高一英语上学期阅读理解20篇（一）一As a student, you must be excited to know something about American school students. In fact, just like in China, in the United States, high school is usually divided into two periods, the first two or three years are called “junior high school” and the other is “senior high school”.In China, children enjoy free education of nine years, but in the United States, the students enjoy free education until they are 18 years old. As a result of the free education system (制度), American children have little difficulty in going to senior high school.American high school students can take part in a lot of activities outside of the classroom. The activities are organized by the school, such as joining a music group or a sports team. Certainly, just like us students in China, American students have to work hard in order to get good marks if they want to go to a good university. They take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high school period. And those who come out with low marks at the end of a school year and who should repeat a grade are often allowed to go on to the next grade.In American high schools, there is fighting or hurting or other kinds of bad behaviors. So children who want to go to university are often sent to suburban (郊区的) high schools, where most students want to go to university and the atmosphere (氛围) is quite different.1. Activities outside of the classroom refer to __________.A. what the students do after class in schoolB. what the students learn in extra classesC. what a music group or a sports team doD. what the teachers do after class for the students2. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The time of free education in China is longer than that in America.B. Those who get good marks can go to a good university.C. American students can take all kinds of subjects during the high school period.D. They can be allowed to join the next grade even if they fail the school-year exam.3. The writer of the passage tells us the truth that ________.A. the atmosphere in high schools is quite different from that in a universityB. none of the schools in cities are good for learningC. suburban high schools are good places for learningD. all the American students want to go to university二Americans can travel almost anywhere they choose. But to protect its people, the government lists a few dangerous places where Americans cannot go. These places are unfriendly countries or countries at war. There, the traveller might not be safe. These countries are listed in a small book called a passport. This passport is a government request(要求) for the safety of its travelling people. It is also a government' s pledge (保证) that the people will obey the rules of the host country. To receive a passport from the government, a traveller must prove(证明) that he is an American citizen. An American can not go abroad without a passport. Only some close countries such as Canada and Mexico do not ask for passports. Inside the passport is the traveller's picture. Children travelling with their parents are included(包含) in one parent's book. Thousands of people from the United States visit other countries every year. An American traveller might carry plane tickets, money, clothing and many other things, but the most important that he carries inanother country is his passport.1. A passport is not needed when an American goes to .A. foreign countriesB. dangerous areasC. Canada or MexicoD. foreign countries2.

The first period begins right after you are born and lasts until you are about six months old. The second period starts when you reach the age of 13. First, girls grow faster than boys, then boys catch up and grow faster and stronger.Your head stops growing earlier than the rest of you. By the time you are ten, your head is nearly full size. The bones of your arms and legs are short when you are a baby. When you reach the age of nine, your bones starts to grow rapidly, and will keep growing until you reach your full height (高度).Besides growing taller, your body changes in other ways. When a boy is about 13 years old, his voice begins to get deeper and he may begin to grow a beard (胡子). At about the age of 13, a girl’s body begins to function (运行) like a woman’s. Some important changes are taking place, changes that makes it possible for boys and girls, when they are older, to become fathers and mothers.1.

I do not want to bring my friends home becauseshe does not act like any of the other mothers. She says I am a loser because I sit at home andstudy. I wish I could live in another family that was normal, but it will be 5 years before I am 18.What am I supposed to do until then?Prisoner of a CrazyHouseDear 7th Grader,I am glad that you love your mother because the rest of your feelings about her may change asyou get older and mature.While it is true that your mother’s smoking, partying and cursing bring you shame, the factthat you want to stay separate from her doings is notable and very smart. It shows that you are awinner, not a loser. I am guessing, therefore, that you do not bring shame to yourself, and that is agood thing. So, keep it that way and keep away from your mother’s habits.At the same time, try to get the best grades and join clubs and school activities.

That wasa typical (典型的) British Sunday in the 1960s. But things now could not be more different.Some British sociologists recently studied the typical British Sunday. They found that people getup later and do less housework than they did 40 years ago. They are far more likely to be outshopping or enjoying themselves than cooking Sunday lunch.Sunday mornings were busy 40 years ago. Most women caught up on their weekly housework andcooked a nice lunch. They seldom allowed themselves any “leisure” until afternoon, after the dishes were cleaned. Then there would be another rush to the table between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pmfor tea.But now, Britons can have brunch (早午餐) at the restaurant. Fewer people bother to cookthemselves.“You only have two free days a week. You don’t want to have to waste one because there isnothing to do but watch boring TV,” said Elizabeth Biggs, 25, a producer in London.“On Saturday you are recovering from the week,” Biggs added. “Sundays are the last chance for the weekend — you want to get as much as you can out of the day before you have to go back towork.”In the past, British women usually did their shopping during the week, while the husband was atwork. “Now men seem to do that as much as women,” said Jonathan Gershuny, a professor whotook part in the study.Men also do more housework now on Sundays. Back in the 1960s, men were far more likely tospend Sundays out of the house — at the pub or playing football — before lunch.1. Many Britons have brunch at the restaurant because _______.A. They have no time to cook at home.B. They get up too late.C. They won’t bother to cook themselves.D. They will go to church.2. Which of the following is NOT true?A.

