高一英语阅读理解专项训练及答案含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Dodder is an unusual and unwanted plant that attacks other plants. Except for its flowers, the plant looks like spaghetti, a kind of noodles in the shape of long thin pieces that look like string when they are cooked. It's almost leafless, thread-like stems hang down on top of other plants that dodder needs to stay alive. Dodder does not produce its own food. Instead, it steals food from other plants. It feeds by sucking juices from the plant which is wrapped around, often making its host very weak or even killing it.Dodder can find other plants by their smell. When a young dodder plant starts growing, it follows the smell of plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm crops. Unlike most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant will grow in the direction of, for example, tomato smell—if a tomato happens to be growing nearby.However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly. It no longer needs its root once it is attached to the host and wrapped around it. If it cannot catch a smell of a potential host within a few days, it will dry up and vanish even if there is plenty of water around. Once it finds a host, the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster. At that point the dodder plant will drop its root.Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers. When it does get out of hand, dodder can greatly reduce a farmer's harvest or even destroy crops completely. Before sowing their produce, especially farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make sure no unwanted dodder seeds have mixed with their crop seeds. This is a good way to stop dodder plants from making their way to a crop field secretly.(1)Why does the author mention spaghetti in the first paragraph?A. To analyze the content of some food.B. To introduce the topic of this passage.C. To tell the usage of the dodder plants.D. To describe the shape of dodder plants.(2)What does the underlined word “vanish” in the third paragraph mean?A. invade.B. grow.C. escape.D. disappear.(3)What can be inferred from the passage?A. Dodder doesn't produce its own food.B. Dodder gives off smell to attract plants.C. Dodder can affect farmers' income.D. Dodder can only survive in the shade.(4)What is the purpose of the passage?A. To introduce a new variety of farm crops.B. To introduce plants that are harmful to humans.C. To introduce the special abilities of a dangerous plant.D. To introduce recent improvements in farming methods.【答案】(1)D(2)D(3)C(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一种有特殊生长习性,危害农作物生长的攀附植物——菟丝子。

高中英语阅读理解定时训练一(满分50,每小题2.5分,限时45分钟)阅读理解第一节ADear Alfred,I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150 at 17, I’m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍). Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.(1)While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn’t. So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video. This has given me a purpose.Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, (2)without dealing with the public, I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job—Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.(2)Thank you. You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because I’m doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole.This is why you’re saving my life.Yours,Tanis1. Why didn’t Tanis go to college after high school?A. She had learned enough about computer science.B. She had more difficulty keeping focused.C. She preferred taking online courses.D. She was too slow to learn.2. As for the working environment, Tains prefers_________.A. working by herselfB. dealing with the publicC. competing against othersD. staying with ADHD students3. Tanis wrote this letter in order to___________.A. explain why she was interested in the computerB. share the ideas she had for her professionC. show how grateful she was to the centerD. describe the courses she had taken so farB(5)It’s surprising how much simple movements of the body can affect the way we think. Using expansive gestures with open arms makes us feel more powerful, crossing your arms makes you more determined and lying down can bring more insights(领悟).So if moving the body can have these effects, what about the clothes we wear? We’re all well aware of how dressing up in different ways can make us feel more attractive, sporty or professional, depending on the clothes we wear, but can the clothes actually change cognitive (认知的) performance or is it just a feeling?(6)Adam and Galinsky tested the effect of simply wearing a white lab coat on people’s powers of attention. The idea is that white coats are associated with scientists, who are in turn thought to have close attention to detail.What they found was that people wearing white coats performed better than those who weren’t. Indeed, they made only half as many errors as those wearing their own clothes on the Stroop Test( one way of measuring attention). The researchers call the effect “enclothed cognition,” (4)suggesting that all manner of different clothes probably affect our cognition in many different ways.This opens the way for all sorts of clothes-based experiments. Is the writer who wears a fedora more creative? Is the psychologist wearing little round glasses and smoking a cigar more insightful? Does a chef’s hat make the resultant food taste better?From now on I will only be editing articles for PsyBlog while wearing a white coat to help keep the typing error count low. Hopefully you will be doing your part by reading PsyBlog in a cap and gown(学位服).4. What is the main idea of the text?A. Body movements change the way people think.B. How people dress has an influence on their feelings.C. What people wear can affect their cognitive performance.D. People doing different jobs should wear different clothes.5. What is the major function of paragraph 1?A. To arouse the reader’s concern.B. To introduce the theme of the whole passage.C. To summarize the whole passage.D. To give examples of body movements.6. Adam and Galinsky’s experiment tested the effect of clothes on their wearers’________.A. insightsB. movementsC. attentionD. appearance7. How does the author sound in the last paragraph?A. Academic.B. Humorous.C. Formal.D. Hopeful.CAs data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric(生物测量) technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they (8)have come up with a low-cost device(装置) that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things likethe force of a user’s typing and the time between key presses. (9)These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it’s connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.It also doesn’t require a new type of technology that people aren’t already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.(11)In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straight forward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.8. Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?A. To reduce pressure on keys.B. To improve accuracy in typing.C. To replace the password system.D. To cut the cost of e-space protection.9. What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?A. Computers are much easier to operate.B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.C. Typing patterns vary from person to person.D. Data security measures are guaranteed.10. What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?A. It’ll be environment-friendly.B. It’ll reach consumers soon.C. It’ll be made of plastics.D. It’ll help speed up typing.11. Where is this text most likely from?A. A diary.B. A guidebookC. A novel.D. A magazine.DThe idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid----(12)we simply weigh too much, and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the w ater’s surface with its feet. (13)The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans to do this, we’d need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate “hitting” .But fortunately there is an alternative(可替换的选择):cornflour(玉米淀粉). (14)By adding enough of this common thickening agent(增稠剂) to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a “non-Newtonian”liquid that doesn’t behave like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(粒子) in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour.(15)Fun though all this may sound, it’s still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice. If you must do it, then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink and take a shower afterward!12. Walking on water hasn’t become a reality mainly because humans______.A. are not interested in itB. have biological limitationsC. have not invented proper toolsD. are afraid to make an attempt13. What do we know about Basilicus basilicus from the passage?A. It is light enough to walk on water.B. Its huge feet enable it to stay above water.C. It can run across water at a certain speed.D. Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in water.14. What is the function of the cornflour according to the passage?A. To create a thick liquid.B. To turn the water into solid.C. To help the liquid behave normally.D. To enable the water to move rapidly.15. What is the author’s attitude toward the idea of humans’ walking on water?A. It is risky but beneficial.B. It is interesting and worth trying.C. It is crazy and cannot become a reality.D. It is impractical though theoretically possible.阅读理解第二节Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations. They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago. 16The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses.17 so they are called “diseases of civilization”. Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. 18 However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic (驯养的) ones. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. 19 We eat six times more salt than our ancestors. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.20 But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.A. Stone Age people lived a simple life.B. But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.C. In that case, they would live much healthier.D. Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.E. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.F. People today probably don’t want to live like our ancestors.G. Modern people used to suffer from “diseases of civilization”答案:1.

