一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类
1．阅读理解
I'm a single person and live with my dog. Jed isn't just my dog. He is my family. He goes everywhere with me. So I was overjoyed last year to hear that Bunnings was allowing dogs on a leash(皮带)- into their stores.
But no sooner had the rule come in than it was quickly repealed(撤销). A little girl in Victoria had walked up to a Jack Russell in a store and been bitten(咬伤). That was it. No more dogs.
I don't know the whole story. But here's what I have to say: dogs bite sometimes and kids are sometimes difficult to control.
There is nothing I love more than a kid who wants to touch Jed. But what's even better is when they ask permission first.
I was at my local dog park last week. It's huge, with an off-leash dog area to one side and a fenced-off kids' playground a good distance away. There was a family there that morning —parents and two young girls playing near the dog area. The elder girl started crying at the sight of Jed—" puppy! There a puppy! "Jed went right up and started licking(舔)her, which only made her cry louder.
My dog was frightened and tried to get away. The little girl ran after him, shouting loudly. The parents did nothing; they just let their kid frighten my dog and then said I should have stopped him from licking her.
While they had a choice to play elsewhere, I did not. So I had to walk Jed away.
"I just don't want to have to meet a dog when I go shopping," said one caller on a radio show yesterday. Look, I get that. But the thing is, I don't always want to have your kid kick the back of my seat for two hours on a plane.
When I lived in the UK and the US, I couldn't walk through the stores without stopping to pat dogs. Why can't we follow their practice?
（1）What do we know about Jed?
A. He is a troublemaker.

2．阅读理解
Anyone who is afraid of failure and afraid to face challenges will never taste success, so said our professor in marketing. I laughed it off at that time, but got frightened when it actually happened in my life.
I landed in a small city in the Middle East to set up a firm, a world－class car rental firm. Having decided on the project, I earnestly settled in preparation. With a positive mind, I told myself nothing should stop me now, and was more than keen to make it a success.
However, the least expected thing happened. Iraq invaded Kuwait. Tension ran high in the region. Eventually the war broke out, and many people fled the country, leaving my firm in deep
trouble.
As usual, "things become difficult, and every effort seems to bring disappointment, it can be tempting to lower your expectations or even water down your goals and ambitions." I was no exception. I thought of running away. I remembered the words of Thomas Edison, "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to succeed when they gave up."
I decided to hang on, telling myself, "I am not afraid of challenges and obstacles." I stayed on through months of uncertainty and insecurity. Finances ran low, and banks could not wait to get their dues. To add to all this, the banks even threatened to take all my vehicles. I felt I made a wrong decision to move there. I was now ready to face failure.
I was living against all hopes, believing that something good would happen. After 2 months the war ended. My persistence paid off: people started flooding back and the car bookings picked up, five times over.
Success comes to the one who dares, even after failure, to think positively and look forward confidently. After all, it is only the experience that makes a man tough. Failure does not mean you will never make it. It means that it will take a little longer. It provides us with a learning experience.
（1）The main method the author uses to support his understanding of his professor's viewpoint is ________.
A. offering analyses
B. providing explanations
C. making comparisons
D. giving examples
（2）How did the author feel when the war between Iraq and Kuwait broke out?
A. Unconfident
B. Indifferent
C. Nervous
D. Calm
（3）What does the underlined phrase "water down" in the 4th paragraph probably mean?
A. get rid of
B. smooth away
C. make less forceful
D. improve on
（4）The author's purpose of writing the passage is most likely to ________.
A. inform
B. persuade
C. describe
D. entertain
【答案】（1）D
（2）A
（3）C
（4）B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者的教授曾经说过，任何害怕失败和害怕面对挑战的人永远都不会尝到成功的滋味。

作者当时不以为然当，直到自己亲身经历了失败和挑战后，作者才意识到人们面对挑战或失败时要大胆应对，保持积极的心态。

（1）考查推理判断。

一开始介绍了作者的教授提出的一个观点，但是作者当时不以为然，直到在今后实际生活中真正遇到了失败或挑战时才认识到了教授的观点。

下文主要通过自己的亲身经历阐述了自己的观点，即通过举例说明的方式。

故选D。

（2）考查推理判断。

根据第四段中的“I was no exception. I thought of running away.”我也不例外。

我想过逃跑；以及第五段中的“I felt I made a wrong de cision to move there. I was now ready to face failure.”我觉得搬到那里去是一个错误的决定。

