一、高考英语阅读理解专项训练
1．阅读理解
Even if you've never been to Phoenix, you know this about the place It's hot. From June to September, the temperature can easily surpass the century mark. But that doesn't stop hikers from attempting the 1.3-mile hiking to the top of the city's famed Camelback Mountain. Signs warn that the trail is "extremely difficult". If you continue, a posted checklist suggests at least a liter of water per person. And if you're still not stopped, another sign farther up declares: "If you're halfway through your water, turn around!"
Unfortunately, many people to not take the warnings seriously. Fortunate y, Scott Cullymore does. The 53-year-old Cullymore can be found hiking up and down Camelback a couple of times a day, giving out cold bottles of water to worn-out hikers. He has helped hydrate so many hikers that he has earned a heavenly nickname: the Water Angel.
Cullymore was on Camelback Mountain one day in 2015 when a British tourist died after being lost for nearly six hours in the July heat. That experience inspired him to start helping people caught unaware by the cruelty of Mother Nature. "They underestimate the mountain, and they overestimate what they can do, and they get themselves in trouble." he warned.
One hiker who was offered water agrees. "You think you know the heat, but then you get out here in the desert and it surrounds you like a blanket," said Austin Hill, who was hiking with a high school friend. They were lucky, he said pointing to Cullymore. "We ran into this Good Samaritan here." And with that, the Water Angel goes in search of another hiker in need.
（1）What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The risks involved in the hiking.
B. The seriousness of the warnings.
C. The distribution of signs that warn hikers.
D. The influence of the temperature on hikers.（2）Why did some hikers on Camelback Mountain get in trouble?
A. They were not well trained in hiking.
B. They forgot to take enough water with them.
C. They were too optimistic about the situation.
D. They were not fit enough to hike the mountain.
（3）What can we know about Austin Hill?
A. He agreed to help others.
B. He was saved by Cullymore.
C. He hiked alone in the desert.
D. He regretted taking a blanket.
（4）What is the best title for the text?
A. The Camelback Mountain
B. Surviving the Heat
C. Hikers in Need
D. The Water Angel
【答案】（1）A
（2）C
（3）B
（4）D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，远足者低估夏日的Camelback Mountain 同时高估自
己的能力，所以在远足途中遇到麻烦，Cullymore了解情况后决定帮助他们。

Cullymore通过在炎炎夏日给那些远足者提供水而被人们亲切地称为“水天使”。

（1）考查段落大意。

根据第一段中的”From June to September, the temperature can easily surpass the century mark“；”Signs warn that the trail is ‘extremely difficult’“；”If you continue, a posted checklist suggests at least a liter of water per person. “和“If you're halfway through your water, turn around!”可知在夏天去Camelback Mountain远足是非常艰难的，原因有两个：一个是温度很高，另一个是水。

故选A。

（2）考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的”They underestimate the mountain, and they overestimate w hat they can do, and they get themselves in trouble.“可知人们低估了这座山，同时高估了自己的能力，因此他们陷入麻烦中，即对情况感到过于乐观导致他们涉险。

故选C。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据最后一段中的”They were lucky, he said pointing to Cullymore. ‘We ran into this Good Samaritan here.’”可知Austin Hill说他们很幸运，因为他们遇到了Cullymore这个乐善好施的人，故推测Cullymore救了他。

故选B。

（4）考查主旨大意。

根据第二段中的“He has helped hydrate so many hikers that he has earned a heavenly nickname: the Water Angel.”和最后一段中的“And with that, the Water Angel goes in search of another hiker in need.”以及文章主要内容可知，本文主要叙述了Cullymore 通过在山上给登山者发水来帮助他们，从而得到“水天使”的昵称，即本文主要讲述“水天使”的故事。

故选D。

2．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. Socializing in a library.
B. Reading books in a library.
C. Visiting a library with a family member.
D. Building parent-child friendship in a library.（3）What is the author's attitude to her students' way of visiting libraries?
A. Cautious.
B. Favorable.
C. Doubtful.
D. Disapproving.
（4）Why does the author write the text?
A. To discuss why libraries are important.
B. To express her deep love for libraries.
C. To explain how libraries change.
D. To introduce her favorite libraries.
【答案】（1）D
（2）A
（3）B
（4）C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了从自己小时候到成家生子再到工作教书这一路上图书馆的变化。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的“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.”可知，现在，我很幸运地住在格伦黑德的冷海岸公共图书馆附近，走一小段路就可以到海崖儿童图书馆，由此可知，作者认为自己很幸运是因为她住得离图书馆很近，故选D。