Elizabeth would wave from her darkened room but refuse to join the gatherings. Nearly blind, and requiring oxygen, she never left her bedside. I soon learned, though, that she loved books, and every day after work I would read to her.In dim light we made our way through "King Lear," "Henry IV," "Jane Eyre," the poems of Rupert Brooke.Two golden hours might pass before I'd pack up to return to my apartment. Before I could leave she'd pressmy hand, saying, "Child --my literary child. You bring me such joy." Elizabeth's husband died a decade earlier, and their only child, a daughter, was distant for what heartbreaking reason I never knew.One day an old friend of hers visited and brought her some soup. Smiling broadly, Elizabeth squeezed my arm. "Tomorrow, child, we shall feast."The next evening I found Elizabeth's bed empty. "I'm sorry," the nurse whispered. She handed me a box and nodded. "She left everything to you." At home, I unpacked it, finding two white sweaters, the dozen leather-bound books and, at the bottom, the can of soup.That summer I decided ray path. I returned to school to studyliterature.And for 26 years the soup has stayed in my kitchen. It's remained unopened and now is rusted (生锈的). But the memories are preserved.24. Why did Elizabeth refuse to join the gatherings?A. She had many books to read.B. She was not a very social person.C. She was restricted in her movement.D. She had no interest in those activities.25. What do we know about Elizabeth?A. She loved writing poems.B. She often visited her friends.C. She got divorced ten years ago.D. She had little contact with her daughter.26. Which is correct to best describe the author according to the text?A. She used to be doctor.B. She was inspired by Elizabeth.C. She taught literature for 26 years.D. She didn't like the taste of the soup.27. What is the best title for the passage?A. A book-loving friendB. An unforgettable literary journeyC. An interesting nursing experienceD.

It was obvious they were making fun of somethingabout him and it wasn't until he remembered he was wearing a small pink ribbon(丝带) on the lapel of his suit that he became aware of what the joke was all about.The man pretended not to notice it, but the whisper and laughter began to get to him. He looked one of therude young men straight into the eye, placed his hand beneath the ribbon and asked, "This?"With that the young men all began to laugh out loud.

I wear it in my mother's honor.""Oh, sorry. She died of breast cancer?""No, she didn't. She's alive and well. But her breasts nourished me as a baby, and were a soft resting place for my head when I was scared or lonely as a little boy. I'm very grateful for my mother's breasts, and her health.""Umm," the young replied, "yeah.""And I wear this ribbon to honor my wife," the man continued."And she's okay, too?" the young guy asked."Oh, yes. She's fine. Her breasts have been a great source of loving pleasure for both of us, and with them she nurtured and nourished our daughter 23 years ago. I'm grateful for my wife's breasts, and her health.""Uh, huh. And I guess you wear it to honor your daughter,also?""No. It's too late to honor my daughter by wearing it now ……"Shaken and ashamed, the young guy said, "Oh, I'm so sorry, mister.""So, in my daughter's memory, too, I proudly wear this little ribbon, which allows me the opportunity toWith this, he reached in his pocket and handed the young man a little pink ribbon. enlighten others.

The broken houses seemed to be weeping quietly. I couldn't describe how I felt. But something special among the debris (废墟) turned my day around.I joined a club to clean up the beach after the storm last November. As I removed the debris from the beach, I noticed an object with shiny buttons in the wet sand. It was a jacket, and I was excited since Halloween was coming and I thought I had found a great costume. After picking it up, I was able to see that the jacket was from West Point (西点军校), the United States Military Academy, and it had the name "deGavre" written inside.I realized the jacket might be important to someone. I decided to find the jacket's owner and return it.I called the West Point Museum, considering that if the family couldn't be found, the jacket should go there.The museum connected me with Kim McDermott, Director of Communications for the Academy's Association of Graduates. Kim soon ensured that the jacket had belonged to Chester Braddock deGavre, who was a 1933 graduate and a war hero, but passed away in 1993.I sent Kim a photo of the jacket and she posted it to the West Point Association of Graduates Facebook Page, asking if anyone could help us find the family. In less than two hours, someone had found and called the hero's wife, Teresa. Soon I started to receive personal messages from members of the deGavre family, their friends and others who were touched by the story and they found me on Facebook.Finding Chester deGavre's jacket and connecting to his familywith the help of Facebook have been someaningful to me.