我现在准备好面对失败了。

可知当伊拉克和科威特之间的战争爆发时，作者感到没有信心。

故选A。

（3）考查词义猜测。

根据第四段中的“things become difficult, and every effort seems to bring disappointment, it can be tempting to lower your expectations o r even”可知当事情变得困难，每一次努力似乎都会带来失望，它可能会降低你的期望，甚至降低你的目标和抱负。

故可推测划线短语意思为"削弱"，与C选项含义接近。

故选C。

（4）考查推理判断。

根据最后一段中的“Success comes to the one who dares, even after failure, to think positively and look forward confidently. After all, it is only the experience that makes a man tough. Failure does not mean you will never make it. It means that it will take a little longer. It provides us with a learning experience.”成功属于那些即使在失败之后仍敢积极思考并充满信心地展望未来的人。

毕竟，只有经历才能使人坚强。

失败并不意味着你永远不会成功。

这意味着它将花费更长的时间。

它给我们提供了一个学习的经验。

可知作者写这篇文章的目的是劝说人们面对挑战或失败时要大胆去对应，保持积极的心态。

即作者写这篇文章的目的是说服别人。

故选B。

3．阅读理解
I'm not so sure I like my friends any more. I used to like them — to be honest. We'd have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange e-mails, and they all seemed normal enough. But then came Facebook and I was introduced to a sad fact: many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me.
Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook. No longer hidden, they're thrown in my face like TV commercials —unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities.
Take Fred. If you were to have lunch with him, you'd find him warm, and down-to-earth. Read his Facebook and you realize he's an unbearable, food-obsessed bore. He'd pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man — and then write about it.
Take Andy. You won't find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he's a CEO without a company to lull. So he plays Mafia Wars on Facebook. He's doing well —level 731. Thanks to Facebook, I know he's playing about 18 hours a day. Andy, you've run four companies — and this is how you spend your downtime(业余时间)? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job?
Take Liz. She is positive that the H1N1 vaccine(甲流疫苗) will kill us all and that we should avoid it. And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find, so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on Facebook and once on Twitter.
In real life, I don't see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. They're nice, smart people. But face to Facebook, my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong.
I'm left with a dilemma. Who is my real friend? Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the anti-vaccine lunatic(狂人)on Facebook? Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he's at a party and the wine isn't up to his standards?
（1）What's Andy probably busy in doing now?
A. He's running his company.
B. He's playing golf all day.
C. He's looking for another job.
D. He's playing computer games.
（2）Who is opposed to the H1N1 vaccine in the text?
A. Fred.
B. Andy.
C. Liz.
D. Chris.
（3）According to the text, Facebook tends to ______.
A. present another side of people
B. offer some food for free
C. show endless advertisements
D. get you to more parties
（4）The text is developed mainly by ______.
A.giving examples
B.following the time order
C.listing figures
D.raising questions
【答案】（1）D
（2）C
（3）A
（4）A
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，自从有了Facebook之后，作者朋友们的一些变化。

以前，朋友会在现实生活中展现他们好的一面；现在，在网络上他们把自己的阴暗面暴露无遗。

这让作者很烦恼，甚至分不清楚朋友的真实面目是什么，谁才是她真正的朋友。

（1）考查推理判断。

根据第四段中的”So he plays Mafia Wars on Facebook. He's doing well — level 731. Thanks to Facebook, I know he's playin g about 18 hours a day.“所以他在Facebook 上玩游戏，他打的不错-731级。

多亏了Facebook，我知道他现在每天玩18小时游戏，可知，Andy沉溺于网络游戏，所以可以推断出他此时正忙着打游戏。

故选D。

（2）考查细节理解。

根据第五段中的”Take Liz. She is positive that the H1N1 vaccine(甲流疫苗) will kill us all and that we should avoid it.“以Liz为例。