（2）考查词义猜测。

根据第二段中的“My 18-imonth-old son，Colin，and I find ourselves in Sea Cliff several times a week，meeting and making friends.”可知，我和18个月大的儿子科林每周都要去几次海崖图书馆，在那里见面、交朋友，这是一种社交活动，画线词指代的就是“在图书馆社交”，故选A。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据最后一段中的“Even though they can't always easily visit their local libraries，the library is always with them.”可知，尽管学生们不能总是很容易地参观当地的图书馆，但图书馆总是与他们在一起，由此可知，作者对学生们访问虚拟图书馆的方式是支持的，故选B。

（4）考查推理判断。

纵观全文可知，作者讲述了从自己小时候到成家生子再到工作教书这一路上图书馆所发生的变化，由此可知，作者写这篇文章是为了解释图书馆的变化，故选C。

3．阅读理解
It was just before 8 a.m. on October 17, 2010.She'd checked the higher summits forecast posted by the Mount Washington Observatory before she left. Based on her experience, Bales knew that her hike was realistic. Besides, she had two plans and extra layers of clothing to better regulate her temperature as conditions changed.
At 10:30 a.m., the weather was showing its teeth. Bales added even more layers, including a jacket to protect herself from the cold winds and heavy fog. She made her way across the snow—covered ridge toward Mount Washington and began to think about calling it a day. Then she noticed something: a single set of footprints in the snow ahead of her. She'd been following faint tracks all day and hadn't given them much thought, because so many people climbed Jewell Trail. But these, she realized, had been made by a pair of sneakers. She silently scolded the absent hiker for breaking normal safety rules and walked on.
Now she felt genuinely alarmed. She was sure the hiker could not navigate(找到方向)in the low visibility and was heading straight toward the challenging trails of the Great Gulf Wilderness. Bales stood there, shocked. The temperature and clouds were in a race to find their lowest point, and darkness was mere hours away. If Bales continued to follow the tracks, she'd add risk and time to the route she'd already adjusted to manage both. But she could not let this go. She turned to the left and called out, "Hello!" into the frozen fog.
Bales wouldn't get an answer until a week later, when the president of her rescue group received a letter in the mail. It read: "I hope this reaches the right group of rescuers. I want to remain anonymous(匿名的), but I was called John. On Sunday, October 17, I went up my favorite trail, Jewell, to end my life. Weather was to be bad. Thought no one else would be there. I was dressed to go quickly. Next thing I knew this lady was talking to me, changing my clothes, giving me food, making me warmer."
（1）What does the underlined sentence mean?
A.The weather began to get worse.
B.Nobody controlled the weather.
C.Weather could never be predicted.
D.Weather was generally changeable.
（2）Why did Bales feel really frightened?
A.Because she lost her way completely.
B.Because the terrible weather was on the way.
C.Because she was blinded by the frozen fog.
D.Because she was convinced that someone was in trouble.
（3）What is the purpose of John's hiking?
A.To challenge his limit.
B.To go up his favorite trail.
C.To donate some money to rescue group.
D.To kill himself without being discovered.
【答案】（1）A
（2）D
（3）D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，贝尔斯在天气恶劣时去登山，无意发现一串往危险区域行进的脚印，她知道有人陷入了困境。

尽管很害怕，尽管天气情况很糟糕，她还是跟着脚印继续前进，最终救了那个人。

一周后才知道那人名叫约翰，当时准备自杀。

（1）考查句义猜测。

根据第二段中的“Bales added even more layers, including a jacket to protect herself from the cold winds and heavy fog.可知贝尔斯增加更多的衣服来保护自己免受寒风和浓雾的侵袭，由此推断划线部分的意思是“天气正在变得更糟”。

故选A。

（2）考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的“Now she felt genuinely alarmed. She was sure the hiker could not navigate(找到方向)in the low visibility and was heading straight toward the challenging trails of the Great Gulf Wilderness.“可知贝尔斯看到脚印后非常害怕，因为她知道有人无法导航，这个人正在向海湾区域前进，那是最具挑战性的线路，即贝尔斯确信有人遇上麻烦了，所以她感到害怕。