Neither of us makes a lot of money, but years of experience have taught us how to walk between the raindrops and make it from one month to the next with a fair amount of grace. I cook a lot at home, more when we're facing lean times. When I know that I have to keep usfed on notmuch money, I fall back on my grandmother's recipes. She taught me to cook.When I was a kid, my twin brother and I spent long summer weeks and Christmas vacations with my mother's parents in the mountains of North Carolina. Rather than go hunting with my grandfather on frozen mornings, I found myself more and more in the kitchen with my grandmother, watching her making a lemon cheese pie with her soft hands.My great-grandmother died when my grandmother was 11 years old. As the eldest daughter, she was expected to take on all of the housework while attending school. Throughout the Great Depression, she learned how to makea little food go a long way. Vegetables were cheap, so she cooked a lot of them, mostly only using small amounts of meat for seasoning. Roast beef was a twice-a-month luxury, but there was nothing she couldn't do with a chicken, every part of it. Nothing went to waste.Now I understand that her food was sacred. I feel connected to my grandmother and to hundreds of years offamily when I'm in my kitchen making country food. In the delicious smells is a long tale of victory over hard times, of conquering starvation--of not just surviving, but finding joy and pleasure in every meal of every day.From grandmother I learned to take real satisfaction in feeding people. My grandmother would beam withpleasure over a heavily laden table and say, "Do you know what this would cost at the restaurant?" I never knew what restaurant in particular she had in mind, but I knew that the question was totally not fair, because no restaurantanywhere can cook like a grandmother. But now, thanks to her guidance and years of practice, I can.28. According to the passage, the author cooks a lot at home because__________.A. she wants to try out her grandmother's recipesB. she and her husband are quite particular about foodC. she enjoys cooking at homeD. she and her husband are embarrassed financially29. What does the underlined word "lean" mean in the first paragraph?A. with a bad harvestB. with little moneyC. with little energyD. with little work30. According to the passage, the author's grandmother__________.A. learnt to cook throughout the Great DepressionB. was careful in budgetingC. preferred chicken to beefD. was careful in cooking vegetables31. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Cook like My GrandmotherB. My Grandmother's Sacred FoodC. My Grandmother's RecipeD. Joy and Pleasure in Cooking5."Joe? Is that you?" The woman speaking to me at the baseball game looked a little familiar. "Marci?" I asked."It IS you !" she cried out, smiling broadly. "Gosh, it's good tosee you again !"It was good to see Marci, too. Off and on during the past few decades, I've wondered about her. I almost triedto search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1990s had been pretty rough for Marci. So meeting her at the baseball game was really out of expectation.We spent a few minutes talking about our lives—the good old, bad old days. Then Marci grew quiet for a moment. "You know, Joe," she said, " I've always wanted to tell you…how…how sorry I am for the way I tr you. You must have been hurt both physically and mentally." I was a little embarrassed. I turned and looked at her."It's OK," I said, "No big deal!" "But I was such a jerk," she continued. Yes you were, I thought. "We were bothpretty young," I smiled. "I know." she said, "It's just always bothered me, remembering how mean I was to you.And I've wanted to tell you that I'm sorry."The expression on her face was warm and sincere. And there was something in her eyes—it looked a lot like relief. "OK," I said. "Apology accepted!" Overcome by the sweetness of the moment, I reached an arm around herand gave her a quick hug. Just then, the crowd erupted with a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our attention to the game. By the time I looked over to where she had been, she was gone. But the warm, wonderful feeling of our brief exchange was still there, and continues to this day whenever I think about it.It isn't enough to just say "I'm sorry" and "You're forgiven." But when those words are truly felt and sincerely expressed, they can open the door to miracles of the heart. Forgiveness can bringpeace to an injured soul—even years after the fact. Even at a baseball game.21. What kind of life did Marci live during the late 20th century according to the passage?A. Happy.B. Busy.C. Hard.D. Simple.22.

Because she found she was not mean any longer.24. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Excitement of a Baseball GameB. Mental Burden of a WomanC. Miracles of ForgivenessD. Relief of Finding a friend6.John Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his army uniform, and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face hedidn't, the girl with the rose.His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in a Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwritingreflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owner's name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War II.During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was budding. Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt thatif he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like.When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting --7:00 PM at the Great Central Station in New York. "You'll recognize me," she wrote, "by the red rose I'll be wearing on my lapel."So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he'd never seen.I'll let Mr. Blanchard tell you what happened: A young woman was coming toward me, and her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears; her eyes were blue as flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like springtime come alive. I started toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, attractive smile curved her lips. "Going my way, sailor?" she murmured.Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, andthen I saw Hollis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away. I feltas though I was split in two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly accompanied me and upheld my own.And there she stood Her pale,plump face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify meto her.This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a friendship for which I had been and must ever be grateful. I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out thebook to the woman, even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointment. I'm Lieutenant (中尉)John Blanchard,and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?"The woman's face broadened into a tolerant smile. "I don't know what this is about, son," she answered, "butthe young lady in the green suit who just went by, she begged me to wear this rose on my coat And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across thestreet She said it was some kind of test!"It's not difficult to understand and admire Miss Maynell's wisdom. The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to theunattractive, "Tell me whom you love," Houssaye wrote, "And I will tell you who you are."65. The underlined phrase "intrigued" in Paragraph 2 means "______" .A. satisfied withB. fascinated byC. encouraged byD. frustrated with66. How did John Blanchard know of Miss Hollis Maynell?A.