The text mainly tells us ________.A. what Britons did on SundaysB. why Britons go shopping on SundaysC. how Britons spend their holidaysD. the changes of the ways the Britons spend their Sundays4. What can we infer from the passage?A. Men do more housework on Sundays.B. Sundays in Britain might be very boring in the past.C. No people go to church on Sundays now.D. Britons all go out on Sundays.八Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us somequestions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask for your opinions of the work of the class. Whenyou are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that theymust be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation orhaving a chat with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of peoplewill remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hearyou—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professorof your school or a government official who might meet you.

English speakers are always creating new words and we are often able to know where mostwords come from.Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever thinkabout why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham?About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big cityin Germany called Hamburg. They didn’t speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round piece of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. TheGermans didn’t understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round piece of bread and startedselling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today, “hamburgers” are sold in m countries around the world.Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certainmeaning is interesting, too.

He liked to say that nothing surprised him.One day he was sitting at the bar in his restaurant when a big gorilla walked in and asked for atable.Henry showed no surprise. He took the gorilla to a table and handed him a menu.

He could face a jail term of between five andtwenty-five years without the option (选择) of a fine.”Security precautions (安全措施) were taken against the man — a resident from the wealthy (富有) Johannesburg suburb of Sandown —on the flight.s bags.Airline people didn’t find any explosives or weapons in hi“Security measures at airport and on plane have been intensified（加强）immediately after the recent horrific and tragic terror（恐怖）attacks in America,” a police statement said.

For some time, the Internet seems like a forest, filled with dangers for children. But forests have wonders as well as dangers, and with good guides, some education and a few precautions(预防措施) ,the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated(航行). "Children have to be on-line. If we tell our children they can' t have chances to the Internet, we' re cutting them off from their future," said an expert.Most children have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding lots ofinteresting Internet sites and they can also go to places where you might not want them to go.There are such engines made just for children. A certain software (软件) contains only sites thathave been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit chances would be to use what is knownBut this can't be wholly safe, and the best thing parents can do isas a "content screener(过滤器)”．to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Anotherway is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.A few other tips:1) Don' t put the PC in a child's room, but keep it in a place where mum or dad can keep an eye onthings. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.2) Ask your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like addressand phone number.3) Tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send themanything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.1. What is the main subject about the passage?A. Fighting against children on-line.B. Internet in America.C. American children going on-line.D. Children's web sites.2. According to the passage, we can infer thatA. the writer doesn't encourage children to surf the InternetB. the Internet has a lot of harmful sitesC. the Internet is a forest full of dangersD. a child who is on-line is in danger3. What does the passage tell us most?A. EducationB. Good guidesC. PrecautionsD. Software十三Many people will remember the flight of the space shuttle（航天飞机）Challenger, in June, 1993.The achievement of Sally Ride, America’s first woman astronaut to fly into space, made this flight especially memorable. Students from two high schools in Camden, New Jersey, however, arelikely to remember Norma rather than Sally whenever they think about the flight.（伙伴）along with her. Norma wasNorma didn’t travel along. She brought about 100 companionsan ant, a queen ant who, with her subjects, made up the first ant colony（群体）to travel into space.The ants were part of a science experiment designed by the students to test the effects ofweightlessness on insects.The equipment designed by the students for their colony functioned perfectly through-out the longspace trip. The young scientists and their teachers were very sad to find that their insect astronautshad all died at some point before the container was returned to the school and opened. Theproblem did not occur in space, but on the ground after Challenger had landed. The containerremained in the desert for nearly a week before the ant colony was removed. The hot dry desert air（容器）and the ants died from lack of moisture（水分）.dried out the colony’s containerThe project was termed a success because it did provide useful information. Students will continuetheir efforts to find out exactly what went wrong. They will try to prevent the same difficultiesfrom recurring on future missions. They don’t want to be discouraged either by the death of the ants or by the $10,000 shuttle fare they will have to pay to send the next colony of ants into space.1.

Finally they took Tommy to acatholic(天主教的) school.After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello.

Then the fairy disappeared.As the little girl grew up，there was no one in the land as happy as she. Everyone asked her secret of happiness .She would only smile and answer，“The secret of my happiness is that I listened to a good fairy when I was a little girl.”When she was very old and on her deathbed，the neighbors all gathered around her，that her unbelievable secret of happiness would die with her. “Tell us，please，”they begged，“Tell us what the good fairy said.”The lovely old woman simply smiled and said，“She told me that everyone，no matter how secure they seemed，no matter how old or young，how rich or poor，had need of me.”56. ______ the girl felt sad and lonely.A.

This Christian holiday is not on the same date every year，but it‘s always on a Sunday. It can be any Sunday between March 22 and April 25. Many people celebrate Easter by buying new clothes. Children celebrate by hunting for colored eggs that their parents have hidden around the house. People also give Easter baskets filled with candy and other goodies to one another to celebrate the day.But the holiday is more than new clothes and good things to eat. On Easter，many people go to church to celebrate Jesus‘resurrection （复活）from the dead.Most people color them. Some people hide them. Others just eat them. But no matter what one does with Easter eggs，they are an important Easter tradition throughout the Western world.People from many different cultures celebrate Easter. In both America and Belgium，children look for Easter eggs hidden on lawns and in bushes. In America，children believe the eggs are hidden by the Easter bunny （复活节兔子）。

It was five to twelve when Mr. Hunt decided to go to the town andsee what was happening with the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they were all drunk. Of course they found the officer was angry.。