故选D。

（3）考查细节理解。

根据最后一段中的”On Sunday, October 17, I went up my favorite trail, Jewell, to end my life. Weather was to be bad. Thought no one else would be there. I was dressed to go quickly.”可知，约翰这天选择这条线路去登山的目的是在没人看见的情况下结束自己的生命，所以他穿的很少，以便快速行走。

故选D。

4．阅读理解
Gemini Man
Gemini Man is a big-budget Hollywood sci-fi-action movie based on an original concept, rather than on a superhero comic or an old TV series, even though this particular original concept is more 20 years old. In it a government assassin (杀手)is being hunted down by his own clone The original script was sold by Darren Lemke to a studio in 1997, and since then almost every male A-listener has been attached as a potential star. Now, at long last, Ang Lee has directed Gemini Man, and Will Smith plays both the veteran assassin and his much younger doppelganger (分身).
Jojo Rabbit
During World War Two, a 10-year-old German boy (Roman Griffin David) is desperate to be a dutiful Nazi, only to discover that his mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding, a Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their house. It may not sound like the stuff of a big-hearted comedy but Taika Waititi can make anything warm and funny. As well as writing and directing Jojo Rabbit, Waititi co-stars as the boy's imaginary friend,a nitwitted Adolf Hitler.
Doctor Sleep
Mike Flanag's new film is adapted from Stephen King, novel, Doctor Sleep, which was a sequel (续集) to The Shining. You can expect to see blood flowing out of lifts in a rapid stream, ghostly twin girls and headache-including carpet patterns. Ewan McGregor stars as Danny Torrance, the boy with psychic powers m 1980 film. Now, he is a middle-aged hospital counsellor. Maleficent: Mistress of Evil
Here's another chance to see Angelina Jolie. In 2014 she starred in Maleficent, Disney's live-
action remake of the Sleeping Beauty cartoon from 1959. The twist was that the eponymous wicked fairy wasn't so wicked, after all, and that the real villain was the father of Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning). The sequel's subtitle promises that Maleficent will actually be evil this time around, her change of heart prompted by Aurora's engagement to handsome prince (Harris Dickinson).（1）What can we learn from this passage?
A. Ewan McGregor plays a role in Doctor Sleep.
B. Taika Waititi is the main character in Jojo Rabbit.
C. Gemini Man is adapted from a 20-yem--old TV series.
D. The real wicked character in Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is Aurora.
（2）If your friend wants to see a horror movie, which one will you recommend?
A. Gemini Man
B. Jojo Babbit
C. Doctor Sleep
D. Maleficent: Mistress of Evil
【答案】（1）A
（2）C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了四部电影。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据Doctor Sleep部分中的“Ewan McGregor stars as Danny Torrance, the boy with psychic powers in 1980 film.”可知Ewan McGregor在电影Doctor Sleep扮演Danny Torrance的角色。

故选A。

（2）考查推理判断。

根据Doctor Sleep部分中的“You can expect to see blood flowing out of lifts in a rapid stream, ghostly twin girls and headache-including carpet patterns.”可知电影里有血腥场景，可怕的双胞胎姐妹和让人头痛的地毯图案，故推测喜欢看恐怖电影的人，会选择Doctor Sleep这部电影。

