一、高中英语阅读理解
1.阅读理解
It seems that electronic devices just keep getting smaller. Scientists in the United States have announced the creation of the first transistor with only two dimensions(二维).
A transistor is a small electronic device that transfers or carries electronic current. Scientists hope these new 2D transistors will be used for building high-resolution(高分辨率)displays that need very little energy.
Two groups of scientists created these 2D transistors. They report that the transistors are only a few atoms thick.
Usually transistors are made with the element silicon(硅). Computer processors, memory chips, TV screens and other electronic devices contain billions of silicon-based transistors. But these very small electrical parts have certain limitations.
Dimitris Ioannou is an electrical engineering professor at George Mason University. He says the traditional transistor has been improved as much as it can be. He adds that researchers have been looking for new materials with special features and they want transistors to be seen through and soft.
"If the layers are very thin, the transistor can become flexible, so it doesn't have to be rigid(坚硬的), like it would be in a silicon chip. So people can think of applications like wearable electronics, television screens and other things," said Ioannou.
These new transistors can also carry higher current. They also can move the current much faster than traditional transistors. This is important for high-definition screens.
Dimitris Ioannou says the scientific success could prove very useful in the future. "Now, how good and how useful it will be, it's still in the stage of research, but it certainly is an advance," said Ioannou.
(1)Which of the following statements about the newly created transistor is TRUE?
A.They are expected to be used in high-resolution displays.
B.The transistors are made with the element silicon.
C.They are rigid, just like traditional transistors.
D.They have already been put into actual use.
(2)What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.The traditional transistors have been changed into two-dimensional ones.
B.Many of the traditional transistors have been improved over the years.
C.The traditional transistor has been developed to its fullest.
D.The traditional transistor has been developed quite well.
(3)What is Dimitris Ioannou's attitude towards the creation of the new transistors?
A.Negative.
B.Neutral.
C.Indifferent.
D.Positive.
【答案】(1)A
(2)C
(3)D

2.阅读理解
A science teacher from rural Kenya who gives away most of his salary to help poorer students has been awarded the world's best teacher and $ 1 million, beating 10,000 nominations from 179 countries. Peter Tabichi, 36, a maths and physics teacher at Keriko secondary school in Pwani Village, has won the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize 2019.
Tabichi gives away 80% of his income to help the poorest students at the poorly-equipped and overcrowded school who could not otherwise afford uniforms and books. More than 90% of his students are from poor families and almost a third are orphans or have only one parent. Drug abuse, teenage pregnancies, leaving off their studies, young marriages and suicide are common. Students have to walk 7 km along roads that can become impassable in the rainy season to reach the school and the area can be affected by drought and starvation.
Despite only having one computer, a poor Internet connection and a student-teacher ratio of 58:1, Tabichi started a "talent nurturing club" and expanded the school's science club, helping students design research projects of such quality that many now qualify for national competitions. His students have taken part in international science competitions and won an award from the Royal Society of Chemistry after using local plant life to generate electricity. Tabichi and four colleagues also give struggling students one-to-one tuition in maths and science, visiting students' homes and meeting their families to identify the challenges they face.
Accepting the prize, Tabichi said Africa's young people would no longer be held back by low expectations." Africa will produce scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs whose names will be one day famous in every corner of the world." he said.
(1)What made Peter Tabichi win the prize in 2019?
A. Giving away $ 1 million to education.
B. Teaching in secondary schools for 36 years.
C. Fighting drought and starvation in Africa.
D. Helping the poorer students in rural Kenya.
(2)Why did Tabichi start the "talent nurturing club"?
A. To contribute most of his income.
B. To expand national competitions.
C. To guide students to design research projects.
D. To encourage students to grasp opportunities.
(3)Which of the following best describes Peter Tabichi as a teacher?
A. Independent.
B. Caring.
C. Humorous.
D. Interesting.
(4)What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. African education cost is expected to get lower.
B. Africa is in desperate need of young scientists.
C. Tabichi is not pleased until he is known worldwide.
D. Tabichi has high expectations for young Africans.