高一英语上学期阅读理解20篇(一)
高一英语上学期阅读理解20篇（一）一As a student, you must be excited to know something about American school students. In fact, just like in China, in the United States, high school is usually divided into two periods, the first two or three years are called “junior high school” and the other is “senior high school”.In China, children enjoy free education of nine years, but in the United States, the students enjoy free education until they are 18 years old. As a result of the free education system (制度), American children have little difficulty in going to senior high school.American high school students can take part in a lot of activities outside of the classroom. The activities are organized by the school, such as joining a music group or a sports team. Certainly, just like us students in China, American students have to work hard in order to get good marks if they want to go to a good university. They take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high school period. And those who come out with low marks at the end of a school year and who should repeat a grade are often allowed to go on to the next grade.In American high schools, there is fighting or hurting or other kinds of bad behaviors. So children who want to go to university are often sent to suburban (郊区的) high schools, where most students want to go to university and the atmosphere (氛围) is quite different.1. Activities outside of the classroom refer to __________.A. what the students do after class in schoolB. what the students learn in extra classesC. what a music group or a sports team doD. what the teachers do after class for the students2. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The time of free education in China is longer than that in America.B. Those who get good marks can go to a good university.C. American students can take all kinds of subjects during the high school period.D. They can be allowed to join the next grade even if they fail the school-year exam.3. The writer of the passage tells us the truth that ________.A. the atmosphere in high schools is quite different from that in a universityB. none of the schools in cities are good for learningC. suburban high schools are good places for learningD. all the American students want to go to university二Americans can travel almost anywhere they choose. But to protect its people, the government lists a few dangerous places where Americans cannot go. These places are unfriendly countries or countries at war. There, the traveller might not be safe. These countries are listed in a small book called a passport. This passport is a government request(要求) for the safety of its travelling people. It is also a government' s pledge (保证) that the people will obey the rules of the host country. To receive a passport from the government, a traveller must prove(证明) that he is an American citizen. An American can not go abroad without a passport. Only some close countries such as Canada and Mexico do not ask for passports. Inside the passport is the traveller's picture. Children travelling with their parents are included(包含) in one parent's book. Thousands of people from the United States visit other countries every year. An American traveller might carry plane tickets, money, clothing and many other things, but the most important that he carries inanother country is his passport.1. A passport is not needed when an American goes to .A. foreign countriesB. dangerous areasC. Canada or MexicoD. foreign countries2. From the passage we can see thatA. children can' t travel to foreign countriesB. Americans like travellingC. a traveller is not safe in most countriesD. Americans like to travel to close countries3. Which statement does the passage lead you to believe?A. People should take care of their passports.B. It is not important to have a passport to travel.C. Children are never included in a passport.D. When you are in another country, money is more important than a passport.4. Which of the following statements is true?A.When Americans are travelling in another country, they must obey the rules of the country.B. The American government sometimes allow its people to travel to dangerous places.C. A passport is needed wherever an American is travelling.D. A passport only helps the traveller to know where he will go.三It takes many years for you to grow up. There are two periods in your life when you grow rapidly. The first period begins right after you are born and lasts until you are about six months old. The second period starts when you reach the age of 13. First, girls grow faster than boys, then boys catch up and grow faster and stronger.Your head stops growing earlier than the rest of you. By the time you are ten, your head is nearly full size. The bones of your arms and legs are short when you are a baby. When you reach the age of nine, your bones starts to grow rapidly, and will keep growing until you reach your full height (高度).Besides growing taller, your body changes in other ways. When a boy is about 13 years old, his voice begins to get deeper and he may begin to grow a beard (胡子). At about the age of 13, a girl’s body begins to function (运行) like a woman’s. Some important changes are taking place, changes that makes it possible for boys and girls, when they are older, to become fathers and mothers.1. The first period in your life when you grow very rapidly ____________________.A. lasts about thirteen yearsB. lasts about six monthsC. doesn’t begin until you are about six months oldD. begins when you are six months old2. Your head nearly stop growing __________________.A. when you are bornB. when you are ten years oldC. when you are thirteen years oldD. when you are six months old3.

The meaning of the last sentence is that __________________.A. boys and girls are not sure to become fathers and mothers when they are oldB. it is necessary for boys and girls to become fathers and mothers when they grow upC. boys and girls must have some important changes before they grow upD. it is important that boys and girls should become fathers and mothers when they are older四Just as the sun is starting to shine and the days are getting longer, the examination period begins! I’d like to wish all students the very best luck in your exams and with your dissertations（专题论文）.For those of you who will be leaving us this summer, I hope that you will take with you fond memories of Birmingham and that you keep in touch.If you are staying in Birmingham over the summer, do try to come along to our summer garden party on 18 June.

I do not want to bring my friends home because she does not act like any of the other mothers. She says I am a loser because I sit at home and study. I wish I could live in another family that was normal, but it will be 5 years before I am 18. What am I supposed to do until then?Prisoner of a Crazy HouseDear 7th Grader,I am glad that you love your mother because the rest of your feelings about her may change as you get older and mature.While it is true that your mother’s smoking, partying and cursing bring you shame, the factthat you want to stay separate from her doings is notable and very smart. It shows that you are a winner, not a loser. I am guessing, therefore, that you do not bring shame to yourself, and that is a good thing. So, keep it that way and keep away from your mother’s habits.At the same time, try to get the best grades and join clubs and school activities. Offer social service on weekends and visit your friends at their homes.Fortunately, you are not alone. Many teens live in homes with immature, misguided, selfish parents. But they develop good friendships with nice kids, do well in school, and often find a teacher or guidance advisor who makes all the difference!Do it, Miss Winning 13 years old, and keep looking forward to your own future. Maybe by then your mother may even see the light and realize how good you really are.Michelle1. Michelle doesn’t address her letter receiver as “Prisoner of a Crazy House” possibly because she_________________.A. tries to be politeB. doesn’t write to the kid aloneC. knows that’s a girl in Grade 7D. wants to cheer the kid up2.