故选C。

5．阅读理解
When you live in total messiness—cookies in your pants draws, and some old New Yorkers or apple seeds in your bed—it's hard to know where to look for when you lose your keys. The other day, after two weeks of searching, I found my keys in the refrigerator. I can't say I was surprised. But I was surprised when I was diagnosed with ADHD(多动症), when I was a junior at Yale.
According to a new study, 11% of school-age children have received an ADHD diagnosis, a 16% increase since 2007. And rising diagnoses mean rising treatments—drugs like Adderall are more accessible than ever. However, the consequences of misuse and abuse of these drugs are dangerous.
Yet also harmful are the consequences of ADHD undiagnosed, an all-too-common story for women like me, who have symptoms, like disorganization and forgetfulness, which look different from those typically expressed in males.
Dr. Ellen, author of Understanding Girls with ADHD, has found around 4 million females with ADHD are not diagnosed. "The main reason is that the diagnostic criteria were developed based on those hyperactive（过度活跃）young boys taken to clinics, making it difficult for girls to be diagnosed unless they behave like hyperactive boys." Ellen says.
Besides, the idea that young women actually have ADHD often causes skepticism. As a top student, I didn't believe my diagnosis at first. My friends were also confused, and rather certain my doctor was misguided.
"Often, if girls are smart or in supportive homes, symptoms are masked," Dr.Ellen says. "Girls will hide their inability to meet social expectations. They see their trouble organizing, and concentrating as character flaws(缺陷)."
These years, I am both embarrassed and exhausted by my struggles to keep track of objects, but drug has helped it and made it more bearable.
（1）The writer presents the first paragraph to .
A. air her view with an example
B. bring up the topic of the passage
C. show young people's messiness
D. prove Yale also has ADHD students
（2）Many female with ADHD are not diagnosed mainly because .
A.the diagnostic criteria are made according to male ADHD
B.they are smart enough to mask their ADHD symptoms
C.they don't view their trouble as symptoms of ADHD
D.women ADHD are more hyperactive than young boys
（3）What does the word "skepticism" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.panic.
B.stubbornness.
C.debate.
D.doubt.
（4）What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Why female ADHD patients develop the disease.
B.Why many female ADHD patients are undiagnosed.
C.How young ADHD patients are cured of the disease.
D.How much help ADHD patients can get from medication.
【答案】（1）B
（2）A
（3）D
（4）B
【解析】【分析】文章借由作者的亲身经历讲述女性多动症不容易被诊断出来的原因。

（1）推理判断题。

根据文章第一段的结构和But I was surprised when I was diagnosed with ADHD（多动症）,when I was a junior at Yale.以及下文关于多动症的内容可知，作者讲述第一段的目的是为了引出下文关于多动症的话题，故选B项。

（2）细节理解题。

根据文章第四段的The main reason is that the diagnostic criteria were developed based on those hyperactive（过度活跃）young boys taken to clinics, making it difficult for girls to be diagnosed unless they behave like hyperactive boys.可知诊断多动症的标准是基于过度活跃的年轻男孩来制定的，所以很难诊断出女孩，除非她们的行为像过度活跃的男孩，故选A项。

（3）词义猜测题。

根据画线部分后面的As a top student, I didn't believe my diagnosis at
first.My friends were also confused, and rather certain my doctor was misguided.可知作者一开始不相信多动症的诊断结果，她的朋友也很困惑，认为是医生诊断错误，即她们都怀疑医生的诊断，故推测画线部分的意思是"怀疑"，故选D项。

（4）主旨大意题。

文章第三段主要讲述女性多动症的症状和男性不同；第四段主要讲述女孩很难被诊断出多动症，因为诊断标准是按男性制定的；第五段主要讲述女性自己会怀疑诊断结果；第六段主要讲述女性会把多动症症状隐藏起来。

综上所述，本文主要讲述女性不容易被诊断出多动症的原因，故选B项。

6．阅读理解
Being forgiving to yourself and others can protect against stress and the harm it does to mental health, according to a new study in the Journal of Health Psychology.
Researchers looked at the effects of lifetime stress on a person's mental health, and how more forgiving people got along compared with people who weren't so forgiving. To do this, they asked 148 young adults to fill out questionnaires that assessed their levels of lifetime stress, their tendency to forgive and their mental and physical health.
No surprise, people with greater exposure to stress had worse mental and physical health. But the researchers also discovered that if people were highly forgiving of both themselves and others, that characteristic alone almost removed the connection between stress and mental illness.
"It's almost entirely erased—it's zero," says study author Toussaint. "If you don't have forgiving tendencies, you feel the immediate effects of stress in a severe way. You don't have anything to cushion you against that stress."
How a forgiving personality protects a person from the influence of severe stress is hard to determine. The researchers infer that people who are more forgiving may adopt better skills to deal with stress, or their reaction to major stressors(压力源)may be slow.
Though more research is needed to fully understand the benefits of being more forgiving, Toussaint believes"100％"that forgiveness can be learned. His own previous research has shown that saying a short prayer on forgiveness can help people take the edge off. "I think most people want to feel good and forgiveness offers you the opportunity to do that," he says.
（1）The researchers got the effect of forgiving by_____.
A. analyzing questionnaires
B. doing scientific experiment
C. writing research papers
D. communicating with 148 adults
（2）What can we infer from the passage?
A. Forgiving tendencies can deal with all mental problems.
B. It remains unknown why forgiveness helps to reduce stress.
C. Toussaint's study has fully discovered the benefits of being forgiving.
D. Saying a short prayer on forgiveness is the key to getting rid of stress.
（3）What does the underlined phrase "take the edge off' in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Look ahead.
B. Become relaxed.
C. Make up their mind.
D. Stick to their goals.
（4）What may be the best title for the passage?
A. A new study on physical health
B. Forgiving yourself makes you feel good
C. Forgiveness is good for mental health
D. Getting rid of stress is good for your health
【答案】（1）A
（2）B
（3）B
（4）C
【解析】【分析】研究发现拥有一颗宽容的心，能减少焦虑和压力，让人心理健康。