她赞同甲流疫苗会致死，大家都该避开打疫苗，可知，Liz对甲流疫苗持反对态度。

故选C。

（3）考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的”Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook.“现在我的朋友通过Facebook展现出他们性格中令人不愉快的方面）和倒数第二段的In real life, I don't see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. They're nice, smart people. But face to Facebook, my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong.”在现实生活中，我没有看到人们的这些方面。

面对面时，我的朋友们把他们最好的一面展现出来，他们是好人。

但是面对Facebook，我的朋友们就像和素未谋面的人相亲一样，变得极其糟糕）可知，Facebook能让人展现出不同于往常的一面。

故选A。

（4）考查推理判断。

根据第三，四，五段作者分别以朋友Fred，Andy，Liz的事情为例可知，作者是以举例的方式来写作的。

故选A。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇人生感悟类阅读，考生需要准确掌握细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。

4．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

One evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path. That's when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks. Ceely's near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device. She had never driver the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing. "I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train," she told the BBC.
Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely's story in his book When Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it's not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.
The problem with his argument in the book is that it's not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn't say.
It's a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable, Perhaps, but maybe it's also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.
The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology.
If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just a. s long.
（1）What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident?
A. She was not familiar with the road.
B. It was dark and raining heavily then.
C. The railway workers failed to give the signal.
D. Her GPS device didn't tell her about the crossing.
（2）The phrase "near miss" (Paragraph 2) can best be replaced by ________.
A. close hit
B. heavy loss
C. narrow escape
D. big mistake
（3）Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?
A. Modern technology is what we can't live without.
B. Digtal technology often falls short of our expectation.
C. Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.
D. GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely's accident.
（4）In the writer's opinion, Stevenson's argument is ________.
A. one-sided
B. reasonable
C. puzzling
D. well-based
（5）What is the real concern of the writer of this article?
A. The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.
B. The human unawareness of technical problems.
C. The shortcomings of digital devices we use.
D. The relationship between humans and technology.
【答案】（1）D
（2）C
（3）B
（4）A
（5）D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者讲述了一起交通事故，司机没有看到火车路口导致了一起事故，司机却将责任归咎到自己的导航仪没有路口提示上。

引发作者对于人与科技的关系上的深思。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的"Ceely's near miss made the news because she blamed it on he GPS(导航仪)." 可知Ceely认为事故发生的原因是GPS没有指出那个路口。

故选D。

（2）考查词义猜测。

根据第一段可知Ceely的车被卡在铁路上并且被火车撞飞了，而她自己则死里逃生，文章用"near miss"来形容这个事故，由此可推断narrow escape 最符合文意，即Ceely很惊险地逃生了，故选C。

（3）考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的"We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job." 可知Stevenson认为是科技设备应该被指责，即它们不能满足人们的需要，故选B。

（4）考查细节理解。

根据第四段中的 "The problem with his argument in the book is that it's not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes." 可知作者认为Stevenson只关注到了片面的，故选A。

（5）考查主旨大意。

根据倒数第二段中的"The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex." 可知作者在讨论完Ceely这起事故后，在最后两段将讨论延伸到了人与科技的关系上，因此作者实际关心的内容是人与科技的关系，故选D。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇人生感悟类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

5．阅读理解
It was the night before my election. I was running for Sophomore Vice President.
I had prepared a performance for the election--a funny boxing match. The fight had popular
moves as seen in Dodge Ball, Iron Man, and Super Smash Brothers. In the end, I would perform my famous move, the Power-Punch from Hot Rod.
My friend Cheyenne and I rehearsed (排练) the fight for hours, but the fight would not be a fight without music and sound effects. This is where my brother came in. He stayed up all night to work on that soundtrack. And when my computer's disk burner (刻录机) went out at 6 in the morning, he spent a college student's week's worth of incomes to replace it.
Why would he go into all that trouble? Because he knew that out of all the other important things he could be doing, this was imperative to me. He knew because it was once important to him. Having graduated from Layton High just a year earlier, he knew what it was like to be in the center of people's attention. He knew how fun high school could be, and he wanted me to have a great experience.
I ended up losing the election, but that day changed my world forever. The lesson my brother taught me became my most important belief. But it wasn't until I had a similar opportunity that I really understood why he cared so much.
What did it take for me to understand? It was the performance. The rest of the cast and I would rehearse every day after school for 6 months all for what? The chance to perform a play eight times. As I came out on that stage for the first time and listened to the laughter, I was filled with joy. By the end of the play, the audience broke into tears, and so did we. What happened? We had the sweet opportunity of giving them an unforgettable theatre moment -- a moment to laugh, reflect, and shed tears.
（1）Why did the author prepare a performance?
A. To prove he had a gift for performing.
B. To introduce moves from some movies.
C. To celebrate his success after the election.
D. To increase his chance of winning the election.
（2）How did the author's brother respond when the computer's disk burner went out? A. He decided to give up in the end. B. He bought one with his own money.
C. He found another way to make music.
D. He borrowed one from a college student.
（3）What does the underlined word "imperative" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Important
B. Pleasant
C. Difficult
D. Useful
（4）What did the author most probably learn from his brother?
A. We should try our best to do everything well.
B. We should spread the kindness we have received.
C. Family members should always support each other.
D. Happiness comes from what we do to brighten others' life.
【答案】（1）D
（2）B
（3）A
（4）D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，作者参加学校的选举，自己的哥哥帮助了自己。

