【英语】高一英语阅读理解(人物故事)解题技巧分析及练习题(含答案)
一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类
1．Directions: Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
When she was ten years old, Isadora Duncan dropped out of school to teach people dance. 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。

（1）考查词义猜测。

根据第二段中的“N ot only was she already talented enough to earn money even at that age, but she also had a rare kind of confidence”即使在那个年龄，她也有足够的天赋去挣钱，而且她还有一种罕见的自信；以及“something to elevate the fire that is already burning inside of her ”能让她心中燃烧的火焰更旺，可推测出划线部分的意思应为“用困难推动她向梦想前进”。

故选A。

（2）考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的“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. ”可知，她自信地告诉人们她对舞蹈有不同的看法，她将在世界上传播。

很自然，这在一开始就引起了人们的嘲笑和大笑，但随着她的工作越来越多，这样的事情就不那么频繁了。

由此可知，她的舞蹈风格一开始不被人们接受。

故选C。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据最后一段中的“if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life belie ving that it is stupid.”如果你以爬树的能力来判断一条鱼，它终其一生都会认为自己是愚蠢的。

接着又指出在学校里，伊莎多拉·邓肯是个失败者。

在舞厅里，她光彩夺目。

由此可推断出，作者在最后一段想要告诉我们每个人都是独特的天才。

故选B。

（4）考查主旨大意。

2．阅读理解
My family lives in Texas. I was born and brought up in Texas and I am a graduate of the University of Texas. However, around my second year in law school, I wanted to make a great change, which was almost unheard of for Texans: I wanted to leave!
I realized this after completing my first year-year internship(实习期) I knew I wanted something different and my chance came during the 2011 Super Bowl in Dallas. A snowstorm blanketed the entire city in snow and thousands of people were gathered. I overheard that StubHub, a big company from a great city, San Francisco, was throwing a party next door to my hotel. I thought if l could get an internship, I could leave for the summer and at least see what it was like. Yes, it was a huge leap. I told myself I was ready.
There was just one problem: I wasn't invited to the StubHub party. But you know I'm the type of person who goes for something she wants. Needless to say, I crashed the party and found my way to the president. I kindly introduced myself and then asked if they had a legal internship program. Guess what? They accepted my request to be a legal intern, even though no such program existed.
Although the legal department didn't have a permanent position for me, the experience has shaped my life. Working for a great company in San Francisco, I'm incredibly happy for making my decision to leave Texas.
By leaving Texas, I learned that it is so much more rewarding to try the unfamiliar than to stay in the comfortable. Exploring the unfamiliar is how you'll understand what fits your life. I say, dive in head first.

5．阅读理解
Twenty-one years ago, my husband gave me Sam, an eight-week-old schnauzer（雪纳瑞犬）, to help ease the loss of our daughter. 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 Lightning
B. The Coming of Sam and Lightning
C. The Death of Sam to Lightning
D. The Importance of Sam to Us
【答案】（1）C

When my father married my mother in 1943 he gave my mother a 1937 crown coin and told her to keep it in the back of her purse and not spend it. This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it.
When I was married in 1970 my husband who had heard this story obtained a 1937 crown for me and I have always kept it in my wallet and I have always had enough for my needs.
A friend recently fell on hard times partly through external (外部的) circumstances and partly through poor planning. Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, even given her food and tried to teach her budget techniques, but none of them has been a solution. She has just
slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression.
Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless. I then thought about how the crown, a reminder of another's care and love, had protected me so I went to the bank for a $100 dollar bill. I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $100 in the back of her wallet. It turned out that she didn't have a wallet so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins. She immediately felt better. "I feel rich and thank you for being a good friend" she said and we were both a bit teary.
The reason for passing this on is not to praise any generosity on my part but to show the power of "random acts of kindness". I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I'd never used and thought "I'll give that to my friend." I opened it and inside found $100.

8．阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Fifty years ago I had a young family of three boys. My husband Johnny and I left them with a friend while we made a rare trip to the cinema in Liverpool.
It was dark and pouring with rain but with the headlights shining on the road we saw something ahead of us. Johnny pulled to a stop and I jumped out, ran to the grass edge and grabbed a small, wet, and frightened creature. I wrapped it safely in my woollen hat and insisted that my husband turn back and head for home. We thought it was a baby rabbit because it had long ears and was grayish-brown in colour. Once home, we filled a box with torn-up newspaper and a warm towel. We named our new animal Bobsy as we had no idea of its sex.
Sadly though, on the third day with us, it caught its back foot in a door and we quickly realised it was broken. We rushed to the vet (兽医), who said, "It's only a rabbit, I'll put it to sleep." Our response was a very determined, "No way !"We found another vet and told that she was a baby hare. We were told we should continue to keep her in her box for a week and her foot would heal. After her recovery, Bobsy learnt to use the kitty litter tray. She would comb her long ears with
her front paws. The local paper heard about this and came to our house to take her photo and write a story about her. We had her for seven wonderful years before we moved to New Zealand and we will never forget her.
（1）Why did Johnny stop his car suddenly?
A. He came across a friend.
B. The headlights went out.
C. His car broke down on the road.

A. It slept on a door.
B. It was stuck in a door.

（3）Which best describes the family's attitude towards the rabbit?
A. Considerate
B. Cruel
C. Hopeless

9．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

This year marks the 170th anniversary of Paul Gauguin's birth. He lived for just 54 years but he packed his brief life with activity.
The French painter spent his early childhood in Peru before returning to France. As an adult, he continued to travel a lot. Most famously, he spent much of the last decade of his life in Tahiti, an island in southern Pacific Ocean. Indeed, Gauguin is best known for his colorful paintings of Tahitians and their culture.
The restlessness of this great painter has been normal among modern artists since the middle of the 19th century. They're never satisfied for long with a certain style or way of life. Once something becomes conventional, it's turned down.
The artistic culture that Gauguin developed from was that of Impressionism (印象派). Painters like Claude Monet had wanted to paint how they saw the world, not how their teachers taught them it should be seen. Gauguin, and similar artists like his friend Vincent van Gogh, moved even further away from "respectable" art than the Impressionists. For them, it was not simply a matter of seeing the world differently, but feeling and thinking about it differently, too.
Gauguin saw, felt and thought differently from most members of European society. He thought that European culture was too fancy and not spontaneous. This is why he turned to the traditions of other parts of the world, like Africa, and, eventually, Tahiti. Artists like Gauguin used the word "primitive" for these cultures, but not as a negative term. For him, Europe, in becoming modem, industrial and scientific, seemed less natural than other parts of the world.
In truth, Gauguin's paintings may be unconventional but they are certainly not "primitive". They are the work of a painter with great awareness of what he was doing. It was this awareness that made him such an important painter for those that came after, in the 20th century. When we look closely at the works of Gauguin we begin to understand Pablo Picasso, and especially Henri Matisse, a little better.
（1）What can we infer about Gauguin's life?
A. He had an unhappy childhood.
B. He lived most of his life in Peru.
C. He enjoyed painting in Tahiti.
D. He preferred a traditional life style.
（2）What's the main purpose of Paragraph 4?
A. To explain why Gauguin's works were popular.
B. To point out where Gauguin's inspiration came from.
C. To show Gauguin's different understanding of painting.
D. To compare Gauguin's painting style with Vincent van Gogh's.
（3）Which of the following best explains "spontaneous" underlined in Paragraph 5?。