You are visiting the Kikuyu tribe.Hear the drums beat! Listen to the flutes! Almost 2,000 Kikuyus are meeting for the most important dance of the year.First, the Kikuyus choose a large, flat place for their dance. For hundreds of years, they have danced on an autumn night when the moon is full. The moon and the flame from small fires light the dancers.Older people watch from the side while young men and women gather at the dancing place. The girls wear leather skirts and tops. The men wear fancy headdresses and carry spears. The dancers' skin and clothes are colored by light red chalk. The chalk and the firelight make the dancers look like statues.The dancers act out stories of good and bad deeds. The dances tell stories of lion hunts and other adventures. In one dance, the girls stand on the boys' feet. The girls are pretending to be afraid of snakes.All night the drums beat and the fires burn. But the dancers never seem to get tired.1.

That was a typical (典型的) British Sunday in the 1960s. But things now could not be more different. Some British sociologists recently studied the typical British Sunday. They found that people get up later and do less housework than they did 40 years ago. They are far more likely to be out shopping or enjoying themselves than cooking Sunday lunch.Sunday mornings were busy 40 years ago. Most women caught up on their weekly housework and cooked a nice lunch. They seldom allowed themselves any “leisure” until afternoon, after the dishes were cleaned. Then there would be another rush to the table between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm for tea.But now, Britons can have brunch (早午餐) at the restaurant. Fewer people bother to cook themselves.“You only have two free days a week. You don’t want to have to waste one because there isnoth ing to do but watch boring TV,” said Elizabeth Biggs, 25, a producer in London.“On Saturday you are recovering from the week,” Biggs added. “Sundays are the last chance for the weekend — you want to get as much as you can out of the day before you have to go back to work.”In the past, British women usually did their shopping during the week, while the husband was at work. “Now men seem to do that as much as women,” said Jonathan Gershuny, a professor who took part in the study.Men also do more housework now on Sundays. Back in the 1960s, men were far more likely to spend Sundays out of the house — at the pub or playing football — before lunch.1. Many Britons have brunch at the restaurant because _______.A. They have no time to cook at home.B. They get up too late.C. They won’t bother to cook themselves.D. They will go to church.2. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Britons used to go to church on Sundays.B. Britons usually had a big lunch at home.C. British women usually did their shopping during the week in the past.D. British men did little housework at home in the past.3. The text mainly tells us ________.A. what Britons did on SundaysB. why Britons go shopping on SundaysC. how Britons spend their holidaysD. the changes of the ways the Britons spend their Sundays4. What can we infer from the passage?A. Men do more housework on Sundays.B. Sundays in Britain might be very boring in the past.C. No people go to church on Sundays now.D. Britons all go out on Sundays.八Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask for your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself. Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease (not worried) but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.1. When you speak to the class, you should speak ________.A. as slowly as possibleB. in a low voiceC. loudlyD. forcefully2. Usually, when you speak to the class, the class is ________.A. noisyB. quietC. having a restD. serious3. The situation in the class is _________that in your house.A. not very different fromB. sometimes the same asC. sometimes not the same asD. not the same as4. If you are having a conversation with an official, the most important thing for you is____.A. to show your abilityB. to be very gentleC. to make sure that you can be heardD. to put the official at ease5. The main idea of this passage is _______.A. that we should talk in different ways in different situationsB. that we must speak loudlyC. that we must keep silent at any timeD. that we must talk with the class九Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating new words and we are often able to know where most words come from.Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They didn’t speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round piece of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans didn’t understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round piece of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today, “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting, too. This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary.1 Hamburg is ____________A. a kind of foodB. a round piece of beefC. the name of a villageD. a city in Germany2. According to the passage, ___________.A. few Americans like hamburgersB. hamburgers are made with beefC. hamburgers are made with hamD. hamburgers were first sold about a century ago3 According to the writer, which of the following can often be found in any large English dictionary?A. Where all the new words come from.B. Where those Germans came from.C. The reason why a word has a certain meaning.D. The reason why English is spoken around the world.4 From the story, we can know that the word “hamburger” comes from ___________.A.China because it has a long historyB. English because Germans don’t speak good EnglishC. The round piece of beef which those people from Hamburg were eatingD. English speakers because they always create new words十For many years Henry had been a journalist. He had worked on many international newspapers and magazines and traveled all over the world.Henry had witnessed wars and natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes and erupting volcanoes (火山爆发) .He had reported on serious accidents such as big fires and airline crashes.He had seen every kind of terrible crime and strange event there was.He had met and written about some of the most unusual people in the world.In f act, there wasn’t much that Henry had not seen or done.Now he retired from journalism(新闻业).

