better by making it react chemically as if thingswere going well. 22 Reassure yourself that everything is good—even if you don’t feel it.“ 23 If you’re stuck in traffic,then everything else must be going horribly,too,” says Anne Parker,a wellness

don’t.Don’t put pressure on yourself or your roommate,especially when you first meet. 13 And if your roommate doesn’t end up being your best friend,don’t worry.◇Ask before you take.This applies to food,clothes and anything else.If you want to keep a relationship going,show your roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first. 14◇Clean up after yourself.This should do without saying.Don’t be lazy.Or,at least,don’t bury you r roommate in your clothes and garbage.Most people I’ve come across in college are messy. 15 But being considerate with where you put your stuff will help you avoid。