Which of the following can be the best title for thepassage?A. Don't Judge a Book by its CoverB. The Symbol of RoseC. Love is BlindD. A Test of Love7.I went to the Tsavo National Park in northern Kenya for a film. We set off early for a distant water hole. Ahuge elephant covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply. He might have traveled 50 km to reach the water.He wasn't going to hurry now. We thought that he'd drink a while and rest in the shade, and then drink again. What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away. Then he suddenly fell down. Within minutes he was dead.We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately. He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephant's body, and let out over 100 liters of pus(脓)--the result of the elephant's meeting with a poacher months ago.Today's poacher shoots from a distance. An arrow, covered with poison, is fired into the body of an elephant. If the poacher is lucky, the elephant might die in an hour or two; if not, he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies. Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once-- it doesn't mean the poison won't finally killthe elephant, but it will be a slow death.Living in Tsavo through these times, I could see the results of poaching from time to time. When I think aboutthe death of that elephant, what stays with me is the extraordinary silence after the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground. I took some comfort from the knowledge that as thedead body returned to the soil, some animals would benefit-- but I couldn't escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed to be a poorer and emptier place.24. While filming near the water hole, the author and his team ______.A. knew the elephant was injuredB. found the elephant acted violentlyC. tried their best to save the elephantD. thought the elephant was in good condition25. According to the passage, the underlined word "poacher" is probably ______.A. A hunter who kills or catches animals illegallyB. A kind of fierce meat-eating animalC. A serious disease that can infect elephantsD. A kind of deadly poison26. Further examination showed that the dead elephant ______.A. had suffered a lotB. was killed by a poisonous needleC. had suffered an hour or twoD. had had a good fight with a poacher27. Why did the author write the article?A. To introduce the African elephant.B. To show the cruelty of poaching.C. To describe his filming experience.D. To ask readers to protect wild animals.8.Pete Richards was the loneliest man in town on the day that little Jean Grace opened the door of his shop.Pete's grandfather had owned the shop until his death. Thenthe shop became Pete's. The front window wasfull of beautiful old things: jewelry of a hundred years ago, gold and silver boxes, carved figures from China and Japan and other nations.On this winter afternoon, a child stood there, her face close to the window. With large and serious eyes, she studied each piece in the window. Then, looking pleased, she stepped back from the window and went into the shop. Pete himself stood behind the counter. His eyes were cold as he looked at the small girl. " Please," she began, " would you let me look at the pretty string of blue beads in the window?" Pete took the string of blue beads from the window. The beads were beautiful against his hand as he held the necklace up for her to see."They are just right," said the child as though she were alone with the beads. "Will you wrap them up in pretty paper for me, please? I've been looking for a really wonderful Christmas present for my sister."How much money do you have?" asked Pete.She put a handful of pennies on the counter. "This is all I have," she explained simply. "I've been saving the money for my sister's present. "Pete looked at her, his eyes thoughtful. Then he carefully closed his hand over the price mark on the necklace so that she could not see it. How could he tell her the price? The happy look in her big blue eyes struck him like the pain of an old wound."Just a minute," he said and went to the back of the shop. "What's your name?" he called out. He was very busy about something."Jean Grace," answered the child.When Pete returned to the front of the shop, he held apackage in his hand. It was v/rapped in pretty Christmas paper."There you are," he said. "Don't lose it on the way home. "She smiled happily at him as she ran out of the door. Through the window he watched her go. He felt more alone than ever.Something about Jean Grace and her string of beads had made him feel once more the pain of his old grief. The child's hair was as yellow as the sunlight; her eyes were as blue as the sea. Once upon a time, Pete had loved a girl with hair of that same yellow and with eyes just as blue. And the necklace of blue stones had been meant for her.But one rainy night, a car had gone off the road and struck the girl. After she died, Pete felt that he had nothing left in the world except his grief. The blue eyes of Jean Grace brought him out of that world of self-pity and made him remember again all that he had lost. The pain of remembering was so great that Pete wanted to run away from the happy Christmas shoppers who came to look at his beautiful old things during the next ten days.When the last shopper had gone, late on Christmas Eve, The door opened and a young woman came in. Pete could not understand it, but he felt that he had seen her before. Her hair was sunlight yellow and her eyes weresea-blue. Without speaking, she put on the counter a package wrapped in pretty Christmas paper. When Pete opened the package, the string of blue beads lay again before him.Did this come from your shop?" she asked.Pete looked at her with eyes no longer cold. "Yes, it did," he said."Are the stones real?""Yes. They aren't the best turquoise(绿松石), but they are real. ""Can you remember to whom you sold them?""She was a small girl. Her name was Jean. She wanted them for her sister's Christmas present. ""How much were they?""I can't tell you that," he said. "The seller never tells anyone else what a buyer pays. ""But Jean has never had more than a few pennies. How could she pay for them?""She paid the biggest price one can ever pay," he said.For a moment there was no sound in the little shop. Then somewhere in the city, church bells began to ring. It was midnight and the beginning of another Christmas Day."But why did you do it?" the girl asked.Pete put the package into her hands."There is no one else to whom I can give a Christmas present," he said. "It is already Christmas morning. Will you let me take you to your home? I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas at your door. "And so, to the sound of many bells, Pete Richards and a girl whose name he had not yet learned walked outinto the hope and happiness of a new Christmas Day.27. Pete did not say the price of the necklace because ______.A. the seller never tells anyone else what a buyer paysB. he priced the necklace too highC. he knew it would disappoint the girlD. he didn't want to sell the necklace28. The eyes of Jean Grace brought Pete out of his world of self-pity and he ______.A. tried to forget the memory of his sweetheartB. began to look at the world optimisticallyC. remembered his lost loveD. no longer felt the pain in him29. By saying "She paid the biggest price one can ever pay," Pete meant that Jean Grace_________.A. gave the most money for the necklaceB. gave all she had with her for the necklaceC. appreciated the value of the necklaceD. wanted to have the best thing in the shop30. At the end of the story we see that Pete _____ .A. found another girl that he could trustB. met someone who truly loved himC. found a place to go at lastD. regained his ability to love9.Martha had been working for Miller Laboratories for two years, but she was not happy there. Nothing significant had happened in the way of promotions or salary increases. Martha felt that her supervisor, a youngerand less experienced person than she, did not like her. In fact, the supervisor often said unpleasant things to her.One day, while talking with her friend Maria, she mentioned how discouraged she gave her the name of a cousin of hers who was director of Human Resources Department for a large chemical company. Martha called him the next day and set up an interview on her lunch hour.During the interview, Mr. Petri said, "You're just the kind of person we need here. You're being wasted in your other job. Give me a call in a day or two. I'm sure we can find a place for you in our organization." Martha was so happy she almost danced out of the building.。

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Researchers in Australia have discovered an effective new method to capture the atmospheric carbon dioxide that is damaging our planet and transform it into something solid, making it much easier to store.Carbon capture isn't new, but previous methods call for the gas to be compressed into liquid and then injected underground. Widespread usage of that technology has been locked by economic and environmental concerns due to possible leaks. Instead, in a study published in Nature Communications, the group details their sustainable and cost-effective plan for transforming CO2 into coal.This new process involves a liquid metal catalyst(催化剂)that is efficient in conducting electricity. CO2gas is dissolved in a container with some liquid. Once electricity charge is introduced, the CO2 begins to turn into solid pieces of carbon, which can be collected and stored. What makes this particularly unique is that the entire process can occur at room temperature. Previous experiments have only shown a gas to solid conversion at extremely high temperature, which made it impossible on a large scale. Now, the researchers are hoping that their work will be used to create even further when it comes to carbon storage.In an interesting side benefit, the solid carbon also works as an electrode(焊条), which opens up a world of possibilities. "A side benefit of the process is that the carbon can hold electrical charge, becoming a super battery, so it could potentially be used as a part in future vehicles," explains Dr. Dorna Estrafilzadeh, a researcher. "The process also produces fuel as a by-product, which could also have industrial applications."(1)What can we know about the previous carbon capture methods?A. People have to inject liquid to the gas.B. The previous methods can be done easily.C. The previous methods are not very popular.D. People have widely accepted previous methods.(2)What is the special part of the new method?A. It needs electricity to make the process efficient.B. It can be done in any kind of container.C. It doesn't need extreme temperature.D. It can produce much solid carbon.(3)What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The method will make fossil oil disappear.B. The method will influence the future industry.C. The method will make developed countries more powerful.D. The method will be used to make new vehicles.(4)What is the best title for the passage?A. How to change carbon into CO2.B. A new carbon capture technology.C. A new technology to get useful carbon.D. Australia makes the world cleaner than before.【答案】(1)C(2)C(3)B(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一种新的碳捕获技术的原理,优点和对未来工业的影响。