One day he was sitting at the bar in his restaurant when a big gorilla walked in and asked for a table.Henry showed no surprise. He took the gorilla to a table and handed him a menu. He treated him politely and pretended there was nothing at all strange about having a gorilla in his restaurant. The gorilla looked through the menu and ordered a salad.Henry served the gorilla his salad personally, knowing that his waiters and waitresses would be too frightened.At last the gorilla finished his salad and asked for the bill.Henry wrote out the bill and handed it to the big animal.The gorilla studied it, shook his head sadly, then gave Henry fifty dollars.“Thank you”, Henry said, and then to make conversation he added, “We don’t get many gorillas in this restaurant.”“At fifty dollars for a salad,” the gorilla said, “I’m not surprised.”1．What does the underlined word “witness” mean?A. when something happens one sees or notices it on the spotB. to be part ofC. to tell what happensD. to feel unhappy with 2．According to the story, Henry had .A. had the most exciting experiencesB. told the longest storiesC. made historyD. caused accidents3．One day when a gorilla came into the restaurant, Henry was .A. very surprised by the gorillaB. not troubled by the gorillaC. very interested in the gorillaD. scared of the gorilla4．The gorilla was____A. angry with the saladB. still hungry after his saladC. not surprised by the cost of the foodD. surprised by the prices十一U.S.— A South African man could face up to 25 years in prison for joking that he was carrying a bomb on an airline, police said Friday.The 40-year-old man was arrested at Johannesburg airport on Thursday after he told an airhostess on nationwide airliner after take-off from Durban that he had a bomb in his bag.“We don’t take this sort of thing lightly. He could face a jail term of between five andtwenty-five years without the option (选择) of a fine.”Security precautions (安全措施) were taken against the man —a resident from the wealthy (富有) Johannesburg suburb of Sandown —on the flight.Airline people didn’t find any explosives or weapons in hi s bags.“Security measures at airport and on plane have been intensified（加强）immediately after the recent horrific and tragic terror（恐怖）attacks in America,”a police statement said.

For some time, the Internet seems like a forest, filled with dangers for children. But forests have wonders as well as dangers, and with good guides, some education and a few precautions(预防措施) ,the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated(航行). "Children have to be on-line. If we tell our children they can' t have chances to the Internet, we' re cutting them off from their future," said an expert.Most children have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding lots of interesting Internet sites and they can also go to places where you might not want them to go. There are such engines made just for children. A certain software (软件) contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit chances would be to use what is known as a "content screener(过滤器)”. But this can't be wholly safe, and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.A few other tips:1) Don' t put the PC in a child's room, but keep it in a place where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.2) Ask your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.3) Tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.1. What is the main subject about the passage?A. Fighting against children on-line.B. Internet in America.C. American children going on-line.D. Children's web sites.2. According to the passage, we can infer thatA. the writer doesn't encourage children to surf the InternetB. the Internet has a lot of harmful sitesC. the Internet is a forest full of dangersD. a child who is on-line is in danger3. What does the passage tell us most?A. EducationB. Good guidesC. PrecautionsD. Software十三Many people will remember the flight of the space shuttle（航天飞机）Challenger, in June, 1993. The achievement of Sally Ride, America’s first woman astronaut to fly into space, made this flight especially memorable. Students from two high schools in Camden, New Jersey, however, are likely to remember Norma rather than Sally whenever they think about the flight.Norma didn’t travel along. She brought about 100 companions（伙伴）along with her. Norma was an ant, a queen ant who, with her subjects, made up the first ant colony（群体）to travel into space. The ants were part of a science experiment designed by the students to test the effects of weightlessness on insects.The equipment designed by the students for their colony functioned perfectly through-out the long space trip. The young scientists and their teachers were very sad to find that their insect astronauts had all died at some point before the container was returned to the school and opened. The problem did not occur in space, but on the ground after Challenger had landed. The container remained in the desert for nearly a week before the ant colony was removed. The hot dry desert air dried out the colony’s container（容器）and the ants died from lack of moisture（水分）.The project was termed a success because it did provide useful information. Students will continue their efforts to find out exactly what went wrong. They will try to prevent the same difficulties from recurring on future missions. They don’t want to be discouraged either by the death of the ants or by the $10,000 shuttle fare they will have to pay to send the next colony of ants into space.1. The story is mainly about ___________.A. Sally Ride’s first rideB. space equipment for insectsC. a space experiment with antsD. going to school in New Jersey2. The project wasn’t a failure because ___________.A. some important things were learnedB. dead ants are betterC. everything went as expectedD. students wrote about it3. The ants died because _________.A. weightlessness harmed themB. space caused too much painC. no one fed them in spaceD. they dried out in the desert4 On the next space trip, ants _________.A. will be sent without peopleB. should not be left in the desert too longC. will have to pay double fareD. will escape the trip completely十四Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything—tutors , cards, special learning centers—in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic(天主教的) school.After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead，he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time，day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.Finally，little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise，little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her cu riosity .She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns(修女)? ”Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No. ”“Well then,” she asked again. “WHAT was it? ”Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed to the plus sign(加号),I knew they weren’t joking. ”1. Tommy’s mother felt surprised that his son____.A. was still the same as usualB. ate so much at dinnerC. kissed her hello after schoolD. worked hard but said little2.