（1）细节理解题。

根据文章第二段的To do this, they asked 148 young adults to fill out questionnaires that assessed their levels of lifetime stress，可知，为了弄明白真相，研究人员
让148个人填写了问卷调查，即他们是通过研究问卷调查来得出宽容的影响，故选A项。

（2）推理判断题。

根据文章第五段的How a forgiving personality protects a person from the influence of severe stress is hard to determine. 可知目前很难确定宽容是如何防止人们不受严
重压力的伤害，故推断宽容可以减少压力的原因是未知的，故选B项。

（3）词义猜测题。

根据画线部分下文的I think most people want to feel good and forgiveness offers you the opportunity to do that可知宽容能让人感觉良好，故推测画线部分
所在句子意思是：说一个和宽容相关的祷言能让人感觉良好。

故划线部分的意思和"感觉良好"接近，故选B项。

7．阅读理解
DNA analysis has revealed family relationships between more than 10 generations of Stone Age people at megalithic (巨石的) tombs in Ireland and Sweden.
The evidence suggests that megaliths, prehistoric large stone structures, sometimes acted as graves for family groups in northwestern Europe thousands of years ago. The latest findings throw new light on the origins and social structure of the groups that built megaliths in this region—a history that has long been hidden in mystery.
For their study, the international team of researchers analyzed the genomes—the complete set
of genetic material in a cell—of 24 Stone Age individuals from five megalithic burial sites in Ireland, Scotland and Gotland, a large Swedish island in the Baltic Sea.
This analysis showed that many of the individuals buried at each megalith, who all lived
between 3,800 B.C. and 2,600 B.C., according to radiocarbon-dating of their remains, were closely related via family ties.
The results also showed that the individuals buried at the megaliths were related to Neolithic farmers in northern and western Europe but genetically distinct from other hunter-gatherers. This was particularly noticeable at the Ansarve site on the island of Gotland.
"The people buried in the Ansarve tomb are remarkably different on a genetic level compared to the individuals dug out from hunter-gather contexts, showing that the burial tradition in this megalithic tomb, which lasted for over 700 years, was performed by distinct groups with roots in the European Neolithic expansion," Magdalena Fraser, co-first author from Uppsala University, said in the statement.
（1）What's the significance of the new findings?
A. It reveals the family ties between people in Ireland and Sweden.
B. It implies that many people buried in the tombs were closely related.
C. It indicates the long-hidden mystery concerning DNA analysis.
D. It suggests that the megaliths became tombs thousands of years ago.
（2）How did the researchers reach their findings?
A.By interviewing individuals.
B.By travelling to different regions.
C.By analyzing genes.
D.By studying the burial sites.
（3）Which is true according to the latest findings?
A.Some people buried in the tombs were related to farmers.
B.Few people buried in the tombs were genetically different.
C.All the people buried at megaliths had family relationships.
D.People buried in the Ansarve tomb were dug out 700 years later.
（4）What's the main idea of this passage?
A.Megaliths served as tombs thousands of years ago.
B.People buried at the megaliths were recently analyzed.
test findings shed light on a mystery about burials.
D.Stone-Age people in Ireland and Sweden had close ties.
【答案】（1）B
（2）C