高中英语阅读理解专题训练1【The spider】In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The ―spider story‖ is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web(蜘蛛织网). The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times without success. On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English… Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time?Second, is the goal(目标)you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about his question, “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?”This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing anyway.The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to ―live with yourself‖ even though you may have failed. Remember, ―You can't win them all.‖1.This passage deals with two sides of failure. In paragraph 1,the author talks mainly about ______ .A.the value of failurB.how people would failC.famous failuresD.the cause of failure2.The underlined phrase“made it”means ______ .A.succeededB.failedC.gaveD.got3.The lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce seems ______ .A.productiveB.straight forwardC.sorrowfulD.deep4.The author tells you to do all things except ______ .A.The think about the cause of your failureB.to check out whether your goals are right for youC.to consider failure as a part or lifeD.to bear in mind that you will never fail in your life5.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Bruce and Edison were successful examples.B.Failure may be regarded as a way toward success.C.Edison learned a lot from the lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce.D.One may often raise a question whether his goals are worth attempting.答案:AADDC。

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇It’s hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool’s Day. On April 1 each year, people play tricks on each other. These tricks are usually silly rather than mean. Classmates sometimes tie each other’s shoelaces to their chairs. Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that scares students before they realise it’s only a joke. Newspapers announce fake contests (such as “Win an elephant!”) and report on fake stories (like “UFO” lands in New York City).Forget gifts, songs and special foods-those are for the other holidays of the year. On April Fool’s Day, the only tradition is to laugh (and maybe to cause a little bit of trouble).One April Fool’s Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a very clever and funny trick on the teachers. They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria. The chickens ran all round the school, in and out of classrooms and under our feet. Feathers were flying everywhere.Teachers began running after the chickens, trying to catch them. Finally, they caught four of them. But the chickens were wearing numbered tags around their necks, and the teachers discovered that they had only caught chickens NO. 1, 2, 3, and 5. Where was chicken No. 4?The te achers looked and looked. They couldn’t find another chicken. After a few hours, they realised that the students had played another joke on them: There were only four chickens in the first place! They’d been tricked by the numbers on the chickens.It’s been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool’s Day remains one of my favourite memories from those years.1.What can we infer from the first paragraph on April Fool’s Day?A.Everyone is hard to avoid being fooled on April Fool’s Day.B.Students play jokes on teachers on April Fool’s Day.C.Teachers play tricks on students on April Fool’s Day.D.Newspapers often cheat people.2.Why did students set chickens free?A.They wanted to let chickens free. B.They wanted to let chickens run all round the school.C.They wanted to see feathers flying. D.They wanted to play a trick on the teachers. 3.How many jokes did the students play on the teachers?A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.【答案】1.A2.D3.B【分析】这是一篇记叙文。

高中阅读理解专项训练附答案解析1篇If you are planning on travelling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.First of all, always check and double-check departure (启程) time. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten, my secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have some local cash with you when you arrive in a country. Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen!

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。

From good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, e xperience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our atten tion so completely that for the time being we forget our surrou ndings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of th e greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment whe n we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact w ith good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and sati sfaction.With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely. Whe ther the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are pu rely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends . In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the goo d of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends who m we hold or because they present unfamiliar types whom w e are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human frie nds sometimes may bore us, but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. By turning the pag e we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feeling s. When human friends desert us, good books are always rea dy to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement. One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. F ew of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of exp eriences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way; no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train to transport us; no passport to enter the land of our heart's desire.Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. We can climb lofty mountains, brave the peril s of an Antarctic winter, or cross the scorching sands of the d esert, all without hardship. In books we may visit the studios o f Hollywood; we may mingle with the gay throngs of the Paris boulevards; we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpin e village or the kindly natives on a island. Indeed, through bo oks the whole world is ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties ofnature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the trium phs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.16. Why is it that we sometimes forget our surroundings and e ven our identity while reading?A. No one has come to disturb you.B. Everything is so quiet a nd calm around you.C. The book you are reading is so interesting and attractive.D. Your book is overdue; you are finishing it at a very fast spe ed.17. How would you account for the fact that people like their a cquaintances in books even more?A. They resemble human friends exactly.B. They are u nfamiliar types we like.C. They never desert us.D. They never hurt our feelings.18. Which of the following is true?A. Your wish to visit some far-off place can be realized through the pages of the books.B. To escape from the dull realities of everyday life you shoul d take up reading.C. Books can always help you to live a colourful life.D. You may obtain valuable experience from reading good bo oks.19. The word “weary” means ______.A. “to attract someone’s attention”B. “to distract someone’s attention”C. “to make someone very tired”D. “to make someone interested”20. “... the whole world is ours for the asking” implies that ___ _________.A. in books the world is more accessible to usB. we can ask to go anywhere in the worldC. we can make a claim to everything in this worldD. we can make a round-the-world trip free of charge(D)本书主要讲读好书的益处。

Until recently, I was not a "real" stepmother either. But I have been living with the man who is now my husband, Bernardo for 10 years and in those 10 years, not only have his younger daughters spent every other weekend and half of their school holiday with us but also his son has lived with us full-time. In fact, when Bernardo asked me to move in, he asked his son for permission first.Being a step mum is hard enough but being a sort-of-step-mother is about the most awkward position a mature woman can find herself in. With my sort-of-steppies, I have occupied a place of influence, power and sometimes extreme anger by turns. I have stepped on a delicate path between being a grown-up friend, a bridge of influence with their father, the woman of the house, and a figure of authority – but not too much.Love the kids or hate them, you must always remember that no matter how much you cook, clean, hug, comfort and discipline, you will never actually count.To survive, I trained myself to love the stepkids as hard as I could, but not to care. It's a handy piece of good mental health trickery I recommend to anyone in my position. I can help with homework, yes, but not bother about the results of that homework. I can teach them good manners, but not care about the bad habits they learn at home. Semi-detached is the position.(1)Which of the following is true about Bernardo?A. Bernardo seldom cares about the kids.B. Bernardo dislikes living with his kids.C. Bernardo respects the opinion of his kids.D. Bernardo doesn't recognize his wife as a "real" stepmother.(2)What does the author think of her role in the family?A. She was totally favored by the kids.B. She has acted as an enemy of the kids.C. She didn't have any influence in the family.D. She was the communication bridge between kids and their father.(3)What's the author's advice for stepmothers in the last paragraph?A. Be partly engaged in kids' life.B. Care little about kids' behavior.C. Seldom get involved in kids' homework.D. Become the absolute authority of the family.【答案】(1)C(2)D(3)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了作为一个继母应该如何与孩子相处才是一个适当的度。