He was walking along barefooted with a gun in his hand。

But in the modern society, women desire to go out of the house and find their places in the world. They work so hard to fulfill their value.在过去,男人的工作就是养家糊口，而女人就应该呆在家里处理各种各样的家务。
但在现代社会,女性渴望走出去,找到自己的价值。
她们努力工作来实现她们的价值。
In the traditional view, girls will marry someday and then they will focus on the family, so there is no need for them to work so hard. But it is totally wrong for the girls. No matter which stage they are in, they need to work hard to keep their economic source. As the saying that no money, no talk, so the girls can say out their thoughts loudly in the family instead of feeling shameful to fight for their rights.在传统的观点里,女孩总有一天会结婚,然后她们会关注于家庭,所以没有必要这么努力工作。

高中英语阅读短文
第一篇Not a Small ProblemMr. Ethan was a very large man. He had a loud voice and a bad temper. He was not giant(巨人,大力士), but he was much bigger than most men.Life was not easy for Mr. Ethan. He could seldom find clothes big enough. His feet were too large for most shoes. In fact, wherever he went and whatever he did, Mr. Ethan had problems because of his size. These problems were so bad that Mr. Ethan stayed at home most of the time. Life was easier at home.Then one day, a friend said, “you spend too much time at home. You should go out more. There ’s a good movie at the theater. ”“I can’t sit in theater seats, ” Mr. Ethan said. “I’m too big. ”“That is no problem,” his friend said, “I’ll buy you two tickets. You can get them at the theater when you go. ”The friend sent money to the theater for two tickets. When the day came, Mr. Ethan put on his best clothes an went to the theater.“You have two tickets for me, ”he said to the woman in the ticket office. “My name is Ethan. ”“Oh, yes, Mr Ethan, ” the woman said. “Here you are, seats G4 and P12. I’m sorry, you and your friend can’t sit together because we are very full this evening.”Poor Mr. Ethan. He smiled sadly, walked out of the theater andwent home.第二篇What a NightmareSometimes when a day starts off badly, it just keeps getting worse and wores as each hour passes. On days like this there is nothing to do but relax and know the next day will be better.Stone had a terrible day. His clock didn’t work and he got up late. He missed the train to work . Moreover, he had to wait a long time for the next train. As a matter of fact, he waited for more than two hours. To make matters worse, he left his briefcase on the train. As a result, he had to go to the police station. Poor Stone never got to work that day. What a nightmare!Try describing your own idea of a “nightmare ”day. It shouldn’t be hard. Everyone has days when they just seen to get up on the wrong side of be d!第三篇Whether Students should Take Physical Exercise Dear editor,I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had about whether students of Senior 3 should take physical exercise. 55% of the students think they should take exercise every day, such as doing morning exercises, playing ping-pong and basketball, but it shou ldn’ttake up too much time. Proper exercise can build up one’s body and reduce diseases. What’s more, sports let their brains have a rest so that they can study effectively.On the other hand, 45% believe taking exercise is a waste of time and it is tiring. After having sports, they are much too excited for a long time to pay attention to their lessons. It’s also possible get hurt in sports.Yours sincerely,Li Hua第四篇Mobile Phones at schoolDear editor,I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had about whether it is necessary for middle school students to carry mobile phones to school.The majority of the students think that it is more convenient for them to keep in touch with their parents and classmates if they have a mobile phone. And what’s more, it’s the latest fashion.However, most teachers think middle school students are not old enough to control themselves. It is a waste of time for students to play games and send messages to each other by mobile phone. And it’s easy to cause the students to vie with each other. If necessary, they can make phone calls by using public phones on the campus.In my opinion, following the fashion is understandable. But as middle school students, we should put all our heart into our studies.Yours truly,Li Hua第五篇Advertisements in Our LifeWe live in a world of advertisements. We see and hear them everywhere. No one can avoid being influenced by advertisements. Radio, television and computers have made it possible for advertisements to attract the attention of millions of people. Therefore, it has become an important part of our daily life.On one hand, advertising greatly promotes sales，on the other hand, in their efforts to tell people about products and events, advertisements provide us with a large amount of the latest information. Meanwhile, to make an advertisement, a lot of people will have to work together. So with the development of advertising a lot of jobs are being created.In a word, advertising is an important business.第六篇Treasure Your OpportunitiesThe air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it. Some people use the air to sustain(支撑)them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves. Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for themselves.Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take we take it for granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value.So many people are so anxious to “get in” on a “ground floor opportunity”, as if the opportunity will do all the work. That’s impossible.Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed. It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity. That’s not up to the opportunity. That’s up to you. It doesn’t matter what “floor” the opportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it.第七篇American Concept of LoveThe American concept of love and romance begins with dating. Young people date in several ways. At first they might have group dates with several boys and girls together. Later, they start going on singledates- just one boy and one girl. Sometimes a boy and a girl will go to a movie.Maybe they will go to a party at a friend’s house. Or they might go out to eat.When two couples go out together, we call it double dating. A friend might even arrange a blind date for you with someone you don’t know. That doesn’t mean you keep your eyes closed the whole evening! You just don’t know who your partner will be until the time for the date. If someone asks you for any kind of date, and you don’t want to go, you may politely say, “No, thanks.”第八篇The City of MusicMusic really does mean a lot to people. There were recently over thirty thousand people in the Forbidden City to watched this historical concert from almost forty countries.Listening to music is the favorite pastime of many people all over the world. This is especially true for the people living in Vienna, the city of music. Being the home of waltz.Music fills the air in Vienna. Going to public concerts is often free of charge. And don’t forget, Vienna is also home to the world famous Vienna Boy’s Choir. No wonder people say Austria is always alive with a sound of music.第九篇Rural EducationNow in the rural areas, there are many children out of school. I think one of the reasons is that their families are too poor to afford their schooling. As a result, they have to stay at home to earn money to support their families. Another reason is that many parents think i t’s useless for the girls to study and they would not like them to go to school. The third reason is that some children are not interested in their lessons, and would not like to go to school.In my opinion, all children including girls should have the chance to receive an education. People should pay more attention to the education of children because they will play a very important part in the future of our country.第十篇Advertisements in Our LifeWe live in a world of advertisements.