故选B。

（3）考查词义猜测。

根据第四段中的“He knew because it was once important to him.”他知道，因为它曾经对他很重要。

由此可知上文“Because he knew that out of all the other important things he could be doing, this was imperative to me.”意思是因为他知道，在他能做的所有其他重要事情中，这对我来是重要的。

"imperative"的意思是重要的，故选A。

（4）考查推理判断。

根据第四段中的“He knew how fun high school could be, and he wanted me to have a great experience.”他知道高中是多么有趣，他想让我有一个很好的经历。

It is so much to be grateful for. I feel I am the luckiest woman alive. It's my wish for you that you'll be able to spot something in your life. I hope yet you will savor (体味) and appreciate it.

7．阅读理解
The associates I hired in my bicycle and lawn mower shop like myself were never perfect; however, they were excellent. Working with them as they improved taught me new ways to show forgiveness, understanding, and patience.
One day the placement officer asked me to interview a young man who was having trouble finding a job. He told me that David was a little shy, did not talk much and was afraid to go on with interviews. He requested that I give David an interview just for practice. He plainly told David that I had no positions open at the time and the interview was just for practice.
When David came in for the interview, he hardly said a word. I told him what we did at the bicycle shop and showed him around. I told David to keep showing up because the number one thing an employer wanted in an associate was dependability. David was very quiet (he was
evaluated as a slow learner in school).Every ten days or so, for weeks after the interview, David walked into the bicycle shop and stood by the front door. He never said a word, just stood by the door.
One day, shortly before Christmas, a large truck came to the shop, packed with 250 new bicycles. It had to be unloaded right away or the driver would leave. It was raining. Some of my workers (without physical limitations) chose not to brave the weather to get into work, so I was short-handed. It seemed everything was going wrong and on top of it, David came in the front door and just stood there. I looked at him and sh outed,“Well, all right! Fill out a time card and help me unload this truck!”
David worked for my bicycle shop for eighteen years. He came to work every day thirty minutes early. He could talk; however, he rarely chose to. He drove my truck and made deliveries. The customers would praise David, saying,“He doesn't talk, but he really shows you how to operate a lawn mower!”
（1）The author gave David an interview to .
A. find a person who is reliable
B. give him some practice
C. find a part-time worker in need
D. show sympathy for him
（2）The author finally hired David because .
A. he needed someone who was willing to work then
B. there were no other workers in the shop then
C. David kept showing up
D. he realized David was dependable
（3）We can infer from the last paragraph that .
A. some customers just play jokes on David
B. David has had his character changed through work
C. the author feels lucky to hire David
D. the author prefers David to be more outgoing
【答案】（1）B
（2）A
（3）C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，David是作者的一位雇员,虽然他不善言辞,但勤恳踏实的工作态度赢得了顾客的赞美。

他也让作者明白:作者的伙伴们和作者一样都不完美,但却很优秀。

在跟他们一起工作的日子里,作者学会了宽恕、理解和耐心。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第二中的“He requested that I give David an interview jus t for practice.”可知,他要求作者给David进行一次面试,仅仅只是为了练习。

故选B。

（2）考查细节理解。