Then yoga may be the perfect choice for you. Yoga can be practiced by people of all ages and levels of fitness.6.It's a great way to strengthen your muscles and become more flexible.In the 1930s, Indian Sri Tirumali and K. Pattabhi developed one of the most popular forms of yoga practised worldwide today. They worked together using an ancient Sansknt text called Yoga Korunta to create a set routine of yoga movements and breathing exercises. 7.Ashtanga is different from other forms of yoga. It is a very powerful form of aerobic (有氧的)exercise which creates deep heat in the body. 8.In other forms of yoga, however, the routine can change each time and the stretching exercises aren't aerobic.9.As well as making you stronger and more flexible, it can also help you to stay calm. By focusing on your breathing while doing physical exercise, you are able to get a balance between mind and body.

But while the exact origins of puppet theatre are unknown, it has been popular in many cultures and may have been the very first kind of theatre,” he explains.Roberts’ shows are highly original. “A puppet show can involve a nything from clowning(傻逗) to storytelling,” he says. Equally diverse are the audiences he performs for. “Some are attracted by the puppets themselves, while others enjoy the dialogue.” Roberts believes that this form of entertainment can be appreciated by people of all ages and cultures.Roberts’ interest in puppets started when he received some beautiful glove puppets one Christmas. He started putting on shows with these for family and friends and then moved on to handmade Chinese string puppets. Learning mostly from books and personal experience, he explains, “I was already spending most of my free time carving puppets and putting on shows, so I hardly noticed the change from students to full-time professional puppeteer.”The puppets are designed specifically for each show, which is extremely time consuming. According to Roberts, “Sometimes what you expect and what you actually create in the end are two very different things. I’ve made some of my best puppets ‘accidentally’.”When most people hear the word “puppetry”, they more than likely think of a way of keeping children entertained at birthday parties. Certainly the subject matter will be expected to belight-hearted rather than serious. However, Roberts wants to point out that puppets convey serious messages sometimes.” he says.11.What do we know about puppetry in the first paragraph?A.It is a most popular form of entertainment.B.It cannot give people pleasure any more.C.It was first brought to life by Peter Roberts.D.Its value as an art form is not fully recognized.12.In Roberts’ eyes, his puppet shows .A.usually attract people full of humorB.are most something for old aged audienceC.display something meaningful for different peopleD.involve hard work and great intelligence13.Roberts developed an interest in puppets because of .A.the puppet show books B.his university majorC.a Christmas gift D.some Chinese string puppets14.What does Roberts want people to think of puppet theatre?A.It is just a kind of entertainment for kids.B.It can be educational as well as entertaining.C.It is only a kind of serious art form.D.It should be kept light-hearted.A family is a collection of people who share the same genes but cannot agree on a place to pull over for lunch. Ed and I, plus his parents and sister Doris and eight-year-old niece Alisha, are on a road trip to Yosemite. Ed wants Subway, I want. In-N-Out Burger, Doris wants Sonic. In the end, we compromise on McDonald’s, where Alisha will get an action figure.It’s a three-hour drive to Yosemite, bu t we’re taking a little longer, as we’re working in a tour of Highway 80’s public restrooms. As the saying goes, “Not one bladder(膀胱)empties but another fills.” Many of these restrooms belong to gas stations. I prefer them to the high-tech ones on planes.We get back on the road. Ed is driving now. When all the tabloids(小报)have been read, the travel has grown tedious and anyone unde r age 12 asks “Are we there yet?” at ever-shortening internals. Just outside Manteca, California, we stop for coffee. At a Starbucks checkout, Ed buys a CD of Joni Mitchell’s favorite musical picks. The hope is that it will have a calming effect.As we pull back onto the highway, it starts to pour. Then something amazing happens. As we climb the mountain, the rain turns to snow. The pines are spotted with white. We’re struck dumb(说不出话)by the scene outside. For a solid 15 minutes, everyone forgets about their bladder, their blood sugar and the temperature. Alisha has never seen snow, so we pull over to make snowmen and catch snowflakes on our tongues. Then Ed realizes we need tire chains, and we have to turn back and drive 30miles to Oakhurst. “Good,” says Doris. “There was a very nice restroom there.”15.Where does the family have lunch?A.At Sonic.B.At Subway.C.At McDonald’s.D.At In-N-Out Burger.16.Why does the family spend so much time going to Yosemite?A.They stop a few times for gas.B.They go to the toilet frequently.C.They are affected by the bad weather.D.They need to rest and refresh themselves. 17.What does the underlined word “tedious” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Boring B.Difficult.C.Educational.D.Comfortable.18.How does the family feel when it snows?A.Sorry.B.Excited.C.Worried.D.Relaxed.As we know, at present many students in many countries including China are learning English. Some of these students are small children. Others are teenagers. Many are adults. Some learn at school, others by themselves. A few learn English by learning the language over the radio, on TV, or in film. One must work hard to learn another language besides one’s native langu age.Why do all these people want to learn English? It is difficult to answer this question. Many boys and girls learn English at school because it is one of their subjects required for study. They study their own language and maths and English: Some people learn it because it is useful for their work. Many people learn English for their work. Many people learn English for their higher studies, because at college or university some of their books are in English. Other people learn English because they want to read newspapers or magazines in English.Therefore, as a middle school student, you must work harder at English. It is a good habit to read English aloud and practise speaking English every day. It is important to learn some useful expressions by heart. If you have a good knowledge of English, you will get a good future. 19.People learn English_________.A.not all in the same way B.over the radioC.on TV D.at school20.From this passage we know that_________.A.we can learn English easilyB.English is very difficult to learnC.English is learned by all the people in the worldD.English is a useful language, so one must work hard to learn it21.Which of the following is right?A.We don’t need to learn any foreign languages.B.We can do well in all our work without English.C.English is the most important subject in schools.D.We should learn English because we need to face the world.Recently, as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his school team, I was feeling sorry for myself and for him. His team was facing adversity(困境) on the court, trailing for three quarters of the game. As for me, I had just been dismissed from my job.As I watched what my son was experiencing, I recalled the events earlier in the day—packing up everything in a box and saying goodbye to my colleagues. During the drive home, I kept telling myself that I will find work again—I am confident in my experience and abilities, but self-doubt was still sticking its foot in the door.The game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan’s team still trailing. I saw the determination on his back to not only tie the game, but then go ahead by three points. Then, a player from the other team made an unbelievable shot to tie the game up again. With a tie game and seconds on the clock, Nathan found himself with the ball and with skill and confidence, he made the basket with a defender hanging all over him. The other player was called for a foul(犯规).As Nathan stood preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points, I saw the focus and determination on his face, with no room for self-doubt. After he made the free throw, his team managed to stop the other team from scoring, winning the game and moving on to the finals.As I sat there, my heart bursting with pride, it dawned on me. I had taught him perseverance(毅力) in the face of adversity, and he had just taught me the same lesson. That brief moment ofself-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was blown away by the actions of my son on the basketball court. He will play in the finals, but it doesn’t matter if he w ins or loses. At this moment, we both won.22.We can learn from the text that ________.A.I lost my job for lack of experience and abilities.B.Nathans team won a narrow victory in the basketball game.C.I was proud of Nathan because he won the game in the finals.D.Nathan had never doubted himself whenever he was in trouble.23.The underlined word “trailing” in the first paragraph probably means ________.A.losing B.falling behindC.being defeated D.winning24.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.My son would win in the finals and I would find a job soon.B.I had once taught my son face to face that we should never give up.C.It was my encouragement and help that made my son win the game.D.I would become more confident about my future after this experience.25.What is the best title for the text?A.An Inspiring Game B.A Moment of Self-doubtC.Lesson from My Son D.An Unforgettable ExperienceUniversity Room RegulationsApproved and Prohibited ItemsThe following items are approved for use in residential(住宿的)rooms: electric blankets, hair dryers, personal computers, radios, televisions and DVD players.