But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image(形象)of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past.“We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的)and selfish, but actually they have other things on their minds: they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation(商议)and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends.“My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me," says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” S usan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is notrooted in real facts. A researcher comments,“Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”67. What is the popular image of teenagers today? A. They worry about school.B. They dislike living with their parents. C, They have to be locked in to avoid troubles. D. They quarrel a lot with other family members.68. The study shows that teenagers don’t want to__________ .A. share family responsibilityB. cause trouble in their familiesC. go boating with their familyD. make family decisions69. Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today’s parents__________ . A. go to clubs more often with their children B. are much stricter with their childrenC. care less about their children’s lifeD. give their children more freedom 70. According to the author, teenage rebellion__________ . A. may be a false belief B. is common nowadaysC. existed only in the 1960sD. resulted from changes in families71. What is the passage mainly about?A. Negotiation in family.B. Education in family.C. Harmony in family.D. Teenage trouble in family.67. D解析:这是一道细节判断题。

高中学生英语课外阅读(一)Hip-hop spiritTURN on Channel V and you might find a singer in a baseball cap, baggy jeans and a big T-shirt rapping. Listening to hip-hop, it''s easy to swing your body to the rhythm (节奏), even if you have no idea what the lyrics are about.Hip-hop today is a worldwide movement. According to American professor S. Craig Watkins, hip-hop music is "a way to behave and an attitude". He says hip-hop is a rebellious (叛逆的) voice that resonates (共鸣) with young people.For Wang Liang, a 25-year-old DJ, hip-hop is a form of self-expression. "It''s free, like rock ''n'' roll. We can talk about our lives, what we''re thinking about and what we feel," Wang said in an interview with the New York Times.While American rappers have been popular in China since the 1990s, homegrown rap didn''t gain a following until a decade later. The group Yincang (meaning hidden) is one of the pioneers of Chinese rap. It is made up of music lovers from both sides of the Pacific Ocean: a Beijinger, a Chinese-Canadian and two Americans."The big change was when rappers started writing lyrics in Chinese, so people could understand," said Zhong Cheng, 27, a member of the group who was raised in Canada but born in Beijing, where he returned in 1997. "Before that, kids listened to hip-hop in English but maybe less than 1 percent could actuallyunderstand it."Yincang''s first hit song was In Beijing. It sets a melody (旋律) played on the Chinese traditional music instrument the erhu against a hip-hop beat. The song is an insider''s look at Beijing''s sights and sounds, such as traditional Siheyuan courtyard complexes, the bar area in Houhai, the Guijie food street and the clothes market near the zoo.However, making Chinese hip-hop is still relatively profitless. Members of Yincang still struggle to pay the bills after seven years together. But they haven''t stopped making hip-hop."When I met Jeremy Johnston (a member of the group), we were both so inspired by people here," said Zhong. "We wanted to drop some Chinese rhymes for the locals. From that day, we haven''t stopped rhyming. And we won''t stop."BONUSHip-hop is the culture from which rap emerged. Now the terms "rap" and "hip-hop" are,most of the time, interchangeable.Hip-hop culture: it''s a street culture that originated in the South Bronx, a district in New York City, in the mid 1970s. Hip-hop featured a group of uniquely dressed teenagers, rap music, breakdancing and graffiti art.高中学生英语课外阅读(二)Different ways we care for the deadTANG Dynasty writer Du Mu once wrote in a poem titled Qingming: "The ceaseless drizzle drips all the dismal day; So broken-hearted fares the traveler on the way。
高中英语阅读范文10篇
高中英语阅读范文10篇Here is an essay on the topic of "10 High School English Reading Samples" with over 1000 words, written in English without any additional title or punctuation:Reading is a fundamental skill that is essential for academic success and personal growth The ability to comprehend and engage with written text opens up a world of knowledge and opportunity for students learning English At the high school level English reading assignments can be particularly challenging as students are expected to analyze complex themes interpret nuanced language and draw meaningful connections between the text and their own experiences High quality reading samples can be invaluable resources for English language learners helping them develop the strategies and confidence needed to tackle advanced level textsOne such reading sample is The Crucible by Arthur Miller This classic American play explores the Salem witch trials of the 1690s and uses this historical event as an allegory for the anti-communist Red Scare of the 1950s when the play was written The Crucible presents a compelling narrative that delves into themes of mass hysteria religious extremism and the dangers of unchecked authorityStudents can analyze the complex motivations of characters like John Proctor and Abigail Williams as well as the broader social and political commentary embedded in Millers work This text challenges readers to think critically about power dynamics scapegoating and the consequences of fear-mongeringAnother impactful reading sample is Night by Elie Wiesel Wiesels acclaimed memoir recounts his experiences as a teenager during the Holocaust a devastating genocide that resulted in the murder of six million Jewish people Night provides a first-hand account of the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps and the immense physical and psychological toll endured by Wiesel and his family Students reading this text will be confronted with the stark realities of human cruelty and the fragility of our humanity but also find glimmers of resilience and the power of the human spirit to endure even the most unimaginable suffering Engaging with Wiesels poignant and harrowing narrative can cultivate empathy foster important discussions about human rights and inspire students to become agents of positive changeA third notable reading sample is Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury This classic dystopian novel envisions a future society where books are banned and critical thinking is suppressed Bradburys vivid descriptions of a totalitarian government that seeks to control the populace through censorship and technology raise profoundquestions about the dangers of conformity the importance of freedom of expression and the transformative power of knowledge Students delving into this text will likely be struck by its eerie parallels to our own information age where misinformation and online echo chambers pose risks to democratic values Analyzing the symbols themes and character arcs in Fahrenheit 451 can sharpen students analytical skills and deepen their understanding of the far-reaching consequences of intellectual suppressionIn addition to canonical works of literature high school English classes may also feature contemporary reading samples that offer fresh perspectives and diverse representation One such text is The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini This novel follows the story of Amir a privileged Afghan boy whose childhood is marred by an act of cowardice and betrayal set against the backdrop of Afghanistans tumultuous history from the final days of the monarchys rule through the Soviet invasion and the rise of the Taliban The Kite Runner provides invaluable insight into Afghan culture while exploring universal themes of guilt redemption and the power of friendship to heal deep wounds Students grappling with this text will not only gain exposure to a non-Western narrative but also have the opportunity to develop empathy for those whose lives have been devastated by war and political upheavalAnother contemporary reading sample that has garnered significantacclaim is The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas This young adult novel centers on Starr a black teenager who witnesses the police shooting of her unarmed friend Khalil an incident that reflects the all-too-real experiences of many young people of color in America The Hate U Give delves into the impacts of systemic racism police brutality and the Black Lives Matter movement through the lens of Starrs personal journey navigating the complex terrain of her neighborhood inner city school and the wider world Students reading this text will be challenged to confront uncomfortable truths about the realities of racial injustice in America while also finding inspiration in Starrs journey of activism and self-discovery Engaging with this timely and poignant narrative can cultivate critical consciousness and empower young people to become advocates for positive social changeThese are just a small sampling of the rich and diverse array of reading samples that can be found in high school English curricula each offering unique opportunities for students to develop their language skills analytical abilities and social-emotional learning While the specific texts may vary from school to school the underlying goals remain the same to expose students to a range of perspectives foster meaningful discussions about complex issues and equip them with the tools needed to navigate an increasingly interconnected world Through carefully selected reading assignments