3.阅读理解
At 23 I applied for full-time positions with no intention of working five days a week. As a housewife, I had two pre-school children then but wanted to work three days a week.
This was a huge deal for me. I needed to work, but also wanted to spend time with my children while they were young. I didn't want to miss out on school drop-offs and pick-ups. But I also didn't want to miss out on the opportunity of promotion.
Before the interviews, I prepared a plan of how I was going to make this work for me and the employer. I saw it as a two-way agreement — the business adapting to me and me adapting to the business.
Finally I became a member of EY at 33. EY was the only firm that seemed receptive to my plan; in fact, we spent time during that first interview talking about how we could make it work together. Most importantly, the person interviewing me worked flexibly too — four days a week.
I appreciated that I'm one of the lucky ones. Even 10 years on, flexible hiring and working remains the exception rather than the rule for most.
What will help shift views and behavior, in addition to organizations updating their hiring policies, is talking more openly about how most of us organize our day around our responsibilities. We all have a life outside of work and we shouldn't be embarrassed to talk about it, even during a job interview.
It's a change in the way of thinking, not just for employers but employees too. In the early days I was confident about my ability but I probably did have a preconception (先入之见) that working part-time would limit my career progression. What I quickly realized was that if I took responsibility for my development, I could make sure that I got the same opportunities as if I was working full-time. So I offered solutions to how we could make it work, and it made me stand out.(1)Why did the author want a flexible job?
A. To balance her work and life.
B. To have more time to relax.
C. To avoid too much stress in life.
D. To stand out as a special woman.
(2)What perhaps made the author become a member of EY?
A. The time spent discussing her plan.
B. Her relationship with the interviewer.
C. Her great confidence in the interview.
D. The interviewer's understanding her.
(3)What does the author advise to apply for a flexible job?
A. Trying to seize every opportunity one can get.
B. Persuading the company to change its hiring policies.
C. Being honest about one's personal life outside of work.
D. Convincing the employer of one's responsibility for the job.
(4)What can we infer about her job from the passage?
A.It weakened her ability.
B.It made her highly noticeable.
C.It limited her career promotion.
D.It caused her to earn less money.
【答案】(1)A
(2)D
(3)D
(4)B

We all have a life outside of work and we shouldn't be embarrassed to talk about it, even during a job interview.”除了更新招聘政策外,更公开地谈论我们大多数人如何围绕职责安排我们的一天,将有助于改变观点和行为。
我们都有工作之外的生活,我们不应该羞于谈论它,即使是在面试的时候。
可知,作者建议面试时讨论职责安排分配以使面试官相信自己的能力。
故选D。
(4)考查推理判断。
根据最后一段中的“What I quickly realized was that if I took responsibility for my development, I could make sure that I got the same opportunities as if I was working full-time. So I offered solutions to how we could make it work, and it made me stand out.”我很快意识到,如果我对自己的发展负责,我就能确保自己得到和全职工作一样的机会。
所以我提出了解决方案,我们如何使它工作,这使我脱颖而出。
可知,作者通过这次面试而改变思路,主动提出了灵活工作的解决方式而使自己引起注意,得到关注。