Whatever you think about London, visiting as a tourist is very different from living there. Each part of London has its own character. Some parts are richer than others, or more industrial, or have better housing.Let’s start with the centre, the “Square Mile”. This is the oldest part of London. In the past, it was where all financial business was done. Not many people live here, but 300,000 people work here every day.Moving west, we come to the West End. This busy shopping and entertainment district is bursting with things to do. Take a walk down Oxford Street, and you will see big department stores like Selfridges and Harrods. Rents here are very high; a one-bedroom apartment may cost around 1,000 pounds a week. Further away is West London. This area is more residential(住宅的)and very fashionable.The East End contains the Port of London, which historically is where many immigrants first arrived. Waves of French, Belgians, Jews, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis have all lived here. This makes the culture of this area very various. London won the bid to hold the Olympics in 2012, so many Londoners hope that housing, education and employment for many people in this area will improve.It is difficult to be general about London. The city is made up of a " collection of villages”, each area with its own character and community. Put them all together, and you have London, an international capital.36.Which of the following descriptions about Square Mile is NOT true?A.It is the oldest part of London.B.It is the center of London.C.All financial business was once done there.D.300, 000 people live there.37.Tom, an American, wants to go shopping in London. He had better go to .A.the East End B.the West EndC.the Port of London D.the Square Mile38.According to the passage, Harrods is .A.a department store B.a residential areaC.a famous square D.a small village39.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A.The East End is richer than other parts of London.B.There must be many ships in the East End.C.People living in the East End have good housing.D.Most Londoners are satisfied with their government.Competitive eating has become big business. The International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE) holds events for competitive eating all around the world. One of the most popular contests (竞赛) is held every 4th of July on Coney Island in New York. Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest started in 1916 and the event has been dominated (占据优势) by Takeru Kobayashi. The Japanese competitor set his first record in 2001, when he ate 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes and has won the contest six years in a row.The main types of food eaten in the contests are fast food. Hot dogs, chicken wings, pickles, corndogs and pizza are main foods of the contests. The contests usually last from around 8 to 12 minutes. Now most of the competitors are men, but there are also women who take part in competitive eating.Being large and overweight isn’t necessarily an advantage in competitive eating. The biggest advantage a competitor can have is the ability to actually stretch (扩张) their stomach. Many competitors will drink plenty of water over a period of time in order to achieve this. Apart from having an unusually stretchable stomach, another important thing seems to be hand to mouth speed.The IFOCE has very strict safety guidelines laid out regarding competitive eating. Competitions must take place in a controlled area and only competitors over the age of 18 are allowed to enter. They also advise against any type of home training. There has been much talk regarding the inclusion of competitive eating as an Olympic sport. Although the IFOCE has talkedabout that with the Olympic committee, it seems that they will not agree to it at present. 40.Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest _____.A.has a history of over 200 yearsB.takes place once a year in JapanC.is becoming less popular than beforeD.has made Takeru Kobayashi famous41.What do we know about eating contests?A.Fast food is the only type of food.B.They usually last ten minutes or so.C.Only men are allowed to enter a contest.D.They are open to competitors of all ages.42.What is the third paragraph mainly about?A.How to win an eating contest.B.The history of competitive eating.C.Safety guidelines from the IFOCE.D.The disadvantages of eating too much.43.What’s the main purpos e of the text?A.To report.B.To advertise.C.To introduce.D.To warn.The year before the first modern Olympic Games,Greece invited China to send a team.But the Qing government(政府)didn’t send any athletes to the Games.China did not take part in the Olympics until the 10th Games,held in Los Angeles in 1932.There,Liu Changchun took part in the men’s 100­metre and 200­metre races.He did not win any medals.China won her first gold medal at the 23rd Olympics in Los Angeles in 1984,when Xu Haifeng won the men’s free shooting event.China came in fourth with 15 gold medals in all.At the 2000 Olympics in Sydney,Australia,China won 28 gold medals,entering the top three of the medal chart for the first time.September 22nd,2000 was named China Day because China won six gold,three silver and one bronze medals that day.In 2004,the 28th Olympic Games were held in Athens,Greece.Two hundred and two countries took part in the Games.China got the second place with thirty-two gold,seventeen silver andfourteen bronze medals.We all know that in 2008,the Olympic Games were held in Beijing,where China won the first place.44.When was China first invited to the Olympics?A.In Tang Dynasty(朝代).B.In Song Dynasty.C.In Ming Dynasty.D.In Qing Dynasty.45.Which Olympics did China take part in?A.The tenth Olympics.B.The eighth Olympics.C.The fifth Olympics.D.The first Olympics.46.Who won the first gold medal for China in the Olympics?A.Liu Changchun.B.Xu Haifeng.C.Zhuang Yong.D.Liu Xiang.47.How many medals did China win at the 28th Olympics?A.Thirty-two.B.Seventeen.C.Fourteen.D.Sixty-three.48.In 2008 China hosted________Olympic Games.A.the 28th Winter B.the 28th SummerC.the 29th Winter D.the 29th SummerForeign visitors to the UK might be disappointed when they learn that not everyone there speaks like Harry Potter and his friends. Usually, there’s an assumption by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with what’s known as a Received Pronunciation (RP, 标准发音) accent, also called “the Queen’s English”. However, while many people do talk this way, most Britons speak in their own regional accents.Scouse, Glaswegian and Black Country – from Liverpool, Glasgow and the West Midlands – are just three of the countless non-RP accents that British people speak with. There are even differences in accents between towns or cities just 30 kilometers apart. What is even more disappointing is that not speaking in a RP accent may mean a British person is judged and even treated differently in their everyday life.In a 2015 study by The University of South Wales, videos of people reading a passage in three。