2020-2021最新高考英语阅读理解精选及答案一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解As the President of Ariel Investments, I am often asked how to cultivate （培养） green hands to be qualified for a new job within a short time. My memories take me straight back to the days when I worked for John W. Rogers.While in college, I worked as an intern （实习生） at Ariel Investments. As the youngest girl of six kids from a single mom, I had very little knowledge of the business world. When I graduated, I decided to return to the company to improve myself.At the age of 22, my perspective was greatly influenced by lunching with the company's founder and then-president, John W. Rogers. He told me that I would often find myself in the company of rich and successful people with big titles, lots of degrees and lots of experience. And yet, my ideas could still be as good or even better, he said. This early advice became the guiding force that has helped me throughout my entire career. When I was starting out, I thought my inexperience was holding me back, but John said that it was a good thing. He told me that being inexperienced means that you have a fresh point of view.As my tutor, John encouraged me to be brave. As my boss, he took some giant leaps of faith to support me. Because of our first lunch and the years of support that followed, I never thought twice about speaking up, raising my hand or taking a seat at the table. Staying in the background was never a choice. But John's advice came with one important warning. I needed to keep my attitude in check. It's one thing to be firm but quite another to be rude. Similarly, there is a fine line between confidence and overconfidence. With that in mind, I have had to learn to balance the way I act around others. As someone once told me, "the goal is to be non-threatened and non-threatening at the same time."（1）What can we learn about the author from the text?A.

Company bosses.B. Those new to a job.C. Business consultants.D. Experienced teammates.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作为实习生，作者在实习期间受到公司的创始人、董事长John W. Rogers 深深地影响，John W.

Then, all the painters in the neighbourhood were defeated by a severe disease whose characteristic was alike to that of a bad burn.An expert physician was instructed to attend to the victims and handle this case. He was en thusiastic, but he didn’t foresee that it was a hard challenge. After simple enquiry, he announced that the polluted paint was to blame. But without positive evidence, people suspected and rejected his view, saying the theory he put forward made no sense. Being much more strict with himself, he contributed himself to the case. Apart from making enquiries, he made detailed charts and analysed the data cautiously. Finally, he drew a scientific conclusion, linking the disease to theradium in the pump. Exposed to radium, a kind of radioactive material in the universe, people absorbed radiation and got sick immediately.Spinning the pump backward, he took away the radium. This simple movement cured all the victims.当那座烟花工厂的建设到了油漆阶段时，一个水泵被安装进来，接着，在它附近的油漆工都得了一种严重的疾病(疾病击败油漆工)，其特征与烧伤相似。

Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for themselves.Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take we take it for gran ted. Yet opport un ity alone is not eno ugh to create success.Opportunitymust be seized and actedupon in order to have value.So many people are so anxious to “get in” on a “ground floor opportunity ” , as if the opportunity will do all the work. That' s impossible.Just as you n eed air to breathe, you n eed opport un ity to succeed. It takes more tha n just breath ing in the fresh air of opport un ity, however.