4.阅读理解
The age of adulthood is by definition arbitrary. If everyone matured at the same, fixed rate, it
wouldn't be a human process. Indeed, maturation happens at varying speeds across different categories within the same individual, so I'd say I was easily old enough to vote at 16, but nobody should have given me a credit card until I was 32, and I've got the county court judgment to prove it.
However, we broadly agree that there's a difference between a child and an adult, even if we might argue about the transition point. So the political theorist David Runciman's view that six-year-olds should be allowed to vote goes against any standard argument about the age of civic responsibility. Nobody would say that a six-year-old could be held criminally responsible, could be sent to war, could be capable of consent, could be given responsibility for anything. So allowing them the vote—along with, unavoidably, seven-year-olds who are even sillier, if anything—is quite an amusing proposal.
Runciman's argument is that this is the only way to rebalance political life, which is currently twisted in favor of the old, who don't (he added) ever need to demonstrate mental capacity, even long after they've lost it.
The first part of his case is self-evident: pensions are protected while children's centers are closed, concepts such as sovereignty (最高权威) are prioritized over the far more urgent business of the future: climate change. Nostalgia (怀念) for a past the young wouldn't even recognize plays a central role, which is completely unfair.
Most of the arguments against giving six-year-olds a vote are that children would end up voting for something damaging and chaotic, if someone made unrealistic promises to them, which could never be realized. Well, it's not children's fault.
Having said that, children do tend towards the progressive, having a natural sense of justice (which kicks in at the age of six months, psychologists have shown, by creating scenes of great unfairness to babies, and making them cry) and an underdeveloped sense of self-interest. My kid, when he was six, made quite a forceful case against private property, on the basis that, since everybody needed a house, they shouldn't cost money, because nobody would want anyone else not to have one. Also, food should be free. It was a kind of pre-Marx communism, where you limit the coverage of the market to only those things that you wouldn't mind someone else not having.
On that particular day, when we were registered as voters, my kid was quite far to the left of me, but in the normal run of things, we're united, which brings us to the point of the problem: children obey you on almost nothing, but they do seem to believe in your politics until they're adolescent. So giving kids the vote is really just a way of giving parents extra votes. And what can stop us having even more children, once there's so much enfranchisement (选举权) in it for us? Now, if parents could be trusted to use their influence wisely, and hammer into children the politics it will take to assure a better future, then I wouldn't necessarily have a problem with that, apart from, obviously, that culture is already wildly twisted towards parents, and I can imagine a few non-parents boiling with fierce anger. But that's not worth talking about anyway, because parents can't be trusted, otherwise we'd all already vote Green(绿党).
In short: no, six-year-olds should not get the vote; but while we're here, if any votes come up in the near future, which will have an impact on the next five decades of British political life,
alongside EU migrants, 16-year-olds certainly should be enfranchised.
(1)The author refers to his age of adulthood to prove that ________.
A. certain rights are granted at different stages of life
B. there's a common standard for the age of adulthood
C. people mature at different rates in various aspects
D. a credit card is more difficult to get than the vote
(2)People reject David Runciman's proposal because ________.
A. they believe children are far from mature in many ways
B. they are uncertain whether children can assume responsibility
C. they know the age to get the vote is not to be questioned
D. they don't think a child can grow into adulthood earlier
(3)What is the base for David Runciman's argument?
A. Public ignorance of children's abilities.
B. Inequalities of opportunity.
C. A cultural preference for the old.
D. The imbalance in political life.
(4)The author talks about his kid to indicate that ________.
A. children are in favor of a just society and tend to be idealistic
B. children are innocent and don't want to be involved in politics
C. children are simple-minded and can fall for an adult's trick
D. children are good-natured and like to help people in need
(5)The author thinks allowing children the vote may lead to ________.
A. twisted culture
B. parents' objections
C. misuse of rights
D. unusual maturation (6)What is the main point of the passage?
A. There is a difference between adults and children.
B. Allowing children the vote is not altogether absurd.
C. The definition of adulthood is quite controversial.
D. Parents should introduce politics to their children.
【答案】(1)C
(2)A
(3)D
(4)A
(5)C
(6)B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,讲述了儿童成熟的速度是不同,所以作者认为允许儿童投票的提议并不完全是荒谬的,如果将对未来50年的英国政治生活产生影响,16岁的孩子应该被授予选举权。
(1)考查细节理解。
根据第一段中的“Indeed, maturation happens at varying speed s across different categories within the same individual, so I'd say I was easily old enough to vote at 16, but nobody should have given me a credit card until I was 32, and I've got the county court judgment to prove it.”可知,作者以他的成熟年龄来证明人们在各个方面的成熟速度是不一样的。
故选C。
(2)考查推理判断。
根据第二段中的“Nobody would say that a six-year-old could be held criminally responsible, could be sent to war, could be capable of consent, could be given responsibility for anything.”没人说6岁的孩子会被追究刑事责任,会被送上战场,会有同意的能力,会被赋予任何责任。
由此推断,人们拒绝David Runciman的提议是因为他们认为孩子在很多方面还不够成熟,不能被赋予相应的责任。
故选A。
(3)考查细节理解。
根据第三段中的“Runciman's argument is that this is the only way to rebalance political life”可知,Runciman论点的基础是,这是重新平衡政治生活的唯一途径,即政治生活的不平衡导致他提出这个提议。
故选D。
(4)考查推理判断。
根据倒数第四段中的“My kid, when he was six, made quite a for ceful case against private property, on the basis that, since everybody needed a house, they shouldn't cost money, because nobody would want anyone else not to have one. Also, food should be free. It was a kind of pre-Marx communism, where you limit the coverage of the market to only those things that you wouldn't mind someone else not having.”可知,孩子反对私有财产,因为他们觉得每个人需要房子,他们不应该花钱买房,此外食物也应该是免费的,这是一种前马克思共产主义的想法,由此可推测孩子更加公平,更期待理想社会。
故选A。
(5)考查推理判断。
根据倒数第三段中的“So giving kids the vote is really just a way of giving p arents extra votes.”可知,给孩子投票权其实只是给父母额外投票权的一种方式,由此推断作者认为给孩子投票权可能会导致投票权的滥用。
故选C。
(6)考查主旨大意。
根据最后一段“In short: no, six-year-olds should not get the vote; but while we're here, if any votes come up in the near future, which will have an impact on the next five decades of British political life, alongside EU migrants, 16-year-olds certainly should be enfranchised.”可知,作者认为6岁的孩子不应该获得选举权,但是如果将来有任何会影响英国以及欧盟移民未来50年政治生活的投票出现话,16岁的孩子应该被赋予选举权,由此可知作者认为儿童被赋予选举权并不完全是荒谬的。
故选B。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查,是一篇社会类阅读,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
I have three kids and a great husband and I'm enjoying a career that I find challenging and fun. This feels like "Success" to the outside world. But there is still a voice in my heart asking if this is who I truly am. Only in silence do I hear the self and wonder who that person might be.
So I booked a trip to find out. I travelled, for the first time, without my husband or kids. I went to Iceland with a friend, who shares an appreciation for wilderness and silence.
For six days, we were immersed in wild, raw scenery and real weather—all kinds of weather. Climbing a mountain against rain and returning to a tent for a simple meal reminds you how little you actually need. And how strong it feels to be uncomfortable sometimes.
I found silence in Iceland,and time to consider the me outside of career and the me outside of kids as I shared stories with strangers.
When I stopped talking and just listened,I became more generous. I 1earned that choosing to
be generous can create more space, more food and more warmth.
But I didn't really gain any better appreciation of what I want from life or my job. I suspect the anxiety that drove me to seek silence in Iceland was losing sight of my ability to choose gratitude and joy,and to be present in the challenges I set in my career and my family.
I came home to noise,rush and love; with no less confusion on who I want to be. I know the answer isn't waiting out there on the top of a mountain in Iceland. The answer is in front of me with every step on my own 1ife's path, and in every choice I make.