高中英语阅读理解练习题(有答案)doc(1)

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【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,美国科学家发明了新的二维晶体管,介绍了新型二维晶体管的相关信息及未来前景。

高中英语阅读理解专题训练(广东专版 每篇5小题)(第1套)第一节:阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A(words:364&192)People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking. They try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot read it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find out the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gearscarefully.After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short , he has solved the problem.41. What is the best title for this passage?A. Six Stages for Repairing Sam’s BicycleB. Possible Ways to Problem-solvingC. Necessities of Problem AnalysisD. Suggestions for Analyzing a Problem42. In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except .A. recognize and define the problemB. look for information to make the problem clearerC. have suggestions for a possible solutionD. find a solution by trial or mistake43. By referring to Sam’s broken bicycle, the author intends to _________.A. illustrate the ways to repair his bicycleB. discuss the problems of his bicycleC. tell us how to solve a problemD. show us how to analyze a problem44. Which of the following is NOT true?A. People do not analyze the problem they meet.B. People often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.C. People may learn from their past experience.D. People can not solve some problems they meet.45. As used in the last sentence, the phrase “in short” means _________.A. in the long runB. in detailC. in a wordD. in the end 【答案与解析】 41—45 BDCAC本文讲的是一般情况下人们的思维方式,很少有人分析他们所遇到的问题,而是试图记住“问题的答案”,进而举例说明解决问题的过程:首先要认识到有问题,接下来对问题进行归类,而且对问题进行研究、找出问题产生的原因。

B(words:400&235)Turning on the TV, a wonderful scene comes to your eyes — a group of men, tall, strong and handsome, and women, young, beautiful and attractive, too. Together they eat in the finest restaurants, traveling everywhere around the world by luxurious planes and pleasure ships. They are models.Do you envy them? What sort of life are models leading? Is it a wonderful life for a young lady or a young man?A few models are well-known actors or actresses who can make a lot of money only by showing themselves off in commercials. But the majority of them are just curious to see what it is like. They’d like to be models just because they are attracted by what they imagine — models earn a lot of money and lead a glorious life. This is true for those who are very successful. However, most models find it difficult to get work. Very few can earn enough to live on, and for all models their expenses are high. Their agents claim about 20% of the earnings, and no model will get very far without a clever agent. Besides, they have to buy good clothing. They also have to pay to travel to interviews and reach the places where the work is to be done.Interviews for a model job are known as cattle-markets in the modeling world, and not without a good reason. A top model can choose his or her work, demand and receive high fees and has his or her expenses paid. But for most models, the situation is quite different. And agent or employer inspects each model much as a farmer inspects cattle at a market. Intelligence, qualifications and personal characteristics count for little against good looks and tight figures. For all except the very few lucky ones, the life of a model is a continual search for work, trying to sell himself or herself in the face of fierce competition and, sometimes, not particularly moral standards on the part of some employers.Immigration officials at airport look suspiciously at a girl whose passport shows her occupation as “Model”, and these are men and women of considerable experience of the world. It comes no surprise to find that some models prefer to put “Secretary” or “Businessman” as their jobs in their passports.Modeling is a changeable world with great rewards for a tiny minority butnot for the majority.For models, their good looks and tight figures are _____________, compared with their intelligence and qualifications.A. more importantB. less neededC. less essentialD. more looked down upon47. Which of the following can lead you to believe according to thepassage?A. A model’s traveling expenses are usually paid by his employer.B. To be a model, good looks are the most important qualification.C. Most models have a fairly easy way of life with high pay.D. A model can hardly be successful without a good agent.48. Models often put “Secretary” or “Businessman” instead of “Model” in theirpassports because __________________.A. they want to avoid being stopped to sign their names by fansB. a person with the occupation of a model is easily attacked by blacksocietiesC. models are sometimes looked down uponD. secretaries and businessmen are free of custom duty49. What may be the author’s attitude towards modeling?A. It is a worthwhile life for a young lady or a young man.B. He is in favor of young people to try modeling.C. Before being crazy about a model job, young people should beaware of the difficulties.D. It is a field in which everyone has a great chance to succeed.50. The underlined word “suspiciously” can most probably be replaced by_________________.A. doubtfullyB. excitedlyC. proudlyD. sadly【答案与解析】46—50 ADCCA本文作者认为虽然模特职业是很风光,但不是每一个模特都能成功的,模特这个职业有时会被人瞧不起。