A. To gain a new experience.
B. To enjoy family happiness.
C. To better understand herself.
D. To appreciate natural beauty.
(2)Which word can best describe the author's trip?

B. Embrace reality bravely.
C. Travel to Iceland more often.
D. Pay less attention to her feelings.

(2)D
(3)A

If you wear glasses, chances are you are smarter. Research published in the famous British journal Nature Communications has found that people who displayed higher levels of intelligence were almost 30 percent more likely to wear glasses.
The scientists studied the genes of thousands of people between the ages of 16 and 102.The study showed intelligence can be connected to physical characteristics. One characteristic was eyesight. In out of 10 people who were more intelligent, there was a higher chance they needed glasses. Scientists also said being smarter has other benefits. It is connected to better health.
It is important to remember these are connections which are not proven causes. Scientists call this correlation. Just because something is connected to something else does not mean one of those things caused the other. And it's worth noting that what constitutes intelligence is subjective and can be difficult, if not impossible, to measure.
Forget genes though. Plenty of proof shows wearing glasses makes people think you are more intelligent, even if you do not need glasses. A number of studies have found people who wear glasses are seen as smarter, hard-working and honest. Many lawyers use this idea to help win their cases. Lawyer Harvey Solves explained this. Glasses soften their appearance. He said sometimes there has been a huge amount of proof showing that people he was defending broke the law. He had them wear glasses and they weren't found guilty.
Glasses are also used to show someone is intelligent in movies and on TV. Ideas about people who wear glasses have begun to shift. People who do not need glasses sometimes wear them for fashion only. They want to look worldly or cool. But not everyone is impressed by this idea, though. GQ magazine said people who wear glasses for fashion are trying too hard to look smart and hip (时髦的). However, that hasn't stopped many celebrities from happily wearing glasses even if they do not need them. Justin Bieber is just one high-profile fan of fashion glasses.
(1)What does the new study show?

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了研究发现戴眼镜和高智商有关,文章还指出有些人只是为了追求时尚而戴眼镜。
(1)考查细节理解。
根据第二段中的“The study showed intel ligence can be connected to physical characteristics. One characteristic was eyesight. In out of 10 people who were more intelligent, there was a higher chance they needed glasses.”可知,研究表明,智力与身体特征有关,其中一个特征就是视力,在10个更聪明的人中,他们需要眼镜的几率更高,也就是说戴眼镜与高智商有关,故选D。
(2)考查词义猜测。
根据第三段中的“Just because something is connected to something else does not mean one of those things caused the other.”可知,仅仅因为某物与其他事物相联系并不意味着其中一个事物导致了另一个事物,这是对画线词的解释说明,因此此处是说重要的是要记住这些都是没有被证实的原因的联系,科学家称之为相关性,由此可知画线词词义为“相关联、联系”,故选B。
(3)考查细节理解。
根据第四段中的“A nu mber of studies have found people who wear glasses are seen as smarter, hard-working and honest. Many lawyers use this idea to help win their cases. Lawyer Harvey Solves explained this. Glasses soften their appearance.”可知,许多研究发现,戴眼镜的人被视为更聪明、更勤奋、更诚实,眼镜使他们看起来更温和,许多律师利用这个想法来帮助他们赢得官司,可知,一些律师让他们的当事人在法庭上戴眼镜是因为戴上眼镜有助于塑造一个道德的形象,故选A。
(4)考查推理判断。
根据最后一段中的“People who do not need glasses sometimes wear them for fashion only. They want to look worldly or cool. But not everyone is impressed by this idea, though.”可知,不需要眼镜的人有时戴眼镜只是为了时尚,他们想显得酷一些,但并不是每个人都对这个想法印象深刻,可知,对于那些追求时尚而戴眼镜的人来说,人们的态度是既有人支持也有人反对,故选C。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查,是一篇科研类阅读,考生需要准确掌握细节信息,同时根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,从而选出正确答案。
